Curry, General Agent of the Peabody funds, has issued a cir- cular giving the following information as to the distribution of that fund for educational purposes : 1. The Peabody Fund is not distrib- uted among the States according to population, nor in proportion to the | comparative destitution of any com- munity. The Trustees, in their “abso- solute. discretion,’ withhold funds when they would not promote the gen- eral purpose, and bestow liberally when they would be productive of beneficial results. 2. The greater part of the income will be hereafter used in the education of teachers for public schools. Aid will be given to Normal Schools, es- tablished, supported and controlled by a State, if they are of a high order. Normal Schools, where the art of teaching is the prominent branch of instruction, will be preferred to Nor- mal departments in academies and ‘colle zes. 3. The Trustees give to the States ) scholarships in the Normal College at Nashville. Teachers’ Institutes, con- ducted by trained experts, are also aided ; but the instruction must be practical, adapted to public school teachers, and coftinued for some weeks. 4. Only public schools carried on under State auspices will be aided. 5. The entire cost of maintaining schools is in no case met by the Trus- tees. A small part of the current ex- penses is contributed to encourage and stimulate the people to self-exertion in the cause of free, popular education. The amount of aid given to schools, will he determined partly by the amount of money raised by the State ta.r, local tax, or the voluntary contribution of the peo- sle, ‘ 6. As all public schools cannot be aided, a few will be selected in radiating centres, to illustrate, by their example, the best methods of teaching, and to exert a healthful influence in favor of “free schools for the whole people.” 7. The schools selected shall have at [least 100 pupils; shall be properly grad- ed, with a teacher for every 50 pupils; shall continue in session ten months in the year, and have an attendance of | not less than 85 per cent. of the enroll- ed pupils. 8. Application for aid must be made before or near the beginning of the school year, and have the approval of the local school officers and the State Superintendent. 4. The trustees assume no control whatever over, the schools receiving Peabody aid, leaving all questions of selection of teachers, discipline, &c., to the State or local authorities establish- ing and chiefly maintaing the schools. 10, Seeking the improvement of State systems of public education, the Trustees will act m co-operation with the State educational authorities. 11. Disclaiming all purpose of inter- ference with State legislation or the ad- ministration of school laws, or the ac- tion of State Boards and Superintend- ents and municipal school authorities, the trustees must have the liberty of performing the duties of the trust ac- cording to the known will and expressed language of the donor of the Educa- tional Fund rt — A Sallsbury Man in London. Mr. W.T. Linton, a citizen of Salisbury, who sometime since went to London, England, is now iv a big business iv that city. Mr. Linton’s friends in this count- ry will be interested in the following, which we find in the London Grocet’s Chronicle. ‘The trade in dessicated co- coanut, which has now become an indis- pensable article, both ino wholesale and dumestic confectionery manufacture, is assuming very extensive proportions in this country. Until very recently we believe that all such goods were import- ed. Not long since, however, the enter- prising firm whose name heads this notice, and who have for some time past operat- ed as importers, started a manufaetory ‘in Red Lion square. Here they have laid down extensive plant and machinery for turuing out dessicated cocoanut and o:ler vovelties in coufectionery, such as are familiar to our cousins across the water, and have retained the services of one of the most successful American manufacturivg confectioners. We have seen some samples of the cocoannt which is turned out from this manufactory, the ouly one iv this country for this class of goods, and we are bound to say that they excel ine Toa, tlavour and texture anything of the kind we have ever seen before. Weshould say that Messrs. Lin- tov, Hubbard & Co’s. cocoanut is not heavily loaded with sugar as is the case with most of such goods, but is so care- fully prepared that the original delicate | flavour is preserved.” -—>-___—_ Almost any excuse for insanity may -C., June Sth—tf.

Cleveland and Hendricks Fail to Provide for Their Households. (N. Y. Herald Washington Letter. | There is something in a name after all, at least with the present adminis- tration. A man named Cleveland, who claimed to be a cousin of the President, was well endorsed as a can- didate for the postmastership at Quin- cy, Ill. His backing was very good, and the residents of Quincy supposed his name would be sufficient to carry him through, even without endorse- ment. The President did not know wheth- er this Quincy..applicant.was.a cousin or not, for he had never heard of him before, but so as to be on the safe side he appinted another man to the place. The President does not intend that he shall be charged with filling offices with his relatives. There is a simi- lar atory connected with the appoint- ment of Israel Lawton as Superinten- deni of the mint at San Francisco, which was made to-day. All along there has been but one applicant for the place, a gentleman named Hen- dricks, whose strong point, he imag- ed was his name. He is a nephew of Vice-President Hendricks. There was a lot of Californians who wanted the place, but they did not take the trouble to file an aplication for it, for they were sure Mr. Hendricks would be appointed. But it appears that Vice-President Hendricks would not put himself on record in favor of his nephew, or even ask for his appoiut- ment. Judge Lawton arrived here several days ago, and was an appli- cant for another place, that of assis- tant treasurer at San Francisco. He was asked to withdraw his application for that place, and told that if he would file it for the position of Su- perintendent of the Mint he would receive the appointment, Tne sug- gestion was accepted, and Judge Law- ton who isin Albany visiting some relatives, was telegraphed to to-day of his appointment. Mr, Hendricks, like Mr. Cleveland, was badly left. Misleading Statements as to the War. We recently referred to the way the history of the war between the States is being written by Northern soldiers and others. We gave the number of men in the Northern ar- mies as reported by Gen. Drum, within a few days. We also men- tioned that 400,000 soldiers recruited from Southern States fought in the Federal army against the South. It was not really a war between the North and the Seuth, but a war be- tween the North and one-third of the South on the one side and two- thirds of the South on the other side. The South contributed two-thirds as many soldiers to fight against her as she sent into the field to fight for her. There were but 600,000 troops in the Confederate army, according to the reports of Adjutant-General Cooper. North Carolina furnished quite one-fifth of these. She gave the Confederacy more than 121,000. The false basis of inference in re- gard to the civil war is being pointed ‘out by such papers as the Boston Post and the New York Jivening Post. ‘The last named paper shows that the struggle was not between slavery and treedom, divided by geographical lines. It says that the usual statements are well calculated to mislead the rising generation, It then gives figures to show how far the South was divided and what proportion of its soldiers fell in battle on the Northern side. We copy an instructive paragraph. Tt eays: “Kentucky’s population available for military service was not mach larger than Michigan’s, yet no less than 10,774 Kentucky men gave up their lives for the Union, as against 14,753 from Michigan. ‘Tennessee, still nearer the heart of the Confed- eracy, sacrificed no less than 6,777 of her sons in the same cause. Missou- ri, with net so many white males be- tween the ages of 18 and 45 as Mas- sachusetts by over 25,000, had a death roll in the Union army of 13, 887, while that of Massachusetts was but 13,942. Delaware had only about half as many white males as Rhode Island in 1860, and her 882 Union dead constituted a larger pro- portion of her population than Rhode {sland’s 1,321.” It is after examening such sugges- tive figures aud comparisons as these that the Buston Post is prepared to say : “4 very interesting question arise- as to how much longer it would have taken the Union forces to win their victory had the South really been solid. — Wilmington Star. Attorney General Garland is credi- ted with having a bushel of fairly mouldy chesnuts, the most venerable of which he brings out when a bore calls on him, generally driving him away, to the great joy of the Attorney General, Mean People in Church. She was a little old woman, very plainly dressed in black bombazine that had seen much careful wear, and her bonnet was very old tioned, and people stared at her totfering up the aisle of the grand charch, evi- dently bent on securing One of the best seats; for a great man preached on that day, and the house was filled with splendidly-dressed people, who had heard of the fame of the preacher, his learning, his intellect and good- ness, and they wondered at, the pre- sumption of the poor old woman. She must have been in her dotage, for she went into the pew of the rich- est member of the church, and took a seat. The three ladies who were seated there beckoned to the sexton, who bent over the imtruder’and whis- pered something, but she was ‘hard of hearing, and smiled a little withered amile, as she said, gently: “Oh, I’m quite comfortable—quite comforta- ble.” “But you are not wanted here,” said the sexton pompously ; “there is not room. Come with me, my goud woman; ll see that you have a seat.” “Not room,” said the old woman, looking at her shrunken proportions, and then at the fine ladies. “Why, I’m not crowded a bit. I rode ten miles to hear the sermon to-day, be- cause—” But here the sexton took her hy the arm, and shook her roughly, ina polite, underhand way, and then she took the hint. Her faded old eyes filled with tears, her chin quivered ; but she arose meekly and left the pew. ‘Turning quietly to the ladies, who were spreading their rich dresses over the space she left vacant, she said, gently : “ET hope, my dears, there’il be room in heaven for us all.” Then she followed the pompous sexton to the rear of the church, where, in the last pew, she was seated between a threadbare girl and a shab- by old man. “She must be crazy,” said one of the ladies in the pew which she had at first occupied. “What can an ig- nerant old) woman like her want to hear Dr. —— preach for? She would not be able to understand a single word he said.” “Those people are so persistent | The idea of her forcing herself into our pew! Isn't that voluntary love- ly! There’s Dr, —— coming out of the vestry. Is he not grand a “Splendid! What a stately man! You know he promised to dine with us while he is here.” He is a commanding looking man, and as the organ voluntary stopped, and he looked over the great crowd of worshippers gathered in the vast church, he seemed to scan every face. His hand was on the Bible, when suddenly, Jeaning over the reading- desk, he beckoned to the sexton, who obsequiously mounted the steps to re- ceive the mysterious message. And then the three ladies in the grand pew were electrified to see him take his way the whole length of the church to return with the old woman, whom he placed in the front pew of all, its other occupants making room for her. The great preacher looked at her with a smile of recognition, and then the service proceeded, and he preached a sermon that struck fire from every heart. “Who was she?” asked the ladies who could not make room for her, as they passed the sexton at the door. “The preacher’s mother,” answered that functionary in an injured tone. — Advocate. —_ >> True Womanhood. However much it may be discred - ited by people with advanced ideas, the highest type of wemanhood and the highest place of honor for woman is that of the Roman matron, whose jewels were a family of pure daugh- ters and strong, dutiful sons, This is old fashioned and hum-drum ser- monizing, but, if it is not true, set us a picture of something better. The woman who raises such a family isa heroine. She endures mental and physical care and pain. She meets and overcomes great obstacles by pa- tient and persevering effort. She is compelled to win moral victories over rherself in order that she may win them over the wayward tendencies of her children, And the value of her ultimate victory is seen in the value of that she has won. In the first place she brings happiness and honor to her husband—a victory which is in the highest degree satisfactory to her mind-and heart. In the second place, her home exerts a salutary in- fluence upon other homes in the com- munity. And finally, her children, going out to establish other homes, and to exert their influence upon so- ciety, carry the blessings achieved by her heroism and constaucy toa great and an increasing circle of people. Women often repine at their circum- scribed limits of usefulness, ‘They would be great writers, great refurim- ers, or employ the power of great wealth. A small rain cloud which pours its refreshment on a small field will produce the sweetuess of blooms and fruits—scatter it over a wide area, and it will not even lay the dust—it will do no good whatever. If the energies of some of our popu- lar literary women were concentrated on a home and a family of children, there would be barvest of happiness and virtue to show for it—thrown broadcast, it becomes a_ profitless sprinkle of rain, Carbon dissipated iu the air is goods, for the general economy of nature, but give us rather the carbon in diamonds and in the cheery fire on the hearth.—Jnterior. ——->- —_ —- Music Has Charms. A brass band composed of insane in- mates of the Norristown Asylum para- ded on Friday about the grounds, wearing uniforms for the first time. They were very proud of their regalia, and when they passed in review of the Trustees and Physician-in-chief Chase, the lunatic who played the brass horn blew harder and the fat cymball player, who imagines he owns the State of Pennsylvania, clapped the cymbals to- gether with all his might, while the man who beat the bass drum, thumped away as if he were trying to knock the drumhead in. The uniforms are simi— lar to those worn by United States troops. When the band stopped play- ing for want of breath, the lunatics all looked at their uniforms and smiled proudly. In front of the main building, where the review took place, there is a circu- lar carriage drive, about 50 yards in circumference. The musicians tramp- ed around this drive for three-quarters of an hour, playing “A Boy's Best Friend is his Mother” and “Go to Sleep My Baby.” They played continuous- ly, switching off from one tune to an- other. When Dr. Chase showed his approval the insane musicians looked prouder than ever, and when they final- ly went away to the rear of the build- ings, they marched with a pompous step, still playing “A Boy’s Best Fnend is His Mother.” Their playing was above the average of the country band and they played with great zest. It was only when their instruments were taken from them that they became un- happy and irritable. Dr. Chase said that the treatment was very beneficial, and that two of the band who had been violent patients had been restored to a pacific state of mind through the in- tluence of the music they played. The band, which numbers twelve crazy men, was organized last Septem- ber. They practice two hours each day, and if they were allowed, they would blow their horns and.beat their drums all day and take them to bed with them at night. On the fourth cay of July the band will head a pa- rade through the streets of Norristown, in charge of five keepers from the asylum. Inventive Genius. The following are among the nov- elties that will be on exhibition at the Franklin Institute Exposition to be held in Philadelphia, beginning September 15th aud continuing till October 31: An antomatie scale capable of weighing grain as it flows in a fast running stream from the elevator, and at the same time registering each load and the total quantities.

It is said to haye a capacity of compos- ing 8,000 ems per hour and for dis- tributing an equal quantity of “dead” niatter, oa oo rr Tue Env or It.—_-John Day, a young man of Sharon Township, Pa., got on a wild drunk one day last week. Re- turning home with gun in hand and filled with forty rod whiskey, he con- cluded he would try his aim on the family cat, which he did, and killed the cat. His father rebuked him for killing the cat, whereupon he shot his father dead. After the drunken im- pulse, realizing what he had done, he attempted to kill himself. His mother witnessing all this, became a raving maniac. The young man is in jail to be tried asa patricide. And all this because the boy filled himself with murderous whiskey.

George Morrison of Balti- more, has received the following letter | from Rev. Henry Ward Beecher: “T thank you fer your friendly solic- | itude. I am sure that in the end; you will not be disappointed, though | on some points you may not agree | with me. The foundation doctrines, | as I hold them, are a personal God, Creator and ruler over all things ; the human family universally sinful ; the need and possibility and facts of conversion; the divine agency in’ such a work ; Jesus Christ the mani-| festation of God in human conditions ; | His office in redemption supreme. I do not believe in the Calvinistic form of stating the atonement. I do not believe in the fall of the human race in Adam, and, of course, I do not | hold that Christ’s work was to satis- | fy the law broken by Adam for call | his posterity. The race was not lost, but has been ascending steadily since | creation. I am in hearty accord with | revivals and revival preaching, with the educating forces of the chureh, and in sympathy with all ministers who in the several ways seek to build up men into the image of Jesus Christ, by whose faithfulness, gener- osity and love I hope to be saved and brought home to heaven. My ser- mons as published in the daily papers Iam not responsible for, They are fragments, and often utterly incorrect. —Baltimore American. — a Adjutant-General Jones issued or- ders on Monday that all Field and Staff officers, and the companies com- posing the First, Second, Third and Fourth Regiments (except such com- panies as have failed this year to pass the annual inspection by the Inspec- tor-General), will appear at Asheville, in heavy marching order, on Wednes- day, the 22d of July next, and report for duty at ‘Camp Scales,’ so named in honor of the Governor of North Carolina.” The troops will be fur- nished transportantion by the State, and the State will furnish tents, straw, lights, fuel, water, medicines, accom- modations for the sick, and horses for officers required to mount; the troops must furnish their own rations, the military fund being insufficient for that purpose. During the encamp- ment stands of colors will be present- ed to each regiment, with appropriate ceremonies; a competitive battalion drill will be held, and the command will be reviewed by the Goveraor and Staff. Davipson’s NEW PRESIDENT IN THE City.—Rev. Dr. Lefevre, of Baltimore, the president clect of Davidson College, arrived in the city yesterday and is the guest of Rev. Dr. A. W. Miller. He is expected to officiate at the prayer mect- ing this evening in the First Presbyterian church. Dr Lefevre, we understand, has virtually consented to accept the presidency of Davidson College, and in this, we hope, there is no mistake. He is adivine of great abilities and acquire- ments and is distinguished for his learn- ing. He will make a capable and officient president, and we know that his admin- istration would redound to the best in- terests of Davidson.—Charlotte Observer. a “Robert,” remarked the wife of a penurious man, “I have tried to be a good and faithful wife and have but one favor to ask you before I die.” “What is that, Margaret?” “You know I was born and reared in Cleve- land.

You remember this, Robert?” “Yes,” (uneasily). “My relatives are all buried there, and when I am gone I wish to rest beside them. Will you grant me this one favor?” “There will be considerable expense attaching to it,” (musingly). Oh, Robert! I will never rest in my grave aynwhere else!” “Well, Mag- gie, Vl tell you what L’'Il do. 1 don’t want to be mean about the thing.

While it does not require, any genius to abuse a man, it does to give him his due—perhaps “dew” is better orthography—-but really, why molest the uniformed dummies of Rome because they are abstainers? To ab- stain only means to refrain; withhold; deny ones self; give up. Who objects to a policeman’s denying himself and and withholding his refrain? Nobody. You don’t seem to know police. When did he not giye up? or abstain, if you will? There is not a rapscallion in all the land but can testify to his com- plete abstaineousness. It is clear, to the fair minded, that this attact is pure upishness; an unwarranted assault on the policemen of Rome. _ i -E -————— — The Walnut. A writer in the Garden (London) won- ders why this tree is but comparatively but litt'e planted, a singular fact when the beauty and value of its wood are ta- ken into account. For gnonstocks and much of our finer sorts of furniture, wal- pat timber is invaluable. Walnut trees, moreover, are free growing on almost all kinds of soil, and the erops of nuts which they produce would pay at least the rent of the land on which they grow, while freeholds might be purchased with trees of four score years of age, Walnuts in a tandseape, also, are trees of mark, their maghificent heads of fine foliage in parks or paddocks rendering them especially adapted tor such situations. They asso— ciate well with oak, beech, elm, sweet and horse chestuuts, as well as with various other trees, and they do not rob the land More than their companions do. Their smooth, glossy leaves are washed clean by every shower, aud the foliage is not so thick as to throw the rain off the grass or to keep air currents from circulating freely among the branches. There are, thereture, uo trees cither iu) park or pas- ture under which bLerbage grows better than it does under walnuts. Besides, walbuts come into leaf late, make thei growth quickly, aud lose their foliage Heatly all at once after the first autumn frost. Thusa chance is given to take the leaves out of the way, so as not to injure ike grass, while the shining dark young wood, w-th the grayish mature limbs, ave lett full in view. As to any tree that will grow more quickly into a wize to be useful, I do not know where to look for it. [have seen old walnut trees that measured from 60 to 90 feet high; di- ameter of branches 60 to 96 feet; and of bole or trank from 3 to 5 feet in diameter; nud, vo doubt, larger trees are elsewhere to be tound. Certainly every word of the above is true, and the WATRHMAN desires to give whint to the boys and girls of this county. There is no easier or surer road to ready money in the future than by the cultivation of the walnut. Any little boy or girl may lay the founda- tion to a fortune by planting walnuts. There are hundreds of spots on the farm Where a walnut may be dropped and pressed in with the foot. Ina few years, when these same young people grow to maturity, they will have a crop of trees that may enable them to buy a farm, or build a house. And if not necessary for immediate use, the value of the land is more than doubled. Look to 1t young people, that every fence coruer has its walnut tree; and that the old fields are studdied with them. It means money. You have ample time to do this work, and there is no culti- vation necessary, The tree will grow to pertection without your assistance. See that you put the seed in the ground; your reward is sure, and may come at atime when you are in sore need. ‘There is no danger of an over crop— prices will always be good. Nores.—Mr. J.C.

C,, June 27, 1885, Republicans ia effice have long looked forward to the coming Ist. of July as a day of dvom. I¢ will be the beginning of the new fiscal year, and they conjectare that the Democrats will want to begin it with new men. How sweeping the changes nay be no one knows, bat all believe that some changes will be made, and that a large number will be dismissed, and their places left vacant. Attorney General Garland has taken the initiative and made a clean sweep in the Department of Jus- tice. Hereafter there will be none bat Democrats on guard in at least one Cabi- net officers department. Iu the ninety days since Commissioner Mills took charge of the Iuternal Revenue Bureau, out of the eighty four Internal Revenue Collectors in the eouutry be has appointed sixty new oues. The remain- ing officers to be changed are one each in Coloradv, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New Hamp- shire, New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsiu; five each in Illinois and New York, and three in Pennsylvania. These will be taken up as rapidly as possible, and soon there will not bea Republiean Internal Revenue Colleetor in the eountry. Represenative Springer was to see Sec- retary Manning to-day. He says he is just from the people. He finds there are three classes expressing different opivions about the adminisitration; these who are in say it is too fast; those who are out and want to get in say it is too slow; and the great masses say it is just right. Mr, Springer agrees with the masses. Mayor Grace of New York is in Wash- ington, and has been ju consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury. His basi- ness here isin regard to the New York collectorship, and to give some valuable advice concerning all the N. Y. patronage. His presence here is taken as significant, that the time for making those appoint- wents is close at hand. Tn view of the circulation of reports to the effect that the Agricultural depart- went had been paralyzed in all its work by the exhaustion of the current fiscal year under the administration of the late Commissioner Loring, I to day made in- quiry of the chief officials of that depart- ment ag ta the extent of the embarass- ment fur want of tunds, and was jnform- ed that the seed division under the pre- sent regiine, had not been able to do any- thing because there was not a dollar of the fund belonging “to it left te operate with. It was found necessary to furlough the employes of the statistical diviaion because the money appropriated fo it for the curveut fiscal year had all been ex- pended. The laboratory fund had been used under the late Commissioner for the purchase of seeds, and hence that divisjou was left without any money, which made the furloughing of some of its employes necessary. Nvutwithstauding the disad- vautages imposed, considerable work has been done in this division under the new commissioner. All the divisious except the three named have been regularly at work, and while the forces of some have beeu reduced, more has been accomplish- ed withiu the same length of time than hitherto, I have talked with a number of Repub- lican senators during the last two weeks and I do not think from all Iecan learn that there will be any organized epposi- tion to the apointments of President Cleveland. The Republican senators are old peliticians, and accustomed to ac- quiesce in the fortunes of politics. The majority of them respect the President, and concede that his appointments are in the main excellent. Few senators will have more influence in the next Congress than General Logan, and it is known that he ison amicable terms with the President, and his Cabinet. The same may be said ofa majority of Republican Senators perhaps the only exceptions are the two senators from Virgivia, Mahone and Riddlegerger, ee The arrest of Maxwell in New Zealand for the murder of Preller may result in giving hima return voyage to the United States at no cost to himself, and then a trial for no higher crime than attempt to defraud an insurance company. The company in England in which Preller Was insured for $20,000 doubt or deny that he is dead. Preller’s family are lit- tle affected by the news of his death; and it is pow hinted, perhaps opeuly alleged, that the mutilated subject of the horrible sensational murder was nothing more than the dead body of some poor victim of disease, bought at a city hospital, cut upaud packed away, and purposely plac- ed in the way of discovery, while the two conspirators separated each his own Way, to come together when the jusurance money was paid. Such a plan was entirely practicable in a city of the population of St. Louis, The parties were entire strangers and im) posture was very easy. The sensation gotten up was readily inflamed by the horrors attending the discovery of the mutilated body. The Suspicion once poss- essing the public miod, and the attach- ment of it to the fugitive Maxwell, gave the tragedy areality which impressed the whole world with its Startling peculi- arities, We beliere that there was & murderer and a Vietim, and that Sympathy and Sentiment or cnrivsity have not been ex- citedin vain. Yet the insurance com- panies move in the matter with a very calm business eye and may expose a plan of deceit as curivus, if vot so blood curd- ling as the story of the murder, — A she- ville Citizen.

Rev. Dr. J. V.

The secretary bas also received the acceptance of Prof. C, C. Norwood, who was elected to the chair of natural philosophy and astronomy. It is also understood that the application of students for admission, at commence- ment, were a8 many as_ usual, while the retiring graduating class was unusually small. The finauces of the college are in a sound condition. while handsome addi- tions and improvements have been made to the buildings avd grounds within the past year. With its chairs all ably filled, and with its record for sound scholarship and good morals the outlook of the college is cheering. It may not be generally known that the trustees are endeavoring to endow two additional chairs, one of Bible In- struction and Christian Evidences, and the other that of English language and literature. The latter is more especially under the auspices of the Alumni Asso— ciation, and it is hoped that the work will be completed against the semi-cen- tenary of the college two years hence. About $8,000 was added to the endow- ment fund during the past year by a few months work by Dr. Mack, the financial agent of the college. Arrangements have been made for a two year’s canvass of the churces by Dr. Mack, and if his past success is any indication of the final result, the friends of the college have the strongest assurance that the work will be accomplished.—Char.

He walks Pennsylvania Avenue, wearivg a broad brim straw hat, indifferent to the charms of fascinating women and heedless of the things that cause most frequenters of that maguiticent boulovard to loitre and look. He walks with a swing anda sweep that defies all military rules—plain, un- pretending, honest, vigilaut, conuscien- tious Jolin Henderson. Witha beardless, intellectual, priestly face, one would im- agive he could not laugh.

ATELIER LIP. 5 SI AOA a EE MINING DEPARTMENT. R. M. EAMES, JR., M. E MANAGERS. T. K. BRUNER. $5,500 was the product in gold from Hoover Hill for the month of May. The result of 644 tons of ore. The Supt. re- ports that he has some ore that will run $20 per ton. The main shaft is now 256 feet down on the vein which holds guod with every evidence of continuing so. oe ens The London, England Afining Journal The manager and mining Supt. of letter dated June 8ayVs : the Russell mive ina 2ud, writes as follows: “We are at work on Riggen Hill with 20 men and taking out splendid ore, which will mill 850 per ton, The assays today gave as $2438.04 per ton. All is very free and pans well. Since my last LT have opened a uew lead on Riggon Hill whieh is about four feet wide and the best ore yet found and plenty in sight. I crashed and amalgamated two pounds which gave $70 per ton, and another satnple of 4 pounds that gave $37 per ton, noc picked ore. All the ore pros- pects well aud will millaplendidly. Ina subsequent letter dated June doth 13885: We are makiog good progress with every- thing. We have all our force on Riggon Hill and are taking out ten tons per day, Average not assayed, bat will mill well. We are working two leads, one 4 feet and another J to 3 feet, all good ore. Will commence sinking soon in big cut ov Riggov Hill. But have pleuty of ore tu stope, for three or four months. This is a big nine of itself. In fact we do not know how big for it proves better the lower it goes down.” This exploitation work seems to be de- velopiug a monstrous, wonderfully rich deposit. When last on this property, the prospect was rather poor, except to wark on avery large and economical scale the mass of low grade ore. This could be breken from the sidés of the open cut, and falling to the centre, loaded on tram cars, and transported ,to the mill at avery lowcost. The exceeding cheap- ness of this mode made the handling of that grade of ore possible. It is well known that there were several quarts strings, rich in free gold, in this mass of ore. When last seen by the writer, these strings had been gouged after by local petty miners, and it was impossible to get a fair specimen. These ‘‘strings” were small, but rich, and course, help to sustain the average of the mine. The mass, taken as a whole, will average on the mill about three doilars per ten. Itis perfectly free, and can be mined and milled at remarkably figures—low enough to make three dol- lars pay. But must be conducted asa business; with rigid economy. The tenor of the reports going to Eng- land are misleading. When the crash comes, American miues must be abused, and the market depressed for Americau properties. ‘Lhe WaTCHMAN wishes to be placed on as warning the stockholders in Should there be occasion to duubt would be Wise as a matter of policy, to have some reliable, trustworthy, local expert—say Mr. R.

Rose’s house, can be seen the ef- fects of a water spot, or something equally as wouderful. Ona hill side, that was thickly covered with shrubbery, with here and there a tree of considerable size, can be seen the following described effects of water. There are two places, one 20 feet the other 16 feet in diameter, and the two 75 yards apart, that have been torn and washed out to the depth of abont 14 inehes. In oneoft the places stood a sourwood stump (green) at least 18 iuch- es in diameter, a cedar of considerable size, and other saplings all of which, to- gether with the earth, down toa solid rock, were swept by a solid current of water, down to the branch, some forty feet below. This water mast have fallen upon it from the clouds, and thas tore ont the earth, because just atthe edge of the fresh made cavity, we find leaves, sticks, dry grass &c., undisturbed. Many visi- tors have gone to see it and all agree, that it must be seen to be fully apprecia— ted. Had it occurred in daylight,it surely would have been wonderful! to behold. THE CROPS. The wheat crop is nearly all harvested, and is good ip the grain, vats is very good, aud if not destroyed by storm there will bean average crop made in this section, cord on upland is fine but the low lands are badly damaged by water. All the bridges on Irish Buffalo have been washed away. W. A. Communicated. ~- Tae Lutueran S&S. 8. Picnic. Parry met at the Lutheran parsonage on Tues- day June 30th, at 9a.m. to arrange and pack themselves m vehickles, én line, for Dunn’s Mountain. Ths recent hail aud rains, a special providence seewing- ly, had caused a cold wave to reach Sal- isbury and chemically prepare the atinos- phere for out door life and pleasure. Or- dinarily the S. S. is less than a hundred, and some always tardy, but about 150 were present; and the long train of ve- hickles moved off about 9.15 a.m. ’mid the masical ring of silvery voices chiming like bella in gleeful farewells. The little fairy tales, ditties, and seugs produced a strange, but most agreeable and pleasing sy mphovious harmony which Was broken continually by cheerful overtures of laughter. The Bible class of youug ladies, about 20 in number, chaperoned by the pastor, Rev. Wm. Stoudenwmire, had the most imposing turpoat—four elegant, grey, match steeds prancing, as though keeping time wiih the musical voices that made reson ant the rear. Everything with- in the limit of vision of our more than Argus eyed party became the subject of criticism, comment or lengthy diseassion. Natures face was clear, bright, and cheer- ful as the faces of the picuicers, iv fact some places were two cleat for where there ought to have been svil, corn, wheat, rye, oats, &e., and even bridges, there were none, the late freshets had taken them clean away. There is pot perhaps a more beautilul variagated road of four miles scenery in Rowan county, than this between Salisbury and Dunun’s Mountain. The party reached the eychauted grounds atJO1J5a.m. During the eight hours spenton this mountain, satisfaction beam- ed 80 placidly from) every countenance and joy rang outso freely with every sound in conversation aud song that all knew that it was the right day, the right place and the right party to spend a most pleasant and protitable day iu the woods. Swinging, croqueting, mountain climbing and other gaines too humerous to mention engaged the greater part of the cas. At 12.80 the long table, over a hundied feet, was arranged and the 8.8. and party of tricuds were invited to take their places, the pastor offering thanks for the beauti- ful day aud continued mercies aud bless- lungs and asking a blessing upon the rich profusion of good things, all were asked tu help themselves and each other. ‘This was the first, and atdS p.m., it was re- peated ; 60 that every one went heme feeling satistied with pleasure and sitis- tied with good things liberally prepared to eatand to drink. Murs. Stewart, liv- ing near-by, in the absence of her hus- band, showed us no little windness. Sire has vur hearty thanks. Starting back at 6 p.in., the party reached the Luth. par- sonage at 7 p.m., thus ending the most delightful picnic in the history of Salis- bury E. L. 8.8. 3 —_ ~~ For the Watchinan. German Carp. SaxisBpury, N. C., June 25, 1885. Mr. Editor: A good deal has been said and written, both pro and con, coucern- ing the German Carp. Ihave had such experience with them as enables me to speak advisedly on the subject. It will doubiless be remembered that 1 once had my poud well stocked with earp, but that by the June freshet of 1883 my dam was broken, avd Ilost nearly 100. ludeed [lost every carp but two, both of whith T still have. One is a Leather Carp, now four years old and will weigh about 10 lbs. The other is a Seale Carp, three years old and of about 6 lbs. weight, Not knowine the sex of cither of those two Thad litle hopes of getting a stock from them. Consequently, during De- cember last. T procured 285 young oues, averaging 2 to 8 inches long. These latter are now from 7 to T1 inches lone. Tcaught one 10 inches long, had it dress- ed and cooked, and [ can honestly say, that I never ate a sweeter, jacier, or bet- ter flavored fish in my life, and all) who tried it prououneed it ere lent. Thave a snateh net, with which 1 oeea- sionally catch up my yearling carp, for the pupose of seeing how much they have grown. In snatehing up the net, [thought I discovered some very small tis! slipping through th: meshes. I got a thin rag, about the size of a pocket handderelhief, and tied it on the center of the net, and aut the very first snatch Tmade T caught up several young carp, and I frequently, after leaving the net in for ten or fifteen minutes, make a snatch and catch as ma- ny as 20 to 25. These young oues are now from 14 to 2% inches long, and are about equally divided) between the scale and the leather species with mow and thep a mirror carp. From appearances T mast have from 5,000 to 10.000 young ones—all from thoce two parent tish. Re- cently [have been paying much better attention to my fish than formerly, know- ing that with such immense numers ina small pound it would be difficult to for them to procure a sufficiency of food. Therefore, Ihave been feeding them reg- ularly, every day, and there is nothing that will show its keeping sooner than a carp, not even a pig; and indeed they eat almost abything thata pig will eat. I feed them corn bread, stale wheat bread, and usually have wore Irish potatoes cooked than will be used by the family, and take the surplus to my fish. They are always rendy and anxious to receive their share of them, and also of beans, squashes, cabbages, and other vegetables. Tam decidedly well) pleased with my carp, being tully satistied that with good attention and feed, one acre of pond, stocked with carp, will produce more pounds of excellent fish than cau be pro- duced of any other kind of meat, by the cultivation of five acres in any other crop. Besides, they are much wore palatable and cost less trouble or expense than any other kind of meat. He who has a well stocked carp pond is fortunate indeed, and almost every ove owning a farm, on which there isa spring branch, can have a earp poud, and no matter if sniall, beause a pond of only a few reds square will furvish carp. sufh- cient to supply a family. After crops are “laid by” is the proper time to build your pond, (aud be sure you build it right), Theu, no matter from Wheyce you propose to precare you stock fish, order at once, before the sup- ply is exhausted, as the main trouble is and has been to get them at all, owing to their scarcity and the great demand for them. And baving put in your orders, and got the promise of them, wait pa- tiently for them until Nevember or De- cember, when the weather and water is cold, as they will vot bear Wransportation until then. Yours truly, W. R. Fraver. News & .Observer.—Vhe necessity fora diversification of pursuits ina country which is chitly agricultural as ig Nerth Carolina, was poitedly enforced by Capt. R. B. Tillman, of Edgefield, S. C., in the course of an address delivered recently before a farmers’ club of his county. Capt. Tilman showed that edgefield is practi- cally barren of manufactares and that, excepting railroad employees, every body ourselves, a or ‘indirectly for: enpport. nC- eerding to a repert in‘ thi Augusta Chronicle ri ‘Our merchants have no custemers but farmers, our doctors no patients buat far- mers, our lawyers no clients but farmers. here isa farmer on side or the other of pevery business transaction, and the far- met being the prodacer and creator of wealth furnishes the oil which labricates the social and industrial wachinery * * Hin other communities where manafactar- lngis carried on and where wealth is also created by enhancing the value of raw material, the merchant, lawyer and doctor do not depend on farmers except indireetly. We raise the food, they con- sume aud are the best customers of the manufacturers; thas again showing oar- solves the judispensable element, the mainspring asit were, of society. Of eourse it will be understood that I do not meao our farmers when I talk of feeding peeple, as we don’t even feed We have reversed the order of things and buy from the merchant nearly all we consume, while we indalge iu the luxury of making cotton, which costs us ten cents a pound and sell it at nine cents. | ———_~ Justice is coming around. The big ones arefcatching their share. The juries are losing their reverence for rich crimi- nals. These are getting what is known as Jersey justice; that is they are getting exactly what the poor man gets for crime. This is right, and will bring back again that respeet for the administration of law which has well nigh been abandoned. The last instance is that of the fraudu- lent banker James D. Fish, who gets ten years in striped clothing. A year ago he was arrayed ig purple and fine linen, and fared samptuously every day. Even in Ludlow street jail his fate was nota hard one; and there was always a pros- pect, if it came the worst, of slipping over to the other side, and chuckling in Canada with fellow seamps over the easy gulibility of the American people, and there pleasantly loose way in business matters which made fraud so easy. All this is ended uow,and the big Fish is stranded high and dry on the rocks of Sing Sing.—Asheville Citizen. SESSA A NI, DIED.. Mary, infant daughter of William and Helen R. Harrison, passed away from earth to the arms of the Good Shepherd, on the morving of the 25th iust., at half past 5 o’clock a.m. Like some beautions song-bird she rested awhile, then flitted away to sun- nier skies, leaving the echo of her songs and a vision of beauty behind ip the over, shadowed home. Of perfect physique and remarkable intelligence, her life though brief, wove about the hearts of bereaved ones, ties of love that reach beyond earth across the dark river to that bright clime where the little one las found a home. There is no death there. The flowers fade and drop their fragant petals, the bright orbs that deck the azue vault grow dim and lost to sight, anon the flowers return in all their beauty, the stars ap- pear with brighter luster. So Mary our little “birdie” will come again when He cometh to make up his jewels, his bright- est and his best. B. In this county, Miss M. Amanda Carri- gan, aged 59 years and 2 months. She was for many years a consistent member of Thyatira chureh. For seuwe time she had been in rather feeble health; but her last sickness was short, as she became completely prostrated within a few hour after the attack. Thus has passed away one of the older members of our chureh, and, while her place in the Chureh below is now vacant, we trust she has entered into that ‘Rest which re- mains for the people of God.” In this city, 27th ult., Mr. Fred.

There took place lately near my house two of those instantaneous deaths which are commonly called trag- ic, but which seem to me the most en- viable mode of passing away from earth. Two maiden ladies had for many years led their blameless lives together in a modest cottage quaintly situated in the sharp angle of two streets, and made picturesque in summer by the flowers and vines that were devoutly tended by its occupants, They had long eked out their modest income by taking a few boarders, and had by simple kindliness made their house as genuine a home to many other persons as to themgelves. As years grew upon them this care was laid aside, and they dwelt quietly to- gether. One day last week one of them was taken to drive by a young girl, a relative. She took with her a pet dog. In some way the dog almost fell out. The old lady leaned forward suddenly to save him. The motion brought on palpitation of the heart, and she died without a struggle. The news was swiftly carried to her home, where the shock produced a similar effect upon the other sister, and was almost as sudden- ly fatal. In each case it scarcely seem- ed like death, but like the sundering of some exquisitely delicate cord. “We scarce could say, She died; So sweetly anchored on the other side.” In thinking on this sudden extinc- tion of a household, my thoughts have often turned back upon the fact of that household itself; how complete it was, how contented, how serene, and how thoroughly femine. After all, let men boast as much as they please, and wo- men complain as much, there is one immense advantage in the position of women—that they can create a home for themselves unaided, as men cannot. How independent seems the life of a young unmarried man compared to that of a young woman! How the sis- ter usually envies the brother! But by a silent compensation in nature, as years advance, the balance changes, and if they are left alone in the world, it is the brother who has reason to envy the sister. “A bachelor’s life,” says some one in Hyperion, “its a splendid breakfast, a tolerably: a most miserable supper.” A single man may have anestate, a principality; he can own a great hotel and fill it with guests; but he cannot create a home without a woman to help him, and that, too, a woman whose seryice ig not for money. When it comes toa home there is not a Solitary dress-maker in the land, ensconced in her one little room with her geraniums, her canary, and her sewing-machine, who cannot completely eclipse him, this being the result not of his sins, but of his sex. Undoubtedly each reader will think, or try to think, of some exception to all this—some single man who is hap- y, some “jolly bachelor,” some cheer- “1 widower. No doubt there are those who can be happy, especially during the first half of life, without the sense of home. A, with his wealth and his paintings and his yachts and his delight- tul monologue; B, with perpetual jour- nevings; C, with his six dogs; and our late Cambridge professor, with that family of hens which he tended, like a herdsman, with a long staff, and which he trained to take food from stakes stuck in the ground instead of scrateh- ing in the flower beds—all these may doubtless have found a bachelor life not ‘neonsistent with happiness; but where, after all, isthe home? Neither yachts, nor pictures, nor steamer tickets, nor dogs, nor hens, can supply that. ‘Home,’ says the proverb, “is where the heart is;” but if so, no man seems to have heart enough fo fit out a home without a woman to help him. A Woman can do ‘t for herself: there lies her advantage. It may be harder for a woman to make money; undoubtedly it is harder. She makes a dollar, perhaps, where a man makes twenty, but when it comes to purchasing power her dollar goes the farthest toward the maintenance of a home. So long as she retains it she is strong and self-respecting; and even if she parts with it, so strong is the in- stinct of home that she can sometimes reconstruct it for herself even in a boarding-house. If the home is com- bined with a little freedom in the use of money, it gives more comfort and more local prestige than a lone man can win by a fortune.

To the older m- ‘habitants of the town she always seems | young and even elegant; she has a pro- longed tradition of precedence that out- |lays youth and beauty; i if she has a sie- pies they arespoken of to the end -of their days as “the Parker girls.” All this is the joint result of wom and home, or of that womanhood which | creates home. It is not only potent for itself, but it extends its potensy over all other homes. What, compared to. this, is the social position «ven by wealth to the lonely old bachelor of the country village? aeenee he be a mil- jionaire, he is simply “the old batch.” The truth is that as people grow old- er it is the man who becomes dependent, and the woman the central an essenti- al figure of the household, since she ‘can do without him, and he can not do | without her. The proof of this lies in the fact that we see all around us self- ' sufficing and contented households of women, while a house that contains i men only is a barrack, not a home. In | youth it is easy to ignore this, to say | with Shakspeare in Henry V., “Tis ever common That men are merriest when away from home;” but the merriment is shallow, the laugh ie forced, and years and illness and sor- | row soon bring man back, a repentant prodigal, to his home and to woman, the only home-maker. ) oo Ooo oe Bureau of Ethnology.

Dr. Cyrus ‘Thomas, in charge of the divi- sion of mound exploration, will take the field with two or three assistants, going first to Wisconsin to examine and etudy the effigy mounds of that jocality, and later in the season to Mississippi and Tennessee, where con- siderable work has been accomplished. This division has been in operation about three years, under the charge of | Dr. Thomas, and has secured about ‘fifteen thousand specimens of the | handiwork of the mound-builders, the study of which, together with the survey of the mounds themselves and their surroundings, is gradually lead - ing to a solution ef certain acheologic | riddles which a few years since seem- | ed inselvable. While some of the mounds are doubtless vory ancient, others, similar ‘n ebaracter and equally interesting, have been built up since the advent of | Europeans. A string of sleigh-bells, | much corroded, but still capable of tinkling, was found among the flint and bone implements in a mound in Tennessee, while in Mississip- pi, at the point where De Soto is, supposed to have tarried, a Spanish coat-of-arms in silver, one blade of a! pair of scissors, and other articles of | European manufucture were found in positions which indicated that they were buried by the original builders of the mounds. In a Georgia mine two copper plates were found upon which were stamped figures resem- | bling the sculptures upow the Central | American ruins. Aside from these plates nothing has been found to indicate a connection between the mound-builders and the: Aztecs or the Pueblos. A famous “el- ephant” mound, which has long been a bone of contention among ethnolo- | gists, and which, in the opinion of , some, proved that the mound-builders | were co-existent with the elephant, upon this continent, appears. by the | lates and most careful survey to have no trunk at all. Without the trunk the mound bore as much resemblance to a fox as to an elephant, Mr. Victor Mindeleff, whose mod- els in clay of the Pueblo cliff and cave villages are among the most conspic- uous and interesting objects in the National Museum, has already start- ed out to revisit New Mexica, Utah and Arizona. Last season he went into Chaco Canon, New Mexico, and surveyed several remarkable ruived Pueblos of great antiquity. The can- on is two or three day’s march from the nearest civilization. The ruins are of masonry far superior to the Pueblos of the present days, and re- main standing in places to the height of forty feet, showing the floor-lines of three and four stories. The largest group covers more greuod than the Capital at Washington. | { rr oe a “Castine PEARLS BEFORE Swine.” — Begging people to pay their honesé | debts while they spend money for dress and plated “jewelry.” Poor fools, the!

Jericho and the Jordan. This ancient town is celebrated for the great number of palm trees grow- ing near it, and on that account is call- ed “The City of Palms.” The town is a square tower, surrounded by Arab huts and tents. It is only a short distance | from the Jordan, a river taking its rise in Lake Philala,in Anti Libanus. It runs underground for fifteen miles, then breaks out at Peneum ; passes through Samachomite Lake. Two miles after Jeaving the lake isa stone bridge of three arches, called ‘Jacob’s Bnidge,” supposed to have been built before the days of Jacob. After separating Gali- lee from Tracontis, it passes through Lake Tiberias ; then, after a caurse of 65 miles, part of the way through a vast, horrid desert, receiving the Carith _on the bank of which Ehjah was fed by ravens—and many other tributary streams, it empties into the Dead Sea. It is a very rapid river, four or five rods wide and nine feet deep, and ex- cept in freshets runs two ards below the brink of its channel. It waters are turbid, but very wholesome.— Fireside Visitor. —__——- ~~ > Mrs. C. M. Rowell, who has just ar- rived in a New York village from Cal- Ipit orator | |is making arrangements for the fu- | ifornia, relates some thniling experl- ences of her trip across the continent. She, in company with three or four friends, was stting in a Pullman sleep- er, and before the train had got far from its starting point a bullet crashed through the car and killed a young lady of the party. This startling trag- edy had the effect of making another member of the party sane; and be- fore Mrs. Rowell had travelled much further another bullet was fired throagh the window of the car in which she sat. All this happened in the far West, where the Republican party tri- | umphs. It has no political significance, of course, but had such outrages occur- rod in a Southern State Murat Halstead and Whitelaw Reid, the champion South-haters, would have made a great owl and fanatically pointed to_the muderer’s conduct as the fruit of Dem- ocratic rule. Those two rabid editors, no doubt, gnashed their teeth when they read ve Rowell's recital to think that the Democratic South, instead of had not been the the scene of shooting.—Rich- mond State. —_—__~+.- THINKING AND WoRKING.—Eve- ry one who would rise must ‘be a thinker and a worker. Not chiefly by study or reading willa man be- come the first; there is often much knowledge with few ideas ; there are very learned men without any grand thoughts of their own. Every one, whatever his opportunities, can evert his own mental powers upon what is near to him; and this force will in- crease with exercise.

These | figures give son? idevot the impor | tance of the farming interests, and | perhaps should be supplemented by the | amount of staple productions and value | of live stock. These three counties, produce about twenty thousand bales | of cotton; a million one hundred and | seventy-tive thousand bushels of corn: a quarter of x million bushels of wheat: ! a quarter of a million bushels of oats: more than a hundred and twenty-tive | thousand pounds of tobacco, and a host | of smaller crops. The aggregate value | of live stock amounts to more than | $680.326.00. The mineral wealth in | these three counties 1s beyond estimate: | there are seventy-five known locations, | all of which are gold bearing.

The river at this point is not! more than half the width which itattains | before leaving the State. If thefore 300 horse powers be taken as an average | for the fall of 850 feet from Wilkes- boro’ ta the State-Jine, the aggrevate of horse powers developed is 255,000, The practical effect of this force may | be seen from astatement of the amount | of work which it is capable of performn-, ing, as for example in driving Cotton Mill machinery, being sutlicient to} turn 10,200,000 spindles, which is four times as many as are found in Massa- | chusetts, and far more than in all the factories in the Umited States.” Some of the best powers on the’ Yadkin are found from the railroad | bridge, in this county to the State line, | and the construction of this line of. road, even to Albemarle would make! these powers accessible. | These are some of the reasons, from | an industrial point, which favor the! scheme.

Most unfortunately, as all people think, the design has now been changed, so that the new building is sep- arate, approaching no nearer the old ove than the 144 feet. Itis to be really an independent building, four stories high, | with a front of pressed brick with stone trimmings. Its frontage on West Eden- ton street is 1054 feet aud on North Salis- bury street 101 feet: Tt will be taller than the adjoining building and of a to— tally different design. It will contain the rooms of the Supreme Court, the State Library and the offices of the State Su- perintendent of Public lnstruction. ee The New York Mereury publishes a eg mine-hued story about a young physi- cian who attempted to restore a dead girl to life. The gitl died of heart disease vere unexpectedly, when she was play- ing witha dagger. The doctor locked himselfin the room with the corpse and placed the poles of two galvanic batteries over the heart and the bass of the brain. Several persons who were waiting out- side of the roam heard an unearthly shriek. They burst open the door, and saw a horrible sight. The dead gir! was on the floor, face down, with arms out— stretched. In her right hand she. still clutched the dagger. The doctor was kneeling on the floor by her side with her hand ou liis breast. In a few words heexplained that the girl came to life and stabbed him. He then fainted. The murderous corpse was sent to the ceme-— tery, and the doctor was conveyed toa hospital, where he vow lingers between lifeand death. Queer story. ee ee The machinery of the cotton seed oil mill, Raleigh, N. C., will be put in a new two story building 85x45 feet, now being built, the old building being used for the “Raseals™ are still with us,< The 17 year locusts have come atid gone andthe “Rascals” -are stithcwith-us, President President Cleveland's “go slow” policy is severely trying Democratic patience. Itis not the ““what-are-we-here-for” Democras who are doing alJ the “kicking.” “There must bea change,” was the rallying ery of the Democratic party in the last cam- paign. It cannot come too quickly. We have never doubted that it would come in time. CIVIL SERVICE. The Administration will uphold the civil service humbug. It is the law. The Democratic party is pledged to “au ben- est civil service refurm.” Auditor Chen- nowith tackled the elephant and was ingloriously whipped. Owen Kellar, of Caldwell, Ohio, was certiljed by the Civil Service Commission fur appoint- went toa clerkship in the First Auditoi’s otfive. He was rejected on the ground that he wag an ‘offensive partizau,” aud was distasteful to Cungressman Warner and other Dengcrats of his neighborhood. The facts were brought to Secretary Mannivg’s attention, when he promptly disapproved the Auditors action, and caused Kellar to be assigned to duty. What the Anditor was) thinking about is beyond comprehension. The law is boldly denounced by Democratic Congressmen, who say emphatteally that they will never give a doilar for the Civil Service Commission. If a wajerity hold to this opinion the Coummission will collapse at the expiration of the preseut fiscal year. It is a most transpareut piece of lhum- buggery. The Keily Case. - It is pleasant to observe that the gov- ernment proposes to stand by Mr. Keiley, recently appointed minister te Austria aud whose appointment has provoked much comment. It has been at various times cabled from foreign news centres that he would not be received by the Austrian government aud while these annonncements have been unanthorized there seems reason for the belief that the appointment was not agreeable to the Austrian ceurt. Mr. Keiley will go to Vientna—is on his way there indeed—and should the Austrian government refuse to receive him, the United States will probably remain unrepresented at Vienna. The appointee is a capable man, and iu every Way other than that of capability fitted for the post to which be has been assigned. When he was appointed min- ister to Italy he was indorsed by the en- tire Congressional delegation of Virginia and was coufirmed by the Senate. ‘The Italian government, itis understood, made inqniry of this government whether or not Mr. Keiley had given utterance ina publie speech in 1871 to sentiments in opposition to the occupation of Rome by Victor Emmanuel. The former govern- mentafterward, itis said ,protestedagainst his appointment, and Mr, Keiley resign- ed his commission, The Austrian government, however, has no reasonable ground for complaint against the present appointment of Mr. Keilev. The sole objection raised to his reception has been that made by the Ital- ian juinister to Austria, who isa natural son of Victor Emmanuel, and was on the score of a personal desire not to be thrown in contact with Mr. Keiley. This is bard- ly of sufficient foree to exclude a gentle- man chosen to represent this country from a European court. The question has been raised whether or net it was un- complimentary to Austria to send Mr. Keiley to that empire after he had been rejected by Italy, and in reply the case of Mr. Kasson is cited to support the statement that no disrespect was offered. Mr. Kasson was nominated for the Span- ish mission and objected to by Spain but was afterwards sent to Austria and was received. Later, and until a recent date, he served at Berlin. No valid objection can be made to Mr. Keiley on this score. The attitude of the government in the matter is therefore to be commended. The dignity of the Republic must be ap- held, and will be npheld under Cleveland. ~ News and Observer. ED eae Fireworks Extraordinary. London Globe, June 9. The largest set piece of fireworks ever exhibited was witnessed at the Crystal Palace last pight by some thousands of spectators. ‘The new set piece was 600 feet long, and represented a supposed bombardment of Dover. On one side the Shakespeare Caff, the Admiral Pier, the batteries above, and the town below were very faithfully outlined in’ white fire, 10 ironclads, sketched in the same way, the sea being represented in green fire. The flashes indicating the fireing of the big gnus conlé be seen bursting from the portholes of the ships and there was also }an encounter between the two torpedo boats and a gun boat. — _—_ _—~-i por — Columbus County Times: Mr. Jobn man in the county.

New York Sun. “Are you troubled with a hobby?” asked a wearied looking physician of the reporter. , “T have hardly time to do justice to one,” replied the latter; “my pres- ent object is to discover in what light hobbies are regarded by the modern medical man.” “Ah, that is a different matter. A man witha hobby,” said a well known physician to the reporter, ‘is apt to be a nuisance; that is, he may be- ‘eome one if his hobby carries him ltoo far. Ihave treated some bid casea of hobby during the past twenty years.” " «Dy you mean that yon have treat- hobbies medicinally ?” “Not directly.: The hobby affection ‘ig often a symptom of some mental ‘trouble—mild or severe, as the case ed |may be—but it is not a disease itself.

Her friends seemed to fear that her reputation would suffer. ‘The lady did not know why she made the articles. Suddenly she changed her fad to fan painting, and all was well. “Some yearsago a lady came to me on account of mania she had for sameples of woven fabrics. She did not want to be cured of her hobby, for she did not seem to recognize it asa malady; but her desire to get these samples was accompanied by a feeling of great excitement, which she was slowly wearing her out. A long continued course of tonic seda- tives brought her around, A curious result of her bobby is seen in the fact that at present she always gocs to Philadelphia to do her shopping. She says she cannot witstand the hor- ritied looks of the dry goods clerks whom she had formerly worried for samples. The desire for these sam- ples was certaily uncontrollable when I first saw her, for she could not re- sist snipping a good-sized piece out of a handsome plush table cover in my office. One of her friends told me that she cut a piece of elaborate trimming from a wedding dress of her sister’s. Hobbies seemed to run in the family. Her brother was once arrested for complicity in a bank robbery, becausem few days before the crime he made desperate efforts to procure an automatic safe lock similar to that used in the bank, The man had a mania fur Jocks, and had spent a small fortune in securing them of various patterns. “T once knew a man who wished to keep continually informed as to the time of day. No consiJeration of the rules of politeness would prevent his taking out bis watch every few minutes, He was married four times, and conld tell to a second when each wile died. The man was fond of go- ing tothe theatre, and one night uf- jter the performance he astonished au iactor friend by telling him the ex- act time of his entrances throughout a five at play. But his chief amuse- ment was a horse race. He never bet and did not care which horse won but knew the exact instaut at which every horse made his miles and quar- ters. of this habit by going without a watch, but he lost so much time through looking into stores every block or two to see what time it was, that he had to keep on wearing his watch. “A very studious young man who This man tried to cure himself mun to finish his work, which’ he promised to do in gn hour. ‘FE learn- ed afterward that their married life went on smoothly enough, and the lady told me herself that her queer | bridegroom had turned out to be an excellent husband. ‘He has his cab- inet making attacks now and then,’ she said, ‘but I really think they do him good.’ This wise woman believ- ed, and rightly so, in my estimation, that the man’s harmless hobby had saved him from real evils.” ——~—-—_ ——_ Hunting a Dress Pocket. —_ And a Wife Learns a Unseful Lesson. Col. Jim Pettingill, who is a_ stout man and perspires a great -deal, went home to his wife the other even- ing and asked her where she kept the key of his valise, as he wished to pack up a few things and take the night train for Mobile to look after some im- portant business matters. Mrs. Pettingill told him to go up stairs to her room and he would find the key in the pocket of her black dress which was hanging on a_ nail behind the door. She further explained that it was her serge dress with a Watteau plait down the back;-and looped alon the front with small satin bows, an continued to give a geograpical descrip- tion of the garment until Pettingill got tired and suddenly turned on his heel and left her. Poor, foolish mortal, he did not know that it was easier, as the Scriptures, say for the eye of -a rich man to crawl through a camel than for him to find the pocket of his wife’s dress. Blinded by his own confidence, he took the dress off the nail, ahd that moment his suffering commenced. He took a short survey of the garment as he held it up in his left hand, in order to locate the position of the pocket. His eyes rested on a small opening and he thrust his hand intoit, only to find his fingers gliding through a kind of bottomless concern, and then sticking his arm into it up to the hilt, he observed that his hand was protruding from an aperture on the other side. This caused him to change the position of the dress, and he saw another opening and sounded its depts and ascertained that it was the same mysterious hole he had been in a moment before. This slightly annoyed him, and after throwing off his coat and vest and mop- ping the streams of prespiration from his face; he again went in search of the pocket. He saw a little slit on the right side, and a softer light came into his eyes. “This is it,” he murmured, and putting his hand into a shallow flounce commenced to grope around for the holstery. ‘I gavé the wife. a sedative |home he brought his valise key with and recommended her to allow the him, and it was chained toa ber.o pig iron.

He, after dancing on her whims for three hours, beeame disaf- fected and married another girl. The tact did not discuncert my patient in the least, but her friends became alarmed and brought her to me. “The desire to work at some oceu- pation diametrically opposed to the hobbyist’s condition in life is so fre- quent a form of mild monomania as to suggest’ the idea that the impulse is governed by some wholesome nat- ural law. I had a wealthy patient a year ago who had a habit of dressing himself in very old clothing, putting ashovel on his shoulder, and hiring himself out to do almost anything he could find in the way of digging. He- told me he always chose a cross and exacting boss, ‘I enjoy having my foreman pitch into me,’ he said, ‘and aded in them, and had no especial ac- quaintance with their mysteries, but ‘had, every three or four months, a uming desire to purchase some His father was on the point of disinheriting him on account of this weakness, but the young man’s habits were so good that the old gentleman believed at last that his boy was suffering from a mo- nomania of obscure origin. The fancy was attributed to a dream in which the young man imbibed the notion that some curious quality in woman’s apparel was to bring him good fortune. His mother remem- bered that he commenced when very young to hide away some of her cloth- ing. ‘The fancy gradually died out and the young fellow made an envia- ble reputation as a lawyer. “T had a curious case last year of a minister who was afflicted with au imperious passion for clog dancing. He hada queer impulse to dance jigs, even on the most solemn occas- i His only explanation—which lons, he gave me with tears in his eyes— was that ‘it seemed to relieve his mind,’ His brother, who was a soime- what rough Connecticutt farmer, beg- delight in feeling obliged to work | hard.

If, however, he shows the proper amount of brutality I will remain with him fer three or four! days, and leave feeling very much re- freshed in mind and body.’ This | queer individual was blown up one day while blasting’ rocks, and, al- though hedid not turn out to be seriously injured, concluded to seck my advice. I prescribed a course of vigorous horseback riding, on a trot- ter, and the man has given up his vagaries. The hobby for doing un- necessary work takes various forms, and occurs at all ages of life. I once kuew a child who commenced to sweep and dust when she could hard- ly walk, A wealthy gentleman up town labors furiously for weeks at a time making musical instruments. He can turn out a fiddle capable of producing the most monstrous squeaks known to mankind. I was once con- sulted in the case of a rich man who had a pet idea concerning the con- Structiou of barrels. It sounded queer to hear him driving down hoops at midnight in his splendidly furnished house, _ “The origin of these eccentricities is Supposed to lie in heredity. I have often found, however, that it depends upon some excess in mental or mus- cular activity. Oue of the most cur.ous of my cases was thatef an elderly maiden lady from Boston, who occupied herself constantly in mak- Ing sets of baby clothes. She could have bo pessible use fur them, bat i.six@| upon keeping the articles, though she was otherwise very gener- ous in giving things away. The ged me to give his brother ‘something streng for it, or he would lose his job” ‘Ouly last night,’ he explained ‘my reverend brother excused him. self from the company at his house, and five minutes later I found him down stairs in a corner of the room, looking mighty solemn, and putting in a little private jig on the dead quiet.” It appeared also that a depu- tation of his parishioners had waited on him te engire into the habit. I learned that on~ this eccasion the old gentleman took down his bible and read from IJ, Samuel, vi., 14, ‘And David danced betore the Lord with all his might.? This silenced the deputation, but the good old) man felt the need of advice. I recom- mended hint to saw wood and adopt a milk diet. Iu time he was cnred. “Of all the hobbies, that for tink- ering with edge tools seems to be the most powerful. My door bell was rung violently at 2 o'clock one morn- ing, and I was conducted in a car- riage to a hotel iu this city known as a pepular hostelry for honeymoons. A distracted bride awaited my com- ing and conducted me to their apart- ment. Here I found the husband deeply interested in mending a piece of furniture he had broken by acci- dent in the afternoov. He had hired a lot of carpenters’ tools and a glue- pot, and, utterly ignoring the tears, persuasions and treats of his anxious wife, he was enjoying the exercise of his hobby in ful! measure. The land- lord refused to remonstrate with the man so long as he refrained from hammering; he knew the gentleman asa liberal customer, and had, no doubt, already settled in his ~ mind the price he would charge for his ‘glued up’ carpet and damaged up- x 2 eet Nal ts Sis eal iiss through his clenched teeth. He deter- mined to find the pocket or die with his face to the foe, and the next minute he commenced stabbing the dress with both hands, and hitting it strait blows from the shoulder, and dancing around it just as if he was engaged in a rough and tumble fight. He glanced at the clock and saw that the train would start in forty minutes, and once more he jumped for the dress with a low yell that indicated plainly that he was mad enough to match himself against a hornet. He jammed his head into the folds of the dress and commenced digging with both hands and the air got full of satin bows, pieces of Wat- teau plaits and smothered growls. Then he got down on _ his hands and knees and chased the dress around the room, and under the bed, and over the chairs, until he had to gasp for breath. While seated ina chair resting himself, he glared at the crumpled dress lying on the floor, and the idea occurred to him that the only way to keep the pocket from dodging him was to put the dress on. Hedid so and then renewed his search, but his hands would slide into loops, furbelows. flounces, and every- thing else except the much-desired pocket. This was more than he could stand, and he determined to take off the dress and tear it to pieces, and thus discover the dweling place of the pocket He pulled the dress up over is head as if he was divesting himself of a shirt, but it got caught in his sus- pender buckles and wrapped itself around bis neck in a peculiar way, and he stooped forward and tugged at it with all his strength, but it would not give an inch and appeared to tighten its grip around his head. It was hot and he was smothering in its folds, and in order to release himself he beat the air with both hands and danced up and down in one spot until the window panes rattled. The dress, however, new that it was getting the best of him and would not Jet him go, and then Pettingill in his rage made a blind dash and butted the bowl and pitcher off the washstand, and nie the rocking chair, which pounded him severely in the ribs. The next dive he made the bureau suffered, and cologne bottles and powder boxes, mingling with tin bath tub and bird cage, rolled over the floor. Mrs. Pettingill heard the crash, and hastening up stairs discovered her hus- band lying on the floor on his back, with his arms and head bound up in her dress, and kicking both his legs in the air, and using profanity of 140 de- grees in the shade. she pulled him out of the dress, and he sat up on the floor and gazed at her in a dazed way, and rubbed his ribs with one anil and wiped the blood off his nose with the other. There was a look in his _ eyes which told Mrs. Pettingill that it was not the time to talk to her husband, so she merely picked up the dress, and without any trouble at all stuck her hand in a certain place and took out the key, which she handed him without saying a word. It was too late to catch tke train, so Pettingill. quietly bathed his bruised head, and then went to a locksmith’s skep,and when le came that State, in which several ladians were killed by cowboys and a settler named Genther was killed by the In- dians.

We believe that ’ gressiveness in North Carolina as there 18 in Tennessee. The fine expositions at Boston, at New Orleans, at Atlanta, and at Raleigh showed what the “Old North State” could do when she had a | mind to put forth her best efforts. In another article we refer to the want of | progress in a portron of the State ow- ‘mg to unfotunate and distructive me- thods pursued by the farmers. But in | two-thirds of the counties there is pro- | gress, and in the State at large there is, ;on the whole, as compared with the production of ten or fifteen years ago, eat North Carolina is eminently conser- ‘vative. But the Nashville Amerecan’s corresponden is much mistaken if he ‘thinks that North Carolina is still jasleep. She awoke in 1861, from her “Rip Van Winkle” nap of twenty years, when the stern alarums of war called her men from the mountains and the plains. With a voting white popula- tion of but 112,500 in 1860, she sent more than 121,000* men to the armies of the Southern Confederacy exclusive of her “Home Guard.” North Carolina has never been asleep since, although “whitling” in 1885 some times defame her as they did in Judge Gaston’s day. North Carolina is steadily pushing to the front. But two of the Southern States pay any more for education than North Carolina pays.” * How about those figures? The Ros- ter of North Carolina troops only gives us a total of 104 thousand and a frac- tion of a thousand. The writer has been under the impression that North Carona furnished 125,000 soldiers to the Confederate service. If the Star can give the exact figures, it will prove an interesting item. The Star says 121,000. Should the 3,156 North Car- olinians who joined the Union army be added to the Star’s figure to show the total?—[ Ep.

Within the last few years the need of a high-toned monthly publication that was “of the South, from the South and for the South,” has been apparent. Re- alizing this fact, a company has been formed in Atlanta, and about the 15th of August next will appear a new monthly maga’zine, to be called “DrxrE: Tts Resources, its Development.” The periodical will be ably edited, and in its list of special contributors will be found the names of nearly all the Southern writers now living. The table of con- tents for the first number is especially attractive. Mr. Donald Aylesworth Baine will write about the “Moonshin- ers of North Carolina and Georgia,” and his article will be finely illustrated. Mrs. Elizabeth Winslow Allerdice, the the Virginia authoress, has a poem, “Our Land of Dixie,” and Mr. Chas. H. Wells contributes the first of a series of articles on the “Forests of the South.” There will be a fine portrait of Col. A. B. Andrews (president of the Western North Carolina Railroad and assistant president of the Richmond and Dan- ville) with an interesting sketch of his life and career, by Mr. 5. Badger, of Raleigh. Samuel Nobles, Founder of Anniston, Ala., Will write on the Tanff Question from a Southern capitalist’s standpoint. Several funny cartoons, by C. A. David, the South Carolina canca- turist, will add to the interest of the journal. There will be ably edited de- partments, giving a resume of -all mat- ters pertaining to Southern progress, land development. The magazine will be elegantly illustrated. No sample cop- ies sent free! The subscription price has been fixed at €2 a year; single copies, 20 cents. All orders and communica- tions should be addressed to “The Dixie Company, Constitution Building, At- lanta, Ga.” Inasmuch as the magazine is gotten up entirely as a Southern en- terprise, it deserves the encouragement of all who can afford to subscribe. Or- ders should be sent in at once as the first edition of 25.000 will prbably be exhausted early.

B. a a Draining State Lands. Yesterday afternoon the State board of education met. There were present all the State officers save the superin- tendent of public instruction, who is absent. Gen. W. G. Lewis, engineer to the board, was present. The proposi- tion of Mr. B. L. Perry, to drain 11,000 acres of land in Carteret county, known as the “open lands,” (the property of the board) ‘one half for the other” was accepted. The contract is to be completed by Mr. Perry in five years. There are 80,000 acres in this tract. The 11,000 are to be drained experi- mentally. The lands, says Mr. Perry, are adopted to the cultivation of rice, corn, patatoes, &c., after thorough drain- age. The board authorixed the construc- tion of a road from Currier’s_ bridge to Hussey’s store, in Duplin and Pender counties, a distance of about eight miles. Gen. W. G. Lewis was instructed to at once begin the consivuction of this road. — News—Observer. ae Tae Lyncuine Business.—Since the Ist of January, according to the Chica- go Tyibune, the persons lynched in the various parts of the country number ninety-nine, of whome ninety-six were males and three females, fifty-eight white and forty-one colored. In detail the States are represented as follows: Alabama 3, Arkansas 1, Florida 2, Geor- gia 2, lowa 5, Kansas 3, Kentucky 3, Maryland 1, Mississippi 6, Missouri 6, North Carolina 2, Nebraska 2, Ohio 3, Oregon 2, Tennessee 7, Texas 31, Vir- ginia 2, West Virginia 2. In the ter- ritories: New Mexico 2, Indian Tern- tory 7, Dakota 1, Montana 3, Washing- ton 1. It may also be of interest to know that of these 09 depirted citizens 44 were lynched for marder, 31 for horse and cattle stealing, 14 for rape, 3 for incendiarism, 2 for train wreck- ing, 2 for murderous assault, 2 for un- known reasons and 1 for burglary. These returns, it will be observed, are for six months, and their significance will be apparent when it is stated that the number of lynchings last year was 193, which was an increase of nearly 100 over 1883.—Home-Democrat. —_\_ ~- a Se Rigut.—Augustus W. Graham, Esyq., of Hillsboro, who was tendered a Law Clerkship in the Internal Revenue Bu- reau at Washington, declined it, pre- ferring to remain at home and work on asmaller income, but without a Govern- ment boss. He can go to the Legisla- ture whenever he wants to do s0, live among his friends and acquaintances in peace and happiness, without any to molest or make him afraid. Mr. Gar- ham is wise in declining to go to Wash- mgton to accept office, even when it 1s tendered by Senator Ransom without golieitation. We mentioned last week that probably Mr. Graham, would de- cline the appointment. He is right and sensible, although hundreds of other men would gladly agcept the place.— Home—Democrat. ~ , ~~ ——P Train Rockina.+A ‘serious cage of traing rocking occurred near Third Creek, on the Western N.

Three rocks struck the train, one of which embed- ed itself ‘in the woodwork around a window under which a passenger lay sleeping, the second struck the engine eab and the third struck the sleeper. The recks were apparently thrown with great force, either one with suf- ficient force to have killed a person, On the night previous to this, the Western North Carolina train was rocked near. Glen.

Stanton was ltis name, He was Secretary of War under Republican rule, aud such was his those to whom the wealth of her ua-/ lack of good sense and knowledue of men that he was the cause of death of at least 50,000 men more than need be killed daring the war. He was also the brutal, cowardly murderer of Mrs. Surratt, a woman againstwhom there was not ene particle of truthful evidence that could in any manner connect her with ‘the death of Lincoln. To go Beast Butler one better, anc thus to rise one degree higher in in- famy, Stanton engineered the trial, and ordered the murder of this most excellent Christian Catholic lady. She was hung, to the enternal dis- grace of the administratien that per- mitted it to be ever said. Then Edwin M. Stanton caw sights that made his midnight hours torture unendurable! Night after night did the spirit of Mrs. Surratt, pale and with agonized features appear, at his bedside, and point to the rope marks on her neck. In vain did) Elward M. Stanton implore her to be gene and appear no more. In vain did he tarn his face to the wall, and with his hauds clinched over his head, wait and wait for her to depart. But she went not till he would look out, and witha ery of anguish bury his cowardly face again and again, No matter where he slept, she came to his bedside and pointed to the rope marks on her throat. He not only thonght he saw her, but he did she her, and his white livered soul grew more blanched with fear born of cowardice, as she was sent by the God of Ju-tice to appear in judgment against him. Previous to the war, when Edwin M. Stanton was a worker with Den ocrats, though never a Democrat at heart, one of his political friends and associates was Hon. Gideon J. Tuck- er, at one time Secretary of the State of New York, and ever a trathfal, fearless gentleman, living to this day, and still a man of commanding tn- fluence. Not long before his death, Edwin M. Stanton said to Judge Tucker aforesaid: “That woman Mrs. Surratt is driv- ing me insane! Night after night I see her, day after day at odd times I feel ber touch on my shoulder— upon my throat, I cannot escape her!” “Imagination,” replied Judge Tuck - er. “Not a bit of it! I see ler! I feel her, She is my nemesis! She comes to mein presence palpable, as one who is in no hurry. She knows that I mordered her to satisfy public clamor, when I had full power to save her. Sie points to her throat and she touches mine with a motion that means the knife! I shall have no more rest on earth, God has giv- en my soul to her, and as I had no mercy for her, it is ordered that she shall have none for mine. I tell you Judge my life is in hell, and there is but way out of it—the knife. It was not long after this interview that Edwin M. Stanton, the once im perious, heartless Secretary of War, deliberate, cowardly murderer of Mrs Surratt, cut his throat and let his ear like spirit out to do the bidding of a woman, the hem of whose garment he was not fit to toach. Till his great crime be atoned for, he will not es- cape her lash, Edwin M. Staton died by his own hand. He cat his throat and bled to death as does a hog when stuck. Thus he died ina proper manner. Well were they who knew the. facts of his suicide paid to kee» tre secret. They let soiled and clean linen absorb the blood that ran from his throat cut. The rags were carried away from the house. His throat was bound up and when his body was prepared for burial, the throat was wuffled tothe chin, Cloths were wrap- ped tight about it to help keep the secret. No such burial was given him as is given tu honest public servants, No throngs walked about his remains lying in state. A hog he lived. As a hog he dicd, except that hogs do not cut their own throats nor have their blood by spirit hands thrown up in. their faces as went the spatters up into his face in away the attendants could not un- derstand.—Pomeroy’s U.

Oxide of manganese is introduc- ed to correct the green coloration of lass by giving ita purple tint. In ger proportions it produces various colored glasses, . Glass at a white heat becomes almost as liquid as water, but when cold is quite rigid; however, at a cherry red heat it is plastic and malleable. This proper- ty of glass enables the blower to work with facility. At the cherry red heat it is plastic enough to be blown by means of pipe and shaped with tools. When it becomes rigid by cooling it may be reheated and worked until the proper shape is obtained. (Glass rolled on a metallic table is made into plates; by blowing it into a mold all kinds of bottles are made. By pressing the plas- tic mass by means of a press, plunger and metallic mold, glass can be shaped into all kinds of wares. By means of the glass blower’s lamp this material can be drawn into very fine threads and rolled up like ordinary thread. Glass can also be reduced to almost impalpa- ble threads, as fine as filaments of cot- ton, by means of a steam or air blast acting upon a very fine stream of mol- ten glass. Glass is a bad conductor of -heat, and when heated and suddenly cooled flies to pieces. While being worked it cools very rapidly by the action of ambient air. It becomes necessary to correct this defect by annealing. This opera- tion consists in carrying the glass ob- | jects when still hot toa special furnace, | where they are reheated to a low cher-' ry red, and gradually-and slowly cooled. | This operation, when improperly carri- ed out, exposes the glass to break sud- denly. An unpleasant experience of this nature often takes place in house- holds when a lamp chimney, without any apparent cause, suddenly flies to | pieces. Glass is also a bad conductor of electricity. Nature has provided this country with an abundance of sand suitable for glass making.—American Bottler. ————— +s CarkE oF THE Feet.—Many are careless in the leeping of the feet. If they wash them once a week they are doing well, They do not consid- er that the largest pores are located in the bottum of the foot, and that the most offeusive matter is di-charged through the pores. They wear stock- ings fron the beginning to the end of the week without change, which be- come perfectly saturated with offen- sive matter. Ill health is generated | by such treatment of the feet. The pores are not repellants but absorb- ants, and this fetid matter, to a great- er less extent, is taken back into the system. The fect should be washed every day with pare water only, as wellas the armpits, from which an offensive odor is also emitted, unless daily ablution is practiced. Steck- ings should not be wern more than a day or two atatime. They may be worn one day, and then aired and sun- ned and wora another day if necessa- ry,— Ea. ———_ + “Bar”?

MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE YADKIN RAILROAD. Pursuant to call, the meeting of the Directors of the Yadkin Railroed was held in the office of J. W. Mauney, ., in this city, on the 15th of July, A. D. 1885. On call of the roll the following Directors were found to be present: P. N. Heilig, Salisbury, F Mauney, Gold Hill, §' J. Pemberton, Albe- marle, V. Mauney, Milledgeville, S. R. Harrison and A. H. Boyden, Salisbury. A majority of the Directors being found present, the board proceeded to business. On motion of A. H. Boyden, S. H. Wiley was elected a director to fill the vacancy of M. L. Waddell, dec’d. ; On motion of S. J. Pembertom it was ayreed to call an annual meeting of the Stockholders, for Wednesday, the 19th day of August, 1885 to be held in the Courthouse in Salisbury, N. ©. After the discussion of some impor- tant matters in connection with the road, not yet to be promulgated, the meeting, on motion adjourned, P. N. Herzia, Pres’t. A. H. Boynen, Sec’ty. Remember the annual meeting of Stockholders in August, and come! Now is the time to work! NOTICE! All Stockholders who have paid in the 5 per cent. of stock are earnestly requested to present the recetpts for the same to Mr. A. H. Boyden, Secty., before the August meeting. This 1s important. Stockholders at a distance are requested to communicate with the Secretary. Anson, Stanly, Montgomery and lower Rowan were represented here at the railroad meeting. They all evince the most lively and earnest interest in the present scheme for the building of the road. S. J. Pemberton, A. C. Free- man, V. Mauney, 3. H. Hearne, D. N. Bennett, and other gentlemen ceeply interested in the success of the new scheme were here and did their part. Mr. A. H. Boyden, always active when the interest of Rowan and Salisbury are at stake, was on hand, rendering valuable service. Now let the people of the county and town take hold and uphold the hands of those who are wuling to work. The election of Mr. S. H. Wiley as a Director was a happ stroke, and will be productive of good. The ball is fairly started, keep it going! Below is given words of encourage- ment, and a statement of plain facts as regards Salisbury and this railroad scheme. Thanks are due the Cutizen for the manifest interst taken in the matter. The construction of the line would benefit Asheville and all other points along the Western road. The readers of the WatcHman will profit by a perusal. Aa Old Scheme Taking New Life. Weare glad to see through the Salis- bary Watchman that a railroad project which has slept many years has been re- called to memory and put again in the line of probabilities. The Cheraw road, chartered several years ago to connect those points by way of Wadesboro, was undertaken from its Southern terminuns, and is completed to Wadefboro where it stops. Nouiug was done at the Northern eud. Why this is su it would be difficult to explain; for the route is a very practica- ble one, runs into aud through a splendid agricultural country, would pass throagh probably the richest gold belt in this State, and above and below Salisbary is contiguous to a water power, that is won- ful in its force and supply. Why Salis- bury has never pushed her advantages is a surprise to those who know her com- manding position, aud the former enter- prise of her people. Longtime ago she was the receiving-and distributing point tor the Yadkin Valley; not only of that, bat that of the Catawba and of all the Piedwont county. Her merchants were wholesale priuees. The caravans of wag ons whiteped the piney woods of Cum- berland with their long lines, freighted with goods for distribution through the intenor or carrying down the rich pro- ductaof the West. And long time ago Salisbury was the richest and the most prosperous town in Western North Carolina. She was not ignorant of the advantages of railroads; and as far back as 1835) united with Fayetteville in the survey of alive Letween those two points. The energy that atibulated such pro- ject was spasmodic; the scheme was abandoned; aud Loth towns were severely punished for their indolence; Fayette- ville to be stripped and drained and almost extinguised, until recent chauges promise to restore her prominénce and turn again the tide of prosperity; Salis- bary; to feel the influence of railreads, but only asa way station; kept alive, bat shorn of her commauding power; fairly prosperous, but stationary; not advancing, and seeing towns not in ex- istence inher old days of prosperity, come inuto being and surpassing ber in wealth and population. But as Fayetteville has revived, so may Salisbury advance to the position she nev er wholly lost. It is a secondary railroad centre of great importance. Situated on the North Carolina toad, it is also the easteru terminus of the Wastern North Carolina line. The line now projected would give a line extendjmg nearly paral- Jel with the Yadkin (or Pedee) river, south throagh the counties of Rowan, Stanly and Avson, passing threagh the finest p beltiu the State, and through oldest and finest cotton regiou in <Nerth Carolina, parallel with water pow- or that has uo equal iu the State, and throagh that wonderful gold zoue embra- cing Rowan, Moutgomery and Stanly; couneeting at Wadesboro with the part al completed to Cheraw, and giv- tag oh evnnection with Charleston by cay of Florenes and the Northeastern fond. Tarning north from Salisbury, the line would traverse the upper valley of the Yadkin, unequalled in beanty avd in fefrility, and make tributary to its laziness the counties af Davie, Yadkin, Sarry, Cahlwell, Wilkes, Alexander and others, comprising a very garden spot. Whar it menus to Sulishary is rkat it mahes jt portant extent a railroad centre, which means, in the words of the Watehman: “To the metchant the opening of & territory and bringing to this mar- ket teade that now most naturally gues ets . It means an increase to every branch of business, and to every trade, it meansnew capital, new men, new energy; it means everything to the inter- ests aud prosperity of the town. Let the citizens see te it that nothing is left au- dove on their part to secure this road. Let them remember that they mast de this for themsel ves—no one ean do it for them.” This is an appeal that sheuld stimalate action. We hope tu see our sister town brought upto that high standard to which nature seemed to have destiued it. —Asherille Citizen. ee The Stanly Observer has this to say on the same subject : Aud now, don’t it begin to to look like there was something in the wind favora- vble toa Stanly tailread? Push on the work, ye men of enterprise for the citi- zens of Stanly have been a “long saffer- ing people” on this matter of a railroad. Now, we shall see which will take the lead, Coucord or Salisbury. There is no question that the proper route fur a rail- road through Stanly county is from Wadesboro, via Ansonville, via Norweod via Albemarle to Salisbury; aud its com- pletion will do much to eubance the waterial prosperity of Salisbury. How- ever, we have po objection to Col. Means’ line from Coneord to Albemarle; what we desire is a railroad, and if we cau’t get it from one quarter will accept it from another. oa oor or Smaty Inpustries.—It is the aggre- gate of small industries, and not gigan- tic schemes, that build up trade and make towns grow into cities. It is therefore necessary for a community which desires to expand its limits and increase in wealth and population to husband and encourage all its minor enterprises and induce others to join them. Salisbury has exceedingly few of these small industries in her midst, and this fact may be charged as a hin- drance to her more rapid development. All must admit that the mercantile force is amply’ sufficient for the de- mands of the town and surrounding country. Were Main street extended to the Yadkin on the one side and to China Grove on the other, and lined with well filled stores, it would not im- prove the situation; because that would not effect the necessary conditions of growth. Long lines of shelves, filled with gaudy goods, or the massing of commercial commodities alone does not make either trade or town. There must be a reasonable and increasing demand before there can be rational increase. First create demand, which is an ele- mentary condition of trade, and in- crease of business will result quickly. The town has a large scheme—the Yadkin Ratlroad—which will be. when built, the grand stepping stone to the town’s new life. Yet this need not ex- clude the encouraging, starting and maintaining of many small industries in and around the town. There is am- ple room for work in any branch of trade. The climate is good, water pure and living cheap ; with these conditions what is to prevent any industry from thriving? What can we make? Any- thing! For instance, take the woods— there are all kinds in abundance— which may be made into chairs, buck- ets, tubs, barrels, shingles, spokes, staves, helves, wagons, all kinds of agricultural machinery, sash, doors, blinds, furni- ture and a host of other things, large and small. There is money to be made in the manufacture of any of them. Start hat and shoe factories, canning factories—there is fruit enough thrown away here each season to keep a large factory busy—but the list will extend until it includes every article used in our domestic relations, and there is no need for further enumeration, When these and kindred industries grow up and thrive in our midst, then is estah- lished the conditions; the underlying foundation upon which a superstruc- ture of elaborate design and grace pro- portions may be safely built. —_ rr re A Correspondent of the New York Sun, writing from Ecuador, South America, says: The population is about one million, and the nation owes twen- ty gold dollars per capita for every one of the inhabtants, which consist of 300,000 of Spanish descent, 100,000 foreigners, and about 600,000 native Indians or persons of mixed blood. The commerce of the country is entirely in the hands of the foreigners, and they have a mortgage upon the entire coun- try. The Indians are the only people who work. a Spaniards are the ar- istocracy, poor but pround, very proud. The mitted ae furnishes the mechan. ics and artisans, while the Indians till the soil and do the drudgery. When it shall come to pass that the mo system as now practiced in North Carolina and other Southern States accomplishes a transfer of the lands into the hands of capitalists, then shall our once independent farmers fall to the level of the Indians of Ecuador; become practically the slaves of those who own the land. ESCAPE OF RAY AND ANDER- SON. The story of these brutal murderers in their acts of violence in Mitchell county is yet fresh in the minds of the ublic. They were under sentence to hanged, and were confined in the Asheville prison for safe keeping until justice should be meeted out to them. All along there has been a feeling that something would happen to prevent the just execution of the law. The should be declared out-laws and hun to oe ae ra po land. onday night they made their es- oe of the escape is thus ated by the Asheville Citizen: About 8 :30 last night Sheriff Rich en- tered the cell, which is opened by a com- bination lock, the inner doors to the cells leading upon an opening veatibaie, being lo accitain aud fo a very ime jnation box. worked by a leaver from the same com- Jailer Henderson remain- éd un the outside of the door, being arm- | ed, and sheriff. Rich, a8 is his custom, leaving his pistel with him} the door was Closed and the outside belts sprang into position but net secured, while Hender- son held his hands on the levers which opened the cell doors. No sooner had he sprang this lever and the inner doors opened than Calloway, York and Slader sprang apon Rich and placed a pistol to his face, Ray at the same moment presenting a pistol through the bars to Henderson's breast, with the statement that if he moved he would kill him. Auderson then reached his band through the bars, sprung back the bolts, which had pot been fast- ened, and the cage door was opened. Sheriff Rich aud Jailer Henderson were then secarely bound and gagged by the desperate men, the pistols being held to their heads iv the mean time. Anderson then came down to the first fluor with the lamp and keys of the Jailer, and going to the door which leads to the Jailer’s room aud affords an outlet, and bhauded the keys to through toa little son of the Jail- er, and told him to epen the door at once. The little fellow ran to his mother, and she came to the door; seeing Anderson at the door, she refused to open it, when he told her if she did not open the door at once he would kill her busband. With a heroism to be commended, Mrs. Hen- derson slammed to the solid iron door, and running to a window gave an alarm which was heard outside. In the mean time Anderson, finding himself thwarted at the door, went to the East window of the jail and waved his lantern, setting it in the window, and then securing a second landtern, went to a window on the west of the building where he found a dozen or more confed- erates on the outside; an axe and two _pistols were handed iu to him, and others of the prisoners having joined him, a vig- orous attack was made upon the brick wall of the jail with tho axe, another be- ing used at the same point by parties out- side, and in about two minutes an apper- ture had been made sufficiently large tu admit of egress. Ray was the first to leave the apperture, which he did with a pistol in each hand. He was followed by Anderson, Calloway, Sluder and York, all armed, and joining their confederates outside, they made good.their escape from town, firing upon one or two parties with whem they met. Within a few minutes Messrs. Will and Gus Reynolds and Col. Williamson made their way into the jail and released Mes- srs. Rich and Henderson, who had been bound and gagged, and Sheriff Rich at once called into requisition the aid of the Asheville Light Lufantry and pursuit was made in different directions. At 12 o’clock to-day Capt. Moseley returned after a fu- tile search thus far leaving Sheriff Rich still in pursuit with an armed posse, and it is hoped that the Sheriff may be fortu- nate enough to come up with them. Telegrams have been sent out in every direction of the escape, Gov, Scales had been communicated with, and has offered a reward of $400 each for the capture of Ray and Anderzon. . In connection with the affair, we will state that three brothers of Ray—two of them living in Texas—were in town Monday evening, and that a_ half-dozen or more men form Mitchell county came into town Monday evening. The Raleigh News-Observer thus re- lates the story of their murderous deeds : Ed. Ray and W. A. Anderson, who escaped are among the best known crimi- nals in the State. They were concerned in the “mica mine murdes,” in Mitchell county, in February, 1884. Ray is a man of desperate character, who is reported to have killed seven men since the war ended. He was a revenue officer and in each case succeeded in having the case brought before the federal courts, where on the plea that the killing was done in the discharge of his duty, he secured an acquittal. On a Sunday in February, 1882, he went with W. A. Anderson toa mica mine near Flat Rock, Mitchell conn- ty, where several men were at work. Ray claimed the ownership of the mine and ordered the men out of it while they were working it. They refused to go. A quarrel ensued and Ray and Anderson began shooting down iv the mine. Ray killed one Miller and a man named Bur- leson, and badly wounded Burleson’s brother. Anderson shot and killed a n.an named Horton, Ray and Anderson fled and made their escape. The murders created the most intense indignation iv all the western part ofthe State. Several hundred armed citizens sconred the moun- tains of Mitchell county. Finally the pursnit became so hot that Ray and An- derson surrendered to the officers of the law. They were kept in jail at Bakers- ville for a time, and 80 high was the feel- ing against them and so many the threats of rescue that Gov. Jarvis was about to send troops there to guard the jail. Final- ly both wen were taken to Asheville jail. There they were several times guarded by troops. Once pistols were found in their possession. They wero tried at Lenoir. Anderson was sentenced to be hanged, bat took an appeal. Last De- eember, at Lenoir, Ray was sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment in the peni- teutiary. Both these murderers took ap- peals to the supreme court. Singe taking these, last spring, the jail was guarded perhaps ten nights by a detachment of the Asheville Light Iufantry. Both men have influential relatives in Mitebel) county, the most lawless inthe State, and some of their friends ina measure defied the antharjtigs by their assertions that they would get the wen ont of juil. There wae always ‘tore or less fear that they would escape, theagh the jailor and sheriff of Buncombe appeared to copsid- or itimpassijie ~~~ : | oe PO ~s e - IN THE MORNING is the bist time to take Shriner's indigo Wermifu;-e.

Whit- ney, has given his opinion io the case of the Dolphin, the dispatch boat bailt by John Roach, vu-which the Secretary re- fused to endorse furthers payments ov the ground that she did not come up te the requirements of the contract, lacking in speed vn trial, and being faulty in con- struction. Rvuach maintained that he had done the work in aecordance with the stipulation, and instructions uf the navy board, if there was any fault in constrac- tion it was theirs and not his, and that he was entitled to the amouut unpaid for which the contract called. Hence the re- ference of the matter to the Attorney General, who not. only sustains the See- retary in his refusal to accept the vessel, but pronounces the contract under which she was built veid, holding that John Koaeh is vot only not entitled to more money, buat that he is respousible to the government for the money already paid. This is pretty roagh on John Roach, who was an especial friend of the former Sec- retary of War, Chandler, and being a good loyal Repablican, and in high favor with the men who run the machine, never had any trouble getting what he asked for his work, and having any kind of tubs received as worthy sea going ships. John has evidently come to the conclu- siov that there has been a change of ad- ministration at Washington, and an ad- mivistration that moves entirely ‘too sloy” in the matter of accepting worth- less ships and paying for them.—Char, Obs. ———_—_+~~<>- Assessing Railway Franchises.

There are few imperfect stands reported. The temperature and rainfall have favor- ed the growth and fruiting has commenc- ed in the Gulf States. Local droughts are very rare aud the moisture is general- ly sufficient from Virginia to Texas. It is somewhat in excess in the lowlands, interfering with the cultivation and stim ulating the growth of grass. The general average of condition has advaneced from 92 in June to 96. It has not been exceed- edin July since 1830. This will insure the barrin drawbacks sv likely to come in Jater iv the summer. The average condition of the crop by States is as ful- lows: Virginia 98, North Carolina 93, South Carolina 96, Georgia 97, Florida 95, Ala- bama 92, Mississippi 97, Louisiana 100, Texas 92, Arkansas 96, Tennessee 97. States east of the Mississippi stand as in June, except Georgia aud Florida, which have advanced two points. All others give higher averages. The caterpillar is reported in Baker, Brooks and Dougher- ty, Georgia; in Jackson and Madison, Florida; in Montgomery and Elmore, Al- abama, in Cameron, Louisiana; and in Van Z andt, Texas. The new web worm has been very abundant in Texas. The ball worm moth has been observed in Titus, Texas. The month has been favor- able to the development of winter wheat. Slight improvement is indicated, which advances the general aveiage between two and three points, or from 62 to near- ly 65. ———- +o — (Hussey’s Correspondence of the Patriot.) Col.

ENN —-—-90 At its last meeting the Board of County Commissioners, in accordance with a recent act of the Legislature, appointed a “Board of Stream Commis- sioners’ for Second Creek, compased of the following gentlemen: J. M. Harri- son, J. F. Stansill, H.S. Petrea, W. L. Kistler and W. C. Lyerly. The duty of the new Commissioners will be to supervise the draining of Second Creek and its tributary bottom lands which lie in Steele township. Oo Tue CuTHBERT RaspBERRY — Dr. Dorset of this place, an amateur gar- dener, sells plants of this superior berry, and the lovers of fine fruits should put themselves on record with him at once, for a dozen or two plants at least, for a tral. We have test- ed them in our own garden, and give this notice, not for Dr. Dor- set’s pecuniary benefit directly, but for the penefit of the public. A more delightful fruit dessert was never brought tothe table. They make, also, a splendid jam, and an_ unsurpassed syrup. They ripen late but are very prolific and last a long time, and are delightful as long as they last. — Second Creek and its tributaries, in Steele township, are to be drained. The people living on this creek have long desired this, and all rejoice that the time has come for the fulfillment of their hopes. Hon. L. 5. Overman se- cured a special act in the last Legisla- ture favoring their cheme. It will be productive of much good, both as re- gards the general health of the section and the protection of the crops during freshets. The people living below had better continue the good work to the junction with South River. Were all our creeks straightened, deepened and cleaned out, there would be wonderful improvement. Lands now idle could be made productive; new lands cleared, &e., but the greatest blessing would be in the health of the county. oO Fatmer’s Mgetine.—On the 21st of August, at 10 o’clock, a. m., there will be a public meeting at Ebernezer church, in Steele Township, under the auspices of the “Blackmer Farmer's Club.” Dr. Jas. G. Ramsay, Theo. F. Kluttz Esq., and other instructive talk- ers have consented to be_ present and address the farmers. Mr. J ohn Harkey, resident of the club, has the manage- ment of the affair, and says that it is to be adistinctive meeting for the dis- cussion of subjects appertaining to the best interests of the firmer. e prom- ises all a good time, and especially in- vites the ladies to be present; and ex- plains “that they will want something to eat and that provisions would be scarce without the ladies.” The ladies will make a note and respond, as they always do, with bountiful baskets. _—_——— Oe - Dovsie DeserTIon.—Society in Mor- gan Township is in great excitement over the desertion of the male head of one family with the female head of another. ‘The facts are as follows: On last Saturday. Mr. Hoffner. the father of young Hoffner who is the unfortu- nate loser of his wife, came to the WATCHMAN office and said that Ruben Eller and Mrs. Laura Hoffner, the wife of his son, had gone off together. It geemed to have his doubts as to that. e said that Eller had left a wife and three children and that Mrs. Hoffner had left a son, nearly grown, and that she had taken her two girls with her. He added that “the scamps ought to be put in the papers; for they have gone of to tend like they was man and wife, and it migth help to find ’em out. This is really a bad nest, and the mere elopement of those narged is not the worst part of the scandal. It leaves two families wrecked; a lone woman with three children to support; a fath- er andson to bear the shame of a faithless woman. —_——Oo —The following are the jurors drawn by the Board of Coun- ty Commissioners for the August Term of Rowan Superior Court: First WEEK.

On last Sunday evening, a homicide occurred about seven miles from Salis- bury, in the neighborhood of the tank on the Western road. The parties were both young white men, and the facts as wellas could be ascertained, are about as follows. Henderson Jarrett and John Keen were working for Mr. Gourley, and while at supper on Sun- day evening the young men were twitting each other about girls, when Keen told a funny personal joke on Jarrett. The latter took offense and the two began to quarrel. Mr. Gour- ley interposed, and the young men que down and all seemed amicable. ater in the evening Jarrett said he in- tended to make Keen take back what he had said, and if he did not he would whip Keen or Keen would whip him. This was said to Mr. Sherron in a bed room up stairs, and shortly after this declaration Jarrett left the house. Keen was to spend the night at Locke Anderson's, in order to get an early start at his work next morning. Some- time after the departure of Jarrett, Keen started with a lantern to Ander- son’s. Sherron fearing that trouble would grow out of a meeting of the young men, should it occur, concluded to follow, and when he got out of the house he heard quarrelling at a short distance. He heard rough words and saw blows, and then the lantern went out. Keenran shortly after the light went out, and when the body of Jar- rett was found, it was discovered that he was fatally cut. Five wounds were found; one in the region of the heart, and probably touching the heart; one just under this one, probably five inch- es below, and from which his lungs were protruding; two cuts in the back on the left side, and one on the left right fore arm, a few inches from the wnist. This wound was a cut through the arm between the two bones—radius and ulna —and was not fatal, nor were the cuts on the back, but either of the front wounds must have proven fatal. Coroner Atwell visited the scene early Monday morning and empanneled a jury. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was to theeffect that “Henderson Jarrett came to his death by some sharp instrument in the hands of John Keen in self defence.” The testimony given at the inquest was in favor of Keen, and some wit- nesses who were not examined, it is un- derstood, have testimony favoring Keen. Both men had been drinking. The following is the substance of the testi- mony as given tothe jury by Mr. Gourley: “At supper John Keen and Anderson Jarrett appeared to get anery at each other. I told them to be ashamed for falling out about so frivolous a matter. After that both parties appeared to be reconciled. I ro to Mr. Jarrett to let him live with me a long or a short time; I nev- er wanted him to buy or bring any whiskey about me unless prescribed by some good Doctor. “He promised me he would not. I then got up and left him and went to my bed. Then Jar- rett went out at the steps towards the wood pile. I saw him no more until I saw him with Keen standing by a post oak tree on the upper side, from my house. Keen was in my house when Jarrett went out and about 20 minutes afterwards, Keen started out to go to Locke Anderson’s at the tank with my lantern. When I saw een at ae tree they a ed to be quarrelling. 1 was phase in my door. Mr. Sherron assed me. I told him 1 could not go arefooted. I thenstepped backin the house, got on my stockings and shoes and hastened to where Jar- rett and Keen were. Before I got to them a fight commenced. Jar- rett striking first and then Keen strikes; they struck about three licks each and the lantern was broken which made it dark. It being about 9-o'clock, (p.m. ) July the 12th. Just after the lantern was broke, I heard Keen run; I then hast- ened to Jarrett who oe in a crippled condition. I took him by the arm and helped him up. He told me he was ruined; he was cut bad. Ina few minutes I found he was in a faint- ing condition. After a while he rath- er revived and he said John Keen cut him. The cutting was about 9 o'clock last night (12th).and he died about three and a half o’clock a m. on the 13th. en asked me for my knife after sup- r to kill Jarrett. I did not give it to im. [This last testimony he omitted re . AS to Pere RTE ng oe , : : R. R. Sherror i + said: Arthur Brown are at Morehead. wy came Snes Praskel’s about vane and went to our room; then Jarrett came into our room and told me that Keen had e him at the su table and that he (Keen) had to take it back or he would whip Keen, or Keen would whip him. He told me to come out and hear him make Keen take it back; he then went out and did not return. Shortly after this Keen out. I next saw them standing ta t oak tree quarrelling. Jarrett told een that he had exposed him and that he had to take it back. Keen told him that he did not, that he was only in fun. Then Jarrett gave Keen the D— lie; then Keen gave it back; then Jarrett hit him; then Keen hit Jarrett, passing two or three licks each. Jar- rett knocked Keen down; then Keen got up andrun tohim and hit him again and then run.” It thus appears that Jarrett lay in wait for and attacked Keen, and this makes the case of homicide. It is great] to be regretted that for such rivolity lives must pay the penalty. But the trouble is traced to whiskey, and whiskey will do anything. There are no exceptions in the list of whis- key’s crimes. Keen is held in a bond of $500 for his appearance at the next term of Rowan Court. MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BRUNER. R. M. EAMES, JR., M. E. MANAGERS. It is rumored here that work is soon to be resumed at the Gold Hill mines, in this county. It is hoped that the English owners will be sure they are right this time, and then go ahead. The arbitration between Mr. Wm. F. Buckley, of New York, and J. D. Stewart, the former Superintendent of the Dunn’s Mountain mine, has been going on for some days. There are large sums of money at stake, and the trial is attracting much attention. As yet there has been no decission. ee Fire aT THE Crump Mrxz.—From the Charlotte Observer information is obtained of the destruction of the buildings and machinery at the Crump mine, in Union county. No insurance. The mine was just being reopened, with new machimery, and new build- ings, under the auspices of Boston capital. The loss is much regrotted. The Crump is a fine property, and if worked with economy will pay a fair return. —~-=>-- The Biles Mine. At the Biles mine, in Stanly county, adjoining the famous Parker mine, they have struck ore that mills sixty- three penny weights to the ton. Thisore i the surface, and they are haul- is near ing ita short distance to a five stamp mill. It has every evidence of being a very rich pocket in a permanent vein. This has been a producing property for the last two years, but has_ never been worked on a large scale. It is in the vicinity of placer mines which have yielded immense nuggets. It is worthy of a larger investment. For the Watchman. Let the good work proceed as presaged so well by the new Mayor and his Board in Capt. Crawford’s squard of workers, not idlers as heretofore, and deliver us from the pestipential influence of the hog pen so well and properly portrayed by ‘Jus? in your last issue. Let them recollect it was tilth that produced the Plymouth plague. However, as some;will say “oy hog pon ia clean” which 1s ap utter impossibility, a compromise for the present might be ev dared, by requiring the owners not to pen them, but to have the range of their lots with rings in their noses to prevent their rooting if they should break out. The complaint is so common that death to the hog pen and of the “most villa- nons compound that ever offended nos- trile” is imperatively demanded. A SUFFERER. —___~_ 4 > For the Watchman. Gop Hitt, N. C., July 14, 1885. I was reminded to-day, of the com- mendable effort of the WaTCHMAN to in- duce the owners of castout lands to set them in timber trees. There is many an acre between Gold Hill and Salisbury which might, at small expense, be set in walnut, catalpa, or wild locust, all of which in time would become valuable to the owners. I mention these as most du- rable timbers for posts and crossties, making an exception of the walnut as far toe valuable for such a purpose. The persimon ia also a valuable wood, and under favorable circumstances is of quick growth. But there are other varieties which it would pay to cultivate, and which in a few years would handsomely repay for the pecessary attention given them. The recent rains have been highly ber- efical to the corn and other growing crops, which are looking very promising indeed. The wheat crop with few exceptions, has been garnered. The “shocks” yet re- maining in the fields are of a very dark color though the graiv may have sustain - ed no damage from exposure. I notice that a few farmers bestow a little attention to the sorghum crop. It is surprising how like a beggar, or impostor, this crop is uniformly treated by the farming people of Rowan. It is stuck off in some obscure and least desirable spot, as if nothing was expected of it and no one would ve disappointed in any case— a“wall flower” at a party, or a “poor man ata frolic.’ Aud yet the serghum crop is becoming more and more important in the Western and North-western States, and is destined to become as valuable in the United States as the beet erop is in France and Germany. There is po local news at this place. Peace and plenty, with asual good health, ‘is the condition, with nothing to ruffle the smooth current of human life. oe tion to be held at “St. Matthew's” church ow the 26th and 27th of August, a notice of which will be found in another colamn.

The deceased was a valuable and pr cue citizen.

While engag- ed there he had an accident whic broke a thigh bone. He was taken to the hospital at Marshal, where he re- covered, but before getting away was taken with fever and died.

I have suffered for years with an crup- tion—breaking out at intervals all over my body. At times my hands would be useless, which were both painful and an- noying. All other remedics had been exhausted, when my merchant here, who handles S. S. 8., induced me to try Swrift’s Specific. I tried one bottle and could see that the sores on my hands were drying up. After the use of several bottles 1 was entirely cured, My skin is now as fair and smooth as that of anew born babe. This eruption was hereditary, as my father wus similarly affected. He had also been en- tirely cured. I take great pleasure in re- commending it to others who are similarly affected. I ean vouch for it. It is all it claims to be. I consider it a God send to this veneration, and my house shall never be without it. J.D. ROSS. Sparta, Ga, November 21, 1884. Treatise on Blood and Skip Diseases mailed free.

Up to 28 years agol was regarded as the strongest man in the neighborhood—the most robust in health. In November, 1856. [had a long an/ serious spell of typhoid fever, It lett me emanciated and a cripple inmy tight leg. At times that limb was swollen an enormous size, being twice as larve as its natural condition, and inflamed and angry in| appearance. From my knee down sinall sores came, and at the ankle a large ulcer came, which discharved poison- ous matter. My whole system became infec- ted. The doctors would patch me up for awhile, but the ulcer would never heal. fhe mercury and potash with which they dosed me brought on rheumatism and dys pepsia, Twas an object of pity to all my friends. Some thought that the only hope to save life was amputation, Icontinned to grow worse, and tor three years I have not worn ashov, Hope had almost -lett me. Suilt’s Specitic was suggested, and I commenced its use at once. From the very tirst I began to feel better. I have taken 36 bottles, and the shadows which had darkened my life for 28 years have all been dissipated. The effect of the medicine has been wonderfulindeed. Today I am able to attend to all my farming interests and walk from one to five miles a day. I am satistied that the disease is entirely broken up, and henceforth I am to be free frum those ter- rible apprehensions and suffering which formerly made my life miserable. Swift's Specific has done more for me in one year than all the druz store medicine prescribed by physicians did in 28 years, and I most cheerfully bear this testimony of its merits. Wa. R. REED.

Tt is called the laughing plant because its seeds produce effects like those pre- duced by laughing gas. The flowers are of a bright yellow, and the seed pods are solt and woolly, while the seeds resemble small black beans, and only two or three grow ina pod. The natives dry and pal verize them, and the powder, if taken in small doses, makes the soberest person behave like a cireus clown ora madman, for he will dance, sing and laugh most boisterously, and cut the most fantastic eapers, and be in an uproariously ridicu- lous condition for about an hour. When the excitement ceases the exhausted ex- hibitor of these antics falls asleep, and when he awakes he has not the slightest remem brauce of his trisky doings.--Shan- ghai Celestial Empire.

