Murpuy, CHEROKEE COUNTY, June 11th, 1886. Editors Watchman:—Cherokee is now rather badly in the weeds as we have had over fifteen inches of rain since the 17th of May, and as a consequence, grass is good, and corn is growing fast but is not a good stand and is much in the weeds. The wheat crop is good and as yet not in- jured with rust. Will commence cutting next week. The wheat I brought from the Exposition at New Orleans Td two parts, as I expected it to prove to be a Spring wheat but it proves to be a win- ter variety and what I sowed last fall is fully two weeks later than many of our home varieties but so far the straw is per- fectly free from rust and looks well. What I sowed in the spring I think will be a failure. Oats are unusually fine and there is a fine stand of tobacco plants but we are needing sunny weather. Straw- berries have been very fine and the dif- ferent varieties of raspberries are just beginning to afford us the pleasure of en- joying them. The rheubarb, or pie-plant is very fine. I have measured some that were 30 inches across the leaf, 5 inches or a little over in circumference of leafstalk and weighing nearly I} pounds per trimmed stalk. English peas, Irish po- tatoes, beets and beans are now plentiful. ivided into Peaches are scarce this season but apples are promising to be a good crop. Grapes also look well. There is quite a build- ing boom in Murphy at this time, build- ing lots are in demand and all our build- ers are fully employed.

As long as the world has been going round and churches have been going round with it men have slept in them. So have boys and girls and old women. But if any man ever saw a young Wwo- man asleep in any church or substitute building he saw a wonder. I've had a long and varied experience with churches, under compulsion and from choice, and I never saw a woman asleep in one. Why, Oh, the reason is plain. There are too many social notes to be taken, too many incidents to be jotted down and too many bonnets to eve. A live woman, until she has at least passed the age of clothes and flir- tation—and I’ve known it to be strong at 60—never sleeps in church. But a man does. He cannot help it. The sonorous calence of the preacher's voice falling and rising on the peaceful air, which in summer is cooler and in win- ter warmer than any other air, would lull any one to sleep who hasn't deep least a quorum of them, met in earnest counsel for the good of the school.

It is perhaps best not to canvass things that are 1mcomplete and necessarily more or less contingent. —Cnarlotte Advance. Iundreds of ladies and occasionally a gentleman stopped to gaze at a blood-red flower which was on exhibi- tion yesterday in a State street show window. Exclamations of delight were heard in every side and some of the ladies fairly went into raptures over the strange blossom. It was blood-red at the base of the petals, but the color gradually grew lighter until at the tips it was g delicate blending of white and pink. The curious shading was what made it so beautiful.

Under the invigorating influence of a brief “resting spell” they dip deeply in- to the cavenous recesses of the fountain of wisdom. On the poiut of oxidised steel danzles the forlorn form of the unfortunate fly —typical of the fate of those scribblers whose ability rests on no broader foundation than the sub- limity of conceit. The press Associa- tion is a good thing, but, as the David- son Dispatch suggests, it needs to be pruned, a general lopping off of dead branches. But there are other things which do not impress the public favora- bly: one of these is the application of 80 unsuited, unmeaning and over fa- miliar sobriquet as “press gang,” or simply, “the gang.” It isso sugges- tive! The mind naturally associates things resembling in anthography or euphony. The nomenclature of “gang” as it appears in newspapers is something like this: the striped gang, chain gang, thieving gang, tramping, press gang; but you do not see Dental gang, Medi- eal gang, Legal gang, Ministerial gang. No, the press of the State is not want- ing in courtesy to any of the profess- ions, except it be their own. There is great need of reform in this particular. Gang is slang and slang is bad form. The press should not encourage such a tendency, but lend its influence and ex- ample to the restraining of this degen- erating inclination. This comment is not made in a fault-finding or criticis- ing spirit, but from an honest desire to have the attention of the members of the Association drawn to these little things, the tendency of which is not beneticial to the responsibility and dig- nity of the editorial profession. —~——>>—_—_— Car Builders Association. The annual convention of the Mas- ter Car Building Association, Was in session at Niagara Falls, June 8th, and had an excited discussion as to car couplers. For the last three or four years this subject has been one of much concern to railroad men, and numerous inventions have been made and patent- ed, to meet the requirements, which are, safety to the men employed to look after coupling, safety to trains in the use, and as nearly automatic in action as possible. At a previous meeting of the Association seven out of 42 coup- lers examined, were reeommended to more thorough test. At the late meet- ing the Association was still unable to! decide on one or more as worthy of general adoption, and recommended five as worthy of more thorough test. This, it is construed, leaves the whole question still open, so that it is not yet too late for ingenious people to think on and devise for a coupler. There is an immense fortune in store for the man who shall invent one worthy of general or universal adoption. ——»>-- Wool vs. Vegetable Fiber. Dr. Jaeger’s Sanitary Woolen Sys- tem is winning its way in England and Germany, where the manufacture of woolen fabrics and garments, subject to the scrupulous inspection of the Dr. is carried on. He proscribes every species of human clothing, from the skin ont, including bed clothing, not made of animal woot. Cotton, linen and ‘silk, must go. The idea is the maxtnun of protection from chill and damp, with the minimum of impedi- ment to the escape of the exhalations from the skin. The London Times says it has been adopted by some of “our most eminent sanitary reformers, while in Germany it has not only revolution- ized the trade of Stuttgart, where its founder practices, but the clothes are worn and highly appreciated by such men as Count Von Moltke, who may be expected to apply the principle in question to the German army.” —_—~r— ‘ Small Fruits. House-keepers and especially far- mers, lose the enjoyment of several valuable small fruits by neglecting to give a little attention to their cultiva- tion. Grapes should not be classed under this head, though it is probable that not more than one in twenty cul- tivate grapes. But strawberries, goose- berries, raspberries, currants, ete., should not be neglected. Of these there are several varieties, adapted to different soils and section, and when properly attended to, amply repay the labor and attention given them. A good, strong hedge of Cuthbert raspberries, for in- stance, will yield enough for an ordi- nary family every other day for a month. . Nothing will pay better, and in support of the statement we refer doubting Thomases to Dr. Dorsett, who can speak from personal knowledge. ee ge New Developments—It has trans- pired that a bull dog and a mud turtle are deadly weapons—if used with malice. a Davidson College Items.

D., thus formal- ly tenders its thanks for his liberal and valuable services in paving the portico of the College Building.” The paving, we learn, was done with Dunn’s Mountain granite, and presents a handsome appearance - underneath that magnificent portico, sustained by huge granite columns sixty feet in height. ee ee ome Dried Fruits. The season for drying fruits is com- ing on, and a word on the subject may not be lost. The time for careless or slovenly work in this department of industry has passed. The evaporators and canning establishments make a formidable competition to the old style of dried fruits. None but the best— the mostfancy—can stand before them. Driers must be careful in the selection of their fruit, and the work of pairing, coring, ete. must be nicely done, if in- tended for market; and the fruit should be made as fair and clean as psssible. Death of David Davis. This distinguished citizen of Illinois, died at his residence at Bloomington, at six o'clock, Saturday morning, June 26th. He was a member of the U.S. Supreme Court for a number of years, a U.S. Senator, and a man of integri- ty in all places of trial. The loss of such men isa public calamity. Only afew years ago he married his second wife, a Jady in this State, after having been for many years a widower. His funeral was attended by members of he U.S. Supreme Court, and of the t U.S. Senate. A great man has fallen. ro me The Tariff. Mr. Randall introduced his tariff bill in the House on the 28th, and it had the effect of inspiring a feeble hope that something may yet be done at this session towards an amendment of the tariff system, but what, is not just now apparent. The democrats are pledged to a revision and reduction of the tariff and many of them feel the weight and responsibility of that pledge, and will reluctantly return to their constitu- ents without it. ee Fire. The great Boston Exposition build- ing with all its contents were destroy- ed by an incendiary fire, last week. There were 100 men inside when the fire broke out, and they had a terrible struggle for hfe. At least eight of them perished in the flames, and a number of firemen wounded.

The day was Blair’s Folly. It ssems now that even Mr. Blair can see that there has been a change of sentiment in regard to his education- al hambugging scheme. His explana- tion of the opposition to the bill is laughable in the extreme. Those who are in sympathy with, and who think the masses in North Carolina are in favor of this meddling measure, have not caught the genius of Blur’s eccen- tricities, nor do they judge the masses aright. The question would undoubt- edly be lust if put to the popular vote in Rowan. This assertion is based on the testimony of the most intelligent and influential practical men in the county, given in conversation on this subject. The following from the Wil- mington Star will be good reading for all interested on this subject: The Star said some months ago with reference to the Blair bill that those who oppose it had nothing to tear from a thor- ough discussion of it. Superficial politi- cians and others backed up by interested school teachers might go of half-cocked and indorse a measure that was loaded to the muzzle with the most dangerous ex plo- sives, but the sober-sided, reflecting, in- formed meu of the country would not sustain any such impolitic, dangerous and unconstitutional measure when they had examined its intent and plan and under- stood its fur reaching consequences. It has turned out as was prophesied. There has been a steady growth of opposition to it from one end of the country to the other. Even Senator Blair himself admits that ‘tin the past few months thcre has been a marked change of the opinion” concerning his bill. This otd crank, however, gives the wrong reason, but it is one quite up to the standerd of Ais statesmanship (2). He says the change has been caused by ‘a press susidized by the Jesuits with the money of the Vatician.” This is the solution of a great change which this giant of New flampshire evolves from bis own capacious and noble mind The thirty-one Demo- cratic papers in North Carolina that have opposed the bill have been bought up by the Pope?) That is almost too funny for an argument and not funny enough fora joke. What shall be done with it. Old Blair charges a great chauge in public sentiment against appropriating, $79,000,900 to set up Federal school teaching in the States as brought about by the free use of Catholic money sent out from Rome.

All things considered, under the existing circumstances, the caption of this article has a wonderful significance, and is desery- ing of inore than a passing notice. A few days since we noted in the Patriot that at the last term of the Superior Court held at this place, two preachers—ministers of the Gospel—were up for trial—one a white man and the other colored—one for forni- cation and adultery and the other for seduc- tion. This tribunal of justice, so far above reproach, isin duty bound to condemn crime and at the same time vindicate innocence. Twelve honest'and conscientious men, sworn to deal out justice to every man, woman and child alike, sat in the jury box, heard the evidence and saw fit, in their wisdom and comprchensiveness, to render a verdict of guilty, thereby two ministers of the Gos- pel, E. H. Garland and M. E. Hammer, were declared crimina's. The sentence of the court was that Mr. Hammer pay a fine of $200 and 12 months in the countygjail, while the colored man ‘FE. H. Garland, be confined at herd labor in the State peniten- tiary, at Raleigh, for eighteen months. Now, in the name of all that is pure and holy, “wither we ure driftin: @ ~~ Ministers of the Gospel, men who should, by virtue of their calling, indulge in none other than exemplary habits, the purification of home circles and the salvation of souls; in fine, men who should mould public sympathy, honest convictions and reiiious sentiments; men who aie supposed to shape the destiny of mankind, scams to have forgot- ten the cause of their consceration and every rule of right: and are fast retrogra- ding to the lowest depths of degradation, determining— at least a portion of them— to defame the characters of the almost | helpless women of ‘this fair land of ours,’ by robbing them of their all—their virtue. On the heels of this comes the news from Winston that a certain minister of the Gos- pel in that town whose name we withhold for reasons best known to us, is guilty ofa similar outrage, and his guilt bas been established by lis resignation as pastor of his church. To-day four in this State alone, for crimes committed within the past year, stand with the finger of scorn pointed at them on all sides.

A large number of the friends of the school, and the public generally heard the recital of the above programme, and all unite in pronouncing it one of the best selected and most enjoyable lists ever offered the public here. Those who were not musical spoke of the execution of the little girls with enthusiastic praise, while all were charmed with the vocal selec- tions. Monday night found the parlors of the manse crowded again to their fullest capacity, and the piazza and hall-ways were also filled. The music pupils of Miss Linda Rumple, then rendered the following magnificent collection: Fiano duett—tiungarian Dance—Misses Alice and, Fannie Caldwell.

Vocal solo—Adelaide—Mrs. G. P, Erwin. Piano duett—Danse Des Bayaderes—Mlsses B. Knox and M. Woodson. With such profusion of good music, and allin such perfection, it would be ungenerous to particularize. The care- ful training of all performers and vocal- ists Was manifest in the exceeding deli- cate and Fartistic expression given the music, This became apparent at once, and the great crowd showed their appre- ciation by keeping the best of order during the performance. The concerts were of exceptional character and were greatly enjoyed by all. >< ae General Agent's Notes. ACCIDENT TO A Horse.—A_ valuable horse belonging to Mr. W. L.

K. BRUNER, EDITOR. The mining editor is absent this week, in company with several mining experts and mineralogists from the North. The party, accompanied by some Pennsylya- nia Capitalists, are reporting some on min- eral lands in one of the western counties of the State. It is reliably reported that about 24 tons of ore are reduced each day at the Gold Hill mines, and that one-half ounce of gold is saved from each ton. This would make the monthly output of the mines equal to $5,760. The tailings are saved, concentrated and will probably be worked by Mr.’ Jacobs, at the Yadkin Chlorination Works. These concentrates should return about the same amount— half oz. to the ton—as is taken from the ore in the first working. Only the free gold is saved by the barrel amalgating process, which leaves a valuable per- centage of gold in the sulphurets of the tailings. Mr. John Jacobs, Superintendent of the Yadkin Chlorination Works, keeps the works running at full capacity now. He is receiving ores from South Carolina, Georgia and from several mines in this State. Besides, this, he iskept busy with assay work, there beinga run on this branch of the establishment recently. Dr. M. A. J. Roseman is sinking a new shaft on one of his properties. The vein is two feet wide at the present depth of 14 feet. More will be said of this pro- perty later. A New Mineral in Montana. A new mineral has been discoved in a gold bearing ledge near Butte City, Mon- tana, which is described as carrying con- sidcrable gold in places, but the latter can not be separated from the strange min- eral by the ordinary process of working gold ores. The mineral when melted is white as silver, but much harder. It takes about the same beat to melt it that is required to melt silver, and weighs about the same, but it is hard as iron af- ter melting, while it is as soft as galena before being subjected to heat.—Chicago Times. PEA OY 5 TE EP RII LEDC ICEL EN LS Lee S. Overman for the Legislature. Mr. Editor :—It is now in order to begin the canvats of suitable persons for the Legislature. Mr. Overman has represented this county twice in the Legislature. That he was efficient, faith- ful and diligent in the discharge ot the duties incumbent ou him as a Legislator, no one will deny. It was mainly by his efforts that this county was carried al the last election by such a large majority. He made an able canvass, an able representative. Let us return him_ to the Leg- islature and if there is any special legislation the people of Rowan want. his experience, gen- eral popularity and skill will enable him to secure it. His high qualifications eminently fit him for the important duties of a representa- tive. He ought by all means to be returned. What say you Mr. Editor and the people? Democrat. ee Mr, Editor:—The time is now upon us when we should be looking around for a suitable person to represent us in the Stute Senate from this district. It is a matter of the highest im- portance that we select an efficient, experienced and practical man, @ man who knows the peo- ple, who understands their wants and who has the ability, the tact and the energy to carry into effect their wishes. Such a man is the Hon. F. KE. Shober. Ife has been tried in many public places and never found wanting. Such a man we need mn the State Senate at this time, and it is with pleasure that I call attention to his name in the hope that he may receive the nomination in the ensuing Convention. Rowan. —_—-— —--+gp>- - —_-—- - The President was too busy last week examining private pension bills to hold a Cabinet meeting. He sent in thirty vetoes and is still going on investigating other cases. It has been a long time since the country had a President more’watchful’ of the rights and interests of the people. oie eee A correspondent of the Lenoir Topic says: Our corn fields in Watauga look more like pastures than corn fields— grass and weeds have an equal chance dyring the rainy weather.

The Democratic Central Executive Com- mittee of this State have also issued an advisory circular for the same pur- pose, as will be seen in this paper. Sa a ae The President's vetoes of pension bills, and the pithy messages which ac- company them, are said to be a valua- ble contribution to current literature.

He got tired of it, however, last Friday, and went down the river on a fishing excursion, leaving his popular and pretty bride for a day. Whereupon the local bard gets off the following : _ O, Grover, dear Grover, come home to the House; Your going a-fishing strikes one As very exceedingly queer in a spouse Whose honey-moon’s scarely begun. When Franky had landed her two hundred pounder On the banks of the beautiful June, She couldn't have fancied the fellow would flounder Right back to the water so soon. (Chorus, in which several voices join): Come home! Come home!

But his swindle-machine jumps for Tom, Dick and Harry, To myriads his favors are shown, And he grumbles “ When Cleveland concluded to marry I hoped he’d let business alone!” (Chorus, in which the casual exclamations of chromo soldiers are faintly audible): Come home!

Mowry, that contains the following story: “One day, when I was in college, | heard a young lady say, “1 don't think much of college fellows.” “To my query as to the grounds of so singular an opinion, she replied: “They don't black the heels of their boots.” “When I protested that that charge could not be true of them all, she res- ponded: “Oh, no, I suppose not; but the ex- ception proves the rula. I have noticed that the most of then only black the front part of their boots; and they like reversible collars and cuffs. What does it indicate when the heels of boots are not blacked ? The boy is not thorough. He only does what he is forced todo. If he thought he would pass muster among people if he did not black his boots at all, they would never be blacked. Boys laugh at girls and say they pay too much attention to their clothes. How do the boys like to see their sis- ters with soiled collars, buttons off their boots, a rufte hanging on their dress? It is the evidence of a true gentleman or a true lady when the clothing worn is in order and suitable for the oc- casion. Dress and the way it is worn is an indication of character. If the heels of the boots are blacked, you may be pretty sure that the boy or man is rues in whatever he undertakes. He learns his lessons, not because he must, but because he desires tolearn. When he is sent to clean up the garden, he rakes the dead roots and vines in a pile for burning; there are no stray piles hidden in the bushes near the fence. He blacks the heels of his boots. and cuffs will be willing to do a mean act if he thinks he will not be found your collar is clean by reversing it. ——_—_—_-->—__ ——_ Luck and Labor. turn up. will, will turn up something. of a legacy. “this is a terrible deal you are giving butter, don’t it?

To feel absolutely protected against Fever and Agne, Malarial fever, Typhoid fever, Typhus fever, Gastric fever, Bilious fever, Diphtheria, Pneumonia, Scarlatina, Summer Complaint, Blood Poisoning, and all and every form of com mon disease ? st Is it worth anything to be able to effectually cleanse the blood in your entire system, torenew your youth, and invigorate all the organs of your body; to permanently cure Costiveness, Dyspep- sia, Water-brash, and sour stomach? To cure Jaundice and stoppage of Gall ducts, to cure Sick-headache and Biliousness, to cure Liver complaint and Cancerous liver, to cure Kidney diseases of long standing? To be free from Gout, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and kindred troubles ? Is it worth anything to enjoy good health, to have a good appetite, and to sleep well? If all these things are worth anything, you can secure them almost for the asking. We know from long experience that this statement is true, but we also know that few will accept itas truth. Noth- ire actual experience in the use of Parsons’ could bring a person to realize full their marvellous power to prevent and cure disease. Are not you willing to take our word, to run the risk of being swindled, so to speak, out of 25 eonts, for the possibility of securing such a gree Dlessing as we know Parsons’ Pills would to you? If you should once become acquainted with these Pills, you would never cease to be grateful. Parsons’ Pills were a wonderful discovery, and there are none others like them in the world. The information contained in the wrapper around each box is worth many times the cost of a box of the Pills. We use the purest drugs to be found in the known world; buteven these, be- fore being used, are subjected to the uliar urifying process known only to the chemist’s art. f families and individuals could only be made to realize the marvellous power of Parsons’ Pills in the prevention and cure of disease, and in promoting the general health, a vast amount of suffering and expense might be prevented. Our business was established in 1810, and is the oldest of the kind in this country. Is it, there- fore, likely that we woukd put forth an untruth- ful or deceptive statement? Frauds and false pretenders do not remain Jong in business in this country. We suppose that arsons’ Pills may de found at your nearest store; but if not, we will send one box by mail, post-paid, for 25 cents in stamps.

A lessen went in; but, ah me! ah me! For a boy with a hole in his memory! When he rose to recite he was all in doubt ; Every word of that lesson had fallen out. And at last, at last—oh, terrible lot!

Washington Correspondence Philadel- phia Press. 1 was informed to-night by reliable authority that the President emphat- ically told some Southern and New Wore Democratic politicians Saturda that he was going to change his tactics. “You think,” said he, “I am not re- moving Republicans quick enough do you? Well, wait, and you will see. If I don’t turn out Republicans quick enough for you during the next six months let me know.” These gentle men came away from the White House almost hirlarious. Their Democratic bosoms heaved with expectant joy, and later in the day they gave away a good deal more of their conversation with the Chief Magistrate and of his with them than Mr. Cleveland suspects. There was a happy party of Democrats in Washington that night, and many a bottle of champagne was opened and many a toast was drunk to Cleveland and his bride. The account of the little episode came to me direct, and more of the particulars could be given. It is significant in many particulars. a ++ ae The Man of the 12th of May. From the Atlanta Constitution. A correspondent asks us to give the exaet fact of the occurrence of the 12th of May, and asked if General Lee ever indorsed the account of that heroic action. Our correspondent states that the Bacon men in his neighborhood say that General Lee denied that any such thing ever took place. | We pre- sent the full history of the occurrence as taken from the cry of Gen. Lee by Rev. J. Wm. Jones, D. De On the 12th of May, 1864, the Con- federate lines were broken near Spotts- ylvania Courthouse; the Federal troops poured into the opening, and a terrible disaster seemed imminent. As Early’s old division, now commanded by Gen. John B. Gordon, was being rapidly formed to recapture the works, Gen. Lee rode to the front and took his position just in. advance of the colors of the Forty-ninth Virginia regiment. He uttered not a word—he was not the man for theatrical display—but as he quietly took off his hat, and sat his war-horse the very personification of the genius of battle, it. was evident to all that he meant to lead the charge, and a murmur of disapprobation ran down the line. Just then the gallant Gordon spurred to his side, seized the reins of histhorse, and exclaimed with deep anxiety: “Gen. Lee, this is no place for you. Do go to the rear. ‘These are Virginians and Georgians, sir—men who have never failed, and and they will not fail now—Will you boys? Is it necessary for Gen. Lee to lead thjs charge?” Lond cries of “No! no! Gen Lee to the rear!’ “Gen. Lee to the rear!” “We always try todo what Gen. Gordon tells us, and we will drive them back if Gen. Lee will go to the rear!” burst from the ranks. While two soldiers led Gen. Lee's horse to the rear, Gordon put himself in front of his division, and his clear voice rang out above the roar of the battle: “Forward! charge! and_re- member your promise to Gen. Lee!” Not Nupoleon’s magic words to his Old Guard, ‘The eyes of your empe- ror are upon you!” produced a happier effect; and these brave fellows swept grandly forward, drove back five times their own numbers, retook the works and converted a threatened disaster in- to a briliant victory. ee How Actresses Kiss. A CONTRAST OF TWO JULIETS. New York Sun. The last time that the beautiful Ade- laide Neilson played Juliet in New York she had bade Romeo a lingering farwell and was turning away from the baleony, when a sudden whim seemed to seize her, and, wheeling about swift- ly, she caught his face in both hands und, leaning forward, gazed into his eyes. The house was still as death. The audience, already seriously wrought upon and parched, arid and uncouth. leaned forward nervously. Two thoa- sand eyes were riveted upon the ac- tress. There was a long wait; then . z . she slowly pressed her lips to Jtomeo’s and seemed lost to everything around her. The people sat like stones. A programme floated down from above publican party—-they each other. leaning on the strong arm of the Re- are sustaining|she did not raise her hand to remove and fell athwart a woman's bonnet and SALISBURY, N. C., her head slowly and glided away, look- ing back over her shoulder as,she dis- appeared with an expression that no man who saw it will ever forget. There was along silence and then the play went on. But noone paid the slight- est attention to it. One by one.the people relaxed their strained and intent attitudes and leaned: back in their chairs. There was no rustle or noise. The woman did not notice the pro- gramme on her bonnet until the cur- tain fell. Miss Anderson played Juliet there when she returned from London re- cently, and in the forth act she kissed Romeo. As she approached the event the bald-headed man in the orchestra who habitually dwadles with the base viol rose from his seat and looked over the footlights. Lverybedy knew the kiss was coming, and the actress lean- ed forward frigidly and resolutely placed her face in the immediate prox- imity of Homeo’s, the house was all at- tention. She leaned back in. The deed had been done. The bald-headed man in the orchestra sank back in his chair, shivered a bit and turned up his collar. The lights flickered. An usher sneezed and, tiptoeing softly to the door, he put his hand across the crack to see if he could find out where the chilling draft came from. Then a howling swell rose from his seat, blew open his fingers, pulled on a fur over- coat, went out into Thirteenth street and wished audibly that he was dead. Fish Traps. When Mr. Cox of North Carolina introduced a proposition in the com- mittee on rivers and harbors to abolish fish traps in the Yadkin river, it caused some speculation. Noone could im- agine what was the reason for the pro- position, and the mystery was deepen- ed by the fact that Mr. Cox appeared to make it a personal matter between himself and the fish traps. Again, no- body could see what business he had with the fish tramps in the Yadkin riyer, anyway, as that stream is not in his district, but in that of his colleague, Mr. Cowles, with whom he seemed to be on the most friendly terms. The matter has finally been explain- ed, says a correspondent of the Cincin- nati Commercial-Gazette, and it is shown that Mr. Cox was really acting in the interest of his colleague, and en- deavoring to aid in his re-election. “It appears that at the time of a re- cent “fresh” in the Yadkin, a United States letter carrier was trying to ford the stream with the mail. His horse was in danger of being swept away, and he was borne down by a Huge bag containing the speeches of Mr. Cowles, which that gentleman was sending out to his tar-heel constituents. To save himself he cut open the bag and dump- ed out the larger part of its contents. The carrier, as soon as the act was known, was arrested and putin jail, and the case reported to tite govern- ment authorities. Mr. Cox, when the matter was canvassed, reported that when the people living along down the river below the ford where the carrier crossed, went the next day to examine their fish traps, they found them fall of Mr. Cowle’s speeches and other con- gres inal eloquence, statistics, sceds, ete., and were greatly surprised and not thoroughly pleased at the nature of their catch. Mr. Cox, then pro- posed to abolish these fish traps on the ground that they interfered with the free circulation of current literature and congressional eloquence. He thought the man who threw the matter into the river was doing only his duty, and that the fish traps were the real offen- ders. He pressed his point but finally had to compromise on the release of the mail carrier. As long as the fish traps remain, Mr. Cowles will continue to circulate his speeches by muleback and buckbourd as heretofore.— Boston Herald. ee Haunted to Death. About three months ago a woman named Eva Hebron died at Bound Brook, N. J. Just previous to her death she obtained a promise from her husband that he would never marry again. He soon forgot his promise, and his wife had been in her grave scarcely six weeks when he sought to soothe his sorrows by wedding Mary Chandler, a buxom widow of some 40 years. She was a Roman Catholie and Hebron immediately renounced his con- nection with the Meincdiat Church and embraced Catholicism. Shortly after his second marriage, acquaintances be- gan to notice that he acted queerly. He seemed ill at ease, and had the ap- yeurance of a man haunted with some secret trouble. He said himself that he was troubled with insomnia. One night he arose from a troubled sleep to watch the burning of the Episcopal church in this place, which was on fire. Suddenly, while watching the flames be started back with an excla- mation of horror, and in spite of all his wife could do to arouse him be ap- peared as though held by some strange fascination. Then he shrank back, placed his hands before his eyes as though to shut out some horrible vision all the while trembling in_ every limb. He called upon his wife to see the spirit of his dead wife, which had come to haunt him, and remind him of the broken promise he made her on her JULY 8, 1886. who jeered and jibed at him. He then fell to the floer in a dead faint. . From that time Hebron believed he was a doomed man. His dreams were hid- eous, and his wakeful moments fright- ful. Qne morning he came to some of his friends with a countenance more ghastly that ever, and told them of a ream he had had during the night. He said he thought the skeleton of his first wife lay beside him, and when in terror he sprang from the bed, the specter followed him. At length it pinioned him to the wall with one of its long, ghastly fingers, and he felt his life blood ooze from his pierced heart and drip to the floor. Then, he said, the specter licked up his flowing blood, screaming: “So I stop the vitali- ty of my false husband!” ‘ This story convinced Hebron’s friends that he was insane, and they were tak- ing steps to place him in the asy- lum when one morning of last week he was found dead in his bed. He had died from fright. A Little Patti Gossip. New York Star. From Swansea, Wales, comes the news that Mme. Adelini Patti was married there to Signor Nicolini on the Vth inst. This is the third time that Patti has married Nicolini. She was divourced from the Marquis de Caux about eight years ago, and in 1878 she married Nicolini in a Greek church in Russia. She was married to Nicolini again in Paris about four years ago. On Nov. 8, 1884, Patti’s divource from her husband, the Marquis de Caux, was made absolute by the new French law, and last Wednesday the diva for the first time became Nicolini’s lawful wife. The Marquis de Caux made no objec- tion to these proceedings, as he 1s a man of large fortune and always has been. Nicolini was divorced from his wife in 1882 after he had married Patti ma Greek church. His five children are kept by his wife, who receives pay out of Mme. Putti’s treasury. When Patti was over here last year her fond- ness for Nicolini was more marked than ever, and she seemed anxious that he should inherit her property. She owns an estate in the South of France valued at $400,000 which. she feared might become a matter of litigation at her death. Nicolini has therefore fallen into an extremely soft thing. He is as faithful as a watch dog with Patti, guards her as he would a child, cooks most of the dishes of which she is particularly fond and has cracked his voice in singing the praises of the woman he adores. Patti is married again. the wedding hymn: “Lliaffwer wynwes hen gwontawe A cherddorol dan, A chyd floeddiwn croesaw idds Fanon hoff y gan.” Literally translated, this beautiful anthem signifies: “Patti cake, Patti cake, ‘Marry me again ; I tuke the cake at marrying, Take mes 1 pray—amen!’ This was A Cave Found. Correspondence of the Asheville Citizen. Messrs Editors :—Persons having formerly visited the Warm Springs will no doubt remember the mound in front of the old hotel on which stood the pavalion or music stand. Yester- bay men were put at work to remove this mound in order to level off the lawn in front of the new hotel, which obstructed the view towards the rail- road depot, and in the excavation of the lime stone rock was discovered the mouth of quite an extensive cave, from [which vapor arises, supposed to come from the Mae water at the bottom of it. This cave may provea very im- portant discovery, both on account of the interest as a curiosity, and also for its usefulness, as the vapor arising from the hot water may be utilized for vapor baths. The workmen are now engag- ed in the exploration of the cave, and its extent will soon be ascertained. J. M. Trernan. a Dictation vs. Liberty. In these days, when the old-fashion- ed doctrine of personal liberty seems to be undergoing revision by the very class that it might be thought would cherish it most—the working classes— it may not be amiss to ask whether the principle and restraint might not be ex- tended beneficially, in directions hith- erto uncontemplated. Suppose, for in- stance, leagues should be formed requiring working men to give account of how they expend their earnings, and even to dictate, in a measure, the proportion that should be devoted to certain objects, would not this invasion of the privilege of the individual be at least as conducive to his welfare, and to the welfare of society, as the dicta- tion of the terms on which they shall work and the listing of tradespeople with whom he shall not deal. Most persons would probably prefer the maintenance of the sort of liberty con- templated in the Declaration of | Inde- pendence; still if another principle is to be substituted it may as well be in- terpreted beneficially as injuriously.— The South. eS Gibbs—So the man was killed at the hotel, was he?

That's a terrible place to The Expulsion of the Princes, Paris, June 23 —Prince Victor and in- cluding the most psominent adherents, including the Marquis of Valette and Baton Haussmann, started to-day for Brussels, The train bearing the party left the station amid cries of “Vive ?Empereur,” “Au re- voir,” and shouts fer“ Vive la Republique.” There was some hissing. Several persons were arrested. Prince Napoleon (Plon- Plon) is gomg to Getieva. The Count. and Countess of Paris and their~ son, Prince T.ouis Phillippe, after receiving their friends tomorrow, will em- bark at Treport in the afternoon. ‘They will arrive at Tanbridge Wells, England, on Friday, and will take up their residence there. The Count will isste a manifesto, protesting against his expulsion and out- lining the monarchieal programme. One thousand persons called at the Chateau d' En today and inscribed their names ina book. The Compte de Paris shook hands with each one and briefly ex- pressed his thanks. Most of the royalist senators, and deputies intend to witness the the Count de Paris frm Count Foucher de Carcil, ambassador to the Austrian court, has resigned in protest against the action of his government in expelling the French princes. It is believed that M. Waddington, French ambassador to the court of St. James, will resign inconse- quence of the expulsion of the princes. His resignation is momentarily expected. The Royalist press pronounce the pas- sage of the expulsion bill the forerynner of the downfall of the republic. The moder- ate republican papers generally criticize the measure as unjust, The opportunist journ- als urge the government to discard the demand of the irreconcilables and radicals, and they demand a firmer republican pol- icy. France. er Near the Red Sulphur Springs on Friday a young lady and gentleman eloped from the lady’s parents for the purpose of get- ting married. The flying pair were in a buggy and made yood time uatil Indian creek was reached. The creck was very high, but an attempt was made to ford it. When midway of the stream the vehicle was washed over and the occupants thrown in thewater. They lodged against a broken tree inthe middle of the creek. The young man cauyht the young lady as the rushing waters were carrying her down and held her. Fortunately just at the root of this tree there was sufficient foothold for the young man to stand, so that the water only came up to his armpits, but on cither side of him it was too decp and the current too strong for him to venture to reach the shore. He held the young lady in his arms for two hours before they were discovered, The position was made more unpleasant by the hot sun pouring its rays upon them — For- tunately when the buggy was overturned an umbralla was thrown in reach of the young man, and he managed to open it and hold it over the lady. Novel as was the catastrophe, the rescue was even more novel. A young man, although the risk was great, swam a strong horse to the place and the imperrilled lady aud gentleman hung on tothe animal's tail and were brought back safely.— Virginia Paper. ee An old Scotch lady was told that her minister used notes.

But the Heart-Throbs Of True Manhood. : — Re Sparta, Ga., Sept. 22 1885.— 7o the Con- stitution, Atlanta—Were I to practice dec tion in a case like this, I would think that my heart had become searcd beyond recog- nition. To be guilty of bearing false testimony, thereby imperilling the lives of my fellow- men, would place me beneath the dignity of a gentleman. The facts which I disclose are endersed and voucbed for by the community in which I live, and I trust they may exert the inftu- ence intended. For twenty long yearsI have suffered untold -tortures from a terrible in and weakness in.the small of my which i alt modes and manner of treat- ment. an eating cancer of my lower lip hasadded to my misery and suffering. This encroach- ing, burning and painful sore on my lip was ronounced Epithelial Cancer by the prom- Inent physicians in the section, which stnbbornly resisted the best medical talent, About eighteen months ago a cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, which could not beallayed by the ordinary modes of treatment. _ These sufferings of misery and_prostra- tion became so great that, on the 18th of July, a leading physician said that I could not live longer than four days, and I had about given up in dispair. The burning and excruciating ravages of the cancer, the painful condition of my back and breast, and the rapid prostration of my whole system combined to make me a mere wreck of former manhood. While thus seemingly suspended on a thread between life and death, I commenced the use of B.B.B., the grandest blood med- icine, to me and my household, ever used. The effect was wonderful—it was magic- al. The excruciating pains which had tormented me by day and by night for twenty years were soon held in obeyance, and peace and comfort were restored to a suffering man, the cancer commenced heal- ing, strength was imparted to my feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been used I was of the happiest of man, and felt about as well as I ever did. All pain had vanished, the cancer on my lip healed, and I was pronounced cured. To those who are afflicted, and need a blood remedy, I urge the use of B.B.B. as a wonderfully effective, speedy and cheap blood purifier. ALLEN GRANT. SparTA, Ga., September 22, 1885.—I saw Mr. Allen Grant, when he was suffering with epithelial cancer of under lip, and after using the B.B.B. medicine, as stated above, I find him now almost, if not per- fectly cured.

After writing an article reviewing the ground taken by the Davidson Dispatch touching the distribution of the offices in this district, and holding up Rowan’s end of the beam, it was consigned to the waste basket, because we could see no possible good in such a discussion.

Clod Knocker's Dust. JULY Sth 1886. Mr. Editor:—The last issue of the Watch- man indicates the approach of the politi- cal battle. The music of the Democratic reville is heard summoning the host to muster. The Old Guard, (bravo for the old vete- rans) have wheeled into line with flying colors, ready to do battle once more in a great cause—‘‘An Old Guard dies but never surrenders.”’ The Court-house is safe. The old boys have been faithfully and long tried, and there is no mistake as to their being perfectly true to them- selves and competent to take care of No. 1. But how about the Legislature? There seems to bea little confusion along this part of theline. Why, Mr, Editor, some of the old farmers of Steele are growling furiously about the primary meetings coming soearly inthe season. It will strike just at atime when it will be al- most impossible for the workingman to leave his farm. The excessive wet has thrown us a month behind. What is the use of hurrying up matters? There is plenty of time between July and Novem- ber to do up matters and give the farm- ers a fair chance, and thereby prevent dissatisfaction.

In this barn, he had a large quantity stripped, handed and stored; most of it being of superior grade. On the evening of the 3d, after a great deal of rain, he‘discovered that it was two high in case, and built fires in the barn. There was good deal of loose tobacco lying around, besidesa large lot of tobacco sticks, and the heat being very high, every thing was as dry as tinder. About sundown it caught fire, and in a few mo- ments, the house and contents, were a heap of ashes. This is the second serious fire Mr. Hall has had within three years. He got-pretty badly burned in endeavor- ing to-save his barn. He has the sympa- thy of all his neighbors. It is a serious loss. We don’t suppose less than ¢300 would re-imburse him. On the 2d instant, W. R. Fraley, Esq., discovered a Very large snake on his lower fish dam. He went back te the house and got his Mississippi Rifle, and on returning, found the reptile lying under water, with only his head exposed. Aim- ing at that, he tired. His snakeship sank and could not be found, but on the morn- ing of the 4th, he was discovered floating in the form of a hoop, and on being taken out, he proved to bea stump tailed nocca- sin, and measured rather more than four feet long, and nine inches in circumfer- ence. ‘This ‘species is said to be very poisonous. Now that the county and township conventions have been appointed the selection of suitable candidates for the legislature is the order of the day. One section wants a Mr. Sifford, another thinks J. K. Grahain is the coming man, whilst still another names Jas. Mckenzie, as eminently qualified, ete. Several years ago, quite a craze got possession of the people’s mind: that we must quit sending lawyers to the legis- lature—that none but furmers ought to be sent! This feeling originated in the Grange, and came very near disrupting the democratic party. Kerr Craige, than whom there are few abler or better men, had been our member, but this.craze for farmers, having gotten so deep a hold on the minds of the people, Mr. Craige was utterly ignored, much to the detri- ment of the party, as the sequal showed. The legislature is at best, a necessary evil. Only a few years ago a Commission was appointed to re-codity the laws. The work occupied three men nearly two years at $1500 each, per year. They got out a splendid Code, at a cost of probably $50,000. This was all right if they had stopped there, but the very next session passed new laws, and amended others to an extent, that when printed, it made a book of 1,176 pages, whilst the new Code was published in two volumes, contain- ing in the aggregate, only 1,680 pages. The truth is, our laws are becoming too voluminous, bui still, according to the Constitution, somebody must be sent to the legislature every two years. This bemg the case, let us by all ineans, send members who will understand their busi- ness. There is not one farmer out of every hundred, who is capable of being an efficient member. They could neither draw up ez bill, nor vote on it understand- ingly after it is drawn. It is out of their line. They have betterand more congenial employinent at home on their farms. I say this with no intention of disparage- ment to the farmer, as a class, because I am afarmer myself and have been one all my life. Hence I love the farmer and appreciate him, but in the legislature, he is out of his element, like a fish out of water. Besides, if we expect to keep up our party organization, it behooves us to place in nomination, men who can make a strong, energetic, telling canvass, in short, one that can carry the entire strength of the party, and in casting my minds eye around, I can discover not more than one or two such amongst our farmers. But we have one man who is eminently able to make atelling canvass. He did it four years ago, and again, two years ago. Heis fully able to do it again. He is a brilliant speaker, an able canvass- er, and aman in whom the people have the utmost confidence. The man we allude to is our former abje representa- tive, Lee S. Overman, Esq. If he will agree to serve us again, let us return him by all means. We are sorry we haye nothing better to offer him, as he deserves a much higher position. As for Solicitor for this district, John W. Mauney, Esq., is our choice. Weare personally, well acquainted with him. We have known him for many years. Our relations with him have been such as to chable us to judge of his qualifica- tions. Heis aian of fine legal attain- ments, has had considerable pratice in criminal law, and is an indefatigable worker. We trust he may be the choice of the district. - Let all the conventions, both county and township, be well attended. Let us work in harmony. Let usselect able and suitable standard bearers, and let us then go to work and roll up the biggest Demo- cratic majority ever heard of in Rowan. So much rain has fallen since wheat was harvested, that very little of it has yet been hauled in, and it is now sprout- ing in the shock, and if such weather con- tinues much longer, what little was made will be ruined. Oats is now ripe and most of it lying flat on the ground, so that little more than half of it can be saved, and even that will rot, unless the weather changes soon. Tue MAN ABOUT THE COUNTRY. July 5th, 1886, sere For the Watchman. Davie's Direful Day. MocksvILLE, June 5th, Rowan’s youngest, fairest and most beautiful daughter is very ill, and some of her children are indulging in sacrilege. Others are groaning and grumbling, whilst a few others, who are on the rag- ged edge are taking a more philosophic and hopeful view of her almost utter prostration. For two Jong months has it rained upon this hitherto healthy and prosperous child. She is well nigh drownd to death. Many of the pcople are not done planting corn, and that that has been planted is almost entirely ruined by the deluging rairts and high waters. The wheat has sprouted in the shock, and the oat crop isin a collapse state, whilst the weeds and grass are singing gzeans to to the clouds and flourish amazingly. Some people are suffering terribly with flux and dysentery, and the children cough, The women say the bed-bugs hayerisen and defy all etforts at massaccre- tion. They goand they come sighing and mouthing for sun-shine so as to abate the sickening orders inside and outside their houses, but like the men, never pray for it. ‘The young chicks are dying with a new disease—the flux—and the hens with the cholera.

Why, they made an attack on a neighbor’s tobacco crop last week.

The application of James Lewis for retail liscense, at Third Creek was refused for the reason that the board ef commis- sioners of that town revoked the order granting such liscense there and request- ed the county board to refuse it. Liscense was granted R. B. Wright to the Wilkesboro road. Also to J. P.

The ald, has a taking look at the first blush, but upon being carefully. dissected, seems to the writer, to be manifestly impracticable. The supposed proposition, which istherein so earn- estly combatted, to force water from town creek by means of an engine and pump into cisterns up town, has hardly ever been seriously enter- tained by any thinking person; and upon in- quiry it is learned that it has never been sub- mitted to, or considered, by the city-fathers.— The J/erald estimates the cost of this supposed system at $5.450, and propos@ instead, 1 plan of supplying the entire town with water for fire and domestic purposes, from a well, at which is to be erected a wind-will, and over which is to be erected a tank of the capacity of four thousand, or five thousand gallons! The whole being estimated to cost $1,600 or $1,800! This seems to be a very economical plan, and if it were at all feasible it ought to be adopted at once; but unfortunately its utterly imprac- ticability is easily demonstrable; in fact it is self-evident upon the most cursory considera- tidn. One objection which suggests itself as a fatal one, is, to the well, which is proposed as the basis of the system. It strikes the writer that no well could be dug, at least not for any rea- sonable sum, which could be depended on to supply water in anything like the needed quan- tity. The city-fathers have had some experi- ence with big wells, in fact they have one on band now which has never been regarded as a very eminent sdccess by-the citizens generally, and which upon condition of prompt removal, would doubtless be disposed of at a very nom- inal price. Then the Wind-Miti, while it might keep a tank of four or five thousand gallons capacity filled, would be a very uncertain means of rais- ing the many thousands of gallons of water which would be required daily. i But the proposition is crowned with a sug- gestion of a tank of four thousand cr pre thou- sand gallons capacity! Why, the tank of the R. & D. R. R. holds about forty thousand gal- lons—eight to ten times the capacity of that proposed, and the writer hardly supposes, that any one would maintain fora moment that even such a tank as that would be at all adequate for the needs of a whole town. The tank in Mr. 5. H. Wiley’s private residence, holds be- tween two and three thousand gallons, and is none too large for a single private residence. In fact, as the Mera/d will see, the system proposed by it, is Just about the thing for sup- plying a single tamily, or possibly a small neighborhood, with water, but totally inade- quate for the purposes suggested. With such a system, and with such a tank, there could _be no thought of dispensing with fire-enyines. ” As to the cost, the Herald makes an estimate, which in the writer's opinion, would fall very far short of what would likeNy be the real cost, even of the system proposed. In the first place, as a sad experience has demonstrated, the cost of a well, and particularly of an extensive one, is one of the most uncertain tbiugs in the world, and one of the most difficult of estima- tion; and where hundreds are estimated, thou- sands are often spent before the well is com- pleted. Then the cost,Jn addition to well, wind mill, tower, tank, &c. of street mains apd hy- drants alone, would probably exceed the Herald's entire estimate. Salisbury necds and eught to have au adequate water supply, aud the writer is glad to see the subject agitated. and trusts that.the agitation may result in the evolution of some really fea- sible and economical plan.

Frank Gaston, convicted of an assault on a poor woman, an inmate of the County Poor House, whom he happened to meet inthe woods, a short distance from her place, was duly executed in the front of the jail, last Friday about noon, in accordance with the sentence of May Term of the Superior Court. There were several hundred persons present, white and black, and the spectators were quiet and orderly. Harry Cowan, a colored minister of the Baptist church, attended the prisoner at the gallows, and conduc- ted the religious services, which consisted of ashort and appropriate address, the singing of a hymn and prayer, The pris- oner addressed a few words to the colered people around him, warning them against bad conduct &¢., and then shook hands with the preacher and others standing near. The black cap was slipped over his head, and then the sheriff sprung the trap and the prisoner’s body swung in the air. His pulse ceased to beat at 14 min- utes. At 20 minutes Dr. Isaac W. Jones pronounced him dead, and his body was cut down and laid in the coffin prepared for it. - Km a A Narrow Escape. Rey. John F. Hodge, of eastern Rowan, in returning from Salisbury to his home last Saturday evening about six o’clock, attempted to ford abranch at Tobias Kestler’s which is only a few inches in depth generally, but he was swept off by the strong current of the water into a ditch below, where the water was six or seven feet deep. He was thrown from the buggy in which he was riding, the buggy and mare lodging against the foot log, but he himself whirled off below. His struggle to recover standing ground was fearful in the extreme, and he was at last saved by grasping a twig or weed under the water, by means of which he raised himself and succeeded in getting out of the ditch. On looking for his mare, only her nose was visible; but he succeeded in getting hold of the bridle and attempted toto draw her head a- round and relieve her, when she made a desperate plung and jerked the reign out of his hand and went out of sight and drowned in a moment. Mr. Hodge is devoutly thankful for his personal ascape from a most unsuspected danger, and speaks of it asa warning which should be profitable to others, also; for it shows that the summons nay come at a time when least expected. rr ee ee Bridges Swept Away. Everybody knew we were having a powerful rain last Thursday. It com- meneed a little after dark Wednesday evening and came down slowly all through the night. At day light, Thursday morn- ing, it came faster, and eontinued to in- | crease in yoluine, through the entire day. Great streams of water washed through the gutters; and judging from the solid, unwasting character of the clouds, it was general, extending far and wide. ‘The water courses throughout the county were flooded, and, itis said, in some eases rose higher than the flood in May, which swept away or wrecked, a number of public bridges of the county. The disaster to bridges was repeated on Thursday. We have heard of five which were either swept away or displaced and wrecked, to wit: ; The Lyerly bridge, on the South Fork n the grass.

The Marion Bullion Company own are conducting large mining operations. The officers of the Company. are Hon. Thos. J. Edge, president; Col. H.C. Dem- ming, Secty and general manager; Wm. Machlin, treasurer and Tnos. H. Rice, superintendent at the mines. The offices of the company are at Harrisburg, Pa., where the Secretary and general mana- ger resides. The mining editor of this paper v@ited the property last week in company with Col. Demming and Prof. J. W. Beath of Philadelphid, and found the operations and region full of interest. Some detail may prove interesting to the readers of this department. The company own in fee simple, 700 acres, the mineral and water right of 800 acres adjoining and the water right of 2000 acres, also adjoining. The property lies 15 miles southeast from Marion, the county seat of McDowell, and on the waters of Muddy creek and its tributaries. It lies next to the Vein Mountain mines, and is near the Huntersville placer mines- These three mines about cover the ‘‘Mc- Dowell belt,’ or what is locally called the ‘“Brackettown district.” The whole region has been worked with more or less activity since its DISCOVERY IN 1829. It was worked with much vigor up to 1849 when most of the mines in the east were abandoned, the miners joining in the general rush across the continent to the new gold fields of the west. Since this last date, the Marion Bullion Co’s. property has been worked considerably, (both in an organized way and by. indi- dividuals who took the liberty—in the ab- sence of any to say them nay,) but it was left for the enterprise and energy of the present company to place the mines on the list of dividend paying properties. They have between 28 and 30 miles of ditch lines, flumes and sluices. The water is caught on the sides of the South mountains and conveyed to reservoirs from which it is distributed in pipes to the hose lines. They use 1} and 2 inch nozzles, and move from 300 to 600 cubic yards of dirt per day, according to the character of the ground. At present they are operating in two valleys some half mile apart. The grit bedsin each of these deposits are about 50 yards in width and lie from 8 to 20 feet from the surface. To remoye this soil and wash the grit, from 18 TO 20 MILLION GALLONS of water is used each day, The main placer deposit isin the valley and bed of Muddy creek and is about 150 yards wide andsome four miles in length. The hydraulic work spoken of above is being conducted in the valleys at right angles with the main deposit on Muddy creek. Of this latter, Prof. Brandley, an experienced mining expert, who made a careful study of the ground, estimates that two miles of Muddy creek valley contains $60,000,000. This estimate does not include the branch hollows tributary to Muddy creek, on which the present work is being condneted. ‘The resources of the place seem inexhaustible. Supt. Rice, who is a practical man, has worked out a scheme for automatic sluicing which will prove of great valuc to the company, should it be put in operation. The plan involves the cutting of a tunnel 4000 feet in length, through which the water is to flow. This will give them a fall of 800 feet in Second Broad river val- ly, or in case it is needed, the-water may be turned back around the meuntain side into Muddy creek valley with a fall of 120 feet. The scheme is practical and it is quite probable that the company will adopt it. THESE WASHINGS PAY an average of ten cents per cubie yard. The lowest yield so far has been 3 cents per cubic yard and the best’ has reached one dollar. The company have paid this year one dividend of 8 per cent. (on 3 months work) and they expect to pay two more by the last of the year. This will place the annual dividends at from 9 to 12 per cent, on the hydraulic work alone, which may be considered a good investment. But this is not all. The company haye purchased a ten stamp mill, which will go into position this month. This has become necessary be- cause of the auriferous quartz which ac- cumulates from the washings. The grit beds have large deposits of this kind, being the float from the ore bodies as they were broken down above. Itis estimated that there are now exposed, in heaps, on the property more than 20,000 TONS OF GOLD QUARTZ, This is being added to by each days washings, A great deal of this quartz, which is granular or saccharoidal in structure, shows free gold, while all of it pans well. Assays have been made, but are too extravagant for publication— not because the results are doubted, but because it is not wise todo so. In addi- tion to the quart above described, there 25 or 30 veins of auriferous the property. These are not large, but are sufficiently rich to justify extraction. The output of the property after the erection of the stamp mill will be greatly increased. There are still other sources of wealth to be found at this place. There are three large beds of emery, all.of which have been cut and material exposed. It hare some quartz on superior quality. It will require machir- ery to. prepare this for the market, and the company contemphte putting it in in the near future. Exploitation for mica the property. A tunnel 400 feet in length has been run into the side of a mountain, and will cut the mica vein (found on the is estimated that these will yield 10,000 tons of emery, which is said to be of has been conducted on another part of in afm Anal unless theré should be a fault in the for- mation. The man of science will find there MANY RARE BEAUTIES in gem stones, and many more minerals of interest. The extensive alterations and general decomposition which the re- gion has undergone, and the more recent: wearing down of the disintegrating ma- terial has left ¢xposed inthe seil, not only free gold, but many interesting and rare minerals. The mineralogist finds here a bonanza indeed. Just run over the list ‘and see what is there, beginning with the native elements: gold, silver, lead, platinum, (very rare) and diamonds; Sulphides—molibdenite, galenite, pyrite; Oxides—corundun, hemetite, magnetite, ilmenite, (menaccanite,) rutile, pyrolusite, quartz, (several varieties,) agate; Silicates —amphibole, asbestus, beryl, chrysolite, garnet, zircon, biotite, muscovite, ortho- clase, tourmaline, fibrolite, kyanite, topaz, talc, kaolinite, epidote, actinolite; Car- bonates—dolomite, cerussite; Phosphates —vivianite, monazite; Miscellaneous— pyrope and almandine garnets, hyacinth, ruby, emerald, aquamarine, citrine topaz, amethyst and other gem stones not yet determined. This is an exceedingly in- teresting list and presents a variety rare- ly found in so limited an area. It is needless to add that the company who have been conducting - this property with such success intend toimprove every opportunity and that the Marion Bullion Company are just at the beginning of the journey which will ultimately bring them to the head of the gold production of this State.

The following is the plan of organiza- tion heretofore adopted by the State Democratic committee for the guidance of the party. TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION. 1. The unit of county organization shall be the township. In each township there shall be an executive committee, to cun- sist of five active Democrats, who shall be elected by the Democratic voters of the several townships in meetings called by the county executive committee. And said committee so elected shall elect one of its members as chairman, who shall preside at all said committee meetings. 2. The several township executive com- mittees shall convene at the meetings of the several county conventions, or at any time and place that a majority of them may elect, and shall elect a coun- ty executive committee, to consist of not less than five members, one of whom shall be designated as chairman, who shall preside at all of said committee meetings. 3. In case there shall be a failure on the part of any township to elect its executive committee for the period of thirty days, the county executive committee shall ap- oint said committee from the Democrat- ic voters of said township. 4, The members of the township com- mittees shall elect to any vacancy occur- ring in said committees. . 5. The county executive committee shall call all necessary county conventions by giving at least ten days notice by ne lic advertisement in three public places in each ron eD, at the court use door, and in any Democratic newspapers that may be published in said county, requesting all Democrats of the county to meet in convention in their respective townships, on a common day there stated which said day shall not be less than three days before the meeting of the coun- ty convention, for the purpose of electing bheie delegates to the conventions. That thereupon the conventionsso held shall ap- point delegates to represent the townships in the county conventions from the voters of the respective townships, which dele- 'gates, or such of them as shall attend, shall vote the full Democratic strength of their respective townships on all ques- tions that may come before the said coun- ty conventions. That in case no conven- tion shall be held in any township in pursuance of said call, or no election shall be made the township executive committee shall appoint such delegates. 6. Each township shall be entitled to cast in the county convention one vote for every twenty-five Democratic votes, land one vote for fractions of fifteen Dem- |ocratic votes cast by that towship at the jlast preceding gubernatorial election: | Provided, That every township shall be ‘entitled to cast at least one vote, and oon township may send as many dele- | gates as it may see fit.] 7. That in cases where townships con- sist of more than one ward or precinct, each of said wards or precincts shall be entitled to send delegates to county con- ventions, and shall cast its proportion- ate part of its township’s vote, based upon the last preceding vote for Govern- or in said township, 8. The chairman of township commit- tees shall preside at all township conven- tions; in their absence any other mem- ber of said committees may preside. 9. In cases where all the township ex- ecutive committees are required to meet for the purpose of electing county execu- tive committees, said meetings shall be represented in said meeting. COUNTY AND DISTRICT CONVENTIONS. 1. The several conventions shall be en- titled to elect to their senatorial, judicial and congressional conventions, one dele- gate and one alternate for every fifty Democratic votes, and one delegate for fractions over twenty-five Democratic votes cast at the last preceeding guberna- torial election in their respective coun- ties, and none but delegates or alternates so elected shall be entitled to seats in said conventions: Provided, That every county shall, have at least one vote in each of said conventions. 2. The chairman, or in his absence any member of the county, senatorial, judi- cial and congressional committee shall call to order their respective conventions, and hold the chairmanship thereof until the convention shall elect its chairman. 3. The executive committees of the senatorial, congressional and judicial dis- tricts, respectively, shall, at the call of their respective chairmen, meet at some time and place in their respective dis- tricts, designated in said call. And it shall be their duty to appoint the time and place for holding conventions in their it pe districts; and the chairman of said respective committees shall imme- diately notify the chairmen of the differ- ent county executive committees of said appointment, and the said county execu- tive committees shall forthwith call con- ventions of their respective counties in conformity to said notice to send dele- gates to said respective district conven- tions. STATE CONVENTIONS. 1, The State couvention shall be com- posed of Jclegates appointed by the several county conventions, Each county shall be entitled to elect one delegate and one al- ternate for every one hundred and fifty Democratic votes, and one delegate for fractions over seventy five Democratic votes cast therein at the last preceding gubernatorial clection; and none but dele— gates or alternates so. elected shall be en- titled to seats in said convention; provided ihat every county shall have at least one vote in said convention, GENERAL RULES. 1. Such delegates (or alternates of absent delegates) as may be present at any Demo- cratic convention shall be allowed to cast the whole vote to which their township or county may be entitled. 2. In all conventions provided for by this system, after a vote is cagt there shail be no change in such vote until the final result of the ballot shall be announced by the chairman of said convention. 3. All Democratic executive committees shall bave the power to fill any vacancy occurriug in their respective bodies, 4. That the chairmen of the different county conventions shall certify the lists of delegates and alternates tothe different district and State conventions, ansl a cer— titied list of said delegates and alternates to State conventions shall be sent to the | secretary of the State central committee. For the committe, R. H. Batre, Chairman. B. C. Beckwirtn, Secretary. ——~—>— Fitness of Things. They were arguing about the usefulness of | using tobacco. |. ‘What would you think,” said the minister, | Impressively, ‘ if you met an angel coming | down the street with a cigar in its mouth ?” ss W hat, ’ retorted the sinner, “ would you think iW you saw one in a plug bat and a pair of ear muffs coming up the street ?” V.ce stings u#even in our pleasures, but virtue consoles us even in our pain — Blount, ve Work of the Curculio. It is for the interest of farmers to learn the habits of this pest, as it is the chief difficulty in growing plumbs, one of the most profitable fruits that the farmer can cultivate. The insect never lays but one egg ina plum; in the cases where two eggs are found in the same fruit they are laid by different insects. It takes a curculio ae fif- teen minutes to deposit her egg. First, with the beak a small piece of the skin is raised, just enough to allow the ovi- positor to be ingerted. After the egg is laid the skin is doubled back over the egg soasto wrap it up. Last of all the peculiar crescent-shaped mark is made around where the egg is laid. The object of this is to deaden the skin so that the growth of the fruit will not prevent the egg from hatching. The rocess is a very interesting one, and is beat witnéssed in the cool of the morn- ing, when the insect is not so shy as mid-day. Cutting and Housing Tobacco. Do not be in a hurry to begin cut- ting your tobacco until it is mpe, and enough uniformly ripe to fill a barn. A thin butcher or shoe knife, well sharpened, and wrapped with a soft cloth around the handle and extending an iuch along the blade, will do the work effectually and be easy to the hand. ‘Try it. Put knives into the hands of experienced cutters only—men who know ripe tobacco, and will select plants uniform in color and texture, and will cut no other. Have your sticks all ready in the field, and placed in piles convenient—sticking a stick vertically in the ground over each pile that they may be found when wanted. Pine sticks, rived three-fourths of an inch by one and one-fourth inch, and one-half feet long, drawn smooth, are best. . Start together two cutters and one stick holder—the cutters carrying two rows each and the stick holder walkin between them. The cutter takes hol of the plant with his left hand at the top near where the knife enters the stalk; with his right he splits the stalk down the centre (observing to guide the knife so as not to sever the leaves) to within three inches of the point he intends to sever the stalk from the hill; as the knife descends his left hand fol- lows the split or opening, and when the plant is severed from the hill, by adex- trous movement of the left hand the plant is straddled across the stick in the hands of the holder. When the stick has received about six medium plants, if intended for bright, it is ready to go to the barn, either carried by hand if near, or hauled on a wagon if distant. If it is necessary to use the wagon, prepare a bed sixteen feet long to hold three coops on piles, on which place tobacco as cut, and after placing twenty-five or thirty sticks of cut to- bacco on each coop, drive to the barn to be unloaded. Tobacco suitable for brights is best handled in this way, as it is bruised less than if handled by any other mode. Try it planters, and know for vour- selves. Very heavy tobacco will break less if, after being cut by the above mode, the sticks are placed gently on the ground and the plants allowed to wilt before removed to the barn. But tobacco if medium size bruises less to handle it without wilting. Cutting and honsing by this mode you never have any sun-burned tobacco. For brights, it has been found best to commence curing at once, as soon as the barn can befilled. R. L. Raaianp,* Hyco, Halifax Co. N. C. Ne ge Late Corn for Fodder. The capabilities of the corn plant for forage have never been fully tested, and are doubtless equal to most, if not greater, than those of any other culti- vated plant. For large portions of the South, and most warm countries, it stands the one safe and reliable forage and food crop, capable of feeding a dense population and immense flocks and herds. About the first of July last, after the Irish potato had been dug from a half acre patch, we planted corn upon it, following the old row, and dropping the seed one in a place at about three feet apart. It came up very quickly and regularly, and grew off finely and rapidly. It was plowedthree times and once weeded ath ahoe. A part of it has now good ears of corn that will make good, solid grain—and, but for the prolonged and distressing spell of dry weather that even yet prevails, this corn would have doge walk and yield- ed corn, and blade and top fodder fully equal to the early crop. We have not the shadow of a Tals now but that good corn, in any average season, can be made in this section, and, of course, anywhere southward, even when plan- ted as late as the first or second week in July. We mean by this, good, solid corn for bread, with the usual crops of blade and top fodder. So then, if the farmer has reason to fear that the early corn planted in April or May will not do very well, he may plant more in July, and if seasons are favorable, will do about as well with the last as the first. There is seldom any valid or unavoidable excuse for lack of bread in Southern homes.—Rural Messen- ger. Corn that is hilled will blow down more readily than that which has level culture. ‘This can be accounted for by the fact that -corn roots run very near the surface, and when hills are made they are confined to the small space covered by the hill, while in level cul- ture the roots run from one row to the other, thus enabling the corn to stand strong, as nature intended, and in no way liable to be blown down except by winds of unusual violence. Mr, Dana, of the Sun,is reported to have said that the editor of a newspaper, in order to be en- tirely free and untrammeled in his work, ought to have no social relations whatever, and hence he has never joined any socicty, club or a soci- ation, ~ oe Never Saw the Like. “What was the matter with your son when he died?” was asked of an old negro. “Nothin da matter wid hem when he died ‘boss, only dat he was dead.” Yes I know but what caused his death ? “Ole age sah.” “What, roe son die of old age?” “Yar, sah.” - “How, then is it that you have not died of old age?” “Ain't ole ernuff I reckon.” “Then how could your son die that way.” “Oase he wuz older den me.” “How do you make that?” = “Libed faster, sah; libed faster ‘sides’ dat I b'lebes I’se one o’de ninted. Boss wush yer'd gen meer piece o'dat cheese. Too ole fur white folks ter eat. Thankee sah, he added as the store- keeper turned tothe cheese, thankee sah,” putting a couple of mackeral under his coat. , The r gave him the cheese, smiled in a disguised way and asked: “What have you got under your coat?” “Nothin, sah.” “What makes it stand out so?” “Swellin’ in my side, sah.” ‘Let me see,” placing his head near the “swelling.” “Let me investigate for I used to be a doctor.” “Yas, sah; yas, sah.” “There is a peculiar smell about it.” “Yas, sah, dat’s whut I hear ‘em say.” “And,” putting his hand under the old fellows coat, “it seems strange that—” “Oh take de blame fish ef dat’s whut’s yer’s airter. Neber seed de like in my life. Man kaint go out fishin’ an’ bring in er few pearch lessen some pusson wants ter ‘speck him. Neber did see de like.”—Arhansaw Traveler. A Solitary Horseman. Captain Nigglesworth. who is a can- didate for the legislature, stopped at the unpretentious house of old Sam Saber. After supper, while the candi- date was sitting on the porch, smoking a cigar, Saber'’s little boy shyly ap- proached. “Come here, my son. Sit on my knee. Now you're fixed. Do you go to school 2” “No, but me an’ Dick killed a water moccasin yistidy.” “You did.” “Ah, hah.” “Were you not afraid he would bite you?” “Ho, he couldn't bite. I could git Outen his way an’ hit him with a rock.” “My little man after awhile vou can tell people that you sat on Cap. Nig- glesworth’s kee.” “Ho, that ain't nuthin’ ter tell. 1 sot on my pap’s knee yistidy, an’ he’s biggern’ you.’ “Yes, it would be something to tell for I am going to the legislature.” “Pap says you ain't.” “What?” putting the boy down. “Yes, when he seed yer comin’ he said, “yonder comes dat blamed fool. He thinks he is going to the legisla- tur’ but he ain’t got sense enough to holler when he’s dog bit. That's what my pap said.” ~ “Get away.” A few moments later, had the night not been so dark, a solitary horseman might have been seen riding along the old military road.—Arkansaw Trac- eller. * A Queer Rat Story. A rat while attempting to escape from human enemies in _ the electric light station in Reading, Pa., a few weeks ago, jumped directly from the floor on one of the brushes and was thrown back tothe ground. He lay motionless, apparently and certainly dead, but with- out even a hair turned. One of the employes was sent with a shovel to gather it up, but as soon as the shovel touched it the rat fell to dust with a little cloud of particle rising from the lace where the body had seemingly laid. here was no vestige of hair, flesh or bones remaining. . Strikers Turned into the woods. patch from Grape Creek Illinois, says the miners who went on a strike, May 1, are being turned into the woods like so many cattle. They struck for 75 cents but sub- sequently oftered to arbitrate. The com- pany declined and placed a strong guard over its property and notified the strikers to vacate the houses they occupied. The men sought relief in law, but the Court decided on June 2d, that the leases were valid and the houses must be vacated.— The men were given until June 21 to get out, but failed to comply, and last week they were forcibly evicted. The strikers, with their families, num- bering about 1,000, are camped in the woods and subsist on the pittance doled out to them by the union. It is asserted that but for a few professional agitators, the men would Jong ago have been back to work. Their condition is deptorable. = Danger!

Editor Carolina Watchman.—We have been having rain, rain, and still it rains. We can get only one day ina week to plow, so you can have an idea how our crops look. Some of our farmers (?) have corn and cotton that has had nothing done to it since it was planted. This of course is nota general thing, it is only the case with those who take things easy, who spend a day now and then bunting or fishing, and cant find time to go to town while others are busy as a bee on the farm; who must stop the plow to go to mill or haul wood because they hap- pened to get out just when they could plow. Of course they never think of going to mill till the good Jady says'the barrel is empty, nor of hauling wood un- til the last piece has been .burned, and then they must go if the plow has to stop. Now about the crops asa general thing. Corn on upland where it was planted early and worked well looks tolerably well while that planted late and not worked is ‘‘shabby.’’ Bottoms as a gen- eral thing, will be a failure. There has been entirely too much rain for cotton. Wheat is cut, and proved tobe far below an average crop, too much rain when it was blooming, too many bugs when it was ripening, and too much rain When it was on the shock. There is but very little wheat hauled in; what is out is sprouting very badly, at least one half of the wheat in the field is now damaged by rain. The corn was all washed down on Thursday Ist and it has been too wet since to go in to set it up, consequently it is growing crooked and cannot be plowed any more. But farmers should look at the bright side, the rain drowns out the bugs and checks their ravages on the corn, <Also learn a lesson of industry from the present season. There has been fine weather enough since the wheat was dry forus all to have our wheat in the barn, but alas only a few have improved the opportunity, while many go about grumbling at the rain. © Now the lesson, —let us always try to do the right thing at the right time; Ict us not put off haul- ing wheat because we have some grassy cotton to hoe or plow, and when we can plow, to plow in truth. Gotothe city when trade is brisk, see every clerk busy, almost inarun the whole day hardly taking time for their meals, while we see farmers with hired hands, slceping after sun up, moping along to the field late in the day, spending two or three hours in the shade at noon because it is so hot. Brother farfhers, we must get out of this, the merchant knows the busy season lasts not the whole year, so he makes use of it. Thesame with us, the sun shines not every day, so let us be up and doing, there is by far too much sleep on the farm, we should remember that the sleeping fox catches no poultry, and that there will be sleep cnough in the grave. There is no use for idleness now, even if it is rainy, if we are indeed farin- ers we will find plenty of work to do while it is raining, and while it is too wet to plow, let us make preparations for another crop, now is the time to get up the materia! for the compost heap for fall use, Wishing vou and your paper success, I remain yours truly, L. W. ee Who are the Laborers? The recent labor agitation has led to an opening of the eyes of many as to who the laborer is. — [t is no longer conceded without question that the men who work in factories and belong to labor unions are entitled to the exclu- sive distinction of “working men.” It turns ont on investigation that this is a working world and that we all work. [t has also been disclosed that we are all employers, or capitalists, and all employes. Today the shoemaker plays capitalist and employs the tailor to make him a coat; tomorrow the tailor plays capitalist aud employs the shoe- maker to make shoes for him. So we vo; now one and now the other is cap- italist or laborer. But which has the easiest time, the owner of the mills who skirmishes around, twelve to fifteen hours a day for money for the opera- tives, and get only his board and cloth- ing for it, and often ean’t sleep because he can't get the money, or the man who works his ten hours, gets his money without skirmishing, and sleeps without molestation.— Me.

Diversity in Crops. An intelligent farmer at Whitaker's writes as follows: “Can't you advocate the planting of peas and beans for North Carolina as you have tobaceo? ‘There more money in’ them than in cotton. [tis not too late now to put themin. A North Carolina invention will gather them ata nominal eost, planted in rows three feet apart. There 1s too much rain to make a good crop of cot- ton or cori Low.” This suggestion 1s timely. The pea and the bean will grow to perfection in any part of the State, and they are not only profitable but very desirable crops. Nerth Carolina farmers should seek variety of crops. The wise cry is— diversify and make home supplies.— Wilmington Star, Is Immigration Items. : Mr. Henry Bell, ef Philadelphia, would like to correspond with North Carolina people having desirable. farming. land with mill proverty for rentor sale.

The property of the company is said to rapidly increasing in value, and one half million dollars is reported to have been offered for it recently by capital- ists.

The Blair Bill Made Clear. Asheville Citizen. In order to show what the Blair Edu- cational Bill really means, we quote the following from a recent speech of Hon. R. A. Pierce of Tennessee. Mr. Pierce said“that the advocates of the Blair bill lost sight of the fact that the States would have to raise by taxation an equal amount for school purposes as that received from the Government, and that the white people, who owned most all the property, woulfl have to pay that tax, while the negro, with his preponderance of ignorance would reap the benefit. Also that the negro who was born in slavery would not be bene- fitted one dollar’s worth directly, he being too old to receive an education, and only negroes who were born un- der same rights as the whites would receive direct benefit, they receiving, under the provisions of the Blair bill, two-thirds while the white children, whose parents paid very near all the taxes, would receive just one-third. There is not aState in the South, should the Blair bill become a law, but what would have to increase its taxa- tion.” Senator Blair, the author of the measure, a republican Senator from New Hampshire, gave the following in one of his speeches in the Senate while supporting the bill, as one of the ob- jects thereof: “Speaking simply as a_ republican politician, I assert that this measure should be enacted into a law for the purpose of spreading the principles of the Republican party, and as_ the only possible way of doing it hereafter.” Here is a frank declaration from the author himself that the purpose and object of the bill is to create a vast machine for the purpose of inculcating Repubiican doctrines. Does any sane man doubt the lengths to which the republican party would .go, asks the Nashville Dail? American, with the power of Federal supervision, if by any mutation in politics it should come in- to power? ee ‘Senator Vance in New York. From N. Y, Star. Tammany Hall never contained a larger or more enthusiastic audience than that which crowded every part of it yesterday to take part in the annual celebration by the Tammany Society of the birthday of American indepen- dence. Hon. Zebulon B. Vance was intro- duced, amid applause, for the “long talk.” The Senator said: “One of the ambitions of my life is gratified today. Istandin Tammany Hall, one of the oldest and most ancient orders of Democracy in this country.” He re- viewed the causes that led to the vic- tory of the Democracy and the change in the administration of government. “The thieves and jobbers have been driven out of the Capitol at Washing- ton by astrict adherence to simple Democratic principles. They will be kept out as long as this is adhered to, but will be lost the moment we forget our duty to them.” Mr. Vance who, as Governor of North Carolina, is said to have addressed the now famous re- mark to the Governor of South Caroli- na, took a glass of water, and drink- ing it, turned to the grand sacheme with the remark: “This is a mighty thin drink for Tammany.” When the applause died away he continued: “We believe in equal rights to all and ex- clusive privileges to none.

This book weighs fouricen pounds. The edi- tion consumed forty-five tons of the fn s and heaviest calendered paper, twelve | tons of card-board, and 3,000 yards of the | finest silk cloth for covers.

Few men take the posi- tion conceded Mr. Henderson, in Wash- {ngton, during a first term. His pres- ence there has been productive of good, and from our knowledge of the man, we fearlessly say that no man in the district would render more faithful or conscientious service to his constinu- ency than John S. Henderson. We repeat that it is very gratifying to know that his renomination is not only assured, but that it springs spon- taneously from the people. It is a just tribute to a good public servant. Asheville’s Affliction. A few aays ago, Natt Atkinson, a resident of Asheville, the beautiful city on a bill, wasa man only known in the deepest shades of private life. The President of the United States, in ex- ercising lis authority in protecting the national treasury from the depleting grabs of a yery liberal “appropriative” Congress, vetoed the bill providing for an $80,000 public puilding at Ashe- ville. This was a disappointment not only to that town, but to the people of North Carolina, yet all must concede that Mr. Cleveland in doing so, acted in good faith and in the line of his convictions, even giving his reasons for the action. But the Presidents action seemed to outrage Mr. Atkinson to such an extent that he sent the follow- ing insolence to him by telegram: “Having sent you several invitations to come to Buncombe county, believing ou to be ajwise and a just man, and hay- ng found out that you are neither, all in- vitations are withdrawn.” This was surely done without the sanction of the people of Buncombe, and certainly without the sanction of the people of the State. It is not cal- culated to do the State any good, and was altogether wanton and uncalled for. It was insolent and unpolite and should be resented by the people of Buncombe as being simply the express- ion of an irate individual —probably seeking notority. * * * How some men spring into notority! They mount the dazzling heights with a bound—like a rocket—but they rare- ly burn long. They soon flicker and go out leaving a darker darkness. Fame! There are degrees in fame, reaching from wisdom’s lofty dome to folly’s lowly dell. Yes, some men are famed for nothing. Ambition is a merciless goad urging vein humanity to reach by means fair or foul, the coveted goal. Ambition seeks opportu- nities, It only requires an oppertuni- ty and a min to make a fool. What isa foo\? Mr. Webster, in his book, defines a fool as “A person deficient in intellect, one who acts absurdly, or pursues a course contrary to the dic- tates of wisdom; a simpleton; a dunce; adolt.” Mr. Webster has written on many subjects sud is noted for his con- eiseness. A foul can do great harm to the neighborhood in whieh he lives. A-community afflicted with many such specimens is apt to get into trouble, consequently the helpless in such places are forever tormenting Jesse Holmes the fool killer, with petitions to come to their relicf. Some how or other, this same Jesse is a mighty slow poke. He could find many a job in this Siate and not half try. —_— C. A. Snow & Co., solicitors of pat- ents, Washington, D.

[From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON July 12, 1886. The Republicans in Congress are trying very hard to make political capital against the President on account of his pension vetoes. But the vetoes are too well sup- ported by facts and commun sense to furnish material for partisan appeals. It was to be expected however, that the pri- tives would grow wrathy asthe kind of work they were engaged in was brought to light. The failure of their little schemes together with their expostre incited them to a reckless pitch of determination to se- cure’ the adoption of these bills anyhow, though there is little prospect of their suc- cess. The Democratic leaders are resolved to stay here all summer, as one of them said, betore abandoning their position in the mat- ter. But the Republicans have proposed a compromise which will probably be accep- ted. Under its terms two hours will be allowed for debate upon such of the vetoed bills as may be selected, and atthe expiration of the time an aye and nay vote will be taken, the result of which is to be regarded tinal as to the other vetoes. The report of the Senate Pension Com- mittce upon the vetoed bills, was little more than along and ill-concealed howl of baffled rage. It even accused the Presi- dent of casting a slur upon the chastity of a woman and of sneering at wounds receiv- ed in the service of the country. But so many of these private neasures are obvi- ously without merit, and mere altempts to bestow gratuities upon favored persons who have no real claim upon the bounty of the Government, that the President's ac- tion will be more applauded as attention is called to the grounds upon which it is based, The Republicans of the House of Repre- sentatives made speeches upon this issuc that were intended to be very severe upon the President, but they were more plainty bids for political support than evidence of patriotism. They proceeded upon the as- sumption that the vetoes of private pension bills are unpopular and wi:l not be sus- tained by public sentiment. One answer made by Representative Matcon to some of their complaints was interesting. We call- ed attention to the fact that many of the cases rejected by Mr. Cleveland had already been vetoed by a Republican Commission- er of Pensions, The rejection by the Sen- ate of Goode to be Solicitor-General was the subjeet of much discussion at the Capitol on Saturday. The unanimous verdict was that the opposition all center— ed iv Senator Mahone. and the vote of the Republican Senators was their way of help- ing the thwarted, scheming little politician As no Democrat opposed the nomination, many Congressmen think the proper thing for nate Mr. Goode. He might have done this, if the’Scnate had merely neglected to con- tirm, but since the Senate had rejected, he will not be likely to renominate. The Senators were determined to have Mr. Goode’s case all to themselves, tor when it came up they held a strictly Star Chamber Session lasting six hours, The Sergeant at Arms visited the flooroa which the galleries, the document anda large were dtiven out of their portion of the building.

The only objection made to Mr. Mauney’s nomination is that he is a Rowan man, and they say: “Row- an has the representative in Congress.” Is that, think you, sufficient ground for giving an Iredell, or any other man the nomination in preference to Mr. Mauney. One would hardly think so, yet you see that in some of the district papers. If the Judicial and Congress- ional district were made up of the same territory it might be plausible to object to giving one county two officers, but when this is not the case, the objection does not hold. As to Mr. Mauney, he is certainly the peer of any man yet named for the position. ae ge Psogramme OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ROWAN COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION, FRANKLIN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, AU- 17TH AND I8TH, 1886.

On this oceasion the water was & little too high and the Dr. and _ his horse and buggy were washed down the creek some 100 yards, passing the old bridge, and when a short distance below, the buggy caught on asnag. The Dr. got out on the horse, cut it loose, and he and the animal escaped. The buggy was saved later. The Dr. lost about $25 worth of instruments in this scrape. The bridge should be repaired at once. If the Co. Bridge Commissioner can’t do it let the Commissioners have some one in the neighborhood do the work at once. Mr. Locke Thompson had a like exper- ience in crossing South River recently. He was driving two mules to a wagon and was washed dewn stream. He got out onthe mules and unhitched them and escaped, but the wagon went on turn- ing overand overas it was carricd by thecurrent.

On last Monday Mr. Clinton Dobson, who is hard of hearing, left town a foot He goton the railroad track at Capt. Tate’s, 5 miles froin town and had walk- ed about one-fourth of a mile when the evening train going west came up behind him. ‘The engineer blew long and loud, but Mr. Dobson, failing to hear, made no effort to get off. The train ran upon him and threw him about 20 feet from the track, killing him instantly. His body was taken on the train and carried to Glen Alpine Station, near where he lived. Many of the citizens are reflecting upon the engineer and say that he ought to be responsible for the death of this man. In the absence of full particulars we with- hold any comment. Since the above was set in type a coro- ners’ inquest was held and a verdict ren- dered that “Clinton Dobson came to his death from criminal nezlizence on the part of engineer Moore.’ Upon the affidavit of the Coroner, Esq. John Tull issued a warrant for Moore, who came up froin Salisbury yesterday even- ing and surrendered to Sheriff Lackey. Hon. Charles Price was employed for the defence. On a hearing before Esq.

Two little white boys, and a little negro, (ll names withheld) who witness- ed the hanging of the negro Frank Gas- ton, determined to have a small one of theirown. ‘lhe little negro consented to be hung. The gellows was rigged up with forked sticks supporting a cross bar, to which the repe was suspended. The scaffold was built up of boxes and the little negro climed into position with some difficulty. When ready, and before the black cap was adjusted, he was asked if he cared to make a speech. He talked a few moments, repeating nearly exactly the words of Gaston and wound up by requesting the executioners to make quick work of it. They attached the cap and rope and knocked the boxes from underhim. A negro woman passing jaX® then saw thelittle fellow “swingin’ in de lane’’ and cut hin down. He would have died in a short time but for this timely rescue. It was a boyish “toy hang- ing,” which came near being fatal. —- nam poe 5) Pueblo Relics. Maj. 8. W. Cole, who has fora long time been enthusiastic in his study of archeology and who has carefully pre- served every object illustrative of abo- riginal workmanship which has come into his possession, has received a nice collection of decorated clay ware, used by the Pueblo Indians for culinary and other purposes. They are in a splendid state of preservation and are fine speci- mens of Indian ceramic art. Maj. Cole has made inany contributions to the Smithsonian Institute, and has furnished some things entirely new to the Archzeolo- gists of America. These have not yet been reported upon by the experts who are making a study of them, when they are, we hope to lay the reports before our readers. These archeological relics are the books of the ethnologist. Through them he must unravel all that is possible to know of aboriginal life; of their hunting, fishing, games, and in fact, of every phase of their existence. So that these tangible tokens are the links, and they are oftimes broken and imperfect, yet they have a story to tell. The speci- mens of clay vessels spoken of above are the gift of the Smithsonian to Maj. Cole, partly in recognition of his contributions to that Institution, and partly in compli- ment to his enthusiasm in all matters pertaining to archeology. Death of David H. Trott.

