Trieste, Austria.-—Weil, where shall I begin? At the wrong end, [ suppose, and advance like the Hibernian gener- al, hastily, with measured tread to- wards the rear. We have had the greatest display ever witnessed in Trieste. Nine frigates and six torpedo boats took part--one of the latter took rather too much part—it took the larg- er part of an officer's head off. Happily it did not spoil his umiform, which, to my mind, was the most valuable part of the gentleman. In some respects OUR GREAT DAY WAS A FAILURE. The Emperor of Austria was to have been here and wasn't, the Ning of Servia was coming and didn't, and the great Nilulst explosion gotten up in honor of the occasion didn't go off, though some of the promoters did. I, however, enjoyed myself immensely, and saw many lvteresting and instruc- tive sights—three fights, a dog run over by the tramway aud a sailor with the top of his head blown off by the premature explosion of a torpedo —and returned home at night quite exhaus- ted by pleasured excitements and a six- teen mile walk. SEEN FROM THE PIAZZA GRANDE. 1 have been Micawberishly waiting for afew days for something to turn up. At length something has turned —Cavaliero di Dwoar turned up_ his pedal digits to the chrysanthema cucan- thema yesterday, and to-day was car- ried by a host of grief-stricken and inebriatel friends to his shelf in the Campo Santo. [ wish some of my readers could be present ata Selavo- funeral—not necessanly at the head of the procession. It is one of the grand- est spectacles you can imagine. Bar- nums circus would have to take a rear pew when a defunct Triestine is to be tucked away. First comes a string of hired howlers, tearing out handfuls of real wig, wringing their hands ia transports of twenty-live cent grief, while floods of bitter tears course down their dirty and dilapidated cheeks at five soldi per tear. Then comes a troop of outriders dressed like Jockeys, but all in black velvet and crepe masks. These skirmishers are mounted on superb coal black Lombardy horses, covered with black velvet housings which drag in the dust and are sown . 11 over with silver spangles. Then comes the hearse, really a gorgeous affiir, as high as a two-story house and entirely covered with flowers. If bouquets were as costly bere as in Amertea, a man couldn't afford to die more than once in a lifetime—the floral decorations alone would cost a fortune. As it is, you can get a wreath, which it takes twomen to carry, for two florins, and for two more, a cross which makes the pair who lug it along perspire and pro- fune the deceased. THE FUNERAL CAR Is usually drawn by six or eight horses, each mounted by a jockey in mourning. On each corner of the hearse is a life- sized brass angel with a horn in his mouth. At each side of this circus chariot march a corps of undertakers. And very imposing looking personages they are, in their three-cornered hats, black velvet knee-breeches and white silk stockings. Each one carries a sort of black painted fishing pole witha brass saint with a gilt glory arovund his head on the end. Behind the hearse come asquad of volunteer howlers, whose tears are scarcer and demonstra- tions of mingled grief and inebriety comes a procession, varying aceerding to the rank and cash assets of the de funct, from a quarter of a mile tos mile in length. THE CANDLE BEARERS. Each person bears a monstrous can- dle, generally five or six feet long. nie they have their hands full. If it isa windy day—and it is nearly always windy here—the Narrassed mour- ners expend ail their matches and ver- bosity in trying to keep their candles lit. You will see a man break ranks, go into a sheltered corner and waste a whole box of matches trying to light up. By that time he has fallen in the sear, and has to run to catch up with the parade. In order to keep his can- dle from going out during the race he puts lis bat over it, and by the time he regains his place in the hne of march ‘either his hat is on fire and half full of , tallow, or his glim is doused again. Two women will get busily engaged in ‘an exchange of confidences.and thought- _lesaly tilt their candles over their shoul- ders; suddenly flop comes a big dab of jred hot tallow down on somebody's pecs then there is an agonized Him- imel her gott stern element! from the sufferer, and a feminine shriek of sur- prise from the culprit. And so the fun goes on, and it isa greasy, bespattered gang that comes trailing back from the Campo Santo. The tallow chandlers enjoy it, however, and every time a prominent citizen paddles over Jordan there is an appre- clable advance in the price of candles. AN ENRAPTURING SPECTACLE. Taken altogether, it is expensive to die in Trieste, and, from an economi- eal standpoint, inadvisable; it is cheap- er to live, and poverty compels ime to pursue that course. But [ am glad that there are people here who can af- ford to die, and are public spirited enough to do so, There is nothing affords so much unadulterated, home- oe full weight amusement as the planting of a deceased Triestine.

CALLING AT SAN GIVANNI. Yesterday being an off day for fun- erals, I made a pleasant little excursion into the Campagna in company with Signor Verhavac, my landlord, and an Italian family which lives on the same “piano” (Hour) with us. We went out toa little “poderetto,” or farm, which lies on the underskirts (outskirts has attained the dignity of a “marron zlace”) of the suburband Village of San Givanm. It was a dairy farm kept by a fat, jolly Friulian peasant, whose beaming sun-browned bi and broad dialeet were quite refreshing af- tertwo months close confinementin the heart of the stifling city. Here we drank buttermilk or goat’s milk, I don’t re- member which (however, it’s all the same), ate five or six yards of bread, consumed the entire stock of Friulian cheese, and washed it down with some homespun wine which tasted like dirty feet, and induced us tosuspect that the “eontadina’s” daughters had not per- formed their pedal ablutions before trending ont the grapes. The children of the respective fami- les got loose in the gardinetto and played havoe with the cherries, apricots, figs and macaroni sprouts, with the re- sult that our “piane’ tuned up last night to infantile howls.of woe and maternal demands for paregoric and soothing syrup.

Of this number about two thouvand have resulted inthe granting of the de- mands, to a large degree, made by the strikers. In the remaining fifteen hun- dred cases the strikers have met with ignominious defeat. The New York Journal has carefully investigated the matter, and during the past twelve months, that paper summed it up that in all about 1,0C0,000 persons have been on a strike or lock out, and it is estimated that the loss in wages sus- tained by them aggregated about $15,- 000.000.

Logan. a Admitting that taxation should be reduced and there is no dispute as to the fuct, there can scarcely be any question, at least among Democrats, as to the method by which the reduction should be accomplished. What is to be sought is the greatest possib‘e alle- viation of the burdens of the people, and the tax upon imports is the great- est burden that they bear. Either directly or indirectly it increases the cost of everything that the poor mau eats or wears or uses for his amuse- ment. The internal revenue tax bears almost exelusively upon luxuries and its burdens need not be borne if the poor man desire to evade them. If it interfere at all with the course of pro- duction, the interference is of such a character that it does not affect the Welfare of the great body of the peo- ple. The grievances which are enter- tulued against the system are really against some of its details and not ees the tax itself—Shelly New rd. The Murderer Bingham. Morning Star. No tidings of Walter L. Bingham have been received vet. A Raleigh cor- respondent says that every hour he hears the question, “Will Bingham plead insamity if he is captured and tried for the murder of Miss. Turling- ton?” It goes to prove how much the public mid is set against what 1s known as the “insanity dodge.” following correspendeuce in this con- nection will be read with interest. Kev. O.'T. Builey, one of the best known editors in the State and a leading member of the Baptist church, a few days since wrote Dr. Eugene Grissom, Superintendent of the North Carolina Asylum, the following letter : “T see in the secular press the mani- festation of a disposition on the part of certain persons of influence to man- ufacture a public sentiment in favor of Bingham, the murderer of Miss Tur- lington, on a plea o! insanity. This is to be regretted, both for the cause of justice and on account of the recent ex- perience the State has had in the escape of a number of the vilest criminals who ever disgraced the State.. The people of North Carolina are tired of this, and ae watching with special iaterest. the stops tuken by their offcers iv the pres- ent case. Unless our courts are more prompt and certain in the punishment of criminals the people, now to some extent having lost confidence in the execution of the laws, will take mat- ters of this sort into their own hands. nor can I (as one whe holds dear the best interesta of his fellow-men) blame them. I trust that you. our highest authority on questions of jnsanity, will not in any way lend your influence to such a plea on the part of Bingham.” Dr. Grissom, in his reply to this let- ter, SHy¥S: “T fully appreciate and sympathize with your general views abcut crime and the evasion of its penalties by all sorts of subterfuges. While I think we should throw the mantle of charity and protection around those whose reason is really dethroned, we should guard against that false sympathy which embraces the criminal and for- gets the victim.

In speaking of the preservation of dead bodies, Gaillard’s Medical Month- ly says that Edward I., who died in 307, was found not decayed 413 years subsequently. The flesh on the face was a little wasted, but not .putrid. The boby of Danute, who died in 1017 was found fresh in 1766. Those of William the Conqueror and his wife were perfect in 1528. In 1569 three Roman soldiers, in the dress of their country, fully equipped with arms, were dug out of a peat mass near Aberdeen. They were quite fresh and plump after a lapse of about 1,500 years. In 1717 the bodies of Lady Kilsyth and her in- fant were enmibalined. In 1796 they were found as perfect as in the hour they were embalmed. Every feature and limb was full. he infant's feat- ures were as composed us if he had only been asleep for eighty years. His color was as fresh his flesh as plump and full as in the perfect glow of health. The smile of infancy and innocency was on his lips. At a little distance it was difficult to distinguish whether Lady Kilsyth was alive or dead. The ques- tion is, What preservation was used, and how applied? <a + ee Terrible Fate of a Girl. New York, Dec. 830—A_ young Ital- lan girl named Latorre met with a hor- rible death on the elevated railroad this morning. She was upon a station plat- form accompanied by a sister, waiting for atrain. The girls were engaged in lively conversation wien one, turning around, suddenly shpped off the plat- form to the traci in front of the train waich was but fifteen feet away. The engineer did not see her, but heard her scream and reversed his engine instant- ly, but the tracks were slippery with ice and the front wheels and one driv- ing wheel had passed over the body before the train stopped. The girl was crushed into a shapeless mass and wed- ged between the driving wheels. The body could not be recovered without raising theengine. After half an hour’s work, the engine was raised enough to draw out the body. The track in the meantime was blocked with trains for over two miles to the ter minus. a Charlotte Observer: Parties who ar- rived in the city yesterday from Mor- ganton brought news of the killing, at that place, last Saturday, of Sam Pear- son, by deputy Luther Ward and posse. Pearson resisted arrest aud was fired up- on und instantly killed. — Pearson, we are told, about ten years ago committed a murder at Morganton, for which he was tried, convicted and sentenced to a term in the penitentiary.

Out of these 847 duels only nine regult- ed in one of the parties being disabled. In 98 per cent. of the cases the com batants left the field unscathed, though rehubilitated. ee Some idea of the immense resources of this country may be gained from the fact that since 1895 the government has paid in pensions, in round numbers, 535,000,000, and of this enormous ‘sum all except $25,000,000 was paid since the civil war. In 1867 the inter- est on the national debt was $144,000,- QO0, and in those thirty-one years $1,- | 315,000,000 have been paid to the holders of Government bonds. se Whatever a man doos on rented pro-. nerty is labor lost.

The most obstinate and dangerous forms of this disugrecable disease Can be cured by taking Aver's Sarsaparilla, *I have always been inore or Jess troubled with Scrofula, but never seriously until the spring of 1882. At that time I took a severe cold in my head, which, notwith- stunding all efforts to cure grew worse, and finally beeame a chronic Catarrh. It was accompanied with terrible head- aches, deafness, a continual coughing, and with great soreness of the lungs. My throat und stomach were so polluted with the mass of corruption from my head that Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, and Emaciation totally unfitted me for busi- ness. I tried many of the so-called spe- cifies for this disease, but obtained no relief until 1 commenced taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. After using two bottles of this medicine, I noticed an improvement in my conditian. When I bad taken six bottles all traces of Catarrh disappeared, und my health was completely restored. — A. B. Cornell, Fairfield, Iowa. For thoroughly eradicating the poisons of Catarrh from the blood, take Ayer’s Sar eaparilla. It will restore health and vigor to decaying and diseased tissues, when everything else fails. = =——— EET Catarrh Ts usually the result of a neglected “cold in the head,” which causes an inflam- mation of the mucoug membrane of the nose. Unless arrested, this inflammation produces Catarrh which, when chronic, becomes very offensive. It is impossible to be otherwise healthy, and, at the same time, afflicted with Catarrh. When promptly treated, this disease may be Cured by the use of Arer’s Sarsaparilla. TI suffered, for years, from chronic Catarrh. My appetite was very poor, and I felt miserably.