They continucd to grow, aad finaiiy de- veloped into what the doctors called can- cer of the breast. In a short time I found }my strength gone and my constitution a ltotal wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving | my condition in the least, and finally | agrecing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by this time was eat- ing out my very life, and for five months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift's Specfic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won- dertul medicine has brought back my health again. I now co all my own house- work, Tam perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person altogether. I can not feel too vrateful for this wonderful re- covery, for Iam satisfied if it had not been for Swift’s Specific IT would have been in}: my grave today.

As soon as We reached the front of the Federal position, we put out eur skir- mish lines and ordered an advance, Lee. Very soon Gen, Lee came, and after carefully considering the posi- tion of the enemy and of their gun- | beats on: the: James, decided that it operations. “Our skirmish lines were . withdrawn,we ordered our troops back }- to our old lines around Richmond, and a month later McClellan’s army wis withdrawn to the North, The “Seven Days’ Fight,” althongh a decided Confederate victory, was a succession of mishaps. If Jackson : had arrived on the 26th, the day of : his own selection, the Federals would | have been driven back from Mechan- icsville without a battle. His delay : there, caused by obstructions placed : in his road by the enemy, was the! first mishap. He was too late in en- tering the fight at Gaines’ Mill, and the destruction of Grapevine Bridge kept him from reaching Fraser’s Farm until the day after that battle. If he had been there we might have de- stroyed or captured McClellan’s ar ny. Huger was in position for the battle of Fraser’s Farm, and after his bat- teries had mislead me into opening the fight, he subsided. Holmes and MeGruder, who were on the New Market road to attack the Federals as Gen. McClellan’s retreat was suc- cessfully managed ; therefore we must give it credit for being well managed. He had 115,000 men, and insisted to the authorities at Washington that Lee had 200,000. In fact, Lee had only 90,000. Gen. McClellan’s plan to take Richmond by a siege was wise enough, and it would have been a success if the Confederates had con- sented to such a programme, In spite Lee, with a force inferior in numbers, completely routed him, and while suf- ferring less than McClellan, captured 'over 10,000 of his men. Gen. Lee’s | plans in the Seven Days’ Fight were }excellent, but were poorly executed. Gen. McClellan was a very accom- plished soldier and very able engineer, but hardly equal to the position of field marshal as a military chieftain. He organized the army of the Poto- mac cleverly, but did not handle it skillfully when in actual battle. Still, I doubt if his retreat could have been better handled, although the rear of his army should have been more pos- itively either in his own hands or in the hands of Sumner. Heiutzelman crossed the White Oak Swamp pre- maturely and left the rear of McClel- lan’s army exposed, which would have been fatal had Jackson come up and and taken part in McGruder’ affair of the 29th near Savage’s Station.—Gen.

I tried it years ago, and gave both up as a bad job, But say, did you ever hearef aman having a horse balk on him in such a way as to make him laugh—to please him all over, make him right down happy ? Well, sir, I did, and I was the man. He was a horse that I had traded for, and he was an awlul balker, There wisn’t any use of deing anything with him—there was nothing to do but just sit down and wait for him to come around, It generally took two hours.” “One day I was driving him along, and jnst as we got on the railroad track he balked. ‘Here’s a go,’ says I to myself; ‘what it a train should come along?’ At first Iwas afraid a train would come, then after a while I didn’t care a cuss whether one came or not, and in about seventy minutes I was afraid one wouldo’t come. I just ached te havea train come along. I prayed for one. Sure enough, pret- ty soon I saw one coming. It made mesmile. When the engineer whistl- ed for me to get off the track I laugh- ed. And when she got a little closer I climbed out the hind end of the buggy, leaned up agaiust the fence and prepared to enjoy the picnic.

Shall she be ?”— News- Obs. When farmers have anything for sale they all rush into the market at once, and force the price down, and the middlemen get the benefit of the rise. We donot mean to convey the idea that farmers should necessarily hold their products after they are ready for market, but they should study supply and demand, and avoid Pine the market beyond a normal supply. If farmers would study all these things, and combine their interests 1s other classes do, they would not be so con- stantly in the toils of the middlemen. We speak of the great mass of farmers, and, although they do not avail them- selves of all their great opportunities, yet they have advanced a great way in the last quarter of a century, and we shall be more than pleased to see them studying every branch of their business, and exercising that care and foresight which will enable them to practice all the economies, and add so much to their profits. And to this end the formation of agricultural associations, to bring farmers into closer social relations with each other, will exert an important in- fluence. Here they might discuss all matters relating to their occupation. These associations would naturally con- tain all the most advanced farmers of the vicinity, and the suggestions of im- provement there made, would be a strong stimlus to those not so far ad- vanced.— Vews-Obs. Cash. The Elizabeth City Falcon talks sencé when it says: “In this fair Southern land of ours there is too much trusting to luck, too much borrowing of our neighbor's capital in substance and brains, too much credit in_ business. Cash is the basis of all well-conducted commercial transactions. If we make our purchases conform to the size of our assets, we will surely be Gainer in the end, whatever eerie of depression may try our metal in the meantime. A non-observance of this rule is one of the great faults of the South. People buy that which they do not need and can really afford to be without, merely be- cause they can get it without any im- mediate outlay. “What matter?” they think, “with any sort of luck we will be able to meet the debt before it is due.” Perhaps, and perhaps not. B odds the safest way is to hamper one’s self with no such obligations, to run no risk of impairing one’s credit. Cash down isan infinitely better plan for both buyer and seller, and this is the corner-stone of all prosperous business. Much of what we are prone to lay to the prevailing hard times, or to charge to the account of personal hard luck, is after all the result of our own improvi- dence. We bargain tv do that which we have no absolute certainty of being able to do. In very many instances we fail, and thus the bargain proves a sitive detriment to both contracting arties. The motto of the Southern bisinese man should be spot cash.” —__ ~~ Prof. W. C. Ker, late State Geolo- gist, continues very feeble. He is stopping evith Solicitor J. S. Adams.

On the 1st of May, 1866, in London, there will be an Exhibition of peculiar interest to the United States. It is to be an exclusively American Exhibition, and is the first one ever held on the other side of the Atlantic. It is believ- ed that it will be a fine success every way and great efforts are to be made to give it such attractive features that millions of visitors will crowd to see it. The Boston Post thus refers to the Ex- hibition: “About 10,000,000 people reside within one hour of the sates sta- tion, in addition, to the 150,000 strangers who it is estimated enter the city of London daily.

Some of the members had dug and fitted up such places of refuge, which were consid- ered by the majority of the brethren as a flagrant violation of their doctrine and a temptation to God to wipe them off the face of the earth. As the pit-diggers were more fearful of cyclones that of the wrath of God, they erganized themselves into a church under the name of the Cy- clone ‘Primitives, whereas the old church has assumed the name of Anti-Cyclone Primitives.

HARDWARE, : ‘ < eo ~ Carolina Watehmap. —_~--—_- — zs — THURSDAY. JULY 23, 1385. NORTH CA ROIAXNA AND TH LONDON EXHI BITLON. | ; | The press of the State in republish- | ing items concerning the American Eix- | hibition in London, in 86, and in com- menting editorially on the advantages North Carolina would gain by being represented there, leads the WATCHMAN to review very briefly the work already done by the State, and to make a cur- sory survey of the situation as it relates to this State. At Atlanta the State made an exhib- it of so strong and convincing a char- acter as to astonish even observant men from all sections of our country. Littie effort was made to beautify or adorn, but the essential superiority of crude material was most convineing. This ef- fort was followed by the more success- ful and beneficial exhibit at Boston: Here ornament was added to sys tematic arrangement. The wors was | eo carefully and skilfally done as to| draw the most laudatory commendation from the press of all New England. This was not the better part and only result of the broad policy and wise ex- nditure on the purt of the State mmigration among the better class of New England farmers and mechanics was stimulated, and thousands of dol- lars sought investment in manufactar- ing, mining and other industries. and in real estate. Still, money from that quarier is coming into thesiate. Were it necessary the writer could point our instances of investments made this year in th: “tat :, resultant directly from the Boston Exhibit. So that from the seeds sown among the barre rocks of New Eng acid, the State has been reap- ing for seveval years, and still we axe in the m'dst 0° the harvest. In 1484, at the North Carolina Ex-| gition, tne ~trte rgain set up its may} nificent display and it was frought with much owl. St was a great eaucator,| prepann.: the pee Je to a more coupre- —_— os ensiv> avprecation of the advantages’ resulting from the changes following the inauguration of the new industrial era. which is stirring animation in man- ufacturing, agricultural and other pur- suits within our borders. The good ef- fect produced by that display can not he calculated, but the improvements in many parts of the State bear testimony which is incontrovertable. Next the State appeared at the World's Industrial and Cotton Centen- nial Exposition, at New Orleans, and there came in direct competition with every State and Territory in the Union sive Utah, not represented. To say that the State sustained her reputation would not convey the idea at all. North Car- olina stood at the head. No State or Territory l rivaled her glorious array. In decorative taste; in scientific classi- fication; jn convenient and progressive arrangement; in the number of subjects shown; in distinutive characteristics, and in all the essentials which make up a complete collective exhibit, there was no rival. This was conceeded by all, | and while it is pleasant to know that such were the facts, the more impor- tant matter must be summed up in the advantage tothe State. That the in- vestment of capital was a direct out- come, might be shown by pointing out| the facts and giving the names, but! even this would not aid in estimating the amount of value the exhibit was to the State in directing attention to the many sources of wealth now tv a large extent latent. But the value of the in- vestment is unquestioned. The resources of the State are so great and varied, and the territory to be worked up is so vast that it is mecessa- ry to continue this most effective mode of advertising. Hence the Wilming- ton Star, Raleigh News-Observer and other leading journals of the State ad- yocate the sending of the North Caro- lina collection to London. It has been the policy of the State for years to seek immigration, and to the Department of Agriculture is due all success so far attained. The subject of immigration cannot be treated in this briet artiele, but the writer desires his position understood. Immigration from the poorer classes of any foreign country cannot be depended upon; it is neither reliable nor otherwise satisfac- tory. Every experiment in this line in North Carolina has proven a failure. Why? Briefly this: The newly arrived emigrants are restless, do not find just what they expected, and move off m search of something else, generally to the West; then pauper labor objects most seriously to coming in contaet and in competition with negro labor, This is the greatest barrier. Will the negroes then, not answer the purpose, as they become more educated, and realize what is to be gained by developing the coun- try where they are acclimated? No! there is not the least evidence where an educated negro has turned his hand to hard work. They look higher, into the rofessions and mercantile pursuits— at the guilded dome, instead of begin- ning at the rough hewn foundation. They will never do more than they now do, so that help must come from outside. Then what class of inimigration is de- sired? Jt is the grade several times aboye the pauper grade; the grade of voung men, farmers, artisans and man- ufacturers who may have only small! means, yet enougi, With the use of their brains, to ensure success in in- dustrial undertakings. This is the on- ly class that will be of value to North Carolina. They come with money enough to buy a small farm or a share in a business and go to work. This at once gives them a feeling of independ- pi the coming American Exhibition in eee on the face of the globe that can ‘ty for consideration when dependent for futare achievements. It is necessary then to concentrate ef- forts in this one direction, and to this end, no better or more valuable oppor- tunity was ever offered the State than London. Why? Because it is in the heart of civilization; because it 1s among an english speaking people; because it is in the most densely populated region of the world; because it is. Where mill- ions of dollors lay idle waiting for in- vestment; because there is no other urnish as many of the essential condi- tions, with as reasonable chances for success, — What has North Carolina to offer as inducements to this class of immi- grants? Kverything that could be desired! A territory of fifty-two thousand two hundred and eighty-six square miles— almost exactly that of England. Thirty thousand square miles of the finest forests in America. The hard and decorative woods predominating. Over three hundred miles of coast where are located-the most important fisheries on the South Atlantic coast. Building stones of every kind, inclu- ding granites, gneisses, marbles, serpen- tines, soapstones and sandstones. .

The immigrant is invited to come to a land where he may have liberty and attain plenty: where he has religious and political freedom; where he will be surrounded by a law-abiding. peace- loving, industrious. frugal and chris- tian people; and where he will live un- der a purely democratic government, | with light taxes and splendid school advantages. These area few of the substantial inducements which would influence the grade of immigrantion desired. These facts appeal to those in authori- the time shall come for a decision.

The meeting is particularly interest- ing to stockholders. who have paid in their five per cent of stock. Those who have paid this per cent., and to whom Mr. Holic! gave receipts, are urged to resent those receipts to Mr. A. H. oyden, the Secretary, or let them ac- company their proxies to the August meeting. ; Great interest is manifested in this revived scheme, and the next meeting is looked on as decisive, hence the im- portance of all the stock being present. OO OE The Mormons are threateping armed rebellion against the United States. We are not snre that sach a “rebellion” would not be the best thivg for all concerned. It would clean ont the lustful wretches. Wil. Star. Does the Star hate the Mormons ? Is their crime, bad as it is, more intol- lerable or pernicious to public morals than the heathenish, lustful family- destroying divorce laws of some of the more saintly (?) Eastern States? The Mormons have one thing at least in their favor: they are honest in what they do; they do not consider polygamy a sin; they take as many wives as they can support, and openy own them and rear their families. They act in good faith. This is a blot on the fair name of America, the blood on the escutch- eon, and it should be wiped off. But with the vile, covinous and lecherous practices of some sections of our coun- try, done under cover of law—a foul cover-shame—how can effective warfare be waged against offenders who are more honest ? Is it worse to marry two or three wives and live with them till death, than to marry three or four in as many years, under favoring laws which grant a divorce for any pretext, mental or physical ? The people residing in glass houses in New England should be careful in casting stones at the crystal palaces in Utah. The people of the South, thank God, are in no danger of being hit. They are at liberty to throw stones in both directions. i> >> aa A great deal has been said of the Ray and Anderson escape at Asheville. Some incline to the opinion- that some of the officers in charge were to blame, and that they were probably paid to “weak resistance.” The case will doubt- less be fully investigated. The citizens of Asheville are not a people to submit to “outrageous conduct” on the part of officers, so that the public may rest ‘easy, reposing full confidence in the | law-abiding people of Asheville. ————_—_—~-oe-—__—- The State Guard have gone to Ashe-} ville to enjoy (?) their encampment.

By some accident a coach was disrailed, cord, devoted largely to recording the development going on in the South, gives some very encouraging figures in its last semi-annual statement.

(Asheville Citizen.} _ President Cleveland employs occasion- ally some very vigorous language in deal- ing with the throungs of office seekers that hover about him and make life bur- densome. A recent Washington date says he was visited by a pair of western Con- gressmen the other day, aecompanied by a promivent exmember of the last House, who has been here for some time working for a place of State importance. When the familiar faces of the office hunters came before the President he seemed ve- ry much vexed, and procceded to address them in this wise: “It's a little strange how some nen go at this thing. A very large proportion of those who want office come here from the far West, the South and other sections near and remote. They take up quarters at the hotels, locate permanently, begin todrink whiskey, and thinkthey aregetting appointments. Now, if yoa will look over the list of men who bave been appointed by me you will see the names of none of these men there. No, not by a d—d sight. The men who stay at home and work are the men who get the places. When men can come here, loaf aroand for months aud spend money in search of offices, it is the very best evidence to me that they have nothing todo at their bomes, and‘ would vot be missed if they left there. ———_- +> —_____ PRESERVE THE HEALTH of yourself and childien by using Shiine’s Indian Vermi- fnge, Worms cause disease and destroys would be appropriates Government which in absorbing te ties réquired the subjected inhabitants to Sweat allegiance to it.” He is very earnest in begging that our There are many people in Washington | children shall not be mistaught as to the and donbtless many more throughout the|true theory and interpretation of our country wheare not aware that there, bag, ey He warns against the cen- been &-change of Administration.

He says: a government office here is still a suffi- ciently novel incident to cause a sensation of terror and rage in the gang which has held on through thick and thin, by fraud or force, fer so many years. When it was known that Clevelaud was elected they all expected to go, and at once set to packing everything, always excepting their bloody shirt. Sach a thing as hold- ing to the promises of platforms had never been practiced or belived in by them, and it never once occurred to them that Mr. Cleveland end his Cabinet would live up tothe very excellent precepts and principles of their public utterances-and platforms. The first few days after the 4th of March were passed in expectation of deserved dismissal by thousands in public the service here in Washington. But now that they have remained so long unmolested they have assumed the men- tal attitude of the “pampered goose” and believe that-this Democratic Admiuistra- tigny was created especially «fer their use. Wheneverany onc of them is pulléd away from the public crib the others set up a cackling aud hissiug which is deafening aud confusing, and the whole radical prese from the Atlantic to the Pucific joins the chorus. It isa great pity that these removals were uot made more rap- idly and in battalions or at least in squads instead of one at atime. There bas never been but oue right and decent way to transfer the Government, and that is one which commends itself to everybody. The six or seven thousand offices coutem- plated in the Civil Service Law should be left to the rules. Tho rules provide abuudantly for cases of incompeteucy, insubordination, or immoral conduct. The remaining offices more than one hundred thousand in number, should be delt with openly, fairly and courageously. They belong to the Administration, and the Administration owes nobody an apology for taking posession. The peo- ple called the Democraay to govern, and they expect them todo it.

Washington, Jaly 12.—‘Coot” Jones was surprised when he got here to find himaelf a fall-fledged “Col.” The question as to who secured his appointment has papers speak of him as “Edmund Jones Lincoln” and as having been appointed by Senator Vance, while the Post says that Ransom made the appointment at Vance’s request. Leazar, of Iredell, is slated for the next appointment. He too, will be made chief of the division in the Treasury De- partment. without saying that this will be a good appointment all round, Representative Henderson has been labor- ing hard to secure Mr. Leazar’s appoint- ment, with the co-operation of Senator Ransom.

His father was Governor of the Teriitory before the war and was removed by Lin- coln. The Administration is disposed to mnake a ‘fclean sweep” in the Territories, and Mr. Reucher is patiently waiting for the lightning to strike him. Mr. Cobb, sou of Rev. Needham Cobb, is an applicant for telegrapher of the In—- terior Department. He has been here some time and intends to remain indefi- nitely. He says it is “gopher or noth- ing,” and that he must have the “gopher.” Repreacntative Reid visited the State Department yesterday and arged the appoinmeut of Mr. Maurice Pretzfelder, of Greensboro, to a German consulate. He has strong evdorsements and a goed showing for the appointment. Lt. Gov. Robinson has arrived and will receive his commission as special Indian agent, ina few days. It has been stated in this correspondence that he had been appointed inspector of public lands. Jn that there is error. The salary is $2,000 aud expenses. It is a very desirable ap- pointment. . Col. Paul B Means is here, and he has a what are we here for look about him. The Henderson postoftice furnishes a spirited contest. The present incumbent is a sister of ex—-Collector Young, and has been retained in office against Radical protest for a number of years. Her hus- band is a Democrat and was dismissed from the revenue service because le refused to contribute to the Republican campaign fund. Since he has acted as chief clerk in the Henderson postoffice, and has made, it is said, an efficient clerk. He isan applicant. Both husband and wite are endorsed by representative Democrats, Ex Congressman Juve Davis is urging Mr. Rowland, while Senator Vance is pressiug Mr. Hill. Mr. Dick Henderson, brother-in-law of Gov. Scales, is au applicant and is backed by Senator Ransow. If the questiou of removal was satisfactorily settled Henderson’s chances Lwsenld appear to be the best.

The readers of the Star know how of- ten and with what earnestness it has attacked the uses and abuses of lying school histories preparred by Northern book makers. We are glad that ex- President Davis has spoken on the same subject. Ina letter dated the 20th of June and addressed to Col. Power, of the Jacksov (Miss.) Clarion, he writes at some length of the evils growing out of the use of such schovl histories. He gaye: ‘‘Ag there can be no higher duty than to guard against false impressions in the instructiow of children so there can be no care more essential than the proper selection of the school books. Tu them to pervert history and propogate untrue doctrine is te poision the sources of our political streams. [have not secon the book referred to, but judging it by ex- tracts given I am surprised that it should have received such av indorsemeut as is cited.” Mr. Davia also sets forth his views us to the true interpretation of the Consti- tution and the rights of States. Iu the course of hie remarks he thus tefers to ueurpation and the use of the singular in referring to the United States. He says: “The tyrant’s plea of necessity to ex— cuse despotic usurpation is offered for the unconstitutional act of emancipation, and the poor regort to prejudice is invok- ed jn the use of the epithet ‘rebellion’— a word inapplicable to States geverally and most especially so to the sovereign memberéof a voluntary union.

What Territory he will be assigned to, or whether it will be.an associate justices- hip, is not known at this writing. Some weeks ago Private Secretary Lamont suggested the New Mexico judgeship to Senator Ransom. Col. Staples then had his eye on the assistant solicitorship of the treasury, and, as a last resort, deputy commissioner of Internal Revenue. La- mont’s suggestion was not acted on wntil the chances were narrowed down to the Territorial judgeship or chief of division.

Correspondence ofthe Rockingham Rocket. I have lately noticed that Gen. Grant repeats in his bistory of the war the story that Jfferson Davis, when captured, was in his wife’s clothing, or words to that effect. I have also noticed in the Century Magazine accounts of some of the battles in the late war between the States differing materially from what we were taught to be the true result of those battles. Our country is flood- ed with Northern accounts of the war; our children’s school books are from Northern sources, and the his- tory of that great straggle is mostly from the Northern standpoint. I be- lieve ex-President Davis has written a history of the war, and also Mr. Stephens, but we ought to havea more concise yet full and trathful history, written by a Southern man— “Nothing extenuate or set duwn aught in malice;” and it should be one of the text books in all Southern schools, that our posterity may know the truth of the history of the events. Justice to the dead herves, as well as to these living who participated in the struggle, demands it; our own self-respect demands it; and it ought to be written as soon as _ possible, while the events are green and fresh in the memory of the survors, How cau it be done? If the editors of Southern newspa- pers will all pat their shoulders to the wheel they can svon raise money enough to get sume compctent gen- tleman to give it his time and atten- tion, See what amount the effurts of one Northern newspaper, the World, has raised to accomplish its object. I have in my mind’s eye one geatle- nan who would accomplish the un- dertaking if he could) be induced to try it—Col. Charles C, Jones, Jr., LL. D., of Augusta, Ga., and I have by doubt there are others. If yeu coincide with these views, start the ball. (1 will give fifiy dol- lars towards the necessary fund). Truly yours, &., RicuMonD County, N.C. The Cohen Sensation. His Arrest at Wythville, Va.-—His Wife Hastens to His Rescue. A dispatch from Wythville, Va., says: “This morniug Sheriff Robin- son, of Greenville, arrived here and caused the arrest of Cohen at the Hancock House, where he was stop ping with his bride, Telegrams from: Sheriff Robinson to Goidsboro elici- ted a response from Cohen’s alleged wife, saying they were married in Cincinnati during the sixties. A tele- gram to the mayor of Cincinnati was answered as follows: “Reeords destroyed March, 1884. Can’t get the information.” Cohen’s North Carolina wife tele- graphed tothe sheriff to hold his horses, ete, for her benefit. Miss Patton’s bigh aud wide social connection adds great interest to the ease. She was from the first families of her section, and her infatuation is inexplicable. From the loss of the records it is supposed the second mar- riage must stand as valid. Cohen says lie lived with the North Caroli- na woman for some years, but was bever married to her,” The sensation has likewise created a cousiderable commotion in this com- munity where R. M. Cohen aud wife, with a large family of children, have resided the past fifteen yearsyand here whatever other charges and crook- edness have from time to time been laid at Cohen’s feet, their domestic relations have, from all accounts, been affectionate and happy, and the chil- dren feel indignant at the false report that their parents had not been pro- perly married, At first Mrs. Cohen, it seeins, shared in this disgust, but a woman’s loye is capable of strange spasms, and so it happens that the pitiful appeals received here from Cohen himself, have prempted her to leave here for Wythville, and reports say, for the purpose, and with a willingness, to make almost any sac- rifice te release Cohen from the charge of bigamy. We await further de- velopments.—Guldsboro Messenger. —_——~79“>o Strange Bridal Omens. Superstitions About the Dates of Mar- riages, “Oh, bless you, no; the wedding will not take place until early in June,” said a society mother in a chat with the fashion editor, who had touched on the subject of her daugh- ter’s nuptials. “But it was supposed to be all fixed for an earlier date,” said the visitor. “So it wos, a long time in advance,” said the mother; “but we discovered that the wedding would come in Lent, 80 we put it off.” ‘cs Why?” “Because it was in Lent. We couldn’t havea marriage in Lent, you knew.” “Why not? There’s no law against marrying at any time, is there ?”- “No; but it would be bad luck.” “Who says so?” “Everybody. Why its as old as the hills—that superstition, ‘The young women of over a century ago used to say, ‘Marry in Lent, be sure to re- pent.’ »” “And the young girls of this cen- tury keep on saying the same thing, it seems,” “Yes,” said the mother of the wp ao edge, and yet.no one wants to run the risk of inviting bad luck by vio- lating the rule.” The editress being started on the shard of wotman’s gopersiitions in re- gard to - i made inquiries and geibered a cotorking acne of them. No girl, for instance, is willing to make Friday her wedding day, Away back in the tragic times the most of these maiden superstitions were traced. The Romans were very superstitious about marrying in May and Februdty. ‘he 14th has always been considered in Englaud peculiar- ly unlucky for brides. Why, tradi- tion sayeth not. In the Orkney Isles the bride selects an evening for her wedding when there is a full moon and flowing tide. In Scotiand the last day of the year is considered lucky; the bride’s prospects in life are supposed to be brilliant. Sunday isa great favorite with brides in some parts of England and Ireland. The French demoiselle, however, thinks the first Friday io the month particularly fortunate for her nuptials. In Sweeden the bride on her way back from church has pieces of bread in her pockets, These she throws away en her toad to her home to in- eure her good luck. It is ill-fortune to the one who picks up these crumbs, If the bride lose her slipper on her way from church, she will lose all her troubles, and the one who picks it up will gain riches, In every country it is an unhappy omen for the wedding to be put off when once the day has been fixed, and in England it is believed great misforture will ensue if a bridgroom stand, if only for asmoment, at the junction of cross reads on his wed- ding morn. In England, also, it is tnonght a sign of bad luck if the bride fails to shed tears on her wed- ding day, or if she turn tu take a last look at herself in her wedding toilet. Among the English lasses it is bad luck for a bride to look back or go back when once she has started for the church, or to marry dressed in green, or to let the ceremony go on while there is an open grave in the churchyard. When the bridesmaids undress the bride they must be sure of geod luck to themselves as well as for her. Ifa single piu be left in the bride’s raiment, woe unto her. And if a bridesmaid should keep one of them she will not be married before Whitsuntide, or the Easter following. Pherefore bridesmaids in England are uot given to preserving the pins from the bridal costumes, If the bribal party venture off the land they must go up stream, and the bride, to make certain of good luck, must, on the happy day, wear “Something old aud something new, something gold aud something blue.” If she sees a strange cat on that day she will take itas an omen that she is to be very happy; and if on the morning of her wedding day she steps from ber bed on something higher than the floor, aod then on something higher still, she will rise in the world from the time of her marriage. ‘To make sure of this, the maiden has chair and a table at her bedside and steps from ove te the other on rising from her slumber on her wedding morn. On jleaving her home and on starting from the church to return, she is very careful to step out with her right loot first, and is earetul not to ad- dress her husband after they are wed without first calling him by his fall wame. The break of the wedding ring ig a sign that the wearer will soon be a widow. And there were fifty others of. the same sort which are share! by our young women, who carefully follow many of these mummeries in the wed- ings of today. Though they be nineteen century maids, the graduates of colleges of high standing, they are net proof against the superstitions of brides from time immemorial._— Brooklyn Eagle. One of our exchanges takes the trouble to tell its readers how to roll mazazines, pamphlets, etc., for trans- mission by mail or otherwise. ‘This is one of the cases where Punoch’s excellent advice “Don’t!” comes in. Such things should not be rolled at all. They should always be sent flat. To roll them is to mar them at once and forever. When a periodi- cal dealer offers to roll up a_ parcel for a customer he should be told politely but unmistakably that he doesn’t wholly understand his busi- ness. Manuscripts, it may be added, should never be rolled, under any cir- cumstances. If necessary to reduce the proportions of a package, they may be fulded, once or twice, as re- quired, but the less the better.— Goldsboro Bessenger. + Raleigh News-Observer:—The State Board of Assessors yesterday fixed the valuation of the railway frauchises in North Carolina.

Cancer Cured, About three years ago there appeared on my right breast several bard lumps which gave me almost intolerable pain, They continued to grow, and finally de- veloped into what the doctors called can- cer of the breast.

Andrew Jackson’s First Annual December 8th, 1829. | From President | Message, | There are perhaps, few men who ‘can for any great Jength of time en- |joy office and power without being re or less nuder the influence of ifeclings unfavorable to a faithful dis- icharge of their public duties. The integrity may be proof against im- | proper considerations immediately ad- | dressed to. themselves; but they are |apt to acqnire a habit of looking with indifference upon the public interests, iand of tolerating conduct from which | an unpractised man would revolt. | ore is considered asa species of | | |J» ; mo | property, and government rather as a means promoting individual interest ithan as an instrament created solely lfor the service of the people. Cor- }ruption in some, and in others a per- | vision of correct feelings and princi- | ples, divert government from its le- i gitimate ends, and make it an engine for the support of the few at the ex- | nense of the many. ‘The duties of all public officers are, or at least admit (of being made, so plain and simple intelligence may readily | Serious Charge Against County Officers. more is lost by the long continuance of men in office than is generally to be gained by their experience. I sub- mit, therefore, to your consideration whether the efficiency of the Govern- ment would not be promoted, and official industry and integrity better secured, by a general extension of the law which limits appointments to four vears. In a country where offices are crea- ted solely for the benefit of the peo- ple, no one man has any more intrin- sic right to official station than an- other, Offices were not established to give support to particular men, at the public expense. No individual wrong is therefure done by removal, since neither appointment to nor con- tinuance in office is a matter of right. The incumbent became an officer with a view to public benefits, and, when thesé require his removal, they are not to be sacrificed to private inter- ests. It is the people, and they alone, who have the right to complain when a bad officer issubsituted for a goodone. He whois removed - has the same means of obtaining a living that are enjoyed by the millions who never held office. ‘The proposed limitation would destroy the idea of property now so generally connected with offi- cial station, although individual, it would, by promoting that rotation which constitutes a leading principle in the republican creed, giving healthful action to the system. Charlotte Democrat: Some North- ern papers are now beginning to sce how the South and Southern people have been slandered by paid hireling newspaper reporters and thieving car- pet-baggers. A paper published at Cleveland, Ohio, though Republican, has this to say: “Tn every Southern State Blaine received more votes than Garfield re- ceived in 1880, and there was no at- tempt anywhere to ‘bulldoze’ colored or other voters in the interests of the Democratic party. There may have been in the past scenes of bloodshed and riot in the South, bat when it is understoed that debased and deprav- ed negroes of that section were led by Northern seallawags and carpet-bag- gers, who were urging them to over- awe and oppress resident white men, itis notto be wondered that some lawless men resisted the rule of igno- rance, brutality and kuavery by ev- ery means in their power. Bat now that quiet and peace are restored, and the rights of the freedmen are every- where respected, and both races are getting along harmonivusly, it is the lowest and basest of demagoguery to inflame the passions of one scction against the other.” —_———_ ~~ - — [Raleigh Register. } A VERY SERIOUS charge is made by the Wilmington Star in relation to county students at the University. The matter needs looking into. The REGISTER is very sure that the Star would make no such statement affect- ing the personal official characters of the Boards of Commissioners of forty North Carolina counties, without as thorough examination as the nature of the case would permit. It is equally sure that the morals of so large a num- ber of the most reputable citizens of the State cannot be so lax as the Star has been led to believe. The question should be settled one way or the other, and the first step to a settlement is to name the counties and the cases. ~ Annexed is the Star's paragraph, to which the ReGisTeR appends the law about the matter as set forth in sections 2633 and 2634 of The Code. . (From the Wilmington Star.] The free schoolarship law has been terribly abused. There are 96 counties in the State. The law gave one free schol- arship to each county. But it is well known that there were more than 100 students sent to Chapel Hill under the free scholarship law, and that these were from but little over forty caunties. How was that? Was that nota very shameful violation of the law? Not only this, but many well-to-do men took advantage of the law and got free tuition for their sons.

SE —— Dr. Henry E. Sheppard, President of the Charlestoy.College has been in Wilson for several days, and of course everybody has been charmed and de- lighted with this profound scholar and elegant gentleman. He delivered a number of lectures and all his dis- courses were broad in the scope of vi- sion, accurate and = graphic in their paintings of times and men, keen and true in their portrayals of the the con- duct to motive, noble in their ethical teachings and grandly magnificent in their garniture of expression. These addresses came to us hoary with the gray hairs of laborious research and persistant application, and were learn- ed and scholarly, and opulent with the hidden lore of far away ages. ‘The dusty tomes of the vanished past were brushed up and made to gleam with radiant interest. His themes ‘have been brought under perfect subjection to his finely cnltivated powers and he roles them with that quiet power and easy grace which shows his perfect and undisputed majesty. He reigns over the realm of the English Jan- guage a king, with his sovercignty undoubted and. undisputed. His thoughts are draped in the luxuriant foliage of the most copiras diction, and his sentences, well rounded and symmetrical are models of beauty and culture, and show a finish most ex- quisite aud flawless. Every word seemed created for the office he asked it to fill, and consequently they fitted in his sentences with adinirable and skillful precision and made the dis- courses smooth and harmonious and stripped of every obstruction which could impede its flow.

Mr. Boteler did all it was possible for him to do in the matter, and gave a printed form of recommendation for pardon to the Senator to take to the Attorney General for his signature if he would approve . When the blank returned it was found duly signed, which caused the beautiful young lady to faint. She ral- lied soon, and with outstretched arms made for Mr. Boteler, who fled.

At ingnest, it was stated that deceas- ed had been aaffering from beart dis- ease for two or three years, and it was supposed that he had hurricd to catch the train that moruing. Somehody has said, what every bo- dy has observed, that those persons who have attained to eminence in any eacation of life have followed a ani- form course, that of earnest work and unwearied application, Nove are truly happy but those that are busy; for the only real happiness lies in useful work of some kind, either of the hand or the head, so long as overexertion of either is avoided.

MoturTH OF THE AMAZON RIVER, June 26, 1885, We are now ascending the mighty Amazon and in abont three hours we will be at the city of Pata, where I will mail this. We have had a most delightful trip, a fine ship, a pelite, skillful captain, a smooth sea and'a number of agreeable passengers. Mrs. Jarvis has stood the voyage splendidly and I am glad to say has had almost absolute exemption from that terrible sea sickness which she anti- cipated. Instead of the burning heat 1 expected, we have bad it cool and all the time pleasant. The san is now far to the north of us. We have passed under him and have left him far behind us and still we have experienced no weather that was atall uncomfortable. Iv fact, I am sure we have been more comfortable than you have been in Raleigh, for there has not been a moment of our time when we felt like taking off a coat or vest to make us more comfortable, and I doubt if you can say this. I dwell upon this fact because it has been such an agreeable surprise to me. Socool was it last night when we crossed the equator that some of the passengors got their overcoatsand wraps. Think of aman with an overcoat on at thé equator! It is contary to all of my preconceived notions of the equator. Last night was a beantiful moontight night and our splendid ship glided over the bright moonlit waters with a grace and a majesty that was enchanting. ‘The Southern Cress stood before us, high up in the heavens, iv all its beauty and bril- liancy. I walked the deck of our gallant ship and thought of home and friends, of State and country. May heaven’s choic- est blessings be with them all. I mentioned we have crossed the equa- tor. If you will look at the map of South America you will see tbat Para is about one degree south, and ao is the Amazon, along which we are now sailing and steaming at good swift speed. We are not more than two or three miles from the land to the south of us. Out to the vorth of us the river stretches away fora hundred miles and more before Jand can be seen except here and there a few small islands which stand out inthe river. So the grea tempire of Brazil is now in full view, and in a few hours [ shall stand upon its soil and shall hope that my four years’ stay within its borders will be pleasant to me and profitable to my country. We will probably leave Para about night and point our prow oceanward again. We stop at three other places in Brazil befere we reach Rio, and these stoppages, to- gether with our long distance ahead of us yet, will keep us on our journey for two weeks more. Parais about eighty miles up theriver,and from Para to Rio is about twenty-two hundred and _ fifty miles. This will begiu to give you some idea of the vastness of this great empire. While we have quite a distance to travel, the worst of the journey is over, for we will soov be running along the coast and making frequent stops at large and iuter- esting cities. We have been wenderfully blessed during our whole voyage with de- lightful weather and a smooth sea, but the captain tells us he rarely ever has it any worse than this trip has been. If this be so, our sight seeing people could not take a more pleasant and interesting trip than this. We ran fortwo days just along the West India Islands in the Cari- bean sea, within a few miles of thie is- lands, and there tool met with a great surprise. Instead of the low lands we are accastomed to on islands, the lands ev these are from one to five thousand feet high. While passing along by these islands the water was as placid asa lake, while up from this mighty sea shot these mountains, clad in perpetual verdure, Nothing could be more wonderfal or beautiful. * * * Truly, Thos. J. JARVIS. —__ > ana Water Sprouts IN TRANSYLVANIA.— Mr. John Jordan, who has just returned from Brevard, informs us of a water spout which fell on Tuesday afternoon, six miles west of that place. It strack the top of a mountain half a mile above the home of an old man, Gabriel Meuase, whose shop, in whch be was working at the time, was situated on a small branch. A little grandson ran to tell the old man that the water was comipg down asa flood, and he left, but re-entered to res- cue some tools. Ina moment the shop was overwhelmed, and washed down the torrent. The old man swam about twen. ty yards, when he was overwhelmed by water and drifting logs and drowned. The water came down tho stream iva perpendicular wall ten or twelve feet high, and swept everything iv its way, carrying off the bridges below, and all the fencee. The incident was local and limited.— Asheville Citizen. _—__- ao There were services at the Presby teri- an charch every day, last week, after Wednesday.

A Little Brownish-Black Cloud Devours the Lutire Landscape. {Birge Harrison in Harper's Magazine. | The air was stil] as death, and there was not a puff of wind nor a rag of cloud in the whold horizon. I observed, how- ever, that the sky had undergone a curi- ens change. There was no diminution of the blazing saulight, but the deep blue had been supereeded by a strange white glare that was nearly blinding, and the heat had increased rather than dimivish- ed. We saddled hastily, and were soon threading our way through the broiling labyrinth of sand-hills, and out on to the broad mesa aguiu, We had not gone more than x mile or to in the direction of Espanola when Joe, who had been glanc- ing about in all directions, suddenly re- marked, “There she comes!” and jumping off his burro, commenced tying him up behind an adjacent heap of large bowlders. We stared in ths direction he poiuted, but could discove: nothing aave the white sky, the hills, and the saudy plains. As we looked, however, we gradually became aware that far down the valley two or three of the hills had entirely dis- appeared, and, stranger still, that more of them were beng eaten up under our eyes! A little biownish-black cloud, no bigger than one’s hand, was the monster that was thus devouring .the laudscape. We hastily secured the animals in the shelter of the rocks, and came back to jook. The cloud had already spread quite across the plain and vally, and was ap- proaching with frightful rapidity, It was vot more than five miles away. It swept along toward us, with constantly acceler- ating speed, a bellyivg, portentour black wall of dust, that sent long waiving fing- ers up tothe zenith. Mile after mile of mesa, and hill after hill disappeared in its vast maw, until there was only one rise left. This was swallowed up, and then, almost before we could seek shelter, the storm was upon us with a shriek and a blast like the breath from a caunon. In an instant everything was obscured. I peered through my half. closed lids, aud could pot see a sage-brush whicl I had noticed the moment before only a few feet distant. The air was full of the dull roar of the battling winds. We conld barely hear the sound of our voices when we shouted. Everything had been wiped away from the fice of the earth, anda blur of gray dust was all that remained. [could barely distivguish those nearest me through this strange mist. The worst of it lasted for about half an hour, Ishould think, but the air was still full of dust when we arrived home about two hours later. Such isa New Mexican sandstorm, We found all our household goods cover- ed with a mat of from half aw inch to an ineh of an impalpeble powder, which bad sifted in throngh every crack and cranny. Nothing had escaped. ne Taking Down the Professor. The Rev. Dr. Ritchie, of Edinburgh, theugh a very clever man, once met lis match. When examining a student as to the classea‘he attended, he said: ‘IT uns derstand you attend the class for mathe- matics?” “Yes.” “How many sides has a circle?” “Two,” said the student. “Indeed! What ace they?” What a laugh in the court the student’s answer produc- ed when he promptly said: ‘‘An inside andan outside.” The doctor next inquir- ed: “And you sttend the moral philoso- phy class, alsof? “Yes.” “Well, you doubtless heard Isctures op various sub- jects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect?” “Yes.” ‘Does an effect go before a cause?” “Yes.” “Give me an in- stanee.” “A barrow wheeled. by a man.” The doctor hastily sat down and propesed no more questions. ae A New Military Shield. Some interesting experiments have been carried oat at Ryde. Eugland, wich anew arm of defence. The implement is simply a steel shield to be fixed on the muzzle of a rifle as a bayonet is fixed. It covers one superficial foot, weighs three pounds, can be easily slung under the arm aud does not appear to be unwieldy.

Your business now is to acquire knowledge, and you need not be anxious to display yours, especially to older men, but al- ways try to learn of them. Never say to another what it would be unpleasant to have him say to you. Remember that good manners are of great importance. Manners should be frank and easy, with dignity. Avoid fawning, toadying ways as you would the foul fiend. Never fawn toa prince or swagger to a peasant. Be cour- teous and manly every where and to every body. Let your manner be quiet; nothing is more underbred than a flurrfed address, with a face wrinkled all over with grin- ning delight. The countenance can express pleasure and welcome without idiotic contortions, and when these appear, whether in the son of aduke ora drayman, they are intensely vulgar. You cannot have good manners in the drawing room if your habitual manners is bad; the habit will betray you; let the habit be always good. Far better that you look frigid even, than that yon degrade your countenance with silly hilarity. Be a gentleman, feel like a gentleman, and you will look and act like one. Sometimes you will be neglected, and your vanity may feel wounded. Never let this annoy you. Be absolutely sure that in due time all will come right, and that you will bave all the consideration that you merit. Noone can do you any permanentinjury but yourself. The world is so constituted that itis vot in men’s power to withhold respect from any lofty character, real ability and good couduct. You may be invited to a ball or divver because you dance or tell a good story; but po one since the time of Queen Eliza- beth has been made acabinet minister or a lord chancellor for such reasons. OS OO Moving a Ninety-Foot Chimney. [Scientific American.] One of the most difficult transfers of heavy structures yet attempted was suc- cessfully completed in Salem, Mass, a few weeks ago, where a brick factory chimney, 90 feet high and ouly 6% feet in diameter at the base, was taken up and moved, with the aid of six men and two horses, 100 feet, and sately deposited upon a new foundation. The chimney was nearly cylindrical, the upper diameter being 5 feet; and it was estimated that a sway of 3 inches from the vertical would bring it to the ground,'so that great precautions were taken to prevent lateral movement in transferring it to the platform on which it was to be transported. A cage was first built around the chimney, consisting of horizontal timbers supporting shores, which extended 23 feet up the sides of the shaft, and were reenforced by a second set of shorter ones beneath. After these were in place, and well secured, holes were cut through the brick work and need- les inserted, under which 34 jack-screws were placed, and the shoring and shaft raised together high enough to allow a rough platform to be constructed under them, and rollers to be set in place. The platform, which was of strong plank, ex- tended to the new position of the chimney, and by leveling it carefully, and employ- ing a large numben of rollers, the load, weighing 130 tous, was easily moved into place. ————- Sermonizing in New York affords an infinite variety of entertainments to churchgoers.

But, leaving joking apart, says Iron, it is not generally known—in fact, popular prejudice rather points the other way—that the last carriage ina railway train is the safest. There is no doubt that, if you are in the last carriage of the train, and especially at its rear, and another train rons into yours, you will probably not survive to tell the late of how the accident happened. But iv all other accidents you can conjure up as liable to occur, itis the safest. If there ie a head collision, there is nothing back of you to add force to the blow. If the earrige leaves the track and collides with a bridge or any obstruction ona side track, it will not bein your end. If the train is thrown down an embank- ment, there is nothing to land on top of you. Moreover, the rear part of (a train is the wost pleasant in traveling, for from it you can best observe the scenery. — OOS If fire breaks out among the pines of North Carolina, lhuudreds of men will emerge from arigion where it would seem that scarcely a dozen dwelt—every ove witha spade, a rake, a horn, or something.

I] suppose your feomment upon me, hia grown out of a lremark made by myself, when subjec’ed | to cross-exaniinatian by the. couusel on ithe other side. ‘The substance of what I stated, waa, that from experience had in ‘the Courts of North Carolina, I was in- duced ty believe it was hard fora North- ern man to obtain justice tn) that state; that] wanted to avoid all charaeter of litigation, and had so advised my agents. What Ishould have added to the re mark, and) what Lintended to add, was, lthat) this experience was not personal, fbut through, and by my agents, Cads and Stewart, both of whom represented to me that such was the case, and that it was useless for them to appeal to the courts, toredress any grievance they might suffer.

F, Boexreyr. The above letter is published with pleasure. It was the intention.of | the j writer to correct the insinustion , that] Mr. Buckley referred to, the tral, or arbitration then in progress, and to state that the ek had a broader and more general application; that it meant any northern man in any south-| ern Court. But Mr. Buckley denies that even that was his meaning, aad the WarcuMan is glad to set him right’ ome its “readers by his own explana- jon. : The arbitration was an exceedingly long and tedious affair, and this paper cannot be expected to go into the whole of the testimony, or any part of it; but asa matter of news gives the finding of the Committee. Mr. Buck- ley was allowed five thousand dollars damage to the mine, and two thousand dollars deficit in. accounts:. The testi- mony in the case was damaging to the agent, as the allowance of seven thou- sand dollars must prove, but it is im- timony,.as it would require muck more space than is at itsdisposal. - = ~ NEXT TERM OF THE COURTS.

'In the month of September, 1883, my } health failed by reason of overwork while hattending the state legislature. I was at ileneth induced to try Swift's Specitic and was greatly benefitted. When I began jusing it could scarecly take a step, but lrealized that Swift's Specific had contriba- ted in a large degree to my gradual resto- ration to health aud strength.

Its source is 13,700 feet above the sea level, and it drains the whole Teton and yellow- The scenery along its banks from its source to where it flows into the Columbia is of the grandest nature, For 1,000 miles across Idaho and Oregon it has cut a passage through basaltic rock, leav- ing in some places walls over 1,200 feet in height on both sides, forming deep canons. The first cataract on the river is the American Falls, crossed by the Oregon Short Line, twenty-five miles west of Pocatello. These falls are forty feet high, and were it not for the others would be considered very grand. Seventy miles below the American Falls the rocky walls be- gin to rise, forming the great gorge which adds so much to the beauty of the scenery. Thirty miles down the river are the win or Upper Shoshone Falls, a cataract with a leap of 180 feet. The falls here exceeds that of Nia- gara by thirty-two feet while the enormous volume and great clearness of the water gives ita beauty not possessed by the eastern wonder. The Twin Falls gets its name from a rock standing exactly in the middle of the river onthe brink, which cuts the water as it pours over, dividing it in- to two falls. Three miles below the Twin Falls are the Shoshone Falls proper. The river flows along to the brink with- out adecline, us common in most fulls, and is not over 600 feet wide, but very deep and cold. Just before it leaps over the great falls the wa- ter is broken into rapids, or cascades, by dashing down fifteen feet over in- numerable boulders and rocks. ‘Three great rucks rise out of the river at the entrance to the rapids and Cedar I land ju t b-'ow, while Bell’, Wal- gamott’s and Pulpit Rock, turn the waters into various channels. One channel pours its torrent over what is known as Bridal Veil Falls, falling in silvery threads resembling a long veil spread out in the sunbeams, the light being reflected ina rainbow from the spray. The main channel turns into an awful abyss 210 feet deep. 8 a 2 te The way Small Expenditures Count, Five cents each morning. A mere small trifle. Twenty-five cents a week.

Seven! years ago Lord Granville Gordon, a cel- | ebrated amateur cricketer, a qualified | gentleman jockey. and an impecunious ounger brother of the present Marquis of Huntly, wedded Roe's eldest daugh- ter as an heiress. Uniortunately the father postponed the marriage settle- ment, but she was regarded as having a large interest in his will. The million- aire parent made a handsome annual allowance to the happy pair, who lived in fine style at No. 1 Gaeen Anne street, Cavendish square, London.

My Lord was dicted to vers de societe, and was a eat favorite at clubs and receptions.

But in the midst of his poetry-life the family failure came and the couple became prosaically penniless. About a month ago alittle shop, as daintily got- ten up as the volume containing those verses, was opened at No. 45 Park street, Mayfair, London, in which passers by were attrated by tasteful bonnets and delicious samples of hats that garnish- ed the window. The wares were taste- ful, neat, elegant, and the price suited to meet all means. Above the window was inscribed the name of “Lierre,” and still higher the royal arms, with the inscription, “Under Royal Patronage.” Fashionable London immediately be- gan displaying great interest in Lierre’s nnet shop. It was known that Lierre was the badge of the great Huntly family, and soon it was learned that the pretty, charming Lady Granville Gordon was lessee of the shop and de- signer of its tempting contents, having become under reverse of fortune the pioneer of self-reliance among the ladies of London. The Princess of Wales ordered ten bonnets the first day Lierre’s opencned, and as any action of the Princess is al- ways dutifully followed by society.

San Dominoo, July. —A sad affair happened here on Sunday evening, June 28, by which John Platt, a car- penter, belonging in Yonkers, New York, was killed. Platt had come to this city to conduct repairs on a build- ing. He took up quarters at the ho- tel San Pedro. Among the guests at the hotel waa ex-president Sesariv who had returned to San Domingo from exile about three months ago, a pardon haviag been granted to all ex- iles and public offenders. The author- ities suspected that Sesario was again engaged in plots against the Government, and on the evening of the 28th ult. sent for officers and a guard of nine men, armed with mus- kets to arrest him. The officers en- tered Sesario’s room, on the ground floor of the hotel, and ordered him to rurrender, Lustead of complying, the ex-president drew his revoluer and | lfired. Hethen blew out the light and escaped from the room. ‘The of- | ficers and guard fired at him, but none, of the bullets struck the object of the'r aim, One, however, struck Sesario’s wife, inflicting a slight wound. Ses- ario rushed up-stairs and blowing out the only light burning in the hall, managed to elude his pursuers, who had followed him to the upper floor. Mr. Platt, who was lying in a hain- mock in his room, got up to ascertain the cause of the great noise in thie house. As he opened the dour and stepped out into the hall the guard saw him, and in the darkness presu- muskets were instantly raised and fircd at the unfortunate man, at a dis- tance of only twenty feet. Five balls struck Platt, two of them passing through his body and lodging in the the wall, and another striking bim in the throat and breaking the spinal column, The killing caused considerable com- motion in the American colony. Al! the Americans and many Dominicans attended the funeral. —————~2-_____ Ice Water.—The latest theory ooncerning Bright's disease and other affections of they kidneys is that they are due to the immoderate use of ice water and other chilled beverages.

A significant feature in the riots in Cleveland, which is becoming a familiar one in all similar disorders, is the fact that the lawless element is of foreign origina, In Cleveland the rioters are almost exclusively Poles and Bohemians, so largely so that the speeches at the meetings are en- tirely in the languages of those peo- ple. It may be said to be character- istic of the labor trouble of the day that they are instigated and conduc- ted by foreigners, and this faet adds strength to the position of those who hold that the nation should discour- age the importation of droves of igno- rant and vicious foreigners who are willing to work cheap because their circumstances are desperate. This class easily becomes a nuisance and a menance to the community where it is introduced. It breaks down the becomes discontented and lawless. sae A prisoner, tried before a judge tor larceny, had admitted his guilt when apprehended, but at the trial was de- fended with great persistency by able counsel. “Gentlemen,” said the judge to the jury, “the prisoner says he is guilty. His counsel says he is not. You must decide between them.” Then, after a pase, he added: “There is just one thing to remember, gen- tlemen, The prisoner was there, and his counsel wasn’t.” a eee Educating the Rich at the Expense of the Poor. Greenville (S. C.) New:. The war against colleges and universi- ties supported by the tax-payers is spread- ing through the South. The newspapers tell us that there is rebellion against those institutions in Georgia, North Carolina, South Caroliua aud Virginia. We are deligtited to know it. No of these States has the right to spend money for “higher educatiou” because no one of them has a decevt system of pub- lic schools or is able to pav its debts. Georgia is in better condition than the others, but she is not able to honestly spend money for superfluities. The fact that the University of Virginia, sixty yeara in continuous existence, founded One by Thomas Jefferson, possessing a world- wide reputation and liberally endowed, still draws a pension froma bankrupt and dishonored State is enough to make the tax-payers of the other States hesitate about hauding such an eucumbrace down tu posterity along with the State debt. When the States were rich, indepen - dent and gathering taxes on thousands of slaves and chiefly from the wealthy, State colleges and universities were appropriate But while the States are poor, heavily in debt, with all their slave proporty swept away and the burdeu of taxation bearing heavily on the poor, expenditure for in- stitutions for higher education practical- ly open only to people of means is a sin- ful, unjust, wanton waste and a wrong to creditors, tax-payers and the thousands of children who are growing up ignorant, and therefore helpless for themsetves and tools for evil, for the lack of common schools instruction. Let the fight spread every where, and let it be maiutained un- til it is successful. oD a Who Has a Claim on the Canteen? Correspondence Washington Tribune.

From a robust woman | was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by this time was cat- ing out my very life, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift's Spectic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improye, and this won- derful medicine has brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, Lam _ perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person a.together, I can not feel too grateful for this wonderful re- covery, for Iam satistied if it had not been tor Swift’s Specific I would have been in my grave to-day.

From the Wilmington 8tar. | In the July number of The United Service, the magazine of the Army and : Navy, there isa capital paper upon '“The Gettysburg Campaign,” by, Lieut. Col. Theodore A. Dodge of the | U. S. Army, Doubtless the aaticle: | contains errors but the spirit is excel- | lent. Whilst it is apparent that it is the work of. a Federal soldier, it is. equally apparent that he strives to be’ fair and to realize the qualities and difficulties of the Southern armies. | It is very decidedly the fairest paper | on the war we have thus far read from | a Northern source, and is to be com- | mended for its liberal and apprecia- tive tone as well as for its Heel lability. The author goes back of the. Gettysburg battle and in his survey of , the whole field you are the better en-| abled to understand the difficulty that environed General Lee in_ his ag- | | gressive campaign. No Southern offi- | ‘cer who participated in the battle | ‘will hardly agree to all that it said, | © | but all will appreciate and applaud | | the evident effort of the writer to deal | | with the greatest! battle of the war, | ‘and one of the greatest battles of the | century in a spirit of candor and fair- | Iness. Whatever the errors that may | ‘be detected in the account, it will be] ‘conceded that Col. Dodge’s ,paper is | a most readable and instructive con- | ‘tribution to the great mass of war lit- | ‘erature that is accumulating. | The interested reader will be struck I with the fact that Col. Dodge does not ‘attempt to evade or gloss the com- | | pleteness of Gen. Lee’s victories. For | ‘instance, of McClellan he says that he | “had moved into the Peninsular, | where, after three months of useless ‘struggle, was forced to retreat having [fought a dozen bloody battles, to a pew base on the James.” The reader of McClellan’s and other papers will ‘be impressed with the candor of Col. Dodge in contrast with the disingenu- ‘ousness and aetual falsifying of the Federal writers in The Century Maga- zine. Col. Dodge represents McClellan | as defeating Lee atSharpsburg. We do not think that he is exactly correct in 'this. Sharpsburg could not be claim- | . Lee stood ready to give battle a sec- ee ge ga ee ae | Meade to fight at Gettysburg.” i says that Lee will go into history and ‘ed asa Federal victory when Gen. | “urgent advice” that ‘determined He says Lee was unusually slow in his movements, but it “attributable to his lack of knowledge of our movements, due primarily to his being in hostile territory, butin almost equel measure to the absence of Stuart.”’ The absence of Stuart was most unfortunate. He was the eyesof the invading army, but he had allowed himself to become separated from the main army for some seven or eight days, and had to make a long deteur to get back. All that time Lee was without cavalry. We have no doubt that Gettysburg would. never have been fought, or if fought would have been differently fought if Stuart had been with Lee. Col, Dodge gives clear statemens of what, occurred on the three days of battle. He shows where there were mistakes made. According to him the surroundings of Lee were such he was forced to fight. His men expect- ed it, but he adds, “Lee guaged bet- ter than his men the fighting qualities of the foe.” He shows what tremen- dous obstacles and difficulties Lee had to contend with on the second and third day, but he was “impelled by the temper of his men to boldly at- tack.,’ Longstreet was very slow on the second day, and Lee rather blun- dered, he thinks, in his plan of the third day’s attack. He says he ought to have concentrated “all his forces along the line of Seminory Ridge.” Lee was mislead by Evwell’s confi- dence in his ability to capture Culp’s Hill. But if he discusses Lee’s er- ror he immediately says: ‘However admirable Lee’s tactics generally were, however easily he stands chief among the soldiers of our Civil War he was here open to criticism.” He says af- ter the fight it is easy to criticise when we have charts of the field, ample materials for investigation, “the ben- efit of the research and acumen of the best military judges,” and “viewing the field as we do a problem on the chess board,” with perfect knowledge of numbers, &c. He says we may now pass judgment on Lee’s general- ship; but if we stood where stood it would be altogether another task. He will be “enrolled upon the short first page of Captains of the World.” He also recognizes the splendid ge- pius ef Stonewal] Jackson and more |ond day, which was not accepted by | McClellan. He is sufficiently plain spoken even when dealing with his ‘own people. Referring to Gen. Lee ‘up tothe time of his invasion of Pennsylvania, which he says was ‘contrary to Lee’s judgment, but the the Davis regime insisted,—avd Lee | decided upon invasion’”’—Col, Dodge | says: | “}1i8 carrer bad been one of al- | most nninterrupted victory. He had | driven McClellan from Richmond. | He had outgeneraled Pope. He had invaded the North, and, though for- ced back, had defeated Burnside with fearful slaughter at Marye’s Heights. He had just won by sheer skill (or lack of it) a campaign against Hook- er, in which he numbered less than half the force of the Army of the Po- tomac. No wonder his rugged, rag- ged veterans felt invincible.” Col. Dodge not only bears testimo- ny to the fine generalship of Lee and the splendid fighting qualities of “the boys in gray,” but he also bears wit- ness to the genera the Confedorates when Lee invaded Pennsy|vania. as all Confederates know. what he says: - «Jt must be said in honor of the f e r We quote land that, beyond contributions levied ‘n accordance with strict legal war- fare, no more than accidental harm ’ fiable, so much that is ‘scription horrible might | wrought by should remem the midst of our own But if this interesting ‘read ip eunnection with happy homes.” }gun you will ‘ed at the un land good conduct of the Sou lers was above praise. | We do not propose to follow Col | Dodge in his v | sion of the great ‘at Gettysburg. ‘we must refer.

We call Col. Dodge’s attention to the excellent map of Col. Batchelder —a‘ Northern officer. It will be seen we think, that Pettigrew’s command puched farther into the Federal lines than did any portion of Picket’s men. He knows the value of the map refer- red tu. It cost years of correspond- ence with men on both sides who fought in the battle to prepare it. We also call Col. Dodge’s attention to the great Juss sustaived by Petti- grew’s men in killed and wounded. If he will write to Capt. Young, of Pettigrew’s staff, at Charloston,S.

Imboden aboat Julia Jackson being ‘‘still in long dresses at the time of the first battle of Manassas, and the de- nial of General Hampton, as to this point to be reconciled ? The former in his ac- count of that battle published in the Cen- tury, speaks of being at Jackson’s tent just after the battle—probably the next morning—and break fasting with the Gen- eral and Mrs. Jackson, then on a visit to her husband; and that, while breakfast was being prepared he (Gen. Imboden) amased the baby by tossing her on his knee. Gen. Hampton quotes the stato- ment of other authorities to the effect that little Julia was uot born till long atter that battle. We take it, in the face of Impoden’s positive declaration, Hamp- ton’s authorities are obliged to be wrong. — Asheville Citizen. Gen. Imboden is wrong. He has ev- idently drawn largely from his imagi- nation—a weakness with him, Rev. Dr. Dabney, of Virginia, (now of the University of Texas), who was Chaplain to Jackson, and who has also written a life of that brave hero, says in a card published in a Texas paper, that Gen. frabatents statement is cor- rect with two exceptions: First, that Mrs. Jackson was not there at the time named, and second, that Miss Julia Jackson was not born until more than a year later. Dr. Dabney was intimately associa- ted with Gen. Jackson as companion, staff-officier and spiritual advisor. He was in position to know and he says Gen. Imboden is wrong. Is it not strange that Gen. [mboden will indulge such flights of imagination? He must know that it destroys confidence in the accu- racy of other statements he may make. Since the above was put in type the writer has seen in the August Century a correction of this error, by Col. Doug- lass, and a supplementary note by the editor, as follows: “Soon after the appearance of his ar- ticle in the May Century, General Im- boden, in a letter which came too late for the July number, wrote to correct the two misstatements described above. He says that after the battle of Bull Run the camp was visited by the fami- lies of many officers, and that he had always supposed the child he saw at Stonewall Jackson's quarters to have been the General's daughter, Julia.” Tue Gray.—In the North Carolina State Guard there has not beena full adoption of the regulation uniform. The blue and the gray are iutermingled, some- times in the same regiment; unfortunate in effect, probably, but strikingly elo- quent as sowing the practical blending of the colors that were ounce opposed in hos- tile attitnde. We have been so little on the ground during parades and drills that we can speak dclinitely of only one regiment, the 2d, which isa full repre- sentative of the gray. No ove will deny the fine effect uf the color; and no one will deny tothe men the enjoyment of the enobling associations connected with that historie color, In the light of both the past few years and of the eloquent present, there can be vo suggestion of disloyalty because the boys love the gray, Itis the color in which their fathers or their brothers fought and died. They cherish it with affectionate or reverential feeling. And their minglivg with the regiments or the companies clad in the blue is the constant reminder that they are brothers; that the blue and the gray are one; that the one is no more the sig- nificant sigu of loyalty in the one than in the other. AJl honor to the gray; all houor the blne.—Asheville Citizen. It is certainly commendable that there has not been a full adoption of the regulation uniform and wi many there isa feeling strongly antagonis- tic to its adoption. This is not and must not be considered as_ sectional hate, but is merely a matter of associa- tion and one that appeals to the heart; bringing back to memory dear ones who have rested-pigh» quarter af a centu- ry under the green sod of old Virginia. It is worse than ungrateful not to re- member them. How the sight of that gray uniform must stirin the heart eelings which are ennobling; which tend to a truer and nobler putriotism! But the tendency of the times ‘is for Weak sentimental h; an abasing obeisance to riche whims. Away with it! Give our people—the young ple—a clear and forcible insight into the causes which led to the war, and teach them that their fathers were honest, conscientious, brave soldiers; that they were not “rebels and traitors,’ ’ as they are called, but fought fora just cause. Teach them that it is not treason to rever the memory of those lant men, and women too, who raved the terrors of the most devasta- ting of modern wars. The children of the north are taught punctiliousty all the details, and can speak intelligently as tothe causes lead- ing to,and with familiarity of the leading generals taki part in the war. Inthe South itis not so. Not one boy in twenty, at the of fifteen, can answer intelligently a question touching the origin of the war, the conduct of any campaign, or who is at all familiar with the histor of any of the great actors on either side. Shame on the youth, the press, the teacher! The wish of the people of the South to be considered as entirely recovered, reconstructed and perfectly cemented in sentiment, as well as in the tout ensemble mosaic of our nation- al map, is somewhat to blame for this condition of affairs; while poverty and conservatism lent a share in bringing it about. It is a sad, shameful truth, and is hard enough to bear without the sandwich of gushing sentimentality.

When it is remember- ed that Virginia to the north, and South Carolina to the south of us are going, it will add force to the remarks of our able correspondent. Tarzoro, N. C., Aug. 3, 1885. Mr. Editor : It is with a feeling of gratification that I note that your own valuable pa- r, as well as some others over the State, among which I particularly no- tice the Raleigh News-Observer and the Wilmington Star, are beginning this early both editorialy and by communi- cations, to set forth the very cogent reasons why North Carolina should be represented at the American Exhibition in London next year. I believe that you are but voicing the sentiment of the intelligence of North Carolina east and west. The people see that with the foothold already gained the State can- not afford to relax her endeavors, and I think that sur excellent Board of Ag- riculture, with whom the matter rests, will not be slow to see the drift of pub- lic sentiment on this question and to govern themselves accordingly. And I understand with pleasure that his Ex- cellency, Governor Scales, who is ez- officio chairman of the Board, is highly in favor of making in London a com- plete and representative exhibit. In this he shows himself a worthy succes- sor of the broad-viewed, liberal-minded Jarvis, and fully awake to the impor- tance of steadily steering the Old North State bravely on without relaxation up- on the tidal wave of promeny and ad- vancement upon which his illustrious predece.sor so effectively launched her. The progressive spirit so lately and completely awakened in our State is a source of earnest congratulation to all her sons. Nothing has done more to further this spirit than the wise policy of the Department of Agriculture in advertising North Carolina to the world by frequent displays and exhibitions of her wonderful natural resources. Ex- ositions are great educators. At At- anta the State furnished her first sur- prise to the world. Following this up by the excel'eat exhibit made at Boston in 1883, she showed to the unemployed capital of New England what a broad and fruitful field for investment was to be found within her borders. At Ral- eigh next, in 1884, she again laid before her own people and the people of other States a collective and representative exhibit, by no means the least good re- sult of which was to show to many North Carolinians themselves for the first time what boundless wealth was to be found in their own State. It was a revelation to many of her own sons and led them to open their eyes for the first time to the wealth lying at their ver doors. Seeing then that the good work must go on, she placed that inimitable exhidit at New Orleans, which stood in that great Exposition among the elabo- rate exhibits of all her sister States without a peer! What a crowning glo- ry to all this would be a grand exhibit at the American Exhibition in London next year. The benefits to be reaped from these exhibitions cannot be esti- mated; the return for the investment cannot be computed. The State has gone in this direction so far and has taken such a stand that it cannot afford to relax its efforts. To do so would be disastrous. She has laid the foundation stone of this structure of her success, built the grand superstructure piece by piece, and it now only remains to place the roof and capstone upon the com- pleted work. Will it be wise to leave it thus? Can she afford it? The senti- ment of the people demands that the crowning work be done, and this means that she must show to the people across the water next year what ake is and what she has. The opportunity offered by the Lon- don Exhibition is one that has not been equalled by any of which the State has so far taken advantage. To be able to show her great natural resources, her immense water-powers, her healthful climate and her varied soil to a coun- try over-crowded with population and and teeming with wealth, seeking pro- fitable investment, is but to show the way to capital and immigration into her borders ; and the way once shown the tide will surely set in. In the city alone in which this exhibit will be placed five million souls “live and move and have their being.” Having then, already at hand, a com- plete and representative collection with nothing remaining bit to secure the space, put three or four experienced men in charge and ship the exhibit across the Arlantic. Can the State af- ford to be absent from among the other American States at London next ear, when the world will be led eerie to seek her there, and not only to seek her but to seek and expect the best ex- hibit of all within the confines of her space? We have made our reputation before the world. We have given the world reason to expect great things of us. The public spirit of the people of hott stand by our reputation. x. i Or ro The ears papers are indulging in some plain language as regards “gener- al orders No’s 5 and 7,” issued by Gent eral Jones during the encampment at Asheville.

TD Or “GENERAL ORDER NO. 5” A Rush of Gush on the Encampment—the Soldiers do not Stampede—the Press In- dignant. {State Chronicle.} ASHEVILLE, N. C., July 24.—Yesterday morning, immediately upon the receipt of the news of the death of Gen. Grant, the flags at the headquarters of the North Carolina State Guard at Camp Scales were half-masted. This afternoon the following general order was read to the troops: General Order No. 5.—The comman- der-in-chief is pained to announce to the State Guard the death of Gen. Ulyesses S. Grant of the United States Army, after a lingering illness at Mount McGregor, New York, at eight minutes past 8 v’clock yesterday morning. The nation mourns the loss of the dead soldier, whose lofty patriotism, nn- swerving devotion to the cause of the Union in the late war, signal display of military gevias and great achievements as a leader of armies won fer him the ad- miration of the world and wrought his name iu letters of undying light upon the highest seroll of martial fame. Our brethren of the North, grateful for his pre- eminent public services, hold him in dear and affectionate remembrance and breathe his name with tokens of love and of grat- itude, as well as with memorials born of respect and esteen, while we of the South mustever regard the great warrior as one whose undaunted courage, devotion to duty, fidelity to public trast and splen- did exhibitions of soldierly ability have justly earned for him the proud position which has been accorded him by all men. But chiefly may we, as men of the South, pay to his memory the tribute of our re- spect for this cause, that at Appomattox he displayed towards the Seuth’s great chieftain and his brave followers a spirit of generosity aud wagnanimity towards a fallen foe never equaled in the annals of war. Standing with our brethren of the North, as it were, in the presence of the silent dead, beneath the stainless folds of the flag of ourcommon country. we may well forget all but this, that U.S. Grant, was one whose valor and generos- ity bave added ne lustre to the profes- sion of arms and made yet more. rexpen-— dent the name of the Amejican soldier. As a mark of respect to lismemory the flags at Camp Scales will be displayed at half-mast until retreat to-morrow, and | during the hous which may be appoiut- ed for his funeral duties ia camp will be- By order of the commander-in-chief, JOHNSTONR Jones. Adjutant Gen’! State of North Carolina. The Charleston “News and Courier,” and other leading papers very properly call this an “‘extraerdinary” order! General Jones is mistaken, we think, Gevernor Scales, whois the “Comman- der-in-Chief” of the State Guard was in Raleigh when the order was issued: and although the Adjutant General wight have authority to act as the Governor’s Proxy, we doubt if Gen. Alfred M. Scales, would speak of “devotion to duty,” and fidelity to publie trusts,” on the part of the man under whose four years of Mili- tary Rale, and eight years of Civil Mis— rule the American Repablic came neare: to ship-wreck than it had ever come be- fore, or willever agaiu come, we hope, Gen. Scales would not forget the “Credit Mobilier,” the “Whiskey Riug Steal,” the ‘Robeson Naval Robberies,” the Belknap Scandal,” the Bull-Pap Pres- evts,” the outrages under the Enforce- ment Acts, the-use of the Bayonet to eject the Legislatures of South Carolina and Louisiana, the Canby Governments: the appointments of alien and cruel rulers in North Carolina! It is incorrect also to say that Grant’s action at Appomattox was ‘-never equal - ed in the annals of warefare.” He knows that History can show scores of instances of greater waguavimity. Even the Confederate Authorities sent. 18,000 sick and wounded Yankee Soldiers threugh the lines—a year beforn the war ended-becanse Grant refused to exchange prisoners (perferriug to let two of his own men die in prison than tarn loose ONE poor balf-starved Rebel!) What greater magnanimity thau this? The South said—“If we keep these poor men they willdie. 1f we send them home they will get well, and come back and fight us. Their own government don’t care. They are mainly ignorant foreig- ners—Dbought by a “Bounty” (1,800) any- how. Let them die! But Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis, much more humane and magnanimous said—“no, rather than let them die like sheep on our hands, we will ship them home without any equiva- lent!” And thus many of us who were being tortured ou three erackers and a morsel of meat, every twenty four hours, saw steamer after steamer loaded with Graut’s men, coming back free! aud no sort of ex- change! There was ‘“‘imagnauimity!” The Ashevill Citizen Pleads Haste in Pal liation of General Order No. 5. Some of the press have been, we think, needlessly severe in their comments ov the General Ordes of Adjutant Gen. Joves announcing the death of Gen. Grant. It should be remembered that the order was prepared at once, amid the confusion of a thousave duties; more than that, that it was prepared on the impulse of the mo— ment. In the presence of a dead enemy, or one who had once been so, it was very natural, unless animosity were irreconci- lable, that the feeling should for the mo- ment rebound to the other extreme, and unmeasured generosity take the place of hate. It might bean exaggeration of the sentiment that iu the grave all eumities are forgotten. The language may have been “alittle too gushing,” and ‘not in the best taste,” when the regrets for the dead soldier are expressed with too much forgetfulness of some of the history of the past, more deliberate consideration of the subject might have corrected this error. But this wasan error “that leaned to virtue’s side.” A generous enemy connot regret that he has aimed to do full justice to a dead foe, if such he is remembered to be; far more honerable thau to go back on the past in search ef that which will revive and keep alive bitter memories. OO _ Two Errors. Mr. Dana, in his remarkable review of Gen. Grant’s career, says that Grant was never defeated and that he was too much always fur Sidney Johnston and Lee. This is not accerding to facts. Up to his fall Johnston was victorious. He had driven Grant’s army back more than two miles—some whe fought say three or more —and was ina fair way of completely destroying it when Johnston fell and died. There is net the slightest doubt of this and no fair minded Northern man will devy it who is informed. As to Lee, it took Grant eleven months to wear out his great rival. Grant’s reports show that he lost more men than Lee com- mauded. Lee foiled Grant in every as— sault he made until the latter had crossed the James River. At Gaines’ Mill, Swin- ton says that Grant hurled his immense force, four deep we believe, against Lee's attenuated lines, and in one hour 12,000 of the Federals lay bleeding aud dying on the field. Grant tried to make another charge bat his men would nune of it. They absolutely refused to obey the voice of their commander, but all stood immo- bile, to use Swintou’s phrase. He says perhaps no sach scene was ever witness- ed in the history of wars. A General standing in the midst of an overwhelm - ing force and ordering them to charge and not a man heeding the order. Grant had to move on as he had done. It was a great blander because he was not com- pelled to fight, aud it was a great defeat. Wil. Star.

The White House is closed except to those invited ov business. Cabinet will leave to attend the funeral turn until about the first of September, but will go from the funeral to the woods of northern New York for a months vaca- tion. During the month of August Wash- ington will be dull, but, owing to the new rules limiting leaves of absence the nam- ber of clerks in the various Goyernment Offices is larger this sammer than usual, and the work in all Departments is better and more promptly performed than has been known in recent times Notwithstanding the fact that Wash- ington 1s second this sammer only to Chi- cago in the highest recorded temperature, the city seems to be growing in favor as a summer home. Last week both the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Whitney, and Gen. Logan, purchased residences here, each paying $30,000. Gen. Logan bought & very large and substantial but old fash- ioned house in the suberbs of the city. Mr. Whitney’s purchase is nearly a mile 17 rooms and a farm. He will move to it immediately. The elections which will take place in Virginia, New York and Ohio next fall are watched very closely here. The chance of securing Democratic control of the Fiftieth Congress are considered possible thongh not probable Ifa Republican is elected or appointed in Oregon to fill the vacaucy now existing, the Senate of the Forty ninth Congress will contain forty - two Republicaus and thirty-four Demo- crats, the former having a majority of eight: To overcome this majority the Democrats will have to hold all their present force and secure four additional seats. These, with the Vice Presideut’s casting vote will enable them to carry threugh party measures. With the Forty-niuth Congress will ex- pire the terms of nine Democratic Sena- tors from the States of Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. There is no doubt about any of these States returning Democrats except Neva- da, aud Senator Fair's personal popalari- ty is almost sufficient to count apon his re-election. Thus may reasonably be anticipated no less fiom the States already held. At the same time the terms of Sixteen Re- publican Senators from the following States will expire: California, Couneeti- cut; Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jer- sey, New York, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and Wiscousin. The Demecrats ought to secare Seuators from Virg:nia, Olio and New York. Not counting Ohio and New York they would have to gaip three other seats to make a tie inthe Senate and four to secure a majority. In Indiana there is evry pro- bability that a Democrat will suececd Senator Harrison, and in New Jersey, Connecticut aud Wiscousin there are fight- ing chances. With the control of the Senate by the Democrats both branches of Congress will be fully in aecord with the Administra- tiou, and the work of purifying every branch of the General Government can be prosecuted without farther opposition. Ip Ohio the Republican ticket has been nominated but the Democrats have pot yet held their couvention and nothing can be predicted as to whom they will putin nomination for Governor. They have an orportunity to redeem the State aod elect a Democratic Sevator in place of Mr. Sherman, but whether they will avail themselves of it remains to be seen. ><> STRANGE, isn’t it, that since Grant's death the lightning has struck both the cottage where his remains are lying and the proposed site of his tomb in Riverside Park.—News- Observer.

Our readers and thousands of Carolin- ians all through the State will be deeply pained to learn of the death of Capt. Randolph A. Shotwell, editor of the Farm- er and Machanic and of the Chronicle. Capt. Shotwell felt somewhat indispos- ed yesterday noon, bat upto last evening, fe indisposition had not assumed a seri- seus hature., During the night he grew I worse and this morping (31st) at 9 Welock is one so well known, go highly esteemed, and whois stricken down in the apparent fullness of healih, we ave appalled. The disease that carried him off, it is sald, was iu the nature of rheumatism of the bowels, perhaps involving the heart. Capt. Shotwell’s career is too well known to ueed extended comment in this hurried notice, Ata very tender age he enlisted in the Confederate army, aud mantally followed the Stars and bars to the bitter ment of four years inthe Albany peniten- tary, always, however, maintaiuing his innocence and refusing to accept a release based on bending his knee to the haud that had smitten him. Capt. Shotwell was a magnificent speci- meu of manhood, was more than six feet tall, with a fine and well proportioned figure, weighing about 200 pounds, and with remarkably handsome features. He had never married, but asa dutiful son contributed to the support of his father’s family. Capt. Shotwell had hardly reach- ed his 40th year when be was called so suddenly to juin his old comrades in bat- tle in the distant land. May he rest well after life’s brief but hard experience. ~ News-Observer. Sunday News-Observer, All day yesterday the remaing of Capt. R. A. Shotwell lay in state in the rotuda of the capitol. The casket is of metal, in imitation of rosewood, and its handles are of massive silver. The casket rests upon a bier, whose base is concealed by evergreens aud magnolia leaves. Over the casket is thrown the Governor's head- quarters flag, of dark blue silk, with the coat-of-arma of the State in its centre. At the head is draped the Confederate “battle flag,” under which the dead sol- dier 80 often marched. On top of the State flag is a wreath of pure white flow- ers. On the main doors of the capitol] mourning is displayed at the door of the State library and at the door of the de- partment of agriculture.

I was at worn ashoe. Hope had almost Ictt me. Swift’s Specific was suggested, and I commenced its use at once. From the very first I began to feel better. I have taken 36 bottles, and the shudows which had darkened my life for 28 years have all been dissipated. The effect of the medicine has been wonderful indeed. Today I am able to attend to all my farming interests and walk from one to five miles a day. I am satisticd that the disease is entirely broken up, and henceforth I am to be free from those ter- rible apprehensions and suffering which formerly made my life miscrable.

The geveral scope of the company will be to buy up land and to-resell it in small par- cela by a system of annual payments. In so doing the company will, it is hoped, meet the particular wants of several class- es of people—such for instance as the following : (1) communities of agricultu- ral laborers, each of whom would own separate plots, but who would be able to use horses, plows, ete., in common. (2) Small farmers, williug to farm holdings of not more than thirty acres. (3) Trades- men and other immigrants from neighs boring towns wishing to add to their resources by various kinds of petite cul- ture market gardening, bee keeping, poultry breeding, and the like. Itis an excellent scheme and its progress deserves to be watched with close aud practical interest.—London Correspondence. “No person can express sur prise at President Cleveland's course. i has not deceived the country, and I am sat- istied he does not intend to, and it is with the country to stand by him or not.

And His Withering Reply to His De- | ceiver. New York, August 5.—The Times’ special from Cincinnati says : President Cleveland recently appointed a certain _judge in whose favor very numerously signed petitons had been filed. He soon afterward received a letter from a per- son who had signed the petition in fa- vor of his appointment. It declared ‘that the appointee was an unfit man for judge; that the community were ‘disgusted with the choice, and that the ‘writer and others had signed the peti- | tion merely to get nd of the applicant, | knowing his unfitness, and never dream- ‘ing that such a man had any chance i for appointment. | The President replied as follows : Wasurneaton, August 1.—Dear Sir: I have read your letter with amazement jand indignation. There is but one | mittigation of the perfidy which it dis- ‘closes, and that is found in the fact \that you confess your share init. I (know not whether you are a Democrat, ‘fess is the more unpardonable. The idea that this administration, which has pledged itself to give the people a bet- ter government and better officers, and ‘engaged in a hard fight with the bad elements of both parties, should be be- trayed by those who are worthy of im- | plicit trust, is atrocious, and such trea- be punished by imprisonment. Your | confession comes too late to be of any | immediate use to the public service, and [ can only say that while this is not the first time I have been deceived and misled by lying and treacherous repre- sentations, you are the first one that If any comfort is to be extracted from this assurance you are welcome to it. Yours truly, GROVER CLEVELAND. The Dred Scott Case. What Chief Justice Taney Decided. From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Dred Scott, who wasa slave in freedom, and used the United States Court on the ground of being a citi- zen of a different State from the one in which the defendant lived. He claimed his freedom because his mas- ter had taken him into territory made free by the act of Congress in what 13 mise. preme Court, and the final opinion affirmed by the Supreme Bench, only two Justices dissenting, was written by Chief Justice Taney. ion, givenin 1857, declared that because he was not a citizen. Taney did uot state, es often quoted, that in his opinion “the negro had no rights the white man is bound to respect”; but that more than a cen- tury previous to the declaration of independence negroes, whether slave or free, had been regarded “as beings of an inferior order, and altogother unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” This was stated asa matter ef history, and not as the opinion of the court or any mem- ber of it. <a - An exchange says: “It is worth re- membering that no newspaper is printed especially for one person any more than a hotel is built especially to please one guest. People who be- come greatly displeased with some- thing they find in a newspaper shonld remember that the very thing that displeases them is exactly the thing that will please somebody who has just as much interest in the paper as they have. This is for you, gentle reader. Cut it out and past it in your hat.” A citizen, speaking about news- paper criticism, said- he would not have a paper in his house unless it fully agreed with his idea of things. “Then,” remarked his elbow neigh- bor, “I fear you are destitute of read- in in your family.” Honest criticism is alway in order, and from it comes development and a nobler being. Tue CoINAGE OF THE SILVER DoLLAR.—It is confidently expected by the opponents of the silver dollar that its coinage will be stopped by Congress. ‘The recent loan of gold to the treasury by the banks of this city was made expressly upon the as- surance that the gold would be need- ed only until the meeting of Congress in December next, and this is the gen- eral opinion of bankers and merchants in this section of the country. It seems to us that any proposition looking to a stoppage of the coining of the silver dollar will probably meet the same fate in the new House of Representa- tives that it did in the last one.—J. Y. Sun. ‘but if you are, the crime which you con- | son by the people and party ought to, has so frankly owned his greivous fault.

A True View at Length From Yan- kee Land. | Hartford (Conn.) Times, July 28.] A Connecticut man who has been traveling for several months through ,the Southern States and seeing all parts of that section as well as all parts ‘of the population, has written from California his views of the colored | people of the South. It is a private letter and was never written with any idea of publication. The writter, like the gentleman to whom it is written, (a Hartford man,) is a Republican, ‘It is to be hoped that he takes too ‘sombre a view of the young men and ‘women of the colored people. But we ‘give a part of his letter ; “My Southern trip took in all the South except Texas and a portion of North Carolina. I could give you quires as to the status of the negro. The fact is, in a few words, that the negro of to-day who-has just arrived manhood is the most worthless of God’s creatures. He only works when he can- ‘not steal to live, and, with enough in his pocket to subsist for three days, he is rich. Education (what little there is) has only made him worse, for as soon as he can read and write ; he goes into politics—when not en- gaged in forging orders. The females are as bad, if not worse, than the men. Virtue is almost unknown among these young women, and the negro preachers are often the worst of all; they teach the damsels, even such as are not viciously inclined, the path of vice. Of course there are exceptions —but what I here say is true of the masses. Those who were formerly slaves are not included in my con- demuation. They are generally so- ber, industrious and good citizens. They were taught to work ; and very many of them (now middle aged er old men)own the houses they live in and have money laid away. It is of those who have come upon the stage since the war that I write; the young negroes, men and women, of 20 to 25. Their character and condition and the future that is involved, not only for them but for the South—for there are millions of them—present a grave question, which is occupying the anx- ioua thoughts of the wisest men of that section, As to the feeling toward the North that is entertained by Souther- ners, you can find but one sentiment —perfect kindness.” OO ———— A Ganpber Guipe.—In Germany, an aged blind woman used to be led to ‘church every Sunday by a gander. He would take her to the door of the pew where she sat. As soon as she was in ‘her place he would walk quietly out of church, and oceupy himself in the churchyard, feeding on the grass till 'the service was over and he heard the ‘people coming out of church. Then he would go to the pew of his old mistress and lead her home again. One day the ‘minister of the ehurch called to see this ‘person at her own home. He found ‘that she had gone out, and he express- ‘ed his surprise to her daughter that ‘they should let her go out alone. | “Oh, sir,” replied the daughter, “there is nothing to fe Mother is not alone; ithe gander is with her.” Strange attachments often spring | up between two animals, and the bond | is apt to be stronger if either one hap- | pens to be suffering from any misfor- itune. A gentleman once owned a ‘blind horse which occupied the same pasture with a flock of geese. A gan- der, seeing the difficulty of the horse in getting about, left his companions and attached himself to his blind friend. All day long they kept to- gethor, the gander cackling constant- ly to give signs of his presence. He would Jead the horse to the best pas- turage and to water, and would ac- company him to the stall where they had their meals together, the horse often dropping a mouthful of food for his feathered friend. Whea the poor blind creature died the gander seem- ed ucterly lost; he wandered round disconsolately for a week, refused to eat, and at the end of that time had grieved himself to death. ——_——_~>>-—_——_—_ If the reader thinks that only kind words are heard at the North at this hour ef mourning for the South and ‘ts leaders he is far from the fact. At Hillsboro, Il, last Sunday, a preach- er by the name. of Hoffman, let out his venom and took the noble ex- President Davis for his theme. He id: mee What an inscrutable Providence is that which allows traitors to live while herocs and patriots to die. It humiliates one that Jefferson Davis should live to see the death of Grant. It may be a mercy of God to lengthen the life of the culprits to give them time for repentance. — And if that is the ground upon which Davis is spar- ed then may we expect that he will yet livea thousand years, for 1,000 years of repentance will not equal the enormity of his traitorous offense.” | There are more of the bloody shirt fouls in the North.

Ice Soup for Overheated Drinkers. “The latest drink,” said.a Chicago “artist,” “is ‘iced soup.’ You know that in winter time we had beef tea, steak tea and other hot drinks, but iced soup or bouillion is having a great run, and I believe that it has come to stay. The lemonade trade has fallen off greatly since the advent of the soup. Men who are accustom- ed to mint juleps, ete., ete, take to the iced soup ‘like a duck to water.’” “When was the new drink brought out?” . “About a week ago a we'll known ‘doctor’ came to the proprictors and said that he had ascheme that would take. The bosses laughed at him, Finally he induced them to put down their names for a gallon, and it was brought into the place in a brown jug. ‘Keep in a cool piace 2% shake well before taking,’ were the instructions on the card. ‘Vhis was a kind of chestnut, but I was told to put the jug on ice, and Ididso, Then gayly decorated cards were hung up in the place, and by and by we had a call for a glass of boullion, I poured out a glassful, and, after seasoning it with salt and pepper, handed it to the cus- tomer. It seemed to have touched the right spot, for he said ‘Ttwas the best drink he had taken for years.” “How many brands are there?” “Well, you can get tomato, vegeta- ble, ox-tail, and the doctor says if the thing is a success he’ll introduce tur- tle.” —Ex. ee ep AFFLICTIONS.—A merchant Was one day returninig from macket. He was on horseback and behind him was a va- lise filled with :aoney. The rain fell was wet to the skin. At this he was vexed and murmured beeause God had gived him such bad weather for his journey. Fe soon reached the borders of a thick forest. What was his ter- ror on behodling on one side cf the road a robber with leveled gun, aiming at him and attempting to fire! But the powder being wet by the rain, the gun did not go off, and the merchant, giv- ing his horse the spur, fortunately had time to escape. Assoon as he found hinself safe he said to himself: “How wrong was I not to encure the rain patiently as sent by Providence ! If the weather had been dry and fair I should not, probably, have been alive at this hour, and my little children would have which caused me to murmur came at a fortunate moment to save my hfe and preserve my property. they preserve us from others f and of longer duration.—L. oan Novet Puan to Caton Mo es.—A farmer proposes the following novel plan for catching moles: Take two old old cow horns and place them point to “point, turning the hollows outward in the track of the mole, and then replace the earth over them. The mole will come along scon an crawl into the horn just asfaras he can go, and remain there trying to through, as he cannot turn around, and moles nev- er go backwards. Scratch up and ex- amine your horns oecasionally and you will soon have your mole. or? a get Charles Scribner’s Sons, the pub- lishers, state that the author of the story “Across the Chasm” is Miss Ju- lia Magrader, daughter of General Magruder. Chattanooga has ordered its aban- doucd women to leave the city. One of the unfortunate creatures commit- ted suicide last week, in desperation, having neither money nor friends to whom to go, nor avy occupation at which she could make a living. A father may save a few dollars by refusing to make the home inviting for his children; bat he may spend ten times that—yes, a hundred times in getting them out of trouble which they have brought on by roaming on the streets. “One of these dollars is a counterfeif, ma'am.” “How ean you tell?” “Sin- ply by sound.

The traveling theatrical companies are appreciated in the distant West. An Arizona paper, for example, says: “4 company of duffers gave a show last night at Barney Hill’s. They played a dizzy snap called ‘Hamlet.’ We never heard of the drama before, and we never want to see it again. It is the snidest thing in the way of a show we ever fell up against. ‘There ain’t no horses, no singing, fighting, or dancing in the whole blamed she- bang. ‘There was a lively dog fight in the middle of the play that was a great success.

In this strument the flints are suspended by wires above a sounding board, and are played oT by two other flints. The stones of the piano number twenty-six, forming the two chromatic octaves, and -were collected with much patient labor during a pe- riod of more than thirty years.

That the .Vri: s-Obserrer should say that the name of this county 2s of either doubtful or exceedingly remarkable. It displays a densely barren spot i the broad (7) historical field of the editor. and assures the reader of one fact. at least. that if as much time ani research have been devoted to the historical accuracy of the statements relative to the other counties as was given to Rowan. then 1s | it an aggregation of historical informa- tion that should for ever perpetuate the name of the compiler as the most his- torically misinformed person of the nineteenth century. Rowan is among the oldest and most honored of the counties of the State, and has furnished history with many names which adorn fame's eternal scroll. The history of the name ix simple enough, and is well known by the school children of the county. kor the bene- fit of the Vews-Observer the following extract from Dr. Rumple’s “History of Rowan” is nuule, as it bears directly on the point: “The peaceable, industrious, early settlers of Rowan were and Jaw-abiding men, who bad come to this land to make homes for themselves and their children. When therefore their numbers lad in- creased sufficiently to justify the measure, steps were taken for the formation of a county government, and the appointment of county officers and courts of justice. Accordingly at the session of the General Assembly of the Province of North Caro- lina, begun and held at Newbern, Mareh QW7th, 1753, an act was passed establishing the county of Rowan.

The life of this gentleman came toa | close yesterday morning at 4 o'clock; at ‘the residence of Solicitor Adams, in this place. Some four wecks ago he was brought here from Durham, wasted with I disease, witha very faint hope of im- provement. But consumption had long ‘azo marked him fer a victim, aud after his arrival here there was no ¢heck on his progress to the grave. Prof. Kerr has been a well and widely | known man in educational and scientific pea A Tutor at Chapel Hill, a Pro- fessor at Davidson College, the head of lan institution in Texas, he acquired repu- tation ag a teacher; but he is best known las a scientist. He was placed at the head ‘of the Geological survey of the State of North Carolina by Governor Worth, when the work was resumed in 1866. - In that work he was patient, laborious and lactive, visiting all parts of the State, and | with painstaking accuracy investigating ithe mineral resources of the State, and lthe agricultural characteristics of the sections. It was the work in its nature jextendivg over many years, and was not | brought to a close in his life time.

The letter has never been acknowledg- ed, nor has any attention been paid to a second letter, enquiring if the former had been received, and enclosing stamps for copy of paper. This letter of explanation was writ- ten by a Republican to a Republican paper. and to all appearances has not n noticed. This shows a desire on the part of the editor to credit negro information in preference to that fur- nished by white men. It is a matter that does not give this paper and its readers any concern, as it is all in the Republican ranks. Our people may wash their hands of the affair. . > 2 are According to the Baltimore Manu- facturers ftveord, the last month of summer shows in its opening week a very promying condition of affairs in the industrial growth of the South. As week after week passes by with a steady improvement in the propects for mag- nificent crops in the South, there is a decided change for the better in the outlook for increased activity in trade and financial circles. It is now almost assured that the yield of the two great staples, cotton and corn, will be the largest ever produced, and while busi- ness men are disposed to wait a few weeks longer, until the crops are be- yond the possibility of damage, yet there is already an improvement notice- able. The prospects could hardly be | more encouraving than at present for the South's entering upon an era of the greatest trade and industrial progress ever seen in that section, Oe Fou! air in a well in Mecklenburg county caused the death of a young ‘ r : : 5 man, Chas. Kerr, this week. He went into the well for the purpose of deep- ening it. Noone should ever go into a well before sending down a cancle or ane torch made fast to or set in the ncket.

C. He /eutered the University of North Carolina |in 1846, and graduated at the same with high honors in 1850. He taught school at Williamston, Martin county, N. C., for one year after graduation, avd on going ‘to Texas with a letter of recommendation | from Gov. Morehead was at once, in 1852, ‘elected toa professorship in Marshall | University, that State. While holding | this position, and through the influence jof Hon. Wm, A. Graham, then Secretary | of the Navy, he was appointed an assis- | tant on the Nautical Almanac, then pub- | lished at Cambridge, Mass. He went at |once to Cambridge (in 1853) and contin- |ned at work on the almanac five years. | During this time, while making a sup- | port by his work onthe almanac he devoted a large part of his time to the 'gtudy of Geology aud Natural History | under the illustrious Agassiz. In February, 1857, Prof Kerr was elected to the professorship of Chemistry jaud Geology at Davidson college. This |position he held uatil soon after the breaking out of the war, when, largely on account of poor health, he resigned his | professorship, eutered the service of a private company, and superintended the ;manufacture of salt near Charleston one. In the latter part of 1866 he was ap- | pointed State Geologist by Gov. Vance, /and coutinned to hold this place until | 1822, when he resigued to accept a posi- | tion on the U. S. Geological Survey. This latter position, like all others he held, Prof Kerr filled with ability, but ou ac- ‘count of failing health he was able to ‘continue the work for but a short time, resigning in September, 188°. Since that time he has been spending his wiuters at Tampa, Fla., aud his sum- in the leading scientific journats of -the | country, two small reports on the geolo- gy of the State published prior to 1870, and Vol. I of the final report ou the same subject published in 1875. Tn addition to these he prepared reports on the soils, cotton and tobacco interests of North Caroliva and Virginia which were pub- lished in a part of the Tenth Census Report. As State Geologist he has done a great work for North Carolina—as well as in what has already been uccomplished, as well as iv the benefits which result to the State inthe future. His correspon- dence concerning the mineral, mining apd other econewic interests of the State has been exceedinly large, and with men from all parts of the United States and Europe. The benefits ef this work to the State cannot be estimated. They haye never been properly appreciated by the people of the State—even those best informed. Noone save Prof. Kerr him- self has known how wuch labor this cor- respondence has entailed upon him. Prof. Kerr has been ever awake to the development of the natural resources of the State and many and various have been his undertakings in this direction. He has labored conscientiously and per- sistently, often in ways that others knew not of, for the accomplishment of this end. And itis to be hoped that when more is made known of this work for the State tlie future will have a more just appreciation of itthan either the present or the past. As aChristian gentleman, those who have known him best have admired him most. His heart was warm and gener- ous, hisanind was clear, active and pro- gressing, his conscience keen and inflexi- ble. He was honest in every sense of the werd. ‘There was nothing of policy in his thought oractien. On the contrary he was frank and outspoken, at times even toa fault. In Prof. Kerr’s death the State bas met an inestimable loss. In some respects he has lived ahead of his time. He is, in his own department of work, more widely and favorably known, and de- servedly se, than any man the State has produced, or the State University has graduated. rr HOTEL AT HAYWOOD WHITE SUL- PHUR SPRINGS BURNED. Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock, the guests of the Haywood White Sulphur Springs were aroused by the ery of fire, and it was discovered that the main hotel building was in a flame, and was too far advanced to prevent a total de- struction of the building. The guests were soon aroused, and, by the many avenues of escape with which the large building was provided, got out safely. saving their baggage. Quite all the furniture was rescued. The building of this property was situated on a pret- ty eminence, overlooking the entire valley, was three stories high and some one hundred and fifty feet long. The kitchen stood immediately in rear of the centre of the building, and in this the fire broke out, the result of a de- fective flue, it is supposed. There was no insurance, a fact whieh surprises us. The cottages, to the right and left of the main building, are not damaged. The people all acted with great cool- Davie Wants a Railroad. To-day Davie County and her people are as closely hemmed in from the ouat- side world as sho was in 1836, baring a few good county roads, which have been the only outlets of traffic for her people for neatly a half century. Shall this present condition of things continue? We say NO. Shall we remain at a stand still and allow onr sister coua- ties to continue sucking their sustenance from our fertile Jands, our diversified crops and honest labors, without giving us that hearty co-operation in the ad- vancement of the present age, Viz: rail- road communication, by which we may develop the natural wealth that lies at our feet, and to this query comes our em- phatic negative reply, No, not if we can help it. What have we here in this county any- how to cause us to anxiously wish and wait for direct and expeditious transpor- tation? Let us see for the year 1880 some of the productious of Davie county : Iler tobacco crop amounted to 633,339 pounds; her wheat, 71,127 bushels; her rye, 1,986 bushels ; her oats, 138,126 bush- els; her corn, 488,595. Are not these figures suggestive? Can any railroad be oblivious to the traffic from these productions which now find their outlet into t conmercial world by wagons, carte, vehicles and other crade modes of transportation ? Ifso, we reason not aright. We ask the attention of the Baltimore, Cincinnati and Western Railway, that well managed and excellently equipped read, to the above statistics, who have al- ready projected a line of road from Charleston, West Va., to Wadesboro in this State, having as au outlet one of the finest ports on the South Atlantic coast, namely : Charleston, S. C. Let us draw a line and see the right of way of the above pamed road from which we expect help, if, jndeed, we get any at all, having already despaired of any as- sistance frem (he Richmond & Danville system. The first division of this popular roate will ran from Wadesboro to Salisbury, sixty miles; the second division from Salisbury to Wilkesboro, fifty miles; third division from Wilkesboro to Marion, 81X- ty-five mlles; the fourth division from Marion to Charleston, West Virginia, one hundred and fifteen miles; making a grand total of two hundred and ninety miles of railway, running through the very best of farm and mineral Jands, the products from which would pay fer the building of the road within a decade. We are looking to the completion of the first division of the proposed road thence to this place, and we are ready to doall we ean to carry the scheme thro’. Our efforts in raising $55,000 for the North Carolina Midland, $10,000 of which has already been spent with no avail, and the road abandoned, shows our great desire to ob- tain transportation facilities. The resi- due of $45,000 remains in tact. The last Legislature granted us the privilege of cutting loose from the N. C. Midland road. Our opportunity now lies in the com- pletion of a road from this place to Wadesboro via Salisbury, and this amount of $45,000 the commissioners and the people will, no doubt, turn over to ness and energy, and to this can be at- tributed the saving of the furniture and baggage. Many of the guests will remain in Waynesville, others will go to Asheville and other points on the road. Ample arrangements for the re- moval of guests were promptly made by the railroad authorities, extra pas- senger coaches having been dispatched this morning. Arrangements will at once be made to accommodate those who may desire to remain, or go there, and by next sea- son larger and better buildings will be built. We sincerely trust our friends may enter upon this work with all dis- patch. It is too important and valua- ble a property to the whole section, to be permitted to remain idle. The Springs will be kept open until November.— Asheville Citizen. See ee Tue Concord Fire.—From the Char- lotte Observer is taken the following list, losers and losses: Warren C.

Oo The Gallows. Fayetteville, N. C., August 7. — Joe Howard, white, and Tom Gee and Tom McNeill, colored, were hanged here today at 1:30 p. m. The scene of execution was an old field, one mile from the jail. All three were hanged on the same scaffold, and were pronounced dead in eight minutes—one trap being underneath them and arranged with a spring on the steps, and as the sheriff walked down from the scaffold he touched the spring, when the trap fell. Howard said that if he killed Blackman it was done accidentally. Howard's wife was on the scaffuld with him. Gee said he did kill the woman. McNeill had nothing to say. There were about 5,000 persons pres- ent. There was noexcitement. As the prisoners rode out to the scaffold How- ard had a_ note book and pencil jotting down notes. Tom Gee was smoking a cigar. MeNeill was perfectly quiet. They were guarded by the State Guard. Rev. \they naturally develop into lawlessness, Joseph Huske, D. D., aud Rev.

Mr. Editor : What will become of children who go about doing pretty much as they please so far as they can; growing up in igno- rance and in habits of idleness, with no tixed purpose or aim in life? For a time they may in some cases be a sort of neigh- borhood convenience, by answering to calls for a few day’s work; but when done, the employer pays them and they are gone—no more thought of antil peeded again. But this semi-vagabond life is not of long continuance. These children become men and women after a while, with all the needs of grown people; and with up- skilled hands, unchastened passivas, un- | traincd minds and autanght cousciences, der off to practice upon other communities the ways that are low and the deeds that are datk. From thisclass it may be safely, said, come many of the criminals who af- flict society, thas repaying the State with heavy costs and trouble for its neglect of them when they were children. A faith- ful enforcement of the laws in bringing these children nuder proper authority and binding them out to responsible and worthy citizens for a term of years, would have cost, perhaps from two to ten dol- lars; whereas. such neglect of duty on the part of officials and people, often entail trouble and cost to an extent absolutely burdensome. Add to this the loss of a map or a woman who might with proper care have been bronght up to live a life of usefulness and virtue ; aud also, the evil example of the lost one on others, running to the third and fourth geueration, and it will be seen how serious a matter it is to neglect the faithful execution of laws de- sigued to protect the commanity against such evils.

Proper- ty owners adjacent are conient, the Commissioners do not compromise themselves by establishing an awkward precedent and the town gets the new | Editor of the Watchman : You will ‘see that arrangements have been made to secute for the colored peo- ple of District No. 27, every cent they pay ivtoany school fand, and to give them no more. The sum that will come to them will be very much more than you estimated in your articles, exactly how much cannot be determined. The advantages in this new arrangeinent are not all on the side of the wnites. As the colored people will no longer get scheol money from the whites, so they will no longer owe them gratitade on that score. So they will no longer be contracting a debt (of gratitude) which they were not trying to pay. Hereafter whatever is done for their race will be done by it, and it alone will deserve the praise for it. As the whites no longer will contribute to these funds, so they no longer have a right to dictate how they shall be expen- ded. Soif the colored people think it best for themselves to have a fine school house, at the sacrifice of long terms of school for the present, our race has no right to interfere. Any interference now by tho whites would be an acknowledgement that we feared competition with them in a fair race. rk. J. M. the 1 ss D.D., Mr. Wm. 8.

Loper, of Winston, has moved here and has ren- ted the lower store, in the Holmes Block. on Main Street, where he pro- poses to do a business in fancy grocer- ies. He isa well todo man, and has come to grow up with the “new Salis- bury.” This shows that there is some faith outside in our railroad schemes and in our growing tobacco market. oO “Rowan Rirre Guarps.”—On last Tuesday night, there was held a meet- ing in the “Mayor's office which resul- ted in the organizatioa of a Military Company to be known as the “Rowan Rifle Guards.” There are twenty- eight names on the roll. Capt. Theo. Parker ( West Point graduate and U. 5. Army Officer) was unanimously chosen captain. They will havea meeting on Friday night of this week at the Mayor's office, when others desirous of joining may be present. ae oO THe OvtLoox for the future of Sal- isbury certainly is favoraile. There is areasonable hope that at least a portion of the Yadkin Railroad will be built within a year. Ten miles of roid would mean a great deal to the town, and would inaugurate much ac- tivity. The people of Davie county are anxious for a road, and turn this way once more for an outlet. Now let those of our citizens who are so much concerned about the town’s growth and welfare, take hold—put their shoulders to the wheel. Here are two railroad schemes, both feasible, and destined to make this a railroad centre if built. Is there any marrow in the bones of these talkers? If so, now is the time to take hold. Hither of these railroads would vive the business of the place an impe- tus not known since the days when the whited canvass on caravans of four horse wagons used to enliven the land- scape “twixt here and distant marts. ‘In those days Salisbury stood at the helm, guiding and controlling the mer- eantile operations of this section.