Ife ac- MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR. Catawba Mine. This is the name given the old Kings Mountain mine, by the present new man- agement. A change of name was desira- ble for many reasons which need not be given here. Some Washington city gen- tlemen have taken hold of this valuable property and are just now engaged in forking the water from the main shaft, which is 332 feet deep. The water would have been cleared by this date, but from the unprecedented rain fall during the past two months. This has, of course, kept the mine fullin spite of the two immense pumps. But they are gaining steadily on the water now and expect to reach the ore body in six weeks. Prof. Geo. B. Hanna in speaking of this mine says:: ‘The vein is of great thickness, sometimes reaching to 40 feet: the front vein has generally been the richer; as- says run from $3.55 to $11.84, $16.79 and $45.94. The vein is in limestone; its great width, the care with which it is worked and milled, and the small amount of sulphurets (about 3 per cent.) combined to make even the low grade, material profitable ore to treat. The iil has 40 stamps. A yield of $750,000 is attributed to this mine.” This report was made be- fore the present company took hold, and shows that they have very reasonable grounds for encouragement. Mr. C, E. Hawley, M. E., of Washington city, is in charge of the property and Mr. J. C. Hor- ton, is superintendent in charge of the work. The locality is different from the general auriferous deposits of the State, and later on something more will be found in these columns concerning it. THE VEIN MOUNTAIN MINE. The Vein Mountain mine, located in McDowell county, about 12 miles south- east from Marion, is in active operation: It has been-worked as a placer mine for a long time, but just now no placer work is being done. They are working ore from a quartz vein, which is from 18 inches to two feet in width and is taken from no very great depth. They havea ten stamp battery, which works from 7 to 8 tons per day very easily. Supt. Gaden was not present when the writer visited the mine, and his opportunity for gaining information was, in very limited. The mill man furnished the above, and, in speak- ing of the vield, said that after a recent run of nine days, 1,100 pennyweights was the result of the cleanup. his will give an idea of the value of the ore, HOLTSHOUSER MINE. A recent visit to the Holtshouser mine, in this county, which is being opened by ropper consequence, Prof. J. M. Tiernan, shows that consider- able work has been done. Prof. Tiernan who has a great deal of practical know!- edge mixed with scientific lore, has left his finger marks on all the surreundings. The ‘ore shown us is good enough to make fair wages with an ordinary mor- tarand pan. Should the property con- tinue in depth the value indicated on the surface, it would become at once a great producer. Prof. J. A. D. Stevenson of Statesville, has a collection of minerals which should belong to the State, or to Chapel Hill, Davidson, Trinity or Wake Forest Col- leges. It far surpasses any collection in the State, and each specimen is a model of its kind. It is of such proportions as to forbid its proper exhibition in its pres- ent surroundings. Mr. Stevenson should prepare carefully sufficient memoranda to accompany the collection. The col- lection thus accompanied would be of great value to the State, and as before re- marked, should be the property of the State. The magnificent collection of the late Prof. Humphrys has been sacked and scattered, so that it has but little left of value as the result of his observation and labors. ‘ $< A Great Fire. Milwaukee, July 8.—Later advices from the fires at Rameo are that eleven dwell- ing houses, one boarding house, two warehouses, a saw mill, planing mill, eight million feet of lumber and five mil- lion shingles burned. The loss will be $130,000; insurance $50,000. Sixty men are thrown out of employment and twen- ty seven frmilies are left destitute. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have caught from a spark from a locomotive. The woods south of Rameo are all on fire and ‘men and wo- men are fighting the flames.

Some complaint comes from the coun- ty regarding the time of holding the convention. The time was put off to the last possible moment, for good reasons. A conyention of the people would have delegates to the Judicial and Congress- ional conventions which conyene on the 2d and 3d of August. had to be represented at cach of these and dele- towan gates must be appointed with authority to act, Which makes a convention neces- sary. The committee thought that one convention was enough as all the business could easily be transacted at that late as possible before the assembling of the above conventions, thus saving the people attendance on tivo conventions. This is the reason for the present pro- gramme, = Ooo LIST OF LETTERS. List of letters remaining in post office at Salisbury, N. C., for the week ending July 10, 18386.

PLAN OF ORGANIZATION OF THE DEMO- CRATIC PARTY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RALEIGH, N. C., June 16, 1886. The following is the plan of organiza- tion heretofore adopted by the State Democratic committee for the guidance of the party. TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION. 1. The unit of county organization shall be the township. In each township there shall be an executive committee, to con- sist of five active Democrats, who shall be elected by the Democratic voters of the several townships in meetings called by the county executive committee. And said committee so elected shall elect one ‘of its members as chairman, who shall | preside at all said committee meetings. 2. The several township executive com- mittees shal! convene at the meetings of the several county conventions, or at any time and place that a majority of them may‘elect, and shall elect a coun- ty executive committee, to consist of not less than five members, one of whom shall be designated as chairman, who shall preside at all of said committee meetings. 3. In ease there shall be a failure on the part of any township to elect its executive committee for the period of thirty days, the county executive committee shall ap- peint said committee from the Democrat- ic voters of said township. 4. The members of the township com- mittees shall clect to any vacancy occur- ring in said committees. . 5. The county executive committee shall call all necessary county conventions by giving at least ten days notice by »ub- lic advertisement in three public places in each township, at the court house door, and in any Democratic newspapers that may be published in said county, requesting all Democrats of the county to mect in convention in their respective | townships, on a common day there stated which said day shall not be less than three days before the mecting of the coun- | ty convention, for the purpose of electing / their delegates to the conventions. That | thereupon the conyentionsso held shall ap- | point delegates to represent the townships MISCELLANEOUS, The Tables Turned. Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald. General W. S. Walker met recently around a social board an extreme Mas- sachusetts man of the Pendry type of sentiment. -Finding this gallant old veteran of two wars corraled as it were in the midst of a group of Northern gentlemen, the Pendry sympathizer thought it would be vastly fine to ng him a little upon the issues of the war, and so sailed into him with more frank- ness than courtesy, the General reply- ing with great good humor of self-con- trol. Finally the Massachusetts man touched upon the Davis incident and vented his solitary disapproval in em- phatie terms, eulogizing Pendry and arraigning Davis in sharp_ terms. Misled by General Walker’s good nature the extremist said: “This whole demonstration toward Jeff Davis isan outrage upon the country and a menace to the peace of the nation. It proves to me that you Southern people are willing to-morrow to begin another rebellion, and to de- stroy the Union!” “Look here,” said Gen. Walker, quiet- ly. “I see you do not understand the situation at all. The truth is, the South is just now better satisfied with its position and more interested in the preservation of the Union than you people of Massachusetts. The South is prospering, contented and hopeful. As a result of the war, our representa- tion in Congress has been vastly m- creased, and in point of fact the South comes nearer to controlling the Gov- ernnent than any other section of the country. We are the largest influence in it. Why should we wish to destroy it?

When you people up there see the current of prosperity setting Southward; when your manufactures begin to drift away towards the field of production; when your spindles and looms decrease, while the mills of the south are multiplying, you will get up a great dissatisfaction over some small constitutional question, and rebel against the new order of things. But I want to say to you now,” said Gen. Walkey, rising, “that if ever you people of New England attempt to secede from the Union, we of the South will promptly thrash you back in- to it!” The group of Northern gentlemen present broke into a roar of approving laughter, and the extremely “loyal” left the company. = en eee Woman's Hizhts. Silas is a country character, who means well. He tries to earn a living and “tinkers around” at odd jobs and and chores and whatever he can get to ks a good deal as he talks —with a painful drawl that’ is very suggestive of that state of natural rest- fulness which is ilk eall ‘born tired.” Silas came to mend a fence the other day for one of his patrons in the subur- ban village where he belongs, with ¢ peculiar wir of festivity about him. He had ona brieht, new necktie of blue Japanese silk, and his honest face was covered by an expansive grin all the time he was receiving his orders. “You seem happy, Silas,” said Mr. Bland, with some curicsity, when he had finished about the fence. “Ya-as.” drawled Silas. “Ya-as, I’ve been a gittin’ married this mornin’.” “Married! You? Why, Silas, man alive, what on earth kave you gone and donethat for? You can't support your- self as it is!” “Wull.” said Silas, “I ken pooty near support myself, ‘in’ T think it’s a durn pity if she can't help some!” cer cee ee Jube Early's Nigger Joe. One of the best known characters in Lynchburg, Va., is Jube Harly’s nigger “Joe.” Joe is an old negro with all the dignity of a body servant of the slavery days, in! his affection for the General amounts to worship. Jube owned Joe before the war, and owns him still, Joe having never been freed, scorning to 2ecept what he says docs not belong te him, and saying as long as Mass Juhe was alive Joe is his slave. Karly is very fond of his slave, and would shoot quicker in defense of the negro than anybody else. He given Joe carte blanche te buy what he hikes in the town, and has instructed storekeepers, no matter what Joe wants, or how much it will cost, to give it to him and send the bill to his master. Sometimes Karly gets rather worse for whisky and then acomical sight is seen. Joe follows him like a dog, and when the General gets very drank Joe will say: “Mass Jube, you mus, come home.” “Why you black raseal, what do you mean? I'm your master.” , “Yes, Mass Jube, when you’se so when you'se drunk P’se massa.” “Well, Lreckon you are right, old man. Til go with you.” = _— —_aeh-o ete A Queer Old Cat. I am a close reader of the Advocate and in the columns of Natural history see many strange facts, and 1 will now proceed to give you a few remarkable traits of avery old cat which L have owned for many years. Ia his y u bful days he wes famous for eatching birds. He made it a business to go hunting early «very morging, and often brought in hve birds, mostly partridges; but for the last three of four years his disposi- tion has undergone quite a chunge. There is a little lead colored bird (1 believe it is called the tomtit) comes every spring and pulls hair off bis back to line her nest. I have often seen her hight on his hack and pull until her mouth was full, and he would pay no attention to her, until, I suppose, le would get tired of the fun, and would then get up and come in the horse, the bird fcilowing him tothe doer. [have iseen her, when the cat would ke lying in the door, come and get a supply tf hair, and oftentimes come on the door- a ) ) t ‘ has 1 0 Cr; o step, which is qne of the old cat's fa- vorite plac2s of repose. All my. family and several of my neighbors oi testify to the facts in this case, and if any one doubts, if he will come and sce the poor old fellow’s naked back, his doubts will be removed.—Meado, Calloway county, Ky., in Nashville Advocate. ' Paralyzed the Court. A young woman from the countr was suing her ex-sweetheart for breac of promise, and the lawyers were as usual making all sorts of inquisitive questions. “You say,” remarked one “that the defendant frequently sat very close to you?” “Yes, sir,” was the re- ply, withablusn. ‘How close?” “Close enough so’es one cheer was all the sit- tin’ room needed.” “And you say he put his arm around you?” “No I did- n't.” “What did you say, then?” “I said he put both arms around me.” “Then what?” “He hugged me.” “Very hardy” “Yes, he did so hard that I came purty near hollerin’ right out.” “Why didn't you holler?” “Cause I was afeer he'd stop.” The court fell off the bench and had to be caried out and pet under the hydrant for the purpose of resuscitation.

If you fail tosay as surely as to their elders, “Thank you,” “T beg your pardon,” or “If you please,” to achild, so certain will that ready little wit take on the conviction that politeness is not for every day use nor for home consumption. No husband has a right to read his wife’s letters, in justice to the friends who wrote them, and the woman who reads. No wife has a right to pour her husband's eoffee with her bangs entwisted in last night's curl-papers.

Crop KNOocKER’ ~—2>-- For Governor. The man that can be elected Gov- ernor in 1888 is Maj. 8. M. Finger, of Catawba county, the present Superin- tendent of public Instruction. He is a ventleman every way reliable, though very few have thought of him for Gov-! ernor. Think of it, and the more you think of him the better you will like lium as candidate for Governor. He will bear very close inspection—we know him well, and can endorse him in every respect— Charlotte Democrat. Many of our Eastern people want a niin thoroughly acquainted with the wants and condition of the people of the whole State; they want a progress- ive man; they want one who will not “shape politics” for the people of one section upon the advice of those from short, they want aman part of the people of the State, and will advise with them: on measures per- tuining to their welfare. For such a their eves toward Brazil and beckoning J. Jarvis to come hither. But Senate, he will doubtless measure arms with the genial Ransom, and if he tinds the way open to success, his East- ern friends will have to look up some one else. But they have plenty time yet to discover the man. Perhaps Major Finger will fill, the bill.—.ewe- bern Journal, You will find Maj. Finger all right in every way except he favors the Blair Bill, but as the humbug is dead (we hope for all time) he cannot bother himself much about it or do anything to pass it. He would make a fair Goy- ernor to all sections of the State. But we agree with the Journal that many people are “longing” to see JARVIS back at the head of public affairs im North Carolina.— Charlotte Democrat. Tom Jarvis! yes sir, give us another Tom Jarvis. North needs him badly’ He was aman of the peo- ple and for the people. If the east cin find another Tom Jarvis, why trot him out and the west will support him. But there are few like Jarvis; they are not hard to find where they exist for they are as shining lights set upon a hall. Carolina ns ape em Progress of the South. Dr. Melville Jackson, Virginia, in a late address on the subject of South- ern progress and civilization, gives some very interesting facts well worthy of consideration. The South has never been given full eredit for what it has accomplished in the way of recuperation from the losses of the war. It has always been cited as an evidence of the wonderful recu- perative power of France that was able to pay to Germany in so short a time the $1,000,000,000 indemnity fund de- manded of it. The South has accom- plished much more. In a single item, its slaves, it lost $2,000,000,000, while the devastations of the war were far more serious than those wrought by the German invasion of France, be- c use the struggle lasted so much longer and penetrated every portion of the Yet from these losses, which destroyed nearly all property, which were fourfold as great as the injury intlicted on France. the South has fully recovered today. It has, indeed, ad- vanced in wealth and prosperity, not only wiping out the last vestiges of the late war, but establishing new indus- tries and a new civilization. Today the South compares with any portion of the country. Dr. Jackson there are 44 paupers among England to 13 in the South, showing that even if ‘is more equally distributed here. In the former is the richer section, wealth ‘the matter of crimes, 11 are committed jit New England to 5 in the South, and _culiar position at present; a condition {cattle are brought into the State on only 44 among the whites. Moraliy and otherwise, the Southern ne States today rank with any portion of the United States and of the world.— Maine Record. — ar East and West for London. The Asheville Citizen has a very strong editorial in its issue of the 4th, inst. on the importance of North-Caro- lina’s being represented at the London- American Exhibit, to be opened in London next year. _ By all means this should be done. The views of the Citizen are entirely right. Could North eoming exhibition that she did at Bos- her people. We want immigration, but we cannot get it until we have first advertised the wealth end resources of not again present itself. Now is the time, for quoting from the Citizen: “Great Britian is industrially in a pe- of change, of doubt, of uncertainty for the future, of distress in the present, of | depression in agricultural affairs, in manufacturing interests, in commercial operations, socially and politically dis- tured, and most anxiously casting eyes around for places of refuge, of quietude and of prosperity. Change and motion are in every contemplation. Is not now the time for North Carolina to speak, to act, to be present among those ayitated elements and quiet them by demonstration of her characteristics that she can provide for the seeker after quiet, comfort and freedom, all he may desire.” North Carolina is exceedingly rich in her material resources. |At the Boston exhibit she showed a larger variety, finer quality of native woods and_ val- uable treasures from the earth, with a fairer collection of cereals, tobacco, fruits, cotton and other products than any other State there represented. Her exhibit attracted more the attention of Northern capitalists and foreigners than all else there. This is an impor- tant matter to the State. It should not by any means be neglected. Too | much economy in this matter will do us great harm, while the liberal expen- dituure of money will be of great good to us, Let us advertise our wealth, and this is the way to doit.-— Washington Prog- ress. eens Here is a Picture. South Corona is quoted by one of the leading papers of the State as a section singularly remiss in the use of its advantages. Having under their control resources which should enable them to feed the United States, the people of the State do not raise enough food to avert a famine, if the railroads should cease running fora few months. Nearly one-half of the area of the State is available for the cultivation of wheat; nearly every pound of flour consumed is made of wheat grown a_ thousand niles away, and comes taxed with the the protits of the farmer, the miller, the cooper and the railroads for the long haul. A large portion of the beef trains that run over the native cattle at every mile of their progress. Corn can be grown anywhere between the mountains and the sea, but is imported at great expense in sufficient quantity only for the people and their Kentucky mules; there is none to spare for the! hogs, and hence bacon 1s imported. Thoughfpouitry thrive inall parts of the State, turkeys are brought from Ten- nessee; spring chickens are never pleutiful, and there are parts of the State where geese or ducks are un- known. A similar neglect prevails with regard to fish food, though the | State is covered with a network of rivers. With regard to fruit and veg- etables, thousand of apples rot on the trees or on the ground in the Piedmont section every autumn. A month or two later apples are bought by the | barrel, or by the pound in sliced and dried form, from Pensylvania and New Enejand farmers. Peaches, small fruit and many vegetables are neglected, the the consequence being that the differ- ent varieties are largely imported as canned goods. The people of the State need more than samthing else to learn the lesson of the value of small indus- tries and to put it everywhere into practice.— The South. Does not some of those South Caro- lina faults lap over the N. C. boundry line? Is Rowan perfectly free from all resemblance to this South Carolina picture? It is a rather gloomy, un- progressive and altogether undesirable aspect, yet it is not overdrawn. Let each reader set about trying to remove all resemblance so far as he and his is concerned and times will get better.

No craters or fissures are visible on the floor of this valley, and it is thought that the openings are near the base of the rocy hills surrounding. a A Notable Marriage and Divorce. Social circles are freshly agitated over the news of the divorce of Minnie Tunis from her husband, Dr. Norcop. The divorce was obtained in Virginia, upon the grounds of cruelty and neg- lect, alleged in the bill of -complaint. Dr. Norcop resides in New York. He isan Enghshman by birth son of an English naval ofticer. He is handsome, highly accomplished, a graduate of medical colleges, and a gentleman of the most engaging manners. ‘The plaintiff is young and_ beautiful, and the possesor of a large fortune left her by her grandmother Tunis, of Norfolk, Va. She is the daughter of Mrs. King, who was a Miss Henderson, of Rowan county, N. C.,a lady of extraordinary beauty; thrice a widow, residing now with her daughter in Norfolk. Dr. Norcop and Miss Tunis” were. married at Hickory, in 1882, and sepe- | rated the following year, after their. return from Europe, whither they went on a bridal tour. Dr. Norcop built in Asheville a beautiful residence for his bride. They arrived from Europe one summer morning; spent an hour in their home together and parted, never more to be reunited. The story is quite romantic and sensational, and has for years been a topic of conversation in Asheville. where both parties are well | known and are favorites in society.—- | Washington Progress. oe “Can Imagination Kill?” This is perhaps, hardly the correct form of question that the British and Colonial Druggist puts to itself in dis- cussing the death of the young woman at Hackney under circumstances in which Meating’s insect powder largely figured. As the powder appears by Dr. Tidys experiments to be pertectly harmless, the suggestion is not unnatu- rally made that the deceased, who was possibly of a hysterical, highly imagi- | native turn of mind, took the powder in the full belief that by its means her death might be accomplished. The writer of the article in our contempo- rary, we think wrongly, brings forward two remarkable instances of what may be regarded as practical jokes with | melancholy terminations. In the case of the convict delivered up to the scientist for the purpose of a psycho- logical experiment (the man was strap- ped to a table and blindfolded, ostensi- bly to be bled to death; a siphon containing water was placed near his head, and the fluid was allowed to trickle audibly into a vessel below it, at the same time that a trifling scratch with. a needle was inflicted on the cul- prit’s neck; it is said that death occur- red at the end of six minutes), fear must have played no inconsiderable share in the fatal result, and we do not know whether all the vital organs were in a sound condition, though they were presumably so. The old story of the case of a college porter is also one in point. The students entrapped him into a room at night, a mock in- quiry was held, and the punishment of death by decapitation decreed for his want of consideration to the students. It is small wonder that, under the do- minion of fear and belief in the earn- estness of his tormentors, the sight of an ax and block, with subsequent blindfolding and necessary genuflexion, asmart rap with a wet towe! on the back of lis neck shonld have been followed by the picking up of a corpse. —Taneet ~<a Col.

Was given in the North Avenue M. bh. church, Alleghany, last evening, under the auspices of the Ladies’ society, for the benefit of the Woods Run M. E. church. A novel and very taking feature was the “humaniphone,” which was kept a great secret from all who were not willing to place in the door- keeper's hand the magic bit of silver -which opened the door to the ante- room on the right. Upon entering the room the heads and shoulders of nine ‘young ladies were visible above a screen extending the length of the room. All the young ladies wore masks and from their necks hung suspended a cord on which was pripted a musical note. It did not take the andience long to discover that the “humaniphone” was simply a human piano. It was played by Miss Nellie Schoyer. Witha wand she walked back and forth and each young lady uttered a different note as she touched them with a wand. In this novel manner Miss Schoyer played “Home, Sweet Home,” “Yankee Doodle” and anumber of pleasant melodies.— Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. True.

The Boston girl never says “it is raining pitehforks.” She says “it is raining agricultural implements.” The orator at the political meeting may do the most talking, but it is the men who cry “hip! hip!’ who roar. “What does boycott mean ?” inquired the teacher of a frisky youngster. The little fellow, remembering an unfor- tunate excursion to the pantry, replied: “A bad licking.” A Chicago landlord shot one of his boarders for joking about his butter.

They were totally unprepared for such a bomb shell and dv not now seem to realize the full meaning of the situation. The readers of the Observer have another view of it, The news has been broken to them very gently. The dissatisfaction of the editor with the management of affairs at Wash- ington; the failure of a séngle letter to the Secretary of the ‘l'reasury to secure the office of Assayer of the Charlotte mint, and latterly, the arraignment of the legal brethren under the heading of *O'}!

Those Yadkin Rail Read. Pursuant to the call of the President a meeting of the directors of this road was | held in Salisbury on Monday, 19th inst. There were present, Theo. F. Kluttz, President, Directors S. H. Wiley, Ne. Mauney and Wm. Smithdeal, and A. H. Boyden, Secretary. Directors, 8. J. Pemberton, KE. Mauney and John 5. Henderson, were represented by proxy. The mecting listened to propositions made by Dr. Emmens as the represen= tative of an English syndicate, propos+ ing to take contract for byilding and equipping the entire line at an early day. A provisional contract was signed and if the people along the line will come up to the help of the directors as they should, the building of this long- needed road is strongly hoped to be an assured and early fact. The plan pro- posed will necessitate the giving of the right of way, subscriptions of land along the line, subseriptions of lumber, cross-ties, labor, &c., all of which ought readily to be given. An experimental survey will be made at the earliest practicabl@ day, and if the arrange- ments can be perfected, work will be- gin vigorously before the setting in of winter. The Secretary of the Board, and the President, so far as may be practicable, will accompany the sur- veyor and talk with the people along the line, and explain more in detail what is expected. Public meetings will also be called for mutual interchange of views and information, at an early date. —-_- Officialism in Politics. The President is outspoken in his oppositien to officialism in polities. The follwing is an extract from a paper recently issued from the Winite House to the heads of departments in the service of the general government : Office holders are the agents of the people, not their masters, Not only is their time and labor due to the govern- ment, but they should scrupulously avoid in their political action, as well as in the discharge of their. official duty, offending by a display of obstructive partisanship their neighbors who have relations with them as public officials. They should also constantly remember that their party friends, from whom they have received preferment, have not in- vested them with the power of arbitra- rily managing their political affars. They have no right as office holders to dictate the political action of their party associ- ates,or to throttle freedom of action within party lines by methods and prac- neat EOS tices which pervert every useful and justifiable purpose of party organiza- tion. The influence of federal office holders | the mo t streneth are de- GE usUALLY developing clared the the people port with the people. and consent to i GCnoOIGEe Sup- votes candidates their SO chosen. This is the established usage the Party ties are necessary in or- | of the members of Democratic | party. der to secure harmony within ranks | There hike recognition of any party or policy in| and to secure concerted action. © c is a barrenness of anything buzzing Charlie's card. He hums right along, naively chlivious to surround- ing political needs, evidently intent on satisfying the gnawings of his offi- cial hunger to the utter neglect of former protestations. On the 20th of last March Col. Chas. R. said: “Demos Krateo-Democracy means that the people shall rule. The Observer 18 a Democratic news- piper. ie wlows no man to impugn its PDe- mocracy unrebuked.

When it criticises a public servant, it means what it says. Chas. R. never wrote a line through malice or disappointment; We will leave the editorial sanctum before we do.

How suc’ sentiments would have grated | on their notions and practices. The | President mandate as follows : Individual interest and activity in| po- litical affairs are by no means condem- ned. Officeholdors are neither disfran- chised nor fobidden the exercise of political privileges; but their privileges are not enlarged, noris their duty to party increased to pernicious activity by office holding. A just discrimination in the regard between the things a citizen may properly do and the purposes for which a public office should not be used | is casy, in the light of a correct apprecia- | tion of the relation between the people and those intrusted with official place, and a consideration of the necessity under our forin of govergment of political accion free from official coercion. concludes his LL 2 TI The Chattanooga Times, a republi- can paper, no doubt, takes up Senator Vance on his Tammany Hall speech, | wherein he ts quoted thus: “If the spoils don't belong the victors, whom do they belong to?

Mr. Editor :—Perhaps some facts of the northern portion of the banner township would be of interest to some of your readers. For the past week we have had fine weather for working crops. Upland corn that has been properly worked is looking well, with continued seasons will be a fine crop. Low-lands are a failure. Cotton is very backward. Wheat is being garnered; there is not more than half a crop and at least one-fourth of the re- mainder has sprouted or is damaged. Have learned by bitter experience that flat caps will preserve the wheat better than straight ones, also white wheat will sprout worse than red. Oats are not so fine after all—have raised better crops myself. Tobacco growers have been sutti- ciently interested in trying to get a stand and getting it started to grow. This is one of the principal tobacco sections in the ‘Phere was one-fourth less plant- ‘tions, but fot often changes. This isa solid section; will suprort. those who re- ceive the nominafion. \, Ittmay be toe Tate for the present, but I would suggest the name of W: A. Lentz, Esq., as 4 suitable person for- the .appointment of bridge practical workman and competent in évery way- I know no other man in the county that would do better. . YouNG FARMER. — A Pure Man For Juidze. Sauispury, N.C. July 21, 1886. Editors of the Wutchman:—If there is one department of our Government, more than any other, whose officials should excel in‘purity and integrity, itis the Judicial. We have laws ernough—and they are good enough to secure the ends of jus- tice to all our people, if properly admin- istered. It is of transcendent importance to a citizen, when arraigned before a Court of Justice, that he shall be tried be- fore a just, impartial, and able Judge. Before the war our Superior Court Judges were noted for ability and purity; and the Bench of North Carolina was renowned and revered for the fairness and righteous- ness of -its Judicial decisions. We all remember what a humilitating and dis- astrous experience we encountered when our State was under Republican domina- tion, and when untutored and ignorant blacks, under vile leadership, placed over us the worst lot of Judges that ever op- pressed a free people. We may never have such a state of affmirs again, but it behooves us, always, to guard our Judi- ciary with ceaseless vigilance. It is the duty and privilege of the electors of. this Judicial district, through delegates, soon in Convention to assemble, to name one of our Superior Court Judges. Who shall he be? I have aman in my mind to whom I wish to call spectal and favorable attention. He isan able lawyer, a suc- cessful practitioner, of fine physique, and in the prime of a vigorous manhood. He isa high type of a christian gentleman, whose private life is without blemish. He is kind and amiable in disposition, easily approached, but firm in the discharge of known duty. Sprung from excellent stock, he has shown himself to have in- herited these admirable traits of charac- ter which, blended together, mdke a fine specimen of that “noblest of God’s crea- tive power, an honest man.” Popular and beloved at home, where he is best known; respected throughout the State, in whose councils he has served ably and well; honored by our whole pecple as a brave Confederate soldier; he will not fail, if selected, to administer Justice fairly, fearlessly and ably. Let Frank Robbins, of Lexington be our next Judge. SALISBURY. | > pe _ Booming North Carolina. New York Star. COMMISSIONER PATRICK EXTOLS THE Vik- TUES AND ADVANTAGES OF HIS STATE, Mr. John T.

The building had only been completed a short time, and was situated opposite the Achenbach house on the old Mocksville road, about a mile from town. The fire caught from a barrel of hot ashes taken out the evening before, and set under the edge of the building. Miss Shelton, a sister-in-law of Mr. Breathed first discoverd the fire and waked that gentleman; but the fire had advanced so for as to render it impossible to save anything.

The people of Salisbury are beginning to look the question of a water supply squarely in the face. The visit last week, of Mr. E. H. Burlingame, an experienced water engineer, who came here recom- mended by Wilson Colston & Co., Bank- ers, of Baltimore, has thrown much light on the question. Through his practical eyes our people are made to see the ad- vantages to be gained. The town can have an abundance of water for all pur- poses, and especially as a protection against the destruction of property by fire. But the proposed system does not stop there; citizens who desire it may have pure water for drinking, and all domestic purposes, in their houses, and haye it in abundance. There are many 4 MINING DEPARTMENT. !but oneteacherand a birch switch td look after them. This combination was effec- tive in fastening the multiplication table in the memory of the average boy, and that was about as far ashe went. The free schools then were restricted to the three R’s—reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic. Now itis different. The best instruc- tion in properly graded classes is given free. If another grade be added to the school here, it should prepare pupils to enter college. Education is certainly be- coming cheap enough, and it is perhaps, perfectly right to make it as free as water, provided the tax payer is able and willing to do his part. ee ae LIST OF LETTERS.

The copper mining region confined to the counties of Person and Granville, al- though having attracted slight attention in the past, is destined to form an im- portant part in the production of metal in the State in the future. The late Dr. Emmons, formerly State Geologist, for the State of New York and also for this State, expressed the opinion in his report that this section of the State would even- tually prove a section of considerable richness. The near future will certainly prove the correctness of this assertion. The first mining done for copper in this section was at the Gillis mine, a short time before the war; but this event was the cause of suspension of operations, as was the case with many other good mines in different parts of the State. At the GILLIS mine two shafts have been sunk on the vein, one 60, the other 130. In the south shaft the vein is eighteen inches in width, in the north about five feet. The metal which the vein carries is what is known as ‘viteous copper ore,’ and carries in addition silicate of copper, green carbo- nate, and red and black oxides of copper. The oreis of avery high grade, and when properly dressed yields as high as 60 per cent. of copper. No ore has been taken from the levels since active opera- tions were suspended immediately pre- ceding the war. The BUCKEYE mine which adjoins the Gillis on the south is owned by an Ohio company, of which} —_____ Mr. W. H. Spencer, of Blue Wing, N. C.] — is the superintendent. On this property the company have sunk a shaft 45 feet in depth. The ore tetrahedrite in character. At the present depth the vein is from two to three feet in thickness and assays give 26 per cent metallic copper and five dollars per ton, silver. Work is now being prosecuted in earnest at this Pies Alexander Mrs Francis Aery Senceaser Beattle col George a Boger Mary Bonharte F C Brown William Conrad* Tony Dorsey Minnie Eddleman Pink Foster On July 15th, 1886, at the residence of D.

The plan has, of course, not been matured, but in speaking of it,as many as forty hydrants have been mentioned as proper for the protection of the town against fire. These are to be distributed to the best advantage, giving every portion of the town protection. The company represented by Mr. Bur- lingame, propose, should the town con- clude to adopt the system, to maintain also by an Ohio company. Two shafts have been sunk on this property—one 35 and the other 45 feet. Only a short dis- tance from these is the HOLLOWAY mine, now controlled by C. W. Edgeumbe, of Blue Wing, N.C. and from a report made on the same by a scientific gentle- man it is learned that two parallel veins pass through the claim for a distance of 3000 feet.

It seems to be the answer to the ‘trace of gold and about five dollars per water question.

The main shaft is in the United States, and they are now engaged in building six others, This is evidence of their reliability. On the other hand, if cisterns are built | to give anything like equal protec: | tion, the cost of their construction can- | not be less than $5.000, Then asteam fire engine would be necessary to throw | the water which would cost $5.000 more. The cost of fuel, constant attention &., will make it even more expensive and | less reliable than the system proposed. | | And the opportunity of having water in ‘each dwelling will be lost. The com- | ‘fort and coevenience of running water in lbit a number of hogs, cows, &c., all of : cue bed rooms, kitchens, closets, &c., cannot |tedwith the Beaverdam mine in Mont- | be over estimated. | Then the consequent | | | reduction of rates of insurance is an item | which must not be lost sight of. To sprin- kle the streets it would only be necessary to attach a nozzle and turn on the water. |The convenience, comfort, health, safety and prosperity of our people and town | demand a system of water works. Now \is a good time to get the matter under- |way. Turn the question over in your minds and if it is feasible, as we think it is, encourage it. Remember that no debt is created and that no_bonds will have to | be issued, ne OO == as The Southern Bivouac for August will contain an article by FE. Polk Johnson, telling of a recent visit inade to Mr. Davis at Beauvoir. The life at Beauvoir is pleasantly described, and Mr. Johnson gives at length conversations with Mr. Davis in which he speaks of Albert Sidney Johnson, of Mr. Lincoln, of the Pilgrim Fathers, and of the princi- ples involved in the Blair Bill. The article is accompanied by perhaps the best of recent portraits of Mr. Davis, a sketch of house at Beauvoir, and one of his birthplace at Fairview, Ky. General Basil Duke, relates the incidents of the retreat after the fall of Richmond. This war story has never yet been fully told, though it is one of absorbing interest. The paper describes the last council of war, the protection of the treasure train, and the gradual disintegration of the remnauts of the Southern armies. Many points of historic interest heretofore neg- lected are made clear in this narrative, and altogether it is a most important con- tribution tothe history of war. Young E. Allison will have an illustrated sketch fof the life and death of Father Ryan. Short stories descriptive of Life in the South have become a feature of the Southern Bivouac.

J*Overman, Miss Bessie Neely, Miss Florence Woodson and Miss Capitola Moose, assistants. The fall session opens about the Ist of September. It is quite probable that another and a higher grade will be added soon. The WATCHMAN does not know how the tax payers feel on this subject, but it has a very decided opinon of its own which does not approve of making the public pay for higher edueation in free schools. The present grade is sufficiently high for Ifa higher grade is added ORES BY Milling. Smelting or a free school. it should be paid for by subscription. But the tendency of the times is the oth- er way, very decidedly so. It will be no wonder to find the classics ands art taught in. the common schools of this country within the next quarter of a century. It will be done just as soon as the people will submit tothe taxation. Whether it is wise and just is another thing. The graded school as it now stands is a institution. Pe very useful and necessary The town could not do without it. Every citizen is, or should be, proud of it, for it is doing good and faithful work. The people have been educated up to the point of expecting, nay demanding the best of instruction from the Graded schools. The children and youth of the town have never before enjoyed such privileges free.

On the maps of the world you will find it not; ‘Twas fought by the mothers of men. Nay, not with cannon, or battle shot, | With sword, or nobler pen; Nay nor with eloquent word, or thought, From mouth of wonderful men. | But deep in a walled-up woman's heart— | Of woman that would not yield, 3ut bravely, silently, bore her part— Lo! there is that battle field! ‘No marshalling troup. no bivonac song; ( No banner to glean and wave! But, oh! these battles, they last so long— | From babyhood to the grave! | _ >> -- — ‘‘Recompense.”’ | INSCRIBED TO SECRETARY BAYARD IN HIS BEREAVE- | MENT. PAUL H, HAYNE. | The scythe of death has cleft his hopes tn twatn, And mowed his feld of love ULL all seems bare; Yet loss reveals an aftermath of gain, Grtef holds a benediction unaware, Of late Distrust and Envy dogged his way, Cold Misconstruction watched his course apart; All sordid passions stand rebuked to-day Before Lhe pathos of a breaking heart. While other hearts are softened by Ais pain, On Death's dark background Sympathy grows Cleur, The chaff of loss may hide some golden grain, | And grief enfold a bicssing—unaware. A Country Painter's Views on Deco- ration. | The color of the outside of a house 1s of more importance than is generally supposed, since next to the form itself, | the color is the first impression the eye receives on beholding it. The greater /number of country houses in this sec- tion have been painted white, partly because white lead is supposed to be a better preservative than other colors (though the white paint generally used lis one of the poorest in this respect) land partly because of its giving an ppearance of special newness to a / house, which with many persons, 13 1n | itself a recommedation. It is however a lereat mistake to paint a country resi- dence white. The tirst objection to white is that it is too glaripg and conspecuons. IT scarcely know anything more un- eomfortable to the eye than to approach 'the sunny side of a house on one of our brilliant midsummer days, when it revels in the fashionable purity of its leolor. Itis absolutely painful. Nature, lfull of kindness to man, has covered | most of the surface with the soft, re- lfreshing shades that everywhere per- vade the trees and grass, overhead, with the soft blue sky. and even The : | second objection to white is that 1t does not harmonize with the country, and thereby mars the effect of rural land- scapes. Hence landscape _ painters always studiously avoid the introduc- tion of white into their buildings and give them instead some neutral tint. With the ready mixed paints that are now on the market any one can suit their fancy. Of course, in speaking of ready mixed paints, | refer only to those of strictly honest qualities such asthe town and country brand of Harrison Brothers & Co., of New York. The cool drabs, grays, duns and_ olives, trimmed in the reds, browns and oran- are in perfect harmony with the Vatitude. b.

Mr. Elias is a gentleman of ability, of the strictest fidelity to his friends and his section of large acquaintance and influence throughout the State, and will certainly make an excellent Sena- tor. We congratulate the district as well as himself and our party upon the selection. — > Hot Water Artesian Well at Pesth. The deepey artesian well in the world is that now being bored at Pesth, for the supply of the public baths and and other establishments with hot water. A depth of 950 meters (3.120 feet) has already been reached, and it furnishes 176,000 gallons daily, at a temperature of loSdeg Fah. The mu- nicipality have recently voted a large gubvention in order that the boring mav be continued toa greater depth, not only to obtaim a larger volume of watar, but at a temperature of 176 deg Fah. SALISBURY, N. C., JULY 29, 1886. Vance’s Greasy Fun. Senator Vance opposes the Olemarga- rine bill, and very properly so. He made some remarks on the subject recently, which amused the Senate. Enough is reported below to give the reader an idea of the style: “T acknowledge the greatness of the cow. to the cow, which was one of my first acquaintance, and I must say to the Senate that great as she is, and wonder- ful as her products are, and benefit as she has been to the human family, I can not be made to violate the plain principles of the constitution and the ‘plainer principles of political economy .for the sake of protecting her products. ‘It is suggested, why should we protect one end of the cow at the expense of another ?” Mr. Gray: “Why should we protect ithe udder of the cow at the expense of | her ribs?” | Mr. Vance: “Very well put. Why is the product of her udder any more ‘entitled to our respect and proctection 'than the product of her ribs, when it | comes in the shape of a beefsteak? In | other words why is not the cow as great land useful when dead as when living ? It seems that she is greater, for if the | Senator from New York is to be beliv- led, like Sampson her death has caused | greater destruction than all her lifetime | wrought—the more cows slaughtered the worse the chance of the living, or | rather the less the value. Those Sena- ‘tors over there know quite as well as I ido that this bill is an outrage. Then | why do they not do their duty by vot- ling against it? ‘The reasons are ‘exi- ivencies’ and butter! Butter, hike con- | science, ‘doth make cow-herds of them jall. [Laughter.] The necessity of | grease ‘to carry New York two years from now is What makes cowdards of them all. [ Laughter. | “Mr. President, [ do not belive this in- terests is declining, but if it is declining [ do not believe that it is any more enti- tled to help than any other interest that is declining; for there is hardly a pro- duct known to our production in this country exhibited upon our markets but that has declined in the same ratio that the product of the cow has declined. But let the Senator from New York console himself with the thought that his favorite animal, the cow, is so great that no other interest in the world | could injure her but herself or her own | progeny. | “Let the Senator reflect that the glo- ries of his favorite animal, thoagh wa- ning in the pastures of New York, are Waxing mightier day by day in the wid- er praries of the west; and that no ene- my to her has been so formidable as herself. Let him commemorate the vir- tues of his lost New York love and be- wail the coming of the western charmer by reciting the touching lines of the great poct, Byron, upon the lesser one, but purer and better man, Kirk White: “Oh! what a noble cow was here undone, When Brindle’s self destroyed her favorite son ! Yes, she too much indulged thy fond pur- suit, She sow'd the seed, but death has reap’d the fruit, ‘Twas thine own genius gave the final blow, And help’d to plant the wound that laid her low, Sy the struck milker stretech’d upon the plain, No more through waving grass to browse again, Viewed her own tallow on the fatal dart, And wing'd the shaft that quiver’d in her heart.” [ Laughter. ] __———> > -— Dangerous Tendencies.

Y. Times, Rep. A Preacher's View. The Rev. Mason P. Pressley of the North United Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia says that the custom of clergymen in taking a long summer vacation has become not only an abuse but ascandal. He said ina recent sermon: “It seems strange that min- isters of religion .are alone those who insist on this annual vacation, The doctor does not take a vafation, asa rule, because he is loyal to the sick and the dying; neither, as a rule, does the lawyer. Editors. do not go away in the summer, or. if they do, they leave behind them the brain work that con- trols the mighty arm of civilization— the press. If the doctors and editors lleft there would be no one to cure the sick or minister to the needs of our in- tellectual life; and if , the reporter— loyal to the public and to his duty— remains and plods about in storm and in rain and in snow and in heat, how much more reason is there that those men who profess to be God's people and the embodiment of everything good, should walk about in our midst, in this season of evil, and carry out the work for which they were ordain- ed.” aed ———a> <> a Newspaper and Orator. Compare the orator, one of the nob- lest vehicles for the diffusion of thought with the newspaper, and you may gain a faint glimpse of the ubiquitous pow- ers of the latter. Theforator speaks to but a few hundred, the newspaper ad- dresses millions; the words of an ora- tor may die in the air, the language of the newspaper is stamped on tables imperishable as marble; arguments of the orator may follow each other so rapidly that the audience may strug- gle in a net work of ratiocination, the reasoning of the newspaper may be scanned at leisure without a fear of perplexity; the passion of the orator influences an assembly, the feeling of a newspaper eleetrities a continent, the orator is for an. edifice, the newspaper for the world—the one shines for an hour, the other glows for all time; the orator may be compared to lightning, which flashes over a valley for a mo- ment, but leaves it again in darkness, the newspaper to a sun blazing steadily over the whole earth, and fixed on the basis of its own eternity. Printing has been happily defined the art that preserves all arts. It catches up his dying words and breathes ito them the breath of life. It is the gallery through which the orator, thunders in the ears of ages. He Jeans from the tomb over the cradle of the rising gen- erations. —-l¢’rchange. >: Self Control.

As the warm weather approaches the medical journals are out in force with hygienic rules. ‘The leading medical journal of France has published a pamphlet protesting against the ex- travagant nse of artiicial mineral wa- ters, which, it sets forth, do donble damage of chilling the stomach, thus laying the foundation for gastric ceatarrh, while the limestone deposits in the carbonated waters finds its way to the kidneys and eventually produces Bright's disease. The pamphlet also protests against the use of ice water as a provocative of catarrh in the stomach. It further says: “Water should be drank cool, but not iced, with the juice of quarter or half a lemon in it. Min- eral water should always be swallowed slowly. It is not the stomach which is dry, but the mouth and throat. If you toss off a drink of water you throw it through your mouth and throat into your stomach without doing the former any good, while you injure the latter by loading it with what it does not re- quire. Drink slowly, and keep the water in your mouth fora moment when you begin. If you work in a hot ryom in hot weather tie a damp cloth around your temples, and you will not experience half the cravings for drink you otherwise would.” <> A Marriage Mix.

Troy Vidette. A Reppblican who says he is the ‘“‘son of a Republican” soldier, writes to the N. ¥. Sun, thus: “Samuel J, Tilden should be nomina- ted by the Democratic party for Presi- dent of the United States in justice to the country, in justice to the party itself, and in justice tothe man, Samuel! J. Tilden. No sane person can at this time, with the light of time and impartial judgment, doubt the gross injustice done in the year 1876 to the whole people in setting aside the honest verdict of the entire nation, as shown by their votes, electing 8. J. Tilden President of the United States. If the plea is now put forth that Mr. Tilden is too old, nominate him, and with him a Vice- President in whom the country would have confidence, say Samuel J. Randall or John G. Carlise. Hut, above all, right the mighty wrong! Iam a Blaine man, but to right and wipe out this one black spot on my country’s history I would yote for S.J. Tilden and vindicate the purity and stability of our American in- stitutions. I am convinced there are thousands like me in the Republican party. No Republican, nor the son of any Republican, will be apt to draw the people from the line of duty as it is peen by every democrat in this country. 8o far as the nomination of President 18 concerned, there is no difference of opinion. Grover Cleveland is already nominated in every Democratic heart. He will be indorsed by the people. His administration certainly has the ap-| proval of the honest people of the United States. The wniter even thinks that at heart the President is not so much of acivil service man as some woyld have us believe, but he is, by virtue of his office, obliged to execute that and all other laws, so that no mat- ter what his individual principles may be, he has nochoice in the matter. There is not a doubt but that he would veto the Blair bill. But we cannot Mauney to to the Front. From all that has beva written on the subject, it was hanlly expected that Mr. Mauney would have 2 “walk over” in Davidson, yet such seems to be the case.

Mauney is solid in Davidson.” This is a source of much gratifica- tion to Mr. Mauney and his friends, and especially so in view of the rather unfair position taken by some of the supposed influential citizens of Lexing- ton. The only thing against Mr. Mauney is that he is a Rowan man. Sad is it not, to live in Rowan. But the people of Davidson are a conserva- tive and a fair people and are govern- ed by sense rather than prejudice, consequently they voted in the primaries for their choice regardless of the county from which he came. ee Rowan Townships.

Rowan is the county of Mr. Long’s iene The above is mean, little, and a de- signed perversion of facts. The result of the primaries held in this county were published in the WaTcHMAN, and no mention of Mr. Long was made at any of the meetings, so far as the writer has been able to gather. Mr. Long is but little known in Rowan. The county convention passed a reso- lution instructing the Rowan delega- tion to cast the county vote as a unit for Mr. Mauney, and the voice of that convention will be obeyed. It is not likely that Mr. Long would be the choice even if Mr. Mauney was not. Will the Observer be kind enough to correct the inference conveyed in the above telegram ? eae ase ee Panama Canal.

He had not time to examine it, and it is not positively known what the bottle contained, but it is believed it was dynamite, and that the boat and passengers, 150 in number, narrowly escaped a fearful disaster.

Perhaps he cannot be, but oth- /ers may. Mr. Dixon will probably go into the ministry, and it was doubtless with this in view that he made the remark quoted above. It is very cer- ‘tain that a man cannot be a minister /and a polician—serving two masters— for the duties of either require all of a mans time. Mr. Dixon will be a very useful man in the ministry and his friends predict a brilliant future for him. | - The most contemptible matter now presented the American public is in the shape of leading editorials in the New | York City press.

Have! you never been seated so near a piano in a parlor or drawing room that the wires vibtated with a singing tone at every utterance made. At first this is not disagreeable, but directly it becomes noticeable and then oppressive. You dread to speak and the moment you do the strings begin rumbling until it be- comes unbearable. If the speaker continues he will soon be in a state of high nervous excitement and a head- ache will follow. The remedy is simple enough: Move away from the instru- iment far enough to prevent the wave of vibration caused by the voice from affecting the strings. Jno. Cardwell, under sentence to hang on the 30th of this month, has been released by a mob from the Wilkesboro jail. He had been twice reprieved by Goy. Scales, but was to hang as above stated. It isa high handed piece of work, to take a man, condemned to death by a court, from from the jail and release him. It is an outrage in every sense and the perpe- trators are guilty of a great offense against the law, peace and dignity of the State. en eee W.H.

However much those who knew little of the civil war are disposed to underrate the deeds of North Carolinas therein, those who were in authority during the struggle have always been enthusiastic in praise of the part North Carolina played on the battle-field. The fact has en recently illustrated again. A citizen of Tarboro, Mr. Geo. T. Williams, pol- ished up a walking cane of Edgecombe wood and sent it to ex-president Jefferson Davis. He has received an acknowledge- ment, in the course of which Mr. Davis says: “The cane is precious to me, having been cut by a North Carolina soldier who contributed to our first. vic- tory in the war, and remembers, as I do with pride, the battle of Big Bethel. North Carolina did her full duty there, and it has given me pleasure often to bear testimony to the valor and fidelity of her sons on many trying occasions.” ‘‘Scorn- ersmay sneerat and witlings defame” the good old state, of our love but, honorable men and men of information will ever hold her in the high estimation to which she is entitled,— News-Observer. Mr. Robbins and the Judgeship.. Editors Watchman:—I noticed in your paper of last week that a correspondent as well as your paper editorially spoke in en complimentary terms of me for Judge in this District, and since your County Convention of Jast Saturday, J have received letters tothe same effect from friends in Rowan, besides having been frequently approached on this sub- ject by friends in my own county. While I, of course, feel flattered by: these complimentary notices and fally appreciate them, yet I am not a candi- date, nor can I allow the use of my name for that office. I am for the nomination of Judge FR CIBeny and have so declared to my | frien » Fepeatedly and candidly. In my estimation, Judge Montgomery isan able, It is devoted to Asheville]. impartial and upright judge, and being an appointee of our Democrati¢e Govern- or, and himself a Democrat, I think it would bean ungracious and impolitic movement in the Democratic party, to displace him now. ae my cpisien: I cannot con- sent change my well-settled purpose in this matter; fad undef the uci stances I have thought this distinct state- ment of my position due both my friends and myself. I therefore beg my kind Rowan friends and all my friends no ee to us€ my name in connection with the judgeship of this District, for if nominated I could not accept. Very Respectfully, F. C. RopsBrns. The voters of Rowan had hoped to cast their vote for Mr. Robbins, or Mr. Pinnix, or for some man whom they considered worthy of support for the very responsible position of Judge. The people of Rowan do not favor the re-nommation of Mr. Montgomery and they frankly so state it. Certain things have come to the ears of the editors of this paper regarding Mr. Montgomery which, if not cleared up, necessarily forces this paper to oppose him. He certainly is aware of the fact that these things are being circulated to his damage, and more, he knows exactly who is doing it, yet he remains silent. He should vindigate himself or with- draw from the contest. Rowan County Convention. In obedience to the call of the Execu- tive committee, the Democrats of Rowan assembled at the Court-house here on last Saturday. Jas. W. Rumple, Esq., Chairman of the Committee, called the house to order and requested T. C. Linn, Esq., to act as Chairman. This gentle- man explained the object of the meeting and announced that the meeting was ready to gointo a permanent organiza- tion. On motion, the temporary chair- man was madethe permanent presiding officer and T. K. Bruner and Theo. Buer- baum were elected Secretaries. J. W. Rumple, Esq., then offered the following resolution, which was adopted : Be it Resolved:—Vhat it is the sense of this convention that all persons allowing their names to be presented to it and therein voted upon are pledged to abide its action; ‘That it is made the duty of any candi- date for democratic nomination to an- nounce his intention to violate the action of this convention, in the event of his un- successful candidacy, before he permits his name to be placed in nomination and voted upon. D. R. Julian then moved that the con- vention proceed by nominating the county officers first, which, after a'brief discuss- ion, was adopted. The chair then directed the Secretary to call the roll of townships, and finding all represented, announced that the con- vention would proceed with the nomina- tions, beginning with the county repre- sentative in the lower house of the Legislature. The Secretary was reques- ted to call the roll of the townships, and the chairman of the delegation from each was requested to vote for the choice of the township. The result of the ballot was: Overman 88, Sloan 12, and Stansill 4. Mr. Overman was declared the choice of the convention. Maj. Stansill then moved that the nomination be made unanimous. Carried. The following county officers were then unanimously elected in the same way: For Sheriff—C. C. Krider. For Clerk of Court—J. M. Horah. For Reg. of Deeds—H. N. Woodson. For County Trceasurer—J. Sam’]. Mc- Cubbins, Jr. For Coroner—D. A. Atwell. There were two candidates for the office of County Surveyor, the ballot re- sulting as follows: B. C. Arey 68, J. C. Bernheart 36. The chair declared Mr. Arey the choice of the convention. The next nomination to be disposed of was that of aSenator for Rowan and Davie. The chair ordered a call of the roll of the townships, resulting as follows: Shober 49, Hobson 21, McCubbins, (Sr.,) 4, Kluttz 20, Blackmer 10. The chair an- nounced no election, and ordered a second eall of the roll. Before this roll call Theo. F. Kluttz, Esq., thanked the convention for the complimentary vote which had been made in compliance with the in- struction of the primary meetings, and asked the delegates to consider them- selves no longer bound by instructions, as he was not a candidate before the con- vention. Proceeding with the roll call the result was as follows: Shober 73, Hobson 21, Blackmer 10. The chair an- nounced Hon. F. E. Shober the choice of the convention for the office of Senator. On motion of Dr. Poole the nomination was made unanimous. The following resolution was then in- troduced by Kerr Craige, Esq., and was unanimously adopted, as follows: Resolved, That our fellow citizen, the Hon. John S. Henderson, has proven himself an able and faithful Representa- tive in Congress, and we hereby pledge him our hearty and united support for re-election. Mr. Chas. D. Crawford then offered the following resolution which was unani- mously adopted, as follows: Resolved:—That the delegates to the Ju- dicial District Convention be and are here- by instructed to cast the vote of Rowan asa unit for John W. Mauney, Esq., for Solicitor. On the question of delegates to the Congressional convention, it was moved that each township be represented by one half of its representative strength t. e. one delegate to each two votes. Carried. The chairman of the township delegations were requested to hand in the names, as instructed in the motion just carried. The following is the list of delegates to the Congressional convention : SALISBURY—E B Neave, Dr J R Keen, W & Kluttz, W R Barker, J F Pace, DR Julian, C D Crawford, Joseph Horah, JR Crawford, Dr H T Trantham.

LockKE—C H McKenzie, W J Brown, J F Robinson. The Chair appointed a committee of three, consisting of Messrs Rumple, Ju- lian and Craige, to prepare a list of dele- gates to be submitted for the approval of the convention; said list to be Rowan’s delegates at both the Judicial and State conventions. The following list was sub- mitted and appproved: L S Overman, J F Ross, C R Barker, S J Swicegood, JW Rumple, DR Julian, J D Gaskill, Thos Ray, Jno Sloop, J J Newman, Jas Monroe, Jas MeKenzie, H C Bost, J A Clodfelter, Jesse W Miller, Dr C M Poole, Wilson Trott, S N Wilson, J C McLean, J A Earnheart, P D Linn, Dan’l Roseboro, J K Culbertson, Frank C Mauney, N B McCanless, Alex Morgan, T B Beall, N N Flemming, Jno O Houston, Geo Hall, Maj Stansill. Alternates: Dr I M Taylor, L H Clement, B C Arey, TC Linn, Doug- las. Roseman, Luke Blackmer, Joseph Barber, Kerr Craige, J C McCanless, C D Crawford, F E Shober, J K Graham. On motion it was agreed that all Democrats attending the State conven- tion from Rowan be considered as dele- gates. On motion of J K Graham, a commit- tee, consisting of one representative from each township, was appointed to confer with Davie as to the Senatorial nomina- tion, with power to calla meeting at South River for such{conference. The chair appointed J K Graham, Jno Sloop, Wilson Trott, C D Crawford, Cornelius Kestler, J J Newman, Dr L W Coleman, Jk Culbertson, W G Watson, W L Kestler, A H Henly, C H McKenzie, J Rowan Davis, on this committee. % * Col. F. E. Shober being called, made a stirring speech, reassuring and encour- aging to the Democrats, and contrasting the present with former administrations. He proposes to go into the canvass with all the energy at his command. He ex- plained that he had not sought the nomi- nation, but that he felt, since it was so flatteringly tendered him, he could not, in justice to those who has so frequently honored him, decline the nomination. He made, as he always does, an able ad- dress. LL. S. Overman was then called and responded in his usual happy style. He thanked the people for honoring himfthe third time with their confidence as their representative in the Legislature. He reviewed the present situation under Mr. Cleveland, as against the preceding ad- ministrations. He showed what a reform- er Cleveland was and told how much had been saved to the people since the advent of his administration. I{[e prom- ised to be with Col. Shober when the time comes to make the canvass of the county, and to talk to the people when they had more time to listen. No further business the meeting ad- journed. T.C. Linn, Chairman. T. K.

[Correspondent of the Charlotte Observer. ] Judge Montgomery has asserted that if it becomes necessary, to bring action against a certain Life fusurance Company to recover the amount of insurance on the life of a citizen of Cabarrus county, recently deceased, he would resign his position as Judge to act as counsel for the claimant of the insurance money. I am attorney” for the Insurance Company and it will resist the claim on just and perfectly legal grounds. The action must be brought ior claimant to recover. Ican and will, if it becomes necessary, substantiate Montgomery’s as- sertion by the affidavit of a most truthful man. If Judge Montgomery meant and spoke the truth when he made said assertion, he must soon resign his Judgeship, if nominated at Lexington on August 4th, and elected in November. If he does not resign to serve as counsel in this action, his assertion was false. The Judge can take either horn of the dilemma he pleases. If he intends to try to show himself a man of truth I consider it trifling with the people of the Eighth Judicial District to ask them to nominate him for Judge at Lexington on August 4th; when, if a truthful man, he must resign; and, ifhe is not a truthful man, he is not fit for the position of Judge of the Superior Court. If he keeps his word, and_ does resign his Judgeship, he will be doing a gross | injustice to honorable members of the bar | of the Eighth Judicial District, some one of whom will accept the nomination at Lexington, will be elected and serve out his term. : Since his appointment as Judge, acting for the claimant in this prveeeoNe action, Montgomery, on the 7th day of April 1886, filled up the ‘‘notice and proof of claim” for claimant, which I hold in his own handwriting, and otherwise busied him- self about this cause of action just as a regular practicing lawyer would do. Maybe, in this though, he has private reasons for his action. Still, I consider it conduct unbecoming a Judge and one being a candidate for the nomination for that exalted office. Despising amnoymous communications and writers, I am, respectfully, WILL G. MEANS. Concord, July 26th, 1886. ee ee The Mexican War Cloud. MEXICAN TROOPS SURREPTITIOUSLY MOVED INTO PASO DEL NORTF, Et Paso, Texas, July 25.—The excite— menton both sides of the river, among | Mexicans as well as Americans, has been so | erent that both governmertts have con- cluded, forthe purpose of allaying it, to conduct further negotiations without pub- licity. Soldiers continue in large numbers in Paso del Norte, Mexico. Theslcepy old place wears a martialan air as it is poxsible for such a relic of antiquity to gssume. In marked contrast to this neryous exhibition of military power in Paso del ; Norte, and in contrast tothe eager and excited interest taken in this international question by the citizens of El Paso, is the supremely calm demeanor ofthe United States authorities at Fort Bliss, within a Mexico, on the other side of the shallow mountain stream that can be waded just now with the greatest ease. To look at Fort Bliss to-day nobody would imagine that within one mile of it a hostile city was bustling with armed men, breathing vengeance against the “Americanos.” Surreptitiously a train-load of troops from Chibuahua, that had been massed and announced Friday night as being on the way to Paso del Norte to increase the Mexican army of observation, arrived there at daylight Saturday morning. There is no knowledge as to how many more may follow, as the Mexicans are adept in keep— ing intended military movements quiet and dark. Cutting is in jail at Paso del Norte. A Mexican, named Medina, who insulted the American consul’s clerk, has been in the same jail for that offense. the impression of his imprisonment got out at the time it did, as it helped materially in allaying the excitement on the Texas side of the river, which was just then at fever heat. He was tried, found guilty of creating a disturbance and fined. Cutting was brought before judge Cas- teneda last evening and informed that his case had become of such national impor- tance that it would have to be transferred to the first district court, where sentence would be pronounced at some future day. Consul Brigham tried to learn when the trial would take place, but he ceuld get no satisfaction. Itis now thought that Mexico is determined not to give Cutting up. It is rumored on the streets of Paso del Norte that a train load of troops, with a park of artillery, is approaching the city from Chihuahua, The stiuation begins to look very serious. EE eae District Convention. The Democratie Executive Commit- tee of the 7th Congressional District, met in Salisbury last week, and decided to hold the District Convention in Salisbury, on Tuesday the 3d day of August, for the purpose of nominating a candidate to represent this District in the House of Representatives of the next Congress. L. H. CLEMENT, Of the Ex-Com. July oth, 1886. ee ee A WISE REFORM. The habit of administering quinine in powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial maladies, practice has undergone a wide reform. Not only the public, but profes- sional men have adopted, not wholly of course, but largely, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a safe botanic substitute for the pernicious alkaloid. The consequences of this change are most important. Now fever and ague sufferers are cured—former- ly their complaints were only for the time relieved, or half cured—the remecy event— ually failing to) produce any appreciable | effect, except the doses were increased. A course of the Bitters, persistently followed, breaks up the worst attueks and prevents their return, The evidence in favor of this sterling specific and household medicine is of no ambiguous character, but positive and satisfactory, and the sources whence it proceeds are very numerous, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAR- OLINA.

The story here quoted was origi- nally told in Dublin society. The last course had been served at a certain-grand banquet when his Grace is stated to have said to his daughter, with Roe slight agitati 1on,— daughter.” Walt" : “I fear that I am threatened with one of my bad attacks.” Vy liye Ai Hae been pinching my knee for the last five minutes, and I cannot feel the slightest sensation.” “Make your mind easy, your Grace,” rejoined a person on the other side. “Why so?” “It was my knee you were pinching all the time!” “my ee A Sharp Fool. “I oughter hab my head knocked off wid er hickory stick!” exclaimed an old negro addressing a white man whom he met in the street. “What is the matter, Bob?” “Er nuff matter, sah, ter make a man cuss tell Satan comes airter him.

Dr. James Camerom has reported the results of observations tending to show that cows may suffer from a peculiar, hitherto undescribed, infectious disease, and that consumers of milk of these cows may get scarlet fever. His atten- tion was attracted to the subject by an outbreak of scarlet fever which occur- red ina certain district in and near London. It was found that the families in which the fever appeared used the milk from a certain dairy, the cows of which were affected by the peculiar disease in question. The disease is not exactly anew one, being known to farmers 4s “sore teats,” “blistered teats,” etc., but its nature has not been recog- nized. In veterinary text-books it 1s spoken of “erythema mammillarum.” r. Cameron believes it to be a specitic pentane affection occurring usually in the first instance among newly calved cows, and capable of being com- municated, to healthy cows by direct inoculation of the teats with virus con- veyed by the hands of cowman. The disease may continue from four to six weeks, and is characterized by general constitutional disturbance, a short initia- tory fever, a dry, hacking cough, some- times quickened breathing, sore throat in sevrer cases, discharge from the nos- trils and eyes, an eruption on the skin round the eyes and hind quarters, vesicles on the teats and udder, altera- tion in the quality of milk secretion, and well-marked visceral lesions. As itis admitted, we believe, that scarlet fever may be disseminated by milk, the importance and interest of Dr. Cameron's observations are at once apparent. Scarlatina has been described by Professor Barlow as affecting the cow, er residenin’ at de pressen’ y more like that of purpura hemorrhag- ica.— Medical Record. oe Don't Whitewash the Trees. New Berne-Journal. An experienced arbor culturist has re- quested us to call attention of the city authorities and the people generally to a mistaken idea, sometimes practiced, of whitewashing trees. This gentleman states that it is injurious to all trees to whitewash them, and well-nigh ruin- ous to many varieties. The elm, he says, is seriously injured by it, and states that any one doubting this may be convinced by observing those in front of the residence of tT. EE. Mace, on Johnson street, near the academy green. The coating of the trees with any- thing that excludes the atmosphere from the bark has much the effect as would the application of a coat of mu- cilage or varnish to the skin of an ani- mal; it checks the exhalation by stop- ping up the pores, and does a positive injury. But for the relief. which na- ture affords by the rain, sunshine and wind in rapidly removing these ob- structions to tle exercise of its own laws in and through the bark of the tree, the consequences of whitewashing would be so apparent as to at once ef. fect a discontinuance of the practice. Yet with all these powerful agencies in behalf of the tree the bad effects are visible to an observant eye and if re- peated frequently in all cases of young trees, death will follow. Paragraphers Plea. A Western exchange tells its readers how “to mind their P's,” in the follow- ing paragraph: “Persons who patronize papers should pay promptly, for the peu prospects of the press have a uliar power uw ushing forward pub- peepee the pote is paid SrGHE y, and his pocketbook hept ple- thoric by pr paying patrons, he puts his 11s paper a peace; his fe phs are more pointed; he paints is pictures of passing events in more pleasing colors, and the perusal of his paper is a pleasure to the people. Paste this piece of proverbial philosophy in some place where all persons can per- ceive it.” _——~-_-____ It is better to die than to live with- oil or kerosene, will protect it from The Lumber World says ae oiling wood with linseed oil, or even with coal worms. It was found by exact measurement that a chimney near Marseilles, France —115feet high and 4 feet diameter at the top—reached a maximum oscillation of twenty inches during a high wind. St. Peter’s Cathedral, just finished at Moscow, has five cupolas, and 900 pounds of gold were used in overlaying them. The doors of the temple cost $310,000, and the marble floors $1,500-, 000. Various tests of the new French ‘| horssahoes which is made entirely of sheep's horn, show its value for horses used in towns and known to have an unsteady foot on pavements. Horses thus shod have been driven at a rapid pace on the pavements without sli ping. Besides this advantage, it is said to be more durable and but a trifle more expensive than the ordiniary horse shoe. A new and rather curious applica- cation of the steam-whistle has been ae at the Jacksonville, Illinois, In- stitution for the Deaf and Dumb. A whistle four feet in length and twelve inches in diameter has been placed on the pinnacle of the boiler house and is used as signal to awaken the inmates of the institution, ete., who although they cannot hear, are made sensible ‘of its various signals by the vibration it gives to the buildings. {What must it “be to people who hear? ] An invention which, it is claimed by gas engineers, will revolutionize the present system of gas lighting has just ea perfected by Dr. Aner in the chemical laboratory of the Vienna University. Briefly described, the in- vention may be said to consist in ren- dering a cotton-wick incombustible by impregnating it with a metallic liquid. ———— _ “Ma, has antity got bees in Her | mouth?” “No: why do you ask such a question?” “Cause that little man, with a heap of hair on his face, catched hold of her, and said-he was going to take the honey out of her lips; und she said: “Well, make haste.” DYSPEPSIA BEST TONIC Quickly and completely Cures Dyspcpeta in all ie forms, Heartburn, Belching ne, the ‘ood, etc. It enriches and purifies t! the imu- Iaiea the he apuetite, and aids the aeamauation 6 of oot OSSITFR, the honored ae Minin Church, Baltimore, ia an * Having used Brown's Irun Bitters for Tee and Indigestion 1 take yrext pleasure in recom- mendin, Also consider it a splendid tonic and invigoratur, and very strengthening.

Then followed rapid in- quiries after the health and wel- fare of old friends in Kentucky, during which the clear memory of the man was shown. Calling them by their baptismal names, he would ask after the children of his former friends whom he had not seen for vears. These sane boys and girls whose names he so readily recalled are now the parents of the grand children of those whom Mr. Davis knew in the vears when he was most familiar with Kentucky. He ap- pears to have a remarkable mem- ory for names. Relating an in- ‘cident connected with his not i very remote visit to his birth- Iplace, at Fairview, in Christian County, Kentucky, he gave a chappy illustration of this faculty. He said at the old-fashioned bar- becue given in his honor during his visit, much attention was shown him by certain elderly ladies of the neighborhood which Ihe had left when a boy of eight years. One lady was especially attentive and anxious that no one of the vians should fail to preach the guest. As the dinner progressed, his mind reverted to his boyhood days.and he reeall- hed a sunny-faced little girl whom he had called his sweetheart at ‘the mature age of cight years, she being, perhaps. a year young- her. So he asked the lady, “What had become of Patty Bell?” A blush of gratified pride swept over the dear old lady's face as she responded, “Why, Mr. Davis ‘Tam Patty Bell.” Not the hon- ‘ors won on the ficld in Mexico, the eivie crown earned in the Senate, nor the high duties of a ‘proud presideney had driven from his mind the name of the little beloved one, though Time with a mereiless hand had ecarv- ed strange lines upon her face Vily, then going away to find her when they two met again upon | the declining slope of life. | War Pictures. A Company has been organized in Cineinnati, under the auspices of the | famous scenic artist of that city, Matt | Morgan, to present a series of accurate and historie pictures of the decisive battles of the late war between the | States. | These great pictures, now approach- ing completion for the Northern Vic- tories, are to be exhibited throughout the country under the direction of competent lecturers: well known officers of both armies. And itis with the same ex- perienced assistance combined with the | data of accepted historical records, and | the abundant valued contributions from the veterans of both sides, that the brilliant artist, Matt Morgan [the favorite pupil of the celebrated London scenic artist, Stansfield.] places upon canvas. with wonderful yet truthful effect, the thrilling scenes of the drama! of the eivil war. | | | | . | To the undersigned has been en- trusted by Mr. Morgan the pleasant task of gathering together the mate- rials to be used by the artist in delin- | eating the victories of the southern | Armies, and he will also superintend | the painting of the same. These immense pictures will include among others, the exact representation | of the capture of Fort Sumpter; The | First Manassas; The First Day at! Shiloh; Gaine’s Mill; The Second | Manassas; Sharpsburg; Frederickburg; Chancellorsville; The Second Day at Gettysburg: Chickamanga; Kennesaw Mountain, and the Naval Battle be-/ tween the “Virginia” and the “Con- gress and “Cumberland.” | No Southern victories have ever been | painted upon such a large scale: the pluck, heroism, and devotion of the Southern soldier and officer have never been represented on canvas, It is amportant, however, in this en- terprize, in order to give these repre- sentations a character of personal in- terest to the surviving comrades, and to those who fondly cherish the memories of fallen heroes, that there shotld be as many as possible of the faces and forms of the gallant soldiers engaged in the several conflicts, who can — be readily recognized. The artist makes | this a special feature in all the battle svenes he so strikingly and so attrac- tively delineates. Accordingly, I have the honor to re- qnest the surving officers and soldiers of the late Confederate armies, to send to me,at No. 86 Carondelet Street.

Utilize your ovely French Broad and your eupho- neous Swannanoa, then operatives, and spindles will not long be silent for want of hands to make them buzz.” “What do you think of Western North Carolina so much as you have already seen.” " “The pen of a Longfellow nor the brush of a Messonnier can do it justice. Here I sit and watch nature, in all of her grand formations. Wonderfully grand and majestic these silent senti- nels of God's own handiwork—beauti- fuland charming these fertile valleys ripe with the golden grain of harvest time, refreshing and soothing these mountain streams of pure chrystiline water wending their way to the ports of commerce navigation and trade, restful and passive Skyland with pano- ramas of floating beauty in eyer chang- ‘ing cloud, recuperative and health- restoring this oxyginated and balsanie air fresh and uncontaminated giving new zest to lifeand building up worn out tissues of the human frame.” “Are you favorably impressed with this place—the metropolis of the sky— as a place of resort for the invalid and the health-seeker?” “It is indeed a garden of recupera- tion. All the conditions seem favora- ble. If there is any one who is so constituted so that enjoyment can be had in life and can't tind it here, rest assured such a person will not be able to tind enjoyment in Heaven when he cets there. What more can one ask for than heathfal climate, pure air, good water, unsurpassed scenery and congenial people. Western North Caro- lina to-day offers more solid comfort, hope and happiness to the invalid and health-seeker than th whole Materia Medica from the time of Escalapis down to the present time.” “You think then, Doctor, that we have a region here especially adapted to persons in quest of health, besides a ‘country offermg inducements to the pleasure seeker and the tourist.” “Unquestionably, and there is no “reason why in winter the people of the Northern States should not tlock here to inhale the pure mountain air and es- cape the rigid winters of our section and on the other hand the people of your low-lands—from the States espe- cially of Georgia and Florida, and in fact throughout the whole territory of South ‘should come here in the pare for the duties of life devolving upon them.

New York Times. Raleigh, N. ., July 25.— A new and important question has been raised un- der the local option law sined liquor was voted out of Raleigh Township. The law makes it unlawful to sell liqnor until the result of said elections has been reversed by an election. There is a corporation m this township known as the “Capital Club.’ and, among other things incidental to the main social purposes, the said club fur- nishes refreshments to its such as liquor, wine. beer, cigars, and weals. for their convenience and ae- commodation, ata price fixed by the Honse Committee, intended to be just I find | members | Industrial School. . Raleigh has been selected as the loca- tion for the industrial school tobe es- tablished by the State of North Caro- lina. The decision of the board to put this school into operation without any further delay is a very wise step. The South needs industrial schools, and every one that is established adds to the prosperity of its people. With the rapid development of industrial inter- ests there is an increasing demand for young men of goal technical educa- tion. Unless the South makes provi- sion for preparing her own people for such work, the demand must be sup- plied from other sections. The full importance of preparing the rising generation for the thousands of open- ings for profitable employment that the industria] development of the South is making, ought to be fully impressed upon the business men of that sec- tion. The young men of the South have a wide field of employment open- ing before them, but training is needed to enable them to fill,the most respon- sible positions, or else they will only be “hewers of wood and drawers of water,” while others reap the benetits of thor- ough technical education.—Baltimore Manufacturers Record. a From “the Wilson N.

Yes the man who can make a gleam of joy mp- ple o'er the wrinkles of care, and paint oné star of cheer in the sky of gloom is to be appreciated, for humor is that bland philosophy of life, which knits up the tangled threads of trials, smoothes over the asperities of trouble, and sweet- ens the acerbities of bitterest natures.

Louisville Courier Journal. The average Englishman is a snob. From the duke to the costermonger, each order in this vast series of social strata licks the foot of the order above it. The English male is a selfish bully. The English woman is a slave. The. warp and woof of English society 1s a sham. But, while the purse holds out, it is resplendent indeed. The bully in the men makes good soldiers. The power of England is undeniable. The slave in the woman, when she does not elope, makes excellent housewifery. The domestic fabric of England is respectable and orderly. But the Church, the State, and the home, bailt | upon a complex feudal system, depend | upon the poise and balance of classes in the relation which now exists, and which, with trifling incidents not se- | riously disturbing the personal life of England, has existed since Magna Charta. Asan American, I have no right. and certainly have no wish, to coni- plain of this, or to criticise it. If I do not like it, as I do not, I can lump it. England was made for Englishmen. SS A Saw without Teeth. A saw without teeth, that will cut a steel rail in two minutes, Is in opera- tion at the Central Hudson shops in Green bush, N. Y. The saw is run by a ninety horse power engine, more power than is required to run all the other machinery in the shops, and is 38 inches in diameter and three-eights of an inch thick at the edge. The disk is made of gBessemer steel, and runs ata high rate of speed. While in operation a band of fire encircles the saw,and the many sparks flying from the revolving disk resembles ¢ display of pyrotechnics. To keep the saw cool and prevent it from cracking, a tank of water is placed above the machine, from which asmall stream runs down and drops on the saw while in motion. By this plan one saw will cut nearly 3,.C00 rails before it is worn out. A steel rail, after about six years’ constant use becomes battered at the ends, and by cutting them off the rails ean be used in branch and switch tracks. Rails are cut by this machine for the whole line of the Central Hud- son railroad. The saw, while cutting, bears down hard on the rail. the end of which is left as smooth as the bottom of a flat-iron. One remarkable thing about the machine is that the chips cut from the rail fly back under the saw with such force as to form a solid piece of steel nearly as firm as the rail itself. —Sclentific American. —-——-_- A Zuni Priestess in, Washington.

This cncroach- in, burning and painful sore on my lip was pronounced Epithelial Cancer by the prom- inent physicians in the section, which stnbbornly resisted the best medical talent. About cighteen months ago a cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, which could not be allaycd by the ordinary modes of treatment. These sufferings of misery and prostra- tion became so great that, on the 18th of July, a leading physician said that I could not live lenger than four days, and I had about given up in dispair, The burning and excruciating ravages of the cancer, the painful condition of my back and breast, and the rapid prostration of my whole system combined to make me a mere wreck of former manhood, While thus seemingly spspended on a thread between lift and death, Ieommenced the use of B.B.B., the grandest blood med- red umbrella was shut up with a snap and stowed away somewhere in the folds of the blue blanket dress, while from another hidden pocket she drew forth a black cotton umbrella. which she hoisted in place of the red one, and resumed her swinging walk with her usual stolid composure.

It is the delight of her life to get away from the people with whom she is stopping to go for a several hours’ tour of the stores.

The only talk that suitsa man is the speech he makes while lying in bed the night after the ‘‘occasion,” while he rolls otf, without effort, eloquent and witty sentences he never thought of when on ‘his feet and facing his audience. Alas! it’s too late, ‘“‘The season fair ne’r re- turns.’’ Thackeray used to say he could ‘make the best speech every heard half an hour after the banquet where he broke down.

We would feel free to advocate that desirable chaug® but we do not understand how any onc who opposes the renomination of the supreme court can consistently advocate increasing the number of justices. We know that judges Smith, Ashejand Merri- mon can do the work in the future, for they have done it in the past. But still we think the work is too heavy even for them. Most of the gentlemen whose names have been mentioned as suitable successors to them could not stand up un- der the work at all, and if they should be nominated, the bench would necessarily have to be increased. We think under the circumstances that the best solution is to renominate the present justices who can do the work, and {then to let the legislature next winter submit a proposition to the people for an amend- ment tothe constitution increasing the number of justices, It would seem, how- ever, that those who oppose the renomi- nation of the present court, from the na- ture of the case must oppose this desired increase.— Ral. News-Observer. There is no doubt as to the Supreme Court Judges being greatly over-work- ed. The solution to the question is probably stated above. There should be five instead of three on the Supreme bench. Two younger men might be added now and others when vacancies occur, which should be regulated by law, so that only one vacancy occur at a time. In this way the personel oi the Court would change slowly and the the work would not suffer by these changes. Let the next Legislature in- posed towards the inferior race. Paralysed for Blasphemy. WHEELING, W.

Wilcox’s farm, with others in the vicinity, was visited by a heavy storm 0: wind and hail on Thursday afternoon, which beat down and ruined almost al] his crops. Wilcox was absent from home at the time, and when he returned and surveyed the ruin in the ficlds about him, he gave vent to the most fearful oaths, cursing God for allowing and causing the destruction. In the midst of his ravings he fell to the earth, and when his family and friends ran to his aid he was found suffering from a stroke of paralysis. On attempting to raise him from the earth they found the soil so hot about him that they could not tread upon it with comfort, and the end of a pole with which he was pushed away was charred and blackened. Wilcox was finally got home, where, Thursday night, he went crazy, and is now a maniac, writhing continually in terribly agony, almost helpless. ee a Northern vs. Southern Prejudices.

It is 65 feet in depth and ordinarily carries from 28 to 30 feet of water, and I am informed was tunnelled some fect in the bottom for the purpose of increasing the water supply. Lam also informed that strong springs or fountains were struck in making this well, and that it will yield many thousand gallons of water per day. If these be facts, then we have a water supply at a point most desirable of any other place within the cayporate limits, and the only question remaining to be considered is simply to utilize what we have. Jiow can it be done within the reason- able cost to which the town would read- ily consent. I answer, fall baek on the original design contemplated when the well in question was nade. What was that? A tank erected at sufficient height over the well to obtain pressure for tire and domestic purposes. How would that look right in the center of town? That depends upon how it is built. it is on the simple, unadorned plan ofthe rail road tank, it “would not “look” very well. But while the principle would necessarily be the same, the plan with the bitter end. We do not believe in needlessly calling | up race issues or demanding that the, color line in politics be drawn between the two races. Heretofore, in North | Carolina elections, the colored voters | have nearly all been on one side against the whites amongst whom they | toilend suffer and are happy.

In conclusion, Messrs Editors, I am very much of the opinion that the only objection to the original design of which I have been speaking for a water supply for the town, is to be found in the tact that the well itself, through a series of) remarkable blunders in the construction, cost the town the enormous sum of nearly $3,000-—incurring, thereby, the unreason- | able prejudice of a few shallow talkers who delight more in ridicule than in reason, and can do more in running down than in building up anything.

Now, you nearly all the children neatly dressed, lintelligent and respectful to their elders, and ina fair way to grow up into respec- ted and useful citizens.

BRUNER, EDITOR. | Mr. Thomas Cotton now has. the superintendence of the Beaverdam gold |Mining property, at Flaggtown, Mont- gomery county. Superintendent A.C. Mauney, of the Gold Hill mines, was in Salisbury on Ife came to ship one ‘hundred and fifty-five ounces of bullion 'to the London owners. He said it was the result of twenty days work. It must be remembered that the Gold Hill ores ;are complex sulphides and that this is simply the free gold saved by ordinary mercury amalgamation. The wealth of the ore is in the sulphides. Yadkin Chlorination Works. Mr. John Jacobs, superintendent of the Yadkin Chlorination Works, located near ‘Salisbury, is of the opinion that chlori- ination as a method, practical and relia- ible, is growing in public favor. It is, | par excellence, the method for extracting | gold from the richer pyrite, chalcopyrite | and other complex ores commonly found in the gold tields of the Virginias, Caro- linas and in Georgia. It is not the meth- | od for the low grade coniplex ores, since the cost per ton of reducing and extrac- iting is about equal to the average value | of the low grade ores of the south. But jin the vast territory enumerated above | there are millions of tons of sulphide ores }of sufficient value to be worked by the | chlorination process with a reasonably fair profit to the miner. This is not aran- dom remark, but is based on information gotten by an investigation of the process /and from deductions drawn from the re- | turns of ore actually worked by the prc- ;cess from the gold regions of different | southern states. The fact that Georgia | produces a sulphide ore of sufficient rich- | hess to justify mining, shipping, draying jand chlorinating, isan encouraging fact and should hasten the development of sulphide ores in that State. Ores from that State have have been sent to the Yadkin ;Chlorination Works and have yielded a reasonable return to the miner. And so with ores from the other states. The Works fitted out with the Meares Chlorination Process, on which Mr. Davis, of Philadelphia, (chief owner of the Yad- kin plant,) has made some important im- ;provements. Just now the works are receiving a consignment of cobbed and | | | are concentrated ores from the famous Rudi- sil mine in Mecklenburg county. The management of the Gold Ifill mines in this county, (Rowan) have under con- sideration the question of Chlorinating ;their complex ores, and will probably ‘test the process thoroughly. Mr. Jacobs lis confident that he can save the gold for them. The present appliances for saving gold at the mines of the Gold Hill com- pany suited to the ore—at least does not save a large enough percentage to justify a continued use. By carefully concentrating the residuum of the present are not amalgamating plant, and treatmyg it by the chlorination process the best possible results would be obtained. ; INTEREST IN MINING, There is seldom more interest: manifes- jted in mining in this State than at pres- Prospecting parties of practiced miners, of students of science from Yale ent, jand other leading institutions of learning in America, of capitalists from various parts of this country and;from) England, are traveling over the State in search of gold, silver, copper,iron, the rarer useful minerals and for investments of various kinds. Indeed this is not confined to minerals, but increased interest in agri- cultural lands, forests, water-powers and stock raising. The light of the progres- sive and industrial ra now dawning all over the south has touched the azure hill There }is a great future in store for that section. tops of Western North Carolina. FALSE PSEUDOMORPHS OF QUARTZ. This is the title of a paper prepared by Prof. W. E, Hidden, of Siony Point, Alexander county, N.C., and published in the ‘School of Mines Quarterly” for July of this year. In nearly all of the works treating on the mineralogy of the State mention is made of psceudomorphs of quartz after barite, calcite and et cetera. About this there been a division of opinion. Specimens of these has always pscudomorphs, so-called, are of great interest, and ever varying their inconstant angles, and for being al- most invariably hollow, like geodes.” Many of these were water-bearing and were much sought by collectors. Prof. Hidden has made a careful study of all ithe localities in this State and in Georgia, are “conspicuous for their and unsymmetrical forms, where pseudomorphous quartz has been found and promulgates this conclusion: “that these forms of quartz are pseudo- norphs of the interstices between crystals of some unrecognised hexagonal mineral that lerystallized in thin flat tabular forms.” He | i that ‘‘Sections of many tof these water-bearing crystals (?) pre- | sent aninteriorofbright transparent crys- itals, or of mammillary chalcedony; while goes on to say | thestructure of the walls is semi-radiated from the exterior, Careful exainination of the surfaecs, particularly of the forms I starts to be a better man and hestumbles ; from Georgia, shows a bright series of i : fo ey eee ee . on some demijolm or pint botde and) triangular markings (angles 60°) on all of May, 1Sb2 to first of Jun e, 1863, the W.