Se ee What will they do About It? Section 21 of Article xiv of the Con- stitation of the State of North Caro- Itna, rewls as follows: “No person who shall hereafter fight @ duel, or assist in the same as a second, or send, or accept, or knowingly carry a cballenge therefor, or agree to go out of the State to fight a duel, shall hold any office in this Stute.” There is a member elect to the Leg- islature from Buncombe county, who has senta chalicnge to fight a duel. The faet is uotoriously ible: and it is in reference to this case that the uestion is asked of the elected to the same House—*What will you do about it?” Every member of the Leg- islature is required to take ap oath that he “will support the Constitution of the U.S. and the Constitution of the State of North Carolina.” Is it possi- ble for a member taking this oath to ignore the fact that there is a member present who is Constitutionally dis- qualified to hold a seat; and if so, upon what ground? There are gool men in this State who consider w member of the Legisla- ture as “holding an office in the State,” and thefefore coming under the prohi- bition of the Constitution in respect to duelling, and are watching to see how this matter may be settled. Will members proceed on the as- sumption that membership of the Leg- islature is not‘an office” in the mean- ing of the Sec. quoted, and there- fore is not subject to the penalty de- nounced ayainst duelling? Or will they say there is no evidence against Mr. Pearson, because he was not indicted by the Grand Jury of lis county? Or will they ignore the whole subject as if it involved no question of fidelity to to the oath each member must take? There is a responsibility in the mat- ter and it should be met openly, and settled to the satisfaction of the eom- mon mind. A Tobacco Manufacturers, it seeems froma letter published in the Raleigh News-Ohserrer, are oppos- ed to the reduction of the tax, or re- peal of the revenue Jaw taxing tobac- co, because such action “would be inimical” to manufacturers; and they are calling a meeting to be held in| Washington for the purpose of preyent- ing the interference apprehended. It is manifest that the interest of manufac- turers and consumers of tobacco are directly opposite, vet we hear of no movement on the part of consumers to promote their interest in the premises. A few hundred manufacturers by the use of money and personal influence will probably fasten upon the millions of consumers a heavy tax, thus grind- ing out of the latter fortunes to be used for their continued oppression. It is the duty of Congressmen to pass just and eqnal laws, operating on every class of citizens alike; but these manu- facturers know by experience that | duty is not always the rule with members | of Congress when it is possible to find a pretext for the neglect of it, and this pretext they hope to present when they get together at Washington. The Homestead Law has more than served its purpose, and it is hoped this Legislature will repeal both it and the expensive, ruinous mortgage law. Past experience has proven, we think, that the old system of credit, in use before and during the | war, is fur preferable to the present! eet: The Legislature should give this subject early attention, and come to the rescue by a radical change. The public mind is ready and anxious for it. ANOTHER SUBJECT concerning which it is not necessary to waste words, is a fur on dogs suffi- ciently heavy to afford protection to sheep culture, and toincrease the schoul fund. Self-evident propositions like these should be taken up and promptly put through. Let not the members of the Legislature go at them with any degree of timidity, for the great body of the people in the State are backing them, and will gladly sustain them in earnest ef- forts on these subjects. — et ae Handsome.

It is noted as a remarkable fact that a deaf mute should be able to evade all the modern means for tracking up a man running away from the law. The Governor's offer of $400 reward—the largest sum the law allows—is to be supplemented by contributions of citizens, and no effort will be spared to bring the offen- der to justice.

Washington, Jan. 3, 1886. The great annual levee at the White House last Saturday passed off pleas- antly to both host and guests. Legis- lators and officials, judiciary and diplo- mats, soldiers and sailors, veterans and civilians, old age and youth, wealth and poverty, fame and obscunty, aristocra- ey and democracy, came, as usual, to pay respect and express good wishes to the Chief Magistrate. Without the Mansion the scene was bleak and slushy and cold, although the weather predictions had done all in their power to make it bright. But within everything was cheerful enough. All the State Apartments were thrown open and were ablaze with gas jects, and blooming with flowers. One thousand trees and pots of plants had been brought from the conserva- tory for decoration. As the President was just recovering from another rheumatic attack which had kept him prisoner for more than a week, it was thought he would not be able to endure the whole orde#] of the three hours of handshaking, but would be compelled to retire from fa- tigue before the reception was over. His condition was the cause of much solicitude on the part of Mrs. Cleve- land aud the Cabinet officers, who want- ed him to remain seated during the in- tervals between the reception of the various bodies. He would not yield to their wishes, however, but stood up to his task bravely until the last, though he was very tired, After the officials had passed through the public was received, and the visi- tors then came in, from actual count, at the rate of 8300 toevery ten minutes. The throng soon became dense inside the Mansion. The Blue Room, in which the receiving party stood, became suf- focatingly warm and the perspiration rolled from the President’s face in streams. The corridors were choked with people, and before the police could induce them to move into the Kast Room, sonie ladies faiuted. This was the first time since 188] when a_ president's wife appeared at a New Year's reception in the White House, and the first in thirty years since a Democratic President’s wife has presided there, 1857 being the last year that President and Mrs. Pierce were at the Executive Mansion. Consequently the. pleasure expressed at having so oung a lady as Mrs. Cleveland there is not a matter of surprise. The mem- ber of the Corps Diplomatique tells a story about another enthusiastic dip- lomat who was so delighted with Mrs. Cleveland, that, after shaking hands with her, he testified his admiration by kissing the inside of his own hand which bad touched hers. The elderly Senator from Vermont, Mr. Mormill, who is, of course, a Re- publican, expressed his approval of Mrs. Cleveland in the following character- istic way. Suid he: “While there is a difference of opinion as to those hold- ing some of the places the President has filled by appointment, the vacancy he had chosen to fill by the selection | of a lady to preside at the White House is acceptable to every one.” Raleigh, Jan. 5.—{Special]—Excite- all! ham, aid Watters, of weaulord, voted for | voted tor! | they did not try to thwart me im that.” “You did not ask the advice and con- lsent of the Setate in that matter,” sn ted alady present. “No, indeed, IT di at” ulated ‘Mr, Cleveland, as if very thankful that the Constitution ‘of the United States did not make it - obligatory.

C. has written'.ah interesting book, of nearly two hundred pages octavo, about Eastern North Carolina, New Bern, and the Presbyterian church 6f New Bern. The book is handsomely printed, well bound in cloth and contains thirteen il- lustrations. Whittet & Sheppersan, of Richmond, Va., are the printers. The price of the book is $1.50, with l5cts for postage, to be obtained from the Author at New Bern, N.C: In this book the author goes to the beginning, and gives an account of the early settlement of eastern North Carolina. But unlike many rather musty and tedious accounts, Mr. Vass’s version isa new one, and is interspersed with spicy anecdotes and incidents that enchain the attention, while conveying instruction. He has described the relation of the church of England to the Colony, and the labors of her ministers. The Quak- ers, Baptists and Methodists, as well as the Presbyterians have their place in this history. ¢ One of most interesting chapters in the book, is the account of the settlement of the Swiss and Palatines, under De Graf- fenreid, and here they came to set- tle there. Most historians give accounts of Svotch and Scotch Irish emigrations, and the reasons for them, but-the origin of the ‘“‘poor Palatines,’’ and the persecu- tions that drove them from their beauti- ful homes on the upper Rhine, first to Switzerland, thence to Holland and Eng- land and thence to America, are not so generally recorded. We all know about the diagonades against the scotch coven- anters about two hundred years ago, and the trials of Scotch Irish in Ulster, and the pocr Hughenots after the Revo- cation ot the Edicts of Nautes, but very few stop to learn about the desolation of the upper Palitinate, when over run by Tilly and Turenne, and their beauti- ful land cursed by the rage of man, under the rule of the popish Palatine of the New- burg family. Twelve thousand Palatines went to England in the summer of 1709, and encamped near London. De Graffen- reid estimated 20,000 Palatines in England at this time interiningled with Swiss and other Germans. Of these De Graffenreid engaged to take 650 to North Carolina for $18,000. They started from Grave- send, mouth of the Thames, in January 1710, but more than half of them died in the stormy voyage of thirteen weeks across the Atlantic. The poor remnant scttled at confluence of the Neuse and Trent in May 1710, and called the place New Bern, in honor of the city of Bern, in Switzerland. But [cannot follow the story, Mr. Vass has given it in detail, as well as the story of aleCalloh, settlement in Duplin county, the Scotch on the Cape Fear, with glances at the settlements in Western Carolina. Mr Vass is a Virginian, but like large hearted Dr. Lacey, ‘While he loves Virginia as his mother, he loves North Carolina as he does his wife.’ Indeed he chose his wife from one of the old New Bern families, sprung froin the com- mingled blood of the Welsh and Pala- tines, and Scotch of that city. Speaking of Dr. Lacey it is proper to menticn that Mr. Vass has given a good sketch of the life of Dr. Lacey, and a picture of him, with spectacles on, as he locked while President of Davidson Col- lege, and some characteristics anecdotes. Also a sketch and picture of Rey. Dan’l Stratton, also a pastor of New Bern church. At last but not least intcrest- ing, a sketch and picture of Rev. Lach- lan Cumming Vass, A. M. the present pastor. The picture is a good one, but does not look quite as natural as the writcr onee suw him during a storm of rain on the steamer Rob Roy, on the blue waters of Loch Katrine. It is rather more like he looked one Sabbath while standing in Westminster Abbey trying to hear a sermon from Canon Farrar, or when he is reading his Sunday School Report before the Synod of North Caro- lina. I would advise those who want to know more of this history to buy one of the two copies, which he has sent me to be sold.

Queen Victorin’s rcign has been marked | by great progress in the health and, longevity of British subjects. Ina recent address to the Society of Arts, Capt. Doug: | lass Galton drew a striking picture of the‘ filthy, over-crowded, immoral, half-starved and diseased state of the people of fifty years ago, and outlined the measures which have been taken for their betterment. Reg- istration of disease, the first step in scien- tific sanitary investigation, was inaugurated in 1837, just eleven days after the Queen’s accession, but health reforms gained slowly until the cholera epidemic of 1848, when liygienic advance really commenced. The result, while, less than it should have been, is asplendid one. In England and Wales deatii-rate from 1828-42 was 25 07 per 1,000; from 1880-84 it is 19.62 per 1,000, and the deaths trom zymotic diseases, which aver- aved 4.52 per 1.000, in 1841-50, were reduc- ed to 2.71 per 1,000 in 1880 84. In the de- cade of 1850-60 the average annual sav- ing of lives in England and Wales from san- itary improvements was 7,789, in 1860 70 it rose to 10,48L: in 1870-80 to 48.443; and in the five years 1880-S4 the aunual saving had reached 102,240 lives. LONGEVITY OF BEETLES. Mr. J. M’Nicl, of Indiana University, men- | tions a lone-horned beetle (Bburta quadri- | geminata) which lived no less than nihetecn | years, and probably more than twenty. in | an ash door sill, Two similar cases of re- markable longevity in beetles are recorded | by Packard. A specimen of Monohammus | confusor, the common pine-borer, lived more | than fitteen vears in a pine bureau; and | three hectles—probably Cerasphorus bultea- | tus—came from an apple-tree table, the first alter a resicence therein of twenty years and the last of twenty-cight years. | LAKE CITIES. The remarkable villages built on piles in prehistoric times were net confined to the lakes of Switzerland. Similar Jake citics ure traced in Italy, Austria, Hun ary, Pom- - erania, France and Savoy, but they are gen- crally smaller, and nearly all belong to the age of polished stone, extending through several periods. In Switzerland over two hundred of the villages are known, forty being in the lake of Neuchatel. Each con- tained about three hundred huts, and some of them must have had a population of twelve or fourteen hundred. Scientific cuesses bave placed the age of some of the luke cities} at no less than seven thousand years, while others are probably not three thousand years old. Lake dwellers have not been unknown in historical times. Herodotus describes a people who lived in a platform city over Lake Prasias in Thrace, and in the present day dwellings of tie world, including New Guinea, Bor- neo, Celebes, and even in Russia. | SIZE OF ORDINAY METEORS. A member of the London Astronomical | Society has pointed out that the common : assumption that a fragment of meteor dust | no larger than a mustard seed may give the | brilliancy of @ first magnitude star, is erro- neons. To give that brightness at a distance of 100 imiles—about that at which meteors are usually scen—would re- quire an electric laup of 10,000 candle pow- er. It is thercfore probable that the small- —? _ — est visible meteors have a surface equal to the incandescent portion of a 100-candle power electric arc, if not much larger.