At a meeting on last Friday an ap- plication from Hankins & Son was made to the town commissioners ask- ing permission to build a wooden to- bacco warehouse, on Main Street, next to the Opera House. There is an or- boro and Concord have been exceeding- ly destructive, much more so than would have been had there been anything like a fair equippage for fighting the element. These fires and the overwhelming losses attending have put the people in those towns to think- ing about some suitable and effective method for the protection of their prop- erty. This is all very well, but 1t comes after a heavy loss has been sustained. This is a matter of great importance to our citizens. They are not aware of the fact, or if they are, they do not seem to be alarmed at the utter hel lessness of this town in case of fire. ia the engine house there rests two old fashioned hand engines, and a hook and ladder truck. Neither of these engines will throw water to any advantage ; there are not ten feet of hose fit for use, and the hook and ladder truck, while in good repair is much too large to be effective here. It requires too many to handle it. When all the appliances are gone over, there remains nothing that is of any service. What is to be done? Shall our people wait until a fire has azain burned down their best property? Or shall steps be taken to prepare now for an emergency? With a few thou- sand dollars cisterns could be sunk, and a Remington horse-power engine of sufficient strength to throw water through a thousand feet of hose, and sixty feet from the end of the noz- zle, could be purchased. This scheme has been suggested by one of the most practical men in the town, and the Warcuwan will be glad to have byief opinions from the various business men of the place on this im- portant subject. oer—_—_ PersoNAL.—Mrs. and Miss Lyerly, of Enterprise, Miss., are the guests of Mrs. W.

Give the negro every cent due him for educational laa from whatever source, and let im apply it as he likes. Should he care to make a school house whose gilded spire should pierce the blue vault of fever it would be of no con- cern to the white people, so long as none of their money was used in the construction. The correspondent should have no fear of interference on the part of the whites. Nowhere in the South, to the writers’ knowledge, has there been any interference of any kind, on the part of the whites, with the undisputed rights of the negro, and it is not to be presumed that it will be imdulged in this community. The suggestion that interference would be an acknowledge- ment of fear in a fair race cannot be re- alized. The writer has never consented to any such equality as is implied by the word ‘“competition”— signifying ability to compete. His. estimate of Anglo Saxon brain places it far above competition with any inferior race. —— —> <> a School Committee. The Committee met on Aug. 1st at the call of the Mayor. All present except Messrs. Bernhardt and Wiley. Arrangemeuts were made for paying the part now due on the eblargemient of the white Graded School House. On motion of Mr. Murdoch, it was unani- mously resolved: 1. That this Committee will cause a eareful estimate to be made of what sum is contributed to the State and County edueation funds by the colored popula- tion of District 27 and will draw it out for their use, but will leave the difference between this and the sum allotted to them by the Board of Education in the County Vreasurer’s hands tu be returned to the Edueatiou fund. ; 2. This Committee pledges itself to try to secure for the colored people of District 27, every cent which they pay of funds which go, or by law should ge, to the pars pose of education. 3. As it will be better known one year hence than now what funds will belong to the colored people, the Committee postpones building until next year, and therefore orders the bids to be declined, the biil for the plan to be paid. The date for taking the Census was changed to August 3d. It was determin ed that the Census shall be of all resi- dents of the town whether temporarily absent or not, and no others. Messrs. Heilig, Holmes and Murdoch were ap- pointed a Committee to determive all points concerning the Census not already decided by this body, The Committee adjourned.

The doctors would patch me up for awhile, but the ulcer would never heal. The mercury and potash with which they dosed me brought on rheumatism and dys pepsia. I was an object of pity to all my friends. Some thought that the only hope to save life was amputation. Icontinned to grow worse, and for three years I have bot worn ashoe. Hope had almost lett me. Swift’s Specific was suggested, and I commenced its use at once. From the very first I began to feel better. I have taken 36 bottles, and the shadows which had darkened my life for 28 years have all been dissipated. The effect of the medicine has been wonderful indeed. Today I am able to attend to all my farming interests and walk from one to five miles a day. I am satistied that the disease is entirely broken up, and HON. J. G.

In a word, I was miserable. At last, failing to find relief in anything else, I commenced the use of Swift's Spe- cific. I began to improve at once. The medicine toned up the stomach, strength- ened the digestive organs, and soon all that burning ceased, and I could retain food without difficulty. Now my health is good, and can eat anything in the shape of food, and digest it without the slightest difficulty.

The revelations of the Patl Hull Gazette, and the subsequent agitation by that paper of the necessity for sup- pressing the evils discovered, have fairly convulsed the country. Im- mevse meetings continue to be held daily throughout England, and the Wesleyan Conference, at its session today, unanimously passed a resolu- tion of thanks to the Gasette for the thorough manner in which it bas per- formed its good work. Similar reso- lutions are adopted alnrost ‘daily by bodies represeating all sects and creeds. The latest scandal effects Eton School, the highest institution of its kind in. the land, which is situated just across the river from the Royal Castle aud Park of Windsor, It has now been ascertained that for four montlis “past horders of abandoned women from the surrounding towns and from London have had a rendez- yous at Windsor, They were met at night by school boys 16 or 17 years old and driven around the distriet in carriages. The example of the big boys was speedily imitated by the younger lads. Becoming more dar- ing, they invaded Windsor Park with the women. An_ exhaustive secret inquiry followed the discovery of these facts. The result was that near- ly 300 boys made full confessions, and all the guilty ones were forbid- den to return to Eton next term. The head master forebore expelling them publicly to prevent scandal, and, moreover, because boys expelled from Eton are forever ineligible for ap- pointment in the army, tho navy, or the church, and have their prospects in life hopelessly wrecked. Many of the boys are connected with the high- est English families,*"and every one of them was supplied with an amount of pocket money equal to an ordin- ary man’s entire income. The boys presented lavish tips to the park- keepers and the police to purchase their sileuce, and since the investiga- tion the masters have made strenu- ous effurts to prevent publicity of the facts. The atmosphere of Parliament is fetid with soandal, Schocking char- yes are freely brought against both young and old. The Criminal Law Amenied bill, previously unheard of, is now the most important measure of the session, and the House is crowded whenever it is up for debate. The most notorious libertines in Par- liament are vying with each other to propose the most siringent restric- tions. The Rev. Dr. William Thomson, Archbishop ef York, on Sunday ad- dressed an audience of men and de- nounced the conspiracy of silence by which it had been sought to weaken the Pull Ball Gazette's revelations. He said that this was nota party question, but that it was the duty of the whole nation to stamp out this rampant and horrible vice. The name of the Catholic priest recently arrested at Leghorn for en- ticing young girls to ruin by means of a pretended orphanage in Bruzza. He called his institution the Asylum of San Filippo de Heri, and ap- parently repentaut magdalenes were enrolled as Sisters of Charity in the service of the heuse.

Much dissatisfaction, and we may say trouble, has arisen from the un- certainty and slow course of thie law. A great deal of it has been attributed to our present jury system.

Nearly a year ago Joseph Howard was tried and convicted of murder, his ease was carried to the Supreme Court by ap- peal. Noerror in the proceedings of the court below being found, he was at the next term, sentenced to be hanged, but before the day of execu- tion arrived, he was considered by some to be insane, a respite was ask- ed and granted by the Governor stay - ing the execution until Aug. 7th. On last week he was brought before the Superior Court tial, trial, the Judge g Ming the pris- a sa ee a nn fails to prove his case, and would nes cessarily pay the penalty of the lw on tomorrow; but again an appeal has been taken, which of course de- pends upon the farther respite of the Governor, (from whom we have not heard.) This may be right, but if so, proves that onr Jaws are too uncertain for there is scarcely a case of any impor- tance where delay is wished, that ex- ceptions and appeals are not taken. Lt strikes us, as it does the generality of thinking men, that there should be a limit to. these proceedings; and that while full justice should be given to all, that for the mere pretext to gain time, or some legal quibble, or other frivolous cause, the Judge should be empowered to decide the point, and only in cases were some tegal point comes up, and the Judge has a doubt, should the case be sent to the higher court for adjudication. The law ig two slow, and is grow- ing slower and more uncertain; anda remedy should be proposed before it goes too far, Why tamper with the people? Why burden then: with un- necessarry taxes? Why burden the Supreme Court with cases that a judge and one or two lawyers might decide, These are questions often asked, and are questions of vital im- portance. The good of the country, the safety of our people, all demand that the law be revised or some reme- dy made.—Fayeleville Cbserver. — ~<a How Wilkes Booth’s Disposed of. Body was Charlotte Democrat. R. R. James, an old guardsman of the ‘Washington Arsenal, writes “to let the people know that J. Wilkes Booth is not living.” And this is the reason for thinking so: “As to J. W. Booth’s living, I take jleasure in announcing that it could te so, for Booth was shot by Boston Corbett and his body taken to the Washington Arsenal. And one night when J wason guard, about 3or 4 o'clock in the morning, on the dock, I saw anaval vessel come abreast the arsenal and appeared as if she was afire with blue and red ‘lights, and throwing signal rockets; and then a large ship’s boat came to the dock, and | challeng- ed them and got the countersign and passed them. They went into the ar- senal and brought out Booth’s body and took it into the ship's boat, and the boat took it to the ship, and then the ship appeared as if on fire and threw up rockets and sailed down the bay; and then the ship returned in a week, and L[ asked one of the sailors and he said they fired Booth’s body away ina sixty-four-pound Columbian gun into the Atlantic Ocean. I being a soldier at the same time and dog duty at Washington Arsenal, and what I saw while a soldier there and guarding and hanging Mrs. Surratt and the rest of the conspirators, and which I state to be true, 1 know Booth’s body never took the sod.” _—-<>+— A Husband of Fifteen Wives. A Russian Count who Ended Tlis Cu- reer in the Penitentiary. Columbus, O., August 3.—A con- vict known as Charles Neuville, who died inthe penitentiary yesterday, while serving aterm of seven years for bigamy, was the son of an Eng- lighman and a Russian countess, and ran away to this country after having served in both the British and Rus- sian armies. During his brief career in the Uuited States he had married fifteen women, the last of whom was a daughter of Charles J. Whitney, a wealthy Detroit man and then mana- ger of the Standard theatre, Chicago. He eloped with her to Toledo, where he was convicted and sent the State prison. His usual plan was to persuade a minister to merry him in some illegal manner, and in this last case he urg- ed that asa defense, but the court would not allow it. He won the af- fection of Miss Whitney while em- ployed as her father’s coachman. He had been sick for about two weeks with intermittent fever, and a few days ago told the warden that his real name was Charles Edward Neu- ville Censivieski, his Russian title being count. He always claimed he had but one wife and that he was al- ways true to her, She lives at Peters- boro, Ont., and the warden has tele- graphed to her the news of his death. ee A Nut For Ex-Union SOLDIERS ro Crack.—The rumor is received that Gen. Black, Commissioner of Pensions, will resign. ‘The cause is said to be the refusal of Secretary Lamar to dismiss several ex-Union Clerks, whom Black had recommen- ded for removal. Now, by the pow- ers that be, what will happen next? Here is a Commissioner from Illinois a man who was a brigadier general on the Union side, during the late war, swinging the official axe over the heads of the ex-soldicrs who fought under him, while an ex-rebel from Mississippi stretches forth an official arm, arrests the progress of the de- scending blade and saves their offi- cial lives.

Royall, of the army, says a Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Zribune is one of the best known Indian fighters in the service. He is here on leave, his health being much impaired by many years life on the frontier. Speaking of the present disturbances and the love for murder which every Indian seems to posses in greater or less degree, he said: ot once asked a remarkably intelligent Indian, who wae known to have kill- ed a white man some years ago, why it was that his race enjoyed so much going on the warpath and killing people. The conversation which en- sued ran something like this, the In- dian beginning: “Did you ever shoot a rabbit?” eYies. “Did you ever shoot a deer?” oY es “Didwt you get more fun out of shooting the deer than the rabbit?” “Yes, I guess so.” “Well, there’s heap more fun for an Indian to killa man than a deer.” “That was Indian logic, and pret- ty good logic, too, I should say.” Col. Royall xemarked, and added: “My experience has been that the minute an Indian sheds human blood, it seems to affect the whole tribe the same way that the smell of blood would a pack of wild beasts. It in- toxicates them. ‘They become devils. They are bereft of all reason. They must satisfy their lust for murder, and the settlers on the trail they make their victims.” a The royal family objection to Bat- teunberg is his poverty and the fact he is the offspring of a morganatic marriagc—as it is politely put— which makes Beatrice’s marriage with bim ameaalliance. But while the matter of mesallianee is prominent it is uncomsortably recalled that the Queen’s uncle, the Duke of Sussex married the wife of a London alder- man bearing the name of Buggins. All this is “in the family.” The peo- ple of England object because Batten- berg will draw annually $30,000 of their money. - ‘Lhe aristocracy objects because he gets the garter and there is a proposal to make him a “Royal Highness.” And now comes the most serious objection of all in the effort to be made for his naturalization, and this objection comes from the officers of the army who see in it a step to give him a military position over the heads of veterans in the serve. <> +e A prominent citizen of Jones coun- ty, Miss., who stood high in the church, made a- visit to Meridian re- cently, and upon his return told his neighbors he had seen ice mantfac- tured in that town with the ther- mometer standing at 98°. It soon be- came a setticd fact in the minds of the members of the church that Brother Blank had degenerated into an able liar. Charges were preferred against him, and a committee of ehurch members were appointed to visit Meridian and convict. the er- saw the ice manufactured, and return- ing home so reported to a mecting of the church members. A look of tonishment on the faces of the assem- bled brethren soon gave way to one of indignation, and Brother Blank and the entire committee were incon- tinently expelled from the church,— New Orleans Times-Demoerat. as- Rabbit and Ratslesnake. In the Nashville Advocate of June 20, F. W. Daman gives an account of a “Mink and Rattlesnake.’ He asks, “Did the snake bite the mink?” I answer, no! The “old gentleman” struck the mink with a cluband kill- ed him. Had he killed the snake first the case might have been very differeut ; then he could have picked up the mink without any trouble and carried him home and skinned him. Some years ago Brother Oliver Ab- ernathy, living in Perry county, Mis- souri, was teaching school in an ad- joining neighborhood, One Monday morning, while on his way to his school, as he was walking along the road, he noticed some distance ahead of him a rabbit hopping along very close to the road—he would make a short hop and then stay, hop and stay. In the mean time Brother Abernathy came opposite the rabbit, and observ- ing that the little animal did not seem frightened, or even notice him, he stopped to see if he could ascertain whut was the matter. In a moment he discovered in the wagon-rut, just between him and the rabbit, a huge rattlesnake with his head slightly el- evated. They scened to be in close commuion (I mean the snake and the rabbit,) as neither of them noticed the approach of Brother Abernathy, nor did they seem to be aware of his pres- ence, He soon procured a club and killed the snake; and having thrown the reptile out of the road, he turned to look for the rabbit, which he had lost sight of ur forgotten in his com- bat with the serpent. The little ani- mal was sitting just where he was when last noticed—calm and quiet as a summer evenig. He stepped up close to it, it did not move, he gave him a slight kick and the little fellow tumbled over as limber as a dish-rag. Brother Abernathy picked him up and examined him. ite was not bitten. He had recsived no external injury whatever. That rabbit was dead !— J.M. Proctor, of Southwest Missouri Conference. wer + i > It-is estiinated that 100,000 veterans the Grand Army will attend Gen.

News and Observer.] Ra veiea, N. C., Aug. 8, ’85. The question of the American Ex- position in London next year and of the North Carolina exhibits being ta- ken there is being favorably discussed the State. It isa movement the wis- dom and policy of whieh cannot be questioned, ‘The State board of agri- culture, to whom have been lett the various matters of exhibiting and ad- vertising North Carolina, have so far pursued a wise and commendable course in this direction, They have fuught a good fight at home, and new when it is preposed to “carry the war into Africa” and to complete victory abroad, it is a proposition that meets the approval and is in accordance with the desire of the intelligent and right minded people of North Carolina, | Vast good has been already accom- plished by our home exhibitions, As advantageous as it is may be to spread our feast at home and invite the for- eign world over to partake of it, how much more powerful fur good will it be to carry the exhibit to them in their own land and say, “We have brought it to you, before your eyes, at your feet! Look at what our State has and is, and has accomplished !” So far as the board has alreadly wisely gone in this directien, it ig but meet and proper—pay necessary, that the work be crowned by this last, greytest and best effort of all. | ‘Ihe writter does not believe it to be an exaggeration when he says that | however inestimable has been the good result to the State from the various exhibitions in which she has already taken part, the opportunity offered in London next year is one the bene- | fits of which, should it be embraced, will be greater than all previous ef- forts combined. Lhe advantages to be derived by an exhibition are in di- rect proportion to the number of peo- ple who will see the display and the amout of unemployed capital seeking investment, that will be directly reach- ed by invitation the thus extended. | Let us see briefly what advantages in this direction the American 'Exposi- tion in London in 1886 offers, The exposition opens on the Ist of May and will coutine about six months, It will be exclusively Amer- ican, and in this live is a new depart- ure in the history of expositions, | The New York Herald says of it editorially: “Phere has never yet been ia first-class exhibition of American }articles anywhere out of this country, hand the commercial result of such an jundertaking can hardly be overesti- 'mated.” It is a private enterprise, the United States government being in- vited simply as an exhibitor, and not | berug asked to vote any funds for the jundertaking, The high price of labor ‘in America has driven her to all kinds of devices to facilitate production, All these will be shown, to the wonder and astonishment of the old world. Lhe boundless natural resources of our country will be also fully illustra- ted. To give some idea of the num- ber of people who would have access to our exhibit placed there, I will state that the site chosen is one such that ten millions of people reside with- in an hour’s ride, by rail, of the ex- position buildings, and that the esti- mated ordinary number of strangers who enter the city of London daily is one hundred and fifty thousund. ‘This transitory population will be greatly increased by the presence of the Amer- ican exposition there, and the British colonial and Indian exhibition, which takes place at the same time. These two exhibitions, going on at the same time, and near by each other, will re- act reciprocally to the mutual advan- tage of both. ‘The multitudes coming to see the one will see the other, and vice versa, and the friendly rivally be- tween the two will stimulate each to the highest pitch of excellence. Our State has already a complete collective exhibit. ‘This principal item of expense being then already incurred and that incident to placing and keeping it in London being prac- tically nothing in view of the vast benefits to be attained, the course to be adopted seems to the writer—and he believes tu the majority of the peo- ple of North Carolina as well—to be plain. With such an opportunity to expose our exhibit to such countless multitudes and ina land teeming with unemployed capital as well as over- crowded with a good, thrifty popula- tion sceking emigration, it does not seem that the board of agriculture, when the question shall come up for decision, can long hesitate. Z. { | —_- — ~—+> Gen. Grant’s doctors bills were $12,000 for each physician, The New York papers consider this quite 'a moderate charge. The money was made up by subseription by the triends of Gen.

AUGUST 20 1885. = Archibald Henderson. Wilmington Star. This distinguished native of North Carolina was the son of Judge Rich- ard Henderson, of the Revolation. His ; mother was a daughter of Lord+Keel- ;ing. He was born in Granville county and wasa brother of the eminent Chief Justice, Leonard Henderson. The Legislature desired to place Archibald on the Supreme Court Bench of the | State, but he declined saying that one of the family was quite enough. We learned this interesting fact from the late Hon Hugh Waddell, whose memory we revere. We knew him from our boyhood and it was a letter from him to the late William J. Bingham that secured a place for us in his school of thirty boys when that. was his limit at Oaks. We have heard the same thing concerning Mr. Henderson and the Bench from another person. Unlike his brother, who was of some- what stammering. speech, Archibald Henderson was an orator. Judge Mur- phey, in his elegant address at Chapel ul, refers to him as the “model law- year of North Carolina.” At the time Mr. Henderson was in prime there is no doubt that he was the foremost ad- vocate and orator a€ our bar. He was a great lawyer, elegant, persuasive, full, learned, profound. He was prob- ably not as great a jurist as lis brother; he had not so reflective a mind, but he was far more rhetorical, winning, ready eloquent and effective. He succeed when his brother would have failed lamentably. If he had been on the Bench he would have left a name but little lower than that of the three or four first class junsts who have been Chief Justice of the State. He died when his intellectual powers were in full splendor, at his home at Saltsbury. But few of the many able lawyers of our State ever so impressed their fellow men for uncommon powers as did this illustrious and admirable man. He was amiable and true as the Hen- dersons have been generally. One of the ablest men of the Revolutionary period was the father of Leonard and Archibald Henderson. Mr. Henderson has left no memo- rials of his intellectual greatness. It is already a tradition, as it is with so many of our strongest and best fur- nished men. Some one ought to take the trouble to hunt up all the remi- | niscences that can be gathered of this igreat lawyer. He wasa_ large man physically as was the Chief Justice. The Hendersons of that and the fol- lowing generation were men of marked physical proportions. Their faces were very strong—noble foreheads, promi- nent noses, protuding chins, tirm-set jaws, with kindness and openness of expression. They were remarkable for their benevolent qualities. The late Archibald Henderson, of Granville, gon of the Chief Justice, was of this type. A man was arrested for stealing from him. He gave the late Judge Gilliam, his intimate friend, the money to get the rogue out of the difficulty. North Carolina has produced many noble, able, high minded inen, but no family has yet given to the State two such men in mental, moral and social qualities as Leonard and” Archibald Henderson, of Granville. Some seven or eight years ago we published in the Stur athree column sketch of the Chief Justice. We have supplemented this now by telling the very little we know of his illustrious brother. _—_—— +. Gen. Grant was at last put away ina temporary vault in Riverside park, New York, last Saturday, and with every circumstance of military and civic pomp of which America is capable. The hne of march from the City Hall to the park was about 15 miles, and it took from morning till night to bury the dead man. The procession was in charge of Gen. W. 5. Hancock. The President and Cabinet were COUP ous in the parade. The number of per- sons who took part in it was estimated at 50,000, and it is calculated that 2,- 500,000 people saw it. Bands played dead marches all along the way and the services at the tomb were accorded to the ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic and concluded with the firing of guns. The Herald of Sunday devo- ted four pages, or twenty-eight columns of small type, to telling about the dis- play and ‘the events of the occasion. A column and a half were devoted to a recital of the casualties of the day and a half column to the operations of the pickpockets. —Landmark. -_————_ -<- - When business becomes so absorb- ing as to result in insomnia it ig time to stop business, or business may stop you.

[Wilmington Star.} We publish a brief communication to-day from an intellegent business man. He sounds an alarm signal that it will be well for our business men, and, indeed for our people generally, to heed. The purpose to flood the South with depreciated coin ought to be re- sisted and, if possible, prevented. the coin is to be distributed among the laboring classes in the South and then the banks are to refuse to receive it in turn it will be a positive swindle upon the people and perpetrated through the connivance of the government. The banks in many places heretofore refus- ed to take silver in deposit or in pay- ment of indebtedness unless at a dis- count. This is very hard upon the people. There is not the slightest rea- son why the government should send. out acurrency that is not good for all debts. Why should a great govern- ment like our own have in circulation a currency that is so debased that it is really worth but 70 cents in the dol- lar? It isa stigma upon the very name of Government, and if the Congress was equal to its duties and responsibil- ities there would be no occasion for such a complaint. ‘To allow the people to have forced upon them a currency that is greatly depreciated (we refer to the fractional silver) and that can only be made a legal tender when the amount is as much as five dollars, is a positive wrong. It is more than this—it 1s an outrage. The papers in the South ought at once to give the alarm and let the peo- ple move in conventions against this attempted outrage. It has been an- nounced in Northern papers. that the Treasury would pay the members of Congress in silver dollars for their ser- vices. Why not pay them in dimes and quarters ? The financial question is becoming of extreme importance. ‘Phe silver dol- lars are worth but 85 cents and yet they circulate as currency. The sentiment in the South is strengthening against an indefinite continuance of the coinage of the silver dollars. The probability is that the next session of Congress will suspend the coinage for some years. It ought to protect the people against the serious infiction of a debased cur- rency.

There are some of these who are performing mach needed and most important work who have not their proper ravk and haye not, therefore, their dues from their country. Professor Kerr, we are temptad to say, was of this class of unappretiated Jaborers. He is now justly claimed by leading North Carolina papers as having rendered the State most valuable service, and Prof. Holmes, of the University, has said, aud truly as we hold, that in science he is the foremost man to which North Carolina has given birth. But he was not appreciated. We have seen many attacks upon his office, and he was regarded by thousands as be- ing a laxury and not a necessity. This was said ata time when his labors were very arduous and his services most useful and important to North Carolina. Recently a brave, conscientious, noble- hearted editor fell asleep and most sad- denly. Like a strong oak sticken by a bolt from heaven the stalwart Shotwell was laid low, and now that he sleeps his last sleep the whole press is speaking out in warm and just termsof eulogy, and the dead hero receives a thousand times more of the praise of men now than when rhe stood op eonrageonsly and almost alone against meanness and corraption and wrong and delivered battle againsc principalities and powers in high places, flis labors were not appreciated.

BUTLER TELLS THE TRUTH! [t isthe First on Record for Many Years. [News-Observer.] Ben Batler, true to his character, took advantage of Grant’s death tomakehimeself While all the North if not the whole country, Was suuk deep auder conspicuous, the sea of gush called forth by the oceas- iob referred to, he rose to the height of a cold-blooded analysis of the dead pener- al’s character which seems almost bratal in view of the circumstances uvder which it was made. At the same cime there eau be no doubt ib impartinl minds about the fact that the analysis was a faithful one and in accordance with what will be the verdict of history. It formed a part ofa memorial address ou Grant delivered ot Lowell, Massachusetts Tu the first place Butler dismisses the decvased as a states: nan with scant praise and remorseless logic, and asa military man he regards him as having invented but one thing— the conquest of an iuferior foe with mach— Jess waste of men and material, “to fight and fight again, without regard to loss of life oreven to military results, knowing that his own losses could be replaced while the ene- my’s could not, aud that thas iu time the War must necessarily come te an end.” In this connection he cites the historic fact that the exhaustion of the worn out forees of the South was made more coms plete and precipitous by a refusal to ex. *The policy,’ he proceeds, ‘put an end to the rebellion. Grant held to it until, in the spring of 1865, Lee had neither men nor rations to feed them upon, nor could the Conteder- ates supply hin with either, and then came Appomattox aud the couclusion of the war!” Thus, in short, Butler has supplied what the eulogists of Grant have lett out and so has completed the picture of the dead general’s character. In doing so he has brought himself prominently iuto notice though to be execrated by thonu- sands of his own people and is happy.

As they came along I reeogniz- ed him, and though faint from exposure and loss of blood, I raised upon my hands, leoked Gen. Lee in the face and shouted as loud as I could, ‘Hurrah for the Union!’ The General heard me, looked, stopped his horse, dismounted and came toward me.

But as he came up he looked down at me with such an expres- siou upon his face that all fear left me, and I wondered what he was about. “He extended his hand to me, and grasping mine firmly aud looking right tte my eyes, he said: “«*My son, L hope you will soon be well.’ “If Llive a thousand years I shall never forget the expression in Gen.

No better or more central location can be found than Salisbury, or the immediate vicinage, for the construe- tion and operation of metallurgical works forthe reduction of sulpnide and complex ores. ‘Lhe following let- iter will be of interest to the mining imen and mine owners of this section. From the Financial «nd Mining Record. SALISBURY, N.C., dud. du, 1835.

In these ores is the wealth of the State, and as yet they looked inte, otherwise than to open them and make some attempt at treatinent. Much bas been said and written of the minerals of the State, bat very little of how the ores should be handled in order tu make them renmnnerative, and largely go. That the ores are here is the first step; that settled, the vext question is how to make money from them. This can only ve done by the establishment of a redue- tiop and metallurgical works, in connec- tion with which shali be the manufacture of fertilizers, sulphate of iron and copper with sulphurie acid. When we take into consideration that over 100,000 tons of fertilizers from Baltimore, Niehmond, Philadelphia and New York are sold iu this State every year, the question is at once pertinent, why should we vot make we have every have not been our own fertilizers, when product at hand fron which to manutac- ture for $205 per ton, that which costs $40) to our people when imported from other States ? The answer is, the capital for such an undertaking is not to be col- lected here, as smailer investments offer to the citizens the usual safe per cent. Anotheranswer is that the capital is used up iu business, such as tobacco, cotton and such other manufactories as are com- prehensible to the population. Suffice it to say, that thonsands of tons of ore hav- ing a value of $50 per tor, can be deliv—- ered at any central point for a figure not to exceed $15 per ton, and can be treated by known methods at $10 per ton, leav- ing a profit of $25 on each ton handled. In order to get at such results, a work should be £0 manipnlated as to utilize all ee cenenete te the by-produets and by-branchey of the undertaking, such as the manufactare of fertilizers, which iu this casé could be made -cheaper than under any otlier known circumstances. a The same_of su}phate of iron and cop- per. It seems to me that capital shoald not be hoarded up when such inducements offer themselves in such an open way. Here isan investment of $150,000 that will pay 50 per cent. annually, and antil something of this character is done, the mines of the State having refractory eres that will net bear shipment to the Nerth must be dormant. On the other hard, when itis done it will put into opera- tion hundreds of mines, aud give legiti- mate and active impetus to tining in Georgia and the Carolinas. As sure as we- tallurgieal works are in successful op- eration elsewhere in the world, just se sure, svoner or later, will be case iv the South where we have everything with exception of capital. The past year has developed a great many mining indus- tries for mica,corundum, manganese, iron tale, marble and graphite, showing con- elnusively that our minerals are a source of wealth and attraction.

SHOTWELL has touch- ed the heart of the people of North Carolina to an extent that has scarcely been witnessed since the termination of the late eivil war. To what cause is this result to be at- tributed? We venture to suggest that it is because the people lave recognized in his Nfe and sufferings a Hero anda PaTtrRioT, and that he is enshrined in their affections as the great North Caro- lina Martyr. True manhood had in him a magnificent exemplar, whilst pure womanhood felt that he was ever ready to dare, aud if peed be, die in its defence. As an editor he was the Tribane of the People. In their behalf and in behalf of Constitutioual Liberty and Personal In- dependence be was frauk, fearless and faithful. He submitted his proud neck to the foot of no master and bere the fanaa - nal nem aeggle eee eat him like the waters of the vcean, an outlying boulder,—with a steadfastuess and courage which almost brought tears of admiration from those best acquainted with his manifold trials. The elouds which lowered over him so long seemed to be breaking away, and the near future was beaming with prem: ise and public appreciation, when his Father iu Heaven saw fit to bring his career to an end. The spontaneous action of the commu- nity in which he lived has resulted in the appointment of the undersigned as Com- mittee to raise funds to erect a monu- ment to perpetuate his memory. From all who honor manly devotion to daty, unswerving reetitade ef purpose, heroic martyrdom, scorn of truckling ob- sequeousness and faithfulness in the dis— charge of public trust, we ask co-opera- tion in attaining the object of our appointment.

How many persons live only a fraction of average human life because they negiect to take the coin- monest precautions against sickness. It is disease in its maturity that hills, and maturity implies growth, A slight indispositon is usually slighted.

After the use of several bottles 1 was entirely cured. My skin is now as fair and smooth as that of anew born babe. This eruption was hereditary, as_ my father was similarly affected. He had also been en- tirely cured. I take great pleasure in re- commending it to others who are similarly affected. I can vouch for it. It is all it claims to be.

I have been afflicted with Scrofula from my infancy, and in consequence have al- ways been a frail and delicate creature. I might truthfully say that I was raised ehiefly on mercury and potash. These remedies for the time being would dry up the fearful ulcers, with which I suffered, bat they would return with greater vi0— lence. I was the merest shadow as to form and person. My digestion was all deranged and my existence was most wretched. | Everything that could be done, but no} apent benefit was derived. At last a t tumor came cn my neck _below the left ear. It increased in size until my head was forced tothe right shouider and in this ungainly and uncomfortable position, I was compelled to carry my head. The doctors decided that it was there to stay as long as life continued, and for many years it did remain. In March, 1884, “| the suggestion of Colonel John Traylor ‘ was induced totry Swilts Specific. My system responded to the medicine prompt ly, snd I began to improve from alinost the first bottle. That fearful tumor has all | disappearcd, and evcly appearance of the disease has left my persou except a sinall | hard lump onthe right side of my neck. | and that is disappearing rapidty. From a fragile little girl I have developed intu as healthy and robust youny Indy as there is In the neighborhood. Swifts Specific 1s fhe only remedy that has ever given me amy permanent relief, and I am_ in better feealth and weigh more than I ever did in aty life before.

FARM NOTES. Do not negleet the weeds now. See that they are killed off. Sheep enrich land very materially when feeding over it. There are six million miles of fen- ces in the United States. Bees are very irritable on the ap- proach of thunderstorms. The exclusive feeding of clover to cows gives lard cheese and soft lat- ter. Scientific agriculture is a big name but it only means intelligent farm- ing. Corn loses about six per cent of its weight by evaporation in eight months keeping. The most successful seeding to grass may be done July and August, after the grain crops are taken off, The best way to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before is to sow greater varivety. Sprinkling a garden plant tends to bring its roots near the surface; if water is used, let it be used freely. Nearly all the candied honey is bought in this market by importers, principally for shipment to France and Germany. Neglected fence corners soon be- come worse than unsightly, They become regular hot beds and forcing places for weeds, whence the latter are distributed over the farm, Plant walnuts in the fence corners this spring—it will inerease largely the value of real estate to have even young waluut trees grawing on it. —— ae Seed for an Acre.

Se ee Good Advice From a Humorist. To young men Bob Burdette says: “You take a basin of water, place your finger in it for twenty-five or thirty seconds, take it out, aud look at the hole that is left. The size of that hole represents about the impres- sion that advice makes on a young man’s mind, “Don’t depend too much on your family—the dead part I mean. The world wants live men; it has no use for dead ones. Queen Victoria can trace her ancestors back in a direct line to William the Conquerer. 1f you cannot get further back than your father you are better off. Your father was a better man in his time than old) William. He had better clothes to wear, better food to eat, and was better housed. — “If you are a diamond be sure that you will be found. Cheek, brass or gall never get ahead of merit. “I love a young man who is straight-forward, Ask for what you want. If you want to marry a rich man’s daughter or borrow $500 from him, ask him forit; it amounts to the same thing in the end, It is al- ways better to astonish a man than to bore him. “Remember that in the meruing of lifecome the hard working days. Hard work never killed aman. It’s fun, recreation, reiaxation, holidays, that kill, ‘The fun that results in a head the next morning so big that a tub could hardly cover it is what kills. Hard work never does. “Those whe come afier us have to work just as hard as we do. When I shovel the snow off my sidewalk, if perchance Itake a three-quarter piece off of my neighbors walk, I put it back, because if I didn’t I should be doing him an injustice. “You can’t afford to do anything but what is good. You are on dress parade all the time. “Don’t be be afraid of pounding persistently at one thing. Dvu’t be afraid of being called a one-idea man oracrank, If you have one idea you have one more than most men have. It takes a simurt man to bea crank.” _——_—- ~ > ~— sy MOTHER, Philusophers have anylized, di- vines lectured, and poets sung of ma- ternal Jove; bat which of them has brought {rom its fountains, to the heart of man, those nameless, num- berless, impassioned sympathies whicli make the melody of a mother’s ten- ' derness? No, there is nothing like it. In all after years we may set our hearts on what joy we will, but we shall never find anything on earth like the love of a mother. Oh! man, canst thou read, through the tear that trembles in the mother’s eye, the piercing gricf of her soul, as gazing upon the fond prattler, the thought obtrades itself that all ber pains, ber sleep-dispelling solicitude, and above all, the strength and de votedness of her love, may be paid with ingratitude! When the veil of death has been drawn over a mother, how quick-sighted du we become to her mevits, and how bitterly do we then remember every word or luok of unkindness woich may have escaped us! How careful should such thoughts render us in the fulfillment of those offices of aff-ction which it may yet be in our power to perform; for who can te}! how soon the moment may arrive when repeutance cavnot be followed by reparation. Were the affections of the mother felt and cherished by her children with corresponding symspathy doubt- less this earth would exhibit much more than of heaven than at present. A dear mother is the first to fold and shield our puny frames; the last to desert our clay cold forms; the rich, rejoicing, fresh, levely, and exuber- abt vine to twine in gracetul fitness round the rugged oak of manhood, clinging the cleser the louder the storm blows and the thunder roars. How anxiously she observes the budding faculties, the expansion of mind, the increasing strength of body! If her son falls into poverty, a bank- rupt in fortune, she is the first to soothe him. The love of Hagar is shown in the Old Testament. Lo wilderness, pareh- ed with thirst and panting from fa- tigne, she beholds her infant—her on- ly companion—dying from want of nourishment. The water bottle was empty. Placing her boy beneath a shrub, and moving to some distance she cried, “Let me not see the death of my child! Let me nut behold the severance of those ties which nature compels me to support and cherish,” “and she lifted up her voice and wept,” but she was nut left childless, “for God was with the lad.” oo —— A gentleman who knows something about the subject writes to us that he has reached the sage conclusion as to Judges that was arrived at by Lord Chancellor Lyndburst. “{f look a- round,” said he, “fora gentleman, if he knows a little Jaw, so much the better.” This is so far good advice that we ad if we may be allowed to explain. If either qualification had to be lacking it should be the law. Take “gentleman” in the complete acceptation of the term, and better a geneticman and no law than law no gentlemun.—Memphis Avalanche. It is said that persons who use to- bacco are not subject to fever, —— — From ‘Health and Home.” e A. sensible writer in’ an» English nragazine miakes the following re- marks on the relation of diet to rheu- matism, whieh are well worthy of consideration: Rheamatism is, as of- ten as not, caused-by overeating, and especially overindulgence in- meat, which is certain to cause an excess of uric avid, and render. the body liable on exposure to wet or cold, to an at- tack. We know that old people are proverbially liable to rheumatism. ‘The reasons for this are not far to seek. One is that joints and liga- ments are harder and stiffer, and very often contain deposit—urate of soda. Another is, that as a rule, people up’ in years eat more than is necessary to support life, under the mistaken notion that they want a deal of nour- ishment to keep them up. I say that on the contrary, the wear and tear of tissue is trifling compared to what it is in earlier manhood, and that far less food is required. Therefore, if an elderly person would live long, and be free of aches avd pains, and be calm in miund—for that isa great dig deratum—he or she must live ab- steniously, more or less. ———+>-— The First Confederate Batile-Flags. ee Fe anc eS Lena na : 5 _ From Mrs. Burton Harrison’s Re- collections of a Virginia Girl in the First Year of the War, we quote the following: “Another incident of uote, of personal experience during the au- tun of 61, was that to two of my cousins and me was intrusted the ma- king of the first three battle-fl:gs of the Confederacy, directly after Con- gress had decided upon a design for them. They were jaunty squares of scarlet crossed with dark blue, the cross bearing stars to indicate the number of the seceding States. We set our best stitches upon them, edged them with golden -fringes, and when they were finished dispatched one to Jubnston, another to Beauregard, and the third to Earl Van Dorn,—the lat- ter afterwards a dashing cavalry offi- cer, but then commanding infantry at Mannassas. ‘The banners were re- ceived with all the enthusiasm we could have hoped for; were toasted, feted, cheered abundagtly, After two years, when Van Dorn had been kill- ed iu Tennessee, mine came back to me, tattered and smoke-stained from long and honorable work in the field. But it was only a little while after it had been bestowed that there arrived one day at our lodgings in Culpepper a luge, basiful Mississppi scout,— one of the most daring in the army, —with the frame of a Hurcules and the face ofa child. He was bidden to come there by his general, be said, to ask if I wold not give him an or- der to fetch some cherished object from my dear old home—something that would prove to me ‘how much they thought of the maker of that flag! After some hesitation TL acqui- esced, although thinking it a jest. A week later I was the astonished re- cipient of a lamented bit of finery left ‘within the lines,’ a wrap of white and azure, brought to us by Dillon hisn- self, with a beaming fee. He had gone through the Union — piekets mounted ona load of fire-wood, and while pedling poultry had presented himself at our town bouse, whence be carried off his prize in triumph, with a letter inv its folds telling us how relatives left behind longed to be sharing the joys and sorrows of those at large in the Confederacy.” > i — A Buack Bruin FRoM THE BLACK. —Our old friend, “Big Tom Wilson, the bear hunter of the Black Moun- tain,” created excitement on our strects yesterday by his appearance with a young bear, carght iu the wild jungles of the Black Mountains, and brought here to be shipped to Mr. Wiliiams, of Fayetteville.

By malaria, how shall we escape the dread infection? is the question which the denizens cf fever and ague districts ask themselves.

It regulates the liver, facili- tates digestion, and liberates impuritics from the system, when such exist, by pro- moting healthful action of the bowels and kidneys. Act early. In all regions where miasinatic vapors breed disease, it is abso- guard, and this is true, though a sojourn in such localities is destined to be brief. No one can afford to breathe malaria for a short time. The Bitters is a sovereign specific for rheumatism, debility and nervousness. Keep it on hand. \ Sale of Land.

Cancer Cured, About three years ago there appeared on iny right breast several hard lumps which gave me almost intolerable pain. They continued to grow, and finally de- veloped into what the doctors called can— cer of the breast. Ina short time I found my strength yone and my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do nothing more for me. The cancer by this time was eat- ing out my very life, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use ef Swift's Specfic. The first influence-of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won- gerful medicine has brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, Lam perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person altogether, I can not feel too grateful for this wonderful re- covery, for I am satisfied if it had not been for Swift’s Specific I would have been in my grave to-day. I most cheerfully rec- | omm:nd it to all those who are suifering with this fearful disease. Mus. JANE CLEMONS. Atlanta, Ga., April 16, 1835. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dise ses mailed free.

The fact that the exhibit of the products of North Carolina at— the Expositions at Atlanta, Boston and New Orleans has been of immense benefit to the State will not be guin- said. There was made known an in- finity of productions and resources unknown almost absolutely to the outer world, and ina large degree degree concealed from ourselves. Kach repeated exbibit tended to an expauxion of (these latent power, un- til confidence has been ystined and fortified by the opinion of judicious and intelligent observers to claim for this State a wider variety:of product (han any other State can do, an abun- dance ef store that in some particu- lirs has not been equalled, aud au exc iience of quality that has uot been surpassed, The effect has been to engage and fix the attention vf investors aud capitalists, and eu- cerprises based upon the intormation cyuied in those expositions ave veeu set on foot in every part of the state, Jiterally from Currituck to Cherokee; for each section of the state has its peculiarity of produc- (uns each, promising such rich reward v capital and industry, that no part vas escaped investigation; and every part has drawn to it some new ven- ture of enterprise, only limited or re- tarded by a financial condition which is abnormal, and therefore but tem porary. Profiting so much in’ the present and in prospective by what nas already been effected, it wouid be eminently unwise in) North Caro- lina to stop short in the steps already taken for advancement. If what has been done at home has been produc- tive of such undeniable good, what may be done abroad will be the more brilliant in results. We propose to exh bit ov a Jarger and grander the- atre to spectaturs who oust have the scene spread before their own eyes, because by far the largest number and most interested among them caunot go abroad to see. We propose to beard the British Lion in- his den. Phe London exposition gives the op- portunity we want, In such exposition, all that we would propose to present would be the raw material, It would) be folly to present toa British public the crude results of our mechanical skill, or the products of our Jooms in con- trast with the finished works of Bir- mingham or Manchester. But we could open the eyes of manufacturers of those centres of skill to a new or valuable sources from whicl: to ob- tain their supplie-; or we could offer to the mercautile world inducements to obtain from us direct, supplies which they now obtain at sec- ond hand; or we could show to the agriculturist what be might gain by transfer of his capital and industry toaceuntry where he could largely inerease his profits under the same conditions of health, social relation, and the security of laws as he enjoys at home. ‘These would be the im- portant object of demonstration, ‘To accomplish this, it would only be necessary to transfer the store of mineral specimens already exhibited in preceding expositions to London.

An exhibit at | London, made under snel) conditions as te dispel all doabt, would give new direction to thought, and also to trade, This State would become the recognized source of supply; would secre the orders now given to the Virginia market; woald establish wealthy agencies here fur purchase and supply, aud) would dealers in the field of competition for participation in the immense and val- uable contiacts annually entered into by several of the European govern- ments inthe maintenanee of their vast mon polies for the contro! of to- baceo. found all. over the State—are more especially interested than any other classes of producers, because the bene- fits can be wore immediate; and cou- pected with them, and on half, the dealers and manufacturers should act. The Agricultural De- partment is authorized by the act which created it to make exhibits of the State Industries at home or a- broad, this power wisely civen that the farmers way have their interests lairly and couspicuously represented. But ifabroad, the eost will be more than tauds of the Deparimeat will justify.

New York Herald. Our Washington correspondent re- ports that Democrats are considering t.e advisability of making some im- portant changes in the rules of the House of Representatives. They are: First. To unite the Appropriations committee with the Ways aud Means comnnittee, and re-impose on the lat- ter the duties it was charged with an- til 1865, when the Appropriations comuiittee was created. ‘Phat seems to usa very sound return to the old practice. At is certainly business tike to let the same committee whieh con- siders the expenditures co sider also the taxes by which they are tu be met. In that way the books can be balanc- ed, and no such oppressive aud need- less taxation would be Jaid) upon the people as resalted during several years in the collection of an enormous sur plus revenue, which led patarally to wasteful and even corrupt legislation, Second. It is proposed, according to our correspondent, Chat uy nak ing up its scheduies of expenditure and taxation the Ways aud Meaus come mittee shall balance each of the great heads of expeise by a special tax, and he gives a sumple of such schedule. There would remain always a consid- erable variety of expenses, to balance which minor taxes would be laid. Bat undoubtedly such a system would wave Lie advantage of enabling the people at large to detect easiiy and quickly any tendency to extravagance or wastetal use of money by their Representatives, At present, while the totals of the appropriation biils are easily accessible, the taxes are laid with no reference at all to the expen- ditures, aud the true relation of taxa- tion to expenditure is cencealed from the people.

A man came here with a ring that had a beau- liful opal set in it, and told me to take out the stone and Jet him see some other gem to take its place. I asked bim if he was going to get rid of the opal altegether, and he said that he Was going to distroy it. I was rather surprised, and said: “Dow t do that; VIE give you $50 for it.” “He declared that he didw’t want money for it; that it had brought him nothing but bad lack since he bought it; that he failed in busiuess and lost two Of his children, and all, of course, on account of a littie piece of stene. 1 went over to that bench and took the opal out of its setting, and while looking at the ring L laid the gem on the beach beside me. As quick as a flash that man pickel up a nammer that was lying among the tools and hit that stone a whack that smashed it lato a thousand pieces. There was uothing left, ‘Pueu te said: ‘Phere!’ in a satisfied manner, It’s too bad, lor the opal is one of the prettiest of gems in the world.’—M, Y. Sun. | Mexico’s National Drink. What the Napa valley is to San ‘Francisco, the Western reservoir to bio, or the Orange county dairy re- gion to New York city, are Los Lianos de Apam to the city of Mexi- co—the principal differcuce being that maguey is milked in lieu of cows and pulque is the product. Some idea of the maguitude of this kind of agricul- ture may be derived ffom the fact that two special pulque trains run daily Into the capital city with the same regularity that milk trains come into our metropolitan cities, vielding the railroud a revenue of $1,000 a day freightage. The legend runs that somewhere about the year 990 a Tol- tec Tudian,-whose name was Papant- zin, Was first to discover that the juice of the agave Americana might be dis- Wiled iito a beverage fit for the gods. Desirivg to bring the new blessing into royal favor, he commissioned his only daughter, Xoabiti (signitying “the flower of Anahua’”), as cup bear- er tothe king. This ancieat Hebe, we are told, was young and beautiful and the monarch vot only drank and praised the pulque, but married the maiden, And to this day the bever- ave of old “Pap”’—as no doubt his dutifal descendants call him for short —is the universal drink of the lower classes of Mexico, and no doubt it is one of the most healthful beverages in the world, When jast right it is milk white, thick and repy, much re- sembling buttermilk in color, taste and consistency, ‘Phe Lndiaus are passionately fond of it —the one solace aud comfort ia their lives of toil and penury—as bature has placed exhaust less fountatas of it by the waysides and in thedeserts. ‘Lraveling Amer- cans tarn up their poses at the first taste of it, but generally end by be- commg as diligent pulque drinkers as was old Papautzia uimselt, — San Francisco. ee The wire-worm hus done great damage this seasoa.

Taking the line already built to Leba- non asa start, continue on to Sparta or Livingston, over coal beds four or | five feet thick, the only true sub-con- glomerate coal known of a workable thickness, lying within sixty feet or less of the surface, and sixty miles wide, over the plateau of the Cumber- land, with all of its posibilities down Daddy's cree, by very easy grages, crossing the Cincinnati Southern at or near Wartburg, reaching the East Tennessee valley through Winter's gap, crossing in its descent seventy-five miles of fine coal of good thickness, passing along under the eastern base of the Cumberland mountains, strik- ing inexhaustible veins of fossiliferous red hem itite iron ore, such as is used at Birmingham, Gadsden, Chattanooga, Dayton an1 Rockwood; then up the northwest side of the Tennessee val- ley, following its beds of coal and iron to Coal Creek, on the Knoxville & Ohio Railroad, passing up Powell’s Valley, reaching the valuable and practically undeveloped zinc mines, still through coal fields and iron beds; then turning east across the valley to Johnson City or Bristol, giving Nash- ville the shortest possible line to the seaboard at Norfolk, and competing with Knoxville and Baltimore for the trade of upper East Tennessee and the lower Virginia valley. At Johnson’s or Kingsport it will cross the projected line from Charleston to the Ohio at the mouth of the Big Sandy, by means of which it would form intimate connec- tion with the rich interior system of Western North Carolina, and by its northern line will be enabled to reach with all its wealth of coal and ore the heart of the great Hanging Rock iron district, where now seventy-three blast furnaces are idle for want of this ma- terial which that line of road would bring it, and, besides, it will build up blast furnaces, and manufactories to line the whole extent of the road after it reached the Cumberland mountains. This road would open to the trae of Nashville a large extent of fast grow- ing country now occupied by Knox- ville, Chattanooga and by Baltimore and by its connections—the high, heal- thy and rich timber and mineral re- gion of Western North Carolina, East- ern Kentucky and West Virginia— giving her merchants and manufactur- ers double the territory they now pos- sess, and on the return giving to her an unlimited supply of cheap fuel, ores and timber which her rapidly grow- ing mannfactures need, and, with a direct and easy connection with the seaboard, will give cheap transportation for her products and make her without arival inthe South. A little enter- prise and push will give Nashville this line of road with all its wealth of increasing material and commercial prosperity. ae Too Much for One Night. Lost in the Mountains.

Writing of dogs reealls to the write: that he saw Dr. C. W. Dabney, State Chemist, recently with a splendid specimen of the therough bred Shepherd dog. It wasa puppy, not quite grown, and the Doctor, who is keenly alive to every interest, no matter bow small, so it tends te the upbuildiug of some industry in the State, said: “I tell you, sir, this dog is about the only lope left to the sheep in- terests of the State.” The Legislature will never give the sheep raiser any relief from the ceaseless ravages of dogs on their flocks. The legislators all own dogs and so do their constituents Dog is not the text the young and budding politician takes when he climbs the stump and looks into the faces of sovereigus. Not much! He dare not kick a friendiess eur in the road. But to resume, Dr. Dabuey said that “this dog, when well trained, With the assistance of an old man, (or ove disabled from manual labor on the farm,) was sufficient fur the ample protection of at least 300 sheep.

First, the press was indignant over “General Order No. 5,” kuown av the “gush order.” Ifthe camp had been de- serted ivstantly oo the reading of this order, bo surprise would have been felt in the State. It woald have been cause justifiable. Next, the Guard, or part of it, are iudignant over “General Order No. 17,0 the reprimanding and disbanding |document which was occasioned by the premature abandonment of camp without orders from headquarters, by certain of the forees. This has oceasioned much bitteruess among the soldiers. Then the pro and cou of the awarding of the prizes has come in for a for a share of publie at- tention. Now the discussion of the blue and gray is waxing warm, The soldiers who wear the blue don’t like it becuase the ladies prefer and deligit in the gray, while the boys in gray are proud of the preference, and so the wrangling goes on. While all these things are feeding the wonderment of the people, other important auxiliary facts are coming slowly to the trout, and they are facts which come la- dened with the perfume of ‘<distilled in- terest.” It seems now, from the correspondence in the Winston Sentinel, that liquor was uo stmuger in camp. The people are tod that “on the night of the long roll there were officers seen upon the ground so full of liqaor they could not preserve their equilibrinm.” This correspondent “pertinently asks,’ why the commissions or these officers should not be revoked, It wonld be difficult to find a good reason for not doing so. | The Watcuman has no particalar in- terest iu the matter, except in the general | low for everything.

Those in blue knew that a preference was felt for the gray, and while they had adopted the blue in ae- cordance to the regulations governing the military of the State, they were mace to feel that they were not so popolar, especially in’ the female eye. The Neice and Observer, both editorially and by its correspondence complains of this sen- timent in favor of the gray. The Watcu- MAN is in sympathy with the gray, and felt that the sentiment of the people ot the State had been outraged by its adop- tion. It does not matter by whom the uniform was gotten up, ar what bedy secured ita adoption, the fact stands out as plain as day, that the people favor the gray. It isa matter of sentiment and the best remedy iu the casé will be to let itvight itself. The writer does not believe that the preference given the gray would have been 50 noticeable had not the zegulation color beeu blue. In other words it is the first opportunity the people have had tobe heard, and they have spoken. Do away with the regulation and allow the companies to use theirown judgment, or make the regulation read “‘gray” justead of “blie.” When the girls of the State take sides, as they have done, the boys had better give up. Those in blue may prove themsel- ves right, aud show their fidelity to the regulations, but arguments and logic don’t effect the girl on the balcony who waves her handkerchief in cestaey when por du they get up se eariy iu the morn- ing as iv other cities.

It seems that wrangling and con- tentions only were bred, and that the first was a failure, unless it be aceounted a success that the soldiers went into camp. Something is wrong and somebody is to blame, Itis hinted that whisky in the camp was largely responsible. It is report- ed that Mr. Whisky, who is no military mau, was among the first arrivals at camp; that he was greeted good natur- edly by all, and was allowed all the prive ileges of the camp; that he was under no restrictious, civil or military, and that he had just as good sv time aa any man in camp. If this is so, aud it is so reported all over the State, there appears at once a reasovable solution to the great troubles oar soldiery are contending with.

[From Our Regular Correspondent. ] 1335: The Greensboro Patriot: Brazil is strug- gling with the slavery question. As leng ago as 1826 the father of the present Em- peror, five years before his abdication, made a treaty with England for the abo- lition of the slave trade, which was ex— teusively carried on before that time. Tweuty years ago Dom Pedro Il. gave fiecdom to the slavesof. the govern- ment, and fourteen years ago the Legis- lature provided for the gradual emanci- pation of all slaves in the Empire. From that date to this the question has beeu more or less in dispute. uv, 29 Btw) WASHINGTON, A Washington is very quiet now. scattered, aud the clerks are runving the well regulated Governmeut Machine.

Lawyers are proverbially poor witnesses, and Mr, Clement proved no exception to the pro- verbialism. He was put on the stand to testify. It 80 happened that he had been op former oceasions counsel for the de- fendant. SelicitorAdams asked him to state what he had seen. The witness declined, stating that he had bees counsel for the defendant and that his kKuowledge on the subject was so blended with his profes- sional knowledgeas counsel for the defend- ant thathe couldnot seperate it. The Judge said he must answer. Yet the witness hesitated. The subdued noise of the court room was suddenly hushed ‘and it was evident to the luokers on that a crisis had beeu reached. Again the Solicitor put the question, again the witness de- clined, claiming the courtesy of counsel for refusal to apewer. The Judge and Solicitor could not see the delicate point, avd the situation began to beeome very interesting. Witnesses who refuse to an- swer questions on the stand must go to jail. Vhe lawyers Jooked grave. The witness must answer, and probably con- viet a former client, or go to jail—at least that looked tu be the only alternative. But lawyers are nrev who avoid points of danger with much skill, and the gepi- us of the Bar was equal to this emergen- cy. It was suggested that the opinion of lawyers vot interested in the case should be aseertaiped. It was then proposed to appeal to the Solicitor, as the Judge proved obdarate. The Solicitor was ap- pealed to with the request that he with- draw the question. Mr. Adams isa young man of ability aud thoroughly conscien- tions. He declined to withdraw. Then the older distinguished members of the Bar plied him with strong appeals to yield to professional courtesy and with- draw the question. The Solicitor finally gave iu saying he yielded to the superior ood more, in peau chit | Tartu. POSTMASTER BOYDEN INSTITUTES AN IN- VESTIGATION RESULTING IN TRE CaP- TURE OF THE ROBBER. Jethro Almond was arteated on last Monday at Albemarle, in Stanly county, aud committed to jail, being accused of the systematic robbery of the U.S. mail between Salisbury and Albemarle, — The facts in the case are aboat as fol- lows: for several months Postinaster Boyden had been convinced that the mail on this route was being tampered vith, but he was unable to detect just where and how it was done. Registered pack- ages that had come over this line were frequently reported rubbed, but all the seratiny given the ontside of the packa- ges as they arrived here could avail noth- ing in unraveliug the mystery. Mr. Boyden wrote the Department stating all he knew about the matter and begged lor assistance. About this time four packages came ap from Albemarle rifled. The Department sent Messrs.

I have suffered for years with an erup- tion—breakiny out at intervals all over my body. At times my hands wou!d be useless, which were both painful and an- noying. All other remedies had been exhausted, when my merchant bere, who handles 8. 8. 8., induced me to try Swrift’s Specific. [tried one bottle and could sze that the sores on my hands were drying up. After the use of several bottles I was entirely cured. My skin is now as fair and smooth as that of a new born babe. This eruption was hereditary, as my father was similarly affected.

Inthe Charleston News and Cou- rer there is aspecial from Raleigh giving a ‘der that was perpetrated in Moore county in 1869. A negro was killed, and it wascharged that the awful ‘KuKiux bad done the devilish deed. One Radieal magistrate, named Spi- vey, was conspicuous In his denun- The dispatch says of the new develop- ments: “The other day this man Spivey quarrelled with his two ass a‘es, McDonalds and McDuffie, also whe mev, and neighbors. He testified that they killed the negro. The case was heard before a magi-trate, who released the men, McDonald and McDuffie, on bail. They at once laid information against Spivey, and charg- ed him with the crime. The same magistrate sent Spivey to jail, The latter appliedefor a writ of habeas corpus, Ona hearing the other two men appeared against Spivey, but their hopes of having him jailed and themselves escaping were blasted, for the Judge sent all to jail. They tell the most horrible stories of the crimes they have committed, each man de- claring bis own innocence, but impli- cating his comrades, They tell of murder, arson and various outrages. /All the men have been ultra Repub- licans, aud their deeds in the days of 1869, they said, were laid at the door of the KuKlux.” North Carolinians will not soon forget the dark days of 1869 and 1870, when Holden put some of the foremost gentlemen and best citizens of the State in jail, declared martial law, set aside law and justice, and sent out the cut-throat Kirk aud bis lambs to terrorize it over the good people of the State. Judge Kerr, Hon. Josiah Turner, the venerable Dr. Roan, the venerable Mr. Rowe, Frank Wiley—these aud other peace- ible, law abiding citizens were drag- ged trom their hemes and put in prison under guard and without: any offence on their purt. It will not be forgotten that in 1875 Gov. Holden madea voluntary, tree and frank confession to Dr. Bail- ey and two otber Baptist ministers of high standing. He admitted that his own Rad-cal people had murdered stevens in the Yanceyville court house, and that the crime was charg- ed against the Democrats for politi- cal etfect. Now here at this late day—ten years after, in 1885—comes another confession of hellish erimes perpetra- ted by Radicals and charged upon the unoffending white Democrats. Not ouly this, but it is probable that oth- er crimes of a most diabolical sort were perpetrated by Radical villians and charged upon Demucrats. The Raleigh dispatch says: “LPhis brings up some facts with reference to another crime.

Says the writer: . Our macadamized roads are made by “corporations.” Our County Court jodges have a right and the power to incorporate bedies politic, to make roads, to organize manufacturing bo- dies, to build hotels, &e. The County | Commissioners subscribe as a rule for- ‘a part of the capital stock. To take a fair average of our macadamized roads and costs, &e.: The Hagerstown and Sharpsburg pike cost $26,000. The county sabseribed for $4,500 of the stock; individuais subserived for the balance. This road is thirteen milesin length and has three toll- gates—the charges for toll are; Horse and rider, three cents at each gate, one horse buggy or wagon, five cents; two horse buggy, carriage or wagon, means ‘white.’ The term ‘poor buckra’ , jused to be applied by the negroes to the poor white people. If you will re- member, before and guring the war, there was a class in the South whose | members were very pog, very ignorant, and seemingly devoid of all ambition i toelevate themselves. That class could ‘not have -xisted if slavery had not ex- .isted. Its members were despised by the negroe:, and they, in_ turn, despis- ed the wealshy whites.y With the dis- appearance of slavery they disappeared.” “What has become o* them?” I in- "quired. | “The older ones have taken their | places in the cemeteries, and the younger ones, asa rule, have taken positions among the thriftiest of the workers that are making the new South. It is strange that nobody has thought to bring out the history of the ‘poor buck- * No other class of people ever pre- ra. sented such a rapid and complete revo- lution. There are plenty of poor peo- ple, but there are no ‘poor buckra.’ The abolition of slavery and the establish- ment of free schools equalized classes in the South, and gave the ‘poor buck- ra’ opportunities which they quickly seized. Yes, sir, the ‘poor buckra’ are unknown quantities in the South.” The emancipation of the “poor buckra,” for it was an emancipation, may justly ten cents; four horse wat broad be regarded as one of the good effects tire, that is five to six inch tire, of the war.

Before the pike was made to Sharps- burg the county appropriated 3170 a year to keep the road in’ repait; now the county receives a dividend of $270 ayear. It appears that the county saves the $170 and receives a dividend of $27U—8440 per year. In ten years the county saves and re- ceives $4,400—ihe amount of the stock quaintances some of the descendants of the “poor buckra,” and without excep- tion they are men of iniluence in the communities in which they live. I know one descendant of the “poor buckra’” whose course deserves imita- tion. His father was a blacksmith. He himself worked in his father’s shop during the day, and at night he gather- ed together his books and spent many hours in hard study. Accumulating a small sum of money as the result of his labors during the day, he went to school. Acquiring a fair education, he returned to the blacksmith shop, and at night he engaged in the study of medicine. To-day he is one of the taken by said county.

From time immemo- rial it has been believed that if'a mar- squarely in the face with a stone, sie will immediately obtain a husband and an advantageous settlement for life. Evidently the founder of the the tradition was acquainted with the fact that wemen are not expert stone throwers. If it were not for this la- mentable disability imposed by na- ture the poor image would have been demolished long ago. As it is, the batter face, which bas lost all sem- blance of “features,” and the heaps of small stones lying all about, attest the industry of the weaker sex, as well as their good sense in desiring to be married.— Vera Cruz Letter to the Sacramento Union, Your correspondent has had a con- versation with the lady at whose house Geo.

The universal verdict of every man woman and child in this county is Rail- read communication to some commercial mart at the earliest possible moment. Why? For several good and substantial Yeasons, First: Fifty years of growth and grad- to the advancement of our county is, of itsclf, a sufficient reason why we ought to have the benefit of railroad communi- cation, Second: Our constantly growing posi- tion a8 an inland town, and the marked improvement in all ef oar and relative consmercial values, render the consumation of sueh a scheme at this parhinee. Third: The exigencies of the times de- mand au oudet for our warketable crops, inasmuch as expeditous tlansportation is to the farmer and the manufacturer of the utmost importance in the exchange ef all commodities. Fourth: Above and beyond all, Davie County is too rich and productive a sec- tion to be left outside the pale of steel rails and steamboat communication, and to remain dependent upon wagens, carts and vehicles for the carrying away of her crops which amount yearly to over around million, Can arailroad be built between this point and Salisbury during the forth coming year?

Are not these figures suggestive? Cans vot a railroad be built, equiped and put in running order on the strength of these figures, which, if we reckon aright, are far below the average than above it. Surely we have cause and sufticient veasons to clamor fora railroad.

For this period of time he has labored in the interest of christianity, and very touchingly he exhibited the identical bible on Sunday morning given him by the church on his departure twelve long years ago. With triumph in his heart and a ylitter in his eye he talked to a congregation of people that were roud to acknowledge faim one of tnem. Hs experiences in China enable him to give clearly and ina very in- teresting manner a full account of the modes and manners of the Chinese. The citizens should avail themselves of the opportunity to receive such an intellectual treat as a lecture on China would prove to be from one so well versed. It is to be hoped he will take up his residence in this State, as on ac- count of the ill health of his little children it is deemed unwise to return to China. Dr. Davisis ason of the late D. A.

Another distinguished visitor is the Howard Summerell, formerly a resident of this city, who at present occupies the pulpit of the Pres- byterian church in Tarboro, N. C. He assisted Dr. Davis at the services on Sunday morning and in the evening delivered a telling sermon from the text “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,’ in which he vividly dainted the church as a “majes- tic poor house, spiritually” to use his gwn simile. It is needless to say that the young men who were only a few years ago his playmates thronged ithe galleries to listen to their learned and cultured companion. He returns soon to resume his labors and will take with him the good wishes of all the commuuity. oO Personan.— Mrs. Thos.

Gross, of the Catholic church of Charlotte, was in the city on Monday. 0 —-——_ The question of rebuilding the old Locke Bridge across the Yadkin has been agitated, at intervals, ever since the old one was destroyed; but the cost of so doing has footed up so enormous- ly, that asa public enterprise it could not be undertaken. Just now there is a way by which this scheme might be perfected. The Railroad Company is tearing away their wooden bridge and constructing and iron one in its place. Now the WatcuM An's plan is to nego- tiate with the Railroad Company for the displaced bridge, which can, no doubt, be purchased at small cost, and as the timbers in it are well preserved, and already of bridge shape, it could be removed to the old site, placed on the old rock piers which are still stand- ing and with a little repairing would be as good as when first built, and the thing that has so long been the cher- ished desire of both Davidson and Row- an counties, would be completed at a less cost than figures heretofore giveii, have revealed.

Mr. Julius Earnheart, the honest and well known farmer of Franklin town- ship comes forward with 5,000 pounds. What are we going to do with it all? Exclaim the proprietor’s as the wag- ons file in and the floor is fast filling up. Then the song of Happy Sheppard is heard signaling the buyers and in they come. LKagerly they eye the bright and beautiful piles. Now they smell it. The face of each is hid in a handful of it. Some faces come out pleased, others doubtful. They are giving “tips” and “points” to one an- other and are interrupted again by the auctioneer who informs the buyers to give the honest farmer a fair price as it is on him our country must depend. The sale commences, and at the end of a few short hours the sale is completed, and all is quiet as they have gone into figures at the Warehouse while the farmers have been to the bank’s drawn their well earn: money and are on their way home rejoicing. The business in this city is but in its third year of activity. Yet it gives employment to over 500 people. And oh! how it is growing. More tobacco was raised this yearin lowan than ever before. From this interest aldne old Salisbury will realize thousands. The citizens may congratulate them- selves onthe status of the market here. After hard work and many dis- couragements it is an established fact that Salisbury is to deal in thousands of dollars worth of tobacco annually. Let the names of J. D. Gaskill, Theo. I. Kluttz, Esq., M. L. Holmes, Eugene Johnston, Jas. B. Lanier, John Shep- pard and that energetic worker, Capt. Beall with Beall, Bost & Foard be re- corded as_ the pioneers in the business. And when in yeurs to come Salisbury is awakened by the noise of factory Whistles and bells let us not forget the founders of this move that brought the tobacco interests to such a success- ful and prosperous point.

THE MAJOR'S ESCAPE, Major Anthony Hartletop was a very good match indeed, as Miss An- gerona Dilworth and the gossips very well knew: | To be sure, he was rather bald and had a wart on his nose; but, then, he was the owner of many acres of rich land; he possessed herds ef fat, short horn cattle and flocks of long wooled | Merino sheep; he raised untold quan- tities of amber cane, to be sade up jinto sugar; and was, all told, the Tichest farmer in the neighborhood of Sugar Maple village. | As for Miss Angerona, she was not ‘very young, but neither was she old. She was not remarkably plain, nor jcould she be called pretty. For the Test. she was rather sharped featured ane sharp-tongued, so the neighbors d | | | | eclared, though the major had not iscovered this fact. Miss Dilworth was not a benevo- lent person, yet she had taken her or- 'phan niece, Avis, to raise, ; Avis Dilworth was a hearty, mer- ‘Ty girl, in spite of her aunt’s crabbed temper, with a round face, deep dim- ples in her cheeks, a pair of laughing blue-gray eyes, and plenty of vim and life about her, though demure and quiet as a nun under Miss Ange- rona’s sharp eyes, Indeed, many people asserted that If Avis were only decently dressed, ‘and allowed the advantages she de- served, she would be quite a belle. But Miss Dilworth’s old garment’s | however neatly made over, were not ‘sufficient to se: off a good figure to )much advantage, They were all poor Avis was al- lowed, however, and she sighed in ) vain over the crisp new lawns, the sheer white muslins, the fluted ruffles and fresh, plumed hats of her more | fortunate acquaintances, | At last Major Hartletop had pro- posed to Miss Angerona, in a good, substantial, plainly expressed letter; ,and Miss Angerona had determined |to accept the proposal, “If he is bald and ugly,” she re- marked to herself, “he’s rich, and inoney covers a multitude of bad looks. Besides, it?ll spite that stuck up Widder Flukes, that’s been a sct- ting hercap at him this month or more; an’? as long as she wants him Pd have him, it he was ba'd us an egg an’ ten times as ugly as he is!” But, in spite of his defects, Major Hartletop was good hearted, and as romantic as many a man with a glos- sy head of hair and no wart on his nuse, He was really in love with Miss Angerona, and after sending his pro- posal, the moments seemed weighted with Jead until he could receive her answer. At last his impatience grew un- bearable, “I won't wait no longer,” he de- ciared, I'l] just call around and get her answer right away, or I shan’t sleep a wink tenight, 1 know.” And popping his hat on his head, he set off on the winding,country read which led to Miss Angerona’s dwell- ing, his mind busy with pleasant fan- cies of what the future might have in store. “How nice ivll be to have my wife a setting at the head of the table, or stepping around the house, overseein’ the butter and cheese makin’ ,” he mused. ‘An’ that pretty Avis, too. She shall have better clothes than she wears now. I s’pose Angerony can’t afford to dress her any better; but I’! sce to that. She shall have a white dress, with lace flounces, an’ one o’ them crimpy things girls wear around their necks, to stand up with us in.” And so, his mind busy with cheer- ful pictures of the happy future, he reached Miss Augerona’s house, as- cended the steps, and was about to knock onthe open door, when a shrill, high pitched voice reached his ear. “A new dress! No, Avis Dilworth, you can’t have it! A pretty question to ask, when I’ve got my own clothes to buy, if. I marry that bald headed scare crow, as I s’pose I shill! A fine thing for you to come asking for duds, uiiss!”” . “But, aunt,” returned Avis, plead- ingly, “I haven’t anything fit to wear to church.” “Oh, indeed! So you go to church to show your clothes, hey? You bet- ter stay at home if that’s what you go fur. An’ when I marry old Hartle- tep—why he condn’t have a decent name I don’t see—you won't be nu better off than you are now, if he is rich, I shill be as savin’ of his moncy as I kin, so when he dies Vl have something fur myself. An now go ’long an’ milk that cow; she’s been a bawlin’ this half hour.” The poor majer, half stupefied by this astonishing revelation, stumbled off the steps and got out of the gate he scarcely knew how. . And now here was a predicament! How was he te marry such a—a vira- ? he reasoned, mopping his hed with a huge red handkerchief, And yet, how was he to get out of marry- ing her, if she ehose to accept him? He had serious doubts whether be- ing called a “bald headed scare crow” would exonerate a man, in the eyes of the law and public opinion, in re- fusing to fulfill his offer of marriage, And yet, marry her he couldn’t— he wouldn’t. Thus he assured him- self over and over again. Miss Angerona, meanwhile, pro- ceeded to write her letter, accepting Major Hartletop’s proposal. Having written it, she laid it on a corner of a table to dry, and with compressed lips and a look of determination in her cold, gray eyes, she drew anoth- er letter from her pocket, and open - ing it, read: “My Dear Avis: I have called twice to see you, but your aunt re- fused me admittance to the house. I am therefore compelled to write what I had meant to tell you personally. You must know already that I love you, Avis,and I want you for my wife. Will you marry ‘me? Please answer as soon as possible, as I shall be in great suspense until I hear from you. Yours forever, Richmond Alder.” “Hum!” muttered Miss Angerona, with a smile of grim satisfaction. ‘It’s well I didn’t give her the letter. I shan’t allow her to marry very soon. She’s too much help to me, I couldn’t get nobdy to take her piace an’ do all she does for love nor money. And now fur your answer, Mr. Richmond Alder.” Major Anthony Hartletop and Mrs. Candace Flukes. And so Miss Angerona Dilworth had lost both her lover and niece all through her own treachery, and Major Hartletop never repeated the lucky escape he had made.—Helen Whitney Clark. __ rE oe One cf the Finest Regions of America Almost Unpeopled. The Southern mountain region is one of the least known territories ip the United States. It occupies a gent- ly-rising platau about 60 miles wide and 200 long, from West Virginia to the northwestern coruer of Georgia, lying between the Blue Ridge on the east and the Great Smoky range on the west, and gradually rising from its northern boundary, where _ its elevation is about 1,000 to 1,500 feet above the sea level, to its southern extremity, where it reaches an eleva- tion of 3,500 feet. It isa country of valleys and mountains; the valleys are broad and gently sloping, and rise gradually to the summits of the ranges Which intersect it in every direction like the threads of a net. All through this regiou the streams flow rapidly down the slopes, threading the tortu- ous valleys, falling in the most beau- tiful cascades over the rocky ledges, and rushing through the gorges until they: unite in large streams which flow westwardly into the great Ten- nessee river, From the nature of the country it And taking up her pen, she wrote, slowly and carefully: “Ihave received your letter, and my answer is No. I can never marry you. A. Dilworth.” | ‘Thavll settle him,’ she decided, ‘Ai’ ’tain’t no forgery, either, seein’ ‘A’ stands for Angerona as well as Avis.’ And inclesing the two letters in envelopes, she directed them, slipped them in her pocket, and carried them to the postoftice herself. | ‘Now I know they’re safe,’ she commented, with a sigh of relief, as , she retraced her steps toward home. | * * * * * * Major Hartletop had passed a wretched night, According to his own | statement, he had not slept a wink. | When Jake Soper the hired hand, | brought in the morning’s mail, as’ usual, le felt’ a nervous tingle down | to his finger ends, | With a quaking hand he opened | Miss Angerona’s letter, and, much to his reliet, read: ‘I have received your letter, and my answer is No. I can never marry you, A. Dilworth,’ to say the major was delighted would hardly express his feels. He almost felt as if he could forgive Miss Angerona for calling hima ‘bald- headed scare crow,’ in consideration of her having refused him, Tucking the letter in his pocket, he went whistling about the house, like a school boy. After dinner, he saddled his riding mare and rode down to the village, to see a trader about buying some of his fat cattle for beef. Tying his ‘nag’ under a shady tree, he proceeded toward the village store and met Miss Angerona face to face. She simpered, smiled and tried to blush, The major bowed coldly and passed on, Astonished and chagrined, Miss Angerona detained him, and demand- ed the cause of such behavior. ‘What behavior?’ asked the major, coldly. . ‘To pass me without speaking, whea—when we are engaged to be marry!’ ‘Engaged!’ cried the major. ‘Why, you have refused me!’ ‘I didn’t: I accepted you!’ contra- dicted the lady, flatly. ‘I have your refusal in black and white; here it is!’ he retorted. And taking a crumpled note from his poeket, he read it out to her. ‘1—I— it’s a mistake!’ gasped Miss Angerona. ‘I never meant it!’ ( ‘But you wrote it, and that’s enough for me. Good morning, ma’ani!’ Aud the major trotted on to see about selling his beeves, while Miss Angerona stood angrily beating her- self for her own blunder. ‘I must have sent the wrong letter, and now that Alder will get the oth. er, What a fool I was,!” And she hastened her steps home- ward to prevent further mischief from the unlucky mistake. "But she was too late. The house was shut up; no signs of life about, no Avis to bescen. On the dining table lay a note, which said: “Dear Aunt: Since you have ac- cepted Mr. Alder’s proposal for me, you cannot blame me for marrying him. We are going to the minister’s now, and will be happy to see you at our home whenever you choose to As ever, your nieee, Avis,” Miss Angerona’s feelings were not greatly improved when, a few wecks Jater, she read the marriage notice of come. is wholly free from swamps and marshes; the mountain slopes are rare- ly precipitous, but rise gradually in easy grades, are for the greater part covered with deep, rich suil, which bears the most magnificent forests of valuable timber, and, when cleared, produces the finest grasges, wheat, vats, fruit, corn, tobacco, and other crops usual in the northern States, Although in the heart of the cotton region, it is too cvol for this crop, and the average temperature is remarka- bly equal the whole year, the summers being quite cool and the winters mild, At the present time it is very Sparse- ly settled, being scarcely penctrated by railroads, which, however, are gradually making their way through it and opening it up for settlement.

The children were pla ing in the yard where the pig was ki fel when it occurred to them to repeat the opera- tion they had witnessed the day before. The two older children, for the want of a pig, agreed that they would make their little brother the victim, They procured the knife used by their father and first drew it across the throat of the four year old child, watching him as he lay on the ground bleeding to death. They then stuck in the tendons of the child’s feet and swung it across the same pole on which the pig had hang. The corpse had already been stripped. en then disemboweled the corpse, catching the entrails in the tub, and repeated the process of washing the body as the pig had been cleaned. About this time the mother of the children came out to look after them, when her horror-struck eyes met the terrible ae of the dead child hanging to the te e. She became fradtic with griefund may die. _ A coroner’s jury was summoned, but it decided that the children were too young to be held legally responsible. Hunting Water With a Baboon. If when upon a long hunt or journey the Kattir be unable for a long time to find water, he sometimes avails himself of the instinct of one of those animals which he frequently keeps in a domes- ticated state—the baboon, or chacma. The baboon takes the lead of the party, being attached to a long rope, and al- lowed to run about as it likes. When it comes to a root of babiana it is held back until the precious vegetable can e taken entire out of the ground, but in order to stimulate the animal to further exertions it is allowed to eat a root now andthen. The search for water is conducted ina similar manner. The wretched boboon is intentionally kept without drink until it is half mad with thirst and is then led by a cord as before mentioned. By what signs the animal is guided no one ean even con- jecer but if water is in the neighbor- ood the baboon is sure to find it.— American Field. rr © i e-em Pearls and Diamonds. A London expert tells me that of old the world received each year new dia- monds of about $250,000, in value on the average. Suddenly, from South Africa comes a new supply, exceeding $20,000,000 worth each year for ten years. In consequence, the price of diamonds has steadily fallen from $15 grass and herbs, which are abundant |.to $3.75 a carat. and afford excellent pasture for stock. Cattle, horses, mules and sheep live in the woods for nine or ten months in the year, and can (and do) live the year round without any serious losses, F locks of sheep drop their lambs in January and February, and with some provisions for feed and shelter will rarely lose a Jamb even at this season of the year, As only about five per cent. of the land is cleared and culti- vated, there is abundant room fur the for immigration, and land is very cheap. Lhe whole region is now the largest reserve of valuable timber re- maiving, and persons who would de- light in helping to maintain an equa- ble balance between forest arable land, with all the advantages which result from. it, can there find ample oppor- tunities of cultivating their tastes in this dircetion. The timber is chiefly hard wood ; walnut, chestnut, hickory, oaks, ma- ples, birch, the poplar, white wooed, or tulip tree, which grows to enor- mous size; and some white pine and hemlock. The flowering shrubs are the great charm of the rigion. The magnificent laurel, so called, but re- ally the rhododendron, with its grand clusters of bloom, lines the banks of the streams and covers the walls of the recky gorges. Azaleas, kalmias, and a great variety of the health fam- ily, including the trailing arbutus, cover and beautify the mountain slopes. Lhe great money crop of this re- gion, next to cattle, is tobacco, the tine yellow-leaf variety growing here of the finest quality, and sometimes selling for $1 per pound. This busi- ness has already brought great wealth into the country, and has added thou- sands to the population of some of the larger towas. he larger portion of the rigion lies in the western part of North Casolina, a State which is pro- gressing and developing rapidly un- der the tustering care of a liveral aud enterprising State government. A Baby Butchered. The Horrible Deed of two Little Boys. The most horrible tragedy in the criminal annals of Alabama, happened in Talladega county Saturday, about nine miles from Talladega City, near a little country place called Peckerwood. J. H. McCowan, a respectable farmer, on Friday last killed and dressed a pig as his contribution to a eens barbecue. The pig was killed, clean Of course, it is known that when they go over a comparatively insignifi- cant number of carats diamonds take a leap into the thousands. Brazilian dia- monds are very fine stones, but no stones found there or in the South African diamond fields are as lustrous and beau tiful as the gems in the gala decorations of Kast Indian princes, and those which have been obtained in India during the past century by conquest or purchase. hese came mainly from the mines of Golconda. The ex-Khedive of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, is said to have the finest collec- tion of diamonds, rubies and emeralds in the world, aggregating several hun- dred thousand dollars in value. Large rubies of a lurid, lustrous red, without a blemish, are scarcer than big dia- monds, and are, consequently, more valuable. Jix-Queen Isabella, of Spain is said to have the finest pearls in the world; and the unaccountable loss of many of the most valuable gems in the Spanish crown jewels set the tongues of Spainish courtiers going. King Al- fonso, Isabella’s affectionate son, pro- bably thinks his mamma’s continued absence a pearl beyond price.—New York Citizen. + >< ee A Hint for Husbands. The Boston Trauscript says: Mr. W. is quite an elderly wealthy gentleman, having for his second wife a lady many years his junior aud much petted. Any express wish of hers he has at once grati- tied, if money could be the medum. One evening she remarked in her charming way, ‘I saw today at—store a lovely camel’s hair shawl that I want ever so much. Would you bring home to-morrow acheck? It’s only $1,500.” ‘Yes, dear,” he replied. “I will bring the money,” and the next evening, with the assistance of his porter, he did bring home and plac- ed on the parlor table fifteen hundren sil- ver dollars. At the sight of this pile of metal, weighing nearly a hundred pounds the wife exclaimed: ‘‘What are you go- ing to do with all that money?” “Why! love, it’s the money you wanted for the new shawl.” Good gracious! Does it take all that to make $1,500? Why I had no idea it meant so mach. I will do with- out the shawl and will put it allin the savings bank, if you will let me.” And she did so, and she has since added sev- eral sums to the deposits. Mr. W. affirms, on his honor, that since that eyent she has not asked for a quarter part so mach money as before the incideut. The aboy is nota fancy sketch.

Rector brought in esterday after- noon two men Wm. 1 Hopkins and LaFayette Hopkins, arrested in Way- nesville charged with passing counter- feit coin. The accused were examined before Commissioner J. Wiley Shook, and the proof was deemed sufficient to justify their committal. The counter- feits are imitations of dollars and half dollars, very rude presentments of the red coin. They are not calculated to deceive; yet a number of half dollars had been put off on the ignorant or unwary.

A man who would cheat a poor bride is mean enough to do anything.

It is under a most excellent management, and is well filled with attractive displays, both important points for the success of the nterprise. . Tro States are represented —Califor- nia and Kentucky. The California ex- hibit is under the management of Commissioner Chas. B. Turrill, who is an active, wide awake ear of that distant State. He has succeed- ed in securing a more effective and at- tractive arrangement of the exhibit, than was shown last winter in New Orleans, and the exhibit is as large, exeept in the mineral display, as was shown there. Particular prominence has been given the wood display, and it is a very fine one. The display of citrus fruits is also large and attractive. Kentucky has set up her State col- lective display again, and has succeeded iw making an effective and interesting gallery of her illuminated photographs. ictures are of landscapes, stock, etock farms and grazing lands, and af- ford one a glimpse of the State. The State's resources are not so well display- ed, as at New Orleans last winter. The foreign exhibits do not amount to much, except affording a pleasant place fo shop--to buy little toys and trinkets. There is nothing of a col- lective or representative foreign exhibit of any kind in the building. The Jerusalem Jew, in frock and fez, hawking olive wood from Jerusa- lem, and trinkets from Palestine, the Holy land and other places is frequent- ly met with. In some instances, he is known in local circles just across the Ohio river, but bearded, and in frock and fez, mikes a different spectacle of most men. Among the attractions and amuse- ments is a skating rink inthe building. The beginer has a large audience and he is called back—to his feet—very of- ten. He is always a success at the first ce. ‘There is a good display of machin- ery in motion, and some splendid ex- hibits of manufactured articles from the various agricultural implement and other industrial factories of Ky. The U. S. Geological Survey and Bureau of Ethnology make an exhibit of great interest. The Art Gallery is filled with really fine work and is well worth the trip to see. There are more. than four hun- dred paintings—real works of art—, done by Harrison, Mosler, Elder, Caliga, Boggs, Kapps, De Forest Brush, Inness, Wyant, Dewey, Murphy, De Hass, Rehn, Dolph, James Hart Fredericks and many others. The attendance is not very large, yet the management seem contident of success. Louisville is a live city, with wide awake, energetic business men, and all the surroundings of the place indicate thrift. More may be said in future of this exposition, but for the present, this carsory glance must suftice. —_——— > iP oe Davipson Cotiece.—Rev. J.

Lanp Sares.—Sales of large tracts of land are reported all over the South. In our State we re- cord the sale of 50,000 acres in one tract to Dr. Whittier of California and hear reports of other negotiations daily. There have been several land syndicates formed in London, England, for the ue of large tracts of cheap land. e hear from New Orleans of pur- chases made by them in Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia. What doosall this mean? Just this. That there is a vast amount of idle capital at the north and in England which is in want of safe investment that will prove profitable. Here it is to be found at a glance. In a few years the purchasers will begin to turn their attention to manufacturing and wherever this has been done in the South it has proved a great profit and glorious success. oe Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin, the distinguish- ed temperence lecturer, of Charleston, S. C., who has spoken to large and ap- reciative audiences throughout the North and South, will attend the State Cenvention of the Woman’s Chnistian Temperance Union at High Point, on the 10th and 11th instant. It is stated that she will afterwards speak at Wins- ton, Greensboto, Durham, Raleigh and other places in the State. All who are interested in the cause of temperance should secure the services of this talented lady whose arguments are said to be very convining. ——b> <i> “That good fellow and public-spirited North Carolinian, T.

Record. *' What he writes can be relied on.” —-State Chromiele, -.- “Forakerisms.” Foraker the Republican candidate in Ohio “tates the cake” for manufactur- ing statistics where he tells his hungry mates that Southern democrats have killed more negroes in ten years than were: killed at Gettysburg. ‘The idea that he wants to convey aceording to statistics is that 35,000 negroes have been killed off in the South to prevent their voting. Such a liar! Good people say “aurivoir” to Mr. Foraker when he dies, as he will never be seen again. He will be given a lit- tle brimstone and matches off to him- self. “Foraker hasn’t got along in the history of this country as far even as John Sherman has. How bewildered these men will be when some one tells them what has been going on during the past twenty years.—Phila. Times, Ind. Rep. Some of the New York Mugwump papers favor a Republican victory in Ohio. They stand by Foraker and Flapdoodle and flourishing of the bloody shirt. They must think that sort of thing is funny as well as reform. But to healthy nostrils the odor is vil- lianonsly rank and old.— Wil, Star. Chinamen are having a bad time at Rock Springs Wyoming. The trouble is that they agreed to work at such a reduced. price in the mines that the white labor found it impossible to com- pete with them. Consequently the white miners had a meeting the con- clusion of which was that “the Chinese must go” and gave them warning to leave within one hour. But while “John” was making all haste to get off on time the men became impatient “and went for the heathen Chinese.” Murdered them. Burnt the:r huts and drove them to the hill. Later reports say that other camps have ordered the Chinamen to move out and that the celestials all along the line of the Union Pacific refuse to go to work on account of fear of being murdered. While all this murder and_ treason seems brutal, and it is brutal, yet we must remember there are two sides to the story. Put yourself in the white miners place. They have been receiv- ing $3,50 to $4 per day and even agreed to work at $3. They discovered the mines, developed them and in fact did all the experienced labor to bring the different enterprises to a paying point when incomes the cheap labor man with his “Him worke for two dollar day me worke for one dollar,” “Him worke for one dollar me worke for fif- ty cent day.” While this does not ex- cuse the acts they have committed, yet it is something on the side of the [miners and prospectors who have built up the West. Congressman Jas. A. Brady was about to leave Norfolk, Va., when J. W. H. Porter, Editor of the ‘“Ports- mouth Enterprise” bethought himself of an insult he had received from Mr. Brady, whereupon he proceeded to the R. R. depot and extended to Brady an invitation to mix with him on the platform, to which Brady did not con- sent. Whereupon Porter smote the Congressman, and timely friends pre- vented further operations at present, although it is thought the story will be “continued in our next.” That is to say it is not over yet as Porter contin- ues to fume and wants to eat the Con- gressman. _—— ——~<>---— ---—— English Capitalist Looking to Ala- bama. The Anniston ( Ala.) Watchman says: “Mr. George Chambers, of Talladega, who has been in England for the past three months, reports capitalists over there as very enthusiastic about the Al- abama iron and coal fields. Such is the interest being taken and so conver- sant are the moneyed men with our re- sources here, that he easily succeeded in organizing a company with a capital stock of £50,000. epresentatives will be here about the 9th of September, and they propose to at once toerect two large iron furnaces somewhere near Tal- ladega. While such interest is spring- ing aan the iron business all around us, it behooves our bright little city to not only maintain her own, but to branch out into other enterprises. The town that does not advance retrogrades, and we feel sure that our people are not willing and will not submit to a downward growth of Anniston. Never was such attention being directed to- wards the South and soon our every in- terest will take a solid and substantial growth.” —— ~— > ——____- GENEVIEVE WaRD AND THE Maori Kina.—An exchange says: “Miss Gen- evieve Ward, the actress, who recent] completed a season in New Zealand, was greatly annoyed by the attentions of the Maori King. She writes toa friend that he seemed to be fascinated with her, and attended every perfor- mance in which she took part. He finally secured an interview, and asked her to marry him. As he is already the ssessor of several wives, Miss Ward eclined the honor. The King thought this was her reason for refusing him, and he at once offered to kill all his other wives, so that she should have no occasion for jealously. Strange to say, she still declined.” The News-Observer notes that Ral- eigh’s supply of cabbage comes from Norfolk—sometimes from New York, —and hopes to see the day when the plant may be domesticated and raised in North Carolina.

John Kelly, leader of the Tammany partyin New York, in a recent letter nominating a candidate for Serif, steps to the front in the attitude of Dictator to the Democrata, which, it is thought by some, must seriously disturb the harmony of the party; by others, that the letter is consistent with democratic union. © There wasa snow and rain storm in Dakota on the 4th and 5th, which is deplored as very damaging to the interests of the farmers. Three fourths of the grain crops were cut down but lying in the fields, heating and sprout- ing. No threshing has been done, and it is feared there will be nothing to thresh. The Cholera is still prevailing in Spain. Reports from all the infested districts on Saturday last, show 2,147 new cases and 770 deaths on that day. England desires to withdraw her troops from Egypt, and the British enable her ta do so by establishing a firm government in the country. Reports say that the tobacco crop of Granville county, will fall short this year on account of the drough! last month. The Charlotte Observer of Sept. 8th compliments the Rev. John W. Davis very highly on his sermon in that city on Sunday last, and gives nearly five colvmns to its readers, of interesting facts regarding China expounded by Dr. Davis. We are proud to acknow- ledge him from Salisbury. One hundred Chinamen who were under contract to work at the Rock Springs mines in Wyoming territory, it is reported have been massacred. 130 are said to be missing. They were brought in there because of the diffi- culty in obtaining white laborers. The trouble is not yet ended. An exchange says farmer Smith M great care and watching all throug the summer has raised a water melon weighing 60 pounds. That's nothing. Geo.

A hall for the boys will be built as soon as possible. Presdent Cleveland, who has_ been spending some weeks in the country, living simple and easy for his health, has returned to Washington, and it is said very much improved. A letter dated at Arcadia, La., Sept. 5, says that up to the 10th of August, the cotton crop in that section, and, in- deed, in many other parts of the South- ern country, was looking remarkably fine; but that about that time the Cate- pillar, rust, and the borer struck the cotton, and have diminished the pros- pect by at least one half. and some neighborhoods more. The small pox is prevailing as an epidemic in Montreal, Canada. One of our exchanges says Jas. B. Staples of Culpepper, Va., has been ar- rested for having two wives, and re- marks that he is thought to be mean. The fact of having two wives is some proof to us. The fatal epidemic in Clay county, West Virginia, is still running its course, and the county authorities have set themselves to work in - earnest to afford relief. The disease shows no The County Court has appointed a commission consisting of Doctors, to visit infected houses and instituted measures for the arrest of the disease. The Commercial Bulletin of N. Y. City, brings out some very remarkable figures in respect to the Commercial importance of the Chinese merchants and traders in California. They are not all day laborers, cooks and laundry- men. Their merchants, bankers and shippers, are shrewd and competent men. The Bulletin presents the fol- lowing: During the last quarter, for instance, the Chinese merchants and their agents exported goods to the amount of $585-, 273.55, while the merchandise exported by whites was of a value of only $237-, 915.58, local business houses sending $74,014.11 and transportation companies $163,901.57. Thatis, abeut three quar- ters of the business for the months was controlled by Chinamen. During the same quarter Chinese houses shipped $913,507.55 iu treasure to Hong Kong, while banks sent out on their account over two millious more, and for the fiseal year of 1884-85 the exports of treasure aud merchandise amounted to ' $18,028,414. Besides thia, Chinamen re- turning to their native country all car- ried money, which in the aggregate was a great sum. A correspondent of the London Times says that potwithetunding the cholera ‘stricken condition of Spain, the Envoy has admonished the Sultan to} ges of fruit consigned from that country to the United- Kingdom every week, notably nuts -from* Barcelona; lewons frow Valencia, and grapes from-Almeria, these last being packed Yo barrels filled up with cork dist. Thousands of packa- ges of Spanish fruits and nuts will also reach our ports during the next few months, and there is no way of diseover- ing how many cholera germs play come here in this manper. The crowd at Riverside Park was larger yesterday than at any time since the day after Gen. Graut’s faneral. Strag- glers began coming early, and a steady line poured past the tomb all day. Over 40,000 people visited the park daring the day. Cel. Fred Grant and his wife visited the temb on Saturday evening. Early on Sunday Mrs. Mary Martinet, whose hnahaud was Quartermaster with Grant at the time of Lee’s surrender, laid upon the casket a beautiful wreath of blue immortelles which she had made fer the purpose.

Sun. fa The Object of the North Central and South American, Exposition. The leading object of the North Cen- tral and South Amesican Exposition is to develop more intimate trade relations be- tween the 55,000,000 producers and con- sumers of the United States, and the 48,- 000,000 producers and consumers of Mex- ico, South America, Central America, and the West India Islands; in other words, to stimulate an exchange of our surplus manufactures for their surplus raw meterials. : The imperative necessity for a new commercial movement in this direction can best be appreciated by reference to some official facts and figures. These figures show that of a total an- bpual demand ameunting to $475,000,000, the United States supplies but $77, 000, 000, or 16 per cent. Of the total annual exports of these countries, amounting to $479,000,000, the United States takes but $163,000,U00, or 30 per cent. ~ In other words the exchanges of Cen- tral and South America are mainly with -Europe. To deflect this great and rapidly in- creasing trade to our own porta is one of the fundamental objects of the Exposi- tion. Situated, as New Orleans is, in the geographical and transportation centro of tne Western Hemisphere, and near its centre of population, it is the place above all others to inaugurate a hemispherical commercial policy.

The farmer should be very careful in curing this season. Very little bright golden tobacco has been produced this season, owing largely to faulty artifi- cial curing.

The prices will run very low on the ordinary grades, while for bright golden wrappers and smokers, prices must stay at highest figures. —————————0— A. H.

Smith- deal, who is ever alive to the interest~ of the city and county, regarding the building of a bridge near the R. R. crossing, he says: “Baldy yee and I with others at the back of us, have gone into this thing and are going to the bottom of it. We have telegraphed Col. Andrews to know at what price we can purchase the timber in the R. R. bridge they are now tearing away to be replaced by an iron one. We believe with these timbers we can build a bridge for something like $2,000 as the old stone piers are still in good condition. If we can do this it will bring hundreds of wagon loads of Tobacco and cotton this way which at present wre debarred on account of crossing thefriver. Our next plan will be to have a direct road or extension of Main Street right tothe bridge, as farmers and others object to driving along side of the track.” Can any one possibly object to this bridge or the plan pare Can any merchant or citizen of Salisbury refuse And canenough be said in praise of Mr. Smithdeal, Boyden and others interested, if they work this business to completion?

For some time the Davir Times has eudevoured to show, not only the practi- bility but the paying investment of capi- tal in the construction of a railroad from this place to some convenient point as au ingress aud egréss to one of the best age ricultural sections in the State. The Times has backed its assertions by in- disputable figures which cannot fail to attraet the attention of capitalists looking for safe investments. As Salisbury was for many years, and is how to gome extent, the point of entry to Davie County, it was the market also, and makes it more desirable for railroad connection; and if the people of that place are not anxious to see the scheme already maped out consummated, they are, in our opinion, blind to their own interest. Winston and Statesville have, for the past decade, enjoyed the greater benefits of Davie’s trade, which would be turned toward Salisbury and her agricultural products emptied in our lap if proper transportation was afforded. Without a tailroad this produce is bound to find market at the above named places as they are neare and more convenient by the crude mode of transportatiou—wagons; bat a railroad centering here would give easy access from all parts of Davie aud turn the commercial tide toward Salisbu- Ne The qnestions to be answered by our Salisbury friends are: Do you want a rail- road from that place here -and reap the benefits arising thereby? If so, are you willing to meet us half way with fifty cents in the dollar of the actual cost of constructing and equiping said road? If Salisbury answers these questions in the affirmative let her citizens meet and select representative men aud name the day, and Davie’s representatives will meet to perfeet arrangements by which the ball can be pnt in motieu.

For twenty years I have been afflicted with a dreadful blood poison, and during all those years I have had the best medical advice in the country, the physicians pre- scribing the only remed¥es known, such as Mercury and [odide of Potassiuin, all to no purpose. I was six months in Bellevue Hospital, and became so bad that I despair- ed of getting well. I then, through advice, went to Europe and tried some of the best physicians there with the same results, and I returned again to this country, Finally I went to New Orlenns, being told that the French doctors understood the treatment of my case better, and perhaps could cure me. Alas, however, after taking more mercury and potassium from them, I became: so much worse that I gave upto die. So bad had I become that I was a sight to be- hold, I had large ulcers all over my body and face. There were holes in my legs that you could puta hen’s egy in, clear down tothe bone. A number of picces of bone came out at my ankle, and now I carry the scars on ny face and body of the frightful character of this disease. I then came back to Providence, and by chance got hold of a paper with the advertisement of Swift's Specific in it of a wonderful cure. As a last hope I thought I would try it. Thanks be to God, I can say to-day that Iam perfect- ly cured, having taken medicine about three months. Up to the present date no symp. toms of the disease have returned, and I feel as well as before Iwas poisoned. 1 have nothing but two sears to show that I was ever afflicted. I consider S.S. S. the best and only remedy to positively cure blood poison, and I honestly recommend it to all who are athicted as I was, ALBERT ELLIOTT, Providence, R.

FROM THE OLD DOMINION. I have been a sufferer for many years from Catarth and Blood Taint. After the application of all the known remedies for such discases, I found myself last summer on the very verge of the grave. Nothing seemed to do me any good. As a last resort I commenced taking 8S. 8.8. and have taken inall 18 bottles. Before I had finished the second bottle I felt a decided improve- ment, and am today enjoying most excellent health—better than for many years. I take great pleasure, therefore, in recommending Swift's Specific for these diseases. Mrs. E. J. CosNawaANn. Richmond, Va., June 29, 1885. SWAMP MALARIA CONQUERED. I have been using Swift’s Specific in my family for the past two years as an antidote for malaria and also asa blood purifier, with the most satisfactory results. I live on the banks of the Ouchita river, in what is called the swamp country. Myself and family enjoy as good or even better health than the average people who live in the hill country. Iam confident that 8.58. 8. has banished the malarial poison from our systems, and consequently given us good health. I useit atintervals during the spring and summer, when the system7 indicates being charged with poison, and it invariably drives it out. E. B. Cryers. Trenton, La., June 30, 1885.

Thad along and serious spell of typhoid fever, It left me emancinted and a cripple inmy rightleg. At times that limb was swollen an enormous size, being twice as large as its natural condition, and inflamed and angry in appearance. From my knee down small sores came, and at the ankle a large ulcer came, which discharged poison- ous matter. My whole system became infec ted. The doctors would pateh me up for awhile, but the ulcer would never heal. The mercury and potash with which they dosed me brought on rheumatism and dys- pepsia, I was an object of pity to all my friends. Some thought that the only hope to save life was amputation, Teontinned to grow worse, and tor three years I have pot worn ashoe. Hope had almost. leit me. Swift’s Specific was suggested, and 1 commenced its use at once. From thé very first I began to feel better. I have taken 36 bottles, and the shadows which had darkened my life for 28 years have all been dissipated. The effect of the medicine has been wonderful indeed. Today I am able to attend to all my farming interests and walk from one to five miles a day. Iam satistied that the disease is entirely broken up, and henceforth Tam to be free from those ter— rible apprehensions and suffering which formerly made my life miserable. Swift's Specific has done more for me in one yea: than all the drug store medicine prescribed by physicians did in 28 years, and I most cheerfully bear this testimony of its merits. Wo». R. Reep.

I might truthfully say thatI was raised ebiefly on mercury and potash. These + remedies for the time being would dry up the fearful ulcers, with which T suffered, bat they would return with greater vio— lence. I was the merest shadow as to form and person. My digestion was ull deranged and my existence was most wretched. Everything that could be done, but no permanent benctit was derived. At last a reat tumor came on my neck below the eft ear. It increased in size until my head was forced tothe right shouider and in this ungainly and uncomfortable position, I was compelled to carry my head. The docters decided that it was there to stay as longas life continued, and for many years it did remain. In March, 1884, at the suggestion of Colonel! John Traylor I was induced to try Swift’s Specific. My system responded to the medicine prompt ly, and I began to improve from almost the rst bettle. That fearful tumor has all disappeared, and every appearance of the disease has left my person except a small hard lump onthe right side of my neck. and that is disappearing rapid'y. Froma fragile little girl Ihave developed into as healthy and robust young lady as there is ln the neighborhood. Swift's Specific is the only remedy that has ever given me any permanent relief, and Ilam_ in better health and weigh more than I ever did in my life before.

Yes; I often get that way myself, Go on.” ‘Poetry is the perfume of life; the fragrance of love; the blossom of all good : ‘And the distraction of every news- paper man.’ ‘It fills the soul with windows; wings the feet; makes mountains speak, and clouds commune together ) ‘But it can’t pay the rent, or put buttons on a shirt.’ ‘Perhaps not; but it can fill a cab- in with the music of heaven , ‘But it can’t put a pie in a poor man’s pantry.’ ‘There’s no use in wasting elo- quence on you, old man. You have no poetry about you,’ ‘May be not; but I’ve got a little money drawing interest, Tom, and the children are fat and hearty, thank you.’—Chicago Ledger. —_—_ <> Shooting at Pipes. Soon after the boat left Vicksburg, a young man in a swell suit brought out a pearl-handle revolver, and be- gan shooting at floating objects on the bosom of the mighty Mississippi. His olject seemed to be to show eff, and as a knot of passengers began to ap- plaud his shots, he grew what might be called triumphantly reckless. The steamer presently overtook a flatboat loaded with hoop poles, bound for the New Orleans market. ‘The steersman, wearing a broad-brimed hat and red shirt, was a very prominent figure. ‘I’ve seen the day,’ remarked a pas- senger, ‘that I could put a bullet through that chaps hat and not harm a hair of his head.’ ‘I can do it myself,’ replied the shooter. ‘I doubt it, sir; doubt it very much. If you make that shot, you can call yourself the champion of the world,’ What did the idiot de but haul off and pop away! We saw the man’s hand go up to his ear, and it wasn’t half a minute before his place was ta ken by a second man, and he was pull- ing off for us in his small boat. He was alongside, and not a man of us moved as he rushed upstairs with a bowie-knife as long as the leg ofa chair in his mad right hand. The shooter was whiter than chalk, but his sang froid was the genuine article. Before the man with the bleeding ear had come within ten feet of him he had a $50 bill out of his wallet, and, taking a step forward, he held it out, and said ; ‘Sorry to have troubled you, my dear sir. I intended to leave it for you at the first landing. I shot to break the pipe in your mounth, but hit your ear, This is my regular price when I make such blunders,’ Red Shirt hesitated —took the bill —scanned the figures on the corners —slowly put up his knife, and then turned and left the steamer without having said one single word to one of us. ‘The nerve and money of the dude had prevented that wicked knife from tasting life blood.— Detroit Free Press. —-</apb-— - CHEYENNE Wyoming Territory, Se tember 3— The Leader has the follew- ing special from Rock Springs, Wyom- ing: The largest coal mines in the en- tire Union Pacific system are at Rock Springs, . miles west. of Cheyenne. e company recently imported a large number of Chinese to take the places of the white men employed. Yesterday afternoon the entire force of the white miners, about 150 strong, organized and arming themselves with shot-guns marched to Chinatown. After firing a volley into the air, they reloaded and ordered the Chinamen to leave. The order was obeyed at once, the China- men fleeing to the hills, closely pursued by the miners, who fired several volleys at the fugitives, with fatal effect. The Chinese quarter was then set on fire and thirty-nine houses owned by the company were destroyed, together with their contents.