This is the heading of half a column devoted by Pomeroy’s Democrat to those who do not in any way support their local papers. Many of the para- graphs are witty and all are to the point.

He Hadn't Been at Gettysburg. M. Quad., in Detroit Free Press. “No, I didn't lose that leg in the war,” replied a stranger yesterday, as he leaned up against the cold wall of the postotiice. “I used to claim that my leg was shot off at the battle of Antie- tam, but one day something happened to cure me of lying. I was stumping wlong the highway in Ohio, and stopped at a farm-house to beg for dinner.” “Where did you loose that leg? asked the woman. “At Gettysburg.” “Sit down till I call my husband.” “He came in from the barn. I was asked where my regiment was stationed in the battle.” “In the cemetery,’ I replied. “Oh! Well, my son bill was in the cemetery, too. I'll call him in.” “Bill soon came in, and he wanted to know what particular gravestone I took shelter behind. I said it was a Scotch granite monument.” “Oh! grunted Bill. “My brother Bob was just behind such a stone, and 11) call him in.” Bob came in, and he swore a mighty oath that he was there alone. He sort o pre-empted that monument, and remembered the inscription to a word.

They are made of flour and water, and contain no other in- gredients. After the flour has been kneaded into a stiff dough, a lump of it containing about fifty pounds is placed on a great block of wood and pressed into a thick sheet with a great beam which is fastened to the block at one end by an iron link and staple. The} sheet is next placed under an iron, roller, from ait it emerges into a long ribbon. It passes through several rollers until it is thin enough affairs. We need to mingle with men for baking.

It is generally felt that he was made the victim of a great wrong and suffered vicariously for a majority of all. He has theretore been regarded with peculiar tenderness, so tu speak. and by democrats has been looked upon as bravely bearing alone an injustice that was done their whole party. His passing away will be unaffectedly la- mented throughout the Jand. He was a noble exponent of democratic princi- ples. His expositions of the politieal doetrines which have made this coun- try what it is were sound and clear and eloquent. He was an intellectual giant and he never faltered in his advocacy of the rights of the people. He is, ther - fore, fully entitled to the high place that will be given him in the Valhalla of democracy and to the lofty place he already holds among American states- men. His life has been a long fight against chicanery and dishonesty in polities, against the trickery by which the masses are robbed, and he dies with the assurance of the “well done” that is given all faithful pubhe servants, and with the unfading wreath that crowns the champion of the people. the Editors appealed to a higher Court. Will the Press of this Stafe submit to such tyranny on the part of a Court, of Xny sort? We suggest not. The same Court (Syuire Shuford is the man who presides, and has so much peurile dignity) ignored indictments against one Richmond M. Pearson and J. R. Hamilton for sending and carry- ing a challenge to Gen. Johnstone Jones to fight a duel. Shuford and his Court now ought to be indicted ‘for an outrage on christian society and contempt of public opinion.

He early became distinguished, too asa public speaker, championing always asin the days of lis greatest power the ever-enduring principles of democracy. With a view to influencing the cam- paign of paper in New York city, the Daily News, wrote for it constantly and with admirable vigor and won for it a ligh and influential place among the jour- nals of the time. He contributed no little to the democratic victory of the year, and having accomplished his ob- ject withdrew from journalism. The defeat of Silas Wright in 1846, it is said, and coolness that had grown up between the friends of Polk and Van Buren led Mr. Tilden to withdraw his attention from politics and concen- trate it on his profession. Whether this be so or not it isa fact that he did apply himself thenceforth to the law most closely and with signal snecess, earning what remains, a darge fortane in a city of such Croestises as the Van- derbilts and the Astors. His services to the American system of railways gained him the large part of this for- tune and afeme which was sui generis, since it is admitted that in achieving it he brought into activity all the quali- ties most highly esteemed in the Judge. as well as the learning. experience an persuasion of the ablest advocates.

From the New York Mail and Express. Col. John Nicholas Pritchard, of St. Louis, is a retired life insurance presi- dent and spends his time in New York, Saratoga und Bar Harbor. He makes New York his headquarters, where he lived thirty-five years ago and clerked in a bank on Pine street. The Colonel belongs strictly to the old school in his manners, is as gallant as courtier, and always has a rare stock of historical stories on hand to decorate his conver- sation. He is “Yankee” to the back- bone and his wifeis Southern, so freqently they have breezy times dicussing the various events of the late “uopleasantness.” During the war he was a colonel in the federal anny, stationed at St. Louis. He used to swear that if John 5. Marmaduke, the present Governor of Missouri, was captured he intended to deal summarily with him. He and the Governor are sworn friends now, but whenever the Colonel wishes to stir up wife to a fever pitch of ani- mation he tells the following: “Gen. Marmaduke was apprehended for stealing a horse during the war. The circumstances attending it were ludicrous, and are still kept going in Missouri as stock jokes against the Governor. During a battle his horse was shot from under him. Without hesitation he seized upon a private’s horse which happened to be conven- lent during the melee. Springing upon the back of the animal he charged at the head of his command through a town. The peoplein the town shot off volleys of applause, and Marma- duke’s men roared with unsuppressed laughter. Their General furnished the humor. The horse he mounted hap- pened to belong to, or rather was that day stolen by, a private who was noto- rious for his petty brigandage. The saddle or crupper bags were filled by the private, and ribbon streamed out of the bags on either side of the horse, and every few minutes a body garment flew ont. When the General turned in the saddle he saw to his amazement that he looked like a flying ship with bunting and streains kissing the wind. As soon as the charge ended to make matters worse, the real owner of the horse came forward and swore the animal had been. stolen. All these things were reported in St. Louis and made capital to annoy the Generual’s friends who, although in Federal lines, sympathized with him.” Ingenious Petty Swindlers. The ingenious ways some persons adopt to avoid paying out their money seem incredible to those whose walks im life do not bring them in contact wits} large numbers of people. “Here is the latest (from the Jtailway Leview) to} beat us poor conductors out of our fare.” said one of the fratermty the other day. “While taking up tickets, I reached a nicely dressed lady, who was looking, apparently preoceapied, out of an open car window and tap- ping her pocketbook on the window ledge. 1 touched her shoulter to attract her atttention, when she jamped as though shot, and dropped her pocketbook out of the car windew.

THE IRISH QUESTION FROM A NEW STAND- POINT—-WOMEN AND CHILDREN SHOT—-HOSPITALS FILLED. Betrast, Ireland, August 9.—Dur- ing the rioting which occurred here from Saturday ‘evening to an early hour thie morning, eleven persons were killed and one hundred and thirty seriously wounded. A majority of injured persons have shot wounds. The | rioting was renewed today and a fierce encounter took place between the soldiers and the mob, in which a number were wounded. _-A soldier at close quarters fired at a boy, Shattering his hand. Reinforcements of troops to the number of twelve hundred, have arrived in Belfast to-day. a Attempts to stop the rioting have been unsuccessfn] and the violence of the mob is increasing. _ Thirty noters have been wounded. The police keep up a merciless fire upon the mob. The city, owing to the wreck of the houses, presents a deplorable aspect. Its appearance is similar to that of Paris after the commune. It is feared that numerous deaths resulting from riots have taken place which will never be heard of. The hospitals are taxed to their utmost to accommodate ‘the great number of wounded persons in need of attention. The principal fea- tere of the riot isa number of children wounded. Yesterday a bay was shot while returning from Sunday School. To-day a little girl was shot on the street and itis thought fatar’y wounded. She was carried away apparently lfe- less. ‘Train loads of troops are con- stantly arriving. An incident of the disorders are as follows: Mrs. Me-| Ilwaine Saturday, harangued a small crowd of neighbors in regard to the riots and roundly abused the police for firing upon the people. She after- wards expressed fears that she would lose her life on account of her speech. She therefore in order toavoid recogni- tion put on a black dress on Sunday instead of a white which she wore Saturday. This precantion, however, tniled to save her. Yesterday during the progress of the riot she ran to her door to. gather in some straying chil- dren, a bidlet struck her in the head and she fell lifeless in the doorway. The aspect of affairs wus so threat- | ening at noon to-day that the authori- ties ordered all taverns in the city to be closed until tomorrow evening. Prosresses, and that the opposition to the lis left entirely in the hands of the trustees, and After Radical Thus far the three candidates for Republican votes in three Congressional Districts ‘are AV. H).Maione, Charles R. Jones and R.Z. Linney. Malone has set out to capture Republican votes and beat Bob Johnston; Jones is very busy gather- ing.up the 3, over Alfred Jand; whilst Linney is taking counsel with Tyre York, another bolter and kicker, how he | can best managa to defeat W. H. H. Cowles in the Eighth District. The Re- publican Raleigh correspondent of the, New York Times telegraphs as follows of, Cowles and his Radical opponent: “Heisno match for Linney on the stump, and unless the party organization is stronger than it now appears to be in | the western portion of the State Cowles will be beaten. The Hon. Tyre York, coalition candidate for Governor in 1884, lives in Wilkes county, and will zealously support Liyney. The Democatic major- ity is this away in Alexander, Ashe and Wilkes counties. The signs are that Linney will grow stronger as the canvass yranny of the caucus system will gather strength every day.” The “tyranny of the caucus system” is | rich coming from an old political stager who has runmanyacaucus.

The next thing that people take an et in after a man dics and is buried, is to know what be left behind in the shape of property, and what disposition he made of it by Will. This is one of the topics just uow engaging the attention of newspapers in respect to Mr. Til- den’s estate. They report its value to be five millions of dollars. His will covers 60 pages of toolscap paper. Which contains about ten thou- sand words. It first provides for the dead states- man's kindred by placing funds in trust from which they are to derive an income. “Then the! various suins to go to the. differcut heirs are | inentioned.

Cuicaco, Aug. 9.—Late advices from the sec- tion of Wisconsin devastated by forest fires yes- terday, place the loss by burning the village of Spencer, at nearly $400,000. There was a large flre in Marshfield, 150,000 feet of chair stock at Webster's factory being destroyed. The town was saved by hard work. A’ dispatch from Neillsville, says great fears are expressed in this city on account of the extensive forest fires which are within four miles of the city, and «oming nearer. The mayor and council have ordered the fire companies to be in readiness at any moment. Hewittville, seven miles west of here, was burned to the ground yesterday. The loss has not been estimated yet, but will be Very great. Dell's Dam, six miles south of here, is alse in immediate danger. If rain does not fall inside of 24 hours it is feared that this city will alsg suffer greatly. a OO A WISE REFORM.

Kerosene Oil! ——— | - Coffee in the Confederacy. David Dodge, in the Atlantic Monthly. Coffee had been almost the sole table beverage in the South, and no privation caused more actual discomfort among the peo- le at large than the want of it. ‘There was nothing for which Ithey strove so eagerly and un- ‘ceasingly to procure a substitute. Few, indeed, were the substances which did not, first and last, find their way into the coffee pot. Wheat, rve, corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts, dandelion, okra seed, persimmon seed, melon seed, are Lut afew of the substitutes which had their turn and their day. “A fig for the difference between Ri-o and ry-e,” said the wits. “Eureka!” cried an enthusiastic newspaper correspondent. “ An- other of the shackles which holds the South to the commercial ‘thrall of the world is severed. Let South America keep her Rio and-the antipoes its Java. It is discovered to be true beyond per- adventure that as a beverage the seed of the sea island cotton can- not be distinguished from. thfe hest Java, unless by its superior- ity; while the seed of the ordina- ry variety is found to be not a whit behind the best Rio.” What a flutter of cxcitement and joy it raised in many a household— and doubtless the scene in ours was typical—to find that the na- tional plant, the very symbol of ithe Confederacy, was indeed so Lee ees ! It gave us greater | confidence, if it were possible to Ihave greater, in the power and possibilities of the South, now that cotton, the great king, had had another crown laid on his brow. So opportune was the dis- covery, too, that it struck us as almost a divine revelation, indi- cating the interposition of Prov- idence in our favor. So eager were we to test it—or rather to confirm it, for it was too good not to be true—that we eould not a- wait meal-time. Residing in N. Carolina, and up the country, we had never seen any sea island cotton, but the prospect of being confined to Rio was by no means appalling. A) pickaninny was forthwith hurried off to the cot- ton patch, then sparsely flecked with newly opened bolls. The apronful of precious stuff, now a veritable manna, was hardly in doors before a dozen hands of all sizes and colors were tearing and picking at the discredited fibre, in quest of the priceless seed.— The Rio was made and drunk. Dexpite the sorghum sweetening, the verdict was unanimous in its favor. TI hope that the commu- nication of this most stupendous discovery to our neighbors added as Immensely to their happiness as to our self-importance. But if in the last respect we sinned, retribution could not have been laggard. For although, owing to the fact that happily the recol- lection of disappointments and humiliations is less abiding than the opposite feelings, am unable to tell exactly why and when we returned. to: parched bran—it is nevertheless true that we did. Recipes for making “ coffee without coffee” (when the real article was alluded to, strong em- phasis on the word left no doubt as to which kind was meant) Were extensively advertised jin the newspapers and in some in- stances sold by canvassing a- vents. But rye, okra seed and meal or bran held in the long run the popular favor. Those who could afford an infiniteismal quantity of the real article, coun- ted out by the grain to flavor the substitute, were the envy of the neighborhood. A cup of pure, genuine coffee would in the eves of many have been an extraya- gance akin to Cleopatra's famous draught itself. The contents of a small gourd, which held our entire stock of the genuine ar- ticle for many months before the close of the war, must have gone toward making of an incredible lake of coffee. ne ne Rossini ‘Played It” on Liszt. ’ The latest story of Liszt is that he once asked Verdi for a letter of intro- duction to Rossini, which was given, lhe author of “Willian Tell” received ithe Abbe in the most friendly manner, and asked him to play one of his com. positions or any other favorite piece.

A great effort has at last been made to solve the enigma which for ages has remained a mystery to man. It is the great Sphinx which is about to reveal its secret and why it was erected. A company of explorers, under the direction of Maspero, have been exca- vating for some time back around the base of this Colossus. These excava- tions have disclosed a temple which is said to be the oldest in the world. — It has no resemblance to any of the other Egyptian temples. For a few months the marvelous Sphinx of (hizeh will remain .perhaps for the first time since the days of Moses, free from the earth: in which it was buried and we shall perhaps discover the reason of its exis- tence. eee Peculiarity of a Horse's Eye. One often hears the expression that a horse don’t know its strength. hat isa mistake. A horse is fully aware of its strength, but owing to a peculi- arity of its optic lens it is kept in a constant state of intimidation. A horse’s eye magnifies nearly six diame- ters, and man looks like a giant to it. Queer isn't it ? but true. A series of curious experiments recently made by Parisian savants have established it beyond any question. That accounts for the many odd fits of fright the best horses are subject to. ——_- Every time I buy an article I am encouraging the manufacturer or pro-; ducer, De Queen of Eng- | land kin have a bigger garden, but her | wegetabeles must grow in de same way, | fevace am warmed by de same coal an’ Ms screens made frum de same wire.

Deafness appears to be exceptionally prevalent in Kennebec County. Maine. and in Martha’s Vineyard. A recent | scientific investigation of the matter shows that in both districts there is abundant evidence of heredity, and especially of atavism. In the families affected there were also blindness, in- sanity, idiocy, and deformity, and in some cases a long history of comsan- gnineal marriages. In Martha's Vine- yard the distribution of deafness coincides with that of certain and its eastern) boundary is also the typhoid fever line. ee Oe Ee NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE, Mt.

EO ———— Two Roses. RICHARD E. BURTON. A wild rose spake to a city rose ‘How sad is your lot, your life! You miss the kiss of the wind that blows In the open field where the glad stream flows, And the days with summer rife.” The city flower softly smiled, For she knew what things are best : “How little you dream of love, poor child ! What time you are out in the tempest witd I sleep on my lady’s breast.” Baltimore, Md. — Philadelphia American. Twe to a Bargain. The miller stood at his open door, A pleasing sight to see; Of worldly things he owned good store, And acres broad had he. Yes T will wed whome’er I please, And lead a merry life, For happy’s the man that lives at case, With a pipe and loving wife. “Oh, miller, have you flour to sell, That you will sell to me? And here is gold to pay you well Whate'er the price may be.” He laughed and answered in a thrice, Of flour I have no lack, , And if you would know the market price, Two kisses fur every sack.” “Two kisses—it is a deal to pay,” She merrily answered back, “Yet, as tomorrow's baking day, We needs must have a sack, And mother, (but here she laughed outright, ) Has bidden me say to you That she herself will come to-night, And pay whatever is due.” —T. Malecolin Watson. 2, — - — Love Land. There’s a far-off mystic country, Sunned by hope’s eternal beam, In whose green and perfumed valleys T have wandered in a dream. Where the brouklets run in music Twixt their emerald banks along, Where the forests wave in anthems, swayed by breezes winged with song. Where the whole great heart of nature Throbs with melody for aye ; Where the flowers that bud and blossom, Never wither, fade or die; But for ime the clime is distant, Distant far as morning's gleam, Tho’ in its fair and pleasant valleys I have lingered iu a dream. Anda pure and radiant heing Leads me gently by the hand, When, through slumber’s dusky portals, Joyfully Tseek that land ; And beside me in her beauty Lingers like the radiant beam Of some star that shines in heaven Till T woken from my dream. And that far-off, mystie country Is the glorious land of love, Where love is love forever And all other things above ; And my heart yearns towards this being As [ breast life's rapid stream — Ever distant from me waking, Ever near me in my dream. —R.

From Wake Forest PROFESSORS— NEW BUILDINGS— PERSONAL. * NEW The Board of Trustees of the College, which met in Raleigh last week, to com- plete their work, in addition to the elec- tion of three new professors, have made arrangements for the erection of a large , laboratory and have completed a contract for 200,000. brick to be delivercd here at once, It is also probable that another dormitory will soon be erected, The Trustees were fortunate in secur- ing men, like those elected, to teach at Wake Forest. Prof. Duggaw, who is to till the chemistry chair, is aman of unu- sal ability and well known in this and other nations. He is a fellow at Johns Hopkins University, the consulting chem- ist tor several houses in New York, and has lately discovered a new mineral, Prof. Manly has sustained well the rep- utation of his ancestors Whose names are dear to all North Carolinians. He speaks Latin almost as fluently as he does Eng- | lish,and is a fine scholar in every respect. He is a grund-nephew of the great Judge Manly. Prof. Michael, assistant, is a graduate of the University of West Virginia, has made a fine reputation as a teacher and } With The improvement of the Campus, which President faylor inaugurated last Winter, has been kept up through the Spring and | Suimmer and the grounds now present an | attractive appearance, A beautiful lawn is dotted here and there with young mag- nolias, sturdy oaks, beds of flowers, new ' rustics and other numerous improvements which tend to make the square a pretty one.

Twenty odd days will have elapsed and our population will again be doubled. A majority of the old students will return, besides Dr, Taylor is looking for an in- creased number of‘newish.”’ The prospects ‘for the college the coming year is very flattering, and nothing is being left un- done to make it a notable session for ad- vancement and thorough work, The main dormitory has been thoroughly overhaul- ed and kalsamined and now presénts a new and neat appearance. The gymna- sium has also been repaired and enlarged and is now able to cope with the muscles of the boys in September. The refreshing rains which fell here last week seemed to have changed every- thing for the better. The farmers throughout this section have rarely seen the crops in a better condition and they are in high spirits over the outlook for a bountiful harvest. As August wears away the professors and landlords wind their way homeward. ° + SALISBURY, N. C., AUGUST 19, 1886. The professors who have been laboring in different portions of the state have all returned except Dr. Taylor who is in the Blue Ridge section in the interest of the College. We look for the new professors in about two weeks. It is a short time, yet we are impatient to welcome them. Prof. L. R. Mills returned, Friday from the Normal school in the East over which he presides. Dr. Simmons has spent the most of his vacation in the mountains. Prof. Rayall has been holding a meet- ing at Youngsville for the past 2 weeks. J5.F: Breezes from Blowing Rock. For the Watchman: The long deferred warm weather and the ever increasing popularity of this delightful summer resort have brought quite a rush of seekers after health and pleasure to Blowing Rock. The Wa- tauga Hotel is filled almost to its ut- most capacity, there being only a few vacant berths in the third story. All of Morris’ houses, including Bachelors’ Retreat, Castle Thunder, and Hotel de Rats, are filled from garret to basement. Estes’, Stewart's and Ingle’s are all well patronized. The amusements consist of dancing, lawn tennis, base-ball, fish- ing, and riding, driving, or walking, as taste prompts, to the numerous beauti- once more call it home; to rove over the scenes oftheir childhood and at Jength lie down “where their fathers sleep.” But this is not vouchsafed many of them. Would it not be well for some of us who contemplate leaving the State, to profit by their experience and stay where we are? For considering all things, I no not think we could bet- ter our condition elsewhere. EK. H. M. —_—_ -—a-—_ -—_—_ f Will Merrimon be Scratched?

If the season continues a few days there will be an average crop made, There are a number of fine mineral springs in this section, but still a great many Georgians are leaving them and are visiting Springs and Summer re- sorts in North Carolina. So slowly, but surely, her (N. C.) attractions are recognized by her sister States. The day is not far distant when her resorts will be the most popular of any in the Southern States.

The national feeling that has been aroused over the Cutting affiir may still be utilized. Cutting himself is not a fit object of solicitude. He is clearly a disreputable and pestiferous adventurer, and, now that the facts are known, is seen to have been in the wrong all through. Cutting is not a resident of Texas, but of Mexico. For more than eigh- teen months he has resided in Mexico, dwelling there and engaging in busi- ness under the protection of Mexican laws. It was in his capacity as such a resident that he was originally brought into court at Paso del Norte, and it has never been pretended that he protested against the exercise of its jurisdiction on that occasion. On the contrary he distinctly consented to it, ratified the judgment pronounced and undertook to discharge the obligations assigned him in the settlement. It was because of his default in this respect, because he actively circulated in Mexico, no matter where it was published, an article out- rageously in contempt of the court within whose jurisdiction he resided and did business —it was for these reas- ons that the Mexican authorities ar- rested and undertook to punish him. Kverybody of intelligence subscribes to Secretary Bayard’s proposition that Mexico cannot be allowed to punish an American citizen for acts cominitted in the United States. Upon that issue the whole country, without reference to party, would rally as one man to the The only question is whether Cutting’s case comes within this proposition. The Mexicans insist that his offense con- sisted in the circulation of the article in Mexico, and claim to be able to prove that he did personally circulate it. They do not except to Secretary Bayard’s proposition. They simply protest that it does not apply to the case in point. This is, therefore, a question of fact, not of principle, and it may safely be left to friendly inquiry and determina- tion by the official representatives of | the powers. The Mexican government, as well as the Mexican people, are most kindly disposed toward us. Mutual in- terests are hourly springmg up to ce- ment the bond, and commerce with her loving alchemy is shaping our efforts ‘toa common end of peace. There is ‘no casus belli, but the feeling that has been aroused, the interest that has been quickened, may well be used to bring ‘about a better understanding and bend ‘our purposes to justice and generosity ‘and honor. This great nation will be ‘all the dearer to the hearts of true men for being the type of gentleness and ' strength and dignity.—V’. Y.

What Becomes of the Bullets? The reports of the riots in Belfast bring up again the bewildering conun- drum always suggested by English ac- counts of battles, ‘What ongarth be- came of the bullets?” The papers are full of long, cireamstantial narratives, introduced by grisly and reeking head- lines, of furious conflict between the rioters and the authorities. We are presented with the spectacle of count- less thousands of maddened men be- leaguering the police and wrecking property, abandoning themselves to the wildest license and bent on the most comprehensive bloodshed. Into the dense masses of these infuriate demons the police and the military have for several consecutive days and_ nights poured.a deadly rain of lead. We are assured that the scene passes descrip- tion. The imagination is left to wade chin deep in flowing gore and, emerg- ing sick and giddy from the gruesome torrent, to faint in the midst of ever widening hecatombs. And then we reel and stagger to the summary to find that eleven persons have been killed and nearly 130 wounded as the result of all this carnage. Thousands of rioters and hundreds of police and military have been bat- tling for days and nights, the latter firing innumerable volleys into the mob, and the list of casualties is “eleven kill- ed and 130 wounded.” What becomes of the bullets ? What sort of fighting is this, described so Juridly and made to seem so terrible, which ean cover two or three days of bloody conflic® and yield so meek a con- sequence 2 Twelve years ago three or four hundred New Orleans dandies, armed with, anything they could Jay their hands on, attacked about an equal number of Kellogg's metropolitan po- lice on the broad river front by the Custoin House. It was a mere rally ; a yell, a quick dash across an open space swept by Gatling guns, and in ten min- utes the smoke had blown away and it was over. But a government was an- nihilated in that maucals quart dC heure, more than fifty men were killed and over one hundred wounded. Fighting is a deplorable busipess. If we could arrange matters in our way, there would never be aay violence among men. But when we are asked to contemplate such a scene as they tell us has held the boards at Belfast these past three days, we are filled with euri- osity to know how men ean fight so long and so savagely, yet do so little harm. —..

Several northern gentlemen, owning extensive gold properues in” the Brindletown district, have secured this site, surveyed it, laid it out in blocks of lots 75x150 feet each, with streets forty fect wide. They propose to make it a manufacturing town in which many industries, based upon the raw mate- rials of this region, can be prosecuted to advantage. The first settler is now on the ground and preparing to put up Others will arrive during the month. A large warehouse, to be used temporarily as a store, will be commenced shortly, and pushed forward to completion as fast as possible. It will be occupied by a merchant from New York, who expects to open up an extensive Jobbing trade in connection with a retail establish- ment. From reports from their New York and Boston ageuts, the proprietors of Andrews are of the opinion that at least fifty buildings will be finished or under contract before the first of next year. The next legislature will be asked for a character for this new town. ~—Me Dowell Bugle. —-—-— +m —— The Decay of Paris. Boston Traveler Paris Letter. Sut in polities and literature Paris is losing her reputation for cleverness and vivacity. She has compromised her power. Some one cleverly says great capitals live not only by the monu- ments they build, by their exterior lux- ury, by the movement of the strangers within their gates, they live by the ideas which circulate through them like re- vivifying streams, by a mixture of ty- ranny and tolerance. They should stand forth the progressive spirit of the age and the nation. Paris, above all cities, once played this great role. She does so no longer. The government contents itself in living by expedients. Its support is not that of great capaci- ties. Some foolish leader is followed by a flock of more stupid sheep. The word “mediocrity” should follow the well-known legend, “Liberty, equality, fraternity.’ So much for politics. It is the same thing in literature. There is no longer a great Parisian lit- | erature. -Where are the Victor Hugos, Boston Herald London Correspondence. Alexander Dumas and George Sands ? I do not think that either Pere La In the arts, where are the great men ? (Chaise or Kensal Green are as naturally Does some Delacroix paint “The Hama- cycle” or “The Massacre of Chios ?” Does another Berlioz compose the sym- phonies of Faust ? No doubt all art is decentralized by railroads, as everything Paris allowing her crown of laurels to fade and fall. Nothing seems to re- main faithful to Paris but the arts of dressmaking, of writing plays and bad novels, cookery, and gloves, and good shoes, lingerie the best in the world, and the Bois de Boulogne, which noth- ing can spoil. Mexico’s Fighting Strength. In case we should have a brush with Mexico we need not suppose that we would have but a pleasure jaunt through the republic. There would on the con- trary probably be some lively fighting before the capital city were reached. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat reminds the country that “the regular army of Mexico numbers about 24,000 men, and this force can be increased in a rapid way, under present laws, to 250,000. Maximilian, it should also be remem- bered, had an army of 48,000 when he invaded the country, and he was very thoroughly defeated. The United States would of course triumph in any contest but it would not do so without consid- erable hard fighting and consequent loss of life. | + ee ee ee The Colored Race to Disappear. The white and death rates and their relation to each other are again being commented on extensively. The death rate of the negroes in the cities of the country indeed forces comment. It is enormous. In Washington it is 33.38 per cent. per thousand, nearly twice the mean rate, while in Savannah it is now 122, and in ease of infants no less than 601. The lust is almost incredible, but it isin accordance with the official re- ports. It seems to indicate that the ne- gro is unequal to the strain of city life. In the country he manages to keep down the rate toa point somewhat near that of the white man, but in town he seeins wholly unable to resist the pres- sure of his envietnment. What the re- sult upon him of the burdens and ex- actions of freedom is to he cannot yet be told with accuracy, but it seems clear that he is destined to disappear before the Caucasian as the Indian has disappeared before bin. ee eee Items from Immigration Department. Mr. W. E. Gigelow, of North Vine- land, N. J., wishes to purchase land near Littleton. W..T. Ogden, of Port Republic, Md., desires to visit North Carolino with a view of making a purchase of land; parties having good land for sale would do well to correspond with him. He writes that B. W. Garden, a friend of his will accompany him. Seven gentlemen from Pennsylvania, arrived in Raleigh the first of this week and after looking around for a day or so went in the western part of our State. Several of the parties are look- ing for farms while others ure looking for a desirable point to open a store and the remainder of the party are looking for timber lands. One of the North- ern Immigration Agents informed us that the whole party could command ten thousand dollars or more. Some of them will undoubtedly settle, per- haps the entire number. Dr. R. B. Johnson, editor of the Eeonomist, Milton, Pa, would lke to get all the information concerning North Carolina possible. J. T. Crackettly, of Adain Creek, Knox county, Tenn., wishes informa- tion concerning North Carolina farm- ing lands. He is formerly of Massa- chusetts, but moved quite recently to ‘Tennessee. He is not very well pleased with Tennessee and is anxious to move into North Carolina. > A Royal Printer. From the Pall Mall Gazette. It is not generally known that Prince Ludwig, of Battenberg, son of Prince Alexander, of Hesse, is a practi- eal printer. Like most of the Princes of the Prussian royal house, who have been taught either an art or a trade, Prince Ludwig of Battenberg was early called upon to choose a calling, and his choice fell upon the art of Guttenberg. In the palace of his father the Prince has a printing office com- pletely fitted up for ordinary printing and book work. Prince Ludwig prides himself on his ability to complete with compositors and printers who follow typography for a livelihood. What is still more interesting is that the Princess, the eldest danghter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, is a printer, too, and that the high-born pair work regularly toghether at the case. ‘The latest work which has come from Prince Ludwig of Battenberg’s press isa volune ef notes on travels written by the Prince’s sister, the Countess of Erbach- Schonberg.

The Audubon Society for the Pro- tection of Birds was incorporated yesterday uy Charles B. Reynolds, Joel A. Allen, illiam D. Page, Edward R. Wilbur and George Bird Grinnell. The purpose of the society is “to pro- tect American birds not used for food from destruction for mercantile purpo- ses, to secure and publish information to show the extent of the present enor- mous destruction of birds for millinary decoration and other pu , to point out the injury to the agricultural inter- ests of the land which must certainly follow the decimation of insectivorous birds; to discou the killing of any bird not used for food, the robbing of any bird’s nest or the destruction of its eggs, and the use of any wild bird’s plumage as an article of dress or orna- nent.” Dvusiin, August 12.—The United Ireland says, Salisbury, in a speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet, London, last night, proclaimed war a tout outrance. The burden of his speech is twenty years inanacles for the Irish. Very good, says the United Ireland, our race is accustomed to resist tyranny. War let it be, in the name of God. A CARD.

This is the name of a new projected trunk line, designed te connect the great northwest and the Atlantic sea- board, at Smithville, below Wilning- ton, N.C. The link necessary to be built is from Smithville to Bristol, Tenn. Beginning at Smithville, the poipts touched are, Conway boro, Marion and Bennettsville, in the north- ern part of South Carolina, thence to Bockingham, Albemarle and Salisbury. From this point it is proposed to go to Mocksville, Wilkesboro and through Cook's gap to Bnstol. Mr. David Risley is here in the in- terest of the road, and is representing | the New York Company who propose to construct the line. The objects of the construction are to mike another guorter and better seaboard connection for the northwest, and to make money out of a paying road. “The coal fields, beds of tine Jron ore, and the great grain producing plains lying west and | “northwest of us, are sufficient sources for an adequate and continued freight supply to the coast. The distribution of inland freizhts will give business to the west bound trains, so that the busi- ness prospect is all that could be desired. The proposed line will be 100 miles shorter to the seacoast than any other Jine, and it is expected to become one | of the most important end remunera- tive roads in the country. Mr. Risley has been over th: greater part of the line and finds the people enthusiastic. He has just returned from Stanly county. The county commissioners of that county have ordered an election for the purpose of voting $100,000 to the scheme. The election will be held on the 2Sth of Sept. The county of Brunswick has also ordered an election | foy the purpose of voting alike amount | to the road. In regard to the money | given by these and other counues, not | acent of it is asked for hy the com-| pany building the road, until it is com-| plete and trains actually ranning| through fhe county. This reliaves the situation of any risk, and is a sufficient | guarantee to the people. | The contractor of the road, Mr. | Bilhe:mer, now has a corps of engin- gers engaged in making the survey from the Smithville end of the line, and they are expected to reach Salis-| bury within a few weeks. Mr. Risley says the yoad will surely be built. He hopes to find — sufficient encour. | pgement in Salisbury to justify his epming this way. If this is not gran- ted, he says there will be nothing left for him to do but swing to the right from Rockingham, and go by Troy, | Lexington and Winston. | The question is now before the peo-| ple of Salisbury. What will they do! about it? There is a chance of making | this the Atlanta of North Carolina— | the great distributing point for the! west and northwest; an opportunity to | make Salisbury a live, growing town, full of business. jt go by? Shall we apt, or let | oe -_ : 7 ft pass over the same territory. It is hoped that no complications may arise. — ——-—e-— The Cost of Building Rail Reads. Speaking of rail roads, and the cost of corstruction, it would be well to look at these figures. Private individ- nals are constructing a branch of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad, beginning at a point some ten miles from Greensboro, and running 9 miles to a point near Worthville, in Randolph county, at a total cost of $7,000 for the nine miles. This is for grading and putting the cross ties on —preparing the bed for the iron and rolling stock. Less than a thousand dollars a mile in an undulating country. At such prices North Carolina shoald have an abun- dance of railroads. —_>- What Independents Cannot Do. The Asheville Citizen, in speaking of independent candidates, very cor- rectly remarks: “Wedo not know anywhere in North Carolina were there is cause or need for any independent candidate. We do not know asingle one who can remedy evils of which he complains; we donot know asingle one who 1s able to make astronger impress on national or State legislation than they whose inetlciency he denounces; we do not know a single one who is more competent to direct public affairs to the good of the people with more ability or honesty than those selected by the de- liberate voice of the people in Conven- tion assembled; nor do we know any one authorized to come oyt on his own motion as the champion of the people for violated right or justice through the act of such conventions. Independents are not needed; they are not wanted; they effect no public good; they are enemies, not friends to the cause they affect to serve; their aims are all selfish, their ambition is all personal. This is the milk in the cocoanut. It is selfishness, egotism, conceit; noth- ing more, nothing less. -If the men | whom the people, in their conventions nominate to fill the offices, cannot ac- complish all that if was hoped they would, even when they are backed by the prestige and strength of the great Democratic party of America, how, in the name of common sense, can it be supposed that these independents wall “do wonders” in a single handed com- bat. Bah! conceit, deceit and all un- cleanness. The people are not fools as these independents seem to taink. eee er een) Dr. F. H.

After writing theabove title the thought occurred to the writer that it would bé impossible to make the substance of this letter correspond to the freshnees and breeziness of the title. But when we remember that the winds and the waters that start from that elevated region lose some twenty degrees of their coojness before they reach this region; we need not be surprised if thoughts also should lose some of their crispness in their pro- gress down the country. So we must risk the cuntrast. . “BLOWING ROCK” is the name of a bona fide Rock, and also of a general region, a health resort, and a Post Office. The *‘Rock” is a shelving cliff, on the summit of the Bluc Ridge, four thousand and ninety feet above sea level, overlooking the upper basin of the John’s Riv&f Valley, This Basin lics hundreds of feet—I am afraid to guess how many—below the mountain ridge, and for some reason or other is called “The Globe,” perhaps because it resembles the concave side of a hollow globe, Ti * he winds that sweep over the Grandfather mountain, some twelve miles west, dip down into this concave of the “Globe,” and as they strike the rocky ledge, are turned upward, and burst over it ina cooling breeze. Visitors throw papers, handkerchiefs, and sometimes summer hats, over the ledge, and the breeze, es- ecially in the late evening, whirls them ae over their heads. It would however be well to test its strength before tossing a valuable hat over the precipice! From Blowing Rock the ltedge runs about two miles westward on the north side of the “Globe” and the turnpike runs near the brink, furnishing a vast prospect tothe south, east, and west, with moun- tain peaks in great numbers, such as the Table Rock, Hawks Bi, Grandfather, and in the dim distance, the lofty Black , Mountain range. At the end of this ledge of two miles the traveller turns off to the north, and descending about one hundred and forty fect in half a mile, reaches Blowing Rock Post Office, where the Watauga Hotel, Morris’s, Estes’s, and Stewart’s Boarding Houses are, he is still on the Blue Ridge, and is very much mystified to find that the waters on the east run into New River, Great Kena- wha, and the Mississippi, while those on the west side, run into John’s River, the Catawba, and the Atlantic Ocean. ‘The mystery is explained by the fact that the “BLUE RIDGE” instead of being a straight, continuous ridge, as it appears at the distance of fifty miles, isa “Sierra,” as the Spanish eall such a range, that is, a gigantic saw, with its teeth very large and set very wide apart. If this huge saw were turn- ed teeth downward, and pulled back- ward and forward for afew times, it would rip outa channel in the earth from twelve totwenty miles in width. The Blue Ridge is the water-shed, that winds backward and forward among these mountain peaks and valleys, and its shape and direction will forcibly remind the fisherman of the shape and direction of an earthworm when he attempts to impale him on a fish-hook. This region, clevated about four thous- and feet above the sea,is the highest, freshest, coolest, pleasantest suraimer re- sort, Ihave ever seen, The springs of water, gushing everywhere, have a teim- perature of about 49° or 60°, Fahrenheit.

The moun- tains and valleys are covered with grass or loaded with forests. full of mountain trout, and the disciples of Izaak Walton are seen day after day, casting their lines in the waters. But the wondeMfaul vegetable growth is the wlory cf this region. Towering spruces and white pines rive thick tn the valleys, while the chestnuts, oaks, hickories, maples and ashes are seen every where, intermingled with the rhododen Ircns ivies, witch hazels, and hundred of other shrubs and trees. In early July the woods are radiant with the flowers of the rhodo- dendron (aurel) and ivy, while ferns (Dixonia and Maiden’s hair) elothe the hillsides and ravines, with their feathery foliage. I tried one day in’ August to make out a list of flowers that grew wild around us. know, I sew Cardinal flowers, purple and scarlet, orchids, Coreopsis, clematis, sax- ifrage, golden red, “the slight harebell,”’ | elder blooms, and millions of oxeye dai- | ses.

Mr. Ingleamong them. I asked one of them why a Rowan man wanted to live where he could raise no wheat, no sweet pota- toes, little corn, and few oats. O, he said, we can raise rye, and Irish potatoes, cab- bageand grass inabundance. But the chief object was health. He had not needed a doetor in his family for five years, and did not have the chance to attend a funeral for two years after he moved to Watauga. But if “Boyden’s Iiill” is not high enough, the visitor goes to Green’s Ifill, and looks over into the interminable vista of the Wilkes County Mountains. If not satisfied yet he climbs the heights of Flat Top, and gets astill broader view. And if not satistied yet, he goes 12 miles off, and spends a night on the top of the “Grandfather,” 5877 feet above sea level. Though I should have been glad to have stood on this grand height, and. to have made the acquaintance of Mrs. Calloway, and. her hospice; -en the sides of this mountain, I confess that my courage led me no higher than the modest ‘Flat Top.” : But not only are there mottntains here, but beautiful waterfalls,springs, glens, and odd nooks and corners everywhere. Vise turs gotd Valle Crucis Falls, twelve miles djstant, and the Watauga Falls, eight miles distant, I contented myself with the nearerand more accessible Glen- Burney Falls, a half mile distant, Ilere the little head-stream of John’s River glides over a rock, 45 feet high, and shap-— ed like the quarter segment of a circle. The sirenin divides into a half dozen run- lets, and slides, and gleams in the sun- light. “T slip, I slide, I gleam, J] glide, ‘To join the brimming river,” savs Tennison in his ‘Brook.’ And so says this sliding cataract, as the waters plash by day and by night, the whole year round, “Did you ever see water fall so deliberately?” said a friend, when we first stood at the foot cf the cataract. I had seen the deshing Genessee alls, and the thundering Niagara, but never any thing more swect and gentle than the winsome Glen-Burney. 3Zut time and space would ful were I to introduce the “Clen-Mary” Fails, the “Moss -Spring, the “Luralise’ Spring, and the hundreds of curious and enter- taining Jitile mco’.s and = cerners that cluster around Blowing Rock, An artist sojourning there this summer declared that he did not know a more interesting spot inall the country, and the only thing lacking to hin was the presence of other artists with whom he could discuss the various points of beauty and sublimity. Tinay add that if there were scattercd here and there a few sheets of water like Loch Katrine, Grasmere, or Windermere, this would be one of the most charming spots in the world, and that such moun- tains asthe Pentlands and Grampians, Benvenue, Ben Lomond, Ben Ledi and Skiddaw, would dwindle into insignifi- eance, were they placed among the innumerable, but almost unnamed peaks of Watauga County, North Carolina.

THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH was dedicated on the 25th of July, though not finished. It was not ceiled, nor was the pulpit up, but with comfortable seats, it was a pleasant place to worship in. It isa neat, and tasteful building, capable of seating one hundred and sixty people. It has a beautiful spire upon it, in which a bellisto be hung. The whole reflects credit upon the taste of the architect, and the building Committee. It is furnished With a Cabinet Organ anda neat Cuin- munion Service. From the day of its dedication, morning and evening Sabbath | services, With afternoon Sabbath school and Wednesday night Prayer or Praise meetings, have been held. Thetwo hun- dred, or more of summer boarders gath- ered there, with a number of the citizens, | furnish good and attentive congrega- tions. Indeed this appears to be a very promising ficld of Jabor. Few of the churches of Watauga County have preach- ing oftener than once aimonth, And with the inpouring of more light, there is a demand for a higher order of preaching than that of the uneducated, but often zealous, and pious preachers who are ‘‘to the manner born.’’ The people are be- ginning to think and read more, and un- less guided into the trath, will take up with plausible error. A little mingling with them will unearth, now an Adven- tist, with his. materialism, and, now a Swedenborgian, with his mystical rhapso- dies. And then you will find a reader of, and believer in, the blasphemous Toin Paine, The mass of the people are Bap- tists, with some Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians and German Reformed, and here and there an jsolated Presbyte- rian, One good old Baptist lady told me that some of the people did not like for the Presbyterians to come there, but for her part she believed “that there was good and bad in all churches.’”? She had heard our preaching and Jiked jt very well. Af- ter talking with her about our blessed Saviour’s death for us, and the need of repentance, faith, and holy living, in or- der. to salvation, her heart melted, and she said, “ves, that was just what she be- lieved.” They whoare taught by the Spirit of God learn the same lesson all over the world. ; This chapel having been built and paid for, we must signalize the new era, by new, persistent and sel-denying efforts to hold fast what we haye gained, and | sioners, and contracts let out to as many enlvert builders as possible.

Everyihing isas dry as tinder, and fenees and grass along the tracks are either burned or now burning, and bushes are all on fire and burning fierecly. Here, too, the smoke become more denee and hung in the atmosphere sullenly as though wailing an opportunity to settle down and evelop the country in Egyptian darkness. Over the water in Green Bay it descends like a dense fag in all but its color light brown and the wind alternately clears it away | and allows it to gather again. The sun} shines through it like a huge orange and casts asickly shadow. The scarcity of water makes every one apprehensive ot fire, and the proximity of the forests is a constaut source of dread. One of the most peculiar effects of the fire is the action of the animals, which seem to be apprehensive of some great danger. Cat- tle and horses huddle together, forgetting to feed, and stamp the ground restively. Even the birds seem frightened, and fly uround in an aiinless sort of way. Around Green Bay the damage has becn heavy, but the greatest loss iias been suffered in the Oeonto region. Depre village, halfa dozen miles south of here, has suffered heavily. Last Monday night the confla- gration broke out and consumed fifly one buildings, including a church and seveal stores. The fire according to the last report, are rapidly dying out, and unless agale of wind should spring up will proably cause but little more damage. ‘The loss of life is less than was autici- pated, although it is doubtless greater than hag heen reported, Communication with the timber districts is slow ,and | investigation will doubtless bring to light a great deal of suffering.

EE OSI The trial of Dr. Weoodrow. Augusta, Aug. 17.—The trial of Dr. James Woodrow on the charge of heresuy by the Augusta Presbytery was begun at Bethany church near Union Point today. The centenary of the church is also being celebrated, consequently a‘crowd of four thousand people from the surrounding counties and neighboring cities is in attendance, Buch interest is manifested in the trial in this section of the country, not only by Presbyterians, but by people of all denominations. From the re- ports of the proceedings, and the per- sonnel of the body, it is believed that the Presbytery is inclined to favor Dr. 4Voodrow, but as yet the final couclu- sion of the trial is all conjecture. The indictment brought by Dr. William Adams, of Angusta, was rend, to which Dr. Woodrow pleaded not guilty. He acknowledged the authorsip of the ad- dress before the Alumni Association of the Columbia Seminary and the articles in the Southern Presbyterian in refer- ence to evolution. He stated that he had also made speeches containing the same or sinular sentiments before the Synods of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida, and now owned and believed everything set forth in said publications and speeches. Dr, Girardeau, of Columbia. the first witness, was questioned by Dr. Adams, He was surprised on hearing Dr. Wood- row’s views in reference to eyoluton, and after considering the matter and milking known his opposition to Dr. Woodrow, resigned his chair in the Seminary. The effect of Dr. Woodrow’s teachings before the Seminary caused dissension, but he knew certainly of no student who adopted the Doctor's views. ae The Case in a Nutshell. Philadelphia Times. The Mexican dispute hangs on a single question of fact, and the ap- pointment of a special commissioner to astertain and report the fact’ on which the controversy hinges, was a sensible and proper act by the government.

They are willing to leave everything to the arbi- tration provided for in the proposition, but decline to have the clause of the proposition relative to the pay roll stricken out. Turner is satisfled that any arbitration committee would decide that the officers named do rot come within the meaning of the pay roll clause of the pronosition. Therefore having failed in his purpose through misunder- standing, he withdrew the _ proposition made by virtue of such misunderstanding, and orders the Knights not to report for duty, and declares the strike still on. —_——_-<>- LIST OF LETTERS.

Ye are quite certain that the file of the WATCHMAN for the years 1853 and 1855, is pushed away in some corner in some house in this town, It was loaned to some one years ago who forgot to return it. Very likely it is in some garret, or lumber room, and out of sight. Perhaps under old rubbish of worn out books, mazazines, newspapers, shoes, hats, boets, pants, broken umbrellas, — steel, ribbed skirts, scoop bonnets, old-fashion- ed bedsteads, broken nie cradles, cribs, faded carpets, ripped matrasses, or something else out of date and worth- less. coats, It may be we shall have to consult a xpiritualist for the recovery of this file— 2 years in one large boek—frequently needed to establish interesting facts of that time—interesting especially to those who have occasion to inquire. Look it up and return it. —>° Items From Everywhere. Editors Watchman:—The recent rains have had a decidedly beneficial effect on all growing crops.

Ben Perley Poore, in Sumy South. President Van Buren’s son, well- i known as “Prince John,” was aman of great natural ability, a good lawyer and a ready wit. On one occasion he had taken some technical legal advan- tage by which his opponents client in an action was non-suited. The man was furious, and declared his purpose to give John a piece of his mind when he saw hin. Mannenilie to see John one day at Downing’s standing at the bar, he boldly confronted the Prince, and, being a small man, looked He at him fiercely and bust out: “Mr. Van Buren, is there any client so low and mean, or any ease so nasty, that you won't undertake to defend him in it 2” “I don't know,” said John, stopping to put away another oyster; then bending down and confidentially drawling out his reply in the little man’s ear: “What have you been doing ?” Kerosene Oil! & BY THF BARREL AT ENNISS’ Drug Store. duly 9, °85 tf.

G. Glass ee us, being the ripe carpels which are scattered over its surface in the form of minute grains, looking like seeds, which they really are not, for the seed is in- closed inside of the shell of the carpel. This is exactly the contrary to the rasp- berry; here you throw away the recep- tacle under the name of the core, never suspecting that it is the very part you had been feasting upon in the straw- berry. In one case the receptacle robs the carpels of all their jucies in order to become gorged and bloated at their expense, in the other case the carpels act in the same selfish manner upon the receptacle. Taking Bridal Journeys. Here are some sensible words from the Catholic Review: The question of wedding journeys is like many others, in that it has been thoroughly discussed, conclusively set- tled, and laid away among the things which have been finally passed upon and can bother us no more—but the world continues to act as if the decision had been exactly the opposite. Theoret- ically, it is ridiculous that when people have determined to settle down and have a tixed home and established meth- ods for life, they should begin by going away and passing the first weeks of this new life in a hurried and_ breathless rushing about, us if the only joy were in ceaseless motion and continual change. With the logical aspect of the matter, however, we shall not now concern our- selves. We have in mind a case which is constantly repeating itself “in our midst,” and which we believe to be of sufficient practical importance to war- rant a little attention in our columns. Suppose the case of a young man who works hard and earns his own liv- ing asa clerk, a piano-tuner, a sales- man, or in some other respectable oc- cupation ; who has lived carefully, laid by a few hundred dollars, and feels that he can at last afford to get married. His bride is a young woman in his own walk of life, who has been accustomed to living comfortably, but economical- ly, and upon this remarkable and heal- thy basis their plans for married life are laid. Nine times out of ten they go far to wreck the whole affair simply by a wedding journey. In the first place they both purchase expensive clothes. They are married with con- siderable state, and if they were to stop with that and yo from the church at once to their home, and begin house- keeping, they would find that a serious inroad had already been made upon their savings. But that is not the programme by any means. From the church they ride in a carriage to the railroad station. There they take chairs or a whole com- partment in a parlor car, and make straight for the nearest big city (unless they are New Yorkers they come to New York, as a matter of course), and there they put up at the largest and most expensive hotel. Then begins a life of pleasure and sight-seeing. They do as the people about thenydo, and for a week or two they live as if they were millionaires. The money that the young man has drawn from the bank melts away hke snow in the sun, but as it is his wedding journey (or his bridal tour, as it is the fashion to call it) he feels bound-not to consider the expense. When the close of his vacation ap- proaches he finds it necessary to send for the rest of his savings to get home with—frequently these are all spent and he has to borrow. When the young couple return and take up life in their new home, how does the matter present itself? They have lived, for » week or two, as rich people live. They have had a taste of luxury to which they were unaccus- tomed, and they are recalled to the rea'- ities of their former mude of life—the life of careful economy, of thrift and self-denial which is to be theirs for the future. But they are at a tremendous disadvantage. In the first place, they must be more than human if they do not think with regret and longing of their brief taste of luxury, ease, and splendor, and if husband and wife are perhaps lacking in sturdy strength of mind and not fortified by a Christian contentment with their state in life, discontent and repining aud envy are almost sure to cloud their happiness. The details of their narrow domestic life, which would naturally be accepted as a matter of course and as a part of their common happiness, will be found dull. sordid, and distasteful, because so different from the life of which they have had a fleeting glimpse during their wedding journey. To this unhappy result is too often to be added a more serious practical consequence in a load of indebtedness, for not only are the savings of years thus recklessly squandered for a few davs’ pleasure, but, as we have said, in very many caes the money which pays for a little prolongation of the indul- gence ts borrowed, and has to be repaid out in the field. aiicely. by painful economies, extending over many months and years. In a word, the evil is a double one. The young people begin their married life out of ture and spoiled for true rational happiness in it; and, moreover, they have paid such a price for a few days of artificial and, for them, wholly unsuitable existence, that they are heav- ily handicapped in the early part of their race, and it is very fortunate if even their children do not feel for years the evil effects of their parents’ yield- ing to the tyranny of custom in the matter of a “wedding journey.” Did'’nt Blame Them. From the Merchant Traveler. The poi aatl a proved itself the possessor of extraordinary vocal powers, and had exercsied hei to Tonnes annoyance.

At the grave the widow bore up bravely, but on the way home she suddenly burst into a flood of tears. “I c-can’t h-h-help it,” she sobbed : “We just p-passed the office of the e-company that John had h-his life ipsu-ed in, an’ when I think o’ that poor man’s thoughtfulnss, I just h-have got to cry !” eee Child-~And you wont give mea penny, mamma?

So, for a starter, and in the way of graphically illuminating his remarks, he took a bit of chalk and sketched on the black- board a representation of two hearts joined together. “Now, then,” he said. turning to the school, “who can tell me what I have drawn?” “LT know,” called a very little boy on the front seat. “Well,” the pastor kindly said. “what is it?” The little boy shrieked out, “A termarter !" _ —_< _ A boy twelve years old was the im- portant witness ma law suit. One of the lawyers, after cross-qnuestioning him severely, said: “Your father has been talking to you and telling you how to testify, hasn't he?” “Yes.” said the boy. “Now,” said the Jawyer, “just tell us how your father told you to tes- tify.” “Well,” said the boy, modestly. “father told me that the lawyers wou d try and tangle me in my testimony; but if I would just be careful and tell the truth, [ could tell the same thing every time.” a The time for gathering corn-fodder will soon be upon us. Do not stack it It is a waste of time —a waste of fodder, and hence a waste of money. As it is cured take it to the barn or shelter and pack it away As it is managed on a great many of our farms we know of no crop that costs as much, in proportion to its value, as corn-fodder and the chief cost is the wasteful practice of stacking it out in the weather. ——--.

C. August 5, 18886. By the joint action of the Boards of Directors of the “North Carolina In- sane Asylum” at Raleigh, and the “Western North Carolina Insane Asy- lum” at Morganton, and by virtue of Section 2243 of the Code, the Dividing Line between the two Institutions has been changed so as to commence on the Virginia line between Person and (rranville counties, running South with the astern boundary lines of the coun- ties of Persons, Durham, Chatham, Moore and Richmond, to the South Carolina line; 1¢ being the same line as at present established by Act of Con- cress between the Eastern and West- -ern Federal Judicial Districts of North Carolina. Horeafter all applications for the ad- mission of patients from counties West of said line will be made to the Super- intendeut of the *Western North Caro- lina Insane Asylum” at Morganton, and all applications from counties Hast of said line will be made to the Saper- intendent of the "North Carolina In- sane Asylum’ at Redeigh.

Some queer things can be seen about the Capital during the last days of the session. One of the queerest is the crowd of collectors. Coming to Con- gess may be an honor, but it cannot be suid to make men honorable. The average of dead-beats in Congress is quite as great as outside. On the last days of the session you will find a swarm of flourists, livery stable men, hotel and boarding-house keepers, con- stables and Professional — collectors swarming the corridors, looking after delinquent members and trying to catch them in the halls. There are members who systematically rob hotels and haberdashers and all sorts of tradesmen right and left. Nothing ean be legal- ly done with a member of Congress for obtaining money under false pretenses, though it is a jailable offence when committed by common people. The only remedy is to make the transaction known. If the records of the Congres- sional dead-beats could be printed a good many people would be astonished. A Rich Joke. The Washington dispatches disclose a rich joke on the Senate. It has been the fashion of the Senate committees to attempt to discredit the sincerity and good faith of the President in his removal or suspension of Republican officials. They have studiously tried to make it appear that the President had made removals for party purposes only, andin disregard of his avowed purposes and pledges. In order to give the suspended ofticial a “send off” with a fine certificite of character and diploma of martyrdom, the commit- | tees have in numerous cases made re- ports.and spread them upon the jour- nal of the Senate, reciting in substance that the suspended official was a faith- ful one and was suspened for political reasons, and for no cause reflecting on | his character or conduct, personal or official. A case has come to Heht which has very much shaken the value of these indorsements. Away back in the early part of Mr. Cleveland's administration he had appointed.one Alonzo P. Sharp Postmaster at McCook, Neb. Sharyr was appointed as a Democrat. But he | followed the bad precedents of too many Repubhean officials, and was | soon short in his accounts. ‘Thereupon | Mr. Cleveland = promptly suspended him, and nominated one ‘fhompson to) succeed him. The papers were sent to the Senate, showy that Sharp was | short in his accounts, and was uo long. | er fit for public trust in a pubke office. With these faets and undisputed . oe ai | proof of their truth before them, the Senate committee gravely report to the Senate the following, which will be found in the Congressional Record of June 3, page 0587: On the [ith day of February, 1886, the President nominated to the Senate I. A. ‘Thompson to be postmaster at McCook, Neb., vice A. P. Sharp, sus- pended during the recess of the Senate. The suspension seems to have been made for political reasons only, and the commitlee has not found anything in the case reflecting upon the person- | al or official character or conduct of the suspended officer. Mr. Sharp, who was kicked out for i Democratic thief, tinds himself im- mortalized in the Senate record Republican martyr. he been proved a rascal who ought to be turned out than the Republican Senators claimed him as their own and clapped on his brow the martyr's crown. Although a proved defaulter, repudiated by his sureties, the Repub- liean Senators found nothing in his case “reflecting upon his” personal or official character or conduct.” Several of the inferences are irresis- tibly suggested by this incident: Kiast -- That a Senate certificate plastered upon the front of a kicked out official isa very poor label of character. Secondly—That when a Demoerat in office turns out to bea rogue, he thereby is proved to be a spotless Re- publican, and, as such, the Senate takes him under the wgis of its protec- tion. Thirdly —that the Repubhean Sena- tors consider that when an oflicer ap- plies to. his own use the government moneys and becomes the terror, of his own sureties, there is nothing in such a state of facts which reflects “upon his personal or official character.” As the Senate record must be taken for absolute verity, there is no escape from these conclusions.--New York Star. asia a> ED + <i A Surprised Englishman. “What surprised you most when you landed in America 7” was asked of a newly arrived Englishman the other day.

The last Day of the Trial at Bethany. DR. ADAMS, OF AUGUSTA, PRESENTS THE PROSECUTION —DR. WOODROW DEFENDS HIS DOCTRINES—HE IS DECLARED NOT GUILTY ON BOTH COUNTS—HIS ARGU- MENT. Breruany, Ga., August 17.—A large crowd was present at the Woodrow trial for heresy, before the Augusta Presbytery today. After sensational passages between Dr. Adams, and Woodrow, Dr. Adams, the accused, proceeded to cross-examine him- self as to his course in preferring charges against Woodrow, after which argument began by Dr. Adams on be- half of the prosecution. The only point was the correctness of views held by the accused. Were they in accord with the scriptures as interpreted by the Presbyterian church? We thought it the most important case coming before the house. It was a crisis in the church. We are trying Dr. Woodrow on the question of evolution, either as an ab- stract principle or scientific hypothesis. Dr. Woodrow admits he finds nothing in the Bible to contradict the theory that all things were made by the immediate act of the Creator, and that it was develop- ed by evolution. The speaker then at length reviewed Dr. Woodrow’s argu- ments and position on the question at issue, calling attention to the belief held that God's word teazhes that man’s His | spiritual nature came into existence by the fiat of the Almighty. He drew the conclusion from the evidence that Dr. | Woodrow lield that just as the horse | came man came. soul was immediately created. ; “You, gentlemen of the court, must | say today, is this to be the doctrine your church founded on the scriptures, as interpreted by standards? Are you pre- pared to make this admission ?” Dr. Adams argued to prove Dr. Woodrow had passed the age of doubt in teaching evolution and had accepted evolution as true beyond peradventure. ‘The scriptures are not silent on the The faith boti. give accounts of the imme- ‘diate making of man. The defendant having sworn to adopt the Standards and church could not subject. 3ible and confessions of | catechisms of exercise the right of private judgment _to teach any other doctrine. Dr. Wood- row is bound by the story of creation in the standards just as by othftr rules. Either have the standards altered, else The confession of | faith said God's body was erected after all “the other creatures. Dr. Wood- row’s theory was that it was being created along with other creatures all the time. step down and out. “(rod created man,” says one church, “out of the dust of the earth, and wo- man out of, the rib of man. Should Dr. Woodrow be acquitted by the pres- | bytery, the church would be pronoun- ced in error.” Dr. Woodrow, defense, announced that the principles of his address were true, and would prevail against all opposition. He said his work had nothing to do with his ‘change in views. I evolution, here, for [ would consider it a profanation to discuss a question of pure science in a court of the Lord Jesus Christ, but thinking it unsafe for the presbytery to base any action on the views asx interpreted by Dr. Adams, he would explain that he had traced layer after layer, and fosil, and knew along with others that these forms of life have followed each other in That is the part My accuser’s In his own will not discuss that particular order. that is not a hypothesis. hypothesis that this isa hypothesis is a vast mistake. Iam surprised that Dr. Adams should be ashamed of having been a quadruped. “Explain what yon mean by your last assertion.” “T man that man before birth pass- ed through these intermediary stages. How are you going to prove that I am wrong? [ have never said that evolu- tion was taught in the Bible, or any- thing like it. But Ido say that the bible does not tell us whether the pro- cess was mediate or immediate.” Dr. Woodrow said the standards did not go further in explaining the crea- tion of man than the Bible had done. He affirmed, in spite of what Dr. Adams had said about him, that he did believe in the Bible and all that it taught. Was he compelled to believe in what it did no€ teach? He affirmed that he would not re-write a single syllable of the church standards. He would not take man’s meaning in pre- ference to God's meaning. Dr. Woodrow appealed in the name of the Master that 1 word or oppro- bium in the church be placed; that no additional meaning be placed on God’s word. , One the firal vote thirteen voted for Dr. Woodrow not guilty and nine voted him guilty on the first count of the indictment. On the other counts the majority of his votes was larger Dr. Adams, conducting the prosecution, at once gave notice of appeal to synod in Sparta, in October. The presbytery then adjourned. ee cee A Missing Bridgroom. Against a host of competitors I had won the love of Mary Ireton, and was to lead her to the alter on the morrow; and as I sat there, that ¢éalm, bright evening, gazing out at the stars that seemed to look smilingly, there rose but a single disquieting question—would I beable to make her happy as she deserved to be? It was late when I retired to my chamber. Turning down the light, I threw myself on the bed, hoping in sleep to annihilate the remaining hours that delayed my happiness. I slept, and must have slept soundly, for the time passed seemed a_ blank when the sun’s rays penetrating my still closed eyelids, [ lay in’ that half dreamy state in which the newly awakened ‘sleepers suspended memo- ries one by one, come straggling back. “Why, it’s my wedding day!” I ex- claimed at length, opening my eyes with a start and sitting bolt upright. “But where—where am I?” was the next exclamation, as I sprang to my feet and looked wildly about. I had—I was certain of that—gone to bed in my own room, a chamber on the second floor of the commodious new dwelling with which. in’ view of my prospective change of life, I had re- ylaced the old cabin on my ranch which fal served well enough for a frontier bachelor’s home. But where was it I now found my- self? No ceiling was overhead. No walls surrounded me. [ had lain down the night before without undressing, and still had on the same garments— the only tangible circumstance to re- pel a grewiag suspicion that I was un- der some strange delusion as to my identity. I was alone, in the heart of a dense forest, without the presence of human sight or sound! How had I come there?—had never been a sleep walker, and could hardly think it ere@ible | could have been con- veyed thither without my own known- ledge. My speculations were interrupted by the sound of waves at no great distance. I hastened in the direction whence it came, and soon reached a low, shely- ing beach against which the surf beat violently. Was Ton the main land, or on one of the innumberable islands that dot the gulf off the Southern coast of ‘Vexas, near which my ranch lay ? I marked the spot and began a brisk walk along the shore. At intervals, as my eyes glanced seaward, patches of forests, like wooded islands, rose to view, but all too distant to be reached without a boat, had I been ever so ex- pert a swimmer. In somthing over two hours by my watch, which I found in its fob, I came aigain in sight of the mark that noted my starting point. It was now certain that [ was on an island, by whatever means I had gotten there. And, if as I conjectured, it was one of the unin- habited group that lay some leagues off the Texan coast, | might remain there for months, years, a life time, indeed, without a chance rescue. No vessels ever came that way, and there was nothing —not even a mustang—to en- tice visitors, red or white. It would be tedious, and nothing like as entertaining as the story of Robin- son Crusoe, to tell of my solitary life for the next two months. The inlets abounded with fish, which I found no dithculty in scooping up with a net made of strips of pawpaw bark knotted together. I had some matches in my cigar case, with which IT was enabled to start a fire, there being a good sup- ply of dry wood in the shape of fallen branches. I was, at least, in no dang- er of starving, and might even enjoy the luxury of cocked food. There were several varieties of small game too, surprisingly tame from not being hunted. With my pocket knife I whittled out a bow from a tough piece of sappling, which I furnished with a string twisted from fine strands of bark; and equipped with this, to vary my ‘liet of fish with an occasional quail or rabbit. What most of all pressed upon my spirits was the fear of what Mary lreton might think of my mysterious absence. How could she account for it? How could L account for it ration- ally myself? Must she not conclude that [ had shamefully jilted her? The very thought was tortaring beyond en- durance. One morning asI Jay in my rude hut ruminating on the hardship of my fate, and trying to solve its terrible mystery, I heard the report of a gun followed by a loud halloo. Bounding to my feet, | started and ran in the di- rection of thesound, shouting with all my might. "* Words cannot picture the joy that thrilled meat the sight of a small schooner, from which a small boat with two men, was putting in for the shore. I dashed into the surf, to catch the rope flung out; and the next mo- ment the prow rested safely on the beach. ; *“Owens Forbes! how are you old boy ?” cried a hearty voice that I had not heard for ten years, but recognized at once as Dick Jocelyn’s, my old chum at Cranboy’s Academy,and whom I had invited to come a thousand miles to be “best man” at my wedding. - Dick must have thought a bear was hugging him, as, in all the shagginess of two months’ growth of hair and beard, 1 sprang forward and caught him in my arms. “Dick, my dear old friend, how did you find me out ?” 1 cried sobbing like a baby. “Come aboard the schooner and I'll tell you,” said Dick. I suppose you have no particular amount of packing saeeeres ith a lau sprang into the boat, followed by Bick ail ie companion, the latter first giving us a good shove out, and in two minutes we were on the schooner’s deck. “Do you know how I got there 2” I asked Dick, as we scudded by my late abode. “Not possessing the gift of wings it’s safe to presume you didn’t fly,” he re- plied. ~ “But that isn’t answering your question. I only found out this truth myself two nights ago. You know Lot Gresham, lecneee o “Yes; he was my chief rival for Mary Ireton’s hand. But stay—what does Mary think ?” “Be patient,” said Dick, “and you shall hear all.” “After traveling night and day to be at your wedding. 1 arrived to find the bridegroom missing and everything in confusion. There were but two people who didn't think you were neces false. Your humble servant was one, and Mary Ireton the other.” “God bless her!’ I couldn't help interrupting. Mr. fea it seemed, had always favored Gresham’s suit; and after your desertion. as he called it, he sought again to urge him on his daughter, but her refusal was firmer than ever. “IT was taking a stroll the other night, and at the same time trying to think out the puzzle of your disappear- ance, When I. overheard two men in earnest conversation. “Some words I overheard caused me to stop and listen. I soon dicovered that the speakers were your late ab- ductors, and that one of them was Lot Gresham. The other was insisting on the plot, and Lot was begging off be- cause his scheme of marrying Miss Ireton and getting in funds by it hid come to naught. “All Thad to do was to follow up Gresham's accomplice, pay him a liber- al sum down, and promise as much more when he had_ piloted me to you, which he has faithfully done.” “But how did they spirit me away ?” I couldn't refrain from asking. “Hasily enough, They hid them- selves in that big, lonely house of yours ; waited ‘till you fell asleep; chloroform- ed you, and kept you in that condition till they left you ina place whence your coming back was as little likely as from the grave.” I will not prolong my story by attempting to describe the meeting again of dear Mary and myself. As my friend had truly stated, she had never for a moment doubted me. A new wedding was fixed, and this time the groom was forthcoming. It was a lucky thing for Lot Gresham, considering the state of public senti- ment, that he was among the first to learn of my return, and took prompts advantage of the knowledge to decamp to parts unknown. The Average Well-Water, Dr. E. J. Marsh in the Sanitary Moniter. It isa common belief that when a well is dug pure spring water, oozing from the ground, is obtained; that is true in the case of artesian wells, but, although possible, is rarely the case in ordinary surface wells, and under this head are embraced all wells not more than fifty feet deep. The water ob- tained from these wells is merely the water which has fallen on the surface of the ground in rains, and has perco- lated through the soil and becomes collected in this excavation. It is call- ed ground water. Even granting that some of the water may be spriug water some of it must be the result of drain- age, and the amount of this will de- pend upon the rain-fall and the char- acter of the soil. A moment’s reflection will show that wells must act as drains to the surrounding soil. Just as a wet field may be dried by digging one or more trenches, into which the soil may drain and be carried away, so when a deep trench or well is dug the water from the surrounding soil will neces- sarily tend to drain into it. This is not only a matter of reasoning but a matter of experience. The following case is reported: “In consequence of the escape of the contents of a barrel of petroleum or benzine, which had been buried in an orchard, a circuit of wells 60 feet below and 250 or 300 yards distant became so affected that the ocenpiers of fifteen houses, con- taining eighty two inhabitaats’ Were for ten days unable to use the water for cooking or - drinking.” When wells are first dug in.rural distrieta the water is pureand may remain so for a long time. Fortunately, the soil possesses some powers of purification, and although the soil may receive pol- luting matter on the surface of the ground, some of this matter is detain- ed mechanically by filteration, ‘and other portions may Be decomposed and taken up by growing plants and trees. But this power of the soil is limited, When the sources of pollution are stant and numerous, as in cities, from privies, cess-pools, slop water, offal and the manure of domestic animals, and sometimes from leaky and imper- fect sewers and drains, the soil, becomes “filth-sodden,” and the filth is carried deeper and deeper, until finally it a pears in our drinking water. Sanitary literature is full of instances of the outbreaks of epidemics of diarrhes, ty- phoid fever and cholera, which haye been traced to the drinking of well- water thus polluted; and even though the city may go ghrough one or more years without such epidemics, it is not a pleasant thought for the intabitants to indulge in, that they are drinking the drainage of their privies and cesre pools, and yet they must realize the idea that their wells are and must be drains for the surrounding ground with all its contents that are capable of s0- lution in water. Science cannot te‘ s that a given water is charged with the poison of a definite disease, but it can tell us that it has received the pro- ducts of decaying matter from an‘- mal sources, and experience has shown, again and again, that such water is dangerous to health. The sheriff took charge of the Chicago magazine before Miss Cleve- land did, and she might say: “In the midst of Literary Life we are in death.” A CARD.

The blood of man has mvchto doin shaping his actions during his pilgrimage through this troublesome world, regardless of the amout cf present cr expectant money in pocket or stored away in bank, It is a conceded fact that we appear as our blood makes us, and the purer the blood, the happier, healthicr, prettier and wiser we are; hence the oft repeated interroga- tory, “how is your blood?’ With pure streams of life-giving fluid coursing through our veins, bounding through our hearts and ploughing through our physical frames, Our morals become better, our constitution stronger, our ineellectual faculties more acute and grander, and men, women and children happier, healthier and more lovely. The unprecedenntial demand, the un- paralelled curate powers, and the unmis- takable proff from those of unimpeachable character and integrity, point with’ an unerring finger to B. B. B.--Botanic Blood Balm—as far the best, the cheapest, the quickest and the grandest and most yowerful biood remedy ever before known to mortal man, in the relief aud positive cure of Scrvotula, Rheumatism, Skin dis- eases, ail taints of blood poison, Kidney complaints, old ulcers and sores, cancers, cutarrh, ete. B. B. B. is only about three years old-— a baby in age, a giant in power—but no remedy in America can make or ever hae made sucha wonderful showing in its magical powers in caring and entirely cradicating the above complaints, and & gizantic sales in the face of frenzied oppo~ sition and would-be moneyed monopo- lists. Letters from all points where introduced are pouring in upon us, speak jn it its Joudest praise. Some say they receive more benefit from one bottle of B, B. B. than they have from twenty, thirty and fifty and cvan one hundred bottles of a boasted decoction of insert and non-med- inal roots and branches of common forest trees. We hoid the proof in black and white, and we also hold the fort. Policeman’s Views. Mrs. M. M. Prince, laving at 38 west fair St. Atianta, Ga., has been troubled for several months with an ugly form of catarrh, attended with copious aud offen- sive discharze from beth nostrils. Her system became so affected and reduced that she was confined to bed at my house for some time, and received the attention of three physicians, and used a dozen bottles of an cxtensivcly advertised blood remedy, all without the least benefit. She finallg commenced the use of B.B.B. with a decided improvement at once, and when ten bottles had been used, she was entirely cured of all symptoms «f catarrh, It gave her an appetite, and incrased her atrength rapidly, and I cneerfully ree- ommend it asa quick and cheap Blood Purifier.

From the Bulletin. =, The Board of Agriculture, -at its July meeting, resolved to establish a fully equipped weather station in con- nection with the Experiment Station. They found that a great deal of the work of such a station was being done ‘at the Experiment Farm already, and and that the full duties of a weather station could be easily discharged by ‘its existing agencies with some help | from the Chief Signal officer of the U. | Ss. Army. The Commissioner of Agriculture was instructed to lay the petition of the Board for assistance before the Chief Signal Officer and the Director of the Station was instructed to organ- ize the service as soon as the necessary | means were obtained. Gen. W. B. Hazen, the Chief Signal Officer, gave a prompt and favorable reply to the petition of the Board and promised them the assistance of an ex- perienced weather observer as soon as the service was commenced. The en- terprise will, therefore, be put on foot just as soon as the buildings of the Experiment Farm, which are rapidly approaching completion, are ready to receive it. ae Gas as Fuel. Natural gas has not proved to be the great boon to Wellsville, Ohio, at least, that has been claimed for it. The manufacturers in that place as well as in East Liverpool, supposing that the supply of this gas was practically un- limited, changed their plants so as to use this fuel instead of coal, but only to tind that the flow of gas was so weak that some of them either had to stop or resort to coal. A dispatch from Wellsville says the loss on account of the failure of the supply of gas will be considerable, especially to the rolling mills. One leading manufacturer there predicts that manufactured gas will soon come into general use for fuel purposes, claiming that itis cheaper than coal and more reliable than nat- ural gas.— Man. Record. ae Delights of the Kiss. From Wilson Mirror. A kiss is the visible sign and token of an inner sentiment which no words ean express. The eyes and the ton- gue do a good deal of appreciable work of loyeemaking, but the meeting of the lips is the sign and seal, the chrism, so to speak, which transforms the earthy into the divine. Love without a kiss would be like the harp without the hand, the rainbow without its hue; the brook without its babble; the land- iscape without its colors; the tube rose —sweetest flower for scent that blows without its odor; the borealis with- out its variations; poetry without rhyme; Spring without sunhght; a garden without foliage or marriage jwithout love. The young woman | whose ideas teach her to. recoil from a |kiss cheats the lover of the joys of loy- jing. and those good old hours of woo- ling and cooing would be robbed of | earth wear for a time the glorious sem- blance of Heaven, and which make mortals dream of the raptures of Para- dise regained. > a Senator Sherman had the Money. | Columbus Dispatch. “Senator,” said a strange gentleman, addressing Hon. John Sherman on a train the other day, “the conductor of this train has lost his pocket-book, containing $200, and unless he finds it he is aruinedman. Now, believe you have it in your power to relieve him of his embarrassment. In short, Senator. I beheve you have that pocket-book in | your valise.” “Sir! exclaimed the Senator, rising to his feet. “Pardon, me, Senator; I do not accuse you of unything. It was all a nistake.’ “Well, sir, let us look,” said the Senator, still .very indignant. The valise was thrown open, and there, sure enough, was the pocket-book. The Senator had gone to the conductor's room to make a change of linen, and had pulled down the blinds. In the | darkness he had gathered up with the cast-off linen the pocket-book, which the conductor had_ carelessly left upon the seat. It took lots of nerve for the strange gentleman to seem to accuse the Senator of theft, but he was so firmly conyinced of the accuracy of his theory, on being made acquainted with the facts, that he undertook the task. - $< +g-o fe Be Modest. One of the most important rules in the scienee of manners is that you pre- serve an almost absolute silence con- cerning yourself. Play the comedy, some day, of speaking of your own interests to ordinary acquaintances, and you will see feigned attention swiftly followed by indifference and then by weariness, until everyone has found a pretext for leaving you. But if you wish to group about you the sympathies of all ard to be considered a charming and agreeable fellow talk to them of themselves, seek some way of bringing each of them into action in turn; then they will smile at you think well of you and praise you when you are gone. . —_— + _ It is said China and Japan are buy- ing American dried apples in large quantities. ed giving season, | swell parties the coming Clean Out the Ditches. It is important to have hill-side ditches cleaned out and repaired before the push of fall work comes on. See that weak places in the banks are strengthened, and that all grass or weeds in the ditch are removed, to prevent clogging and filling up during winter. By doing the work now, the roots of the grass on the banks will have time to catch on before frost, and thu; enable the banks the better to withstand the force of the winter rains. — - An Alligator Feasts on a Tramp. - From Orange City (Fla.) Times. Last week a man, persumedly a tramp, knocked at L. P.'Thursby’s door about nine o'clock at night, after the family had retired. fr. Thursby struck a match and responded to the call. The man stated that he had walked fifteen miles that afternoon to take the night boat bound north, and got left, and wanted to stay overnight. Thursby handed him a key and pointed to his barn, stating that that was the best he could do for him. Not until after Mr. Thursby had_ retired some time. did he think of a ten-foot alliga- tor his boys had in the barn for the entertainment of strangers next winter, and he worried considerably about the man. As soon as he dressed he hurried out to the barn next morning to see about the man. He found the door locked, with the key turned on the inside. He forced a side window open, found the alligator in its usual corner, but the man was missing. The evi- dence gathered seems to point to the destruction of the man during the night, as the animal ate nothing what- ever during the next few days. Noth- ing can be heard of the man, and it is believed he came to an untimely end that night. [The reader is at liberty to exercise his judgment when it comes to be- lieving the yarn. ] oo Must Consult Stebbins. From the Detroit Free Press. There was an old couple at the Third street station the other day who had been to the Niagara Falls, and were waiting for a train to their home in the interior of the State. They felt they had accomplished a big thing, and were consequently quite elated.

Here is a true parrot story. A lady living in Colorado has a very clever parrot; but, like clever babies, it can rarely be made to “show off” at the desired time. The owner of the parrot one afternoon gave a tea party to a dozen or more ladies, and Miss Polly postively declined assisting in the entertainment of the guests. Not one word would she say, but kept up a constant snarling and snap- ping that was most inhospitable, even disgraceful. While at the tea-table the ladies dropped into the feminine habit of all ‘talking at the same time. This so disgusted Polly that she finally conde- scended to speak, and in her angriest tone she shneked : “Ya, ya, ya! All talk Gabble, gabble, gabble !” _ ne nene ree It May Have Been a Hint.

The Homestead Law Must Go. {From Wilson Advance.] The homestead law was “shapen in sin and conceived in iniquity.” — It shields the rascals and works hardship on the honest man. The mortgage system was the natural outcome of the law protecting men from their honest debts. It was the only way by which a man could protect himself when he sold to men who were not well off in this world’s goods. ee oe Model Trespass Notice.

C., AGGESH2, 1886. What Does It Matter. Wealth and glory, and place and power. What are they worth to me or to you? And death stands ready to claim his due; Sounding honors or heaps of gold, What are they all when all is told? A pain or a pleasure, a smile or a tear— What does it matter which we claim? For we step from the cradle into the bier, And a careless world goes on the same. Hours of gladness or hours of sorrow, What does it matter to us tomorrow ? Truth of love, or vow of friend— Tender caresses or cruel sneers— What do they matter to us in the end? For the brief day lies, and the long night hears, Passionate kisses, or tears of gall, The grave will open and cover them all. Homeless vagrant, or honored guest, Poor and humble: or rich and great, All are racked with the world’s unrest, All must meet with a common fate.

Chewing can tamel seems worse than the obnoxious habit of chewing tobacco, it makes both the lips and the teeth quite red. The assamese, like other Orientals, marry very young. — First of alla bargain is made between the father of the young manand the father of the girl. The matter being talked over, the young man’s father agrees to pay the girl’s father a certain sum. This is called the betrothal, and to confirm the contract a feast is given to the friends of the girl by the father of the young man. When the boy reaches the age of 14 or 15 the marriage takes place; friends of both purties are invited, and a great feast is given, last- ing several days, at the close of which the bride and bridegroom are carried to their house shoulder high. In clothing, the Assamese differ very little To My Mother. FROM HEINE. BY JOHN THE LONDON SPECTATOR.