Work, however, is be- ing conducted in many of those counties, but generally in a quiet way. To Mr. Hugh McRae, M. E., of Burnesville, N. C., the writer is under obligations for part of the information contained in this letter. 2 . YANCY COUNTY. Mining for mica may be regarded as on the increase in this county. At the Baily Mountain mine, on the south fork of Toe River, much work has been done during the past year, The mica bearing vein is about eight feet wide and has been stripped for nearly 300 feet, lateral measure. During the last twelve months operations have been on a paying basis, and the prospect for a continuance is fur above the average ‘‘probability.’ Mr. McRea, alluded to above, is acting there in the dual capacity of Superintendent and owner. This looks like taking ad- vantage of the property. He draws a salary as superintendent and pockets the profits as owner. This is a happy combi- nation which insures careful manage- ment. Mr. McRea is also giving attention to other minerals, including corundum, as- bestos, nickle, chromic iron and pyrope garnet. He has carefully saved his scrap mica which will soon be in demand, since new uses for this material, (heretofore consigned to the waste heap) are being found. ‘Scrap glass,” as the miners call it, is now ground and used for veneering surfaces in ornamental work; for coating plastering in interial decorations and for ornamenting terracotte, brick, and etce- tera. These new uses for waste mica will revolutionize and stimulate the industry, as all the mica found will find sale on the market. Atthe Ray mine, one of the famous producers of Yancy, but little has been done in a systematic way since 1884. It has always been worked under the lease system, and the new work recently inaugu- rated is to be done under this system. The lessees will operate in two shafts only, while there are seven or eight on the property. Mr. Ray, the owner, has on this prop- erty a fine vein of chromic iron which is to be worked. It is claimed that it car- ries from 49 to 51 per cent. of chromic oxide. ‘The vein is about one foot wide and is in a zone of chrysolite aud serpen- tine. In this formation chromic iron, corundum and asbestos may be looked for. When cither is very prominent the others disappear proportionately. The Smith or Hyatt mine has a record for producing large quantities of mica, and is about to be reopened by Gere, Greffory & Co., of New_York. New ma- chinery will be introduced and the pros- pects are favorable for a continued profit- ;able output. In addition to the work alluded to above. petty mining for mica will be con- ducted as actively as heretofore. The mica produced in fhis way aggregates large results in the course of a year. Were it abandoned the production would fall far short of former annual figures. | When the larger mines are idle the min- ers spend their time in finding and work- ing ‘‘pockets.”’ MACON AND JACESON COUNTIES. | These counties are sources for mica and have an enviable record.

The famous Cranberry iron mines jemploy a large force of men. They have jorders ahead aud are doing business on a large scale. As might be expected, much exploitation has been done in the vicin- ity. Already several companies have becn organized to deyelope property near, and others still are making examinations with the view of organizing for practical work. In the near future may be ex- pected increased operations in iron min- ing in the Cranberry district. Mitchell county is probably inost famed for the superior quality of the mica pro- dueed. The interest is by no means being neglected. Mr. J. E. Brown has recently acquired sereral large tracts of mineral lands, where explorations for mica are being conducted. This, of course, is intended for practical opera- tions in the near future. erate several mica mines and explore for others. . The Deake mine, in the ** Plum tree district,” on the north fork of Toe river, will soon be reopened with a view of permanent work. This is one noted properties in Mitchell. There are other large and valuable properties in the conuty which will become active as the interest awakens.

While speaking of mica 1t amay be re- marked that it excited, almost beyond constraint, the cupidity of miners.

Should one of them find your purse in the road, no matter how well filled, he would return it untouched, yet he cannot resist taking a few founds of mica on leaviug a shaft. Ut Iaterest to Young Men. CHAPEL HILL, N. C. Mining Editor Carolina Watchman, Salisbury, N. C, Dear Sir:—The new departure at the University as regards mineralogy, mining and metallurgy is certainly worthy of a more extended notice than has been given it. Ever since the infusion of new ideas and better scientific training occa- sioned by the election of Dr. Venable to the chair of Gen’! and Industrial Chemis- try in 1880, it has been more and more of a necessity to provide better instruction in related branches of science. The University authorities have for a long time desired to provide special instruc- tion in practical mineralogy, agricultural chemistry and the scientie principles of mining and of ore deposits. The wisdom of the last Legislature in anaking the necessary appropriation put it at last within their power todo so. A recent visit to the Laboratories and collection of minerals, ores and metallurgical products is my excuse for offering through your paper some information about a matter of considerable importance to our citizens. I communicate this all the more willingly to the CAROLINA WATCHMAN since it is the only paper in the State that publishes regularly news about mines and minerals. The new Laboratory was built and equiy- ped during the summer and fall, especial regard being paid to the comfort of the students as the high pitch of the rooms, the abundance of light and the fine ven- tilation bear witness. Gas and water are laid on with judicious foresight, and there is plenty of room for advanced students as well as for those who are just beginning Lab’ry work. The Lab’ry wis built by J. F. Conrad of Durham under the designs of Dr. Venable. Thestudents in qualitative chemical analysis have in- struction for a year, both in blow-piping and wet work, and then are advanced to the qualitative room, where they deter- mine quantitatively the same substances determined qualitatively the year before. In practical mineralogy instruction is given through the whole year, a knowl- edge of chemistry being required before- hand. Most careful instruction is given inthe use of the blow-pipe, and the students work over the whole course on minerals and metallurgical products. The fine collection of minerals, number- ing about 2,500, and the equally fine working collection of ores and furnace products enable them to see, handle and work upon a large variety of objects, and so to become experienced in their qual- ities and uses. On his return from Europe in the sum- mer Dr. Phillips brought with him a beautiful collection of ores, furnace pro- ducts and fuels. To these he has added his own private collection, and has now one of the best working cabinets to be found anywhere. Wh. tis particularly wor- thy of mention is a very unique and com- plete collection of all the rocks met with as wall-rocks in mining. These are charac- teristic specimens selected with great care from the famous mines of Europe, and of this country. At the University the course in chemistry is made to bear di- j rectly upon some department of human jindustry. It is not proposed to make | ‘thorough chemists, or metallurgists, or }miners. This is not the aim of a Uni- | versity training. Itis rather to observe closely, and think correctly that should | be the purpose of a student; not to sup- | pose himself at the limit of knowledge, | but at the threshold of it. Dr. Venable here has control over the general, and {industrial chemistry, so far as it relates | to subjects others than mineralogy, min- jing and metallurgy.

Charlotte Observer, The death of Logan leaves the Senate to- , day with but three Union soldiers of any note, aud two of these, General Sewell of New Jersey, and General Harrison, of Indi- | ‘ana, are likely to be retired with the close of the scssion, while nearly every Southern ; Senator served in the Confederate army. Referring to this fact the Philadelphia Times says: “In the south the leaders in the field are the leaders in the forum; the leaders in war are the leadere in peace. In leaders in war have faded away as the leaders in politics becowe mas- (ters; aud it is confessed that the legders of both sides in the flame of hattle have done most to efface sectional estrangement and restore the Union te a common brotherhood. The great. work of the warriors of both the blue and gray has been finished by the complete restoration of the north and south to political and business tranquility; but the most enlightened and pat- riotic statesmanship of the last score of years has come chiefly from the soldier statesman of the land. They have been generous in peace as they were heroic in war, and they have been scrupulous in their devotion to the liberty of law.” TS ee LIST OF LETTERS.

The marriage was to have taken plucc sev- eral days ago, and all the pretiminaries had been arranged, when Miss Taylor did what has been thought to be womans especial privlicre. changed her mind, The Eng- lishman felt himself badly treated and swore he would not submit to the whim of a willful girl. He therefore applied to Mawistrates Albey and Frost, who issued a warrant for the young lady, requiring her show cause why she should not be compell- ed to keep her vows. Miss Taylor appearcd and insisted that she no lonyer loved Rudd and did not want to marry him, bat the scrupulous magistrates declared tha Miss Taylor must either marry Radd oro to jail. Thoroughly frightened by this extra- ordinary decision, the girl finally consented to the union, and Magistrate Frost then and there performed the marriaze ceremo- ny. It is said that the hizh-handed pro- ceeding on the part of the Carroll magis- trates has created intense excitement in the vicinity where the parties reside. | ann ae Soma “Mammoth” Bones A farmer near Cleveland, O., while digging a ditch exhumed some monster bones.

He had been found the night before wandering about the streets ragged, dirty and penniless. His form- er cheery smile had vanished and a pinched hungry look had taken its place. He had begged, he said, most piteously from door to door for food and shelter, but although he was known to almost every man, woman and child in town, there was none who would as much as give him a crust. In despair, he appealed to a passing police and asked to be locked up as a common vagrant.—N. Y.

Indeed the combina- | tion seems to have been broken clean up, and so far the republicans have got nothing but Mr. Bulla. Two of the democratic nominees were elected, the republicans having a parently agreed to vote for Mr. Burkhead, possibly at the solicitation of their assistants. Mr. Julian, however, beat the nominee of the Republicans outright. But it was when the assistant doorkeeper was to be elected that the cat came out of the bag. John Witliamson, the colored representative from Franklin, gave the Honse a piece of his mind and declared that his “self-respect’” would not per- mit him to be playing fast and loose— and he declined to co-operate further with the “assistants” who did not stick up to their bargains.

I, Oh, brave Aecteeon ! he'was glad As boundiog heart could make him; IIe could not feel the shadows sac, As he saw day forsake him; For when upelimbed night’s crescent queen Her path of shining duty, He filled his spirit with her sheen Until it swooned with beauty. “Oh, lavliness of night [” ke cried, “J fyint beneath the beaming And chasteness of thy holy pride, Yet am in love still dreaming Of charms thy silver robes enfold Whose lreaven of snow should chill me, But with my soul would fain behold, Even though thy wrath should kiil me.” i. A zephyr wild who chanced to hear The youth with Cynthia pleading, A secret whispered in his ear, To worse than death misleading: With bow and spear and hounds next day, He roamed the vale and mountain, And through dense forests pierced a way Yo Dian’s grove and fountain. Swect laughter thrills the fragrant wood Where gloats the hunter hidden, On beauty in the wanton flood To mortal eyes forbidden. Entrancement with the heart appals, Like Sin in heaven's bowers, | O'erwhelms his scnacs and he falls : Unconscious on the flowers. In. Why ever did his senses wade Back from their reptured drowning? Behold on sylvan throne arrayed, The eoddess flushed and frowning. A thousand virgins she commands, With hearts for ven ance burning; Keen weapons glitter in their hands, And all azainst him turning. As bridegroom smiling mects his bride, The youth his arms extending, Grects death. Said Dian, “Evil pride Calls down ita bitter ending: To Hades thon shalt never brag The death my nympis would shower thee, Turn, prying wretch, into a stay— Let thy own dogs devour thee! TY. “Have merey, goddess! cries the youth, His goul with horror riven. “Alas! thy heart is dead to ruth— Theo Tappeal to Teaven. Let Jove but sav what fate ardains, And I will ne’er dispute it: His blood is flowing in my veins; Let not my hounds pollute it!” “Then flee.’ cries Jove, “for seven years, Lest dous of lust o’ertake thee, Until thy agony and teary More pure than Dian make thee? Away, ixe deer Actzeon bounds, And on the winds sweep atter The cry of his pursuing hounds And Dian’s cruel laughter. Vi.