Of 400 China- men here yesterday morning not one remains. All of them are in the hills, heading for Green River,fourteen miles west of here. Seven were killed out- right by~ the shots fired by the miners and many were wounded. It is said that several who were feeble and help- less from disease perished in-the flames. Sheriff Young arrived from Green Riv- er on aspecial ti un yesterday afternoon with a posse of deputies, but they were too late to prevent the mob from carry- ing out their plans. The miners quietly dispersed, after having made sure of} the departure of the Chinamen. Every- thing is quiet at this time. OE oe Couldn’t Eat Corn From a Cob. There was a httle dinner party the other night, and the fresh cobs of smil- ing corn were very tempting. They were handed round. One young gen- tleman started vigorously in to eat it from the cob. There wasa kind of a lull all around the table. There was a little hesitancy about touching that corn. The young gentleman kept en- joying itimmensely. This went on for a long time, and finally one lady took a cob and began cutting it off. “T like to cut it off first with a knife,” she said. “So do I,” said nearly everybody else, and good humor immediately reigned. “T think corn tastes much better,” said a man on one side of the table, “when you cutit. 1 never could eat corn from the cob.” “Nor I,” was a little chorus. “Besides, it doesn’t look nice.” “No.” The young gentleman who had been eating it straight grew slightly uneasy. But a quiet fellow who was away at the other end said in a kind of. diving- bell voice: “I can’t eat corn from the cob, either, because I’ve got two false teeth, and I can never tell the corn from the teeth.” ° And everybody got red in the face and laughed “Ha, ha.”—San Francisco Chronicle. rrr ee Mr. R.

Y. Graphic. EP How many persons live only a fraction of average human life because they neglect to take the com- monest precautions against sickness. It is dikease in its maturity that kills, and maturity implies growth. A slight indispositon is usually slighted. They who avail themselves of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitter’s know it to be efficacious in chronic cases of disease, but the process of cure is a far easier one if it is used in the early stages of dyspepsia, malarial disease, rheumatism, constipation ank liver derang- ment. Let those who would avoid the peril which even the most potent remedies cannot avert, steer clear of the rock upon which so many constitutions split—an under-appreciation of the danger of neg- lect. Jt will not do to omit care and a resource to medicine when health is affected. If debilitated or nervous or dyspeptic take it for granted you are in want of a remedy, use the Bitters.

Cancer Cured, About three years ago there appeared on my right breast several hard lumps which gave me almost intolerable pain. They continued to grow, and finally de- veloped into what the doctors called can- cer of the breast. In a short time I found ‘my strength gone and my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by this time was eat- ing out my very life, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift's Specfic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won- derful| medicine has brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, Iam perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person altogether. I can not feel too grateful for this wonderful re- covery, for I am satisfied if it had not been for Swift’s Specific I would have been in my grave to-day. I must cheerfully rec- omm :nd it to all those who are suffering With this fearful disease. Mrs. JANE CLEMONS. Atlanta, Ga., April 16, 1885.

New York, Aug. 15,1885.—We have lately been reading a good deal about the greatest heroes, greatest. generals, &e., that ever lived. I remember when’ a youth reading that somebody once asked Napoleon who was the greatest general and he made the noble reply, “The Saviour,” whose constantly m- creasing armies for 1,800. years had marched over the world. Would. it-be asking you too much to print his exact words, or can you say where they can be found? K.P. Reply.—The following is found at page 171 of Arvine’s Clyclopoadia of Moral and Religious Anecdotes: “I know men,’ said Napoleon at St Hele- na to Count de Montholon, ‘I know men, and I tell you that Jesus is not a man! The Religion of Christ isa mys- tery which subsists by its own force, and proceeds from a mind which is not a human mind. We find in it a mark- ed individuality, which originated a train of words and actions unknown before. Jesus is not a philosopher, for his proofs are miracles, and from the first disciples adored him. Alexander, Cesar, Charlemagne, and myself found- ed empires; but on what foundation did we rest the creatures of our genius? Upon force. But Jesus Christ founded an empire upon Love; and at*this tor, millions of men would die for Him. ‘7 die before my time, and my body will be given back to the earth ‘to become food for worms. Such is ‘the fate of him who has been called the Great Na- poleon. What an abyss between my deep misery and the eternal kingdom of Christ, which is proclaimed, loved, adored, and still extending over the whole earth? Then, turning to Gen. Bertrand, the Emperor added, ‘If you do not perceive that Jesus Christ is God, I did wrong in appointing you a gene- ral.” In-Growing Toe Nails. This most painful of the diseases of the nails, is caused by the improper manner of cutting the nail (generally of the great toe,) and then wearing a narrow, badly made shoe. The nail be- ginning to grow too long, and rather wide at the corners, is trimmed around the corner, which gives temporary re- lief. But it then begins to grow wider in the side where it was cut off; and as the shoe presses the flesh against the corner, the nail cuts more and more in- to the raw flesh, which becomes excess- ively tender and irritable. If this state continue long the toe becomes more and more painful and ulcerated, and fungus (proud flesh) sprouts up from the sorest points. Walking greatly in- creases the suffering, till positive rest becomes indispensable. Treatment; we omit all modes of cutting out the nail by the root, and all other cutting or torturing operations. Begin the effort at cure by simple applicatiou to the tender part of a small quantity of per- chloride of iron. lt is found in drug stores in a fluid form, though some- times in powder. There is immediate- ly a moderate sensation of pain, con- striction or burning. In a few minutes, the tender surface is felt to be dried up, tanned or mummified, and it ceases to be painful. The patient, who, before could not put his foot to the floor, now finds that he can walk upon it without pain. By permitting the hardened, wood-like flesh to remain for two or three weeks, it can be easily removed by soaking the foot in hot water. A new and healthy structure is found firm and solid below. If thereafter the nails be no more cut around the corners or sides, but always curved im across the front end, they will in future grow only for- wards; and by wearing a shoe of rea- sonable good size and shape, all further trouble will be avoided.— Bostwick's Journal. nn ———C—CTCz=S=S A Little Warning. Here is a story printed for the ben- efit of the girle: “A young woman iy New York married December last a man many years her senior. She now wants a divorce 00 the ground of cruelty, the one act specified being that her husband violently squeezed her hand. The judge, 10 een ne the case, says: “The main grievanc of the plaintiff appears to be that the defendant is parsimonious and jealous. There is a difference in the age of the parties that is unfortunate for them both, The na does ae ee an / husband a congenial co - te this the law can afford no remedy, Nor can the remedy for parsiony. The husband wishes the wife.to liye on $5 a week. This sum the wife thinks inadequate, and -certainly it is very little. But then itappears that the wife’s méther and sigtets’-are Sinmates of the house- hold, aud it-is. very likely that he is determined not to encourage..them to remain by spreading :before them a -bountiful table. They. have been mar- ried only a few months, and they have not yet given married life-a fair trial. The husband cannot be com- pelled-to maintain his wife’s relatives. The husband has not refused —on the contrary he expresses his willingness to provide for his wife. It is my im- pression that instead of having fur- ther litigation the parties had better meet and try to make the best of each ether, There is no doubt there is disappointmeut on both sides, and that the wife’s anticipations have proved to be Dead Sea apples, but she has no case that entitles her to aid from the courts.” Murder of the Chinese. Says the Charleston News and Courier: “The wholesale murder of Chinese laborers in the Northwest goes far beyond anything that has ever been charged, with truth, upon the Southern people in their dealings with the negroes, and is without the excuse that might have been made for race collisions in the South. The Chinamen were not making a distur- bance of any kind, were violating no law, were unarmed, and were peace- ably at work. Their sole offense was that they were working for a low rate of wages, and for this crime their white neighbors turned out in a body and chased them and shot them down like wild beasts. We shall look with interest to see whether there is going to be the same amount of tear shed- ding over the massacre of these men as over the hypothetical slanders in regard to the riots in the South. The colored people undoubtedly stand on a lower plane, in many respects, than the Mongolians, but as the latter can- not vote, and as the Republican party does not claim to have a proprietary right in them, it is not likely that the bleody blouse will be shaken to any extent. — Nearly as Bad as the Murder. The Chatham Record says: We hear that on last Tuesday night a party of disguised men arrested the wife and sister of Jerry Finch, who is confined in jail on suspicion of be- ing one of the Finch murderers, and attempted to extort information about the murder from them by banging them up. It is said that eaeh of the women was hung up twice, but both persisted in declaring that they knew nothing about the murder to tell. We much regret this oecurrence, as it did no good and is calculated te do harm. Destructive Hail Storm. Port Toxsacco, Md., September 7.— The most destructive hail storm ever known in this section of Maryland occur- red Saturday evening. Entire fields of corn and tobacco were destroyed, inmany not a leaf of tobacco having been left on the stalk, and ears of corn broken from the stalks, while little more than half ripe. The bail stones were as large as pullet eggs, and the destruction was general where the storm touched. The damage in Charles county is estimated at $100,- 000. A Warehouse Falls. Hickory Press: The warehouse 0 Messrs. Hall Bros. in the rear of the store now occupied by Messrs. Flaum Bros. gave way from the pressure of its contents and was crushed off its pillars to the ground last Wednesday night, making considerable noise. There was a large quantity of goods in the warehouse, among other things about three car loads ef salt and dried fruit and a large quanti— ty ef store hardware, &c., to which but little damage was done. After the Soiree. Dusenberry—“Charming woman, old boy! I congratulate you.” Judge (languidly)—“Thanks.” Dusenberry—“Such grace! Such wit!” Judge (as before) —“ Y-a-a-s.” Dusenberry—‘‘Such conversational powers! I could listen to her for heurs.” . Judge (gloomily)—“I often do.” — Call. . Farmer Boys Look Here. Upto this time there have been about 120,000 pounds of sumac ship- ped from this place. The leaves are stripped from the bushes and dried and bring from 60to 65 cents a ound. One unusual thing is that the bushes are not injured by the stripping but grow. more luxuriantly the next year. There are quantities of it and the money it brings is that mach extra. Over $700 have been id out here for it and put into cir- courts find a{ P® culation. — Roanoke News, Earthquake in the N. C. Mountains. {Lenoir Topic.] We learn from a reliable source of a véry remarkable eccurrence which took place near Blowing Rock and on the Grandfather mountain, on Thursday even- ing of week before last. About sundown, Mra. Reid, who lives on Capt. Faucett’s farm, about 2} miles from Blowing Rock, was'sitting in the house and was surpris- ed to hear avery loud clap of thunder, although the sky was perfectly clear, and immediately the house began to shake, dishes to rattle and a noise was heard as though a “six horse team was being driv- en rapidly through the house.” It lasted but a few moments, but during the time of it there was a perceptible and violent rocking. Mrs. Reid saysshe was ‘“slock- B. Clarke reports very much the same state of affaira at his house. It is report- ed also to have been heard aud felt in Boone. A man named Pat Coffey, who lives at the feot of the Grandfather, and several other people, were on top of the Grand- father at the time, were very much fright- ened. Coffey was sitting on the large hanging rock, on the Watauga side of the view, which has such precipitous sides and which is so famous for the beauty of the view to be obtained from it. He says it shook and quivered and trembled so that he scrambled from it in such haste and in sucha fright as to appear more dead than alive. He and his party at once descended the mountain in a state of great alarm. Mr. Joseph B. Clarke, who has taken some pains to investigate the strange af- fair, says that as far as lhe can discover, the shock or whatever it was, came in a ‘‘wave” that was deflected near his house and went down St. John’s River. Does any one else in any other section remem— ber to have noticed alike phenomenon. ee N. Y. Times, Rep. Of the loyalty of the South to the Union Mr. Warner speaks at length. He finds that sentiment a very positive ene and a very growing one. Louisiana ‘was never in its whole history so consciously loyal as it is to-day.” The feeling is not in any sense a political movement for unworthy purposes, he says, but *‘a genuine devel- opment of attachment to the Union.” He puts the situation strongly by an anecdote or two: “When a woman, who enlisted by the consent of Jeff Davis, whose nane ap- peared fer four years upon the rolls, aud who endured all the perils and hardships of the conflict as a field nurse, speaks of ‘President? Davia what does it mean? It is only asentiment. This heroine of the war on the wrong side had in the Expo- sition atent where the veterans of the Confederacy recorded their names. On one side, at the back of the tent, wasa table piled with touching relics of the war, and above it a portrait of Robert E. Lee, wreathed with immortelles. It was surely a harmless shrine. Ou the other side was also a table, piled with frait and cereals—not relics, but signs of prosperi- ty and peace—and above it a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant. Here was the senti- ment, cherished with an aching heart, maybe, and here was the fact of the Union and the future.” ~ Mr. Warner was in New Orleans on Decoration Day and visited the cemetery while the observances were taking place around the soldiers’ monument: “J stood beside a lady whose name, if I mentioned it, would be recognized as representative ofa family which was as conspicuous, and did as much, and lost as much, asavy other in the war--a fami- ly that would be popularly supposed to cherish unrelenting feelings. As the veterans, some of them on crutchers, many of them with empty sleeves, group- ed themselves about the monument we Mremarked upon the sight asa touching one, and I said, ‘I see you have no ad- dress on Decoration Day; at the North we still keep up the custom.’ ‘No,’ she replied, ‘we have given itup. So many imprudent things were said that we thought best to discontinue the address.’ And then, after a pause, she added, thoughtfully, ‘Each side did the best it could; it is all over and done with, and let’s have an end of it.’ In the mouth of the lady who uttered it the remark was very significant, but it expresses, Tam firm] convinced, the feeling of the South.” ——~—--—_—_— Showing What Determination Can Do. The forty days allowed by President Cleveland to the cattlemen who had been illegally oecupying land in Indian Terri- tory have expired and it speaks volumes for the courage of the President that it inspired. those cattlemen with so much respect that they have moved right out withont-calling evthe army to expedite their moving.—Omaka Herald. rr SO There are always pew things to be learned. Saturday the workmen at the Centennial graded school wished to tear ‘away an old brick outbuilding, former a sort of pantry for the old ‘‘mansion,” but their plans were thwarted by an angry colony of bumble-bees, which ‘‘held he fort” and resented all attempts at dis- ed” and could scarcely stand.

The workmen were in des- pair and the contractors were iu the same fix. Finally Mr. Len. Royster bethought him to ask advice on the subject. He was told to place an open mouth jug half full of water near the bees’ headquarters and to stir up the bees, who, flying out, would see the open mouth of the jug and (like a geod many people) at once experiment to see what the jug contained. This they do by crawling into the mouth of the jug, and so perish miserably in the water. Mr. Royster tried the scheme yesterday morning and to his great joy it worked like rcharm. In half av hour he had every bee in the jug and then, and not until then, could the house be demolish- ec. —Neais -Observer. —————-($-—_———_ A German writes to an English paper that celery is a specific for rheu- matism. In order to be effectual, however, it must be cooked. His mathod is to make a soup of the stalks and roots, raw, which prevents its therapeutic qualities being known. Another me- thod of using it is to have the celery cut into bits, boiled ia water until soft, and the water drank by the pa- tieut. It can be served warm, with toasted bread. This, it is said, will subdue the worst cases of rheumatism. AFTER MANY YEABS.

But how does North Carolina ap- ve methods more ruinous to indus- bea trade than the introduction of Chinese labor? Just this way: by es- tablishing at the expense of the tax payer a State prison where convicted Selons are inaintained with the people's money and enyaged in the manufucture of articles forming the most common, mecessary «and important features of trade, and by engaying them in the per- formance of the labor of such public works as rightfully belong to the Nnieat Sree laborers of the State. Free labor cannot compete with convict labor, and any attempt to do go would prove suicidal. That is clear If this is true the place will be rebuilt on the most extensive and 'elaborate scale; it will be the pride of ithe State and the assembling place for ‘the society people of not only our own 'State, but the cream of the South will throng there to enjoy the luxuries of a health and pleasure resort equal in modern appointments to any in all this broad land. Indeed, this is gratifying. Yes, its encouraging. The moun- tains have been full of people this summer, and it has been noticed that they seem to prefer the country places. Some changes are needed, small hotels, say of fifty or sixty rooms, should be built at frequent intervals all along the road in this section.

The Wilmington Star, speak- ing of Mosby, says: He has got as far as San Francisco on his return from China. He sass he was offered the command of the Chinese Ar- mies. The Examiner interviewed him and this occurred: “Do you think the Chinese would make good soldiers? “I do; yes. They are easily disciplined, and will fight. When they bave.confi- dence in their commander they will go wherever he tells them. The Chinese Government wanted me to select 300 ex- Confederate soldiers as my officers.

DisorDERLY Conpvct. —On last Sun- day night, not long after the congre- gations of the several denominations had been dismissed from evening ser- vice, there was lond talking, hollowing and firing of pistols on several streets. Salisbury has a small police force, and it is not expected that they can patroll the whole town, except at long inter- vals, and it therefore becomes the dut of every good citizen to report such disorderly and dangerous conduct to the authorities. It is the only means for safety.

The participants in these secret meetings, in the days that tried men’s souls, should arrange to keep this thing intact, and preserve it in some way asa reminder that they were Tue Mar Rosser, Gro. Eaae, Es- capEs.—Post Master Boyden gives this account of it: The inspectors had caught Eagle, as stated last week, and were en route to Salisbury with him, when an accident to a freight train, near Chattanooga, Tenn., caused a de- lay of three hours. Both of the In- spectors fell asleep—it was night—and Kagle slipped out into the darkness and disappeared. Mr. Boyden has again gotten on his track and telegraphed authorities at Washington to send a man at once. It seems that the Post- master has been a most efficient detect- ive in this instance, as Eagle would never have been caught but for him. HyMENEAL.— Quite a pleasant little party gathered at the residence of J.J. Stewart, Esq., last evening, to witness the marriage of his lovely daughter, Miss Beulah Stewart, to Mr. J. P.

RLUTTZ ry 00. 8 | MANUFACTURING PHARMACISTS’ FOR THE WHOLESALE TRADE. Mr. Barker: tell me what you do with those boxes piled up there? ‘We pack all the standard drugs, oils, extracts and essences in those boxes for our wholesale trade. But do you doa wholesale busi- ness ? O, yes, it is not generally known here in Salisbury, but wedo a large wholesale business, and there is no reason why we should not, for we can duplicate prices for any of the goods named, and can save the merchant freight. Do you mauufacture anything here of your own get up? es, we make acough and worm syrup, that is splendid, and has proven highly satisfactory where used, and we make a quick cure that is far superior to the average quick cures on the market. We also make an essence of ginger that is very popular. Is that all? O no, those are only the small things. We are kept busy in the manu- facture of Kluttz’s Chill Cure, and we are still turning it out by the hun- dreds of dozens. In fact, it has become a standard remedy, and notwithstand- ing the fact that it has not been ad- vertised in several years, orders are coming in every day. The business is growing so that we are now preparing to gointo its manufacture on a more extensive scale; and there is Mor- gan’s Cattle Powders, we manufacture this famous cattle powder from our own formula, and the sales are ten times greater than for any other powder on the market. It is really effective as an alterative medi- cide for horses and cattle. Now Mr. Barker, tell me about this new Tobacco Linimeat; I see you have avery attractive sign on the side of your store with a good picture of the weed as it appears in the field. Its a pretty sign, everybody likes it, but the liniment is the best thing for sprains, bruises, burns and _ rheumatic complaints, in man and beast, that you ever saw. It is wonderful how the testimonials come in. No, no, we can’t save the testimonials, don’t need them in. the first place, and it would ue a book to print them in. resume this manufacturing and molest: trade must bring you much other general business. Yes, we are obliged to carry a heavy stock of general drugs; for instance, we have now in the house between sixteen and seventeen hundred ounces of quinine. Just then Mr. Barker was called away to fill a prescription, and the re- porter got out of the packing room without breaking any bottles. Appointments. Rev. Joun W.

Dear Watchman: I ask throught your paper the pray- ers of all who feel interested in the town of Salisbury, that Almighty God would pour out his Holy Spint, that there may be a great revival and turn- ing to the Lord of that portion who are living in open sin and drunkenness; for it makes one’s heart bleed to see, as it were, the blessed Jesus holding the crown of life right down upon their heads. Nothing but the agonizing, faithful prayer is needed to. bring it to pass. “The prayers of a righteous man availeth much,” and much more the whole Church of God. From yours truly, A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE. Mrs. Chapin’s Lectures, Dear Readers of the Watchman: I attended the State Convention of the W.C. T.U.at High Point on the lith. When I went into the Convention Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin, of Charleston, S. C., was talking to the children, and QO, how beautifully she was speaking te them. She plead with them as a teuder and loving mother would plead with her children to shun the many snares which the enemy of all good has set for the unwary feet of the young and to choose the right way. Her narration of inci- depts in her ewn experieuce was deeply interesting and very affecting so that tears filled many eyes as she told of those whom she liad helped to save from the drink habit. She spoke at Winston that night te alarge audience and on next day we had the privilege of hearing ber at this place, aud nearly every oue in the audience signed the pledge after she waa through speaking. She spoke twice in Greensboro yesterday and again there tonight. I hope the good people of Sal- isbury will have the pleasure of hearing this gifted danghter of our own loved South, who is giving her energies to the nd cause of temperance, having enter- ed the field froma conviction of duty. To hear her ence isto be convinced of this fact. LorENA REYNOLDS, Mr. Hardy Hicks, of Morgan‘on was ne. here this. week. Now Garden, Sept. 14, "85, a TK. BRUNER, EDITOR. Phoenix Closed. Down. The Phoenix mine, which has been runing successfully for several years, has closed down temporarily for want of water. They will resume in a short time. They are working the Meares chlorination process successfully there. Altan Mine, Work at the Altan mine, (formerly the “Belk”) in Union county, will be resumed at an early day. Preparations are now being made tothat end. There is also a prospect for other mines being opened this winter. Union Count has some valuable deposits, and with good producing records. The “Crump” is among them. Rocky River Mine Sold. On last Monday, in the town of poner ae aoe River mine was sold at public sale to justify judgment of courte in the Hasasa? n j : Hotes and others against J. J. Newman, Judge Hughes and others. The, pro- perty was sold in three iracts, respect- ively for two, five and eight thousand dollars—$15,000 for the whole pro- perty—including two engines and a five stamp mill. R. J. Holmes, Esq., of this town was the purchaser. epee North State Mine. At the North State Gold and Copper Mine, in Guilford County, considera- ble activity is manifested. The main shaft has reached a depth of 320 feet, and an old shaft sunk before the war, is being reopened. They are hoisting a complex sulphide ore—iron and cop- per—which carries a fair percentage of of fue They have atwenty stamp mill. Besides this shaft ming, they are washing the surface of a gulch near the main shaft. It is said to be amply rich to pay for hydraulicing, but there is not fall enough to enable the pres- ent plant to accomplish the work ina very satisfactory manner. Important Enterprise. Mr. John Jacobs, the representative of the Yadkin Mining and Milling Company, has determined to treat, at the works of the Company near Salis- bury, the sulphide ores of this section. He proposes to use the Davis chlorina- tion process, which has been doing satisfactory work in the treatment of the “Reimer” ores, and he proposed to buy ores of standard grade for this purpose. The ores will be sampled and assayed by Prof Geo. B. Hanna, of the Charlotte mint, or any other thorough- ly reliable assayer, that the vender of ores may select. This is designed to satisfy the miner. A reliable assayer will be connected with the company. Mr. Jacobs has no process for sale or to advertise, but simply means to en- gage ina legitimate business, buying sulphuret ores, delivered at the works, paying cash for them, and at a rate determined by the assayed value of the ore. He does not propose to buy the lower grades of ore, but is anxious to have aconstant supply of uniform sulphuret ores. Those interested should communicate with him at once. His address is Salisbury. Ea aan RR Improve Your Opportunities. Just now there are conditions which, if improved and nourished, would tend to the rapid upbuilding of all the in- terests of the town.. Some interests are flourishing, and some individuals are reaping the rewards of their indus- try but the fact remains plainly desern- able to the careful observer, that there is no united or concerted action among the citizens of the town, looking to the general good. In truth there i3 a want of public spiritedness among the citi- zens—that ena of public spint which takes hold of matters from which no pecuniary gain is expected, but which will have a tendency to help all alike. There is a great differencs between an energetic business man and a public spir- ited man. In the one instance he has every personal motive as an incentive ; that spirit which looks out for number one regardless of the existence and comfort of the rest of mankind. To ut in an old fashioned way: to get in Hone and stay in front with a view of allowing the devil to take the hind- most. That is your business man, look- ing out solely tor himself and his own. But on the other hand, the public spir- ited man in his dealings puts part of his gainings into public works; strives to improve the whole tone of the com- munity—-norally and financially—and exemplifies that trite ‘old motto: “live and let live.” Public spirit is_ that which directs money into legitimate schemes for the improvement, develo ment, comfort and convenience of all the people in their various condi- tions; is unselfish in trying to make all prosperous alike. Mors of this spirit is needed in Salis- bury. It must come, or the people need not look for any great improve- ment over the present status of trade and prosterye If the people will link together, husband their resources and all pull in the same direction, then there will be a revival of business and industry that will astonish even our own people. Idle mechanics, carpen- ters, masons and smiths will have plen- ty to do; idle workshops will resound with the hum of machinery, and pros- perity will brood over the town. There are railroads, bridges and mac- industries and trades to encourage and foster; there is great need of public works for the town, and there is great need to utilize all home institutions. Send out for nothing that can be had at home. Try it for one year and if it is not a success, return to the present methods and prove this theory for um- provement a alacy. “MINING DEPARTMENT.’ | adam roads to be built; there are}! ; Waal in jon Lett a ee [From Our Regular Correspondent.} . WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 1885. The two- handsome bay horses behind which the President rides were at the de- pot a little before eight o’clock on Monday last, attached to the President’s carriage. There was nothing stuck up or distingue in the appearance of the brutes, aud I be- lieve they would be just as happy if they were the property of a butcher. The sable coachman who has driven Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, got down, pulled out his gold watch, and looked like a man withan appointment. It was five minutes after eight when the New York train glided almost noislessly into the station. The railroad employes were evidently expecting somebody and turned theireyes tua sleeping car which was clesed. It was not long, however, until astout gentleman witha bronzed face descended the steps fellowed by a smaller and more slightly-built gentleman. They were the President of the United States and his private Secretary Col. Lamont. The President bowed pleasantly to the salutations of the few who witnessed his arrival and entering the carriage with Col. Lamont was driven to the White House where breakfast awaited them. The President’s vacation bas been less than thirty days the time allowed to ether employes, and he appears to be much improved in health. He bas not been indisposed a single day and the re- cent reports relative te his illness were wholly without foundation. He has had his holiday in his own fashion and comes back to his duties improved and invigor- ated. He has not spent the time in the hardest of all work, society service ata fashionable resort, but has taken the re- laxation he needed. These weeks in the open air, the fishing, guuning, boating, the setting aside of all restraint and an- xiety, the robust exercise--every ingredi ent in the situation has been auspicious. The President is greatly improved by his outing, every hour has brought him strength and rejuvenation; he returns to his work in every respect better qualified to prozecute it with vigor and success. Since the President’s return he has been in consultation with Secretaries Manning, Whitney, Bayard and Lamar. It has been definately settled that there isa necessity for a thorough investigation of the Coast Survey Bureau. Some additional facts have recently been brought out. About ayear ago when the new Coast Survey Steamer ‘Carlisle Patterson” was launche ed Prof. Hilgard and a party of ladies went to New York to celebrate the event. This of course was useleas, but it would have been more innocent if they had paid for their fun. Several hundred dollars were expended on this tiip eut of the contingent fund fora luncheon at which much wine was spilled. When the vouch- er was putin atthe Bureau the wine lunch was put inthe bill of items and called by its proper name. This, Mr. Parsons informed Prof. Hilgard, would never do, as the account would uot be allowed at the Treasury Department. He suggested that a blank voucher be sign- ed by some contractor for the work of the Bureau and accordingly Julius Bien & Co., engravers, of New York, were used for this purpose. sign the blank voucher, the amount of which was $220, and then the body of the instrument was filled in by Mr. Per- sons as drawing plans for the United Patterson.” Under this change the voucher was put through, and nothing more was thought States Steamer ‘Carlisle about it. First Auditor Chenowith and Second Comptroller Maynard were ac- quainted with this circumstance in the course of the iuvestigatiou and they took pains to lay it before Secretary Manning. The Secretary talked with the President on this subject Monday of this week, when the conclusion was reached that the present Coast Survey officials had better be remoyed. It is probable that within ten days the Secretary of the Treasury will rid himself of the present crowd now in the Coast Survey Bureau and fill their places with sore competent and less corruptible persous. A Novel Exhibition. The St. Lonis Post-Dispatch compli- ments Cole’s Circus very highly iu the following manner: ‘The performance was, without question, one of the very best ever given here, aud demonstrated most perfectly that it is not necessary for enterprising managers to keep iu the sume stereotyped track in presenting at- tractions. Cole’s Circus is full of new and novel features, pot only demonstrating remarkable ingenuity in the selection of the features, but also involving remark - able skill in preseuting them. The double ring and elevated stage are occupied con- stantly and give at the same tiwo varied and non-eouflicting performances, which can be appreciated and enjoyed at the same tine. The Bedouin Arabs, the Mexican exhibition, the equestrian pig and moukey, the artistic aud grotesque roller skaters, the marvelous “human fly,” M’lle Aimee, the athletes, bare-back rid- ing, the clowns aud the riding of Leon, the wonder, and the daring feats of George Conklin, the lion tamer, are but a tithe of the multitude of features offered at this great show. The double menzgerie, the museum and wax-work collection, the two headed cow, the herd of performing ele- phants, headed by the monster Samson, and the equine wonder, Blondin, the tight rope walking horse, may also be mentivn- ed as wonderfully iuteresting features. In a word, Coles circus is, beyoad a doubt, one of the best ever exhibited iu St. Louis, and so far as keeping up with the times is concerned, it may be said to be leading other shows in the matter of novelty and attractiveness. Afternoon and eyening verfurmances will be given daily.” The people of Salisbary aud surroundidg coun try will Lave an opportunity of seeing this colossal show in its entirety, on Mou day Sept. 28th. ee EO CONVULSION, FITS, ect., are frequent- ly caused by an army of worms gnawing, gnawing, gnawing night and day, eating the vitals away.

I have been affliited with Scrofula from my infancy, and in consequence haye al- ways been a frai! and delicate creature, I might truthfully say that I was raised e on mercury and potash. These ies for the time being would dry up the fearful ulcers, with which I suffered, bat they would return with greater vi0— lence. I was the merest shado® as to form and person. My digestion was ail deranged asd my existence was most wretched. Everything that could be done, but Lo anent benefit was derived. At last a t tumor came on my neck below the eft ear. It increased in size until my head was forced tothe right shoulder and in thie ungainly and uncomfortable position, I was compelled to carry my head. The decters decided that it wasthcre to stay aé long as life continued, and for many it did remain. In March, 1884, at the saggestion of Colonel John Traylor I was induced to try Swift's Specific. My system responded to thie medicine prompt ly, and I began to improve from almost the rst bottle. That fearful tumor has all disappeared, and every appearance of the disease has left my person except a small bard lump onthe right side of my neck. aad that fs disappearing rapidty. From a fragile little girl I have developed into as healthy and robust young lady as there is le the neighborhood. Swift's Specific is the only remedy that has ever given me eny permanent relief, and Iam in better bealth and weigh more than I ever did in my life before. My old friends scarcely ize me since this wonderful change has been wrought in my appearance. My gtetitude is unbounded tor what this medicine has done for me. MISS TOMMIE EMBRY.

A correspondent of the New Orleans Times-Democrat- has supplied the fol- lowing partieulars: London, England, is the greatest city the world ever saw. It is the heart of the British Empire and the world. It covers within the fifteen miles radius of Charing Cross (Strand) 700 square miles. It numbers within these boun- daries of 5,000,000 of inhabitants. It comprises over 200,000 foreigners from every quarter of the globe. It contains more Roman Catholics than Rome it- self; more Jews than the whole of Pal- estine; more Irish than Dublin; more Scotchmen than Edinburg; more Welsh- men than Cardiff; more country-raised persons than the counties of Devon, Warwickshire and Durham combined. It hasa birth in every five minutes, has a death in every eight minutes, has seven accidents every day in its 8,000 miles of streets, has on an average forty miles of streets, opened and 15,000 new houses built in itevery year. In 18% there were added 22,110 new houses to the vast aggregate of dwellings which is called the metropolis, thus forming 868 new streets and one square, cover- ing a distance of sixty miles aud eighty four yards. It is difficult to form any mental picture from these figures. Brighton (the queen of watering places) in 1881 had 20,379 inhabited houses, so that London in 1883 added to itself a towu bigger than Brighton. It would require two Cambridges, or Oxfords, or Bath’s, to represent the ad- ditions madein London ina fingle year. London has 46,000 annually edded (by birth) to its population; has over 1,000 ships and 10,000 sailors in its port every day; has as many beer shops and gin palaces as would, if placed side by side, stretch from Char- ing Cross to Portsmouth, as distance of seventy-eight miles; has 38,000 drunk- ards annually broughy before its mag- istrates; has seventy miles of open shops every Sunday; has an influence with all parts of the world, represen- ted by a yearly delivery in its postal districts of 298,000,000 of letters. ‘Eight hundred and fifty trains pass ,|Clapham Junction every day, and the Transportation (underground) Rai’- road runs 1,211 trains everyday. The London Omnibus Company have over 700 busses, which carry 56,000,000 passengers annually. It is more dan- gerous to walk the streets of London than to travel by railroad or cross the Atlantic from New Orleans to Liver- pool. Last year 130 persons were killed and 2,600 injured by vehicles in the streets. There are in London 15,000 police, 15,000 cabmen, and 15,000 per- sons connected with the postoffice. The cost of gas for lighting London annu- allf is $8,000,000. London has 400 daily and weekly sewspappers. Last year there were nearly 600 fires. The ancient and famous city of London was first founded by Brute, the Trojan, in the year of the world 2832, so that since the first building it is 3006 years.

The Swannanoa is kept up to astandard which reflects credit both upon Asheville and its manage- racnt.— Asheville Citizen. But it reflects discredit on the Asheville and other North Carolina meat markets. The people do not catch the idea that there is money in stall and pasture fed beef and mut- ton, for the markets. There is money in it. Hussey does.nt Pine for Sympathy, The fact that the editor of the Patriot holds a Government position in Washing- ton seens to give the editors of the North State unnecessary vexation. This should not be. Editors Boyd and Keogh are both ex-Federal officeholders, and both have waxed fat and rich on party spoils. They have had a long pall at the public teat, and whether it was a Democrat or Republican teat, nobody ever heard of “@urdled” milk. They are now well grown infants and their untimely taking off was the ungrateful work of a Republi: can Senate.

The answer comes from former sufferers who for years have escaped the visitations of the periodic scourge, through the protect- ing influenee of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. When the necessity for using preventive measures arises, use this means of preven- tion at once. It regulates the liver, facili- tates digestion, and liberates impurities from the system, when such exist, ste pro- moting healthful action of the bowels and kidneys. Actearly. In all regions where miasmatic vapors breed disease, it is abso- lutely necessary to be provided with asafe- guard, and this is true, though a sojourn in such localities is destined to be brief. No onecan afford to breathe malaria for a short time. The Bitters is a sovereign specific for rheumatism, debility and nervousness. Keep it on hand. Sale of Land.

Cancer Cured, About three years ago there appeared on my right breast several hard lumps which gave me almost intolerable pain. They continued to grow, and finally de- veloped into what the doctors called can- cer of the breast. In a short time I found my strength gone and my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agrecing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by this time was eat- ing out my very life, and for five months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift's Specfic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won- derful medicine has brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, Iam perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person altogether. I can not feel too grateful for this wonderful re- covery, for I am satisfied if it had not been for Swift’s Specific I would have been in my grave to-day. I most cheerfully rec- ommend it to all those who are suffering with this fearful disease. Mrs. JANE CLEMONS, Atlanta, Ga., April 16, 1885.

It is stated that the Spanish com- mander at Manilla telegraphs that when it was found that the German flag had heen hoisted at Yap, the Governor of the Curolines, Senior visited the commander of the German gunboat and accused him of breach of a international law. The 'German commander replied that he ‘had simply obeyed orders; a hot ar- ‘gument ensued, ending in a scufile, | when the German commander retired ‘to hisship. The Governor then board- ed the Spanish man of war, San Quentin, and requested the Captain tu fire inte the ship; the Captain re- fused, the Governor of the Phillippi- nes having ordered him to avoid a conflict. Babrilles ordered the crew to tire, whereupon the Captain drew his revolver, and threatened to shoot the first man who obeyed or repeated the order, Babrilles again ordered the men to fire when the Captain shot Babrilles in the shoulder, Babrilles was afterwards taken as prisoner to Manilla, where his trial is proceeding. The government formally deny that there was an altercation on shore, but are silent in regard to what occurred on the ship.

The attitude of some of the papers of this Sfate in reference to general imnni- yration, and tu the Scate Department of Immigration, is surprising to say the least.

This convict labor should not be brought into competition 'with freeskilledlabor. It is right it should 'be made to build railroads and public ' roads, and dig ditches and canals, but we ‘do not. think it is right that honorable ‘mechanics, and firms employing such, i should be made to compete with convicts, ‘whose labor returns them no_ profit and whose manufactures can, therefore, be sold cheaper than the work of free men who must support themselves and their ‘ families.” Our cotemporary evidently overlooks the fact that these convicts who make the shoes and other articles of manufic- ‘ture are of the class who cannot be taken outside the walls of the penitentiary, and ! therefore cannot be worked on -public works of any character.

Surely no inform- ed person will hold the Department of Immigration responsible for such fail- ures!

By all means keep it up! Our peo- ple need to come in contact with new men and new ideas; tu learn to econo- mize labor; to learn a proper apprecie- tron of improved methods, and to have broad, cosmopolitan views introduced. This is best done by practical example: by new mon, trained in special work. Some of the South Carolina press have boasted that they wanted no im- migration in that State—it is bearly possible that th» recent expression of | views of like character in this State. | are memories of that eld fogyism—and | yet no State is more diiigent in search | of proper immigration than South Car-| oling, Thor State Board of Agricul- ture sent a corps of voung, observant men. to li. eigh last fall to study this State's resources as shown in the State!

At the first Cabinet meeting since the President’s return there were but four members. The Secretary of State, Secre- tary of War, and the Attorney General were absent. Mr. Bayard has taken a ten days leave and it is said he will be a looker on at the Democratic gubernato- rial nominating convention in New York. ‘The Cabinet session lasted until nearly three o'clock. There is no truth in the recent gossip relative tothe resignation of the secre- tary of the Treasury. The Quid Nunes had it that Mr. Manning would soon go out of the Cabinet and that Mr. Vilas would take his place, and that Mr. Steven- son would be made Post Master General. This story was probably based upon the frequent declaration upon the part of Mr. Manning that he was heartily tired of the duties of the place. He hates ex- cessive labor, and if he had his own way he would never come to Washington at all. But when he consented to come here it was with the determination that he would stay as long asthe President wished him to. He has recently leased a house for three years, and this does not indicate any intention to leave Washing- ton during Mr. Cleveland’s Presidential term. . Mr. McConville sixth Auditor at the Treasury a staunch Democrat and a bona fide Civil Service reformer is much an- noyed at having his efforts thwarted by the bad and bungling Civil Service Com- mission. Jie has made certain changes in the weeding out of incompetent men and has made room for ten new appoint- ments. Asa matter of course he wanted Democrats who would be in hearty sym- pathy with his efforts to reorganize his office and reduce it to a practical business like basis. He found that he would not be able to make any independent appoint- ments except through the Civil Service Commission. He made a requisition upon the commission for a list of candidates who had passed its examinations. The commission sent him the names of forty candidates, from whom he Will be com- pelled to make his selections. He found that there was not a single Democrat in the lot. He will be obliged to appoint Republicans or make no ap- pointments. There isa very general compaint against the commission, based upon the ground that they unduly favor Republican ap- plicants. As between a Republican and Democrat they will always pass a Re- publican, if he is anywhere near the mark, A Democrat has to pass what is ealled a premium examination, ‘and even then he is not put in as good a_ position asif he wasa Republican. This Board has, ina number of localities, examined enough Republican applicants to fill va- cancies in the various bureaus of the Goy- ernment for some tine tocome. It isone most unfair and partisan of machines. The chief of one of the largest Govern- ment offices who has charge of nearly three hundred clerks was talking about appointments, discharges and Civil Ser- vice examinations. He remarked that a radical and phenomenal change had taken place among the employes of his bureau since the Fourth of M&rch, that since then nearly all of his three hundred clerks have been laboring to prove that they are Domocrats of the purest aud most ancient political pedigree and practice. When called upon to explain how they were appointed and had held oftice under the Republican spoils and machine sys- ten, they explained that their cases were exceptions to the general rule. They all have a plausible way of showing that they and their forefathers and mothers-in-law are Democrats. He says also that he finds it difficult to discharge a clerk for bad habits, incapacity, or for any of the many causes that would render him unfit for the important work of his office. Just as | soon as he gets ready to remove a clerk | and make room for a Democrat along comes a Democratic Congressman and in- sists that the clerk shall be retained. The Congressman will, at the same time, urge the appointment of his particular friend, but when an attempt is made to remove some one to make a vacancy a_ protest is entered at once. This is the way it goes every day, the official says, and he adds that in three cases when he ordered the removal of worthless Republicans, he had to recant owing to the pressure of Demo- cratic Congressmen who insist on the re- tention of Republicans. > <S>- Soa A Prophet’s Voice, One of the great intellectual forces of the nineteenth century was Thomas Car- lyle. He said some things doubtless that are absurd, but he said a good many that have been potential in shaping the thought of two generations and will con- tinue to influence the reflecting men of unborn generations. Harper’s Monthly has published two letters by Carlyle to Hon. Beverly Tucker, of Virginia, They were written in 1846 and 1850. They relate toslayery and have never before been published. His views of course will shock ‘all Yankeedoodledom, But he gave out thoughts that will make men think even at thislate day. For instance he said: “Alas, the question isas deep as the foundation of society, and will not be set- tled this Jong while! For the cry about Emancipation, so well pleased with itself on Humanitarian Platforms, but the key- note of that huge anarchic roar now ris- ing from all nations, for good reasons, too—which tends to abolish ali mastership and obedience whatsoever in this world, and to render Society im ible among th sons of Adam,” —_ ou Are there not many signs on earth that these words were in the main true? An- other greater writer of half Scotch blood, Lord Macaulay, wrote ene or more let- way. it is Oot hing to. know history. Southern statesmen before the war knew history arid were noth ashamed to live often among their books.—Wil. Star. Net College Bred. Wilmington Star. It is quite notieeable that-so many of the most disguished living American authors should not have been educa- ted in the colleges of the country. Among living novelists there are Bret Harte, Ed- ward Eggleston, Howells, James, Lathrop, Cable, Crawford, Fawcett, Joel Chandles Harris and possibly Miss Murfree. These are the most famous. Harte, Howells and Fawcett are also poets of decided cleverness. Then there are also poets who neyer went tocollege, namely, Whit- tier, Whitman, Aldrich, Gilder (editor of The Century). Platt, Carleton and Stod- dard. Among the dead, we believe that William Cullen Bryant had no college training, and perhaps others of the more distinguished bards. Whipple, the essay- ist, Trowbridge, James T. Field, James Parton, Bayard Taylor, Stockton, Mark Twain, Burroughs and other famous American writes’ were not college bred. 2 re THE BIG ELEPHANT HOLIDAY. For many years elephants have played a prominent part in the Circus world. There have been big elephants, but W. W. Cole still maintains his position. at the front as the owner of Samson, the largest Asiatic elephant known to be in captivity, which, with the herd accompanying him of the most intelligent specimens of their kind ever imported, form a salient feature of W. W. Cole’s New Collossal Shows, which besides contains almost everything that curious humanity cares to see. The circus is so large that it takes several rings and an elevated stage to give all the per- formers an opportunity to display their accomplishments, and the only fault to be found with this truly enormous show is that it is too big. Sixty distinct acts are given, combining the Circus, the Menag- eries, Theatre, Ruiter Skating Rink, Gal- lery of Wax Statuary, Mexico and the Mexicans, the Living Two-Headed Cow, and other distinctive features, all in one pleasing and harmonious exhibition. Per- formances are given in the Menagerie tents as well as in the Circus rings. The troupe of real Bedouin Arab are a pronunced novelty, as are also the Human Fly, or erial ceiling walker, the erial Bieyelists, the artistic and grotesque Roller Skaters, the Roman Gladiators, wrestlers, leapers, gymnasts and rival bareback riders, all ot whom enter into spirited competition for supremacy. All kinds of trained ani- mals, among them that rarest of animals, the white hippopotamus, a two-horned rhinoseros, and the wonderful horse Blon- din, in his tight-rope act. <A side-split- ting act is that performed by the educated racing pig, ridden by a monkey jockey who “makes nice of no vile hold’ when there is a possibility of the Darwinian Dude’s losing his balance or being ‘‘un- horsed.”” Take the show all in all, it pre- sents such an array of novelties as to just- ly entitled it to the title of a “Big Ele- phant Holiday.” The day of exhibition in Salisbury is set for Monday, Sept. 28th, when every feature above named and ma- ny others will be presented, furnishing a feast of amusements outranking any three shows that have heretofore existed.

Figures don’t lie, and when they sus- tain an argument, it’s good evidence. A man in Franklin township rented tobacev lands for which he paid.a rent- al of fifty-five dollars an acre. He planted his erop and has just made set- tlement, paying for the land and mak- ing one hundred and ten dollars an acre clear money. Round numbersare used beeause the fractions would not ch the ratio? Working men can find no better place to “hang up” than right here in Rewan. The lands are good and are easily made productive, giving to the honest, faithful tiller of the ground many returns for the time and labor bestowed. With such facts and figures looking our people in the face, they must take courage, and with renewed vigor and greater deter- mination lay hold of the plow handles and never let go until this land of ours is changed into a very garden, glorious in its array of blooms, and sweet in the fragrance of ripe fruits. It is within easy range of possibility. Ingrowing Toe Nails. _ Ayoung man read the remedy for Ingrowing toe-nails in last paper. He applied the per-chloride of iron, and on Saturday came limping in; after depositing his walking cane by a chair and resting his slippered foot in anoth- er in front of him, he remarked: “l’ve come to see you.” “Ah! how are you, old boy—why, what's the matter with your foot ?” “That’s just the question I want you to answer.” “How can I tell—-do you expect an editor to nominate an ailment of the foot through the stocking and slipper? Some people are so unreasonable.’ “Not much. Don’t you.go too fast about the sremonale Where did you get that remedy for ingrowing toe- nails, you printed last week ?”’ “Oh!

ES EE I SP I JAMES BRANDON GIBSON. This well known citizen of Rowan County died at his home, at nine anda half o’clock on last Saturday morning, of heart disease, after a puintul illness of some months; aged eighty-seven years and nine months. Mr. Gibson was the last male member of a bnce prominent and highly respected family in this County. He was, on the maternal side, a worthy descendant of the Brandon family of revolutionary fame, being a grand-son of Col. James Brandon, an active patriot in the great struggle for independence. His mother, Priscilla Bran- don, died in 1874, aged nearly ninety- seven years. She was a woman as re- markable for mental vigor as for her broad liberality and goodness of heart. The subject of this notice inherited and sustained through a long and useful life the excellencies of his honored ancestors. He was a Christian gentleman in the best sense of the term. In religion he was sin- cere and devout; for many yearsa ruling El- der in Thyatira church, and was consistent- ly and steadily devoted to the encourage- ment of every christian effort. As a citi- zen he was ever ready to respond to every duty, and his life was an exemplification of true citizenship. Few men in this age excelled him in the amenities of social life. The happiness of his neighbors was a subject that engaged his unhesitating concern; and his uniform benevolence, mature judgment and fairness often made him the umpire in disputes, anda coun- selor to those in trouble. No per- sonal sacrifice was too great when it could accomplish the relief of affliction or dis- tress ; and his kind offices were performed with such graceful simplicity and evident pleasure as to win the admiration and es- teem as well as the gratitude of all who shared them. He possessed all the elements of true nobleness ; his neighbors loved him, and those connected by nearer pee ie fuse of the difficulty has ‘larly, on account of the fallen bndge, ti ver knew what it was Ught Out. n a ae ahd een it was the custom to keep the horse ae we cues devotion to their ems that de ea val bh od 4 | hitehed and standing in front of the Ex- happiness.

Duna, Supt, of the Rudisil mine in Mecklenburg County, has returned from Boston, where he has been in the interest of that mine. Conrad Hill to Start. Mr. McKee, Superintendent of Conrad Hill mine, Davidson County, has re- ceived orders to fork the water from the mine with a view of resuming work there. =< +e Mr. B. §. Loney, Supt, of the North State Mine, Guilford County, was here last week, negotia- ting with Mr. John Jacobs, of the Yadkin Gold Mining and Milling Com- pany, for the sale of some of the sul- phide ores of the former's mine. Forty-six end a half Pounds of Gold. The output from the reliable Hoover Hill, in Randolph County, amounted to 46 and one half pounds of gold for August. This is equal to about $11,160. This is just now the most successful mine in the State, the output is steady, though they are encountering some very close ground now in_ fhe briols shaft. ‘The general outlook of the property is something better than at this time last year. nen eee The Big Russell Mino. Work is moving steadily along at the Big Russell Mine in Montgomery County They have had surveys made for a tram road from the mouth of the tunnel to the Uwharie river. The sur- veys andestimates are now in Eng- land for the approval of the company. Should the plans be approved they will erect the largest battery in the South. They now have twenty stamps at the old unll site, but cannot use them be- cause there is not sufficient water supply. These stamps will be taken to the river and added to the forty estimated for the new mill house, making the battery sixty strong. gee Government Assaying. The U.S. Bureau of Mints -has is- sued an order forbidding the assaying of ores, in all the mints and assay ofh- ces of the Government. This will prove a considerable inconvenience to the public, especially in North and South Carolina. Here most of the assaying has been done at the mint, and in the most satisfactory manner. The oS is most likely a temporary one, an may be recinded soon. Some reform was needed in a general way, but this 1s too sweeping. This order, of course, does not affect the regular assaying of bullion; this and all the regular work of the oftice goes on as usual. Old mene toResume Work. The Old Emmon’s is the property of the Baltimore Gold and Silver Mining and Smelting Company. It is a stock- ed corporation, having 300,000 shares of $5 each, and located in Davidson Co. The ore isan auriferous chalcopy- rite, with the associated forms of cu- riferous slute common to this State. The writer visited the property just be- fore it closed down last summer. The mine has been developed to a depth of 416 feet, and has four levels, three of which have been worked several hun- dred feet each way. The lower level 410 feet—has been worked 90 feet in the north winz. They havea good plant of machinery, good pumps; two seventy-five horse power boilers furnish necessary steam, and they have two Hawland pans for saving the gold from the burnt sands after the copper has been extracted. ‘The ores are lifted in cars, on atram = road, built on the bed of the incline. The reason assigned fcr stopping last year was to erect Water Jacket furnace, and a plant for reducing the ores and extracting the metal on the property. It is hoped that this is true; for the ore is hardly rich enough to justify shipping. When they start again they should be prepared to work the ore on the spot. k epee Rich Find in Montgomery County. C. C. Wade, Esq., reports the discov- ery of a very rich gold vein near Troy, in Montgomery County. The ore is uartz, in country rock of whitish taleo-slate, and is exceeding rich in free gold. Specimen sent to the WatcH- MAN cabinet shows wonderful results in pan, and would assay up in the hun- dreds. The vein is from two anda half to three and a half feet wide, and has been cut in several places. The prospect has been developed to twenty teet and shows splendid ore, with free gold visible, in the bottom. | *The property lies on Little River, and contains 600 acres of wood land. *Correspondence solicited in regard to this property—BruNFR & McCuBBINS Real Estate Agents, Salisbury, or to C.

Bruner, Eeq., Mining Editor of the Watchman: Dear Sir: Though I know it was unin- tentional, your article “Rocky River Mine Sold” as it appears in the WATCHMAN, of the 17th instant, does me a great injus- tice, and I am sure you will make the proper corrections. _ The property, ““Rocky River Mine” was notsold under judgment, but by a Commis- sioner, under a Consent Decree, not only for the benefit of Holmes et al., but also for my benefit. I owned one of the three con- tiguous tracts sold, by right of purchase money paid, separate from Holmes et al. Hence, I united with them in a consent for the sale of the whole property, as Judge Hughes, to whom I sold the prop- erty, has fuiled during the last two years to comply with the terms of sale. Holmes et al. have been, or will be satisfied by the Commissioner’s sale as made on the 7th jinstant; while I, to secure myself for the balance of over $40,000 yet due me by Hughes have the property as recourse only, the which, according to the decree, will be ‘decided without prejudice, when the Commissioner’s sale is confirmed by the Cabarrus Superior Court, November term.

This monster world’s Fair will pitch its tents in this city Monday Sept. 28th, giv- ing two performances afternoon and even- ing. We are assured by the Press of Virginia that W. W. Cole’s Colossal Show is just what he represents it to be, a first class Circus, and we predict enormous crowds in attendance here. The Norfolk Landmark says: “The great Cole's circus has come and gone, The promised parade was up to the expectations of every one, anda neat- er, cleaner and more elaborate one has never been seen here. The menagarie was large and extensive, coining more other new and novel features than an organization that ever visited Norfolk. The circus was a model and a complete one, full of new features, requiring two rings and a stage between to give a two hour’s and a half show to the vast multi- tudes of people who were in attendance. There were in attendance, at both per- formances at least 10,000 people and all seemed to be of one opinion in pronoun- cing the show the best they have ever seen. The management was excellent; none but gentlemen were in charge, and everybody was treated with the greatest politeness. The Norfolk Virginian says: “Taken altogether the show was the best that ever visited this city, and it is estimated that fully 20,000 people attended the two performances.” —-P- — ——— List oF LETTERS remaining in the Post Office at Salisbury, N.

These remedies for the time being would dry up the fearful ulcers, with which I suffered, but they would return with greater vio~ lence. I was the merest shadow as to form and person. My digestion was ail deranged and my existence was most wretched. Byerything that could be done, but no rmanent bencfit was derived. At last a reat tumor came on my neck below the eft ear. It increased in size until my head was forced tothe right shouider and in this ungainly and uncomfortable position, I was compelled to carry my head. The dectors decided that it was there to stay as long as life continued, and for many years it did remain. In March, 1884, at the suggestion of Colonel John Traylor I was induced to try Swift's Specific. My system responded to the medicine prompt ly, and I beyan to improve from almost the first bottle. That fearful tumor has all disappeared, and every appearance of the disease has left my person except a small bard lump onthe right side of my neck. and that is disappearing rapidiy. Froma fragile little gir] I have developed into as healthy and robust young lady as there is la the neighborhood. Swift's Specific is tae only remedy that has ever given me aay permanent relief, and Iam in better bealth and weigh more than I ever did in my life before. My old friends scarcely reeégnize me since this wonderful change hae been wrouht in my appearance. My gratitude is unbounded for what this medicine has done for me. MISS TOMMIE EMBRY.

Davis bore himself with the furtitude of a brave man in trouble. He was courteous to me and the guard; talking freely on ev- ery question but that relating to the result of the war.” “When we stopped at the Interna- tional Hotel, and were about to get out the wagon, Captain Thompson, of the Fourth Indiana cavalry, drew his revolver to fire at Davis. I saw his movement, struck the weapon with my arm, and the bullet tore my coat and shirt. At the moment Davis seeing ‘Thompson’s purpose, cried out, ‘For God’s sake, Lieutenant, save my life.’ I got the prisoner out of the wagon and junto the hotel with a good deal of alacrity.’ “After that I met Davis at the the Louisvijle Ilotel in 1872, when he recognized me, and approaching said: ‘1 nmst thank you again, Lieu- tenant Isgrigg, for saving my life.’ We had quite a chat about the war then. Betore this I had received a letter of thanks from him, He was my prisoner eight days, together with his wife, daughter and the commis- sary of his guard, These three we tovk into Macon in an old family carriage. Jeff was not sulky as a prisoner, but one could see that the breaking of the Confederacy bore grievously on his thoughts.” Though accustomed to see slander- publications in regard to myself, I have read this with no little surprise, becunse of the total absence of any foundation or pretext on which to build the fiction. your usual courtesy in asking you to publish this seriatim refutation of the several statements of the Story. It is not true, as stated, that I was turned overto the custody of one Lieutenant Isgrigg two and a_ half miles (or any other distance) from Macon. The troops by whom Lf was captured remained my guard to Ma- con, anda detachment of them ac- companied meto Fortress Monroe, in charge of their ewn officers, Equally untrue is it that I rode with the said isgrigg and my secre- tary (or anyone else) in “an old farm ” My private secretary, Bur- wagon, tou N. Harrison, Esq., now a mem- ber of the Bar of N. Y., was captur- ed with me, and rode on herse-back to Macon. I had for several days oc- cupied an ambulance with my wife and children, and rode to Macon in it. There was no such cowardly at- tempt to offer insult to me as would have been shown by hanging over my head the articles of clothing which Isgrigg falsely avers 1 had worn at the time of my capture. Nor did my captors obtain at the time of my capture the hvop skirt, &, which Isgrigg describes, unless they were found among the apparel taken when the trunks of my wife and her female servant were pillaged. On our arrival atthe hotel in Macen a small body of troops in front of the entrance were at open ranks, facing inward. When I got out of the ambulance to enter the hotel they presented arms while I passed through and I received the salute as an ex- pression of the feeling brave men shew to a fallen foe. The story of “Captain Thompson, of the Fourth Indiana cavalary,” at- lempting to shoot me as I entered the Macon hotel, is wholly fictitious, and I leave it to that regiment itself to repel the imputation that one of its officers would have been guilty of so dastardly an assault on a prisoner, Upon that falsehood the narrator hangs another, that I met him at the Louisville Hotel, in 1872, recognized him, and renewed thanks to him for saving my life,” and that I had pre- viously written a jetterof thanks to him, I have not been in the Louis- ville hotel since the war; I do not remember ever to have eeen or heard of this Lieutenant Isgrigg at any time or place, and it is not true that, as he alleges, I was eight days ia his custody, or that I have ever written to him a letter of thanks.

Young women make a big blunder if they do not learn to take care of a home. It isa grievous social and moral wrong when girls are brought up helpless ia household life. How often we see mothors busily engaged in domestic duties, like a slave, in order that the girls may enjoy every luxury and do nothing; indeed, many hardly let their daughters soil their hands. No woman ought to marry who cannot look well to the ways of the household. In case she may not be required to work, she ought to be able to see whether the work is done in a proper manner, A woman is out of her element unless she is ac- quainted to a certain extent with sciences of bake-ology, boil-ology, stitch-ology, make-ology and mend- ology. There never was a greater blunder than to substitute good looks for good qualities. The reason why so many men do not make homes for themselves in these days is because they cannot af- ford it. The women are tov much averse to working and two extrava- gant in all their tastes. We want more frugality, industry and system; if wecould introduce these virtues into our higher society we should diminish the envy, jealousy and sui- cides of the single, and the wretched- ness, the biekering and the diverces of the married. Every girl ought to be brought up to have regalar daily domestic duries.. Idleness should be forbldden her.

Replying to an inquiry about the percentage of prisoners, and the per- centage of deaths, on either side in the war between the States, the N. Y. Journal of Commerce yesterday says:— “Draper gives the whole number of Confederates captured and sent to depots in the North during the war as 222,847; and the whole number of United States troops captured and sent to depots ia the Soath at 126,950. Tne number of Confederates who died from all causes (including wounds received in battle) while in the custe- dy of the United States was iv the ratio of one in eight and twenty-seven hundredths. The number of United States prisoners who died in the depots at the South was one in three and forty-four Lundredtis, This re port as to United States troops only included those actual y interred at the Confederate prisons, Later in- vestigations as to missing — soldiers added tothe list, so that itis the opinion of those best quailified to judge that the true ratio was about one to three; that is, that out of a given number of prisoners three dicd iv Southern prisous to one who died in Northern prisons. A part of this difference was undoubtedly owing to the privatioas the Southern people were themselves suffering for want of medical appliances and what we are accustomed to call the necessaries and comforts of life, and to the dilferen- ces of climate.” Mr. Alexander H. Stephens, in his schvol history of the United States, prints the facts, derived neither from Draper nor from any other historian North or South, but from the records at Washington, as compiled and made public by the Surgeon General of the United States. These are: — “Of Federal prisoners during tue war, the Confederates took in reund uumbers 270,000; while the whole namber of Confederates captured and held in prisons by the Federals was in hike round vumbers 220,000. Tu reference to the treatment of — prison- ers onthe respective sides, about which much was said at the time, two facts are worthy of note: one is, that the Confederates were ever anxious for a speedy exchange, which the Federals would not agree to; the oth- er is, that of the 270,000 Federai prisoners taken, 22,576 died in Con- federate hands; and of the 220,000 Confederates taken by the Federals, 26,436 died in their hands: the mor- tuary tales thus exhibiting a large per cent in favor of Confederate hu- uianity.” Bark Sense.

They continued to grow, and finally de- veloped into what the doctors called can- cer of the breast. In a short time I found my strength yone and my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do nothing -more tor me. The cancer by this time was eat- iny out my very life, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use ef. Swift’s Spectic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won— dertul: medicine has brought back my health again.

I can not feel too vrateful for this wondertul re- covery, for Iam satistied if it had not been for Swift’s Specitic I would have been in my grave to-day.

BY STAR-GAZER, ’Tis twelve, and midnight enthroned sits | in full view, Arrayed in royal robes of a dark and som- bre hue, Bedecked all o’er with sparkling gems of purest light, As ever yet hath flashed a beam on mor- tal sight: ° And their brilliant, sparkling rays doth all hearts cheer, Expelling therefrom every torturing grief and fear ; While their alluring beauty awakens eve- ry soul and tongue In praise of Him, who first in heaven these orbs hung. Oh! what a feast of soul at this midnight hour; Reverently to contemplkate God’s great skill and power : In calling out to view such a vast and mighty fleet Of worlds, to sail ever with such a speed and sweep, Through the unfathomable depths of | boundless space : Each sailing with lightning speed, in its own proper place ; ! Whether it be foul, or whether it be fair: Bravely breasting the storms they may meet anywhere. Yes, thus they ever glide through the boundless deep, Swifter than tender thoughts to beauty e’er did leap; Or, as fleet as love, and aspiration’s spring at night To that God who, in creation has shown his love and might! Yea, for each sparkling gem doth speak forth His praise Plain, if not louder than the sun’s efful- gent rays; Or a convoy of comets in their wild errat- ic sweep, Tho’ regardless where they go, or time they keep. This is the hour the best and worst of men employ As do savage beasts: with alacrity and joy The astronomer now does his best for his fellowmen Among the upper worlds, to make their movements plain, And show the laws that they are each governed by, As on through the depths of space they forever fly: A fleet so very great, majestic and sub- lime ;— They evermore proclaim: He that made us is divine. In these still hours when most good men slumber, And while wrapped in repose care not to number The passing time; others watch at the couch of pain, And labor to relieve e’en when their la- bor’s vain. While more brutish men, like savage beasts of prey, That skulk from the light go forth at close of day To prowl in the dark, that; they by fraud or force May injure or dispoil all they meet in their course. So the sublime teachings of the stars fail to dart Humanity, or love into a savage heart ; Such care not for God, nor life, nor fear they death, But go alone for self, and will while they have breath. They flee away from all life’s soft and ge- _nial rays To their dark dens, and caves and unfre- quented ways; Venture forth at night to perpetrate deeds of crime, / So long as darkness befriends them or lends them time. But sweet, indeed, to the better class of men, Beasts and birds, are such genial hours to them; _, While slumber’s soft dominion o’er them gently spreads, ; Giving new strength to all both in their hearts and heads ; — Assuring to them all more vitality and life, . Soothing their sorrews and healing every strife, . ; And by silence profound, enclosing them around— Make them feel they. to another world are bound. Yes, oh yes! the stillness of the midnight hour Speaks to every thoughtful mind and heart with power, Alike in the chamber, as when they rove abroad. ~= ee When they look to heaven they feel there is a God; ‘For this strong lesson ever doth nature on man intrude; ; While the weeping heavens in silence o’er him brood, = As if fearing, at last some mortal may not make sure Of eternal life, and a home among the pure. Sweet, indeed, is the night for observa- tion, And none contemplation: | To recount the past, or ture, Lest we, by recklessness, our peace may butcher. . So may the mood, the stars, and stillness of each night, ; Evermore enable us all to keep in sight The works of God, ahd. what they wero created for ; That we may love them all, and Him through them adore. better for deep thought and look into the fu- Oh, ye orbs of light in heaven’s boundless sphere ee Hymn forth your praise, both loud and clear ! .

Sauispury, N. C., Sept. 18. ‘Pass the hot biscuit and a slice of fat pork to Mr Cyril, my dear,” ejacu- lated one of our substantial, good-heart- ed old farmers up in the Piedmont sec- tion while at supper the other day. “Not any, I teak you, I perfer stale bread and a mug of fresh milk,” replied Mr. Cyril courteously. And this is what constitutes many of our farmers’ bill of fare through the whole year. Hot biscuit and fresh pork! Good Lord, deliver us! After supper Guy Cyril and a half dozen farmers assembled together under the refreshing branches of a huge oak and began conversation on the dietetic ae ot life. “Do you not know,” red Gu Cyril. “that there is no ae why yeu gentlemen following so healthful a call- ing as agriculture should not live to be 100 years old.” “Too long to sweat and moan under the burden of this life,” replied one. “Stomach too weak to last that num- ber of years,” replied another. “Got to take too much medicine in that time to keep well,” ejaculated a lean and hungry dyspeptic; and so on answered the crowd, each giving a dif- ferent reason for the ills he endured. “Tl tell you what’s the matter with all you farmers,” said Mr. Cyril in his pleasing tone of voice. You don’t know how to eat, and what to eat, and when you get good food there are only a very Few who pum how to prepare it before it is serv- ed. To begin, man is made great or little by what he eats. Hot biscuit, fried pork, grease and bad coffee superinduce half of the sickness among our people in this healthful State. “Just as the twig is bent the tree is inclined,” physiological- ly as well as morally. Those mothers who force their little children, even be- fore they are capable of masticating a particle of it, to swallow flesh during the summer months, are little aware how seriously they are injuring the or- ganization and corrupting the whole nature of the future men and women. Let us eat more vegetables and fruits in the summer months, and abstain from meat and fried food. Here asked one of the lean and hung- ry dyspeptic farmers who looked like one of Pharoah’s kine: “Why so? Meand my wife allers eats fried pork and hot biscuit.” Yes, I should judge so by the looks of your children as well as by the ap- pearance of yourself and wife. Well, Ill tell you why, remarked Cyril, assuming the position of a bene- factor to his race. For four good reasons. First, physio- logically: In summer you don’t want much heat in the body—there is gen- erally enough outside—therefore you don,t want so much meat. If you eat vegetables instead, you can endure heat, hunger and thirst longer without loss of strength. Your digestion will be bet- ter and will be unattended with that disturbance, heat, irritation, oppression of the stomach and dullness or drowsi- ness of the head, which meat-eaters generally experience after dinner, and which some physiologists, on the mis- taken supposition that it was natural, have called the ‘fever of digestion.” You can toil better, your mental pas- sions will be more governable and bet- ter balanced. Your body will become more vigorous, in proof of which I need only refer you to the toiling millions of Europe and the Eastern nations. You can endure the exposures to atmos- heric vicissitudes much better and in act endure all of the burdens of this life with half the pain and torture should you give up the fried meat system. Second: The medical evidence is that you will be less hable to epidemical and infectious diseases of al] kinds, and much more easily cured of them, either by the efforts of nature or ordinary remedial means. During the cholera season in New York in 1832, 1834, and 1839, no per- sons whose habits of living approximat- ed the fruit and vegetable dict died of disease. ‘Take the tourists who visit Florida, and who lives on a vegetable and citrus diet—they never get sick. Take the missionaries and teachers who go to Africa and who abstain from meat and grease—they never. become a prey to disease. Third reason: The chemical evidence is on the side of those who eat of fruits and vegetables in summer. If we de- termine the value of foods strictly by the rule of chemical analysis, according to the Liebig school, we shall find that good wheaten bread, rice and lentils contain four times as much nutritive virtue as the best flesh-meat, while po- tatoes contain at least an equal amount. If we admit Leibig’s theory of the com- bustion of carbon to sustain the animal temperature, we shall find abundance of carbon, and the best kind of carbon, in vegetable food. Fourth reason: The experimental evidence, which is the best reason after all. We have no account that Adam and Eve ever departed from the com- mandment of God in their dietetic habits, and in the absence of all evidence to the contrary we are bound to believe that they ate largely of vegetables. t osephus testifies that the Essenes, a sect of the ancient Jews, numbering several thousand, were long-lived be- cause of their regular course of life and simplicity of diet, which Pliny tells us consisted of the fruit of the palm-tree. Herodotus, a celebrated ancient his- torian; Hippocrates, the father of me- dicine; Diodorus Sicculus, the historian; Ovid, the poet; and Pliny, the Roman naturalist, all testify that the primitive inhabitants of the earth subsisted on a vegetable diet alone. k at the antry of England, Scotland, Teisad, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Norway, Denmark and tiany oe of + Russia, who subsist on vegetable food. The greater portion of the inhabitants of Asia and Africa use but an insignifi- cant trifle of animal food. The mill- ions of Hindostan and China use so lit- tle of animal food that it may be re garded as a seasoning rather than a substantial part of their diet. The Greek and Russian laborers and the lazzaroni of Naple, yubsist on a diet principally of coarse farimaceous food, and they are as athletic and powerful a race as can be found. The Irish immi- grants, whose brawny arms and power- ful sinews perform the hard work of excavating our canals and constructing our railroads, which our flesh-bred Ameriean laborers have not the strength to do, have generally acquired good, vigorous constitutions on the coarse, vegetable potato diet of the old country. Therefore it becomes quite evident that if, during the summer, one well-to- do family would only use a little com- mon sense—letting go the fried meat and taking up the fruits and vegetable they would seldom get sick in the early fall, but be enabled to continue their hard work through all the seasons and through all life for that matter. Do you know that half of our im- migration to this State become dissatis- fied with our mode of cooking, the manner in which the food of our far- mers is prepared and served quicker than anything else? If the fact be known I would not be surprised if the crofters did not become dissatisfied on that account instead of being unable to get work. If we would be well and prosperous we must first know how to hive. The art of life is knowing how to live. Make no mistake. Guy Crrit. > + >< ee Diseases of Wine. bhe cryptogam, MMycoderma aceti, makes wine into vinegar; its conge- nor, Afycoderma vini, which lives on new young wine, fades and withers iu old and does no harm, When, how- ever, wine “spurts” in the barrel, is turbid to the eye, and flat to the taste -—when poured into a giass a crown of round bubbles rises to the top, and when slightly haken, silky little waves meve about ip all directions, then a minute filament about a thousandth partof a millimeter in diameter, of a variable length and extreme tenaci- ty, has made its appearance. In large quaatities this organisin forms a gla- tinous deposit at the bottom of the cask, producing carbonie acid, which spoils the wine. ‘The disease of turbid, spurted and spoiled wine is fermentation, caused by an organism—a ferment—originally ex- isting ou the surfaee of the grape, where also exists the organism which causes the erderly and vinous fermen- tation. All red wines, especially the finest of the Cote d’ Or, are subject to this disease, which makes them bitter and unfit to drink, White wines, on the contrary, areexempt frem this, but. are subject to another dieease call- ed maladie de lu graisse. They, too, become turbid ; but where the red are bitter, these are flat, insipid, and vis- cous. The maladie de la graisse is due toa filamentous organism like that which makes red wine spurt ; but the two differ in structure and physiolog- ical action. The remedy in either case is te kill the organism by heat. One misute’s beating at the proper temperature is enough to preserve the wine from all the. diseases caused by fermentation. The heating in noewise affects the most delicate boquet of the most delicate vintages, aud though experts at first protessed to detect a shade of difference in .the flavor be- tween the heated and the unheated wines, when they had detected a like shade between two glasses poured out of the same bottle they confessed their defeat, and Pasteur’s remedy for cal- orification was justilied.— Zhe Fort- nighlly Review.

Solicitor Dobson was a native of Surry county and for many years practiced law in the counties of Wilkes, Alleghany, Ashe, Yadkin, Surry, Stokes and Forsyth, gaining the high esteem of all who knew him by Aris excellent qualities in private, social and business relations of life. At the time of his death, Mr. Dobson was serving the closing portion of his third term as Solicitor, serving a pe- riod of twelve years to the satisfaction of all who desire to see the law of the land justly and ably defended. True to his friends aud party, and faithful to his business: a good lawyer, an ex- cellent citizen and an affectionate fa- ther and husband. We speak the sentiments of all in deploring his death and extending our sincerest sympathies to the bereaved, for Jo- seph Dobson fought his battle of life nobly. Peace to his ashes.— Winston Sentinel, Strest Manners. The want of any uviform rule in passing persons on the sidewalks, isa cause of great awk wardness and much embarrassment to every gentleman and lady. What can be better cal- culated to make ene feel and look more ludicrous than meeting a party and neither know on which side the other wishes to pass, while both turn first to one side aud then to the other to avoid each other, but ending in a collision, or in being brought .toa dead halt face to face with each other —both perhaps being strangers? Who has not labored under such embar- rassment? And yet how easy all this sort of thing may be avoided if the public will ouly agree that it shall be. How easy for every one always for everyone to bear to the right iu passing. Will not every ove do this? No diff- erence who it way be, white, colored, young or old; let a] do it, and then the stream of human life will flow along our streets as gently as the breuk flows alung its grassy banks.

I ate them in February, sliced and seasoned with sugar and a little vinegar, that seemed in every way as nice as tomatoes fresh from the vines. “Dissolve a teacupful of salt in a gation of water.

A few days ago three young ladies of Salisbury took the wrong train at Hicko- ry and started South instead of coming to Lenoir as they intended. The conductor mistook Lenoir written on their tickets for Lancaster. At Newton, they recog- nized Lovelady, but improved so much since they came down the narrow gauge | last, and they failed to remember when they crossed the bridge although they were looking out for the pretty view. At Maiden they missed the benign counten- ance of Mayor Hudson but supposed that he must have been infused with the spirit of the age and was out pushing on the work which was so fast turning Hudson- ville into a brisk town. At Lincolnton they could scarcely believe their eyes for here had sprung up, as if by magic, a beautiful town on thespot where erstwhile the wood station of Shakerag did vegetate. On, on they went—it did seem that Lenoir was more than 20 miles from Hickory— “Mr. Conductor when will we reach Le- noir?” ‘Lenoir!’ and the denouement came. They were nearly to Gastonia. Here they stopped and spent the day and, at 12 o’clock that night steamed into Le- noir to meet the chaffing of their anxious friends who had got hold of the joke,— Lenoir Topic. A Child Killed by a Train. The Air Line passenger train which ar- rived in this city from Atlanta, Sunday afternoon, killed a little white girl near Gastonia. The child was four years old and was the daughter of a Mr. Mayo, who lives one quarter of a mile from the rail- road track. The unfortunate little girl, with an older sister were in a field near the road, and saw the train coming. They attempted to run across the track, the elder sister leading and getting across in safety. The younger one, however, was not quick enough, and when about half way across the track was struck by the engine and hurled ‘into the air. She fell a few feet from the track and was dead before any one could reach her.—Charlotte Observer. “Shall Bruise Thy Head.” A few weeks ago Miss Fanny Jones, of Cilley, went into the orchard and was standing beneath a tree when she heard a peculiar noise and felt the wriggling of something beneath her feet. Looking down she was horror-stricken to see the tail ofa rattle snake in agitation before her. She screamed and jumped and turn- ing round, discovered that she had been standing on the snake’shead. With great coolness and bravery she dispatched the rattler with a stick and when she meas- ured it found it to be 24 feet in length.— Lenoir Topic. EE ae Quixotic Cable. George W. Cable, having lined his nest by his paid slanders against the Southern people, is now turning his attention to the advocacy of women suffrage. It is cruel in him to first try to degrade the South and then to degrade the women of the whole land. George is a sort of nine- teenth century Don Quixote, with the ex- ception that he has not half the knightly manliness and honor of the Knight of LaMancha.— Wil. Star — The Georgia Senate has passed a bill materially amending the railroad com- mission act, and sent it to the House for concurrence. The bill repeals the arbi- trary powers of the commission, and gives railroad companies the right to maké their own rates. The commissioners are to hear complaints only.

New Sona.—Thanks are extended brother Woods of Richmond, Va., for aeopy of anew sacred song: ‘Nearer My God to Thee.” Itis a graceful, easy flowing melody for tenor or so- prano voice. Miss Supre Murpuy. accompanied by her brother, Mr. Thomas Murphy, will go to New York City on Monday. Lexington, Concord, Miss Murphy is still suffering from the were well represented | effects of her fall from a road cart last summer. IT WAS THE DAUGHTER of Mrs. Eller, and not that lady that fell dead last week. The girl, aged about 16, com- plained of headache, and fell on the tloor and died before medical assistance could be summoned. WittkKowsky & Barucn, the enter- | prising and succesful wholesale and re- tail merchants of Charlotte appear in this puper in an advertisement. They are reliable and progressive. See what they have to say. Mr. Thos. Mowery’s house was entered on last Monday evening, in the absenae of his family, and a lot of clothing and provisions stolen. Mr. Mowery lives In prosperous Brooklyn——just across the bridge from Salisbury. Reab wat T. F. Krutrz & Co.. have to say in this paper in regard to their new and popular “Tobacco Lini- ment.” Tt is the greatest medicine for the purposes indicated ever discovered. They have testimonials every day. Call at their store. and take a bottle home for family use. Iuprovine.—Capt. J. A. Fisher has just put steam connections to his grist mill, and has added a saw mill to the plant. He has also improved his steam cotton gin. Capt. Fisher is one of the most active men in Locke township. J. S. M-Cupsins, Sr., the popular and reliable merchant at “No. 1, Gran- ite Row.” has something to say to the people of this Connty. See advertise- ment in another column. He _ has bought the largest and best selected stock of goods this season that he has ever shown on this market. CompLatyers.——T he world has always had a full quoto of complainers. Cole's circus, good in every respect, failed to escape the chronic complainer. Two rings were objected to because both could not be seeti at one time. The ab- sence of red circus lemonade inside the tent was also a fruitful source of com- plaining—had nothing but ordinary lemonade. Some people want the earth! They go tosee the animals and fuss about two rings and red lemonade. THE present City Council has been zealous in good works since taking the reins of government in hand. The most commendable act, one that gives uni- versal satisfaction is the removal of the force pump and_ belongings from the public square. The towns around that are contemplating water works, could no doubt purchase this defunct outfit below cost. Apply to any citi- zen. Itis always a pleasure to show zoods, Tramps and beggers are now mak- ing their way South. Not one of them has “had anything to eat since yester- day morning.” They lodge any where under the broad canopy of the Stars, Neorly all of them are “going home” ind need only about “10 cts or a half dollar.” to take them there. Not one in ten thousand will tell :-h> truth, ant not more than one in twenty thousand would travel at all except to beg a living. Tramping is their calculatian, lying their trade and idleness their glory. SHaxt Sauispury have a Photograph gallery ? The building at present used for the purpose has passed into other hands. Every industrial interest at- tracting people to town is worthy of being fostered, and it is hoped there may be a way found for contmuing the photograph gallery in some eligible po- sition. It isa public convenience of considerable importance and the town should never be without one. A real ar- tist of merit could doa remunerative business here. S. H. Wirry, Esq., who has been absent for nearly a month is back again. He has been doing the western part of the State very thoroughly; he and several other gentlemen have pur- chased athousand acres of land_ at Balsam Mountain, in Jackson Co.. where they are getting out the timber- for erec:ing summer residences. It is the point where the trains pass on the Ducktown branch of the Western road. Mr. Wiley’s family have been at this place all summer and are much im- proved in health. Since leaving the muntstains, Mr, Wiley hes been ‘o just now. Boston, New York and Baltimore, look- ing after his various business interests.? & - are beginning to wake up-to a know]l- edge of the advantages Of their sur- roundings, _All over the County are new enterprises—stores, 1 noe aa existence, It ‘ave of a healthy and progressive growth on the part of the roe It is Seat pleasure to note it ; and, just here, the WatcHMAN Wishes to say that it will be glad to have information of every improvement going on in the County, and will esteem ita favor if friends throughout the County will send no- tices of every industrial improvement going on. is indica- A Contrast, A gentleman living and farming in this County stated to the - Reporter, that last year he put one acre in tobac- co and two in cotton; that he worked both well, giving each every due atten- tion. He realized for the cotton, forty- two dollars, and for the tobacco, sold on this market, he realized one hundred and two dollars. ‘hese were both good yields, and show what may be done by careful farming. SCHOOL COMMITTEN. At a recent meeting of the School Committee, it was determined to run the Colored Graded School this winter. At a joint meeting of the Trustees of the Colored Normal School and the School Committee, Messrs. M. I. Holmes, Theo. Kluttz and Rev. F. J. Murdoch, were appointed as joint com- mittee to manage both the colored schools. They have elected Rev. J. Crosby, principal, and C. C. Summer- ville and Mrs. M. Howell, assistant teachers ; having declined to give a place to J. R. Richardson, ex-mail agent, thongh he was endorsed by ma- ny of the colored people. << Farming on a Big Scale. Mr. Peter Hairston, of Baltimose, is a large land owner in Rowan, Davie and Davidson Counties. Mr. Frank Brown, a Salisbury man, has the man- agement of Mr. Fane lands, and is doing some big farming. Wheat Was not a success, except in great] favored localities, anya lars in Nort Carolina, this year, but Mr. Brown harvested about six thousand bushels— only little more than half a crop. The corn crop to be gathered this fall is estimated at thirty thousand bushels! It may exceed those figures. The biggest thing is the tobacco crop. He has six hundred thousand _ hills of tobacco! It is in good condition, and with average curing, it is estimated that the crop will be worth $10,000. This looks like big farming, and it is farming in earnest. Cotton. and the smaller crops are not brought into the count. Salisbury Cotton Market. Business is beginning briskly in cotton circles here. Mr. J. D. Gaskill, for several years engaged in buying, will continue as usual. He has always been one of the heaviest buyers. Ee J. D. McNeely, Commission merchant, will also be a buyer this season. Mr. John F. Ross, so well known to our people is expected to be here soon, and should he come will be a buyer. Mr. J. Allen Brown will also buy this fall. Messrs. J. M. Knox & Co. will buy about their ususual quantity this season. This means to the farmer that there will be plenty of bidders here and that they may bring cotton to this market and get as good prices as are given anywhere. Remember that all of the interests of Salisbury are looking up, and that the business men of the town intend to see that no branch of trade shall suffer from any cause. They all have extra inducements in. the way of goods this fall, and will see that the best prices are paid for all products. of the es Accident Last Thursday, Capt. Thomas Murphy, ane of the opine conductors on iT auetess! North Carolina railroad, is off duty He is giving his bruises time to heal before he goes on another run. He was among those hurt by the accident on the Paint Rock divis- ion of the Western road, which oe- curred on last Thursday, the 24th mst. The accident was caused by the breaking of arail. The whole train was derailed, but only one coach—the first class passenger—was overturned. Capt. Murphy was taking tickets at the time and says that the coach was thrown on its side with such violence as to tear up the seats, sending them with their occupants, to the lower side. The car was dragged for some distance, and as it moved great stones from the side of the cut were scraped into the car through the windows: hurting some of the passengers and injwing the coach very much. For- tunately no fatality accompanied the accident. The incident will most probably re- sult in hastening the laying of steel r.ul along the French Broad. Town Commissioners, Brief of proceedings.—Rev. F. J. Mur- doch stated that he had been appointed by the census takers to make a report of their work. He asked permission to take the book of returns for the purpose of cor- recting some errors made by enumerators. —A petition from the Graded School Teachers asking for a fence around the Graded School grounds was granted. D. A. Atwell and P. P. Meroney were made a committee to take bids for the new fence, and were instructed to have 50 shade treesset out on the grounds. The Mayor was instructed to have nec- essary repairs made on cottoa platform;also to look after the condition of certain streets &c—Bills ordered paid: J. P. Weber, four months blacksmithing act., $19,22; D. R. Julian, listing city taxes for 1885, $40; Edwards, Broughten & Co. Printers, 35,35. —Lamp ordered to be put up at Railroad bridge, in front of G.

A young lady, newly married, being obli yet, her hosband the letters she wrote, sent the following to a friend. The key is to read the first line and then every alternate line only: I cannot be satisfied, my dearest friend! blest as I-am.in the matrimonial state, unless I pour into your friendly bosom, which has ever been in unison with mine, the various sensations which swell with the liveliest emotions-of pleasure, my almost bursting heart. I tell you my [dear husband is the most amiable of men. - I have now been married seven ba oe an have never found the least reason to repent the day that joined us.

Among them he relates this: When I was living with my brother in Buffalo, Mark ‘l'wain occupied acottage across the street. We didn’t see very much of him, but one morning as we were enjoying our cigars on the veranda after breakfast we saw Mark come to his door in his dressing gown and slippers and looked over at us. He _ stood at his door and smoked fora minuteasif making up his mind about something, and at last opened his gate and came lounging across the street. There was an un- occupied rocking chair on the veranda, and when my brother offered it to him he dropped into it with asigh of relief. He smoked for afew moments and said: “Nice morning.” “Yes, very pleasant.” “Shouldn't wonder if we had rain by and b ca “Well, we could stand a little.” “This isa nice house you have here.” “Yes, we rather like it.” “How's your family?” “Quite well—and yours?” “Oh, we're all comfortable.” There was another impressive silence and finally Mark Twain crossed his legs, blew a puff of smoke into the air, and in his lazy drawl remarked: “I suppose you're a_ little surprised to see me over here so early. Fact is, 1 hay- en't been so neighborly perhaps as I ought to be. We must mend that state of things. But this morning I came over because I thought you might be interested in knowing that your roof is on fire. It struck me that it would be a good idea if—” But at the mention of fire the whole family dusted upstairs, trailing lan- guage all the way up. When we had put the fire out and had returned to the Veranda Mark wasn’t there — Kansas City Times. Buffalo Bill’s Fortune.

We'll show in the Alexandria Pal- ace in London, in the Champs de Mars in Paris and also it Vienna, Berlin, Moscow and St Petersburg and hundreds of smaller places. We shall go to Europe in a special steamer,” . Buffalo Bill is forty-three years old, weighs 210 pounds, stands six feet three inches, aud has never been sick in his life. He says he has the largest thoroughbred stock farm in America at North Platte, Lincoln county, Neb. The ranch consists of eight thousand acres under one fence, and he claims the lavd is not wild gevernment land, but paid for by him. He ewns twelve dwellings in the town, and his own house isa Western palace. Four weeks ago, while in Chicago, he bought forty- one head of imported cattle of the Heretord and Poil Angus breeds, and paid on an average $161 apiece for them. They were shipped to his farm. He employs over one bun- dred men on his farm, and is worth $450,000. He has been a member of the Legislature, a probate judge, high sheriff and justice of the peace.

The'following anecdote, told to many a Jittle round eyed-German boy, preserves the remembrance of one such heto of the battle field: General Kltiott, when Governor of Gibraltar, fortress was making a tour of inspec- tion, to see that all under his control was in order, when he suddenly came upon a German soldier standing on er held his musket nor presented. his arms when the general approached. Struck with the négleet, and una- Lie te account for it, the general ex- claimed: “Do yeu know me, sentinel, or why do you neglect your duty?” The soldier answered respectfully: “I know you well, general, and my duty also; but within the last few mivutes two of the fingers of my right hand have been shot off, aud 1 am unable to hold ny musket.” “Why do you net goand have them bound up then?’ asked the general, “Because,” answered the soldier, “in Gerwany a man is forbidden to quit his pest until he is relieved by another.” . The general instantly dismounted from his horse. “Now, friend,” he said, “give me your musket, and I will relieve you; go and get your weund attended to.” The soldier obeyed, but went first to the nearest heuse, where he told how the general stood at his post; and not till then didhe go and get his hand dressed. This injury completely unfitted him for active service; but the news of it having reached England, whith- er the wounded man had been sent, King George II. expressed a wish to see him, and for his bravery he inade him an officer. An Honest Man. “T am going down,” said a citizen on a Woodward avenue ear yesterday, ‘to return a lost wallet to its owner.” Every man in the car pricked up his ears, and one of them moved up closer and inquired: ‘You found a wallet, eh? ‘Yes sir.’ ‘On the street?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Ta the daytime?’ ‘No, at night.’ ‘Anybody see you pick it up?’ ‘Not a soul,’ ‘And you would have been perfect- ly safe in keeping it?” “I would,’ ‘Well, sir, let me shake hands with you. I have wanted to live long e- nough to find an honest man, and I have found hie.” They sliook, -Many of the passengers were visi- bly affected. ‘And now how much money was in the wallet?’ queried the interroga- tor afler wiping his eyes ou a pink- bordered handkerchief. ‘Not a blamed cent.

A drammer named Holmes brought suit in Charlotte the other day against the Carolina Central for $2,000 dam- ages on account of being “smoked,” and the jury awarded him $475. The facts seems to be that some time last year Holmes was a_ passenger on the Carolina Central, and went into the sleeping car, as he could not stand the smoke he said there was in the first class end of the regular pas- senger car, Not having a berth the conductor sent him back to the regu- lar passenger where he said he be- came sick from the tobacco smoke which came through the door from the front end. Now there is nothing strange in a jury giving damages against a rail- road, even in favor of a drummer, but the strange part is that a drum- ter should be made sick by tobacco smoke, Bless yuu, we thought they lived, as a matter of necessity, upon tebacco and whiskey. Think of it, a mao whohas existed upon rubber beef and aucievt eggs at one hostlery, pre-historic chicken and soda-ized bread at another, who has slept upon three slats and a sheet where ten oth- ers preceded him, who has traveled upon a freight train in August with a score of 15th Ameudments, whe has drank tadpoles aud water in the east, complaining of a little tobacco smoke!

Cancer Cured, About three years ago there appeared on my right breast several hard lumps which gave me almost intolerable pain. They continued to grow, and finally de- veloped into what the doctors called can- cer of the breast. In a short time I found my strength gone and my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by this time was eat- ing out my very lite, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift’s Specfic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won- derful medicine has brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, Iam perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person altogether. I can not feel too grateful fer this wonderful re- covery, for I am satisfied if it had not been for Swift’s Specific I would have been in my grave to-day. I most cheerfully rec- omm :nd it to all those who are suffering with this fearful disease. Mrs. Jane CLEMONS. Atlanta, Ga., April'16, 1885. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dise ses mailed free, .

Jotton-seed oil may be described in general terms as a universal carbonac- cous substitute and fatty adulterant. It serves on occasions as butter, lard, lubricating oil, soap grease, pomade, ointment or illumimant. With it the baker mixes his pastry, the artist his | paints, and the glazier his putty. Main- ers in the West use it for lighting al- most to the exclusion of all other oils. Asa food it is recommended by the purveyor of the British army, in a report to Parliament, as containing 95 |per cent. of nutriment. The French, jas well as all the other Latin races of Southern Europe, use it largely with ‘cereals as a substitute for meats. In the Russian army it forms a portion of the regular ration, and even in far Siberia it appears as part of every hunter's sup- plies. Its use as food in Germany and in England is rapidly extending, and every succeeding year brings a greater demand for the oil from every quarter where it has been introduced. The American public, whose squea- ‘mish taste finds nothing offensive in (“high” game or beef and pork tainted iby disease, has hardly begun to recog- ‘nize cotton seed oil as in itself a pure and wholesome article of food. It is steadily baught as an adulterant of lard and bntterine. Jt masquerades on our tables as pure olive oil. Bakers who use it generally conceal the fact, al- though three pounds of the oil will supply the place of four pounds of lard, }aud produce better results at consider- ably less cost. Our people are willing to use the high grade fancy soaps made from colton seed oil, but they will not, save in rare instances, install it imto their kitchens asa part of the daily food supply. This prejudice, it may be observed, is gradually becoming dislodg- ed from the public mind. The market for the oil is steadily widening, and as its good qualities become better known the supply. which is necessarily limited, rust fell below the demand, and the ; mills of the South, which now complain hof overproduction, will then find con- i stant aid remunerative occupation. | Turouzhout,the South, wherever cot- raised, there has been displayed |within the past few years an almost ‘feverish haste to build mills for manu- facturing oil from the seed. Statistics !athered by the Manufacturers’ Record |snow that the number of these mills | has increased from forty in the year SSO to 146 in 1885. The capital of he forty mills in 1880 was $3,354,600; hat of the 146 mills in 1885 is $10,- 792,400. If cotton secd oil should eventually ocepy that position in the national ic economy indicated for it by statistics of production and anticipated by students of hygenic science, these Southern manufacturers will rank as | revolutionizers of the country's tastes lin culinary matters. ‘To such a con- summation, unfortunately its present to 1s l t t | lomest wholesale uce as an adulterant inter- poses a formidable obstacle. meee —_—_ ——————— a A Bad Practice. It is little use to remonstrate with the Judies about anything ; they are in the habit cf following their own sweet wikis; but nevertheless we are con- strained to tell them that it is a very bad practice some of them have of seuding North for almost everything they want in value above a spool of thread. How do they expect home merchants to live when they buy their shown in the numerous catalogues which crowd the mails appear to bea ‘ittle cheaper thau the same articles can be bought for here (and after pos- iuge, expressage, &e., are paid it is doubtful if they are really cheaper), it is still better to buy the goods here and let the home merchant get his profit out of them, If some things that are wanted cannot be found here, che home merchant will order them ata trifling advance upon the listed orice and still get his little profit. If everybody pursued the practice that some of the ladies do there wonld soon not bea dry goods house in Statesville. Men do not do this thing —men of any thoughtfulness. The husbanda, fathers, brothers of there il tadies know that they must get their “| iiving in Statesville, not in New York ur Pniladelphia; and henee they buy -jat home and try to help home folks -Jalong. Whenever all the men do- ing business in a town adopt the practice of seading elsewhere for ev- rythivg they use, they may prepare to meve out very soon, for that town will not affurd them a living long.— Landinark. | f ep A jelly fish stranded at Ceyland t{ weighed over two tous, and at night {gave out a light sufficient to read by. fa ten days it had evaporatgd so that it weighed yuly two poRndes | Some ingenious soul finds that the brown spots on tubacco big drops le(t act as lenses when the ‘Jin long rows, and in the upper room A New Departure in Insurance. The State of New Ha:opshire has taken a new departure in legislation concerning insurance. It has enacted a law compelling companies that issue policies of insurance against fire to pay the full amount of the insurance in case of the total destruction of the pro- perty by fire. The law in that State us been. the same as it is in North Carolina and other States. The insu- rance company was allowed to show in an action on the policy by the insurer what his actual loss was, and only for that amount could judgment be given. Under this state of the law it often happens that the companies after hav- ing been paid by the policy holder for a certain amount of insurance, refuse, when the property is burned, to pay the full amount insured. claiming that there was over insurance. The advo- cates of the new law say that it only “compels the companies to do what they are paid for doing. On the other hand the insurance companies claim that the new act holds out the strongest inducements to bad men to obtain insurance by deceitful representations, with the view to burn- ing the property and obtaining the full amount insured. They say they can- not do business in a State where such a law prevails, and are withdrawing agencies, cancelling their policies and winding up business in New Hamp- shire. There are two sides to the ques- tion and it seems to us that whatever may be the state of the law, the compa- nies will find some plan for continuing their business without incurring the risks which they claim they will be subjected to under the new law.—Char. Democart. a “Considering that a Buzzard!” Say what you please, the railroads have pretty hard times when they get into court. Some time ago a drummer for a fertilizer house, riding on the Car- olina Central Railroad, went into the sleeping car without paying the extra fare, and was sent forward by the con- ductor into the regular first-class car. It was divided into two parts, one di- vision being the smoking car, and the smoke coming through the open door offended the nostrils and racked the nerves of this fastidious drummer to the amount of $10,000. At least this is the amount of damages he sued for, and a jury at Charlotte last week gave him $475. Considering that a buzzard will fly five miles to get around a guano warehouse, it is 2 little remarkable that a guano drummer should so_ object to the odor of burnt tobacco. Even when mixed with garlic and whisky it smells better than guano. If Mr. Holmes had been suing a stage line, a hotel keeper, or any other association or individual, anything else than a railroad, he would have been laughed out of court.— Statesville Landmark. Tokay Vineyard. At this beautiful place of our Con- gressman, Wharton J. Green, all is life. Men, women and children are eathering grapes ready for the press. Wine making is now the order of the day. The yield this year far exceeds any previous year—estimated at four times the usual amount. In the wine- house, the lower floor, or cellar, hun- dreds of casks of old wine are strung luge casks are filled with the newly expressed juce of the grape undergoing fermentation. The crop of Isabella, Concord, ete. was not as good as usual, and instead of shipping they were con- verted into wine. ‘okay is a magnifi- cent place. An uninterrupted sea of vines not only gives beauty to the place, but makes the very air at this season redolent with the delightful perfume of the fruit.—Fayetteville Obs. Giving Narcotics. A man was lately tried in England for giving a five-weeks-old child four drops of laudanum, thereby causing its death. The examination of witnesses showed that the ideas of womankind concerning the administration of nar- cotics to infants are dangerously hazy. One woman thought the dose of lauda- num for a child was one drop for éach year of its age; another thought it was a drop for each week. A physician tes- tified that most soothing syrups were composed of opium, and fatal results often attend their use. He thought they were unsafe at any age under one year, and that even homeopathic pre- parations were unsafe for infants. —____—~—apo—-—_—_——_—- Little Rhody.

The Daily Advance special from Abing- don, says that Judge George W. Ward, editor of the Examiner, and Common- wealth’s Attorney for Washington county, while about to enter the Colonade Hotel yesterday, about 4p. m., was fired upon by Dr. William White, Independent can- didate for State Senator, who had been secreted in astore room nearly opposite the hotel. White stepped out ofthe door and discharged one barrel of a shot gun loaded with buck shot, at Ward, who fell face foremost, but recovering on his kmees, drew his pistol and fired three shots at a young relative of White’s, who was on the opposite side of the strect behind a tree. White in the mean time had step- ped inside the store, and hearing firing, came out again, and fired the second bar- rel at Ward, who feil. While he was lying on the ground, two-of White’s relatives, one of whom Ward had already shot at, and whom he thought had shot at him, walked up and fired seven shots at him (Ward) all of which took eifect. Judge Ward is now in a very critical condition, and it is thought he can’t live. Dr. White and his two relatives have been arrested and bailed in the sum of $7,000 each. Great excitement exists in Abingdon and vicinity, but no fear of further violence is entertained. The Tailed Men of Pariguay. From the Pall Mall Gazette. If the Ensayo Medico of Caracas, a journal unearthed by the Larcet, may be believed, the seeming impossibtlity of a tailed man need no longer prove a stum- bling block to the faith of would be evo- lutionists. In the last issue to hand of this print the following paragraph occurs: “There has just been an interesting dis- covery in Paraguay ofa tribe of Indians furnished with tails. One day a number of workmen belonging to acura Tayu were engaged in cutting grass, when their mules were attacked by Guayacugan In- dians, and some of them killed. The workmen pursued them, and succeeded in capturing a little boy of 8 years of age. He was taken to Senor Francisco Golro- choe at Posedas, and it was then discover- ed that he had a tail 10 inches long. The boy says that he has a brother who has a tail as long.as his own, and that all the tribe have tails.” here are clearly no half measures about these tails, and if boys of 8 have them 1G inches long there is no saying what may be the length of the tail ofa full grown man. It would have added to the interest of this informa- tion if we had been further told how the tails are worn—whether proudly aloft like that of acolley or in the downcast manner Of a cow. Enterprise in the West- We were rather surprised to learn the other day, of the extensive wool business done by Gwyn, Harper & Co., at Patter- son factory. They receive wool from all sections of the east and west,—Asheville, Shelby, Wilson, Gastonia, Bridgewater, Wilmington, Chester, Norfolk and other towns in North and South Carolina and Virginia, which they spin and weave into yarns and woolen cloth on shares. Mr. Faucette, the agent-of the C.& L. R.

Asa result, the man missed the doctor, and his little boy dicd because the doctor came too late to take a fish bone from his throat. At the funeral the minister said killed with a lie which another boy told with his finger. I suppose that boy did not know the mischief he did. Of course, nobody thinks he meant to killa little boy when he pointed the wrong way. He only wanted to have a little fun. “But it was fun that cost somebody a great deal; and if he ever heard the result of it, he must have felt guilty of doing a mean and wicked thing.

Ifa debtor is unable to pay on the day his debt is due he is arrested and chained to a post for five days. Then an |} officer looks at him to see if his punish- ment has enabled him to pay his debt. Of course it hasn’t, andsothe debtor’s labor is sold to the government for forty cents aday until the obligation is dis- charged. The government sends him with a gang of felonsto asilver mine, and he does not see the light again until the debt is discharged. Fair Warning. The Concord Times say the new postal law which goes into effect on and after Wednesday, July Ist, makes taking ofa newspaper and the refusal to pay for the same, theft; and any person guilty of such action is liable to criminal proceedings, the same as if guilty of stealing goods to the amount of the sabseriplion!

OCT. 8, 1885. ~~~ “Yast Sand a Cabinet. A citizen of this county who knows no- thing about mineralogy though he takes much interest in it, makes a suggestion which strikes us as practical: The De artanent of Agriculture at Raleigh has a arge accumulation of minerals of differ- ent kinds which, where they are, can be seen of course by but a small portion of the people of the State. There are many mineral localities in North Carolina, and many people believe that they are living on mineral lands, but they do not know by sight the minerals which they believe 4#o be around them. The suggestion 1s that the department send out, on applica- tion, small specimens of minerals for com- arison—take corundum for instance. “ew people know it by sight and a man unfamiliar with it might stumble over it every day of his life and never be attract- ed by it. If he had a small piece of corun- dum as a guide he would know other cor- rundum when he sawit. And so with other minerals. The suggestion sec:is to be practical,—Statexrille Landmark. It is exceedingly practical! The most practical thing suggested recently. It is so forcibly practical that the News- Observer reproduces it with the brief encomium : “which we indorse.” Yes, take corundum. Notone man in a hundred, not thoroughly conversant with the subject, would be able to identify corundum with the aid of half a dozen specimens for comparison. le- member that corundum may be most any color; that it is white, pink, red, grey, brown, black and blue; that it exists in all the tints of these and oth- er colors; that it may be lmpid, trans- Incent, opalescent, semi-opaque and opaque, according to its associated min- eral companions. In Brother Cald- well’s county, (fredell,) corundum is associated with tourmaline, margarite, chlorite, calco-nicacious shale, (Smith, ) ibrolite, soupstone, hyanite, MAY NESIAN, hornblenlic, yneissoid and other rock. Its structure may be crystaline, or mas- sive, with or without cleavage, striated one or two ways; striz crossed at right angles or obliquely, and et cetera. A man lust have something besides a “bit of a specimen” to enable him to go to the field and identify or classify minerals. Is it practical? The Watcr- MAN says not, Those having minerals on their property should send _ speci- mens to the eparement to be deter- mined. This has been the rule ever since the Department was organized, and is the only practical way that the Department can accomplish the work within a reasonable expenditure of money. The Mining Department of the WatTcuwaN has been doing this kind of work—identifying minerals— for the last few years, and not a week passes but that specimens are brought or sent for that purpose. But back to the subject : The Department of Agri- culture would be transformed to a lot of packing and shipping clerks, were the Landmark's suggestion carried in- to effect. What a mail they would open every day! “A” writes: “IT have some mineral on my place. It looks sorter redish-brown. Send me a piece of what you think it is.”. The Depart- ment would have to run a small brick- yard to supply specimens of curiously b-oken brick. There is no exaggeration, bnckbats are frequently sent. “B” writes: “[ have struck it rich—keep mum—it is very shiny and heavy, and the water in the branch where the vein crosses Is green and blue on top and all the froys die in it. Send mea piece of what it is with the name pasted on it.” And so on. Does it strike the reader as practical 7 Vhat the State needs just now isa thoroughly competent, active State Ge- ologist; a man in every sense capable of taking hold and pnshing the work of the State Geological Survey. Unigue Building Stones. About one-half of the ‘‘memorial stones” contribute by the different States and for- eign governments, have been put in posi- tion in the interior of the Washington Monument, and the work is still in prog- ress, North Carolina has a stone among the number, but as vet I have been una- ble to obtain a description of it from: per- sonal observation.— Washington Lets.» A stone for the Monument was sent from this city about thirty years ago, but whether that is the one alluded to we do not know. The stone sent isa “leopard- ite,” procured from a formation near Charlotte, and the only leopard-colored stone found in the United States. Two or three years ayo we procured specimens of the leopardite (at the request of the Census Burezu) and sent them to Wash- jugton—two for Museums in Washington, and one fora Museum in New York, The stone is extraordinary in appearance and beautiful, being spotted just like a leop- ard.—Chur. Demo, Not quite so sweeping, A ledge of leopardite is reported in Nistancs coun- ty, near the summit of the Blue Ridge at Blowing Rock. The writer has not seen it, and is not prepared to say that it is_ true leopardite—quartz porphyry with manganese stains—but such a stone exists and is locally called Jeop- ardite. Again, in Davie eounty, there 13 a stone called “leopard-stone” by the people of the neighborhood. The mark- ings really resemble the spots of the leopard more closely than do those in the true leopandite of Mecklenburg county ; but it is allogether a different stone, being the so-called “orbicular granite.’ It is composed of nodular masses of dark green augite in matrix of fieldspar and quartz. Both the Mecklenburg [herons and the Davie orbicular granite, are unique, and when polished, possess rare beauty.

The yeople of the eounty turned out by thousands, The Davie Times ts persistent in the work of enthysing the le on the subject of a railroad from ocksville to Salisbury. After reproducing the WatcHMAN’s remarks of two weeks ago, that paper says: oNDw. ee ink, ea justly too, that inasmuch as Rowan is the intellectual, wealthy and venerable mother of Davie, she should first call a meeting of her pro- gressive young men, and the old but rich citizens of Salisbury, and take the initia- tive in this grand movement to connect the two towns by rail. We suggest that Rowan send to Mocks- ville adelegation of her re ntative bu- siness men to meet alike delegation of the same class of citizens of Davie, to meet in this place on Monday, the 19th inst., it being the second Monday of our Superior Court, not only to discuss the feasibility, but the absolute practibility of going to work at once to build the road, Shall we haye such a meeting? What say you, Rowan! If we can get a meeting and come to a thorough understanding upon the matter, an organization com- posed of live men of both counties can be effected, a plan of opperation mappe out andthe ball putin motion. This done, we are of the opinion that the spee- dy construction of the road will be an ac- complished fact. After this earnest appeal, the WatcHMAN takes the liberty to call a meeting of such citizens of Rowan as are interested in the building of a road to Mocksville, to meet at the Court- house in Salisbury, at 12 o'clock noon, on Shanes the 17th inst., for the purpose of electing delegates, or repre- sentatives, to go to Moeksville on the following Monday. Let every man who has an interest in the material growth and prosperity of Rowan and of Salisbury, be present on Saturday the 17th. Thanks, Thanks, The Salisbury Watchman is outin a new dress.