In habits, they are a very lazy, easy-going people, displaying very little intellect- ual power, and however anxious the (rovernment may be to employ them in public offices, the majority of the best posts are filled by Bengalese. In the working of our estates, very little local labor can be obtamed, and even the little we have is very uncertain: five to six hours isa good day's work for an Assamee, and then you don’t get him every day. The only work they care for Is pruning, basket making, or other light work: hoeing and such other mannal labour is out of the question.

The only agncultural im- plements used are a rude wooden ploagh, consisting of one upright pole, and a wooden socket projecting from the bottom; this is drawn by a couple of bullocks or a buffalo; for harrows, a bunch of prickly bushes tied together is used; for reaping, the usual imple- ment is a billhooked knife, about nine inches long: for threshing, the old winnowing the dhan shake it up and down something like what was done in England long ago. sells part of his grain to the Bengalee | cvolie for about three rupees per maund (SUlbs.), the remainder he keeps for himself and family, and as their food almost wholly consists of curried bhat, pigeons, tish, goat's flesh, &c., they live quite happily and contented.

[hey have too great feasts yearly, one in April called Bor Behu, and another oot Behu. = The principe! parts consist of killing a few goats as sacrifices, feasting, as music (such as it is), and dancing for several days.

They are fair workers with the hoe, but are often very troublesome customers to deal with; a manager who will employ more than 1G0 of them at once is thought a bold man. Besides Kacharese, we have similar visitors from the hills Kiaas. These people can handle an axe ora kmfe with much adeptness, and they are generally eimployved cut- ting jungle.

In most cases they remain there all their fe or at least 10 or 15 years; when they reach a cer- tain age, they are called dependents and receive a pension, sv that they are better off than some people think. Those who leave after serving a number of years «generally take up a piece of land, build a house and settle down, having saved enough money to keep them the remainder of their lives. In this way Assam is being rapidly col- onized by Bengalese and the Ass:umese in their turn are dying out. Their houses are built much in the same style as those of the Assamese, but all are together; the village, so to speak. is generally known the lines. In religion there are all sorts. ‘Two gen- eral festivals are held annually, one in March called the Fugwa, and the other in September called the Doorga Pooja. The Fugwa consists of a great feast at which everybody puts on his showilest clothes. Music and dancing and paint- ing each other's faces with a kind of rel powder called “Fak woogooie are among the things indulged in, end at the end of it all drink is used to excess. The Doorga Pooja is the greatest festi- val of the year. The ceremonies differ according to the particular part of the country. The chief office consists 1n sacrificing goats, pigeons, ete., to the god Kali. If the first stroke of the axe kills the goat that signifies that it is accepted, but if it should require two strokes, it is counted asa bad omen. After the animal is killed the blood is daubed on a long bamboo with the tips of the four right hand fingers. as A EX. | piece of cloth to serve as a flag is after- wards fastened on the end of the bam- boo and placed upright in the ground to commemorate the event. © Another part of the business consists of an image of Kali being thrown into the river, and if it sinks thatis taken as ! signifving a good season, but should it float, it is regarded as the omen ef a bad season. There are many other cere- monies, soine performed by elephants, ke., the conclusion being niuch like the Fugwa, and Ting Ting heads are rather fashionabie when work is re- sumed. The favorite Bengalee Liquor is lau pam, a kind of intoxieant made from fermented rice-—I mean favourite because they cannot afford to pay for European liquors, though whisky or beer seems to be liked uncommonly well when the Sahib gives them any. In clothing nothing is “too loud” for the natives. They are also very fond of jewellery. Bracelets are worn on the arms and ankles; rings in heir ears, noses, toes and fingers. A little casket is hung round their necks from infancy to keep away the evil spirits. It regard to tea planting afew particulars may be of interest. called | yy | Phe reals The seed for the tea resembles black marbles. We plant about January in a piece of good land, about four inches apart. These plants soon appear above ground, and in about nine months’ time they are about two feet high. In December they are removed into the new clearance prepared for them, and planted at intervals of 6ft. by Sft. It takes two years mere before they yield any leaf, and then for the two succeeding vears they yield but very sparing quantities. Plucking generally commences about the end of March, und is carried on all through the year until December. The leaves after being plucked are spread on trays to wither them; this operation in fair | weather takes about twelve hours. | Afterwards the leaves are rolled and fired by machinery: ther they are | picked sifted and finally fired before | being packed. From December to March the bushes are pruned, clearances j made, building and sundry other oper- ations are carned on. Hoeing and | cultivation, of course, is done all the pyear round. — ‘This is absolutely neces- jsary, owing to the rapid growth of jungle. ‘The principal beasts of burden jare the elephant, buffalo, and bullock. | Horses are foreign to the Assamese, and jure only used by Shahibs for riding and | driving purposes. The climate for about four months of ths year resembles | July in England, only there is little or | noran.

English ‘people here, as in other foreign coun- tries, are very sociable with each other, jand many are the pleasant days and evenings spent at tennis, polo. and }ericket. Eughsh flowers and vegeta- | bles grow splendidly out here; nearly -every resident has a garden worth look- ing at. Orchids and gerauiums are to be found as common as any other kind of jungle; any tree with good shade is almost sure to have an orchid some- where about it. There is plenty of shooting to be had from the tiger down to the smipe. Jackal hunting is great- | ly resorted to now, and many fine runs } are made over the *Pitars.” e -<2- 5 A Runaway Train. THRILLING ACCIDENT ON THE ASIIE- VILLE AND SPARTANBURG, ROAD. Charlette A Observer. A construction train, heavily loaded with dirt, yesterday got beyond con- 'trol while descending a heavy grade, and shot down the mountain side with ifnghtful velocity, hailling tive of the jconvicts and one guard who were ou board, and wounding eight other con- victs. The accident occurred on the steep grade near Saluda, and from the | best information which can we obtam it seems thatit was caused by the breakage, or falure of the brakes to act. ‘The tram was quite a long one, composed entirely of tlat cars, all load- ed with dirt. On top of the dirt on each car was a spuad of convicts, and vuards were distributed among them. The grade near Saluda is a very steep one, and just as the train had be- gun the descent the engineer found that the train was pushing him ahead. and despite every exertion, he quickly found himself powerless to check the speed of the train. The long line of curs behind him, all heavily loaded. pushed his engine forward as if it had been a mere toy, and the speed of the trfin increasing with each revolution the wheels, it was soon along the rails at the rate of a mile a minute. The convicts aboard the train had nothing to hold on to except the tumbling dirt, which was blown from the ears in showers by the force of the wind. Some of the convicts were blown bodi- ly from the cars, while others were forced overboard with tumbling dirt. The train made a run of two miles before it could be stopped, and along the route back to its starting point were strewn the bodies of dead and in- jured convicts. Five convicts and one enard were picked up dead, but we have been unable to Jearn the names of the unfortunates. Eight convicts were qiite severely injured, buat of those who manaved to remain on the cars not one was hurt. ot ae 7 Perscns Overcome By Heat. As we are in the midst of the heated term of the year it may be interesting to know how to treat persons who may be prostrated by the heat. Tf one who is overcome by heat is pale, weak and pulseless, he wants a teaspoonful of strong stimulant. Tf he is’ florid in the face. and his heart is running like a windnill, he wants an application of water with ice on the temples and wrists. The first is “overcome by heat,” the second is genuine “sun- stroke,” and a goad deal more danger- ous. The former is preceded by nausea and Cizziness, the latter, if there are any premonition at all, by sudden dimness of sight. everything turning green, ae _- ~- => a oe The fact that the Democrats of In- diana have mustered up courage to adopt an unequivocal tariff plank, for revenue only, 1s an interesting political pointer.

Will we Let it Slip Through Our Fingers? Winston Sentinel. The South Atlanticand Northwestern Railroad Co. is the name of an organ- ization which proposes to build a trunk line, designed to connect the great Northwest with the Atlantic seaboard at Smithville, thirty miles below Wil- mington. ‘The link necessary to be built is from Smithville to Bristol, Tenn. Beginuing at Smithville the projected line is aimed to touch at Conwayboro, Marion and Bennettsville in northern South Carolina, thence the road will extend to Rockingham, in this State. cate having the road in contemplation, pause to go to Albemarle, in Stanly county, boro and through Cooke's Gap into | Tennessee. The other route, which is | shorter, throngh better country, easier | and less expensive to work, and touch- extends from Rockingham to Troy, in Montgomery county, thence to Lexing- | ton, on the North Corolina Road, to | to Winston and thence to Yadkinville, | Wilkesboro and on to Bristol. | Col. David Risley, representing the South Atlantic and Northwestern rail- road, visited Salisbury last week as.we learn from the Watchman, and held a consultation with leading business men of that place. Col. Risley states that the objects of this road are to make another shorter and better seaboard connection for the northwest, and make money out of the freight traffic imei- dent to a country containing fine coal beds, deposits of superior iron ore, and producing as great crops of grain and tobacco as does this section of North Carolina. He thinks thesé are suth- cient reasons for an adequate and con- ; tinued freight tratiic to the coast, and that the distribution of the local freights will give business to the west- bound trains. He claims that the pro- posed route will be 100 mules shorter to the sea-coast than any other line, and ,er, had one daughter and several sons.

There are the Booth family and Mme.

Then they lifted their precious burden and carried it back to {the home which she had left a few hours before with sucb a gay heart. Believing that her father’s anger was only temporary. she had evening after evening met her lover in the park; and, it is expected to become one of the mnost important and remunerative roads in the country. Col. Risley has been over the whole of the route and reports that the people very enthusiastic. The counties Brunswick and Stanly, through their Commissioners have already er- dered clections for the purpose of voting 100,060 each to the scheme. The situation is relieved of any risk whatever, by the syndicate assuring the people that not acent of the county subscriptions will be asked for until the road is built and trains are acutual- ly running. ‘This ought to be a mat- ter of encouragement for the people, doubly so, when Col. Risley avers that the road will surely be built. The contractor of the road, Myr. Bil- heimer, now has a corps of engineers engaged in making the survey from the Smithville end of the line, they are expected to reach Salisbury within a few weeks. If Salisbury bestirs herself she may doubtless win the route, but the Vutchman intimates as follows: “The seeming immediate prospect of active work on the Yadkin River Railroad,- and the papers already signed by the directors as the road with Dr. Em- mens of London, acts as a check on avery rapid movement of our leading people here in regard to the new trunk line scheme represented by Mr. Risley.” On the other hand, if Winston-Salem go immediately and earnestly to work this road can be attracted this way. Whatever is to be done in this matter must be done quickly. Our business men will have to act with emphasis and decision, or this road, like several others will elude our grasp and give us the go-by in not so hteral a manner as many of us would like best. Our crisis has arrived! Shall Wins- ton-Salem seize this opportunity and place herself on a grand trunk line that will make a teeming city of her, in very truth? Or shall we sit idly back and let our streets grow up in weeds, our real estate sink to the bot- tom, our store houses, placarded, “For Rent,’ our dwellings vacant and our popalatian gradually decreasing. Nog town ever grew to bea city of any extra dimensions with only 29 miles of Railroad, and Wiaston-Salem cannot be long an exception to this rule. We must have additional Railroad facilities! It is our vital need. To have then we must not only consent to voting at least $100,000 to the project but our leading men must first see that the road is brought this way. We must work, WorK, WORK, with vigor, energy and perseverance to gain this vreat industrial point, or else we must reup the bitter reward. ‘he Sentinel hopes the Chamber of Commerce will take hold of this pro- ject and put its best efforts to play to- ward a realization of the benefits to be derived from so important a Railroad connection. <i = —> ae It is a Philadelphia man who floats down stream in a barrel below Niagara Falls.

Pen Sketch of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. two weeks ago I went to Dr. Sunder- dent and Mrs. Cleveland. dent looks very much like his picture. his eyes are light, not dark. His stand- ing collar comes within an inch of his stiff picture, but wears a bright, ‘friendly expression; and I fancy that Cleveland eyes workings of the Department, ! for an answer. There is no use in dodging the issue and deceiving ourselves and friends, Macon, Ga., reports only slight At Harrisburg, Va., the shocks were candidates now in the field for Congress, but we can’t do it by being inactive. The | Independents and the Republicans will give us trouble and force us to work harder than some of the organs of the party seem to think. — Burlesque, satire and denunciation will not convince the Judgment of men; it will take something more reasonable and solid. We think a great deal more of a Republican than of an Independent. ‘The latter is the most unreasonable, the most contemptable, the most hypocritical, and the most to be feared. Ife holds with the hare and runs with the hounds. He declares himself your friend an stabs you under the fifth rib in the dark. He tries to trim and be natural; and drink swill out of both tubs at the same time. He will and he won’t; he won’t and he will. He is all things to all men, and amounts to nothing toany body. He has but one eye and turns ‘inwardly to eelf, Heisso utterly selfish that he would defeat the party he claims to love, and blot out its principles forever, that he might reign overits ruins. Yes, he would defeat and destroy both parties that he might become the cheif eook and bottle- Washer. Yes, he would do more, he he would destroy: the government and tear down the universe, that he might become king ofan wyinhabited globe.

Is Jean Edouard Champvalhters guil- ty of the wilful murder of Francaise Lucie Beanlanier 2° — —"Yes, by the majority.” The procureur general arose: “LT demand the application of article 302 of the penal code.” The president of the assizes, having consulted by a glance his two colleag- ues, said: “The court, upon due deliberation, condemns Jean Edonard Champvaliiers to suffer the pain of death, m expiation of his crimes.” And turning towards the prisoner, pale as death, and sup- ported by two ‘vendarmes,” he added, You have three days in which to ap- peal from the seutence which has been passed upon you. Champvalliers was an mtimiate friend of mine. We had been schoolmates: the same college had witnessed our early escapades. The same faculty had conferred upon us the coveted parch- ment, which, in solemn. ponderous Latin, proclhumed our astonishing scholastic abilities to a nonehalant world. Afterwards, he had become a banker, in. order to succeed his father who had long looked forward with yearning to retirement from active life, while T, in obedience to pronoun- ced Bohennan penchants, had conse- crated my youth to visiting the princi- pal countries of Europe. In spite of the distance and difference of taste which separated us, we still preserved our early intimacy, and each week re- ciprocally addressed each other a veri- table budget of our “impressions.” — It was by means of the Post that [ was apprised of his marriage with Malle de Kaspre: “a charming gurl,” he wrote, “with only one fault, that of being too beautiful.’ *Yoo beautiful!” ~T made answer. “have acare.” "Bah!" he re- their entrance a thrill of expectation | = = plied,she hasjust made her debut froma convent where she has ever been noted as an angel of frankness and virtue, and it shall be my-life’s joy to jealous- ly guard the treasure which has been confided to my keeping.

However, LET MY WIFE BEWARE Of ATTEMPTING TO CLASS ME in one of those categories which the Seigneur de Bourdeilles enu- merates so complacently in his ‘Dts- cours sur les Dames Galantes,’ for her life will be the forfeit for her lack of loyalty or loss of howor.” When, two months afterwards, I ‘saw Champvathers, my first question Wis: “Well! are you happy in your do- mestic life?” “Why certainly, very happy.” “Nota cloud upon the azare of your felicity 2” “Not one, [ assure vou.” I do wot know why, but it seemed to me that he hesitated a little in affirm- ing, thus positively, the plentitude of his blissful tranquility. However, his wite, to whom he presented me, appear- ed charming in every respect, as he had stated in his letters, neither shun- ning nor courting society, aud concen- trating all her affection upon her husband and cousin Lucie, who lived with them. Entirely reassured as to the peace and happiness of the little household, I took my leave of Champvalliers and resumed my wanderings over the Con- tinent.

Saccharine, the newly discovered coal- tar product, bids fair to work a com- plete revolution in the sugar and syrup industry. Iu Germany, where the new sugar 1s already being produced on quite a large scale, it is being largely used by bakers and confectioners, and by the manufacturers of bect-sugar and glucose. These latter sugars, although claimed to be superior in digestibility and healthfulness to cane sugar, are inferior toit in sweetness; and the ad- dition of a trifling fraction of saccha- raine makes them equal to the finest cane sugar in the market. Saccharine Is perhaps the most remarkable of all the marvelous products of the coal-tar industry. It isso sweet that a teas- poonéul converts a barrel of water into syrup. A small wafer of it converts the bitterest quinine solution or sourest acid drink into a regular molasses. It will therefore be invaluable in disguis- ing and rendering palatable all the bit- ter and sour tastes in medicine without changing the character or action of the drugs. Saccharine does not decay, mould, or ferment, neither is it attacked by bacteria, It 1s said to have no in- jurious effect upon the human system; what effect has been noticed seems to be beneficial rather than otherwise. This immunity from deeay will render it of great utility in preserving delicate fruits an? vegetables. For family use, it is not claimed that the new substance will entirely replace sugar, but for flav- oring purposes it is thought that it will. In the future the new sugar will be used by druggists, physiciays, bakers, confectioners, preserve and pickle mak- ers, liquor distillers, Wine makers and dealers in’ bottlers’ supplies.

MeClure, the man who runs the syndicate which furnishes short stories for the papers, says that he gets an immense amount of trash, of course, and an average of one hundred and tifty stories a week. Out of this num- ber he finds it difficult to select as many as he needs that are suitable for his purpose, the trouble being that writers either make their manuscript too long or do not hit a popular idea. He pays prices all the way from $25 to $500 a story, according to its merits, the aver- age price being about $50. Mr. Me- Clure says that the author who receives ‘the largest compensation is W. D. } Howells, who will not write except upon special contract, and fixes his own figures according to the length of time spent upon his contribution. Mark Twain will not write at all for any- i body. He is so rich that he does not have to, and heis eareful of his reputa- tion that he will not run the risk of damaging it. Once ina wuile he sits down and writes something when he happens to be in the mood, and then can command any price he Wants, With these exceptions, the authors receiving the highest prices are Frank R.

Yesterday afternoon a little before five o'clock, an alarm of fire was given, and everybody deserted his business to find that P. D.

It is thought that the fire was started by one of the sheriff's little boys, who was play- ing in the stable just before the fire was discovered. Seay, a horse well known in all the country as a valuable animal, was chained in his stall and could not be rescued. A number of wagons, buggies, harness, etc. were in the barn, and almost nothing was saved.

A Washington telegram says: Some time ago acting Secretary of State Fairchild instructed Mr. Krites, chief of the division of abandoned property to carry into effect the provisions of | the act of Congress authorizing the Secretaryof the Treasury to deliver to the owners certain artiMles of jewelry, ete., captured by the United States army during the civil war and deposited im the Treasury Department. Mr. Krites has accordingly prepared rules and regulations which will govern the res- toration of all such articles, and has just concluded an examination of the articles on deposit. They are contain- ed in two boxes and consist of silver- ware, jewelry, portraits, watches, ete. One of the boxes contained nearly five hundred watches—-gold, silver and brass—and a number of jack-knives pocket-books, letters, ete. These were mainly taken from prisioners of war who died in hospitals around Washing- ton, Point Lookout and Elmira, and were deposited in the Treasury by Gen. Ketcham. Some of them, how- ever, belonged to Union soldiers who died during the war near the places designated. The other box contained a lot of articles captured by Gen. Sher- man’s troops in Camden, 5. C., in the early part of 1865. They consist of family plate, jewelry, ete., which had been deposited in a bank at Camden by Mr. McRea and other wealthy resi- dents of that section. When the Un- ion army approached the town an effort was made to transfer the articles toa place of safety, but the troops came upon the scene while the transfer was being made. Many of the principal articles belong- ing to Mr. MeRea were restored to him by special act of Congress in 1852. An inventory has been made, and it ts thought the articles can easily be iden- tified by their owners. They will be restored upon application, accompanied by satisfactory evidence of ownership. The two boxes referred to contain all the property of the character deseribed now in the United States treasury, ex- cept, possibly, the presentation-swords belonging to General Twings and cap- tured by General Butler in New Or- leans. It is an unsettled question as yet whether these swords can be res- stored under the provisions of the act referred to. All the other articles men- tioned which have not been restored by April next will be advertised, and such as shall still remain in the treasury for one year from that time will be sold at public auction. —__-<- Poisoned by the Ailantus. The Ailantus or Tree of Heaven is a very poisonous one, but we were not aware how far it was capable of trans- mitting its deadly effect. A Mr. C. Curtis, a retired sea-captain, has called the attention of the New York board of health to this matter. He has been in poor health lately, and he lays it to poisoning by ailantus trees that abound in his neighborhood. Captain Curtis believes the trees are injurious enough to warrant the health officers in inaug- urating a regular campaign against them. . “Few people know,” said the captain “how poisonous is the pollen that falls from the tree in July and August. It is the cause of no end of sickness in the city every summer. Any number of cases of alleged malaria are simply cases of ailantus poisoning. Invalids are principally affected by the nearness of these tress.” Captain Curtis is a friend of ex-Presi- dent Arthur, and when he read in the papers how, after beneficial trips in the park, he always had relapses after re- turning home, he went to his house to see if there was an ailantus handy. There was. Ou the avenue in front of his home there were rows of them and three of them in the back yard. The captain diagnosed the case at once, and told Gen, Arthur that he was breath- ing poison. He quoted lots of cases of that kind until the ex-President was at last impressed. and promised to go away. He went to New London and began to mend at once. Capt. Curtis said that he knew of lots of cases in this city. In Brooklyn the health authorities have made war upon them long ago. Dr. Edson, of New York, is convin-} ced that there was much truth in what| the captain said and promised to see what could be done in the premises. -—- - Journalistic Training. Iditor Charles A. Dana, of the New LYork Sun, himself a profound scholar, does not believe in a collegiate educa- tion as a training for newspaper men. This is the opinion of nine out of ten of the practical journalists. Myr. Dana says that “a graduate fresh from college is pretty sure to be one of the most awkward recruits who can be brought into a newspaper office. In the first place, he is very immature. Then not one graduate ina hundred has an English education which can be called at all thorough. Until he is trained anew, not one in a hundred is capable of doing good literary service in a single department. — He has also lived so far apart from the world and its affairs that he knows next to nothing about what is going on among men and what interests and moves them.” The great trouble with college men who get into journalism is, strange as it may seem, that they do not know how to write good English. — Besides, they know no more of the live events of the time than if they had been living in Greenland-—not as much, indeed, as many an oftice boy.—-Printers Circu- lar, ee ID 0 et A Mother's Deed. New York, Angust 30,—Margaret Meagher, a widow over 40 years old, was arrested at 413 West 71st street this morning, “crazy drunk” and on the verge of delirium tremens. She had bought a grocery store at that place : few days ago and since then had been on a continuous carouse. In one of the rooms in the rear of the store the officers found the remains of her daughter Hilen, eighteen months old, who had recently died from neglect. She was very emaciated and it is thought that starvation may have had something to du with the death. The woman had money in bank even after buying the grocery. ‘Two years ago her husband, who was employed on the Hudston river railroad. hanged him- self because of the life she led him, and her two older children were taken from her. The woman herself has been in the work-house twice since her husband's death. Just when the child died is not known, but it is thought the drunken mother carried it around for some time after its death.

He is the great load- stone of the stalwarts and they rally at the first note of his clarion call. The plomes of this gallant knight waving over Puck's “cabbage leaf” delights the gaze of his wing of the grand old party. There is said to be nothing new under the sun. Frail mortality cannot know this to be absolutely true, though it is very generally accepted as such. But when we say there is nothing new in Blaine’s speech, we assert it with confidence, since his political record is spread like an open page before the world. He revives memories of the past over whicli he seems to dwell with great relish. He holds up the horrors of by-gone days, which assumes the shape of the bloody shirt, to the infi- nite satisfaction of those whose venom is still tainted with envious green. The old tariff issues of two years ago—his stock in trade when toiling for the presidency —were rehashed fur the oc- casion. He shakes his war-like plumes until they dance like a_ fisherman's cork, aud cries for Canadian blood. He grasps his imaginary sword and charges Mott is the nucleus around which ral- lys one wing. hese Jo not favor a State convention, nor the nominatin of any candidates. They want The other great wing or oO and “filibuster.” is in favor of an organized fight on the old issues, of Javing a State conven- tion and nominating a regular ticket. From present indications this latter named wing will be successful in so far as having a convention and nomi- nating candidates is concerned. Sept. 22nd is the appointed time for their convention. This much will be suc- cessfully performed, but that is all. There wil! be a Democratic triumph, as usual in North Carolina this fall. Don’t have any doubts as to that. Dr. Mott, and others of his wing have been doing much writing recently. Judge Thos. Settle, has recently come out against the Dr. and knocks the props from under him in a rather caus- tic manner, but who cares how it goes. Let them quarrel and wrangle and tangle, it does not affect the honest | Democratic vote which will be polled this fall. Goit boots! The Democratic nominees are safe in any event. To show how mixed things are get- ting, and also to point out to Demo- crats the traps that are being set to eatch the thoughtless, and the plans being inaugurated to create discension. From Judge Settle’s card to the Repub- licans of North Carolina, the follow- excerps are taken: Dr Mott secks to convey the impression that his sole purpose is to: rescue the Re- publican party from disruption; whereas the truth is, as it now transpires, that he is scheming to desiroy it, his latest ex- his letter to me of August 6th, already referred to. The proof is found in the following extract. “Twas very sorry you did not get here, “tor I desired to talk with you at length “about politics.

It is designed, to have this fall, a reunion of the survivors, With appropriate ceremonies. To this end it is desirable to know exactly how many there are, that the character of the ceremonies may be shaped accordingly. The organization of the survivors will be fruitful of good in many ways, but espec- ially in collecting and preserving un- written history, and in erecting a suitable monument to Rowan’s noble dead, both rank and file. With these and other objects in view, it is expected that the organization will have the hearty co-op- eration of the citizens of the county. ee German Carp. Messrs Editors :—The qualities of the German Carp, as a table fish, depends almost solely upon the nature of the food they eat. Every farmer knows that if a hog is taken directly from the range where it subsisted on acorns, rocts, mushrooms and the like, and butchered, the pork of such a hog is unfit to cat, no matter how fat it may be. Whereas, if the same hog had been fed on corn, meal, slops and the like, for a few weeks prior to being butchered, the pork would be of fine flavor and quality. Carp confined ina small pond, if not regularly fed, must subsist upon such natural food as the pond affords. In all ponds, there isa large accumulation of filthy green moss and scum. — [fany one owning a pond stocked with Carp, will walk around it of mornings and evenings, he will see numbers of them swimming industriously about, with their mouths just above the water, sucking the green moss and scum, for such nourishment as it may contain. The poor creatures, unless properly fed must subsist upon such filthy food, or perish, and if such fish are used for eating purposes, it wil be found, on opening them, that they are full of this green, filthy stuff and on being prepared for the table, it will be found that they have an unpleasant, muddy flavor. Whereas, if they had been fed previously, fora few weeks, on corn bread, Irish potatoes, and the like, their flesh would be sweet and palatable, and equal in flavor to atrout, or redhorse or even a shad. I have tried them both ways, and know whereof Tspeak. They are easily trained to come to their feed. Palways feed mine ata certain place. I keep a piece of plank lying near by, on which I strike a few sharp blows witha stick, and as soon as the signal is sounded they are rushing in droves to the feeding ground, where they watch eagerly, until the food is thrown in, when there is a rush and a scramble, resembling a drove of hungry pigs. There are now, several successful Carp ponds in our county, but we are satisfied that Carp culture is only in its infaney yet. for as people become more and more acquainted with their fine table quali- ties, and the great ease with which they can be raised in) abundance, the number of ponds will greatly increase. Any farmer having a good spring with a cove or basin below it, can have a carp pond at very sinall cost. WR. FRAUEN. Salisbury N.C. Sept. 6th, 1886. <a Prediction About 1880 to 1887, Ina pamphlet recently published, the author, Prof. Grimmer, “from 1880 to 1887 will be one universal carni- val of death.” Asia will be depopulated, Europe nearly so, America will loose fifteen million people. — Besides plague, we are to have storms and tidal waves, mountains are to ‘toss their heads thro’ the choicest valley,” navigators will be lost by thousands, owing to the “ea- pricious deflextures of the magnetic nee- dle,” and Islands will appear and disap- pear in mid-ocean. All the beasts, birds and fishes will be diseased, famine and civil strife will destroy most of the human beings left alive by plague: and finally, “two years of fire’—from 1885 to 1887— USsseris: Pwill rage with fury in every part of the globe.

The company is a pri- vate corporation, comprising three own- ers, one Carolinian and two Virginians. They own a small tract, butea very valuable one, as what follows will show. There are but 175 acres, which is cut in two by the railroad. Three immense beds of talc have been opened, but only one of these has been quarried to any extent. The other two are held in reserve. A large quantity has been taken from the quarry next to the railroad. They have aside track which is within a few feet of the quarry and itis aneasy job to take out gnd weigh acar load of tale. The material is the finest in the country, being pure white and absolutely free from all im- purities. It has a variety of uses, but is mostly used asan adulterant. It goes into flour, sugar, candy, soap and a large number of other things—which js all wrong—and_ is used in rolling mills for marking iron, and by the natives as a lu- bricant. They grind it up and mix it with grease and lubricate wagon and cart wheels. This tale was first hauled over 80 miles of dirt road to Cleveland, Tenn. where aready market was found for it. This was before the days of railroads. The Nantahala river also runs through this property. BEAUTIFUL MARBLE. But the tale is only half told. There is enough marble on the property to build a city. The houses could be of black, white, green, blue, flesh color, pink or variagated. The marble is in great abundance. Blocks can be gotten out fifty feet in length and 4x4 feet Without crack or seam! Think of it. There is a clitf of solid marble on this property thirty feet high. This marble is susceptible of high polish, and is very beautiful for ornamental purposes, indoor and furniture decorations and for monu- ments, being of a more genial and warm- er tint that the cold white so common a short time ago.

C., SEPTEMBER 16, 1886. At Evening Time. When fades the snnlight in the Western sky, When dimly shadows fall on sea and land, When breezes whisper of the day gone by, And home the blackbirds fly, a chattering band; Then lonely heart, faint not, but be thou strong, Thy life shall also have its evening song. Shoreward at dusk the sea-gull takes her flight, And slowly all the tiny tide-waves break ; Homeward the skiffs return again at night, And fishing dories safest harbor make. ‘Tis evening hours that bring the wander- ers home ; Take courage, heart, thine eve shall also come, At eve the laborer turns from toil and care ; And, as the noisy peals of action cease, Soft chimes the vesper-bells, for praise and prayer, And all the earth is Wrapped in rest and peace; Oh! weary soul, thy rest shall surely come, Some evening-time thy God shall lead thee home. —Maud Heredith, in Demoreat. = ><> ae To The Kerthquake.

It was discovered here Thursday, in making experiments with a compass and galvanometer, that every piece of iron connected with the ground, such as lamp posts, iron fronts of buildings and window shutters, deflected the needle of the compass to a very great degree, indicating a strong electrical current in the earth. It was further reported Thursday night that the ofti- cers of the cutter noticed the same deflection of the needle—the north pole of the compass pointing to the east.— Wil. Star. The above statement would seem to sustain Rev. E. A. Yates’ theory of earthQuakes, to wit: That they are due to electrical discharges in the earth. — —_ —_ + -@-e The Campaign Opened. HENDERSON AND LONG OPENS THE CAN- VASS WITHOUT OPPOSITION. Tuesday afternoon, during the re- cess of court, Hon. Jno. 5. Henderson, present incumbent and Democratic candidate for re-election to congress, and Mr. B. F. Long, Democratie can- didate for solicitor, addressed a court house full of people on the politieal situation. Mr. Long spoke first. He referred to the remarkable fact that here there two Democratic candidates for important offices, with no opposi- tion and no probability of any, where a few vears ago, the Republican party controlled the State. He swhowed how the State had been redeemed by the Democratic party, from Republican nusrule, and how it had prospered under Democratic administration. Re ferring to the quirrel at present exist- ing among the kt»publican leaders, he showed how the party is practically disorganized and disbanded. His speeeh was well receieved, and was listened to with good attention from first to last. Mr. Henderson said that he was not present to arraigu 9 the Republiean party, (as we are now living under a Democratic administration,) but to defend President Cleveland’s adminis- tration if it needs any defence. He siid that Congress has been charged with doing nothing: but in fact it had accomplished as much good legislation as its predecessor or the congress before it. It had restored to the public domain several million acres of lands granted ‘to railroads; but forfeited to the Gov- ernment. [t had provided for the more general cirenlation of silver by requir- ing the secretary of the treasury to issue, one, two and five dollar silver certificates. The Democratic House had passed several important measures which were defeated in the Senate. The appropriations were larger than for last year on aceount of the increase in the number of pensions, and by reason of deficiences in previous appropriations. Republiean opposition, he said preyent- ed reforms in the internal -revenue laws. There are some measures of importance which he hopes will pass at the next session; including his bill to ameliorate some of the hardships of the system. He said that the House was entitled to credit for preventing the assage of several Republican big jobs. e was cut short in the midst of his remarks by the ringing of the bell for court.—Davidson Dispatch. Continued Trembling. People in Wilmington who have not been in a situation to feel the slightest shocks do not know how long and continuous they have been. The first one was felt on Friday 27th of August. The 28th at about a quarter to 5 A. M. there was quite a sharp shake up. Since the great shocks of last Tuesday there have been a great many shakes. In fact they amount to forty or fifty. On Saturday night there were five well defined, unmistakxble shocks. On Saturday night there was one violent enough to awaken people in sound sleep. There is one feature of the earth's shakes and tremors that deserves to be specially mentioned. For a full hour for several nights there has been a constant tremble of the earth. Satur- day night this lasted for probably an hour or longer. On Saturday night two neighbors of the writer were standing at Orrell’s livery stable when the shock occurred. Some time after one put his hand on the stable and discovered that it was tremulous. He called his friend's attention to it and putting his hand on it he found it was so. In several dwellings in that part of the towa the long continued vibra- tion have been noticed for several nights. The tremor is unmistakable. The ocean breakers were very loud Suuday night after the shock. We never heard them so distinctly but once before.— Wl. Star. ———--— aan ar Flee to the Mountains. Jonquin Miller in the Chicage Times. Get out of the cities and stay out of the cities. The cities of the United States are too big entirely. I mean to say that our population m the cities is fearfully disproportioned to our popu- lation im the country. But I have neither space nor dispo- sition to debate or cry out against titis cowardly disposition to hide away in the commercial pork-packing cities of America. But 1 will say this of New York, a city I know fairly well from some years of residence there: I never saw such an ignorant people on earth as the people ot New York. Yes, they read. But what do they read? The papers. And the papers they read are the New York papers. They simply read of themselves—their own sins, their own follies, their own weary and tireless round and repetitions of crimes, set and served as a breakfast dish by the brilliant men of the pens. Get out of that place and stay out of it. Get out of all such places. And decide first this: That no man has any night tostay in acity unless he is bound by his duties to stay there, Thg mean and_ selfish desire to stay in acity for pleasure is about as low a desire as [can think of. Indeed the seltish pursuit of pleasure anywhere, or of any kind, merely for pleasure’s s*ke, 1s unworthy of any min. The pursuit of pleasure is a woman's pur- suit; and a very weak order of wo- men at that. . GET INTO THE COUNTRY, into the lifted hills if you can. It is only a little distance to the glorious green and vine-clad hills of the Caroli- nas. Sendsome of your number down there to see those fruitful and health- ful hills, and my word for it you will not willingly spend all your life inside the line of folly which makes up life in a great city. Get out of those places with your children. No English gen- tlemen who can afford it will leave his children to the follies and the sins of a city. No wise man will, of whatever land. And so it is with a warin heart. I should like to respond to this ery which appeals to me from the cities for homes and information about homes in the west. Frankly, then, 1 would say go first down into the pleasant mountains of the Carol nas first, because that is close by. Get a bit of land there if vou like it. Get it now. It will never be cheaper than it is now. Next year it may be double its present price. At least, in- quire there rather than of me. Do you know that negrly all our grapes in the eastern states, as well as else- where, came from the Carolinas long ago? Do you know that the medicinal herbs of the Carolinas took the world’s prize in Paris? Do you know that these silent and voiceless states have given the world the only new gem that has been named since Christ was born? Go down and look at these states. They are close by. and no wild beast or wild man will dispute your path. Go to Cherokee county. You will find gold there. You will find lenty of Cherokee Indians there still. hive seen at one time at least twenty free-born daughters of these brave pevnle standing in the water to the nées washing for gold. Godown there and see these lands first. csaaaaia >a The Great Historical Earthquakes.

The Krakatoa cataclysm in Java, in August, which was the most stupendous on record. An island was shattered and sunk and sixteen others raised their head above the surrounding waters. Nearly 100,- 000 people were buried beneath vol- canic nebes or sWept off the face of the land by the volcanic wave. The floor of the ocean over a wide area to the southeast of Sumatra was raised into a plain above the waters, and the effects of the general upheaval were felt as far as the American coast on the Pacifie. 1$84-85. A long-continued series of shocks in the Spanish peninsula, which began on December 26, 1884, and continued with irregular. inter- ruptions until the middle of April, 1885. The greatest destruction of life and property was in Andalusia. Alto- gether 745 persons were killed and 1,485 injured, 17,000 buildings were more or less damaged, 4,400 of the number being completely wrecked. Widespread destitution and suffering resulted from this visitation. Towards the close of November there was a re- newal of the disturbances, which ex- tended also to the adjacent African coast, 1885. A series of shocks began in the Vale of Cashmere on May 13, and continued at irregular intervals until the middle of August. The city of Serinagur and numerous villages were almost completely destroyed, thousands of lives were lost, and great destruc- tion resulted from the killing of cattle and destruction of crops. 1886, August 28.

Wednesday night, September 1st, was the time appointed for the upris- ing among the Richmond county ne- groes, it was generally believed, and a great many of the white people were really looking for the uprising. |The negroes, on the other hand, had heard that a white army, five thousand strong, were camping in Wadesboro, realy toswoop down upon them at any hour and exterminate the last one of them. When the earthquake shock was felt Tuesday night, the whites thought it was the negroes after them, and the negroes thought the rumbling was the tramp of the white army's deadly footsteps. In less than twenty min- utes, fully one hundred white people, of all ages, classes and conditions, had assembled at the residence of Col. John P. Little. near Mangum. The negroes, in terror, fled in every direc- tion, clinging piteously to their white friends, and praying to be saved from the terrible white army. One darkey, on the premises of Mr. J. D. Pember- ton, who prides himself on his bravery, when he heard the noise, grabbed his gun and, going to. the door, fired out into the dark. Louder and louder grew the noise, more and more furious grew the shaking. Dropping his gun the darkey fled from the house erying “O, Lord! Oh, Lord! Please don’t shoot: ll give up; Vl give up! Oh, Lordy, I’se so skeared.” The whites soon discovered their error, but the negroes were confronted with a great terror, when they found no army was after them. They imag- inged that the Lord had sent a special judgment upon them and let the devil loose right in their midst. They began to pray, and now you can hardly tind adarkey in all that country who has uot got religion.— Wadesboro Intelli- gencer. ——_- ~~.

A CURIOUS LIFE-SAVING MACHINE—<A SEA WAGON TWENTY-SEVEN FEET HIGH TO BE USED FOR AIDING STRANDED VESSELS. The “Sea Wagon,” as the inventor has named it, is composed entirely of iron and steel, except the small triang- ular platform at the top, on which those who work it will stand. The wheels, which are eight feet and a half in diameter, are of steel, and are placed at the points of a triangle, each side of which ts twenty-four feet. This tri- angle narrows to six feet at the top. The frame is a skeleton, the iron being so arranged as to"present as little resist- ence to the wind and waves as possible. The inventor expects the roughest seas to bread through it. without doing the least damage to the machine. THE MACHINE DESCRIBED. The motive power is by the working of two levers at ithe top platform, ' These levers each have two steel rods which lead down to the front wheels | of the trycicle, the tires of which are! notched. <A shoe on the end of each | steel rod catches in these notches and | propels the machine by the moving up | and down of the levers. The rods are | so placed 01 the lever that while one is. going down for a fresh grip the other: is pulling upward. By this means the | motion is continuous and the rate at! B which two men are expected to be able to move it through the water is three miles an hour, as fast as the average gait of walking. Third or hind wheel acts hke a castor and swinging on a pivot follows the leading wheels of the trycicle, which is steered by the levers. Very few vessels are wrecked in twenty or more feet of water, and if the “sea wagon” operates, as its maker expects it to, it may be run out to any stranded vessel. A ladder arranged so as to be extended from the top is ‘laced on one side of the vehicle, and y this not only will the crew of the machine mount to the railed platform, but crews of wrecked vessels may do the same and be wheeled to dry land Six men could thus be carried at a time. The Charlotte Obserrer in its zeal | for news, overdid the business *n its | report of the cave-in in Swannan a tunnel. The Observer has covered a grain of truth with a great deal of chaff, and done it ina style to destroy the character of the item for news, but to give it much that is calculated to alarm the traveling public, thus doing the ublic, the road, and this section harm. We ure very sure this was not the purpose of the Observer, but it is the effect of such statements, if not alto- gether true. There was a delay by a slide, but not so serious as the Observer reports, and all, we are informed, is right and safe now.— Aherille Citizen. -_- Prince Alexander of Bulgaria was! given his choice of death or abdication.

It js a.common remark on the streets that in addition to the profanity indulg- ed in, a pistol was exhibited, and that it was actually discharged, by accident or otherwise. The affair is a very serious one and involves grave questions for evey parent represented there. That such a scene could have occurred at a social gathering of the young people of the town is amazing. It was disgraceful in the extreme and cannot be simply apolo- gized for.

T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR. Buck Creek Corundufi. The Buck Creek Corundum mine is in Clay county, 18 miles from Hayesville, the county town, and 43 miles from Webster, the nearest railroad town. There are several hundred acres in the tract. The corundum is of a light color —grayish white—with oceasional splotch- es of other colors. They do not mine from shafts, but have excavated the side of a hill which rises sheer from the creek. The corumdum is shoveled into troughs and the water of the creck turned on it. After this washing it is sorted and stored for hauling. It is hauled to the railroad at a cost of 75 cents per hundred pounds. Large quantities have been taken from this hill and sent north where it has been used in many useful arts. Mr. Hutchins the owner is not at the mine now, and no work is being done in his absence. OPERATIONS ON THE OCONALUFTEE, A company has been formed for the purpose of dredging four riversin the extreme western part of this State. They are the Oconaluftee, Tuckaseegee, Nan- tahala and Tennessee. The three first are aflucnts to the latter and all are sup- posed to have a golden wealth in their bed sands. They have been entered by the company as vacant and they have applied tothe State authorities for the the proper grants. Their present opera- tions are on the Oconaluftee river where they have built a large dredge boat, 70x35 feet, which is to be supplied with new modern dredging machinery. It is understood that it is a test trial for some new machinery. Their plan is to dredge this and the other rivers named, should it prove profitable to do so, They have had a number of experts to examine the beds of these streams, all of whom rc- ported favorably on the scheme—which is rather suspicious circumstance, thouth it does not seem to have beensoto the members of the company. The boat is about completed now. As soon as it has received the machinery, it is intend- ed to begin work in the Oconoluftce. [These rivers all have Indian names. ] There rivers are swift and are filled with boulders and shoals, and do not, as a rule, offer any advantages for dredging. Col. McCoy has resumed work at the Coggins mine, near El Dorado, in Mont- gomery county, The Russell mine, in same county, has yielded more favorable returns for sev- eral weeks than for some time before. Twenty stamps have been added to the Steele mine in Montgomery county. Mrs. M. A. Smith, of Nalls, Montgom- ery county has found gold on her place, which old miners predict to be a valua- ble gold producing property, The gold found was surface material and was in the shape of coarse gold and small nug- gets. An unusual quantity of branch gold will be on the market this fall in Mont- gomery county. The petty mining of that county amounts to thousands every year. In many cases it pays for all the domestic supplies of a family. 2 The Shuford gold mine, in Catawba county is not for sale as has been report- ed, Superintendent Ilyser will go to New York soon to consult with the owner, W. A. Swect, Esq., who lives at Syracuse. The recent finds of fine emeralds in Alexander county has had_ the effect of making the people look for such things. There are many localities in the vicinity of the Emerald & Hiddenite mining pro- perty where gem stones have been found. 1 Tho finer colored bery]s taking the lead. Some very fine and highly colored frag- ments of monozite have recently been found at Walkers Mill. The Carolina Queen mine, in Burke tarianism, created a sensation at yesterday af- ternoon’s session of the Onset Bay Spiritualist Lyceum by denouncing by implication Mme. sented this, and one woman, Mrs. A. Penuel of Maine, rose and replied bitterly to his strictures.

Dr. Lighthill the president of the company is personally su- perintending operations at present, They have some sixteen or more veins of auri- ferous quartz exposed and these are being tested by actual work. 3} At Gold Hill, in Rowan county, they have added air compressors, steam drills and new hoist. They have cut a rich yein in the ‘Texas shoot,” which shows free gold. They are sinking the main or Randolph shaft, which is at present 789 feet deep, and at. this depth they have come into a five foot vein of svlid ore. They have also cut a new and rich vein h hes and clocks and different articles of jewelry. At Mr. E. Rosenthal’s store, in Meeting strect, the regulator was stopped at nine anda half minutes to 10 o'clock. Of the other pendulum clocks in the store, only those were stopped which were facing north or south, The motion of the vibra- tions, coming from a direction contrary to that of theswinging pendulums, immedi- ately stopped the clocks, while tn the case ot those that were facing east and west the motion of the pendulums was only accelerated, A number of watches were also stopped by the earthquake, This was due to the injury to the jewels in the works, mM tn) of whic. were a tually shaken from their setting by the shock. The same effect was also noticed with regard to rings on ware round that the jar caused many of these to pop out from their settings. A gentleman, who was on the excursion train, which was coming down from Columbia when the earthquake struck it, had his hand on his knee when the shock came, and yet the large seal in the ring on his finger was sha- ken out. A number of such cases have been reported, and some of the jewelers have almost as big a bonanza in repairing such damages as the contractors and brick layers-in repairing the broken walls and temples of the ruined city.— Charleston News and Courier.

Then there are those who believe that registering is no guarantee. They quote the backwoods maxim that ‘the Government@ill trace up a lost registered package and tell you where it is lost, and vou can get it yourself—if you can.’ That is a mis- take. The understanding now is that the man who can be proved to have handled the package last before it was lost nust make it good. If he doesn't he may hand in his resignation and let his bondsmen get out of it the best way they can. Only last week a package was lost here. There were but two men in the department when it arrived, and the agent had his receipt from them. The people who sent that pack- agemade athidavit that it contained So), and the two men made it good rathe rthan lose their places and be dis- graced.

The people of New York are on the right Way to puta severe check upon the vile Importation of ignorant and deluded peo- ple from Europe by the recruiting agents of Mormon polyzamy. The “saints” are constantly in want of more young wives and so the missionaries are kept busy in the mountain sections of three or four Southern States and in Europe. Fresh vic- tims are being constantly induced into the saraglios of the lustful Turks of Utah. and this is allowed without protest or serious obstruction, But. the immigration com- and poor in this world’s goods.

John Fletcher, of Virginia Vity, was awakened the other night by his mare, which had been running in a_ pasture with her colt. She came to the win- dow, and pawed and neighed. Fletcher tned to drive her away. but she would- nt go. At length he noticed that the colt was not with her, and he followed the mare. She ran on ahead of him, continually turning to see if he was coming, and thus led him to an old prospect hole into which the colt had fallen. With the he!p of ne’ghbors tle colt was rescued, and the mother. hitherto very shy, was almost frantic with delight. She followed Fletcher about, rubving her nose against his shoulder; and gave uninistakable signs of gratitude. / => <> a ~ Not At All Himself. Senator McDougall, of California.

Senator Ransom and Judge Fowle. From Charlotte Home-Democrat. The Shelby Aurora has a corres- Raleigh who sends that aper some interesting political items. low much truth there is in the follow- ly hold Senator Ransom responsible for his several defeats. Ransom was not to blame. But here is what the | correspondent says : “Judge Fowle does not disguise the Senator Ransom because Ransom aided in defeating Fowle in 1880 for the nomination for Governor in opposition to Goy. Jarvis. . At one time ex-Judges | Fowle and Merrimon represented the | disgruntled element of the Demoeratic | |party, and Merrimon was appointed elas Associate Justice by (sov,—darvis in order to harm@nize this element, and Mermmon was known us Fowle’s ap-| poinment. Fowle is also satisfied that Gen. Ransom could have made him | Solicitci General if he had been heartily | for him. The contest for the Senator- ship in 1888 has already begun. Fowle is determined that no effort of his shall be lacking to defeat Ransom, | and he is laying his plans to that ' effect. It was thought by Fowle that Merrimon ought to be defeatefl for Chief Justice because his election was to have strengthened Ransom through the friends of the old Court. So Judge Fowle’s influence was thrown for the old Court. [tis now said by Fowle and friends that Judge Merrimon did himself great harm by permitting his name to be used for Chief Justice, and that his defeat practically puts him | Sentonal racé two years hence, and leaves one less antagonist jin the tield.” . | Certainly Ransom was not to blame, He has his faults, but with them all, he is worth too much to North Carlina at- Washington to swap him for Mr. The WatcnMan favors the present representation in the U. 5. Fowle. Senate, and beheves that any change _ LL + A a The Truth About Ranson. It has been alleged that when Sena- tor Ransom was urged recently to go to the Postoftiice Department and in- sist upon the removal of Muss Dusen- berry, the Republican postmistress at Concord, he declined, saying that it’ would do no good—that she would not be removed. It was urged that his voing would at least satisfy Concord, and for that reason he ought to go. To this, he is alleged to have responded that this would be pandering to the people and this he would not do. Much is sought to be made out of this and some of his friends are unneces- sanly—if they will pardon us—apolo- giaing for him and denying that he said it. If Senator Ransom did not say it he ought to have done so. If he does pander to the people he ought not to. To “pander is “to minister to the evil designs or passions of others.” Demagognes “pander” to the people and Senator Ransom is not a dema- gogue, though some persons ignorantly | suppose him to be. Ife is candid and straightforward in politics; he has more influence than any man in the Segate; he reflects infinite credit upon North Carolina in that body. No Senator ever served his people more faithfully. If he had been a demagogue and a panderer he would have gone to the Postoftive Department upon the representations made to him, though he knew his visit would be ineffective. He and his friends ought to be proud of him that under the circumstances he would not go, and that he gave his reason frankly for not going.—Land- murk, On to Victory (?) Democrats!

When such a state of affairs has been brought about, we can reasonably say with confidence, “On to victory, Demo- erats.”-—Fayetteville Observer. —> >a To the Public. CHARLESTON, September 17.—Mayor Courtenay today issued the following proclamation : City oF CHARLESTON Executive DEPARTMENT, September 17, L886. To the Public : The city council of Charleston, at its regular meeting on the J4th inst., took the following action : *“Wuerers, A terrible calamity has befallen Charleston, vast and wide- spread in the loss it inflicts, far greater in extent than was at first realized, ‘and “Whereas, It is evident that the and spontaneous — assistance which has come to us from all parts of this country and from Kngland, and which is deeply appreciated and grate- fully acknowledged by cur people, will be wholly insufhicient to meet our un- expected exigencies; be it “Resolved, That the mayor be re- quested to prepare and issue an address tu the public setting forth our condi- tion and invoking additional aid for this stricken city.” In making known to the general public this declaration of the municipal government as to the condition of our city at this time, it seems to me un- necessary that 1 should add any words of my own. The unfortunate facts are before the country by the statements of disinterested visitors from different parts of the land by personal observa- tion, and are known here and deeply felt. I ask the press of the United States to give this proclamation the benefit of its far reaching circulation. [Signed ] Wa. A. CouRTEN AY. ee ge All at Work. CHARLESTON, Sept. 15.—There is no varticular change in the situation today, but the work of rough reparation is go- ing on over every part of the city. It is impossible to restore the buildings to their former condition, but they are putting on a better appearance, and the very hum of labor tends to lighten the situation. There is a scarcity of brick- layers and plasterers, but numerous ap- plications for work come in daily. The relief committee today considered the condition of Summerville and villages along the line of the South Carolina railway, and of the town of Mt. Pleas- ant, opposite Charleston, on Cooper ‘yiver, and resolyed unanimously that the losses in these places should be pro- vided for in the ratio of their amount, on the same basis as the losses in Charleston. The feeling of the com- mittee is that while most of the funds were sent in the name of Charleston, the intention of the donors was to furnish relief to the whole earthquake district in this vicinity. A committee on im- mediate relief has been organized, and is issuing small sums of money to per- sons in great distress for want of cloth- ing, ete. Most of the tents and shel- ters provided for refuge, in the city have been removed, and it 3 the intention to have all cleared away by the end of he month. In this the government en- gineers have greatly assisted by their reports on the condition of dwellings. Gifts for Charleston. The two greatest actors of the Eng- lish speaking race—Irving, the Englisl- ; man, and Booth, the American, have acted generously in their contributions to the suffering thousands of Charles- ton. The English actor, “with brother- hood and deep sympathy,” sends his $500 to the “sufferers.” This is worthy of our kin beyond the seas. The Amer- ican, with “vivid” memory of “inany dear friends in Charleston,” sends his check for $1,000 and only regrets he cannot “help all of ‘em, Then this is generous and shows that the “whole world is kin.” Then there are the munificent benefactions of rich men in the North— Corcoran and Childs, $5, 8 e FMS oid 68 000 each, Drexel $2,500, W. K. Van- derbilt $1,000, and Cornelins Vander- bilt 1,000—that shows that in a great and sudden calamity there are no sec- tional antagonisms and in our common country no South, no North, no Kast, no West. Such reaching of the hands to the distressed and such bestowments of help to those who are destitute plead trumpet tongued for the nobility of the race. The South's grateful thanks and sincere benedictions go up in behalf of the givers. Thus far among the cities Boston, Hartford, New Haven, New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Saratoga, De- troit and Newburg have raised or are raising funds for Charleston. The philanthropic Governor of Michigan, Governor Alger, has actually issued a proclamation calling upon the people of his State to contribute all they can for the relief of Charleston. This és so remarkable that it deserves special me.- tion, and Governor Alger should be remembered by all of the people of the South. Tn larger cities mercantile and other firms have given $100, $250, and $500, The largest bestowment in the South, as far as we have seen mentioned, was by Mr. William Latimer, of this town.— Wilinington Star. came AS ss A Dangerous Experiment. Chicago, Sept. 15.—Next Saturday morning an extraordinarily large ex- cursion party will leave this city for Boston over the Chicago and Grand Trunk railway. The contract with that company calls for sixty Pullman and forty Wagner sleeping coaches, tifty regular passenger coaches and twenty baggage cars. The first sec- tion of this remarkable train will leave Chicago on Saturday at 9 a.m., and the remaining sections of train will leave every twenty minutes. thereafter until the entire party is on the move. The Grand Trunk Company will clear the tracks of all other traffic as far as possible, and fast time will be made to Niagara, where the first stop will be made for breakfast the follow- ing morning. This great excursion is going to the Odd Fellows’ celebration at Boston next week when the Sover- eign Grand Lodge of the world will hold) its meeting. The Odd Fellows are vainly trying to get lower rates for everybody on all the lines. Tuey en- tered into the contract with the Grand Trunk for $13 for the round trip. Since that date other competing roads have made concession. After the rates were arranged 75,000 circulars were sent out over the coun- try, asking the various orders to ren- dezvous at Chicago and from here make a grand start for Boston. Responses already received indicate that from $8,000 to 10,000 of the fra- ternity will assemble and pass through Chiesgo. The celebration at Boston is expected to eclipse anything ever at- tempted by the Odd Fellows before. The Patnmarchs Militant (a military branch of the order) will ‘for the firsg time participate in the annual festivi- ties and it is estimated that 10,000 chevaliers and 60,000 subordinates will make up the parade, = 5 > > a A Bullet Post. The Museum of the Berlin General Post Office received a few days since an interesting addition to its treasures. This is a parchment letter found in the the city archives of Cologne, and which had been inelosed in a hollow bullet and fired out from the beleaguered town of Neuss in 1475, to let the friendly forces of Cologne know of the terrible plight to which the citizens were reduced. Charles the Bold of Burgundy was carrying on war against the town of Cologne and other Rhen- ish confederated cities, and had hem- med in Nenss so closely that the in- habitants were brought to the last ex- tremity. An army of observation of the con- federates, posted beyond the Rhine, watched Charles’ operations, hoping to get an opportumty of reheving the town. The letter is from the comman- der, the Landgrave Hermann of Hesse, who describes how the beseiged are destitute of food and ammunition, and have only stones for weapons and water to live upon. They have no medicines or surgical apphances, and so the sick and) wounded die without assistance. Some are for a surrender, and he fears that traitors may betray the place. They hada few days be- fore 100 men in repulsing an assault of the Burgundians. The letter men- tions that the beseiged had previously fired off several other letters, some of which had fallen into the Rhine; and they were expending their last powder in firing off this one. ee Chicago, Sept.

While the main part of the discourse was an application of the suljebt, the following views as to the cause were given, “The revival of science that followed the overthrow of Ptolemaic astronomy gave rise to many speculations and new hypoth- escs, The most active minds swept the field not only of investigation, but of imagina- tion and even fancy. Laplace and Des- cartes were prominent in formulating systems and theories which have come down tous. That which has held the inost prominent place in the public mind was the Laplacean theory, known as the nebular hypothesis. ‘The theory of earth- quakes was immediately based upon this. That is to say, because the earth was once in an incandesant, or red hot, melted state, therefore there must be only a thin crust formed, upon Which we dwell, while all the interior is an ocean of melted matter. In round numbers, the radius of the earth being about 24,000 miles and the thickness of the crust having been estimated all the way from 26 to 400 miles, this would leave an ocean of melted matter on the interior at least 7,000 miles in diameter. The theory is that the shrinking of the crust and the movement of this ocean of melted matter produces. the fracture and waving of the crust. It is more than probable that this theory is false. Without doubt the globe was once in a red hot, melted condition. | ‘Vhe fallacy lies in supposing that it cooled only upon its crust. The most eminent scientists have exploded this fallacy. The well known law of the convection of heat would prevent any other permanent cooling than that of the whole mass and from the centre; and when reaching a certain point in the cooling process, sol- idifving would begin at the centre. It is not true that heat increases in a certain ratio as we descend. ‘This for years was thought to be true, but modern research has shown its falsity. Sir Win. Thomson, Prof. Hopkins, Arch-deacon Pratt, and others have in many ways shown that the earth is solid, Prof. G. H. Darwin says: ‘On the whole, we may fairly conclude that the effective rigidity of the earth is as great as that of stecl.” And Prof. Winchell says: “It appears probable, admitting the general solidity of the carth, that the internal tempera- ture does not continue to increase down- ward in uniform ratio with the depth, but the rate of increase diminishes.” That there is melted matter beneath the earth’s surface no one can doubt, for voleanoes pour it out in rivers upon the surface. But this melted matter is local, and its production easy to be understood. No matter how hot the internal depths may be, the weight of superincumbent earth will press it into solidity. The philosophy of melting any given sub- stance is that the heat penetrates between the particles and pushing them apart these particles flow, or, as we say, the mass is melted by the heat. But great Weight upon this matter, where it cannot escape laterally, overcomes the separating power of the heat, and forces the particles back into solidity. It is very easy to see, however, that at some point beneath the surface of the earth this weight of pres- sure and the fusion point of temperature would be coincidental, and we should have a zone of melted matter all the way around the globe at a certain distance beneath the surface. And this is just what would take place if the whole earth had not cooled beyond the point of such possible fusion. It remains then to account for the existence of melted matter beneath the surface at. different localities, and com- paratively in small quantities. The slow process of cooling contracts the globe. | Prof. Mallet says, “that the crushing effeets of enormous lateral pres- sure resulting from the secular contrac- tion of the earth in its slow process of cooling is gmply sufficient to produce local fusion.” This may operate to some extent, but I ain of the opinion that there more truth in the suggestion of Prof. Winchell, who says that “the tidal deformations” of the more yielding portions of the carth is the “source of the internal heat which manifests itself in fluidity.’ However the small quantities of melted matter here and there within the earth may be produced, the old notion of a universal internal ocean of fire may be regarded as exploded and obsolete. We find then no cause of earthquakes in this theory, and violent volcanic eruptions are not earthquakes proper, and only produce a very limited effect, justas any explosion at or near the earth's surface will produce more or less tremor in the adjacent parts. My opinion is that earthquakes are produced by electrical disturbances in the earth, which are similar to those disturbances that take place above the earth. And as the thunder storm comes on to its culminating shock and _ passes and dies away, and we hear and see from the distance the last and fiual flashes and mutterings, so the electrie storm within the carth breaks into the awful shock and catastrophe, and then passes and dies away, and we feel for a greater or less time the tremor and decreasing moye- ments until the rest of equilibrium is reached. There are many reasons for believing that earthquakes are caused by electrical disturbances. 1. We have seen that the old theory necessarily — fails. Karthquakes may produce volcanic overflow because it 1s probable they may start into action the causes that produce volcanoes ; but vol- canic action itsclfis too limited to produce the phenomenon of earthquake. is During the recent disturbances the electric display was immense. Railroad bars, hinges and other iron material was magnetized, needles deflected, the whir- ring sand in theatmosphere, electric balls seen in many places, and the sensible shock felt by nearly every person, whose feet were upon the ground, The subsistence of land in any given instance may be due to the fact that the electric storm shatters and melts much of the rocks and conglomerate matters within the earth, and this forced through elevations and fissures, particulaly on ocean shores and sea bottoms, gives room for corresponding depression. The heavy weight of mountain ranges, according to Prof. Winechell’s idea of pressure pro- ducins fusion, may account for voleanic eruptions through the tilted rocks form- ing the sides of their chimneys. But it may be inquired, if electric storms within the earth produce earth- quakes, what causes the electric disturb- In answering this question we ances ? should remember that the attraction of the moon lifts the oceans into tides. However soled the carth may be, it also Old Mr. Bently (reaci ‘g the} 3«r)- I see that a Coloret nina nigel Scott has just died in Raltimetewt (he age of one hundred and. difty. three.

Thig, too, accounts for the tolerably | regular oscilation every 24 hours; that is: when the revolution of the earth upon its | axis brings the area of disturbance be- neath the moon. As the first recent shock was about 10 p. m., so we may look for some little tremors from 9 to 12 p. m., and it may be at next new moon, when the sun and moon are both pulling on the same line. An electric storm within the earth is to be dreaded more than such storms above the earth, inasmuch as the disturbance at the surface of the earth causes greater destruction of life by falling buildings : . \ than the disturbance of the atmosphere | But if we were to see a thunder | above. storm for the first time, it would terrify us as much as an earthquake. When we get accustomed to earthquakes—oscilla- tions—({there is no wave)—they will in- spire no more dread than the cyclone, and not as much. And we need have no fear of a storm that has passed, however long we may hear its muttcrings. —__—__——an> 0 <> ope A Curious Kansas Law In Regari ‘o Murderers. From the Cincinatti Enquirer. The most curious Jaw in the United States dealing with pumshment of murderers exists in Kansas. The Leg- islature in 15720 passed a bill which provided that any person convicted of murder in the first degree should sent to the penitentiary, there to remain until thg governor of the State signed a warrant for and fixed the date of his execution. © This was a fearful responsibility to place upon the execu- tive, who would hesitate before being directly responsible for the death of any man, no matter how hineous his crime. ‘The respousibility was shifted from the jury or court, to whuich it properly belonged. ‘That law is stillin force, and the result has been that the Kansas penitentiary is crowded with murderers, as no governor would order their execution. — Forty-one convicted murderers, four of whom are women, could he hung any day by order of the governor. Some of their crimes are unparalelled in the annals of eald- blooded assassination.

Our Rail Road Schemes. Col. Risley of the Smithville and Bristol railroad is here. The surveyors of the line are within the county, near Gold Hill, and are coming in this di- rection. He says that the road will be built, regardless of the Yadkin road, | but he does not promise that it shall come to Salisbury, unless the people do their part. Now to be reasonable, it would seem that since the Yadkin is under contract to be built, and since itis nothing more or less thin a perfect link in the proposed line from Smithville to Bristol, these two schemes should be consolida- ted. Col. Hisley says work is to begin at Smithville and come this way. The con- tractors of the Yadkin will begin at Salisbury and work toward Wadesboro or Rockingham. They may meet at one of these points. It would certain- ly be art unnecessary aud perfectly use- less thing to builda parallel line to touch at Salisbury or Lexington. No practical business man with his eyes open would be guilty of such a thing. It would naturally result in a lease or consolidation. But to hear these railroad people talk one is absolutely bewildered. It is entirely beyond the range of the com- mon run of humanity to know just what to believe. One thing is certain, they are all reticent on one very im- portant point and that is where the money is to come from to do the build- ing. That is a profound secret, and one that has not been given to any one in Salisbury. This one thing lacking has kept our people from getting ex- cited over the matter. Another thing is certainund that is that the people of Salisbury and of Rowan are ready and willing to do their part by any individ- pal or set of individuals who will demonstrate their ability to carry out faithfully the contract they may make. Until there is a showing of this kind, either in a bank account or in actual work, our people will hardly be induced to vote a subscription. But we repeat, the people of the town and county are ripe for a road; they feel the necessity and know the value of proper railroad facilities, and when assured of the financial ability to carry out an agree- ment, will not be slow in voting a reasonable town and county subscrip- tion to the cunse. This may be depend- ed on. —_——_——s Jarvis and Ransom. The Charlotte Obserrer of last Sun- day published the following telegram: “Washington, D. C., Sept. 18.—It is reported hereon the authority of a frend of Minister Jarvis, that he in- tended ty resign about the middle of his term, or some time during the next year, and return to North Caro- lina. It is well understood here that Gov- ernor Jarvis will be a candidate for the Senatorship in 1889, against Sena- tor Ransom.” We trust this isa mistake, Both are valuable men. Jarvis made the best Governor that the State has had since the war. He lighted upon anew industrial and progressive era and made for himself a name. He desery- es well of the Democratic party, but when it comes te removing Ransom that is quite anothey thing. The State| . of North Carolina cannot afford to re- move aman of Lansom’s influence. This does not mean that there are none other so good or so capable, but it means that it will take the best man in the State years to reach the point of influence now exerted by vur Seniur Senator. Jarvis will be welcomed back | by a gryteful people when he desires to veturn to the State, andthe writer would rather cast his vote for him for Governor than for most any other of of the public men in the State, Our Senatorial team is a good one and does not need to be “improved” just yet, Richmond (Pearson) in the Field. Richmond Pearson, the would-be duelist, has been nominated by a “mass 'meeting” and also bya genuine Re- | publican convention, a8 a candidate for the next Legislature. That isa | pretty pass.) The grand jury by some jhook or crook failed te find a bill against Pearson for sending a chal- lenge to Gen. Johnston Jones to fight aduel. That offence debars Mr. Pear- son or any other citizen from holding office. Yet he brazenly steps forward, after escaping the grand jury, and ac- cepts a nomination, thus defying the spirit of the law. In case Buncombe is humiliated by his election, we would be glad if Mr. Pearson would devote his talent, since it runs that way, to the task of remov- ing the law against dueling from among the statutes of North Carolina. Let it not remain to be a “dead letter.” There is none more worthy to under- take this revisal of the code—not duello—than he who has so grossly violated it. eee Marriage of James Blaine, Jr. Jingo Blaine, the lesser, being the twenty year old son of Jingo, the only great and original, has set gossips a going and made society throw up both hands in surprise, by clandestinely mar- rying a pretty girl, named Miss Nevins, of Columbus, Ohio. The original Jingo, was much enraged and raked the lesser Jingo with much fury. He questioned him very closely as to who |the bride was, and did it so roughly that the dander of the lesser Jingo rose and he told the only great and original Jingo that his bride belonged to asocial grade above that of the Blaines. While this may not have been saying much forthe bride, it re- lieved the original to such an extent, that he relented and will supply the cash for the young folks. The lesser Jingo has not finished his course at college. Clay-Eaters. A“ North Carolina dector” is credited by the Atlanta Constitution with the declaration that he has seen “sand- hillers” in certain parts of North and South Carolina, some within ten miles of Columbia, who ate clay while eating their dinners, and that he, the afore- said “North Carolina doctor, had par- taken of some of the stuff himself.” He is quoted as saying “the stuff is tasteless, not unlike kaolin, of which plates and saucers are made,” and that it is believed by some “to promote lon- gevity,” though the people addicted to the habit, while experiencing exemp- tion from many of the ills others suffer, are the sickliest looking, most cadaverous and woe-begone beings in world. We refer to this subject only for the purpose of calliig attention to the very questionable form in which it is offered to the public. “A North Caro- lina doctor” may be somebody or no- body. It is believed that there is not a man or Woman in North Carolina fool enough to accept such testimony and set him or herself to eating clay with the expectation of prolonging life. If there is, hold up your hand, so peo- ple may know you. —<-e-e Linney Comes Down. Col. R. Z. Linney, who has been figuring as an independent candidate for Congress, against Col. Cowles in the 8th district, has withdrawn from the canvass, Col. Linney should never have allowed himself to be placed in this false position to the Democratic party. He withdrew at Downesville, in Caldwell county, on last Saturday. Capt. Wm. M. Wiley, has tempora- the pen. He is in Baltimore and en- gaged as a writer on one of the lead- ing papers in that city. He also does special writing for leading New York papers. He is popularly known in journalistic circles as the “Tramp writer” on account of his Bohemian bizarreries in the treatment of most subjects, Neal Dow’s preacher son-in-law, W, E.

To many of us Presbytery was a new experience, and the sth of September was awaited with glad expectancy. Our people, *‘ with a mind to the work,” have repaired the church, enclosed it with aneat fence, and purchase a new bell, which betng unfortunately detained by an accident on the rail- road, did not reach us until Saturday; but the old one called together a willing people, on Wednesday morning, delighted to welcome again their formcr pastor, Rev. C. A. Monroe, and fisten e&rnestly to the words of fervent truth as he gave the opening sermon from Nehemla ii, 17: -* Come let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a re- proach.” This doue, Presbytery was cflled to or- der, and Rev. W. R. McCiletlan was elected Modera- tor. Rev. J. A. Ramsay and Ruling Elder J.M.Knox were chosen temporary clerks. Presbytery then adjourned for the noon recess, and many pleasant greetings followed as the pcople claimed thetr re- spective guests. There was much disappointment over the absentees, among them the Revs. Wharey, McKinnon and Rockwell, but as their excuses were read in the afternoon session, we felt that we must don the grace of resignation. Mr. R. E. Lentz, of Mooresville, being recommended by Mr. Whar-y, was exainined and taken under the care of Presby - tery as a candidate forthe ministry. Mr Lentz fs on his way to Texas, where he becomes private secretary to Dr. Dabney, this position enabling him to defray the expenses of his education. A very interesting communication from the trus- tees of Davidson College was read, relative to the increased progperity and usefulness of that Instltu- tion. Other business proposed. but one of the mem- bers suggesting that at the rate they were moving they would floish all too soon, an adjournment was called and carrled. At 8 p. m. we listened to an interesting discourse from Rev. A. W. White. Text: “The wind blow- eth where it listeth.” On Thursday the Sessione! reports were heard from the different-churches, and it was encourag- ing to hear the accounts of the work of grace inthe various parts of the vineyard. The lecture of the Rev. John W. Davis on Japan and the missionary work in prugress there was lis- tened to with earnest and careful attention. Our peopie were much moved, and not only their hearts but their purses also responded to the call. The Committee on Davidson College brought tn their report, earnestly commending that Institution to our people as a most excellent school for the thorough training of their sons, socially, inteilectu- ally. and spiritually. At 7.30 p.m. r. Davis resumed his lecture mak- ing China the theme, showing the extent of her ter- ritory, her wealth and her culture, Mlustrating all by maps and drawings, and by various articles of dress and ornament, and yet showing how deplora- ble is her situation with regard to religion, and how great the need that we who enjoy so fully the glo- rious ght of the blessed Gospel, should be roused to greater actlvity in sending help to those who sit “In the darkness and shadow of deatn.” Dr. Davis Knows whereof he speaks, as he has been a missionary in China for some yeais, has stu- died most carefully the manners and habits ol the people, and has the happy faculty of making lis narrations most Interesting to his bearers. We all felt that lis heart was tn his work, and our increas- ed sympathies go with him as he returns in a sbort time to that civilized yet benighted race, accomp:- nied by his family and Miss Tidball, a young laly who has also given her time aud talents to the Muster’s work as a missionary to China. Friday morning the discussions relited to the Home Mission field. and the supplying of destitute sections with the labors of an Evangelist. Presbytery expressed their appreciation of the noble services of Kev. John W Davis as a mission- ary, and assured him of their continued sympatby, prayers, and hearty cc-operation in his labors. We all regretted that he must leave by the noon train. The morning services were conducted by kev. W. B. Arrowood, from John tv, 10—14, show ing thatthe fountain of life alone can quench the thiisty soul. In the afternoon the subject of Home Misstons Was again taken up. Rev. E. ©. Murray had pre- pared a map showing the relative position of the churches in the Western Evangelleal field of this Presbytery, and the large extept of territory un- supplicd with reguiar preaching—much of it not supplied with preaching at all, and using this as an illustration, he made a most stiring appeal for an active, energetic man to be sent to this fleld. to build up new churches, to rekludle the fires on the smoldering altars. Mr. Murray’s appeal was second- ed by others. and as a result Presb) tery decided to senc an Evangelist, as soon as possible, to labor tn McDowell and Mitchell countles, and espectally to supply Dysartville, Turkey Cove and Spruce Pine with preaching. Several excellenc addresses on Davidson College were also given; then the recommendation of the General Assembly on the observance of the Sabbath was taken up and discussed with much animation. The reading of secular literature on the Sabbath, and the running of Sunday trains were especially denounced, and the recommendation was adopted On Saturday the committee appoluted to consider the best methods of colporteur work brought tn their report, and the present systemof colportage Was continued till next Spring. It was also resolved that a Sungay School Con- vention should be held at every fal meeting of Pres- bytery. Revs. Monroe, Murray and Rumple, and Ruling Elders E. T. Greenlee and —— Macintosh were appointed a committce to arrange programme for the first convention. A rising vote of thanks was then given to the peo- ple of Marion and vicinity for their kind entertain- ment, also to the rallroad for reduced rates, and Presbytery adjourned with singing, prayer and the benediction, to meet again next Aprii, at Dr. Rum- ple’s church in Salisbury. Mosi of the members left on the noon train, but first we listened to an excel- lent sermon from Rev. C. M. Payne. The text, “(If I wili that he tarry till I come, what ts that to thee; follow thou me,” breathed a spirit of resignation that was most touchingly developed by an earnest exposition of the mysteries of God’s grace, working among the hearts and lives of his people. On Sabbath services were conducted tn the Pres- byterfan church by Rev. W. R. McClelan, and in Baptist church by Rev. R.S. Arrowood. Mr. Mec- Clellan’s sermon, from John, iv, 19, was followed by the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. administered to a large circle of communicants, most of our sis- emn ordinance. Rev. R. 8S. Arrowood preached the closing sermon at night from the text, Let it alone this year,” and the duty of earnest, faiLhtul fruft bearing, ere the Master visits his vineyard,was forcibly impress- ed upon us. As thedisciples on the Mount of Transfiguration, we have felt that it was good for us to be here, and we would fain linger under the shadow of spiritual blessings, but we return to the lower plane of dally life, grateful for the glimpses of Heaven voucasafed us, and humbly hoping thatere another forty yeare shall pass, we may welcome our Presbytery again. +4 a More Earthquakes.

C., Sept. 21.—There svere three shocks of earthquake at Charleston last uight and early this morning, a shock at 5:20 a.m. being quite sharp and causing houses to rattle un- comfortably, There was no general alarm, but-a good many persons ran out of their houses into the streets and re- mained there. At Summerville there were three shocks between 4:25 and 6:30 this morning, there being a rather violent shock at 5:20. As here, a loud noise, like the report of a heavy gun, was heard at the beginning of the severe shock, and there were detona- tions or explosions with two of the shocks at Suinmerville, , It is reported that a part of the wall of the Medical College, aYeea tis weakened, was thrown down by this morning’s shock, and much loose plastering was also thrown down. A;colored man was jinjured by a falling wall ter churches joining in the participation of this sol- | 7 ~ A Strange Sight in Charleston. After the fire on King street broke out Tuesday night, when the whole 'of the lower ward housetops were illuminated, a strange thing was seen. On the top of the ruins of the porch lof the Main Station was seen a cross, lemblem of Christianity, which shone with resplendent brightness. There never was across on the building as far as known, and the appearance of this one soon attracted attention as it stood out of the ruins. A policeman —it is needless to say that he was an Irishman—pointed to it, and said as he uncovered his head. saved us.” The escape of the police- men who were not on duty is certainly remarkable. There were thirty men sleeping in the upper story of the build- ing, which, together with the porch, isa complete een restr Neics and Courier. ey 9 THe STRENGTH OF TWELVE SAMS80NS.

Cannot the musical element or Salisbury give a Charleston Benefit Concert? It would be an easy way to raise another hundred dollars for the destitute in that stricken city. The location for the water stand pipe has not yet been settled upon; but will probably be erected on one of the four principal syuares in the center of town in rear of the business houses. Life Insurance is a matter for every man’s consideration. Reliable insurance at reasonable rates is offered through the Provident Saving Life Assurance Society. See advertisement in this paper. Salisbury has been made a free delivery ofice—which means that all mail matter stamped with the ten ceat special deliy- ery stamp, will be sent to the address at once by special messenger. A gentleman in town this week from Lexington reports a prevalency of chills in that town, something almost hereto- fore unheard ofin that immediate section. It ia generally believed that the presence ofa few fish ponds near town is the cause of the trouble. Kluttz’s Chill Cure, a proprictary med- icine having its origin here in Salisbury, has stood the test of efficiency for over fifteen years and is still manufactured by Kluttz & Co., of this place, and sold by the leading drug houses all over the country.

Annie Neave, the six year old daughter of Mayor Neave fell from a piazza on Sunday evening and was right badly hurt. Her injuries are not considered dangerous.

But itis the duty of all good Democrats to hear the gentlemen whom they have selected to represent them, hence the importance of attending their speakings. It is getting to be a common thing to see a half dozen or more wagons from the country in town of Saturdays ped- dling beef. Some of it has the appear- ance of being very fine; but it is said that it is not as well butchered as if done by professional butchers. Consequently not so finely flavored. The many friends of David Barringer Esq., were glad to see him in town last Saturday although not pleasant to see him on crutches. He is now among the oldest and most respected citizens of Row- an and it is hoped that he will very soon recover from his recent injuries, and be able to go in and out as formerly without the aid of crutches. On Tuesday the negroes turned out enmasse to grect the negro firemen from Charlotte. The latter came inthe glory of a red uniform and a brass band. They spread over the town, and attitudenized on the corners—just to show the common niggers of a town what city negroes look like. They had aregular good negro time. Every afternoon the cars on the West- ern road bring people here from every section of the country, North and South, who spend from five o'clock till night taking in Salisbury generally. The wide | honey.” streets, splendid shade trees and the regu- | larity with which the town is laid out elicits favorable comment from all. The | Federal Cemetery is a place of great | interest to Northern people. M. S. Brown needs a new and larger store room. He has built up an immense trade in ready made clothing, shoes, hats and gentlemen’s furnishings. He is just now opening the new fall and wintersty les, and finds his house too small to properly display them. His purchases this year embrace the latest styles in all the goods he handles, and visitors will find many new and novel things in his store. The principal part of Main street has been somewhat improved by digging down the high and uneven places—mak- ing the bed level. Now if it were mac- adamised on top of the level plain, there would be nothing left to be desired. When the Yadkin railroad is completed there will be no excuse for anything less |than streets paved throughout with | Dunn’s Mountain granite. Mr. W. C. Ijindsay has returned from New York where he has been selecting the fall and winter goods for the firm of Meroney & Bro. He claims to have out ;done all former effortsin the way of ladies dress goods and trimmings. His good taste in such matters has given him a reputation among the Jadies. They will flock in to see for themselves in a few days, when the bulk of the new goods will be ready for inspection. On the way to the baptising last Sun- day one negro was heard to remark to another, as they passed : ‘“Now look’t dat nigger! gwine in dat persession ?” ‘‘T’se gwine ter de baptis’n chile, come on en see ’em ?”’ ‘“Who me? not much.