Bows in amaze and awe to see Such wondrous glory waking Anew born San—a deity, From flesh and frailty breaking;— Yet foiled, defeated, anecred, shained, She eails aloud for slanuhte:: “Great Jove; behold my shrine profuned ! Avenge Latona’s daughter)” “Ah, no! cries Jove, *Acteon'’s race Of anguish is completed: Thou canst not cheat bim of the grace Which Fate to him hath meted.

There seems to have been a clash be- tween the independents and republicans yesterday. he republicans were evi- dently disappointed in not receiving the support of the independents in the elec- tion of doorkeeper. © When nomina- tions for assistant door keeper were made, a republican remarked: “if the inde- pendents don’t stick to us this time we will cuss ‘em oat.” It seems that the republicans are beginning to realize that they nave so far played a poor game in allowing themselves to be worked “hither and yan” by a handful of independents. That was a most complimentary vot» civen Mr. Burkhead for reading clerk of the house yesterday--107 to 3. Sev- eral reprblicans cordially endorsed him, and one said that if anybody should tell him there was a better reading clerk in the United States he would not believe it. Jax. 6rH.—The U. S.

TORIO, before the revolution of 1868, was call- ed the northern capitol of Japan. It was the residence of Shogun —the Mikado residing at Kioto. For 250 years all the Shoguns came from the Tokugawa family and were the milita- ry head of the empire. The Mikads, shut up in his palace at Kioto, did not fizure outwardly in the affairs of his empire. He was never seen except by a few household attendants, and was surrounded by mystery and awe —thie All busi- transacted ness of importance was through the Shozun, and frequently he : 5 | : \ { | { | | | | iwas known to act independently in miaitters of to Japan, as, for example, when Com- the greatest mnportance modore Perry anchored bis ships in Yeddo Buy his negotiations were car- riel on with the Shogun, and after- wards when it was aseertained that the signature of the Mikado was necessary to the validity of the treaty mude with the Shogun for commercial relations between the United States and Japan the opposition to the letter, which had long existed with some of the most powerful princes, breaking out in open hostility, Imauzurated the revolution of 11888. which resulted ia avolishing the office of Shogun, aad restoring to the Mikalo both the eivil and military power, and removing the capitol trom | Kioto to Tokin.

J. . Laws Against Food Adulteration. | The adulieration of food is leoming ‘ap a8 3 most impoftant question. It ‘is a matter that interests all for all are affected by it. It takes 6,000,000 of men to produéé the food consunied yearly in the United States. It costs thé laboring people 25 cents a day to ilive upon an average. The food of the ' people of our country costs $4,562,000,- |000 each year. We give the figures of : Mr. Edward Atkinson, the able statis- tician and publicist of Boston, in his very striking and important article in ithe Century Magazine for January. It becomes then a very pressing and ‘important question when the food of {the people is adulterated. Massachu- | setts is more careful to regulate ques- 'tions of transportation, of health. of (food, &c., than perhaps any of the States. It looks after the public health 'and it, therefore, looks abter the food of the people. Its Board of Health has been inquiring mto the milk the people consume. In that State milk is no longer mixed with deleterious com- pounds. Fines and penalties have done the work for the unprincipled miik- men. The Health Department broke up the adulterating business to a very great extent. But the adulteration of butter still goes on. Thereport in Massachusetts shows of 89 samples 82 were adultera- ted. Mark you, this was done in a State where the laws against adultera- tion are very strict. [f they will do such things in Massachusetts what will they not do in North Carolina and elsewhere ? Baking cn were examined by the State chemist. Ot fifty kinds 35 ‘contained alam. which: js hurtful and to be avoided always. Of 22 samples of ground ,coffee but three were found to contain any coffee whatever. Peas, rye, wheat mixed with chicory were the ingredients used. Manle sugar too was sadly doctored. Jellies and jams were bad. Housekeepers attend. ‘There were 32 samples tested. Oh, Jewhili- kens! But 3 were found free from adulteration. What enemies of the human stomach and honesty! Such are some of the samples of rascality. Ought not the Legislature to give more attention to the adulteration of the foad of the people? Cannot strin- gent laws and a fthful execution of them drive out to a great extent bogus goods and impure food and drinks? Is not a faithful trial desirabler If the right laws were enacted. seen as Mas- sachusetts has, and astern effort at their execation was made if the evil of adulteration was not entirely destroved it would at least be very considerably reduced, and in time might be extirpa- ted. -- Welmingion Star. ee ee Cail for a New North While we are Hstentue to so much rant and cant about the “new sooth” by all means let us have a new North.

The good people of North Carolina have seldom heard of a death they will more sincerely mourn than that of Carvin H. Witey. He was one of our ablest divines, and was dearly be- loved by christian people throughout the State. He was one of our ablest citizens. He was identified with the development and progress of the Com- mon School systein, and pe Pia interests of the State. A man of pro- found learning, and of enlarged and liberal views, his death is a loss which will be widely felt and deplored. Lee 8. Overman— of ours—has been defeated.

He yot all his party had to offer—a thing Mr. Webster did not do—a thing that is as far above and beyond him as is Lee S. Overman himself. It is hardly probable that our party will permit our Lee to be- come a permanent’ loser by this treach- erous rape of the Speakership from his hands.

We are in receipt of circulars giving full descriptions of the proposed inva- sion of the old world by the “Gate City Guards of Atlanta.” It will be an in- cident of orginal conception on a grand scale, and of highly interesting character. Capt. J. F. Burke, a thor- ough disciplinarian and a man of large experience and culture, is at the head of it, which gives assurance that the plans, all previously and minutely laid out, will be entirely executed. It is prosposed to sail from New York ex- actly at 12 o clock, Saturday July 2d. The Gate City Guards will leave Atlan- taon thé 27th June. The excursion- ists, which may comprise several hun- dred visitors besides the military, sail for Antwerp in Belgium; thence they will go to Brussels, Paris, Lausanne, Switzerland, and Ouchy on the lake of Geneva, to Italy, and all around, visit- ing historic places and sight-seeing pro- miscuously. The Senate of the U. 8. Congress was discussing the inter- State Commerce Bill, on Tuesday. The object of this bill is to require railroad companies to arrange freight rates with exact reference to the distance of trans- rtation, dealing with their customers ble and equitably and without dis- crimination. There can be no unifor- mity nor fairness in railroad rates until Congress shall establish some general, well guarded rule over the subject. In the House, Mr. Oates, of Ala., from the committee on the revision of the laws, reported the bill to prohibit the appointment of Congressional com- mittees to attend funerals at the pub- lic expense outside the District of Columbia, and also to prohibit the dra- ping of public buildings in mourning, except upor the authority of the presi- dent.

The story of his eseape from Siberia, of his residence in China, and then in South America, and finally among the indians of North America, is a little romance.

We call uttention of members of the Legislature to the subject of food adul- teration.

The democrats, it will be seen, voted for instructing our representatives in Con- gress, &c: “Mr. White’s resolution, instructing our representatives in Congress to work and vote forthe Blair bill, came up at noon as the special order. The Demo- crats announced their readiness tofsupport the bill, but antagonized the resolution introduced by Richmond Pearson, and the latter was placed by Pearson in com- pany with White’s resolution but the Speaker ruled that Whites resolution had precedence. Sutton, of Cumberland, denounced Pearson’s resolution as purely and simp- ly a campaign document, in the shape of an attack upon the Democratic party, for its alleged failure to pass the Blair bill. Overman, Holt and Leazer also attacked Pearson, whoafterwards got the floor and made a savage attack upon the Demo- crats in Congress. It was the most par- tisan speech of the session and caused more excitement than any heretofore de- livered. Overman made a withering re- sponse, telling Pearson he was a traitor and a Republican. Dr. Worth counselled peace and order after which matters became quiet.

Mr. Epiror: The unanimity with which the press of the State gave circulation to the call for a joint meeting of farmers with the State Board of Agticulture, together with the fa- vorable editorial comment accompanying that publication, has led to the belief that the Convention of farmers will prove of more than ordinary interest, and that the results will ultimately redound to the permanent benefit of that class of our citizens. Relying on your assistance in’ every- thing that pertains to the encouragement of agricultureal pursuits, reference is made to the reduced schedule of rates for those attending this convention.

(State Chronicle.) We have great hope of improvement in agriculture in North Carolina when we see the farmers coming together to discuss methods. We suppose there have been more gatherings of farmers in the several counties in the State during the present year than any time since the Grane avita- tation. This is due largely to the fact that farming dovs not pay as well as formerly, and the intelligent farmers sec the need ot exchanging experences with a view to adopting a system of farming that will bring larger returns to the husbandman.

The ebject is for the benefit of the farm- ers of the State, and a large attendance is respectfully solicited. (Pine Knot.) We wish to direct your attention to the call for a joint meeting of the farmers of the State with the Board of Agriculture. published on fourth column of this page. Every intelligent farmer ought to be pres- ent. He should go for the purpose both of teaching and being taught. If he is a be- liever in his State, and a thorough lover of it—and what North Carolinian is not?—he ought to be keenly interested in this. Let him instruct his fellow farmers, if he can; if not, let him receive instruction gracefully, and profit by it. The Board of Agriculture, too—perhaps that necds a little of your counsel, It is doing good for the whole State, but doesn’t pretend to all-wisdom on subjects agricultural. It wants your en- couragement anyway, Go, all of you, and attend the meeting. (Concord Times ) The attention of the reader is directed to the call, found in this paper, trom Gov Scales, for a joint mecting of the farmers With the State Board of Agriculture, to. be held in Raleigh on the night of the 18th oi January next.

It is desired that many be present at the mecting and that every county in the State be represented. (Progressive Farmer.) The State Board of Agriculture will hold & meeting on the night ot Jan 18th, 1887, to discuss topics appertaining to the material interests of the State, to which the farmers of the various sections of the State are invi- ted to go and participate in the discussion, so as to give the Department the benefit of their views and learn what it is doing.

Lebanon Shakers Found—Incident in the His- tory of a Quict Community, The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com- munity, secluded from the fret’ and worry of the outside world. They are widely known, how- ever, for their strict honor and probity in business. The Shakers believe that na- ture has aremedy for every dis- ease. A few have been found— the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci- dent. thers came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com- paratively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. Itisa joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as sepa- rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-sighted Shakers to prove that the basis of this ternble and often fatal compli- cation lies chiefly in the disord- ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus:—‘“If we can in- duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre- tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat- ters which remain after the life- giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys- pepsia and Nervous Exhaust- ion. And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Scigel’s Syrup) in less ea though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they preseribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in- curable—with perfect suecess in every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex- haustion is a peculiarly Ameri- can disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it— bothsexes and all nees. Inno country in the world are there SO many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or continual head- ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau- seous eructations; the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppress- ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake- fulness and loss of sleep; dis- gust with food even when weak fromthe need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth, especially on ris- ing in the morning; furred and coated tongue; Cull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipation; dry or rough skin ; inability to fix the mind on any labor call- ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore- bedings and fears. All this terrible group Shaker [Extract — (Seigel’s Syrup) removes by its pos- itive, powerful, direct yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life’s fire) which unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body through the bowels, kid- neys and skin. ‘The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, ‘toned and fed by the purified blood.

Do not confound metallic arsenic with ar- senopyrite, or any of the arsenic com- pounds, such as arsenites and arseniates, which are more or less common. Metallic arsenic is remarkably volatile, as well as the most combustible of the metals. Its specific gravity is 5.96, and in the scale of hardness stands as the softest solid metal, being only 3.5. It is not a desirable thing to have associated aith iron ore, as it has a tendency to make irom brittle; at the -same time it gives great fluidity to melted iron. For this latter reason it is used to make sharp, or delicate, outline castings, es- pecially where no great strength is re- quired of the casting. It has no value ag a metal, but is rare in this country, and is sought by collectors and men of science for cabinet purposes. It is interesting in that it adds another to the long list of minerals found in North Carolina. ISENHOUR MINES.

We are decidedly of the opinion that the constant and free use of it, in hot weather is deleterious to health, It is a mortifying thought, that our able and brilliant representative in the House of Representatives, Lee S.