As yet, the people of Salisbury and of Rowan have done nothing fa the Shotwell monument.

He did his duty nobly ; on the field of battle and suffered in the nor- thern prison work-house. His deeds and sufferings need not be recounted here. They are well known.

Washington is now passing the tedious moments that precede the: political and social opening. The President has long since resumed his arduous routine of of- fice work and hand-shaking. The Cabi- net members are all back, as are most of the employes of the different Government offices. The Departments are remarkably well up with their work. Less complaint is heard than has been known for years. Political gossip is confined to the cam- paigns in New York, Virginia and Ohio, and to the resignation of the two Repub- lican Civil Service Commissioners. . Attorney General Garland’s connection with the Bell telephone suits comes in for a good deal of comment and discussion. The Atty. General reached the city yester- day and said that the first intimation he had received of the connection of his name with the suits was a telegram he received while at Little Rock, Arkansas, stating that the N. Y. Tribune would make an attach upon him, and offering the columns of the New Orleans “Times, Democrat” for any reply he might choose to inake. He replied to the message of the “Times Democrat” that he had not heard of the suit before and knew nothing about it. He-had not granted any authority to institute such suit and was not aware ‘that one had been brought. He said “I own stock in the Pan Electric Co. and was one of its first organizers, It was started to introduce Roger’s invention and is an honorable company. - I know noth- ing further about the matter, but Solici- tor General Goode was Attorney General in my absence and perhaps he can give the desired information. “On the 27th of August Attorney Gen- eral Garland left Washington,” said Mr. Goode, “leaving me in charge of the De- partment. Several days after there came to me in the regular course of business, a communication fron Mr. McCorry, the {| United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, requesting permis- sion to use the name of the United States in a suit to be brought in that district to vacate and annul the Bell telephone pat- ent. Several affidavits accompanied this communication, charging that the patent had been obtained by false suggestion, concealment of facts and collusion with an Examiner of patents by the name of Wilbur. After an examination of the pa- pers submitted I became thoroughly sat- isfied that a prima facie case had been made for the vacation of the patent, and, inasmuch as the matter could only be tested in the courts by a suit in the name of the United States, I granted the de- sired permission. The Supreme Court had repeatedly shown that a patent can only be annuled by the head of the Departinent of Justice. Mr. Garland never in any way mentioned the matter to me, and had no knowledge whatever of the action taken by me. If any mistake has been comunit- ted I assume the whole responsibility,” Before leaving the Attorney General’s office I learned positively that the state- ment made by Senator Hoarin his speech before the Springfield Convention that every faithful servant of the Department of Justice, from the law-clerks down to the char-women, have been removed in violation of the Civil Service Laws is not true, No less than forty-seven old eim- ployes of the office have been retained, while the removals number eleven, and they were confidential positions. A number of prominent New York De- mocrats were at the White House yester- day and had a long talk with the Presi- dent. They expressed themselves as well satisfied with the interview. Their object was to denounce the Mugwumps and to persuade the President to give them the cold shoulder. They told the President he had gone quite far enough in his con- cessions to the Mugwumps, that they could not be depended on, and that he should make no further efforts to please them. They argued that the appoint- ments thus far made in the State of New York were not a source of strength to the party. The President listened very faithfully to thearguments of his New York friends. He is willing to do all he can, but he still adheres to his resolution to not directly interfere. He says he will not make ap- pointments forthe mere purpose of af- fecting election results. It was inferred from what he said, however, that he no longer had a warm corner in his heart for the Mugwumps, and that the appoint- ments of the future would be more en- couraging to the Democrats than in the past, —— +. County Commissioners, The full Board met last Monday and the following is their action in brief: One case, each, was returned by Capt. John Beard and D. L. Bringle, of tax- es collected on warrants against delin- quents, amounting to $5.25. License for retailing liquors, in Salis- bury, north corner of Lee and Council streets, was granted to H. E. Nail. Allowances were made from the county pauper fund for the benefit of outside poor, amounting $27. A. M. Brown, keeper, reported an average of 25 paupers at the poor- house during September. . It was ordered that W. L. Kluttz, Esq., be authorized to draw up specifi- cations and receive bids for ene a house on the County Poor House lands —size 18x36 with an L 14x25 feet. Ordered that the Board of Health be instructed to examine all prisoners to be sent from this county to the Peni- tentiary, and furnish the Board of Di- rectors thereof a descriptive list of each prisoner so examined.

The Deputy told him that he was charged with murdering one of his comrads, some time since, and he thought, as he was paying for one, he could pay for the whole thing at once. But Mr. 8. refused to do this; whereupon Mr. Deputy seized his muleand wagon as security in the murder case. Mr. Malloy, in the mean time had been advised to take to the woods before they kidnapped what little he had; so he bowed to the Judge and jug and took his departure at the rate of one mile a minute; but was not sly enough to keep from being caught next day. I think the judge got ahout $25 in money, five gallons of rot gut whis- key and courted the old woman and the girl both; and then announced that court would adjourn to meet next morning at nine o'clock.

God kissed the pure spirit home. The rainbow of Faith and Hope spans the tomb, dispelling its shadows, and lighting with its radiance the shore be- yond where we all may meet and part never more. May the God of all grace administer that consolation which alone can assuage this deep grief. J. FF. ALDERSON Pastor, MESQUITE Sept. 26th 1885. TRIBUTE. At a meeting of the board of deacons of of Third Creek church, held the 4th of October, 1885, the following resolutions were adopied : WHEREAS, God in his most wise provi- dence has called away from the world, John Giles Fleming, our beloved co-work- er, and for a number of years the honored and esteemed Chairman of our body, be it resolved I, That we, the Deacons of Third Creek church, recognize the hand of God in this dispensation of his provi- dence, and that we look to Him for grace that we may bow in meek submission to His holy will.

FirE aT FrRANKLIN.—On last Sun- day evening, about two o'clock, Widow Thomason’s house, at the village of Zeb (Franklin) this County, was discovered to be on tire. The house was occupied by tenants, and it is su posed that the fire originated from a spark left in the broom after sweeping the hearth. The house was a good dwelling, and its contents were almost entirely destroyed. Three bales of cotton, besides the clothmg and pro- visions of the tenants, are included in the loss, Ix view of the large trade expected here this fall and winter, it behooves the business men, who expect to profit by it, to bestir themselves concerning the condition of the various public roads leading into Salisbury. It is a question which concerns, and is of vital importance to every citizen of the town. and some steps should be taken imme- diately, while the weather is favora- ble, looking to the improvement of these thoroughfares. The columns of the WatTCHMAN are open to sugges- tions on this subject. Jim Harris—a faithful old negro, died at China Grove, this County, last week, aged 59 years. Jim went to work on the North Carolina railroad when it was being graded and he re- mained in the employ of the Company from that time up to his death. All of his hfe, except perhaps, six months, was spent at China Grove. He was a faithful old negro; his life of labor and devotion to duty is a most fitting ex- ample to his fellow negroes, and )should be held up to the rising genera- tion for imitation, Or Vatvgz To Tax-Payers—D. R Julian, C. B. C., calls the reporter's at- tention to the action of the Board of Town Commissioner at a called meet- ing, held on last Friday. It was order- ed that “all persons who failed to list taxes for 1885, would be relieved of double tax—penalty for not listing— hy calling on G. H. Shaver, City Tax Collector, on or before the Ist day of December, 55, and paying a single tax.” This is an exceedingly generous thing. and it is the first time, to the writer's knowledge, of its being done. Those who were absent, or from other cause failed to list, should jump at this offer. Get Bill Boards. It is @ common practice to bedanb shade trees, lamp posts, well frames and other public property in town, with posters of every description. Pri- vate property too, 1s, in many instances, abused in the same manner without permission from the owners. It gives the town a ragged and a-don't-care- appearance. <A spetacle similar to that presented at a cross roads country store. The Seales in front of Kluttz’s Drug Store looks more hke a junk shop than anything else. There should be an ordinance prohibiting the posting of such matter any where except on bill boards—which should be made for the purpose and placed at public places in town. It would pay an_ enter- prising boy to look after such work. _ —_— Cotton Trade. Trade in cotton has been brisk here this week, and the best prices have been paid—as a rule a small advance on prices in neighboring towns. Mr. J. D. McNeely has been doing 3 cotton this an actiye business im week. Knox & Co., have also been buy- ing. Mr. J. D. Gaskill seems to be taking the lead in cotton. He is prepared to handle ten thousand bales this season. He has also taken the precaution to provide a special warehouse for storing cotton bagging and ties, for supplying ginners. Several car loads of bagging and ties have arrived, and more is en route. Mr. J. F. Ross, the popular and en- prising cotton buyer, has arrived and will be a buyer here this season. He goes into the trade with a host of friends—he was always a favorite— and is prepared to buy more cotton than he has ever handled in one season, Lecture on China. Dr. John Davis, returned mission from China, addressed a large sadisdie at the Presbyterian church last Tues- day night on China, her past history and present condition; her relative size and importance; habits and pecu- liarities of the people; her architectural works, the morals, and religion of her people, &, &. It was one of the most interesting and satisfactory lec- tures . we have ever heard from a re- turned missionary from any country; and the lecturer held his audience spell- bound for nearly two hours. The lec- ture was cl once by the L. M. doxology, and the benediction; but nearly the entire congregation resum- ed their seats and the lecturer took u fragmentary subjects and sy rersane them an hour longer. The congrega- tion was made up mostly of christian eople, members of the Methodist, utheran, Baptist and Presbyterian churches, (the presence of the Bishop holding services prevented the Episco- pal congregation from ent aes the pastor of these several denominations aving seats near the lecturer, and evidently feeling deeply interested in the good news brought to them from a far country. —————~_ >. Tobacco Items. HANKINS & Son are hauling the ma- ‘terial for their “Iron Sides” Tobacco Warehouse. JERUSALEM township, Davie co., boasts of the largest tobacco crop ever raised in that section. Mr. Charles, a mer- chant there says it is twice as large as any previous crop. Remember that Salisbury offers as good prices as are paid anywhere, and is nearer than any other market. THomason & Swink are pushing their Tobacco Warehouse to rapid completion. It will be completed in ten days or two weeks. It is 50x120 feet. - TAKE it all in all, Mr. Robt. Gobble has exhibited the finest tobacco that has been handed around this season. Mr. G. has had considerable experience in the culture of tobacco, and under- stands thoroughly the methods of cur- ing—hence the splendid result. Beat, Bost & Foarp have been doing as much business as the season will admit—breaks nearly every day. Rumors regarding the “big” prices paid at other points has stirred them up. _They have sent an expert around to the neighboring markets to “spy out the land,” and he reports that the rprices here in Salisbury are a shade higher than in any market in this sec- tion. They also expect a lot of specu- lators and “order buyers” here as soon as the season is a little further advan- ced. Heretofore the irregularity of breaks has deprived the market of the stimulous of this class of bidders; but the increased business has enticed them. Prospects for the fall are most flattering to both farmers and warehousemen. Among the Merchants. Mr. W. C. Lindsay has just returned from New York, where he has been laying in a stock of goods for the firm of MERONEY & BRO. He says he bought the largest stock this year that he has ever purchased, and he brags on his line of “tricots” aud ‘“camels-hair” and other dress goods, including black silks, cassimeres &c. He also mentions a fine line of ladies and children’s wraps. Mr. W. L. Kluttz, of the firm of KLUTTZ & RENDLKMAN, has also returned from the northern markets, and is now receiving the largest and most satisfactory stock ever opened by the firm. It includes a complete line of general dry goods, fine groceries; shoes and clothing de- partments increased to meet the de- mands of their growing trade. Special attention was given to the crockery and glassware department. His line of fine table wares will be unexcelled on this market. JOHN D. GASKILL’S entire force, which by the way has been increased recently, is engaged in arranging a splendid stock of goods— no better was ever brought here—and he saysthat he has madea special feature of clothing and hats. His stock is larger than usual and he says that “he desires comparison; for if they compare goods and prices, I will get the trade.” He also has his usual line of guanos for wheat and tobacco. Special arrangements have been made to meet the demands of the job- bing trade--to country merchants—and he is prepared to save money to all mer- chants who trade with him; in fact, he is prepared to doa _ general wholesale trade. “Take tobacco, for instance; I am selling manufactured tobacco at from one totwo cents lesson the pound than can be bought elsewhere, and then I save all the freight to the purchaser.” The tobacco is the best home manufactured pluy and twist. The advertisements of the above en-|8 terprising houses will appear soon. LIST OF LETTERS, List OF LETTERS remaining in the Post Office at Salisbury, N.

Work Suspended, Supt. en of the Shuford placer mine, in Catawba county, has gone to New York. Work has been suspended until his return, which will be in 30 days. Looking after Mines. Mr. H. G. Tyson, of Baltimore, has been in Salisbury for several days. He has been engaged in examining some gold and copper properties in Rowan. He has returned to Baltimore to re- port results. The Rudisill Mine Again. Mr. Frank Williams of the Gold Knob mines, Rowan county, has bought a half interest in Superintendent Dunn’s lease. The Lease allows them to mine and sell the ore. Mr. Williams has gone to Boston on mining business, Looking Around Mr. E. W. Hovey, one of Charlotte's enterprising mining men, was here this week. He ison the lookout for something good. He has a most ex- cellent auriferous and argentiferous galena property in Union County. He has placed a specimen in the Watcu- MAN cabinet, i Two New Discoveries in Rowan. Specimens from two hitherto unmen- tioned localities in this County have been sent tothe WartcHMan cabinet and identified. One isa sulphide of iron in quartz matrix from the farm of Robt. Deaton, in the western part of the County, and the other is from the farm of Mr. Samuel Eller in Provideuce Township, near the Yadkin river. It is a fine brown ore, showing free gold, is from the surface and will run into heavy sulphurets at a shal- low depth. a Long Creek Mine. The old Long Creek mine in Gaston county is being opened up again by some gentlemen from the North. The property :s well known, and has been a famous producer in days gone by, but the days of °61-’6d left it like many others, deserted. Now it is being cleared under the active and intelli- gent superintendence of Mr. J. M. Williams. It is purely a private work; no stock company or other corporation backing the gentlemen. So much the more reliable for that. The ore is sulphide of iron in quartz. Smelting Works. From a highly official and reliable source, the information comes of the quiet investigation. of capitalists into the feasibility of building smelting and reduction works here, thus affording a home market for all refractory ores. As soon as the movement assumes more definite shape the facts will be given to the public. The WatcHMan: has been advocating thisstep as a last resort for the highly refractory ores of this section, for several years, and hails this movement with _pleas- ure. eS ae The Barringer Mine. This property has just been released from an awkward suit. It is located in Stanly county, about four miles from the famous Gold Hill mines in Rowan. The ore carries only a small percents? of auriferous Fe. Sulphide, nut is exceedingly rich in free gold. Seams half an inch thick of pure gold have been taken out, and had it not been for the unfortunate litigation would have been producing today. It is the property of the Barringer Gold Mining Counpany, of which Col. Sam- uel Truscott, of Ohio, is president, and Theo. F. Kluttz; Esq., of Salisbury, N. C., 18 vice-president. There are but three stockholders. It is hoped that the parties will go to work in the development of the property, since it is one whose outlook is most flattering for financial success. —_——____~a >. Gem Mining. Mr. W. E. Hidden, Mineralogist has been engaged in mining for gems in Alexander county, this summer. Since the 26th of July he has had from twelve to fifteen hands at work on the Emerald and Hiddenine Mining Co’s. lands, and on the land adjoining, now owned by Mrs. A. KE. Morton, of Newark, N. J. He has had success at both localities; on the Co’s. lands has been found four fine emeralds within the last two weeks, and on the Morton land he has found, upto date, nine new pockets of hiddenite. Of the emeralds referred to, the largest was one and nine sixteenth inches long, and seven sixteenths of an inch in diameter. Its color was excel- lent for its size. Of the hiddenite found, about an ounce was of superior color, but suitable only for small gems. Mr. Hidden has found immense numbers of fine modified quartz erys- tals—many of them beauties.

When answered in the affirmative, he said he could not do it; that he was willin to make a fair return. but would not Swear toit, and that he would not swear to alie,as he and every other man would do, if they swore they gave it allin.

I wastreated by some of the best physicians in Atlanta. They used the old remedies of Mercury and Potash, which brought on rheumatism and impaired my digestive organs, Every joint in me was swollen and full of pain, When I was. given up to die, my physi- cians thought it would be a good time to test the virtue of Swift’s Specific. When I commenced taking 8.8. 8. the physi- cian said I could not live two weeks un- der the ordinary treatment. He com- menced to give me the medicine strictly according to directions, which I eontinued for several months. I took nothing else, and commenced to improve from the very first. Soon the rheumatism left me, my appetite became all right, and the ulcers, which the doctor said were the most frightful he had ever seen, began to heal, and by the first of October, 1884, I was awell man again. I am_ stronger now than IJ ever was before, and weigh more. 8. 8. 8. has saved me from an early grave.

In April, 1884, there appearaed on my feet and legs what the doctors called Salt Rheum, which produced intense suffering. I tried a great many remedies, and had tlic attention of one of our best physicians, but received no permanent relief. The dis- ease continued to grow worse and my limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finally induced to try Swift’s Specific, and after. taking four bottles relief came. I contin-| ued, however, until I had taken seven) bottles, and am now sound and well, and | not a sign of the disease left. My general, health has greatly improved, and I most) cheerfully recommend 8. 8. 8. as being the, best blood purifier that I have ever known. Mrs. M. 8. Highsmith, Lulaton, Wayne Co.. Ga.

I have been afflicted with Scrofula from my infancy, and in consequence have al- ways been a frail and delicate creature. I might truthfully say that I «was raised chiefly on mercury and potash. These remedies for the time being would dry up the fearful ulcers, with which I suffered, but they would return with greater vio- lence. I was the merest shadow as to form aud person. My digestion was ail deranged and my existence was most wretched. Everything that could be done, but no permanent benctit was derived. At last a great tumor came on my neck below the left ear. It increased in size until my head was forced tothe right shoulder and in this ungainly and uncomfortable position, [was compelled to carry my head. The docters decided that it was there to stay as long as life continued, and for many years it did remain. In March, 1884, at the suggestion of Colonel John Traylor I was induced to try Swilt’s Specific. My system responded to the medicine prompt ly, and I began to improve from almost the first bottle. That fearful tumor has all disappeared, and every appearance of the disease has left my person except a small hard Jump onthe right side of my neck. and that 13 disappearing rapidly. Froma fragile little girl Ihave developed into as healthy and robust young lady as there is In the neighborhood, Swift's Specific is the only remedy that has ever given me any permanent relief, and Iam_ in better health and weigh more than I ever did in my life before. My old friends scarcely recognize me since this wonderful change has been wrought in my appearance, Ay gratitude is unbounded fer what this medicine has done for me. MISS TOMMIE EMBRY.

They continued to grow, and finally de- veloped into whatthe doctors called can— cer of the breast. In a short time I found my strength gone and my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Stve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least. and finally agreeing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by this time was eat- ing out my very life, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift’s Spectfic. The first influence of the medtcine was to increase the discharge, but after a moath or more I began to improve, and this won—- derful medicine has brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, lam perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person attogether. I can not feel too grateful for this wonderful re- covery, for I am satisfied if it had not been for Swift’s Specific I would have been in my grave to-day. I most cheerfully rec- omm:nd it to all those who are suffering with this fearful disease. Mrs. JANE CLEMONS. Atlanta, Ga., April 16, 1885. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.

A Jewish journalist of New York, Mr. Benjamin Levi, predicts that his people will be restored to their ancient herita, in Palestine and at no distant day. He says the Jews are almost ready for it now in the temporal sense. In most countries they have equal rights and privileges: They own and dispose of their own pro- ete and come and go when they please. hen their burdens in Russia, Poland and some parts of Germany are removed they will be ready to turn their faccs toward the land of their fathers. In the time of Solomon Palestine was the garden spot of the world. Under good govern- ment it could be restored to its former productiveness. Mr. Levi believes that his race are still the favored children of the Most High. They preserve their na- tional identity in every land. Some day they will be gathered home. Jerusalem mil be rebuilt on a splendid scale. It will become the capital of the world and the seat of power of the Messiah, who will remain for 1,000 years the acknow]l- edged sovereign of mankind. Then there will be but one nation, one ruler and one language. The confederation ofthe human race will be complete.— News-Observer. <> The Alphabet of Success. Attend to your business.

HL L O T H V H O AH L | | Tukes a Hand in the Ohio Election Campaign, and Talks Like a Pa- triotp—He Defends the South, and Flurls Sherman’s Base Insinuations buck into his Teeth. To1Epo, O., Oct. 6.—Ex-Senator here tonight, and gavea great por- tion of his time in reply to recent speeches of Senator Sherman. Judge Thurman, atthe beginvigg of his speech, said the Mouut Gilead speech of Senator Sherman made at tlie open- ing of the campaign, was an indiet- the charges of crime an@ outrages made in years gone by. ‘ He quoted opposition to a revival of sectional /hatred. The last Presidential cam- paign was opened by Republican candidates on the tariff as the chief issue, but before the campaign closed this was decapitated and the “bloody shirt” raised as the banner of certain Republican victory, but when the | votes were counted the banner was ‘found to be trailing in the dust. Par- |Ucular stress was laid upon the sen- iments of Gen, Grant, that the pas- sions of the war were at an end, and winazement was expressed that a man speaking over his tomb should be so uudacious as to say there is no recon- ciliation, that rebellion is not at an suppress it is to again send the “Boys in Blue”? to the South, from Senator Sherman’s speaker said; Now, it is impossible, us it seems to me, to misunderstand these utterances, They are either vain and empty declarations, or dis- gusting bravads, such as no man of the ability of Senator Sherman er one eecupying his high station could in- dulve in without disgrace; or they are his real sentiments, and mean, speech the }when thoroughly analyzed. that if )the Republican party cannot obtain power in any other way, it shall ob- tain and hold it by the sword, I kuow that such an idea, if you do bot reflect upon it, is calculated to excite your derision. But stop and reflect. If the great State of Ohio can be carried by such appeal to passion and prejudiceas Sherman is making; if his weapons shall be sufficient to thrust from office the man whom two years ago, you elected; if they shall hew the way to the fifth term in the Senate for their author,—they will become the ereed of the Republican party in 788, and the doctrine of hate will be strongly if not permanently established in the land.” Judge Tharman said the issue rais- ed by Sherman is a dangerous one to the business and prosperity of the American people, and the effort to blow into a flame the dying embers of civil strife should be frowned down by all loyal people. The speaker next proceeded to an- swer the arguments of Sherman con- cerning the grievous condition of the colored race in the Seuth, claiming that they were now in the enjoyment of greater prosperity and greater civil rights than were ever enjoyed on this glode by an equal number of their race. that section from 1875, when the Democrats came into control, and radical rule and carpet bag govern- ments were closed, ten years itcan be safely affirmed that there is not an industry ia the Seuth but which is more prosperous than it ever was in that region be- fore, until now they have, in many lines eof manufacture, become the ri- vals of mills of the Eastern States, The speaker sketched briefly many enterprises In the development of the Seuth, the free schools fur the color- ed youth, the contentment which ex- ists among the colored people, and the fact that they have not migrated to any of theold free States. All this, it was argued, proves that they were not discontented nor murdered nor deprived of their rights, as de- picted by Senator Sherman and other Republican orators. The colored man seetucd to prefer living with the white men of the Suuth, even though they be Democrats, to dwelling in theftents of radicals, even though they be saints. It was argued that all these things could not be so if the negroes south were ina state of wretcheduess; which has been so of- ten asserted, Judge Thurman qucted at length from the tenth census of 1880, statis- tics in proof of fhe assertion which he had made, the principal point be- ing that the colored people are ina majority in’ but two of the southern States, South Carolina and Mississip- pi, and he confined his argument to the census of these two States. The object of these figures is to show the depression in all values in periods covered by Republican’ rule and the advauce of all material interests made under Democratic government. AF ter disposing of a wilderness of fig- ures in regard to the condition of up by saying: In short, everything Allen G.

Ounce more, I put it to you: Could in the lawless condition that - radical speakers represent it to be. Not much, fellow citizens. This eon- tinued stream of prosperity under Democratic rule proves that the rule is beneficent, and the qaiet that pre- vails in that State proves that the people of all classes there are conteu- ted under their government. Judge Thurman denies the assumption of Senator Sherman that all the colored votes in the South are Repnblicans, would vote that ticket if not terror- ized. He said: “If it were true, it would be a serious question whether a people go servile and cowardly are tto exercise the elective franchise. But for one, I do not believe that they are soutterly debased. I be- Tieve that, having a good reason fur hot voting the Republican ticket, they abstain from doing so in great numbers,’ or vote the Democratic ticket. I know very well that under the manipulation of the freedmens’ bureau soon after the war, the color- ed people of the South were to a great extent drawn .into the Republican (so called) Union League, and were taught to believe that if the Demo- cratic partly succeed they would be once more reduced to slavery. I do not deny that a great effect was produ- ced upon their minds by these false pretences, but we have good cause to believe that year by year these false impressions have grown weaker and the negroes have, to a great de- gree, learned the truth. A ERT Siw The American Craze in London. Charleston News & Courier. I was surprised to find everywhere in London the American craze so prev- alent. ‘The Yankee is much more re- spected in England than he may im- magine, and by “Yankee” the Eng- lishmao means all citizens of the Uni- ted States, for he knows no antiquat- ed distinction between the North and South, The Englishman shaved him- selfat home until the craze for the American barbar shop struck London, but now no Londoner is fashionable unless he patronizes the American barbers. Yet even now such a tonso- rial palace as may be seen in New York would astonish all ‘London. The barbers’ chairs here are little, cramped things, in which it is im pos- sible to stretch out at one’s ease, American bars, too, are fashionable, alas!—and mixed American drinks take the place of the Englishman’s ’alf-and~alf among the fashionables. American ice cream, American con- fectionery, American restaurants, American trunks and satchels, Amer- ican watches, clocks, cutlery and sew- ing machines are sold in great quan- tities all over London. In fact, there is scarcely an article of distinctly American manufacture that is not sold extensively in Lendon—not even excepting the American himself—and many a Yankee thinks he is striking an Knglish bargain when he pays five or six shillings tor what he could have bought at home for a dollar. He Was Just Too Awful. “Your beau seems very bashful,” said a Dayton avenue mamma to her daughter. “Bashfull’” echeed the daughter; “bashful’s uo name for it.” “Why don’t you encourage hima little more?

Why, only last night, when I sat all alone on the sofa and he perch- ed up ina chair as far away as he could get, I asked him if he didu’t think it strange that a man’s arm and a woman’s waist seemed always to be the same length; and what do you think he did?” “Why, just what any sensible man would have done—tried it.” “f1e asked meif I could find a piece of string so we could measure und see ifit was so, Ain’t he horrid?” —St Puul Herald.

New York Sun. An old Pe Gren which had been lying in a Chicage!lnsement for five years or more was dusted off the other evening and placed on a table in the midst of a select g thering of politicians. No sooner «jd the crank bogin to turn than a vore from the phonograph shouted: “have robbed the people, plua- dered the Treasury, and sangks by every possible means to! everthrow our system ef governmen” The politicians looked at one an- other ina sad, sad way, and the crank ground out: “deceived the people in every promise for ihe Inst ‘fly years, and betrayed every {rsi *qosed_ in it! Honest government! Can conyieted thieves be trusted with the keys of the Treasury?” Tears started to the eyes of every man in the room, and several heads were bowed as the machine splutter- ed away: “—precipitated a bloody war—blood and treasure—party of assassins—hung fur treasons—solid South—land of traitors—saved_ this glorious republic !” Silently the politicians reached out and grasped another’s hands, while their tears flowed some more, and the ends of their noses grew red, “The bloated ‘boudholders,” con- tinued the phonograph, “life blood of the people—sapping the foundations of liberty—the nigger the equal of the white man—bastiles in which our brother languish—hy poc- rasy —perjury—fraud—eall upon the freemen of Ameaica—liberty or death coming campaign—or become slaves forever!” The heads of six politicians fell upon the shoulders of six others, and the rumble of the grip carson the street below was drowned by subs und sighs. It was s-a-d, « condemned from their own mouths!” howled the phonograph as the crank was turned again. “Let us analyze a single administration—a thousand sincures—rebellion—consti- tution under foot—those arch-traitors —fire in the rear—resistance to the laws of the country—ever buried in disgrace with infamy!” “Tiar!” “Villian!” “Thief!” “Assassin!” “Robber!” “Cresar!” “Tndian ring !” “Whiskey ring!” “Carpet-bagyer!”” “Copperhead!” “Rebel !” “Bulldezer!” Then there was silence. By and by, while the tears trickled down his nose, and his throat was choked with emotion, a gray headed politician arose, and said: “Gentlemen, our object in meeting here this evening was to originate some new lies and inveut new issues for the next eampaign. We can’t do it! There is nothing to be invented! There ig no new form of ubuse. There will be no need of orators or oratory. These machines---cuss the inveptor--- will tell itall! We are out of a job and a hard winter coming on!’ Then they kicked the phonograph down stairs, sinanshed the motto of “Our Glurious Country,” and car- ried a reselution to adjourn indefi- nitely, Sherman’s Threat, John Sherman says that so far from changing his position in the mat- ter of the bloody-shirt that he meaus to keep shaking it as long as there is an unrepented rebel in the South, or words to that effect.

Some times I work for der gas sompsnice, but oftener for plumb- ers.” “Get good wages?” “So gu that my family never has enough to eat, let alone buying decent clothes. If it wasn’t for ie wife and children, I'd wish for that street. car to run over me.” Why didn’t you learn a trade?” “Because nobody had interest enough to.argue and reason with me. I might have had a good trade and good wages, but here I am, working harder for $8 or $9 a week than many a man does to earn $18.” And now, my boy, if men tell you that the trades are crowded, and that so many carpenters, blacksmiths, and painters, and shoemakers, and other trades keep wages down, pay no atten- tion to such talk. Compare the wages of common and skilled workmen. Take the trade which yon seem fitted for. Begin with a determination to learn it thoroughly, and to become the best workman in the shop.

Eatables on Ocean Steamers. Few persons are aware of the exten- sive nature of the victualing on board the great ocean steamers. Such a ves- sel is provisioned as follows for the pas- sengers and crew: 3,500 lbs. of butter, 3,000 hams, 1,600 Ibs. of biscuits, ex- clusive of those supplied for the crew, 8,000 Ibs. of grapes, almonds, figs, and other dessert fruits; 1,500 Ibs. of jams and jellies; tinned meats, 6,000 Ibs.; dried beans, 3,000 Ibs.; rice, 3,000 lbs.; onion, 5,000 lbs.; potatoes, 40 tons; flour, 300 barrels; and egg, 1,200 dozen. Fresh vegetables,.dead meat and live bullocks, sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks, fowls, fish, and casual game are generally supplied at each port, so that it is ditHcult to estimate them. Proba- bly two dozen bullocks and 60 sheep would be a fair average for the whole voyage, and the rest may be inferred in proportion. During the summer months when traveling is heavy, 25 fowls are often used in soup for a single voyage. Fesling Hurried. Probably nothing tires one so much as feeling hurried. Then, in the early morning, the day’s affairs press on one's attention beforehand, and there comes the wonder how in the world every- thing is to be accomplished—when any interrupption is received impatiently, and the clock is watched in distress as its moments flit past—then the mind tires the body. e are wrong to drive ourselves with whip and _ spur in this way. Each of us is promised strength for the day, and we must not wear our- selves out. If only we can keep cool and calm, we shall be less wearied when we have reached the eventide. The children may be fractious, the servants trying, the tren we love may fail us, the letter we expect may not arrive; but if we can preserve our tranquility of soul and demeanor, we shall get through everything creditably.

[From Our Regalar Correspondent. ] WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 1885. Those unacquainted with the arcana of Washington social and official life can hardly realize the importance of the re- cent order of the Secretary of War. The order is in substance that all Army offi- cers who have been for four years on de- tached service must return to their regi- ments. Detached service is nominally some light duty at Washington, in the War Department, at Fort Monroe, or as acting aids to a score of generals with- out commands in time of peace. In other words detached duty is about the lightest work, and the most delightful play that perfumed dogs (pups) of war ever indulged in. For years and years they have remained bere in Washington the admired and petted of the ladies of the West End, the indulged to ruin of tailors, resteraunters, and washerwomen. The trumpet call of the Secretary of War has fallen on their ears like the knell of doom. To change their base from Penn- sylvania avenue to New Mexico or Idaho is like banishment to Siberia. But the wailing and consternation occasioned by the Secretary’s order is not confined to the club rooms. These young gentlemen so long detached from legitimate military service have made strong attachments elsewhere, and the departure for the frontier will leave avoid in the social world of Washington. The drawing rooms and boudoirs of the West end will blend in grief with the unpaid washer- women over the departure of these young oflicers of the Army. For awhile it was hoped that their hitherto patent social and political influ- ence would avail them, and cause the Secretary of War to relax his cruel order, at least in special cases. Division and department commanders argued that the Secretary of War had signed the order without giving it any personal considera- tion, and that therefore a simple request, carrying both official and personal influ- ence for individual exceptions, would have the desired etfect. Laboring under this impresssion Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Schofield, Gen. Pope and Gen. Howard all requested the Secretary of War to make exceptions to the order in the cases of their personal aids. They were mis- taken in the premires of their argument. Secretary Endicott had been personally ecnsidering the matter from the time he became Sceretary of War, and when the time for issuing the order arrived he had mastered all the details and was entirely cognizant of what its effect would be. 3esides the attention of the President had been called to the matter, and it had met with his unqualified approval. The protests and requcsts were alike unavail- ing, for the Secretary did not intend backing down. He has set his foot down, and yesterday refused to make an excep- tion in every one of the individual cases brought to his attention. As siated, the Secretary of War was fully aware of the citect of the order, and he knew just where it would strike, but was firmin his purpose. He evidently knew of the special duty abuse before he took his seat in the Cabinet, and after- wards his experience as a lawyer led him to make thorough investigation before acting. He visited the headquarters of various divisions and departments, saw the officers whom the order would detach from staff duty, and compared them with the officers who were always with their regiments, and could see ata glance the difference between them. He saw that staff duty too long continued had a de- moralizing effect in unfitting officers for field duty and depriving them of all in- terest in their regiments. He held that the staif was meant for the line, not the line for the staff, and if line was to suffer for the sake of making it pleasant for the staff, the should be remedied. Hence the order and his firm intention to stick to. it. While the Secretary's erder is heavily felt in military and social circles here, it must be approved by the country at large, and by every officer who has the instincis of aman anda soldier.

He says the last census shows this—that in Mississippi nearly half of the cotton raised in the State was grown without the aid of color- ed labor. He is reported as saying in the New Orleans States: “White men and white women and children now go into the fields and work. And with so much better results that cot- ton growers are becoming very much en- couraged in the thought that they are no longer compelled to be dependent on such an unreliable class of labor as the blacks. A curious fact mentioned by Mr. Manning in that connection is that comparing the yield of cotton on ground worked by the whites, itis found that the ground worked by the whites vields twenty-five per cent. more than that worked by the negroes. Of course the difference is that the whites cultivate it more thoroughly.” Now these opinions are worth soime- thing, for they are the opinions of South- ern men who have been reared among negroes, know their habits, understand their character, and have no unkind feel- ings for them. When a Northern man undertakes to discuss the nogro in any of his relations wre are sure he will make a botch of it, because he writes from im- perfect knowledge. The truth is, the Northern politicians, editors and authors know but little of the South orits people, white or colored. The South is. still almost to them ferra incognita. They know almost as much of the north pole as they do ofnegro character, life, habits, &c. They take their ideas from such works as “Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ and Tour- gee’s political and sectional novels, and from the burnt-cork “‘gentry” who play the negro on the boards of certain New York theatres. But is negro labor as unreliable in North Carolina as it is found to bein Georgia and Mississippi? The negro fs im- provident and lazy and imitative and de- voted to fun and holidays. If the country darkey, under the changed order of things, as much of an idler as the town darkey | then it is not hard to understand why the |results in Mississippi are as described by Mr. Manning. The tobacco factory is the best school-house we have ever seen for giving the negroes lessons in regularity, industry and “so.” In spite of all draw- backs we are much inclined to stand by negro labor. It is probably the best the South will get for a long time to come.-— Wilmington Star. , (Comn nicated.) : On Testing ami Choosing a Piano. I dislike thrusting my personality on the public: but, in this jastance, it is obligato- ry and without option. This obtrusion cannot be made very short but it will be far briefer than ituyght and ought to ve, in yiew of the wantop provocation evolving it. When I and wife went to New York, last July, it was sokly to attend the con- vention of “The Mic Teachers’ National Association:” and -fter that to attend to various matters giving accession of strength to our professional ind tutorial usefulness. Of the many acts and utterances of courte- sy and kindness, aeaped upon us by the very elite of the musical profession,—the high considerationand warmly demonstra- tive friendship of Ym, M. Thoms—editor and proprietor of ike “American Art Jour- nal ’—were more intensely gratifying than that ef all the othe combined. His jour- nal—a weekly—is fie only vehicle of mu- sical news, criticism and trade reviews—in the piano linc—that circulates, as a recog- nized authority, among all the higher grades of the prof¢sion and dilettanti, in all the art centre of Europe—from this country. With thettrade” in this country, his influence is potentia!, because he is su- perlatively intelligent, honorable, truthful and fair in discrimination. He carries ad- vertisements uf allthe reputable manufac-— turers of piangs, steadfastly rejecting those of the fraudulent gass, having an intimate cegnrzance of the working details and bus- incss methods of every firm in the country. After the convention,—iimpelled by a desire to aid me,—he gradually drew outa confession of all the real details of my present hometicld, its inadequacy and my fixed purpose—for divers reasons—of yet remaining there indefinitely. Finding me philosophically resigned and stoically im—- movable, he eageriy proposed, for my adop- tion, several kinds of musical mercantile projects, in which he could put me on the rial income. I emphatically rejected cach in turn, because of my distaste and inapti- tude for mercantile work. gested the sale of pianos; said he would show me the very best make of the kind of piano of the grade in general use and people.--(Meaning “the Holmstrom”). And also, the lately gotten up and only honest piano for the less affluent: and that he had influence to have the prices made to me so low that I would have asmall, but legiti- mate margin of profit, ata cost to the pur- chaser, less than the average travelling agent pays before adding his hundred per cent. profit, by which process they are made “high priced,, In brief, his carnest and kindly importu- nity overcame my reluctance; and he spent much of his valuable time making me and wife acquainted with the heads and aw fait in all the details of the two manufactories, as well as taking me through the intemin- able, mcuntainous buildings,—established by Hale—larcer than all the combined houses in Salisbury, I think, which fur- nishes pianos to the numerous bogus mak- ers—makers who do not make but “let on” like they do,—and where everything is ta- ken from the piano that can be without rendering it utterly worthless and unsalea- ble, even to the reriest novice in suc mat- ters. Holmstrom has the warmesi regards and boundless respect of every piano manufac: turcr and artisan in New York: and that he is iutimately knawn to all is vouched for by the fact that he is the only man in the city wao can draught a scale for piano; and any change of keyboard, in any firm, is put in shape for the artisan, by his head and hand. Meand his partner—James— as well as the President of the Schubert Company—Dufl—are continuously working amongand supervising their men. The “Schubert” piano—only one style—is got- ten up by a compzny of first class artistic, musierl mechanics, to “meet a long felt want’—a thoroughly honest, cheap, three- stringed and overstrung piano, for those who cannot afford to pry for the elaborate carving and finish of the higher priced ones, but its qualities, both in music and gonstruction, are sterling and enduring. I do not—will not—"push” these pianos, nor intermeddle with the operations of the travelling venders: but when any of these latter leave their track and collide with me on mine, impugning my honor, veracity and professional capacity, I must defend them: Ihave a higher regard for them than for money. A Jady has boughi the only “Holmstrom” T nave yet brought here. The gentleman who lives in Winchester, Va., and lives on the profits accruing from an occasional sale of a Kn ibe piano, went to that lady’s house, last week, to inspect (¢) the piano, and at once seated himself before it and made his few peculiar and only passes at its keyboard, Northing wrong in that, but there was in his promptly uttered and unsought opinion (/) that; “It has a pretty good tone for a cheap piiiio,”—meaning an inferior one, for be continued, “but no one ought to buy a cheap piano.” His next shot was, “but the tone is better than the action: that is very bad:” and so he con- tinued to detract from every point, a very reprehensible proceeding; for the lady be- ing now the owner of the piane, the intent of his gratuitous disparagement, yoiced in oracular tone, was simply to pain her. For- tunately, the lady has abundace of good sense, by which she clearly read his mo- tives. So I might have treated this matter with the silence of intense coutempt; but it was really a declaration of war against my judgment and the purses of those who are likely to need pianos, His next remark, “T never heard of [folmstrom,” so toned as to imply that that maker was nobody. The lady spuke, “He mist be well known, for Mr. Thoms commended him as the best.” But be buried Thoms also by a sententious, “T never heard of “him either.” The man foolishly overreached himself in thus vol- notable factors in his own line of business. I give only one more remark, not because of its impertinent assumption, but as a text to base a few suggestions on, of much advantage to those who would, intelligent- ly, test a piano. He said: “I suppose Mrs. Neave—like all who have taught music for years,—has lost practice and can’t play tone and touch sufficiently.” Having ‘“sup- posed,” he will doubtlessly—as defamers usually do—soon assert invidiously. I must here say, that no one, of real musical na- ture, who was early trained to read music correctly and fluently, ever leses their prac- tice. or gaslight, and gave her much inconveni- ence even in daylight; but after the work read music so fluently, and execute so cor- max of stolid mendacity. any part of a musician. inside track, and, by the fair profits, of which, I could thicken my very thin tuto— Lastly, he sug- demand by the substantial middle class of untary uncovering his pitiable ignorance of much, and therefore was not able to test For seme recent years, my wife’s abused eyesight and unsuitable glasses, unfittad her to see music clearly by lamp of the oculist and eptician in Philadelphia, last June, dene prior to our visiting New York, her eyesight is bettcr than it bas ever been; and I have known but few that rectly—at sight—as she can. {But that such a man should utter such an invidious sur- mise, and in such connection, caps the cli- A man who,— whatever he was before he became an itin- erant vender of pianes—was not, nor is, He can, it is true, strike, awkwardly, a few erude cords and | play simple airs with one finger. He iv confessedly, a miserable 1 tuner, because his musical. perceptions are so obtuse as to make it impossible for him to work out the equal temperament of an octave,-as the indispensible bearings to tune the whole board from! Withsuch au- ricular torpidity, and puerile manipulation, it seems inconceivable that such a musical cripple—nonentity rather—should hold -so self-complacent an underestimate of musi- cal people as to prate authoritatively on the tone and action qualities of pianos! The Knabe-like many other reliable makes of pianos—stands on a long established and well merited reputation: and: people select from tasté, memorics of the past, &c., and I would not, never do say aught against them, even when my opinion is sought. We will now examine his ideathat much finger gymnastics is indispensible to a cor- rect judgment of a piano. The mere play- er can only judge of tone and touch : to ob- tain a correct appreciation of tone, rapid playing is unneeded and may be made det- rimentul; Moreover, the listener can judge fully of the many distinctive attributes of tone,—such as the sympathetic, the sing- ing, the carrying—and other powers, which the mere aequirements in technige give little or no cognition of. Touch—or action can only be tested by the player : but, while rapid, clear-cut execution is requisite to the judgment of some peints, it hinders cognizance in others. The best action for touch, to the great mass of players is neith- nor too ptiant or soft. Again, touch is more arbitrary than tone, and the indexes to what is right—for gen- eral use—are more clearly marked. A fan- cy for a particnlar touch is often begotten © ignorance and conccit. The love of.one style and condemnation of ell others is, very often, but a partiality for what the player has been accustomed to, rather the result of unbiased, intelligent judgment. A good touch—for general use,—is readily discerned, and I will give a few of the main indexes: The blow should be power- ful, ligbt, firm and smooth, not slipping away from under the fingers, but enabling you to retain and control it throughout. The repeat should be rapid and sure, com- bined with a perfect check. The action should be neither deep nor shallow: in the -|former rapid exccution is hindered, in the latter the power of the blow is injured. After testing the notes singly, press down several at the same time: if there are faults in the action, this test bring them vividly out. Very respect fuily, W. H. NEAVE.

May the time soon come when they will have to manage all their schools for themselves—with money to pay expenses gleaned from negro tax payers. Hvmantry as seen through the eyes of arevenue officer isa most selfish and depraved thing. A chat with Mr. Thos. H. Vanderford, U.S. R. Deputy Collector, reveals some of the humor- ous and some of the serious. He tells of one man who refused to swear to his brandy return, saying he had nev- er done so,and that the good book said “Swear not at all”; he was follow- ing this injunction. This conscientious, pious soul was soon convinced that he must swear to the returns and he pro- ceeded to do so. The Deputy discover- ed that he had sworn to several enor- mous lies. He had better not sworn lat all. Blockading, says the Deputy, was practiced more*n Rowan, Cabar- rus, Mecklenburg and Union, than in the mountain counties. This is news to most of the law abiding people of these counties. Sepuction.— The good people of Franklin township, were shocked to learn of the unnatural seduction of Miss Mollie Holden. She was the 15 or 16 year old cousin of the wife of Locke Miller, and was living in the house with the family. Miller has made an assignment fur the benefit of his creditors and fled the country. Miss Hoiden was an_ unfortunate girl in her personal appearance, being blind in one eye and a cripple. There is one thing about Miller that softens just a little his crime—he is said to nave been subject to some kind of fits, and was not of sound mind. It isa sad ease. The imnocent and helpless girl’s life ruined; the good and confi- ding wife's heart broken; the four children left to bear their father’s shame and he fleeing from the gnaw- ings of his conscience and more stern justice. ee The Town Census.

North State Mine. - For want of water, hydraulicing has been discontinued at this mine. Re- sult of hydraulic work not yet re- ported. Winslow Mine Several Englishmen have gone to the Winslow’ miné in Randalph county, with the view of operating it, should their investigations prove satisfactory. Chlorination Works. Mr. Jacobs is running mght along with his chlorination works. He is engaged now on a rather low grade of ore. He does not propose, however, to work the lower grade ores as a rule. Sawyer Mine. “Mr. T. J. Redding has been develop- ing the Sawyer mine with ‘satisfactory results. The property, lying in Ran- dolph, was orcad i a small «way be- fore the war. eee erent om Mica Mining. Conflicting reports concerning the sour reas of mica comes from several ocalities in the western partof the State. Overin the Webster country it is reported that the mines are turn- ing out excellent mica, and that it is not being shipped; while in Mitchell county, mica 1s reported flat in some localities. The Clarke Concentrator. . Mr. A. D. Clarke, the inventor of the “Clarke Concentrator” is just now ona tour through the Southern min- ing fields. He comes highly recom- mended witha really very practical and valuable concentrator for placer mines where “float” and “flour” gold escapes. The machine, simple and du- rable, will handle as much gravel as an ordinary sluice, and do it effectually, saving all the gold. Mr. Clarke is now visiting the mines of the placer dis- tricts of North Carolina. He will go into Stanly, Montgomery, Catawba, Burke and McDowell counties. Mr. Clarke has left with the mining Editora photograph of his machine as in prac- tical operation on South Boulder Creek, Gilpin county, Cal., and those inter- ested are invited to call and see it. Belle Mine. This valuable property, lying in Moore county, has been kept in practi- cal idleness for several years. Develop- ing has been going on, but not ina way to enable the property to yield as it should be doing. tt is a tine, free milling, high grade ore, and should be producing. The trouble has been in the failure of Mr. Lunborg, the pur- chaser, to meet the payments as prom- ised. In fact, he has not made any ex- cept the purchase payment of $8,000, leaving a balance of $14,000 due the original owners. 5. R. Harrison, Esq.., of Salisbury, and Mr. 5. KE. Linton, of Charlotte, are the owners. These gentlemen have instituted proceedings to recover, so that the prospect for the usefulness of the property 1s encourag- ing. The lode in the vein is only 12 to 15 inches in width, but wonderfully rich. The vein proper is about three feet wide. It has been developed to the depth of a hundred and ten or fifteen feet, —__—? ae Southern Minera! Boom. New Orleans Times-Democrat, Oct. 6th. If only to excite avarice enough among Times- Democrat readers to encourage them to efforts connected with the develop- ments of Louisiana’s mineral resources, itisan extremely salutary thing to give them occasional views of the golden pro- gress of mining and metallic industries in neighboring States of the South. The resources peculiar to some of our sister States are not identical with our own, but they are not more important or val- uable, and there should be idendity as to the vigorous enterprise applied to them— enterprise which is rapidly calling up wealth for the people of the Virginias, the Carolinas. Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala- bama and Georgia. Among the Southern mineral districts that have been making brilliant history during the past year, it is superfluous to say that North Carolinais more than honorably numbered. Its remarkable exposition of resources and industrial progress at the World’s Fair bas had the effect to attract a great deal of outside capital to iis forests, mines, fisheries, and so on; and the practical developments re- sulting have added greatly to both the wealth and reputation of the Common- wealth. Some recent memorada in the Balti- more Manufacturers’ Record, from the pen of Mr. T. K. Bruner, who will be remem- bered pleasantly by many of our readers as the courteous and able assistant commis- sioner from North Carolina last winter, are calculated to afford anidea of the current activity of the local interest de- voted to mining the precious metals. Jn addition tothe Haileand Brewer gold mines just over the line in South Caroli- na, both of which are making a regular clean up of large value, Mr. Bruner gives items regarding the work at a number of home mines, and reports a discovery which may be of importance to the fu- ture of the gold mining interest of the section. We states that a very rich, free milling vein has been struck on Little river, in North Carolina. Tho ore is uartz, in talco-argillaceous slate forma- tion, and does not show much free gold to the eye, but produces wonderful re- sults inthe pan. It is worth several hundred dollars per ton, and is perfectly free milling. “The vein is two anda half to three and ahalf feet wide, and has been opened at several places, the deepest being twenty feet, where splendid ore is found.” Montgomery county, where , begin- od, or General Assembly. There is saved from disease and death by the most wonderful ayent, Shriner’s Indian Ve-iviy fuge.

Exposition, It is especially calculated to interest. mining operators from‘Colorado and the Pacific States, who have recently been brought. to.cot e that there may be gold and silver fields east of the Mis- Sissippi quite rich enough to justify their consideration. Moderp engineering and machinery renders any free millin ore, down to a very small percentage of the recious constituent, worth working, and if it should prove that the Little river bonanza is only one of the many equall good prospects in the vicinity, we ead not wonder if there should be a “‘Pike’s Peak” excitement on the basis of it. 2 Edmistonville Dets, EpMISTONVILLE, Rowan Co., N. C., Oct. 10th, 1885. Editor Watchman : I see in your last paper a notice of Mes- srs. Houck, Lipe & Patterson's new cotton gin. Iam glad to inform you we have three new ones within two miles of Edmis- tonville. The one in our little village is run by two of our Rowan farmers, Messrs. Benton Ludwick and G. W. Revels; anoth- | er, near by, by Jos. F. McLean. Esq., and still another one, new out and out, by Messrs. Deaton, Sumrow & Co. All are doing good work and getfing plenty to do. So when Sheriff Kriker comes around for his taxes, (which is as sure as death,) I don’t think there will be any excuse for his having to come the sec- ond time this full, for everybody can now have their cotton ginned, aud enough sold to pay taxes, which I believe they sre doe ing.

Nudging the eeach driver, who chanced to be old Bill Mc- Clenathan, he asked: “Ah, driver, I wondah what the doose those boots are doing up theah?”’ Old Bill searcely glanc- ed up ashe replied: “That’s a man buri- ed up there, and the boys were in such a hurry that they did not dig deep enough to get his feet in.” “Bah Jawve, that’s very strange, ye knau; I'll make a note of that. But I say, driver, the toes point down. He must be buried on his face, d’ye knau.” “Yes.” said old Bill, mus- ingty, “he wasan Irishman.” “But what's his being an Irishman got to do with his being buried face down?” asked the now thoroughly aroused PBritisher. Old Bill looked at him ina pitying manner for some seconds, and then, ina tone full of deep sorrow and astonishment at the tourist’s ignorance, said: Irishman gets out of bis grave and votes, and so lately we've got to burying’em on The extent and richness of the deposit is, very likely to attract even more aitention than already hasbeen givento North Carolina gold resources since the World’s see,” said the Englishman, gravely; make a note of that for my Francisco Post. some rated at $50 per hundred by tobac- | jsuffexing from i vision, jadvice free. & fotch wotes, & Send Shurman | back to the Cenate ter vave de bludy | ' ! | “Well, do you | see, we've gota sort of superstition out) this way that on election day every dead | the top of the hill, face down, so that the} more the corpse tries to dig out the dcep- | er he gets in the ground.” “Oh, yh ‘ sey? wee book.’—Scn grades. while all desirable goods are tak- i for several months. —=.

My digestion was all deranged and my existence was most wretched. Everything that could be done, but no permanent benefit was derived. Atiasta great tumor came on my neck below. the left ear. It increased in size until my head was forced tothe right shoulder and in this ungainly and uneomfortable position, I was compelled to carry my head. The docters decided that it was there to stay as long as life continued, and for many years it did remain. In March, 1884, at the suggestion of Colonel John Traylor I was induced to try Swift’s Specific. My system responded to the medicine prom pt ly, and I began to improve from almost the first bottle. That fearful tamor has all disappeared, and every appearance of the disease has left my person except a small hard lump on the right side of my neck. and that is disappearing rapidly.

Editor Husscy to Greensboro Patriot. Senator Vance’s Courier Journal inter- view in which he appears us a ‘“‘kicker”’ against the Administration, has attracted attention here. It is understood to bea declaration of war and the gossips place him and Senator Eustis in the same boat. Whe opinion expressed by the junior North Carolina Senator, that the people in North Carolina are dissatisfied with the Administration, is not confirmed by visit- ing North Carolinians. Here and there in the State, it is said, complaint is heard that changes are not made fast enough, but asto any general dissatisfaction, it does not exist. Itis also said that the people generally are in sympathy with the Senator’s civil service views. The present civil service reform is everywhere in the State regarded and characterized as a transparent humbug. The Senator uses. vigorous and unmis- takable English ins eaking of Southern Republican office holders. ‘They gained their position,” he says, “by going over to the negroes, by becoming traitors to their teflow-citizens, and by antagonizing every principle of the Southern people.” They ought to be removed, and so far as North Carolina is concerned they have been removed. The one prominent Re- publican now in ottce in North Carolina is the Wilmington postmaster. He has not been removed because Deinocrats re- quest his retention. The change in the Charlotte mint has not been made because Senator Vance and Congressman Bennett could not agree upon the appointment. If there is blame let the responsibility at- tach where it belongs. At the instance of Senator Vance the Department has decided to remove the revenue office from Statesville to Newton. The change is only awaiting a report from Collector Dowd on the cost of renting a suitable building for an office in Newton, The Department first determined to make no change; it was then decided to remove the oflice to Charlotte; subsequently it has been decided to remove it to Newton. Collector Dowd fought against the remov- al to Newton, but finally acquiesced, and is now understood to join Senator Vance in urging that change. It is understood here that the removal is against the judg- ment of the Department, and_ possibly against the report of the special agent who was sent to North Carolina to inves- tigate the matter. The main objection urged against Statesville is that the only suitable building in the town for an office is owned by ex-Collector Mott, and that he is consequently the chief beneficiary of the present location of the office. Tlow- ever these things may be the change is to be made, and that soon, and ‘the Banner county” will have something besides “the banner” to show for its enthusiastic fidel- ity to Democratic principles, Senator Ransom is an untiring worker. Most of his time is spent here, at great inconvenience and expense, in the inter- est of his State. He has boundless faith inthe Admnistration and believes that its policy is wise and just. The changes are too slow, but he appreciates the ditti- culties that beset a new Administration. He has no ground of complaint. Not a single request has been denied him, and it is well known here that he enjoys the President’. confidence.

Greensboro Patriot. ] Ponp, Guilford County, Oct. 10th, ticle in the Patriot, asking the farm- ers to try an experiment this fall while curing todacco, that they might ascertain whether or not the tobacco bara would do for an evaporator for fruit drying. ITonly speak for my- self, and say that I have tried the ex- periment and think it will pay a large per cent. to all who engage in the fruit drying business, I use the rock furnace with the iron pipe. While curing a barn of tobacco last week I pared and eliced some apples, placed them on boards, then put one board of the fruit thus prepar:d on the low- er tier, and the other al-out six inches from the ground betwen the flues. This was dene wheuthe thermom- eter was at 160°. I continued to in- crease the heat until it had attained 180°—the length of time being four hours. At this time the fruit was taken out, and I found it to be thoroughly dried, and would not bend but snap- ped very short. After it had ben ex- posed a short time to the open air, which was very damp at that time, | the fruit became very flexible. The color was not as bright as 1 have seen, which I suppose was on account of the apples being very mellow; but the flavor was most excellent. T also placed in the baru some half peaches, which remained five hours. On taking out the fruit last mention- ed I found it to have a beautiful col- or, and the flavor was delicious. I am fully pursuaded that the to- bacco barn can be successfully used for evaporating fruit, and much cheap- er than the costly evaporator made for sale. If this proves to be succes- ful the farmer has an evaporator on his farm on a much Jarger scale than those put up fur the market. I expect to test the matter on the | peaches and apples. J.

Goodloe, a well known North Carolina writer, has been engaged for sometime on a work entitled ‘‘Reconstruc- tion.” The preliminary chapters discuss principal military events. In some way Sunset Cox heard of Mr. Goodloe’s work. He examined the manuscript, purchased it, and has used it, with emendations, of course, in his “Three Decades.” The fact that a North Carolina writer figures so conspicuously in what promises to be a widely read book ought to be known. Mr. Goodloe resides in Washington. is now well up in seventy and has not seen a sick day in a half century.

Such a man was Christopher Co- ‘Jumbus. Born in obscurity and rear- ed in poverty, nevertheless it is to i him that we, asa nation, must attrib- ute the honor of one of the grandest, yes, most sublime discoveries, that _man has ever made—the discovery of halfasphere! Columbus was a think- ‘er; for had he not been, America would probably have been anknown to the world long after Columbus had | passed away. The Effect of the Great Explosion. | Gen. Newton, Engineer in charge of the excavation and explosion at Hell Gate, says of the recent explosion: “There are no reasons which prove that the explosion was not fully suc- cessful, while there are any number of them that tend to show that it was. The area covered by the water thrown up seemed to be about of the some ex- tent as the excavation made. There was proof in this that a large number, | at least of the cartridges placed explod- ed; and as all were arranged alike and had the same connection, the logical conclusion is that all were fired. To- morrow or next day asurvey of the rock will be begun. Wherever the rock is found to ii the same sound- ing as before the blow up, we shall con- clude that the cartridges at that point failed to go off. The doubt expressed about the pulverization of that part of the rock known as the nigger-head, is il founded. My own superficial exam- ination, after the explosion, showed the nigger-head to have been completely removed. After the survey has been made, the work of dredging the broken ' rock will begin. It is estimated that about three years will be occupied in this work. The cost will be about $500,000. One hundred thousand dol- lars of the government's appropriation is still left, and there need be no delay in the removal of the debris. Divers will not be necessary to this work.” Parental Honor The words, “Honor thy father and their mother,” means four things— always do what they bid you, always tell them the truth, always treat them lovingly, and take care of them when they are sick or grown old. I never yet knew a boy who trampled on the wishes of his parents who turned out well. God never blesses a willfully disobedient son. When Washington was sixteen years old, he determined to leave home and be a midshipman in a co- Jonial navy. After he had sent off his trunk, he went to bid his mother good-by. She wept so bitterly be- cause he was going away that he said to his negro servant, “Bring back my trunk, [ am net going to make my wether suffer so by my leaving her.” He remaiued at home to please his mother. his decision Jed to his becoming a surveyor, and afterwards a soldier. His glorivus career in life turned on this ove simple act of try- ing to make his mother happy. And happy, too, is the child who never has oceasion to shed bitter tears for any act of unkindness to his parents. Let us not forget that God has said, — Youth's Companion. ing house again. “STonor thy father and thy mother.” “They call this a Spring bed, do they, when it isa fall bed?” he imut- tered as he crawled out of the wreck, and swore an unrevised oath that he would never patronize a Bowery lodg- Four Italian laborers at Hartford were poisoned last week by eating toad-stools, which they mistook for ‘mushrooms.

C., but in the present phase of its existence it is a young shoot and deserves the sunshine of patronage to enable it to spread it’s branches to the four winds and become a giant institution of learning in N. C., if not in the South. Lenoir might appropri- tely be termed the portal to a lovely por- tion of our celebrated “Land of the Sky,”’ | and Davenport occupies aa eminence | over-looking this Arcadian village and | commanding an extensive view of the shadows Tying so gracefully and lovingly upon’them. An impression formed in the village, would not suggest the rare heau- ty of one’s surroundings at the College, and even the fatigue of climbing the emi- }in a mansion or in a negro’s cabin. nence on which it is built, does not fally prepare one for the grandeur that bursts | in full foree upon the visitor as he turns | at the main entrance and beholds the fair | vision.— ee of high grandeur now loomto the> tient | Ron peat and southwest is the region that’s ylue— .

Mr. Sanborn (the President) after graduating at a noted American College spent four years inves: gating the methods pursued in the best schools of Europe and in study- ing music at the Royal Conservatory at Leipzig, at Borlin and at Vienna. Mrs, Sanborn has charge of the vocal department and about her beautifully trained yoice too much could not be said. it Leipzig and has recently returned from Berlin and Vienna where she again studi- ed under the best masters. Her voice is wonderfully powerful, clear and sweet and reminds one of a mountain stream in it’s clearness and purity of tone, as it gracefully glides from mountain heights to the suftest vales below. Her crystal notes might be termed a rainbow ofsound. What a.wonderful gift isa good voice when directed und controled by science! Her’s is truly—“‘a power hid in pathos’ — “Through all symbols [ search for its sweetness in vain.” The Art department is in charge of Miss Norwood, wna, aside from her achieve- ments in Art, is “a perfect woman nobly planned.” For years she was the pupil | ofa celebrated urtist from Munich, went throngh a thorough course at Cooper In- stitute and the Academy of Design in New York and has lately studied in the pallerics of Paris, Berlin, Dresdea, Flori- ence and Rome. Having enjoyed rare oppertunities for acquiring proficiency, she is ceriainly capble of giving such in- struction is seldom obtained in the south. The teachers of Languages, Elocution and all the English branches are led who have graduated at well known Col- leges and are therefore fully competent. Telegraphy isaiso tought, which is rather unusual in female Colleges. The most striking feature of this school, is the home like intercourse between teachers and pupils which dispells the formal air schools generally assume. Pupils arc permitted to attend the chuch of their choice as the school is not denominational. Such are the impressions Davenport College left on the mind ofa visitor who Qc ad tes The Penalty of Idleness. Biblical Recon der. In Raleigh, last week, a young man, the grandson of a United States Senator | and the son of a learned lawyer, was sen- tenced to imprisonment in the State’s pri- son at hard labor for ten years. The Judge, in pronouncing the sentence, re- minded him that his crime was the result of idleness. The day has passed when men can live on their family name. The watchword of the. present is ‘“‘work.”’ Our people look with suspicion upon him who seeks not to better his-condition or support himself either by brain or muscle, and the spirit of the times demands that the criminal be punished, whether born All honor to Judge Clark and Solicitor Gallo- way, who have, by their adherence to du- ty, become a terror to evil-doers. _>-—.—_ Plantations Submerged by a Tidal Wave. SAVANNAH, October 12.—A strong northern gale, which was blowing all day yesterday, caused a tidal wave in the Savannah river at noon, and another at 10p.m. The rice plantations are all sub- merged, the banks are badly broken, and the crop is all under water. The loss is estimated at from 60 to 75 percent. Hutch- inson Island, opposite Savannah, is inun- dated, and all of the residents came over to the city last night. The rice crop along the Ogeechee and Satilla rivers is also damaged, and many fields will be a total loss. The heavy rain has flooded the country south of here, and the track of , the Savannah, Florida and Western rail- road is washed out in several places. A freight train ran into a washout near Folkeston, and the engineer and fireman were seriousky injured. The Jacksonville and Savannah express is also off the track at Callahan.

A FRIGHTFUL CASE OF A COLORED MAN. I contracted a fearful case of blood poison in 1883. I was treated by some of the best physicians in Attanta. They used the old remedies of Mercury and Potash, which brought on rheumatism and impaired my digestive organs. Every joint in me was swollen and full of pain. When I was given up to die, my physi- cians thought it would be a good time to test the virtue of Swift’s Specific. When I commenced taking S. 8. S. the physi- cinn said I could not live two weeks un- der the crdinary treatment. He com- menced to give me the medicine strictly according to directions, which I continued for several months. I took nothing else, and commenced to improve froin the very first. Soon the rheumatism left me, my appetite became all right, and the uleers, which the doctor said were the most frightful he had ever scen, began to heal, and by the first of October, 1854, I was awell man again. I am now than I ever was. before, and weigh more. 8. §. 8. has saved me froman carly grave. LEM McCLENDON. Lem McClendon has been ments to be true. condition. r W. B. CROSBY, Manacer, ble miraculous.

He suc- ceeds in preserving them and they are worth 60 or 75 cents per bushels in the early spring. Raising potatoes ays very well at those figures. Mr. D. A. Atwell tells of an economical and sure way of saving potatoes through the winter.

As for the Democrats, they hold that it was simply natural that Ohio should go Republican; it was and is a Republican state, and the political predilictions of the people are paramount, and cannot be changed per- manently by tidal waves or trickery. The President has nothing to say in ref- erence to. the result, and those who ex- pected an expression of opinion were disappointed. Of the prominent Demo- crats all advanced some reason for the defeat, and Senator Eustis is quoted as having said toa friend that he regarded the result as a rebuke for the President. The most exciting and gossip giving cyent of the week was of a diplomatic and saturnalian character. Emanuel Del Campo, secretary of the Chilian legation, was last night arrested and taken to the Fifth Precinct Station House for being drunk and disorderly In company with Mr. Perreard, the proprietor of a French hotel, he stood on the steps of the Nation- altheatre last night about 10:30 o'clock, struggling to. enter while his companion endeavored to dissyade him from the act. The noise of their scuffle attracted the attention of Officer McMahon, who ap- prouehed and at orce proceeded to ar- rest the one who was the most intoxica- ted and disorderly. This person happen- ed to be Mr. Del Campo. Mr. Perreard objected to the oficer’s action. “You cannot arrest this man” he said; “no, sir: you cannot arrest hin.” “Ashe did not state any reason why he could not arrest Lim, the officer conclu- ded that) Mr. Perreard was trying to re- sist. him and take his prisoner. He ac- cordingly struck hina blow with his fist lend disengaged his hold upon the drunk- en man he had arrested. Hr.

The | court held that it had no authority to de- cide upon the correctness of either the King James or the Douay Bible, as all versions stood equal before the law, and the school directors had the power to au- thorize the use of any. This ruling gives Roman Catholics the right where their school directors are in the majority to have their own Bible used in the public schools. oo oe The Hickory Fair a Success. Notwithstanding the limited time in which it was gotten up, and the busy season with the farmers, the Fair which has been in progress here since Wed- nesday morning has been largely attend- ed and is a success in every particular. The exhibit of the various articles from the field, orchard, garden, workshop, studio, and of « domestic nature 1s splendid. The display of musical in- struments, machines and articles in Flo- ral Hall made by some of our business men, is also very attractive. The most ae ariel tire > abuse at a} fe: : : 5 and poured out a torrent of abuse at the |interestig and substantial feature of officer, who placed him also under arrest. | Meanwhile his first prisoner had been strugg¢ling to release himself, swearing at the officer in a Curions jumble of French, Inelish, and Spanish. Mc¢Mahon, who is a powerful man, was quite capable. however, of managing two prisoners ata ‘time, and it was not long before the party arrived at the Fifth precinct station | house. “What is your name?” inquired the station keeper, addressing the drunken fimann. “Lf am Emanuel Del Campo, of the Chilan Legation,” was the reply extracted from the prisoner, amid many oaths and “And if youarrest me,” he add- The handsome He raved and and ink- bloated with dissipation. stormed, knocked the books | stand off the desk, and shouted and swore all the tongucs at his command. ditference between you and me,”’ said he to the station keeper, “is that I ama gentleman of birth and education, while you—you—" and here his indigna- tion chocked him. ‘Miserable’? summed up his estimation of the station keeper when he could regain his speech. As soon as he showed his passport, a proof that he belonged to the legation, the ser- ceant on duty told him that he was free and could go. “No,” yelled Del Campo, with excited frenzy, “I won't go.

What a terrible little game cock of a country Chili is. Our country need not shake in her boots over the events of last night. But it is well understood that the American Navy is not in’ such an advanced stage of reconstruction as to render a hostile misunderstanding with any foreign power at all desirable; and it is well known that the Chilian govern- ment has a somewhat contemptuous opinion of the Udited States, and might jump at this little emeute as a veritable casus belll. in sent a i ae Mortgage System. The The Durham Leporter says of tne mort- gage system: “Tf, however, a farmer or any one else ean ect along without mortgages, it is far better. Sometimes it is the best thing that can be done, and like other species of eredit, is a benefit to. the mortgagor, but in many cases great loss falls on the mortgagee. If aman will look over the pile of mortgages held by some of our business men that are past due and no way to collect them he will see who has the big end of the bag to hold. Small amounts, from ten to twenty dollars, scattered over an area of from twenty to thirty miles, comprising in the aggregate perhaps a thousand dollars, with no way to colleet, isa considerable item to one man. * * Our advice is to keep out of inortgages if possible, as the best thing for both parties.” There are farmers and farmers. One will thrive, grow rich, and another close to him will be in debt, will mortgage and finally be bankrupted and homeless. You may see this in the finest cotton and tobacco counties. One man makes his three, five.ten thousand dollars clear each year while his neighbor just over the tence loses year by year, and finally ends with complete ruin. How is this? It is the man much more thanin the land. The mortgage system once entered upon will be always continued from year to year by poor farmers, or lazy farmers, or drinking farmers or extravagant farmers, The first mortgage upon a farm is as bad for the farmer as the first chill is for the victim ina vellow fever district. It is the beginning of an attack that will end in great suffering and possibly in finan- cial death. Beware of the first mortgage.— Wil. Star. Se A stump orator exclaimed, “I know no north, no south, no east, no west, fellow citizens!” “Then, exclaimed an old farmer inthe crowd. ‘Its time yon weat to school and Jarnt jography.” this exhibition is the daily parade of registered and fine blooked stock from Catawba andadjoining counties, consist- ing mainly of cattle, but there are a great many fine horses, mules, stallions, jacks, sheep, hogs, chickens, &c.

In the zenith of his fame he once at- tempted it, failed, and gave it up con- fused and abashed. In framing the Constitution of the United States the labor was almost wholly performed in Committee of the Whole, of which George Washington was the chairman, but he made only two speeches during the convention, which were of a very few words each. The convention, how- ever, acknowledged the master spirit, and historians affirm that, had it not been for his personal popularity, and the thirty words of his first speech, pro- nouncing it the best that could be unit- ed upon, the Constitution would have been rejected by the people. ‘Thomas Jefferson never made a speech. He couldn'tdoit. Nepoleon, lice execu- tive ability isalmost without a parallel, said that his greatest trouble was in finding men of deeds rather than words. Too Well Represented. Last week there were six blockaders and anegro, Bill Dickson, charged with larceny, in jail. ‘The moonshiners were all taken to Statesville to attend Feder- al court Monday and Bill is left in sol- itary confinement. In addition to these men, who were in jail, several others have been, within the last few weeks, bound over to attend court at States- ville on the charge of either making or selling whiskey illicitly. Caldwell and Alexander are too well represented at Statesville this week. Indeed, it seems that this illicit whiskey business is be- ing run for all it is worth and the de- puty marshals are having plenty of work. This business should either be broken up root and branch or else the internal revenue system should be abol- ished as useless.—Lenowr Topic. SS — > A Novel Cloc A Westen jeweler has invented a novel time-piece in the shape of a steel wire streched across his show window, in which a stuffed canary hops from left to right, indicating as it goes the hour of the of the day by pointing with its beak at a dial stretched beneath the wire, and having the figures from one to twenty-four. When it reaches the latter figure, it glides across the window to one again. There is no mechanism that can be seen, it all being inside the bird. ‘The inventor says he was three years in studying it out. Cluverius will Probably Hang. The writ of error granted by the Virginia Court of Appeals in the case of Cluverius, the Richmond murderer simply suspends the sentence of death until the question of granting a new trial can be heard and disposed of.

Not long ago in an editorial we re- ferred to heroes in broadcloth. Two instances have occurted to illustrate this. A boy had fallen in the river at New York. A crowd of men and boys were looking on. An exquisitly dress- ed person appeared. He took in the situation at a glance. He saw a strange boy in the water drowning and no one lending a helping hand Off went his coat and hat and he plunged into the river and rescued the hoy. He took no care of fine clothes, diamonds, or life as long as a human being was in peril. He was a hero in fine inen. Here is a lesson net to judge by appearances. Another instance is repo.ted at Roches- ter, N. Y. The Genessee river runs through it and the banks are steep and rocky. A gentleman. living there had long been absent and ha: just returned on the train. He was hurrying home, anxious to see his wife and children. An account says : “He was hurrying along the streets with a bright vision of home in his mind, when he saw on the bank of ‘he river a lot of excited men. “+*What is the matter?’ he shoutel. “They replied, ‘A boy is in the va- ter.’ “Why don't you save him?’ he ass- ed. “In a moment, throwing down hs carpet bag and pulling off his coat, he to the shore, and as he wiped the water from his dripping face he recognized his own boy.” Here is lesson number two. Do not judge by appearances.— Hil. Star. Ohio Gone Republican. The election in Ohio surprised mavy. It was believed that a victo- ry awaited the Democrats. The nom- ination of Headly was regarded as a misfortune, and even Democratic pa- pers were found declaring in advance that he would be defeated. The Re- publicans are victors, electing the Governor and carrying the Legislature by a good working majority. There is no doubt that Ohio is Republican. It is always so when there are not lo- cal issues to divide. ‘The Germans have net always voted solid tor the Republican candidates but when they have done so there has been no difi- culty ip electing them, What effect the Democratic defeat will have on New York may not be known, but the ‘probability is that it will injure the prospects of that party. It way be that it onght not to haye such an effect, but judging from former defeats an unfavorable influence will be ex- erted. ‘The greatest danger in New York, however, will be found in the unfortunate discords, thatseem peren- nial and perpetual.— Wil. Star. _ or Overcome by Quirine. A scene was created in the Supreme Court at Atlanta, Ga., cn Tuesday, by Justice Blandford suddenly drop- ping from his chair and falling to the floor. Court was immediately sus- pended and Chief Justice Jacson and Justice Hall rushed to his side and laid him on one of the velvet beuches of the room. The lawyers in the room gathered around him and it was thought be was dyiog. Medical aid was summoned, but when the physi- cians arrived it was found that he was better. He was soon well enough to get up and was carried to lis home. He had taken fifteen grains of quinine for the bad cold from which he was suffering, Which overcame his nervous ‘system und prostrated him. oo Historic Room. The Jerusalem chamber, in which the bible was revised, is a part of Westminster Abbey, and teok its name from tapestrios and pictures which represent scenes of Jerusalem. It is a simple rectangular room, wainscoted with cedar from the Holy Land. In thecenter of the room stands a long, broad table. In this chamber Henry VI died in 1413 when he was on the eve of a pilgrim- age to Palestine. Inthe room Ad- dison and Sir Isaac Newton Jay in state befure they were laid in their final resting places. King James’ Version of the Bibles, the Westimin- ster Catechism and the common prayer book have all come from the Jerusalem chamber. -e Great and Rich Country. In the days of the Montezumas we are told that the aboriginal Mexicans shod their horses with silver aud cov- ered their houses with gold sheeting, so plentiful were these now precious metals then in that newly discovered land. Upon the same principle we suppose that Doc Smith, of Buffalo, acted last week when he drove down to Lenoir with a cargo of geese coep- ed up in acrater made of walnut slats. What with a railroad from Richlands with silver rails and marble topped walnut goose crates from Buffalo, we are inclined to pronounce this a great country.—Lenotr Topic. Mary Anderson in Boy's Clothes. New York Graphic. If Mary Anderson has gained in flesh during her long absence, the fact is not made evident through any en- largement of her somewhat thin but always beautiful features. She has, however, learned to give new expres- sions to her countenance as well as to her voice, and as Rosalind she has many new moods and caprices, some of them recalling, without greatly resembling, the Parthenia, which is an abiding picture in the memory of most Americans. In her dress as a boy she gives us an especially pleas- ing new feature in the exhibition for the first time on this stage ofa leg which, itis but the truth te say, needs ouly to be-seen to be admired. It is ample without being gross. It is ap. propriate to the trunk to which it be- longs as ifit had come from the bands of an artist specially gifted as to har- mony in proportion, bearing in mind the entire structure from head to heel. On a buxom person it would certain- ly have the appearauce of a leg pain- fully misplaced and dangerously un- certain; but as Miss Auderson’s mem- ber it is precisely as it shonld be—it is graceful, it is accurately rounded, it is confident and at the same time |modest, it is pathetic in some of its ning always, and it is handled by its | possessor with the consummate grace ‘of which only she is capable. We feel ‘that this notice of its first appearance on the New York stage without the \dishgurement vf drapery is unavoid- ‘able. The debut was entirely success- ful, and, more than that, it serves to remove a growingly unhappy doubt Jas to the member in question which has been carried by an always patient but at present thoroughly gratified public altogether too long. ieee Opposed to the Blair Bill. The Salisbury Watchman thinks that the passage of the Blair Educa- tional Aid Bill by the next Congress “will be the worst thing that could happen tothe people of the South, and it is the duty of every thought- ful person to fight it.” We agree with the Watchman, and say good bye to States’ Rights and self-independence when a Southern State acknowledges itself a pauper and dependent on the National Treas- ury fora gift of money for any pur- pose.—Char.

The Boyden House, at Salisbury, is being fitted up for Winter guests, a number of whom have already en- gaged rooms, and others expected. ‘The house will probably be full all. Winter. Among other guests who are expected, one of the largest deal- ers in real estate in the New England states will make his headquarters there and carry on an extensive busi- ness in North Carolina lands. The Boyden, we understand, has a fair share of the traveling patronage.— Lexington Dispatch. Mormon Proselyting in North Carolina. A meeting was held by three eld- ers and two ladies of the Mormen faith at an old school house in a se- cluded place near the village of East Bend, Yadkin county, a short time since. Lhe attendance was small and earnest exhortation failed to adda single convert to the fold, Polygamy was barely mentioned and is entirely omitted from the “Articles of Faith” which were distributed at the close of the meeting upon neatly printed cards with the name of an elder upon the opposite side.— Win ston Sentinel. oo oor rr Asheville Fair Notes. Mr. W. S. Primrose, President of the State Exposition, after looking through the exhibits, said the department of agricultural products on our grounds is decidedly the best he ever saw in the State. Everybody is praising the magnifi- cent display of farm products at the Fair. This is but a just tribute to our farmers and section, and a specially merited compliment to Capt. Natt At- kinson, to whose extraodinary energy and judgment the success is due. The stock exhibited is large, and ve- ry fine. This is one of the most en- couraging features of the Fair. The improvement in stock is most noticea- ble.

A few doses of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will reform these evils and prevent further in- jury. Itisa pleasant aperient, its action upon the bowels being unaccompanied by griping. The liver is both regniated and stimulated by it, and as it is very impolitic } to disregard disorder of that organ, which through neglect may culminate in danger- ous congestion and hepatic abscess, the Bitters should be resorted to at an early stage. Failure to do this renders a contest with the malady more protracted.

The Legis- lature may be said to be fairly representa- tive of the people of Nurth Carolina, au the Legislature of 1881, that of 1883, anc that of 1885 has each (unanimously we think) instructed our Senators to seek the passage of the Educational Bill.— 7 er. ; a eg need, since nothing can be accomplished, of going into an ar- gument of any length on the subject of the Blair Bill. Even with its amend- ed modifications it is bound to aggra- vate the many evils arising from the whole system of public education. The writer may not ‘a in accord with the sentiment of the people in his views on ublic education, andof this Blair Bill in particular, but nevertheless, he stands firm by his opposition to the Bill. It is all wrong; the underlying and hidden principle is one of commun- ism, and it will eventually embolden that spirit, which is already poisoning many of our best institutions and or- ganizing labor against capital, into more open and defiant opposition to all au- poets The effect must be baneful in districts where the blacks greatly out- number the whites in population. The same educational advantages are accord- ed to the blacks as are given to the chil- dren of the poorer whites. But the de- fects in the whole system of public edu- cation are so numerous, andso much at variance with the writer’s views that a discussion cannot be though of. It would entail much time and labor, and there is no scope in a newspaper for the discussion of a subject embracing 80 wide a range. The Register tempts a fling at the contemptible demagogy, cross-roads pol- iticlan who leads the thoughtless mass- es into their support by such seeming fair bait as this Blair Bill. Legisla- tors are not famed for the purity of their motives in all they do. In this instance they are not responsible for the Bill, but they use it for a bait among their less profound (?) con- stituency. —_——__— -@- a In the Mountains. Some very prominent men have been in the western part of this State for several days since. Among them were Mr. Geo. Scott and W. P. Clyde, of New York, Col. Andrews and Maj. J. W. Wil- son. They have been making a tour of inspection, doing the new part of the Murphy extension of the Western N. C. Railroad; the Asheville Fair, and other points. There are some big schemes on foot for the development of different interests in that section. By the first of November it is expect- ed that the Murphy extension will reach Jerrett’s, which is one hundred and two miles west of Asheville. The people of that sectiou are awak- ing to the importance of cattle raising. An evidence of the change in the order of things is found in the fact that more than 300 car loads of cattle will go to the markets from that section this sea- son. This estimate is based on the number of car loads already shipped, and the rather increased ratio of the past week, and does not include cattle passing over the road, loaded in Ten- nessee and other States. It is an en- couraging outlook for that section. It must require years to bring all that wild wilderness into anything like a state of cultivation, and the interim may be made very profitable by raising cattle. The people once trained to the eare of cattle mi naturely follow it as a means of livelihood. Every cattle- producing section of this country is prepared and progressive. The out- ook for the west is, therefore, very en- couraging. eer About “A Fool’s Errand.” The Agricultural Department proposes to send Mr. Peter M. Wilson to London to spend $15,000 to advertise North Caro- lina. If they will take that amount of money and start an industrial schoo] they will act wisely. They had as well spend that money in measuring the height of the aoe in the moou.—Durham Recor- The Agricultural do no such thing. The Durham Re- corder should inform itself before pub- lishing such nonsense. It is well known (has been published in several papers ) that this appointment and the others to be made are complimentary only, and that the appointee can use his pleasure about going.

The Treasury department at Washing- ton has under consideration the dismissal of several clerks who refuse to pay their debts. To have such men in the Depart- ment the officials consider a_ reflection upon it. . . Is it nota reflection upon railroad Companies, private Corporations, Sher- iffs, Clerks, and public officials of any kind, to have in their employ men who will not pay their debts! There are cases everywhere of this kind where debts have been made to laboring men in need of every dollar of their earnings and yet with-held by the debtur not beeause he cannot pay, but because there is no law to compel him to be honest. Such men are unworthy of trust, and prove by their acts that they will practice dishonesty whenever they can wilh safety, and of course should not be honored and screened by pub- lie officials. rr rec Gen. D. H. Hill Speaks. The Wilmington Star says: On Thursday night last, at the Richmond, Va., Fair, the hall of the House of Del- egates was crowded with men who wore the gray. Gen. D. H. Hill was the or- ator. His theme was “The Confeder- ate Soldier.” His address was most vociferously applauded. Of the privates in ranks he said: ‘Hard must be the heart of that foeman which does not warm with a generous glow at this simple tale of sublime devo- tion to principle. And how should this story aifect us, their comrades in danger and their partners in the same buoyant hopes and the same deep dispair? May my arm be palsied by my side when it ceases to hold up the banner inscribed all over with their glorious deeds. May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth when it ceases to pronounce the praise of such matchless courage, unrivaled forti- tude, and unselfish patriotism. God bless the privates in the ranks now and forey- ermore! [Great applause. ]”’ —————__~<.2>- Synod. - The recent session of the Presbyte- rian Synod at Reidsville, spent part of two days on the case of Robeson, on an appeal from the decision of Meck- lenburg Presbytery. The charges a- gainst the defendant Robeson were cruelty to and desertion of his wife. The Presbytery cf Mecklenburg by a unanimous vote suspended him indefi- nitely from the exercise of his ministe- rial office and also from the privileges of the church. Synod reviewed the records cf the trial as sent up, and heard the argument of the case; and on taking the vote the case was returned to Mecklenburg Presbytery for a new trial, Pres. McKinnon’seducational address and Dr. Davis’ lecture on China Mis- sions were interesting incidents of the exercises, and attracted very large au- diences. Mr. McKinnon’s address as relating to Davidson College was pro- nuanced by many as the best effort of the kind they ever heard. cripple. A Stanly School. O. C. Hamiiton, Principal of the Yadkin Mineral Springs Institute, Stanly county, announces the introduc- tion of Prof. W. H. Stallings, a gradu- ate of the Business College, of Lexington Kentucky, as an adjunct to his first class school. By the bye. Stanly county is actually taking “the lead in educational matters, and the time is not far distant when her young men will be sought as teachers in sections as yet indifferent tothe cause. Much credit is due to Prof. Hamilton for the awaking in Stanly, and also for the good he has done in his own school. eee The Wages of Sin. The Charlotte Observer re death of Mr. W. A. Moore, of Chester, S.€., which oceurred at the Central Hotel, on Tuesday night. The facts very briefly stated are as follows: Mr. Moore arrived in Charlotte on a night freight with an unknown woman. He registered at the Central as “W. A_ Smith and wife,” and they retired to a room. About four o'clock the night watchman discovered the odor of gas and traced it to reom 72, occupied by the parties named. The proprietor was called, and as no response could be gotten from within, the room was entered through a tran- som. The gas was very dense and when the door and window was opened the two were found a parently dead. Examination proved ie Moore to be dead, while life yet remained in the woman. Her condition is improving and she will probably recover. She is yet unknown. Mr. Moore leaves a wife and three children in Chester. _ The Observer says: “Room 72 is pro- vided with a ‘drop’ light, one that hangs down from the ceiling, and the orts the dinary man has to stretch his arm above his head to reach the cock. Tt is prob- able that the gas was turned off by one of the parties and turn d j - cidentally.” Nai Re burner is at such a height that an or- | W . _ Raising Wheat. — Capt. Fagg, of Asheville, N. C., says I;the Country Homes, of that city, 1s reparing some land to make a heavy je d of wheat: next year, and ghallen- ges any farmer in Buncombe county to make more on one acre than he will. Wish the Capt. had extended his challenge as far down the slope as Rowan. There are some farmers in this county who are ees hard to beat on wheat, notably, J. M. Harrison, 8. C. McLaughlin, Capt. Jas. R. Craw- ford, Jas. S. McCubbins, 8S. R. Harri- son und several others. We hope some one of them will accept Capt. Fagg’s banter, and show him that Rowan is a worthy contestant. The press of the State with one ac- cord, hand the laurels to the daily Wil- mington Star. It isa just tribute to merit. L. L. Polk, Ksq., will begin soon the publication of a weekly agricultural paper at Raleigh. Washington Letter. From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 1885. The winter season and session are suffi- ciently near to be matters of interest and subjects of conversation in Washington. There seems to be a general impression in Congress will be one of unusual interest and excitement. Many think it will be the most sensational winter in Washing- ton since the war. If by some malign ac- cident New York and Virginia should go Republican, the bloody shirt will again come to the front and the stormy scenes of the reconstruction era will be revived in the House and Senate. I hear from a reliable source that Mr. Vilas, Mr. Whitney and Mr. Lamar are to be made subjects of an attack not less virulent than that which Mr. Garland is now enduring. The John Roach interest; the land grant interest ; the steamship mail interest are enraged and desperate. They have powerful attorneys in Chan- dler, Robeson, Ben. Butler and others. They will leave no stone unturned to re- cover their rich booty and they will find ready assistance here in Washington. There are a large number of contractors, lobbyists, attorneys and claim agents here who have grown rich from the fat drippings in the United States Treasury. When Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated, they thought, of course, the ‘‘day of their destiny” was Over, and most of them pro- posed to retire or emigrate. But these sweet exiles have seen from afar that many of their former pals and aceompli- ces are retained in places of confidence and trust, and they are coming back. They will be felt if not seen this winter. They are active even now. The President, I think, is not aware of the immense sin- ews of the forces that are preparing to at- tack him through his Cabinet. The Pan Electric Telephone Company will be ins John Roach. The Ocean Mail Steamship Company will howl for their subsidy, and insist upon an investigation of the Post Master General. The Jand grabbers’ point of attack will be the Secretary of the In- terior. A powerful socio military organi- zation will weep and refuse to be comfort- ed because all the leaders of society have been sent to their regiments and _ posts in the West. When all these forces march against the common foe, there will be beautiful fighting all along the line. That Mr. Cleveland is so slow in clean- ing the camp of enemies and traitors is a subject of regret with those who elected him for this purpose. To have seen the rejoicing last week in the corridors of the different Departments—the handshaking, the congratulation over the Republican success in Ohio, one would have thought that the dial had been turned back to the days of Grant, or to the time when these same Officials rejoiced over the rape of the presidency in 1876. These jubilating Re- publican officials, men who have eaten the bread of theft since 1876, are the in- struments that are retained by a Demo- cratic Administration. Mr. Cleveland has accomplished mark- ed reforms, and his message to Congress, accompanied by the reports of the differ- ent Cabinet oflicers will show that much has been done in the direction ofa return to honest and economical methods of ad- ministration. -For the first time in the history of the Post Office Department the contingent fund has been so carefully managed that Congress will not be called upon to make a deficiency appropriation. The figures in other Departments will be as creditable. But the full measure of re- form cannot be attained with the clerks appointed by Blaine, Hoar, Sherman, Mabone, and the two Chadlers.

It was re- ferred to the seminary committee, who late at night submitted a majority and minority report, the former disapproving of the action of the directors in removin Dr. Woodrow. The debate was Guiatiad late last night and the majority report in favor of woodrow adopted.

AN EVOLUTION QUESTION DISCUSSED AND DECIDED. political cireles that the coming session of Lynchburg, Va., Oct. 24.—In the Vir- ginia Synod Jast night the complaint of Rey. T. P. Ramsay against the Abingdon Presbytery was decided. The first speci- fication was that the Presbytery had done the complainant personal wrong in con- demning him without trial, and on this point the vote stood for sustaining the complaint four, for not sustaining it, one hundred and sixteen. On the charge that the action of the Presbytery in condemn- ing Ramsay’s view, that Dr. Woodrow’s theory of evolution is not contradictory of the Scripture’s was unnecessary and prgudicial to the Church. Three mem- be’s voted to sustain the complaint, three tosustain it in part, and one hundred and thrty-seven not to sustain it at all. Thus Rumsay was defeated on all points. Great iterest was manifested in the proceedings d@ the Synod by all denominations of Christians, the doctrines of evolution nev- a have been accepted or preached in this ftate before. The whole session has been ‘aken up with this trial. Ramsay, after ais defeat, and in a voice trembling with emotion, announced that but two courses of procedure seemed open to him: First, to renounce the jurisdiction of the South- vestigated.

The rice-growers seem to have carried their point before Secretary Manning with reference to the duty on rice. The trouble appears to have been a simple and systematic violation of the law on the More than one-third the total importation of rice has been sworn through the custom house as granulated rice, on which the duty is nominal, as an unenu- merated manufactured article. Now it is shown that there is and can be no such thing as granulated rice. All rice is more or less broken and the importers have, during the last year or two, been apply- ing the term granulated rice to any rice the authorities would permit to be so des- ignated and have been reaping the benefit involved in the false designation. The planters have simply desired that this in- iquity should Le stopped and having point- ed out the evision of the law, they will be gratified ly a requirement of’ strict compliance inthe future. ~~ “What is ecucation 2?” asked a writer. “Well, it is something a college graduate thinks he has intil he becomes a newspa- per man. ‘Tha he has to begin all over again.” are ASK YOUR DRUGGIST whether Shri- ners Indian Vamifuge is really an article of merit and waether it will destroy and expel worms.

Last Saturday an unusually busy throng of people were on the streets. Farmers from all parts of the county were here. Some sixty-tive bales of cotton were brought in. Mrs. McCubbins, wife of J. S.

A gentleman from a neighboring city spent a day in Salisbury this week. After viewing some of the improve- ments going on he remarked: “If Salisbury is not on a boom then IJ don’t know the definition of the term.” Tue Bryov Opera Co. are among the attractions at Charlotte during fair week.

He is a practical, systematic | man, and the Star is to be congratula- ted on geiting so competent a man. There was a novel if not interest- ing show here on last Saturday. It was a stuffed calf with two heads and four in front, with one body and two hind feet. An alligator ~ fresh from lake Waccamaw, this State. was the other attraction. The magnificent band performing in front of the paint- ed “pictur” consisted of alarge and small drum. The addition of a fife would have completed the exasperation of those in the immediate vicinity, and driven them to well, the show has gone andthe place need not be de- scribed. | + LEeL ui All Night. One of our town devotees to the terpsicorian muse attended a dance near the six mile tank in this county, last week. He left at one o'clock, but happening to pass that way next morn- ‘Ing about nine, he was surprised to ear the music and dancing still going on. He entered and found a few couples keeping lazy time to the sleepy music. The eyes of the fiddler were )closed, and his head lay carelessly on the fiddle he was sawing. The visitor touched him. His eyes came slowly } open, and as he discovered who troub- iled his dreams, he exclaimed: “Fore de jlawd! is you heah yit?

A number of friends from the surrounding country and from Salisbury attended and enjoyed the magnificent repast served just after the ceremony. The happy pair have the best wishes of the WatcuMan. —-———~-e- To Subscribers. Some of the subscribers of this pa- per are under the impression that Mr. Jas. McKenzie, our canvassing and collecting agent, is collecting as an officer of the law. This is not true. While Mr. McKenzie is a Deputy Col- lector, for the Sheriff, that has noth- ing to do with his collecting for the Watcuman. There are some accounts of long standing on our books that will be collected by law, but Mr. Me- Kenzie is only acting as agent at pres- ent. ——__ +s Horses Stolen. The Messrs. G. A. and R. C. Peeler, hitched their horses in the vacant lot in rear of Beall, Bost & Foard’s Tobac- co Warehouse on last Saturday even- ing. One rode horse back and the oth- er wasdnvinga buggy. They had some trading to do, and when they had finished and returned for their horses they were surprised to find that they had been stolen. ‘The horse and buggy was found on Sunday morning | some four miles from town on States- ville road, at large, but the saddle horse has not yet been heard from. ~~ ___—_ Took it for the Jail. An intelligent gentleman, and a prominent Presbyterian, by the way, was in Salisbury last week and very naturally looked up the church. When he got in the neighborhood he thought he must be mistaken and so enquired : “This is the jail, I suppose?” point- ing to the little square session house in the corner of the church yard. The passing citizen replied: “No, sir, that is the @€ssion house.” “I thought it must be the jail, as it is so near the court-house.” It does not require a stretch of im- agination to conjecture the Presbyteri- an church building a court-house, for its exterior is anything but churchly in appearance. There is considerable talk among the members of the con- gregation favoring the building of a new church. Why not? The church should keep abreast of the progress of the times. a ee Cotton Factory. Mr. J. D. McNeely reports progress in the cotton factory enterprise. He says that the farmers are taking hold, and that it is likely to become a farm- er’s movement. The idea now seems to be for the farmers to take the whole matter in hand. Some prominent farm- er in each township will be requested to open lists for enrolling stock, and when enough is taken, these farm- ers will meet and organize, electing proper and skilled persons to take charge. This looks like the right way to do it. Mr. McNeely invites farmers who are interested to call and see him. He will gladly talk the matter over with them, giving them the advantages to be derived in detail. The advanced price on stained cotton alone, he says, will pay a good percentage on the amount invested. The mill would use up all the stained cotton in making unbleached goods, and would save the farmer the sacrifice he is obliged to make in disposing of this grade of cot- ton. Mr. McNeely says that he has already an offer of five or ten acres in the edge of town as a gift, on which the factory may be built. There is something in this scheme, and the farmers of the county are the men to work it up, since the benefits must accrue largely to them. _ nae Pavements. The commissioners of our lively neighboring town, Winston, have pass- ed an ordinance making it obligatory on property owners to pave with brick the streets in front of their property, in the central part of the town. If the owner does not do it in a preserib- ed time, the work is done by the town at the expense of the owner, and should payment be refused it is collected out of the property. That looks like something! Real live men have a good hold of Winston and they will make a town of it. Why not lay hold here ? The town of Salis- bury is not burdened with debt, and the property owners, as a rule, are am- ply able to lay a brick pavement around their property! Good judgment is displayed in select- ing brick for walks. hey make a du- rable, easy walking pavement, and when laid with care make a beautiful street. The centre or business part of town should always be paved, and brick is better than stone for this purpose, be- cause of their yielding, or seeming elas- ticity. The fact that the streets of Salisbury are being repaired with dirt, quasi- gravel, where once there were brick pavements, is to be deplored. The ma- terial that is being used is good for the side streets, and makes a fair walk, but in the business part of town, (and it is sufficiently compact to justify the work ) neat, durable pavements should be laid. Winston is right in making the laying of good pavements compulsory. Will the commissioners of Salisbury inaugu- rate the work ? Will they take the of September. lead in this important matter? Prof. Geo. B Hanna, of the Charlotte mint was here this week visiting some of the mining localites in Rowan. Johnston Mine. This property has been sold to New York parties, through the instrumen- tality of Mr. S. B. Vial, who made the report. It is located in Mecklenburg Co. Gold Knob. Mr. Frank Williams has closed a lease with Mr. J. G. Callback, of New York, allowing him to work the Gold Knob mines for a term of three years. Russell Mine. The London Mining Journnl reports that the directors of this mine announce that the first shipment of bullion from the mines was made the first week in October. Brady Mine. Mr. J. A. Brady, of this county, has opened several new localities on his farm -which indicate the presence of strong metalliferous veins.

Big Sawing. Mr. J. D. Stewart has his three por- table saw mills in active operation all the time. He has one two and a half miles northeast of town on the railroad, another about the same distance from Mocksville, in Davie county, and the third is three miles from Salisbury on the Gold Hill road. The mill in Davie is engaged to saw about 300,000 feet of lumber for T. B. Bailey, Esq. When this is done the mill goes to the “point” in Davie,( where the waters of the Worth and South Yadkin join,) where it will saw lumber for two new dwellings, a large tobacco store-house and other outhouses, for Capt. Stewart, who lives there. He has just completed the order for the lumber and shingles for the new Jericho church in Davie county, and has orders from Mr. Bob Allen, also of that county, for 60,000 feet of lumber and 30,000 shingles. Mr. Stew- art says it will take a year to catch up with his orders for lumber. This shows what a man with push and determina- tion can do. Mr. Stewart has also just delivered about 10,000 feet of white and post oak lumber on Grant’s Creek, on the old Mocksville road. It is to be used in the construction of a new bridge over that stream. ease Miss Rumple at Charlotte. Miss Lina Lee Rumple, the most famous pianist in the Southern States, arrived in the city yesterday and is the guest of Mrs Wim. Atkinson. A great deal of interest has been manifested in her forthcoming concert in Floral Hall, and a great crowd will be present to hear it. The piano re- be retained. He isa thoroughly re- liable and efficient man, and has been assistant for a number of years. Mica~-New Localities. Mr. C. W. Edgecombe while on a prospecting tour through Granville, franklin and Warren counties, recent- ly, discovered a very fine mica deposit. from which he says he took out blocks that would square 10 inches. Other deposits were also discovered in the vicinity; so that it would appear that this valuable mineral is not confined to the more Western counties of the State, but that mining for it may become a valuable industry in other portions of the State. —~—>>-_- ——_ Sam Christian Mine. Mr. Chas. Armstrong, Superinten- dent of the Sam Christian placer mine was here this week to an contract for the hauling of twenty-five tons of machinery tothe mines. It the “progressive amalgamator” of the South- ern Mining and Manufac:uring Com- pany of N.J., that they are putting in. He is very confident that the machinery that this company are put- ting in is just what is needel. since the main feature is the great economy of water, the scarcity of which has always been the main draw back to the property. 1S aa ys Southern Gold Mining and Manufactur- ing Company. An organization has recently been perfected at Patterson, N. J., for the purpose of manufacturing and work- ing the new patents of ‘I’. C. Simonton and J. L. Heywood. in the States of North and South Carolina and Geor- gia. They expect to have one of their placer plants in operation by the mid- dle of November on the Sam Chris- tian property in Montgomery county. They have machinery in suceessful operation in New Mexico, and they Hine if equally successful in N.C. they will revolutionize mining in this State. eee The Crowell Mine. The Crowell Gold Mine Co., was sold at public auction at Albemarle, Stanly county on Monday for $1000. The Concord gold mining company were the purchasers.—Concord Register. The Crowell mine in Stanly county has been for some time under a cloud. But that the Compen: would be sold at public vendue, was « -'.j) not antiei- pated by those who have veen watching the changes in the management. But seriously, it isa case that needs to be looked after by the original stockhold- ers of the Crowell Gold Mining Com- pany. The Concord papers do not say who or what the Concord Gold Mining Company is, but the impression obtains that it is an organization made for the ovcasion. ae ee Thanks. Among the personal and general notes of the New Orleans Picayune of Oct. 24th, is found the following bit of “news”: ‘Among the commissioners to be ap- poms by the Governor of North Caro- ina, to the Exposition in London, to rep- resent the products of that State, is one to look after the mineral exhibits. For that place Capt. T. K. Bruner is warmly recommended.

Observer. is Re eae Aluminum. “This metal can take the place of al- most every other metal in the world, and very largely that of wood also. In the first place it is very strong. Its tensile strength is more than three tons to the square inch greater than those of the best Bessemer steel. In fact, it is by far the strongest metal known. A cannon made ofit would be three times as strong as one made of steel or gun metal. It is very still or rigid, too: three times-as rigid us the best of bronze. Another important thing is that it will not tarnish. Neither air, nor water, nor salt, nor acids, nor corrosive gases have the slightest eftect upon it. Neither does intense heat change its color. It is the best conductor of heat known in the world, also of electricity. It would make the best telegraph wires in the world, having twice the conduct- ing power of copper, with only a third of its weight, and lasting practically forever. {tis very ductile, and can be drawn into wire more easily than almost any other metal. Moreover, it is easily worked, either hot or cold. It is suitable for any- thing that iron or steel or copper or brass or bronze or gold or silver is used for, from the wheels of a watch to a monster steam engine. In weight, compared with other metals, it is by far the lightest; lighter, indeed, than many hard woods. It is little more than one-third the weight of cast iron. To be exact, a cubic foot of aluminum weighs only 166 pounds. The same sized block of east iron weighs about 451 pounds; of wrought iron, 487 pounds; of copper, 5544 pounds; of lead, 709 pounds; of brass, 523 pounds, and of gold about 1,200 pounds. In brief, it is the lightest, easiest worked, strongest, most durable, and generally most valuable ofall metals.” +e Greatest Prairie Fire Ever Known in Texas. Fort WortTH, TEXx., October 24.—Re- ports reached here last night from Claren- don, Donley county, and other points up in the Pan Handle section, of the most devastating prairie fires ever known in this State. Itis believed that the num- ber of acres burned over, will approach 500,000. The country in which the fires are raging, extends from Canadian River, one hundred milessouth. Ji is impossible as yet to give an idea of the individual losses, : In some places the cowboys were oblig- ed to ride into the lakes to save them- selves. Judse Brown, of Clarendon, was severely burned while endeavoring t. save his summer crop of millet which was destroyed, Fully one fourth of his range was also destroyed. ——_ +s Elections for this Year.