The ladies of the Presbyterian church are to be congratulated on the success of their mission party. The lawn was ap- propriately lighted and the scene was gay and attractive. ‘Fhe attendance was very good and all seemed to enjoy the evening. The gross receipts amounted to $50. This isto follow Dr. Davis to his field of labor in China, and it is intended from time totime to repeat these par- ties. The ladies have undertaken the work in earnest, which isa guarantee that this place will do its full duty to the missionary and his people. oe Ogden’s Comedy Company. The citizens of Salisbury are to enjoy a rare treat on Saturday night of this week. Gdgen presents three fine comedies in the performance as follows: ‘‘A Happy Path,” “Sweethearts’’ and ‘‘Bamboozling.” These plays have attracted great attention in New York and elsewhere. The perform- ances of the Ogden Co. have elicited high encomiums from the critic press. We are assured that the performance will be refined and most entertaining. The Lynchburg Virginian, of July 8th, 86, > what little land they aid performance. Mr. Ogden is a finished column. pn Items From Everywhere. Editors Watchman :—Our thanks are hereby tendered to “Sweet Gum Grub” and others of your correspondents for kind inquiries aboutus. Very bad health 18 our excuse for not writing sooner, and oftener. wecks past, but very few turnip seed have been sown, and farmers have failed to get as much stubble land turned for wheat as they desired. A good plan will be to prepare well, get turned, fertilize it well, and sow wheat only on that, and they will probably make as much as if a larger crop was sown. The remaining portion can be broken during the winter and seeded to oats and clover in the Spring. : On Saturday evening, the 18th, we had a nico shower of rain, which revived things considerably. Upon the whole, Franklin has produc- ed a pretty fair crop of tobacco, which is now generally ripe, and the farmers are cutting and curing it as rapidly as possible. The worms have been unusually bad this year and a good many crops look pretty ragged from their depradations. "Twas next to impossible to keep them down. Enpassant Thomas B. Fraley has just completed a splendid new tobaeco barn on his father’s place on Statesville road. He has put in the most approved system of flues for curing. For the last year or two, the tobacco have ruled so ruinously low, that farmers have no encouragement to raise it, and unless there is an improvement soon, many persons will be forced to abandon its cultivation altogether. It is the most troublesome crop, and requires the closest attention and nicest handling ofany farm product. From the plant bed to the warehouse, it requires the ut- most care and solicitude. We are aware that the prices of all products are governed largely, by supply and demand, and yet it cannot be so in regard to the present shameful prices paid for leaf tobacco, or else, why are there not correspondingly low prices demanded for the Manufactured article ? For some time past leaf tobacco has only been selling at from one to fifteen and twenty-five cents a pound, the bulk of it going at from one to three and five cents. In the town of Salisbury alone, there are no less than three warehouses, and four manufactories of plug tobacco, whilst at Winston, Durham, and other -places, there are a large number more. It does seem, that with all these facilties for the purchase and manufacture of the weed, better prices ought to be paid. The farmer sells his raw material for from one to four or five cents, and when he buys a pound of plug tobacco, he must pay fifty cents a pound for the most in- ferior grade, and from that all the way up to one dollar or more for the fancy brands. This is evidently all wrong, and shows a screw loose somewhere. The truth is that merchant manufact- urers and traders, all have their rings and combinations, their bulls and bears, a species of free masonry amongst them, for their mutual protection and interests, and they only pay just such prices as they please, und then sell as high as they please. Whilst in the case of the farmer, there are none of these rings and combinations, but everyone for himself, and the manufacturers and traders against us all, andwe must sell for just such prices as they please to give us, and thus it will continue to be, under the existing state of things, and unless the farmers and producers can develop some plan_ or system for their mutual protection, they will become poorer and poorer, and wil! water,’ for the manufacturers and mo- nopolists, whilst the latter will continue to amass colossal fortunes, and live in luxury and splendor, on the hard earn- ings of the farmer. Cotton is now opening pretty freely, and will soon require the attention ofthe pickers. A. L. Hall's fine gin is in perfect order, and ready to gin any quantity that may be delivered there. There has been a very singular pheno- men connected with o1.e of Esq. W. R. Fraley’s carp pouds. He has two ponds on the same stream, one just below the other, the two being separated by a strong dirt dam. Under each dam, there is a wooden trunk for drawing off the water. Up tothe time of the late earth- quake, these two ponds kept about equal- ly full of water. Some days subsequent water in the upper pond was gradually sinking, and up to date, has fallen more than a foot, whilst the lower pond is unusually flush and full, and running over. There is no visible cause for this, and it is evidently caused by a seam or crack in the dam, produced by the violent shak- ing of the earth Onthe morning after the earthquake this pond was discovered to be very muddy. A. L. Hall Esq. has recently met with another very serious misfortune in the death of one of his fine black match horses. He had driven him down to where his daughter lives, ten miles below Salisbury, on last Thursday, returning home the same evening. After passing through Salisbury, he discovered that somthing was wrong, but kept on slowly, until he got within halfa mile of home. Here the horse gave out, and could take the vehicle no further. He managed with help, to get him home, however, and next morning he was dead. On cutting him open, it was found that he died from eating unground, red rust roof oats, as his maw was stuck full of Felee and grains of oats protruding. Grains of oats were also found sticking all about in his flesh. This should be a warning to all horse owners, not to feed oats of that kind, without grinding it. The horse was a noble animal and could not have been bought for less than two hundred dollars. THE MAN ABOUT THE COUNTRY. LAE TRS AA CEL ETT A TESTE TEI: DIED. Katie Mamie, infant daughter of Robt.

K. BRUNER, EDITOR, The Reynolds Again. A visit to the Reynolds mine in Mont- gomery county would impress the stu- dent fresh from some “school of mines” very unfavorably. He would see an old fashioned, one-horse, single runner Chil- lian mill, turning with deliberate slow- ness, in fact, making four evolutions in each minute. He would probably laugh outright, and “wonder where it came from,” and of course, compare it with the mills of the gods, which are said to grind slowly. But this granite wheel as it turns in its bed, not only pulverizes the ore, but with a twisting motion brightens the faces on the particles of gold and makes the affinity with the mercury, which is poured in with the ore, a very sure and easy matter. There is no vio- lent agitation of the pulverized mass, but a constant even motion, which is favora- ble to amalgamation. This mill goes only cight hours per day and the miller has ample time to mount a cart and haul the ore from the mine to the mill, and to clean up in the evening. This shows the economy of the plan. With this out- fit, the output last weék of the Reynolds mine was 185 pennyweights. That is profitable mining on asmall scale. There is ore enough in the vein to supply ten chillian mills, and could ten mills be run with the economy which now character- izes the management, it would not take long to acquire a fortune. GOLD HILL MINES, The London Mining Journal announces that the Gold Hill Mining Company has made new arrangements for the manage- ment of their property at Gold Hill. They have dispensed with the services of Capt. W. Nance and have appointed Mr. George Crampton, Jr. I. M. E., F.C.8., as general manager and superintendent. With him is to be associated an experien- ced mining captain for under-ground work. Mr. Crampton combines many ac- complishments; besides being a mechani- cal engineer, he isan accomplished chemist and metallurgist. He has had considera- ble experience in both gold and iron mining. He will reach the Gold Hill pro- perty this week and will begin at once to push the work. They are just now in good bunches ofore, as was reported last week, so that the new superintendent will have the pleasure of finding everything in good shape on his arrival. He will do well to listen tothe old miners, and not re- buff them as has often been done. Some of the men who have been “raised in the mine” so to speak, can give much valua- ble information, which has been general- ly despised by ‘‘men of science” fresh from some distant field. The Gold Hill region is one requiring special study and is full of individuality, geologically speak- ing. MADISON'S BARYTA MILL. Daugherty Bros. of Conn., have, near Warm Springs, in Madison county, a plant of machinery for reducing baryta and preparing it for market. They have taken advantage of the abundant water power in that section and use a turbine wheel to supply the power for crushing the material. The process of reduction is very simple; the material is quarried and tragsported to the crusher where it is reduced to sand and gravel size; then it istreated to a sulphuric bath which clears it of all impurities, it is then given a water bath which prepares it for the burr stones. It is reduced in the mills to an impalpable powder and is then ready for shipment. Baryta is largely used in giving body j to various preparations of paints, and to adulterate white lead. Its specific gravi- |ty is 4.3 to 4.7 and it consists of baryta | 69.7, sulphuric acid 34.3. It is abundant ‘in the Western part of North Carolina. Mr. White, the President of the present ;Crowell Mining Co., has gone down to the mine. A new prospect shaft is being sunk on a quartz lead on the property. Work has been begun onthe Union property under the direction of Dr. Kmmens. The property. which consists of more than three hundred acres, is to be thoroughly prospected. The WATCHMAN cabinet has been aug- mented by the addition of twenty-five | cut gems from North Carolina gerh stones. | s — oem ae | LIST OF LETTERS. | List of letters remaining in post office jat Salisbury, N.

J7/-Bits. 7 How to Enjoy Life. a Se WEE Oe a Buoyant spirits and happy thoughts are natural to the young, but youth does not always last. In our early vears we niust form those habits which ‘will enable us to enjoy to the full ex- tent all the years that (rod gives us. To that end let'me give you a few simple rules. 1. Always be fult of some earnest vursuit. | think even Sysphus must have been happier, perpetually rolling the same stone up the same hill, than he could have been age after age with “Activity devoted to good definition of happiness. ‘Babies and kittens are happy without an aim in life, but theirs isa kind and degree of enjoy- ment which eannot possibly content strong and growing minds. 2. If possible never be behind in your work. Perhaps you have heard the old story of the sick boy, whose | physician declared that he had every symptom of overwork. “Impossible, suid his mother. “He is required to do nothing except to bring in one bucket of water each day.” “When does he bring it 2” said the doctor. “We try,” was the answer, “to have it done in the morning, but he puts it off; and, though often reminded of it, he gen- erally neglects it until we are obliged to call him up again after he has gone to bed, that he may bring it.” “Ah,” said the doctor, “that explains it all. Make him bring it early im the morn- ing, and he will get well.” And he did. The work which we neglect and carry on our consciences Wears us more that all that we do. Joseph Cook once wrote ina young girl's album, “Duty done is the soul’s fireside.” 3. Form the habit of being thank- ful for your blessings. — This is the key to that wonderful gift, content- ment. There are many people dressed in silks and sealskin, and shining with beautiful jewels, who are covered with mortification because they are so illy hclad, and full of anger to think that better garments are not theirs; while | others, whose scanty clothing is hardly | decent or comfortable, have hearts full ‘of gratitude and joy. Besides, thank- i fulness, which binds us to other loving ‘hearts, is the sweetest part of all the good we can get from our possessions. These three things will do. much to j;inake our lives happy. — Let me make | one other suggestion. Take care that ; Your amusements are really recreation. ‘They must not be the business of life. When amusement becomes our chief pursuit, it soon palls on the taste. And |when the power of enjoyment 1s lost }in this way it is hard to recover. The | power of recreation, like that of diges- jtion, once impaired, can only be re- | nothing to do. useful ends’ 1s a | covered with great difficulty and by long abstinence. . Neither should amusement be a ‘passion with us. Play rests us. Pas- ‘sion is like a fire which burns that on which it feeds, and ever calls for more. Beware of the games whose interest is | stinulated by bets, or by those con- venient apologies for bets, prizes. | Beware of the amusements which lead to late hours and mornings heavy with languor and depression. Some public jamusements can never be healthy, because their promoters are compelled jto make them populer by ever-vary- ing methods of passionate excitement. | Work is the business of life, and play, iwhich diverts us from heavier cares on short no-/ and helps us to fellowship with kindred himself comfortably, much — to Ispirits, should not untit us for it. | Withal, do not forget the highest aim for work, usefulness ; and the best of all recreation, prayer.—Vhe Congrega- tionalist. ——b> <> a | | Kindness to Animals. | | Every one should know that kindly treated animals will do. their best for their owners. A curious case happened | recently, which may be given as an example. A noted trotter was driven jin arace by a strange driver. The horse was evidently dissatistied and lost _two heats. The old driver knew the horse could do better, and Legged the jowner to be permitted to drive him. L. W. CLEMENT, ; Mounted the sulky the horse whinned | | with pleasure and won the next three that the owner had an offer of fifteen thousand dollars for the animal. It is always thus. A farm driver. A attended by a stranger or® disagreeable person, and one that is petted and jtreated with gentleness will . never jexhibit the common fractiousness of kicking, or holding up the milk. This |1s true of all farni animals; who return panda with affection and generosity, |and abundantly repay the consideration ishown them by their owners. — Every | boy, especially every farmer's boy, | should early learn to treat all animals | with kindness. . aa E> -0 <p Chicago News. | | Training Cockroaches to Fight. | | | During the last four centuries the | Chinese have trained and fought cock- | roaches for” sport and betting purpo- ses.

The jtraining is a slow process. When ‘young they are carefully nurtured on | rice, sugared water and a peculiar paste | made expressly for the purpose.

Scranton, Pa. Sept. 13.—A thrill of horror ran through the city to-day, when it was learned that another terrible acci- dent had occurred in the mining regions by which one man was instantly killed and cix others were buried alive by a cave-in. For several days there has becn a general fecling of uneasiness among the miners, which was intensified yesterday by a distinct shock of carthquake and the bursting of a metcor, reported to have occurred at Akron, Oinio. Shortly after the day gang went to work at the Marine shaft this morning there was aloud rumbling sound heard, which was followed by a cloud of dust rushing up the shaft. The alarm was at once given, but it was too late, as the shaft was filled in by the fallen earth, and the day gang were prisoners ina living tomb, A rescue par- ty was at once organized, and sect to work with a will, One man has been taken out dead, Six men at last accounts were still entombed, and the chances of rescuing them alive are considered very slight. on — — re A Boy's Way and a Soldier’s Way.

When a boy runs away from home to go out West and fight the Indians, he takes a bowie-knife and two revolvers, a Winchester rifle, a lot of powder and bullets. When a.warrior graduates at West Point and makes ready to go forth and fight the Indians he hies him down to Washington, gets detailed on somebody's staff, trades his uniform for a dress suit, and if the Indians want to see him they must come to Washington and leave their cards at his hotel. —-:>-+ ~ It Mattered How He Died.

Chicago Herald. Coming in over the Monon route a few days ago a Chicago drummer sat musing by the open window and wip- ing perspiration and coal soot from his brow, and of course occupying two | seats. Down in Indiana some place a mative came in the smoker, and says: | “Shove along, stranger, an’ give }a feller ashow, Been killing hogs, and feel all used up.” | Then the native sat down, settled the drummer's disgust, and resumed: work.

The usefulness of possessing skill in a specialty was demonstrated yesterday by the good fortune of a young man of respectable appearances but evidently reduced cireumstances, who had been dling lead pencils for several days in Norristown. He paid a visit to Bridgeport, and entering the office of one of the mills of that place, tried to sell the owner three pencils for five cents. The good-natured manufacturer listened to him as he dilated on the merits of his wares and drew strokes on a piece of paper to show the good qual- ity of the lead. As the strokes were drawn they formed themselvs into a fig- ure of tasteful pattern, executed with neatness and precision. A few ques- tions showed that the peddler was a de- signer, and had not mentioned the fact because he had no hone of getting em- ployment where he was not known. He drew several other designs, showing such deftness of touch and fertility of invention that in half an hour he had been offered a position in the mill which he gladly accepted.— Norristown Herald. a eee The next Legislature can reduce tax- ation considerably, as there 1s now too much surplus money in the State Treasury. Probably there are eight or ten hundred thousand dollars in the Treasury, and no immediate use for it. Gov. Jarvis was right when he declared in his last Message that a State tax of ten cents on the $100 valne was sufh- cient to carry on the State Government, in view of the surplus then in the Treasury.

From our Regular Correspondent. | Wasnineton, D. C., Sept. 30, '86. If the Democrats are suecessfal in }maintaining their present majority in the Fiftieth Congress, as seems un- questionable, Speaker Carhsle will have ito look about in a lively manner to ifind the mght men to have charge of | ithe preliminaries of legislation. The Democratic conventions show up to date that not less than 32 of the 51 chairmen of the committees of the | House of Representatives have been refused) renominations, and not more than three-quarters of the conventions | have yet assembled. I doubt the wis- }dom of thus refusing to re-elect exper- hienced men, for it handieaps the party. [Several of the substitutes however, have been in Congress before and pos- sess large ability, courage and discre- tion. The rumor that Secretary Manning; is to be sent to Austrivas United States Minister in order to give him an oppor- tunity to spend his time at certain springs that would benetit his health, jhas been circulated here. Secretary Bayard knows nothing about the mat- }ter. The only explanation obtainable }from the other people who do not | know anything about it is that the sug- }gestion has been thrown out for what it is worth in order to enable the | President to retain the public services of Mr. Manning in a not very exacting office where he would have opportuni- ty to regain his health. The Acting Secretary of the Treas- Jury this week issues the 142nd eal] for j the redemption of bonds. The call is for $15,000,000 of the 3 per cent loan of 1882; "Notice is given that the principal and accrued interest of the bonds herein below designated will be paid atthe Treasury of the United | States, in the city of Washington, D. (., on the 16th day of October 1886, and that the interest on said bonds will cease on that day.” Parties holding bonds called by this circular can obtain immediate payment. with interest to date of presentation, by requesting the same in_ the letter forwarding the bonds for redemption. What is commonly known as_ the “voluntary call” or the circular of Aug. 30, issued by Acting Secretary Fairchild, offering to redeem uncalled three per cent bonds to the amount of | 10,000,000 if presented before Sept. 15, | has been so modified as to redeem “un- itil further notice” all three per cent ' bonds presented at the Treasury, at jpar and with accrued interest up to the date of redemption. The modifi- Feation extends indefinitely the amount lof the bonds thit may be present- ed and the date within which they will be redeemed. The President’s country house will not be ready for occupancy until late this fall and he may not go there at all to live until next spring. | - a> <> <a Dangerous Consolidation. legislature by the Knights of Labor m Angusta, Georgia, is attracting very | wide attention. This phase of the ques- tion, in. the South particularly, isa new one, as it has always understood that the organization as an organiza- tion would not enter the political field. | A proposition will be made at Rich- mond to solidify the negroes in the new order. A Pittsburg dispatch says: “*Master Workman Lawn, of a local assembly of the Knights of Labor, thinks that one great benefit which will result from the October conven- tion at Richmond will be the perfect organization of the reconstruction | e- riod in Virginia. Lawn was appointed -a registration officer under Gen. Canly. He held this office for three years, and while he admits the Southern negrces are inclined to he indolent, he feels certain they will respect the oath re- quired on entering the order. He thinks that their admittance into the order will stimulate their industry and result in higher wages.--- News-Observer. ' | : : | The nomination of a negro for the We have startling news to chronicle this week, and that is no more or less than that, on Saturday, at Downs’ school house, this county, Mr. R. Z. Linney withdrew from the Congression- al canvass against his Democratic com- petitor, Hon. W. H. H. Cowles, and leaves him to make a triumphant tour around the district, beginning today (the 22d) at Reepsville in Lincoln county. Our reporter has not returned from Wilkesboro and we are unable to give a resume of the speeches in the joint debate which took place there Tuesday, but we havegseen a number of persons who were there including Democrats, Republicans and Linney sympathizers, and they all unite in declaring that Col. Cowles got decidedly the adyant- : age, to put it mildly, of his antagonist. Linney led and made about the same speech that he delivered here and at Boone. ‘They spoke an hour each, we ‘believe. In his reply Col, Cowles con- | ‘sumed about 15 or 20 minutes ina calm and effective review of his course in Congress. He then began to sparkle )—he was in fine feather, he enjoyed the fight, he was at home, “his foot | was on his native heath and his name was McGregor”—and he began to pour jhot shot into Linney ina way that told. He got his antagonist under hack | from the start and he kept him there; he yiled argument upon argument, tollow- | oD m ed each lick with one more effective. The dience cheered to the echo. imagine how like a wet blanket this | was to Linney, and he never recovered ‘from it. One of the telling hits that Cowles made was to read from the _Journals of the Legislatures in) which Linney served a bill, that was introdu- ced by Linney and rejected by the Legislature, to. the effect that all rent- ers of land who did not pay their rent ) according to contract should be Hable | re ee cana | to criminal indictment. This isasample | brick of the hard licks which he hit. | | { The Republicans were disgusted with their champion and one of them ifrom Little Aleck shouted out “Pull Linney down and put York on Cowles!” | While Cowles was pouring hot shot pinto Linney and soaring aloft so elo- iquently that he fairly captured the au- dience, Linney sat dejected and cowed within the bar with his face between ‘his hands and Major E. L. Vaughn, of Alleghany, one of Linney’s fastest per- sonal friends —but not a political one walked up to him and kindly said, ney rephed that these canvasses were trying things. ) Although it was understood by the Wilkesboro, neither of them should canvass in Lincoln, Linney attempted a }little bushwacking game and had an appointment set at Downs’ school house, in this county, for last Saturday at two oclock. The posters announc- ing the appointment were discovered by Democrats in this county early in the week and Dr. Spainhour wrote to Col. Cowles at Wilkesboro and Mr. Sidney Deal posted at once to Wilkes- boro and told the Colonel. The latter was greatly surprised at this trick and wrote a letter to be read by Mr. Deal to the audience at Downs’ excusing j his absence on account of sickness in his family. When Mr. Linney arrived at the school house he was’ surprised to find the audience composed largely of the sterling Democrats of Little River township. He proffered to divide time with any one and Mr. H.S. Blair of- Democrats,’ but could not assume to represent Col. Cowles: who had not au- thorized him to do so. At two o'clock Mr. Linney began and he and Mr. Blair made three speeches each, conelu- ding at 5 o'clock. Linney’s speech was the same old one with a few variations and Mr. Blair is reported to us to have made able and vigorous — rejoinders every time and, preaching the pure and adulterated Democratic doctrine, to have given Linney some hard knocks. The latter took occasion to complhi- ment him upon the able manner in which he had replied to him. At the conelnsion Linney said that, if six good men would tell him he was wrong, he would retire from the ean- vass. that number of good Democrats show- ed trom their eyes ds:pproval of | his course, he retired from the building and had a short conference with some friends outside. Returning he made the following announcement in sub- stance: “I find myself in a position that no mortal man coud stand; [can- notendure the abuse and sarcasm that will be heapped upon me during next six weeks; [am to be attacked upon my war record— good though it be— which is wntten and in press now; every newspaper in the State is attack- ing me and every State official is against me; every man in the district who can make aspeech is on the stump against me and there is no one to speak for me but myself; [ have nothing be- fore me but an overwhelming defeat and a political Ceath—s>, on leaving Taylorsville, this morning.

I formally withdraw from the canvass and declare that I am no longer a can- date.” This announcement was greeted with around of applause and the meeting adjourned sine die. County Government. The importance of the present sys- tem of county government is touched upon. this morning by our Asheville correspondent. The matter is import- ant. The system is essential to the best interests of all the people and the dem- | ocratic platform therefore demands that it,shall be retained or else that only some? system like it shall be sub- stituted for it. Democrats who for any reason dishke it should suggest some- ‘thing better to put -in its place. Pat- ‘riotism should and we believe in most | Instances will deter them from seeking | to overthrow that which is’ the sole guarantee of honest government in many counties. Touching this subject | the Charlotte Home-Democrat says: “In order to correct false reports abroad. we will say that the democrats ‘of Mecklenburg county have not adop- ted resolutions against the system of county government, and we do not be- lieve they will ever do so.” Aud the Newberne Journal voices our OWh experience when it says: “Whatever complaints that. we have seen have not arisen from ay objection to the system, but from dislike to the action of ofhcers of the county under the system, which action would have been just as easily taken under an electivezsystem as the present. * * * The remedy then, is to put only good and reliable men in office and all works well.” : Let us maintain the present system strenuously at least until we can sub- stitute one like it that is better.-—Neus Observer. _ an A Railroad Commission. It looks as if North Carolina will be forced to have recourses, to a railroad commission, Col. Andrews and Maj. Wilson are now the only North Caroli- nians who have official connection with the Richmond & Danville system and their connection, it 1s suspected, 1s little more than nominal. They have here- tofore stood as a breakwater for our pro- tection, but there is reasonZto {believe that they have been shorn of much of thei power and have but little influence in the management. The danger in -ralroad commissions is two fold: — first, that the comuiss-oners?willjfall under the influence of the railroads; second, that by harsh treatment they injure the ‘railroads in their business and ecanse them in their irritation to seek new methods for persecuting the people. Men of high: integrity and great pru- dence are needed for such positions. Of course if the Legislature establish such commission and take upon itself the duty of choosing the commissioners it will choose them from among its own ‘members aud thus weaken confidence in it at the outset; but if it pass an act creating a commission and leave it to the Governor to appoint commissionesr, Goy. Sealesfean be,depended on to ap- point safe men and men who will do justice to all parties in every controver- sy. for he is neither at enmity with the railroads nor under their influence.— The Landmark. Reduce the Taxes. The State tax for state purposes, ishould be redueed ten or fifteen cents less than it nowis. — It is said at Ral- eigh that it can be reduced five cents. This is not enough. ‘Too mich money isnowin the hands of the Public Treaurer or in’ the Raleigh Banks. ‘There is more money collected to pay the interest on the State debt than neces- sary, and we protest against the coflee- tions of such excessive amounts. — If North Carolina papers woald talk more about North Carolina finances and the necessity for a reduction in taxation, and not devote all their attention to National affairs, they would do their own home people more good’--Char. Hoine-Demoarat. | | | | | | | | | Financial Truth. The best financiers in the country say that if people would promptly pay stall debts of one two or three or four dollars, it would make times easy and money plentiful. The neglect to pay a small debt does much harm to busi- ness and publie prosperity.

Speaker Carlisle on Democratic Economy. Wilmington Star. Mr. Carlisle is not only a man of ex- ceptional ability and general levelhead- edness, but he isa man of integrity and veracity. So what he says is well worth attention. First, then, he claims that the Demo- crats during their first year of power re- duced expenditures $25,630,78% But there were some extraordinary expenses to be deducted, amounting to $7,302,596. This leaves $17,743,796 as the net savipg. It will be instructive to know where the saving occurred. It can be thus summa- rised: Diplomatic and Consular Service, Treasury Department, Judiciary, Interior Department, War Department, Navy Department, $4,107,288 00 3,530,359 30 636,002 18 1,673,041 02 8,346,425 93 2,113,191 93 Indian Service, 453,336 46 Collecting Customs under Tariff, 2,960,726 31 Internal Revenue, 437,303 31 Now thisis surely a good beginning, and shows that the Cleveland Adminis- tration, backed by a Democratic House, has been able to make an important re- duction in the public expenditures for one year. . While the expenditures are $7,302,596.- 54 more in the Pension Bureau than du- ring the last year of Arthur this cannot be laid to the charge ofthe Democrats. The cause was that tnere were more claims adjudicated and that had to be met. But the Democratic Commissioner of Pensions cut off 150 clerks, saving that much to the people. For the second year of Democratic responsibility what is the showing? The Star has admitted that it was deceived by figures in the Northern newspapers soon after the adjournment of the Congress. Speaker Carlisle says there was a de- crease in the appropriations for the cur- rent year. We quote from him: “There was appropriated by these bills for the fiscal vear ending June 30, ’86, the ‘suin of $152,490,779.18, while theappro- priation made by the last session of Con- gress on the same bills and for the same purposes for fiscal year ending June 30, 1887$ was $146,004,583.44, or $6,486,195.44 less than the preceding year. Instead of the appropriation being larger, it’ is six afd a half millions less. The increase in the expenditures on account of the postal service from the year 1884 to the year 1885 was $4,540,850, and from 1885 to 1886 $4,660,590, while from 1886 to1887, which is the current fiscal year, the increase is only $664,873. The vast difference you see—$4,000,000 less than the increase be- fore under Republican administration.” The facts thus stated above are import- ant and ought to de effective service in the campaign. Let the people learn the precise facts concerning Democratic gov- ernment for its first year anda half. It will be seen that the pledges have been redeemed to some extent at least, if not as much as is desirable. The Republican Senate was disposed to be extravagant. It actually increased the House appropriations by $13,564,514, and the Democratic House positively re- fused to concurin most of these addi- tions. The figures as given by Speaker Carlisle are these: Appropriations of Demo- cratic ILouse, $247 490,554 Appropriations of Repub- lican Senate, $260,883,350 That also is an excellent economic point for the hustings. The House through joint conference yielded $3,000,000, and still saved $10,000,000, Think of that. We called attention yesterday to the fact that there will be agpincrease of revenues and that too when there isa large surplus in the groaning Treasury. Mr. Carlisle thinks the increase will be at least $30,000,000. This large sum is thus needlessly taken from the pockets of the people, But the Democrats can hardly be charged fairly with the responsibility in as muchas the true Democrats in the HTouse tried their best to cut down the present onerous, unfair, dishonest War ‘Tariff some $20,000,000. They are thwar- ted in this by the Republicans aided and abetted by so-called Democrats led by Mr. Randall. © Mr. Carlisle says that the surplus will steadily increase unless taxes are reduced. Ife, therefore, wisely holds that revenue reduction is siinply inevitable. It must come. Why should republican tax pay- ers consent to be bled every year to the tune of thirty, forty or fifty million dol- lars needlessly and in excess of public expenses? They are as much interested in tax reduction as Democrats are, and they ought to unite in demanding in thunder tones that this be done and the burdens in part be lifted. But hear the able Carlisle. Tle says:. “There is now about $140,000,000 of the public debt which the Government has a ight to pay at its face, and nearly all the bonds representing this indebtedness are held by the National banks. In less than two years this indebtedness will be fully discharged, and no other bonds mature until 1891, when $250,000.000 of 44 per cents will be payable. During the interval between the payment of the 3 per cents now outstanding and the matu- rity of the 44 per cents, unless the rev- enue is reduced or is used to purchase the obligations of the Government ata high premium, an enormous surplus must accumulate in the Treasury.” There is one more point of importance. It isthe reclamation of thepublice do- main—getting back Jands forfeited by railroads to whom large grants had been made. In three years under Democratic supremacy in the House the acres thus reclaimed amounted to 50,482,240. This territory thus embraced is larger than the State of Virginiagor North Carolina —amounting to 78,878 square miles. Mr. Carlisle says: “In addition to this the Democratic House of Representatives at the last ses- son passed bills forfeiting 3,843,094 acres, | which the Senate has not yet concurred | in. There are also on the calendar of the House, with favorable reports from com- mittees, bills forfeiting 13,067,214 acres more, which will be passed at the next | The area covered by all those | bills is 159,408 square miles and most of: it pretty good Jand.” That is to say, a territory equal in size to Virginia and North Carolina and South | Carolina. stitute a powerful plea why Democrats should be chosen over Republicans for Comgress. sa 2 A Pretty Good Point.

The cotton mill operatives in Augus-' ta, Ga., who are out on astrike for: which there seems to be no excuse: whatever, as the mills were paying’ le as high wages as they could af-! ford, are doubtless in a good deal of , want, and so the Augusta City Council ' some days ago with a disregard of other | pennies money, appropriated $1,000 to elp relieve those who were in need. Upon the strength of this, Maj. Jos. B. Cumming, a lawyer, concluded that he would also petition for a little help, so sent tothe Augusta Council the following. To the Honorable The Mayor and City Council of Augusta. The petition of Joseph B. Cummin respectfully shows : hat his occupation is that of attor- ney and counsellor at kaw, and solicitor in equity, and he has aa office for the transaction of business in the city of Augusta. That he has a considerable number of clients who are williug and ready to employ him, and who desire his serv- Ices. That said chents are willing and ready to pay him for said services the customary fees, and as much as_ they can afford to pay. But your petitioner would respect- fully show that he is unwilling to give his services at the customary rates, and has determined, if this, his reasonable petition, is granted, to decline to do so. Wherefore, inasmuch as your honor- able body has by its action of Septem- ber 6, 1886, declared it to be its policy to furnish relief out of the city treas- ury to persons in the situation of your petitioner, he humbly prays that honorable body will g | 6 fellow citizens. $1,000, to enable your petitioner to earry out his landuble purpose of de- clining to be employed as an attorney and counsellor at law and. solicitor in! equity at the customary rates, And your petitioner as in bound, will ever pray, ete.

This convention | held simultaneously with the fair, will add much to the influences set in mo- tion at those expositions, of which, in fact this is a legitimate result. There are certain things that may be done to, increase the irfterest of our visitors, and to lead them to decisiye conclusions while in our midst. Suppose for in- stance that all the mines in oneration in this gold belt were to send displays, every one duly labeled, the whole to be | so arranged as to show the ores in| geographical order. What an excellent impression a display like that would | make upon the editorial fraternity. Suppose furthermore that a large nuiu- ber of them should come from Raleigh to Salisbury and be carried throuch the entire district, the mine owners joing together as their guides and entertain-| ers. Would not the publicity given to this gold belt more than reconipense all concerned? In short—will it not! be wise and protitable for those inter-| ested in gold mining in all this region to act in concert both in exhibiting at the fair and then ijn inducing many to yisit the mines? : | { | | | { { { ee n> 0 > eee | | Rowan and her Democracy. | IS THIS AN OFF YEAR. | _Two years ago the people of these United States went to the polls and!

It is an old and very common experience, that the first persons to turn pale in shipwreck and to call upon God, are those who have boasted of their self-reli- ance and independence of God in fair weather; and there is no surer evidence of ignorance and cowardice, than an irreverent and flippant treat- ment of those movements in the material world by which God manifests himself to the crea- tures whom he has‘made. The proper attitude of every man, be he learned or ignorant, saint or sinner, in vierv of anearthquake, is that of humility. “ Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” Science, with all its theories and inventions, has never been able to defend mankind from a. single earthquake, nor to afford the slightest help during its vibrations; but religion has en- abled its adherents to say, ‘‘ We will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be earricd into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” It is one thing to assume that a calamity is a wrathful visitation of God upon a particular | place or individual, and quite another to believe that the voice of God is to be heard in the tem- pest and the earthquake, as well as in the mure He who assumes to interpret calamity as God's mur of the rivulet, dnd the zephyr breeze. wrathful judgment, should remember the words of our Lord respecting the victims of a Jewish accidcnt—, “or suppose ye that those cighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell were sin- ners above all them that dwelt at Jerusalem, because they suffered such things? I tell you nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” And he, on the contrary, who, looking over the material world, neither sees nor hezrs, nor recognizes God in all these works and won- ders, should read and ponder the words of Paul from Mars’ Hill to the Athenians, respecting | . | Hickory, God: ‘In him we live and move and have our being.” To the true student of nature, all things speak of God, from the dew drop that sparkles on the flower, to the brightest star in Orion’s gleaming belt; from the hum of the tiniest in- sect to the fearful roll of the earthquake; and he is not to be envied who hears and sees the phenomena of this curious and wonderful world without a single thought of the Creator and Preserver of all! To him the world is a work- shop without a workman ; to the devout student it is a temple wherein he may daily and hourly worship a God of wisdom, power, and love. aaa 0pe ge COCAINE, TODOFORM OR MERCURIALS in any form in the treatment of catarrh or hay fever should be avoided, as they are both inju- rious and dangerous.

Then the people as ;anation rested from their labors. This restful interval will continue, as to the nation, for two years to come; but are [the people of Rowan entitled to a jrest? We think not, for it is easy to attest and equally easy to demonstrate that the election of November, prox. touches our people more nearly and is of more vital importance to them than the one of two years ago. We can live under a republican gen- eral government if we are put to it this we have found upon trial. We can not live under a republican home government; and this we have found upon trial, To the latter, testify the bitter vears during which government by them meant little more than the wreck of affairs. Bitter years of which an impeached and disfranchised Governor, an exhaus- ited and debauched judiciary, a depleted and rifled treasury, millions upon mil- lions of fraudulent, dishonest and now | dishonored bonds were issued to burden the people, legislative halls filled with a streaming press of negroes, publie insti- tutions with closed doors, school houses deserted, desolate and decaying, coun- ties struggling under the imenbus of disproportionate debts. the Kirk War, the eighty cents on the hundred tax of L500, the SI.L17,160.44 squandered and stolen, the Littletield-Swepson steal and the thousand and one spectre shapes of dishonesty, debauchery, igno- rance, incompetence, and disgrace, crowded into them, are unforgotten tes- timonials. Years which area blot of dishonor and a horrible nightmare be- fore our eyes, Yes, we have tried this drossy amal- gam of negroes and Mott and heough “whites” (save the mark) and found that all that was not scorca was ashes, We drank to the lees their aerid cup, which was little more than a solution of negrogen stupidity and apostate ras- eality and our teeth are still on edge. No fear of our joining their party, for when we are prepared to do that we will rent pews in the African churches, take desks for our children in’ fheir schools and thus make a square, hon- est, consistent confession all round. There is only a fear that we will ) | Two years ago the people of these | . orchards | stay away from the polls in apprecia- ble numbers, thus jeopardizing, through carelessness, the result of a vital elec- tion, because we think it an off year. But is it an off year. We will look it over carefully and see. What branch of the government lies nearest to the people? How many of our people have come directly in con- tact and been affected by an executive act proceeding from either our Presi- dent or Governor? Hardly a dozen. Who is there among us able to bring one single enactment of Congress or the Legislature home to himself. Very few. . But, who is there that the judiciary does not touch and whois not therefore concerned that our judges be men of purity, conscience and learning in the laws? mento whom you can safely trust your homes, your liberty, your fair names, and your lives? Democrats of Rowan, the people of our State are called upon to select for themselves nine judges this Fall. Wall the demo- crats do this, as is their ght, due, and duty, or will they waive their privileges and permit others who. are irresponsi- ble prejudiced and ignorant to do it for them. Chosen by some one they will be, and we all must abide the choice, however it falls; and if we place or suffer aradical judge ina position where if he chooses—and such judges have in times past chosen to do this very thing —he may draw a party line against our property and our reputations, we must submit with what grace we can. We must say whether we will have our Supreme Court Bench constituted as now, of three grand old men whose. names are synonyms for probity and learning, or such an other exhaustible affair as they gave us before. — | Itis lett to you to say whether you will have a continuance of purity, capacity and fidelity amonz the judges } who come among you four times a year or whether you will try an assort- ment of their men with a Greasy Sam Watts or two among them. Choose! The writer of these lines is able to stand it 1f you are, for his interests are identieal with your own. He is a ean- didate for self respect alone and for no ottice or shadow of an office under the sun-—and never will be. Then, too, your County officers, your ftepresentative, your Senator and ia share of your notice. If you fail to notice them on election day, after that jday those elected will suffer you to puss unnoticed in turn, for they will not be of your color —in poltics at least.

Apathy and lethargy in our own ranks are the only means of achieving a victory, to which the Republieans ean look. Are you going to allow them to win by such means. Hardly!

DEMOCRATIC STATE EXECUTIVE CoM., Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 22, 1886. ic State Com- Another campaign is upon us, and it again becomes the duty of this comiit- tee to address a few words of counsel to those who are to carry the banners and fight the battles of democracy in this State. We have now so long been accustomed to the blessings of good government, un- der democratic rule, in North Carolina, that we may be in danger of forgetting the horrors trom which we emerged when our party, by a grand uprising of our people, obtained control ef the legislative branch of the State government fifteen years ago. ‘To those whoare otd enough io remember the reckless extravagance, the unblushing corruption, the deliant lawlessness of the negro and carpet-bag sway, Which all but ended in) war and bloodshed, it seems like a hideous dream; aud inthe enjoyment of the peaceful present and in the anticipation of a suill brighter future, they might prefer to put away the memory of it all forever. But as history is ever repeating itself it is well to be reminded of the past and that the people who did these things once will, if opportunity is offered, do the like again. Undoubtedly the democratic party is still the party of virtue and intelligence in this State, and so long as the ignordnt blacks continue to stand together ina solid phalanx on one side, the intelligent white men of North Carolina are com- pelled by every consideration of prudence and in sheer self-defence, to stand tegeth- eronthe other. They must see to it that they who pay the taxes shall have the controlling voice in directing how these taxes are expended. No fair minded man anywhere can find fault with them for this. We donot contend that we have made no mistakesin the decade anda half during which we have had control of legislation in the State, but we do in- sist that our mistakes have been few and ‘comparatively unimportant, and that re- sults on the whole have been such as to >a , your Congressman, should come in for | command the approval of all fiimminded men. Qur State, in spite of the poverty from which she has not yet recovered, has become respected abroad, while at home, peace, contentment and compara- tive prosperity and happiness nearly everywhere prevail. We found the pub- lic treasury empty and our credit bank- rupt. We found that the irresponsible strangers and our late slaves, who with a few corrupt or ambitious native whites, had assumed control of our finances, had in three years ran up, in the name of the State, an immense fraudulent debt to pay the interest on which they levied enormous taxes from an impoverished people, while they were utterly rezard- less of the accumulating interest of our honest debt. Weat once declared the fraudulent debt, $16,000,000 of bonds, is- sued without consideration to those whose property was to be made to pay them, as binding neither inlaw noriu = con- science, and wiped out the whole of. it. Then, in view of the fact that the honest debt had grown too large for the people to pay it all, we proceeded te make terms with the State’s creditors aud effect a settlement which was mutually satisfac- tory. By the act of 1879 our unsecured debted of $12,627,045, bearing 6 per cent interest, will have been redueed to $3,- 089,511, bearing + per cent; and the debt of $2,795,000, for which the State’s stock in the North Carolina railroad company was liable to be sold by deerce in. the Federal court, has nearly all been ex- tended for forty years, andthe State's control of our most valuable railroad pro- perty secured to her indefinitely. The dividends annually paid on her shares are. more than suflicient to meet the in- est on this extended debt. And so fair has the credit of North Caaolina grown un- der the care of her loyal democratic sons that her 4 per cent bonds are worth par inthe markets of the world, and her 6 per cents are bringing a premium of more than 25 cents on the dollar. What other Southern State can boast as much? We found that during the three years of republican rule they had handled and wasted upwards of a million dollars be- longing to the educational fund, and had paid less than forty thousand for teach- ing the children of the State. We have now fully established, a system of publie schools nearly equal to the best, in full operation, school houses in every hamlet open for several months in each year, and the school sessions yearly increasing in length, with graded schools and nor- mal schools in which our teachers are better prepared for their duties, at our principal centres of population—every dolar of our half a million raised for school purposes legitimately applied. We found our unfinished railroads, not- Withstanding the millions of bonds issued professedly to build’ them, making no progress, their ties rotting and their iron rusting, These roads are now, some of them, finished and the others rapidly ap- proaching completion, while new. lines and branches have been begun and fin- ished since the new era dawned in 1871 Our mileage of roads has nearly doubled and the public debt not increased. We have built) two new asylums for the in- sane, of large dimensious; and the peni- tentiary, of sufficient size and strength to safely keep all the conviets likely to be sentenced to it, is nearing completion. And all this without an increase of our taxes, and “to pay? as we go” has been our motto. No new bonds have been is- sued, nor any deficit made for these great works. Soon they will be otf hand, and our State taxes may be still further re- duced, or, if the people prefer it, the ex- cess may be applied in the still better education of our children, It has been and continues to. be the policy of the democratic party to use the labor of the convicts to. the penitentiary in work on railroad and draining the swamp Jands belonging to the State for the purpose of bringing them into mark- et, and to ayoid employing it in competi- tion with the honest labor of the country, ‘There seems to be a growing disposition to haye convict labor employed in part on the publie highways, so faras it can be done consistently with the requirements of the constitution that our penal insti- tions must be made as nearly self-sup- porting as posible. ‘Theadiministration of the executive de- partment of the State government. since the inauguration of a democratic govern- or in 1877, has been allthat could reason- ably be expected. Vance, Jarvis, Seales, able, wise and progressive—so far as progress is consistent with true conserva- tisua—have done or omitted little for party friends to_ criticise or political enemies to complain of. They have exe- cuted the laws fthithfully and fairly, and With justice to all classes and colors, As much may be said of the adminis- tration of justice and expounding the laws by our democratic judges. Their delieate dutics have been faithfully exe- cuted and their great and inercasing lubors conscientiously performed. We have heard of no stugyestion of unfaithful- ness and of no suspicion of corruption with respect toany of them. We therefore conlidently commend the judicial ticket presented by our late convention—Smith, Ashe and Merrimon for the supreme court; and Connor, Clark, Boykin, Mont- gomery, Graves, Avery and James H. Merrimon (the last the only one who has not heretofore served as judge and his high character and ability are universally conceded) to the support of the law-loving voters of the State; and all such are urg- ed to go to the polls and giye them deserv- ed endorsement. Ii is submitted with all confidence that President Cleveland has) redeemed his promise raade on his nomination and at his inuguration, to conduct the govern- ment of the United States on business principles. Tle has never forgotten that “public otiice is a public trust,” to use his own maxim and that one who is entrusted with the conduct of a great government, should employ at least that measure of watchfuiness, prudence, econo- my, and faithfulness in the discharge of his duties that is expected of one who has the direction and control of the af- fairs of an ordinary person or corpora- tion. Whether it suited politieal friend or foe he hasexecuted the laws as he found them inthe statute book, ina manner to command the applause of the lawabiding ofall parties. His courage, industry, faith- fuluess and capacity for Iaber have been beyon Lall praise. Millions of money have already been saved by reforms instituted under his administration and the depart- ments at Washington have been and are being purified of much rottenness and corruption which had accumulated under rep a! Vean adn nistrations. By his recogni- ‘tionof the South as an integral part of the country, with equal righta, by selecting ‘ apefibers of his cabinet and appointing for- Lei mivisters from Southern States he has ‘putan end tosectionalism, we hope, forever. The bloody srirt can never be raised as a rallying banner again. Some, conceding that the present Con- gress, of which only the lower house is democratic, has under democratic influence done much for the benefit of the country— for example, passing laws whereby over 50,- 000, 000 acres of land granted to railroad companies on condition and uncarned by them, were declared forfeited and thereby saved for actual settlers; cirtain bills for the protection of labor, &c,—yet complain that the democrats have not abolished the inter- nal revenue system and reduced the tariff to u revenue basis, with only inciedntal pro- tection to ourindustries. To them we reply, that the only hope to do these things is in the democratic party and not in that party which is responsable for the system and in- auzurated these high protective tariffs; and that our Congressmen from this State, at least, have done their duty in trying to a- bolish the oncand ameliorate the other, and it becomes us to see that good democrats are agnin sent to Congress, with renewed in- structions to exert all theirinfluence toward the attainment of these desired ends. In our address two years ago we assured the public that the so-called liberal party existed but in name. Eventhename is vow athing of the past. That device to divide and weaken our party having failed, our adversaries are trying another plan to dis- tract and ruinus. Not daring to oppose us in many sections with republican candidat- es, or those called liberals, they find in our ranks professed democrats, ambitious, self- ish men who, for some reason, could not se- enre nomination from democratic conven- tions, and these they persuade to run as iw- dependent democrats. Well they know that if such men are successful, they must of necessity cease to belong to the party whose rules they have ignored and whose organization they have attempted to de- stroy, and would ultimately join those to whom they owe their ec'ection, An open enemy ig much to be preferred toa faithless friend; and true democrats will see that such independents are repudiated and ig- nominiously routed, In 1884 we carried our State ticket. by about 20,000 majority, and a leeislature over two-thirds democratic was returned, while we sent democratic Congressmen from eivht out of our nine districts. This was done by organization and hard work. Let us now sec to it that our organization is preserved and let us again go to work. It ix now less than six weeks to the day of election, and to make signal victory, at all points, certain, much remains to be done. Every good citizen owes it to patriotism to vote, and to vote intelligently and rightly. Heshould inform himselfaud his neighbors on the public issues beforehand, and when the day of election comes he should give it, orat least a part of it, to hiscountry. Ifhe fails in this and bad men are clected or bad laws made, he bas no right to complain, He has neclected to do his duty, So, with organized work, we will again succeed. Let the township committees see that every democrat, and every one who can be persuaded to vote the democratic ticket, is properly registered and has the opportu- nity to get to the polls and vote. Let these committees report frequently and regularly to the county committees, and let the coun- ty committees report to this committee. Theo, on election day, let every Qumocrat do his duty, and the State will be safe in democratic hands for two years longer, and we will be assured of good, conservative vovernmen for that period, at least. R. I. Barrur, Chairman. C. BecKWITH, Secretary. {State papers please copy] 2 mS ] ~<a ——__—_ Education ‘and Democracy. Under democratic administrations the disbursements for teaching the white and black children of North Carolina for nine years (excepting about 5 per cent for, expenses) have been $3,998,871.63. The University normal school for whites and the State normal school at Fayetteville for col- ored people, were established in 1877, and jatier eight normal schools, con- veniently located in different parts of the State, four for each race, were ad- ded tothe two already in- existence. Later still the University normal school was discontinued, and four others, loea- ted in different sections of the State and costing the same amount money, were substituted therefor. These normal schools are intended to teach the teacher how to teach most cffectively and that they are of great value has been shown in the improve- ment of the pubhe school system and the better primary instruction that now prevails throughout the State. Two thousand seven hundred and twenty- one teachers were last year reached and benetitted by these normal schools and three thousand four hundred and eighty five more were reached by the institutes established likewise by the democrats, held in nearly every county of the State and paid for with about $4.500 from the school fund. This liberal and progressive action, more- over, has secured to the State for six years past twelve Peabody scholarships, good each for two years at the Nash- ville normal college, and worth each a considerable sum. The aggregate a- mount expended annually by the dem- ocrats for teacher training is about 22.000. The whole educational sys- tem has been raised to a high degree of efficiency. Graded schools have been established in all the leading towns and the people generally have been aroused to greater interest in public education. Contrast with the state of things un- der the radical regime succeeding the war. In 1868, 1869, 1870, the years of | republican misrule, the money report- | ed as expended on scho:. was $38,- | 981.86. In 1869 the value of school | property was nothing; republican su-| perintendent Ashley left a plan—a| very handsome but utterly useless plan | —for building school houses and that | was all. Nothing was really expended | for schools by the radicals during their | carnival of crime. The school money j Jwas used for the purpose of paying for lony-termed and frequent repabh- can legislatures most extravagant sums per diem and mileage. In 1877 $11- 515.07 were paid for school houses; in 1882-’83—'84 and "85 a total of $293,- 129.15. In 1885 the value ef schoel roper in nine counties was $565,960. 4. he school houses have:been inereased in number and quadrupled in value by. being made fit for school use. In 1885, under democratic rule—one year—the money paid for schools anmounted to $630,552.32, and in the four years of 1882-83-84 and 85 the amount was $2,296, 790.00.

This yeae is prolific in side issues de- signed by any means, fair or foul, to ead the Democratic voters away from the fold; to pursuade them that they something better to vote for outside the party which has served them so long. Reason protests in the most emphatic manner against any such ac- tion on the part of Democrats. The arguments of these side issue folks won’t hold at all, it is the merest seph- istry and has but one design in it and that is to get you to change your vote, no matter for what, just so it is not cast for the Democratic party. They think in this way to 80 weaken the Democratic vote in the State as to make it go Republican in national politics. The Atlanta Constitetion in speaking of the prospect to break the solid South, says: “The anti-saloon element in the Repub- lican party counts upon the strong prohi- bition feeling in theSouth. On this issue an attempt will be made to reorganize and rebuild the Republican party in this section. It is claimed that with the igno- rant, vicious sortion of the saloon, and the intelligent and religious portion against it; The color line will disappear and the Republican party will no longer be anegro party. Hosts of white South- erners believing prohibition to be the vital issue, are expected to join the Re- ublicans, and it will once more claim to the ‘God and morality party.’ The scheme has a good backing. It is favored by more than one-half of the Re- publican Senators, many Congressmen and party leaders, and the party in Ver- mont and Maine has officially endorsed it. There is no reason why Southern Dem- have voted the old and reliable ticket | P42 long enough, and that they can find: a In fact the autiferous area in a general way embraces neatly one-half of her territory; the productive area 18 much less, containing a lite more than twelve thousand square miles.

This is becoming a familiar subject with the readers of this paper, but they will be gratified to know that it 1s as suming a simplicity not altogether un- expected by those who have given the matter any careful thought. The Dr. Emmens proposition to build the Yad- kin Railroad may be considered as off. He has shown a dispusition to quibble for sometime and as a climax has written Theo. F. Kluttz, Esq., to the effect that it is probably best for both parties to abandon the scheme. This is nota surprise and is therefore no disappointment. The correspondence between Mr. Kluttz and Dr. Emmens will be given to the public in good time. With this affair out of the way our people naturally turn to the South Atlaatic and Northwestern Railroad, from Smithville to Bristol, and begin to scrutinize that scheme with a busi- ness eye. The way is open for this proposed line, and our people ure ready to take hold, and they like the plans of the line becanse they are based on reasonable prospects for maintenance by afreight traffic with a seaboard connection. The-line will be of great advantage to our people if built. It would mean more people, more busi- ness and cheaper freights. If we had these three things Salisbury would bea more prosperous place, and the farm- ers of Rowan would be better paid for their products.

Why live in Tenements When Broad Acres Await the Industrious. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 27th ’86. Special Correspondence Carolina Watchman. Land today in North Carolina is com- paratively cheap. But this cannot long continue. The stream of immigration that comes swelling in, added to our steadily augmenting natural increase, will soon now so occupy the available lands as to raise the price of the poorest land worth selling on to a point we have never known. Don't existing facts prove the above assertion? Nearly twenty years ago, Mr. Wade of Ohio, ina speech inthe United States Senate, predicted that by the close of the century every acre of good agricultural land inthe Union would be worth at least $50. That this prediction will be even more than verified we may already see. By theclose of the century our population, at the normal rate of increase, will be over 50 millions more than in 1880. Where will this increase in our popula- tion find room, and where will they pro- cure cheap homes? There are nonejfurther West. An advance has reached the Pacific. To the very fartherest corners of the republic settlers are already going. Where, then, will the thousands yet to come to our shores find room for comfor- table and happy homes. Let the young men of the North and West make inquiry regarding the old North State, and’ see what she offers those who desire to build up comfor- table and happy homes, instead of re- maining cooped up in large cities, the majority of whom, hold positions barely able to support them from year to year, To the investor and capitalist the State of North Carolina offers: people of the town and many in the country favor the road and they will att favorably when the time comes. There is now no competing scheme to divide the attention of the public, so that the sentiment will be as a unit in favor of this road and they may depend on the hearty ¢o-operation of the peo- ple in this section. —> <p: Mr. H. A. Helper is doing a great Aeal for North Carolina by the liberal use of his faeile pen. He is just now is- suing 25,000 eopies of a pamphlet aevoted to the attractions of the State which age for general distribution, both iff thig country and in Europe. . — SO Oe The Charlotte Evening Chrondele had to apologize for announcing the marriage of gp white couple as takiag place in “bigh colored circles.” That is simply uo- able, and the groom would be - Justified in having personal ..satisfaetion. The white Democratic editor who writes “high colored circles,” needs a Ycking farming land which can be successfully and profitably cultivated and made to produce nearly every cerial grown. The larger portion of the State enjoys a climate distinctively healthy, due both to the location and confrguration of the country. Free forthe most part, from Over fifteen millions of acres of good} per cent, and that the total value of the crops in 1870 was $2,097,000,000; so had the prices in 1880 been kept up to the same (or higher prices) as they could and should have been, the total value of the crops for that year would have been about $4,000,000,000, but as it was, they were valued at only $1,417,000,000, a loss to the farmers in that one year of $2,583,- 000,000. Here comes in the value and benefit of a farmers protective association. It is NOW a necessity. Would that our Southern farmers would study of these matters so that they may begin to‘realize the magnitude of the wrongs they are suffering simply to inflate the holdings of the usurers, the bankers, the bondholders, the mortgage holders and the receivers of fixed sala- ries. We must learn to look facts square in the face, and not struggle obstinately against inevitable necessities. AsI sit at my hotel window watching the moving masscs of humanity here there and everywhere—the young Inan full of promise and hope rushing along with the oldest and the strongest. I ask myself why so much rush for so little. Why toil at fever-heat for a few dollars to live and die at the desk and to eKe out an existence oblivious to all the grand beauties of nature offered in a State like North Carolina, where health, happiness, comfort and independence await all who may come with the right spiritand deter- mination. The perfection of the body, and health, its consequence, cannot be obtained ex- cept under conditions in harmony with the demands of our natures; therefore I nolonger wonder when I see pale faces and emaciated forms in our large cities, faces wearing expressions which seems to yearn fora garden spot from whence all the tribes of men have pro- ceeded. It is impossible to resist with impuni- ty our own individual loagings, therefore our large and compact cities must return a goodly number of her young men to the country from whence National aid, pro- gress and development receives its main support.

Cotton leaves were also killed. Mr. B. B. Young, of Jubilee, Davidson county, reports consid- erable damage to tobacco in his neigh- borhood. This is very early for killing frost in this section. The county campaign has opened with no unusual excitement. As yet no one has appeared to oppose the Democratic nominees, Mr. J. C. Bernheart, who was in the County Convention, and was, of course, bound by its action, has violated his implied obligation by announcing himself a candidate for the office of County Surveyor. Mr. B.C.

Mine owners who desire fie asaistance ofa mining engineer, who will bring a ten stamp mill with him, may find it to their interest to address A. M. Beam, M. E., Bear Postoffice, Monfgomety to/, Ark. Prof, W. E. Hidden of the Ale€ander county Emerald and -Hiddenite ‘mine, is; yet north on business connected with the mine. The exceptional finds of gem s:ones, recently reported in the CAROLINA WaACHMAN, has been the’ ion. of several volunteer offers for 0 and one-half interests in the propefty. None of these, however, have been accepted. As soon as Prof. Hidden can return to the mine, work will be re- sumed. BLUE WING COPPER. Work has been resumed at the Buck- eye copper mine, located neat Blue Wing, in Person county, under the management of Mr. C. W. Edgcumbe. The property is to be developed in depth, and for this purpose they are sinking: a work shaft, which at present is little more than 50 feet. Mr. Edgcumbe is very sanguine as to the possibilities of the Blue Wing eop- per district, and with a view. of ‘display-.|. ing, in a compact way, the richness and variety of the resources of the istrict, he will take to the State fair,:(which opens.on the 26th inst, and’ “éontinues four days,) specimens from all the’ local ities now open, and place them on ex- hibition. There will be displays of a like char- acter from other sections of the State. A HOME INVESTMENT: ~ The Isenhour Mine, belonging to the Gold Hill group, is beitig ‘worked by Messrs. M. L. and R. J. Holmes, of Salis- bury. The test of twenty tons, recently chlorinated at the Yadkin Chlorination Works, near Salisbury, has been the signal for activity at the Isenhour. These gentlemen have gone regularly to work extracting the ore, which is an aurifer- ous sulphide, and they intend paying more attention to the concentration. They need a reliable concentrator for this purpose. The concentrating of the test lot was but crudely done. The ore will bear reducing four or five in one and is then in prime condition for the final extraction of the metal. ‘There is one| point worth attending to in connection with this development of the Isenhour, and that is, that it is entirely a home enterprise, i.e. the eapital invested is} North Carolina money, and and it is being operated by North Carolinians. This is significant in that it shows a con- fidence on the part of home capital in our mines, and that home capital is finding in mining a profitable field for safe invest- ment. This point should not fail to attract the attention of capitalists, both in America and abroad, since it isan evidence of the worth of the deposits and a faithful witness of the confidence our own people have in the development of the State’s mines. These gentlemen are not novices in mining, but have hada large experience in mining in this State, and both have become men of large means from this source. NO SMELTING WORKS. °* It is now understood that the scheme for building smelting works in Rowan is at a stand still, if indeed, it is not Sot Why so? That is a question not within the power of the writer to answer. The facts, as stated in this paper some time ago were given as coming from Dr. Emmens, and with his consent, and there is no doubt but that those associated with him here had confidence in his statements. The scheme was entirely feasible and that is why so much promi- nence was given it. The ores are abun- dant and the situation—in the heart of the district—all that could be desired, hence there is some disappointment in the failure. This disappointment arises from the fact that a proposition to erect such works has been given to the public, and a failure to build may injure the the locality in the supposition that the material was not there. This, of course, is not the case. A thoroughly competent man with a practical understanding ofsmelting could find no better field of labor than in North Carolina, with a single exception, and that is as regards a proper lead ore. This would have to be brought here, as the local lead ores aré too strongly impregnated with zinc and other impu- rities to be entirely suitable for smelting purposes. But all the rest is here and in abundance. Works such as are in operation at Freisbery, Saxony, are about what is needed in this State. The products obtained there are: metal alloys; silver, gold, lead (pig and assay- ing), zinc, bismuth, arsenic, platinum, hard lead, tin lead; acids and salts; copper arsenious acid, sulphuric acid, sulphides of arsenic (red and yellow) iron sulphate, white arsenic, glass amd ziric oxides Works which are capable of extracting these varied products ought to pay in North Carolina. ‘ ee oe New Advertisements.

In public morality the female mind is unconscionsly unscrupulous; it is seldom very frank or honest, and it would burn down a temple to warm its own pannikin. Women of perfect honesty of intentions and antecedents will adopt a dishonest course if they think it will serve an aim or a person they care for, with a headlong and cyni- cal completeness which leave men far behind it. In intrigue a man will often have scruples which the woman throws aside as carelessly as if they were cob- webs, if once her passions or her jeal- ousies ure involved. There is not much veracity anywhere in human nature, but it may be always roughly caleula- ted that the man will be more truth- ful than the woman in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred; his judgments will be less cqlored by personal wishes and emotions, avd his instincts toward justice will be straighter and_ less mobile than hers. Were women ac- mitted into public life bribery would become a still greater factor in that life than it now is, which is needless. All the world over, what is wanted for the health of nations the moral purifi- cation of polities, the elimination of venal and personal views, the disinter- ested advocacy and adoption of broad, just and magnanimous principles of action. Can it be said the entry of women into politics would have this effect? He must be a sanguine man who can think that it would, and he nust have but little knowledge of wo- nen.

Grafting is a very simple operation for any light person with mechanical ingenuity enough to whittle a cider tap that wil fill a smooth round hole, or who can sharpen a jack-knife to a good edge. The tools needed are a fine saw, astrong knife amd hammer for splitting the stock, a keen edged knife for shaping the scions, and some graft- ing wax for covering the cut surfaces to keep out air and water till the parts have had time to unite and heal over. For wax there is probably nothing better than that recently recommended in the New England Farmer, the for- mula being 44 pounds white resin, one pound pure beeswax and one pint lin- seed oil, all to be melted together, and after cooling in cold water to be work- ed to a uniform consistency. Tying small paper bags over the bunches of grapes, when they are yery small, will not only protect them from rot bat also insure a better flavored and more nicely ripened fruit. For mildew on grape vines dust on flower of | sul- phur, either early in the morning while the dew is on, or after a shower while the foilage is wet. Tor the grape vine beetle shaking the vine early in_ the morning will bring them to the ground, when they can very readily be destroy- ed. Spreadiirg a piece of cloth or pees under the vines will wid materially in catching them. Slackened lime sprink- led over the foilage will destroy the larvee. Col. F. D.

He was a sceptic and he Was practical. — His wife was a help meet in the highest sense. ‘They were very poor at the beginning of their marriage life. The wife kept his shop, sewed pamphlets, bought rags, folded newspapers, &c. | She was very saving and orderly. He was often clad in gerinents she had woven and quade, They lived for vears after they were married in the cheapest, plainest. way. Their breakfast was bread and milk, and they eat out of an earthern dish that cost 4 cents, using pewter spoons. They prospered, and the time came when Franklin next to Washington, was about the most influential, and one of the greatest men in America. Here is a lesson for people just starting in life.

As ennounced in vesterday morning's Tribune a railroad meeting was held yesterday at Unaka, N.C. Mayor-J. C. Luttrell and general R. N. Hood Hleft Knoxville at auht o'clock vester- hday morning and found an ofierl! eww of the Richmond and Danvi le railroad awaiting them at Unaka. The official ear brought Col. A. B. Andrews, presi- dent of the Western North Carolina Rarlroad and vice-president of the iichmond and Danville and Western North Carolina. The meeting at once proceeded to business. The object of the mecting was to complete the organi- zation of tne French Broad railway company which was chartered a few weeks azo under the laws of Tennessee. Lhe capital stock was fixed at one miilion doliars and the line to be built from Knoxville to Unaka will be about seventy-tive miles in length. Lae orgamzation of the company was completed yesterday by the elec- tion of the following directors: Col. A. B. Andrews, of Raleigh, president of the Western North Caro- lina railroad, and vice-president of the Richmond and Denville railroad. Col. Frank Coxe, of Asheville, vice- president of the Western North Caro- lina railruad, and prop ietor of the new Battery Park Hotel, of Asheville. J. ki. Rankin, of Asheville, a banker and a stockholder in the Richmond and Danville. 5. If. Wiley, of Salisbury, a banker and stockholder in the Richmond and Danville. W. i. Anderson, of Raleigh, presi- dent of the National Bank, of that city, anda stockholder of the Rich- mond and Danville. Gel. Lk. N. Hood, of Knoxville, president of the Knoxville and Augus- ta railroad, which road is owned by the Richmond and Danville. Captain H. H. Taylor, of Knoxville, attorney and counsellor at-law. The directors met immediately and organized by electing Col. A. B. An- drews, President. 5. H. Wiley was mide Secretary of the meeting. It was ordered that the books be opened at once to receive stock sub- scriptions. ALajor J. W. Wilson, of Morganton, N. €., whois chief engineer of the Richmond and Danville railroad sys- tem was elected chief engineer of the French Broad railroad. The clief engineer was ordered to immediately organize an engineering corps and to proceed without delay to survey the route from Unaka to Knox- ville. Preliminary surveys will be made of two routes from Unaka to Knoxville, one via. Sevierville through Sevier county and the other via Dandridge through Jefferson county. The engin- eers will begin their work within ten days, beginning at Unaka. Major will visit Knoxville before beginning the survey and the direc- tors will make atrip to this city ina few weeks. The capital stock of the French Broad railroad, one million dollars, will nearly all be subscribed by John H. Inman, of New York and other stock- holders in the Richmond and Danville, such gentlemen as were yesterday elec- ted directors for the new road. Kno- ville will be called upon to subscribe $200,000 or ¢300,000 of the stock and Knox, Sevier, Jefferson and Cockd | | | | { counties will be expected to subscribe liberally. . The road will probably be bonded for $10,000, per mile. It is calculated that the cost of the seventy-four niles from Unaka to Knoxville will reaeh about $1,750,000. Nothing is included for rolling stock and it is expected that the Richmond and Danville will oper- ate the new road when completed. While the new road will be construe- ted as the French Broad railway it is practically an extension of th-*Rich- mond and Danville system to Knox- ville. It is well known that the Rich- mord tnd Danville owns the Western North Carolina road and also the Knoxville and Augusta road and that the French Broad, which wilt be the link connecting the two will be built chiefly by stockholders of the Rich- mond and Danville. Kms Fink, « pup here singe. the | - Mayor Luttrell and General Hood : ;retfirned to ity las icht, | Opeuing of the present session: jrettined to the city last night, both highly elated at the prospect of soon having ander way a new railroad for Knoxville. Both these gentlemen have been laboring faithfully to bring about this result, and for their earnest. efforts they deserve the gratitude of our citi- zeus. Both have been hopeful from the beginning, even when everybody else doubted that the road would be built. We had a talk with Mayor Luttrell last night after his return from Unaka. He was highly pleased with the cordial manner in which he and Gen. Hood were met by the Richmond and Dan- ville officials and says that he never meta more courteous party of gentle- men. He is confident that they mean business. Mayor Luttreil, who has at no time lost faith in the elterprise. says he has no doubt the road will now be built without delay. He has been in correspondence with officials of both the Richmond and Danville Louisville and Nashville roads and thinks there is no doubt that it is the intention of these two great systems to meet at Knoxville-—Anorcville, Tenn., Tribune. ee K. cf L. and Sccial Equality. As we pointed out yesterday, Mr. Powderly chose the only colored dele- gate from the big assembly No. 49, of New York city, to intreduce him to the Knights at Richmond. — This colored delegate said in his speech that, “one of the objects of the order” (of Knights vt Labor) “is the abolition of those distinctions which are maintained by ereed or color. I believe,” he continued, “[ present to you a man above the superstitions which are involved in these distinctions. My experience with the noble order of the Knights of Labor and my training in my district have taught me that we have worked so far successfully toward the extine- tion of these regretable distinctions. What do the white Knight of Labor in the South think of these sentiments ? —-Vews-Cbserver. And that paper farther comments, as follows. The civil rights feature of the Kuights of Labor assembly at Rich- mond is rather a nauseous dose to be put to the lips of the southern work- ingman. It cannot be swallowed. The southern Knight is not yet exactly prepared to place himself on a plane of exact equality in all respects with the negro, simply because the latter is a fellow-workman. The Anglo-Saxon blood rebels against any such notion as that. So far the rela- tions between the races in the South have been all that could be desired. The negro has had all the rigits to which he is entitled under the law, and yet there has been a place for him and a place for the white man, though the latter may have been a laborer of the lowest order. The feeling between the two races has been better here than in any other section of the country. — If strife is now to be stirred up between the two elements through the order of the Knights of Labor, it is going to be bad for the order. The Richmond State says: “The people of the South have kindly feel- ings for the colored race and here the colored man has equal rights wich the whites in courts of law and at the ballot-box. © Equality cf citizenship is but social equality the whites refuse to tolerate in any form. Seusible and self-respecting colored men do not seek todo violence to these feelings, nor have they any desire to obtrude them- selves where they are not wanted. Now lowis found who is eager to have at least the appearance of enjoying a social equality that never can be and never should be his. Whites have so little sense and so little decency as to aid or abet him in such offensive capers can hardly be expected to keep the respect of the people of their own race, who are willing always to do justice tothe colored people, but who demand that their own inherent and ineradicable feelings on the race ques- tion shall not be rudely insulted. The course of the New York assembly which has attempted to dictate that the pablic houses of Richmond shall be conducted in a manner most objec- tionable to a large body of their customers will hardly receive the un- animous approval of the Kuights of Labor of tis city.” It will hardly receive the approval of any Southern Knights, we believe. It is well, though, that our peonle and the ! unhesitatingly recogmized by the whites, | and then, however, some impudent fel- | who!S should be warned in time of the new , and vile use to which the Knights of; Lxbor organization is to be put, that is to say if the Southern Knights will consent thus to be used. Wi We don't believe it. Items About the State Fair. * AWAY. This is no catch trap, but it is true as gospel. Six thousand dollars is now offered to the énterprising farmers, urechanics, manufacturers, ladies and children of North Carolina. This offer is made jointly by the State Agricult- ural Somety of whom W. G. Upchurch is President and John Nichols, Secre- tary, and the State Agricultural Board, Gov. Alfred M. Scales, as Chairman, | and Peter M. Wilson, Secretary. Now | this offer is bona fide, and if your readers make an exhibit, they may depend on getting their money. — Pre- miunis are offered on cotton, as much us $50; tobacco, $40 for ten pounds; corn, $50 ; wheat, $59 ; oats, $50 ; rye, #20 ; rice, $20. The above are not the only premiums on the above crops, but _We only mention a few to show that it will pay the farmers to show their products. | Handsome sums are given call ladies work of every kind, both i fancy orm unental and useful; preserves pickles, jellies, &c. But we can’t take | up space in telli.g of them. — Best ‘plan is to send to the Secretary at Kaleigh for a premium list. Those who enjoy fine trials of speed will nuss a great treat if they stay away from the coming State Fair. The premiums in this department are large enough to induce the fastest horses in the country to come. The rates to the Fair are very low, less than ever offered heretofore. The Northern-born Citizens Conven- tion will draw many visitors from the Northern States. All people of North- ern birth and their families will be entitled to special low rates, to obtain which they will have to apply to the Commissioner of Immigration, Mr. John T. Patrick, Raleigh, N.C. It matters not, if they have been residents of the State forty or more years, they can get the reduced rates on applicution, showing to the Comimis- sioner that they are actually entitled to same. Many valuable premiums are offered to ladies. The display that North Carolina had at Boston and New Orleans will be on exhibition at the coming Fair, it will be worth more than the charges to see that. The theatres will be occupied each night during Fair by a first-class troupe of actors. : ees eee Death of i'r. R. F. Hackett. Dr. R. F. Hackett died at his home in| Wilkesboro at an early hour Tues- day morning. He had been in failing health for eighteen months, and it was known that his days were numbered, and yet his death was sudden. Up to avery short time before its occurrence he was not sapposed to have been worse than he had heen for weeks be- fore, andthe announcement that he was dead was a surprise to the commu- nity. He died of heart disease and dropsy. Dr. Hackett was one of the Senators for Iredell, Alexander and Wilkes, and his sickness dated from the last session of the General Assembly. He was never well after his return from Raleigh in the spring of 1885. The death of this gentleman calls for inore than a_ passing notice. In his county, in all this section, there is no man of larger intelligence, of a greater degree of public spirit or of a loftier churacter. He is foremost in every movement which had for its ob- ject the advancement of the general welfare, and was in all matters a liber- il, broad-minded man. In bis death his county and the State have lost a son who will be missed for many years to come. Dr. Hackett was a member of the Methodist church, and adorned in his daily life the doctrines which he protessed.—Statesville Land- mark. yn -_ Davis on Sherman. In the Baltimore Sun of Friday last is a five column reply of Hon. Jefferson Davis to Gen. Sherman’s assaults on his character and public record. It will be remembered that Sherman, in a }speech some time in 1884, to the "Frank DP. Blair Post, G. A. R.,” charg- ed that Davis was never a_ secessionist, but a conspirator; and that he had seen a letter written by him to a man (then in the U.S. Senate wherein he ‘threatened to use the foree of the ,Confederacy aguinst any Southern ‘State that attempted ta secede from the Contederacy. Mr. Davis promptly denied ever having written such a letter, and denounced Sherman as a base slanderer uniess he produced the letter. Sherman failed to produce the letter, bat his statement was finally called fur by the U.S. Senate with a view of filing it as an executive document in the War Department. This turn of the matter has brought forth the reply fron Mr. Davis, which is pointed, clear, forcible and literally peals the hide off the old * bummer.’—Newbern News. “Ob, mamma, mammi!” said a Little girl, the other day, as she saw a chicken without any feathers on its tail, “dat old hen has lost the ribbons out of her polonaise.” ‘knows all the advan {Ww SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE GIVEN . negroes, is a coward, a traitor, a crank, | County Government.

TED <b aa Fatal Accident to a Hunter. On Friday morning last, Mr. Tate Culbertson, a young man about 18 jents, in this county, left his home ‘about three o'clock, taking his two dogs, coon hunting, telling the family he would return after breakfast. As he did not return during the day search was made for him by Ins friends but to no effect. The neighbors were notified of the missing young man and all went out in search of him. At last the father cemembering that the dogs were with him sounded the hunter's horn, and the dogs immediately answer- ed. When found he was lying near a large tree, which had been cut down, with his shoes and coat off. The neighbors came clearly to the conclu- sion that his dogs had treed a coon, and ‘that young Culbertson had taken off his apparel to climb the tree and run off the coon; but failing in this he cut down the tree. which fell upon him and it is supposed killed him instantly. — McDowell Bugle. ee eee Along the Railroad.

Writing about it apparently does no good. Boys who smoke cigareetes do not deny that it is a bad cad injurious habit, and do not defend it, but they go on smoking their lives away all the same. Parents, too, in instances, have lost their influence and control, or have become resigned to the ruinous prac- tice; and the consequence isan un- limited indulgence and the spread of the habit by contact and association. Something should be done to stem this growing evil. The State, which has a paramount interest in the moral and physical welfare of her youth, should countenance and authorize any enlightened policy for its correction. The days of “Blue Laws” are long since past, and while laws and ordin- ances looking to the inculeation of right habits and the suppression of vice among the young—measures which the intelligent judgment of the com- munity might conscientiously approve —could not properly be classed with the “Blue Law,” still the principle of coercion necessarily embodied in such measures might wholly defeat their object. Human nature is human na- ture, and is the same the world over and through all time, and while it may be restrained, it caniiot be wholly changed or reformed by the rigid opera- tion of repressive laws. Parely. re- formatory means should be employed. The public schools, if properly direc- ted to that end, might be relied upon to eradicate it to a considerable extent. Certainly boys should not be allowed to smoke cigarettes while attending the public schools, and right indwce- ments toward a permanent abanden- ment of the habit should never fait to be used, not only in schools, but in shops, offices, stores, factories, and wherever else boys are employed. Core- petetive premiums for total abstinence might be offered by the city school authorities, or by regularly constitu- ted reformatory societies.— Richmond Whig. ee The Innocent Fistol.

Which do yon want? It is confidently expected that your tax will soon be re- duced to 20 cts. Good democratic rule has made the present reduction and will make a further one, Has your democratic legislature then done nothing for you, when it has re- moved more than two thirds of your tax burden? Answer the question. Dem. Ex-CoMMITTEE. Democratic at Washington. Having elected a president and kept control of the lower-house of Congress at the election of 1884 the democratic party, at its first plunge toward re- form, reduced national expenses $17,- 743,796.60 for the next year. For the following year this there was a re- duction of $24,243,795.00. Jor the first two years of Democratic National rule then, we havea tlear saving to the people of $4£1,987,592.00 over the rates of Republican rule, or more than one-fourth of the assessed value of the entire State of North Carolina. Do you want Democrats or Republi- eans at Washington ? The Great Railroad Companies in Western States have been, under re- pubhean rule, granted immense tracts of land which belonged to the United States. These grants were conditional and the Railroads failed to comply with the conditions upon which the lands were granted to them. So, the democrats have turned their attention to getting these forfeited lands back. See how much they have accomplished in a short space of time. In three years under Demceratic supremacy in the House the acres thus reclaimed amounted to 50,482,240. This | territory thus embraced is larger than the State of North Oarolina—amount- | ing to 78.878 square miles. | -In addition to this the Demoeratie | House of Representatives at the ha session passed bills forfeiting 3.843.004 | acres which the Senate has not yet | concurred in. There are also on the | calendar of the House, with favorable reports from committees, bills forfeit- ing 13,067,214 acres more, which will | be passed at the next session. That is to say, a territory equal in| size to Virginia and North Carolina | and South Carolina will have been | saved to the people when all the bills} have passed.

Beautiful Bird Without a Name. | | Is the title of a volume which we are indebted to an authoress, Miss Belle Peterson, of Ky. Phe lady is a native of North itself, would give her strong claims upon our partial consideration of her work. | But. over and above the claim, she is a lady of culture and genius, with fine im- agination and strong powers of descrip- tion. The scene of this, her fourth work, is laid in Kentneky, the land of brave men and beautiful women, the land of tradition and of daring deed, the land that fires the imagination and inspires the poet or the writer of fiction, the land that can furnish living models of the hero or heroine, or can draw upon the rich stores of historie treasures with its wealth of pioneers, Warriors, statesmen and orators. Miss Peterson, herself, is a descendent of the great Daniel Boone, the most striking example of Kentucky char- acter. Her lineage is voucher for her own intellectual character. We hope she will be rewarded here by proper recognition of her merits, and find among the people of the land of her nativity the fit reward of intellectual | labor. —s | | THE BREATH of achroniccatarrh patientis | often so Offensive that he cannot go into society \ and he becomes an object of disgust.

Mexsrs Editors :—The farmers of Steele are far behind in breaking clover sod for wheat this fall, and we are beginning to fear that there will be only a small amount of clover land put in condition for seeding in time to insure a good crop. Our land is heavy red soil with firm sub- soil and can be broken only when moist- ened by rain, then we use 2 and 3 horse plows. As we depend on clover land for our main wheat crop and the fall drouths are becoming so common we will have to get other plows, such as will break the Jand when dry and hard and of such draught as not to hurt our stock. Upland corn is good and cotton is medium, some being sold at moderate prices. Very little tobacco planted this jyear. We paid Unity a flying visit this ; week, saw some tobacco killed by the frost. Some of the farmers say that 4 of the crop is ruined. Took dinner with your old correspondent Clod Knocker. Clod is an old tobacco raiser. He says the crop was a half failure before the frost, since the frost it is a perfect one, he says it is hard to cure bright and = has no weight or body. Steele is far ahead in clover seed and The | | the crop is not all threshed out yet. Cor- | rell & Co. have gone to Iredell to thresh ; some large crops for Esq.

K. BRUNER, EDITOR.; Mining in Mecklenburg. At the Henderson miné, in “Mecklen- burg county, two bodies of ore have been cut—one long known, but so refractory as to have been avoided, and one new body of brown ore. Both bodies are quite wide, and, so far as explored, quite ex- tensive and of more than ordinary grade. A tenstamp mill is nearly ready here, and the underground works are pushed vigorously, both in depth and in length. THE RUDISIL DEVELOPMENT. The work at the Rudisil mine, also in Mecklenburg county, has been pushed considerably farthér to the south, i.e. further in the south extension of the vein, and with encouraging results. Both mill- ing and concentrating material is obtain- ed. The work here is conducted very systematically and quietly, and (the writer is not fully informed on this point) apparently the result is satisfactory. The steady work here is. beginning to tell, just as it has done at the St. Cathe- rine mine. It will eventually be found that the resources of the Rudisil are not one-whit behind that mine. The two Embry Tables for concentrating have given the best results, and several par- ties who have seen them at work have expressed an intention to introduce them at other mines. THE RELIABLE ST. CATHERINE. The St. Catherine may be called the leading mine in Mecklenburg county. No change of importance has taken place recently in the operations. ‘The work is very systematic, and the production steady. What better record could any mine have, especially when it is added that the management is competent and economical. The deep shaft is now being sunk be-! low the 370 foot level, and has reached the depth of 422 feet. A new body of ore, entirely unexpected, has been cut, and adds materially to the resources of the mine. The systematic cross cutting has already brought to light several un- expected ore bodies. The work is in the best of shape, and one if not two years reserves of ore are now at hand, LESSER OPERATIONS, The small mining about the town of Charlotte, or immediate vicinage, is larg- er than at any time in five years, and is possibly adding not less than $1.000 per month tothe circulation. This repre- sents labor which would otherwise lost. be Quiet negotiations are in progress res- pecting several mines. What will result is as yet hardly more than a matter of But altogether, the out-look in Mecklenburg is bright, not only as to conjecture. the sale of mining property, but in the more practical side of the mining prob- lem. There is much activity; there is competent management and there are fair returns for labor and capital invested. This, then, is a good report. IN HENDERSON COUNTY.

It is reported that a deposit of precious stones of thg rare kind known as ‘‘yolden beryl” has recently been found in the “Berkshire Hills.” This is called a “new gem,” by the chronicler of the find. He should have added, a new gem for Mass. Golden bery] has long been known among the North Carolina gem stones, and is quite abundant in some of the counties in the western part of the State. Prof. Kuntz, of New York, pronounces the Mass. beryls of rare purity, and Prof. Dana, of Yale College, is also reported as pronouncing the crystals the finest ever seen by him. It appears from this excep- tionally good testimony that the golden beryls fonnd in Mass. are freer from the | flaws and ‘feathers, which are common to the beryl wherever found, than usual, If this be true, then the value of the find, for gem purposes, is greatly enhanced.

Don't giveasarcason for not subscribing to your local paper that you take the New York Herald, World, Times, Tribune or Sun, or the Philadelphia Z'umes er Press, or Le a- isville Courier-Journal, or Atlanta Constiiu- tion, from which you get your State news and are willing to depend on hearing your county news by word of mouth —Dandbury Reporter Post. ; Well taken. The papers are very wisely urging the people of North Carolina to keep their money at home and patronize the, home merchants. By allmeans. It is the| duty of good citizenship as far as possible | to buy clothing, household goods, and other things at home. Do not send your meney North to build up enterprises that | cannot possibly aid your own town, Pat-j ronize your own secticn and yourown town, Potronize deserving, prompt, reliable home mechanics of all Kiuds ratuer than import others, orsend to the North to have work | done, And do not be mean enouzh to pat- | ronize newspapers in other sections because | they are a little bigger and more sensation- | al, and overflowing with crime and _ salaci- ous descrptions and all manner of dcbauch- cries. When did yon ever see the interests of your villiage, town, neizhborhond, county, State vr sections louked after by “big pa- pers?” Let one hundred and fifty papers of North Carolina stop publicatian to-day, and let there be no papers to take their place for five years and what a blank there would be. The news of the State would be lost to you. The industrial progress would be lost sight of, and decay and retrogression would set in inevitably. The Worlds and Timeses and Heralds cangot possibly supply to you what home papers can furnish how- ever full of enterprise and gush and ability the “big papers” may be. So home papers are indispensable. They are the friends of liberty and honest gov- ernment. They are the pioneers of enter- prise and the earnest advocates of prceress and development, They are the watchmen on allthe towers of a nation’s citadel. They are the conservators of communities, and the guardians of law and order. No crime, no criminal, no conspiracy, no combi- nations can withstand the united assault ofa free press. Then whatever be your de- termination in the matter of retrecnhment do not let it begin with your county news- paper.