Maud Maller on a summer’s day, Raked the meadow sweet with hay. ‘Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth Of simple beatty and rustic health. Singing, she wrought, and ber merrywlee, The mock-bird echoed from his tree. But, when she glanced to the far-off town, White from its hill-slope looking down, The sweet.song died, and a vague unrest And a nameless longing filled her.deeast— A wish, that she hardly dared to own, For something better than she had known. The Judge rode slowly down the lane, Smoothing his horses ehestnut mane. He drew his bridle in the shade Of apple tree to greét the maid, And ask a draught of the spring that flowed Through the meadows across the road. She stooped where the egol spring bubbled up, And filled for him her smatl tin cup, And blushed aa she gave it looking down -< On her feet so bare, and her poping far”. “Thanks!” said the Judge, “asweeter diaught From a fairer hand was never quaffed.” He spoke of the grass, and the flowers and trees, Of the singing birds and the humming bees; Then talked of the haying and wondered whether The cloud in the west would bring foul weather. And Maud forgot her briar torn gown; And her graceful ankles bare and brown; And listened, while a pleased surprise Looked from her long-lashed hazel eyes. At last, like one who for delay Seeks a vain excuse, he rode away. Maud Muller looked and sighed: “Ah me! That I the Judge’s bride might be! He would dress me up in silks so fine, And praise and toast me at his wine. My father should wear a broad-cloth coat; My brother should sail a painted boat. I'd dress my mother so grand and gay, And the baby should have a new toy each day. And I'd feed the hungry and clothe poor, And ali should bless me who left our door.” The Judge looked back as he climbed the hill, And saw Maud Muller standing still. ‘A form more fair, a face more sweet, Neer hath it been my lot to meet. And her modest answer and graceful air, Show her wise and good as she was fair. Wonld she were mine, and I to-day, Like her a harvester of hay; No doubtful balance of rights and wrongs, And weary lawyers with endless tongues, But low of cattle and song of birds, And health of qaiet and loving words:’ But he thought of his sisters, proud and cold, And his mother, vain of her rank and gold. So, closing his heart, the Judge rode on, And Maud was left in the field alone. But the lawyers smiled that afternoon, When he humined in court an old loye-tunc: And the young girl mused beside the well, Till the rain on the unraked clover fell. Ie wedded a wife of richest dower, Who lived for fashion as he tor power. Yet oft, in his marble hearth’s bright glow, He watched a picture come and go. And sweet Maud Muller's hazel eyes Looked out in their innocent surprise. Oft when the wine in his glass was red. He longe | for the wayside well instead: And closed his eyes on his garnished rooms, To dream of the meadows and clover blooms. And the proud man sighed, with a secret pain: “Ah! that I were tree again! Free as when I rode that day, Where the barefoot maiden raked her hay.” She wedded a man unlearned and poor, And inany children played round her door. But care and sorrow and child-birth pain, Left their traces on heart and brain. And oft, when the summer sun shone hot, On the new-mown hay in the meadow lot, And she heard the little spring-brook fall Over the road-side, through the wall, In the shade of the apple tree again She saw a rider draw his rein; And, gazing down with timid grace, She felt his pleased eves read her face. Sometimes ber narrow kitchen walls Stretched away into stately halls: The weary wheel to a spinnet turned, The tallow candle an astral burned, And for him who sat in the chimney Ing, Dosing and grumbling o’er pipe and mug, A manly form at her side she saw, And joy was duty, and love Was law. Then she took up her burden of life again, Sayiug only, “It might have been!” Alas! for Maiden, alas! for Judge ; Por rich repiney and household drudge! God pity them both! and pity us all, Who vainly the dreams of youth recall. For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: “It might have heen!” Ah, well! for us all some sweet hope lies Deeply buried from human eyes ; And, in the hereafter, angels may Roll the stone from its grave away ! Watttier. en op oe The Law of Libel. Under this caption a writer in the Statesville Landmark, Jan. 13, reviews this subject from a legal standpoint. contrasting our Statute on the subject with the English law, &. The end and aim of the writer was to bring the discussion to bear on the ‘Mer- chants Protective Union,” a new or- ganization of recent establishment in this section, concerning whieh he-says: My attention is now called to this matter by a practical case. We have among us, and [ believe it has spread or is spreading to every part of the South, an institution called the “Mer- chants’ Protective Union’—a new fungus coming no doubt from Yankee- land—that land, to the South, “The direful spring Of woes unnumbered.”’ This society, as I understand, pro- poses to organize in every town for the purpose of collecting the debts due its members, not by or according to the constitution and laws of the State, but contrary to and in spite of both conati- tution and laws. They propose to de- ;mand the debt in writing, and if not |paid by the way specified in the de- mand then to advertise the defaulting debtor, along with his fellows in lke calamity, in a printed pamphlet to be ‘sent to all business men and scattered broadcast over the country, the pam- phlet stating the name and renidetes of the debtor, the amount of the debt, what contracted for, that it is not paid, &e., &. And by this species of terror- ism they propose to render the condi- tion of the debtor “intolerable and his life burdensome” until he pays the debt. In this ray they propose to annul not only the homestead and exemption rovisions of the constitution and the aw, but.to repeal the laws of poverty and make a debtor pay whether he is able or not.of become publicly infamous, This roress, continued and repeated, would more cruel than the rack. It would be in itself an exquisite species of tor- ture. I submit, if this is allowed to proceed, and the truth of the matter published shall be held to be a com- plete defence for the publication, that the injured will take the remedy in their own hands.

Columbus, 0., January 7.—The 4th annual banquet and celebration of the 8th of January, under the auspices of the Jackson club, was held at the city buildings tonight. The hall was hand- somely decorated with appropriate pic- tures on the walls and a profusion of flags and bunting festooned from the arches overhead. The stage bore large size pictures of the hero of New Orleans, Thurman, Tilden and Presi- dent Cleveland. Four tables extended lengthwise of the room. Judge Allen G. Thurman, who was the living hero of the evening, spoke to “The Union—The Common Heritage of Patriots.” As soon as the andience had become sufficiently qniet, he spoke as follows: Mr. President: We have assembled not to make a_ platform for the Demo- cratic party of the United States; not to set at work any party machinery, the political advance of any person whomsoever; not to set in judgment upon or to ostracise men of our party, because in some particulars they may differ in regard to men; but we are here assembled to do what we can to reinvigorate the fundamental princi- ples of our party, talking about, as far as possible, umity of sentiment and ac- tion; to renew our devotion to the union of states and to gather inspira- tion from the example and teachings of the great man whose valor and whose virtues we this meht celebrate. And what better homage can we pay to him who fought when a child to achieve our independence; who fought when 2 man to maintain and preserve it, and who, when at the head of the government, and at a dangerous crisis of our country’s history, uttered the ever-inemorabie sentiment, “The Union; it must and shall be maintained!’— than to declare, as we doin the toast just read, that “the union is the com- mon heritage of the patriots.” Yes, Mr. President, it is so, and it out to be so. Men may have been misguided and gone wrong in the past, but what- ever may be a man’s history, if he is today and means to be in the future a true, devoted friend of? the union, that union is a part of his heritage. It cannot be necessary to speak to an audience like this of the advantages that may be possessed by the union, but it may Le proper to say something of the means by which it can be pre- served; for, although the union may be, and [ think it is, stronger today than it was ever before, yet it would. be a mistake to suppose that it will never, in the long course of time, encounter dangers that will. require the utmost wisdom and patriotism to meet and counteract. We have now a popula- tion of about 60,000,000. people. If the union lives another hundred years, our population, at the rate of increase that has hitherto prevailed, will be nearly, or quite, 800,000,000—nearly 200,000-. 000 more than inhabit the whole con- tinent of Europe. So numerous a popu- lation—intelligent, active, industrious, educated, has never been seen under the rule of any government on the face of the globe. But if such shall be our condition one hundred years hence, what will it be when two or three, or more, centuries shall have rolled away ? Manifestly, to hold such a vast popula- tion, with a prodigious diversity of in- terest and occupations, feeling and opinions, firmly united under one flag, will require a degree of wisdom, know- ledge, and patriotism that has never yet been displayed in a government of mankind. Some persons suppose that the union can be preserved one by the consolidation of all substantial power in the hands of the federal government, thus, in effect, practically destroying the long cherished home rule of our state governments, which has been productive of so many benefits and of so much content. For myself I am of the opinion entertained by the fathers of Democracy, that such consolidation, instead of being preservative would be certainly destructive of the union. While [ fully agree with those who as. sert that the general government should be cheerfully sustained in the exercise of all powers conferred npon it SALISBURY, N: C., gnitecsos) baservteel 2h nb Puiage oi T~ by the constitution, I, atthe same time, think no feature in opr eomplex system of government is more deserv- ing of preservation, more for the seearity of liberty andthe promo- tion of the best interests andl happiness of the people, than the home rule of our state governments, and because this home rule is the eherished doctrine of the Democratig.party, I think the preservation .of- the -party.is about a synonym for the presefvation of liberty and union. I thing that the Democratic party is the national party of free institutions, and t : be indispensible so long, ists in America. If I to say that we are say that we are unidi swerving friends of” The rule. There is no time foui@thé, . cuss so grand « theme, the mas esting that could be presented to the mind of an American citizen.” All that I can do-in concluding my brief re- marks is to conjure you to cherish a deep and unfaltering love for your free institutions; to incu.cate this love in the minds of your children, never, under any circumstances, however, ap- palling, to despair of the republic. ee eee Common Sense About Debt. By Charles Phillips, D. D., L. L. D., of Chapel Hill, N. C. 1. Simple honesty requires this pay- ment. An intellight man knows when he is in debt, and conscience bids him get out of it. A man who is careless or reckless about his debts is a man with a dead conscience. 2. A regard for his reputation urges a man to pay his debts. | His veracity isin danger while they are unpaid. Credit was given him because he prom- ised to pay them. Confidence of man in man is injured by neglect of such obligations. 3. Society is not a mass of separate individuals. It consists of men tied together by faith in mutual promises. [f A does not pay his debts, he cannot expect to get what B owes him wheth- er it be money or favors. 4. Law, the expression of authority, demands the payment of debts. Courts and Judges and Lawyers exist to decide and declare the necessity of such pay- ments. Sheriffs and Constables are bound to execute these declarations. The whole force of our Society, both moral and organized, is at the back of our officials to secure the payment of what is justlyowed. The credit of men in business depends on the personal reliability of debtors, and on the vigor ous, prompt, impartial and successful execution of the laws which define for a creditor his peculiar nghts. How can Debts be Paid?—In one of two ways only. By the debtor him- self or his surety. Hither the debtor himself must provide the necessary funds—from his own property, that is by his own exertions—or he must pro- vide a sufficient surety, one willing and able to pay the debt. This alnlity con- sists in having property which is not liable for other debts. The wit of man has never and nowhere devised any other way to pay lawfal debts. Either of these two ways lead one into a sure defence against the demands of a law- ful creditor. A Duty is a Debt.--Its very name shows what it is. The word duty has ine same originas debt. | Both come from a Latin word which means to owe.“ Pay what thou owest” is but ‘nother form of “Do your duty.” what you ought” is also but a com- mand to pay one’s debts. 1 ought to do that of which I owe the doing. It is the duty of every rational and_re- sponsible creature to love his Creator, to fear Him and to keep His command- ments. These are debts of first and inevitable obligation. A man ought to love his fellow-man, to love his wife, his family, his country, to be truthful and industrious, and courteous, and sympathetic, and generous. Never, so long as he is alive, can he escape from ‘hese debts. If he neglect one, or if he ius failed in the slightest of these uni- versal duties, he is in debt to God, or to man, or to both. “Pay what thou ow- ost’ will ring in his ears wherever he ix,— whatever he may become. He must get rid of Conscience before he can become deaf to this cry. must die that he may live free from and ten thousand other such “hese debts. We Must pay Them, or a surety must pay them for us. obligations. If the principal in these debts —the man subject to these duties —cannot perform them, he must, that surety. This surety must—aceording to common sense—be free from, ahove the law that imposes these duties. Else his love, fear, Fonesty and liberality will free but his own self from the Law. This must have what it claims. — It cannot give credit for more. elation, declares that a man must p-y an acceptable and accepted surety. osophy and experience .the Word of God gives a full endorsement. “ As it is appointed unto men once to dic, but after this the judgment: So Chirist was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews ix, 27,28.