The Subject of ‘Race Prejudices.” The North American Review for No- , vember has an interesting paper contri- buted by “Gail Hamilton” on the subject of Race Prejudice. It seems that the Con- gregationalist denomination, along with the Home Missionary Society and the American Missionary Association, is seek- ing toestablish churches at the South having mixed congregations, and “all the churches which they will aid at the South must be open tothe black and white without distinction. They will have mix- ed churches or none.” Gail Hamilton goes for this position without gloves. We quote: “It is just as christian to gather the blacks in one church and the whites in another as it is to gather the blacks in one family and the whites in another. If the races are providential, the race line is providential. If it is God who made the white man white and the black man black, it is God who made each choose to consort with his own.’’ ‘‘No one man or one age can see the outcome of the large movements of all the ages. Whether or how long the race line is to be perpetua- ted we do not know. We do know it ex- ists. Thus far it is not the separation of the races, but the intermingling of the races that has brought disaster.”” We may not quote further,but there is much sound philosophy pervading the brief article, which reads much as if it had come from the pen of some thoughtful Southerner. Indeed, the chief criticism we would {make uponitis that the subject ought | not to be considered under the head of 'Race Prejudice.” There is some race prejudice at the South, and we doubt not | that there is at the North; but that has’ | butt little to do with the philosophy of our situation. The idea involyed would per- haps be more accurately expressed by substituting the words ‘ta realization of ’ / racial differences” for “race prejudices. The word prejudice carries with it a sin- ister meaning, involving the idea of a 'want of fairness. Now, although there is doubtless some “race prejudice’ here jas wellas elsewhere, yet it has little force atthe South compared with the | greater force of the recognition of social | differences, which carries with it no idea | whatsoever of a want of fairness, but is entirely consistent with good faith, kind- ly relations, fairness of treatment and just judgment. Race prejudice cannot ; exist Without showing itself and it is sel- dom seen at the South except when de- | veloped along with high wrought politi- ical prejudice. On the sabsidence of the latter the former also subsides; so that when a community is no longer greatly ;moved by the passions of a political ist rugegle, the race prejudice is not percep- /tible. In anormal state of society it is ‘not observable; and yet a recognition of | people. It does not un- kindness or “prejudice” at all, but rather the reverse, for weshould say it is the social force which makes the relations between individuals more kindly at the South than in any other country in the | world.—Raletgh Obzerver. eee Washington Notes. {Editor Hussey to Patriot. ] The taste of Brink's blood has whet- ted Congressman Bennett's appetite for more Republican gore. He wants the scalp of the Concord postmaster, and believes that he will get it soon. Col. Means has returned to the scene of the contest. Bennet’s Baltimore speech has given Means the blues. C. N. Vance, son of Senator Vance, will receive an appointment in the in- ternal revenue service. It is understood that District Attor- ney Busbee will recommend E. A. Woodson, of Wilson, for Assistant At- torney of the Eastern District. R. P. Waring gets the Charlotte mint appointment. ‘[his has been evident for some time. Charles R. Jones, edi- tor of the Observer, and Dr. Wilder were also applicants. Outside opinion favored the editor's appointment, but Senator Vance and Congressman Ben- nett did not see it that way. Captain Waring has grown venerable in the mubhic service and the change in the ea of the mint from “Daddy” Cowles will be a welcome one. When the ap- pomntment was first mentioned to the President by one of the applicants he looked surprised and said he had never heard of the place before. The matter has been called to Secretary Manning's attention frequently since then, and he talks as familiarly of Charlotte people as if he was one the signers of the Mc- Nitt resolutions of °76. The President is more familiar with the na:ne of Concord, an adjacent town. ‘The postoifice at that place is now the one bone of contention in the State. It has assumed an interesting triangular aspect. Senator Vance recommends parson Smith, Congressman Bennett urges Capt. Brown, Senator Ransom is neutral, Col. Means and the Adminis- tration sustains Miss Dusenbury, the present incumbent. As long as the Administration and Col. Means pull to- gether Miss Dusenbury willstay. The pressure is very strong and the Admin- istration will hardly be able to with- stand it long. For the present Miss Dusenbury is solid. It is the unexpect- ed however, that happens here, as else- ' where, and any day the face of brother Smith or Capt. Brown may decorate the stamp window of the Concord post- office. Theo.

There is no bet- ter Democrat, and ne beter party man in the State. Bason is an Alamace man and is considered a bright lawyer. Senator Ransom has recently break- fasted with the President and dined with Secretary Bayard. His radiant face, which at times becomes profound- ly mysterious, shows that “something isup.” It may be Judge Fowle’s ap- pointment or it may be something else. At any rate he is still here, and is quite busily engaged. This will not be ques- tioned when it is known that the fall races failed to attract such a lover of thoroughbreds. A high Treasury official was asked the other day why so few Southern men had been appointed to the posi- tions in the departments not embraced in the civil service law. “You South- ern fellows are not used to work,” he poet-emperor, Lord Byron; that con- summate sea-yarn writer, Capt. Mar- att; that classic: ocean novelist, Jas. Fenimere Cooper; all these, and a hun- dred others, all passed their immortal pen-work, glittering with a prismatic splendor and flashing with electric ra- pidity before the mirror of memory, and so crowded the reflective medium, that I became fairly dizzy with de light. I saw Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday boating round their island; the hero of deep-sea journeys down among the mermaids and fishes; Byron, pacing the vessel's deck, and exclaiming: ‘‘Roll on, thou dark and deep blue ocean, roll!” and the buccaneers of the Spanish main piling up their ill-gotten gold in rocky islet caves. I saw the battles of great natives, the sinking ships and the triumphant flags floating high above the dispersed smoke of the guns. J saw horrid storms and heavenly calms and the white-caps flocking like sheep be- fore the evening winds. I saw the white hunters land on the coast of Africa, and in a week become Kings among the natives, because they shot the lions that had eaten the poor devils up systematically from child. hood. All this I saw, and it was not a tithe of what I did then and do yet see. ee A Tilt on the Tariff Question. “Julia, I don’t see why you are going to marry Harry Basecomb.

A group of North Carolinians were discussing the Administration. Sena- tor Ransom happened along and joined the crowd. Said the Senator witha good deal of fire and vehemence: “You criticise the Administration because it does not turn out the Republicans fast enough. Have you said one word in praise of what the Administration has done? Has it occurred to you what has been done for North Carolina? Do you know that your State 1s represeated on four continents? You have a minister in Brazil, a minister in Africa, repre- sentatives in England and Japan. When ever before in the history of the State i‘has this been the case? Can you point to a solitary Republican in North Car- olina who has not been removed or who cannot be removed, or whe. retention in office is the fault of + © Admin- istration?

Mr. Bruton, of Reidsville, who at that mo- ment joined the group, the Sevator said, “Mr. Bruton, what do the people —not the office seekers--at home think of the Administration?” Mr. Bruton replied, without hesitation, “the people so far as I know, and [ hear a good deal of talk, regard it with the highest favor, The complaint that is heard comes from those who have been disap- pointed in getting office. Otherwise President Cleveland is regarded asa wise, safe, conscientious and capable man. I have nothing to do with poh- tics and don’t want to be quoted, I lave simply answered your question.” “Now,” says Senator Ransom, proudly turning on one of the “kickers,” you have an honest opinion about the Ad- ministration from an honest, truthful man.” ‘The “kickers” dispersed.

B., and H. 5D. Battie, B.S., chemists in the North Carolina Agricul- tural Experiment Station, Raleigh, is the title of a new work which has just been published here in our midst. The volume affords relief from the tedious and time consuming calculations nesessary to con- vert the result of each separate determina- tion in a fertilizer analysis into the custo- mary per cent. Calculations which be- fore required thirty minutes to complete cin now be done in almost as many sec- onds. To show that it is appreciated abroad it is only necessary to state that notwith- standing the fact that it has only been published a few months it is now used in the laboratories of the United States De- partment of Agriculture at Washington, the Department of Agriculture of Virginia, the Experiment Station of Connecticut, the North Carolina Experiment Station, Wesleyan University, Vanderbilt Univer- sity, the Southern Medical College, the Navassa Guano Co., Stono Phosphate Co., Michigan Carbon Works, and many others, aswell as by many eminent private chem- ists throughout the United States. Itisa vade mecum for the chemist. The Regis- ter welcomesit asaproof that our young men who have chosen science as a profes- sion are giving to the world practical re- sults of careful study, and are making for themselves and thereby for the State re- putations at least equal to those of their fellows in the great centres and in the great co!leges and universities. It is to- be hoped that this is only the beginning of their contributions to the advance- ment of science.—Ralecigh Register. PUBLIC SALE OF VALUABLE PROPERTY.

Private Secretary Lamont will vote in Cortland county, The Secretary of the Treasury will vote in Albany and Secretary. Whitney in New York city. They will return to Washington on Wednesday, and the Cabinet meeting will be held as usual on Thursday. Mr. Cleveland had many requests to linger a while in New Yor 1 2 election, but he planned this voting trip so as not to neglect public business any longer than was necessary. When he returns he will begin work on his message to Congress, the first message from a Democratic President since 1860, and a message which the whole civilized world will await with interest. More than for any other reason the President issued the order excluding himself from office-seekers for the purpose of giving himself time to prepare this message. He does not expect to deny himself to Sena- tors and Representatives while Congress is in session, and he hopes by this month of seclusion also to get ready for his win- ter’s work with them. The ehief object of Senators and Members in going to the White House is to seek patronage, ands should they not be be permitted to dis- cuss this subject, they would have but little motive for visiting the President. The Cabinet oflicers are also secluding themselves as much as possible for the rpose of preparing their annual report*, Reis certain that the Administration will take very positive grounds on financial uestions. Mr. Manning, and the new U.S. Treasurer, Mr. Jordan, will recom- mend in their reports the suspension of silver coinage. Mr. Jordan expects to show in his report that $45,000,000 have already been lost in the attempt to force silver into circulation.

[Baltimore Manufacturers’ Record.] In the Manufacturers’ Record of May 28, 1885, there was published an interesting and valuable article oe ee Pines,” written especia or this paper by Mr. T. K. Benner tat lisbury, N Cc. In the October number of Dixie is an ar- ticle on ‘The Growth of Pine in North Carolina,” over the autograph signature of Mr. Charles H. Wells, that is a verba- tim reprint of portions of Mr. Bruner’s article. There is not an original idea in it. The “writer” of it has simply picked out certain paragraphs and used them without change, not adding a thing ex- cept the opening paragraph of 7 or 8 lines True, he mentions Mr. Bruner incidentally, but not in a way to lead anyone to suppose that he had quoted the article or any part of it. It is published as his own production. We have abstained heretofore from calling at- tention to Dixie’s vagaries in this direc- tion. As each successive issue has ap- peared with two entire departments, “Dixie’s Resources,” and ‘‘Dixie’s Devel- opment,’’ made up largely of matter tak- en bodily from the Manufacturers’ Reoord, we have smiled, but said nothing. But we felt obliged ta point out this last case of plagiarism. “The editor of Dixie not only appropriates without credit the pro- perty of this paper, but publishes the ar- ticle over his own signature, thereby an- nouncing himself the author of it. ‘The article in question was publish- ed in the WatcHMAN of June 4th, ’85, and duly credited to the Record. It was written from New Orleans last May. Why the See editor of a literary magazine would be guilty of so “little” a thing is hard to compre- hend.

The front wall of the “Iron Sides” warehouse would present a better ap- pearance, if extended a few feet above the roof with a square finish. This is merely a suggestion. Any finish given to it will be such an improvement on the late edifice, which so long disgraced Main Street, that it will prove satis- factory. Mr. Eh Moose, formerly a citizen of Salisbury, was a year or more ago per- manently disabled—caused by injuries sustained in a smash up on the Shen- andoah Valley Rail Road. He brought suit for damages, and at a recent term of Superior Court, held at Lexington, Va., got judgment forthe sum of $38,000. Macadamizing or paving the streets should claim the attention of the citi- zens of Salisbury at once, while an in- exhaustible supply of stone can be had 'for amere song.

He had stolen /a cow from Mr. Sam Cozort and was | doing tall running to prevent capture. |} As he ran down the street every body, feven dogs of high and low ‘degree, joined in pursuit. The yelling and ex- ‘citement grew more intense when the officers began to shoot at the fleeing /hegro. After some nine shots had _been fired at him he was caught by officer G. H. Shaver, near the edge of town. He was an extraordinary run- ner and made the jolliest race that has occurred here since the “Patroll” used Court-house and Park. | The condition of the Court-house and surroundings certainly deserve the ,attention of those entrusted with the The numerous lights about the depot Report of Graded Schools. Rev. Mr. Murdoch, Secre of the School Committee, kindly furnishes the following report : WHITE—2)D MONTH SCHOOL YEAR, 1885-86 1884-85 1883-84 Enrollment 290 296 285 Av. attendance 214.2 2343 228 COLORED—1ST MONTH SCHOOL YEAR, Enrollment Av. attendance 114 75.6 103 75 o-—_——— The Graded School. At a meeting of the School Commit- tee on Tuesday afternoon an investiga- tion was made with regard to the boy who was hurt at the Graded School last week. After a full inquiry it was unanimously decided that neither the Principal nor Prof. Overman should be ined and that it was by an accident that the boy was hurt. This is ample vindication of Mr. Overman’s course, and from what the reporter has learned since in regard to the facts, it is correct. The informa- tion which occasioned the first notice was gathered on the street and from a sight of the boy. The committee should arrange so as to preclude the possibili- ty of another accident of this character. The Graded Schools are to have a holiday on the 26th—thanksgiving day. ———37—$e__-_—_—— Case of Desertion. It is an old saying: “Marry in haste and repent in leisure,” and how ofterr in life is thetruth of the saying ob- served. A Mr. Vernon, something of an rtinerant phrenologist,—a traveled Englishman—took up a _ temporary abode in Davie county, in the “Fork country” and finally persuaded Miss Mary Hencae. one the young ladies of the neighborhood, to marry him. Last week they started off together and at Greensboro, Vernon left his wife, as he said, to return to Salisbury to collect some money. When she next heard from him, he was in Goldsboro, and wrote to the effect that “about the best thing she could do was_ to go back to her father.” Her father met her here afew days since and took her home. He, unworthy wretch, is stealing off, probably to entice some other confi- ding woman to a like fate. Mr. Hendrix, who is a well-to-do farmer, feels much outraged that such villainy should be practiced cn a mem- ber of his family. His neighbors are also indignant. ee ee THE COTTON FACTORY. Mr. J. D. McNeely is still pushing the cotton factory scheme. ‘The far- mers seem to take to ihe idea very well, and the prospect seems fair for success. In order to expedite mutters, it is sug- gested that the following named gen- tlemen, and any others who may de- sire, start subscription lists in their respective townships: Mt. Ulla, Jesse W. Miller, J. M. Harrison ; Steel, J. R. Davis, W. L. Kistler ; Scotch Inish, D. Fleming, Lyerly &+ Bro. ; Unity, Rice Bro. & Bailey, W. A. Thomason ; Franklin, A. M. Sullivan, Thos.

Everybody in Salisbury township is expected to work for it. The gentle- men named are requested to urge the importance of this matter on their neighbors. It can be made a profita- ble business. What do the farmers of Rowan say ? COUNTY AFFAIRS. The County Commissioners held their regular monthly meeting on last Mon- day. Routine business, auditing ac- counts, making allowances for the poor, ete., consumed much of the time. HIRING PRISONERS. For several years the Board have |been hiring out prisoners who were confined in jail for Court fines and costs. This plan at once relieves the county of the expense of feeding them, !and at the same time enables them to pay up their dues. THE KEEPER OF THE POOR reported that an average of twenty-six paupers were cared for at the poor ouse during the month of October. He presented an itemized statement of the expenses for maintaining them for the month. The aggregate amount to $48.19. There are twenty-nine paupers at the poor house now—twelve whites and seventeen negroes. TAX WARRANTS SERVED. Deputy Sheriff John Beard was in- structed and ordered to serve all tax warrants now in his hands for collec- tion. COURT HOUSE REPAIRS. Messrs. J. 8S. McCul bins, C. F. Ba- ker, and W. L. Kluttz were appointed as a committee to have all necessery repairs made on the cupola and roof of the Court-house at once, and to have all other necessary fepairs on the build- ing done at an early date.

Summerell reported as fol- {lows: “In reporting to you for the month of October, I have nothing new to say in regard to the poor house or jail. They remain in statu quo. The improvemonts soe amonth o are still in the womb of time, but I still hope that your honorable body will soon see your way Clear to make the improvements asked for. There has been no sickness amon, the prisoners of the jail, and thoug there are a goodly number of sick per- sons at the poor house, as usual, and though now and then one has died, yet we have cause to be glad that the death rate has not been greater. Considering the fact that only the diseased, the crippled, the halt and lame, and the aged constitute the number whom the county supports there, and the fact also that the means of treatment are not so good as they ought to be, yet under all the circumstances I cannot se¢ how we are to do better without the improve- ments brought to your mind in my last report. a I will state for the information of the Board that sa far as the city of Salisbury is concerned, we have great cause for rejoicing in the good health of the town. There bas been no white person interred in our gra¥eyards since the 7th of August, and only two or three colored persons.” REPORT OF FINANCES. The Committee on Finance, consist- ing of W. L.

SUMNER RESIGNS, Col. Thos. J. Sumner, Chairman of the Board, tendered the following: “Gentlemen:—I herewith tender my resignation as County Commissioner, and request its acceptance. I regret the necessity that induces this action, but I am advised to relieve myself of every posssble cause of mental exertion or excitement. In thus severing my connection with the Board, permit me to return my sincere thanks for the courtesy and consideration uniformly extended to me as its Chairman, and to say further- more that I carry with me the most pleasant recollections of our official in- tercourse, and the best wishes for the individual members of the Board.” REGRETS, The resignation was accepted by the Board to take effect on the first Mon- day in| December next. The Board collectively and individually expressed great regret in feeling obliged to do so. The general expression was tu the ef- fect that Mr. Sumner had made an able, faithful and devoted Commis- sioner and Chairman. and that it would be difficult to fill his place with so efficient a man. THE JUSTICES TO MEET. The Justices of the Peace of Rowan county are notified to meet at the Court-house in Salisbury, on Monday December 7th, 1885, for the purpose of electing a County Commissioner to fill the unexpired term of T. J. Sumner, resigned. . $3649.25 i - > ¢-e Raising Wheat. The Salisbury Watchman says: Capt. Fagg, of Asheville, (says the Country Homes, of that city) is preparing some land to make a heavy yield of wheat next year, and challenges any farmer in Bun- combe county to make more on one acre than he will. Wish the Capt. had ex- tended his challenge as far down the slope as Rowan. There are some far- mers in this county who are hard to beat on wheat, notably, J. M. Harrison, S. C. McLaughlin, Capt. J. R. Crawford, Wm. Lipe, J. 8. McCubbins, 8. R. Harrison, and several others. We hope some one of them will accept Capt. Fagg’s banter and show him that Rowan is a worthy contestant.’’ We take the liberty of extending the challenge so as to include Rowan and Catawba—both noted for their wheat production. Now for the contest. Three acres to be cultivated.—Asheville Citizen. Do you hear that, farmers of Rowan ? Now let us see what we shallsee. We hope the gentlemen named above, all of whom are public spirited, Hmbitious, and business men, will let Buncombe know that Rowan can hold her héad with the proudest of her sister counties. ee Young Men's Meeting. The Young Men’s Prayer Mecting, convenes at the Presbyterian Session room, every Wednesday evening, at 7 o’clock. A good library of Books and pa- pers is open for an hour after services, free to all.

I am directed by the State Board to say, as anumber of applicants for pensions have failed to furnish the additional tes- timony required of them through circular letters mailed to each several weeks ago from this department, that unless this testimony is furnished the Board on or before the 15th day of November next, their claims for a pensidn will not be con- sidered the present fiscal year. The Board is desirous that the appro- priniion ($30,000) should be apportioned efore the close of the fiscal year, Novem- ber 30, 1885, and to this end these proofs are necessary. W. P.

Haile Mine. . : At the Haile mine, in South Caroli- na, they are putting in the Blake sys- tem throughout.

They are in the same region and are the only mines of any pfominence at work in South Carolina at present. Woodrun Creek. This placer deposit, in Montgomery county, has been yielding some pretty gold recently. The gold found is much worn by continual washing in the stream, and is very pretty. Some good work has been done there recently. North Carolina Coal Fields. Thanks are due Hon. Montford Mc- Gehee, Commissioner of Agriculture, fora copy of Dr. H. M. Chance’s re- port on the N. C. Coal Fields. Dr. Chance has made a careful and ex- haustive report of these important fields. Reference will be made to the Report again as soon as_ its contents have been carefully gone over. Fisher Hill Mine. Supt. Wallace Nichols, of the Fisher Hill mines in Guilford county, is en- couraged over the result of his devel- opment at that place. They have re- cently cut a very rich vein of brown and sulphide ore, some four feet thick. This vein has been developed for twen- ty-five feet by a tunnel driven upon it, and it holds well all the way. They are now driving a tunnel from the 100 foot level to cut this new lode at a greater depth. Coggins Mine. The B. T. Coggins mine in Mont- gomery county, which was bought by some Enylish gentlemen a_ short time since, 18 being very carefully worked. The returns from a chillian mill are quite good, and, are of such a reliable nature as to induce the owners to put in aplant of machinery of greater capacity. The mine has not been de- pe to any great depth, but the in- dications, based upon the returns, which have been remunerative from the sur- face, amply justify this step by the owners. ‘The ore is an easy, free mill- ing quartz, in slate formation. TT. SET Ee SIE Bird Shooting. Mr. Editor: The recent popping of breech-loaders inand around my pene forcibly re- mind me of some well-timed and truthful remarks made by ‘‘Fogy Farmer” in the Watchman of the 22d ult. Sec. 2834 of the Code of N. Carolina makes it a misdemeanor for any one, be- tween the Ist of April and the 15th of Oc- tober to kill, shoot, ‘rap or net any par- tridges, quail, &c., under a penalty of a fine of $10.00. Again, in Sec. 2836 of the Code, it is made a misdemeanor for any one to take or destroy the eggs of par- tridgcs or quail, under a penalty of $50 fine, or 30 days imprisonment. Now it is evident that these Statutes were enacted ostensibly for the protec- tion of the birds, and with a view to the increase of the same. Then, fér what ultimate end were these statutes enacted? Was it that the owners of the lands where they abound, might, after their hard sum- mer’s work is over, have a little pleasant and profitable sport in shooting them?— No. Was it that the sons of those far- mers might have the pleasure of trappin and netting them, having an occasiona bird pie for dinner, or perhaps taking to Salisbury to sell to the citizens thereof, § thereby turning an honest penny?—No. It was for none of these things, the own- ers of the birds were not considered at all. There is, and always will be, a class of persons in, and around about all our towns and villages, generally drones, who do but little work for a livlihood, or per- haps rich swells and upstarts, or else, it is aset of Northern men,—foreigners, perfect strangers to us. This is the class of persons who claim the exclusive privilege of vee and bagging” the entire crop of partridges year after year, and the actual owners get none at all. Now, this is evidently all wrong, for like ‘“Fogy Farmer,’ I claim that the par- tridges on my farm, areas exclusively mine, as are my “barn yard fowls.” But, what are we to do? How will it be reme- died? The lawyers will tell you to “post your land,” and prosecute tres rs, Suppose you do post it, these bird shoot- ers are not looking for posters. They never see them. You hear them popping away at one point, one moment; you start for them to warn them oft, but they have changed places almost in a moment, they have followed in the wake of the dog who has followed the covey, and ten minutes later, you hear them pop, popping half a mile offin quite another quarter. You may run yourself down, and itis rarely you can ever catch up with them so as to either warm them oif, or even find out who they are!

In April, 1884, there appearaed on my feet and legs what the doctors called Sal: I tried a great many remedies, and had the received no permanent relief. The dis- limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finally induced to, try Swift’s Specific, aud after taking four bottles relief came. I contin- ued, however, until I had taken seven bottles, and am now sound and well, and not a sign of the discase left.

Wilks and old Bob La- man’s daughter Rose were lovers. Young Henry did the shaving and hair cutting for the neighborhood. He is as black as Dore’s illustration of the smoke arising from Dante’s Inferno; but, regardless of this great gift, he is modestand unassum- ing. Roseis a fat girl, and her nose would be recognized anywhere in Central Africa as belonging to the aristocracy of that country, yet she is not proud, neither is she boisterous of manner. It was known throughout the community that the young couple were engaged, and it was also known that old Bob, on the day of mar- boiled steer and the best whisky that could possible be drawn from the-still the day before. One evening when young Henry had called Rose, he said: ‘‘Darlin,’ I’se got some powerful good news fur yer.”’ .“Gin it ter me, quick.” “Dat’s what Dll do. Ter-day er rich cullud gennerman whut owns er big bar- I would come up dar he would gin me work. Hesaid dat it wouldn’t take laung fur me ter git on ter all de fine tricks, an’ he tole me dat J could make money han’ ober fis. Now, darlin’, I has ’cluded ter go up dar an’ take de 'vantage o’ all dese things.”’ Rose’s countenance had changed, and, with troubled air, she sat in deep medita- tion. Presently she said: ‘Henry, Idoan like dem ’rangements, an’ I doan thank no town nigger fur comin’ down heah an’ stuffin’ yer bead full o’ fool notions.” “Wy honey, whut’s de matter wid yer?” do. Yer’ll go up dar an’ furgit me.” Young Henry violently smote his breast and exclaimed: ‘‘When I furgits yer, I hopes dat dis hear heart won’t beat no mo’.” “Oh, dat’s de way yer talks now, but yer’ll change yer chune arter er while.” I woan do no sich thing. Ill lub yer ez laung ez I libs. Yas, Pll lub yer launger den dat. W’y jes’ think how nice it will be, libin’ in er fine house up dar, an’, when dese country niggers sces yer da’ll say, "Hump, jes, look at de fine dress dat han’some lady has got on.” Dat’s what da’ll say when da sees yer.” Rose smiled. The picture pleased her. “Will it be dat way, Henry?” she af- fectionately asked. “It will be jes’ like I tells yer, only er heap better.” ‘*When yer gwine?” ‘“*Ter-mor’.”’ “An’ will we habter put offde weddin’?”’ Only fur er week er two.”’ ‘Ain’ gwine carry on wid none o’ dem town gals, is yer?” “No, honey, Iain’. I ’spizestown gals. It makes me sick ter look at ’em.” ‘An’ will yer come down ter sce me ebery few days?”’ “Yas, honey, fur I kain't keep erway frum yer.” Larly the next morning, young Henry took his departure. Rose was disposed her. <A few days later, young Henry visited her. He liked his position, and had much to tell his sweetheart. With an air of victory, he told how he had shaved the Governor and cut the Secreta- ry of State’s hair. Alas! ‘This sad story must now enter upon the beaten track of love’s perfidy. Young Henry ceased to visit Rose. She wrote tohim. He showed her letter to the other barbers, laughed, slapped him- self, andstruck a step in shuffling accord with a banjo which a boy was picking in the back room. One day, when there were no customers in the shop, one of the barbers asked:— “Henry, whut come o’ dat fat country gal dat uster hang roun’ yer?” Just then Rose, who had slyly entered the back room, peeped into the shop. ‘““Which one does yer mean?” inquired Henry. ‘Dar wuz er whole possul arter me.” ‘“T means de one dat’s got a nose likea toad fraug. De one da calls Rose.”’ “‘Oh, she’s down inde country, greebin’ ez us’a’l.”’ “Oughter be ershamed o’ yesse’f, mak- in’ dat fat nigger shed all dem tears.” “Tain’t my fault. Efer pusson gets stuck on my shape, I kain’t he’p it.” Rose made a motion enjoining silence on the part ofthe boy who had been pick- ing the banjo, and, with increased thirst for revenge, she tightly grasped a hickory stick which she had brought with her from the country. ‘“Didn’ yer promise ter marry dat ugly ‘oman?’ the barber asked. . ‘‘Oh, yas,’”’ Henry replied, “I did sorter promise her, but dat wuz befo’ I cut my eye-teef.” “Whut yer reckon she'll say when she sees yer agin?”’ “She woan say much, but she’ll snuffle an’ cry er powerful sight. ‘Co’se I feels sorry fur her, but blame ’fI ken marry all de nigger gals I feels sorry fur. She oughter hab de stren’th—good Lawd! “Oh, T’se got de stren’th!’”’ Rose ex- claimed, as she advanced upon Henry, hemming him inacorner. ‘Oh, I’se got de stren’th, you black raskil!”’ Bin! “Oh, Lawdy!” Bim! “Oh, Lawdy, I’m dead! Teke her er- way, Jim; take hererway! Oh, Lawdy, I,se dead agin! Take her erway ’fore I insults her. Oh, she’s got me er gin!”’ “Now den,’* said Rose, as she stood surveying the battered head of her treach- erou8 lover, “Ill Parn yer how ter talk erbout er pusson sheddin’ tears. Keep still, ur Fl gin yer some mo’. Oh, I ain’ fat fur nuthin’, an’ I’se allus got plenty o’ stren’th on han’. When yer wants ter sce er little stren’th, jes’ let me know, an’ I’ll call on yer.

In former years there were not so many voting places in Rowan as now, and more than half of the votes in the county were polled at the boxes in Salisbury. Elec- tion day was, therefore, the occasion of a very large gathering in Salisbury, and not infrequently a very boisterous day. In those times there were customs in yogue which have passed away, and of which the present generation have no One of these was the great abundance of spirituous liquors provided for the crowd of voters who came to town to vote and participate in the excite- ments usually attendant upon those oc- casions. There were more licensed liquor vastly cheaper_and more easily obtained. Whisky, peach and apple brandy, cider and cider royal were the most common cents per quart, and cheaper still by the gallon. They were not only obtainable at the licensed shops, but from country were always early on the ground, com- the court-house, which then stood in what is now known as the “public square,” where the voting They would back up within about twenty steps of the court-house, take down the hind gate of their wagon and prop it up so as to make a sort of ta- The barrels of liquor, cakes, apples, in- side the wagon with reference to conven- ience for drawing out and selling, it was but the work of tive minutes to get ready Here they would spend the whole day, some of them holding on until Almost everybody drank more or less, and many to excess.

Rimer, ‘Bullsnake Weaver,’ Ran. Watson, Coon and Mich. Fesperman, and John P. Rimer, the last still living, and in his old age one of the most peaceable citizens in the county, There were several others, not now namable, who were often forced into fights against their will, and generally bore off the laurels of victory. They were courageous and powerful men, and most of them had the good sense to de- spise the necessity of beating up a fellow man merely to prove that they could do it—These were the times and this the condition of society which gave rise to temperance societies. Many good citi- zens, deploring such a state of abounding dissipation and immorality, labored hard to arrest it, and it was long before they were able to make any perceptible im- pression. But the work—commenced here in 1s32—was continued with un- abating zeal until public sentiment final- ly crystalized against it, and we have it oO For Ask for it, and in- Don't be put off with Try it and you will be thankful for having had it brought to 4iAt, down to what it is at the present day. Under the old system the legal frater- nity had much more work to do, and made more money than under the -new. Whether or not this accounts for the fact. that lawyers, as a general rule, have not been leaders in temperance movements, the writer will not under- take to say. But it is noteworthy that wherever liquor drinking is prohibited, there indictments for disorderly conduct are few, courts are less expensive, and society least disturbed. By-GONE. <= a How to Make Good Coffee. You published from the Atlanta Constitu- tion a Georgia woman’s recipe for making coftee. It’s nonsense. Her cotfee is al- lowed to boil awhile. Thus she gets rid of the fine aroma and extracts the tannin, which is not healthful. Now, let any woman who has nota reputation for fine coffee try this recipe: Buy the best coffee and grind it to the consistency of corn meal. Into a French teapot put an ounce of coffee for every person. One pound of coffee will make sixteon cups and no more. Have everything clean, and as soon as the water in the kettle begins to boil moisten the coffee and leave it to soak and swell for three minutes; then ladda little more water; don’t be in a | hurry ; continue to add water until you have obtained not more than a large cof- fee cupful of the extract. If carefully ' done the entire virtue of the coffee will be in the cupful of liquor at the end of five minutes. For four persons use a quart of pure mik and have it piping hot; heat the large cups by pouring into them hot water; now divide the coffee into the four cups, each of which will be one- quarter full; fill with the boiling milk, the gods, of which no man after drinkin would be so base as to call fora estond cup. Such coffee cannot be had at any restaurant in New York. Hethat drink- eth it this morning will be unhappy if he fails to get it to-morrow morning. But these instructions must be followed to the letter.—C. D, L. in N. Y. Times, This is pure breakfast coffee, the coffee of COURT CALENDAR.

George Brinton McClellan of heart disease at his home in Orange, N. J., yesterday, removes one of the most conspicuous, accomplished, and interesting public men of the country. He was a native of Philadelphia, and had nearly completed his fitty-ninth year. From his youth he was marked with distinction, and when he gradua- ted from the military academy at West Point in_ 1846 he was made an officer in the e/ite corps, the engineers. In the Mexican war he won two brevets, mea to observe the operations of the allied war against een later he left the army, and became chief engineer of the Illinois Central Railroad.

He achiev- ed such success in some comparatively unimportant engagement in western Virginia that he received the thanks of Congress, and directly after the battle Army of the Potomac. Three months later, on Nov. 1, 31861, when Gen. Scoot retired, he was appointed the commander of all the arnties of the United States. This office, however, he did not long exercise. Being reliev- ed of it with own consent, devoted himself to reorganizing and disciplin- ing the Army of the Potomac, and to preparing it fora decisive movement against the enemy. He took command of this army in the beginning of August, and in March, seven months afterwards, he began his active campaign in the peninsula of Virginia. e shall not here under- take to narrate the history of that tre- mendous and disastrous struggle, be- ginning with the seige of Yorktown and ending with the retreat to Har- rison’s Landing. It is enough to say that while it resulted in failure and in- volved animmense calamity to the Union cause, it was yet re.ieved by in- cidents of brilliant valor aj.d fortunate combination; and while McClellan must doubtless be held to a severe res- ponsibility, he enjoyed at the end of it to an extraordinary degree the con- fidence of his soldiers and the devoted friendship of the officers who had shar- ed with him the horrors, the misfor- tunes, and the glories of the campaign. + * * x * But we shall not diseuss the ques- tions beside the coffin of a gallant and patriotic soldier, who in his Coath ts more endeared to thousands of neri- cans than some others whose renown is not disturbed by criticim or ques- tion. —NV. Y. Sun. Se aN SNE nee Mahone and Sherman. Mahone will certainly not be return- ed to the United States Senate and Sherman will possibly not. ‘Dost like the picture?’ But why do we say Sherman will possibly not be returned, is it asked? Because as the Cleveland Plain Dealer says :*When the Senate convenes there will be no senators from Hamilton county holding legal certifi- cates. If the four Republicans present themselves they will not be sworn in. Without them there will be only sev- enteen Republican senators—less than a quorum—and they cannot organize the senate. The Democratic senators will never permit so gross a usurpation of authority to be carried out if it is undertaken, and they will not sit in the senate if it is attempted. The re- sult will be that the senate cannot or- ganize, the official vote cannot be can- vassed, no joint session can be held, no United States senator can be elected. and no law can be passed. To this state of affairs any attempt to make four Republican senators from Hamil- ton county by virtue of the action of a court must certainly come. This might as well be understood. If the Repub- licans think they have a case and that their men ought to be seated instead of the Democrats they can have every op- ortunity to prove it in the senate. But to that constitutional tribunal they must come. The Democrats ask noth- ing but what is right and lawful, but they will stand upon their mghts and maintain them. They will not submit to any revolutionary proceedings or any usurpation of authority in defiance of the constitution. This is a solemn fact that the gentlemen who are trying to work the courts for a partisan and unconstitutional purpose will do well to bear in mind now and save trouble further along.” There seem to be some pretty stout-hearted Democrats in Ohio as well as in New York, Vir- ginia and elsewhere. A Vermont Soldier on Foraker. Gen Foraker, the Governor elect of Ohio, said in the course of one of his bloody shirt harangues in New York : “The South does not want to fight. They got all they wanted 20 years ago. There was a time when they claimed a South Carolinian was four times as good as any Northern man. We chopped that out of them with the sabre, and punched it out of them with the bayonet.” This has not been answered from the South, probably because it is really beneath contempt, but it has called forth a response from the North, from Vermont and from a veteran of the Union army. This old soldier writes to the Portland Herald the follow- ing; “The writer was, fora time, a Union soldier, and has been an ardent Republi- can since the election of Lincoln, He has no sort of sympaihy with sentimental and artificial enthusiasin over the blend- ing of blue aud gray, when the right and the wrong of the great fight is lost to view ; but it docs grate harshly on an honest Union soldier’s ears who knows how splendidly the South spent its best blood like water, and endured every pos- sible sacrifice for their dreadful mistake, to read such words as those used by For- aker. The Vermont soldiers who saw Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg ; who saw even in Lee’s last retreat a handful of half-starved Confederates desperately charge Getty’s whole division at Sailor’s creek, know that no braver men ever stepped down to death than composed the armies of the South, and it is shame- ful to be always throwing their defeat in their faces. They saw our backs at Bull Run, at Gaines’ Mill, at Fredericksburg, at Chancellorsville and at Chickamauga, and they made a drawn battle with only 45,000 against 85,000 at Antietam ; and, while it is fair to say that they were wrong and that we were eternally right, it is low and vulgar and unchivalrous, at 20 years’ distance from their defeat, to twit them with our having chopped and punched the fight out of them. So we did, and it was right to do it; but it is mean to boast of it overa people whose courage made them worthy of all sol- dierly courtesy. Their valor is part of the proud record of the nation for courage and military hardihood ; they of Bull Run he was* ordered to Wash- ‘exacted two drops of blood for every ington and putin command of the one we drew from them; they never lence, hounds.” A Dangerous Measure. connection goes on to say: the tariff on imports as well as the In- ternal Revenue on farm dangerous, for as sure as the worl and sting like an adder. nations.

Dr. George Jeffrey, of Glasgow, plained the secret of his being able to interest the same audience so long. “I read every book that has a bearing upon my special work,” he said, “and make extvacts from it and index them, so that at any moment I can find them when wanted.

Danielin a recent speech said: ‘I am myself a red-hot rabid kind of Democrat, who has no unkind feelings on God's earth against any man because he isa Republican, but who believes in a Government of the people, by the people and for the people, and that when the Democrats have been sent into power by the people, Democrats ought to occupy all the chairs around the fireside. Ege ee “John is very kind to the poor,” said Mary ; “but after all it may be more for the sake of praise than doing good.” “Look here, Mary,” said her husband, ‘When you see the hands of our clock al- ways tight, you may be sure that there isn't much wrong with the inside works.” DE Good Cooking Will Tell. the habit of drink, and began to cook his food in liquor, having heard that it would prove effectual. He didn’t say anything the first day ; he showed no signs of no- ticing the change the second day, but af- ter supper on the third day he said to her: “Maria, you don’t know how you have improved in your cooking in the last three days.” Faith in Frinter’s Ink. The following remarks from the Ral- eigh Visitor are true: “Some persons imagine advertising does no good, but the prudent business man is of a very differ- ent opinion, Asa general rule the most suecesstul merchants are those who ad- vertise most extensively—and newspaper advertisements are considered the most valuable. Look in your own community business are, and you will find they are the ones who have faith in printer’s ink.” OS AE LEE TT ° Cancer Cured, About three years ago there appeared which gave me almost intolerable pain. They continucd to grow, and finally de- veloped into what the doctors called can- cer of the breast. Ina short time I found my strength gone and my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me for cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by this time was cat- ing out my very life, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature. About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift’s Specfic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won- derful. medicine has brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, 1am. perfectly free from pain, and feel like a new person altogether. I can not feel too grateful for this wonderful re- covery, for I am satisfed if it had not been for Swift’s Specific I would have been in my grave to-day.

With unfeigned sorrow our people will receive this sad news. Judge Me- Kov was highly esteemed as a man and as Judge by all who knew him.| He died at his home in Sampson coun- ty on the 11th instant. Kew judges have impressed our people more favora- bly. His evident fairness and caution on the bench won for him the confi- dence of all who had opportunities to observe’ him. His death will be de- plored by the people of the State. ——— Cabarrus and Stanly Railroad vs The Yadkin Railroad. The railroad question is assuming such shape as to require action. The town of Salisbury needs the road and the attention of the business men are directed to the following: Andif this Railroad is not supported by our peuple and the one from Salisbury to Wadesboro, via Albemarle, is built, as it surely will be unless the Cabarrus and Stanly R. R. gets ahead, then good bye to Concord, she will be left high and dry. This is froma lony article in the Concord Register. They have made a preliminary survey from Concord to Albeinarle and are now appealing to the people of Stanly to help build the road. They have an organized scheme and are working to carry it out. Where will Salisbury be @ft, should Concord secure this road? That's the nut for the Salisbury business man to crack. If there is any way to aecelerate the movement already on foot for the building of this road, it will be well to do so, or at least to demonstrate to the Stanly people that the road will cer- tainly be built from this point at no distant day. Some assureance is due them in this emergency. ~_- —- The Yadkin Railroad. There was a call meeting of the di- rectors of the Yadkin Railroad held here on the 10th inst. Some business was transacted, but the vist impor- tant feature was the fact, as demon- strated by the presence of railroad peo- ple and expressions from other promi- nent people connected in railroad circles, that the scheme was entirely feasible and that the time for ac- tivity was fast approaching. Among the most encouraging letters was one trom Col. RK. R. Bridges President of the Wilmington and Wel- don and the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta reads. He says: “thata road will be built there (referring to the proposed Yadkin line) in the com- ing future seems to bean absolute certainty.” Col. A. B. Andrews presi- dent of the W. N.C. R.R., was here that day also, and looks with favor on the project. Altogether, the outlook is better now than at any former time. eee Fire. The recent fire in Fayetteville ad- monishes other towns in the State that the season for conflagrations is at hand. We believe tires are more common just as cold weather is setting in: for it is then that fires are kindled in hearths and stoves for months before unused : and it often happens shat chimneys burn out, and defects in stove fixtures cause fires. Well, if fire should break out here in a closely built up part of the town, it would produce a sensation. About every other man trying to do something would be yelling “Water ! Water!” We have all heard it on such occasions, and yet the water did not come. In the absence of more valuable fa- cilities for combating the devouring flames, house-keepers should on their own account make such preparations for an emergency as they can. They Bhould have ladders or other means for reaching the tops of their houses, and barrels of water in some convenient place, ready for use. And a visitation of this sort should be guarded against by acareful inspection of stoves and fire places before retiring at night But it should be remembered that Kres often come as a thief, when least eX- ed and every preparation should e made to combat it, or the labor of a lifetime may be swept away in an hour. —> Got Down to It at Last. Mr. Joseph Caldwell, the talented editor of the Landmark, has. asa rule, kept aloof from all forms of “office, hunting,” and this course hus been a source of much gratification to his numerous friends. But they will be pened to see here a sad falling away : however, it has the form of the exceed- ing modesty which always character- ized the known desires of that seem- ingly content editor. The object of this paragraph is to second his nomina- tion. Read his appeal, and vote as you read: . Inasmuch as the weekly press of North Carolina is steadily snubbed by the great- er part ofthe daily press, how would it do for the weekly brethren to organize a State Press Association of their own un- der the name of “The Country Cousins ?” We submit the roposition and nominate Brother Buweel A. Oldham, of the Win- ston Sentinel, for president, and Brother “George A. Frick, of the Shelby New Era for first vice-president. We violate no confidence in Saying that both of these brethren are “trained Journalists ; they have as good as acknowledged it them- selves. As for the editor of the Landmark he would like to be elected Outside Sen- tinel, if nobody else wants the place ; not that he needs the office, but just as an ex- pee of confidence on the part of the rethren. _—————_g > _______._... Mr. John B. Hussey, editor of the Greensboro Patriot, has withdrawn from that paper. He is succeeded by Messrs. Hembly & Whitehead, who are STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. The citizens of Raleigh are taking active steps in the maiter of a State Tae School. On_ Wednesday night of this week, in Metropolitan Hall, there was held a mass meeting of the enterprising and progressive people of the State, under the auspices of a joint committee of the citizens of Ral- eich and the Watauga Club. Mr. Geo. L. Chaney, of Atlanta, Ga., and other distinguished gentlemen spoke encour- agingly, and the enterprise has taken wractical shape. ; Ey seas are returned to Mr. W. S. Primrose, Chairman, and to Mr. C. G. Latta, Secretary, for an invitation to a seat on the platform, and to take part in counsels tending to the establish- ment of the school. Press of business alone prevented attendance. _ There is probably no one thing that could be undertaken for the material good of the State and compassed within the same lmnit of cost. that would wield a more potent and lasting influence than a good industrial—technological —school well attended by the youth of ithe State. Such an institution would iturn out each year anamber of trained, practical workers in wood, stone, metal ; line manufactures of all kinds; archi- all kinds. These men would not wait for the waters in the pool of industry to be troubled and trust to “luck” to help them in at the opportune mo- ment, but having been trained to work and taught to be proud of it, they would at once become active factors in the development that yet awaits this glorious, heaven-favored State of North Carolina. Then to the work. Estab- lish the school, and let the native Car- olintin be eulizutened to'a full appre- ciation of his surroundings, and to the possibilities of Ins own efforts when guided by intelligence and skill. The WatTcHMAN ts heartily in accord with the movenient, and may be de- pended upon to do everything possible for its advancement. The school is to be established under an act of the legislature, as follows : alnact to establish and maintain an In- dustrial School, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact : Section 1, That the board of agriculture is hereby authorized and directed to seek proposals of donations for the establish ment ofan industrial school, and when any city or town shall donate in lands, buildings, machinery or other materials, or money, an rimount adequate in the judgment of said board for the establish- ment of said industrial school, it shall be their duty to { ate the same at such place. And if inere be more than one. city or town making such proposals, it shall be the duty of the board to locate it at the place offering the greatest induce- ment. See. 2. The board of agriculture shall direct the organizatian and equipment of the said school, and shall manage and control the same in conjunction with a board of three directors, appointed by the board of aldermen of the city or town Whose proposal is accepted. The local board of directors may sit with the board of agriculture in advisement upon all matters pertaining tu the said school, but shall not have power to yote upon ques- lions involving appropriations from the funds of the department of agriculture, Sec. 3. That instruction shall be pro- vided in this school in wood work, min- ing, metallurgy, préctical agriculture, and in such other branches of industrial education as may be decined expedient. Sec. 4. That the. board of education shall apply to the establishment and maintenance of said school such part of their monies as is not required to conduct the regular work of the department: Provided that not more than $5,000 of their funds shall be applied to the estab- lishment of the school in one year, Sec. 5. That this act shall’ be in force from and after its ratification, In the general assembly read three times, and ratified this the llth day of March, A. D., 1885. RD ED Cumberland Fair. The Cumberland Fair, recently held at Fayetteville, was an occasion of very considerable local interest. Gov. Scales had been invited to deliver the annual address, but declined the honor. He however, in company with several State officials, Attorney General Davidson, Treasurer Bain, and Mr. Finger, Su- perintendent of Public Instruction, at- tended the fair on Thursday. They reached town just in time to join the procession to the fair grounds. The i (fovernor and party were most court- eously received and heartily cheered as the procession moved through the city. At the fair grounds the Governor was prevailed on to address the people. He always speaks well, and on this occasion fully sustained himself, and was gladly heard by about 2.500 citizens, . ——_—_ ae Editor Stead Guilty. Recent telegrams announce that Kditor Stead was found guilty in the Armstrong abduction ease. This is a very different verdict than was expec- ted, and no one on this side the Atlan- tic would have predicted such a result two months ago. The Pall Mall Ga- zette, no doubt, was right in making exposures of real crime, but in order to make stories sensational, fancy man- ufactured supposed cases. Then the editor tried to demonstrate the situa- tion by an actual experiment. It was for this experiment he was tned, with the wbove result. He is to be tried for other offenses connected with this same girl, and it begins to look “foggy” for the London editor. a Don't Like the Mix. Senator Vance denies the reports circulating to the effect that he is en- gaged to argue the Mormon side of the Edmund Sit controversy before the Supreme court. He says: “I voted against the Edmunds bill be- cause I regarded it as great an outrage upon liberty and the essential principles of our government as the evil it was aim- ed atis upon the purity of society. It was the same hell-broth which the South had to drink in the Federal courts durin reconstruction,and I would not putittothe pee ofthe Mormon of Utah. But no ap- plication has ever been made to me to appear for them in the courts.” Jive young newspaper men. i 0 a Fe ceaaanaia Fitz Lee is the most congratulated teets, builders, and, in fact, artizans of Right is Right. Some of the young newspaper men think that because a measure is popular lit is necesarily wise and to be desired. |The ery is why oppose Civil Service, it is ane to pass ? hy get in the way and | be crushed ? Such men would make poor leaders. They would always run with ithe crowd. ‘Truth is truth, right is right, | the same yesterday, to-day and forever. In the South, among reflecting men, might does not make right. Those who have 'studied with any sort of care both Parlia- mentary and Congressional history know how often vicious and foolish laws have been enacted. When the South stood up against the infamous unconstitutional laws the cry might have been sent up, ‘Why oppose; the laws are sure to be en- acted and executed, whether the South agrees or not.’ Here is the doctrine that might makes right. The South did op- pose and the fight was so manly and vig- orous that after awhile the better classes in the North began to see the infamy of such legislation—‘‘the hell-broth’”’ Senator Vance referred to recently in the Star— and uniting with the South. the most vin- dictive laws were repealed or mitigated and the Republican Supreme Court of the United States pronounced them unconsti- tutional. . Right is right and might cannot alter it. If it is wise and democratic, in the true sense, to import into the United States the British system of life-tenure—of put- ting men in office and keeping them there as long as life lasts—if this be the true way then by all means let us haveit. But if this system be the right one for us then the wise men of the past were very blind and ignorant, for they did not attempt to incorporate into our system the British system of life tenure and official aristocracy. Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Jackson, Clay, Webster, Calhoun, McDuffie, Bad- ger, Gaston, ‘and the great men of the past lived under a cloud and never knew what was the chief end of American poli- tics and the great boon of all the ages, for they never heard of or favored or en- joyed that so-called reform that keeps the enemy in the offices and gives a life perpe- tuity to official existence. Great is Diana of the Ephesians! Greater is the great American humbug—British Civil Service Life Tenure. Yes, itis bound tocome and North Carolina must jump on the train and ride with the boys or be crushed. This is the delicious poppycock that is dished out just now on‘the Blair bill. If iniquities are to be perpetrated and new-fangled humbugs are to be embraced, all right. What North Carolinians should attend to is—the motto of David Crockctt—Be sure you are right—then go ahead.” If silver isa right standard of value, then let North Carolina stand by silver, ifevery other State turns idolater and bows down before the great Golden Calf setup by the Northern plutocrats and monopolists. If Civil Service be undemocratic, unre- publican, unnecessary ; if it be dangerous and unwise, then let North Carolina op- pose it to the bitter end, and say to all who favor it—*We will have nothing of this British system. We believe in re- form. We believe in having honest, cap- abie, faithful men in cttice, but we believe in rotation in ofice—the old, sound Dem- ocratie doctrine of the past, that worked so well—and we believe that the party in power should hold the offices.” If the Blair educational bill be Joaded with dynamite and danger, and if it vio- lates the letter and spirit of the constitu- tion, then No-th Carolina should decline to bea party to the wrong and should steadily refuse any of the alluring bait in the shape of millions taken from the Treasury. If Federal school teaching in the States be wrong, then oppose it if the heavens fall. Right is Right. If the South will do its duty in these and other questions, upholding right, pre- serving inviolate the constitution, refus- ing all bribes, and then if evil and disas- ter should come it will be sustained, strengthened, comforted by the assurance, by the grateful reflection that it had no hand in the matter—that it sought to prevent the bad results. Principle is eternal. [Expediency is temporary and dies.—Wilmington Star. ED © ES IE The negroes of North Carolina and Mississippi take the lead in holding State Fairs. We believe the negroes of this State were the first to afford this evidence of their public spirit and ma- terial prosperity, having been holding annual fairs for the last five or six years the Legislature supplementing their fund for payment of premiums by a $500 appropriation. The Govern- or and other State officials have gen- erally attended their fairs, and very in- teresting reports have been given of tnem. , ee, Dairy Farming. Dr. Benbow made 345 pounds of butter at his dairy farm during September, and 317 pounds in October. Quite an item. But his silo for storing ensilage, for stock feeding, is the biggest thing of the kind in the State.—Greensboro Patriot. The Dr. is not only a dairy farmer, but he raises fine fruits and vegetables, runs one of the best hotels—Benbow— in the State, and is an enterprising and public spirited man. —— — om o —--_ __ Thanksgiving.

A Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says Mr. J. A. Leazer, of Iredell county, is to be chief of a division in the Treasury Depart- ment.

R., freight trains are forbidden to run faster than twenty miles an hour under any circumstances. Heretofore when time was lost they were allowed to make it up by fast running, which no doubt, was the cause of many acci- dents. The plan just inaugurated is a wise one. A It Was a Crime. Charleston correspondent of the Augus- ta Chronicle: A few weeks agoa man named W. L. Clemens came to this city from North Carolina, bringing his wife and several children. On Friday night last the mother and father wished to go to church. A little son five years old who had always slept with his parents was put to bed with an older brother in anticipation of their leaving the family room dark. He objected and cried in- cessantly. The father threatened to lock him up in a dark room if he did not hush, knowing thatthe child was morbidly afraid of darkness when alone. The lit- tle fellow cried louder than before, and the threat was put into execution. On being locked in the dark room the child gave three pierching screams and fainted. On coming to it was discovered that the once bright and promising boy had _be- come an imbecile. Not Showing up Well. Stead has been forced to confess under oath in court that one of highly sensation- al yarns in his paper, the Pall Mall Ga- zette, was false and without foundation. This shows that he is not to be trusted. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. If not al- Ways true, it may be true in his case.— Wil. Star. ee ee Disasters. Forty-eight people were drowned in lake Su- perior on the 7th by a terrific storm which fell upon a steamer which sailed from Owen Sound for Port Arthur, Ontario. She had on board 62 persons only 14 of whom escaped with their lives. The vessel was new and strong but could uot withstand the fury of the wind and waves. A cyclone passed over tha country a few miles north of Selma, Ala., Nov. 6th, destroying every thing in its track, which Was about half a mile wide. Its path has been traced for 40 miles. Thirteen persons were killed outright, others cannot be found, and about fifty dangerously wounded. The destruction of property was im- mense. A man with his wagon and team anda load of cotton going to market, were blown a- way and nozhing of them found. Potates were blown out of the ground and scattered. 0 The Synod of Alabama, by a vote of 27 to 12, sustained the action of the directors of Colum- bia Seminary in removing Prof. Woodrow. see Shotwell Monument Fund, A few more names have been added this week.

THe OrpHANS.—It is usual on Thanks- giving day, to take up a collection in the churches in which religious servi- ces are held, for the benetit of the orphans at the Oxford asylum. It is suggested that this praiseworthy cus- tom will be specially observed this year. On last Monday night Clint Me- Kenzie, a negro living on Capt. J. R. | Crawford’s farm, gavé a corn shucking, and left a flask of surplus liquor lying near the corn pile. ‘luesday morning his seven year old daughter found the flask and drank about a pint of its con- tents, from the effects of which it is Fine tobacco, and plently of it has | been on the market this week. Salis-| bury prices always rule high. The next meeting of the Choral supposed she will die. Moral: Never have whisky at corn shuckines.

M., which will get in two hours earlier, or about 11 o'clock P.M. Capt. Coughenour, of Baltimore, is| with us again. The Captain is a “true blue” or still better—a “true gray” — for he isnot exceedingly fond of the “blue.” Mr. M. A. Martin, of this county had a horse stolen last week. The thief is supposed to have zone ina western direction. It would be a good scheme to look east for the horse. W. C. B. Leonard, Esq., and daugh- ters Misses Hila and Lena, were in the city this week. Mr. Leonard was formerly numbered among the mer- chants of Salisbury, and has many friends here. A negro woman called for the police Monday night, saying that her daugh- ter was being beaten by her husband. The policeman found only a disordered house, and heard the mutterings of the retreating hero, while the heroine was bathing the floor with her flood of tears. Mr. John Jacobs received through the mail one day this week, a curious bat convenient package, known asa patent mail case. It is made of tin with a@ wooden lid which screws on, and is serviceable for sending small quanti- ties of loose material through the mails.

Win. Stoudenmire, pastor of St. John’s Is.

During his abscence he also visited friends in Columbia, and the Luth. Synod of 5. C., held at Lexing- ton. Also, Wilmington, N. C., in the interest of his Salisbury church. He was delighted with the pleasure of his visit, and gratefully acknowledges the receipt of $116.50 for his church. oe The Conventiona! Razor. A negro woman named Margaret Satterfield was found on the streets last Saturday might with a stream of blood flowing from her left hand. She jsalid that a negro man, a train hand named Arthur Alexander, had cut her. )She came near bleeding to death before jinedical aid could reach her. The veins over the wrist joint had been severed. ee Making His Way. There is a little boy named Earnhart, from Gold Hill or the neigh- borhood of that place, wandering about in the country some eight miles south of this place, on the new Concord road, who has entered several dwellings in the absence of the owners, and pur- -loined from them such articles as struck his fancy. The last exploit was. steal- ing a watch. The loser was in pursuit of him when our informant left the neighborhood, and his depredations will no doubt be brought toa speedy end by his arrest. ee New Potatoes. Mrs. 5. W. Cole laid on our table some very large new irish potatoes. They were dug this week, and are from seed raised this year. They were plan- ted in July and are of the early rose variety. This demonstrates that just as fine, and judging from the speci- mens.on the table, finer potatoes may be produced from a second planting than from the first. It also suggests a possibility to those who have but small gardens to secure double crops from the same ground each year. By plant- ing the ground ocenpied by the earlier vegetables, with potatoes, a second and valuable crop results. ~_- Hymeneal. The event of the season in society circles here and in Statesville, was the marrriage of our talented townsman. Mr. W.C. Blackm-r, to the aecomplisk- ed and lovely Miss Davis, of Iredell county, on yesterday. The ceremony was performed at Mt. Stirling, near Statesville, the home of the bride’s pa- rents, by Rev. Mr. Husk, assisted by Rev. Mr. Wood. The attendants were, Dr. John Whitehead with Miss Belle Boyden, Mr. Hayne Davis, Jr., with Miss Annie Luke Blackmer and Mr. W. C. Lindsay with Miss Evans. The parlors of the old mansion were throng- ed with guests including members of many of the most prominent families in the State. As soon as the ceremony was over, the guests pressed forward to «ffer congratulations, which were iSmilingly received by the happy couple. The bridal presents were unusually numerous and exceedingly handsome. The wedding feast was elaborate and elegant, being a true type of the gen- erous, able and refin festivities continued until 10 o'clock, when the happy pair, and a_ portion of guests, drove to the depot and boarded the train for Salisbury. Miss Davis was one of Jredell’s most lovely belles, and Mr. Blackmer one of the most popular and talented young men of Salisbury. They have the best wishes of a host of friends, hostess. The : x Two.

It is always a pleasure to record the success of our hence Rowan can boast of some really fine farmers. Among the most successfull tobacco raisers of . Locke township, is Mr. C. Jordan. He and his two little sons raised eight barns of.tobaceo this year. He has laid on our table a “hand” of beautiful leaf, of rich golden color, smooth and silky. It is just as fine tobacco as Granville county—and old eels claims to be best—can pro- uce. Mikado. The Bijou Opera Co. played to a smaller house than. Salisbury usually gives to a good entertainment, on last Monday night, but they succeeded in taking the town by storm. From the very first the audience was warmly responsive and this soon became appa- rent inthe increased efforts of the singers to please. Mikado is brimming full of pure humor and fun, even an occassional pun creeps in, giving all grades of wit something to appreciate. To show how much the performance was enjoyed, a petition was gotten up and presented to the manager asking him to remain over, or give Salisbury another early date. The manager, Mr. Atwood,’ promised to come back on their return trip, saying engagements were already made far in advance. No where in this State have they hada more enthusiastic house than in Salis- bury. While the music is not of a | high order, it is arranged to please and to give zest to the curious and elabo- rately embroidered Japanese costumes worn by the singers. = Personal. C. F. Lowe, Esq., of Lexington, was here this week. Mr. J. P. Caldwell, of the Landmark, spent last Sunday here visiting rela- tives. Col. A. B. Andrews was Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Negus, of Bound Brook, N. J., are here enjoying a sea- son with kindred and friends. Mr. J. Douglass Brown has returned from New York. He willdo some travelling for his firm, H. 38. Jaffrey & Co., in this State between now and the hollidays. Miss Mollie Murphy has returned from Walnut Cove, where she has been spending the summer. Mrs. Sus.n Murphy and daughter, Miss Sudie, have returned from New York, the latter much improved in health. Mr. A. M. Young. of Charlotte, spent Sunday here with friends. Se en ce ee THEATRICAL NOTES. Hoop of Gold. Mr. Jas. A. Merrill, representing Mosher’s “Hoop of Gold,” was here last Monday and perfected arrangements for a rendition here) The press has been universal in its praise ot the merits of this play. The Raleigh News ad Observer calls it a “suparb play,” “beautiful drama” and tells something of the personal of the star, as follows: Lavinia Shannon, the star of the ‘‘Hoop of Gold” company, is a ‘Daughter of the South,” haying been born in New Orleans. Her father, Joseph R. Shannon, originally from Kentucky, was previous to the war one of the wealthiest citizens of New Or- leans, being sole owner of the ‘People’s Line” of steamers, plying between that city and St. Louis, besides having several boats on the Red river and owning con- siderable property in the city. Her fami- ly is one of .the most aristocratic in the South, she being a grand-niece of the last Marquis of Thomond, and a cousin to the present Earl of Dunraven. She is well and favorably known by Goy. Scales and also by Justice Merrimon and family. Miss Shannon will again appear at Tucker hall this evening, when by spe- cial request the “‘Hoop of Gold” company will play a return date. . Salisbury will greet this “daughter of the South” with a rousing house. ee The Standard Dramatic Company, have been in this State playing long engagements. At Wilmington 3 weeks; Charlctte 3 weeks and Raleigh 2 weeks. This is unprecedented. The press in those cities have been loud in praise of the Company. The following is from the Wilmington Star: “The Opera House was crowded last night tosee ‘‘My Partner,’ and the re- ception accorded to the Standard Dramat- ic Company was most cordial, The play was divided into four acts, and everything went off smoothly and satisfactorily. Tbe Company has many good points, and far surpasses many troupes who have more pretensions and not half the merit. Mr. 8. B. McElreth was the centre of attraction last night, and his rendition of Wing Lee was such as to bring from the audience many manifestations of pleasure. All of the ditferent characters were sus- tained, and no one who took part in the performance has cause to regret it, for all did well, and extremely well.” in town on Five Children at a Birth. A Toledo dispatch states that several days ago the wife of Wilhelm Freund, a farmer. near Holgate, Henry county, Ohio, gave birth to five boys, all of whom are well formed and alive. Mrs. Freund is 386 years of age, and during her nine- teen years of married life has given birth to 21 children, eighteen of whom are now alive. The other threé lived to various ages over a year. The mother is described asa comely German woman, and the father is short and solid, but not ortly, This happy couple live ona small farm. which the husband tills with the assist- arce of his numerous progeny. Some of the children were born in the hay field, where the mother was at work. Did any get away or lost in the woods ? $e iT T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR, North State Mine. At this mine hydraulicing has been suspended. They are sinking the main shaft, which has reached the depth of 370 feet ; and they are driving from about this depth to make connection with the 2d shaft. Davis Mountain Mine. At the Davis Mountain mine, in Randolph Co., they are working a small force and have employed an en- gine and some machinery. In addi- tion to this, there is some panning and hand rocking bemg done, but the re- sults are not given to the public. ee eee Winningham and Slack Mine, in the same connty, is being worked by some Englishmen, who have the prop- erty leased. They mean business as they paid a cash consideration for the lease, and besides, pay a stated sum monthly while the lease runs. The proshect is said to be very promising or good returns in gold. They are now putting in some machinery, in- cluding an engine. It is thought that these gentlemen will purchase the property if it continues to develop as present indications would ‘lead the practical miner to suppose. Dunn's Mountain Mine. Capt. James C. McCandless, Supt. of the work going on at . Dunn's Moun- tain, says that they have cleared the mill shaft to the depth of 140 feet, putting in new timbers and making the shaft as good as new. There are 60 feet yet to be cleared before the mine isin condition for other work. This shaft was nearly full of water when work was resumed during the summer. They are using a six inch Knowles pump which keeps the water in. fork. The plan for working the mine under the new manangement is as follows: When this mill shaft is put in working condition, they propose to connect it with the main shaft 200 feet distant, by rising on the incline. This will give them considerably more than 200 feet of stoping ground, and at the same time enable them to put a large force of miners underground. The mine is equipped withta ten stamp mill, and all the necessary hoisting machinery. In addition to the mining going on, the Superintendent reports that as the result of farming operations they have 2,002 bushels of corn, ten bales of cot- ton and about 4,000 pounds of bright tobacco which will average 25 cents a pound. —— a be Hoover Hill, Now called New Hoover Hill. presum- ably to divert attention from the un- fortunate “manipulation” «the sale and first year’s “experience.” This © shaky business all took place before the present Supt., Mr. Freecheville, took charge, and there is no excuse for changing the name unless the owners in London prefer the change. But re- gardless of name, the mine is producing with wonderful regularity, and the new ground opened in the mine indicates rather an Improvement than otherwise. Their twenty stamp mill thumps away day and night, with a roar resembling a great waterfall. But the “clean ups” foot up at the end of each month something like $6,000, and this is am- ple compensation for the noise of the stamps. The Supt. reports to the di- rectors in London, under date of Oct. 24th, as follows: “The ore broken during the month on stope below 170 north has been of good quality. Hawkin’s: The winze below die No. 1 stope is down 36 feet: there has been an improvement in the bottom, both in size and grade of chimney of ore we are following. In No. 2 stope ore body is not looking quite so well; the cross cut west of the Open Cut shaft at 40 feet has been extended 50 feet and we have drift- ed six feet south from it, and 22 feet north, a total drivage of 78 feet for the month ; we have encountered some soft low grade ore which is being worked.

The new Congress is already gathering in the- city, and early- next month it will be called to order and or- ganized.. An unusual number of visitors are coming tothe city. Besides those connected with Governmental aff; many will be drawn here by a desire to enjoy Washington official society under Democratic auspices and leadership. In the coming Congress there will be 184 Democrats and 141 Republicans. But forty-three is a good working majority. As Mr. Randall has signified his deter- mination not to enter the contest for Speaker of the House, there is little doubt that Mr. Carlisle will be re-elected with- out contest in caucus. In this case the launching of the Forty-ninth Congress will be without a ripple. Afterwards, how- ever, smooth sailing is not to be expec- ted. Not only will the House continue to be antagonized by a Republican Senate and the free course of legislation corres- pondingly impeded; but a new antagon- ism will be presented. A Democratic President will be opposed by a Republi- can Senate in certain important nomina- tions. - Mr. Cleveland expresses much gratifi- tion at the result of the Virginia and New York elections, as does everyone promi- nently connected with the Administra- tion. He interprets the result in New York as a deliberate indorsement by the people of his reform Administration, and it is impossible to dwarf its significance. While rejoicing over the more impor- tant political results, and larger issues that hang upon the Virginia elections, there is no single event of the moment that sinks into the Democratic heart with | such sweet and lingering ecstacy as the final obliteration of Senator William Mahone. Democratic gains elsewhere may be fraught with deeper significance, and may throw a brighter light upon the future of reform. But the human heart is human, and it will dwell with obstinate delight upon the political death of the “little boss.” : It is already evident that there will be more social entertaining in Washington this winter than usual. The demand from wealthy strangers for houses is very large. Nearly all of the better class of houses in the fashionable quarters of the city have been taken. Many old Demo- cratic families who have done but little socially for years past, have prepared to emerge from their retirement, and help to make the winter one tobe remem- bered. At least two members of the Cabinet will entertain extensively ; Secretary Whitney who has had a large commo- dious ball room arranged in his residence and Secretary Manning, who has taken a house constructed suitably for hospitable purposes. The other members will doubt- Jess keep pace with the usual record of Cabinet officers, The Diplomatic Corps is always an iim- portant adjunct to the social season. They have ample leisure and the amenities of polite society life is their chief occupa- tion. Some of the largest banquets which take place in the city are given by the Foreign Legations. Already they have commenced their round of entertainments. The Japanese Minister gave two dinners during the week, one to the Cabinet, and another to the Diplomatic Corps, in com- memoration of the anniversary of the Mikado’s birthday. The army and navy are also highly important factors ina Washington season, and some ofthe most elaborate entertainments are given by them. : What will be done socially at the White House this winter is not known.. Mr. Cleveland is not a Presidentilikely to plunge wildly into society's carnival. 4d Still it is not probable that he will be inclined to depart from those social amen- ites with which custom and_ tradition have associated the Executive Mansion. —_- -——r > Washington Letter. From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Noy. 9, 1885. The Capitol has been set in order for the Porty-Ninth Coigress. It has been thoroughly cleaned inside and outside, neatly carpeted.and otherwise made ready for the Representatives of sixty millions of people. Nearly one half of the new Congress will consist of inexperienced men. The total number of members in the House of Representatives is 825. There will be 138 new members. These will be ata disadvantage for some time. No matter how able or how well informed a man may be on general subjects, he will be clumsy in Congress until he learns some- thing of its circuitous methods of doing business. It has been charged that the rules of the House were made especially for the purpose of retarding legislative work. The majority rule was abolished long ago, and the present rules are so constructed that a well Jed minority can defeat with ease the most positive will of the majority. There continues to be much talk about the result of the New York and Virginia elections. One effect thus far shown is encouraging to the Administration. The Republican Senators who have been threatening to make war on some of the appointments are much subdued, and not near so eager for a fight as they were. Senator Logan says he did not make a “bloody shirt” campaign at all. In his opinion, Mugwumpian philosophy isa delusion anda snare, and Empire State Republicans are slippery. Referring to the insinuation of some of the mourners that head damaged the prospects of Mr. Davenport, by not keeping that soil- ed nether garment concealed in his valise, Senator Logan said: “If some gentlemen in New York want a scapegoat in order to get from under the hay themselves, I suppose I can flee to the mountains as well as anyone.” Governor-elect Fitzhugh Lee of Vir- ginia, and also the Lieutenant-Governor- elect Massey, have been in the city since their election. General Lee came*with his two sons to make some purchases, and only remained a few hours. Every- where he went onthe streets he was followed by a congratulatory crowd that insisted on shaking hands with him. Senator Mahone is so broken politically and socially, that some of his friends have been urging him to leave Virginia and make his homein Washington in tie future. There are those, however who express the hope that when he emi- grates trom his native state he will not stop short of Alaska. There are others who wish for hima hotter climate. It has been suggested that he will rise from the depth of his gloom and run for Con- gress next year. Everything that the President intends to recommend in his message, will, it is thought, receive the support of his party. The Administration is in high spirits and great harmony among Democrats is look- ed for now. The party feels united and strengthened by recent victories, and airs, | and leaf moe a darge..tohacco market ; her public spirited.citizens have by their vim and enterprise induced several manufacturers n dealers to locate here. These will need a large amount of Tobaceo dur- ing the coming year. To meet the de- mands of this growth in the tobacco bus- iness and to accommodate our farmer friends in 4 place to sell their tobacco we: have erected the “Iron Clad Warehouse,” which for accommodation, convenience, utility, cnd novelty we claim is not sur- ] by any in this country. The sen- lor member of this firm has an experience of over 30 years in the tobacco business, and will give his personal attention to the handling and selling of all tobaccos brought to our house. We will have an opening sale on the 25th of this month, at which time we hope and expect to serve many of our friends and the public gen- erally. ” : It being our aim to always serve the best interest of the farmers, we respect- fully submit the following: A mistake that is made by many of our friends is in not taking care of their tobacco after it is made. Tobacco raised and cured fine is often greatly hurt by allowing it to get too high in order and thereby to turn red. Frequently tobacco is damaged in value by carelessly assorting, bundling and handling. We therefore advise cur friends to carefully assort their tobacco, both as to color and size—to tie it in small bun- dies, as smoothly as possible—not to allow it at any time to get in very high order, and especially to market it in as large parcels as practicable, as very small par- cels are frequently overlooked by buyers. More money is saved by properly hand- ling and caring for tobacco than is made by raising it. We shall keep ourselves posted as to the general condition of the markets, and will take pleasure in giving what infor- mation we have to our patrons at any time.

In April, 1884, there appearaed on my feet and legs what the doctors called Salt Rheum, which produced intense suffering. I tried a great many remedies, and had the attention of one of our best physicians, but * received no permanent relief. The dis- ease continued to grow worse and my limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finally induced to try Swift’s Specific, and after taking four bottles relief came. I contin ued, however, untilI had taken sever bottles, and am now sound and well, and not a sign of the disease left. My general health has greatly improved, and I most cheerfully recommend 8. 8. S. as being the best blood purifier that I have ever known, Mrs. M. S. Highsmith, Lulaton, Wayne Co.. Ga. May 19, 1885. HELPING CANCER. I have been afflicted: a number of years with cancer, and have tried all the reme- dies suggested for this terrible disease without any benefit. Six bottles of the Swift’s Specific has done me more good than all the medicine I had taken. M strength has returned, and I can wal farther and take more exercise than I have been abk to do for years. Its effects have been wonderful and the cancer has greatly Improved. W. Shiesling. Grittin, Ga., May 1, 1885. Swift’s Specific is entircly vegetable, and seems to cure cancers by forcing out the impurities from the blood. MERCURIAL POISONING. For 25 ycars I have suffered from the effects of Mercury and Iodide of Potassium. I was salivated in a most fearful way, and was given up to die. Ihave had no relief from anything I have taken for it, and I have tried everything, until now, that I have taken a course of Swift’s Specific. It has entirely cured me. It also cured me of It also cured me of. sciatic rheumatism, from which I have suffercd for many long years. Iam now well of both, and there is no evidence of mercurial poisoning or rheumatism about me. O. F. Russ, With Howe Scale Co, Albany, N.

THE ENGINE-DRIVER'S STORY. {From the Youth’s Companion, ---Boston. ] “The most dangerous run I_ ever made was down the Blue Ridge, on. the ‘West- ern Carolina’ line, This road crosses the. mountains ata grade of two hundred feet to the mile, Throughout the long ascent up the Ridge, it winds about the foothills and along the 1ountain sides in spiral curves, often quite sharp, and actually in one place passes the same point three iimes, at different elevations, as it works up the mountain. = “Near the top of the mountain is the famous ‘mud cut,’ which has so puzzled all the railway engineers. Soft mud at that place is being continually forced up into the road bed by the pressure, prob- ably, of the strata on each side of the cut, so that a ‘gravel train’ and corps of labor- ers is constantly required to keep the track clear. For this service the company has for seme time employed a gang of the State convicts. “i; was at this time in charge of the ‘aid,’ or ‘helper,’ engine, which assists the trains to climb the heavy mountain grade; and on the day in question, I had pushed up the morning freight, as usual, and then ‘side tracked’ in the cut, to al- low the early passenger and express train to pass, on its way to Asheville. ; “From this elevated situation a wide view is commanded down the mountains, and already the smoke from the passen- ger locomotive could be seen in the dis- tance, as it slowly ascended the foothills and drew toward the spiral grades up the side of the main ridge. “Meanwhile the gravel train, with its gang of shovel men, had moved on the main track in the cut, and the convicts were busily engaged in throwing the soft mud upon the ‘flats.’ The work had pro- ceeded for some minutes in silence, and the engineer of the gravel train had, for some cause, left his cab for a few minutes, when one of the prisoners, unobserved by the guards, stealthily slipped the coup- ling pin behind the tender.

Subtest ae " INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE open. In an instant the engine started up, and in less time than it takes to say, it was moveing off rapidly, under a_ full head of steam, “The fireman’s shout was the first in- timation that anyting was really wrong. Then the guards waked up. Bang! bang! went their rifles all around, but their bullets were too tardy for the desperate rogue; he ducked nimbly down behind the tender. The balls rattled harmlessly against the sides of the engine. Had they hit and killed the reckless fugitive, the condition of affairs would hardly have been improved, for the locomotive was out and away, rattling down the grade toward the approaching passenger train. Evidently the convict had in- tended to jump off when ata safe dis- tance, and escape during the confusion ofa wreck. That heavy ‘gravel’ engine would naturally crash into the other train, like a ball from a cannon. “The trammen andthe guards stood, tore after the receding engine, as though paralyzed. ‘*What, indeed, could they do? “Then the thought flashed to my mind, could I give chase with my own engine, and catch the runaway ? “It wasthe only chance to save the pe scuner train from the horrors of a col- ision on that winding, perilous grade; and desperate as the chance looked, it must de taken, instantly. ‘‘As my engine moved, one of the guards scrambled into the cab; and my fireman jumped on the pilot as we dashed past the ‘frog.’ “Ina moment we were out upon the main line, on the down grade, and gath- ering headway under full pressure of steam. “But the gravel engine had the start, and was the heavier of the two locomo- tives, though mine ran on the higher wheels. On this latter circumstance, alone, rested my chance of overtaking the gravel engine; and it seemed a doubt- ful chance at best. It is a reckless busi- ness to give anengine full steam ona down grade. But all depended on the first few minutes; and J gave my machinea heavy headway at once, and bade Henry, my fireman, dump his oil and kindlings into the firebox ! “In half a minute we were going at sixty miles an hour! “The rocky crags and ledges beside the line flew behind usin long streaks; and the trees below seemed blended into a confused patch of green, as we tore along. ‘‘Instinctively now I closed the throttle; for no engine could carry steam down such a grade and live! Ahead was a sbarp curve. Weswayed round it, like light- ning, and then caught sight of the for- ward engine, still several hundred yards ahead. But we were gaining; I could see that we were lessening the distance. But could we overtake it in time? The passenger train could hardly be more than three or four miles away. “Catching sight of us bearing down upon him, I saw the convict run out on the tender, and look about as if trying to see asmooth spot tojump off; but the gravel engine had gotten up such a ter- rific speed that he was evedently afraid to leap. ‘**Point your rifle at him and call to him to stop.’ I shouted to the guard, but the guard, terrified at the rate we were running, had dropped his carbine on the coal heap, and was crouching and hold- ing on, the most abject picture of fear I ever saw, “My fireman, Henry, was amere slip of a boy then; buta pluckier lad never opened a fire door. Bidding him to give her the road, I caught up the rifle, and getting out on the ‘running board,’ point- ed the weapon at the scoundel in the for- ward engine, motioning to him, at the same time, to reverse the lever. But either misunderstanding my motions, or frightened by the awful speed, he jump- ed off the tender, the instant he saw the rifle raised, and was instantly hurled headlong over the ledges—down the steep mountain side, below the track. I caught a glimpse of him, whirling heels over head, as we shot past. ‘He had left the ‘gravel’ running free ; and I now knew that I must, myself, stop it, if it was stopped at all. “We were gaining upon it, but slowly ; and I scarcely dared give my engine more steam. But I could not tell how far down the passenger train was. If our high wheels would but keep the track ! “The engine careened from side to side, as we darted around the sharp curves, Every moment I expected to feel it plunge into the gorge below; and there was no hope that the low wheeled ‘gravel’ would jump the rails. I must catch it, or the passenger would be lost. Several times I pulled the whistle, hoping the passenger engineer might possibly hear me. The trouble was that, owing to the curves, the latter eould not see us at all ; and the rattle and roar of his own train would most probably prevent hearing. “Hit hera ttle, Henry!’ I shouted back ; for I knew now that what we did must be done inside of another minute and ahalf; and in my desperation, I determined that if there must be a colli- sion, it should be in an effort to overtake the runaway. “The locomotive now scarcely touched the rails asshe bounded forward under the fresh pressure of steam. We were within thirty yards of the gravel train now, and we would catch up to it in half a minute more, if my engine could keep the track. Atthis point arocky cliff rose on one side of the line; and on the other the steep mountain leads abruptly off into a gorge, hundreds of feet deep, in a sheer precipice. Looking down across _ this ravine, we seemed to be literally flying in mid air. “Meantime, I had run forward upon the pilot frame, ready to leap to the ten- der of the ‘gravel,’ the instant we came close enough. Then for an instant the runaway disappeared, as both engines plunged into a cloud bank that lay piled against the mountain side. For a second or two, nothing was visible; but the roar of the wheels as they spun along the nar- row shelf, I could have thought we had jumped from the hill and were plunging down through the clouds into’the valley. “When aninstant later, we emerged from the fog, the tender of the gravel train was only a few feet before my pilot. I dared wait no longer. Even now I fancied that I could hear the roar of the passenger train from below. Measuring the distance well with my eye, I stepped back on the running board and straining every muscle for the dangerous leap, sprang across the intervening space, caught upon the rear of the tender, hung for a moment, then with might and main struggled to get aboard it—a feat that could not have been accomplished had not the trains had the same relative speed and motion. “Truly, that was a spring for life! Not for my own life merely, but for hundreds of others on the coming train. I barely made it. Forthe jorking motion was frightfuly strong. Had the distance been afoot greater, 1 should have missied— and been instautly ground to pieces. But I dared not wait for the engines to touch; for there would then be a recoil. “It required but an instant now to scramble over the coal into the cab thrust back the lever and open the sand boxes. Henry had at once done the same for our own engine. “How those cylinders wheezed, and how thesmoke and sparks flew from those drivers as_ they ground backwards on the rails! “And we had scacely brought them to a standstill when, puffing heavily round the next curve below, issued the passen- ger engine, coming unconsciously onto certain destruction, had we not caught the runaway just as we did. “Tt was an easy matter for them now to bring the trainto astop on that up grade. “In half a minute more all three en- gines were moving quictly back up the grade. Very little was said; and to this day, Isuppose the passengers do not know why that abrupt halt was made on the mountain side, or how fearfully near they all were to death that afternoon. “The body of the convict was found on the rocks, several hundred feet below the track, so mutilated that but for the striped clothes, no one could have inden- tified it. — +<>> = It is stated that frequent applications of sage tea to the scalp will prevent the falling out of the hair which freyuently occurs after an illness. eR ee Beset.on all Sides. By malaria, how shall we escape the dread who for years have escaped the visitatiors of the periodic scourge, through the protect- ing influence of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. When the necessity for using preventive measures arises, use this means of preven- tion at once. It regulates the liver, facili- tates digestion, and liberates impurities from the system, when such exist, by pro- moting healthful action of the bowels and kidneys. Act early. In all regions where miasmatic vapors breed disease, it is abso- lutely necessary to be provided with a safe- guard, and this is true, though a sojourn in such localities is destined to be brief. No one can afford to breathe malaria fora short time. The Bitters is a sovereign specitic for rheumatisin, debility and nervousness, Keep it on hand. By P, M.

Entered rest, at the residence of his son-in-law, Judge D. M. Furches, on the afternoon of the 9th November, 1885, Mr. Lemuel Bingham, at the advanced age of 90 years 4 months and 15 days. Mr. Bingham was born in Pittsfield, Mass. June 24th, 1795, where he grew up, an learned the printing business. Mr. Bingham came to Salisbury in 1819, formed a partnership with Capt. Jacob Krider (for many years a resident of Mount Vernon, in Rowan county) in a printing office, and on the 138th of June 1820, published the first issue of the Western Carolinian, which was con- tinued till May 1st 1821, when Capt. Kri- der sold out to Philo White, and Bingham & White continued the paper to the 6th of May 1823, when Mr. Bingham sold out to White, and moved to Fayetteville, where he and Col. J. McRae (father of Judge McRae) published the old Fayette- ville Obsorver until the Fall of 1824, when he left Fayetteville and went to Char- lotte, and there publenee the Catawba Journal, issuing: the first number Oct. 4th 1824. This he continued to publish for a few years, when he again moved to Salis- bury, transferring and publishing it at that place under the name of the Yadkin and Catawba Journal. This he continued till probably 1838-’34, when he retired from journalistic life. While living im Salisbury, and before moving to Fayetteville, he married Miss Jane Miller, sister of G. A. Miller, who represented Davie several times in the Legislature, and at one time published the Rowan Whig and Western Advocate in Salisbury. From Salisbury Mr. B. moved to Mocksville, where he was living when Davie county was formed, in February, 1836—was appointed Clerk and Master in Equity of the county, which office be held till it was abolished by the constitution of 1868—and was the only C. M. E. that county ever had. In the Fall of 1869 Mr. B. lost his eyesight, and early thereafter removed to Statesville, and had resided with his son-in-law, Judge Furches, till the close of his eventful life. Towards its close Mr. B. was a great sufferer, but it was tempered by the filial affection of his family and the consolation that religion affords, which would be a passport to the Heaven which was ready to open and re- ceive his disembodied spirit. A devoted member of the church and a true Christian, generous hearted and kind, his life was a model for the friends he has left behind, and a pattern for all. On the afternoon of Tuesday, after a service at the Episcopal church by the rector, Rev. Ed. Wootten, his mortal re- mains were followed to the cemetery in this place and interred in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and heart-stricken family.—Statesville American. The above notice of Mr. Bingham, with whom the senior editor of the Watchman had long personal acquaintance, is copied with mournful pleasure. He knew him to be an amiable Christian gentleman, as gentle as a woman, and as simple as a child; and yet a man of clear conception and vigorous thought. and held in high esteem by all who knew him.

Mr. McConnico, president of the Amer- ican Exposition in New Orleans, said in a public address in that city on the 20th of uciober : ° It is my pleasure to report tonight that thirty-five States and erritories, repre- sented by exhibits greatly enlarged and ‘nore ornamental than those of last year, will be with us and will absorb the entire space of the enormous Government Build- ing, leaving not a single blank to mark the place from which the National exib- it was removed. From Central and South America we have the assured participa- tion of Gautemala, Honduras, San Salva- dor, United States of Columbia, Venezu- ela, Peru, Chili, Brazil, the Argentine Republic, and San Domingo. From Eu- rope there will bea large representation from Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, and Russia, while from Asia we shall have China and Japan. The space in the Main Building, with its vast area of 35 acres, is absorbed, and from this time forward we shall be compelled to refuse new applicants, except to the extent that it may be possible to accom- modate nee crowding those who have already entered. Assurances come to us from every quarter that the attendance of visitors will be larger than last year, and especi- ally will this be true as to the Southern States, where noney will be more plenti- ful than for many years past. Touching the principal object which it is hoped will be promoted by the exposi- tion, Mr. McConnico said : The central idea of the American Ex- position is the inauguration of a hemis- pherical policy which shall establish closer relations between the people of the three Americas, and, by diverting to our own markets the vast trade of the Span- ish and Portuguese American countries that is now lost to us, and developing the far greater trade that yet lies dormant, awaiting only the touch of American en- ergy and genius to solve the great prob- lem that now confronts the people of the United States, namely : Where shall we find new fields for the distribution and consumption of our constantly increasing surplus production? This problem is des- tined at no distant day to constitute the live issue in our governmental policy, and statesmen of the more progressive and practical type are already turning their attention to it. It is a remarkable fact that with these great producing countries at our very doors, the vast sum of $710,000,000 of their annual commerce, out of a total of $955, 000,000, is transacted with European markets, 3,000 to 5,000 miles further away. England, France, and Germany take three-fourths of the business and the United States one-fourth. This con- dition of things should be and can be pre- cisely reversed. Todeny itis to admit that American pluck and energy and business acumen, with all advantages in its favor, cannot follow where English persistence has led the way, Our undertaking must not only com- mand the attention of commercial men, but of statesmen as well, for the diversion of the trade of Spanish and Portguese America to our own markets means a larger and more active demand for the products of our factories and farms ; it means an increased demand for labor, it ineans a wider circulation of capital ; it means the cultivation of closer and more intimate relations with our neighbors of those countries; it means a community of interest and a community of policy be- tween all the people and the yovern- ments of the Western Hor... here. ——->- It is Business. One of the best business men, says the Charleston Democrat, has this com- plaint to make: “A few days ago I sent out a lot of bills to men indebted to me for goods purchased last spring. Two came in, said that they did not want to be insulted by being dunned, paid up, and said they were done with me. Well, all I could say was that I bad furnished them goods and needed the money. I thought no man should be affronted on being requested to pay for them, and I let them go without any apology, if any was expected.” This business man did right. No man owing a debt should, under any cir- cumstances, feel aggrieved upon being asked to pay up. Commercially it 13 an every day occurrence, and men in business expect it. All others should. It is childish for any man to take it as an insult to be notified of a debt that is due, and that payment is wanted. The right way is to pay attention to the notice and call on your creditors and arrange for it some way.—Lynch- burg Adrance, Industrial Schoo!. The large and spirited mectipg Wed- nesday night of all sorts and conditions of men, professional and mechanical, was a fine indication of the fixed purpose of our people that the Industrial School shall be established and that it shall be located in Raleigh, which, as the capital and central city of the Btate, the one most accessible, most frequently visited by North Carolinians from all the sections, is manifestly the most appropriate place for it.

Hayne on Charleston. The Bivouac. It would require a volume, at least, to do anything like justice to so fruit- | fula theme; for, as Mr. Petigrue ob- served in his address before the South Carolina Historical Society, twenty seven years ago, “in the circle of vision from the belfry to ‘Saint Michael's, there has been as much high thought spoken, as much heroic action taken, as much patient endurance borne, asin any equal area of land and sea on this continent.” Rife with this romance, indeed, is the history of this city. Imagination travels back acrossa period of two hundred and fifteen years, and per- ceives how, from a feeble settlement on the Ashley in 1670, and despite wars, disease and great privations, has grown up in the “environment of province, colony and State, a city and people, who, from the earliest times down through all the governmental changes since, in peace and in war, have borne themselves always on the highest plane of honor and duty.” Twice she has been stigmatized as the “Mother of Treason;” once, when, in 1776, she dared to hurl defiance from her unfinished fort, on Sullivan’s Island, against the English fleet, and again in 1861, when, under quite as sincere a conviction of right, she bom- barded and took Fort Sumter. Suecess sanctioned her action in the old Revolution, and she purged off the “damnable crime of revolt and trea- son. Does anybody doubt that success would have had quite as purifying and exalting an effect in the new? Mean- while, no accumulation of trials, mis- fortunes or outrages--not even the “Hades of Reconstruction”—-could fi- nally subdue her! “We know the issue! all unsmirched with passionate granulation, She rose, she towered! for who could touch her soul with degradation? The cruel fire that singed her robe died out in rainbow flashes, And bright her silvery sandals above the hissing ashes!” shone ‘aunt Lucy? lde poo’ ole man is gittin’ wuss an’ Weighed and Found Wanting. “How do you like the new minister, ” asked a gentleman of an | old Pee “I hain’t got much res k for his ability, sah.

Through the politeness of Mr. Adis Bruner, we rode over the city and for the first time we saw the suburbs and its beautiful residences and shade trees; in fact, we were rather surprised at the good looks of Salisbury away from the depot and the bad looking streets lead- ling from it. We saw many new resl- /dences that had recently been erected, land several in course of construction, showing that the good old town ison | the advance. The tobacco business has | given the place a shove upward and will do much, no doubt, for its future pros- jperity. There arenow a number of to- baceo warehouses and factories in opera- tion, and more are being built; and we were glad to see many signs of increasing | prosperity in the community. | If our neighbors will permit, we would | ( | suggest that a little more free use of paint fon stores and dwellings will add much ito the appearance of their town in every | way. | To our good friends, Mr. J.

The above is reproduced to show our | people how the town impresses intelli- vent and observant visitors. The ad- i vice as to paint is surely timely! There are many people amply able to adorn itheir residences and places of business, [but who neglect it for some reason. |The appearance of the town, both as ‘to streets and houses, could be made very attractive, and it would be an optical proof of the prosperity aud new j1ife claimed for the town. | | | | a Washington Letter. [From Our Regular Correspondent. ] WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 1886. As the members of the 49th Congress assemble in the city, it is interesting to note upon the faces of Republicans an ex- pression of discouragement. They feel that the Democrats have come to reign fora long tinie. They have ceased talk- ing about cand.dates for 1858. Before the elections there was so much said on the subject here that one might have thought /the country was on the eve of another Presidential election. You hear nothing more now about a war in the Senate. Republican Senators are in a measure subdued, while the talk of Democratic Senators is conservative and loyal. The defeat of Mahone causes the Re- publicans to regard the Senatorial contest in Oregon with great anxiety. ‘Their ma- jority in the Senate is getting beautifully slim. In case a tie occurs, as it did a few years ago, Vice President Hendiix cannot be caught sitting on the fence sometimes, as was Uncle David Davis. Mr. Hen- dricks’ vote can always be counted in ad- vance. The forecast of the position to be taken by Members of the new Congress on the silver question, recently published, is not recarded as likely to prove true after Congress has met and received the Presi- dent's message and the report of Secre- tary Manning. VThe President and the Secretary are not likely to oceupy differ- ;ent ground from that taken by Mr. | Cleveland last Spring. It is thought he | will appeal reasonably to both Houses of | Congress to support his views and try | them in practice. | Though you may not hear a great deal ) about it, changes in the offices have been constantly going on here since the 4th of They go on gradually, but any ; one going into the Departments after an ,absence of nine months would find but |few familiar faces at the desks of the | higher officials. In the Treasury, for in- stance, both of the assistant Secretaries ;are Democrats.

Salisbury and Wadesboro Railroad. I notice in your last number that your people scem to move very slowly in get- ting to work to complete the railroad from Wadesboro to your place. This is an important road, and more important to Salisbury than any other people. This being the case, it has always been a mat- ter of surprise why the road has not long since been put into successful operation. I know communities in North Carolina that have not near the wealth, that have secured the construction of nearly four times as many miles of railroad since the war, when there was the strongest oppo- sition to contend against and the cost of construction was very much greater. The stock in all these roads was secured by the perseverance of a very few unpre- tending men, some of whom are unknown to fame, and who never received a cent for their services, or any honor or other notice or consideration for their aid, and who have lost nearly every cent they con- tributed vo these buildings. Nor did they render their services with the expectation of receiving any such consideration ; but they labored cheerfully and spent of their scanty means for the sole purpose of se- curing the roads, that they might thereby improve the country and build up their county and towns. And I feel confident if it was now proposed to build in their midst such a road as that now proposed to your people, that it would not be long before you would see the road put under contract from one end of it to the other, and speedily completed. There must be something wrong with your people— more especially with your young people— when they talk so much—make so many fitful and unsuccessful starts, to no good purpose, when such an important road as that proposed to be constructed from your place to Wadesboro is under consid- eration. I have been seriously tempted to attend one or more of your mectings and try to give your people a successful start, as I am anxious to see the road built. Go AHEAD. Thanks are due ‘ Go-ahead” for his kind and encouraging words, but it does seem that he finds fault with the wrong people. The young men of Salisbury and surrounding country have done all they can without aid, and are ready and willing to do more as soon as the older men show a willingness to hold up the hands of these younger workers. Shall be glad to see * Go-ahead” at the next meeting, and hope he may give us sug- gestions that will put the scheme on a moving basis. ——-~ > For the Watchman. The Tarpeian Hole.

And when they unloaded their vehicles, it was a pounding sure enough. It consisted of sugar, coffee, flour, pota- toes, beef, mutton, pork, lard, poultry, &c., and backed up with some coinage: Imagination may grasp at the transition of feelings between the former and latter view of this affair. The poor fellow will not make any complaint of any such poundings. id. ——_—_~4>- -——- -—— Diphtheria From His Petient. Worcester, Mass.; Nov. 16.—Dr. George O. Warner, of Leicester, died last evening of malignant diphtheria, after a five days’ illness. The disease was contracted from a patient, a fragment of diseased mem- brane falling out on the doctor’s mus- tuche during an examination. It was removed, but this was of no avail. Dr. Warner had ‘practiced medicine in Lei- cester for 20 years, and was widely and favorably known. — eee LIST OF LETTERS. List of letters remaining in post office at Salisbury, N.

CHE ZIG-ZAG METHODS EMPLOYED BY MERCENARY MEN, Itis anotable fact that the people of Atlanta and elsewere are beginning to be thoroughly convinced that worthless com— pounds become “shaky” at all new innova- in ancient Rome there was a Tarpeian Rock, from whose lofty suinmit certain criminals were thrown to be dashed to to pieces upon the stones far be- neath. Marcus Manlius here expiated the crime of treason, and many others less noted sped to death froin this rugged precipice. And perhaps it was not wrong to thus execute men who had fairly forfeited their iives. Like the old Romans, I don’t velieve in the State’s troubling itself to provide an eaxy death those whose acts brand them as encmics to mankind. Nor doJI think the town and county, in the absence of the whip- ping post, are under obligations to furn- ish comfortable quarters and generous diet to petty offenders—especially when there is at our doors a Tarpeian Hole, which might be easily and economically converted into an instrument of torture ; in fact, the expense of the conversion need consist of only a few benches for spectators.—The Tarpeian Hole is just opposite Simon Shaver’s blacksmith shop, in the public highway, near where it forks. And my suggestion is, to punish chicken thieves and drunk-and-disorder- lies by compelling them to drive a team over the pine-pole causeway ; and to exe- cute those guilty of more heinous offences by throwing them from this causeway into the mud hole beside it. Here, asin Rome, it seems to me, this method would coin- mend itself as being cheap and eflicacious. Woop HAULER. — + + Woodleaf Items. Rey.

Mr. Scott Freeman lost a little child by diphtheria last week. He has another child sick with the same disease, but it seems to be improving. There are sey- eral cases of diphtheria in this neighbor- hood. Our Reading Club met at Dr. Wet- more’s last Friday evening. There wasa large attendance. The Club meets week- ly, and the next meeting is to be at Mr. Hart’s school house, and the Friday fol- lowing at Rev. R. W. Boyd's residence. The Club is in a flourishing condition, and affords our people much pleasure as well as an opportunity for improvement. It is reported that ‘‘Clod Knocker’”’ has rented Geo. R. McNeill’s farm near Woodleaf. He will have to change his nom de plume, as there ure no clods to knock in our sandy soil. Cotton is still coming in by the load. Trade is very good at Rice & Bailey’s. JEB. ee a For the Watchman. A Pounding. Mr. Editor: One of the events of the season in a southern portion of Rowan, is the considerable pounding that the Rev. R. L. Brown received a few days ago. You are aware of his great afflictions du- ring the last twelve months. In this af- flicted and downcast condition, a messen- ger, afew days before hand, bore the news that he wasto receive a ‘“‘pound- ing.’ You may well imagine the feelings of one sosorely afflicted, who with his affiictions must receive a pounding. So, sure enough, at the appointed time, there came, in speed, a brave rider upon a blooded horse asa signal of the advancing troop: soon after, followed by wagons, buggies, &c., until a considerable crowd of people were around and in the house. Every thing seemed to be more or less quiet for a while; the young folks, in the meantime, were amusing themselves in the yard; but after a while, Mr. Brown was ordered to go inthe house. After all had taken their places, Mr. G, M. Barringer addressed the supposed crimi- nal as to the nature of the event; he in- forined the afilicted family that this was while an honest) preparation never We do “wipe out’ others, as the field for operation tions, | fears Opposition, not propose to lis large, and we accord to one and all the isame privileges wecnjoy, We are not so | far lest to business principles as to denoance ‘any other remedygas a fraud, or imitation, lor as containing a vegetable poi:on, the effects oi which are horrible to coimtem- The for there plate. alarm need not be sounded, is ample rooin tur all declining anti potash, pine top slop water compounds, If one bottle of ble in effects than half a dozen of any | B.

Rev. Dr. Davis delivered the two lee- tures announced for last Sunday. His’ lecture on Japan was most interesting, and was listened to by a large audience in the Presbyterian church. In the evening the Methodist church was crowded to its utmost capacity to hear the lecture on China and the work of the Methodist missions. The lecture was pronounced the finest that Dr. Davis has yet made here. He is en- thusiastic and thoroughly devoted to the missionary cause, and it is a great pleasure to hear him. Shoe Factory. There seems a prospect for establish- ing a shoe factory here at an early day. Aldrich, Haskins & Co., shoe manufac- turers of Lakeville, Mass., are in cor- respondence with gentlemen here, hav- ing in view the establishment of such a factory. This is the kind of people who are needed and wanted in_ the South. An aggregation of small in- dustries is better than a colossal scheme, so far as the growth of the town is concerned. These people will be welcomed, should they determine to turn this way. Extracrdinary Growth. A clinton grape cutting was set in the ground against the wall of this office, March 10th, 1884. It took root and the first year made a growth of about 10 feet, counting the main branches and laterals. In February of the present year it was cut back to two eyes or buds, from which sprang two main branches, which made, one 244 feet and the other 25—49} feet in the two. But adding to this the lateral branches on each main stem, we have ‘the extraordinary growth of 160 feet of vine froma cutting the second year after setting. -=_{- The Railroad Meeting.

Salisbury wants diversified industries. A cotton market is a good thing, a to- bacco market better ; but either, alone or combined, has not produced a city in the South of fifteen thousand inhabit- ants. What is needed here. in addition to the already established tobacco and cotton markets, is the erection of ma- chive shops of various kinds, foundries, furniture manufactories, shoe manu- facturies, etc. Towns that are depend- ent upon one enterprise alone, cohaetn or cotton, for instance, while they not infrequently double their population in a few years, while the fever is on, yet onthe abatement of the fever, the growth in population diminishes or en- tirely ceases. Encourage any and ev- erything from the blacksmith shop to the mammoth cotton factory. ————“-2-————_ Two Orphans. The Standard Dramatic Company failed to appear in “My Partner” as advertised, but played “Two Orphans” to a rather disappointed audience. The Orphans had been rendered here be- fore, and did not draw a large house. The music, both band and orchestral, was very ordinary. Salisbury audiences are rather hard to please in the matter of music, since they have been thor- oughly educated in distinguishing mu- sical music from mere noise on Istru- ments, by competent teachers in all branches of music. Hadthe Standards played “My Partner” as advertised, they would have left a more favorable i npression. The Hoop of Gold Company played toa large house last Friday night. This is without doubt a strong combi- nation, but the play could not be put on the stage properly here. It was too small to accommodate the scenery, and the loss of the scenery coupled with the fact that they had no music, took away much of the pleasure reasonably ex- pected by the audience. > EN Personal.

Don't forget that itis dangerous to work about a cotton gin when running. If lit should get choked, or need other at- tention. it is safest to throw off the band and stop the gin. It is safer to roll up the sleeves of your shirt than to go about the saws with garments swinging loosely around. Danger— danger-—always about a cotton gin in motion, and “don't you forget it.” Only a day or two ago a young man In Mecklenburg, named Davis, says the Observer, lost his right arm in agin while raking away the accumulations underneath it. It was torn to pieces and had to be amputated close up to the shoulder. Such cases should be a warning, but people will be careless and consequently pay the penalty— sometimes amounting to life itself. ———__-~a>- — —_— Rare Old Liquor.

This breed of hogs, though much vaunted for a while, have not given first-rate satisfaction to those who have The Poland China and the Berkshire, on the contrary, have gen- erally sustained their good character, and are most in favor. There is so much depending on the keep or treat- ment of hogs, however, that we should be cautious in condemning any partic- ular breed, not even excepting the ra- zor-backs and pine-rooters to be found all through the country. Plentiful feeding and good attention to the com- fort of pigs will make fat hogs of any breed. The most beautiful animal of the hog kind we ever saw was made from a scrubby pine-rooter. He was hardy, grew tall and eraceful throngh- out, and was almost as active as a deer when driven to the butchers. Good attention and plentiful feecing did it, and so it will be with any breed. Dr. J.J. Summerel] has two red Jersey crossed on Poland China, 13 months old, estimated at 300 Ibs, which is certainly very fine ; but they venfy nothing in respect to the breed, except as across. ‘Lhe Doctor is a good feed- er and rarely fails to make fine pork, without regard to breed. 12s, eo For the Watchman.

Focy FARMER. ote 3 MINING DEPARTMENT. - T. K. BRUNER; EDITOR. ‘My. Wilhams, Supt. of Long Creek mine, in Gaston county, was here this week. Prof. Tiernan, of Asheville, has just returned from a prospecting tour in Montgomery county, and is much im- pr with the section. ee Gold Mine Sold. It is reported that C. J. Knight, Esq., of Montgomery county, has sold a recently -discovered gold deposit for $12,000. The particulars have not been g ven. In Montgomery County pare for big mining are flattering. roperties are changing hands and large amounts of money are being spent for machinery. The impetus given to mining by the successful working of the Big Russell and the Coggins mines is. beginning to be felt. There is no doubt but that Montgom- ery is the richest free gold producing district in the State. - . Cherokee County, Ga. Mr. John S. Bird, Jr., of Charleston, S. C., reports that he is largely interest- ed in a gold mine in Cherokee county, Ga., which has never been worked. The ore assays—specimens from three localities assayed—from sixty to three hundred and fifty-eight dollars to the ton. ‘This is an encouraging show for a new property. Vein Mountain Gold. The Vein Mountain placer gold mine, in McDowell county, is producing some fine nuggets now. ecent reports mention two, weighing two pounds each. This is encouraging news from this property, which has been idle for some time. Machinery is being placed on the property just now. It is hoped a fine record will be made when they get in good working order. a eee hive Mine. The Shive mine is m Cabarrus coun- ty, just over the southern border of Rowan, and is on an extension of some of the gold bearing veins of this coun- ty. It is being opened by 5. C. Miller. The Roseman mine, in the same neigh- borhood, on the Rowan side, is_ to be opened soon. This property has been developed recently by the owner, Dr M. A. J. Roseman, to 27 feet below the water line. It looks well, so he says, and is in good condition. ——<--—____—— North State. The board of directors of the North State Copper and Gold Mining Com- pany, at a meeting held in the Co's of- tice at the mine, in Guilford county, on the 7th inst., declared an ‘“Insh dividend” of ten cents on the share. This assessment must be paid by the Lith of December. The money is to be used in sinking the main shaft 100 feet deeper. When this work is done the main shaft will be nearly 500 feet deep. Their 20 stamp mill will proba- bly be put in operation about the first of the coming year. ae Corundum. Prof. J. A. D. Stevenson of Statesville, has shown the writer a lot of deep blue opaque crystals—perfect form—of co- rundum in a matrix of fibrolite. They are from a locality in Iredell county. Prof. Stevenson thinks that in this lo- eality will ultimately be found erystals of sufficient purity and transparence to be used as gems. These opaque crys- tals have the true sapphire color, and Prof. Stevenson’s long and careful study of the corundum localities of Lre- dell and surrounding counties makes his opinion valuable. He says the fibrolite-—a changed corundum—is a rather rare mineral in this State, but that it occurs massive in this locality. The erystals of corundum are perfectly formed hexagonal prysms. ee = Cable Creek. Cable Creek is a small stream which has its source somewhere near Davis mountain, in Randolph county, and empties into Buck creek some three miles below its source. For a long time this short stream has been known as a prolific source for placer gold, and washing the dirt and gravel on its banks has given occasional employ- ment to the people living near for more than fifty years. There is now con- siderable panning all along this branch. The workmen dig down through the alluvium one to two feet to the grit bed which is panned or washed in rockers, paying one dollar and upward aday per hand. In some places the have turned the water from the origi- nal channel and are engaged in dig- ging and washing the bed grit, which is also profitable. Recently they found while panning, small quantities of | quicksilver in some of the gravel beds, and at a depth of two feet under sur- face soil. This was doubtless used long ago and by persons unknown to anyone living in the neighborhood now. ———___- ao — First California Nugget. In the Smithsonian Institution, at Washington, is the small nugget of gold, alittle larger than a pea, that first met the eyes of James Marshall in the saw mill raceway at Sacramento, and was the beginning of those discoveries in Califor- nia that have added nearly $1,500,000,000 in gold to the world’s stock of the pre- cious metals—Exchange.