An Interesting Article From Bill Arp. Pulling fodder looks like a hard busi- ness. My tenants get to the tield early while the grass and the weeds and the morning glory vines are all wet with dew, and the ground is all sticky with moisture. They are soon wet up to their knees, and their pants flop around their ankles and the dewdrops fall in their sleeves, but they don’t seem to mind it. By and by as the sun mounts up over them the dew disappears, and the sultry heat comes down and there is no chance for a breeze in the low ground corn, but still they pull away, and talk and laugh as merry as if they were having a frolic. Then they have to tie it up and carry it through long rows to the end of the field, and the big pile of twenty or thirty bundles is all over their heads and shoulders, and they go bumping along among the corn-stalks and get the trash all down their necks and in their eyes, but still they don't mind it, and brag how many bundles they carried and never dropped nary one. ‘There is something mighty cheerful about willing labor, toil that is con- tented—sweat that is no curse. I couldn't pull fodder if I was willing, but Iam not willing. If I had a step- ladder and a boy to tote it from stock to stock and there was no dew and the sun was behind a cloud, | might ven- ture ashort row. Being willing is the great thing about labor. Being willing is the secret of success in any- thing. I heard an old man say that any man could stop drinking whiskey or chewing tobacco if he was willing. He must get his own consent the first thing and then it is easy to do. It is a man’s nature to work up ex- actly to his tension. His task must be done. Pulling fodder is disagreeable, but the farmer's mind has been worked up to that for years, and so it is all night. It is part of his business. We all string up our nerves and our will to the tension of our condition, our necessi- ties. It is like turning the screw of a violin to get the strings up to the chord. When they slacken they won't play in harmony and we must tighten the tension again. Dr. Felton lives two miles from town, and I live five, and my nabor Weems lives ten. The doctor's road is just as long to him as mine is to me or as the ten mies is to nabor Weems. We have all got used to the task, the journey, and screwed our fiddles up that tension, but I would get awful tired if I had to go as far as Weems, and Dr. Felton wouldn't live where I do for anything. The doctor is sorry for me, and | am sorry for Weems, and he is sorry for somebody beyond him, but our sympathy is wast- ed in this world, but it shows a good heart to have it. As the burden is, so the strength shall be. If labor is re- warded it is all right. Rowland says he don’t mind pulling fodder at all if it don't get wet and spoil in curing. Yontentment is what we all want, and the poor man can be as contented as the rich one if his labor is rewarded—a reasonable reward. Then it is willing labor. The watchman goes on duty willingly at midnight. The doctor hears the door bell ring willingly when deep sleep has possessed him on a cold and stormy night. The night editor of the daily paper is aslave to the lamp. Every true man will screw his courage up to the sticking point if the reward is in sight. = Kerosene Oil!

A BRILLIANT DISPLAY Witnessed at Bordeaux in 1885—The Rain of Falling Stars in 1883 and 137z— A Splendid Spectacle, Nothing More. (Written for the Baultlnore American). As the season is approaching at which we may expect the annual meteoric displays, [am reminded of the brillant spectacle which I had the pleasure of witnessing at Bordeaux, on the night of the 27th of November, 1885. The phe- nomenon cominenced at sunset, and the number of meteors visible in the northeast portions of the heavens continued rapidly increasing; soon they became so numerous that I had great diffi- culty in counting them. At times darting in bunches trom the same potnt in the heavens, they formed veritable gesbes of rockets. The phenomenon attained its maximum of splendor about 6.30 or 7 p.m. From that time the num- ber of shooting aud falling stars progressively diminished, and when at 10.30 the moon rose, drowning the lesser stars in her tlood of light, the shooting stars were already much less nu- merous, and the phenomenon probably ceased afterwards. The observationa taken in Bordeaux were repeated in different parts of England, in Germany, and large parts of South- western France; on the borders of Provence, in Italy, in Greece, and even in Persia; in short. in all countries favored with a clear sky. Every where the phenomenon exhibited the same char- acteristics, remarkable tor the large proportion of exceedingly brilliant stars. nearly all white, and leaving behind them a long. orange trail, which lasted several seconds, the apparent ve- locity of the meteors was slight, and their tra- jectory, at times, short; some seemed scarcely to move. All these stars seemed to diverge from a point in the heavens situated iu the triangle formed by the constellations of Perseus, Andromeda and Cassiopceea. They darted in bunches or ger- bes, as if a handful of meteoric stones had at that moment been flung into our atmosphere. They were not isolated, like the shooting stars one may see almost any moonless night falling at the rate of three or tour per hour. Showers of falling stars are not ao very rare phenomenon. There is on record a meteoric rain, observed in America by Humbolt and Bon- pland, the mourning of the L2th November, 17y9. The rain lasted four hours, during which time thousands of stars started from the constella- tion of Leo, shooting towards the south. soon THE RAIN OF FALLING STARS of November 12-13, 1833, is still present in the recollections of some of us, and certainly no one has forgotten the remarkable abundance of these meteors during the nights of the 12th aid 1sth of November of the years comprised between 1x65 and 1869. The almost unexpected shower of the 27tu November, 1872, seems an incident of but a few months back, so vivid ure the re- collections which we preserve of that grand y awful display. It was to this shower tiat al- mostevery oue involuntarily compared the phe- nomenon which we witnessed at Borieaux last year. The falling stars of November 27, 1872, were observed in the greater partof Southern France homediately after nightfall. At Bordeaux, says M. Legpisult, the dispiay had already commenc- ed before night. Between 6 and 7 p.m. it was at its height of splendor. The :ky beins very clear, even the faintest metcors were v sible; their number was estimated at one hund-ed per minute. Almost all the stars were whit-. bril- liant and dull. Many of them left trai @ which remained distinguishable tor a consid -rable length of time. A large number of the meteors were simultaneous, and the origin of their sev- eral trajectories formed a polygon whose cen- tral poiut was constantly very uear Gamma of Andromeda. Avignon, M. Giraud, and the stu- dents of the Normal School counted 12 shoot- ing stars in five minutes. At Moncalieri (Tu- rin) the Rev. Father Denza and three of his assistants counted 33,400 in six hours and a half—from 6 p. m. to 12.30. At Naples, M. A. de Gasparis estimated the number of meteors to be, at least, two per second. Herr Heiss, at - simple geometrical process, may be ascertained the real direction which the bodies constituting the Hight follow through space, the direction of the tangent at the point at which the earth in- tersects the orbit. If to this primary fact we are enabled to adda cognizance of the exact velocity of these bodies, or a cognizance of the duration of their revolution, we have all the data requisite for calculating the elements of the orbit which the ensemble of corpuscules de- scribes around the sun. MANY FLIGHTS have a well-known periodicity. That of the one of the 12th and 13th of November, observed in 1766, 1799, 1833 and 1857, is 33} years. Signor Schiaparelli has, therefore. been enabled to cal- culate its orbit, which is identical with that of the periodical comet of Tempel (1866). This coincidence, and the certain relation of the shooting stars of the 10th and 11th of August (St. Lawrence's Tears, as they are called in France) with the comet of 1862. compel the ad- Missiou today that flights of shooting stars are all in relation with comets: that they form part of these comets. or are, at the very least, iinme- diately dependent upon their movements. When, ther-fore, the earth, in its annual ; Movement, intersects the orbit of a comet, o , comes into the immediate vicinity of one of these orbits, a shower of shooting stars may be expe t d. | Fouowing precisely the-e priaciples. Herr Gaile, director of the Observatory of Breslau, having remarked that in November, 1872, Biela’s comet woull pass close to the earth, predicted, without hesitation, that a rain of shooting stars would occur at that period. We have sven that the prediction was completely Verified. A3 soon as tie shooting stars of 1872 made their appearance in the heavens, Prof. Klinkerfues telegraphed to Madras recommend- ing that search be instituted for a comet in the portion of the heavens opposite to that from which the meteors penetrated our atmosphere. Mr. Payson actually discovered in that region a comet with a rapid movement, which, in all probability, was one of the two fragments of Biela’s comet. Now, since the observations of 1885 have demonstrated that the shooting stars of No- vember 27, appearing at the date predicted by Prof. Zenker and M. R. Copeland, had a period of thirteen yeara, equal to two and a halt times the duration of the revolution of Biela’s comet (six years anda half), there can be no longer any doubt as to the connection of this singular comet with the magnificent phenomenon of Which we were spectators on the 27th of No- vember last. As to the disasters which might result from a collision of the earth with a com- etary mass, we have seen of what they consist: a splendid spectable. Carr. W. M. Witey. — a e+ ce The Great Storm. SABINE PASS, TEXAS. IS WASHED OUT oF EXISTENCE BY AN OVERFLOW OF SABINE RIVER-—SIXTY-FIVE LIVES LOST—THE DAMAGE TO CROPS, CATTLE, HOUSES, FTC., ESTIMATED AT $230,000. New Orvezans, Oct. 14.—The town of Sabine Pass was totally destroyed by the overtlowing of the Sabine river last night. It is known that 65 lives were lost. Last night during the overflow a hotel containing fifteen or twenty per- sons was swept out into the bay, and all the occupants were drowned. The captain of a schooner from there today says that not a house is left in the whole country, and that every living being there was drowned. A party of men came from Beau- mont this evening onthe train with the intention of joining the people o Orange and going down to Sabine Pas with a relief boat. New Orleans, Oct. 14.--A_ special from Port Eides to the Times Demo- erat says: “The total extent of damage occasioned by the late storm is no! known, but it has been wides pread from the jetties to Pointe a la Hacha. The wind had been fresh Saturday night. and was blowing hard all day Sunday. and on Monday increased to a hurri- cane. There were 2} feet of water in Port Eades, and the east side of the jetties. Here is situated a great con- crete wall extending from the inne: reef to the end of the works, which is intended to prevent the waves of the gulf from washing sand in the chan- nel. It is nearly parallel to and dis- tant about 200 yards from the jetties proper. Timmense blocks of coucrete had been moulded in boxes measured in solid contents 8 feet by 10 feet and weighed many tons apiece. A house hud also been built where the cement was stored for the concrete blocks. Some idea of the terrific foree of the gale and the pounding of the sea can be arrived at when itis known that these heavy blocks were lifted out of position and swallowed up under the sea. Others were stood upon end, and others twisted out of place, caus- ing considerable damage. The bulk- head that is being built between this wall and the jetties proper was en- tirely submerged, and the waters rolled over it from end toend. The building Was swept away, not a vestige having Munster, placed the hourly number at 2,500. In England, Germany and Norway the phenomena exhibited the same intensity and the same gen- eral features. All observers agree in placing the radiant point towards Gamma of Androme- | da, at 23° right ascension, and 42° north decli- nation. The display of 18723 was similar, then, in all respects to that of 1885. 3TAR RAINS would be, however, only amusing phenomena, if we were not able today, thanks to the labors of Sig. Schiuparelli and M. Verrier, to assign a cause to them and predict a return. Inthe first place, the tact of the existence of a center of } radiation—of the divergence of all the trajec- tories at starting from a determined point, a divergence which is the resultof a pheuomenon of perspectire analogous to that which causes , parallel lines of trees to start trom the sane | point of view—proves that the cusenible of the | corpuscules which, in consequence of their ig- nition in our atmosphere, appear in the form of shooting stars. furmsin space a flight of anima- ted bodies of equal and parallel velocity. They constitute, then, an ensemble, and, like all , celestial bodies, must necessarily move around | the sun in an elliptical or parabilieal orbit, af- ! ter the manner of planets or comets. When, in its annual revolution around the sun, the earth encounters one of these flights when it finds itself in the midst of the corpus- cules which comp<s: it, the direction whence these bodies seem tu come, the direction of the radiant point, results from the combination of the earth’s own velocity of the meteors. The direction and rate of the earth’s velocity are unknown; the rate, at least, of that of the metecore ia easy t> calculate. Therefore, by a | \ been left to mark the spot where it stood. The pank road that served Port Eades as a public street. floated off and became debris among the white caps. The water continued to rise Monday, and reached the first floor of several houses. This created general alarm and many persons left their homes, taking refuge in the hotel at Eadesport. The narrow neck of land between the bank and sea marsh, bordering the bays and gulf, was completely under |; Water, which, in some places was waist deep.

The schooner J.& J. lumber laden, was driven on the levee 85 miles below the city, and left high and dry. Two unknown luggers shared the same fate. What few oranges there were on the trees were blown off. The damage between Pointe ala Hacha and Port Hades, in rice, gardens, cattle horses, poultry, houses, etc., is estimated at $200,000. No loss of life is reported. Beaumont, Texas, Qet. 15.—The first reports of the great disaster at Sa- bine Pass were not exagzerated, in fact the death roll now reaches 90 souls. Relief parties that went down as near Sabine as possible on the Sabine and East Texas Railroad, are there yet succoring the destitute and sick. The train could not get within 12 miles of the town, but over a dozen tow boats have been sent there, und are at work saving life and property. There iscon- siderale backwater yet at Sabine hem- med in and held there by the railroad embankment. The most intense ex- citement has prevailed here since the first news of the fearful catastrophe. |The people have neither eaten norslept and crowds have surrounded the wharv- ‘es and depot waiting fora return of ithe train or boat from the devastated town, The steamer Lamar left Orange Wednesday night at 10 o'clock with the When she would return no one knew but a con- stant watch was kept at Orange and here. At midnight last night she ar~ rived here. People hurried to hear the the news and receive the sick and destitute. The relief committee aboard the Lamar consisted of 20 citizens from Beaumont and 40 from Orange. Chey traveled up the Neches river be- tween £ p.m. and midnight, which was an extraordinary trip, fraught with fear- ful danger. Twenty-five of the com- mittee were left at Sibine Pass to make attempts to recover some of the bodies, many of which were reported to have washed dozens of miles over into Lou- isiana. The members of the relief com- mittee who returned were so worn out and overcome by the horrible devasta- tion they witnessed that it was next to impossible to get a coherent story from them, and as each of the refugees was surrounded by about 100 people, it was equally impossible to get detailed ac- counts from any oneof them. The exact extent of the storm swept district is yet unknown. From reports brought by the committee it is certain that the ilooded district is many times larger than it first supposed. The gulf seems to have moved over the land for miles in one high unbroken wall of water. The committee report 101 persons missing, 90 of whom are known to have been drowned. gre Mr. Henderson, in the seventh dis- crict. has plain sailing. A recent Re- pubhean convention in Randolph coun- ty took it upon itself to appoint a com- mittee of two to recommend a candidate for Congress in this district, and this cominittee have named a person of the aame of Blair as the candidate. And . few Prohibitionists met in an office in Salisbury last week and nominated a Randolph gentleman by the name of Walker as their candidate. So Mr. Hen- derson has plenty of opposition such as tis. His conduct dunng his first term in Congress was such as to commend him ‘o the favor of the people of the dis- crict, and they will take pleasure in re- turning him.—Land-mark. fo ee Caninity Versus Ovinity. Cor. of the News and Observer. Tarsoro, N. C., Oct. 8. The grand exalted divinity Of the statesmen is caninity. Now, let us review the trinity— Canines, statesmen and ovinity. Whuile the political chaldron is seeth- ing, bubling, sizzling; while nominee statesmen are being called out on the stock law, prohibition and what not, no one seems to havea soul to do or dare aught against the unserried pha- lanx of doys. . Politicians may come and go, but the good dogs if, indeed, there be such. This writer belongs to the school of hilosophers who believe that all good ogs, like good boys, die young, in their early puppyhood, invariably by premature birth. ° But, to return to our mutton. The scalp of the legislator would be safe who would help pass such a law. Leav- ing out the arcadian and bombastical feature in hearing about the musical tinkling of the bells, the political dem- agogue could explain to each constitu- ent that, his dogs being all good, ‘twas the other fellow’s he was after, and the motive was to preserve that especial constituent’s pets. This racket would work charming] and impart to the politician a Hen place on earth and canonization after death, with pedestal and all it implies. So much of a cosmopolitan and free- lance by nature and acquirements, this writer 1s wedded to no especial scheme, so the devoutly-wished consummation be attained, and inserts another re- ceipt. The writer of a letter to the New York Sun says: “I have read much about sheep killing. I suggest a very simple remefy. My country is a great sheep couniry. Every dog in the coun- try from the size of a spitz dog, except shepherd's dogs and hunting dogs ac- companied by their masters, are by law compelled to carry a club fastened by a string around their necks. A dog so provided is as good watch dog but in hunting for sheep he cannot run fast enough to catch them, nor can he jump any fence. All dogs without a club are shot by any officer, and the owner, when found, is fined. Such an ordinance or law, if enforced, will pre- vent sheep-killing by dogs.” ‘Twould be preferable that the club be placed with fatal violence upon the dog's head instead of attached to the neck, but it is not seemly for a beggar to be a chooser. These hints are thrown out to the legislator of the near future. Let us see how many statesnien in the next legislature will join the noble and im- mortal band of the last who voted to tax dogs, looking to the advancement of sheep husbandry. Let us revise the roll and emblazon on our banner “Maximuzation of sheep and minimization of dogs.” Let sheep lovers lubricate their hands witl, saliva and take a new hold. Dossey BaTTLE. ss ii A Knight on Negro Social Equality. A Knight of Labor of Richmond writes the Whig as follows - * Permit me through the columns of your paper, to give vent to my feelings of mortification as a Knight of Labor, at the conduct of District Assembly 49, Kk. of L. of New York, which was approved by Grand Master Workman, T. V. Powderly. No organization will be tolerated in our community that will approve of social negro equality, no matter with what class it originates. White workingmen, ponder, reason this matter over, whether you belong to a labor organization or not. Look to your families. If you have any daughters, look twice, and do not let such fanaticism enter your household. Just think of the decision of the high chief, every man is his equal, regard- less of his color or previous condition. If the construction of T. V. Powderly on the colored question is law I will vent- ure to predict that there will not be enough respectable white men left in the order of our city to form a_ body guard to keep Geronimo in captivity.” The following resolution was pre- sented by Delegate Barrett, of Penn- sylvania : Wuereas, Reports have been circu- lated and impressions have been created by the press of the country regarding the position of Knights of Labor upon the question of socal equality ; and, Wrereas, We believe the welfare of the order in the South requires that ; this General Assembly take such action as will dispel those impressions ; there- fore, be it Resolved, That the organization of “CHUMPS” Who Gather in the Ducats at the Expense of Suffering Hamanty. The Glaring Gall Exhibited by Non- Professional Frauds. _ The country is flooded with bogus medi- cine nen, and in a few cases a heavy capi- tal is all they have to sustain their prestige. Numerous cleverly concocted certificates are forced upon the unsuspecting purport- ing to have “snatched them from the grave” some poor victim of blood poison or other disease, when to our knowledge the identi- cal persons lay groaning in agony while the public were reading their remarkable re- covery. : Another serious offense is the publication of erroneous statements concerning various drugs, such as are prescribed by our best physicians, declaring them deadly poisons. Iodide of potash, which seems to receive their eondemnation, when prescribed by physicians and in the proper combination with certain confpounds, is not only harm- less, but forms ony, of the most powerful antagonists to bloodr puison known to the medical world. B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) contains iodide of potash. This com- pany hold hundreads of genuine certificates from persons who have been cured of vari- ous diseases arising from an impure state of the blood by the use of B. B. B. The ques- tion now is, ifiodide of potash is such a terrible enemy to health, why is it that the Blood Balm Co. have made within three yaars the most gigantic sales and cures ever made on American soil? A Generous; Proposition.

How had the facts been? What were the results. Now there is a democratic State and National administration, and more people and more capital are coming into the South than ever before.

The whole State was in high state of progress. He spoke of the fact that a great contractor said he had never seen somuch improvement. People poured into the State; money came here for investment.

Would people return to darkness, to an impoverished, a plun- ‘dered people, to cruelly, to fraud, to | Littlefield and his host of plunderers who. preyed upon the State?» When he look- jed at these questions and the duty of the peoples he could not speak coldly.

Books were opened last month for sub- | scriptions of stock in the 2d series, and in a few days 280 shares were taken. At the Directors meeting on Tuesday, it was ordered that the books be re-opened until the Ist November, in order to give an opportunity to others who were known to be desirious of taking stock. At that meeting, also, four applications for loans were passed on and granted, amounting | to $2700. Including applications pre¢- | viously granted the total sum of applica- tions accepted but not yet paid is $4,600, The monthly receipts on stock now amounts to about $1,000; and the inter- | est on loans already made to about $40, per month.

PROF. KIZER’S STATEMENT: We have arule not to allow pupils to go onthe railroad bridge; it is known and observed by the school. At recess on Thursday L saw Frank Tuttle stand- ing on the bridge watching an approach- ing train. I called to him in the presence of about a hundred boys to come off the bridge. He looked at me and must have heard me, but did not respond. I re- peated the call and still he did not obey. I went to him and ordered him in the house; I followed and began administer- ing what I deemed a proper punishment for his offense against the rule of the ischool and my verbal demand for him to }obey it. He began to resist and I took a better hold and administered the punish- meut, His defiance of authority was in the presence of a large number of pupils and it was necessary to give him a good Whipping asan example tothe school, Lhe boy resisted on a former oceasion, and is one of the worst boys in the schoul to keep within proper bounds. I deny that I struck the boy in any way so as to leave any external evidence; as the boy did that himself by running against a desk. I deny ever having abused a boy in school. I do keep good order, but I du not inflict excessive punishment, REV. MR, TUTTLE’S STATEMENT: 1 wasa little late getting home last Thursday and found my wife waiting for ine, She met me at the door very much excited and said that Frank was in the house very much abused; Professor has given hima violent beating. IL immediate- ly proceeded to examine the boy and found tnat his left wrist was considera- bly swollen and bruised: the same arm, near the shoulder was also considerably bruised and bluod-shot—i.e. the outer skin was broken and blood had gathered under it; there was a bruise on his fore- head just under the edge of his hair, that Was very much swollen atthe time— about the sizeof a small grinea egg; fon his hips and thigh there were quite a number of wales; two having cut through the skin. In addition to the evidences of severity already mentioned, there were blue and black marks on his limbs the size of a silver half dollar. the external evidence of the beating, but oe jthe boy complained that evening and night very much of painsin bis back, Which he said resulted from his being thrown violently ona bench. I was not disposed to precipitate a difficulty, so to come over, (we are near neighbors,) } and grant me an interview. To this re- quest he made no reply, and fiiled to allow me to see him before Saturday morning, which you will remember was after publication of the matter had been made. I further state that the publica- tion in the Lrening Examiner was sub- stantially correct us to the injury done the boy. THE COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE, The School Committee met on last Monday evening and heard the statements of Rev. Mr. Tuttle and Prof. Kizer. They then requested these gentlemen to retire. After some deliberation they — post- | fponed the further investigation of the / matter until next Monday cvening (25th) when they will take testimuny aud come to a decision, The statements of the gentlemen are given tothe public. Both are men of strict integrity. Weshall not comment on what tuey have stated; the public may draw its own inferences. There is one phase of the question which we think needs the careful consideration of the | School Committee, and that is the advisa- { bility of continuing corporal punishment in the school. Every disturbance that has ever been associated with the school }has arisen from this cause. Would it not be well to relieve the male teachers lof the right to inflict corporal punish- , free schools of the north teachers are not allowed touse the rod at all, and they have the best disciplined schools in America. Tt is discipline by intellectual force, not physical domination, But there are those who argue that this will not work bere, where all classes mingle ina school. Surely the the chil- Should the committee not, however, con- cur inthis epinion, perhaps they will take other means to restore public conti- dence in the reasonableness of the punish- ment inflicted at the school. They must | needs know that there must be a change from present inodes. In order to main- tain good discipline itis necessary to have the co-operation cfparents. Toallow the parent an opportunity to aid in the disciplinary government of the school, would it not be well, if not to abolish corporal punishment, to restrict it toa limit of say ten lashes with a single switch.

A tunnel was started in the side of the mountain to cut the vein at a considerable depth below the surface, and was driven about 100 feet in the di- rection of the vein. Ata branch, at the foot of the hill, they found the vein cross- jing ata lower depth than the tunnel, and they drove on the vein at this point. The ore seems to be homogeneous. This property has a fine body of timber stand- ing on it, and hasa plentiful supply of good water. It is a place that needs capi- tal to work it up, and those desiring to get particulars, such as assays, value of copper percentage in ore &c, are refered to Prof. Geo. B. Hanna, Charlotte, N. C. who has made an examination of the property and assayed the ores from the various openings. MORRIS MT. MINE RE-OPENED. Work has been resumed at the Morris Mountain mine in Montgomery county, by Truman Coman, Esq., formerly of N. Y., but for the last ten years, a resi- dent of Thomasyille, N. C. Morris Moun- tain property is near Eldorado postoffice, and is being cleared and prepared for regular work. Mr. Coman has interest- ed some New York gentlemen with him in this property, and its development lies in the near future. The gold is free, and is generally found in the Huronian slate, and in the quartz veins which are found in this furmation. The mine produces rich specimens of free gold, which some- times mislead as to the value of a deposit. BILES MINE STILL PRODUCING. The Biles mines, operated by Crowell & Ivy, near Bilesville, in Stanly county, continues to produce. Work has been in progress here on a small scale for more than a year, and with prospects for a con- tinuation for sometime to come. Owing to the limited amount invested, the re- turns have been small, yet amply remu- | nerative for the expenditure. There is room for expansion at this property, and a chance for capital to find a profita- ble investment. OPERATIONS IN UNION COUNTY, At the Altan mine,in Union county, new methods are being introduced— milling machinery and concentrators— and the same is true at the Howie mine. If the results are favorable extended operations will be undertaken at both. The Putnam and Caldwell mines, in Union county, arein active operation; ithe former has a mill and is now on the list of producers, At the Hemby mine, in Union county, the ten stamp mill has been completed and the manager is only waiting for The Agent of the ‘Big Survey tract,” in Union county, has spent several days in examining that property, and may possi- bly have the tract carefully explored; this “Survey” lies between the Davis and Howie mines, (a distance of four or five miles,) and as both of these are noted localities, itis not «mlikely that some- thing good may be found in the interval. The policy of this company, which also owns large tracts in Rutherford and Polk counties has been to reserve mining rights in selling their lands, and hence it has resulted, though probably not inten- ded, that mining has been discouraged. The only mines known along this stretch besides those named, are the Folger aad Moore Hills; it would be very strange if thisinterval were barren, when its continuations were rich, SOUTH CAROLINA NOTES. Mining in this State is rather dull this season! The Haile has somewhat im- proved in material cf late, but the work istmuch the same as for the last two years. The same may be said of opera- tions at the Brewer mine. The mining work in Union county,S. C. is flat; a little placer work is being effect- ed in Spartanburg county and in Oconee county, but the output is not large. MINES IN GEORGIA. In Ga., work is without change, so far as the writer can learn. Two new mines have been put on the list of producers, viz: Warren and Taylor mines, both in Warren county. The Dahlonega district work continues about the same, but better ore hag been uncovered at the Gorden mine.

John Jaccbs, Supt. of the Yadkin Chlorination Works, at this place, bas ore sent here from Bal! Ground, Chero- kee county, Ga. The mine at that place is operated by Franklin & McDonald. They are very well pleased with the re- turns. Chlorination is, after all, prob- ably the cheapest and most reliable treat- ment for sulphide ores. The wonder is that it can be done so cheaply. A pro- perly concentrated ore reduces the cost per crude tun to rediculously low fisures.

When I am dead and gentle hands caress me With loving touch their lips do gently press me; Dear love, remember, lean lower down and kiss me, The day is near when thy fond heart will miss me. Come close, dear love, and sit beside me, For you, of all, know how my sorrows tried me; Speech were in vain, yon knowing, know My greatest need, and all my woe. When I am dead and all my heart's distress Lies in the green earth’s sweet forgetfulness, I care not dear, if all the world go by My quiet grave without a word or sigh, If thow but think of me with gentleness. Why should I care go near the infinite? Why should I moan that thou will cease to mise me? Ah, God, these earthly ties are knit so tight— Quick, quick, lean lower, oh, my love, and kiss mo. —K. B. in Richmond Whig. Rules For Society. You ask me for rules of society, The following were given to mo. Alas! though they sound pretty simple, { fail in each one of the three. The first is the shortest, but hardest ; Forget yoursel/—darcgs, looks and all, Not wishing you're stouter or thinner, Less dark, or loss fair, or lesa tall ; Forget, though your dress may be shabby ; Forget, too, the go of your hair, Forgetting, in short, all about you, Remember all else who are there. Rule two is Think always of others, And when you are thinking be sure To try and discover their best points. Don’t dwell on the faults they should cure. If only you look and endeavor You always may find something good. The most disagreeable is never Too utterly horrid and rude. Remember this one has had trouble, That other one may have fecble hoalth, This man has been soured by poverty, Another no less so by wealth. These two are but just the exceptiona, For out of the people you mect You'll find only one who is sour In proportion to ten who are sweet. Think always the best things about them, It will not be bard if you try— And then you can always say truly “In this thing he’s better than I.” The third rule is, Make them all happy: Look around to sce who is left out; Cheer up the shy girl in the corner, Amuse the old man with the gout. Take care of that pale-looking lady, And mind that she’s not in the draught, But don't let her see what you're doing, If needs be, with love mix some craft. Talk politics now to the statesman, Converse With another on trade, Talk of home and friends to the lonely boy, And of tlowers and woods to the maid. If ever you talk of people, Remember the rule says “All,” And you must not be entertaining ono At the cost of another's fall. It's your mission to make all happy, And never to drop a speech That could carry sorrow to any heart Wherever your words might reach. After all, it’s the Bible maxim That puts it shortest and best: “Be kind, be courteous, be full of love’— You may safely leave the rest. AGM ALR: Shorts From Heilig's Mill. Heilig’s Mill, N. C.

A GRAND BECEPTION---A GABA DAY--THE VIRGINIAN DOING HONOR TO THF CHIEF EXECOTIVF OF THE NARION, © Ricnstomp, Va, Oct, 21—Phe fich left Washington about Sovlorkt Ss morn- ing, conveying President Offycland, Secre- tarics Bayard and Edicott, Postmaster General Vilas, Lieut. Gen. Sheridan Com- missioner of Agriculture Colman, Mr. E. D. T. Myers, General Superintendent of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad; Mr. Robert A. Park, of the Penn- sylvania railroad; Mr, 2. Barry, Superin- tendent of the Pullman Palace-car company; Col. Daniel Lamonte and a committee of Virginians, cosisting of Gen. W. C. Wyck- ham, Col A. 8. Buturd and Dr. Holt, ar- rived here at 41:32 a. m. The depot and streets leading to it were crowded, and as the President alighted he received an ovation. The Home Cuards came toa “present,” lifted their helmlets, and, as soon as the visitors were seated in the carriage, wheeled about and preceeded the cavalcade to the fair grounds, three quarters of a mile distant. Upon reaching the grounds the presiden- tinl party were driven to the building oc- cupied by the general officers, and shortly afterwards the executive emerged from the balcony ovorlookin the fair grounds, where he was presented to the multitude by Gov- ernor Fitz Hugh Lee, who pleasantly wel- comed the President to the mecting of the sepresentatives of the agricultural interests of Virginia. Gov. Lee said: “The annual gathering of the representativer of the agricultural inter- ests of Virginia is always a subject of con- cern to us all, and that intcrest is more in- tense and profound than ever this yar; be- cause the chief magistrate of this yrent re- public tells us by his presence this morning that he too, is interested in whatever touches prosperity of the commonwealth which forms a ofthis great land, whose govern- ment has been committed to his charge. Indeed it is a recognition of the fact on the part of our President that agricultural wealth and progress is intimately interwoy- en with the advancement of national pros- perity. It should, therefore, be an encour- ragement to the farmer to study carefully his profession, as others have to do theirs. In order to attain eminence in the respective pursnits, agriculture standing in the van of our industrial arts, will have a renaissance, and with the rapid development of all our mineral resources, we will hope to present to your eyes, Mr. President, a section that isabreast with the other parts ofthecountry in all that constitutes the genuine wealth of public success.” Goy. Lee then alluded to the railroads of Virginia, the development of the iron ore, coal ficlds, and to the general industrial and commercial growth of the South, He con- tinued “I speak of this, sir, because. while occupying the position you do, knowing no North, no South, no East or no West, it will vive you pleasure to know that the South will contribute her proportionate share to the future grandeur and yvlory of the Ameri- can repulic, The old mother of Presidents to-day welcomes within her borders a Presi- dent of tae United States, and I know that I voice the sentiments of this vast throng when Itender you and the distinguished cit- izens and statesnien who accompany you, a sincere, hearty welcometo Virginia, Virgin- ians not only feel the most profound vene- ration for the high office whose duties you so ably discharge, but they respect the man who fillsit. Weshare, sir, the feeling so pre valent elsewhere, that under your s:iiminis- trrtion the destiny of the country has been committed to wise, Conservative and safe hands, that the constitutiou of liberty is secure. We believe, Mr. President that you will stand firm in the defense of the princi- ples of the government inaugurated by the forefathers. The mutterings of discontent have become hollow toned, and recoi! from your armor of riglit as the dashing songs re- bound from the rock barred beach of the vcean, From the stormy night of the pust we seem to see you standing on the mountain top like another Moses, bearing ouly in your hands with erect brow and resolute heart the tables of the law while marching on without fear of obstacle. May your adminis- tration bring to the whole country light, life and hope, and may the prayer ascend to my tather’s God, that the sword has been beaten into the plough share and the spear into the pruning hook, that State shall not lift up its arm against State; neither shall they know war anymote. But that the sign of peace and prosperity shall be as lasting us the home of the stones, us eternal as the found- ation of the everlasting hills.” The President was then introduced by Col. Beverty, who in behalf of the farmers of Virginia, welcomed lim to their State. Deafening and prolonged cheers, and wild waving of hats and handkerchiefs greeted him: In aclear voice, loud jenough to be heard upon the great borders of the multi- tude, he spoke as follows; “FELLOW CITIZENS oF VIRGINIA: —While Ithank you most sincerely for your kind reception, and recognize in its heartiness the hospitality for which the people of Vir- ginia have always been distinguished, I con- gratulate myself that my first introduction tothe people of Virginia occurs at a time when they are surrounded by the exhibits of the prodactions and prosperity of their State. Whatever there may be of honor in her history, and howcver much pride there may be in her traditions, the true greatness ishere exemplificd. The full advantage of that which may be yielded toak te by the toil and ingenuity of her peo) ‘ce is not measured alone by the money valuc of the product. The efforts and the struggles of herfarmers and her artisians not only create new values in the ticld: of agriculture and in the arts and manufaetorics, but they at the same time produce rigid, sclf-reliant avd independent men, and cultivate that product which more than all others, enables a State a patriotic, carncst American citi- zenship. If in the past we have been es- tranged, and the cultivation of American citizenship has been interrupted, your en- thusiastic welcome of to-day demonstrates that there is an end to such estrangement, and that the time of suspension of fear is succeeded by an era of faith and confidence, In such a kindly atmosphere and breath, such cheering skies, I grect the people of Virginia as laborers in the fticld where grows the love of our united country.” Upon the conclusion of the speech there was a great cheering. The other members of the party were presented. atter which the president held a reception in the office of the president of the society, Many expressions of regret were heard on all sides at the failare of Mrs. Cleveland and inuch comment is made on the suddd@n to aecompany her distinguished venti 1 chance in this part of the procramine. magnificent orvtion was in waiting for hay as well as her distinguished husband. = It _ was arranged that the ladies of Richmond should tender a joint reception to her and Miss Winnie Davis (daughter of the Presi- dent of the Confederaey) at the Govenor’s ‘mansion, and the R. E. Lee vetcrans in- tended to present her a beautiful souvenir. One of the principal objects on the part of Virginians in inducing the President and his Cabinet to visit their capital at this time was to obliterate the last vestige of sectionatism, and they deetncd it highly appropriate that Miss Davis, the direct representative of the head of the South . during the rebellion, should be presented te those who now represent a united garb. It was intended to make the reception at the Governor's mansion this evening a kind of love feast, but on account of tire absence of Mrs. Cleveland, and the cxpressed wish of the President, the day's entertainment was confined to the fair grounds.

C., Oct. 21st.—The re- turn trip of the presidential special from Richmond, was without incidents, and but one or two brief stops were made. Upon the arrival at Washington at 10 p. m., the President and members ef the Cabinet were immediately driven to their respective homes. The President and members of the party expressed themscelvs as haying enjoy- ed their visit. Silk, Cotton and Rice. The Hon. Thos. R. Jernigan, writing to the Goldsboro Messenger, from Japan, among other valuable informa- tion from that distant land, says: “The business of silk production is carried on in the house where the family lives. The mulberry leaves are either picked off by women and chil- dren and carried into the house, or the young limbs with the leaves on are cut off and taken there, where the leaves are picked off, washed, cut up, and fed to the werms. Little skill is required. When the cocoons are ready for wind- ing, itis done by women and girls. ‘To make an even thread requires exper- lence, care, and skill, and such labor commands wages accordingly. Spin- ning, warping, dyeing, and weaving are all more or less skilled branches and require skilled labor. There are some establishments that buy the co- coons, wind them, spin the thread, and weaye the cloth; but nine-tenths of the silk, raw and manfactured of the country, is family made. ‘The machin- ery or manufacture, whether in the factory or private house is crude, and still remains as though Jacquard and Arkwright never lived. The beautiful stuff made by such crude means testify to their skill and ingenuity? The man who tends the trees commands ordin- ary farm wages, while leaf pickers and feeders, winders, spinners, and weavers of plain cloth, will get from twenty to forty-cents perday. Weavers of fancy patterned goods get much more, even as high as one dollar per day, but this 19 very exceptional. Speaking of cotton raising in Japan he says: The average yield per acre is 125 lbs. The lint is separated from the seed by means of rubbers, which consist of two small wooden rollers, which revolve in opposite directions, &e. They are not lhkely to compete with us, for some years yet, if ever. The rice crop in Japan is the leading agricultural interest of the country. We quote as follows: Without this product it would be difficult for the Coolies—the lower class of laborers—to live. It is so cheap that four or five cents will purchase enough for daily food. Rice is culti- vated in all the provinces of Japan. The average price of rice land is about forty dollars per acre. Four or five acres of lowland rice fields form quite a respectable holding for one person. This, with another acre or so of upland where vegetables are raised, and a lit- tle bluff land for timber, fuel, and grass to feed the jack horse, supports his family, pays for hired help, and gives alittle surplus at the annual renting day. ‘The eee of the rice, silk and tea farmers are the best of the agricul- tural laborers in Japan. The house is often as large as thirty or forty feet square, universally one-story, thatched roof, strongly built, with veranda in front, and five or six rooms, one being kept as a spare or reception room. If built with a view to light and warmth they would compare in comfort with the average farm house at home. - oO I The Chances of Matrimony.

M’CABE. Some people think that a to raise missionary money is to ¢or- pare the giving of Methodists with that of other denominations; tna some- times the comparison séems: gréatly against us. It is a very common thing to divide our whole nussionary collec- tion by one million eight hundred thousand members, and then take the little quotient of less than ‘half a dol- lar and ring the changes on it. “We Methodists,” says a writer inn church paper lying before me—“*We Methodists give but fifty cents per annum for missions per member while the Presbyterians give two dollars; the Congregationalists give three ‘dollars and fifty cents; the eats Episco- palians one dollar and fifty cents,” ete. Now this could be shameful if this were the whole story. But look at the following table. The Methodist peo- ple gave last year for the work of God, as follows: For support of Pastors, Elders and Bish- NI os ra es eee es $ 7,792,407 For Conference Ciaiinants (aged minis- ters, Widows and orpbans)............ 180,000 For building churches and parsonages, aud general Improvements.......... 4,131,531 Paid on old debts of churches and par- SOMA ROB eer ciscse cs eieeiieciale cstarcierets 1,159,948 For missions fucluding W.

How about church extension? Since the war the Methodists have built four thous- and more churches than the entire accumulation of the Presbyterians for two hundred years; and since 1864 they have built six thousand more churches than the entire number ac- cumulated by the Congregationalists since the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth Kock; and six thousand more than the Episcopalians possess in the whole nation. Brethren, don’t discourage the host. Don't tell an army that has won the createst victory for Christ ever won on the face on the earth, “Ye have done little.” It is not the way to get money. I never got a penny that way. After such a speech you cannot get ten cents for, missions or anything else. cs oa November Bivonac. “The Rice Fields of Carolina” is the title of an illustrated article by Hugh N.

Rev. R. T. Vann, pastor of the Baptist church at Wako Forest college, is expec- ted to conduct aseries of meetings with the Baptist church of this town, begin- ning next Tuesday night, Nov. 2d. All are invited. George Anderson, the barber, was at Richmond last week during the Fair, and saw areal live President. George says the President's arm must have been sore that night, ‘Dat he shore did shake hands with lots of folks.” Dramatic troupes that intend to visit and expect to get an audience in Salis- bury herdéfter, had better furnish music. It is one of the attractive features of a good performance and one that a Salis- bury audience demands. The lodges of Masons and Odd Fellow here are almost inoperative, owing, it is supposed, to the organizing of numerous other orders, which have attached sys- tems of life insurance. This feature no doubt, operates against the older orders | as they are strictly benevolent societies. The season for snake stories has about departed, and it is now in order for the, Duck sportsmen of this community to air themselves. Nothing less than tho number heretofore winged at a single shot, will be considered worth noticing. a er ae at ee Mcroney and Bro’ is not large enough by half, to display the immense stock of goods now en hand. They will be, no doubt, compelled to add to their already commodious store room, in the near future. The large pillars, which support the portico of the Court-house, have begun to shed the coating of stucco—presenting a shabby appearance. The entire exte- rier of Rowan’s finest public building needs fixing up. In this age of elaborate public buildings, a county’s proscurity is judged by the kind of Court-house she has. With thexsftisieal and dramatic talent that Salisbury ean justly boast, an associ- ation should be formed, and entertain- ments given, say once a month during the winter, and devote the proceeds to pur- chasing a site for a new cemetery. A purchase of this character must soon claim the attention of our citizens. Remember, that nothing antagonistic to the principles of the Democratic party in the present contest, isin the interest of good government. The population of Salisbury has increased since the last election—consequently the votes polled will be larger and an increase in the Democratic majority ought to be the result. It is learned that Thompson Brothers of Tyro, are desirious of establishing a foundry and manufactory of agricultural implements at this place, and that they have made an effort to secure a piece of property on a suitable location, but failed togetit. They should be encouraged and have the co-operation of the business men of the town. Such enterprises will im- prove any town, or community, whether they want to grow or not. The Prohibition Banner of Salisbury, has indiscreetly attacked Hon. John §. Henderson for absence at roll call in Congress, and intimates that he was in- attentive to his dutiesas a member of Congress. Ifthe Banner had anything to lose by such an attack, it would lose it. Mr. Henderson’s industrious habits and fidelity to every trust committed to his hands is known to every one who knows him. The party assailing him should know what they are about, especially here amidst the people who have known his life from its beginning. On last Friday night just as the eight o’clock train from the south was nearing the Depot—Major Osborne, a negro boy eighteen years old, tried to repeat a feat he had performed several times before— that of crossing in front of a moving express train—giving the boys aspecimen of his agility. Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for the boys hereafter, his calculations were at fault. He was caught and drageed some distance between the locomotive and the platform, breaking his left leg, fracturing his skull and several bones of the face. He is still alive but the chances are against his recovery. P. 5.—Osborne is dead—died yesterday evening. The Reverend John S. Clark after 52 years service in the sacred ministry was suddenly called away by death on Mon- day morning. For more than forty years he ministered to one parish jn Virginia, and then for nine or ten years at Leaks- ville and Reidsville in his own State. Last April, owing to his great age and increasing infirmities he resigned all his charges and removed to Salisbury where he lived with his son, Mr. George Clark. Since then he has preached and minister- ed in many places as his strength would allow him. On Sunday morning last he assisted in the services in St. Luke’s Church and in the afternoon preached at St. Mary’s. He was a good man and both by his life and doctrine set forward the glory of Ged and the edification of the Church. ee Rain Tree. A phenomenon similar to that reported in the Charlotte Observer, was observed by many of our citizens during the last days of the dry weather last week. While the sky was clear and the earth parched, a fall of rain was distinctly visible every afternoon about three o’clock under the small tree in front of Kluttz’s Drug Store on Main street. The tree is of the vari- ity known as the box elder or ash leaved maple, ae Interesting to Millers. There isa revolution taking place in the milling business of the country which will consign to the rubbish heap the mills now in operation for making flour. It involves a total loss of the present ma- chinery—burr mill stones and all. Of course reference is had to the new sys- tem of making flour by crushing the wheat between steel or iron rolls in- stead of grinding it betwecn stones. There is a great difference between the results. The flour from the roller mills is far superior and sells freely at $3 and $3.25, when that from the common mills of the country is refused at $2 and $2.95, A merchant of this place who keeps both kinds says he sells ten bags of roller mill flour to one of the other, notwithstand- ing the difference of $1 to the bag. It is apparent, therefore, that the time for Burrstone mills is out, so far as making flour for the market is coneerned. The revolution will necessarily be slow, for the cost of the roller system is much greater and beyond the means of the large majority of country millers, <A strictly neighborhood business will be the limit of the mills now in use for anumber of years, but the roller system will evi- dently supercede them in the end. —— <p> = GIVE ELY’S CREAM BALM atrial.

C.—There was a heavy earthquake shock here at 5:10. this morn- ing, lasting thirty seconds. It was pre- ceeded by loud and continuous rumblin which lasted until the quake passed off. Nearly everybody was awakened by the shock, which swayed buildings and rat- tled things pretty lively. It was the heaviest shock felt here since the second one of August 31st. It was felt from Charleston to Colum- bus, Ohio, and from Washington city to Chattanooga. Reports from intermediate points generally agree in stating it as slight. Revival at Unity Church. We learn that a meeting of great interest is going on at Unity church— Presbyterian—in this county. Rev. Mr. Boyd, the pastor was assisted by Dr. Rumple, and Rev. J. A. Ramsay, who preached to full houses morning and night all last week. Last Sabbath the crowd was very great and up to Sabbath night seventeen professed conversion, while several others were inquiring what they must do to be saved. The persons interested were mostly grown young men and young ladies, who are highly esteem- edin the community. The meeting is still going on, Mr. Ramsay preaching this week while Dr. Rumple has returned and gone to Blowing Rock, to fulfill an appointment there along with Mr. Mun- roe. Unity church is greatly revived, and the hearts of many are made glad. ne a Every Farmer Needs It.

The munificence of na- ture in so abundantly bestowing within an area of 52,000 square miles such a variety of valuable material is indeed amazing. Any one of her numerous ad- vantages would prove of sufficient im- portance, to a new country, to induce a tide of immigration to flow into it. That is to say that any new country showing such abundant wealth in gold ores, cop- per ores, iron ores, building stones, gem stones, forests of hard and soft timbers, agricultural possibilities or water powers, would at once claim the attention of those seeking to improve their condition either by manual labor or the investment of capital. When an even, bracing climate and springs of pure healthy water are plete. The exhibit made by the State Depart- ment of Agriculture at the State fair is essentially the same as that shown at Boston and at New Orleans, except that it is relieved of the paste board and tin- sel decorations used in those great exhi- bitions. : Beginning with gold ores, and follow- ing the order given above, a brief sketch of what is shown is appended: GOLD ORES, embracing many varieties and combina- tions are shown from the counties of Burke, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Catawba, Davidson, Gaston, Guilford, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Moore, Ran- dolph, Rowan, Rutherford, Stanly and Union. The materials shown are not cabinet specimens, but piles of from ten to five. hundred pounds in weight. The spectator is at once impressed, as he looks over o hundred and twenty-five such piles of oro. Theso specimens are from only leading localities. In the counties named there are over 300 known locali- ties, where auriferous ores are known to exist. COPPER ORES are shown from Ashe, Cabarrus, Cald- well, Chatham, Davidson, Granville, Guilford, Jackson, Mecklenburg, Person, Rowan, Stokes, Wake and Watauga counties. The exhibit of these ores is remarkably fine, and aside from their cupriferous value, is attractive from the many beautiful colors and tints presented in the oxidesand carbonates. These ores are also shown in bulks and the twenty- five piles are examined with much in- terest. IRON ORES. The State is famous for its stores of fine iron ore. The exhibit of these ores is impressive from two causes, variety and value. Ores are shown from the counties of Ashe, Buncombe, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Catawba, Chatham, Cherokee, Davidson, Davie, Gaston, Guilford, Lin- con, McDowell, Madison, Mitchell, Mont- gomery, Orange, Rowan, Stokes, Watauga aud Yancey, and comprised some more than fifty large piles. BUILDING STONES. More than fifty specimens of building stones, which had been polished on one side, dressed on another, “bushed’”’ on the third and left rough on the fourth. These were displayed to great advantage and proved of much interest to all classes of visitors. GEM STONES, The exhibit of gem stones is very fine, and embraces emerald, hiddenite, beryls, (of many colors) rutile in quartz—sage- nite—garnet, (deep red, almandine and pale cherry red) citrine topaz, smoky topaz, sunstone, amethyst, sapphire, moon- stone, jasper, chalcedony, tourmaline, pyrope garnets, and many others. The Marion BuHion Co, exhibit more than 300 gems and gem stones, from their pro- perty in McDowell county. The exhibit is made with the Department’s exhibit, and is an exceedingly fine display. ABOUT METEORITES. Mr. W. E. Hidden wishes it known among the miners and farmers, that he would be glad to purchase for cash, spec- imens of meteoric stones, ‘nativeiron” and zrolites that have either been seen to fall or hayo been discovered in the surface soil. Any mass of silvery white metals, found in the soil, having a rusty or black sur- face, can be taken for granted to be of meteoric origin and as such demands careful preservation. These masses should be donated to or sold ta the scientific men who can give them careful study. Very properly they are the property of scientific men and should not be allowed to lay around idle doing no one any good. Only lately a mass found in this State which was used to keep a barn door open, the owner not dreaming that the rusty mase of heavy metal was worth twenty dollars to him as proved to be the case. Farmers occasionally plow up pieces of “native iron’ and have plows or horse- shoes inade of them, which act is vandal- ism in its very worst forin. These meteor- ic masses are of a truth only worth in- trinsically a few eents a pound; but scientitie men who appreciate these celes- tial objects will be giad to buy them at rates varying from one to ten dollars per pound, according tothe weight of the mass and its general interest scientifically To show the value of these strange o jects we will merely mention that Mr. Hidden lately paid one hundred dollars for the twelve potnd stone which fel) May 14th, 1874 near Castalia, Nash Co., N.C. And one hundred and twenty-five dollars for the ninety-four pound mass which was found by three boys near Sulphur Rock P.

The fowls should be confined in coops, which should be kept clean and deeply sanded. nd a Successful Experiments With Sorgham. Last year the Department of Agri- culture began to experiment in a small way at Ottawa, Kansas, with the dif- fusion of sugar-making process as applied to sorghum cane. _ Instead of crushing the « cane, as in the sugar cane process, it was shaved off in minute slices, and the sucrose, or sugar yielding sap, extracted by streams of water. The results obtained were so encouraging that the field of operations was removed to Fort Scott this year, and with a largely increased plant experiments are now in progres: on a scale of some magnitude. telegram was received from Prof. Wiley, the Chemist of the Department, who is in charge of the works, announcing the complete success of the experiment. The talegram states that syrup has been obtained from the speghitn cane of light color, good flavor, and crystal- izing well. There was complete extraction of sucrose in six of the cells of the battery. Commissioner Colman is very much elated at the results of the experiments, and regards them as of great value from an economical point of view. In the process now used in the South there is a loss of nearly 50 per eent. of the saccharine matter con- tained in the cane, while the experi- ments of Fort Scott show an absolute extraction of all the sugar. To Salt Meat. The Germantown Telegraph has a famous receipt for curing bacon, beef or mutton, w Lich it publishes annually for the benefit of its readers, and it is as follows: To one gallon of water add one and a half pounds of salt, half a pound of sugar, quarter an ounce of saltpetre, and half pound of potash—|- increase the rate to any quantity de- sired—and boil these together until the impurities have arisen to the top and been skimmed off. Pour the same in- toa tub, and when cold pour it over the meat, covering the meat complete- ly with the mixture, taking care not to thus put down the meat for at least two days after killing. Some omit boil- ing the pickle and find it to answer equally as well, although it must be admitted that the boiling purifies the pickle by throwing off any impurities that may be contained in both the salt and sugar. It is said that if this re- ceipt be strictly followed it only re- quires a trial to convince any one of its superiority over the common meth- od of putting down, and the meat will be found unsurpassed for sweetness and delicacy of flavor. The potash, un- i of the purest kind, may be omit- t _— - Keeping Cabbage. W. A. Armstrong, of the Elmira Farmer's Club, says: The fussy meth- ods so often employed with potatoes after they are dug remind me that similar practices prevail with cabbages. There are persons who insist that their cabbages must be inverted, the root upward, that they will not not keep any other way. Others cut the head from the stumps and pack them with a great deal of care. th he most mee way when one has a cellar with moist bottom is to pull the cantapes as late in autum as may be safe, then take them nght to the cellar, and stand them on the roots, on moist earth, the heads leaning against the wall. In this way cabbages that have not fully formed heads will sometimes develo into good size and the heads will be more crisp, Whiter and sweeter than by any other method of preservation. Of course in pulling them, earth will be left adhering to the roots, and this should be carried in as attached. A little more loose earth, if convenient, can be thrown around the roots where they stand. With adry cellar bottom this plan is not practicable, but it will work admirable wherever the bottom is moist, not wet, just moist. Saving Apples for Winter. At a late meeting of the State Hor- ticultural Society of Kentucky, a dis cussion coming up as to the best methad of keeping apples for winter, an old member living in the neighborhood of Louisville said: “Forty years ago myself and other people living around here on both sides of the river knew very little of fruit cellars, or even_ of putting up apples in first class condi- |: tion later in the season than any that are kept around here nowadays. Our mode of keeping them was ioe ut them in banks, just as they So sthbet potatoes in the far South. We knew of no other way of keeping them, nor did we wish to know. At the proper time for harvesting our apples we pick- ed them carefully, and after having hauled them to the house we selected a spot of high, well drained land upon which to bank them. Here we scooped ont a saucer shaped bottom, upon which, after covering with an inch or xo of straw, we piled our apples, cover- ing the same with some six or eight earth to keep - the rua not unfre- quently, however, covering the whole a| with a lawer of sods to ” protect the same from vee: This was all that was done, and the apples ke ae as sound as a dollar until the next June, in case we should want to keep them that long. If we wanted access to the ples at any time during the winter, all 1 we had to do was to open a hole on the south side of the bank, take out what apples we wanted, and close up the oe Sees in as securely as before. pee Spin repeat, kept all winter as sound as a dollar, and were as crisp and juicy in the spring as when first put up. But now we are told that apples to keep well must be put in bar rels and placed in a cellar or fruit house, where they will be out of the way of the frost. Now, while I don’t want to appear “old-fogyish,” still I can’t help but think that at would be well for us all to look a little more into these old methods of doing things, many of which, besides the old mode of keeping apples above named, we might find to be the best after all.” A Boy's Ambition. Of course he means to do something for himself by und by, but he does not pose to soil his fingers with work. He 1s going to be aclerk, or a doctor, or alawyer. My cheerful young man, are you sure you know what you are talk- ing about? What do clerks earn? How much does a young doctor receive? O! but you don't mean to be a poor clerk. Yon intend to bea yreat lew yer, with ten thousand a year, or ‘a doctor with a carriage. Charmed to hear it. It isa noble resolve, but are you sure you will get there? Really, now, how cana young man tell, how can he be sure he will succeed? In this way. A man succeeds who falls in love with his work. He thinks about it day and night, he studies it; he reads all he can find on the subject. He tries and tries till he can do it well. Then itis he succeeds. You have no burn- ing desire to study this magnificent machine, the human body. You don't care very much for dreadful work in hospitals, and yet you mean to be a doctor. You would secretly much pre- fer to have a kit of caryer's tools, hee of course, you could never be a carver by trade? Let us stop here. This is the summing up of a vast deal of homely wisdom. Do you love to work ? Is there anything that, if you were independent, you would do before any- thing else? If there is—do that. There is your success; in that way lies all the money, the rewards, the respect of oth- ers, and all the real honest happiness you will ever find. Boys make a mis- take in thinking that’ only lawyers, doctors, und merchants succeed. It is a terribly blunnder to leave a trade in which you may make a first class work- man, and have achance to win a home, comfort and independence, to go into a profession you do not love. There is one end to that long road-—a life of ill-paid drudgery and failure after all. It is Unlucky. To be struck by lightning on Mon- sys o sit on a buzz-saw in motion on Friday.

It was the custom of the Jews to select the tenth of their sheep after this manner: The lambs were separated from the dams and enclosed in a sheep- cote with only one narrow way out: the dams were at the entrance. On opening the gate the lambs hastened to join the dams, and a man placed at the entrance, witha rod dipped in paint, touched every tenth lamb, and so marked it with his rod, saying, ‘Let this be holy.” Hence saith the Lord by the prophet, “I will cause you to pass under the rod.” Ezek. 20:37. To kill one fly in March is estimated to be as good a ‘work as killing 8,100,- P} 000,000 in August, the increase and multiplication of the fly population being figured as follows: One fly on the 20th of March is presented by 200 on the 24th of April; by 300 Gm 300, OUT 90,000, on the 28th of May ; by 27,000,000 on the 3d of July, Fail by 8,100,000,000 on the 8th of August.

Terrible Railroad Disaster. A TRAIN WRECKED—PASSENGERS BURN- ED ALIVE. Sr. Paut, Minn., Oct. 20.—It was nearly 6:30 o'clock last evening when the Chicago limited arrived direct feom the wreck at Rio, Wis., bringing most of the passengers who were saved. The first person to ae from the train, was the venerable Bishop Whipple, accompanied hy his wife. They were very much worn out, but beyond that, itera but little from the accident. The Bishop deseribed the scene as one of the most terrible he had ever witnessed. He said he had witnessed the burning of the cars and had done all in his power to save the sufferers, but without avail. There was no time to save anything and the shiverin poorly clad ones, who had ; were compelled to stand in the cold and watch their fellow passengers burn to death. The air was filled with the oans and cries for help of the burn- ing, mingled with stifled curses and vain pleadings for succor. These with the snap and crack of the flames, the horrible odor of burning flesh, and the hissing of steam as it escaped from the disabled locomotive, all combined to make the horrors those of an inferno, The heroism of Bishop Whipple and Mr. McGinnis, of Morris, was some- thing wonderful, working as they did to save not only the children, but others. McGinnis was only in his stocking feet, but his bravery was an example. When he got out of the sleeper he found Mrs. Scherer, her mother-in-law and her two children at one of the windows of the burning coach. The two women were pinioned down by the seats, but Mrs. Scherer assed one child to McGinnis and ishop Whipple got the other. They then attempted to liberate the women, but it was impossible. The seats held them firmly in, and the flames drove the rescuers away. Mrs. Scherer’s clothes caught fire and the flames ran up to her hair. ‘There were shrieks and groans for perhaps seven minutes and then all ceased. “They were liter- ally roasted to death before our eyes,” said Capt. Ames. At least 26 lives are now suppose to have been lost. An Old-Time Duel. From the Morganton Star, phia ‘Times says James Parton, in his Inography of Andrew Jackson, makes mention of a duel fought by General Jackson with Waightstill Avery at Jonesboro’, Tenn., in the last century. His account, however, is very meagre, and does not aceord with the version of the affair as told by descendants and relatives of Col. Avery, many of whom still live in Burke county. [In a foot-note tu page +162, chapter 14, Volume [., Parton says: “There was a comic incident connected with this duel that General Jackson would not tell. A gentleman once mentioned the duel to him. “Who told you about it?” asked the President laugh- ingly. “General Adair.” ‘Did he tell you what happened on the grounds ?” “No.” “Well then I shan't.” replied the General, still laughing.” The “comic incident” to which Gen. Jackson alluded, and which he refused t» relate, is what is understuod to have caused the duel, and is said never to have been made public. What it was and how it occurred has been related to me several times—as follow : In August, 1788, Col. Waightstill Avery and Andrew Jackson were attending court in Jonesboro’. At that time Tennessee was still a part of North Carolina, and Jonesboro’ was the seat of one of the three district courts held for the then Western district cf North Carolina. Jackson had but recently been called to the bar at the time of the duel, and was about twenty-one years of age. — Col. Avery was much older. The two gentlemen were opposing counsel in a case under trial, in which Jackson, it is said, felt that he had but little chances for success. In a spirit of mischief, prob- ably, he determined to attempt a little diversion rather unusual in a court of law. Col. Avery sometimes rode the cir- | cuit of his courts—which embraced most of Western North Carolina and a portion of Tennessee—on_ horseback, carrying in a pair of capacious saddle- bags, such articles as were necessary to his more immediate wants. One thing always carried therein was a copy of Bacon’s “Abridgement,” one of the standard law books of those days. Jackson aware that Col. Avery was in the habit of carrying this book, and on the day for trial, before their case was called, he went to Cgl. Avery's saddle bags, took out the copy of Bacon's “Abridgement,” and substituted for it | a piece of bacon of about the same size, wrapped it up as the book had been to prevent suspicion. In the course of the Sept. 3d, 186. Kighteen months ago I bought of John A. Boyden, a 2} inch Thimble Skein Pied- mont wagon and have used it pretty much | all the time and it hag proved to be a first rate wagon. Nothing about it has viven ‘away and therefore it has required no re- pairs. T. A. Waxton. trial Col. Avery, having occasion to quote an authority, sent for his book. | he package was brought to him, and when unwrapped, lo, a “flitch of bacon” stood revealed to Court and jury ! Avery was a man of great dignity of character and bearing, who could ill brook a liberty of any kind, least of all an attempt to make him appear ridicu- Sept. 8th, 1886. 18 months ago I bought of the Agent, mn Salisbury, a 2} inch Thimble Skein Piedmont wagon—their lightest one-horse wagon—TI have kept itin almost constant use and during the time have hauled on it at least 75 loads of wood and that without anybreakaye or repairs. L. R. Wess, lous. Turning to Jackson, he charged ‘him with what had been done and ‘denounced him for his act in most unmeasured terms. Jackson was stun to the quick, but apparently controlled himself sufficiently not to attract attention to what he did in response A Newbern letter to the Philadel- | SALISBURY, WN. C., NOVEMBER 4, 1886. to the rebuke. Tearing a fly leaf from a law book, he wrote a challenge which, unobserved, he passed across ies table to Col. Avery, and whieh was promptly accepted. The following is an exact copy of the original challenge which is stifl in th possession of a member of the Avery family, and from the wording of its first sentence another communication would seem to have preceeded it : “Avavst 12th 1788. “Sir When a mans feeling & char- acter are injured he ought to seek a speedy redress ; you rec'd a few lines from ime yesterday & undoubtedly you understand me. My character you Injured: and farther you have Insulted me in the presence of a court and a larg audience [ therefore call upon you as a gentleman to give me satisfaction for the same; and I further eall upon you to give me an answer immediately without Equibocation and I hope you can do without dinner until the bus- iness done; for it is consistent with the character of a gentleman when he In- jures aman to make a speedy reparation, therefore I hope you will not fail in meeting me this day, from yr obt st “Coll Avery Anpbw JACKSON, “P.S. this Mvening after court ad- journed—” The style of the challenge, its ortho- graphy, and its punctuation—or the want of it—are equally remarkable, but the demand is unmistakable, and the little “P. S.” at one side denotes great urgency. It was evdently writ- ten under great excitement, though with a strong effort at self control, and and the whole document—to use the slang of to day—‘means business.” The challenge is addressed on the back: ‘Coll’ Whitestill Avery.” It was found among Col. Avery's papers after his death carefully filed away and docketed in very business- like style: “Jackson, D. P. Duel, 1788.” The duel was fought about dusk of the day the challenge was given in a ravine near the court house in Jones- boro’. Shots were exchanged, but for- unately neither party was hurt. Jack- son declared himself satisfied and the two gentlemen afterwards became warm friends. Indeed, long before the duel, when Jackson first decided to go to the bar, he was desirous to read law under Waightstill Avery, who was very distinguished in his profession and was the first Attorney-General of the State of North Carolina. At the time of Jackson's appointment as Solicitor of the Western district of North Caro- lina—afterwards the State of Ten- nessee—-he, on his way to settle in Nashville, had visited Col. Avery at Morganton, the latter then an extreme frontier town of western North Caro- lina. The date of the challenge, Au- gust 12, 1788, is six months previous to that of the earliest letter of Jackson, February 13, 1780, which Mr. Parton says he was able to find. Waightstill Avery was the first At- torney-General of North Carolina after it had thrown off allegiance to the British Government. Col. Avery was a man of great capacity and the loftiest integrity, and his mantle has fallen upon descendants worthy of such a sire. — DD a ae How to Fight a Cold. As soon as the oppression of the chest, obstruction of the nasal ducts and unusual lassitude indicate that a “cold has been taken,” influence should at once be counteracted by the purest and oldest air available, and the patient should not stop to weigh the cost of a day’s furlough against the dangers of a chronic catarrh. In case imperative duties should interfere, the enemy must be met after dark by devoting the first half of the night to an out-door cam- paign, and the second half to an en- campment before a wide-open window. If the fight is to be short and decisive, the resources of the adversary must be short and decisive, the resources of the adversary must be diminished by a strict fast. ‘Temporary abstinence from food is the most effective, and at the same time the safest method for elimi- nating the morbid elements of the sys- tem. Towarls the end of the year a damp, sultry day—ceatarrh weather— is sometimes followed by a sudden frost, and at such times | have often found that a six hour inhalation of pure, cold mght air passages that on the following morning hardly a slight huskiness of the voice suggests the narrowness of the escape froma two week's respiratory misery. But aided by exercise outdvor air and tempera- ture will accomplish the same effect. In_ two days a resolute pedestrian can walk away from a Summer catarrh of that malignant type that is apt to defy | the half open windows. But the specific | of the movement cure is arm exercise | —dumb-bell swinging, grapple-swing | practice and wood chopping. On a cold | morning, (for, after all, there are ten Winter catarrhs to one in Summer) a: wood-shed matinee seems to reach the | seat of the disease by the air line. As: the chest begins to heave under the | stimulus of the exercise, respiration be- | comes freer as it becomes deeper and fuller, expectoration ceases to be pain- | ful, and the mucous is at last discharg- ed en masse, as if the system had only waited for the moment of encourage- ment to rid itself of the incubus. Aj catarrh can thus be broken in a single day. For the next half week the diet should be frugal and cooling. Fruit, light bread and a little cold sweet milk ‘in Brazil. is the best catarrh diet. A fast day, though, is still better. Fasting effects in a perfectly safe way what the old scltool patios tried to aceomplish by leeding; it reduces the; semi-febrile condition which accompanies every severe cold. There is no doubt that by exercise alone a _catarrh ean be gradu- ally “worked off.” But indoors is to be steep but up hill work, while air—even before the season of actual frosts—acts upon pulmonary disorders as it does upon ma arial fevers; it re- duces them to a less malignant type. A combination of three specifiers——exer- cise, abstinence and fresh air—will cure the most obstinate cold. — > —-_-_— Social Training. If you really wish to beeome a suc- cessful entertainer-—and it is a great accomplishment—it is only neceessa to throw self behind you, and to thin only of your guests, and how you can make the evening pass pleasantly for them. By so doig it will prove very pleasant to yourself, as this is one of the rules of life. If one’s early education has been neglected, and etiquette of good society has yet tobe learned, it can be surely acquired by practice. A fam- ily of sisters, or a husband and wife if so disposed, can train themselvs into the habit of receiving and entertaining guests, and can learn how to enter a room With ease, and to greet their host and hostess, or receive guests themselves. Servile imitations we would not advise; but to practice the arts of society is as de- sirvble as to practice music. The young mother can teach herself while she trains her child—not to copy the man- ners of others exactly, as the monkey copies—but to make them her own, and to wear them with a special grace be- longing to herself alone. A woman possesses a quick perception of the right tone of voice, the sweetest expression of the mouth, and the best pose of the body, and she can make them her own, if she will use her good sense in learn- ing them. It has been well said that “the quickness of woman’s intuition is an inspiration, and that she is heiress of | all the riches of the rare styles of the past, if she only desires to possess them. But to become the inheritor she must train herself to modulate her voice rightly, and to padlock her tongue care- fully, and to be pleasant when not all pleased.” It will take time to thus edn- cate one’s self, but it will pay a good dividend inthe future, for “Nature, in her productions slow, aspires By just degrees to reach perfection's height,” And the lady whose manners you so justly admire may haye attained them through long years of careful assiduity. Hospitality is enjoined upon us as a Christian duty, and every one can prac- tice it if inclined to be social, and it wall promote good feeling in the neighbor- hood and teach one to act well his part in life.——Lapies’ Journal. a ae The Incentive to Own a Home. The Manufacturer and Builder thinks that the man who is working to secure a small piece of property substitutes a new and distinct ambition for a re- mote and vague one. Day dreams about large estates and princely incomes may be very amusing, but they are not half so profitable as a vision of a lot 100 by 200, with a snug little dwelling house upon it. With this before him, a man will rise early and retire late, turning his hand cheerfully to any and every kind of work. He will havea motive for rigourous economy which will make it a pleasure. He will have the vision of AN last payment. before him as a perpetual motive to modera- tion in passions, economy in expenses, abstinence from expensive pleasures and from expensive companions. ‘Thus it will come to pass that a judicious debt, incurred at the beginning of a journeyman’s or laborer’s career, will become his good genius, watching over him, inciting him to all industry and to self-government. Every laboring man ought to own his house. The first duty of the workingman should be to convert his earnings into real estate. ee A Plague of Rabbits. First the white man took Australia, driving out the aborigimes; and then came the rabbit and drove out the white man. It would be a pity if our colonial history had yet to be written in this way. Nevertheless it was the white man who introduced the rabbit to the Australian continent, and he is now having a hard fight to hold his own with it. Premiums are in vain offered by the Governments for the in- vention of rabbit destroyers; a com- mittee of inquiry is at present inquiring into the devastations by rabits; in Vic- toria there is a rabbit department. The very causes that have made the colo- nies grow grain so wonderfully under the care of the settler are responsible for his greatest enemies, the hordes of rabbits. It is the country that “agrees with them so.” By and by some man of science may come to the colonists’ assistance. In the meantime they should take comfort from a survey of affairs There the field mice are like the sands on the sea-shore—it be- ing calculated that a single pair may increase to twenty-three thousand in ‘a year.—St. James’ Gazette. —_—_ a oo e As the soil, however rich it may be. cannot be productive without culture, so the mind without cultivation can never produce good fruit.—Senaca, Telegraphic News.

' CHARLESTON, Oct 23—The damage by the earthquake shock at Summerville yes- tesday afternoon, is much greater than at first stated. About 75 chimneys will have to come down. A number of geysers have been discovered, where oily water spouts up continually, The water has an odor similar to kerosene oil, and is accompanied by fine sand of different colors, The people of the town are thoroughly worked up a- gain, and great uneasiness is felt by all. The force of vesterday’s shock was so great that persons found it exceedingly dificult to open doors or get out toa sate locality, and some cascs are reported where persons were thrown down by the shaking. There was a slight shock in Charleston and Sum- merville st 11:35 last night but no damage was done. —— — Corrected by His Wife. The first written speech read in the United States Senate was by Isaac Hill of New Hampshire, a firm supporter of Gen. Jackson. When about half way through he suddenly lost the thread of his discourse, and stopped, evidently embarrassed. His wife, who sat in the gallery almost directly over him, com- prehended the situation, and said in a voice heard all over the Senate chamber: “Mr. Hill, you've turned over two leaves at once.” He immediately corrected his mistake and proceeded with his remarks amid a roar of laughter. A Plucky Georgia Girl. Four little children, the eldest but 11 years old, were gathering hazel nuts the other day near Atlanta, when their pet terrier began snapping at them. ‘The eldest, a girl, at once concluded that the dog was mad, and at the risk of her life, grabbed the animal by the neck and held it until her brother got a rope, made a slip knot, threw it over the dog’s head and fastened it toa tree. Then the girl threw the dog from her and ran. The terrier proved to be a genuine ease of hydrophobia.— New York Sun “ Women can do a great deal of talk- ing with their eyes,’ says a Plnladel- phia editor, who has evidently stepped on a beauty’s dress in a crowded ball- room.—Omaha World.

The time has come and yet there is nothing dune. In truth it looks as if it was never any part of the Doc- tors intention todo any work, and yet it is hard to understand why a man afflicted as he is, should have put him- self to 30 much trouble and expense for so little purpose. It is these miserable schemes on paper which destroy the confidence of the public. Our people are heartily tired of such and are dle- termined to give bragyots and blow~ hards a wide berth in fature. <b> - The Atlantic and Southwestern R. R. Col. Risley and contractor Bilheim- er, of the Atlantic and Southwestern railroad were here a few days this week. They have just returned from the western end of the line and report reat enthusiasm all along the line. he surveyors have passed Wilkesboro and are pushing on in the direction of Cook's gap. The counties of Ashe, Stanly and Montgomery voted on the question of appropriating $100,000 each on last Tuesday. All of the other coun- ties, except Brunswick, which has al- ready voted $100,000 to the scheme, have ordered elections, calling for coun- ty subscriptions. [ichmond will vote on $150,000; Davie $190,000; Wilkes $150,000 and Ashe $100,000. Rowan will vote on asubseription of $100,000. The CountyCommissioners have order- ed the election. We have no fear but that Rowan will come squarely up to expectations whea the time comes for action. As it now stands, every coun- ty from the Atlantic ocean to Cook’s gap has acted in the matter. Our peo- ple are kindly alive to the importance of the scheme and will not be slow in showing their hand when the time comes. Mr. Bilheimer has made a pro- ition, which ‘I'heo. F. Kluttz, lsq.., the attorney of the road, will submit tothe people. Itis this: thatif the county of Rowan will subseribe $100,- 000 and the town of Satsbury 3100,- 000 that the Railroad Company will make Salisbury the business center of the road by establishing here theeoffices of the company and also the wood and machine shops necessary for building and repairing of all the Co’s rolling stock, and all other general business. They agree to begin work within six months from the Ist of January next, and to complete the work to the west- erp border of Rowan within two years from that date, and to keep the road in contingeus working from the time it reaches Salisbury, otherwise the obli- jon to pay over a remaining amount of the subscription money, retained for that purpose, will be null and void. This is a proposition worth the consid- eration of our people. To have this int the center of operations will be worth a great deal to those engaged in business here. It will not only largely jncrease the business of the place but awill result in giving Salisbury a freight rate which will defy competition. There are other advantages to be gained which need not be dwelt upon. | Stanly county has voted $160,000 to the At. &S.W.R.R. Good!

Thisis but a natural-reanit of the admirable ad- ministration of public affairs during the past two years, and it points with encouraging assurance of Democratic victory in 1888. An honest adminis- tration of public affairs, without any sectional distinctions, is after all, the strongest government and will have the approval of the people, The Demo- cratic ship has ope enemy aboard which must be. thrown to the whale.

A much better and larger exposition could be inaugurated, which would include live stock, poultry and even a season for trotting matches.

From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 30, 1886. It is remarkable but true that the Gov- ernment offices of the United States, here and elsewhere, with their 130,000 em- ployes, are going on in their work with industry aud regularity, This state of things is unparalleled. It has had no ex- istence except in the dreams of enthusi- asta. But to make the surprise more sur- was considered a! prising, this reform has brought about by the unredeemed and unredeemable, too utterly unspeakably: bad Democrats. Has the tongue of Radieal haranguer Jost its, lubricity? Have the fictions with which, be was.wont to rally the rural repablican become threadbare? Why is this thus? What mean these moss grown stumps, DO longer pressed by the number nines of frontier Blaineites? Where is our once untamed and rampant for bread and but- ter Repulican oratorical mendacity? Come with me reader, and you shall sce him. Here he sitsin the Patent Office exam- ining an application fora patent ona churn or bustle or an improved baby walker. There he is in the Pension Ottice, hard at legitimate work under Democratic Commissioner Black, who with a smaller force passed many more nsion cases than Republican Dudley, is predecessor. You see him in the Treasury Department, in the Land Office the Indian Office the Postoffice Depart- ment—everywhere hard at work. How tame he looks. He will not hurt you. His malign energy is scotched. -There is a restless pent-up-ness about him. It seem abnormal to him to be confined to honest work during a political campaign, but he will get used to it; it will not kill him, By and by the novel idea that he paid to work for the United States and not for the Republican party will take root in the worn soil of his moral sense. His innocuous political dessuctude will be a blessing to the country. What wonderful changes have taken place in twenty months. They have over- meus like a summer cloud, not dark and portentious, but big with salubrious showers. Twenty months ago, the property own- ers in Washington were despondent. It was predicted that a Democratic President would dismiss all the office holders, that five thousand owners of homes in Wash- ington would have to sell at a loss, and that a fall in real estate would follow. The result has been the reverse of that predicted. Instead of wholesale dismis- sals, only the idle, the incompetent and dissipated were cast out. The health, the moral tone and efficiency of the pub- lic servieo was greatly improved. An improvement in real estate and in gen- eral business followed as a natural result The Government employee and his de pendants, who compose fully one half the population of Washington, no longer feel that their living depends upon po- litical parties. He has becomea changed man—imore respected by others, having more respect for himself. His credit is better, and now, instead of selling his home, he holds it at » higher price. Hun- dreds who have heretofore rented pro- perty or lived in boarding houses, are uying and building. One more term of honest Democratic Administration will place the National Capital on the solid ground of assured prosperity. It will re- quire another term to enable the tree of political life which Cleveland has plant- ed and watered, to take root and bear fruit. Should Blaine or Logan or Sher- man come in two years hence, it would aurely be uprooted, I believe that a large Majority of office holders here are no longer Republican. They enjoy a security under civil service reform that they have never known before, and they are compelled> to sce every day the improvements which the Cabinet officers and the heads of divisions under Mr, Cleveland have introduced. They are not harrassed day and night with the reflection that unless they assist in the re-election of this member of Con- gress or that Senator, they will lose his influence, and lose their bread and butter. ><>: The Indian Territory. T MLEQuAH, I. T., Oct. 20.—Yesterday Johu Ingraham, alias Ward, who has been living with his uncle about eight miles west of this place for the past four months, was mortally wounded by ofti- cers who went to arrest him, he making a desperate resistance. Ingraham was wanted in Charleston, Swain county, N. C., for murdering a man named Welch about a year ago. The murder is said to have been a cold-blooded one. The North Carolina sheriff learning of his where- abouts wrote to our sheriff a few days ago giving a description and name of Ingraham and stated that $500 reward was offered tor his capture and delivery. Yesterday morning our sheriff, already knowing where the man was, summoued a posse to go and arrest him. They reach- ed the place a little before day but could get no chance on the man as he did not sleep in the house they supposed he was in, but about sunup he showed himself going to the field to plow with a shooter belted around him and a Winchester rifle on his shoulder. The officers waited in ambush until he began to plow, leav- ing his Winchester in the corner of the fence. He plowed across tho field to the opposite side with his sixshooter around him to where the officers were lying in wait for him, and as he was turning a row they ordered him to surrender, when he replied: ‘No, Pll be d—d if I do,” and put his hand on his pistol to draw it when the officers fired on him with fatal -leffect, wounding him by one shot going through his side and another breaking hisarm. After this had been done Ingra- ham tried to shoot with his strong hand and made attempts at resistance until he was finally exhausted and overpowered. The sheriif of North Carolina writes that he was a bold, desperate man. New Counties. Already the people in certain sections are beginning in the matter of making new counties, There are now 96 counties, which are at least 30 too many. If people knew how costly the erection of new counties was they woutd not be so wil- ling to favor it. A few men with axes to grind get together and fix up their tricks for securing anew county. They have lands te sell, or some business schemes at stake, and they make specious represen- tations of the great benefit to follow, and the people who will sign anything sign petitions, and the legislators are impor- tuned, and if nothing else will do unwar- ranted decisions are made and strange appliance are brought to bear and the end is gained in the face of the fact that really po new county is needed and taxes will be increased. New York has six millions of inhabitants and only some fifty counties. North Carolina has 1,600,- 000 inhabitants and 96 counties. There are counties in the State that pay very little of the public taxes. There are counties that are too poor to erect good crease of counties. More sherifis, more clerks, more Officials generally, more Judges, &c,, with more counties. There have been counties formed in Neg.h Carolina that brought no good to the people, but evil. Thus far we have seen two moyements mentioned to make new counties, We hope that legislators from those connties in the State not inter- ested in this unnecessar¥ movement will see to it that no harm is done by an in- crease of taxes, and that useless new counties are not formed.

For even the hardiest varieties I am satisfied it will be benefit to cut them loose from the trellis and let them lie down. In every instance through my vineyard just now I notice that these canes which lie on the ground during the winter are freshest and bear the most bunches. For more than a quarter of acentury we have advised this practice of laying vines on the surface of the ground du- ring winter, even without any covering, as Gee of much benefit even to the hardiest kinds of grapes. Any person having a few grape vines where severe frosts occur, may become convinced of the advantages of protection from freez- ing winds by one winter's experiment with a portion of the plants, or even the branches of the same plant. The great desideratum with many is to procure what are termed iron-clad varieties of fruiting plants. It is perfectly proper to endervor to procure the hardiest kinds, provided they are equally valuable with varieties somewhat more tender, but it is not advisable to discard finer kinds simply because they need some slight protection during the winter.—Rural World. - ma ogo- Seed Wheat—Effect of Climate.