ENGLAND'S ALLEGED REFUSAL TO RE- CEIVE THE GATE CITY GUARD AROUSES HER IRE. - Atlanta, Ga., January 7.—“If the United States wants volunteers to, wage war against the English Government ‘the Gate City Guard, of this city, is not only ready but anxous to do its duty,” id an angry Atlanta nian today. The ouncement that the application of p Guard for permission to enter Brit- h territory had failed created a sensa- ion which has engaged the uttenti and sroused the iendeeailitot?-08 “every young man inthe city. The Guard ad a record before the war and has maintained it since, and done good ser- vice on several occasions. The vetran | captain of the company is Joseph T. Burke. a gentleman of strong military taste and who has the wealth to enable him to gratify his desires. Ten months ago he arranged a trip through Europe, which should embrace military dis- pial in the capitals of England, France, pain, Germany and Italy. At once there were more applicants for mem- bership than could be accepted, ar- rangements were perfected to charter one of the Red Star dine steamers, and negotiations were opened up through Mr. Bayard, Secretary of State, for permission to pass through the coun- tries named. Last night’s mail brought to Gov. Gordon a sealed packet from the secretary of State, and Capt. Burke was hastily sent for. When the cap- tain came out of the Executive office lie refused to talk, but it was soon learned that the Gate City Guard, as an organization could not land in Eng- land. It appears that when Secretary Bay- ard’s application reached Mr. Phelps, the latter gentleman declined to deliv- er it officially, but m an, unofficial manner he ascertained that such a visit as the one proposed could not be thought of. The fact was recalled that during the Phoenix Park sensa- tion in Ireland a similar application had been made by the Detroit Guards through Secretary Frelinghuysen. Mr. Lowell, whose Anti-Irish policy is so well known, grew pale when he discov- ered that the name of the commander was Mike Whelan. The idea of allow- ing aman with an Irish name to pas rade through her Majesty's deminions was preposperous and he therefore de- clined to push the matter. Therefore Mr. Phelps had a precedent to guide him,>and he returned the negative response which made Capt. Burke so serious. There happens, however, to be a story behind all this. On March 1% last there was a monster Irish demon- stration given in Atlanta, attended by the best people of the city, at which Capt. Bane was the principal orator. The Captain grew warm in his remarks and his speech displeased several well- 'known English sympathizers here who, lwhen Capt. Burke mapped out his | Huropean trp, sent copious extracts }of his speech to men prominent in | English affairs. The result has already been told. When called upon to night Cap‘. | Burke was busy answering telegrams | ‘about the new phase put upon his ex- | “It isa mistake,” said he, “to as- ‘sume that the refusal of England to al-| low us to parade under arms will stop | ithe trip. The Gate City Guard has | i perfected arrangements for the Euro- | pean trip, and will go even if every | Grovernor in Europe should refuse per- ' |mussion to us to go underarms. We! ‘will go simply as tourists, taking along | ‘with us onr uniforms and accontre- | iments. In this manner, if we should be } ‘invited to give exhibition drills we will | | be in readiness, and if we should not be } ‘so invited we will scale the Alps with just as much zest as if every crowned head in Kurope was looking on with approval. Put it down that the Guard | will go to Kurope without fail, per- | mission or no permission. Claverius wants more time. It is no 'uncomnion thing for convicts to ask | t 7 . tor tine.

A. POLYGAMY BILL. Washington, Jan. 12.—The feature = aie eo was the Mee bat ea of Delegate Caine of Utah “for his Mormon constituents age the Edmunds Anti-Polygamy bill, and the Tucker substitute: ‘there- for, which were under discussion. He began by saying that the bill, if passed would turn the’ Mormons and their church. over to the insatiable spoilers. ¥ He went on to say that -the prescri tion’ of 4 test oath as a Hisite bb a man exercising ‘the right o was a clear violation of the Constita- tion; he claimefthat this provision of the bill was prepostefous. He a : to the-fleume ta samsides tell Yekoce ets nie gn es assented to the monstrous propositions contained in the bill. ~Religious bigot- ry and influence were arrayed against his people. Political necessity, cant, hypocrisy and all kindred Pecksniffian- ism joined in the hue and cry. In conclusion Mr. Caine pledged his word.that the statements upon which this legislation . was based were false. Time, the corrector of all evils, would right this wrong, if such it were. The fact of the eternal had already declared that the last vestige of Mormonism shall be swept away the peaceful progress of eventsif it is not that which God in his wisdom has appoint- ed to survive as the fitest. Mr. Tucker (Va.) said that though he had reported the bill he would vote against it if he thought there was one thing in it which treuched upon the conscience even of a Mormon. The gentleman from Utah (Caine) said: “Wait, if we are wrong we will sink.” But the government wanted Utah as one of the States of the Union. Why did it not come in? Because there were 150,000 Mormons who would establish polygamy as one of the institutions of that State. It was the duty of Con- gress to prepare Utah to come into the Union, and prepare it by extirpating and rooting out that which was alien to the germs of our instituions. He believed if this bill were enacted into a law and supplemented by the proposed constitutional amendment, mormon- ism Would go to pieces. He meant as a polygamous institution—and that Utah would be peopled by a free peo- ple and would be ready to come into, the Union. He wanted to pass the! bill here and now, so that the 12th of!

I have used Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, in my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this terrible disease.

Tt — . © hy oo ar t e . ve Carolina _ THURSDAY, JAN. 20, 1887. SS _———— a = A Sad Sight. One of the saddest sights ever seen in 7 was a wood wagon hauling N cabbage out into the country. {t was enough to make a mortgaged mule against the stable and weep lean lears ote .—Macon Telegraph. What then shall be said of North Carolina wagons doing the same thing? They not only haul out of our towns a few cabbage heads, but thousands of bushels of western ruised corn, irish of northern or eastern growth, thousands of pounds of western bacon, and many other articles which might be produced at home. ‘There can be no anent cure of “hard times” while this state of things continues. Our people have the means of self-sup- port—can raise from the soil all that is needful for their health and comfort —but if they will not doit, “hard times” are sure to come, not only to the farmer, but to others, who may be expected to share his fortune. All are aware that many of the far- mers of Rowan have of late years their energies on cotton or , relying on ‘hes crops for the money to buy their supplies of western ahr on the plea that they can ay them cheaper than they can raise them on their own farms. A few per- sons may have been to some extent successful on this plan; but it is a well known, oft repeated truth that the plan is extremely danyerous, and ruins many, while it may succeed with a few. All the teachings of agricultural litera- ture, and that is only the embodiment of agricultural knowledge and exper- jence, concur in denouncing the prac- tice as unsafe and hazardous. The only safe rule is to supply your own requirements first, and then provide a surplus for the market. Failure to do this is, nine times out of ten, failure to meet the demands which are sure to come up in the course of the year. Failure to do it, is failure in the lead- ing object of the farmer. Trouble comes upon himself and _ family, aad he is not able to turn it away nor to overcome it. His creditors suffer with him, and he loses the confidence of men who might help him, and so he is doomed to drag out a miserable, half-starved existence and lie down at last feeling that his whole life has been a disappointment. ee Granite Cutting. Mr. C. H. Hall, of Belfast Maine, says the Ticin City Daily, contemplates moving South and setting up his busi- ness of granite cutting, if he can finda place in all points suitable. Mr. C. A. Hege, of the Salem Iron works, is in compnunication with Mr. Hall, who is expected to visit this State 800n on a prospecting tour. We would mention as worthy of note, in this connection, that the gran- ite range starting in Cabarrus and ex- tending all the way across Rowan into the county of Davidson, is perhaps the most inviting field in this part of the State for 1 company wishing to go ly into the business. It runs within three anda half miles of this place, and will be cut by the projected Atlantic and Northwestern een which, it should be remembered, is to be built within the next two years. The range swells up into hills and knolls along its line, thus forming advanta- geous ground for quarrying, if a down grade is of any ifmportance in such work. Dunn’s mountain lying off in fall view within 34miles of this place, it will be rewembered, supplied the stone of which the government Post office at Raleigh, was built. It is undoubtedly valuable. property, and is sure to come igtd large demand in the future devel- opment of the:gouthern States. i Birmingham, Ala., is perhaps the most booming town in the southern States. Her iron ores and coal are wonderful attractions, and are drawing in enterprising people from all parts of the country, north and south. Ten years ago her population was about 3,500. It is now said to be 35,000. Aid the money capital of the city hus increased in equal or even greater proportion. Factories of va- rious kinds are springing up there, but the chief development is in the iron business. This is attracting the capi- tal of the northern scetions of the country which is pouring in by the million. The, facilities for iron pro- duction and iron manufacturs are superior to any in the northern States; and the coal deposits, it appears from a recent report of the State Geologist, are three times greater than those of Pennsylvanir. The mildness of the climate is another favoring circum- stance. Altogether, Alabama bids fair to become at no distant day the lead- ing State of the South, in all that con- stitutes wealth and commercial im- portance. eg More About Bingham. Raleigh, Jan. 17.—No autopsy was held on the body of Miss Turlington, by the jury of inquest. A private ex- anipation made at Wilmington b family physicians brought to light that the murderer had attempted another crime than that of -murder. Later Still, it is rumored at Raleigh that Bingham is in custody, but where, is for the present not revealed by the Governor, who is supposed to be in jon of the facts. It is supposed e isin some asylnm north. He has mot been captured by officers of the law, but it is kelieved his whereabouts is certainly known. amma - . : AS J. H. Welburn, Esq., of Lexiagton.

The members of St. Stephens church, the | t Catholic church in New York eity, are very much stirred up over the action of Archbishop Corri in removing the Rev. Father McGlynn for making a political speech in favor of the Labor candidate in the late N. Y. Mayoralty contest. The hope of the St. Stephens parishioners are that the Pope will not sustain the action of the Archbishop but will reinstate Father McGlynn. Outside of the Catholic world the people are watching the case and wondering if a foreign potentate will dare to dictate politics to free American citizens. At ameeting of the members of St. Ste- phens, Mondayjnight, the building wa: packed with jan intensely earnest con- tion by whom resvlutions censur- ing the Archbishop in stroug terms were passed. At Cooper Union, Catho- lic people also assembled in large num- bers to consider the situation. Here resolutions of much wider range were adopted, in which the Archbishop and the Pope were notified that they could not use the church power to control the political rights of Catholics in free America. on or or Another wonderful story has had its origin in the mountains of North Carolina. It is the account of a hairless man, 64 feet in height and 200 lbs. weight. This, of itself, is not much of a wonder but the story relates how he lost his hair, and that is the wonderment part of the case. The man, it is said, kill- ed his brother some years ago, and the ghost of that brother paid him nightly visits for the purpose of plucking every hair from his head, face, and body. It wasa three months’ job, but the ghost was persistent until he got the last hair, and sent his brother out into the world us slick asa peeled onion. Now, it is expected everybody will bolt the whole story and go to see the slick man when he comes along among Bar- num’s curiosities. a Election of U. 8. Senators. Michigan has elected Col. F. B. Stockbridge. Delaware Legislature has agreed on Gov. Gray for her Senator and will elect him. Maine has re-elected Hale. Pennsylvania has chosen W.S. Quay. I!linois has elected C. B. Farwell. Connecticut will elect Mr. Hawley. Minnesota has elected C. K. Davis. Indiana Legislature has come within one vote of electing Mr. Turpie. These elections took place on Tues- day. — oo or We cannot well understand how it is that Mr. Pearson holds his seat in the present Legislature. If he did not violate law and make himself ineligible to oftice in his affairs with Mr. McAden and Gen. Jones then it will be hard to do unless there is an actual fight. But the com- mittee on propositions of the House say there has been no violation of the law, and the committee ought to know. Of course they are all well qualified to de- cide as toa question of law and fact.— Wilmington Star. Nor can we understand the con- struction of a plain article of the State Constitution whieh debars John Smith because John carried a challenge, from being a township constable, who has nothing to do but to enforce laws within the range of his official duties, and yet permits Mr. Pearson to assist in making laws for the government of the State. Mr. Pearson who sent a challenge and for it incurred the pen- alty, is allowed to make laws, but not allowed to be a constable or a magis- trate! Do the members of the Legisla- ture believe such an absurdity was in- tended by the framers of the Constitu- tion! If they do, they believe what they cannot make the people believe. If the framers of the Constitution in- tended members elected to the Legisla- ture should escape the penalty of the law, they deliberately perpetrated a fraud upon their constituents, and enacted an absurdity for which there is no explanation or apology. -————_~ae———__—- Wilmington Star—During the cam- paign the Star said that when a fellow gan to kick at his party it generally ended in his kicking himself into the arms of the opposition. The Indepen- dents— Kicking Democrats so-called— in the House have already made their beds with the “Radikils” they have so long antagonized. Pearson and other fellows of the same stripe are display- ing not only a mischievous and un- reasonable spirit, but one wholly in- consistent with previous declarations and promises. Their conrse shows that they are factious and wilful and are much more bent upon displaying heat- ed zeal for the new alhance than they are for serving the people or confer- ring benefits and blessings upon the people. They have started out upon a line of conspicuous demagogery. As the tree falls so let it lie. The Montgomery Vidette, Jan. 13.— A nice young deer was killed near town last Friday. 8.