More to- bacco has been raised in Rowan, Davie, Davidson, Randolph and other ‘counties adjacent than ever before. Everything sis to a better year in business than or several years past. i has al- ready become recognized as destined to bea large tobacco market; her public spirited citizens have by their vim and enterprise induced several manufacturers and leaf dealers to locate here. These will need a large amount of Tobacco dur- ing the coming year. To meet the de- mands of this growth in the tobacco bus- iness and to accommodate our farmer friends in a pac to sell their tobacco we have erected the ‘Iron Clad Warehouse,” which for accommodation, convenience, utility, and novelty we claim is not sur- passed ay any in this country. The sen- ior member of this firm has an experience of over 30 years in the tobacco business, and will give his personal attention to the handling and selling of all tobaccos brought to our house. We will have an opening sale on the 25th of this month, at which time we hope and expect to serve many of our friends and the public gen- emily. It being our aim to always serve the best interest of the farmers, we respect- fully submit the following: A mistake that is made by many of our friends is in not taking care of their tobacco after it is made. Tobacco raised and cured fine is often greatly hurt by allowing it to get too high in order and thereby to turn red. Frequently tobacco is damaged in value by carelessly assorting, bundlin and handling. We therefore advise our Friends to carefully assort their tobacco, both as to color and size—to tie it in small bun- dles, as smoothly as possible—not to allow it at any time to get in very high order, and especially to market it in as large parcels as practicable, as very small par- cels are frequently overlooked by buyers. More money is saved by properly hand- ling and caring for tobacco than is made by raising it. We shall keep ourselves posted as to the general condition of the markets, and will take pleasure in giving what infor- mation we have to our patrons at any time.

I ‘SALT RHEUM OR ECZEMA. In April, 1884, there appearaed on my feet and legs what the doctors called Salt Rheum, which produced intense suffering. I tried a great many remedies, and had the attention of one of our best physicians, but received no permanent relief. The dis- ease continued to grow worse and my limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finally induced to try Swift’s Specific, and after taking four bottles relief came. I contin- ued, however, untilI had taken seven bottles, and am now sound and well, and not a siyn of the disease left. My general health has greatly improved, and I most cheerfully recommend 8S. 8. 8. as being the best blood purifier that I have ever known. Mrs. M. 8. Highsmith, Lulaton, Wayne Co.. Ga. May 19, 1885. HELPING CANCER, I have been afflicted a number of years with cancer, and have tried all the reme- dies suggestcd for this terrible disease without any benefit. Six bottles of the Swift’s Specific has done me more good than all the medicine I had taken. My ‘yength has returned, and I can_ walk ‘ier and take more exercise than I bave on able to do for years. Its effects have been wonderful and the cancer has preatly improved, W. Shiesling. Griffin, Ga., May 1, 1885. Swift's Specific is entirely vegetable, and scems to cure cancers by forcing out the impurities from the blood. MERCURIAL POISONING. For 25 years I have suffered from the effects of Mercury and Iodide of Potassium. I was salivated in a most fearful way, and was given up to die. Ihave bad no relief from anything I have taken for it, and I have tried everything, until now, thatI have taken a course of Swift’s Specific, It has entirely cured me. It also cured me of It also cured me of sciatic rheamatism, from which I have suffered for many long years. Iam now well of both, and there is no evidence of mercurial poisoning or rheumatism about me. O. F. Russ, With Howe Scale Co. Albany, N.

People were not intended to live, like bears in the woods, in comparative solitude.

Senator Jones, of Florida, who is dis- ; tinguished for his large knowledge and |sound judgment, and whose kindness of heart leads him to advocate the cause of the injured and oppressed, whoever and wherever they may be, attended the re- cent session of the National Prison Con- gress at Chicago, and there strongly and justly opposed the practice of sending to Northern prisons Southern men convict- ed of violating the Federal statutes. This practice, which he denounced as inhuman at all times, grew out of the as- sumption on the part of authorities that persons convicted at the South of violat- ing the election laws, at elections for members of Congress, could not be safely confined in Southérn prisons, because of the strong local sympathy that would be manifested for them, and _ the probability that, having friends inside and outside of the prison, they would be allowed to es- cape. A large number of this class of of- fenders was at one time sent to Northern ; prisons, who could not be classed as ; criminals, in the ordinary sense of the terin, but were treated as such and com- pelled to herd with criminals. The principal prisoners seut from the South to Northern prisons, by the judges of the United States Circuit Courts, more- over, have been offenders against the United States internal revenue laws. The Constitution provides that “in all crimi- | nal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy , the right to a speedy and public trial by ) an impartial jury of the State and district | wherein the crime has been committed.” While this provision has been observed, feven at the South, it looks like an ex- treme stretch of authority to condemn a man in one State and compel him to serve out his sentence in another, at a remote distance, in a climate much more severe than that to which he is accustomed, and among a people who may not be disposed to treat him with impartiality. Senator Jones argued that this disposi- tion of Southern offenders constitutes an extra and unnecessary punisnment, and one which, coupled with the rigors of prison life, tends to injure the health of many of the prisoners. He assumed that it Was not the intention of the Govern- ment to impose extra punishment in this Way, and maintained that the course adopted was altogether unnecessary, since there are many places at the South to which Southern prisoners can be sent, und securely kept. It is estimated that there are at this time over 2,000 United Siates prisoners in Northern penetintia- ries, a large number of whom are from the South. There is nothing in the nature of the offenses comiitted by the latter class which justifies cruel and unusual punish- ment, and vet the punishinent inflicted upon them is both cruel and unusual. To violate the laws of the United States, ex- cept where blood has been spilt in resist- ine arrest, is not an Gilense of so grave a nature us murder and robbery and violent assault upon the person, yet the perpe- trators of these crimes are imprisoned near their homes, while the ignorant mountaineers or colored men who run il- lieit: stills, or deprive the Government in some other way of a small revenue tax, are punished by being sent to a prison a thousand miles off, where they are de- prived of (hat oecasional communication with members of their families which prisoners are generally allowed to have, and which constitutes nearly the only | qinciioration of their lot. \ Besides the objections urged by Senator Jones, the present practice involves con- id altogether needless outlay by the Government, for the travelling ex- penses of marshals, their deputies and the prisoners, in going to and returning from the prisons. On every account, there- fore, the practice referred to is unjustifia- ble, and the proper steps should be taken to put an cnd to it. It legislation is nec- essary, it will be sufficient to provide by law that, whenever proper quarters can be had in the State prisons, the persons /Who shall be convicted in the United ‘States Courts shall, without exception, be confined in their own States. They will be as safely guarded as at the North, their punishment will be what is contemplated in sentencing them, and they will be spared the unwarrantable hardships and cruelties to which they are now exposed. —Charleston News and Courter, siderable ai cere — > © D> 6 —— ed Asylum Physician.

C., Grant’s Threat to Hang Gov. Tilden. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 4.—The Iavyes- Tilden controversy is receiving more than ordinary attention in the western news- paper press in view of the radically dif- ferent statements which have been made Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, who was an intimate friend of Gen. Grant, and Capt. A. FE. Lee, of this city, who en- Mr. Lee was called to the reiterated state- ment of Mr. Childs that Gen. Grant had expressed to him the opinion that Mr. Tilden was elected. After reading over carefully the assertions of Mr. Childs, as or to the Herald, Capt. Lee said : “Without denying, Mr. Childs seems to discredit my statement that Gen. Grant told me that he would have hung Tilden had the latter undertaken to be inaugu- rated as President in lieu of Hayes. Yet Gen. Grant did make tat very declara- tion to me ontwo different occasions. We were discussing the fhreats of some of the Democratic leaders-~as, for instance, that of Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, thatan army 200,000 strong would march on to Wash- ington in support of Mr. Tilden’s claims —and the intention of Mr. Tilden to go to Washington and be sworn in as Presi- dent, when the General remarked : “TF HE fineaning Tilden] HAD UN- DERTAKEN TO DO THAT LWOULD HAVE HUNG HIM.’ “These were Gen. Grant’s very words. On the second occasion the General, after saying that he would have hung Tilden if the latter had attempted to be inaugu- rated, added : I would like to have Hayes know that.’ ” Capt. Lee was asked if Gov. Hayes’ life was threatened during the controversy about the count, and he said: ‘Yes, he received a great many letters from differ- ent parts of the country threatening him With death if he should undertake to as- sume the Presidential office. He seemed to care nothing about them, and after ex- amining one or two, refused to look at any more.” ee ——___— ape The Execution of Criminals. In the recent Legislature of Georgia a bill to make the execution of criminals private failed to even attract much atten- tion. There can be no doubt of the inju- rious effects of public hangings. They do not impress scoundrels, they give the vil- lains a sort of triumphant departure from mundane scenes, and their general ten- deney is demoralizing, nay, brutalizing. All know the character of the crowds that gather on such occasions. The ignorant, the vicious, the debased are all there. What is there in a public execution as or- dinarily presented to awe men into doing better and to teach an objective lesson of death that shall not be forgotten? Have these oft-repeated hangings before gaping and wondering thousands had any saluta- ry effect in deterring crime or suppress- ing immorality ? The tragedy of the gib- bet is not at all calculated to make bad men stand appalled in the vin- dication of outraged law. But it famil- jarizes bad or ignorant men with such scenes and it hardens them—makes them more callous, more brutal. They see a quick shrift in the midst of attending thousands, accompanied by military dis- play and even the expressed sympathy of Inany in the crowd, But let the execu- tion be private. Let the hangman and a dozen witnesses gather in a room to carry out the extreme penalty of the law. Let the multitude gather on the outer wail and stand in silence, in solemn expectan- cy. Here there is no pageant. The crowd knows that a fellow inortal is with- in paying the penalty of outraged law. They feel a deep awe settling down upon the soul and when all is over and the an- nouncement is made that the criminal is dead, then there is one great sigh from the waiting crowd and then they turn away feeling that there is indeed some- thing awful in death and something ma- jestic in law. The object of executions should be to check crime. To do this private execu- tions subserve a surer end. Such is the judgement of close observers. As they are now conducted they draw the worst part of the population from their duties, break up the regular occupation of a whole community and make a grand show—a sort of celebration of crime triumphant.— Wil. Star. ee ae Tarring a Rat. Rats are wonderfully clean animals, and they dislike tar more, perhaps, than anything else, for if it once gets on their jackets they tind it most difficult to re- move it. Now, I had heard it mentioned that pouring tar down at the entrance of their holes was a good remedy ; also, pla- cing broken pieces of glass by their holes was another remedy. But these reme- dies are not effective. The rats may leave their old holes and make fresh ones in other parts of the house; they don’t, however, leave the premises for good. I thought [ would try another experiment —oneI had not heard of before. One evening I set a large wire cage rat trap, attaching inside a most seductive piece of strongly smelling cheese, and next morn- ing I found to my satisfaction that I had succeeded in trapping a very large rat, one of the largest I have ever seen, which, after I had besmeared him with tar, I let loose into his favorite fun. The next night I tried again, and succeeded in catching anothor equally big fellow, and served him in the same manner. I could not follow these two tar-besmeared rats into their numerousruus to see what would happen; but it is reasonable to assume that they either summoned together all the members of their community, and by their crest-fallen appearance gave their comrades silent indications of the mis- fortune which had so suddenly befallen them, or that they frightened their breth- ren away, for they and all forsook the place and tied. The experiment was emi- nently successful. From that day in 1875 till now, 1883, my house, ancient though it is, has been entirely free from rats; and I believe that there is no remedy equal to this one, if you can catch your rat alive. They never came back to the house again.—Chamber’s Journal, —_—— ED Se a A horseshoe has been invented that comes on and off like a man’s shoe.

MR ae AER A BEE RIO + ES NE ESET IE IEE IB ESET Cancer Cured, About three years ago there appeared on my right breast several hard lumps which gave me almost intolerable pain. They continued to grow, and finally de- cer of the breast. In a short time I found my strength gone und my constitution a total wreck. From a robust woman I was reduced to a helpless invalid. Seve- ral of the best physicians of Atlanta treat- ed me tor cancer, but without improving my condition in the least, and finally agreeing that they could do nothing more forme. The cancer by thistime was eat- ing out my very life, and for tive months I was a helpless, bedridden creature, About one year ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Icommenced the use of Swift’s Spectic. The first influence of the medicine was to increase the discharge, but after a month or more I began to improve, and this won- derful medicine bas brought back my health again. I now do all my own house- work, Lam perfectly free from pain, and feel like & new person altogether. I can not feel too grateful for this wonderful re- covery, for I am satisfied if it had not been for Swift's Specific I would bave been in my grave to-day. I most cheerfully rec- omm:nd it to all those who are suffering with this fearful disease. Mrs. Jann CLEMONS.

In 1828 the dece , With Philo was editor of the Western Carolinian, from which branched the Salisbury Watchman. — Winston, Sentinel. The above is not correct. Mr. Bing- ham’s name was Lemuel, and it was in 1823. not 1828, that he and Mr. White edited the Western Carolinittn. The Watcuuan. sprang from the excite- ment of the times, and was started in opposition to the Western Carolinian in 1832, during the great “nullification excitement.” The late Hon. Burton Craige was then editor of the Western Cara!inian, and was exerting a pewer- ful influence in Western North Caro- lin. in favor of the nullification move- ment. The “Union party” of the day sought to counteract this, and the late Hamilton C. Jones, Esq., issued the first number of the WaTCHMAN in Op= ition to nullification on the 28th of July, 1832. Mr. a aay was at that time editor of the Yadkin and Catawba Joarnal ; or, it may be, had but recent- ly sold out to Hagh Welsh, who con- deel the paper about three years and then discontinned it. Generous All Around. It will be remembered that a year or more ago one Capt. White, freight conductor on the R. & D. Railroad, was terribly mangled by one freight train’s overtaking and telescoping another, be- tween the Yadkin bridge and Holts- burg. Capt. White was in his caboose writing, unconscious of the approach of another train, when the crash came. His lower jaw bone and several ribs were broken, one ear cut off, and other injuries were received that made his re- covery doubtful. But he has pulled chee ee ; and instead of pur- suing iiic usual course of suing the road fur damages, he not long since addressed a communication to the Railrosd ‘anthorities in which he stated that fiu.u the effects of the injuries sustaiued at the time of the accident referred to, he was permanently disa- bled ; that he had a family dependent upon hin for a support, and appealed to them for help. hereupon he was presented with the sum of six thousand dollars in cash by the Company, and was further assured that when he be- came able to work in any capacity they would give him a position for life. Marriage Bells—Battle— Wilson. The event in Morganton society for the season wasthe marriage of Mr. H. B. Battle, of Raleigh, to Miss Alice M. Wilson, the lovely and accomplished daughter of Maj. Jas. W. Wilson. Dr. Kk. P. Battle, Jr, F. B. Dancy, T. K. Bruner, and Geo, MeCorkle com- prised the ‘groom's escort to Morgan- ton, where the ceremony was perform- ed of “Wednesday evening of this week, ut the residence of the bride's father, by Rey. Dr. R. B. Andrews. Whild there were no attendants in the ordjnary* acceptation, yet in a sense there were. The following couples— near relativés—participated in the order named: Dr. K. P. Battle, Jr., and Miss Louise Wilson ; Mr. F. B. Dancy and Miss Nannie Erwin, preceded the couple.as they appeared in the brilliant- ly lighted .parlors. _ Thé- ceremony was brief but very impressive, and was witnessed by a large gathering of the friends of both parties from al parts of the State, who tendered hearty congratulations. The resents were: numerous, costly, and autiful. The happy pair, after the congratulations were over, repaired to the depgt, where a special car was in waiting for them and party. Mr. Battle and wife have gone North, where they will spend several weeks before , returning to their home in Beret: A large number of the friends of the bride and groom were given an elegant supper by the bride's parents on Tuesday evening, which was a most enjoyable social occasion. A Business Court. The Iredell juror must be a business man, and Solicitor Adams an expert in presenting facts to the aforesaid. The Solicitor picked up a bill of indictment and casually examined it, called the witnesses, tried the case, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. The crest- falle, prisoner was landed in jail. The Solicitor on examining his bill of indictment tore closely discovered that the Grand Jury had not found a true bill! The prisoner was released. All this is said to have occurred last week at the Statesville Court. In Luck. _ Henderson Reeves, of Raleigh, has ust found a thousand dollar n- ack bill. He wrapped a small piece of gold in what he supposed to be a! Confederate note, some twenty years ago. . On opening it he discovered that t .e bill-was a greenback note.

The Servian war is progressing with all the horrors usually attendant upon such contests. Reporis are conflicting, and it is hard to say which side is gain- ing. A dispatch of Nov. 24th says Sofia is wild with excitement at the news that Prince Alexander is slowly but surely driving the Servians from Bulgarian territory. On last Saturday his excellency Gov. A.M. Scales appointed E. T. Boykin, of Sampson county, Judge of the Su- perior Court of the 6th district, to fill the unexpired term of Judge McKoy, deceased. Judge McKoy’s term expires in 1886.

A few days ago the taril and anti- tariff champions, Representative Morri- son and ex-Speaker Randell, met by | chance in the office of the First Assistant Postmaster General. The late antago- nists on the tariff question shook hands cordially, inquired about each other's health, and chatted in a way that refuted the allegation of personal ill-feeling be- tween them. . Mr. Randall spent three hours with the President one cvening this week, and they talked about changing the rules of the Lower House, so as to permit more legislation during the coming session. The President favors as much Jegislation as can possibly be crowded into the ses- sion. He indorses the plan to divide the appropriation bills among the commit- tees. He has said the tariff could very well go over until next session if neces- sary, and that there were mor? important matters to look after. He also favors ac- tion on the silver question, and a good deal of his message will be given to that subject. The situation in which the President will find himself in reference to the Sen- ate on the meeting of Congress will be peculiar. The majority of the Senators are opposed to him in politics. Some Democratic Senators are opposed to the course he has pursued in regard to ap- pointments. Some of these have declared their intention of opposing him on the ground that his nominations are not Democratic in the sense that they should be, and further as a means of forcing him to make more changes than he seems in- clined to make. To the Sénate thus con- stituted, the President will have to sub- mit a variety of nominations. Its attitude towards him will be watched with great interest. ASHEVILLE, N. C., Nov. 20th, ’85. Having been appointed by His Excel- lency Gov. Scales to represent the State of North Carolina in the exhibition in ‘London, England, in May 1886, I wish to make the best showing possible of the re- sources of this highly favored State, so as jnot only to sell tracts of land, but to ;bring in capital to develope the various branches of industry now laying dormant. In order to accomplish this, I will require the co-operation of the inhabitants throughout the Jength and breadth of the State, ant would request them to send me’specimens of minerals, timber, cereals, tobacco, fruit, vegetables. clays, fertili- zers, native building stone, mineral wa- ters from the different thermal springs; also ornithological and entomological ispecimens; ina word everything to at- tract the attention of people seeking in- vestments in Jands, and the general industries which the State so largely offers. As it is my intention to represent properties seeking capital for their de- velopment, and to attract for that pur- pose both capital, and skilled labor, in order to do this it would be necessary to exhibit representative specimens trom different actual merited properties throug- new mode of clearing its pay rolls. In. | oUt the various counties of the State, 0 Y car, subject, as was the experience of one in Georgia, to be stopped and robbed, it gives checks to aV- the Bank of Asheville andthe which would bear inspeetion, and inves- tigation, and fully realize the representa- tions made by me, It is further my intention to makea specialty to divert the tide of emigration to this favored State by making known the numerous advantages it has to offer in comparison with many other States and Territories in climate, resources, &c.; also to open up direct communication for the sale of tobacco in the European markets, and thereby prevent other States from deriv- titled “The Great Monetary Powers,” ac- | gentlest companied by his card and compliments. | regimental friends told me yesterday that have come to the city,| pression of surprise that a full grown have been hunting up literature relating | man would succumb to what at best | ;scemcd but a sickly fancy hisreply was, : “It is instead a terrible disease, and as | in his case attacks only the bravest, and most loving. | he was the bravest man he ever saw, and | : i .

Leaning over jhim, his face was wreathed with the sweetest smile I have everseen ona human countenance. He was incommunion with her for whom he was dying. To his dis- tempered faney she was with him (per- haps in some occult way she was) and after weeks and months of misery, he was in the seventh heaven of happiness. “Oh, my own darling,” he whispered, “T knew you would come. God_ bless you, my precious.” They were his last words, as I remember to have been told, for the next day I too was a_ prisoner to my bed, and had it not been for my wife and little one in far off home, would have envied him who required no further vigils. The news had penetrated beyond the prison bars, that our lines had broken at Spottslyvania, and for the first time the | realization of possible failure had entered my mind. The effect produced was not neuralgia, for I was not unacquainted with that before. It wasthe incipient stage of life’s supremest which culminated ere long, under the mythic apple tree at Appomattox.

Here the lawn mower has kept it closely cropped and it forms adense matting on the ground —so much so that one in walking over it is strongly reminded of a Brussels carpet. In a few years it will probably supplant the prettier blue grass and white clover, as it is a vigorous grower and very tenacious of life. > To Whom it May Concern.

Prof. Tiernan is a practical fman, and has labored long as field geologist and mining expert. Should his work con- tinue favorable at the locality named the property will change hands. The development at present reaches 50 feet, but the intention is to sink 100 feet before they do any other prospecting. —~<>- —_— -—— Frick Mine. Mr. Geo. F.

E., of Raleigh, s here this week. He has been visiting nines, and is doing some work for the Department of Agriculture. Cherckee Gold. There have been some recent and yaluable finds in gold bearing districts in Cherokee county, on the waters of the Hiwassee river, and also in Georgia, just over the N.C. line. As- says of these ores average as high as S75 per ton, specimens gathered all the way from the surface to a depth of 103 feet, which is as deep as any of these localities have been mined. Prof. Wm. Beall. a thoroughly com- petent and reliable expert, who has made a specialty of tra-montane min- cral section, says that he has examined one section in Cherokee county with the following results: “I find gold in almost every branch running down one certain ridge on either side at almost any point up to where water can be had, or rather, to a certain line on the opposite side, above which no placer gold is found. This ridge runs as much ag six or eight miles, or perhaps more, with only occasional . breaks, where gold is not found on the surface. My opinion is that one large vein traverses almost the entire length.of this ndge. L shall, at the first opportunity trace out this vein and make other necessary examinations.” $$ The Gold Hill Mimes (Limited.) A SPIRITED MEETING IN LONDON. ‘A NEW COMPANY ORGANIZED. (Condensed from London Minjng Journal, Nov. 14.) An extraordinary gencral meeting of shareholders was held at the Cannon St. Hotel. on Tuesday—Mr. Jno, F. Lover- ing in the chair—to pass resolutions for the voluntary liquidation of the company with the view to its reconstruction, Mr. Snell (the solicitor) read the notice calling the meeting. The Chairman said he regretted to find him- self in his present position. * * * The instruction given to the committee was to see ifthere was a chance of reconstructing the company, and not to give a report upon the working of the old company, and he hardly thought it would be a tair thing to lay before *« committee, end, certainly if the committee tuld that the only duty expected from the com- mittee was that they should look into affairs, and see if Gold Hills were worth resuscitating, and if so propound a scheme by which that could be easily and best dove. ‘The first thing which the committee had to do (four of them) was to. subscribe 501, each and send it out in order to save the concern from being sold bodi- ly. Mr. Holmes out there had been paying the men fora considerable period, and no doubt began to get a little tired of it, and letters came over to this country to the etfect that un- less money was sent out b) " certain date the whole of the machinery woul: be sold by the em- ployees t recoup them the wages due. The committee, theretore, felt, bound to send out that money in order to protect the property until the meeting today. ‘the shareholders were per- fectly awgre that the gentlemen who formed the board on this side had never seen the pro- perty, with the exception of one gentleman. ‘he committee had taken the Dest means in their power to ascertain whether there was anything in the mi tors, prior to the edmmittee beit did.the- seme thing: The cueace aca ceived letters from Mr. Holmes, who they were told, was an undoubtedly respectable man, and & man-upon whose word they could rely. The Chairman went on to read extracts from the let- ters, which gave a very encouraging account of the value and prospects of- the mine. The Chairman wentonto say that the men who had the spending of the money at the starting | of the conipany were not happily selected. He was desirous to avoid throwing stones, but he did not think that the men were selected with that amount of caution which one would exer- cise if dealing with one’s own property. The committee had interviewed Col. Cochrane, who had been on the spot, and that gentleman spoke very well indeed of the property. He placed the highest reliance upon Col. Cochrane’s word as a gentleman, but Col. Cochrane was not aminer; therefore, he did not think that Col. Cochrane was quite the man they ought to get a report from. The Chairman went on to refer to Mr. Emmons’ work on North Carolina, in which the author spoke highly of the aurif- erous capabilities of the Gold Hill property, and stated that 400,000/. worthof gold was pro- duced from the property up to 1856. As he (the Chairman) had not seen the mine, the shareholders would not expect from him any statement as to what the mine looked like; but from what he had heard from Mr. Holmes, Col. Cochrane, and Mr. Walter Tregellas, the com- mittee thought it wise that the mine should have another trial, and that they should en- deavor to find the money to send out a mining manager who was worthy of the post. This was a difficult job. The company was*without directors, withouta secretary; it was really like a shipinthe middle of the ocean withouta rudder. There was a committee, which would go outof office as soon as this meeting was over. His own opinion was that there was something in the mine. He himself was « hold- er of 100 shares, and of 200/. worth of deben- tures, all of which he paid par for. The scheme of reconstruction was shortly this—that the de- benture stock with interest should be transfer- red to debenture stock in the new company for the same amount, but that the interest in fu- ture should be 5 percent. instead of 10 per cent. That the company should have the op- tion for two years from Christmas, of paying the interest in cash or in fully paid shares, reckoning them at 5s. per share—that was to say, four shares to the sovereign ; therefore, if a man had to receive 100/, interest on deben- tures hew ull, if piid in shares, receive 400 shares. There were 700 or 800 preference shares, and to the holders of these it was proposed to give an equal number of the ordinary shares in the new company. Then there were 102,000 shares which were held by various parties, a large number being held by the Chairman of the last meeting or his estate. He was inclined to think that those shares would be forfeited, as the trustee would not pay upon them. It would be left in the hands of the new directors to deal with those shares in the best way they could in the interest of the company. Ti.e committee; anticipated that the shares held by the share- holders proper would be paid upon, and it was proposed to give them shares in the new com- pany with 17s. per share paid, leaving 3s. per share to be paid up. That would give the new company about 800/. There was a certain num- ber of creditors to be paid, amounting in all to 14001. or thereabouts, so the new company would have 600. or 7000/7. of cash to start with, and there were also 4U,(J0/. or 50,0000. of shares to be dealt with by tie new directors, which they would deal with in the best way they could in the event of the company want- ing more money. The programme of the com- mittee was that there should not be a lot of miscellaneous charges upon this property. There would be 15,0002. of debentures, and all other. shares would stand as ordinary shares. He strongly advised the shareholders to appoint Mr. Holland as one of the new directors, who- ever the others might be. (Hear, hear.) What- ever decision they came to regarding the resus- citation of the company, the present company must be wound up; if not they would not get rid of the fungi hanging about it. In conclusion the Chairman moved the fol- lowing resolution:—‘That it has been proved to the satisfaction of this meeting, that the company cannot by reason of its liabilities, con- tinue its business, and it is advisable to wind up the same, and accordingly that the com- pany be wound up voluntarily.” Mr. B.S: Holland seconded the motion. The Chairman, in reply to a shareholder, who said he did not intend to take up shares in the new company, said that no shareholder would be personally responsible for any expense in connection with the winding up of the old company. The resolution was then put and carried. On the motion of Mr. Turner, seconded by seconded by Mr. Cole. Mr. John. F. Lovering was appointed liquidator of the company. Mr. Snell (solicitor) then read the agreement for the sale and transfer of the property, assets, &c., of the old company to the new company. ro a or Hiddenite Mine.

Not long ago a man in Watauga coun- ty was captured by the revenue officers while he was hauling a load of blockade whisky. That night a party of seventeen friends of the man attacked the officers and recaptured the whisky, wagon and horses, and released the man. The man rhas now betrayed his friends by giving their names to the revenue officers, who have arrested sixteen of them and put them in jail at Boone.—Asheville Citizen. a Church and World. At one of his meetings in St. Joseph, Mo., Sam Jones said: “The church and ithe world here are as thick as niggers. | You go to the ball together, you goto | prayer meeting together, and you dance | together, and go to church together; yeu | drink together and you play cards together. | You ain’t got but one more thing to do, (and that is to go to hell together ; and if you don’t break off that is where you are going to.” ae Good Advice to Slangy Girls.

By malaria, how shall we escape the dread infection? is the question which the denizens cf fever and ague districts ask themselves. The answer comes from former sufferers who for years have escaped the visitations of the periodic scourge, through the protect- ing influenee of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. When the necessity for using preventive measures arises, use this means of preven- tion at once. It regulates the liver, facili- tates digestion, and liberates impurities from the system, when such exist, by pro- moting healthful action of the bowels and kidneys. Actearly. In all regions where miasmiatic vapors breed disease, it is abso- lutely necessary to be provided with a safe- guard, and this is true, though a sojourn in such localities is destined to be brief. No one can affotd to breathe malaria for a short time. The Bitters is a sovereign specific for rheumatism, debility and nervousness. Keep it on hand.

A young postmaster of a village post office was hard at work when a gentle tap was heard at the door, and in stepped a bashful maiden of sixteen, with a money order, which she desired cashed. She handed it to the official with a bashful smile, who after closely examining it handed her the money it called for. At the same time he asked her if she had read what was written on the margin of the order. ae “No, I have not,” replied the girl, “‘for I could not make it out. Will you please read it for me?” The young postmaster read as follows : “IT send vou three dollars and a dozen kisses.”’ Glancing at the bashful girl he said : ‘‘Now, I have paid you the money, and I suppose that you want the kisses.”’ “Yes,” she said, “if he has sent me any kisses I want them too.” Itis hardly necessary to say that the balance of the order was promptly paid and ina scientilic manner at that, and eminently satisfactory to the country maiden, for she went out of the office smacking her lips as if there was a taste upon them she never encountered before. After she arrived at home she said to her mother: “Eh, mother, but this post office sys- tem of ours is a great thing, developing more and more every year, and each new feature added seems to be best. Jimmy sent mea dozen kisses along with the money order, and the postmaster gave me twenty. It beats the special delivery a ea ee Boycotting Explained. N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

The answer, while it is one about which we feel but little doubt, seems to be not susceptible of being sustained by actual proof. These meteoric bodies appear to be not exactly like any of our rocks.

Indianapolis, Nov. 25.—Vice-Presi- dent Hendricks died very suddenly at his residence a few minutes before 5 o’clock this afternoon. He came home from Chicago early in the week and complained of feeling unwell, but noth- ing serious Was thought of it at the time. Last night he and Mrs. Hend- ricks attended a reception at the resi- dence of Hon. John J. Cooper, and after he came home he complained of pains in his side and stomach. This morning he was no_ better and his family physician, Dr, Thompson, was called in. He gave him an emetic and later in the day an injection. Mr Hendricks cara in his rcom all da and most of the time in bed, althou h he sat up at frequent intervals. . He received no callers, but about 5 o’clock Mrs. Hendricks left his bedside to see a caller for a few minutes in the par- lor. She was delayed longer than she expected and when she returned to the breaking up of the Irish-Tory alliance will go far to console the English Lib- erals for possible defeat in the elections to be held this week.

To Mr. Gladstone, who doubtless feels that he has taken part in his last campaign, defeat would be inexpressibly sad and mortifying, but to the young and ambitious men of the party, men who are sincerely devoted to Liberal ideas and are eager to take art in the great domestic reforms for which the time is ripening in England, the embarrassing tasks, the certain discords, and the formidable obstruc- tions which await the victorious party must cause many misgivings. and many of them would be quite willing. we fancy, to see the Tories succeed and prepare the way for a sweeping Liberal victory at the next dissolution.

On his face there was no indication of pain or suffering and his eyes were only half closed as if in gentle sleep. He died of paralysis of the brain.

Proctor, the astronomer, holds this un- seen falling meteor dust to have been an appreciable, indeed an important factor involved in the problem of the alleged growth of the bulk of our planet, and has actually tried to com- pute something of the rate and extent of that supposed increase. However that may be, our globe certainly does capture an enormous number of little foreign bodies. One or more can be seen silently streaming across the sky on almost any clear, calm night; some- times a number of them—their seein- ing course across the sky, instead of plunging straight down, being merely an optical effect. due to the angle at which the appearance is seen. ‘These meteors, entering the earth’s atmos- with more and inore velocity as they get nearer the surface, are heated to a white heat, and thus made luminous and visible by the ‘nereased friction caused hy their in- creased speed and the increasing densi- ty of the air. Most of them appear literally “burnt up,” but some, usually 'the larger ones, hold out against their own conflagration till they burst with a great explosion, or plunge intact, but red-hot, into the ground—or the sea. Without giving credence to the Wes- tern story, a few years ago, of aman being killed by one of these meteors, there is still some small degree of like- lihood that such a thing night happen; Mr. | mon place British legislation.

A Presbyterian nunister of Charlotte, Rey. Mr. Woods, defends himself in the Observer of that city for having signed a petition for the pardon of the two negroes who were to have been hanged there Wednesilay’, but who were respited, and says the law which makes burzlary a capital felony is “one of the most severe and extraordinary that any modern civilized nation has ever enact- ed in a time of profound peace.” We derive this law, if we are not inistaken, from England. It goes upon the pre- sumption that a man who enters the house of another in the nightime, when the family is asleep, for the purpose of committing a felony, will kill the i- mates in their helpless condition if it becomes necessary for him to do so in order to escape. ‘The presumption is entirely just and the law throws its protecting arm around the sleeping citizen and warns the felon who in- trades upon him that it will demand his life. It should doso. What more frightful picture can the imagination conjure up than that of the villain, armed with a knife or cocked revolver, gliding stealthily through the room im which the honest citizen is sleeping after the toils of the day, his wife and children around him? Gain is his pri- mary object, but there is in_ his heart the settled purpose to take life if the master of the house is aroused and crowds him close. If the invader had nine lives he should sacrifice them all. The man awake is able in a measure to tuke care of himself; asleep he is at the mercy of the marauder. And if the law guarantees the waking man prc- tection in person and property, how much more ample should that guaran- ty be when he lies down to sleep! It is to North Carolina's credit that “that pity which corrupts justice” has not yet so far over-iidden our sober senses as to have allowed us to strike down this great shield of the citizen—this law which says to the vicious, If you enter an occupied dwelling in the night- time for the purpose of committing a felony. you shall die.—-Statesville Land- mark, — z The Duchess of Edinburgh is fond of hop picking, and often goes out with her children into the fields.

We could get up petitions with thousands of names attached to have the burglars executed, but no citizen ought to be expected to do that in order to enforce law. Things are coming to a bad condition when experienced and conservative public journalists feel it a duty to de- mand the execution of criminals who have been fairly tried and condemned by a lawful jary; but the frequent depredations in t nis section demand it and we shall not hesitate to do our duty.

DEC. 3, 1880. THURSDAY, Desth of the Vice President. The death of Tiomas A. Hendricks, Vice President of the United States, comes on the people of the country like a Coe der elap from a clear sky. His sickness was of short duration and produced no alarm even in his own family. He at- tended a reception the evening: before, but was complaining next morning and through the day, and diced at five o'clock, p.m. Mrs. Hendricks, apprehending no danger, was entertaining callers until that hour; and on returning to the poms in which she left her husband, found him dead. He died of paralysis of the brain. The death of this distinguished citizen is, humanly speaking, 4 great national calamity. He has been conspicuous 1 the political affairs of this country for many years, and through them all has distinguished himself as a high toned, devoted friend of constitu- and the rights of the people. in his own sincere, and tional) liberty He wasa popular favorite State of Indiana, and was once its Gov- ernor. For years he has becn regarded by his Democratic friends as the man for President, and his name was brought forward as a candidate in several nation- al conventions. Along with Mr. Tilden he was elected in 1876, but was ruled out by the notorious electoral eight to seven. Few men have greater gratitude and admiration of the conserv- ative people of the country than had Mr. Hendricks. Always true and able in his support and defence of the great founda- tion principles on which the government was erected, those differing with him on questions of policy nevertheless admired and respected him. His death was a shock to all, political friends and foes alike; but chiefly, we doubt not, to those who xo recently—a year ago—hailed his election with marked pleasure The ways of God are past finding out, but finite wisdom commission of claims on the and gratitude. it is a consoling fact that in guides the affairs of states and nations, and even makes the fall of a sparrow to What can man know that is praise Hin. known by Him who rules not better heaven and earth forever! 2 > The Morganton Asylum. This usy!um is but another monument to the humane and gencrous spurt of the ral, and people of North Carolina in genera to that most earnest, kind and nobie phi- Janthropist, the late Marcellus White- head, M.1D., of Salisbury, in particular, The idea of its establishment had long cherished hope of his life. He lis time and talent to the been a gave much of | work of making known the necessity and advantages of a new and more commoii- ous asylum in the west. He labored pa- tiently and persistently in its behalf, un- til the Legislature made an appropriation and ordered its construction, A mont- ment to his memory, of Rowan granite, should adorn the centre of the grounds. It was the good fortune of the w riler to be conducted through this great build- ing recently by Dr. P. L. Murphy, the efficient and affubie superintendent. It is the best ventilated, best heated, and best arranged building in North Carolina. It is in the hands of a most intelligent and worthy board of directors—among them editors Yates and Caldwell—and is under the immediate superintendence of Dr. Murphy, assisted by our talented young townsman, Dr. E. M. Summerell. The visitor is impressed with the system and order of the place; with the cleanli- ness and freshness of the interior ; with the comforts and conveniences provided for the patients; with {the restful quiet found there ; with the pleasant demeanor and kindness of the attendants—in fact, one leaves the place feeling proud that it exists as a North Carolina institution, where our unfortunate insane, may re- ceive the very best attention. i July 4th, 1831. There was a fourth of July celebration in Salisbury in 1831, and the proceedings on the oceasion are fully reported in the Western Carolinian of July 11th of that year, the late Hon. Burton Craige being editor. It may interest readers of the WATCHMAN names of some of the men who were then actors in the events transpiring in our town. We quote as follows: “At 10 o'clock a procession of citizens was formed at the Courthouse, preceded by Capt. handsome Company of ‘Blues’ and our excellent Band of Music, from whence some of the to see the Giles’ they marched to the Presbyterian church, | where the Declaration of Independence was read in an impressive and distinct manner, and an oration at once chaste, eloquent and patriotic, was delivered by James E.

In addition to the students already there, a large number of scholarships were taken by members and friends of the Conference. Its outlook is better than ever before. Rey. T. J.

He is one of the most active men in the State, and is de- voted tothe upbuilding of our county. Splendid selection. Below is given Mr. Henderson’s letter, stating his reasons for declining. Resignation. To the Board of Directora of the Yadkin Rail Road Company : GENTLEMEN: I respectfully place in your hands my resignation as President of the Yadkin Railroad Company. I find that my public duties are such that it will be impossible for me to give to the trust you have reposed in me the time jand attention which such an office re- 'quires.. That the proposed road will be | built in the future I believe to be abso- |lutely certain. When it will be built will depend upon circumstances which we | cannot now foresee—but the time may | come sooner than we expect. I believe some corporations are now giving the subject considerable thought. I submit to your consideration a letter I have re- ceived from the President of the Wil- imington & Weldonand W. C. & A.

I expect to leave for | Washington very soon where I will be continuously engaged for the next eight | months in attending to my congressional | duties. I shall be glad at all times to as- | sist the promoters of this enterprise to the |extent of my power—but I feel satisfied | that some one should take my place as | President, as I cannot under the eircum- | Stinces perform at Washington both my duties to the public as a representative and as the President of a railroad compa- ; ny, which needs an active, live man con- stantly at work in its behalf.

The Capitol, White House, and Execu- tive Departments are draped in mourning in, and the national flag upon all the Government buildings float at half mast. When the President was informed by telephone of the death of Vice-President Hendricks, he was going down to dinner. He seemed era shocked, and showed ‘a hesitancy in believing the sad news. Then he sent for Col. Lamont, and in a short time the Cabinet officers were has- tening to the White House with serious and anxious faces, summoned by Mr. Cleveland. . The Cabinet remained in session for two hours and a half. The Commissioner of public buildings was sent for, and or- dered to have all public buildings draped with emblems of mourning as soon as possible. The Cabinet took action in re- gard to the funeral, and decided to at- tend it in a body, with the President. Mr. Cleveland would have no successor if he should die before the date of the meeting of Congress. Under the consti- tutional provision two lives interpose be- tween those of the President and Vice- The statute provides: In case of removal, death, res- ignativn or inability of both the President and Vice-President, then the President of the Senate, or if there is none, the Speak- er of the House shall act as President un- til the disability is removed or a Presi- dent elected. At present there is no President of the Senate and no Speaker of the House, and those officers cannot be elected until Congress meets. Should a vacancy occur in the meantime the Government would be carried on by the Cabinet until a President of the Senate or Speaker is elected, as it was during President Gar- field’s inability. Congress has dene nothing to avoid such a situation as has now arisen, A bill providing for a different succession to the Presidency was introduced last win- ter. It provided, when the offices of the President and Vice-President were both made vacant by death, that the succes- sion should pass first to the Secretary of State, and then to the other Cabinet ofhi- cers in the line of their rank. Such a measure would keep the power with the administration which the people elected. This bill will probably be re-introduced early in the new session and pushed for passage. It would guard against possible Republican succession to President Cleve- land, should anything happen to him, It is not thought that the death of the Vice-President can have any disturbing effect upon national politics, although of course the majority in the Senate will elect a Republican to succeed him, That will naturally give rise to a feeling of un- certainty for the reason that the death of Mr. Cleveland would change the political complexion of the administration. The effect of Mr. Hendrick’s death will be felt in Washington society. The White House will be closed against festivities for some time, such as State receptions and dinners. The Cabinet officers will also be prevented temporarily from en- tertaining. When the Senate meets it will probably be called to order by its oldest member. This is Senator Morrill, of Vermont. Then the majority will proceed to elect a pre- siding oflicer, who will be cither Logan, Sherman, Hoar, Ingalls, or Edmunds. “Which will it be?” isa question much discussed just now. Thanksgiving day at the Capital was celebrated in the time-honored way. De- ee clerks were paid otf the day yefore, so that they could prepare for the holiday in a festive way. ‘The wheels of the Government machinery were stopped, schools were closed, churches were open- ed, and families reunited, feasted, and made merry. Secretury Whitney offered to give all the clerks of the Navy Departinent a Thanksgiving turkey, and imade arrange- ments to deliver the towl to every officer the proposal. BLAIR BILL. WHAT EDITOR KIFCHEN FINDS IN IT. (Scotland Neck Democrat.) No such outrage as the passing of the Blair bill ought to be perpetrated upon the American people by the democratic party. Such unconstitutional raids upon the Federal exchequer ought to be left to the Republican party. There is no neces- sity for its passage, and no legal or reas- onable excuse for any democrat to vote for it. But there are many reasons why democrats and republicans in Congress should vote against it. The preservation of the liberties of the people and the autonomy of the States are fur more im- portant than the education of the people by the Federal government. Education will not supply the want of liberty or restore lost liberty. From our standpoint and with our convictions we view this pedagogue question inits present atti- tude as avery dangerous and desperate move against tree institutions of the coun- try andthe freedom of the individual citizen. We cannot view this measure in any other light than an entering wedge to disrupt and destroy ultimately the autonomy ofthe States. * * * Leaving out the question of the consti- tutionality of the Blair bill, we think it bad policy and poor statesmanship in a duplex system of government like ours, to allow either of these governments to make any new departures having even the appearance of invading the rights or territory of the other. It cannot be sound statesmanship or genuine wisdom for the Federal government to collect taxes from the people of the States in order to send it back to the same States to educate their children. Because each State could do this with much less expense than the general gov- ernment. The pretext that the money is already in the treasury and cannot other- wise be gotten out, is all nonsense and bosh. The government is in debt more than one billion five hundred millions of dollars which must be paid sometime be- tween thisand judgment day, by this generation or some generation which shall come after us. And the four hun- dred millions of surplus which is said to be on hand, could be paid out on this na- tional debt now, and by so duing put that amount of money in* circulation, or it could be made a sinking fund to liquidate the bonds as they fall due, or it could be used to pay the current expenses of gov- ernment and collect that much less from the people. But the seventy-seven mil- lions of dollars in this bill is a small mat- ter when compared with the evil and injurious effect of the measure should it become alaw. The great object to be sought by all democrats in the next de- cade, ought to be, to keep the Federal arm out of the States, to curtail, hedge in and limit its power within constitutional bounds. id = uy ws All money granted or abprepunted by the government is trontrolled absolutely by the government and its agents. And the money they handle will of necessity ‘influence them and that class among |which the money is distributed, in favor of the distributing power. Every school committee, school board and school and employe who would avail himself of teacher in the land Would be a Federal or a quasi Federal officer, whooping and howling for Federal patronage, Federal wer and Federal sapremacy over the ives, habits, callings and professions of the citizens of the States. And when this state of affairs has arrived, the next step would be to dictate what should be taught in each school, what religion should be taught in each school, what religion should recognized by the government what political doctrines and theories should be crammed down each child. This will be the imevitable tendency of the times, should the Blair bill become a law. Instead of increasing the number of officials 40 or 5@ thousand, the number ought to be reduced at least 30 thousand by the next Congress. Instead of increas- ing the expenses of government ten mil- liens per year, they ought to be reduced at least thirty millions. Instead of in- creasing the burdens of the people, they ought to be lightened. Instead of increasing and enlarging the Federal power and influence in the States and over the citizens, they ought to be decreased, weakened, and limited. In- stead of teaching the States and their citizens to rely on the Federal govern- ment to maintain their independence and liberties, to educate their children, and to formulate their conduct and thoughts, they ought to be taught to trust absolute- ly, and emphatically upon their own wisdom, virtue, patriotism and manhood, and to trust their own ability and judg- ment to educate their children without looking up toand receiving aid from a Foreign patronizing government. But after all, this money offered to the States Urough the Blair bill, is money collected into the Federal coffers by Federal agents to be handed back to the States by Fed- eral agents. Now why all this circuitous and expensive procedure to ‘have schools in the Btates i Would it not be much better and cheap- er, more democratic and republican, and more in accordance with the letter and spirit of our institutions for each State and county in the United States to col- lect their money and have their own schools, if they want them, under their own control and superintendence? After all, the money comes from the people. Weare not ignorant of the fact that the country is full of educational cranks and loonies at the heads of collegies, academies, and high schools. And we also know the legislatures and the Con- gress of the United States are not with- out their political and educational cranks and fools, and we are not exactly blind to the fact that this broad land of ours is full of political editorial cranks, whose stock in trade is education and civil ser- vice nonsense and balderdash. OO An Engine in the French Broad. ACCIDENT NEAR WARM SPRINGS. The shocking accid-nt which occurred near Warm Springs on Wednesday morn- ing by which Envineer Parish and Fireman Whitley lost their lives is still a subject of sad consideration by all, At the point of theaccident tall and very precipitous moun. tains shut in closely, confining the river to very narrow limits and reducing it from 150 to 60 feet in width. The river makes a short curve at this point, and it is skirted by the track of the railroad, which crosses at its narrowest and deepest point, then winds with the river around the promon - tory of the mountain just before it enters the opening above the springs. Just above this opening the river widens out, and it was near the point of widening, that the accident occurred. The train was running slowly, at the rate required when within the yards of a station, and was rounding the bluff,when the engine struck a large boulder which had just fallen upon the track, and the engine was upon it before it could be seen, and strikiny it, was thrown off the track, which being immediately above the water, necessarily fell direct to the bottom in twenty foot water. The engine was en— tirely buried in the water, and but a very few inches of the tender could be seen. Two empty box cars also went into the water, and another box car loaded with Durham tobacco and cigarettes, but this was removed without damage. The boulder must have fallen but a very short time before the accident; the Tennessee train hed but a very few moments before past the point coming up to and going from the water tank, and the track walker had passed over it after the Tennessee train had passed. Supt. McBee with other officers, and a large force repaired promptly to the scene of the accident, and proceeded at once to work, endeavoring to recover the bodies of the unfortunate victims, Mr. Par- ish, the enginecr, Was a young unmarried man, from) Lynchburg, where his parents now reside. He isspoken of in the highest terms by the oflicers of the road. Mr. Whit- ley was quite a young man, son of Mr. D. HH. Whitley, of Old Fort, and was a young man of most cxemplary character and promising habits. Owing to the severe afflic- tion with which his father bas been suffering for some time young Whitley was, toa great extent, the main dependence of the family. All have the deepest sympathy o! the public in their sad distress, so shuck- ingly afflicted.— Asheville Citizen. LATER—RECOVERY OF ONE BODY. We are glad to announce that the body of the engineer has been recovered from the French Broad river atthe wreck near Warm Springs. Hewas found yesterday afternoon in the engine at the bottom of the river, and notwithstanding he had been in the water about 4 days, his body was well preserved and looked perfectly natural. He was placed in a very costly metallic case, and, in-charge of his brother, was sent to his home in Lynchburg by yesterday afternoon’s train. He could not be reached until after the tender was moved from off the engine, and his body was found to be severely bruised in sey— eral places, A force of hands, tovether with the wrecking train from the £. 'I., Va. & Ga. Road, have been very busy endeavoring to clear up the wreck; but they have to work under so many disadvantages that the pro- gress has been very slow. A temporary track was laid running to the water’s edge, and the wrecked train is raised by derricks trom the water and pulled out on this track. The box cars have been taken out except one which floated some distance down the river. The tender was taken out late yés— terday afternoon, and work will be con- tinued in getting out the engine. It is hoped that the body of young Whitley will be recovered when the engine is moved, — Ib. oo oo or But He Won't Die. Should the President die today or be disabled there would be no successor to his office under the constitution. There is no President of the Senate, that body having failed to elect a President pro tem, as usual because of the fact that Mr. Hendricks remained in the ehair until the end of the special session, and there is no Speaker of the House, the latter being not a continuing body as the Senate and its Speaker therefore not an officer who holds over. The machinery of the gov- ernment however would be carried on by the Cabinet until a President of the Sen- field. In case of the death, removal resig- ' nation or inability of. both the President ate or a Speaker were elected, as it was, promptly.

If two months do not intervene between the occurrence of the vacancy and the date mentioned, the election is held the year next follow- ing, provided the regular presidential term does not expire the preceding 4th of March.

SS Pe Court Notes—2d Week. The term is concluded without the hap- pening of a startling event or the settling of an important cause. The divorce suit of McIntire vs. McIntire was the only civil case which reached a jury. Thetwo important cases of Warner, adm’r, vs. the W. N. C. Railroad, and McElwee vs. Blackwell, went off. for insufficiency in the pleadings. His Honor held, in both cases, that the complaint was not a suffi- cient narrative of the grievances for which relief was sought to be had, to warrant him in committing them toa jury. Had atrial been reached on these cases, the former would have consumed two days of the term and the latter six. The grand jury has been active during the term making presentations and finding bills against the malefactors and disturbers of the peace. The most important bills found were three for embezzlement re- turned against J. D, Stewart, formerly of the Dunn’s Mountain mine. The Court was highly entertained on Tuesday morn- ing by the clever and artful cross exam- ination of the principal witness for the prosecution, by the prisoner in a cotton stealing case, who wasa negro boy. The negro afterwards made a speech to the jury, which he concluded by making a final appeal to the ‘‘judgment day,” for a should be in the hands of those who will! vindication. He was convicted.

The attendants were Mr. W. C. Lindsay and Miss Willie A. Brown, Mr. J. M. Hill and Miss Sallie Chunn, Mr, W. L. Allison and Miss Belle Tatu, Mr. J. Frank McCubbins and Miss Henry E. Morris. There were many rich bridal presents. The supper*was a most elegant affair, gotten up in “ye olden time’ style and ample for the hundreds of guests present. Today a grand receptionis given the happy pair at Mr. Geo. W. Fowler’s resi- dence. — ———————< >> ——_ - ——_ “Silence of Peace’ Continued. An old Confederate soldier reading the sketch ‘Silence of Peace” in last WATCH- MAN asks: ‘‘What has become of the brass cannon that was drawn into posi- tion at the battle of Sharpsburg, by Col. R. T. Bennett, Capt. T. B. Beall, Capt. Harvey and Sergeant Weaver, all of the 14th N.C. Regiment?” It was fired by them three times with telling effect into the advancing line of the Federal troops, when the centre of the Confederate army was broken. The shots from this gun check- ed the then victorious enemy and gave Gen. D. H. Hill time to bring his reserved battery into action, thereby saving Lee’s army from overwhelming disaster, and causing that great fight to be a drawn battle. The Cotton Mill Once More. Mr. J. D, McNeely now has a definite proposition from a thoroughly trained cotton mill man to furnish machinery and to take a large amount of stock, leaving the people of Rowan “‘the small end to tote,” and giving them the ad- vantages of a cotton mill in Salisbury. This mill man says he can furnish 5,000 spindles and 170 looms, worth $35,000, and that the people he represents will take $20,000 worth of stock, provided the people of Rowan will raise the remaining $15,000. This is the most liberal offer ever received by a people, and if the mill is wanted the time for action has come. There will be a meeting of the business men of the town who feel interested in this matter, at the Mayor’s office, on Friday night, the 4th inst. a Thanksgiving was generally observed here. All places of business were closed and the streets were deserted save by an occasional pedestrian. Services were held in the Episcopal church, where appropri- ate decorations had been made, and in the Presbyterian church. As usual, a co!- lection for the orphans was taken at the Presbyterian church, which amounted to $26.88. Dr. Rumple’s discourse was brim full of interesting statistics, and his com- parison of the United States with all the great nations of the earth, was calculated to make one rejoice and be pround of be- ingeven one humble American citizen. But your reporter has no aptitude in re- porting sermons, and so leaves others to “rush in where angels fear to tread.” The turkey, America’s thank-oflering, was slaughtered generally throughout the land; the sweet and savory odor filled the air, while grateful petitions rose like insence from many a family altar. The country is at peace with all the world. The earth has been fruitful; nature munificent. There was cause for thanks and it is a pleasure to record that the day was properly observed in Salisbury. ae — Public Roads. The public roads in this county are not well kept. This statement nceds no proof. That they might be kept in better repair even under the present system is possible. For instance, at Town creek, where the Gold Hill road crosses, the railroad has constructed a puinp house over the ditch which once drained the road, and the water now runs across the road. This will be impassable when the wet season sets in. Again, three miles from town, on the Gold Hill road, at Hartman’s meadow, there is another very bad place, which could be effectually drained by a ditch not more than a hun- dred yards in length. But it is left, with an occasional brush thrown in, to take care of itself. It is dangerous to both man and beast, and it is an indictable of- fense to leave it as it now is. On the Mt. Pleasant road, at Hartman’s branch, there is another dangerous and ugly hole. Here, a ditch of no great length would drain the depression in the road, and it could then be kept in fair condition. These points are given by a gentleman who travels the ro a great deal, and as he called to endorse our remarks touch- ing the place criticised at the McCoy farm in our last issue, gave information of bad management at other places—and these places are respectfully referred to the grand jury. The ATCHMAN is opposed to the present system of road working, and _ be- lieves that the farmer should be relieved of this unjust burden. But until some better system supersedes the present one, those whose duty it is to look after the roads should see that they are properly worked, and kept in at least passable condition. EO ADVERTISE. All admit that the business of the town is improving, and that the outlook for the future is most encouraging ; yet there is an indifference on the part of some of the business people to push their business and to co-operate in the movement toward the general progress of the community. There are more than fifty business houses here, besides a large number of gentlemen engaged in the various professions. Of these just sixteen are represented in the columns of the WATCHMAN, while the great majority are not represented in any ofthe papers published here. Suppose they were to advertise themselves if only in a brief card, what a show it would make! The stranger looking for a place at which to locate would at once say, “This is a live town, I will go there.” Our newspapers are working hard, and doing much more than their share of the work necessary to the upbuilding of trade and the industrial interests of Salisbury ; but these papers may blow and blow, but if not seconded and sustained by enterprise and liberality, there can be little efficacy in the blowing. That man is sadly mistaken who supposes that by unaided, unbacked efforts a newspaper can blow a town into acity. If you want to “boom” the town, advertise your busi- ness and try to draw additional trade to your counters and shops. Try it. This is necessary, and is the most efficacious and cheapest means at your command. The tide of trade has turned toward us— let us spare no efforts to increase and re- tain it. Advertise yourself and business, and do it thoroughly. No matter with whom you advertise, the point is to ad- vertise, and thus lend your name and business to the aggregate of the town’s enterprises. Come! Show your hand, and don’t let the newspapers do all the work without remuneration or thanks. rr i oe SANGERFEST. The Salisbury Choral Union gave a rare musical entertainment at the resi- dence of Rev. J. Rumple, D.D., on last Friday evening. The Union has only been organized a short time, but under the guiding hand of Miss Linda Rumple, musical director, they were enabled to win the applause of the hundred or more guests present on the occasion named. The programme was rendered as publish- ed in last paper, with the exception of Mrs. L. S. Overman’s solo, that lady being too hoarse, from cold, to partici- pate. Some of the selections deserve special mention. Miss Rumple’s piano solo— Variations in A Major,’’ Beethoven —was most artistically and soulfully ren- dered. Her great reputation as a pianist made this solo one of the chief attractions of the evening. ‘‘Life’s Dream is o’er,” vocal duet by Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Griffith was loudly applauded. It was charming- ly rendered andthe blending of their rich voices—tenor and contralto—was perfect and most pleasing. Mrs. Thos. Murphy’s soprano solo—‘Flower girl’s Song’’—was, delightful. Her voice is wonderfully musical in the higher tones and her trilling is as graceful as it is clear. “Sweet and Low’’—trio—by Misses Mock, McNeely and Shober was just what the name implies, and it charmed the audience, if applause is an indication of pleasure. ‘King’s Highway,” tenor solo by Mr. H. J. Overman, was also greeted with enthusiastic applause. The male quartette seemed to please the audience very much, as did also the choruses by the Union. ELOCUTION. Miss Ina MacCall, elocutionist and assis- tant principal of the Statesville Female College, was present as guest of Miss Rumple, and by request recited Poe’s Raven. She possesses strong dramatic force and has cultivated it to fulextent. Her identity soon lost as the recitation proceeded, and her audience was lost with her, so completely were they under her control, She introdu- ced some new and elfective features in the recitation, unobserved heretofore by the writer. Her audience grew demonstrative and the applause deafening. She then recited ‘“‘Suppose,’”’ and then ‘The Usual Way,” ‘No Kiss’ and “Archie Dean,” all inresponse to calls that would not cease until she appeared again. She possesses rare attainments and afforded an unex- pected but highly appreciated addition to the evening’s pleasure. Se SALISBURY TOBACCO Mak ET. A FIELD DAY a wonder- Was FOR THE GOLDEN WEED! Yesterday was the time set for the first sale in Swink & Thomason's BANNER WAREHOUSE. Some fifty or more wagons unloaded there and the immense floor was covered, all theavailable space being taken up with more than 300 piles of tobacco. Mr. LL. C. Puryear, their Virginia auctioneer, is here but was sick and unable to preside,and Craver of the “Tron Clad,” and Sheppard of the ‘‘Beall, Bost & Foard” warehouse did the selling. It isa remarkable fact that prices rute higher here than on any market inthe State, and some grades brought as much as one-third more than is paid at other places. Swink & Thoma- son aretwo well known farmers, who have embarked inthis enterprise, and they also contemplate building a tobacco factory at an early day. It is a pleasure to chronicle their success as indicated by this opening sale. They are industrious and careful men and will prove valuable additions both to the trade and citizenship ofthe town. Their sales yesterday were very successful and amounted to nearly fifteen thousand pounds. The WatTcH- MAN congratulates them, and wishes them abundant success. BEALL, BOST & FOARD, Their commodious brick warehouse was filled to its capacity yesterday with a splendid lot of bright tobacco. There were about 300 piles unloaded from sixty wagons. Sheppard’s big Voice roared away and the tobacco brought fancy prices. IRON CLAD WAREHOUSE. Hankins, Bro’s & Co. had quite a good break at the Iron Clad warehouse on yesterday. Wagons were unloading there all day. There must have have been a total of some forty thousand pounds of tobacco than one hundred and fifty wagons were employed in bringing it here. This looks like business ! Salisbury is growing fast. Her trade in- creases every day. The town has great natural advantages in location, and com- bines both a cotton and tobacce market. Let her business men be vigilant in per- suing a policy which will insure a con- tinuance of the present favorable turn. on this market yesterday, and no less; MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K: BRUNER, EDITOR. A large and probably valuable discov- ery of tin ore is reported at Glenwood, W. Va. _ * ---_--8- Wm. F. Buckley, of New York, owner of the Dunn’s Mt. Mines, has been in the city for the past week. ae ene Since the discovery of gold in the west —1848—the gold product swelled until it reached its maximum of $65,000,000 in 1853. The decline since has been steady, with a few fluctuations, until now, when the aggregate is $36,000,000 per annum. same Mineral Localities of N. C. This is the title of a book of more than a hundred pages just republished by order of the Board of Agriculture. It was compiled by Prof. W. C. Kerr, assisted by Prof. F. A. Genth, and is a valuable publication. It was first published in 1880, if the writer mistakes not, and at that time was valuable as a book of reference for mineral localities and it is true of the work to day, but ina much more limited sense. There have been many new and interesting discoveries since 1880, which, were they discribed and added to this book, would swell the number of its pages to at least two hun- dred. Why the work was not revised and proper additions made is the won- der. The Department of Agriculture cer- tainly has full knowledge of the facts which could have been added and so en- hanced both interest and value in the publication. EE > ae Sugar Springs Mine. This is the name given the newly dis- covered mine on the property of Hon. John 8. Henderson, situated about a mile from town on the Lexington road. The property consists of 229 acres and has severa! veins of mineral on it. The vein receiiiiy sxposed is about four feet wide at the point cut, which was 31 feet from the surface. A shaft of that depth was sunk and a short tunnel run to intercept the vein. The ore is quartz, with some little micacious shale intermixed, and carries the ordinary auriferous sulphides common in this district. Nearer the sur- face the pyrite is decomposed and a brown ore results, but, as in all veins of this character, the ore will be a uniform sulphide as depth is attained. E. N. Riotte, of New York, has made an assay of this ore which gives seven- teen ounces of silver, and gold to the amount of $8.79 to the ton—making the value from 25 to 28 dollars to the ton, which is high for that kind of ore. The property is a valuable one, and Mr. Hen- derson intends having this assay verified, and some further examination made in order to determine the extent of the de- posit. Present indications point to a strong and permanent lode. Mr. Hen- derson will probably have tosell the property as his duties in Washington will prevent his giving the work his per- sonal attention. . RT AR OR CR REINER SER SAE ES For the Watchman. County Commissioner. The many friends of J. M. Harrison respectfully present his name to the mag- istrates of the county for Commissioner. He is in every way well qualified for the place, and is one of the largest, most practical and successful farmers in the county. He lives in the only township in the county that has never had a Commis- sioner. MANY CITIZENS. (The WATCHMAN heartily seconds this nomination of Mr. Harrison for County Commissioner. He is intelligent and progressive, and manages his own affairs successfully ; and this is good evidence of his ability to manage well the business of others. He would make a vyaluable Commissioner. ] > —___- For the Watehman. Raising German Carp. Mr. Epiror:—I notice ina late num- ber of your valuable paper a sngeestion from ‘Wood Hauler” in regard to the Simon Shaver hole—so called because it is immediately in front of this landmark’s blacksmith shop. If there were any im- mediate prospect of the aduption of “Wood Hauler’s” plan, I should have nothing to say; but our people are slow to move un- less they can see areturn coming in be- tore the expenditure is fairly out of sight. Now, I propose: This pond already belong- ing to the connty, the County Commission- ers should stock it with carp, and employ Simon to look after them. In two years’ time it would be a source of revenue to the county, and our taxes could be mate- rially reduced. TRAVELLER. —_~4)>--—— ---—— Woodleaf Correspondence. Usiry, Dec. 1, 1885. Dear O_p Watcuman: Jeb has heralded our coming. Yes, itis time. We have left the meadows and clover fields of Steele, and are now looking out upon the broom straw and sandy fields of Unity. We find, Mr. Editor, that this world is pretty well balanced ; what is lost by moving from one place is made up by something found in another. Unity is some- what behind in clover, but she has a beautiful crop of persimmons, and no red mud to make the old woman look sulphur and saltpetre and chase a fellow around with the broomstick for not scrubbing his shoes on the door mat. We find these Unitarians a good looking, wide awake people, and we contemplate a pleasant sojourn among them.—The country is studded with tobacco barns, and the people are becom- ing acquainted with the culture, cure, and management of tobacco, and ere long the hum of the cotton gin will cease to be heard. We are too far north for the successful growing of cotton, and no farmer can afford to feed his land with commercial fertilizers, cultivate, and gather, and market cotton at an average of 8 cents per pound. There are thousands of acres of as fine tobacco land in Rowan county as can be found in the tobacco belt of North Carolina. These lands are owned by thrifty, intelligent farmers, who are being taught by experience that cotton will not pay in this climate, labor being high and cotton low. If Salisbury builds up a good home market for tobacco, the culti- vation of the weed as a staple in Rowan is assured.—We have a first-class high school in Unity Academy, under the care of Prof. Wet- more.

In April, 1884, there appearaed on mg feet and legs what the doctors called Salt Rheum, which produced intense suffering. I tried a great many remedies, and had the attention of one of our best physicians, but received no permanent relief. The dis- ease continued to grow worse and my limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finaly induced to try Swift’s Specific, and after taking four bottles relief came. I contin- ued, however, until I had taken seven bottles, and am now. sound and well, and not a sien of the disease left. My generak health has greatly improved, and I most. cheerfully recommend 8. 8. 8. as being the best blood purifier that I have ever known. Mrs. M. 8. Highemith, Lulaton, Wayne Co.. Ga. May 19, 1885. HELPING CANCER. I have been afflicted a number of yeara with cancer, and have tried all the reme- dies suggested for this terrible disease without any benefit. Six bottles of the Swilt’s Specitic has done me more good than all the medicine I had taken. M strength has returned, and I can wal farther and take more exercise than I have been able to do for years. Its effects have been wonderful and the cancer has greatly improved, W. Shiesling. Griftin. Ga., May 1, 1885. Swift's Specific is entirely yegetable, and seems to cure cancers by forcing out the impurities from the blood. MERCURIAL POISONING, For 25 years I have suffered from the effects of Mercury and Iodide of Potassium. I was salivated in ‘a most fearful way, and was given up to die. Ihave had no relief from anything I have taken for it, and I have tried everything, until now, that I have token a course of Swift’s Specific. It has entirely cured me. It also cured me of It also cured me of sciatic rheumatism, from which I have suffered ‘for many long years. Iam now well of both, and there isno evidence of mercurial poisoning or rhcumatism sbout me. O. F. Russ, With Howe Scale Co. Albany, N. Y., Jupe 20, 1885. “I Don’?

Thousands try to, but all in vain. How much better to keep your organs in good order by taking Parker’s Tonic when you feel “a little out of sorts.” It would be money in your pocket.

We mentioned in our last issue that Capt. M. J. Fagg of this city had challeng- ed the farmers of the 9th congressional district on a yield of wheat from three acres, At the suggestion of farmers down che W. N.C. R. R., he extends the chal- lenge to all farmers as far down and in- cluding Rowan county. There area great many fine wheat growers in coun- ties east of the Ridge, and we trust not less than fifty will enter the contest. Quite a number have already put in their names, Send in your name and address to Capt. Fagg or the editor of this paper, that you may be registered in duc time. Aw soon as possible, it is desired to havea inceting, or come to some understanding with each other as to what the premium shall be. If you have anything like a vood field from which a three acre lot could be measured, send in your name, and enter the contest. We hope to hear | from a great many of those large wheat | crowers in Catawba, Iredell, Rowan and lan interest in the daily work, and do much itoward stimulating farmers to always linuke as much as possible on their farms. : | —Country Homes, Hickory, N.

Mulberry Sellers, who a few years ago “went in for the old flag and an appropriation.” His grandest scheme was a great national university for the educa- tion of the treedmen, in which he enlisted all the patriotic and philanthropic statcs— men at Washington, It was generally sup- posed that he was entirely a product of Mark Twain's imagination, a gross satire upon the men and methods of the recon— struction era, but in truth Col. Sellers is still a live man at the national capital. But his big scheme pales into insignificance by the side of the great fraud known as the “Blair Bil,” which derives’ its name from the Christian statesman of New Hampshire, whose heart bleeds for the poor jliterates of the South. The general feat- ures of the bill are well known.

Where does the surplus come from which it is propos- ed so liberally to bestow upon the poor il- literates ? It must come from somewhere, and it is hardly necessary to say that these philanthropists have no idea of taking it out of their own pockets. On the eontrary, it isa device to add to the sums which they have already tilched from the farmers and Jaboring men of the country. Before it can be distributed it must Le collected by taxation, and though these taxas are so insidiously laid that the Southern farmers never know when they are paying thep, they will soon realize that they pay the IMPORTANCE OF THE ISTHMUS TRANSIT, Tne interest of the United Siates ina wd of the | practicable truisit for ships across the ig his | strip of land separating the Atlanti¢ from t his quiet | the Pacific has been repeatedly manifested used to be ment that in order to keep up the surplus they are charged an average of 42 per cent. additional upon every article which Ina summary of the Treasury exhibit . ya they use.

Congress has no right, under the censti- tution, to distribute moncy fo1 edneational purposes any more than it has the right to levy taxes for the suke of protection, and though we are not disposed to serutinize too critically its pawer of disposing, at least until the apprepriations between the sections are somewhat nearer equal, yet there are legitimate and constitutional too late now to discuss the policy of tax- ing one man to educate the children of an- other, * * < But cducation is amatter which certainly does not fall within the province of the general govern- State already. Nor, in fact, ts there any prospect of lessening the burden of taxa- tion by the grand gift distribution which home and there will be no need of Federal aid, which at last would be only what was left of the moncy paid in taxes by the peo- ple of Alabama after the protected monop- olists and the agents charged with its col - lection and distribution had reecived the larger portion. —_—— ao a “LIST OF LETTERS.

The opening dance of the season, by the Pleasure Club’? was an enjoyable affair to the devotees of the terpsichorean muse. ‘The hall was deco- rated with eedar and holly, and the walls with mikado—Japanese—ornaments. At 10 o'clock the promenade began, and it was a pretty sight. The entire party was osSlisbury Twenty-four couples the first dance. There were of visitors from adjacent towns, both ladies and gentlemen, who took part. Among them were Miss Ictta Gibson, Miss Rosa Harris, Messrs T L Sinith, Gowan Dusenbury, and J B Sloan of Concord; Miss Rebecca Schenck and Mr D Schenck, Jr., of Greensboro; Messrs Wm McElwee, T J Witherspoon and GA Allison, of Statesville; Messrs Geo Hall, JE Flemming and M Foust, of Rowan Mills; Mr Geo Gibbs of Morganton; Mr Low McBee of Old Fort; Mr and Mrs Wm Meares, and Mr Joe Meares, of Linwood. The Club have engaged the services of a band, which will be retained for some weeks and the dances will be in evening dress, envoged in a number given as citcn as it Way pleacc twse h.- terested to have them.

He visited the Veit Mountain and Huntsville mines and was much impressed by whathe saw. Mr. B. is an enterprising and safe business man, and will doubtless make his presence felt in that section next year. He has al- ready spent thousands of dollars in this State. ao -—- —_ Reception and Dance. The reception and dinner given on last Thursday by Mr. and Mrs. Fowler to Mr. Henry L. Ford and bride, at South River, is spoken of as a most enjoyable occasion. A gentleman from town who was & guest there said that a hundred and fifty per- sons dined at Mr. Fowler’s that day, and he continued; “Yes, sir; and they had everything in the world good to eat on that immense table.”” This cannot be im- proved upon. ‘Tho people of the South River neighborhood are all good livers and they know how to do the handsome thing. Jack Lindsay, Ezra Tatum, and J.C. Ford were the youngest and jolliest gallants there. That evening the festivi- ties were concluded with a big dance viven by Dr. W. L. Crump to the bride and grooin, at his residence, It was a delightful oceasion, and was on a scale in keeping with the feast which it suceceded. All that part of the country will date events from the Ford-Lindsay marriage. ee 0 OS Stabbing Affair. On last Thursday evening Sandy Tate salled-on Robt. Bruce, a laborer at the Dunn’s Mountain mine, and found him asleep ona bed in his) cabin. Tate had been told that an improper intimacy ex- isted between Bruee and his daughter, and feeling outraged he attacked the sleeping man with a butcher knife. Ife struck one blow and the blood began spurting in every direction, Tate left the room then and Bruce came out call- ing for assistance. The knife had struck the JefUarm of the sleeping man_be- tween the elbow and wrist and cut it about balf off—completely severing the flesh on one side of the bone. Tate on finding him able to get out made for him again, but bystanders interfered. He also soon learned that he had been entirely mistaken as to Bruce’s intimacy with his davehter and he immediately repented and was profuse in his apologies. He professed great sorrow for what he had Bruce felt that it, was too late to be sorry, and so the matter will go into done, but the courts. Tate waived the preliminary examination, and gave bond for his ap- pearance, <a> <p re Burned, A little son of Mr. Westly Miller, who lives near Zeb, in Franklin township, was dreadfully burned on last Saturday even- It scems that the of the family were meking a fire and using ker- this way, the overturned and the eseaping fluid: fell on ing. children osene in when can was this little boy. It caught fire just as it fell on him, and Dr. Sumimerell, who at- tended the child, says that the skin was burned from at least three fourth of its body. Ife died in great pain in about six hours. Wow frequent and dreadful are the calamities which attend the use of kerosene. It seems that people would go back to dip candles or even pine knots in view of the daily record of deaths froin this cause. GAS, This reminds the citizens of Salisbury of the matter of lights in town, The gas now made at the works is anything but It is red and gives but a feeble light. The poorness of the light and the unreasonable price asked for it deter the citizens from using it. Gas is the safest light, and many citizens would prefer it if made properly and sold at moderate figures. The Gas Company is in position to do the town some good, and this sub- ject is commended to their consideration. good. —- rr Se Oe Comfortable Quarters. 5 The town Councel here have agreed upon erecting a new building for the sccommo— dation of weary travelers. The intention is to make this a first class house in every respect, including modern conveniences. The rooms or apartments will be Const ruc— ted witha vicw tothorough ventilation and the entire interior of the building to be heatcd from The doors to each apartment will be gotten up ona style that will render it unnecessary for the occupant to open his door in’ order to see what is going on in the corridor, The proprictor, who is ex officio Mayor of the town will enter the oflice every morning shortly after water has been served to the one source, euests, for the purpose of settling with those who have shared the hospitality of the night. In addition to the rates charged for lodging and aqua pura, asmall amount will be exacted from cach one of the patrons for incidental purposes; in other words, to keep the thing running. the House during A corps, consisting of two or more servants, will be constantly in at- be to first regulate the temperature of room on cold tendance, whose duty it will nights. Secondly, to secure guests against being burglarized, secing visions, &., by locking the door to cach as svon as the guests are on the inside, and to keep the keys in hand till the proprietor enters. the office for scttlement. It will farther be their duty to be on the alert for apartment patrons, and assist all whe) through inac- tivity of the lower limbs or otherwi. care unable reach the asylum, whether in day The cdifice will go time or afterwards. up at once. Will this Opportunity Pass Also? The last proposition as regards the cot- ton mill project is from an Albany, N, Y., man. He has $90,000 worth of nearly new machinery, which he offers for $50,000. He proposes to take $30,000 in stock, leaving a balance of $20,000. He has a friend who will take $10,090 worth of stock. This leaves a balance of only ten thousand*for the people of Rowan to subscribe in order to secure the cotton mill. It looks like a success at the start. There is ‘a gentleman ina neighboring town who has notified a’ friend here that he will take $5,000 in stock. That brings the balanec to be drawn from the resi- dents of Rowan to only $5,000. What a showing is this! Will the people of the town and county allow some other out- sider to take the remaining stock? If so, the fact would be fully demonstrated that a cotton mill is not wanted here. This cannot be true, and on next Mon- day, the 14th, all who are interested are urged to be present in the Courthouse at 12 o'clock, and come prepared to sub- geribe to the stock of this enterprise, Hon Walter L. Stecle, Robt. L, Steele and O. S, Causey, all thoroughly conversant with the ups and downs of cotton mills, will addresw the meeting. If Walter L. Steele don’t make a good speech and one well worth your hearing, it will be the first failure of his life. There is not a man or boy in the county who can afford to miss this occasion. This cotton mill is but a start in the right direction, Already there is a scheme on foot for the building of an oil mill in connection with the cotton mill. And the. next important step will be the building of fertilizer works to use the re- fuse of the oil mill and other abundant waste; and so one enterprise leads to anotk- er. Start the wheel of industry and thrift will follow fast. — ae County Affairs. The Board of County Commissioners met as usual, on the first Monday of the month. W. L. Kluttz was appointed temporary chairman, and the first busi- ness was the reconsideration of the resig- nation of Chairman T, J. Sumner. Mr. Sumner was requested by the Board to withdraw his resignation and resume his duties as Commissioner. This was done, and Mr, Sumner was re-instated. [This action was irregular. The Code provides that when a vacancy occurs ina board of county commissioners, that the magistrates of the county shall fill the vacaney. ‘There was a vacancy because the Board had accepted the resignation of amember, and had called together the mayistrates—the electing power—to fill it. These were present, and should have filled the vacancy by re-clecting Mr. Sumner, if it was desired. From a legal standpoint they doubtless transcended the power given them, and acted on theit own authority in this matter. ‘These are the facts. The WATCHMAN, however, with a host of others, is glad that the old Chairman is to continue at the head of county affairs ; but deprecates the man- ner of his re-instatement, as it establishes —if not confimmed by the magistrates—a precedent which may give trouble at some future time.] If.

One hundred yards of the public road between Salisbury and Grant’s creek was ordered to be macadamized. Sheriff Krider gave new honds—$50,000 —as required by law. J. Sam’l MeCub- bins, Jr., also renewed his bonds as County Treasurer and as Treasurer of the County School Fund. The bonds of D. A. Atwell, Coroner, J. M. Horah, Clerk of the Court, and H. N. Woodson, Rogister of Deeds, were also renewed. These officers filed their annual reports, all of which were examined, approved, and ordered to be recorded in the book of official reports.

E., of Washing- ton City, was here this week. He is interested in the ore supply question of this State, with reference to the introduc- tion of a method of treatinent. He has been a very active man in mining circles west and comes freighted with the ex- perience of twenty years of practical work in the best districts of the west and Mexico. He is pleased, as far as his in- vestigations have gone, and will return later to pursue them witi a view of doing some important work. ee In Mecklenburg County the Frazier, St. Catherine and Rudisil mines are worked as usual. The Hen- derson mine has recently been reopened and prospected by Mr. W.H.N. Clark, and it is reported that the appearande of the body of ore is satisfactory. The pro- perty has always been regarded .as a valuable one by those most competent to judge. The visiting minera {n Mecklonburg— there havo been a goodly number this season—have directed their inquiries so far to supplies of ore for work, rather than to mines per se. These practical men are, as a rule, pleased with the me- tallurgical promise of the section, —_ 2 Cotton Mill Meeting. Quite a number of citizens met at the Mayor's office last Friday night to discuss the feasibility of the erection of a cotton mill in our town, The meeting organized by electing Mayor Neave chairman, and Theo, Buerbaum secretery. Messrs. Kluttz and‘McNeely, after stating the olject of the meeting, said that they had several communications in their possession, one from a party in New York State that was willing to move their cotton mill plant to Salisbury, valuing the machinery at $35,000 and agreeing to take $20,000 stock, the cit- izens of the county to supplythe balance; an- other party offered terms very similar. After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed to call a meeting of the people of Rowan and adjoining counties at our courthouse at 12 aclock Monday, December 14th. Messrs. McNeely, Smithdcal, and Meroney were ap- pointed a committee of arrangements. It was moved and carried to have another comniittee to solicit subscriptions, ta con- sist of Theo. F. Kluttz, J. A. Boyden, A. Parker, J. D. Gaskill, J. D. McNeeley, Wm. Smithdeal, and.M. L. Bean. Upon motion the chairman and Maj, & W. Cale were asked to invite Hon. W. L. Steele, R.

Oth- cr features of the number are Mrs Frances H Burnett’s new serial, “Little Lord Fauntlsroy,” and Edgar Fawcett’s charm- ing poem, “My echo,” charmingly illus- trated by Sterner.

Recently there assembled in Chicago aconvention of third and fourth-class postinasters, to protest, it is stated, against the inequalities to which they are forced to submit. Their gnevance is suid to be that their office expenses come out of their own pockets; that they are required to set up convenient fixtures, such as boxes and drawers, at their own expenses mainly, while post- tasters of the first and second class are furnished with everything they may desire, whether it be needed for the transaction of business or for purposes of office comfort only. Our sympa- thies go out most heartily to this meet- ing and its object, and) we think it strange that out of the more than four hundred members of Congress, fully 90 per cent. of whom represent these classes. of offices, that something to- ward remedying the injustice has not been attempted. The Citizen has, for the past several years, called attention to it, more specifically to our own of- tice in Asheville. Weare glad to know that Congressman , Johnston will give this matter early attention.- Asheville (tien.

We know of no better explanation than that given by Roscoe Conkling, in aspeech made in New York, September 17, 1880. _ Referring to the “bloody shirt,” he said: “It is a relief to remember that this phrase with the thing it means, is no inven- tion of our politics. It dates back to Scotland three centuries ago. After a massacre in Glenfruin, not so savage as have stained our annals, 220 widows rode on white palfreys to Stirling Tower, bearing each ona spear her and outlawry and the block made the name of Glenfruin terrible to victorious Clan Alpine, even to the third genera- tions.” ee eee Stage Intoxication. husband's bloody shirt.

I wish young women could be taught that it does not adda cubit to the stature of a house to call it a ‘“resi- dence;” that chnreh, or even a meet- ing house, is as venerable as the “sa- cred edifice;” that it is more genteel to say “retire” than to go to bed; that the garment so fondly. slowly covered with really a gown and not a “promenade costume; that it need not bring a blush to the cheek of even Mr. Pods- nap’s young person to say “leg,” in- stead of “limb,” when “leg” is meant; that the supper at an evening party is cessive stimulants, and this reminds us of Edwin) was. rarely sober on the to enable him to go through his role. Sometimes he got drunk before the hour, and the audience was obliged to submit to disappointment. George Frederick Cooke, first British star who appeared on our shores, was also a vic- tim to strong drink, which destroyed a constitution of rare vigor. idmund Kean was another brilhant victim to intemperance. He was the most won- dertul performer of his day, but he re- quired vreat quantities of strong drink, and the habit increased until it destroy- ed him. This took place in his 46th year. Like McCullough he broke down while on the stage, and sank into the arms of his son who bore him off, and the play was stopped. He ralhed, but never reappeared, and in a few weeks death closed his fevered career. Forrest in his great efforts used strong drink, but it never got that degree of mastery which proves utteriy destructive. He was the most muscular man that the stage ever produced, and no doubt this was the reason he drank Jess than some others. Intemperance, however, is the wide spread misfortune of | the drama. { — <p — | { A Confederate Match Factory. The first match factory in the Con-. federacy was in or rather near Atlanta. The owner was an Atlanta man. ‘These matches were sold from Richmond to: to the Gulf. Unlike some of our re- cent experiments in that was no trouble about igniting the| matches. A man did not have to strike one sixteen times, and finally Init it on the head with a hammer, or light it by the fire. His main trouble was to keep the thing from going off prema- turely. and the only effectual safeguard was to keep it ina bottle of water. They were the most utterly two pre- vious matches ever seen in this or any other country. ‘Fhe enterprise was never profitable. because halt the stock was invariably lost by spontaneous combustion. Wagon loads of matches on their way from the factory to the city would burst into a blaze half way on the read, scaring the driver and lis mules out of their senses. Atlanta stores handled these useful marvels of home enterprise. but custo- mers were cautioned to tread lightly for fear of jarring the matches into a conflagration, and clerks were detiuled to sit up every night to watch the trou- blesome stock. The owner of this match factory put up the stuff in which the matches were dipped. and sold it for rat poison. It certainly killed rats. but the hasty character of the stuff created such a panic in the city that the industry had to be squelched. A Whitehall street merchant bought a box of the poison one day, and carrying it to his store tried to spread dry bread as a bait for the rats. He gave it one spread when there was a “whish!” and the whole affair blazed up in his face, singing off his whiskers. the people against the new poison. They said it was too rough on rats to burn out their stomachs with sueh an explosive. A complete collection of Atlanta’s manufactured products from 80 to 65 would be worth seeing.

Mr Editor:-—There is much talk and dissatisfaction about the action of the county commissioners, in filling the in their Board themselves, }contrary to law, as all hold. First, was there a vacancy? If so, whose duty was it to fill that vacancy? Second, if |there was no vacancy why did the county commissioners call out the mag- |istrates of the county to fill one? The | tirst is clearly answered by the second, }and the second is as clearly answered | by the first, viz: there was a vacancy | caused bythe resignation of Hon. T. J. j Sumner as chairman, which they had }accepted, according to their published | statements, and they clearly understood at the time that they had no right to fill that vacancy, as 1s shown by their calling the Magistrates together to fill }that vacancy. Being according to law | the only parties that have any right by law to make a commissioners under any pretence whatever. But they seem to have change their minds by last Monday and filled the vacancy, them- selves without the aid of the Magis- trates. Is the act usurpation of au- thority, or is not? If it is, then Mr. Sumner is not legally a commissioner, and wil be lable in law for acting, and no order or other business paper with his name to it as chairman is binding. If their act is not usurpation then why call out the magistrates in such adissagreable time? lets hear. We like the man splendid, but not this action. AEs oe The Gambler Must Go. By Our Regular Contributor, Now we believe the time has come when the people are aroused against the professional gamblers and mean that this horribly pernicious and demorali- zing practice shall be stamped out. Gambling in its worst and most revolt- ing forms has prevailed and been con- doned in the great cities in the United States during the years which have followed the civil war to an extent never paralleled, perhaps, in any other country or period. The victims of this seductive and fatally destructive habit are more numerous ; the opportunities for its indulgence are more extensive, and more publicly and conspicuously advertised. Certainly the leprous evil has nowhere else become so firmly rooted in the social fabric, so complete- ly entrenched against the efforts of law, notwithstanding a multitude of ostensible statutory penalties and cor- rectives, and so potent and far-reaching in its influences. No vice is so demor- alizing, no infatuation so desperate as that of gaming. The drunkard has his sober moments, his occasional lucid in- tervals; the grasp of the devil of drink is sometimes relaxed, and the victim is allowed brief respite to gather strength and struggle for final emancipation. But he who has sold himself to the devil of play is a slave whom torment and temptation rack without intermis- sion. ie robs as ruthlessly as does the bandit or the burglar, and yet demands inmunity and even countenance. He is an active and influential politician, wielding a power at the alls which compels the silence and often the aid of men who make laws and ordinances, and too frequently insures him com- plete protection against the enforce- ment of any law intended to affect his ‘trade. He commands and directs mu- nicipal policy and patronage, sits in city councils, controls the police, and man- SALISBURY, N. C., DECEMBER 17, 1885. men so astute and determined it is nec- essary to be as pertinacious and inexor- able as they are themselves. However much they may fleece each other, they will combine for self-preservation, and no assault upon the evil will be suc- cessful which is not well organized and pe persistently as well as vigorous- . Itisa fight im which the people who are interested in the suppression of vice and crime must be enlisted against the criminals, and the champions of right must be as perfectly disciplined and as well aligned as those who are struggling to maintain the wrong. It is one of those social battles in which individuals must lend active aid—in which the public must come to the sup- port of the authorities. It is an axiom that no law can be properly enforced which is not in arco with the senti- ment of the people for whom it is en- acted. We have had abundant exam- ples of its truth. And it is no less true that, in the multitude of offenses which require correction, the officers of the law will more energetically pursue those against which the ee are most indignant, and will pay least attention to those about eich the people are in- different. It is not altogether certain that they are not right in this; they are public servants, and ought, perhaps, to follow closely the pubhe “instrue- tions.” Therefore if the public is re- ally opposed to a particular practice denounced by the law ; if it sincerely desires that an offense, however glaring, shall be adequately punished and actu- ally suppressed, it must speak out. It must even, as we have said, aid the au- thorities in combating it. In more than one State it has been made a fel- ony, and where this has been done it is said the evil has ceased. In truth, the nalties with which, gambling is vis- ited in North Carolina and some other States, while severe, and if rigidly in- flicted, might be sufficient, are of a na- ture which renders them insufficient unless enforced with a rigor, an energy, and a constancy hardly to be expected. Fines without imprisonment, have little terror for law-breakers who are levying heavy tribute upon large cammunities and are generally abundantly supplied with money. Imprisonment induces real consternation: and the bare threat of the State prison might affect in many an offender the reformation which is more to be desired, of course, than his punishment. But having once re- solved that the vice shall be eradicated, it is as certain that the better part of the community will root it out as that the day follows the night. The gam- blers will be defiant and will yield re- luctantly—they may have the advant- age in the preliminary skirmishes—but they will have to go all the same. Goldsboeo, N. C., Dec. 12. A.K. ae SCIENTIFIC NOTES. The November Meteoric Showers. The meteoric display of Nov. 27th Was visible to the inhabitants of more than a quarter of the globe. It was observed at Teheran, Persia, aid was unusually brilliant in other parts of Asia, as well as in Naples and London. What was seen in our own locality during the evening was only the end of the main shower. At the Yale observ- atory, shortly after six o'clock, forty- four shooting stars were counted in twenty-four minutes. Many of them had considerable brilliancy, and left trails of light behind them. Later in the evening, the meteors were less nu- merous, but were estimated at 100 per minute.’ They appeared to radiate from Andromeda, and as one observer can see but about one-sixth of those visible, something nes. six hundred meteors could probably have been counted in a minute had the staff of observers been sufficient. The display is due to the breaking up of Biela’s comet, a dissolution first noticed in 1846. Since then the work has progressed rapidly, until the comet is now in millions of fragments. In ages past the wanderer traveled among the fixed stars, but its path eventually approached so near the sun that the in- tense heat is supposed to have started the disintegration. Detached frag- ments trailing after the comet formed its tail. In 1840 it was observed to have become divided into two parts. This destruction has continued until the comet is but a mass of fragments, which follow the old orbit. Once in about six and two-third years the earth passes through this meteoric belt. The fraements of the comet are made lumi- nous by their rapid movement through the atmosphere, and not unfrequently fall to the earth. The display lasts as a rule for two or three hours, but va- nes greatly in its brilliancy. The last one of any importance was in 1872, when between fifty and one hundred thousand stars could have been observ- by asingle party. The display of 1879 was less striking. The next contact with the ruins of the comet occurs in 1892. Though the main shower lasts but a short time, an occasional meteor may be seen almost up to Christmas- time.—Scientific American. —_— Trial of the Dynamite Air Gun. Three dynamite projectiles were thrown from Lieut. Zalinski’s pneu- matic gun, at Fort Lafayette, New York harbor, on the afternoon of Novy. 28. The projectiles were thrown a distance of about two miles, and two of them, one containing 50 and the other ndian Vermifuge will expel them and ages everything in his own special in-! 100 Ib. of nitro-glycerine, exploded in estore health and a bright complexion. terest. But in dealing with a body of a most satisfactory manner, the other in the water without ex- ploding. Previous to firing the dyna- mite-loaded _ projectiles, experiments were made wit es loaded with sand, to obtain the proper range, and Lieut. Zalinski explained the working of the n to a larye number of visitors who ad been invited to witness the trial. An illustrated description of the gun and its mode of operation appeared in the Scientific American of Oct. 381. When the projectile containing 100 lb. of dynamite struck the water, it sent up a column of spray 150 feet into the air, accompanying which wa¢ a cloud of yellow smoke and a report similar to that made by heavy ordnance. The air pressure employed was 1,000 pounds to the square inch, and this so admitted as to realize a large part of its expan- sive force in the long gun, gave the needed velocity to the projectile, with- out a sudden ccncussion at starting, as would have been the case with gun- powder, all according to the anticipa- tions of Lieut. Zalinski. The practical demonstration thus afforded that the most powerful of modern explosives can be thus handled, even though the range is as yet comparatively short compared with that of the best modern guns, marks another and most import- ant step in the development of the means afforded for carrying on modern warfare.— Ib. ee A New Island in the Pacific. The United States Consul in Samoa has advised the Merchants’ Exchange of San Francisco that a new island has been thrown up in the Pacific Ocean. It is about forty miles off the Tonga group, bearing toward the Fiji Islands. Its appearance has a_ practical import- ance, since it is in the track of Califor. nia vessels. The island is two miles long and 250 feet high.—Ib. one sinkin Oldest Habitations in America. Maj. Powell, Chief of the Geological Survey, who has been about a month in the field, has discovered in New Mexico, near California Mountain what he pronounces to be the oldest human habitation upon the American conti- uent. The mountains in this vicinity are covered with huge beds of lava, in which the prehistoric man and his com- rades excavated square rooms, which were lined with a species of plaster made from the lava, and in these rooms were found various evidences of quite an advanced civilization, among them a species of cloth made of woven hair and a large number of pieces of pot- tery. In the sides of the rooms cup- boards and shelves were excavated. is one room, sticking out of the bare face of the wall, was a small branch of a tree. When this was pulled out, it was found that there was a hollow space behind the wall. Col. J. H. Stephen- son, Maj. Powell’s assistant. broke this with a pick and found a little conceal- ed niche, in which was a small carved figure resembling a man done up in a closely woyen fabric, which with the touch of the hand turned to dust. It was blackened and crisp, like the mum- my cloths of Egypt. In all, some vert groups of these lava villages were found, there being twenty houses in each group. The evidences of civilization are similar, but removed by their crud- ity and want of skill a good deal from the articles found in the cliff houses.— Santa Fe, New Mexico. -—>-——— -— — Borax as an Internal Disinfectant. In the Union Medicale Dr. Cyon con- firms the statement, made by Dumas in 1878, that borax is possessed of most valuable antiseptic powers. Independ- ently of its value for the preservation of food, it is a great preventive of in- fectious diseases, and may be employed internally to ward off epidemics. It may be taken for months or years with impunity, and constitutes a valuable prophylactic. Dr. Cyon states that it is aremarkable fact that in all epi- demics of cholera the workmen in bo- racic acid factories have always escaped the disease. The usual dose 1s five or six grammes (75 to 90 grains) daily, taken for an indefinite time. -_ Thanks.

At srecent political ing in Tuscumbia, Ala., Generel Colne A. Battle related the following touching story in the course of his h: Du- ring the winter 1863-'64 it was my fortune to be president of one of the courts-martial of the Army of North- ern Virginia. One bisa December morning while the snow covered the gound andthe wind howled around our camp, I left my bivouac fire to at- tend the session of court. Winding for miles along uncertain paths] at length arrived at the court nd, at Round Oak church. Day r day it had been our duty to try the soldiers of that army, ch with violation of military laws; but never had I on an previous occasion been greeted by mul anxious specators as on that morni awaited the opening of court. Case after case was pnt of, and at length the case the Confederate States vs. Edward Cooper was called— charge, desertion. A low murmur rose spontaneously from the battle-scarred spectators as the young artilleryman arose from the prisoners’ bench, and in response tothe question, “Guilty or not guilty?” answered, “Not guilty.” The judge advocate was proceeding to open the prosecution when the court observing that the prisoner was unat- tended by counsel, inte and in- quired of the accused, “Who is your counsel?” He replied: “I have no coun- sel.” Supposing that it was his purpose to represent himself before the court, the judge advocate was instructed to proceed. ae charge and specifica- tion against the prisoner was sustain- ed. The prisoner was then told to ir- troduce his witnesses. He replied: “I have no witnesses.” Astonished at the calmness with which he seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as in- evitable fate, [ said to him, “Have you no defence? Isit possible that you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors in the presence of the ene- my without any reason?” He replied: “There was a reason, but it will not avail me before a military court.” I said: ‘Perhaps you are mistaken; you are charged with the highest crime known to military law, and it is your duty to make known the causes that influenced your actions.”- For the first time his manly form trembled, has blue eyes swam in tears. Approaching the president of the court ie presented a etter, saying as hedid so, “There, (ieneral, is what did it.” I opened the letter, and in a moment my_ eyes filled with tears. It was passed from one to another of the court until all had seen it, and those stern warriors, who had passed with Stonewall Jackson through a hundred battles, wept like little chil- dren. Assoon as I sufficiently recovered my self-possession, I. read the letter as the defence of the prisoner. It wasin these words: “DrarR Epwarp:—I have always been proud of you; since your connec- tion with the Confederate army, I have been prouder of you than ever before. [ would not have you do anythi Edward, unless you come home, we must die! Last night I was aroused b little Eddie's crying. I called and said, ‘What is the matter, Eddie?’ and he said: ‘Oh, mamma, I'm so hungry!’ And Lucy, Edward, your darling Lucy, she never complains, but she grows thinner and thinner every day. And, before God, Edward, unless you come home we must die. Your Mary.” Turning to the prisoner, I asked: “What did you do when you received this letter?” He replied: “I made ap- lication for a furlough, and it was re- jected; a third time I made application and it was rejected; and that night, as I wandered backward in the camp thinking of my home, the mild eye of Lucy looking up to me, and with the burning words of Mary ang in my brain, f was no longer the Confederate soldier, but I was the father of Lucy and the husband of Mary, and I would have passed those lines if every gun in the battery had been fired upon me. Mary ran out to meet me, her angel arms embraced me, and she whispered: “Oh, Edward, I am so glad you ee your furlough!” She must have felt me shudder, for she turned as_pale as death, and catching her breath at ev- ery word, she said, “Have you come without your furlough? Oh! Edward, go back! go back! Let me and the children godown tothe grave; but oh, for heaven’s sake save the honor of our name!” And here I am gentlemen, not brought here by military power, but in obedience to the command of Mary, to abide the sentence of your court.” Every officer of that court martial felt the force of the prisoner's words. Before them stood, in beatific vision the eloquent pleader fora husband’s and a father’s wrongs; but they had been trained by the great leader Robert E.

It is anotable fact that the people of Atlanta and elsewere are beginning to be thoroughly convinced that worthless com- pounds become “shaky” at all new innova- tions, while an honest preparation never fears Opposition. Wedo not propose to “wipe out” others, as the field for operation is large, and we accord to one and all the same privileges we enjoy. Weare not so far lest to business principles as to denounce any other remedy-as a fraud, or imitation, or as containing a vegetable poison, the effects of which are horrible to cemtem— plate. The alarm need not be sounded, for there is ample room for all declining anti potash, pine top slop water compounds. If one bottle ot B. B. Bb. is more valua— ble in eifects than half a dozen of any other preparation, we won’t get mad about it. If ten bottles of B, B. B. cures a case of blood poison which others conld not cure at all, it only proves that B. B. B. is far the best medicine, 20,000 Bottles of B. B. B. have been sold to parties liying inside the corporation of Atlanta since it was started two years ago ! Why this wonderful sale of anew reme- dy in so short a time with se little adver- tising ? It must be confessed that it is because B, B. B. has proven itself to possess merit in the cure of blood, skin and kidney dis- eases. Hundreds of home certificates attest the fact of our claim that in Atlanta and many other points B. B. B. is “on top,” and will stay there. Many persons desire to know how the B. B. B. acts on the sys- tem. By entering the circulation, it modifies the vitiated blood globules, increases the red corpuscles, antagonizes all pwison, vi- talizes and regenerates the flagging forces, furnishes the pabulum for rich, new blood, eliminates all poison through the secre- tions, and increases the appetite, while, by its wonderful action upon the pores of the skin, the kidneys, liver and glandular system, all effete and impure matter is specdily conducted from the body, lcaving the blood pure, fresh and healthy. By its magical alterative powers, B.B.B. unloads the blood of all impurities, un- locks the liver, arouses all sccretions, re- stores nature to its normal condition, un- clouds the troubled brain, clears and beau- tifies the complexion,cheers the despondent, strengthens the feeble, calms the disturbed nerves, and induces quiet and peaceful slumbers. It has been in use over twenty- five years as a private prescription in the south. It is no far-fetched, foreign-found or dream-discovered subterranean wonder, but is a scientific and happy combination of recognized vegetable blood poison agents effected utter many years of constant use and experiment in the treatment of thou- sands of some of the most appalling cases of scrotulous, syphilitic and cutaneous blood oisons ever known in the State, resulting in complete and unparalleled cures of pro- nounced incurable cases.

Quite a respectable number of respecta- ble people met in Greensboro, N. C., last week, and organized a third party in this State—a Prohibition party. We are not prepared to impugn the motive of these people, but are prepared to say that, we not only cannot see any good to come of such a party, but there is reason to ap- prehend more damage to the temperance cause than benefit. The new party comes into the field bidding for allies. Will the Democratic party join them? We think not. It is too recent since the Stat piled up 120,000 majority against prohibition. The Democrats are not going to expose the fortunes of the party to euch overwhelming opposition. If the Republican party see any wisdom in this qmevement and choose to align with the “Prohibition party” they are welcome to “ @e #0; but let the Democrats stand off and seo what they shall see. We have a law in this State similar to that under which Georgia has become a Prohibition State. The following shows what it is: SECTION 3113, CODE—It shall be the duty of the Board of Commissioners of any county, upon petition of one-fourth of the qualified vo- ters of any County, Town, or Township in their respective Counties, to order an election to be held on the first Monday in June in any year to ascertain whether ornot spirituous liquors may be sold in said County, Town or Township. If a majority of the votes cast at such elec- tion shall be fur Prohibition, then it shall be un- lawful for the Commissioners of such County to grant license to retail liquors. If the third party proposed to work un- der this law, no one would object ; but when they propose to come into the political arena with candidates for Gov- ernor and all the State oflices, they are submitting the temperance cause to the dangers of another burial. ooo A Fresh Grip.

The next step, after the bill becomes a law, will be to provide where the teachers shall board or how distant they shall live froin the school houses, what kind of clothing the children shall wear, who shall teach, and and soon. Once let the Federal Govern- ment lay its great hand on the schools of a State and two things will follow as cer- tain as night follows day: the people once trained to lean upon the Federal Govern- ment for aid will be always knocking at the door of the Treasury instead of rely- ing upon their own exertions; and second, the Government thus allowed to enter the Statesin the guise of almoner and friend of education will soon dictate what A Hendricks monumenta has been formed, having for its object the erection of a suitable monument to the dead Vice President. be sent to Francis M.

[From Our Regular Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 1885, The present Congress bids fair to be a It assembled under cir- cumstances fraught with significance and For the first time in twen- ty-tive years there is a Democratic House and a Democratic President, and the par- ty is charged with the responsibility growing out of this conjunction. There is much important work ahead for the session, such as revising the tariff, suspending the coinage of silver, making a navy, providing for the coast defense, regulating the counting of the electoral vote, settling the presidential succession, and reducing government expenses. President Cleveland's first message was listened to with unusual interest in both ends of the Capitol. It is still the chief topic of discussion here. ced an able state paper by many Senators and Members who are antagonistic to its During the reading of the mes- sage, which occupied one hour and_ three quarters, the sentiments of many Con- gressmen on the various questions could be determined by their expressions of Those who agreed with the President that the continued coinage of silver is an evil, exchanged nods of approval, while the believers in_ silver scowled and otherwise manifested their The President’s positive stand on silver makes it almost certain now that this will be the first engrossing subject to come before Congress. doubtless provoke a long debate; for the advocates of silver coinage and its ene- mies are both determined. .

To the Congress of the United States : When the time comes that gold has been withdrawn from circulation then will be ap- of the silver dollar and the dollar in gold, and the two coins will part company. Gold, — standard of value, and necessary in our dealings with other countries, will be at a prémium over silver. The banks which have substituted gold for the deposits of their customers may pay them with silver bought with such gold, thus making handsome profits. Rich speculators will sell their hoarded gold to their neighbors who need it to liquidate their foreign debts at a ruinous premium over silver and the laboring men and women of the land, the most defence- less of all, will find that the dollar received for the wage of their toil has sadly shrunk in its purchasing power. ed to the chany' A place the wage worker cannot possibly gain, bat must ineviatbly lose, since the ciation. one hundred cents, even within the limit that legislation does not run counter to laws of trade, to be successful must be that both coins will retain the same pur- power at will: increase the amonut of our silver coin of the limited amount thus put out has soon returned to the public treasury in payment of duties, leads to the belief that the peo- ple do not now desire to keep it in hand. And this with the evident disposition to hoard gold, gives rise to the suspicion that there already exists a lack of confidence among the people, touching our financial processes. There is certainly not enouch silver now in circulation to cause uneasiness, and the whole amount cioned and now on hand might, after a time, be absorbed by the people without apprehension; but it is the ceaseless strenm that threatens to over- 1] flow the land which causes fear and uncer- tainty. But it is perfectly apparent that the line of action in regard to our currency cannot wisely be settled upon or persisted in with- out considering the attitudeon that subject of other countries with whom we maintain intercourse though commerce, trade and travel, THE MONETARY CONFERENCE. A acknowledgement of this fact is found in the act by virtue of which our silver is compulsorily coined, It provides that “the President shall invite the governments of countries composing the Latin Union, so called, and of such other European nations as he may deem advisable. to join the Uni- ted States in a conference to adopt a com- mon ratio between gold and silver for the purpose of estabiishing internationally the use of bi-metallic money and securing a fixity of the relative value between these mctals.” This conference absolutely tailed and a similar fate has awaited all subsequent ct- forts in the same direction, and. still we continue our coinage of silver ata ratio different from that of any other nation. The most vital part of the silver comage act remains inopcrative and unexccuted, and without anally or friend, we battle up- on the silver field in an illogical and losing contest, ENOUGIL OF SILVER, We have now on hand all the silver dol- lars necessary to supply the present needs of the people and to satisfy those who trem sentiment wish to see them in circulation, and if their coinage is suspended they can readly be obtained by all who desire them if need of more is at any time apparent their coinage may be renewed. That disaster has not already over taken us furnishes no proof that danger docs not walt upon a continuation of the present silver coinage. We have been saved by most careful management and unusual expedients by a combination of fortunate conditions and by the confident expectations that the course of the govern- ment in regaad to silver coinage would be speedily changed by the action of Congress. A CUECK TO PROSPERITY. Prosperity hesitates upon our threshold because of the dangers and uncertainities surrounding this question. Capitalists timidly shrink from trade and_ investors are unwilling to take the chance of the questionable shape in which their money will be returned to them, while enterprise halts at the risk against which care and sagacious managemenf do not protect. Irecommend the suspension of com- pulsory coinage of silver dollars directed by the law passed in February, 1878. THE ARMY.