Druggist, Avent. J. 1. Enniss It is observed that the marriageable girls talk horse because it is the lan- guage of the grcom. — Ti/-Bits, |fore, a serious one to those who have /“got out of seed,” as well as to others. |The idea used to prevail extensively | that seed wheat should be sought from }the wheat fields north of the locality |wWhere it is to be sown, because it is presumed the crop would be more cer- |tain if produced from seed grown in a | section where wheat culture is more | uniformly successful. The idea is plausi- ble on first view, but does not accord with the experience of the most ob ‘Servant farmers nor with the laws | which govern climatic influences, with ‘Tespect of rapidity of development and jearly maturity of seeds sown, in both |cases, at the close of one summer sea- son and which attain maturity at the ; opening of the next. We all know that seeds of cotton, corn, tender gard- jen vegetables, and other plants which | cannot stand frost and must be plant- ‘ed in the spring, when obtained from a more northerly clime, will usually ma- ture their product earlier than seed of home-growth. This is due to the ef- fect of habit which has been impressed upon the plant as an_ instinct by the | Necessities of a shorter season of growth jin the more northern locality. Cotton, ;corn, or any of the class of plants above indicated, are directly amenable [to this law, and will generally reach | maturity earlier in any given locality lif the seed be procured from further north. The same principle applies to wheat and other hardy plants, but the condi- t1on of planting being radically differ- ‘ent, we should expect opposite, yet ‘entirely consistent results. Wheat is pone sown—even as far north as llinois and Ohio—in the fall of the year, and the earliness of seeding is ac- cording to latitude. Hence, north of ius the period of seed time to harvest is jgreater, and the habit of the plant is conformed thereto. Therefore we ought not to be surprised to find that winter wheat seed from Maryland or Ohio, or even Tennessee, will not ripen so early as the same variety that has been long grown in a more southern latitude. But the case is different when we use northern spring wheat seed. In this case the conditions are the same as for corn, cotton, etc. The conclusion, therefore, is reached that we may reas- ,onably expect to get an earlier variety | ,of wheat from the extreme northwest —say in Minnesota or Dakota—where the crop is invariably sown in April or May and harvested in August, occupy- ing the field for a period of only 90 to 110 days. Of course, to realize this benefit, the seed wheat from such far northern localities should be sown at our usual time of sowing in the fall. The writer remembers that when he was a boy his father tried the experi- ment of growing northern spring wheat but without success, because, as now believed, he sowed in the spring in- stead of the fall and the plants missed the longer, hotter days of June, July and August to which the previous crops had been accustomed. As a rule other things being equal, a plant re- quires a certain amount of sunshine and heat to mature acrop within a given time; and the longer the days, and therefore the more sunshine avail- able, the more rapid will be the growth and development. In the extreme northwest the days during the period of wheat growth, June, July and August, are much longer and warmer than the corresponding period, March, Apnil and May, in the South.—South- ern Cultivator. Mr. Calvin Baker of Hickory town- ship, Catawba county, during the sea- son just past cut and threshed from two acres of land 59 bushels of wheat and seven bushels of clover seed. Counting one bushel of clover seed as equal to six bushels of wheat, the entire crop was equal to 101 bushels of wheat. Or putting a money value on the crop, and estimating the wheat at 90 cents per bushel and the clover seed at $5.40 per bushel, the entire crop was worth $90.90 or $45.45 per acre, besides the wheat straw and clover hay. We reported a few weeks ago a yield of seventy-two bushels and one-half from atwo acre lot in Buncombe county, cultivated by Capt. Fagg. Although Mr. Baker's yield of wheat is less hy thirteen and a half bushels, yet the money value of his crop, ineluding the oc seed, is much greater.—/lickory ress, Farmers’ Club. FORM OF CONSTITUTION AND BY-Laws, Constitution. This club shall be known as the Farmers’ Club of ——— Township. Its object shall be to improve the con- dition of the farmers and promote the cause of Agriculture. Its officers shall consist of a Presi- dent, Vice-president and Secretary and Treasurer, who shall be elected for the term of one year. It shall be the duty of the President to presile at all seralir or called meet- ings of the Club, and to announce the order of business. In his absence the Vice-President shall preside. In the absence of both, the Club may elect a temporary Chairman. It shall be the duty of the Secretary to keep a record of the proceedings of the club, and carry on such correspon- dence as the Club may direct. In addition to the officers there shall be an Executive Committee consisting of three or more members, as the Club may determine, to transact business ap- pertaining to the Club. Applications for membership must rgade by petition, endorsed by one or more members of the Club. Such petition shall be referred to a commit- tee, who will report at the next regular meeting, when avote may be had upon the petition, a majority of the Club, not of those present simply, being neces- sary to elect to membership. No one shall be eligible to member- ship unless practically engaged in Ag- riculture. permet wives and daugh- ters may be elected as honorary mem- bers. There shall be no initiation or other fee charged. All necessary expenses shall be defrayed by proportionate assessment or by voluntary eontribu- tions, as the Club may decide. The President, Vice-president and Secretary shall be ex-officio representa- tive members of the Club to ibe Coun- ty Club, when such is organized, and shall have full power to vote and act for the Club, unless the Club shall de- cide to elect other members as such representatives, The Club shall have power to draft by-laws for government. The constitution may be amended by giving two months’ notice of the amendment proposed in writing, but no amendment shall be carried without a two-thirds vote of the members of _the Club. BY-LAWS. I. The meetings of the Club shall be held once a month (or oftener) at such time and place as the Club may direct. Special: meetings may be called by the Executive Committee if deemed ad- visable. II. The order of business shall be: 1. Calling the roll. 2. Reading minutes of preceding meeting. 3. Election of new members. 4. Report of committees. 5. Unfinished business. 8. New business. 7. Election of officers. III. Elections shall be by ballot, the tellers appointed by the President, and those candidates receiving the largest number of votes. as counted Lefore the Club, shall be declared elected. IV. After the regular business, the club may hear discussions, essays or addresses upon Agriculture, but no re- ligious or political discussion will be permitted, or nothing calculated to mar the harmony of the Club. V, Seven members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of busi- ness, Each member will have the right to express his views fully upon any sub- ject under discussion, but must do so courteously and not indulge in rudeness. Breach of courtesy will subject the offender to reproof, and if persisted in, he may be expelled by a vote of the Club. An expelled member cannot re- gain admission under one year. Every member should feel it his duty to advance the interests of his fellow members, and of his brother farmers, giving such aid and council as they may seek, when in his power to do so.

On hill and brake and rushing tide, And city’s loftly spire, And silver stream and vatley wide— The home of son and sire— With tircleas wing and swelling heart, Which naught around nay stay, I'll burst these cords and chain apart, And seck thee far away.

There has been none of that activity im polities among revenue offi- cers this year which used to so disgust the people. Lhey have not been the higheoekolorums of the Democratic conventions; they have not been gallop- ing about the country on political er- rands: they have not been elubbing those of the opposite political faith; they were not seen, ‘Tuesday, corraling voters, collaring reluctant ones and leading them up to the polls. = Mr. Linney and the old man in his: shirt sleeves have both been proven to have been right.

The pocket, sustained by two bones, which the echidna carries under its belly. would seem to indieate affini- , ty with the kangaroo or didelphis (opos- sun). The exceedingly long snout resembles in form, and the I bird's beak. The bonesof the cranium Hike those of birdy, are early united by jsutares, whieh disappear without leav- Ing any traces. The following char- |acteristics may also be noted: The | breastbone frush, the dijestive organs and genito-urinaries leading to a com- mon orifice, and,in the case of the [femiale, the atrophy of the gemital | organs on the right side. The internal |organs—those which are least suscep- | tible of modification under the influence of external conditions—indicate an in- disputable affinity with the bird tmbe; but on the other hand, the echida, like the ornithorynchus, which it resembles in many traits of its organization, has an udder, "This, as well as the hairs which cover its body, and the form of | | malia. The echidna, them, belongs alike to the mamifers and bird tribe. About 1830 there appeared drawings and descriptions of the egg of the ormi- thoryneus, but, until within a few years, naturalists have remained in doubt on the subject. In 1Sst Mr. Caldwell, sent fo Australia for the pur- pose of studying the production and development of these interesting ami- mals, rediscovered the eggs of the or- nithorynehus, and this discovery ap- peared to him of suflicient importance to warrant his apprising brother natur- wists in Harope of the fact by the costly means of the submarine cable. Almost at the same time Dr. Haacke, director of the South Australian Mu- scum, made a similar discovery concern- ing the echidna. The co-existence, 1 the same animal, of characteristics be- longing to differeat groups, puzzled old naturalists, who had, hitherto, only been acquainted with types of orgami- gation clearly defined, and entirely separate and distinct from each other. In virtue of these preconceived ideas, to deny the existence of the udder of the echidna. The synthetic forms which new dis- coveries render every day more nunier- seen, by the theory evolution. Yhey unite in themselves groups whose bodily shapes or external charac- teristics would seem to separate them widely from one another. . W.M.

The vote of Stanly county in appro- jating $100,000 to the Atlantic aad igeates railroad, was within less than 100 votes of being unanimous. It was only 89 votes behind the high- est man on the ticket. This is signifi- eant in that it showns the faith of the Stanly le in the road, and more im ¢ still, in demonstrating their knowledge of the necessity of railroads in building up a county. They say in unmistakable terms we want a railroad and we are willing to help pay for it. This action displays progress and a de- termination to grow beyond the present confines and disadvantages of a back- woods market. Rowan may learn a lesson here. We are not destitute of advan but are so hampered by ex- eewive freight charges, that we are at the mercy of the ruilroads. Railroads sre corporations. Corporations have no souls, consequently cannot exercise mercy. That's about the size of it. The people of Rowan need a competing jine. The Atlantic and Southwestern offers to supply it. They intend to build a road some where near us. The uestion for our people is a simple one. Do you wish the road to pass through Rowan? Then vote your sentiments when the question comes up. The pro- road will pass through the coun- ty, entering near Gold Hill, coming to isbury, and going out near South River post office. It will thus give us as complete cross-fire on freights and will give Salisbury the cheapest freight rate to be had in the State. Let the farmers talk this matter over. They can readily see the advan- to be derived from a competing Jine of railroad. The qnestion must be decided by the votes of the people of Rowan. The WatcuMan will be Jad to have some expression of opin- on from the farmers on this subject. ~———~e- — — Charles R. “The battle that we waged for the people will be fought over, and it will win.” This, politically speaking, is the “post mortem” statement of the de- feated democratic disorganizer. Pro- fessing to be a democrat, he labored with might and main to defeat his party. Failing in this he continues to aunt himself, in the attitude of a dis- organizing element, within the lines of the party he opposes. He virtually announces to the democrats who sup- rt his paper that he will continue in the fight and hopes to overthrow the y eventually. Now no one ques- ions Chas. R's mght to his political convictions, and no one should “molest or make him afraid,” at the same time Democrats should henceforth consider him as fairly and sincerely pledged in opposition to their party, and treat him accordingly. I[t is a matter of no im- rt to us, except a desire to have things called by their proper names. In this case there should he no exception. “WE WAGED FUR THE PEOPLE.” That is significant. The people are 80 unappreciative. They do not know what is best for them. Had they known, the battle would not have to be fought over. The people of Wil- mington seem very ignorant of what is best for them, Charles H.,a vote, This is naturally the The yoen love appreciation and stimulated | by it will work the harder.

The indepen- dents were nearly all democrats, and while they were not elected by demo- crats, are still very apt to act with them on all leading questions. It will be close work however, and the situa- tion may impair the usefulness of that body, in a measure. The Senate upon the House, so that no harm can come, iff the event that the liberals act with the republicans. ee The democrats of North Carolina must arouse from the lethargy which has characterized their action in the late election. They have allowed petty side issues to come between them and their party and have thus weakened and reduced the party. Are they willing to sacrifice the old party for naught? Are they willing to turn over the affairs of State into the hands of the republican party? Voting for any of the side issues in North Carolina can- not mean anything else than voting for the republican party. Two years hence the issues will be of more import and will determine the politics not only of the State but of the United States. The recent elections should serve asa lesson, and point all true democrats to the line of duty. The Judges Safe. Last Saturday and Sunday there were reports circulated to the effect that the democratic Judges had been defeated. It caused much astonishment on all sides and made some monstrous long faces in this community, but the rumors were false, and were probably circula- ted by the republicans asa joke to frighten the people. The majority of the democratic Judges will not fall he- low ten thousand votes. This is shame- fully small. The democrats must not be so confident. Over-contidence came nearer defeating us this year than the repubiteans could have done. Rowan, we are glad to say, was pretty well or- ganizedjand turned out better than the people did generally throughout the State. If each county had done as did Rowan, then there would have been no room for doubts of any kind. Three cheers for the democrats of old Rowan! ——_— —_ —_~<-—_ Is the Guano Tax Just? If so, then Bauch & Sons, of Phila- delphia, Baltimore and Norfolk, are just as Hable as any other manufactur. er of fertilizers, who send their pro- duets into North Carolina. These peo- ple are violators of the State law. They deliver fertilizers by the car load to individuals who distribute it to neigh- bors; they solicit the trade of the regu- jlar dealers in the State and they are doing business in the State, but avoid jthe payment of the State tax. True, jtheir goods have been seized a_ few , times, but this is not enongh. Those in authority should see that they pay the tax. Proof of their guilt may be fhad right here in Salisbury, and the WaTcCHMAN can put inquirers in the way of getting it. Treat all alike.

The recent elections have caused great surprisein political circles in Washington. It will be necessary to go back to the year 1874 to tind anything comparable in interest to the upheaval in Congressional districts in many of the states this year. The control of the fiftieth Congress should have been secured by the party opposed to the adininistration, according to the law of political forces, and follow- ing the almost unbroken line of precedent in our political history. But the fact is that the Democrats in spite of losses sufficient to have given the Republicans the majority, have yet made gains in such ynlooked for places, as to retain control of the House. Yhe orderly and peaceful manner too in which the elections were conducted in the Southern States, with here and there Republican gains in Congressmen in that section, ought to bury foreyer the last tattered remnant of the bloody shirt. Not a single complaint of intimidation or violence has come from any district and Messrs. Blaine’s and Sherinan’s oceupa- tion is consequently gone. Politicians here are still talking about the result of the elections, and it is inter- esting to hear their various comments. They all agree that politics are uncertain. Some attribute Democratic losses to the fact that Democrats have not enough offices under the Administration, while other shold that if they had gotton fewer offices they would have elected more Con- gressmen. This last idea is upon the ground that it is impossible to dispense patronage to the satisfaction of everybody. Ihe only way to be without enemies is to be without power. The man who has no favors to give makes no enemies; but he cannot bestow patronage on the few with- out making enemies of the many who expect and are disappointed. Another common explanation of the apathy among Democratic voters is that they thought they had so sure a thing of it that they abstained from voting. The latter is Spewker Carlisle’s opinion with regard to his own case, He says he has frequently warned his constituents that they would waken up some fine morning and find some one else elected to Congress in his place all on account of their staying away from the polls, "Lhey seem to think,” he added “that Lam sure to be elected whether anybody votes for me or not.” It must be gratifying to the Speaker to know of the sentiments ex- pressed by Republicans as well as Demo- crats when it was believed that he had been defeated. © Even ultra Republicans here acknowledged that his loss te Congress would be a national calaniity. He is such a broad, high-minded states- man that his political enemies cannot fail to respect and revere him as an exemplar. While he is a straight-out, consistent party man, he deals honestly and_ fairly with his opponents and all they hays ever dared to charge against him was the crime of being a democrat. Although a speaker for the fiftieth Congress will not be chosen for more than a year, the canvass for it will actiyely begin at the approaching session and con- sequently it is a subject of immediate in- terest. As the Democrats will have a safe working majority in that Congress itis gertain, Tom Reed, the Republican jJeader from Maine, will not name its committees as was predicted before the official counts came in. Amid their losses the friends of ‘‘ Free Trade”’ take some consolation from the fact that one of the most eminent of all the revenue reformers has received an en- dorsement at the hands of the people of New York of which any man has reason to feel proud, 1k i» to be regretted that Sugar has many uses, but when- it| such a man as~Abram 8. Hewitt should be lost to the House of Representatives. He was especially distinguished for his clear and practical views and for his readiness to accept reasonable conces- sions from opponents. Mr. Hewitt will not resign his seat in Congress until some time in January. <=> The. State Ticket. The first district pives Blount, democrat, 1260 majority over Sparrow; the same coun- ties gave Latham a majority of 1150. We assume that the majority of the democratic judicial ticket in that district will be 1000. The second district yives a republican majority of about 5000. The third district gives a democratic ma- jority of about 5000. The fourth district gives a republican ma- jority of 575. The fifth district gives a republican ma— jority of 75. . The sixth district gives a democratic ma- jority of about 3500. The seventh district gives a democratic majority of 2600. The eighth district gives a democratic majority of 4100. The ninth district gives apparently 900 republican majority. The tenth district gives a democratic majority of 2700. The eleventh district gives a democratic majority of 8000. We estimate on avery meacre intelligence that the twelfth gistrict will give a demo- cratic majority of 2000. On this showing the democratic majority in the Suate will be 18,100.—News and Ob- server, i - 2 ee TURNER'S N.C. ALMANAC FOR 1887. We have received from James Hf. Enniss.

Editor of the Watchman, Sir:—My at- tention has been directed to an item in your last issue, which states that I have opened a “denominational — school,” which is “probably under the auspices of the Church of the Sacred Heart.” I beg to say that both these statements are mistakes. My school is private, but in no sense “denominational,” Tam a catholic, but religion is not one of my branches of instruction; neither is the school in any respect ‘Sunder the auspices of the Church of the Sacred Heart,” but is an entirely individual un- dertaking.

Died very suddenly and unexpectedly Friday morning Nov. 5th 1886, near Muochville, Mrs. Mary J. C., wife of Amos A. Bostian, aged 35 years and 8 months. The deceased worked hard the day be- fore her death, and sat up knitting rather late that evening, providing stockings for her large family of small children. She Was up with her baby at 3 a.m. and when at 4:50 her husband arose for the day's work, he found that his wife had died at his side while he slept, unconscious of the presence of death. She was a good christian woman, and leaves a husband with seven children to realize their loss. “Prepare to meet their God.” WAS Lurz, ee The Man About the Country. Editors Watchman:—The reeent rains will enable the farmers to complete their Wheat sowing. The crop sown will nee- essarily be small. In the first place, the season was so dry, very little land could be turned, and then nearly all wheat sprouted in the field before it was thresh- ed, consequently, good seed wheat is very scarce, It will be well for farmers to sow largely of spring oats to make up for the shortage in the wheat crop. There are more partridges (quails) in the country than the writer has ever seen before. A person in walking in al- inost any direction, will scare up several covies Ina short time, but as yet, the young birds seem to be quite small, and it is wasteful to kill them just now, £n- passant. We note that many farmers have their lands posted against bird shoot- ers, &e. Of course, any sensible person ought to know that this is done as a protection against the hoards of Northern sportsmen who usually come South at | this season to shoot, and not to keep one’s neighbors off our lands, but yet, there are always a set of God-forsaken busy bodies in every community who make it a point to go around and tear down and deface all such posters. They little know the danger of such conduct, as it is a positive violation of the law, and subjects the perpetrator to unpleasant conse- quences. There is already a law on our Statute sooks whieh forbids the sale or purchase of seed or lint cotton, in less quantities than a bale, between the hours of sun set and sun rise. This isa wise and a just law, so far as it goes,but it ought to be so famended by our next legislature as to embrace corn, wheat, flour, beef, pork, bacon, and indeed all commodities of like kind, ineluding poultry. The object and necessity for such a law will be obyious to any thinking mind. There is always a class, (generally ten- ants) who are hard run to make a living, by simply taking their just share of the crops, and many of them do not seruple at taking anything from their landlords that they ean lay their hands on, and | trade it off for whiskey or something to feat. There is, above all, one class of (traders who ought not to be allowed to | trade for or buy any of the above named ) commodities either at night or in the day itime. We allude, of course, to liquor dealers and grog-shop keepers. Itisa lamentable fact, but none the less true, that there is and perhaps al- ways will be, an unfortunate class, who, if they could not get liquor otherwise, would sell their clothes to obtain the means to do so. Such persons, of course, would not hesitate to take their landlord's cotton, corn, or anything else, and trade it in small lots to saloon keepers for whiskey. | * *© + THE MAN ABOUT THE CouNtRY. ————~< FACTS WORTH KNOWING, Tn all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be nou-irrttaling, The medical profession has been slow to learn this.

Our fellow citizen, whose name is at the head of this article is a remarkable man. He was born in Cabarrus county, in the year 1822 and is now in his 64th year. llis carly life was much like that of the illustrious Chieftain President Ulyssus 8. Grant. He, like Grant, is of humble birth; his early struggles in the world will com- pare with those of the great Military President. In his youth he was not ro- bust, but like all great men, he made his mark, at the woodpile chopping pine knots. preparing fiel to cook the homely breakfast for the household, or preparing pine faggots fur light, by which, in the dead hours of night he could pursue his studies to prepare himself to grapple with the stern duties of statesimanship that loomed before his vision, but owing to his modest and retiring habits were ever just in sight, but beyond his reach. He like other heroe’s in their early days, plodded on in obscurity—sometimes selling pure and unadulterated liquor (wholesale and retail, or both,) administering spiritual comfort to thirsty humanity now and again serving his country in’ the po- sition of policeman, until the outbreak of the great interstate war. That great struggle developed the wonderful mili- tary abilities of the man, that had so long slumbered. He, at once offered his servi- ces to his country, which were promptly accepted and he was clothed with the star of military oflice under the Confederate governmcut. He rose-to high command second only to the President of the South- ern Confederacy. Gen. Beauregard, the commander of the Southeastern division of the Southern nation at one time while in the city of Charlotte lowered his vizier, and surrendered at the mandate of his superior, Long, and followed him, under arrest to headquarters, a prisoner, After the cruel war was over he like Grant in antebellia days, went into the leather business, he was a “tanner.” A- gain fora time he sank into obscurity, and struggled with his tanning, and slow paying debtors until, tired of his tan-yard life, he sold out. And then for employ- ment, and recreation busied himse'f trading in leather and hides, and farming sometimes a tobacco patch, and occasionally, tor pleas- or profit, selling as an auctioncer, the chat- tles of his tricnds, particularly such chattles as sore back mules, and blind horses, of those of his fellow citizens who had mort- gaced them for rations to merchants. The all the dazzling brightness of a statesman, and his long pent up hopes are realized. Next winter unless some hideous Guiteau, lis voice will be heard in the Hall of the Capitol of his state. He has won the fanie for which his ardent soul thirsted with a zeal that could not be suppressed. A great future is still before hith. The seat the great Military tanner President, is within the vsasp ofthe tanner hero of Cabarrus county. When he reaches the Presidential chair he will reward his Cabarrus county friends with offices and honors. When his oflicial career is ended, he will emulate the great Ullysses, and smoke up acancer, and die honored and lamented, a Model police soldier, Legislator, and the President of the greatest nation in the world.— Concord Legister.

Recently some very rich ore has been Gold Hill. Prof. Crampton, the new English Superintendent feels much en- couraged with the development so far. Mr. Wm. Tragilles, one of the promoters and also one of the stock holders, has been at the mines for several months, and he is also encouraged. The plan now is to seek lower down for new ground. The deep shaft is now about 800 feet and they are still sinking. They are also sinking in other new ground and will continue to open new ground until a sufficient amount of ore is in sight to justify start- ing reduction mills and amalgamators, without the possible contingency of stop- page for want of pay ore. The Gold Hill mines are the deepest and oldest in this section and their successful working must have an encouragiug influence on mining in this region. The theory is that by the present mode of treatment the mine must again take its place in the lead of the gold producers of the State. It will also demonstrate the advisability of deep min- ing in the South. Heretofore, but little, if any deep mining has been conducted in the South, and to this cause has been charged many of the failures which have been chronicled. The stoppage of work in the lower levels of the Comstock, has affected other deep mining on the Pacific slope,butit is not likely to influence operations in the east for some time to come, for the reason that the eastern mines have from 1800 to 2500 feet to go before reaching an equal depth with the deep mines of the west. Should deep mining pay here as it has in the West, then it will be no exaggeration to say that the Virginias, Carolinas and Georgia offer an entirely new ficld for deep min- ing. For this reason the sinking at the Gold Ilill mines becomes of general interest in the South Atlanite States. GEM MINING IN THE WEST. The affairs of the Marion Bullion Co., who are operating on a large scale in McDowell county, N. C., are in a pros- perous condition. Hon. Thos. J. Edge, president, and Col. 1H. C. Demming, Secy., and general manager, both of Harrisburg Pa., have just returned from a trip to the mines. They have found selenite, suit- able for gem purposes. Selenite is sul- phate of lime in crystaline form, and takes its name from a resemblance in luster tothe moon. This may be added to the already large number of gem stones found by this company. They have in their collection purple amethyst; smoky amethyst; quartz crystals; smoky quartz enclosing asbestos filaments; quartz en- closing actinolite, prochlorite, dolomite, chlorite and other rare minerals; emer- alds; aquamarines ; chrysoberyls; rutile wine red, almandine and pyrope garnets; opalescent and rose quartz; jasper; calce- dony; hyacinth ruby (limpid red zircon,) and agreat many others. It is quite probable that this company may at an early day begin the manufacture of jew- elry exclusively from North Carolina gold, set with North Carolina gems. Such an enterprise would be unique and should be remunerative. In mentioning the Hoover Hill mines, the WATHHMAN has alluded to Mr. Hart as Sup’t. That gentleman has charge of the gold mill and machinery, and is a thor- oughly competent manager in this branch of the work. Mr. Secrest has charge of the general business and Mr. J. Parkin has general charge of the mines. Since Supt. Frenchville has been absent, the mines have been under the control of Directors at London. See advertisement of a paying mine for The Reynolds is a valuable prop- erty and this is a capital chance for an sale. investment which will prove reuumer- ative. COS EE Greatly Excited. Not a few of the citizens of Salisbury have recently become greatly excited over the astonishing facts, that several of their friends who had been pronounced by their physicians as incurable and beyond all hope —suffering with that dreadful monster con- sumption—have been completely cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump- tion, the only remedy that does positively cure all throat and luug discases, Coughs, Cold, Asthma and Bronchitis.

There is great excitement at New London, O. over the fact that one of the public wells of water has turned into a well of vinegar. Mr. Carney, a gentleman in the employ of a boot and shoe firm, went to the well as usual one morning recently to get water for sprinkling the floor of the store, and in pumping saw that the water had a pe- euliar red color, but thought nothing about it until he drew some to drink. He took a good swallow of it, and found that he was nearly strangled. Others tasted of it, and the news soon spread to all pa:ts of the city, and in a short time the citizens were flocking to ‘the well and carrying home what seem- ed to be a good quality of vinegar. One enterprising grocery firm here has already filled 100 barrels with it, and proposes to put iton sale. Farmers afe coming in from all partsof the country and taking home with them thousands of gallons. What seems more surpris- ing is the fact that the How of vinegar ‘is greater than the flow of water. The earth wave on the night of August 31 was felt very perceptably here, and all attribute the phenomenon to the con- vulsion of nature. errr Expecting Cash. A brother publisher said to us the other day that he recently received a letter from a magistrate saying that he thinks he can collect the subscription hills in his neighborhood, because a number of the delingnents have joimed the chureh. We have to confess that after over thirty years experience, we are a “doubting Thomas.” A religion that would cause men to pay their debts would be a valuable factor in the uewspaper business, and would be wel- comed by publishers who are constantly victimized by all classes of men from alleged Christians to pronounced infi- dels.

[Baltimore Manufacturers’ Reeord.] One of the most potent factors in the present activity in the iron trade is the very large railroad construction in progress. A few months ago, when it was predicted by the Railway Age that the new railway milerge- ef 1886 would not fall short of 6,000 miles, there was considerable doubt as to the correctness of this statement, inasmuch as the entire new mileage for 1885 was only 3.131 miles. It is already proven however, that imstead of stopping at 6,000 miles, the total will probably run up to at least 7.000 mies, and possibly more, or a larger mileage than in any preceding year except in L8S1 and 1882. The returns to the Ratheay Age show that during the first teu months of the year there were 216 lines under eon- struction and that 5.439 miles of new main track were laid. As a large amount of preliminary work has been done in the way of grading, bridge building, &e., preparatory to actual track-layiny, which is now going on in many States and on many roads. the new mileage during November and De- cember will be very great. ‘The nile- age of new track by States from Jinn- ary 1 to October 81, 1880, Wasnt ts a > ‘ pation 12S follows: ™ States Miles Alabaina 18 Arkansas 23 Arizona 30 California 168 Colorado 24 Dakota 536 Florida 259 Georgia abo Indian Ter.

Minnessota 297 and Territories 5,439 - W ith the exception of Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Mississippi apd South Carolina, there has been rather less ae tivity in the building of new roads than had been expected. However, many of the most important lines on which track-laying was expected to have eom- menced, are now getting into shape for more vigorous work. ‘The outlook for railroad construction in the South during the coming year is very good. A number of very important lines will soon be under active construction, and within a year or two the railroad inileage of the Soath will be largely in- creased, .

Give all the children a mite to contribute to the orphans. So far there has been no organization of the young people for the winter season of 86-87, in Salisbury. There should be a euchre club, a pleasure club and a musi- cal organization in the town. What has become of the plan suggested some time ago, of heating the Court room from the oflices on the first floor, using A Festive Entertainment. The young ladies of the St. Cecilia Club, and the Ladies Aid Society, pro- pose to give on next Wednesday even- ing, in Meroney’s Hall, a grand entertain- ment. The proceeds to be devoted to church work. They will offer a protrac- ted programme of music—solos, duos, trios quartetts and choruses, instrumen- tal solosanda few elaborate tableaux. All of this part of the programme will be of the highest character, and of the thor- oughly enjoyable sort. After this intel- lectual feast, the wants of the inner man will be treated to a sumptuous oyster feast. The bivalve will be done up on the half shell, stewed, scalloped, broiled, and in fact, in every possible way to tempt the appetite, and will be served by the ‘beauties of the town’. Uniform prices.

Do not fail to attend this grand holiday enter- tainment, Sep Opportunities. At the outbreak of the civil war, At- lanta, Ga., was no larger than Salisbury and not so well known. It happened to become the terminus of two important Latrobe heaters. It would make the room a great deal more comfortable and would be an econominal way of doing it. When you read of the Durham fire you will be astonished to learn that they had \n0 water works. Salisbury will be well | protected when her water worksare com- | | pleted. It is an investment that the town | will ever be proud of. Why do not some of our enterprising fellow citizens get up a stock company for the purpose of establishing a wagon factory here? We have the tiinber, a genial climate and cheap living. These are points worth considering. An enter- prise of that kind would succeed here.

To-day Atlanta is acknowledged the most progressive place in the new south. She has a population of sixty thousand; her growth has been marvelous and her business immense. The advantages of railroads cannot be over estimated from a business point. The advantages Atlanta derived from her competing lines of railroad contributed almost solely to the phenominal growth and prosperity of the place. The rail- road facilities were an incentive to capital and labor, to manufacturers and mechan- ics, to all, who wished to “grow” to go there and do business. Each new comer became impressed with his duty to the town, new railroads were systematically road center. She held the keys to the tratfic of the South and southwest and became known as the “ Gate City.” Why !so muchabout Atlanta? Because Atlanta’s history serves to show what may yet | be accomplished in Rowan, and in Salis- | bury. Action! Action! is what our people want. These things will not come | for nothing or for the asking. There | must be concerted action. No town can afford to allow a railroad to pass it by. This town has thar” | know that it isa bad policy to let a road “been and we pass. Remember then the importance of this vital question, vital to the material growth of Salisbury and the prosperity of| | the adjacent country, and embrace ever, ‘opportunity of encouraging progress.

We have it on good authority that with a view of selling a certain rather unfavorably known gold mining property in North Carolina to certain New York and Chicago parties, the property in question is being “salted” with tons of ore carted from another mive —an argil- laceous slate, whereas, the mine being thus salted only produces quartz.—N. Y. Financial & Mining Record. It is strange that the Record should be so reckless as to use wholesale terms to cover an isolated case. There is consid- erable activity in mines in this State just now and the Récord’s “ word of cau- tion ’ may be strained into applying to any trade now being conducted. In this sense it becomes an_ outrage against every honest transaction and may be the cause of breaking up important sales. This is plain enough. There is but one way out for the Record and that is to name the mine! Every honest miner in North Carolina wants to know what mine is being salted. If the Record has not the back bone to give the names of parties, and particularly of the mine which is being doctered, let its editor for- ward the information to the WATCHMAN and it shall be given to the public, This encouraged and Atlanta became a rail- | ‘laid down his life, taken by the hand of wholesale impeachment of mining trans- actions in this State is unjust. Will the Record copy this ? Blue Wing News. The Big American Reduction Co. re- sumed operations in their copper mine on the first Monday in this month. The Big American is only ashort distance from Blue Wing, N. C., andis one of the Blue Wing group. The work now being done—sinking the main shaft—is of the utmost importance, since it isto prove the mine at a greater depth. The ore is of the bornite character and has been de- scribed in these columns. It is rumored that this company will erect, at an carly day, smelting works of considerable ca- pacity. Something of this kind is needed to hasten the development of this region. Another thing is being done, which has been the greatest barrier to the unlocking of carth’s rich stores, and that is building arailroad. The Durham, Blue Wing and Clarks- ville railroad Co. are now pushing work rapidly on the Clarksville end of the line. Grading is being rapidly completed between the copper mines, (Blue Wing, P.O.) and Clarksville. Several miles of this work has already been completed, and between 75 and 100 hands are now lon the work. The purpose of the man- agement is to complete the road in the near future to Blue Wing and then on to | Roxboro and Durham. This road when finished will furnish an egress to the many copper mines of this locality and will enable them to place their output on the leading markets of the world with something like an equal chance to com- pete with other large copper producing regions. As it has been, cartage, let alone freight, rendered this impossible. Mr. C. W. Edgecombe, Supt. of the Buckeye copper mine, reports no changes in the regular work in that mine. WORK IN BURKE COUNTY.

E, Gaither, aged’ four years and nearly two months. On Sunday night before, he was at- tacked with croup; but no special alarm was felt until Thursday night, when it was feared that a membrane was form- ing. This fear was confirmed by the consulting physician, who pronounced it ‘membraneous croup.” Little Frank was naturally ‘timid, and hence never showed the real affectionate- ness of his nature to others than the family. He could not bear the thought of inflicting pain; and would often throw his arms around the neck of those he im- agined he had hurt, saying: ‘me didn’t go to hurt you.” Even while laboring for breath it seemed to distress him to see his mother weeping, and often would ask “‘mama, what’s the matter?” It was my privilege to be at his bed during the last twen-four hours of his earthly life, and never have I seen such patience shown by so young a sufferer. As we closed his little blue eyes on earth, we have reason to believe his spirit was borne to Him who said, “Suf- fer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.” J.A.R.

A, BOYDEN, ful in business; fervent in spirit serving the Lord.” Industry, devotedness, Chris- | tin service are all recommended in this | one short text. What! is it possible to conjoin them? Oh, yes! There is no war | between religion and business, between | Bible and ledger, between churches and counting houses. On the contrary, reli- gion accelerate: b isiness, shurpens men’s wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition, fills up the blood of phlegmaties, and throws more velocity into all the wheels of hard work. ‘To the judgment it wives nore strength; to industry more inuscle; to enthusiasm a more con- centrated fire. You can not show me aman whose business prospects have in any wise been dispoiled by his reli- gion, The industrial classes are divided in- to three groups—producers, manufac- turers, traders. Producers, such as far- mers and miners. Manufacturers, such as take the corn and change it into food, or the wool and flax and change them into apparel. ‘Traders, who make a profit out of the transfer and exchange of that which is produced or manufac- tured. Now,a business man may belong to one of these classes, or he may be- long to all them. Whatever be your avocation, if you plan, calculate, bar- gain; if into your life there come an- noyanees, vexations and disappoint- ments, as well as gains, dividends, and percentages; If you are harrassed with wu multiphety of engagements; in a word, if you are driven from Monday morning to Saturday might, and from January to January, with relentless ob- ligation and, then you are a business inan or a business woman, and my sub- ject is appropriate to your case. We are apt tu speak of the toil and tug of business life as though it was an in- quisition or a prison into which a man jis thrown, or an unequal strife where, | half armed, he goes to contend. Hear ne this moruing while [try to show you that God intended businees life to to be a glorious education and discip- line, and if Tshall be successful in what [want to say, [ will rub— the Wrinkles out of your brow and unstrap | some of the burdens from your back. I have first to remark that God in- tended business life to be to youa school of Christian energy. God started us in the world, giving us a certain amount of raw material out of which we were to hew our own character. Every facul- ty needs to be reset, rounded, sharpen- ed up. After our young people have graduated from the school, and colleges, and universities, they need a higher education—-that which the collision and rasping of everyday life alone can effect. Energy of soul is wrought only in the fire. And when a man for ten or fifteen, or twenty, or thirty years has been going through business ac- tivities, his energy can no longer be measured by weights, or plummets, or ladders. It can scale any height. It can plummet any depth. [t can thrash any obstacle. Now do you suppose that God had spent all this education on you for the purpose of making you a more successful worlding, of enabling you to more rapidly accumulate dol- lars, making you sharpe ina_ trade? Dil God make you merely to be a yard- stick to measure cloths, or a steel-yard to weigh flour? And did He intend you to spend your life in doing nothing but to chatter and higgle? My friend, He ha’ put you in this school to develop your enerzy for His cause and king- dom. ‘There is enough unemployed talent aa the churches, and in the world today, to reform all empires, and all kingdoms, and people ip’ three weeks. QO. how much idleness amid strong muscles and stout hearts! How many deep streams that turn no mill wheels, and haul on the bands of no factory! (rod demands that He have the best sheep out of every flock, the richest sheaf in every harvest, the best men of every generation; and in a cause where the Newtons and Lockes, and the Manstelds of the earth were proud to enhst, you and L should not be ashamed to toil. O, fora few idlers and more consecrated Christian workers. Agun: God imtended business life to be to a school of patience. How many little things there are in one day's en- gagements to perturb and annoy and disquiet you. Bargains will rub and men will break their engagements. Collecting agents will come back empty handed. ‘Ivicksters. in business will play upon what they call the “hard times,” When in any time they never pay. Goods placed on the wrong shelf. Cash books and money drawer ina quarrel. Goods ordered for an especial emergency failing to come, or, if com- ing, damaged in the transport:tion. _ People who intend no harm going about shoping, unrolling goods they do not |mean to buy, and trying to Lreak the |dozen. Men obliged to take up other , people's notes. More counterfeit bills inthedrawer. More bad debts. Anoth- er ridiculous panic. Under all this fric- tion men break down, or they are sear- ed upon into additional brightness. How many you and [ have known who, in the past few years, have gone down under the pressure, and have become petulant, and choleric, and crabbed, and sour, and puguacious, until custo- mers forsook their stores, and these merchants have become insolvent, and their names were pronounced with de- testation. But other men have found in thisa school for patience. They toughened under the exposure. They were like rocks, more serviceable for the blasting. There was a time when they had to choke down their wrath. There was a time when they had to bite their hip. There was a time when they thought of a stinging retort they would like to utter. But now they have con- quered their impatience. They have kind words for sarcastic flings. They have a polite belavior for discourteous customers. They have fobearance for unfortutate debtors. They have moral reflections for the sudden reverses of fortune. Howare you going to get that grace of patience? Not through hear- ing ministers preach about it. Oh, no? If you get it at all, you will get it in the world, where you sell hats, and plead causes,vand tin roofs, and make shoes, and turn bamisters, and plow corn. I pray God that through the turmoil and sweat and exasperation of your every- day life, you may hear the voice of Christ saving to you: “If patience pos- ssess your soul, let patience have a perfect work.” be to you a school for the attaining of knowledge. Merchants do no read many hooks, nor study many lexicons, nor dive into great profounds, yet through the force of circumstances they get in- telligent on questions of politics, and finuce, and geography, and jurispru- dence, and ethics. Business is a hard schoolmistress. If her pupils will not learn in any other way, with unmerci- ful hand she smites them on the head and on the heart with inexorable loss. You went into some business enter- prises, and $0,000 got out of your grasp. You say the $0,000 was wasted. Oh, no! that was only tuition. Kx- pensive schooling, but it was worth it. Misfortune, with hard hand, comes upon aman and wakes him up, and by the very force of circumstances business men get to be intelligent. Traders mm grains must) known about foreign harvests. Traders in fruit must know about the prospects of tropical production. ean goods must know about’ the tarilf on imported articles. | Publishers of books must know the new) law of copyright. Owners of ships come to understand winds, and shoals, and navi- gation, and so every bale of cotton, and every raisin cask and every tea box and every cluster of bananas, becomes lrerature to our business men. Now, what is the use of all this intelligence unless you give it to Christ? Do you suppose God gives you these opportu- nities of brightemmg up your intellect and of increasing your knowledge merely to get larger treasures and grander business? Oh no! Can it) be that you have been learning about for- eign lands and people that dwell under other skies, and yet have no missionary spint? Can it be thet you have been learning the follies, and trickeries, and hollowness of the business world, and yet you are not trying to bring to bear upon them this gospel which is to cor- rect abuses, abolish all ignorance, and correct mistakes, and arrest all crime, and irradiate al] darkness, and lift up all wretchedness? Can it be that, not- withstanding your acquaintance with the intricacies of business, you are ig- norant of those things which will last the soul long after bills of exchange, and commissions, and invoices, and con- signments, and rent rolls have crump- led up and consumed in the fires of a judginent day ? Again: God intended business life to be to you a school of Christian integ- rity! No age of the world ever offered so many inducements for scoundrelism as are offered now. There is hardly a statute cn the law books that has not some back door through which miscre- ants ean escape. How many decep- tious inthe fabric of goods! Commer- clal life ples the lind with trickeries innumerable, and there are so many people in Brooklpn and New York who live a hfe of plunder that when a man proposes a straight forward, honest business, it is almost charged to green- ness and Want of tact. Ah, my breth- ren, this ought not to be. But Ihave to tell you that it re- quires more grace to be honest now than it did in the days of our fathers, when business was plain, and there were no stock gamblers, and woolen was woolen and silk was silk, and men were men. How rare itis that you find aman who can, from his heart, say: “I never cheated in trade, I never over- estimated the value of goods when sell- ing them. T never covered up a defect ina fabric. I never played upon the ignorance of a customer; in all my estate there is not one dishonest farth- ing.” There are those who can say it. They nover let their integrity bow or cringe to present advantage. They are as pure and Christian today as on the day when they sold their first Again: God intended business life to | Manufacturers of Ameri- tierce of rice or -their first firkin of butter. There were times when they could have robbed a partner, when they could have absconded with the funds of a bank, when they could have sprung a snap judgment, when they could have made a false assignment, when they could have ruined a neighbor for the purpose of picking up some of the fragments; but they never took one step on that pathway of hell-fire. Now | they can pray without being haunted with the chink of dishonest gold. Now they can read the Bible without think- ing of the day when, with a lie on- their soul, they kissed the book in a custom-house. Now they can look in- to the face of their children without thinking of orphans left by them- selves penniless and houseless. © Now they can think of death without having ' their knees knock together, and their’ hearts sink, and their teeth chatter, | beeanse there is a judgment where all def. auders and jockeys and tricksters and charlatans shall be doubly damned. | Now they can read in the Bible! without Hinching: ‘As the partridge sitteth on eggs and hatcheth them not, | so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at the end shall be a fool.” Alas! if any of you, for the purpose of getting out ot temporary embarrassment, dare to sell your soul, or any portion of it, you may wake up in the midst of your embarrassment and say: “No one is looking; this trans- action may be a little out of the way, but itis only once; only one.’ On that one occasion you may not only wreck your spiritual nature, but you despoil your business prospects. You put one dishonest dolar in an_ estate, but it will not stand. You may takea dishonest dollar and put it down in the very depths of the earth, and you may rollon the top of it rocks and and mountains, and on the top of these jrocks and mountains you may put all ‘the banks and moneyed istitutions, piling them up heaven high ; but that one dishonest dollar down in the depths | of the earth will begin to rock, and heave, and upturn itself until it comes ; to the resurrection of damnation. You | cannot hide a dishonest dollar. In the review of this subject there are two or three things 1 want to say, | and the first is, le6 us have a larger sympathy for business men. — I think Hit is ashame that in our pulpits we do | not oftener preach on this subject, and ;show that we appreciate the sorrows land struggles and temptations and | trials of everyday life. | | Meu who toi! with the hand are very apt to be sus- picious of those who move in the world of trattic, and think that they get their jmoney idly, and that they give no poquivalent. Men who raise the corn, and wheat, and rye, and oats are very apt to think that grain merchants get easy profits. The first is very apt to be j jealous of the other. Plato and Aris- _totle were so opposed to all kinds of imerchandise that they said conmerce was the curse of the earth, and they recommended that cities should never ij be built any nearer the sea coast than ;ten mi But we have become wiser |than that, and vou know that there are no harder workers than these who plan and calculate in stores, and banks, and counting houses. What though their apparel be neat, what though their niaunners be reflud,do not put them down idlers. They carry loads heaveir than a hod of brick, they go iuto exposures Keener than the cutting eit wing, they scale mountains higher than the Alps and Himalay, and main- taming their Christian integrity, Christ will at the last accost them, saying : “Well done thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” T also enjoin you to quit all fretful- ness about business matters. — Is there not something in your household that ‘you would not give up for the worldly success other men have? Besides that, if these trials hfted you up you ought to bless God for the whip of discipline.

Some day the shut- ters are not let down from the store window and the bars not taken from the door. Men pass along and stop and stare, and go up to read a card on the door which announces: “Closed on account of the death of one of the firm.’ That death—it is talked in commercial circles that a good man has gone. Boards of trade pass resolu- tions of sympathy, and churches of Christ pray: “Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth.” He has made his last bargain; he has sufiered his last loss; he has ached with his lust fatigue. The results of this Christian industry will biess his children after he is dead, and bequests to the kingdom of God will gather many sons into glory.

And what the boy learns to love the man will turn to account, while his hay will be better and more abundant than an idler’s; and his corn, his carrots and his cucumbers will be finer, better, and more abundant, too; and just when the idle man is thinking he ought to have a fortune, the eaily oue will be wrapping his up and rnnning off to the bankgwith it. ‘Lhe boy who says it’s music to hear the milk-man and chimny-sweep from bokaced the sheets wilbtnostl take to his bed to escape ‘his: by-and-by.

It is not likely that there is a single case of man or woman among the readers of this paper who have not abundant eause to be thankful to Almighty God for his mamfold bless- ings during the past year. If there be one such, he or she has only to consid- er how much worse their condition might have been if deatt with by the rule of personal demerit. The mercics of God crown each day and moment of man’s existence, without which he would cease to be a living soul. And yet how few show forth that sense of gratitude becoming the dependent, help- Jess creature by due submission to thie power which sustains him in the land of the living, or recognize His soveign- ty by alife of obedience to the pre- cepts of His word! How few are wil- ling to trust Him “in whom they live and move and have their being;” and what crowds rush on all thoughlessly seeking happiness in ways of their own choosing rather than accept the offers of pleasure which never die. in view ot mans proneness to tor- get God's mercies, and the debt of love, gratitude and obedience due Him, it is eminently fitting in the supreme Cov- ernor of our country to proclaim a day of thankgiving, and ask the people to suspend their avocations and come to- gether for the purpore of seriously considering His dealings with them through the jast year. Ours is nomi- nally a Christian country, acknowledg- ing the one living and only true God, the Universal sovereign, and the uevo- tion of one day in the year for the purpose indicated is indeed a small thing; but yet those who improve it as they may, will have cause to rejoice | that they were summoned to its ob- servance, and will return to their usual occupations on the morrow feeling re- freshed, and encouraged to the more diligent and faithful perf their duties. Try it. ae Convicts and Public Roads. From present indications, the State press seems determined to keep two questions before the people; the em- ployment of convicts, so that they shall not compete with honest labor, and a change in the present method of keeping up the public roads. These are both important questions to the people, and if the Legislature does noth- ing more than wisely dispose of them, they will have done much forthe relief of the people. The Warcuman has for years been advocating a change in the system for keeping the public highways inrepair. Ithasever been an unjust bur- den imposed on the farmers and should have been disposed of long since. The roads should be kept up by taxation, Then, and then alone will the burden fall equally upon all. But this con- vict question offers a solution. The ormanee Of press of the State very properly de- mand a change in the employment of the convicts. They should not be al- lowed to work at anything which con- flicts with the labor c£ honest free- men. Then what can they do! They can work the public roads with all propriety, because the State imposes the working of the roads on free, tax- paying labor and demands the service without compensation. Now let the convict step in and perform for the State this public service, and allow the farmer to devote more time to his regu- lar employment. This plan would enable the counties to inaugurate a regular system for macadamizing the public roads, and for keeping them up when built. —— OOO OE The Ladies Protest. Application having been made to the Governor of Virginia for the par- don of T. J. Cluverius, the seducer and murderer of Lillian Madison, and who after the laws’ delays, is to reach the gal- lows ou the 10th December, the “ladies of Richmond” have addressed an open letter to the Governor, protesting in strong but fitting terms against the pardon, or commutation of the death sentence. They say—"we the Ladies of Richmond, entreat—nay insist-— that no mercy be shown him, that such 3 man shall not be let loose on society.” It is asad incident that a sister of Lillian was driven to distraction by her deplorable end, and is now in an in- sane asylum, probably for life. ___$——ap> <p> = The Statue of Liberty presents a vast surface to the action of the wind and on this account much anxious speculation on its strength of resistance has been indulged in_ by the New Yorkers, who are afraid it might be toppled over into the sea.

So The government suit for the cancel- lation of the Bell Telephone Patents, came up in the city of Columbus, Olio. The question of jurisdiction by a circuit over a company not in ts district. was raised, and it was decided that the Bell Company, being a Massa- chusetts corporation, was outside the jurisdiction of an Ohio court. The decision was without prejudice, leaving open for the plaintiff to bring suit elsewhere. It ie not yet transpired what course the plaintiff will now pur- sue, but a way will be found to avoid taking the case to Massachusetts, the home of the Telephone Company, where prejudice, it is believed would be unavoidable. OS OO A republican Treasurer, Clerk and Coroner were elected in Alexander county, where the democrats can easily sive from 500 to 800 majority. There were from three to seven Democrats ruining against each other for the same office, and the republicans of Alexander have a knack of sticking together on election day, and walking off inthe evening with the bone of Democratic contention, just as they ought to. - The Raleigh News and Observer an- nounces inits personal column that “it is rumored that Hon.

We were asked recently what we would | answer to the question, “ What makes | ‘ou a Democrat?” Our answer was this: | “If there were no other fundamental | doctrines to differentiate the two parties: but this, we would still be a Democrat | with our whole heart—that it is the party | that stands by the Constitution, insisting | upon a rigid, strict, grainmatical con- struction of organic law, preserving to the States their rights, and interposing between the aggressive Federal Govern- ment and States to precise and cicarly defined limitations of the Great Charter of our liberties. There is the greater need of a strict construction of the law for the constant tendency, as we have shown again and again by appeals to Republican authori- ties, is to Strong Government aod toa consequent destruction of the powers, rights and safety of the several States. We refer to it now because of the recent utterances in Northern Republican papers in reference to Governor Gurdon’s late inauguration address at Atlanta Ga. That distinguished soldier and politician spoke with force and truth of the great dangers that threaten our form of Govy- ernment. He said “the silent but certain growth of a sentiment for stronger Cen- tral Government” was one of the greatest dangers that threaten this country. This declaration, so necessary, So just, so true, provokes only contemptuous and derisive flings on the part of the Northern press. They laugh at the supposed danger and denounce the able Governor for talking of “States Rights.” The New York Tribune, the Philadel- phia News, and other Republican expo- nents have all rebuked Gen. Gordon for his timely warning. They say itis absurd, and that centralizing tendencies are needed. For instance the News says: “In all matters that refer to the com- mon interests of all the people the erntral government ought to have all the power it can be given; because to-day, under the absurd construction given by many to the theory of ‘States’ rights,” the States are really more autocratic than any central government can ever be, so long as its legislation must be shaped by men from all parts of the country, &c.” This is the political stutf that is dealt out by political revolutionists in the North to their ignorant, unreilecting readers, the most of whom never under- stood the peculiar genius and genuine underlying principles of our form of government, and never will understand it. In the colleges, in the magazines, in the reviews, in the newspapers in the North every day are to be found the teachings of Centralization, and the power | of the press is such that the voter of 1856 know but little else than what they have | been taught by such progegandists of} error, usurpation and despotisin, | Wipe out the Democratic party aud let | it cease to teach the true doctrine as to} the Constitution and the aud | before the present century end there | would be hardly a vestige left or they grand edifice erected by the iHusiitous | and patriotic fathers who eycn ~ build | better than they know.” The federalizts of old never liked a strict construction of ovganic law. Ham- | ilton, Story, Curtis, Webster and 2 few | other Northern interpreters have done | more to give solidity and vigor to Central-] ization than all the other public men of| the country combined. From the first— | from the very beginning of or system— the Democrats were the faithful gvard- ians of the written law, and defended it against all encroachmeuts and all suph- isms. It is not a matter of any great surprise that to-day the New England schools hold to the view of the Cousiiiu- tional expounders of that section in the past. But because the North, or much of it, has lost all proper understanding of a genuine republican, Gemveratic Govern- ment regulated by law, it is the anore imperative upon the South to maintain in its integrity the Constitution of our country. If New England was not blind to its own interests it would be more deter- mined in the matter of States Rights than the South is, for the six little States are not in population equal to New York, When Story propounded his absurd the- ories New England hada preponderating influence among the Siates. But now there are several States either of which has a population and territory nearly or quite equal to all New England. — How much power is given to little by the ar- rangements of the Constitution! = Oblit- crate the States and then the twelve New England Senators disappear and their total representation would be less than that of New York. Under the Constitution New Yerk has but two Senators, although its population is one-fourth greater than New England | that has twelve Senators. When you | talk of wiping out Xtate lines and mak- | ing great, independent Commonwealths | contemptable provinces think of the power of small States. Other States will soon be ahead of all New England com. | bined,in population.

It occurs to us that the Knights of Labor have done a very unwise thing in taking such action as they have dene in regard to the condemned Chicazo Anarchists. In thear rebuke of the cowts and their demand tor the pardon of the condemn d men, they place themselves side by side by the ene- nies of sooicty, There was no equivocation ‘n the methods of the Anarchists. They denonnce socicty as it existed; they made open war poo it, and they went to the extens of wholesale murder, involying Inno- cent persons aswell us their proclaimed encinics. Society, to preserve its organiza- tion was compcled to act vigorously, for a'l that was embraced in the idea of socicty was at Stake—pence, order, the quict cnjoy- ment of the fruits of iaborg. All these the anarchists proposed to destrey, and they tried to make good their deeds, The protection of labor by lawful or zan- ization, the redress for the wrongs of labor, are ri hiful objects, and will have the co- operation of thinking men who justly rebel ag@inst the powertul tyrrany of monopolies. Bat anarchism makes such organizavons needless, It destroys socicty, it makes la bor valueless, for it destroys its fruits. It linakes individu. effort tutite, because it | recognizes no individual right in property, and either annihilates labor, or proposes to throw its proceeds Into common stock to be used or wasted by idle and the vicious as well by the industrious and the prudent. There is op this ground, no sfmulous to these last to combine for advancement or srotection. We betive those in tiie South who have joined in the organization did so in sincerity and jofty motives, true vo then- s ives, loval to society.

A man from the country in town last Friday took on too much whiskey. Two of his friends exertcd all their influence to lead him off the strect, but no gir-ee, he? was not going. After patient oftrts they left him, and he went down on the ground, unable to stand without support. But he was mad, and it was interesting to watch the contest between the ener- vating power of whiskey, and the fitful gushes ofanger. Whiskey demanded a sprawling bed in therstreet. Anger swore he wouldn’t lie there, and kept up the struggle first by trying to climb up by a brick wall, but there were no pro- jections to cling to, and whiskey eased the man down on the ground again. Anger still told him he could do it, and so he rolled first to one side and then to the other, trying at each turn to bring his legs in position to rise. And then he went down flat on his back as if he had fairly and finally yielded to the persua- sions of whiskey and intended to accept the situation. 3ut it was only fora moment; anger spurred him to another desperate effort to rise. He turned over on his belly, put out his hands and feet on the ground, and by carefully balancéng up he came—erect once more, but sway- ing first tothe right, then to the left, then forward and then backward—top heavy tosuch an extent that no one could bet which way he would fall. His friends now returned and tried again to lead him off, but he was more mulish than ever, ang pretty soon got mad enough to cuss them out, and in doing this, attracted the attention of a policeman, who came downon thescene like a man on business. With officer Geo. Shaver holding him on one side and an assistant on the other, the the party turned the corner in the direc- tion of the calaboose, where whiskey will wrap the man in peaceful slumbers for a few hours, and then let him out to pay a fine and go home.

His death was unexpected, it not being sup- posed outside of his house that he was in any immediate danger. | As soon as the news of Mr. Arthur’s death was made public, many flags on public and private buildings were placed at half mast. Mr. Arthur had lived at No. 128 Lexington Avenue for twenty years or more. A stroke of cerebral apoplexy, sudden but wholly unexpected by the attending phy- sicians, terminated his life. The stroke came in his sleep between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and he did not rally thereafter. His death was painless, like the slow going out of a burned down candle, and for hours before the end came he was unconscious co! his surroundings. Hlis son and daughter, his sister, his former layw partner, Sherman W. Kne- vals, and his closest friend, Surrogate tolling, were at his bedside. joblivion ELE 0 <> ae LIST OF LETTERS.

MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR. The Helen Grupy Sold. Mr. J. C. McCanless reports the sale of the Helen Grupy mine, in this county, to Mr. J. B. Brewster, of New York. Forty acies of land was sold with the ‘“‘prospect.” Work will be begun at once with a view of opening and exploiting the property. ‘A New Randolph Mine, The Branson mine, in Randolph coun- ty, near the Montgomery county line, is being developed, by Mr. Cramer of Thomasville, N. C. The ore is talco- slate and quartz—the common ore of the slate formation in North Carolina--and has been sunk upon to the depth of forty feet. The ore isin mass, that is, the walls are far apart and the auriferous material greatly resembles the country rock. Itis said to be of a fair grade for such a mass, and it has the appearance of holding out as the development deep- ens. The prospect has so impressed those who have the property in charge, that they have determined to erect a stamp mill, of ten heads, at an early day. IN GUILFORD COUNTY. The work of sinking the Fisher Hill mine in Guilford county is progress- ing with flattering indications, so says the Supt., Mr. B.S. Loney. The present depth is 135 feet, which is nearly 300 feet from the outcrop. There are three levels, the first has 600, the second 1000 and the third 355 feet open. The Supt. says there is ore cnough in sight to last twelve months. They are sinking on a three foot vein in the bottom of the mine. They haveaten stamp mill in opera- tion, which the Supt. says has been pay- ing for the last eight months, The Fisher Hill ore is brown ore, quartz and sul- phurets. <A carload of this ore has been sent to the Yadkin Chlorination Works, at Salisbury, where it is to be treated. FORTY STAMPS GOING. The Steele mine, in Montgomery coun- ty, enjoys the distinction of having the largest stamp mill in the State. They have recently started their mill—40 Thos. McGehee, son of Hon. Montford {stamps—and are reducing a large amount ofore. This mine at one time furnished some exceedingly rich ore, but of late years no such oreas Dr. Worth, (a former operator,) took out, has been found. No information can be had of the output of the mine at present. Thisis a matter that the company have a right to with- hold from the public. Should the stock of the Company be placed on the market it would become of vital importance to those who contemplate investing in the stock, Supt. H. McCay, of the Coggins, (Ap- palachian) mine will renew operations at that place at once. The Coggins is near El Dorado p. 0. in Montgomery county, and is one of the properties which de- serves acareful management, since its surface indications and first work were so flattering. Atone timeit bid fair to take the lead in that county. KING’S MOUNTAIN NOTES. The Catawba mine, at King’s Mount- ain, N. C., is in competent hands, and is being very carefully explored. For several months a force of hands under the careful superintendence of Mr. C. E. Hawley, has been opening new ground. The result of this work has been entirely satisfactory to those interested. —§ Prepa- rations are being made for the building of a large mill. A PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK. The mining pulse for this State is beat- ing with more regularity and with renew- There is a wide ,g interest in the mining affairs of the State, while individual interests are increasing with eyery devel- opment.

This is encouraging to those who have made the subject one of special study, because they know that the material is here and in abundance, and that when itis put in the hands of really capable people, the result must be satisfactordily remuncrative. One of the curses of Southern mining, as a business, has been the great number of incompetent men placed in charge of work of which they had precious little knowledge.

A big transfer of stock has taken place in which Messrs. T. M. Logan, James B. Pace and A. S. Sully have purchased 95,000 shares inthe Richmond & Dan- ville Railroad at $250 a share, aggrega- ting $5,750,000. For some tune the Rich- mond & Danville company and the West Point Terminal Company have not been on the best of terms. ‘The Logan inter- ests, Which had control of the Terminal, has, by this sale, secured a majority ot stock in the Danville read. The Danville stock consists of 50,006 shares at $100 each. Previous to Friday the Logan party had acquired, it is said, about 15,000 shares, but the Scott syndi- eate held 25,000 shares in a solid block, and insisted upon selling all or none. So Logan, Pace, and Sully, and their asso- ciates, whoever they are, agreed to buy the 25,000 shares, for which they paid $230 a share, or $5,750,000. Thus the Danville and the terminal come together again in the closest possible relations. It is stated that the purchase insures the amalgamation of the stock of the R. & D.,and Terminal companies and it is believed that one common stock will be issued for each, and that there will bea unification of the entire sysiem of 2,700 A.

Medical author- ities say it is due to atmospheric germs, uneven clothing of the bedy, rapid cooling when in prespi- ration, &c. The important point is, that a cold in the head is a genuine rhinis ia, an inflamation of the lini membrane of the nose, which, when unchecked, is certain to produce a catarrhal condi- tton—for catarh isesseatially a “cold” which nature is no longer able to “resolve” or throw off. Ely’s Crea! Balm bas proved its superority, and sufferers from cold in the head should resort to it before that common ailment becomes seated and ends in obsti- nate catarrh. MARRIED.

IN, our authorized agents. . , * gh ts ea a ke ce An Important Lesson from a Northerm Source. « Edmund Kirke, a Northern writer) who has recently published a work en- titled “The Rear Guard of the Revo- lution,’ which is a_ histo of the troubles in the “State of Franklin,” now Tennessee, in the time of Gen. Sevier, has a short paper in the North American Review for November. on “How Shall the Negro be Educated.” Its value consists in giving the exper- iences of a Northern woman at Knox- vile. “Kirke” says that the highest education is to fit people “to do mc st worthily and well the duties that per- tain to the stations in which they are laced.” Hence, he argues, that the find of education the blacks need is that which will make fhem expert house servants and farm laborers and mechanics. He says that the negroes learn like parrots—learn the words, “but of the ideas the words convey they have no comprehension.” He says he has found this to be invariably true of ‘all advanced scholars” he has met. This agrees precisely with the New England “school-marm” we once wrote about at length in these columns. She taught in Petersburg, Va., soon after the war. At first, she said in her very interesting communication to the In- dex-Appeal, she thought the negro children could Jearn more rapidly than the white children could learn, but as goon as she got them into higher branches where the reasoning faculties must come into play they fell immense- ly in the rear. She ascertained that thers chief faculty was imitation, and that they were unsurpassed in learning by rote—by singing their geography and spelling. But let us glance at the experience of another Northern woman—she of Knoxville. She is ‘a highly cultivated and accomplished Northern lady,” says Mr “Kirke ’—That is not his true name. She has spent sixteen years in teaching the negroes, and “Kirke” says she “has solved the problem, ‘What to do with the negro.’” When she first went to Knoxville she began a school for the negroes, teaching them in the usual way. She kept this up for twelve years. She built a large, fine brick buildmg— the handsomest, best and most spacious in Knoxville. Here was the result: “She saw (the fruits) in many of her best and brightest scholars—girls who had gone to the bad, and_ boys who were unfitted for useful work, and actu- ally good for nothing. She had taught the blacks as she had taught the whites—all the higher branches —and the result she saw wes harm instead of good.” She had literally “crammed with a learning they did not understand” her hundreds of pupils of twelve long years of toil, and she found them destitute at last “of the knowledge that is indispen- sable to their success in the world.” Now what did this highly educated and now richly experienced New Eng- land woman do? She showed herself equal to the occasion. She resolved to make her pupils bread winners-—the girls to be trained for household duties and the boys for various callings. She relied much Jess on books. “She open- ed for the girls a sewing school and a kitchen garden, in which she taught them simple house work. Then she established a carpenter's shop for boys, and a cooking school for -both boys and girls.” She succeeded. After fonr years: working on this plan of industrial train- ing her labors are rewarded. “Kirke” says “her institution covers about every industrial pursnit followed by the negro except agriculture.” She has added to the community “hundreds of skilful workers” and they get high wages. “Kirke” says that if her system was to become general it “would revolutionize the South and solve the problem now | puzzing the heads of wisest statesmen.” The lesson taught by this devoted, plucky Yankee women is-—“train the neero to do skilful work and you will make hima good citizen.” At least you will make tim useful, efficient, and give him a good chance in the race for a living. We are glad to find ihe 1 sson so much like that taught long ago in Southern newspapers. It is a common saying now in the South—“Educate the negro and you spoil a good corn-field hand.” Book learning unfits more for a useful life than otherwise. Teach them the three Rs. But the main thing is to train them for house-serv- ants, cooks mechanics and the farm. There is a growing necessity for train- ing schools for the blacks. In a few years all of the old trained servants will have died, and good cooking will become a lost art in the South. How few ofthe younger negroes are efficient and trust- worthy maids and nurses. As to the younger race of blacks who can “read, write, and cipher,” how few of them are capable and reliable compared with the great mass. ee The Convict System. The convict lease system is one the South to meet. It cannot be deferred indctinitely. Public sentiment is growing against it. North Carolina never favored the peniten- tinry system. Bnt for the war it is very doubtful if it would have been adopted in this century. It is not punishment to ne- groes and many of them really like the fun. But we have the penitentiary, and crime among the blacks is filling it up, and now there are some 1,200 convicts to bo worked some where. If they are worked in the penitentiary they must be put to trades, and this in the end greatly militates against honest labor. If they are farmed out there are abuses and wrongs growing out of it, and the mortality among them greatly 1n- creases. As to convict labor coming in eontact with free labor the papers are taking hold of it and out of the discussions right con- clusions will possibly be arrived at in the end. The Memphis Appeal, for instance, says: “The Illinoise State Board of Statistics. in its recent report, shows conclusively that convict labor is ruinous to fair industry, and destructivg to wages. Ags an instance, it is shown that cooperage has suffered most seriously from the convict labor that casts ee ghee deter sincere’ “yee oe Chicago last year 67 percent. was. tured fh prisons. Contract business in coop- erage has-increased in Iifinoise 860 percent. in-ten years, while,the increase of private establishments outside has only been 31 per cent. In the same time the averageannual earning of coopers outside has Nicresead more than one-fourth, and the price of their product more than one-third.” Now such facts are not isolated. No doubt every State ean farnish statistics to show how the convicts are injuring the hoa- est labor of the country. It is bad policy to make dishonest labor injure honest labor. Nay, itis much worse than that—it is wrong and damaging and unjust. We note that the National Prison Cong- ress is in session at Atlanta. Rev. Dr. Hay- good, the mostinfluential minister in the State of Georgia, and General Agent of the | States funds, prerched a discourse against the convict lease system. A dispatch says: “The sermon was a strong attack on the convict lease system, and has been the ab- sorbing topic of conversation among the members of the National Prison Associa- tion since its delivery. The Dr. discussed the question on general principals, and took the ground that no such system should be tolerated by any enlightened government. No government, he said, has a right to del- egate the right to furnish convicts to so- called agents whose only object, naturally, is to make money. A government which attempts to make money out of its convicts is a venal government, which shirks its duty to manage its own penitentiary system, and 1s weak.” This shows how the question is ferment- ing in Gcorgia, where there have been gricv- ous complaints as to the way convicts were treated. The Notional Prison Association was to discuss this question, and we shall watch its progress with interest. North Carolina cannot maintain a wrong system any more than the South could afford be- fore the war to go into the African slave trade. Ifthe system is wrong, oppressive and yera' it must be abandoned.— Wil mington Star. This is to the point. The convicts should not be allowed to render to the State or to individuals work which should be done by honest labor. For in- stance, much of the work done on the new public building an Raleigh has been done by convicts. It should not have been so. Let the convicts be put to work on the public roads of the coun- ties to which they- belong. This will relieve the farmer of an onorous duty and will accomplish in the end, result which the State cannot afford tobe without, viz: macadamized roads. The law now imposes road working on the already overworked farmer. Why not relieve him by putting convicts on the roads.

The skulls examined date back as far as the sixth century B. C., and prove that toothache and the art of denistry are by no means modern institution. reo Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

Ten times the length of the hand, or seven and a half times the length of the foot, or fiye times the diamater of the chest, fron: one armpit to the other, should also give the height of the whole hody. The distance from the juncture of the thigh to the ground should be the same as from that point to the crown of the head. The knee should be pre- cisely midway between the same point and the bottom of the heel. The distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger should be the same as from the elbow to the middle line of the breast.

WHO ARE TO SHAPE NORTH CAROLINA'S HISTORY IN THE PRESENT GENERATION. HON. JOHN §&. Hon. John S. Henderson, who has recently been re-elected to represent the Seventh District in the 50th Con- gress, was born in Rowan county, Jan- uary 6th, 1846. He was prepared for college at Dr. Wilson's school and en- tered the University of North Carolina January 1862, where he pursued his studies until Noy. 1864, when he en- tered the Confederate army and servei until the surrender as a private in Co. B., 10th Regiment N. C. State troops. He read law under Chief Justice Pear- son, and obtained his county court license in June, 1866 aud his superior court license in June, 1867. He ap- plied himself zearlously to the practice of his profession in which he has_ been successful. He has always resided in Salisbury. In 1874, he married Miss ‘Bessie B. Cain, of Asheville. He has never sought office but has seen a good deal of political life. In 1871 he was elected to the proposed Constitutional Convention, beating his late coinpeti- tor, Dr. J. G. Ramsay, 497 votes, run- ning 102 votes ahead of the Democrat- ic ticket. Mr. Henderson declined a nomination for the lower house of the General Assembly 1872. He was elec- ted to the Constitutional Convention , of 1875 and took a prominent part in the proceedings of that meinorabtie | body. In 1876 he was elected to the | House and was a leading and valuable | member, having been the author and draftsman of many of the most im- portant statutes adopted at that session He had been elected by a majority of 1,006, | when Vance’s majority in Rowan was | 863 and Tilden’s 868. In 1879 he was | triumphantly elected to the State Sen- | ate from Rowan and Davie, running about 475 votes ahead of his ticket. In the upper chamber as well as in the lower, he distinguished himself by his sagacity, his industry and zeal,as a true representative ot the people and | did much towards shaping the best legislation of the session.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 22.—An As- sociate Press dispatch recently announ- ced the purpose of the Southern Bivou- ac, a Louisville magazine, mainly devoted to publishing hterature of the war froma southern standpoint, to tell for the first time the history of the northwestern conspiracy. The Bivouac says that conspiracy was a well organ- zed attempt by the authorities at Rich- mond to release the large number of Confederate soldiers imprisoned at the north. In carrying out this design the officers to whom it was intrusted discovered thronghont the northwest, especially in the States of Ohio, Indi- ana and Illinois, deep and widespread dissatisfaction with the government at Washington, with either the purpose or the conduct of the war. These dis- satisfied classes were thoronghly or- ganized, under one name or another, the most famous and extended society being the Sons of Liberty. The Con- federate commissioners determined to avail themselves of this dissatisfaction, 'to organize, release and arm the pris- oners, and, in connection with the se- ieret. societies of the north, to brng about an uprising which would serve to centrated at the front. editor of the Catholic Universe, of this city, who was in the Confederate ser- vice, and part of the time in Canada in the mterest of the south, doubting the prudence of this promised publication, wrote to Jefferson Davis about it and received the following roply. which he inclosed in an open letter to the Biv- ‘ouac strongly protesting against mak- ing public the history reterred to: Brauvorr, Muiss., Nov. 14, “86.

The Republicais of North Carolina take it very hard of the Deniocrats whenever the latter “draw the color line.” It is unfortunate that the situ- ation is ever such as to warrant this, but consider: Ever since the war the colored people of this State have voted solidly with the Republican party. It mattered not who were the candidates or what the issues, the colored vote was always to be counted as in the box and against us. Such is the proscriptive spirit of the colored people that one of their race dare not vote with the Dem- ocrats. He is ostracised and persecuted. Everybody knows this is true, and as a consequence there are very few Demo- crats who, feeling any. friendly interest in a black man, will take the responsi- bility of advising him to-vote the Dem- ocratic ticket. Negroes who have split off from the Republicans and voted the Democratic ticket have been refused de- cent burial when they died. It was thought that when a Democratie ad- ministration was installed at Washing- ton and the negroes found their fears of the result of Democratic supremacy were groundless, they might divide. Many felt sure they would after Presi- dent Cleveland had made such liberal advances to them. But what did we see in the late election? The colored vote was a unit for the Republican tick- et. It has never at any time within the eighteen years since they have been voters been more sohd. White men scratched; Democrats in many cases bolted the party ticket; not so the ne- groes. They voted straight. We are not objecting; we are not saying they ought to be Democrats. Weare only stating a fact and drawinga conclusion from it. That conclusion is this: As long «as the negroes choose to keep themselves arrayed solidly against the white men, the white men may be ex- pected to keep themselves arrayed with some degree solidity against the negroes. The whites did not. originally adopt the color line and they are not responsible for its maintenance; but they are not going to break it and go over to the negroes in sufficient members to turn the seales in the State, if they know it, until the negroes break and some of them until the negroes break and some of them come over to the whites, thus themselves obliterating the line which they themselves have drawn. That may bea bad state of affairs where a inan’s politics can be guessed with reasonable accuracy by the color of his skin, but weare only dealing with things as they are and placing respon- sibility where it belongs.—Statesville Landmark. — + ee Do not Make Mortgazes. dvery day we sec the injurious ef- fects of this detestable mortgage sys- tem, and yet our farmers continue to try to live under it. On our criminal docket at this term of Court there are a dozen or more cases against parties, both white and black for disposing of mortgaged property.

The system is a school of training in which dishonesty is taught. It seems impossible for a man who once makes » mortgage to free himself from the influence to evade the con- ditions it embodies. He may pay up every cent of the first mortyege, may pay up for the second and third, and the papers cancelled and destroyed, and yet he is subject to the conditions set forth in that first mortgage. How, many will ask. Simply, that when it becomes known that he has m.dea mortgage, the mere fact leads the world to believe that he is dishonest, and every year to obtain supplies neces- sary to md him in making his crop he is compelleded to make another mort- age. So he lives from vear to year un- der the debasing influence of this sys- tem until a bad crop year or some un- seen niisfortune prevents his comply- ing with the conditions, and the conse- quence g, that bis property is sold and he is left without means, and still doubly worse, without credit. Farmers who have and do go into this system to obtain supplies are year- ly stepping down ffom the position of of independent farmers to that ofadaily hireling, and yet others are still fol- lowing. Quit it we say. If you are compelled to hve on bread-and water for two years to get a start, do so and become independent.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 26.—The annual report of General Duane, chief of engi- neers of the army, made public to-day, states that the recommendations of the fortifications board as to sea coast defenses are fully concurred in and the appropri- ations therein recommended are deemed urgently necessary for the care and pres- ervation of existing coast defenses. $1,- 043,000 is asked. In the event of emer- gency, Gen. Duane says, this country would be mainly dependent for defenses on fixed mines and torpedoes, and for eee stores $53,000 should be appropri- ated. The report embraces an epitome of the reports of the officers in charge of the various works of river and harbor jm- provements, with their recommendations and also estimates for the continuance of the works under their charge.

He confirmed Mr. Smith’s statements and said the Organization would soon resume work in England. It is said that Rossas resigned his office as Executive of the Fenian Brotherhood, and that Dr. Hamilton Williains, of Green Point, who is creé- ited with having carried from Germany the knives with which Cavendish ard Burke were cut to pieces, were appointed in his place. The trouble with Rossas is said to be that he was too ready to em- broil himself in the political contests of this country. - + - Latest from the Anarchists.

As Senator Hampton did not come home a searching party started out late in the evening to find him. They met him some distance from the house much exhausted and painfully hurt, but making his way homeward as well as his maimed condition would allow. His gun had canght in a vine while he was riding through the woods in the afternoon, and had been discharged. The load entered the head of his horse, killing the animal, which fell upon Senator Hampton. Beinga cripple, the Senator had difficulty in extricating himself. When met by his friends he had -walked for nearly five hours through thé.woods. Mr. Davis’ Thank Offering. THE GIFT OF THE LEADER OF THE SOUTH- ERN CONFEDERACY. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 21.—Today at Fairview on the line between Christian and Todd counties, Ky., there was dedi- cated a Baptist church, erected on the site of the building where Jefferson Davis was born. The ground was pur- chased and given by a party of gentle- men to Mr. Davis, who in turn gave it for the location of a church. The Rev. Dr. Strickland, of Nashville, delivered the dedication sermon.

They propose that it shall bea trunk line and doa large business. They prediente this ppon the fact that they will have the shortest, (by 2) miles) line to the ses- poard; that they will have alarge bu-| siness from the coal and iron deposits | now being developed in the western art of this State and in Tenn. and | Ky. just across our border, and from} the vast forests of untouched timber in that region, and the further fact that | all this freight will be hauled down ade to the seabvard ; that their line will offer the best rates on commercial freights, dry goods, groceries Ce, which will come by water to Smithville and be distributed along the line at a small- er rate than can be cone by any other Jine.

Lf itis not built, of course the county cannot take stock in a roul which has not been built. They do not ask the peo- ple to be taxed to build the road. They will build it without any aid from the people, using their own money for the purpose. The advantages that Rowan will gain, will be greater than that of any other county.

The newspapers have ulate on tife chances of Democratic success m 1588, and among the promi- nent northern papers which exert a wide influence generally, on political and other subjects, may he mentioned the New York Herald, which gives its opinion in behalf.of the re-election of Mr. Cleveland. It says “If the Demo- cratic party cannot re-elect Mr. Cleve- land it cannot elect uny man to the Presidency in 1888;” and thereupon roceeds to review, to some extent, the administration of the present incum- bent. It declares that Mr. Cleveland as, “by his wise and conservative gourse, won the respect and confidence of the country, not merely for himself pat forthe democratic party.” We believe this is true, and although many have been disap inted in ‘respect to the offices which should have been filled, by democrats, and ha%e. found fault with Mr, Cleveland for not driv- ing out the rads as a farmer would drive out of his crop a herd of hungry hogs, yet he has done a great deal to on the slip by which we are able to de- termine the locality in Alabama, nor the exact date. ‘The following letter found in Mr. his death relates pretty much all of in- terest, VIZ: “Lam a burden to myself and friends.

It breeds dissension in the party. connty officers hold on until at length they come to think the oliices be- une to them by right, and as soon as & Democratic convention fails to nominate them they put up a pitiful face, say “unfair,” and bolt. They thus not only prodace dissension, but are Jiable by this course to defeat the party. Tsay nothing of the incense bitterness such apostasy always engenders. », ‘Phe lite tenure is radically opposed to the spirit of our form of govermment 5 and to be specitic, if the offices are valua- ble it is not fair that one set of men should derive all the benetit from them.

This is one of the busiest weeks of the year in Washington. Congress will be here in one Week, and everybody must be it from the President to the boarding-house keeper. The President's messuge is receiving its last course of condensation and revision. Cabinet off- cers are performing similar work on their annual reports, aud their Assistant of the First, Second, Third and Fourth degrees, with several hundred Bureau © heits, Comptrollers, Auditors and officers too numerous to mention, are arranging their figures and plodding over long tables of statistics. The streets of the city are again alive with a busy, bustling throng and up it the long deserted Capitol, Chiarman Randall, with a quorum of his committee, has for a weck been pressing work on Appropriation bills. He reports fine better living | : | have Phe | Speaker Carlire’s seat in | of Trimble county were all in vio ee progress, and says Congress will not have to wait on bim for money bills. During the week he has had in consolation, the heads of défferent Bureaus and Govern- nreut establishments, with regard to the needs of their respective departments for the next year. Among these were Prof. Baird of the National Museum, Smithso- nian and Fish Commission; Superintend- ent Thorne of the Coast Survey: Dr. Godding of the Government Insane Asy- lum; Col, Wilson of public buildings and grounds and others. . The improved condition of the Govern- ment service under Democratic Adminis- tration has been mentioned repeatedly, but new instances of reform are continu- ally making themselves felt, which de- serve especial notice. The President probably never made a bappier stroke of public policy than when he ¢alled Mr. Benedict here to {be Public Printer. In the period of three months the notori- ously demoralized Govenment Printing offiee has been put iv such order that about one third more work is now being done with the Same amount of money, and the press room whieh three months ayo had 400 forms waiting for the press 18 NOW clear, having “eaught up.” ——_——_ _ ~+<=3-- Cheap Advertising. “There are cheap newspapers and cheap lawyers aud ductors.

The literature on the subject of the geographical occurrence of gas, except in areas contiguous to the Pennsylva- nia oil regions, is very meager, and scarcely anything has been published on the geology of natural gas except that contained in the reports of the Pennsylvania Survey, of which Mr. Carll has been the leading author. In considering the geologic distribution of gas in the United States, I have not sufficient facts at present in my pos- session to make a paper on the subject ‘complete or exhaustive. The practical application of natural | gas, in various forms,in Western Penn- stlvania, has opened up a new era in fuel economy and the development of heat and mechanical power, and it be- comes a practical necessity for every /community where there is the slightest ! | | possibility of finding natural gas- to wake a thorough and intelligent ex- ploration for it; and for all other com- munities, in which, from the geologi- cal condition of the underground structure of their region, it is impossi- ble for the rocks to contain gas in commercial quantities, to plan to manu- facture a fuel gas. There is no doubt in my mind but that the greatest ad- vance to be made in the practical arts and sciences during the next two de- cades is to result from a practical con- sideration of the question of the manu- facture and utilization of gaseous | fuels, and the adaptation of plant and ‘machinery tothe new fuel relations ‘that [ believe we are bound for econo- | my's sake to establish. It is difficult to prescribe any fixed ‘limits in the geological scale to the oc- currence of natural gas and petroleum. Kvery known rock, with the exception of eruptive rocks, is know to contain the remains of organic matter ( vegetable and animal); and since the leading geologists agree in the opinion that ;both oil and gas result from the de- “quite possible to find gas and oil in irocks of any geological age, in some ‘rocks in commercial quantities, and in | other rocks in quantities so small as to ibe only of scientific interest to the geologist and mineralogist. Next to the necessity of having a! sedimentary rock in which animal or vegetable remains of past geological ‘ages have been buried, the presence of gas is dependent upon the existence of | porous or cavernous rock to serve as a reservoir to hold the gas, and overly- ing ee rock roof to contine the _gas. ‘lhe other necessary conditions | for the occu ipendent upon the forces to which the strata have been subjected, and the re- i sulting geological structure, than upon | the age of the rocks themselves. | The tendency among practical oil jand yas well drillers and operators to discover, in a new district where a well be drilled, the same section of makes 16 important that both drillers as proved by geological investigation, that notwo wells can be put down, distant from one another but fiye miles, more or less, where the same section of rocks may be found in both wells. All the oi] and gas horizons in Penn- viamia are located in sandstones and shales, from the Portage up to and in-| cluding the Coal Measures. In Ohio the oil and gas horizons are included in the Paleozoic strata from the Upper Coal Measures down into the Trenton Limestone. In New York, where the natural gas is more generally distribu- ted, as indicated by gas springs, than much has been found in com- mercial quantities, the gas horizons are found in the formations from the Che- mung down to the Hudson River Shales inclusive, with the possibility that some may be found inthe Trenton Lime- stone. developing, rrence of gas are more de-. a new ones, very little alarm The germs of scrofula, latent in every should be entertained as to the exhaus- porn i ns destroyed by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. tion of the gas sands of pee ey rane g ail deg iete: and the prostration of the manufac- a turing eres that become dependent A Fatel Mistake. upon its use.