In introducing Mr. Schultz he referred to the necessity of specific Tariff reform.” He said: “It would be better for the workingman, when he woes to buy a yard of carpet, if he could get it for seventy-five cents instead of $1. and we know that he could get it for seventy-five, cents instead of $1 if there were no duty on carpet wools. We know, moreover, that carpet factories which are now shut up for want of a market could all be open and running on full time if the manufacturers were not obliged to pay a duty on wool they use, but could bny it as cheap as English manufacturers thus export carpets to Austria and South America. We kuvow that it would be better for the work- ing people of this country if the hundred million dollars that are vow paid in unnec- essary taxes could be used in the payment of wages and a larger production of Ameri- can manufactures, which would employ more workmen and increase our commerce with foreign countries.” — Wilmington Star. _ > + ALL MEDICAL AUTHORITES Agree that catarrh is no more bor less than an in- flamation of the linlug membrane of the nasal air passages.

Hasten the time. That business generally is quiet there is no denying. Never discourage any one who would like to make Salisbury his home, espe- oially one with capital. Tobacco sales have not been heavy here this week. The almost impassable public roads have something to do with this. “Kind words are the music of the world. There is hardly a power on earth equal to them. It is by veice that men mes- merize each other.” —Faber. The weather is greatly moderated, snow gone, and mud enough. P. 8. Mud frozen as hard asthe nether millstone. Tuesday was avery cold day—made more keenly sensible to those exposed to it by astiff breeze from morning until night. The town was full of cavalry last Sat- urday. The country people did their marketing horseback, as it was next to impossible to get a wagon through the mud—hence the dragoons. KNOXVILLE.—Mr. John M. Knox has erected another dwelling on his property on Ellis street. If he adds one every year he will have.a town of his own after a while. There isan Italian stopping with Mr. Swicegood of this town who understands trimming vines and trees. We mention it for benefit of those who have no skill in that kind of work. Goldsboro and Greensboro, it is report- ed, will have electric lights. Unless the gas company of this city shall speedily improve the quality of the gas furnish- ed, and put it at lower figures, the elec- tric lights will step in here also. Communication with our neighbor, Davie county, is somewhat interferred with, en account of the terrible condition of the roads. Never mind, the day is not far distant when a run from Salisbury to Mocksville will consume about forty minutes. Last Sunday was an exceptionally fine day for this season of the year—the Congregations at all the churches here being large. Several of the aged and infirm, who have been debarred from at- tendance upou the Sanctuary since Win- ter began, were present Sunday. Mr. Stephen Clark of Third Creek has on hand several thousand pounds of supe- rior bright tobacco. The sample exhibit- ed a few days ago by one of our citizens who bad visited Mr. C’s barns, was of a quality not seen in this market every day, The result of his first attempt to cultivate the weed. The news-boy, on the 11 o'clock train Saturday, stated that he left Richmond that morning with one hundred copies of Cluverius’ book, written in prison, and had sold all but three when he arrived here. The price of the book that day, it being the day after the author’s execution, was fifty cents. Mr. Wm, Smithdeal has purchased from Meroney «& Bro., the lot lying immediate- ly in rear of their store and adjoining the Farmers’ tobacco warehouse, on which he has begun the erection of a large ware- house for storing buggies, wagons, agri- cultural implements, &c. Mr, M.S. Brown’s tailoring establish- ment will meet a long felt want here. Salisbury isin the habit of patronizing largely merchant tailors of New York, Baltimore and other cities, who come around regularly taking orders every season. This money hereafter will be spent at home. A most favorable sign of the future weal of Salisbury, is the fact that so nrany young men are purchasing unimproved town lots; but which will be built up as the owners become able. A little advice left here is pertinent. The first thing after establishing your line—plant- ing corner posts:—buy shade trees sufti- cient, when set twenty feet apart to ex- tend along the entire front of the prem- ises. Thus by the time you have com- pleted the buildings you will sooner or later erect, furnished the house, caught a nice little bird to put in it, your posessions will be handsomely adorned with shade trees large enough to afford good shade as well as to serve as an orna- ment. When our farmers learn to exercise the care which is necessary to the produc- tion of higher grades of tobacco, then will they begin to realize something for their labor. It will not pay, however, in this part of the county, to cultivate any one product to the exclusion of all others. But the first object should be to make the farm yield a subsistence for man and beast, and cultivate tobacco or cotton as asurplus. The family, with a crop of tobacco on hand with prices running low as they are now, who has no corn in the crib, no wheat in the grainary and no hay } in the mow, may be denominated a peorman. The same applies to cotton. atchman. | — a Tax payers should remember that Sheriff Krider has ‘made his Jast round for the collection of Staté and county dues, and lias taken his seat in his office and will perform the balance of the work there. Taking Time by the Forelock. An old subscriber to the WATCHMAN sends us the following postal: SALISBURY, N. C. Mr. J. J. Bruner—Sir:—Please discon- tinue my paper when my subscription expires. I willsave that to pay my R. R. tax. Yours, All right. You cannot save money for a much better purpose, though it is doubtful whether you will ever feel the railroad tax; and just so soon as the con- tractors begin to cut the dirt, we shall not feel the loss of -one subseription to the WATCHMAN. Some railroad man is sure to take your place on our list. Small Factories. The citizens of our country towns, (and we always think of Salisbury first,) should give all possible encouragement to the small industries which now and then struggle for existence among us. We would mention a broom factory by way of illustration, at this moment. It would be an easy thing to build up an estab- lishment of this kind. J. B. Watson, raised up to the business, could start it; and it will only require a steady support to give it all coveted success. Let the merchants buy from no one else—cease to bring brooms from distant States, and the thing is done. So; too, might many other small industries be sustained and built up here, and the money now sent abroad never to return kept right here at home doing the work so much needed. —————_~- Personal. Mrs. J. D. Gaskill, who has been quite ill is now convalescent. Mrs. Jno. P. Allison is visiting her brother, Hon. Kerr Craige. Salisbury still mourns over the loss of this queenly woman from its circles, Miss Mary Jones Beall, an accomplish- ed young lady of Lenoir, is visiting her Uncle, Capt. Tom Beall. Miss Alice Pearson has returned to Salisbury, and boarding at Mrs. McCor- kle’s. Miss Sthale of Gettysburg, Pa., is visit- ing her sister, Mrs. Linn, on Fulton Street. Mr. Will Lindsay, the popular buyer and salesman at Meroney Bro’s, has severed his connection with that house and goes to Baltimore. Weare sorry to lose such a young man from our midst, but wish him success in his new business. Mr. Wm. Overman, Sr., who has been for several weeks ill, we are glad to learn is better and was able to attend chureh on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Buckner, a Presbyterian di- vine, was in town last week. Rey. W. H. Bobbitt, D. D., has return- ed to Salisbury and resumed his duties as Presiding Elder of this District. Dr. Bobbitt is greatly beloved, and thorough- ly consecrated to ministerial work. ED oe Notice to the Physicians of Rowan Co. All regular Physicians of Rowan coun- ty are requested to meet at the Mayor’s office in Salisbury, February 5th, at 12 o’clock M. for the purpose of organizing a county medical society. There are overtwenty physicians in the county and we can see no reason why there should not bea telling society. Let all come to the organization—a right start may mean success while a bad start would undoubtedly mean failure. SEVERAL M. Ds. —— ———-.- ae Mr. Airy, N. C., Jan. 17th, 1887. Dear Watchman :—Y our ancient corres- pondent sends his old-time readers, one and all, his kindliest greetings from a land of delightful semi-montane scenery, of most hospitable and social people, of health invigorating purity of atmosphere and water—a land of ‘‘great expectations”’ and booms in the railroad and real-estate line, and a land which must ere long join hands with the lower counties of our State in the great advance-column of in- dustrial progress and improvement. I heard a gentleman remark this morn- ing, that he had found the climate supe- rior to that of California, (or any other place he had tried) for his pulmonary complaint, of many years standing. His cough, which had shown no signs of abatement, during the many changes of lo- cation he had made in the vain endeavor to,ameliorate and fortify his health imme- diately ceased on his arrival here. The water exhibits even now a pristine puri- ty; and I am informed that in summer its coolness and strengthening qualities are unexcelled. The town has a population of 1200 or 1500. It is handsomely situated, and considerable taste is displayed in build- ings and gronnds. Its growth is almost phenominal and fortified with a back country of unexhaustable resources, it is destined to become a city of no mean pro- portions. . Lively tobacco-sales began here last week; and I think will be apt to steadily continue. This is decidedly the best tobacco region in the western part of our State. On my way, I saw a field in Rockford, which was <aid to have never failed, no matter how unfavorable the season, to produce a good crop of the finest quality. |The past summer there was not so signal a failure in any of the serial products asin Rowan. All kinds of farm produce are astonishingly plenty —the supply from Virginia, by way of the wagon-train connecting twice a week this place with the narrow-guage railroad at Patrick court-house, being especially varied and copious. E. P.H, Fatality of Measles in New York. New York, Jan. 15.—There haye been more deaths from measles in this city du- ring the last week than ever before, for a corresponding period in the history of the city, The Bureau of Contageous Diseases of the Health Departmont reported to-day that since last Saturday 71 persons have died from that disease out of the 700 cases reported. There have 37 deaths from dip- theria. all causes reported for the week was 814. | | ~ Ltteliendtntactaaaticds-tneaackendpe eae caeepeet eae ete eenadpen eae ee T. K. BRUN@R- EDITOR, RALEIGH, N. C. The Progressive Placer Amalgamator. A short time. simce there appeared in the columns of this papera notice of the idleness.of the Sam Christian mine, in Montgomery county. The Southern Gold Mining and Manufacturing Co., of Patterson, N. J., who make and operate the above-named machine, think that injustice has been done them in that notice. Nothing of the sort was intended, and, as an evidence of that fact, the benefit of their denial is given to the public. , They say: ‘‘ The truth is that opera- tions have been suspended, not because the “‘process’’ failed, (it is not a process, but a machine) but because of failure of gold in the material.’’ They further state that suit has been brought against the owners of the mine for false repre- sentations and for damages and machin- ery. They claim that the tailings from the machine have been repeatedly tested, and no gold has been found. The “ flour” or “float” gold sent as a sample of what the machine will do in collecting such minute particles was emptied into a glass of water. More than half remained on the surface and was beaten down after some little effort, but a few particles remained on the sur- face during the whole examination. If the machine spoken of captures this kind of material it is worth looking, after by all placer or ‘‘free gold,”’ miners. TALC, Probably the largest known deposits of talc are to be found in the Western counties of North Carolina. The tale found there differs from most masses of this character by virtue of its peculiar freedom from impurities. Mr. A. G. Kinsey’s quarry, on the Notla river, about fiye miles from Mur- phy, in Cherokee county, is one of the most striking masses of talc in the State ; if anything, it exceeds the famous Nan- tahaleh river deposits. Mr. Kimsay has been putting this quarry in condition for rapid handling, and has in this way thrown on the dumps more than a thou- sand tons of tale. He has accomplished the feat also of reducing quarrying to the minimum cost. Think of 25 cents per ton! Besides tale, both iron and marble are found on this property, and in suffi- cient quantity to work. * There is a large area in Western Caro- lina where tale is encountered by the explorer; in fact, it may be found there in any desired quantity—enough to sup- ply the demands of the whole world for a number of years, IRON. A new find of magnetic iron ore is re- ported near Webster in Jackson county. It was found by a miner named Schre- iber, who has been exploring in that section of the State. The ore is said to form a bed covering a large area, and is claimed to be highly magnetic. PROGRESS, From all sides come favorable reports of progress in all branches of mining—for the precious metals; for copper ; for iron; for useful minerals—-mica, corundum, asbestos, chromic oxide; for gems—hid- denite, beryls, chryso-beryls, emeralds, garnets, &c. From the Charlotte assay office comes the cheering report that business with that office was brisk during December of the old year, that the deposits of golden bars were a third greater than for the saine month last year; that the business of the year just gone was nearly double that of the year previous. That is movy- ing! Activity in mining, both in practical work and in the transfer of real estate, is unusual for the season. It points to far greater results for our new year of ’87,. At an early day the results of the past year will be dealt with in a more statis- tical manner, and the forecast for this year can be made with more accuracy than the information at hand now will justify. All newspapers should warn forest owners in the South against selling for a song the best timber standing in their forests, and also against the wanton de- struction of timber in clearing lands. A gentleman who owns land in Watauga county sold $50 worth of wild cherry fell- ed five or six years ago and rolled into heaps on the side of the field. Think of what has been burned! DEEP RIVER COAL. The Deep River coal field, Chatham county, North Carolina, has long been known to be of great value and of such importance as to make one wonder why it has never been worked and the coal placed on the market in competition with coal brought into the State. The Depart- ment of Agriculture had this field explor- ed a short time ago by a competent man, and most probably as a result of that work, the district is now receiving the attention of some moneyed men from the State of Penn. The field has advantages which cannot be despised, especially in its location with reference to districts with which it must compete. It is con- venient to all eastern Carolina, and with- in easy reach of the Atlantic Ocean at Morehead and Wilmington and at Char- leston, S. C.; supplying the markets of the Carolinas, it has advantages over both Virginia and Tennessee, and these ad- vantages are so apparent that further refereuce is unnecessary, though figures could be given if required, to prove this position. The cost of mining is placed by the expert at $1.50 per ton, which is DEPARTMENT. [be 76 cents to $1.; Raleigh $160 to’ $1.30; Greensboro $1.47.to $1.77; Balisbury T5cts |: to $1.; Charlotte and Columbia, 8. .C. 80}- .*¥ 5 es ~ eee = cents to $1.07; Fayetteville; (N.C.) $2.24 to $2.54. “These figures are large enough to show that a very considerable reduction could be made in the price of coal and yet leave an ample profit for the operators.” As to the area, it is estimated at 2,160 acres. This may be reduced to say nearly one-half, as no allowance were made for trapdykes or thin spots in the area. This area is calculated to yield 6,000 tons to the acre, but a safer estimate would be 5,000 tons to the acre. This would make the avalable tonage more than six mill- ions. TO BE WOREED. At Egypt, in Chatham county, a Penn- sylvahia Co. has purchased a large area of this field and propose to begin operations there in the near future. They propose to begin by supplying local demands along the lines of road most convenient to them, and to gradually broaden the business. There are also parties contracting for the Ore Hill iron property near, for the purpose of erecting furnace. The indica- tions for that particular district -are brightening. When work is once begun there in earnest a large and permanent business will result. — -_——___ +e os It is reported that Mr. Traman Coleman has succeeded in selling the Morris Mt. property in Montgomery county. The consideration is said to have been $50,000. LEI TE ELE AE Ea eT, Washington Letter. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Jan. 18, 1887. The passage of the great Inter State Commerce bill, which is the result of a popular movement beginning twenty years ago, marks the past week in Con- gress. There was a good deal of im- portant legislation besides this, how- ever, such as that given the Agricult- ural Department Executive importance and its chief a seat in the Cabinet; that extirpating the hierarcy at Salt Lake City, and that doubling the militia appropriation for the year. This last act will, doubtless, be well received everywhere; for the time has come when it is acknowledged that the citizen soldiery of the land ought to receive more attention than has ever yet been shown them. It was expected that the Senate would settle the vexed question of Commerce by Railroad as it did, ubout the hour of midnight on Friday, but no one knew how many more Senators would be found supporting than oppos- ing the bill. It came triumphantly through by a vote of forty three to fifteen, although a number of Senators who voted for the measure were dissat- istied with it. These decided to set aside their own views and follow the dictates of their constituents, saying in this instance, where legislation is necessarily experimental, it is safe to give the people the benefit of the doubt. The Inter State Commerce bill was framed and pressed forward by men who were mostly honest in their effort to relieve the people, but there are a good many legislators who doubt its efficiency. Some say the railroads will put up their through freights instead of reducing their way freights, and thus insure the equality which the law de mands. Now that the Anti-Mormon bill has been passed by the House, one hears a good many comments which indicate an appreciation of the severity of the measure. It not only makes polgamy a felony, but dissolves the financial corporations known as the Latter Day Saints, and the Perpetual Kmigration Fund Company, and practically abolish- es all the machinery, religious or politi- cal, that is now employed directly or indi- rectly in the maintaimance of the Mor- man Church system. There are differ- ences of opinion as to the wisdom and Justice of the policy, but the fnends of the measure just passed assume that the malady is of such a terrible nature as to require hercic treatment. — Its opponents say it would be better to wait upon the slow attriticns of time and the pressure of public opinion to wear the evil out. The Republicans pledged themselves to eradicate polgamy in 1856, more than thirty years ago. They held power foi nearly a quarter of a century and as Mormonism still flourishes it 1s left for the Democrats to perform a duty which the Republicans neglected or else could not do. Of course every- body desires that the “twin relic of | barbarisin™ shall be destroyed, if it can | be done without straining the Consti- jtution. Hon. Randolph Tucker of Va., who reported the Anti-Mormon bill, held that there ‘vas nothing in it that could hurt the conscience even of a Mormon. If he thought there was, he said he would vote against it. Funeral of Dr. Wiley. The fuueral services of Rev. Calvin H. Wiley were conducted in the Centenary M. Bh. Church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. F. H, Johnson, D. D. pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place, assisted by Rev. Dr. Ronathaler, of the Moravian ehurch, Rev. Dr. L. 8. Burkhead of the M. E. Church and Rev. H. A. Brown of the Baptist church. The large church was crowded with peo ple and a goodly number occupied the galleries. Dr. Johnson's sermon was a model of its kind—plain, full of truth and camestucss and consolation for the afflicted family and friends of the distinguished Wiley. Accompanied by an immense rather more expensive than such mining | generally costs but is accounted for by the fact that the work must be done “below water level and on a moderately steep dip, the coal must be hoisted, the throng of attendants the remains were borne xway to the cemetery where they were committed to the dust amid touching scenes of griefand sympathy.