I approve of the plan thus outlined, and recommend the legislation necessary for its application to our judical system. THE INDIAN QUESTION. IT recommend the passage of a law au- thorizing the appointinent of six commis- sioners, three of whom shall be detailed from the army ,to be charged with the duty of careful inspection from time to time of all Indians upon our reservations, or subject to the care or control of the govern- ment, with a view of discovering their exactcondition and needs and determining what steps shall be taken on behalf of the government to improve their situation in the direction of their self support and complete civilization; that they ascertain from such inspection what, if any, of the reservations may be reduced in area, and in such cases what part, not needed for Indian occupation, may be purchased by the government from the Indians and disposed of for theit benefit; what, ifany, Indians may, with their consent, be re- moved to other reservations, with the view of their concentration and sale on their behalf, of their abandoned reserya- tions; whai Indian lands now held in common should be allotted in severalty; in what manner and to what extent the Indians upon the reservations ean be placed under the protection of our laws and subjected to their penalties, and which, if any, Indians should be invested with the right of citizenship. ‘The pow- ers and functions of the comimissioners in regard to these subjects should be clearly defined, though they should, in conjune- tion with thesceretary of the Interior, be siven all authority to deal definitely with the questions presented, deemed safe and consistent, This plan contemplates the selection of | persons for commissioners who are inter- | ested in the Indian question and who have | practical ideas upon the subject of their | treatment. THE PUBLIC LANDS. The complicated condition of the land | laws is set) forth and the President com- | mends attention to the recomuneirdation | of the Seerctary of the Interior with | reference to the repeal and modification of certain of these laws. PENSIONS. The cleansing of the pension rolls of those who have been placed there by fraudulent means and other reforms in the pension service are commended, THE MORMON QUESTION, Discussing the Mormon question in Utah, the President says: There should be no relaxation in the firm but just execu- tion of the law now in operation, and I should be ¢lid to approve such further discreet legislation as will rid the eoun- try of this blot upon its fair fame. OUR AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS. “The Agricultural interests of the country,” the President says, “demands just recoginition and liberal encourage- ment.” Levislation for the protection of | our live stock against disease is recom: | mended.

For twelve or fourteen years I have been blood poison which ran into the secondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, face and shoulders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating away my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely ‘refused to let people see me. I used large quantities of most noted blood remedies and applied to nearly all physicians near me, but my con- dition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones be- came the seat of excruciating aches and pains; my nights were passed in misery ; I was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly deranged, and life became a burden to me. Ichanced to sce an advertisement of B. B. B., and sent one dollar to W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had been used, I was pronounced sound and well. Ifundreds of scars can now be seen on me, Jooking like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this county, and for the benefit of those who may be similarly af: flicted, I think it my duty to cive the facts to the public. and to extend my _ heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy. I have been well for over twelve months, and no return of the discase hus occurred. ROBERT WARD.

In its present condition the law regulates only apart of the subordinate »ublic positions throughout the country. c ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICE. the estate of W. A.

C., delivered his popular and most interesting lecture to an intelligent and appreciative audience in the Luther- an chureh, on last Thursday evening. The house was not crowded, as had been hoped, on account of special services in the Presbyterian and Baptist churches, from the} track into forty foof water in the French Broad, near Warm Springs, The engine that was thrown ago, £0 and is now in church at It is hard to turn a human being away from one’s door on a cold, disagreeable morning, without giving him something to eat, notwithstanding the fact that he is a big, robust fellow.

CS $$ ie RSAC and the opening ball of the Pleasure Club, but by those attending there was only one regret, and that was that the whole town and community could not have had the pleasure and profit of this rare and most welcome treat. The Professor has rare gifts as a lecturer, and has the thanks of our citizens and the Lutheran church especially for the display of the same in their behalf. Prof. Peschau visited the Graded School in our city, by request of the Principal, and opened the school with religious services,afterward making quite a happy and effectual speech to the school. He then visited each department. making the acquaintance of the several teachers and hearing and asking questions of the de- partments and classes. He expressed himself much pleased with the excellent school building, the well organized school, the good order, and the marked respect shown to the Principal and teach- ers, The New Store. Mr. E. Loeper, the newly arrived mer- chant, has his large stock of goods nicely displayed. He occupies the double store rooms next to Baker & Neave’s tin shop. One of the rooms is devoted to fancy and family groceries, and embraces fancy and | tral and conve sand by the fact that on the tirst of January plain cakes, candies, and confectionery, fruits, toys, glass and china ware, besides the heavy groceries. In the second room is kept corn and rye whisky, brandies, gin, and domestic wines. These are sold in packages only ; drinking is not per- mitted in or around the store. Here may be found any number of pets in the shape of birds. There are cana- ries, parrots, and parokets. An educated parrot keeps anything but a silent watch in the liquor department. When the good store keeper kindly asked the re- porter and his companion to take a bottle home for trial, the parrot hushed and gave undivided attention to what was said. The reporter declined, saying he did not care for it, and his companion said he did not drink in Salisbury. At this the parrot burst into convulsions of laughter and fell from his perch seream- ing and laughing and rolling on the sandy floor of his cage. It was an amusing in- cident, and Mr. Loeper says the bird must have ‘‘caught on.” ne cays cee Rowan Granite. Parties in town have been requested to make sealed proposals to furnish specified coluinns, required in the erection of the. St. Louis Church, Buffalo, N.Y. The columns desired—some 24 in all—are to be eylindrical and average length 15 feet, and from two feet and a half down to eight inches in diameter. This lot of material finished would cost up in the thousands, No bid can be sgnt polished, from this place: first, beeause there is no way to get the stone from the quarries to the railroad at competing figures; and second, because there are no workmen or machinery here for doing this kind of work. The haul- ing of the stone to the railroad at once stops the caleulation, for the cost is so great that were everything clse equal, it would place the granite out of range ina competition of prices. In truth, these columns can be furnished from Aberdeen, Scotland, cheaper than from the quarries in Rowan county. There they are fully prepared to do the work, and can ship | across the Atlantic cheaper than we can freight cars from our quarries. If there were a branch road from Salisbury to Dunn’s mountain, or if the Yadkin road were built, it would be very different. Then many thousands of dollars would be spent in the now silent quarrics near Salisbury. ee ee A Blaze. A little after eight oclock on yesterday morning the fire bells sounded an alarm for the east ward, and in a few minutes engine No. 5 was at the corner of Council and Lee streets, throwing a stream of send by wagons and ‘building. A few moments later the old and reliable No. 4 had tapped a hydrant main, and was playing a solid stream into the same building. Two minutes later the Hook and Ladder Company of the of the east ward was hard at work carry- ing the women and children from the up- per story windows, and engaged in tear- ing away some small houses adjoining the burning building. In a short time, notwithstanding the high wind prevailing at the hour, the flames were brought un- der complete control, having consumed only the building named and three small houses next adjoining. Great credit is due the firemen, but the greatest praise belongs to the town for the very admira- ble system of fire defenses now in use here. The property was all owned by Mr. J. Sam’] McCubbins, Jr., and was insured to the amount of $1,260, which nearly covers the whole loss. M. L. Arey had a pool table in the front room of the Hospital building, while the rest was let to tenants. ° The shed room adjoining was occupied by a Mr. Nail, who kept a bar. It was in this shed that the fire originated. The other buildings were occupied by negro tenants. _ _ rc OED Oem Removal of the Railroad Offices. Our citizens were sorry to learn that the train dispatcher’s office, Mr. C, Y. Cheatham in charge, and the superinten- dents’ office, Mr. V. E. McBee in charge, have been ordered to be moved from this place to Asheville. Mr. Cheatham has already gone, and Mr, McBee will g£o about the first of the eoming year, It was also rumored that both Audi- tor and Treasurer were soon to follow, but Mr. McBee says these are to remain here, This change is made necessary for several reasons. New relations have been estab- lished between the Western road and the Spartanburg and Asheville, and also with | the Chester and Lenoir narrow guage | line. These new relations require that ! the company’s offices go toa more cen-| 11, M Lippard, - ; 10" W N Moore, water into the side of the old Hospital | nient location, hence the order. On all sides one hears re- grets, but under the circumstances the step is a neeessary one and however much our people may regret it, they recognize the wisdom of the movement and are convinced that the best interests of the road demands the change, The Lenoir Topic in continuance of this subject says: There was a little breeze in town last week caused by a report that a lot of offi- cials of the C.& L. and W.N. C. R. R. would be up. What they intended to do nobody knew and could notguess. A special came up Thursday night bringing Messrs. Talcott, Nichols and Bernard and went away in half.an hour. Various: rumars are afloat caused by a statement in the Ashe- ville Country Homes that it is probable that the W.N.C.R.R. would shortly gain con- trol of the upper end of the C. & L. R.

Crowell Mine. mine in Stanly county is to resume work soon. This property has seen many changes, and has been “worked at” enough to begin to show something. The report that work is to be resumed comes from Mr. White, one of the Baltimore stockholders. If the Brandreth shaft were sunk three or four hundred feet deeper, and proper tunnels run, it would prove the property, one way or the other. The Biles mine, not far distant, is being worked with fairly satisfactory results. ED > ae Corundum, Gold and Marble. Dr. C. D. Smith, of Franklin, N.

Franklin Items, Editors Watchman: Our farmers are pretty well through with their out door work, corn (of which un ample crop was raised) is all gathered and housed, cotton about all picked out, and most of it sold. A very large acre- age of wheat has been sown, and the season being favorable, there is an excel- lent stand, and it is looking finely. These things being now done, the farmers have little to do, except to get up their winter’s supply of firewood. Those who raised tobacco, however, have plenty to do in damp weather, in stripping and-assorting it into the different grades and otherwise getting it ready for market. By the way, thedifferent wareh: ues in Sali-pury would do well to keep an eye upon Franklin, as she has in her barns, a very large crop of the weed, much of it being very tine. . The health of our community is very good, with the exception of a few cases of a chronie nature. The young people are beginning to be on the qui uve tor dancing parties. They have already had one or two, and several others are being arranged for, during the holidays.

Ina recent letter to the editor of this column, he says: “Clay county lies west and south-west of Macon, and its chief geological horizon belongs tothe Azoi¢ (Laurentian) age and of course the minerals are such as are usual to Azoic rocks. The system of chrysolite dikes which passes from Vir- ginia into Georgia and thence into Alaba- ma gains its maximum in Clay county. The chrysolite is the chief corundum bearing rock and Clay promises to be the banner county in its production, There are numerous localities in this county where corundum occurs, and at one of these near the Macon line it is being mined. Capital and judicious manage- ment would, Ihave no doubt, develope other valuable corundum mines in that county. There is gold in Clay Co.—a gold bear- morals, that they will not grant license for it, no mattep whois the applicant. There is not a respectable person here, but who would sign a petition against it. Dee. 15th, °85, A FARMER. There may be good veins of this ore, but the owners of the property have run wild over the approach of R. R. They wish to sell a “a pig ina poke” at’ mining prices, and will scarcely give one who desires to test and purchase, so much as sixty days in which todo so. Indeed, some refuse every opportunity to satisfy one’s self of the value of property. This may be wise, but I doubt it. The iron ore along the marble range isabundant. It is limonite and perhaps some of it may contain an appreciable per cent. of manganese. Asso- ciated with limonite at Valley Town is a vein of magnetic hemitite. Then the marble belt runs entirely through the county and may be utilized in the reduc- tion of these iron ores, as well as for ornamental purposes and the production of agricultural lime.: There are some soapstone (agalmatolite, nee talc) locaki- ties in this county which will serve val- uable purposes in the iron industry, as well as furnishing material for the mar- ket. The marble and other ranges through the county-earry gold. The Val- ley River placers as worked in the early settlement of the county yielded profita- ble results. There is, however, no gold operation now being carried on in that Valley nor any intelligent explorations for gold veins. Mr. Mark King of Mur- phy has recently struck a gold vein of four feet in width at a depth of forty feet, in Peach Tree valley about five miles from Murphy. The ore was represented to me by competent judges as rich, and I -have no doubt that this is a valuable “find.” There have also been found gold bearing quartz in other parts of the county, and I feel assured that capital and enterprise will some day make valu- able developements in Cherokee. There has been a recent discovery twenty miles from Murphy at the N. C. & Tenn. State linc and onthe Tenn. side, of red and green copper much like the ores in the Territories, This property is owned by gentlemenat Murphy.

Mowery was married to Miss Fannie Rainey, at the residence of her mother, on the 16th inst, by Rey. Jos. Wheeler. ee A Mr. Vanderbilt's Wealth. Mr. Vanderbilt was regarded as one of the richest men in the world and the im- pression was not far wrong, THe was richer than any single member of the Rothschild family, and althoneh the Duke of West- minister is credited with being worth $209-, 000,000, his estate pays him only 2 per cent. Last year Mr.Vanderbilt held $54,000,000 of 4 per cent bonds, but later reduced it to $55,000,000 of 34 per cent goverment secu- rities, It is said that he owned at least $75-, 000,900 in government bonds. At one time he owned 240,000 shares of Michigan Cen- tral railroad stock, 300,000 shares of North- western and 200,000 shares of Lake Shore stock. In addition to these he had 80,000 shares of Rock Island, 20,000 of Delaware and Lackawanna and about 20,000 shares in other roads, making in all 860,000 shares of railroad stocks, besides $22,000,000 in railroad bonds, $3,200,000 in State and city bonds, $2,000,000 in various manu facturing stocks and mortgages, He valued his house in Fifth avenue,with its treasures,at $3,000,- 000. His ordinary houschold ex penses were $200,000 a year, It 1s estimated that Mr. Vanderbilt was worth $200,000,000, although his invest- ments depreciated last year. His income was calculated as follows: $2,372,000 a year from goverment bonds $7,394,000 from railroad stocks, and bonds $576,695 ‘rom miscellaneous securities ; making a total of over $10.000,000 a year or $28,000 a day $1,200 an houror $19.75 a minute. He made no ostentatious display of his wealth, and was reported as charitable, PS, RC a 5 though not openly so, He sold Maud 8., the Queen of thelTurf, to Mr. Bonner for $40,000 because he did not desire to continue her on the turf, and could not get rid of the importunitics of the horsemen, been found in large quantities upon the property of the Marion Bullion Company, in McDowell Co., N.C.

It cer- tainly surpasses, in richness of color and uty, any of the building stones now in our large Eastern cities.

I do not remem- ae seen this mineral mentioned inany of the geological reports of North Carolina, H. C. DEMuine, Sec. and Gen. Man’gr Marion Bullion Co. ‘There is also a stone in Watauga coun- ty locally called leopardite, but it is not claimed to be true leopardite ; it is or- thoclase, such as is found in Mecklenburg county. Molybdenite, the mineral spo- ken of above, occurs in both granite and quartz veins, in Cabarrus, Guilford, Alle- ghany, Macon, and many other localities in the tramontane section of the State. or The Stieff Piano. The firm of Chas. M. Stieff, manufac- turer of the Steiff Piano, is one of our rep- resentative manufacturers, having been in business over 40 ycars, exhibiting at all the largest expositions and world’s fairs, besides at numerous State and county fairs, in competition with their richest ri- vals. Not only in the South have their pianos been exhibited, but also in Bostop at the Massachusett’s Mechanic Fair, where in 1881 they came off successful, receiving the highest award given, a sil- ver medal. Made of the best material, carefully selected, and handled by the most thorough workinen, the Stieff Piano has commanded a place at the top of the rank of first-class instruments. As evi- dence of their superiority they were awarded the first medal at Paris in ’78 over all American and many foreign com- petitors. Again, they are preferred by all the largest and best institutions in the South where music is taught, such as Peace In- stitute, Raleigh; Miss Everett’s School, Statesville; St. Mary’s, Raleigh; Mrs. Baldwin’s, Staunton, etc., etc. The representative of the firm, Mr. D. G. Pfeifler, always stops here on his southern trips, and it is needless to say tleat he is successful in securing orders for his stiperior piano. It may bea mat- ter of interest to the musical people here to read the report of the judges of awards at the recent New Orlcans World's Fair, VIZ: “The undersigned Jurors, in the above entitled class, having carefully cxamined the exhibit made by Chas. M. Stieff, Bal- timore, Md., (Square and Upright Pianos and Pedal Attachments) and all compet- ing exhibits, concur in recommending the award of First Medal for Square Grand, for volume and sustaining power (copper wound bass strings), quality and evenness of same in treble (by Capo D’Astro bar), solidity of construction, elasticity of ac- tion throughout, makes this piano an in- strument of the first order. First Medal for Upright Pianos, the evenness and ro- tundity of tone, combined with elasticity of touch through the entire scale, solidity and workmanship added to the qualities above mentioned, make thesc instruments worthy of high commendation. Honora- ble mention for system and pedal attach- ment for its independent position in re- gard to the mechanism of the pianos, and its adaptation to any kind of pianos make it a very useful combination, Dated this 13th day of May, 1885.

Of all the subjects touched on by President Cleveland in his message, there was none, perhaps, in which the South was more directly interested than in his views regarding civil service re- form. He, of course, expressed him- self strongly in favor of doing away with the spoils system, as he has given every indication that he intends to make reform of the civil service the cornerstone of his administration. It was not surprising, therefore, that he should have declared unreservedly in favor of making fitness the first requi- site for governmental are and that he should have indulged the hope that “we shall never again be remmit- ted to a system which distributes pub- lic positions purely as a reward for par- tisan services.” * * Here we have all over our immediate section, a num- ber of officials whose records as offen- sive partisans are sone c ree and who were placed in office Radical Administration more as a re- ward for isan services than any- thing else. Their fitness was never inquired into, and they were only giv- en place and position because they | made themselves especially obnoxious to our people. One great objection that the South Nad for persistently and ob- stinately remaining solid for the Demo- cratic party, was because she believed that when that party came into power these chronic Radical office seekers and office holders would be removed, and their places filled by men in sympathy with our people. Yet a Democratic administration has been in power for nine months, and they are still with us just as if a Radical President were yet in the White House in Washington. The South is getting impatient over this condition of affairs. She would like to see Mr. Cleveland speedily apply practically the principles of civil ser- yice reform that he so emphatically enunciates, by removing from office those relics of Radicalism amongst us, who hold their places only as a reward for zealous partizan work performed against the Democratic party. Will he not accede to her just demands?— Savannah Times, Dem. Some Turtle. Some years ago a party of English naturalists, with several native attend- ants, penetrated a previously unexplor- ed portion of India, for the purpose of establishing stations, and eventually open up a country very rich in natural advantages. Upon reaching a suitable spot, the workmen commenced their task of erecting a suitable building. It was necessary to have a large cellar, and a deep excavation was made. The earth was dry and sandy, and was worked with ease. The absence of large stones was noticed ; indeed there was found no hard substance that would have interested a geologist. But late in the afternoon of the first day’s work, one of the natives struck his pick against a resisting substance. An- other blow, and the implement broke through into a hollow space. The earth being scraped away, a large smooth object was exposed, of so strange an appearance that the attention of the commanding officer was called to it. He at once pronounced it a bene. The fact that they had come upon the grave of a strange animal created great excitement, and all hands went to work clearing away the sand. As they progressed, their wonder and ex- citement increased also; their discoy- ery began to assume the shape of a dome, and appeared to be rounded off. Finally, when four feet or more of sand had been cleared away, they saw a hut- shaped object, that seemed, through the hole made by the pick, to be partly hollow. The natives one and all there- upon declared it a hut, or house, built by some of aheir ancestors, that had in course of time been covered by the earth. Others thought it one of the dwelling places of astrange people who lived under the earth; but to the Eng- lish naturalists there was a more sim- ple explanation, for the curious house was the shell of a gigantic turtle be- longing to an age song passed. The work progressed rapidly; and though when exposed to the sun some parts broke in pieces, the entire shell was successfully uncovered and a complete restoration of it was made. The shell was that of a land tortoise. Hundreds of thousands of years ago it had lived and died—and the dust, sand and vegetation had gradually covered it up and preserved it as a monument of the animal wonders of that ancient time. So enormous was the shell that when the sand and dirt were removed, several of the men crawled into it; in fact, it might have been used as a house, and on a subsequent occasion was so used by a party which took refuge in it during a sudden shower.— St. Nicholas. a ee A British Importation. What is_ this much talked of Civil Service? Whence came it? Is it de- sirable? Do the Southern Democrats favor it? These are questions of some “pith and moment.” As to the first question “What is it and whence came it,” we have this to say. It isan importation—an exotic. It is not indigenous to the American soil. It is of British origin. The seeds of this Upas were brought from be- yond the seas, It is well enough adap- ted to a country of ancient aristocracy and immemorial privileges. It suits a Monarchy in which men are trained for a given place and are kept in for life. It isthe very system for the younger scions of nobility and an edu- cated gentry to find homes for life with a good fat salary attached. It works wellasa part of the British system, for it gives men a life tenure under such fluctuations and mutatious of parties as would otherwise endanger Government and stop the wheels of enterprise. Why this? Attend. In England the Ministry are in fact the Government, just as in this coun- y the preceding | Pé try the Congress governs. The Queen ina sort of praasatl figure head because personal government was bu- ried with the Georges forever. But how are the Ministry chosen? The Queen sends for some prominent member of Parliament and asks him to form a Government. He selects his own Min- istry or Cabinet, which numbers twelye or fourteen members. They soon pro- pose certain measures and unless they are approved by a majority vote of the Parliament they go out of office. That is to say, the life of a Ministry depends upon its ability to control a majority of the House of Commons. Ministries are often short lived. Some have been of afew days or a few weeks. Others have lasted only for a few months. If the tens of thousands of officials were to be changed with every Ministry or Government there would be chaos. It It would be impossible to run the Gov- ernment because men would be incom- tent, as they could not get fairl seated before they would be unhorsed. So it is absolutely necessary and inevi- table that the tenure of the underlings should be permanent or nearly so. But this is not the case in the Uni- ted States. Here a President is elected for a specified term, with a chance of re-election, and he has ample opportu- nity of selecting his own party suppor- ters to co-operate with him in carrying on the Government. But aside from this, the very genius of our institutions is unfriendly to office-holding in perpetuity. The fath- ers—the men of wisdom—who set up this great Republic and formed our complex, admirable and unique system of Government, believed in frequent elections—that is to say in frequent appeals to the people to know their will, and to ascertain if a change of officials was desirable. The British, and, there- fore, un-American, un-republican, un- democratic system of life tenure destroys this principle of appeal and of change. The attempt to fasten such a system upon the people of the United States is only another evidence of the tenden- cy of the age toa strong Government —to a return to the cast-off privileges and policy of a Monarchy. Mr. Curtis, a Republican editor, is the father of this system in this country. He isa gifted, scholarly, able New Englander, with a strong British leaning, and, hike so many of the Boston people, is very English at heart. This 1s the British system of life tenure in office that he would import and engraft upon the American system. It has been partially successful. The rules of the system now apply to some 15,000 office holders out of some 111,000. As long as the rules exist—as_ long as the law prevails, it is the duty of the President to enforce it fairly and thoroughly. This he is doing. But the question is, can such a monarchical system be well adapted to the American people? The above answers the question, we think. It is not desirable as we look at it. Do the Southern Democrats favor it? Are they in favor of “turning the rascals out,” or of retaining the army of Re- publican officials? We will consider this hereafter— Wil. Star. ~—-- —— — Lemons in Medicine and Cookery. We know of a physician who used lemon juice in a case of small-pox, the only liguid given, and no other reme- dies. tn thirty-six hours the disease was under complete control, and in one week was entirely cured. Hot lemonade, with flaxseed sim- mered in it for half an hour, then strained and sweetened, is excellent for a cold, but, as it produces perspiration, it should be taken only upon retiring. The white of an egg beaten to a stitt froth and whipped up with the juice of alemon, relieves hoarseness and sore- ness of the chest at once, taken by the teaspoonful half hourly. : The juice of two lemons taken in half a glass of water before each meal is a powerful remedy for rheumatism, and it is also considered almost a spe- cific for intermittent fever. The juice of one lemon taken three times a day in acup of clear, strong coffee, will often cure chills and fever, when the disease is stubborn and unyielding to all other remedies. The pulp of a lemon bound on for three successive nights, is said to cure corns, and a few pearl shirt buttons dissolved in the juice of one Jemon forms a thick, creamy ointment that will almost surely cure them. So we find the medicinal properties of the lemon are many and varied; their value in culinary art is also great. The rind, thinly pared off, is an agreeable flavoring for custards, creams and blane mange. It should be cooked in the milk and removed before the other ingredients are added. The yellow rind only is fit for use—the white part is always bitter. SE Webster and Jenny Lind. “Webster was a very convivial man, fond of pleasure and social amenities. On one occason he was at a supper, at Brown’s hotel, and, the wine being ood, he imbibed a great deal of it. Jenty Lind was singing at the Canter- bury theatre, and at a late hour Web- ster and his party of friends adjourned from the hotel to the theatre. When they arrived the curtain had just gone up for the last act, and the cantatnce appeared on the stage tosing ‘Hail Columbia.’ Wedster joined in with his magnificent bass and accompanied her through the song. The audience yell- ed, stamped and shouted. They again, and again sang it through with the same enthusiasm pervading the au- dience. The procedure was repeated a third, a fourth, a fifth anda sixth time, before they were permitted to re- tire. At the close Webster made a magnificent bow to the diva, such as would have made him a_ prince had he made it at a drawing room of Louis le Grand; the singer returned it, and | Webster repeated it, and these cour- tesies continued until both had bo ed in the most elaborate manner se\e 1 times. During the whole performance Webster held his fine silk hat in his hand and Mrs. Webster was tugging at at his coat, signaling him to desist.— Louisville Times. ~<—>- Burned to Death. Washington Gazette: We are in- formed of a very sad death which re- sulted from burning on last Friday. It appears that the daughter of Mr. 5. B. Sawyer, aged 14 years, was in the dining room preparing dinner for her father, whom she was expecting home at the usual time. Before she was aware of danger her clothing took fire and in a moment she was enveloped in flames. Her little brother ran to a neighbor's house for assistance, and the burning daughter ran to meet her father, who was a quarter of a mile from home. When the screaming child reached her father all of her clothes were burned off and her flesh was burned in a most horrid manner. She was taken home, and after suffer- ing the most excruciating pain, died on Sunday morning last. Every now and then accidents of this sort happen. Of course running is the worst thing one can do; it is almost invariably fatal. Don’t run. Get on the bed and roll up in the cover. At all events, lie down somewhere. In this position you are not so apt to suf- focate and the clothing cannot burn so freely. ~_>-______- The Shamrock. It is related that when St. Patrick landed in Ireland in the fifth century, having overcome the hostility of the savage islanders, he proceeded to in- struct them in the doctrines of Chiris- tianity. But in vain did he endeavor to explain to them the doctrine of the trinity in unity. His untutored hear- ers failed to comprehend his reasoning till, plucking a trefoil to serve as an il- lustration, he inquired of them, “Is it not as possible for the Father, Son and Holy Ghost as for these three leaves to grow upon a single stalk?” This argu- ment, according to the legend, imme- diately convinced the Irish, who yielded to St. Patrick's efforts for their conver- sion. The shamrock was thenceforth dedicated to the saint and became the national cognizance. It is somewhat unfortunate that this pretty story is not to be found in any of the lives of the great saints of Ireland, but it is still more unfortunate that it is again im- possible to determine which is the true shamrock. According to the best au- thorities, however, the honor is due to the Black Nonsuch or Medicago, or to the Dutch clover.Both these plants are worn on St. Patrick's day, and are held to be the shamrock.—Chamber’s Jour- nal, . ~<- Industrial Collezes. In a letter written by Bishop. Hugh Miller Thompson, of Mississippi. speak- ing of the Agricultural College at Starkville, he tells us what he saw some of the students doing at that institu- tion: “T have just seen what I consider the most hopeful sight so far vinible to my eyes in Mississippi—fifty or sixty young men--ihite men, nund you— with hands and hoes down in the soil digging potatoes and planting straw- berries at eight cents an hour. They were not tramps, nor boors, but schol- ars and gentlemen—sons of our best people—and were learning many things of yast promise to themselves and Mis- sissippi, in this close and practical ac- quaintance with its soil! “The institution is filled this year to its utmost capacity. There are, I be- lieve, 375 students. I was struck with the admirable discipline, the indepen- dent and self-respecting bearing of the young men, the military alertness, the courtesy of manner tu the professors and to each other. “T saw the young men upon parade, supper, inthe chapel, in their plain, anti-luxurious quarters, and dairy—saw a half hundred, with axes on their shoulders, returning from the hands.” ~ -<>-+ — - The Waste From The House. In order to utilize in the garden the waste from the house at the least ex- pense, first purchase a barrel of un- slacked lime, then take an empty barrel and begin by putting in it a layer of soil or ashes, and then the waste from the house, everything that dog or cat will not eat. Keep this decaying veg- etable matter covered with an inch of soil or ashes, using coal or wood ashes. Once a week in winter, and oftener in summer, cover with lime, say half an inch. The lime will be slacking, of course, and should be kept dry, but as lime retains its virtue a long time, the one barrel will last a year or more, ac- cording to the waste kept. If starting this experiment in the autumn, early in the spring empty the contents of the barrel into the garden beds, cover with coal ashes, if the soil is not already deep enough, and spade itin. Should the soil be deep and good, the compost can be used without the ashes; then when the weather is right, put it on the plants. ————__-<>-___—_ Stirrups of solid silver, silver pom- mel and ornaments worth thousands of dollars may be seen often on the sad- dle of the sancho, the most pictures- que character in the Americas.

Such a question a Scotch scientist recently asked himself, and he set to work to gather some statistics of stature. His data consisted of the heights of 930 adults and of their respective parents, 205 of each sex in number, or alto- gether of 1,449 observations. It was shown that the difference between the heights of the two parents might be disregarded, having on the whole an inconsiderable effect on the height of the offspring. It was also shown that marriage selection takes little or no ac- count of shortness or tallness. The gen- eral result was that where the mean height of the two parents was greater than mediocrity, their children tend to be shorter than they. ge To Paris for Treatment.

Dear Watchman: By request of friends, I furnish you the following bit of news. At a eall session of the E. L. Synod of North Carolina, held in Mt. Pleas- ant, N. C., for the purpose of consider- ing the interests of North Carolina College, it was decided to try to raise an endowment fund of $30,000 during the next five years. $15,000, to be raised within the bounds of Synod. Rey. W. Kimball, the great church builder of Synod, was unacmee chosen as the agent to raise said fund. $15,000 to be raised in the church at large. Rev. F. W. KE. Peschau of Wilmington, N. ©. was chosen as agent to raise this amount. A good choice. These agents are to have a salary, and their work is to begin with 1886. They are under the supervision of a committee of five, viz: Revs. J. A. Linn, ©. A. Rose. B. 8. Brown, Hon. H. H. Me- Alister, and Jesse W. Miller, Esq. If any men can raise an endowment for North Carolina College, those cho- sen will certainly do it. If $15,000 is not subscribed in five years, then all subscriptions will be null and void. . This is-a grand and noble effort on the part of the North Carolina Synod, which numbers about 5,000: communi- cant members. It will require landa- ble sacrifices and liberal giving to the move a success. W. A. L. _—_-- Handling the Lariat. AN ART IN WHICH THE MONTANA COW- PUNCHERS TAKE GREAT PRIDE. I noticed a variety of lariats with a round-up party, nearly all of which were made of the very best quality of ‘hemp, twisted so very tight that it was almost impossible to untwist the strands. | Others were made of sinew cords, and were braded very neatly, the ends or lassoing parts being greased so as to slip easily. Their lassos are about sixty or sixty-tive feet long, one-third of the noose, and when swinging it, it is grasped a little above the loop, so as to prevent it from slip- | ping until launched through the aur. ‘The lasso is swung over the head and left shoulder, and back over the nght shoulder, a peculiar turn of the wrist as it begins to return keeping the loop wide open. When flying through the air the noose takes a slightly oval form, but remains open, and settles quietly around the object aimed at. MeGaigan exhibited to me the modus operandi of handling the rope, and some of his feats performed in my presence were not only executed with marvelous pre- cision, but were also beautiful to look at. The model cowboy is certainly an expert in his profession, perhaps the best rider and lassvist in the whole northwest. What Slosson is to billiards McGaigan is to his profession. One afternoon, while loafing around the camp fire on the Musselshell, Me(iaigan and J got to talking about the skill he had acquired in throwing cattle, and I had little ditticulty per- suading him to let me into the secrets of his wonderful dexterity and actually showing me some of the tine points of the business. Mounting our bronchos, we rode off through the sage brush and out upon the open prairie, where num- berless cattle were peacefully munch- ing the luxuriant buffalo grass. My friend had his best lariat fastened to the pommel of the saddle, and first showed me many fancy shots, throwing the lasso from or to any point, over either shoulder, behind*or in front. He caught a tremendous bull by the horns, which looked up in surprise and started off like a steam engine, but the pony bestrode by the cowboy, planted ie fore feet tirmly in the ground and checked Mr. Bull in his mad career be- fore the latter got well started. The enraged steer went round and round in a circle at a 2:40 gait, the pony acting as a perfect pivot and turning slowly around with him; but it was no use; the bull was a prisoner, and would have remained so had not MeGaigan taken pity on him and passed the wonderful ring down the line, upon which the rope leaped from around the horns and fell to the ground. Mciaigan remarked that it was no credit to catch a bull by the horns, for he cannot be thrown by them, and is simply held a prisoner, but the skill of throwing a lasso is to pitch the noose just in front of an animal when he is going at full gallop, so that at the next step he treads into it. He tried it on another bull while both of our ponies were jumping along on a dead run. The old fellow was going about as fast as we were, but the fatal loop shot through the air at a tangent, and fell, wide open, just in front of him on the ee The left forefoot plunged square into the cirele, the rope was tightened with a sudden jerk, and the steer rolled over in the dust, as cleverly caught as anything [ ever saw. The broncho, too, understood his part of the business thoroughly, for he bore at the right moment in the opposite direction, else he might have been thrown instead of the bull, to which he was much in- ferior in weight. McGaigan also caught great big steers galloping past at an angle by any leg named. Not once was his judgment at fault. The noose, whizzing through the air in every direction, went as true Indian Vermifuge will expel them and restore healiy) aud a bright eomplesion, to the mark as a bullet shot from a rifle. I was much taken with the free and he Caroli a round-up party, and enjoyed the trip and camping out experience so hugely that I was almost tempted to give up the profession of a scribe and become a cowboy myself, but thought better of it next day, and, although I had lots of fun and enjoyment, [ concluded that cowboy life must have its dark as well as its bright, sunny side.—-Montana Letter. Closing Up. December finds the planter with comparatively little to do on the farm, except to close up the little odd jobs that come of the season, such as getting in a supply of winter fuel; hauling in litter to be used as needed, completing shelters for stock and such like things. The corn and cotton are all secured, or should be at once; the tobacco is all in barn and nicely cured, and only awaits damp weather for stripping: potatoes and apples have been cellared or are ready to resort preparatory to cellaring, and the hogs to be fatted are already in pen, and receiving liberal rations of corn and collards, preparatory to the slaughter. All is snuf and secure all over the farm, with little work and plenty of good things to uae and high anticipations of the near holidays. The stock farmer, however, and poulterer has more to do. There is the daily feeding and oversight of the stock. Rations must be liberal and regular to the trough and rack. Milch cows need special attention. Hay alone, at this season, will not yield much milk. They must have bran or meal. Even one quart a day to each cow will be found to make a quart difference in the yield of milk, but three or four quarts would not be lost on them. The sheep should be fed daily in a sheltered sunny place, and protected from the rains and snows when they come. But give them free range in dry fields in open weather. The poulterer must be on the alert for eggs all this month and next. He must feed well, and, keep the hens warm and contented, and they will lay. In general, give them the run of the farm now. ‘They will pick insects, grass, pebbles, seeds, and all these go far to eee them in health and laying. Feed corn at night and bone meal at noon; green leaves, fruit, &e., often. Do not erowd the stock, and keep the species as much apart as possible. At any rate, restrain quarreling and con- tention, and have nests enough for the laying stock. Do not omit the bone if you want eggs. Break and beat fine the bones from the kitchen, and if possible have the pure fresh ground for them.——Petersbury Messenger. <= A Host of Tyrants. A unique document was submitted to the Senate Wednesday. It was a me- morial from a Brooklyn man, urging that the government shall establish a newspaper at every first-class postottice in the United States, to be published at public expense and for public use; such papers to be for the publication, free, of all advertisements of the people, and of the utterances and opinions of people who may choose to ayail themselves of the columns of the government news- papers. The memorialist sets forth that the only tyranny existing in this country is the tyranny of the press; that the press is a powerful dynasty. and unless this despotism is checked and overthrown it will subvert the gov- ernment. The only power, says the memorialist, competent to grapple with the tyrannical press is the government, and he urges that government papers le established. The memorial covers thirty-six pages of legal cap paper, and the opinions and grievances of the me- morialists are set forth in the minutest detail. The scheme is a brilliant one, and of course will be adopted by the government with alacrity. The idea of the tyranny of the press is excellent. What American newspaper man would have known he was a tyrant but for this Brooklyn discoverer ?— News-Ob- server. —_ +o —_—_—_——_ Names of Multitude. A little girl was near the picture of a number of ships, when she exclaimed: “See what a flock of ships!’ We cor- rected her by saying that a flock of ships was called a fleet, and a fleet of sheep was called a flock. And here we may add, for the benetit of the foreign- er who is mastering the intricacies of our language in respect of names of multitude, that a flock of girls is called a bery, and a bevy of wolves is called a pack, and a pack of thieves is called a gang, anda gang of angels is called a host. and a host of porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes is called atroop, anda troop of partridges is ealled a covey, and a covey of beauties is called a galary, and a galaxy of ruf- tians is called a horde, and a horde of rubbish is called a heap, and a heap of oxen is called a drove, anda drove of blackguards is called a mob, and a mob of whales is called a school, and aschool of worshippers is called a congregation, and a congregation of engineers 1s call- eda corps, anda corps of robbers is called a band, and a band of locusts is called a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd, and a crowd of gen- tlefolks is called elite, and the elite of the city's thieves and rascals are called rowyhs, and a miscellaneous crowd of city folks is called the comity or publte, accordingly as_ they are spoken wo = easy sort of life experienced by this SALISBURY, N. C., DECEMBER 24, 1885. Seen AEs of by the religious community or the secular public. Some of the Heroes. JOAQUIN MILLER ON BUTLER, SHERMAN, &C. j Literary Life A lady from Boston, who is connec- ted with a mission in ene of the low districts of New Orleans, told me this anecdote. ; With three rows of little half nude black people before her at the mission, and in hand, she began: “Who was the first man?” Twenty or thirty little black hands shot up in the air, and , twenty or thir- ty little voices piped owt “Adam.” “Who was the strongest man?” “Sampson.” “Who was the wisest man?” “Solomon.” “Who was the wickedest man?” “Ben Butler!” This feeling has become and will re- main atradition; a name that the old black “Mamas” will use to frighten their little ones with. And thus it may be that this man will be remembered when the rest of us are forgotten. ' Two little acts, out of my many such, | set down here. The elegant home of the present clerk of the Su- preme Court has been forcibly entered and searched from garret to garden three times. The fourth. time the sol- diers came the indignant Creole took his little son with him and went to General Butler, and handing him a re- ceipt said: “Sir, it is useless to send your soldiers or any one else to search my house for treasure. This you will see, is a receipt for my silver and treas- ures. [tis signed by the Commander of the Spanish = man-of-war which left this city the day you entered it.” General Buttler assured the Creole, in the presence of his son, above re- ferred to, that his house would not again be disturbed. One more, the oldest Umited States Senator now living, and a celebrated historian, took his treasures, and, by the help of a black servant, buried them in his garden. They were soon on their way North along with a ship load of pianos, silverware and libraries. In fact the most famous and best loved preacher of the South, a man whose word like that of the venerable Senator or the clerk of the Supreme Court re- ferred to, is beyond all possible ques- tion, told me that nearly twenty years after the pillage of New Orleans by Butler, he found many of his books on the second hand stalls in| Boston, and some of them were voluntarily return- ed to him. * * * Stick a pin here. and think of this man, Sherman, Sheridan, beggars at the beginning of the war; princes after. If they are true soldiers Where did their colossal fortunes come from? But they are not soldiers, as Cesar, Alexander and so on, who led to battle sword in hand. The modern “hero” has no taste for the front. There is not a single sear among all the “heroes” | have named. Butler is no doubt brave enough in speech, the — bravest as well as well as best of the famous lot, no doubt. Yet none of them every really smelled powder, and each has made his fame by invading and burning Christian homes and made his fortune by plun- dering them. You reproach me for opening up these old wounds ! [ want to get the iron out; IT want to let the light in. And then, not till then will these wounds heal. Let the truth be told of such men, and let them keep their places. The South is, has been and shall be, because God made it. God made the South, and man cannot unmake it. The mau who says he knows no South, no North, no Kast, no West, is simply a demagogue or fool. * * * The people have gone after false gods before. The worship of gold is new religion. But it is none the less false. The hand that struck down the golden calf in the desert lifted up the greatest race that has been, and never was a Moses so needed among men as now. As for this other form of idolatry it is none the less perilous because less loyal. The people may, and do, almost any day abandon their idolized “hero,” but often only to worship another and less worthy. —_-— State Horticultural Society. The Raleigh correspondent of the Charleston News & Courier writes that paper under recent date: The State Horticultural Society met here several evenings ago and heard some remarks on fruit growing in N. C. This has been successful the past season and attention has been given the general subject of fruit culture in its varioys branches by persons who evidently mean to devote money and time to what is certain to speedily be- come a great source of wealth. Strange to say, North Carolina produces, in the extreme eastern and western part of her domain the choices apples grown anywhere. In the counties west of the Blue Ridge and in Hyde county, near the sea, this fruit is found in re- markable profusion and_ perfection. The reports as to apples, peaches and pears were all of a gratifying charac- ter. Grape culture has increased 25 per cent. in four years. Never before , Was SO much clear profit realized on grapes as in 1884 and 1885.” This society has been of much bene- fit to our State, and can beof much greater benefit, specially in the way of educating the fruit growers in proper methods of handling and shipping fruit. The growers of Western Carolina spe- cially need to be stirred up on this mat- ter. West of the Blue Ridge the finest apples in the world are raised and the quantity of production is increasing very rapidly every year. It ought to be a source of large wealth to our sec- tion; but, our ple must learn to take more pains in gathering, handling, penne and shipping, before they can ope to compete successfully and upon and equality with even inferior fruits, well packed and shipped from more re- mote points. Present freight rates, which are full high, but will decrease with increase of traffic, our ple can reach Southern markets of the sea- board upon an een with Northern shippers; but the condition of their fruit when it reaches the market, mix- ed and bruised, and in many cases dir- ty, at once places our shippers ata disadvantage. The same will apply to vegetables. Let the Horticultural so- ciety give special industry to this branch of fruit business, and give the people full instructions and advice upon the matter, and they will render their fellow citizens and the fruit industry a lasting and profitable benefit.-—Ashe- ville Citizen. —_ —— ~—be ——- -——- A Picture of Gen. Toombs. It is pleasant to turn from the con- sideration of the late Mr. Toombs’ tem- wstuous public career to the picture of ie private life. This, says the Augus- ta Chronicle, was like that of Chatham. Intemperate and inconsistent he may have been at times in his career, but faithful and affectionate and pure and gentle to his lovely wife he always was. “Not all the allurements of power, or responsibilities of office or the stress of political misfortune or post-bellum ex- ile could separate him from her. He was courtly and noble in his family circle; his words were soft in his wife's queenly presence, and when the light of her loving eyes were shut out from him, his feet were guided to the altar where she had knelt, and he prepared himself to meet her in a_ higher life. Gen. Toombs made no high-flown or hypocritical pretensions about. religion. He did not profess immediate change of heart, nor could he promise entire reform in his being—-but he entered upon his religious career with the sim- ple faith of a child and the eternal hope of a Christian.” — News-Observer. _-<—>-——— ——_—_ Dangerous and Useless Practice. The doctors are now inveighing sharply against the black crape veil so generally worn by ladies in mourning. They pronounce it unhealthy, expen- sive and unbecoming. Dr. Hunter Me- Guire says: The black crape veil is un- doubtedly hurtful, and the custom should be abandoned; apart from its poisonous dye and offensive smell, me- chanically it interferes with healthful resperation. Dr. Brock says: I have long considered black crape veils detri- mental to health and mentally depress- ing in their effect; and Dr. aCaw says: the custom of wearing a crape veil as an article of mourning apparel would be honored in the breach rather than inthe observance. These heavy dou- ble black veils prevent the free access of air and light—two essential elements in health. They are unbecoming, ex- pensive, and from the dye are always more or less disagreeable of odor. It has long been known that black crape over the face is exceedingly injurious to health, but the custom of wearing it has so long been in vogue that it will probably be found impossible to break it up. Still the Richmond phy- sycians say that some ladies are Glaus their advice, and are either doing away with heavy crape or consenting to wear their veils up. This is at least a beginning of the reform so much to be desired. ——__~~<b>> - Goed Music in France. The French will not dance to bad music. Ifthey eat potatoes and salt all the week, and drink water without wine from Kaster Monday of one year to Good Friday of the next, they will have good music. Those who have traveled in the French provinces must have often been astonished with the excellence of mere village bands, and at the perfect acquaintance with the best and newest pieces of the musi- cians at village fetes. Nothing of a popular character in music escapes them; and the villagers hum a new air in the provinces a very few days after it is known in Paris. An ingenious burglar’s ladder was re- cently taken froma negro thief in Washington. It was constructed of light but strong rope, and at one end had two sharp hooks fitted to fasten on a window sill. These was attached to an iron rod capable of being extended thirty or forty feet. The whole could be wrapped in a bundle about the size of an ordinary umbrella. As the ap- paratus had a hooked handle, and was inclosed in a case, the owner could car- ry it along the streets without attract- ing attention, while in two minutes it could be turned into a rope ladder and securely fastened to an unbolted win- idow, giving 4 burglar easy means of entranoe to a house.—Boston Journal, e —_—— His Desperate Struggle and how It Ended. Just twenty-seven miles from the classic city of Athens, Ga., is loeated the thriving liftle town of Maxey’s, the residence of Mr. Robert Ward, who has just been released from a most perilous predicament, the par- ticulars of which he has consented to give to the public. He writes as follows: Maxkry's, OGLETHORPE Co., Ga. July th, 1885. For twelve or fourteen years I have been @ great sufferer from a terrible form of blood poison which ran into the secondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, face and shoulders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating away my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely refused to let people see me. I used large quantities of most noted Llood remedies and apptied to nearly all physicians near me, but my con- dition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones be- came the seat of excruciating aches and pains; my nights were passed in misery ; I was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly deranged, and life became a burden to me. Ichanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B., and sent one dollar ta W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had been used, I was pronounced sound and well. Hundreds of scurs can now be seen on me, looking like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this county, and for the benefit of those who may be similarly af- flicted, I think it my duty to vive the facts to the public, and to extend my heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy. I have been well for over twelve months, and no return of the discase has occurred. ROBERT WARD.

We suppoat there 1s not a tax-paying ‘community on the globe which pays its assessments for public purposes without more or less complaining. As a general rule, people word pay their dues without grumbling, but there are always a few tight-fisted individuals who grunt, and squirm, “and make fuss enough to attract the ‘attention of others, and soon the Nanger part, ignorant of the real facts 10 ‘che case, begin also to squirm, and grunt, and complain, and thus the community 1s afflicted with the spirit of discontent and the fear of oppression. Such is the case in pérgions of Rowan at present, and it is wholly -withgut cause. The taxes this year are higher than last year, it is true : dut there are two first-rate reasons for it. There was 00 State tax levied last year, ts Gtate expenses were paid out of the gaoney received from the sale of the Western North Carolina Railroad. About six bundred thousand dollars was in that way left in the pockets of tax-payers. Such a thing never happened before and may never happen again. That accounts for the low taxes of last year. We have ro more railroads to sell, and so it comes to pass that the people of the State are required to pay just as they did in 1882, 1883, and years before. -Plic taxes are only ten cents higher this year than in 1853, and that happens in the providence of God, by the destruction of a Jarge number of bridges by the high waters in June last. These had to be re- built, and it necessarily created an ex- traerdinary demand on the county. In dition to this, building is to be erect- ed at the Poor Hbuse, and there are also a few other items of unusual outlay. In view of these things, the Magistrates of the county raised the taxes the enormous gum of ten cents more than usual on the poll—not a cent more on property—that, and nomore. We have looked into this matter and know whereof we speak. The complaints alluded to are made by those who are only guessing at the facts—per- sons who really have not taken the pains to examtine into the subject. We have heard of only one tax-payer who took the trouble to search the rec- cords. He went at it with his fingers fairly twitching with pain for having paid an enormous tax! Surely something winet be wrong, he thought. The Sheriff aid Register would not dispute the mat- ter, but they brought out the old tax beoks and the old tax returns, and traced out the facts from year to year, when lo! it was found that the taxes had not been raiged on this man, but that the variations were wholly due to the variations in the amount of property returned in the seve- ral years—33 cents only at that. We are prepared to give figures in sub- stantiation of the above statements should it be required, but shall not do so at present. ®4¥e will add -but one other fact, and that is a rather remarkable one: North Carolina collects a smaller tax than any other Southern State but oue, and there SS a Turned into a Golden Ophir. _ The Stanly Observer in commenting on the recent meeting of the Upper Division of the Yadkin Valley Railroad Company, has this to say: . “We wonder where the Lower Division will meet again, and when? It doesseem that our citizens are content with very few enterprising schemes. Every think- ing man among Us admits that Stanly can never be fully developed without a rail- road and industrial factories, and yet not a company can be formed, nor a step taken to bring about the desired result. It argues one of two things, that we have little money or still less enterprise. __ With a little energy 12 the right direc- tion, accompanied by @, little capital, Stanly could be turned into a kind of Eden or golden Ophir in @ few years. But alas, alas, we like too well to follow in the old beaten track of our ancestors, and plod along while the enterprising car of our sister counties goes whistling by. Two railroad schemes are presented to us, and it appears that we will not accept either horn out of the dilemma.’ So far as the Salisbury horn of your di- lemma is concerned, you have some reason to be hopeful. There are several live and public-spirited men here who are on the lookout for the opportune time to spring this scheme. They have the matter at heart, and so 80on as the condi- tions requisite are apparent, they will work with might and main to secure the desired railroad. There are many reasons why the line should be built, and the co-operation of Salisbury may be depend- ed upon. -.—_- a> —_—_— Right Temperature. At Houghton Farm, a dairy establish- ment, great pains are taken to keep the milk and the cream for churning at sixty- two degrees, in winter, as at that temper- ature experience has shown a larger yield of butter than at a higher temperature. This is mentioned as a well settled fact, not to be varied from without loss. A few degrees higher or lower, most butter makers are apt to think, will make no difference ; but those who are incredu- lous can easily test the question for them- selves. Fifty-five degrees are set for summer churning. Try it. The best re- sults are only attainable by best atten- tion to the feeding and comfort of the cows. None but good milkers should be kept, except for beef. — A committee appointed at the last ses- sion of Congress to inquire into the steel producing capacity of the manufactories of our country, with reference to army and navy purposes, have their report about ready to submit to Congress; and it appears a most thorough and exhaust- ive investigation of the subject has brouhgt out the gratifying fact that the United States have not only no oceasion to go abroad for steel, but that we can beat all the foreign producers in both quality and quantity. ee One Jennie C. Harris at Wheeling, West Va., brought suit against W. E. Pickett for the support of her child. It was the occasion of bitter denunciations of Pickett, who denied the responsibility. The woman was required to produce the baby in Court ; and not having one of her own as she claimed, she borrowed a baby from a German woman and brought it into Court. The fraud was discovered are only three or four States in the Union where the people are so lightly taxed. There is at least a crumb of comfort in this, and it is offered for the relief of those whose minds are burdened with the dead of /a few cents more tax than they usually pay. _ Se - Freight Trains Collide. 5 aNews reached here on last Tuesday Morning of the collision of two freight trains onthe Western road. The acci- dent was onc of the most frightful which has ever occurred on that road, and "resulted inthe death of three persons. The Charlotte Observer says : “An official of the Western North Car- oltfia Railroad Company gives us the sagooss pasticulars of the collision : e Two freight trains, Nos. 5 and 6 collid- wr miles east of Old Fort at 2:45 ke a.m. The cause of the accident ass miscalculation of time on the part efor Drake and engineer Perkins 3 train No. 6. Marion was the regular theeting point of these two trains, and <4epnductor Trott and engineer Jack Ed- wands sunning No. 5 arrived at Marion on time, and after waiting their delayed _ €{me for No. 6 proceeded on their rights, % ‘gra when in 4 milesof Old Fort met No. 6. Conductor Drake’s watch had stopped * and was wrong, but engineer Perkins had _ gompared his watch a few minutes be- fore leaving Old Fort and he and his n@irenin, both had stundard time. Engin- ger Perkins and his fireman, Jim O’N eal, were killed on their engine, and fireman ? rAsheley McIntosh, jumped and was killed iby spinal concussion. Engineer Edwards was slightly hurt. The track was cleared tby 120’clock, and trains moving under Conductor Drake and engin- eer Perkins had lost their right to the rail. The accident isa deplorable one, and asconductor Drake and engineer Perkins and fireman O’Neal were all sober and reliable men, their action is un- accountable by all who knew them.” The Eads Ship Railway. Senator Vest has introduced a bill in the United States Senate to incorporate god foster Eads’ much talked of ship railroad across the Isthmus of Panama. With the present lights before us, we are pleased to see this; and in view of the important and growing commercial inter- Y gets of our country in the Pacific, we nope Congress will extend to the enter- _prise the aid necessary to give it success. *fhe subject has been thoroughly investi- ~°° gated by competent engineers and scien- ¢ific men, who have reported favorably on ¢ -¢hescheme. ——- a The latest news from Spain is that a conspiracy to establish a republic has heen discovered at Terragona, ‘and Pickett acquitted by the jury without leaving the box. Jennie has disappeared and it is thought has drowned herself. <> The richest man in the world, the late Wm. H. Vanderbilt, died of apoplexy, without a moment’s warning, without a parting word or groan. A similar death happened in our Courthouse a good many years ago toa juror in the jury box,a man named Barber.

Ward, of the late banking firm of Grant & Ward, now in the penitentiary, seems inclined to turn on the Grants— Buck, Fred, and the old General. The N. Y. Herald publishes an interview held with him,in which it comes out that Fred borrowed the securities (bonds) of the bank, raised money on them and lvan- ed this money to the bank at the rate of 20 per cent. per month; and the old gen- eral put in $141,000 and drew out $242,000; and much more of alike nature. Ward may yet let out facts enough to solve some of the mysteries vonnected with this remarkable banking company. a a SI Jacksonv@le, Fla., sustained a loss by fire, Dec. 17th, of about $450,000.

This provides that a vacancy occurring in the presidential chair shall be filled by succession, first of the Secretary of State, and in case of his death, by other mem- bers of the Cabinet. A bill has been presented in the House which provides that the electors of Presi- dert and Vice President shall be called in to fill any vacancy that may occur. It will probabbly elicit considerable debate in the House before the question is final- ly settled. aS One of the oldest papers in Virginia, the Richmond Whig, has been recently suspended by an order of Court and a re- ceiver appointed to close it out, for debt. And this is announced as the result of too much Jakoneism. The Whig fought Ma- hone’s battles for a long time, but has realized at last that it didn’t pay the printer. ——— — The Republicans in Congress are not a unit on the President's nominations, one faction being in favor of opposing all ex- cept those conspicuously good; while another favors the plan of considering each case upon its merits. It is now very generally admitted on all hands that the President is doing what he believes to be right, and he cheerfully submits his appointments to the ordeal of public criticism. Senator Beck, of Kentucky, made an attack on President Cleveland's financial policy Tuesday, particularly that in re- gard to the silver question. The speech created quite a sensation both in and out of the Senate chamber. More of it here- after. A Roman Catholic priest at East Du- buque, I'1., didn’t want to be bothered by a constable who went to collect a debt, and locked him up in his house. After the release of the officer, the priest locked himself in and defied the constable. N. M. Thayer, Esq., of Eldorado, Mont- gomery county, was here last week. He has bought an interest in the Henderson mine (in Montgomery) and reports min- ing active generally in that district. After seeing John Sherman’s picture in the Charlotte Observer today, we more than ever incline to the opinion that he is capable of doing anything mean or Vi- cious. The entombed miners near Wilkesbarre Pa., are believed to be dead—choked to death by black damp and gas—and that they are entombed forever. The owners of the mine have, however, put in a large force to work down to and recover the bodies, which, it is thought may be done in a month. A woman in West Virginia locked up in her ouse an infant of one year and a little girl of four, and went toa store near by. The house caught fire and the two children were lost. : ee EE > The Clay Eaters. AN EXPLANATION OF THE PECULIAR NORTH CAROLINA HABIT. It has been a matter of speculation for years as_ to why the “poor white trash” of Central North Carolina ate the clay that is found inthat part of the country. It re- mained for a Philadelphia physician to solve the mystery. A short time ago Dr. Frank H, Getchell, of 1482 Spruce street, went ona gunning expedition to North Carolina. His quest for game led him into the wild country back of Salisbury, which ig inhabited for the most part by a misera— ble race of beings with only just enongh energy toeke outa wretched existence. These creatures are nearly all veritable liv- ing skeletons and, with tew exceptions, are addicted to the habit of clay eating, While shooting wild turkey and other game inthis wild region, Dr. Getchell made an incidental study of this peculiar habit of vice among the inhabitants. It is a moun. tainous country and inthe spring little rivulets start out from the cabs of snow on the mountains and, as the days grow warm- er, the little rivulets become torrents and great washouts are made along the moun-— tain side. The soil is of a heavy, clayey nature, but tere arestrata of c'ay that are heavier than the rest, and when the water rushes down this clay is formed into little pellets and rolls and accumulates in heaps in the val- ley. These little pellets and rolls are what the clay eaters devour with as much avidi- ty as a toper swallows a glass of whisky. EVERYBODY EATS CLAY THERF, “Among the poor people of this section,” g poor peop ’ said Dr. Getchell the other day, “tl.e habit of eating clay is almost universal. Even little toddlers are confirmed in the habit and the appetite seems to increase with time. While investigating the matter 1 poor families and saw a little chap tied by the ankle to the leg of_a table, on which was placed a big dish of bread and meat and potatoes within easy reach. The child was kicking and crying, and I asked his mother why she had tied him up. She re- lied that she wanted -him to eat some food before he went out to the clay and he refused to doso, The woman confessed that she ate the clay herself, but explained that the child's health demanded that it eat some substantial food before eating any earth. Almost everyone I met in this sec- tion was addicted to this habit. They were all very thin, but their flesh secmed to be puffed out, This was particularly noticeable about the eyes, wich had 4 sort of reddish hue. ARSENIC IN THE CLAY. “All of the clay eaters were excessively lazy and indolent, and all these conditions combined led me tothe conclusion that there must be some sepative or stimulating qualities, or both, in the clay, and I deter- mined to find out whether there was or not. I consequently brought a lot of clay home with me and Professor Tiernan and myself made an analysis of the stuff and discovered that, instead of clay eaters, the inhabitants of Central North Carolina should more properly be called arsenic eaters. All of this clay contains aresenic, but exactly in what proportion we have not yet discovered. Arsenic eating is com- mon in many partsof the world and is practiced to a greater or less extant through- out the world. It acts as sedative and also as a stimulant. The mountaineers of Sty- ria, Austria, are jabitual arsenic eaters, They give as their reason for eating it that they are better able to climp the moun- tains after eating the poison, and their ex- planation is a perfectly reasonable one, as arsenic actsasa scdative to the heart's action. The habit is also prevalent in the Tyrol and the Alps. TO MAKE GIRLS’ EYES BRIGHT. “It is also said that the peasant girls of Switzerland and, parts of Germany and in Scandinavia cat arsenic to give lustre to their eyes and color to their cheeks, but this is a matter [ have not “investigated. It has been shown that arsenic or arsenical fumes are a sure cure for intermittent tever. The inhabitants of a section of Cornwall, England, at one time all suffered with this type of fever, but when the cop- per works were established the fever dis- appeared = This was accounted for by the arsenical fumes created in the treatment of copper. As to whether arsenic eating shortens life Iam uot yet prepared to say, but I intend investigating the matter thor- oughly.” The above is alice out of the whole cloth. It is from the pen of some idle brained Philadelphia sportsman, and while it can do no harm to the people of thisState to have such wanton lies writ- ten about them, yet it does have an effect. The effect is against the northern sports- men. They are trying to make arrange- ments to have their gun clubs come to this neighborhood for the purpose of shooting quail. The people very naturally will refuse them this privilege, for fear more “rot? may be fed to the northern reader from the spoon-shaped pen of one of these ‘‘la-de-da” sportsmen. This is about all that will result from the foregoing, or any other form of lying that may be indulged. The effect recoils on those who seek pleasure here, and not on the slandered people. Washington Letter. [From Our Regular Correspondent. ] WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, 1880. Oratory has free play during the week at both ends of the Capitol. Rules in the House of Representatives and Whiskey or Temperance in the Senate, have given to the proceedings of those bodies some unexpected touches of color, The House is still talking about a change of its rules, with little prospect of an early conclusion of the subject. In this debate as in all others the old evil of tireless talk is painfully prominent. The tendency of Congressmen to indulgence in excessive speech-making is a serious impediment to business, It is more saious than any of the abuses that were tolerated under the old rules, or that will be eliminated by the new code, Tie main issue now isa distribution of the power of making appropriations among eight committces, which power is now con- fined to three. Mr. Randall, the chairman of the general Appropriations Committee, is opposed to this plan and has some strong followers on both the Democratic and Re- ublican sides of the House. Representative forrison of Illinois leads the opposition and also has a strong following. The battle has been sharp, the galleries have listened with much interest, and the distinguished Pennsylvianian has been fiercely attacked and bas resented some personal remarks in a very able and dig- nified manner. In reply to a thrust made by a member from West Va. Mr. Randall denicd the allegation and said that he did not deal in personalities in the House. If any one wanted to deal with him personally he ought not to do it there. The Democrats who oppose a distribution of the Appropriations bills do so principal- ly upon the ground that it will loosen the purse strings of'the Treasury and present an opportnnity for needless extravagance which will be charged upon the party. Mr. Hammond, of Ga., who isin sympathy with Mr. Randall in antagonism to the distri- bution of bills mude same forcible argu- ments against it, He touched upon the Tariff questicn and declared that every at- tempt made by the Democratic party to revive the Tariff had been followed by a Democratic victory at the polls. ‘sMorrison,” he exclamed, “was Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee when Tilden was elected President.’ The Democrats laugh- ed and applauded. Mr.Hammond said some- thing about being afraid to try this exper- iment of scattering appropriation bills since the Democratic party had been posing for years es the party of reform, as the party of economy. A Republican member suggest- ed that posing was good. “Yes,” said Mr. Hammond, “and the country has been look- ing at our posture, and learning to admiie us until it has driven you out of power.” Speaker Carlisle has not yet completed the formation of a single one of his stand- ing committees. He is waiting on a revis- ion of therules. Itis his desire to pro— mote as close intimacy as possible between the majority in the House and the Admin- istration. He has consulted Cabinet ot- ticers, witb a view to selecting men with whom they must come in contact, who will be personally agreeable to them, so entered a cabin occupied by one of these} men to particular’ places.” Speaker Car- lisle is so judicial, so fair, and so euperior to taking a party advantage in the admin- istration of his duties that his political enemies even can find no cause of com- plaint. The Senate has passed the Presidential succession bill, and also the bill removing the disabilities of Gen. Lawton which never existed. Gen Lawton is here now and when the President signs the bill, it is thought he will appoint the General to the vacant Vienna Mission. The Succession bill gives the Presidency to the Cabinet in case of the removal or death of both the President and Vice-President. Preparations for the Holiday shold the at- tintion of almost everybody in Washington. Congress is taking a recess, and society is forgotten for the time, in anticipation of the gatherings around each fireside. President Cleveland will inaugurate a much needed reform at the White House by making early hours fashionable. His levees are to begin at cight instead of nine o'clock in the evening, gs heretofore. State dinners are to be served at seven P. M.,and New Year’s day receptions are to begin at ten o’clock in the morning, although eleven would suit most of those in official life much better. The President devoted considerable time during the weck to signing his name to lists of nominations to be sent to the Sen- ate. All of his recess nominations have been sent in now, and they number about twelve hundred. On going into his office a few mornings since and seeing an ava- lanche of papers on his desk, he exclaimed, “Great heavens! Have I made all those ap- pointments?” The President went to a pho~ tograph gallery during the week «end sat for his picture, in a group with his Cabinet officers, He also took time to dine with Secretary Bayard on Wednesday evening. The week was a busy one in Congress. The Senate debated and passed the Presi- dential succession bill, talked about pro- hibiting the sale of fiquors in the Senate restaurant, which it did not do, discussed Dakota’s late action in electing State Sen- ators, received bills, and acted upon some minor questions. Both Houscs passed the bill granting a pension of $5,000 a year to Mrs. Grant. In the Senate it passed unan- imously, in the House there was one vote against it, that of Representative Pierce, of Wisconsin. The House spent most of the week in discussing a change of rules, and decided by a vote of 226 to 70 to adopt the new Morrison code in relation to distributing the appropriation bills among the differ- ent committees. Mr. Randall being so badly beaten, politicians are wondering now what he will do. Will he or not ac- cept again the chairmanship of the Com- mittee, shorn of so much of its authority which he fought earnestly to retain. The action of the House in revising the rules has started a fresh speculation con- cerning committee chairmanships. The make-up of committees will be greatly af- fected by the new rules, and Speaker Carlisle has not been able to consider the matter definitely qu account of the un- certainty that has prevailed in regard to the change. He will arrange this trouble- some part of his duties during the holi- days and be able to announce the stand- ing committees when the House meets again on the fifth of January. The Pres- idential succession bill, which the Senate passed, will be taken up by the House immediately after the recess, There will be opposition to it from members of both parties, and several substitutes will be offered, among them a plan by Mr. Ran- dall, and another by Representative Dip- le, of South Carolina. Up to this time the Senate has not acted on any of the President's nomina- tions sent to it since the present session opened. Western Senators have been receiving large numbers of letters urging them to oppose the confirmation of Com- missioner Sparks of the Land ottice, be- cause of his recent rulings against the land thieves. Mr. Sparks was confirmed during the extra session last spring. Senators Sherman and Logan both made the blunder of not knowing this in writing to their constituents. <a The Old World. MICHAEL DAVITT ON GLADSTONE—A HOR- RIBLE MINE ACCIDENT.

A dispatch from Point Y Pridd, in Wales, reports that a terrible explosion has just occurred at Ferdale pit, near there, and that four hundred miners are entombed. No details of the catastrophe have as yet been received. A later dispatch says that 12 dead bodies have been taken out of Ferndale mine and 30 miners have been rescued more or less injured. The remainder of those who were in the mine at the time of the explosion are believed to be safe. _ In Western North Carolina the rail- roads run overa roadbed of two miles of beautiful variegated marble in Chero- kee county. ———_-.o_—_ Congress has as yet done little more than preparation work.

The “bad” places in the public road, three miles from Salisbury on the Gold Hill road—Hartman’s meadow and the rest—and some other places on the Mt, Pleasant road, have been most carefully and permanently repaired, by cutting the necessary ditches. A gentleman who travels these roads says that the overseer and people along them are to be praised for the labor and care taken to put the road in good condition. The WATCHMAN is glad to chronicle this jmprovement. Were the same kind of work dune on the other roads recently complained of, it would be generally appreciated. —_—————-.>-—__—_-—_ Christmas Eve.

In April 1865, shortly after the immor- tal Lee had surrendered at Appomattox, a worn out soldier, clad in rags, came to the door of the late Charles N. Price, beg- ging fur clothing. Mrs. Price had gath- ered a few suits of clothing from burning piles which were being destroyed by Stoneman’s raiders, in the stroets of Sal- isbury, only a few days before this appeal from the forlorn soldier, who was making his way she at once gave him a suit. He took them saying he had no money; but insisted on leaving a pin which he had worn through the war, promising to redeem it as soonas he reached home. He said he lived in Texas, homeward. and seemed very grateful for the cloth- ing. The pin has becn recognized as a “Chi Phi? badge, by a member of that society. On the back of the handsome pinis neatly engraved the name, T. L. Bulow. The pin is now in the possession of Mr. Robt. W. Price of this place, who is anx- ious that the owner, or his. family should | have it. The pin is cold, set with garnets, and is a valuable one.

Considerable stock has been subscribed, but the committee have only gone over the smaller part of the territory to be canvassed, and until they finish their work of soliciting, no further action will be necessary.

T notice that the County intends to McAdamize a small portion of the public road near the city, [ presume as an ex- periment. As such I would respectfully recommend to their worships that instead of MeAdamizing the whole width of the road, that only eight feet in the center be so treated, protected by granite curbing on the edges or sides, so as to prevent wagons in turning off from sinking the smaller stones in the mud, I would also suggest this plan to the city. That eight feet is amply sufficient you, Mr. Editor, can testify from your expe- rience in plank roads, apart from the saving of a vast amount of unnecessary expense. Economy. The above is a good suggestion, no doubt. An 8-foot track well made and protected by stone stringers on the edges, will answer the purpese. There will be no danger of digging holes at the sides by wagons turning off in passing; for they would not, probably, meet at the same point on the road one time in a hundred. <> For the Watchman. No Vacancy, SaLispury, N. C., Dec. 22, 1885, Mr, Editor: The action of the County Commissioners, in reconsidering the res- ignation of Mr. Sumner, in my opinion, was both regular and legal, as the follow- ing facts attest: At the regular Novem- Mr. Sumner tendered his resignation, The Commissioners accept- e et it to take effect at a ‘subseaqti for the following .good an reasons, to wit—they did not wish to create a vacancy until the Justices of the peace could be called together; and. they desired to have the services of a chairman to transact any business that might be uired in the mean time. This action, it was thought, was both proper and wise. The first Monday in December they met as usual, Mr. Sumner being Chairman. After the minutes of the last meeting were read, a motion was made by Dr. Coleman to reconsider their action in regard to Mr. Sumncr’s resigna- tion, and Mr. Kluttz submitted the mo- tion toa vote. It passed unanimously. “These are the facts.” I claim there never has been any vacancy whatever, and the purpose of the Commissioners in not accepting the resignation uncondi- tionally, was to guard against a vacancy. Now, before the hour for the meeting of the Justices of the Peace arrives, they de- cide to reconsider their previous action. They did so, as they thought they had a perfect right to do, there being no vacan- cy at the time, the regularly clected chairman actually occupying the chair when the motion was made, I therefore can see no occasion for alarm in the ac- tion of the Commissioners as establishing an improper precedent, or from the want of regularity or legality. Their action was both wise and conservative. ANOTHER J. P. - epee For the Watchman. Feeding Land. Fertilize land by feeding stock! How can that be done? It is said that thous- ands of farmers in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and other northern and western States, are justi now learning that the easiest possible way to restore the failing fertility of their lands is to feed stock—the richer the food given them the better. Ah, they sell the stock as beef cattle, or the butter from them, at prices which cover the cost of feed, and have tons of excellent manure for their lands left as a clear profit. Thus, they say, feeding their stock feeds their lands. This was the plan of our grandfathers. The northern farmers are going back to the practice of ancient rules, under which, however, farmers in old times got rich. Many southern farmers still stand by guano at $45 a ton, because they believe there is money in it—and there is, to those who sell it. Some few who have heard that their grand daddies never used a pound of commercial fertilizers and yet raised large families of bouncing girls and robust boys and made money by farming, have a notion that they will try to do so too—next year, or the year after next, if not sooner. It is about as hard to quit guano as it is to quit chewing tobacco. A fellow can fight the seven years’ itch with his finger nails and mercurial ointment with some degree of satisfaction ; but when it comes to fighting guano with home-made manure the battle becomes doubtful.

Some of the Southern cotton mills are reported as making money “hand over fist.’ At several points capacity is being increased and new buildings for shop room and forthe use of employees are being erected. ; In Swain county, N. C., there isa church of nature’s own workmanship. It is near Jarrett’s. It is called the ‘“‘natural rock house.” It stands on the Nanta- hala river, facing the river and the rail- road, and resembles the ruins of an an- cient mansion. The long, arched pillows give ita very majestic appearance. It has five rooms, the largest of which holds about 3800 persons and is used for a church. Immigration to North Carolina, as re- ported by the Agent of Immigration, Mr. John T. Patrick, is encouraging. “He cs- timates the arrival of settlers at 150 a month, mostly from the Northern States, The amount brought into the State by each is estimated at an average of $2,500. Most of them are settling west of Grecns- boro.

Experiments on the sleep fishes have been made in London by Mr. W. August Carter. He has found that the fresh water fishes observed—the roach, dace, gudgeon, carp, tence, minnow and cat- fish—sleep periodically, like terrestrial animals. The same is true of some marine fishes, such as the wrasse, conger cel, dory, dogsh, bass, and all species of flat fish, but the gold fish, pike and angler fish do not appear toslcep at all, although they rest periodically. At Durham, N. C., a great center of the tobacco trade, a cotton mill is just getting under way for manufacturing the cloth for the little sacks in which smoking to- bacco is packed. It is now turning out over a thousand yards a day, and will goon run it up to four thousand, most of which will be used right there. At the New Orleans Exposition isa beautiful mica pavilion filled with rubies, sapphires, amethists, emeralds and other gems and ores from North Carolina. There are no diamonds, although the cu- rious itacolumite, the gangue of the dia- mond, is there in long flexible slabs. Therefare also special collections of gems and ornamental stones, etc. Dr. D. F. Wright of Clarksville, Tenn., has been studying the mica industries in North Carolina, and thinks there isa bonanza for the right men, asall the mica mines in the United States can now be bonght very cheap. Mr. Randall proposes to prevent the immediate passage of the Hoar Presiden- tial succession bill by giving the election to the Presidential Electors.

' sufficient) a4, id Manufacturing Com- pany, whites malts are at Kennebunk, in York county, was organized in 1884 with a paid up capital of $125,000, tee hy lately been authorized to increase to , 000. --'The demand for their pecutiar roduct, and the numerous articles made rom it, has increased’ so rapidly and to such an extent that the company, who now occupy four large buildings in their business, are erecting two additional fac- tories.at Kennebunk, one of which, 100x 50 and three stories, will be devoted ex- clusively to the manufacture of leatheroid trunks and boxes. The factories are run both by steam and water, and the special tools which are largely used are mostly made in the machine shop of the compa- ny. Since the original patents issued on this material in 1877, it @as been much improved and various patents have been taken out by the company for articles and processes of manufacture. The products of the mills now include sample trunks, which are made a specialty ; roving cans, boxes and baskets for mill uses ; insulat- ing materials for electrical appliances, and other articles too numerous to mention. Leatheroid is a new material very closely resembling rawhide -in texture, butis much stiffer and holds it shape better. Its basis is pure cotton-fibre, yet by chemical treatment and proper ma- nipulation it is made into sheets of mod-| erate thickness, as tough and stiff as horn. Leatheroid roving cans, cars and boxes for factory and warehouse purposes have been introduced into the principal cotton and other factories of the United States, and meet with universal favor from their lightness and strength. From this mate rial the company make a sample-trunk that is rapidly being adopted by commer- cial travelers in place of the various kinds heretofore used, as it is lighter than any others of equal strength, and superior in durability to anything but rawhide which costs about twice as much. Leatheroid is one of the best insulating materials known, and is already in quite extensive use on railroads in connection with elec- tric signals, and can also be used in many cases as a substitute for hard rubber or celluloid at much less cost. It is really a remarkable substance, and being compar- atively new, it will doubtless be applied to a thousand uses as yet unthought of.— Industrial Journal, ->_-+a>>--——_--— The promptness with which the bill granting a ¢ension of $5,000 a year ‘to the widow of Gen.

This is a common mite, a full description in the Report U. 8. Ent. Com., 187%, p. 306, An enemy of the locust. When the locust fills the ground with its eggs this mite sucks them. It also fastens itself on the bodies of locusts and grass- hoppers, as in this specimen, and sucks their juices until it swells up and looks like an excrescence on the larger insect. 979), Mr. J. 8. Lane, Stonewall, sent to the Station some bugs that were “very troublesome on squash and pump- kin vines.” They were the common Squash Bug. The U. 5. Dept.

Others have found that insect powder, Pyrethrum, either mixed with cheap flour or stirred up in water, will destroy the bugs.

Terms to suit nod:6m through the lean part of the meat, and also in the heart. They seem to be in rows, two or three ina row. The hog was fat, but it took a long time to fat- ten him. The hogs look like they have the mange, draw up and will not grow. Their noses look too large. They eat well, and sometimes live a year and then die. I have written this, and send the things to get help or advice how to help myself.” The following was our report: The vesicles are the encysted form of acommon. tape-worm, or cysticercus cellulosus. The disease in hogs is known as “Measles,” and is usually contracted in the first case by access to the excrement of persons harboring a tape-worm (Taenia solium). It is likely that all of the hogs in the range with this one,as described in your letter, are infested with this dangerous parasite, This parasite has three stages of life, or forms: First—The eggs, which come in mul- titudes from the fully developed tape- worm or third stage, and may be taken into the hog’s or man’s system from the excrement of a person having tape- worm, or in drinking-water, salads and other vegetable substances eaten raw or partly cooked. The eggs, thus taken, work into the muscular system, espe- cially the muscles of the throat and heart. This is a severe and dangerous disease in the human, producing an irritation of the muscles and getting into the brain, it causes a painful death. Second—In the muscles of the man, or hog, the eggs multiply and lodge themselves in these cells. The cells are apt to be larger about the throat and heart, though they infest and irn- tate all the muscular tissues. In this form it is known as cysticercus cellu- losus. Third—Now let a man eat some of chis meat, uncooked or imperfectly cookel, with the cysticercus still alive in it, and one of the little worms from the inside of these cells will lodge in the alimentary canal and rapidly de- velop there into that enormous parasite known as taenia solium, or ftape-worm. Of course it is your duty to destroy all this meat, and, as it is almost cer- tain that the other hogs described have the disease too, you should isolate them from all other animals at once and kill them as soon as possible. You might work their carcasses into soap grease and use the residue when thoroughly boiled, as a fertilizer. It is sucha dangerous thing, both to hogs and men, that Iam sure you will use every pre- caution. A similar case was found at Hickory in 1883. It is not an uncom- mon disease, and swine breeders ought to be familiar with these facts. Cuas. W. Dapney, JR., Director. ee To SubscripErs.—Remember that Mr. Jas. H.

Philadelphia Press A very natty two horse brougham stopped with a flourish at the corner of Spruce and Eleventh streets yesterday afternoon. Its varnish was a dark olive and a crest was painted in crimson en each door. The negro coachman on the box shivered under his cape of sable until the cockade on his hat shook. His face was a dirty gray in hue—not unlike dish water. A prim English waiter bounced bare- headed down the steps of the house be- fore which the carriage stopped and opened the door for two befurred ladies. he elder of the pair, who was evident- ly the mistress of the carriage and man- sion, turned and looked anxiously at the coaehman as soon as she alighted. He trembled more than ever and cow- ered beneath his cape. : “James,” said the mistress in a griev- ed tone, “it’s happened again.” “Can't help it, missus,” answered the coachman, in a voice of resignation. “Well, don’t keep the horses stand- ing.” said the lady, petulantly. As the caarriage disappeared around the corner she turned to her compan- ion and said, desparingly: “T really don’t know what Vl do.” “Why, what's the matter, my dear?” was the sympathetic response. “T sent clear to South Carolina,” the elder woman replied, “to get a man to mateb my brougham.

I was against the policy, but those above me sent me over to Aleck Stephens, with instructions to try to convert him to the policy of patting the negroes in. I rode over from camp to where Mr. Stephens | was, and after a short conversation, brought up the subject I was to speak with him on. No sooner had I done so than he hopped up and made me a speech of over an hour's length. You can imagine my feelings. When he concluded and sat down we talk- ed of other matters for a while, and then I casually mentioned the negroes again, Up jumped little Aleck and made me another speech of an hour or 80's length. I, alone auditor, sat it through. He finished, sat down and we had a short conversation on other topics. A third time 1 ventured to speak of the negroes and up hopped the wreat commoner and made me another specch. When he sat down I stole a glance at my watch. It was two o'clock in the morning.

The Rise In Iron. Atlinta Constitution. Steel rails have advanced from $26—the ruling price last summer-to $34 at present for delivery in 1886. THe rail mills agreed to limit production to 775,000 tons, and al- ready orders for nearly that amount have been booked, and the allotment has been increased to 1,000,000 tons. The full ca- pacity of the rail mills in the country is only 1,200,000 ton; so it appears the de- mand may equal the productive capacity of the mills. These orders have come in in the course of three months, and if the “boom” is maintained there will be ac- tivity in at least one branch of the iron trade, The activity in the iron trade is not con- fined to steel rails. Wire rods, which are consumed in immense quantities, are stiff at increased and increasing prices. Nails command better figures, and there is a pre- valent feeling that iron isa good thing to speculate in, Such a tecling generally creeps in just before an advance all along the whole line. If iron is the true barometer of business, it follows that better times are ahead; for the iron market is more promis - ing than it has been in two years. The inyestigations of Mons.

A pessimistic account of the forest des- truction in Eastern America is given bya writer in the Southern Bicouac, from which it seems that if “the progress of tree-des- truction in the Western Alleghenies should continue at the present rate the yearly inundations of the Ohio Valley will soon assume an appalling magnitude, and ere long thescenes of the river suburbs of Louis ville and Cincinatti will repeat themselves at Nashville and Chattanooga, while the summers will become hotter and drier, In the Gulf States the work of desiccation has made alarming progress; brooks and streams shrink from year to year and warm summers expose the gravel of river—beds which fifty yearsago could hardly betouch- ed by the kecls of heavy-liden vessels.

Philadelphia, Dec. 9—Bolivar, the larg- est elephant now in captivity, on Monday had a terrifie encounter with the Nubian lion Prince, at the winter quarters of Forepaugh’s menagerie, and the lion, which was valued at $2,000, Was killed. The trainer had entered the cage with the beast. Prince was in a surly mood and attacked him. In endeavoring to es- cape, the trainer loosed the bars of the cage and fell out. The lion bounded out after him, clearing his body as it lay on the tan-covered ground. He did not turn back, however, but pursued his way through the ring barn and entered the open door of the elephant house. Bolivar stood where he was chained to a stake near the door. The lion attacked him and an encounter ensued which ended in the lion's being crushed to death. The pensions for the year ending 30th June, 1885, aggregated $64,078-, 455 —an increase of £8,69.838 over the preceding year. Since 1561 the Uni- ted States have paid S$714.040,541 in pensions. Is it any wonder that taxes are high? There are 345.125 pension- ers.

Arbanta, Ga., Dec. 17.—This morning in the United States Court Judge McCay decided the contested clection case grOow- ing out of the recent prohibition election in this county. He had previously granted a temporary order rest raining the ordinary form announcing the result of the clection, which was for prohibition. The Judge refused to continue the injunction, deciding the case against the liqnor men on every point. There is in the bill adopted a pro— vision that Georgia wines may be sold, but as wines from States were excluded, that portion of the pill Judge McCay decided to be unconstitutional and that vo wines can be sold.

The Postmaster General has made an order fixing the fees on international money orders on and after January, 1886, as follows: For sums not exceeding $10, 10 cents; over $10 and not exceeding $20, 2%) cents ; over $20 and not exceeding $30, 30 cents; over $30 and not exceeding $40, 40 cents; over $40 and not exceeding $50, 50 cents.

ISDAY, DEC. 31, 1885, Carolina TEL) Humbuggery. The Statesville Landmark has been dealing out some sensible advice to those who trade with strolling peddlers, having heard of a considerable swindle in a neighboring county by one of them. The War HuMAN also has from time to time warned country people to beware of the strollers, and when they want anything to go to a responsible and respectable merchant who may always be found and confronted, if necessary, about any article he may sell which fails to be as repre- sented. But people are hard to learn— so hard that it convinces us that Dr. H—, | of Louisiana, when a young man and had occasion to excuse himself for “playing rizht when he exclaimed, life bu some they won't like you.” Yes, he was right in his judgment of the nature of men and women; and as he was fond of arity, he would feel the bumps on would pepul vive them bread pills and cure by inspir- ing with the hope of living ; if suffering lack of excitement, he would send ipa balloon, or tell a laughable story. He always knew what he was doing, and made everything pay as it Came or as it went. ‘‘People love to be humbugged ;”’ peddlers know it, and the newspapers had about as well stop preaching against for the Ithem, for they are going to “travel” in spite of it all. ro Oe The Charlotte Obsercer no that no accidents have happened on the this Christmas, as_ is generally tes the fact railroads the case, whereof railroad men are glad.

Ramsay, a portion of a letter written | him from his brother, Mr. W. G. Ramsay, | now at the Akankoo mines, West Africa, is published. It bears date Noy. 12, 1885, | He says: Nothing of interest has transpired in ithis part of creation since I last wrote -you. I went down to Axim day before yesterday, Axim is about 85 miles from ‘the mines by river. We went down in {our launch in two hours and five min- jutes. Pretty good traveling for a steam /launch en a river in Africa. Coming | back 1 saw four or five alligators sunning themselves on the river bank. I had no gun or I could have killed them. I had a pistol though, and shot at them. Whether I succeeded in hitting any of them or not I can’t say, but I woke them from their sleep and caused them to roll linto the water. Also saw a monkey and |}inore parrots than you could shake a I stick at. Axim is a small town on the | sea shore and only one or two white peo- lon the harp of a thousand strings,’? was ple are there. There is only one buildin “Bless your | . Ee » > > re 2» n- : : friend, the people love to be hum | now resides there. These old forts along eed, and if you don’t humbug ’em | of any importance in it and that is an olc slave fort. he British D. Commissioner the coast are where they used to bring the slaves bought for safe keeping until some vessel caine to take them away. I was honored to-ay by a visit from one of the native kings, who came down in all | his glory with all his emblems of royalty j about him, After talking awhile through an interpreter, | gave the old fellow a bottle of trade gin, and he went away yery much pleased ; for they are all pas- sionately fond of gin. When one dies they all want gin to have a kind of Irish wake. One of them “kicked the bucket” not very long ago, and they came to me to gct gin for a “palaver,” as they eall it; but it not being exactly in accordance with wy notions as to the way dead peo- ple should be treated, or rather living people should treat the dead, I sent them away empty handed, Since [last wrote you I have had an attack of the celebrated “African fever,” and I tell you it’s “a caution.” It don't give any warning of its approach, but suddenly comes on and Jays you on your bed to stay until it gets through with you. Thad awful pains with it all the time. A pain would start down my back like “greased lightning’ and branch off into two or three parts and die out. These pains would almost make me jump out of bed, and they returned about every ten seconds. The severest pain was one I had near the heart. It was caused by an inflammation of some of the parts sur- rounding the heart, and when it first came on it felt as if a heavy weight were resting on my body. Soon after coim- menced a throbbing pain, which lasted a whole day and night. The doctor put a leach on my chest which took some blood from me. I can’t describe the African feyer, and there is no use in my trying. The syinptoms are peculiar to it—not ex- perienced in any other disease. I am entirely over it now and feel perfectly well, I would certainly bein no hurry to leave here, but the Company will, IT am almost sure, burst up in a few months. So much money has been spent foolishly on the property, that now when the Com- pany is about to get a good reef the mon- ey runs out. The same old mining story. A postseript says Mr. Ramsay will probably remain in Africa until the, last of January next, after which time he will visit Paris and other points in the old world before returning to his native State. or Literary Department. Conducted by A. R.,,Goldsboro, N.C. “Phe Century Magazine’’—Conspicu- ous among the varied features of the January “Century” are the short stories, “Trouble on Lost Mountain,’ by Joel Chandler Harris (Uncle Remus), is even more powerful than his longer character novelette, “At Teague Ivtects’,’ the scene of both being laid among the moon- shiners of northern Georgia. In the other short story of the number, “The Cloverfields Carriage,” by Frank R. Stockton, the humorous motive is the desire of a negro coachman who had left his former owners, in order to make his freedom appear a reality, to recover his former dignity as a trusted servant bf the family. Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote’s new serial of Western Life, ‘John Bodewin’s Testimony,” in the third part points strongly to dramatic situations. Mr. James's ‘‘Bostonians’” assumes new and interesting phases as it approaches the conclusion, which will be reached in the next number. The companion magazine issued from the same presses is the “St. Nicholas’’—a maeazine for Young Folks. The issue for January is both in point of time and contents another Christmas number. W. D. Howells leads off with his long- promised story, which is delightfully un- conventional, and has the bewilderingly suggestive title, “Christmas Every Day,” and some amusing illustrations by his little daughter. Mrs. Francis Hodgson Burnett follows with another installment of her charming serial, “Little Lord Fauntleroy ;’ Horace E. Scudder, the au- thor of the favorite “Bodley” books, con- tributes the opening amd very interesting chapters of his story of the life of George Washington, which will be illustrated from many sources; there is a short “Bit of Talk for Young Folks,’? by Helen Jackson (H. H.); and H. H. Boyesen writes one of his entertaining tales of two continents. ‘There is not room to tell of the many other attractions of this num- ber. “Outing’—The January number of Outing contains several articles of special interest. In “Thoughts on Archery” is presented a history of archery from earli- est times accompanied by a frontispiece and many other superb illustrations, drawn by Hy. Sandham. An illustrated yachting article, in two parts, “The Cruise of the Phiioon,”’ with humorous illustrations by Reed, from the Log of the Cruise, begins in this issue. The Thomas Stevens series, “Around the World on a Bicycle,” increases in interest with each issue as he journeys toward the Orient. The January paper of the series is en- titled “Bulgaria, Roumelia, and into Turkey,” and is fully illustrated. A de- scription of The Ladies’ Tricycle Run to Kettle Cove,” by Minna Caroline Smith, graces also the pages of “Outing.” Pub- lished at 175 Fremont St., Boston. “The Overland Monthly’—The last “Overland” is a fit number to close a year of great advance aud promise, It contains the announcements for 1886, which show a prospect of even larger gains during the coming year. The Eastern, English, and Colonial press has for months begun to comment on this Pacific magazine in tones as Warm as those of the Western press; and “far in advance of any literary periodical west of the Alleghanies,” is a frequently recur- ring phrase. It is always a matter of surprise to those making the acquaintance of the “Overland,” that the Pacific slope can produce so mature literary Tesults ; and it is hard to imagine anything that can do more to raise the Eastern and foreign ideas of the Pacific community than a journal like this, going out, as the “Overland does, to all corners of the opments of a community’s higher civili- zation—its schools, art, music, churches, libraric —remain within its 6wn borders, and are known to outsiders only by visits; but its literature goes forth far and wide, to everyone’s door. Such a magazine is certain to prove a most valuable agent in building up the good name of the State and thereby attracting to it the best class of people. It is therefore nut only an honor, but a matter of direct interest to the people of that region to support lib- erally this excellent journal. No cultured home can do without it. Published monthly at 120 Luiter St., San Francisco, Cal. We welcome to our desk that excellent monthly, ‘‘Ballou’s Magazine,” which is a family magazine in every respect. The contents for January are unusually ‘“en- tertaining, instructive, amusing reading.” It now appears in a new and attractive dress of type, which, while adding to the appearance of this popular magazine, must greatly increase its value to sub- scribers by reason of its legibility of char- acter. The beauty and clearness of the type and printed page reflects credit alike on the type founders and the printers. The illustrations are faultless and to the point. This improvement, together with the fact that some of the best and most popular writers in the English language will continue to contribute to its pages, makes “Ballow’s Monthly” the cheapest and most valuable publication of its kind in the world. Boston, G. W. Studley. Terms, $1.50 +. An Interesting Fact. {Hickory Press] B. F. Grady, Esq., of Duplin county, one of the most learned men in the State, writes to the News and Observer, recalling the historical fact that Aaron Burr resigned the office of Vice-President in 1802 (or there abouts) and became a candidate for Governor of the State of New York. Mr. Grady proceeds thus: “There upon, iff infer rightly, the Senate chose a North Carolinian to be its presiding ofticer—Jesse Franklin, of Surry,—at the same time that Nathaniel Macon was Speaker of the house of representatives. At any rate I find their names signed to an act of the Congress approved March 26, 1804. This was a distinction—and the recalling of it was the main purpose cf this note—which has no parallel in the history of this Union.” That North Carolina should have fur- nished the presiding officers of both branch- es of Congress in 1802 was not only an interesting coincidence, but a fact that shows that our rural people were capable eighty years ago of furnishing men of the first mark to the councils of the Nation. —— oo eo Don't Be a Clam. Winston Sentinel. Frank Siddell, the famous soap manu- facturer, and the most practical as well as original advertiser in the country, in one of his homilies about advertising, which, it is needless to say, closes with the advice to not be a clam, says: Don’t advertise by means of circulars, or sandwich-men, or fence painting, or bill posting merely because it has been done for thirty years, or because you have always done it, or because some old fos- sils believe in it. Every family takes a newspaper nowadays ; they did not do so thirty years ago. Be on the lookout for new ideas. Keep up with the times. Don't get set in ‘your ways. Don't be a clam.

Just twenty-seven miles from the classic city of Athens, Ga., is located the thriving little town of Maxey’s, the residence of Mr. Robert Ward, who has just been released from a most perilous predicament, the par- ticulars of which he has consented to give to the public. He writes as follows: Maxey’s, OGLETHORPE Co., Ga. - July 9th, 1885. : For twelve or fourteen years I have been 7@ great sufferer from a terrible form of ‘blood poison which ran into thé secondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, face and shoulders became | almost 4 mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating away my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that -for three years I absolutely refased to let people see me. -I used large quantities of most noted blood remedics and app‘ied to nearly all physicians near me, but my con- dition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must sureiy die. My bones be- came the seat of excruciating aches and pain’; my nights were passed in misery ; I was reduced in flesh and stremgth; my kidneys were terribly deranged, and life became a burden to me. Ichanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B., and sent one dollar to W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had been used, I was pronounced sound and well. Hundreds of scars can now be seen on me, looking like a man who had been burned abd then restored. My cause was well known in this county, and for the benefit of those who may be similarly af- flicted, I think it my duty to give the facts to the public, and to extend my heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy. I have been well for over twelve months, and no return of the discase has occurred. ROBERT WARD. Maxey’s, Ga., July 1, 1885.—We, the un—- dersigned, know Mr. Robert Ward, and take pleasure in saying that the facts above stated by him are true, and that his was one of the worst cases of Blood Poison we ever knew in our county, and that he has been cured by B.

The fire-cracker business was the source of great pleas ire to Young America, who measures his happiness by the amount of noise he can make; but Gray Heads em- phatically pronounced it a nuisance. Those in arrears for the WATCHMAN are requested to settle up. Now, reader, this paragraph is not intended for Tom in Maine, Dick in California, or Harry in Florida; but for you, if you are behind, The young people ‘of Salisbury have hada most jolly Christmas and holiday season, There have been dances, ger- mans and the like, for old and young; a social party at ne Joseph Horah’s, and any number of dinner and tea parties. Drs. J. Whitehead and H. T. Trantham have formed a partnership and will here- after practice together. Dr. Trantham’s office is being remodeled, and will be occupied by the new medical firm. On Christmas day two little boys— Willie Wallace aud Bernie Loeper—were injured, the latter painfully, by the ex- plosion of abox of powder. It scems they had the box between them and were loading a toy cannon, when a third boy threw some fire into the box. Dangerous fun. Mr. W.L. Harris hitched a fine $150 mare near the depot at China Grove, last Thursday. She broke loose, and the train going east caught her on the track in a deep cut aud killed her. No damage to the train, but it was a sad loss to Mr. Harris. Prof. J. M. Weatherly was here this week. Heis well remembered by both parents and children as the most popular principal the Salisbury Graded School has ever had. He has a flourishing subscrip- tion school numbering sixty-five, at Jamestown, this State. His already large school will have two additions from Salis- bury, as Masters Victor Boyden and Tom McNeely will join the next session, which begins the se¢ond Monday in January. Har Sueet.—It has been the cus- tom, through many years at this office, to publish only a half sheet during the Christmas holidays, in order to afford Jall in the establishment the common enjo ments of the season. The WatcHMAN tenders to its read- ers, one and all, a New Year greeting, fondly hoping that they may be pros- perous and happy in all lawful pursuits, and blessed in the social, civ if and re- ligious interests of human life. The Christmas holidays more rationaliy observed here than we have ever known. The elders were moderate in their enjoyments. The boys have popped their crackers in the streets, fred their big guns, and given their in- dian whoops, and capered around as if they had yellow jackets in the legs of their pants; but these were brief moments of out-bursting joy. They didn’t keep it up all day and allnightas they have sometimes done. They. drew the stopper for only afew minutes at atime, and then they would cork up for a while, and seemed to consider and to enjoy what they had done. We give them credit for mod- eration and now asthe season is nearly over, we hope it will close on them all with pleasant things to be remembered— pleasant memories to carry along the journey of life. Exeunt Christmas holi- days. have been The Montgomery Vidette. She first number of the Troy, Mont- unty paper, under the edito- gomery ¢ ral y ON of Messrs. E. Hurley and J. W. MS ‘enzie, is to hand.

It deserves a liberal support, and the people of Montgomery should encourage it handsomely, for they have many and yaried interests to be promoted by a journal in the county. “ Wilkesboro and Wilkes County. A citizen of Rowan just returned from Wilkes county, brings cheering accounts of the prospects in Wilkes. Nothing but a railroad is needed to make it one of the most desirable sections in the State. He saw some Yadkin bottom lands sold at $50 per acre. from market this was certainly a fine price. The town of Wilkeshoro is also improving, and every prospect pleasing. Editor Carolina Watchman: DEAR SrR:—Will you kindly furnish your subscribeis with a published list of arrivals at all the hotels from Dec. 1st to Jan. Ist, ’86, and very much oblige A SUBSCRIBER. Dec. 26th, ’85. The estimated number of arrivals for this time is about six hundred. As the list would take up considerable space and is not of general interest, we must de- cline to publish it. eee Pensions. Postmaster Boyden says that all of the pension checks haye been taken from the office except one for Mrs. E. Van Wyatt. A number of applicants whose claims have been passed on favorably, have called for checks, Their checks have not been received at this office, and to save trouble, they had better communicate with Auditor W. P. Roberts, at Raleigh, who can give all information. The Post- master, of course, knows nothing about the business, except to deliver such mail as comes to his office. eS ge Hymen's Torch Ablaze. The society people of Salisbury stop a moment from the joyous festivities of the holidays to mark the march of Hymen. The devotees of the terpsichorean muse pause amid the whirl of the waltz to catch the names of those who have deserted their circle just as the merriment of the season had reached its zenith.—Mr. Theo. Buerbaum was happily married to Miss Francis Sarah Virginia Eames, at her father’s residence, on last Tuesday even- ing. The ceremony was performed by Rey. F. J. Murdoch, and there were none present except the immediate family. The happy pair boarded the evening train fora trip north. This was a complete surprise to the town, and this way of just slipping the minister into the house and having it all over before one is aware of it, is becoming very popular, and hits the gossips of the town “all in a heap.” ee The Christmas Trees. The hearts of the Sunday school chil- dren of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran and Baptist churches were made glad on Christmas eve. In all of these churches appropriate exercises, de- votional and praise, were conducted by the pastors, and with such musical ad- juncts as the choirs introduced. In the Methodist church Prof. W. H. Neave had charge of the music and the programme as published in last WATCHMAN was ren- dered. His opening slide Trombone solo —Grand Fantassie, La derniere rose de Vete—was by long odds the most magnifi- cent thing heard here in many a day. At the Presbyterian church, Maj. and Mrs. G. P. Erwin, Mrs. Thos. Murphy, Miss Rumple and Miss Lizzie Brown, suppor- ted on the grand organ by Miss Ella Grown, rendered some very fine selec- tio.s. At the other churches, the music was rendered by the Sunday school chil- dren. The were handsome many of the "presents elegant. trees and a ee The Otter Slide. The old cellar under the extension of the Mansion Hovse has been used as a bar for thirty or forty years. It was first called the “Otter Slide” by Jim Long, an uncle of Col, Thos. B. Long, who had a keen sense of the ludicrous. The first bar kept there was by Antony®Bencini, in 1850-55. It has been the rendezvous for many a carousal, and the scene of many a nightly orgy. Recent improve- menis have completely changed its ap- Bee irance, and destroyed its existence as a “slide.” AN OLD BUTTON. While these improvements were being made, and the ground under the build- ing was being dug down, Rev. Mr. Lam- beth picked up a copper button about the size of a silver dollar, though not so thick, on the front of which is this in- scription, “Long Live the President,” and in an elliptical depression in the cen- tre are the raised letters, G. W. The eye of the button is gone. It was evidently made and worn during the presidential term of George Washington, and is an in- teresting relic of the enthusiasm of the American people in political matters in the early days of their history, <> LIST OF LETTERS.

T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR. ~ New Hoover Hill Hoover Hill keeps a steady producing record, Supt, Freecheville reports to the London company the result of the No- vember returns as follows: twenty-four and afourth days, crushed 717 tons of ore, yielding 346.67 ounces of gold. This amount of gold is worth nearly $7, 000. The bar shipped was. No. 37. ——— Deep River Copper Mine. The Deep River Copper mine, in Moore county, is animportant,one. Mr.S.R. has just returned and has placed in the WATCHMAN cabinet, specimens of rich green carbonate of copper, with some pretty splotches of Azurite—a rather rare form of carbonate for this State—and a piece of jasper from a four foot outcrop, and some pieces of specular iron ore. Mr. Harrison is enthusiastic over this property and says there are many veins of mineral on it, yet untouched. ee Suggestions and Facts. Some one ought to open up the quartz veins that cross the Stoke’s Ferry road at or near the 14-mile post, where the Gold Hill and Bringle’s Ferry roads cross, and on Alex Morgan’s land; the one on Char- lie Morgan’s land where the vein crosses the Stokes’ Ferry road at the 15-mile post; and the one on James Lisk’s land where the vein crosses the road at the 16 mile post. Some work hasbeen done back of these places, N, E.some one half mile, and the veins show up nicely in aslate formation, and contain galena. There is a good large galena vein crossing Stoke's Ferry road alsoon John W. Miller’s land, which is supposed to be the southern con- tinuation of Silver Mill, or Silver Valley veins. Attention is called to these. Some prospect work has lately been done on Wilson Kesler’s property show- ing veins carrying gold and copper. Another place shows brown hematite iron ore, and is likely to run into galena aud copper. Arrangements are being made to erect a Drag Mill on Wilson Morgan’s land, to work some of the ores mined a couple of years ago by some Eastern miners, who abandoned the work because they did not know what they had when they pan- ned it. It is safely estimated that there are 100 MILES of vein maiterin Morgan township, this county, that carries gold, copper and galena. Is there any need to hunt any further for mines ? ep Mining in 1886. It is the purpose of the editor of this column to keep as full and reliable notes on mining in all its phases, as can be ob- tained during next year. While ina pecuniary sense it amounts to but little to the editor, yet it is important in that the industry to the outside world, and encourages others to engage in the work in this State. In this view of the matter, all Superintendents and others interested are invited to write such reliable facts as they may deem of interest to the public, either from a scientific or industrial view of the sub- ject. The WarTcHMAN will welcome all such communications. And just here the writer begs to thank those of his friends who have so kindly aided him in giving to the public interesting and valuable With the co-opera- great it advertises matter during 1855. tion of the workers in this field, good may be accomplished for the State in stimulating both iabor and capital to further and more persistent effort. It is with a sincere desire to uccomplish some- thing in this line, and that alone, which animates the effort onthe part of the writer. With this simple and unselfish motive prompting him, ue does not hesi- tate to ask for the co-operative assistance indicated above. The prospects for were never so bright as now, This will be, from all the indications, the most active year ever known in the history of mining in thisState. With ‘Hoover Hill,” the “North State,” the ‘Big Russell” the “Zeb Russell,”theCoggins,”’ the ‘‘Steele,” the “Sam Christian,” the “st. Catherine,” the “Rudisil,’ the “Capps Hill,” the “Pheonix,” “Gold Hill,’”’the ‘Yadkin Chlo- rination Works,” the ‘‘Vein Mountain,’ the “Marion Bullion Co.,” and many oth- ers that the writer could name, in activi- y, besides the enormous amount of ma- chinery thatis to gointo place in this State during ’86,—amounting to more than halfa million dollars worth—the out- look certainly is flattering and encourag- ing. There are numerous smaller schemes which will swell the aggregate amount of work going on very materially. All in all, 1886 should mark a flew era in the mining industry of North Carolina, legitimate mining ar —— Death of of Mrs. Bryan. Mrs. Lucy Bryan, mother of Mr. John §S Bryan died at his home here on last Sunday morning. Her remains were taken to Ral- eigh for interment. The News and Observer in speaking of Mrs. Bryan, says: This lady died af Salisbury Sunday morn- ing. She was well knownirthiscity, She was in her 81st year. She was the daugh- ter of the late Sherwood Haywood, and was the oldest of that family. Mr. F. P. Hay- wood, Sr., Dr. R. B. Haywood and Miss Maria Haywood were her brothers and sis- ter. She married Mr. John S. Bryan, of Bertie county. He died many years ago. For the past few years she had lived at Salis- bury with her son, Mr. John. Bryan. Her remains were brought here yesterday, and were interred in the afternoon. The funer- al services were held at Christ church, Rev. Dr. Marshall officiating. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J. B.