When the road from Columbia to Charlotte was built it would have been built to Salisbury instead of Charlotte if Rowan had extended proper assistance. The same was the case with the Air Lise Road from Atlanta to Charlotte. With these roads Salisbury would have been what Charlotte is, and land in Rowan would have been worth as much as it is in Meckienburg, and our people would have enjoyed as low freight as they do. We think our fi ithers made a great blunder in not getting those roads But in those cases the bonds en have been issued before the roads were built and there was ‘some risk of the rorad being left incomplete. — In this ease the road is to be built first, and there is no risk, if the road is not finished from the sea to Salisbury in two years we pay nothing.

The reader can test the subject by promising to pay a very tired man a dollar for hold- ing one end of a string while he twists the other. If the tired man never af- terwards asks for the dollar, why then he has forgotten the promise and the theory is true. If. however, after the man has rested and been fed he should insist on having the dollar, then the money and the theory are both gone.

The fiftieth Congress met last Mon- day. By 10 o'clock members and people began to mect in the halls and galleries. The Senate and House were called to order at noon, and the usual religions services observed. Various preliminary subjects and the reading of the President’s Message, came before each body which occupied them until 34 o'clock, at which hour the two Houses adjourned. President Cleveland’s message opens with the usual survey of foreign relations, and one third of the message is devoted to a discussion and review of foreign re- lations. Our government, he says, has consistently maintained its relations of friendship toward all other powers and neighborly interest toward those whose possessions are contiguous to our own. Few question have arisen during the past year with other governments, and none of them are beyond the reach of settle- ment in friendly counsel. The cruel TREATMENT OF INOFFENSIVE CHINESE, In the far West is alluded to, and in speak- ing of a remedy, he says, the paramount duty of maintaining publie order and de- fending the interests of our own people may require the adoption of measures of restretions. But they should not tolerate the oppression of individuals of a special race. Heurgently renews his reconinen- dation of legislation to carry into effect the MEXICAN ROCIPROCITY TREATY Of January, 1883, and prosposes to initi- ate negotations with Mexico for a new and large treaty of commerce and legisla- tion. Referring to the Cutting case he says: ‘The incident has disclosed a claim of jurisdiction by Mexieo novel in our history whereby any offense commit- ted any where by a foreigner is penal. In the place of its commission of which a Mexican, is the object may, if the offend- er be found in Mexico, be there tried and punished in conformity with Mexican laws. This jurisdiction was sustained by the courts of Mexico and approved by the executive branch of that gov- ernment upon the authority of a Mex- ican statute. The appellate court in releasing Mr. Cutting decided that the e ; abandonment “of the complaint by the Mexican citizen, aggrieved by the alleged crime (a libelous publication) removed the basis of further prosecu- tion, and also declared justice to have been satisfied by the enforcement of a small part of the original sentence. The} admission of such a pretention, the Pres- ident argues, would be attended with serious results, invasive of the jurisdic- tion of this government, and highly dan- gerous to our citizens in foreign lands. Therefore he has denied it and protested against its attempted exercise, unwarrant- ed by the principles of law and interna- tional usages. A sovereign has jurisdic- tion of offenses which take eflect within his territory, although concocted or com- menced outside of it, but the right is de- nied of any foreign sovereign to punish a citizen of the United States for an offense consummated on our soil in violation of our laws, even though the oflense be against a subject or such sovereign. * * * THE TARIFF, and to this the President devotes a great deal of space arguing that the necessity for a reduction of the tariffis more urgent than ever. The income of the govern- ment he says, by its increased yolume and through economies in its calculations is now more than ever in excess of pub- lic necessities. The application of the surplus to the payment of such portion of the public debt as is now at our option subject to extinguishment, and if contin- ued at the rate which has lately prevail- ed, would reduce that class of indebted- ness within less than one year from this date. Thus a continuation of our present revenue system would soon result in the recept of an annual income much greater than necessary to meet the government expenses, with no indebtedness upon which it could be applied. We should then be confronted with a vast quantity of money, the circulating wediuin of the people hoarded in the treasury when it should be in their hands or we should be drawn into wasteful public extraya- gance withall the corruption and national demoralization which follows in its train. But it is not the simple existence of this surplus and its threatened attendant evil whieh furnishes the strongest argument against our present scale of federal taxa- tion. Its worst phase is the exaction of such a surplus through oppression of the relations between the people and their government, and a dangerous departure from the rules which limit the right of federal taxation. Good government, and especially the goyernment of every Amer- ican citizen’s boasts, has for its objects the ; protection of every person within its care in the greatest liberty consistent with the good order of society and his perfect secu- rity in the enjoyment of his earnings with the least possible diminution for public needs, when more of the people’s substance is exacted through the form of | taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of the government, and the expense of its economical adminis- | tradon, Such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the funda- mehtal principles of a free government. The indirect manner in which these ex- actions are made, has a tendency to con- ceal their true character and their extent. But we have arrived at a stage of super- fluous revenue which has aroused the people to a realization of the fact that the umount received professedly for the sup- port of the government is paid by them as absolutely as if added to the price of the things which supply their daily wants; as if it was paid at fixed periods to the tax gatherer. * * I recommend that keeping in view all these considerations, the increasing and unnecessary surplus of national income, annually accumulating, be released to the people by an amendment to our revenue laws, Which shall cheapen the price of the necessaries of life and give freer entrance to such imported materials as by Ameri- can labor may be manufactured into mar- ketable commodities. | Nothing can be accomplished however in the direction of this much needed reform unless the sub- ject is approached in a patriotic spirit of devotion to the interests of the entire country and with a willingness to yield something for the public good, while on the subject oftariffand revenue the Presi- dent especally directs the attention of Con- gress to the recommendations of the Secretary of the Treasury, touching the simple fixation and amendment of the laws relating to the collection of reve- nucs. THE SILVER QUESTION. Less space is devoted to the silver ques- tion this year than last, but his opposition to colpulsory coinage is no less pronounc- ed. diflerence in the bullion price of the standard dollar 94} cents shed first coined, and its bullion value 78 cents, on the 80th of last November, certainly does not indicate, the President says, that compulsory coinage by the government embraces the price of that coinmodity, or secures uniformity in its value. He has seen no reason to change the views ex- pressed a year ago on the subject of com- pulsory coinage, and again urges its sus- yepsion on all the grounds contained in iis former recommendations reinforced by the significant increase of our gold exportations during the last year, and for the further reasons that the more this currency is distributed among the people the greater becomes our duty to protect it from disaster; and that we have an abundance for all our needs, and that there seeins but little propriety in build- ing vaults to store such currency when the only pretense fur its coinage is the necessity of its use by the people as a circulating medium. a * THE NAVY. The condition of our navy as shown by the Secretary of that department should * challenge the carnest attention of Cunzre: 8 | The production in the United States of armor and gun steel is a question which it seems necessary to settle at an carly day, if the ordered war vessels are to be completed with those materials of home manufacture. In the event that the pres- ent siuation of the Department forbids to furnish such of this material now au- thorized, it shall fail to induce home manufacturers to undertake the large ex- penditures required to prepare for this new manufacture, and if no other steps are taken by Congress, at its coming ses- sion, the Sccretary contemplates with dissatisfaction, the necessity of obtaining abroad the armor and the gun-steel for the authorized ships. It would seem de- sirable, the President adds, that the wants of the army and the navy, in this regard, should be met and that by unit- ing their contracts such inducements might be offered as would result in the domestication on these important in- terests. THE POSTAL SERVICE, Postal service affairs show a marked and gratfying improvement during the past year. The increase of revenue is in a gaining ratio over the increase of cost, demonstrating the sufficiently ofthe pres- ent cheap rates of postage ultimately to sustain the service. * rn * OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBT extension proposition, he says that Con- gress in considering the plan suggested by the Secretary of the Interior, and endorsed by the board of government directors, the sole matters which should be taken into account are, ‘* The = situa- tion of the Government as a creditor and the surest way to secure the payment of the principal and interests of the debt.” OF INTER-STATE COMMERCE, He says “That by a recent decision of Supreme Court of the United States, it has been adjudzed that the laws of the several States are inoperative to regulate rates of transportation upon a railroad. If such regulation interferes with the rate of carriage from one State into another, this important field of control and regu- lation having been thus entirely unoccu- pied, the expendiency of Federal action upon the subject is worthy of considera- tion. THE LABOR QUESTION, Of the relations of labor to capital, the President thinks that when these differ- ences between employer and employed reach such a stage as to result in the in interruption of commerce between the States the application of arbitration by the general government might be regard- ed as entirely within its constitutional power, and he thinks we might recasona- bly hope that such arbitration, if careful- ly selected, and if entitled to the confi- dence of the parties to be affected, would be voluntarily called to the settlement of gontroversies of less extent and not nec- essarily within the domain of Federal reeulation. The President recommends asa plain duty on the part of the Gov- ernment the payment of a million and a quarter dollars still due to the Freed- man's Savings Bank depositors. Civil service reforin is the last important topic discussed in the message. The continued operation of the civil service Jaw he as- serts has added the most convincing proofs of its necessity and usefulness. Every public officer who has a just idea of his duty to the people testifies to the value of this reform. Its staunchest friends are found among those who un- derstand it best, and its warmest support- ers are those who are restrained and pro- tected by its requirements. The mean- ing of such restraint and prose is not appreciated by those who want place- under the Government, regardless of merit and efficiency, nor by those who insist that the sclection for such places should rest upon a proper credential showing active partisan work. — _ ._ -<+>-— -—— Rail-Road Election in Davie Co.

The report will state that three thousand -five hundred and eighty national banks have been organized, of which 2.858 are now in op- eration; of these 174 have been organized during the past year, with a capital of $21,000,000. Twenty-four banks went into voluntary liquidation during the year, one ceases to exist by expiration of char- ter and eight failed. Since the beginning of the system in 1863 only 112 national bank havefailed. Of these thirty-eight have paid their creditors in full and twenty have paid interest, besides fifteen in full and five in part. The contraction in national bank circulation during the year exceeds $56,000,000. The aggregate deposits in the bamk have increased from $522,000,600 in January, 1886, to $1,173,- 000,000 in October, 1886, whilé loans and accounts have risen from $500,000,000 at the former date to $1,448,000,000 at the latter date. The specie held by the na- tional banks in 1866 was only $8,000,000, while in July, 1885, it was $177,000,000 and it is now $156,000,000. ee, It wasn'ta Gorilla. THE RIVERSIDE MONSTER WAS A CRAZY NEGRO DRRSSED IN COW HIDES. The residents of Riverhead, L.I., have been inastate of great excitement du- ring the past week over the report that a large gorilla was sporting in the woods a few miles from the village. Gunners were chased out of the woods leaving their guns and birds behind them in or- der to escape the clutches of the ugly monster. ‘The gorilla was said to be the size of a man, and hid in ambush until his prey came along. During the night, belated people on the highways were brushed against by the inonster, and greatly terrorized, farmers were robbed of their turnips, cabbage and other pro- ducts, until finally they decided to stop it. Parties were organized and searched the woods with guns, clubs, pitchforks and other weapons, but without avail. Yesterday a third party went out, and after enough powder and shot to start a young magazine was wasted tle monster was surrounded while in hiding and sent recling on the ground from a blow on the head wijth a club. In an instant the whole party fell upon the prostrate form of the “monster” and amid the kicks and blows, cries for mercy were heard. It was then discovered that the captive was a coal black negro, named ‘Sam’ Youngs, who lives as a hermit in the woods. He had made a skin-tight suit out of some cowhide and attached a cow’s tail be- hind, Youngs, when questioned as to what was his motive for sucha disguise, said he was making a livelihood by robbing the gunners and farmers. He was then cautioned by one of the farmers that if any more such pranks were played his life would not be worth much. The news of the capture quickly spread through the town, and many threats were made to finish the negro.—N. Y. Star. - ae NOTICE TO DRUGGISTS AND STORE KEEPERS.

We advert to the subject at this time to suggest that the members of the next legislature should review the laws on the subject with particular reference to their efficiency, and to supply any de- fects that may exist in them. The evil ought to be abated, and the Jaw simpli- fied, and perhaps brought under the jurisdiction of a magistrate, if it is net already so. | ee Bor the Watchinan. Rotation in Office. Messrs. Editors :—I beg leave to express through your columns, my hearty con- currence on the views expressed in your last issue, by your correspondent over the nom de plume of * Rotation,’ and I feel sure he expresses the sentiment of a very large number of the democratic voters of Rowan. The people are really becoming not only tired, but disgusted, with the present state of things. Like “Rotation,” we have not a word to say against our present county officials. They are gentlemen, in every sense, well qualified and eflicient and personal triends of your correspondent. — But, ad- mitting all this, is it right or is it just, that they, or any other set of men should hold a life term in the otlices? | Suppose they are competent, faithful and ellicient, jis that any reason why other men might not be equally so? Our mind reverts back with mortifi- cation to the manner in which an excel- lent and popular young man was once treated. We refer to Capt. Coughenour. He beat his opponent in the convention | but the them incumbent ¢ried “not fair,” and ran as an “independent,” and was elected. Again, in later times, a most excellent man defeated the incumbent in the Sheriff's office in the convention. | But the old Sheriff cried * unfair’ and jran and was elected. Two years there- jafter, the same thing occurred again be- | tween the same parties, and the old in- hcumbent was again elected, Such occur- jrences ure not calculated to strengthen, |but demoralize any party that tolerates ‘them, and it is within the personal knowledge of the writer, that the cases above mentioned did weaken the party, and drive out of its ranks, a number of good men; and who can think strange, {that such would) be the result of such ‘treatment? The aspirants alluded to, | were fully es competent as the old in- cumbents, and who will undertake to say [that they did not have equal rights to aspire to the offices sought. It is always ito be assumed that when two or more }persons aspire to a nomination by a con- vention, that each aspirant will endeavor to assemble his full strength in said con- | vention. 3ut we haye actually known }men to absent themselves from a conyen- }tion, simply because the friends of an { { jaspirant were making strong efforts to /nominate aman who was not their fay- j}orite, and then, when their favorite bolt- }ed, and cried ** not fair,’ and ran as an }independant, they too would join in the ery of “not fair,” and support him. My jidea is, and always has been, that the | proper place to make the fight, is in the convention, and then, to vote for the i/nomince, whether he be our favorite or | not. | Our school officials are all calling for a | higher grade of education, and our legis- | lation of late years, is shaped with a view {to such results. Our young men are be- ling better educated, and henee, are bet- |ter qualified for business than in former j times. | We have a very large number of young imen (old ones too) Who are just as honest just as affable, and equally as competent, jas any of the present incumbents in our ) county offices. But, if this “ life term” ; system isto remain in vogue, what en- 'couragement have our young men to Uy | ap . ae. ; to quality and fit themselves for position? It claims that, had | It is idle, it is ridiculous, aud a slur upon | our county and our people, to say that there are none others but the present in- To the Citizens of Rowan County. SALIsBury, N.C. Dee. 9th, 1886. On my arrival here, I found a rumor in circulation that the Railroad Company which I have the honor to represent, in- tend to build the South Atlantic and Northwestern Railroad through Rowan county with convict labor. It is very likely that the rumor eminates from par- ties who have heretofore clamored at the doors of the Legislature of your State at every session fer convict labor and toa considerable extent succeeded in their efforts in this direction and built their lines of Railroad in your State largely with this class of labor. To the ordinary mind it would scem somewhat strange that cue pecple all at once become so solicitous of the interest and welfare of the laboring men of Rowan county, when as every opportunity that presents itself, lose sight of all interest in the dear laboring men by employing convict labor. I feel confident that the laboring men of Rowan will see the matter in its true light. We have no convict labor at our command and know of none in the fu- ture. If the people of Rowan desire our road to be built through their county, and so express themselves by their votes no convict labor will be employed. Very RKesp’t. Yours, J. B. Bilheimer, Contractor S.A. & N.W.R. R. In Memoriam. Mrs. Harriet E. Thomason, relict of the late John Thomason, formerly of Rowan, but late of Catawba county, was born March Ist 1828, and died (of pneu- monia) at her residence, four miles North West of Newton, on the 3rd December, inst, aged 58 years, 9 months and 2 days, leaving 6 sons, 3 daughters, several grandchildren, 1 brother 2 sisters and many relations to mourn her loss. The deceased was a daughter of the late David and Eleanor Fraley (who resided many years, four miles North of Gold Hill,) and a sister to W. R. Fraley, Esq., of Franklin township. Atan early age (under the ministration of the late Rev. John Lantz,) she connected herself with the ‘Lower Stone,’’ German Reformed church, and remained a consistant meni- ber of that branch of the Christian Church, up to the time of her death. At the youthful age of 20 years, she married John Thomason, on the 30th June 1848, and resided with him in Frank- lin township until 1849, when she remoy- ed with him to Arkansas. After remain- ing there for one year, they removed to Catawba connty, N.C. where her hus- band purchased the farm on which she resided until her death. Her husband having died, she was left a widow fora number of years. By energy, prudence and industry, she succeeded in raising her 8 children, nearly all to maturity, three of whom are married. Through her excellent example, her children all grew up to be houest and in- dustrious, and she leaves them in the possession of the heritage of a good name, and of abundant means for their comfort and support. Ifer remains were interred at St. Paul's German Reformed church, on the 4th December.

They are particularly urged to send within the next ten days any news of purchases, sales, new finds, character and depth of underground workings, new machinery, &c., that the present status of the work in North Caro- lina may be collated and givento the public by the first of the coming new year.

Note the change of address and send any informa- tion pertinent to mining to T. K. Bruner, Raleigh, N.C. EMERALD AND HIDDENITE MINE, Prof. W. E. Hidden who has been operating the Emerald and Hiddenite mines in Alexander county, N. C., re- ports the finding of several ‘‘pockets” or cavities in the formation which have yielded a number of gems, the finest of them being the hiddenite, i. ¢. emerald green variety of spodumene, The ground ‘at this locality yields large quantities of quartz crystals, most of which are found loose in the soil. These crystals are more or less modified and are generally found in clusters or “pockets” as miners call these places. In going over the surface Prof. Hidden observes these erystals and notes the modifications, color and other characteristics; for they serve him asa guide. By continued and careful inves- tigation he has become so familiar with these crystals and their agsociations that he can tell whether he is going to find underneath limpid beryls, rich green emeralds, or emerald green hiddenites. Among the recent finds there are some exquisite hiddenites of the proper depth and richness of color, At this same locality some extraordinary garnets have been found. They are exceeding bril- liant and are nearly as rich and flashing as the ruby. . ROUTHERN MINES. Mr. R. P. Waring, the Assayer in charge of the United States Assay Office, at Charlotte, N. C. has made to Hon. James P. Kimball, Director of the mint, areport of the mines and mining in the Appalachian Range, which includes the States of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Speaking in a general way of the situationin North Carolina he truly says: “Greater atten- “tion was paid tothe treatment of ores, “and decided progress was made in the and in mill “amalgamation. The chlorination works “of the State were vigorously operated, “and offered, and still offer, a home mar- “ket for concentrates and other moderate |‘or high grade auriferous sulphurets, and “at prices allowing a considerably larger “margin to the miner.” A little further ion he alludes to the English capital em- ployed in North Carolina, in the follow- ing manner: “‘Considerable English capi- ‘tal is now invested jin North Carolina “and under fairly favorable conditions, “except that here as elsewhere the mines “have been put onthe market at too This is very true and is mildly, if not really understated. With “high prices.” cullege with 100 to 800 students, and its | tives have given way to the largest and | | | Mn | a knowledge of some of the transactions which have been conducted between American and English promoters, it is astonishing that any American, and ¢es- pecially any Southern mining property, could be floated at any price in England or France.

The weakness of frail,human nature to resist a temptation to acquire a large sum, even ina questionable way, has generally been illustrated most happily by the experts” who do the work of examination and pre- pare the reports. No matter if he be American or English, he generally makes more money than such heavily burden- ed miners produce—above interest on investment and cost of production. Mr. Waring then offers the following statistics, Which are reproduced as of general interest to all who are interested in Mining in the South: PRODUCTION OF GOLD IN N.C. FOR 18865, County.

Medical author- ities suy it is due to atmospheric germs, uneven eee the body, rapid cooling when in prespi- ration, &c. The important point is, that a cold in the head is a genuine rhinis és, an inflamatson of the lining meimbr:ne of the nose, which, when unchecked, is certain to produce a catarrhal condi- tion—for catarh is essentially a ‘‘cold” which nature is no longer able to “resolve” or throw off.

[Special Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser. ] SaissuRy, Rowan Co., N. C., Nov. 20.—When toward the close of the war Stoneman’s troopers rode into this town they found it a considerable place as compared with many others they had visited. The broad, well shaded streets crossed each other at right angles, the houses were roomy, comfortable look- ing abodes, standing in the midst of lawns and gardens. The trim walks bordered with prim rows of box, the old-fashioned flowers and herb, the roses and more modern plants that were blooming in the sunny spots, all told of a community thet, until war came upon it, had enjoyed life in a quiet refined fashion. But Salisbury had been unfortunate in that the confeder- ate military authorities had, without saying * by your leave” to her citizens, located a prison camp in the suburbs. Most of the people regretted the sclec- tion, but were powerless to prevent it, nor had the many who felt charitable disposed to the captives any opportu- nity to do them kindness. Of course, all this was unknown to the raiders, who, some for revenge, and others out vf pure wantonness, did considerable damage at first, but after a few days every disorder was repressed, and the troops quartered in the town were soon on friendly terms with the citizens. The Watchman, a weekly paper, the representative of the mining interests of this section, 1s published here. — It has entered upon its fifty-third year, and for nearly all that time it has been owned and edited by Mr. John Joseph Bruner, who is now, I believe, the nestor of the North Carolina press. Although nearing his three seore and ten years, Mr. Bruner is as regularly at | his oficve and attending to its affairs as j though he had just sturted in life. As | this veteran printer was apprenticed to ithe trade when but S years old, he has ibeen setting type nearly sixty years. | When the raiders arrived they visited his oalice (which was then one of the | | besp appointed printing: houses in the | Stake) and soon had the press iii pieces jand the type a high pile of “pi” in the j middle of the floor. But there were }some printers among those calvarymen, who, when they found what had been }done, went to Mr. Bruner’s assistance, | and, after they had the place in some- thing like order, they issued the Wateh- lan and announced, under heavily ‘leaded headlines, that Stoneman had jcome town. Some of these men be- icame warinly attuched to the veteran feditor and secured many good jobs from headquarters for him, and when ithey “went marching home again” there was mutual regret at parting. | During its half century of existence forty journals have atttempted to oc- icupy the WatecAman’s field, but none | have succeeded. Mr. Thomas K. Bra- | ner, a son of the old editor, has relieved | his father of most of the editorial work. He was a small lad at the time, but he | has a vivid remembrance of Stoneman’s raid. Like many men educated mainly in printing offices, the younger Bruner has a large fund of practical knowledge. The mineral wealth of this country has for many years attracted to it scores of scientists and hundreds of trained mining specialists. The Watchman has always chronicled their doings, and its office has been their favorite resort. Brought up amid such surroundings the younger Bruner early acquired a taste for nuneralogical studies and in- vestigations, and he is now a recogniz- ed authority on the precious ores, the gems and the general mineralogy of this state. He 1s one of that large and yearly increasing number of southern young men who are intelligently and most industriously enguged in develop- ing the natural resources of their states, or in converting the abounding raw materials close at hand into all forms of manufactured goods. | Young men of this stamp are fast coming to the front in etiel pursuits, and by their examples and successes are help- ing forward the progress of the new south. SALISBURY'S TRADE AND INDUSTRIES. Salisbury has always been a consid- erable trading point. Rowan county soil is noted fur productiveness. — Its farmers are among the few in this state who raise large hay crops and send their surplus in bales to market. Asheville’s stables are supplied to ajlarge extent from here, although they might be from the farms in a radius of five miles from that beautiful city if the agriculturists of that region so chose. Wheat and all other cereals yield hand- somely, and orchards and vineyards Hourish. Rowan farmers who under- stand and attend to their business are generally in good circumstances, an are profitable customers of the city merchants. The gold mines in this and adjoining counties add much to the business of this place. There is also some manufacturing, but nothing to what there mignt be, and undoubtedly willbe before ‘long. But the great factor in the town’s trade is the Rich- mond and Danville railroad and_ its tributary the Western North Carolina, which extends from here to the moun- tains and then divides into two branch- es, one pushing toward Knoxville, Tennessee, the other toward north SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, latter ~has assumed vast proportions and is steadily increasing. The sren= ger traffic is also very much heavier than it was two years ago. Many tourists stop over here several days and leave considerable money behind them. All these are contributions to the growth of Salisbury. There are two new railroads project- ed that, when constructed, will add largely to the town’s importance. Both these are to come from the south- east, and one will open direct commnu- nication with tide water at Smithville (which is at the mouth of the Cape ‘ear river,) and make this one of the chief central depots of distribution for for the state. Such is not the un- reasonable belief of S:lisbury’s citizens. CITY IMPROVEMENTS. The people seem to be wide awake to the necessity of improving their city. They have voted to put in public water, and are discussing other modern appli- ances. They have gas lights in the streets, too far apart, however, and the gas 1s not as good as it might be. The sidewalks in the business streets are poorly paved. But despite these little drawbacks, that will be remedied before long, the place is going ahead, for when yrogressive ideas once acquire headway ina North Carolina town there is no cessation of effort until all possible im- provements have been made. Formerly the place lay on the west side of the track of the Piedmont Air Line rail- road. Now there are streets and dwel- lings to the east of it, aad the sixteen acres once enclosed by the stockade that surrounded the union prisoners are now covered with neat houses and gardens. Between there and the national ceme- tery, a quarty of a mile to the south, a large new two-story building stands out conspicuously. It is the graded school for colored pupils built at the town’s expense, and maintained by general taxation. It stands there, a silent wit- ness to the tremendous changes that time has wroaght. The flag of the union floats above the graves of more than 12,000 dead soldiers in the ceme- tery, testifying to a nation’s reverent care for the ashes of its heroes, while this great white schoo! house is. in no less aserse, the voluntary tribute of those who were once its fves to the supremacy of the nation and to the perpetuity of the union. RAIL ROAD ELECTION. Facts for the People. On Dee. 21st the citizens of Rowan are to determine whether our county shall subseribe $100,000 in bonds run- ning forty years, to the South Atlantic & Northwestern Railroad. In order that our people may have a firm foundation on which to base their opinions we sub- mit the following facts for their con- sideration. WHY WE NEED THE The people of our county are paying at least $30,000 too much freight an- nually, a larger amount than all our State and county taxes, because we have no competing line. In Charlotte, because they have two lines over which they can ship their cotton to New York, they pay 40 cents a bale less freight than we do. This fact is noto- rious and was proved in our court in the Ross cases. Now Rowan ships a- bout 5,000 bales of cotton a year, on which is paid $2,000 too much freight. This amount would pay nearly half the interest on the $100,000 of bonds, and it is paid by those who raise the cotton, because we have no competing line of Railroad. A car load of wagons is ship- ped from Cincinnati to Baltimore over the Western R. R. through Salisbury for $108 less than has to be paid if it stops here, making each wagon cost #44 more here than at Baltimore. This excess is paid by the Rowan county far- mer because we have no competing line. One firm in Salisbury pays $1300 more freight a year for goods received in car loads than it would pay if it was doing business in Raleigh, and this excess is paid by the Rowan county farmers be- cause we have no competing line. Lime costs here $1.50 a barrel, at other places no nearer the lime kiln it costs 45 ets., 30AD. cent of tax levied, wid the Railroad is ult, equipped, and running regularl i for Gees of freight A mere | gers from Smithville to Salisbury, a dis- tance of about 240 miles, when one- half the bonds are to be delivered, and the other half when the Road is built and regularly running to the Davie line. Unless the Road is completed to Salisbury within two years the sub- scription is to be void. These are the }terms upon which the subscription is asked, so that the county runs no risk of loss. - NO CONVICTS. No convicts are to be employed in building this road. WHAT WILL THE TAX BE. We begin onr statement on this sub- ject by printing the following certifi- cate from Mr. Woodson, of the net amount of the taxes for last year after various losses and expense in collection were deducted. I certify that the State tax last year was 25 cents on the hundred dollars, the county tax was 20 cents and the school tax 20 cents, and that the net amount yielded by property and polls from the above taxes was 28.615 57. Horatio N. Woopson, Clerk. Board County Commissioners. Now it is easy to see, that if a tax of 65 cents on the hundred dollars yielded $28,615 a tax of ten cents would yield $4404. But when we need the money the Railroad will have 26 miles of road valued at $10,000 a mile to be taxed. This $260,000 will yield to the county after the Sheriff's fees are deducted $617.50 more than enough to pay the balance of interest on the the bonds, besides paying to the State and to the school fund a net tax of S494 each. Thus the interest on our bonds would cost us when the tax is first laid not more than 10 cents on the hundred dol- lars, and a less amount as our taxable property increases in value. Indeed at the present rate of taxation there is often a surplus in the County Treasury of $2,000 or $3,000 which could be used to reduce the R. R. tax. STOCK GIVEN FOR THE BONDS. The $100,000 voted to the Road is nota ywift, for it we are to receive $100,000 in stock in the Road. With honest management this stock ought soon to be worth par and to yield good dividends. © Stocks in the N.C. R.A. is now worth above par and its divi- dends 6 per cent or moce. If there should be a strazyle betwen capitalists for control of the Road, and such a struggle must come sooner or later, stock may be worth more than par. MONEY BEFORE WE ARE TAXED. All the work below Salisbury and most of the grading in our county above Salisbury would have to be com- pleted before a bond would be issued. The grading of these 26 miles of Road would cost at 85,000 a mile, $130,000. The cross ties would cost more than £16,000. The timber and stone for bridges would cost a large amount. Thus between $150,000 and 200,000 would be paid to the farmers and labor- ers of Rowan county before we would have to pay a cent of tax. MISSING OPPORTUNITIES. When the road from Columbia to Charlotte was built if would have been built to Salisbury instead of Charlotte if Rowan had extended proper assistance, The same was the case with the Air Line Road from Atlanta to Charlotte. With these roads Salisbury would have been what Charlotte is, and land in Rowan would have been worth as mucl as it is in Mecklenburg, and our people would have enjoyed as low freight as they do. = We think our fathers made a great blunder in not getting those roads. But in those cases the bonds would have been issued before the roads were built and there was some risk of the road being left incomplete. — In this ease the road is to be buiit. tirst. and there is no risk, if the road is 1ot finished from the sea to Salisbury in two years we pay nothing. Here is our opportunity. and this excessive freight is paid by the Rowan county farmers because we have | uo competing line. Hay has sold here | this fall at from 20 to 30 cents a hun- dred; and in Rockingham, only 60 miles distant by the proposed line of Road, it has been selling at from 90 to 100 centsa hundred, and vet if we ship hay to them the Railroads take the entire dif- ference between the prices for freight. Thus the Rowan county farmer loses about 50 or 60 cesits a hundred on his hay because we have no competing line of Railroad. We have given only a few items. We pay too much freight on every thing we send off and on every thing we receive. Too much freight on cotton, too much on tobacco, too much on your grain, too much on hay, too much on granite, too much on the food we eat, too much on the coffee and tea we drink, too much on the clothes we wear, too much on the tools we work with, too much on the coffins we bury in, too much on the tombstones we set up over the dead, because we have no competing line of Road. THIS ROAD. The proposed road is to run from Smithville, N. C. to Bristol, Tenn., through Salisbury, thus giving us an- other line to the sea ant also to the great Northwest. NO ROAD NO BONDS.

The houlevserement of races conse- quent upon emancipation has produced consequences to be expected from the motives which influenced the liberators and the expectations inspired in the hiberated. ‘The fundamental idea with the first was that the negro, the man and brother, unrighteously restrained, be it said from his creation, from the rights of freedom, when invested with that inestimable gift, became at once the social and political equal of the white man. Not unnaturally the ne- gro was prompt to accept the admis- sion, and made haste to avail himself of all the privileges it brought with it. The most profitable use of these privileges was, of course, political recog- nition advancement. This the party in power was more than ready to grant. it was greedy to demonstrate the sin- cerity of its convictions of race equali- ty: earnest to prove its devotion to the cause of an oppressed people; eager to proffer compensation for long denied nights; and not atall slow to humiliate the oppressors by putting in power over them those so long cowering un- der the lish of slavery. Time enough has passed for the popular temper to recover its equilib- rium, time enough to examine wheth- er our institutions should bej sub- jected to this discordant clash of race ambition; time enough to question whether the white race is called upon to abdicate its right and claim to di- rect the affairs of the country; time enough to ask whether the grave and momentous interests of the country shall be imperilled by the demands of sentimentalism. cr it is nothing more than sentimentalism, sickly or depraved, that demands the sudden and immediate elevation of a people buried since the time that history had a re- cord, in the depths of slavery and bar- banism, to the heights and rights at- tained by the white race after centuries of struggle with tyranny, learning by experience the cost and value of liberty; paad) groping their way with painful step trom the lowest depths o£ intel- lectual darkness to the brightest efful- gence of mental light. Dovs it stand to reason that those blessings attained with so much cost, should be carelessly shared with those who have had freedom thrust upon thein without effort of their own, and whose enlightenment is only the dim reflection of mental rush-leht? Now we take the position unequivo- cally, that this is the white man’s country, and this, the white man’s gov- erninent; the one subdued by the white man’s valor and energy; the other created by the white man’s cour- wre, intelligence and spirit of liberty. into the field of politics, and into rights of official rewards, ts a gross interpola- tion of offensive incongruities. It is enough for the nevro that he has been liberated from slavery; that he has been invested with the full rights of aitizenship; that he can aequire, hold and enjoy property, the fruits of his own labor; that he can acquire educa- tion; and that he has the opportunity intelligently to exercise the rights and duties of citizenship. But he has yet acquired no right to be called as a rule. over us. We admit the remarkable de- velopment made by individuals of African blood. Acquirements in learn- ing, in oratory, in thrift are somewhat startling. But these do not alter the case, and in fact are only insolated and exceptional, and do not jusitfy break- ing down the barrier which instinet, if nothing more, crects against the intru- sion of other races and other people into the administration of pate af- fairs. ‘The American mind is fixed a- gainst commingling with other blood; it resents the intrusion of other races. Right under the eye of the govern- ment at Washington, are Chinese offi- clals as astute, as intellectual, as eul- tivated, as adroit and skillful diplo- mats as the world present. Yet a Chinese, they are socially ostracized, and their race prosembed. The Chi- nese had the inteiligence and the meth- od to create a civilization, peculiar to itself, but the wonder of man- kind. They lived to themselves in close seclusion and buit up a power which has stood strong and unchanged for thousands of years. The negroes with a continent to themselves through the same perod, make no farther ad- vance 1n civilization than the apes that shared the forests with them, and only became known to civilization as they were dragged out from the depths of the interior to supply the material for the slave markets of the world. Yet in Washington, where the Chi- nese 1s ostracised, the negro is deified almost, elevated to office, and made arbiter of social and official destiny. Wecall fora change. We must see the sole claim of the white man recog- nized. We cannot tolerate the idea of negro superiors over needy whites. We abhor the idea that negro officials should lord it over white females. We yant and must have an official list an- contaminated with the touch of anoth- er race. We want a white man’s gov- ernment, National and State. If there were no other reason, the one of moral unfitness would prevent itself. Of this there are illustrations abundant enough to be furnished. As an abstract question of parties, in their choice we would be brought to dis- 5 if both recognized the equal right of the negro to a sharé in the offices. We have the kindliest feeling for the negro. We would encourage and aid him in his moral, mental and. ma- terial advantage in eyery possible way. We rejoice in his liberatien from slav- ery, and rejoice in the proper use of his freedom. Bat for all this, do not make ‘him ruler,over us, either in great things or in small.— Asheville Citizen.

Fullerton, 32 W. Third st., Lowel], Mass. I was very much afflicted, about a year ago, with Scrofulous Sores on my face and body. I tried several remedies, and was treated by a number of physicians, but received no benefit until I commenced taking Avyer’s Sarsaparilla. Since using this medicine the sores have all disap- peured, and I feel, to-day, like a new man. tun thoroughly restored to health and strength. — Taylor James, Versailles, Ind.

About fifteen years ago, Forsyth Co. voted a subscription of one hundred thousand dollars to a Railroad from Greensboro to Salem, a distance of 26 miles, bonds to be issued at once, with- out positive assurance that the road would ever be completed. The cars commenced running on their road in 1872. The value of taxable property in the County as assessed in that year was $2.107.140. The growth of the County seat, Winston, and the improve- ment in the entire County, is sim sly marvelous. The price of real estate fhe jucreased : the Railroad debt is settled, and Forsyth is now claiming to be the banner county of North Carolina. The value of her taxable property as assess- ed in 1886, amounts to $9.212,779— nearly three times that of 1572. She owes all this wonderful! prosperity to having voted one hundred thousand dollars to secure Railroad facilities. Without it, she was doomed to obscuri- ty; with it, her prosperity was assured, and it is now impossible to fix the hm- its of her increased wealth in the time to come. In this progressive age counties and communities must keep step in the d march or be left behind. Row- an has already lagged behind many of her sister counties, but she now has a splendid opportunity to regain lost ud- vantages, and by a single bound come to the front. let her citizens vote for “ Subscription,” next T uesday. a ee President McKinnon. The Charlotte Observer, of the 12th instant, publishes a statement in re- gard to the health of this gentleman, which is greatly exaggerated, not to say totally incorrect. We have seen a let- ter from President McKinnon, dated Dec. 10th, in which he says: “We have 116 (students) on our rolls and expect a few recruits after Christmas, though the hard times are pressing down on us very heavily. “My health is slowly, but steadily im- roving. . “Everything is going on_ here pleas- antly, and I hope successfully.” ot a word in the letter going to sustain the publication in the Charlotte Observer, which evidently spoke with- out the record or the facts in the case. —_——-—-_-—_— ——_ Killed for @15.

It will be remem- bered that the four Synods of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida, which control the Theological Seminary in Columbia, desired that Prof, Woodrow, who filled the Perkins Chair of Natural Seience in Connection with Revelation, should resign. The Board of Directors yesterday sent a committee to Professor \Voodrow with a resolution requesting his resignation. Dr. Woodrow replied declining to resign, The board then adopted the folowing resolution: Resolved, in accordance with instruc- tions received from the four control- ing Synods of this seminary, that he be and is thereby removed from the Chair of Natural Science in Connection with Revelation, and that the Secretary be instructed to communicate this action to Dr. Woodrow. The seminary has been closed fora year and will not be opened before next suinmer. All the chairs are vacant save one. The above is copied from the Char- lotte Obserrer of December 13th. Dr. Woodrow bas inflicted a deal of trouble on the Presbyteries charged with the management of the Theological Seminary at Columbia, but it is hoped the end, so far as they are concerned with him, has at last been reached. He has greatly damaged the Institution in which he was honored with a Chair, by arresting and hindering its opera- tions, and for a time, at least, crippling its usefulness. Asa disturber he isa decided success, whatever he may be otherwise. This action of the Board will receive the cordial approbation of all fair minded people of whatever denomina- tion if they have stronger faith in Moses’ genesis of man than they have in Darwin’s evolution from the monkey. + _= A correspondent of the N.

Competition is not now so much “the life of trade as “Combina- tion.” What are Taxes. Sanpy Ripa, Dee, 7, 1836. Mr. Editor :—The result of the election on the Zist inst will in all probability be determined by the view voicrs take of the question of taxes. I believe very few thinking men would oppose the building of the road were it not for the fear of high taxes. Now what isatax? It is defined as yote tribute, ke. Do the farmers know how much tax they pay today as com- paced with other sectious that have bet- ter facilities for reaching market ? Is it not true that freights from Minne- apolis to Richmond on a certain class of goods is 70 cents while from Richmond to Salisbury, one third only of the distance, the freight is $1.20?

It would greatly enlarge the population and resources of Salisbury, thereby creating a greater demand for our farm products to feed them. It will cause many new and varied manufacturing es- tablishments to be erected, and during the building of the road, many hundreds of our laborers can get employment at remunerative wages, and hundreds of thousands of dollars will, in this way alone, be distributed amongst our labor- ing class of people, and thereby benefit the entire community. Then again, If we vote the $100,000, not one cent’s worth of bonds will issued un- tilthe roadis finished to Salisbury, and the cars running to that place. After this, $50,000, or one-half of the bonds, will be issued, and when the road is finished to the Davie line, the other half will be issued, none of the interest on said bonds is to be collected until after ten years. The people of this generation will never fee] the burden, nor will the generations to come ever feel it, and even if they did, the enhancement of the value of their property will more than compensate them for it, so that, view itas you may, there is every reason why we should vote this aid to the proposed road.

One person told us that T. F did speak, and to some purpose, too. Both of these gentlemen will be remem- bered by the Franklin people for the manly and patriotic efforts they are mak- ing in behalf of a measure which we re- gard as of paramount importance to the future prosperity of this whole region of country. We feel well assured that a large majority of the votes of Franklin, will be cast in favor of subscribing 3100,- QUO to the proposed Railroad. The writer has not been about much of late, but, the only man he has heard say he was opposed to the new Railroad, was a citizen of Locke township, and from what hesaid, we are sure te had been misled by some one in said township who is deeply interested in defeating this en- terprise. In short, some one who is probably a stockholder in the R & D.R. R. The voter did not stop to consider that his adviser was a stockholder in the latter road, and that it was to his inter- est to oppose and defeat competing lines of Railroad, and that such a cuurse meant to him, exorbitant freights and large dividends, etc. It is reaily surprising that people will suficr themselves to be so misled by these interested parties, as to yote against their own interests.

K, BRUNER EDITOR, RALEIGH, N. C. South, as reported tothe United States charge of the Charlotte Assay office, the operations and output of the SOUTH CAROLINA MINES will next be reviewed. Mr. Waring says: “The mining industry in this State is con- fined toa few places, and is under con- ditions which change but little from year to year. These conditions favor steady work and a measurably uniform produc- tion.” He then adverts to speculative mining which he says has found but little scope in the State. This may be consid- ered as greatly favoring legitimate and purcly basiness in our sister State, while the practice of “speculation” and other greater frauds in North Carolina have done more to cripple the industry than most any other single cause. The aurif- erous deposits of S. C. are but poorly suited to the demands of questionable transactions because the formations are for the most part of large extent, and of low grade, so that when favorable con- ditions are met with operations are cal- cuable for with reasonable accuracy. No new mines were opened during the year, and three were discontinued. There was considerable exploitation done in parts of the State which may yet result in some profitable development. The suspension of these mines must account for the falling off of the production of the State. The following is official for the year: Counties: Value in dollars: Lancaster and Chesterfield 40,000 Spartanburg, Union and York 3,000 Miscellaneous 1,000 Total 44,000 The information of the writer does not justify the prediction that a more flatter- ing result may be expected in the near future. There are several causes which furbid too sanguine expectations on this score and not the least is litigation. How- ever, the situation in the State in 1887 may be much more hopeful than present indications would indicate; because the recent impulse given mining in the south may also improve the situation in the ‘* Palmetto State.” GEORGIA MINES. Mining in Georgia has held its own under difficulties that might have been fatal in North Carolina. New properties have been developed which have kept the production up to normal, while a few properties have been abandoned because unprofitable. From very necessity the Georgia miner is obliged to practice rigid economy and reduce mining, milling and amalgamation by the minimum, in order to avcomplish anything at all with the material worked. Whenitis known that much of the ore treated is worth as little as one dollar to the ton, the dificulties of the situation will easily suggest them- They are fortunate in the topo- graphical features of the country which enable them to use automatic machinery to the best advantage. selves.

Work is being done in both wings of this/level, and also in a winze _which is being sunk from the upper level. This winze has reached a depth of nearly 35 feet and will be sunk to the second level. The ore body is a mass of unusual 'size. The shaft has gone down in ore all | the way, and they are working in ore in | the lower level.

The ore is largely free milling of low grade, and carries but a small percentage of sulphu- rets, which will be concentrated and ship- ped for treatment. The outlook for the Uwharrfe is cer- tainly flattering and when the mill starts and the problem of working a low grade ore to profit is solved, we expect to see mining in the Sate take a new start. me Chapel Hill, N. C., Dee. 8, 1886. TY. K. Bruner, Esq. Mining Ieditor, Carolina Watchman. Dear Sir:—Trusting to your well known interest in mining matters I beg leave to ask for some iniurmation through the coluimns of your paper. Ata recent meet- ing of the Elisha Mitchell Society here there was discussed the influence of min- eral deposits upon vegetation. It is well known that in many parts of the world such deposits do influence vegetation. For instance at Aix Ja Chapelle (the German Aachen) in Belgium the zine de- posits are characterized by the presence of the Calamine Violet (Viola calaminaria var lutra). In many of the lead districts of this country occurs the ‘Lead Cab- bage,”’ with roots 40 to 50 feet in length. At Maidaupeck in Servia the mineral de- birch trees, which elsewhere occur but seldom in the country. On the river Kdder in Hesse it has been observed that a high growth of thistles marks the pres- ence of gold bodies. Near Hohenelbe in Bohemia the red poppy marks the pres- ence of copper bodies. Many other in- stances might be quoted of this singular connection between mineral Geposits and vegetation, but these will sutlice for the present. las anything of the kind been observed in this State? IT am unable to answer this question, although I have heard that in some of the eastern coun- ties the presence of murl within a few feet of the surface is indicated by the vegetation, lf you have any information on this subject, or ifany of those to wWhoin your paper goes have any, I should be very glad to hear about it. It may not be without interest to some of your readers to know that agricola, mathesins, Lohneiss Rossler and others writing in the 16,17 and 18th centuries yheld strongly to the opinion that the { . . . “quality and kinds of grass, herbs, aud j;trees indicated the presence of lodes. |‘Chus a sparse, yellow vegetation, of un- jhealthy appearance, the trees spindling land forked, was looked upon us sure ;signs of lodes.

The plan for a “univernal commer- cial language” originated about five years ago by Herr Schleyer, of Switz- erland, seems to be meeting with great- er favor than has been accorded other projects of the kind. Jt is reported that Volapuk is already spoken with facility by thousand of Europeans ; knowledge of it is being disseminated by more than firty societies scattered over England, Germany, Austria, Swe- den, Holland, Asia Minor, and other countries; Volapuk grammars for the use of Hottentuts and Chinese, besides all the European nations, are either in the market or in course of preparation; and two reviews, one entirely in Vola- puk and the other with a translation on alternate pages, are regularly pub- lished. The special advantages of the new language is the ease with whieh it can be learned, eight lessons eras enabled a parisian class to correspon readily with students in foreign coun- tries.

The prolonged application of ice removed the sensi- bility for all tastes—sweet, sour, salt and bitter. Cocaine drestroyed—tem- porarily of course—sensibility for bit- ter only. Other substances, such as caffeine and morphia, reduced the power of discriminating between differ- ent degrees of bitter. Dilute sulphu- rie acid had a peculiar effect, causing distilled water and even quinine to taste sweet at the tip of the tongue, although the bitter of the quinine was elsewhere tasted as usual. A LENGTHENING LIST. While the number of chemical ele- ments had not reached seventy a decade ago, Prof. H. C. Bolton has prepared alist naming over forty elementary substances whose discovery has been announced since 1877. No less than nine of the supposed new elements have been detected this year by Crokes.

TENURE OF OFFICE LAWS. The reader is referred to our Wash- ington correspondent for Congressional news, but in addition to the following will interest many of the readers of this paper. IN THE SENATE, DE. 14. The Senate took up the bill repealing the tenure of Office laws. Edmunds opposed the bill. The law had been in existence nearly 2U years. Pres. Johnson (to restrain whom. it was enacted) obeyed it, although he believed it unconstitutional, and all his successors had recognized its validity as a guide or restraint. This bill was brought forward in apparent aid of their friends on the other side, and to relieve the President of difficulties and embarrassments mow attending remov- als and suspensions. It wis an n- vitation to him to make short work of the whole civil service business, and to expel from office, at once, all officers who are within the purview of the Statute. Hoar advocated the passage of the bill. It had been reported from the judiciary committee last session, but on account of the controversy then exist- ing with the President on the sibject loved as the brethren should love each | | employment, who had no confidence of the person responsible for the success of these executive functions. Executive session adjourned. —— If there has ever been in the history of this country a greater violation of the rules of common decency, not to say of good breeding, than the publica- tions in the press about Mrs. Cleveland in the past month, the Chronicle has neither seen nor read of it. It was once a maxim “want of decency is the want of sense.” Mrs. Cleveland can- not walk to her conservatory to pluck a flower, go to church, take a ride, take her husband’s arm—in_ short do any every day thing, without the world hearing of it through the papers. These things are bad enough but might be excused. But there is no palhation or excuse for the recent allusions to Mrs. Cleveand of a natare of which the public has no right to know or to speak. She isa woman—her home and home interests ought to be as sacred and as tree from prying into or talking about as those of any other American woman. The papers criticize Mr. Cleveland be- cause he often rebukes them for the character of the news they publish and their reckless disregard of the private rights of individuals and public officers. ‘There is no private citizen who would submit to have the most delicate subjects of home life paraded in the papers. Why should a public officer be so treat- ed? [tis trae that itis a tax upon greatness for public men to have all their affairs publicly discussed, but it would seem that it is asking too much to expect a man to quietly submit to having his wife’s name bandied about in the papers, especially in delicate family matters. ‘There 1s, just here, great need of reform.—-Ruleigh Chron- rele. Well said, brother Chronicle. and we hope the North Carolina press will make a most obstipate exception to the practice so denounced above. — -— or ee Ali Wool Goods. From the New York Star. ‘he prestige of the “all-wool” has had a deeper signifieation, a wider in- fluence than can ever be generally known or acknowledged. It 1s part of the greater feeling, the finer feeling, the subtle expansion of later times. It requires better, more ea.eful treat- ment than mixed and stiffened fibers, and it produces more harmonious rela- tions between its wearers and the out- side world. It falls softly into folds; it does not rustle or irritate; it acts soothingly upon the nerves and upon sense of thosewith whom it comes 12 con- tact: itdoes not startle the currents in mindoratmosphere. This influence is all the more inportant in these days of in- cessant movement, excitement and vi- bration. It is restful and tranquilizing to soul and body. This growth of the manufacturing interest in wool in this country has been so rapid that the figures can hardly be believed. The first woolen factory was established in asmall village in Massachusetts about the beginning of the present century. Its size and the amount of its product may be estimated from the enterprise of the second, built in Oneida county, N. Y., and whieh turned out the unpre- cedented quantity of twenty-five yards of cloth per day. Now not one mill, but hnndreds, turn out as many thou- sands. In fact, though we do not as yet produce the finest dress materials, our manufacturers furnish two-thirds of all the cloths, Hannels and blankets used in the United States, and_ there are special kinds of ‘American’ cloth and blankets that are largely exported. Nothing finer than our Oregon and California blankets can be found in the world of their kind. oe ee Mercury. There are only four localities where mercury or quicksilver can be found in abundance: These are California, Austria, Almaden, in Spain, and Peru. The mines in the last mentioned place were discovered in a curious manner. Cinnabar, the soft, red rock of which quicksilver forms a part, when ground very fine, makes a beautiful red paint. The indians used this to ornament their bodies on great eceasions. = This caused the country where they lived to be examined, and the cinnabar was found. The Remaus used this hun- who, in their ments were forced upon him against | dreds of yeais ago in decorating their images. It is of great value now, in our times, and we call it vermilion. The other part of the rock, of which we have spoken abore is composed of sulphar. The cinnabar is crushed and exposed to heat, when the quicksilver, | in form of vapor, passes into a vessel | suitable for the purpose, where it is: cooled. Then, being reduced to its | liquid state, it is pure and fit for use. It is then very largely employed in separating metals from the rock to which they cling. The rocks are crush- ed fine, sifted, and washed until as Then it is placed ina bottle with the quicksilver, which seems rock. If the metal to be cleaned is gold, you will see a-yellowish mass of a sort of paste or amalgam: This is heated, and the mercury, or quicksilver, flies away, leaving behind it pure gold. Although mercury is so useful im many ways, it is also a deadly poison, and its vapor so dangerous that, in search of it, many persons have lost their lives. Not many years ago the mines of Austria took fire, and 1,300 work- men were poisoned, many of then dy- ing In consequence; and the water used to quench the flames pumped mto a river near by, caused all the fish in the river to die. Mercury is carried about in sheepskin begs and cast-iron bottles. It is so heavy that an iron stopper is screwed into each bottle. emmy sttipe-quaes Have an Object in View. Young man, have a purpose in your heart. Now what is your purpose in life? Is itthat, under all circumstances, you will do wnat you think right? Or is it to become rich at the expense of principle and right? ‘The first purpose you shall have is to care fur yourself. Young men nowadays dont; and when the body is wrecked, they hobble about through life making everybody about them miserable. Find out what diet best agrees with you and adhere to it.

I had netjeed a Lig heap of drift-wood a short distance up the river, and on the toher side, and from this heap a fallen tree bridged the stream. When I came to inspect this tree I found mo e blood and tufts of hair, it was plain that dog’s body had been carried across to some den in the drift-wood. TI crossed by the log and mounted the heap. It was composed of limbs, and trunks, and dead Jogs which hud beea left there on the low ground in high water. It leoked like a guod place for a panther’s den, and as I carefully moved about I held the gun ready for a shot. My idea was to descend the heap and look for the opening of the den, but I de- sceniled in a manner entirely untooked-for. A limb suddenly gave way under my feet, and I went crashing through the pile, which at that spot contained a hollow as big as an ordinary bedroom, Both barrels of the gun exploded as I fell, and the gun was lost from my grasp. I landed ina heap on the ground, surrounded by br. ken braaches, and enough daylight. came down to ennbie me to sce what sort of pm place I had falien into. It would be no great job to climb out, and I was making a move in that direction when I heard the faint squeals of kittens, and looked down to find a pair of wee little panthers under my feet. Scattered around were bones and rieces of flesh to tell the fate of old Tiger. f was in a panther’s den, and asI realized it my heart jumped into my throat until it seemed as if I could not get my breath, I was thoroughly rattled and ready to run, and for two or three minutes I made frantic efforts to clamber out. As fast as Treached a limb it broke under my weight and let me down again, but I was still trying, when I heard one of those panthers yell out. It wasn't the ery of the previous night, but a snarl of rage, and I knew I was about to be attacked. Now, for what follows I have received the credit of being a very great man, but Iam ready to confess that I never felt myself more of a coward. I was at bay, and cowards will fight when driven to the wall. I just beut over those cubs, drew my revolver, and in about a minutes I caught sight of a panther’s head asshe work- ed her way in through the drilt. I took quick aim and Ict her have it, and she did- n’t kick a dozen times. I knew the other one was around somewhere, and I didn’t have three minutes to wait. He came for me by a differeut route, and he was almost upon me before | fired the shot that finished him. The kittens were about two weeks old, | and @ter the old cnes had been finished I knocked the little oncs ia the head, When T returned to Shewao, Learried the paws to prove that T had destroyed four panthers, and, as I told you, I got the credit of heing a lion-hearted) Nimrod, IL deserved not | one woid of praise.

The over- powering legic of a constantly increasing surplus which under the existing laws may be $600,000,000 before the $250,000,000 of 44s become due in 1891, forces upon reluc- tant Congressmen practical consideration of the very troublesome question, doubtful. A change of only seven votes is necessary. More than that number of the thirty two Democrats now living who fol- lowed Randall will refuse to accept the same leadership now. Nor can the Repub- lican leaders hold their men on line to pre- vent what amounts to consideration of any tariff measure. The time has gone by for that. The Morrison bill then will come before the House. It is not the one he originally framed last winter. Ilis committee altered it in divers particulars and added to it the bill of Mr. Hewitt simplifying the laws re- lating to the collection of the revenue. It puts on the free list timbers and wood in various forms, salt, all fish except ancho- vies and sardines preserved in oil, raw wools, woolen rags, etc, flax, tow, hemp and sub- stitutes therefor, hemp seed, jute butts, jute sunn and sisal grass and other vegeta- table substances not specially enumerated or provided for.

With this number of the WatcHMAN we send a hearty Christmas greeting to its readers. It is the great festival of the enlighted world that we celebrate. Millieas upon millions of people all ever the earth look forward to this season as owe of joy and gladness, and for it and observe it as they = no other day in the year. It was ushered wpon the world in the land of Judea, and the good tidings of a Sevieer born was first announced “to rds abriing in the field, keep- ing woteh over their sheep by night. The angel of the Lord said unto them, Fear not: for behold I bring you good sdings of great joy, which shall be to all or unto yoa is born this day im City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host prtsing God, and saying, Glory to (rod in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” A day thus signatized by the “heavenly host” as one of “great joy “to all people” comes to us with the possible appeals for its obser- vance; and the enlightened world and her teeming millions have responed with joyful acclamations and praise through nearly two thousand years. And as it has been in the past, so shall it be in the future. [tis the privilege of the living to manifest their joy and itude at each return of this great fre. Those who now celebrate it shall soon pass the portals of time, but they will leave behind growing numbers to join with the heavenly hosts in cele- rating the advent of “Christ the Lord,” and this shal! go on to the end of time. A moment’s reflection on the sacred character of this day must suggest to the thoughtful that ib is not a time for revelry,—for drunkenness—or for any kind of wicked dissipation. Joy and titude need no aid from causes like these. In this particular case they spring with greatest force from clearest perceptions of the truth and best emo- tions of the heart. These are not to be found in the intoxicating bowl, but jn the sober contemplation of the great subject which makes Christmas the distinguishing holiday of all nations acknowledging the kingship of “Christ the Lord.” May the patrons of this paper live to gee many returns of this day, and tind in them all the purest joys it is possible to experience. ——~~~—-—+_____— City Dailies. A friend who has access to the city dailies sends us a long list of the head- ings to the articles in a single issue of a certain paper. Of course he knew it would be no surprise to any one who takes a New York*daily, or for that matter, a large daily from any city. We have looked over the list more for the purpose of discovering the purpose of the compiler than for any interest they possess. Hvider:tly our friend was horrified at the prevalence of crime in the land. Outof 30 or 40 captions there were only two or three which in- dicated subjects really tit to be read. All the rest invited the reader to the contemplation of crime and sin in some of their varjous forms. And such are the dailies from one year’s end to the other. They are pouring out continu- ally a vast fHuod of pernicious reading, familiarizing the public, old and young, with crime, vulgarity and sin. That the effect is pernicious no one can doubt. Nor is there any hope of im- provement. It makes the newspaper popular, increases its circulation, and and puts money into the pocket of the publisher. Blessed, indeed, are they who are born and reared beyond the reach of such baneful influences. Their §gnorance is a bliss more precious than gold. Death of Marshal E. Alexander. The Charlotte Observer of the 19th, devotes considerable space to the death of Mr. Alexander, ex-sheriff of Meck- lenburg. He was highly esteemed by his fellow citizens, whom he served for twelve years, and gave up the office of Sheriff at last of his own choice. He was a Confederate soldier and was tak- en pnsoner at Uettysburg. His death was a public surprise, coming suddenly by water on the brain. 2 epee Shocking Affairs. There is an extraordinary sensation at Raleigh, due to the personages con- eerned in it. A deaf mute, named Bingham, has run off with a deaf mute, Jizzie Turlington. Bingham obtained in Raleigh a license to marry the lady, but it has been ascertained that they left the city in a buggy and were not marred in the county. They were traced so:e miles away travelling to- ther, but beyond a certain point in the direction of Durham, Bingham was plone. He was alone at Greensboro, where he mace careful inquiries of R. R. connections south. He is next reported at Carmanville, N. Y., and insane. The great anxiety now is to find Miss Turlington, for whom dili- ey search is being mae. Bingham ad $700 and a revolver in his posses- sion when he left. He and the lady are exch said to be 23 years of age. - Jt is believed Bingham murdered the oung wonan. undreds of people haye been and are yet searching the woods, fields, streams and wells for her bedy, Bingkam’s whereabouts is also anxiously sought. ‘They have also a new sensation in Richmond. A woman supposing her- self at the point of death, made a con- fession sypanat herself and husband, alleging that her husband killed. and robbed two or three men at their house whileAve lived with her, and tumbled their dead bodies in an old well under a part of the house in which they liv- ed. Officers were seut bo search for the! well at the place designated; but after considerable digging found no trace of it, or of bones, or- any thing else to verify the words of the woman, Yet the city is divided on the subject, some believing the story and others reject~ ing it. Congress. In the House, on Saturday last, a vote of some considerable significance was taken. It was en a motion by Mr. Morrison, to go into “Committe of the whole on the state of the Union, for the purpose of considered revenue bills. The motion was lost by a vote of 1ok tol49. It seems that members regarded it as a test vote as to whether anything could now be doue on the Tariff question, which, by the by, 1s the most important subject to the people of this country that is likely to engage the attention of Congress. It is the ques- tion on which the manufacturers, the farmers and laboring people of the country divide. The manufacturers are protected by the present tanff in charging higher prices for their pro- duets than the same could be obtained at in foreign markets, and by which they are growing rich, while the labor- ing people of the country who pay the high jrices are growing poorer and poorer. This is a simple brief statement of the case, which needs not to be enlarged on. It points out a great wrong un- der which the laborers of this country have groaned for many years, known and acknowledged on all hands. Presi- dent Cleveland made a distinct recog: nition of it in his late message to Con- yress, and urged a xevision of the tariff in order to reduce the amount of rev- enue now overflowing the national treasury, which he said should be left in the hands of the people. And yet, while the toiling people of the country look out on their impoverished lands, the cream of which has gone to enrich protected manufacturers, the Congress of the United States cooly refuse to consider the subject of reducing the ex- cessive tax rates, and practically favor the rich at the expense and oppression of the poor. But perhaps the reader may desire to know how the members ot Congress yoted on this most reasonable proposi- tion. We subjoin the vote: YEAS—119.

We copy from the News and Observ- er of Tuesday, the following additional news on the Tariff question in Congress: MORRISON'S SECOND FAILURE, Again Mr. Morrison has endeavored to secure consideration of bis measure for the reduction of taxation and has avain failed, The Mouse of Representatives has refused even to talk about reducing taxes. Not- withstanding the demand of the people, notwithstanding the reiterated behests of the democratic party, notwithstanding the earnest recommendations of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury, the House bas said it would not even think a- bout cutting down taxation and lightening the people’s burdens. The question then is as to what further will be done, Nothing probably at this session, but it is more than probable that an extra session of the new Con gress will be called to meet March Ist for the purpose of taking up the matter again and meeting, if possible, the wishes of the people. The President was in earnest in his recommendation, and with the country behind him he is likely to urge a matter wuich is of such vital importance to the in- terests of all. It is noteworthy that the majority by which defeat has been accomplished has grown less constantly. The numberof dem- ocrats voting against reduction Saturday was twenty-six, whereas the last time it was thirty-five, the time before the last forty- eight. It is by no means impossible that the next House, notwithstanding its some- What reduced democratic majority, will take up the measure and pass it, At any rute in the interest of the whole people we will continue to hope for this consumation. The popular demand for a lopping off of the excessive revenues now being collected will prevail in the end, democratic tariff plunderers to the countrary notwithstand- ing. Reduction of taxation to the point of the actual needs only of the government will triumph finally. It is a cause too near all the people, too closely bound up with the masses to fuil success for any great length of time. The House has passed a bill raising the annual appropriation for the m- litia from $200,000. It is believed it will pass the Senate. : The members of the House who use tobacco seem to be a dirty set of fel- tows, and have made filth enough abont their seats to endanger their own health. Congressmen that something should be done at this session towards reducin the tax on the people, We ean tel them they had us reduce it speedily, before forbearance ceases to be a virtue. The Speakership of the Next House. We are gratified to clip fromthe Raleigh News-Observer of the 19th, the following very handsome notice of Rowan’s representative in the House of the next General Assembly, and his fitness for the speakership. It says: “Mr. Overman is a young man of pecu- liar ability, and special fitness for the office of speaker. As a leader of the demo- cratic forees on the floor of the last House he distinguished himself, and made evi- dent toall who watched his course the fact that he is destincd to rise rapidly to a high place in public life. Heis quiek of apprehension, prompt to execute, and eloquent in his advocacy of measures cal- culated to advance the general weal. No mistake certainly will be made should the proud mantle of the speakership be thrown upon the shoulders of either himself or Col. Holt.” SS a The Freedman’s Bank Depositors in Luck. Washington, Dec. 18.—Comptroller of the Currency Trenholm was before the House committee on banking and cur- rency this morning and talked about hig report as commissioner of the freedman’s Savings and Trust Company. Mr. Tren- holm believes that the government should reimburse the depositors in this institu- tion. The commiitee requested Mr. Tren- holm to draft a bill embodying his views on the subject and report’ it at the first mecting of the committee in January. Congress will probably pass a_ bill to reimburse the negroes who lost money by the fraudulent management of the freemau’s saving bank. Republican officers of the Institution mismanaged and robbed it. If the Bank had been made up exclusively of deposits from white people would Congress come forward and make up the loss to them? eee a eee A negro national convention is to be held at Washington, D. C., sometime in the Spring. for the purpose of organ- izing the negro strength in the country to be used for their race benefit. The Convention will be composed of repre- sentative men from the several States of the Union. A Central Exccutive Committee will hold the reins cf the organization, and issue counsel and in- structions from time to time how the colored vote should he cast. One of the effects will probably be to solidify the white vote. eer ee * Last year,” says Zary, the Roman Catholic Bishop of New Orleans, “tipsy revellers put crabs in the holy water. burned geese and ducks and exploded fire crackers among the worshippers. The Arch Bishop declares that the midnight mass before Christmas having become an occasion for scandal he finds it necessary to omit it.” But it eaused a division in the Congregation to abro- gate a time-honored practice of the church. eo “And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death,” was impressively exempli- fied in the case of J.

It was to bea day of exposure for crime com- mitted against a friend and his family by the ruin of a beloved daughter. — We do not believe that the Charlotte Observer meant any unfriendliness to Davidson College by its recent notice of Dr. McKinnon’s reported resigia- tion; but that it was the result of too hasty news gathering, which is neces- sarily hurried for a daily paper. on The Trades-Union and the amalga- mated iron workers, have fallen out with the Kuights of Labor and are antagonizing them; and the members of many divisions are resisting an as- sessment made upon them.

From a gentleman of this county we learn that Mr. Posey Chastain, a Revenue officer, of Clay tounty, employed a negro driver at Murphy Jast week to take him home, and when on the road, the negro drew a pistol and demanded his money. Mr. Chastain was unable to draw his Weapon but jumped from his horse, when two other negroes came up, and joined in the attempt of robbery, but Mr. Chastain made his escape through the woods, re- turned to Murphy and had the negro arrested and lodged in jail. It is hoped the cthers will be caught.—J0. py Washington Letter. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Dec. 20, 1886. The last session of the Forty-ninthe Con- gress is shaming its predecessor by indus- try, There has been a good deal less talk and a eood deal more work than usual so fur. The passage of such bills as that to give the Indian lands in severality, that to redeem the trade dollars, that to repeal the Tenure of office act, Postal bills and appro- priations, reflect high credit on Congress as a part of its second weck’s work. The Senate's repeal of the Tenure of Cflice act restores to the President the right of re- moving Federal officers at any time. The House will probably pass the bill with but little discussion and soit will ikely become a law before the fourth of March. The President will then be free from all re- straint of a legal character in removing Re- publican officials. The law was enacted when Congress was overwhelmingty Republican in both branch- es, to handicap the independent course of President Johnson in removing Repub. icans from office. As it was designed specially to fit Mr Johnson's case, few Republicans had any further use for the law after Gen. Grant became President and they made sev- eral attcuipts to, repeal it. On those occa- sions the Democrats did not urge, as was natural for them, that what was law for Johnson must be law for Grant, but con- tended for the repeal of the act on constitu- tional grounds in company with Morton and Sherman, Butler Logan and other Re- pablicans, wen Wilmington Star: The President is getting rich.

In an interview with a news- paper reporter in Washington last week he said there will shortiy be a business panic of widespread and disastrous effect, unless the surplus in the Treasury is re- duced by a reduction of taxation. In his judgment the producers of the country cannot stand the drain made upon then, and he believes that this excess of taxa- tion to pile up a surplus is one of the reasons why employing corporations and individuals cannot meet the demands of their employees for higher wages.—State Chronicle. a ee A handsome and useful present for every boy at the Asylum comes to us all the way from New York—one hundred Polo caps, sent by Messrs.

Tn reference to the use of lime as a fer- tilizer, there is a great diflerence of opin- ion among practical farmers, whose opin- ions are to be received with respect; but this is observed, that whereas formerly Jime was used in great quantities at the present time comparatively litle of it is employed in agriculture. The action is beheved to be upon organic matter al- ready in the soil and to make this more easily obtained by the growing crop. It thus adds nothing to the soil, only enables the crop to get out more of what is there. This is the present belief in reference to it. It may be seen from this that lime may be used on limestone soil as well as on any other, and also that the use of pulverized, unburt limestone can be of no value, as it has no power to act upon or- ganic matter. Also lime long burnt and exposed to the air and rain so that it is largely transformed back to the carbonate can be of little value, for it is only the caustic lime which can act upon organic matter to change it. But there are some conditions of the soil which are benefited ‘by lime. One of these is where the: land is heavy with humic acids. These the al- kaline lime neutralizes, and thus improves the soils; also soils which contain silicate of potash, if limited, the silicate unites with the lime, setting the potash free in the form of a carbonate, one of the most valued plant foods. Such soils are bene- fited by lime. So may alluvial and gran- ‘ite soils be benefited in which there is a natural deficiency of lime.—G. G@. Groff, eo NOTICE TO DRUGGISTS AND STORE : KEEPERS.

While it. was raining in the morning the chimney was burned out, but as the roof was supposed to be wet, no danger was apprehended. In the afternoon, howev- er, the roof was discovered to be on fire near the chimney. The house is a high two story building, and without any means of getting to the roof from the in- side. It greatly alarmed Mr. N. R. Wind- sor’s family who occupied the building, and they moved out all their property. But the fire burnt slowly, and thus afforded an opportunity to save the build- ing, which was accomplished under great- er difficulties than we can undertake to relate here, by cutting a hole through the overhead plastering, and going up ona short ladder, set on tables, boxes, ke. It was a wonderful achievement under the circumstances, and its success is chiefly due to the indomitable energy of Mr. Windsor’s son, Lindsey, a lad of 17 years. Mr. Windsor desires to express his thanks to Mr. L. Simerson, his son, and Mr. Rickard, and other neighbors for their assistance. ee ee The Year 1888 now about to close, has witnessed greater improyements and more progress in and around Salisbury, than was ever known in any one year during her existence as a town. The erection of buildings, both residences and business houses, has been going on steadily all the year. Tis true the scarcity of money and short crops, have to some extent affected the various business interests represented here; but the building boom has not abated in the least. An increased spirit of enterprise is manifest on all sides. Several new streets haye been laid out and opened. The gas limits have been extended. <A contract to supply the town with water has been entered into—and last but not least, is the bid, backed by effects for a competing line of railroad from the great west to the coast of North Carolina. A more efficient municipal Board than the present one, has never managed the af- fairs of the town. Take it all in all, the year just going out has been an unprece- dented one in Salisbury—leaving marks allalong the path she has trodden to serve as guides to the New Year in furthering the interests of the dear old town. —_—~» +o Gambling. Is it true that we have a licensed gamb- ling establishment in a very public place on MainStreet, in this town? A “wheel of fortune,” a sort of lottery or game of chance, doing business openly, and with no fear of the law ! Crowds of negroes and boys fairly block the pavement in front of this establishment at times, and the persons inside are no doubt taking in the dimes at a lively rate. Do these sections of the Code have no relation to the new establishment: Sec. 1045.—If any person shall estab- lish, use or keep any gaming table, (oth- er than a faro bank) by whatever name such table may be called, at which games of chance shall be played, he shall on conviction thereof be fined not less than two hundred dollars, and be imprisoned not Jess than thirty days; and every per- ey, property or thing of value, whether the same be in stake or not, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and any fine imposed on the offender shall not be less arried | two thousand dollars, or imprisoned not than ten dollars. sec. lo4d7.—If any person shall open, set on foot, Garry on, promote, make or j draw, publicly or privately, a lottery, by whatever name, style or title the same finay be denominated or known; every fperson so offending shall be guilty of a (misdemeanor and be fined not exceeding son who shall play thereat, bet any mon- | eke — = = MINING T. K. BRUNER EDITOR, RALEIGH, N. Cc. MINING BRIEFS. Work has been suspended for some time at the Sam Christian placer mine, in Montgomery county. The Southern Mining Co. has been experimenting on & portion of this property with a process for saving flour or float gold, but have so far failed in producing satisfactory results. This speaks rather lamely for the process, since the ground selected for the experi- ment is good and has a record for pro- duction which cannot be guinsaid. The testing, however, may not be as yet, com- pleted, and the writer has no desire to anticipate results. In a general way, processes, as most all experienced miners know, will not do to tie to. CONCORD MINE, This new title is hung to an old mine and one that has not the most favorable recerd. It is the new sobriquet for the Crowell mine, which is located near Bilesville, in Stanly county. | Mr. L. S. White, of Baltimore, is super- intending the work, and it is supposed that he has good reasons for the expen- ditures now being made at that place. New machinery in the shape of Frue Vanners (concentrators) are being put in, and preparations for working the mine are being made. The water from the shaft is being forked and the presump- tion is that the Brandreth shaft will be sunk to a greater depth. There are some exceedingly rich “streaks” of ore in the Crowell—Concord—and the general form- ation indicates the presence of rich de- posits. For the sake of the industry it is hoped that they may uncover some rich and lasting ground. YADKIN CHLORINATION WORKS. The Yadkin Chlorination Works will suspend operations for a short time. This has been rendered necessary on account of the condition of the roads, It is impossible to obtain regular supplies of ore during the wet season, and the management has wisely concluded to suspend regular operations until early spring. REYNOLDS MINE. The Reynolds mine, near Troy, in Montgomery county, is not being worked just now. The suspension was necessary because of the water, which came into the mine faster than the means at com- mand could fork it. The wet season, coupled with the desire of one of the gentlemen interested to dispose of his interest, combine to keep the property in- active. But there is too much pay ore in the Reynolds to allow it to remain long in idleness. Parties are now negotiating for it, and it is not improbable that oper- ations may begin with improved facili- ties at an early day. THE BOILSTON MINE, in Henderson county, continues to devel- ope in a satisfactory manner. Four tunnels have been driven on the lode, from all of which ore is being taken. It is a large low grade mass, with occasional rich pockets, but of sufficient grade and quality to justify a larger plant than is now employed in reducing the ore. They are only using a ten stamp mill and a concentrator for the manipulation of the ore. This machinery is run by steam (25-h p engine) and the inference is plain that the property is dvoing very well, though the manaveinent is reticent when it comes to figures. This is all right so long as the public is not invited to invest in the stock. BIG RUSSELL MINE, exceeding six months, or both, in the | discretion of the court.

Muhogony is being rapidly introduc- ed into every part of India where it promises to thrive. The seeds sown have germinated remarkably well, a single pound planted in green-houses in the southern districts having yield- ed bétween 3,000 and 4,000 plants. It is thought to be quite probable that the world may some day look to India instead of to Ameriea for its mahogony as well as for its quinine. The eastern product of the latter has already be- come so extensive and of such superror quality that the chinchona bark ex- orts of the United States of Colum- ii are said to have diminished fifty per cent within five years. THE LEFT-HANDED. A new work by Dr. Louis Jobert, states that no purely left-handed race has ever been discovered, although seventy per cent of the inhabitants of of the Pendjab use the left hand by preference, as do also the larger part of the Hottentots and Bushmen of South Africa. Ina study of criminals, Dr. Marro has found that from fourteen to twenty-two per cent of convicts were left handed, the highest ratio among people of all classes being only nine in the hundred. Dyspepsia palpitation of the heart and nervousness are among the disor- ders attributed to the use of strong tea in excess, but the most remarkable effect seems to have been observed in the czse of a young girl reported by an English medical autority to have had attacks exactly resembling delirium tremens as a result of a habit of chew- ing tea-leaves. France is credited with having 2000 medicines in its Pharmacopoeia; Spain and Belgium, 1500; Russia, 1080; Greece and Switzerland, 1040; United States, 1010; Great Britain, 815; Swe- den, 746; Denmark, 720; Holland, 665; Germany, 606; Austria, 560; Hungary and Romania, 540; and Norway, 530. A comunication to the French Acad- emy of Sciences, by Mons. C. V. Zen- ger, has called attention to the simul- taneous occurrence of brilhant auroras aud meteoric showers, suggesting a probable connection. THE UNEXPLAINED IN GEOLOGY. While reaching so deeply into the origin of things, reflects Dana, geology leaves wholly unexplained the creation of matter, pervades the whole history like a prophesy, becoming more and more clearly pronounced with the pro- gressing ages, and having its consum- mation and fulfillment in Man. — It gives no cause for the arrangement of the continents together in one hemis- phere, and mainly in the same temperate zone, or their situation about the nar- row Atlantic, with the barrier-moun- tains in the remote west of America and in the remote east of Kurope and Asia, thus gathering the civilized world into one vastarena; it does not account for the oceans having in extent and depth, that exact relation to the land which, under all the changes, allowed of submergence and emergence through small oscillations of the crust, and ary and industrial substanees, and, finally, a large number of the diseases to which men and domestic animals are subject. The germs of these diseases, which are only the spores or seeds of these microbes, float in the air we breathe and in the water we drink, and thus penetrate to our bodies’ interior. There is not a single day, nor a single instant, in which we cannot be said to be in contact with microbes, which are, a fact, the invisible agent of hfe and eath. FIRE PROOF RUBBER. A new compound of caoutchouc, for which the name of “ Woodite” is sug- ested, has been produced by Mrs. A. . Wood, an English lady. The sub- stance possesses the elasticity of India- rubber, undergoes no change by expos- ure, and is claimed to be absolutely uninflamable. It is proposed to use it for covering the unarmored parts of war-ships and torpedo boats. A French horticulturist, Mons. Nob- ble, has found that the seeds of the finest varieties of grapes germinate more quickly than those of the com- mon sorts, and that seeds fresh from the fruit germinate better than those which have been dried. Esther Rockwell's Romance. Mrs. Esther Niles Rockwell, widow of Harry Rockwell, died at Haddam Neck, Conn., a few days ago. A most romantic event in her life gave her something more than mere local repute. She was married in 1817 to Harry Rockwell, who lived further up the Connecticut river, and who was a man of somewhat roving disposition, with a strong liking for sea. ‘Iwo years after marriage Rockwell accepted an offer for winter employment in Savannah, but when he returned in the spring came only to New York. There he was tempted to ship on a whaler, and did so without seeing his wife. He was afterward captured while on an English vessel by a Spanish ship and spent two or three years in a Spanish prison. Then without returning home, he enlisted in the United States navy, and for some years after was on a mer- chant ship. He sailed around the world several times. Mrs. Rockwell, not having heard anything from him for seven or eight years, believed he was dead, and in 1825 she married George Evans, who died in 1831. Rock- well in that year wasin New York, and intended to return home, but hearing that his wife had married again think- ing him dead, he at once shipped for a long voyage. By Mr. Mvans the wife had three children, two of whom are now living. One of these, Zelinda, when a little girl, in 1835, told her mother that she had a queer dream, and that she saw her other papa as Rockwell was called coming home in sailor clothes anda colored vest. A week later, on the afternoon of July 4, and during a heavy thunder storm, Rocdwell knocked at the door of his wife's house and asked for shelter. He was invited to take dinner, though no one recognized him. The little girl, however, spoke of her dream at once when she saw him, saying that the man was dressed just as her other papa had been. Then the wife said, greatly agi- hence permitted the spreading out of | sandstones and shales by the waves and | enrrents, the building up of limestones | through animal life, and the aceumu-! lation of coal-beds through the growth of plants,—and all in numberless alter- nations; nor for the various adaptations of the system of plants and animals to the want of the fee species in that system. Through the whole history of the globe there was a shaping, provis- ioning, and exalting of the earth with reference to a being of mind, to be sus- tained, educated, exalted. ‘This is the spiritual element in geological history, for which attraction, water and_ fire have no explanation. THEORY OF SUN SPOTS. By means OF a sensitive thermopile and a perforated dise of cardboard, Prof. Sporer, 1 German physicist, has proven that extra-luminons patches on the solar dise ave more intensely heated than the rest, and that the dark spots are cooler than the average surface. The hottest regions must develop as- cending gas-currents, to which descents of cooler gas-masses must necessarily correspond. ‘These descending gases must generate the dark spots, and the ascending produce the prominences which are observed to shoot up to enormous heights. This theory 1s con- firmed by the fact that sunspots al- ways form on extra-bright parts of the sun. Recent observations suggest that perfumes and the odors of flowers oper- ate powerfully in preventing lung dis- eases. MICROBES. The part played by microbes in na- ture, as Mons. HK. L. Trouessart says, is an important one. We find them everywhere. — livery species of plant has its special parasites. the vine, for example, being attacked by more than a hundred different kinds. © These mi- croseopic fungi have their use in the general economy of Nature. They are nourished at the expense of all decaying vegetable and animal matter, whose tated: “You remind me of a man who was once my husband.” “Don't you know me, Esther?’ was his answer. Five days after, they were were married, and lived happily together for forty-six years, when Rockwell died. Three children were born to them, one of whom, Edward Rockwell lives now in the old homestead. > 9 oe They Still Howl. Memphis Appeal. Massachusetts is still Republican. The reason whv is very plain, Over 1,500 persons in that State have been arrested for illegal yeting in the late elections. _ In New Jersey a Republican ysecured his election to the Legislature by purchasing 400 votes, the Federal authorities having secured the confess- ions of that number of persons that they had sold their votes. And yet they will howl about Mississippi and Louisiana. A QUESTION ABOUT — Browns rou bitters ANSIWERED. The ion bas Probab been asked thousan: of times. * How can Sea ker niten een reonia thing?"

He says: _We have with great success rectified oil of turpentine ‘(oleum_ terebinthinee rectrifiatum). Dose, one teaspoonful in the morning and the same in the evening. Adults should take one teaspoonful. Afterwards drink a little lukewarm milk to allay the burning of the throat. For children the second dose can be mixed with milk, which will render it easier to take. The result is really marvelous, The inflammation of the abnormal dipb- theritic spots in the throat grows lighter at the edges, and in this way they gradually shrink-until in twenty- four hours they disappear entirely, leaving no sign. To quiet the inflamed tonsils the throat was gargled at first every two hours, and then every three hours, with the following gargle: One ounce chlorate of potash to forty ounces dis- tilled water. ’ p> We pass through this world but once.