A scientific writer says: "Sleep if taken at the right moment, will pre- vent an attack of nervous headache. If the subject of such headaches will watch the symptoms of its coming, they can notice that it begins with a feeling of weariness or heaviness. This is the time a sleep, of an hour, or even two, as nature guides, will effectually prevent the headache. If not taken just then, it will be two late, for, after the attack is fairly uutider way, it is impossible to get sleep til far into the night, perhaps: It is so comthon in these days for doctors to forbid having their patients waked to take medicine, if they are asleep when the hour comes round, that the people have learned the lesson pretty well, and they gener- ally know that sleep is a wonderful preventative of disease—better than tonic regulators and stimulants.” Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

It has been a long time since demagogues have had such an opportunity to air their humbuggery. They think that a majority of the ignorant voters of the State favor electing magistrates and county commissioners, and these ‘fel- iows of the baser sort” are for meet- ‘ng the demand which they have mainly erested: To gain power they are willing to have 25 or 30 of the vargest tix paying counties in the State turned over to ignorance, vice and in- competency, to be mismanaged and plundered. One, Pinnix, in the House zave notice “that his side of the House was in haste to vote on county govern- ment.” The Senate must guard the counties that offer such good pillage ‘round.

The Science and art of Milking. When the teats are first touched, either by the milker or the calf, the first effort of the cow is to draw up the tendons tighter than ordinary, causing # contraction that gives to her bag a hardness that makes it seem as if caked, and the milker can at first only get the little milk which from being crowded, has oozed through the orifices into the teats. Presently, if all is quiet and peaceable, she gives a full relaxation of the structures which hold back her milk, and her teats are not only filled but crowded, and the con- tents of her udder are placed at the dis- posal of her calf or her milker. Tf due expedition is used in drawing the milk it can all be obtained. Unusually this effort at relaxation does not long con- tinue. Whether the milk is all drawn or not, cows soon tire of keeping up the relaxation and allow the cords to assume their natural contracted posi- tion, and thus shut off the flow; this makes it important to milk speed- iy. Tae liugering milker never . gets the whole of the mess. Neither does he who allows the process to be inter- rupted. Hence the milking should be continuous. Cows enjoy the sense of relief when a crowded udder is being emptied, and they will continue the re- faxation which opens the milk ducts as long as they feel that relief is tak- ing effect; but let the milker stop, and the relaxation will stop, and it can rarely be induced again before the time of another milking. Quiet and comfort are also essential to obtaining all the milk.—Gveen’s Fruit Grower. —~->o——___. Renews Her Youth. Mrs. Phabe Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co., Towa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town: “Iam 73 years-old, have been troubled with kidney complaint and Jameness for many years; could not dress myself wit! it help. Now Iam free from all pain and soreness, and am able to do allmy own house work. I owe my thanks to Electric Bitters for having re- newed my youth, and removed completely all disease and pain.” Try a bottle, only 50c. at Kluttz’s Drug Store. » Logan's and Blairs Widows. Senator Logan's dead body was hardly out of sight before the Federal Legisla- ture had given his widow a pension of 2000 per year during her life. And at once Senator Vest put a bill through the Senate to give Mr. Blair's widow a pension ef 2000. _ Why give these men’s widows pen- sions? What have they done more than other citizens, that their widows should be put on the pension rolls over and above other citizens’ widows? When will this damnable curse end? ee + as iS a DN lA a I There are to-day three huridréd thous- and ‘worthy widows m_ this country more needy* and dependent than the widow of either Logan or Blair. Why not penson. all widows? Mrs, Logan to-day is the absolute owner of more than forty thonsand dollars, drid does not need the pension granted, in the true seuse of the word need. The crea- tion of a civil pension roll is a very dangerous move. We regret to see it, but we are powerless to prevent it. The Denfocrats are as bad as the Re- publicans. As sodn as a big man dies, there is a race between Demoerats and Republicans to see who can first get the widdw on the pension rolls. Well the rich must be kept rich and the poor must be kept poor, and we know no bettet way to do it, than to tax the poor for the benefit of the rch. If Grover Cleveland had any manhood in him, we would veto both these bills as soon as they réached him. If they gave a pension to the widows of two poor hard tvorking farmers, he would swath them quicker than thought.—Scotland Neck Democrat: If no one else speaks out on this sub- ject, let it not be supposed no one else cares anything about 1t: ~—a A Gift for All.

The crop-destroying rabbits appears to be not the only animal plague of Australia. ‘The decay of the forests is traced by Rev. P. Macpherson, of the Royal Society of New South Wales, to the opossums. After much investiga- tion, 1t was ascertined that a single ani- mal would devour about 200 leaves of the Eucalyptus, or blue gum tree, in a night; providing that 18,000 opossums killed annually in one county of Victo- ria were sufficient to destroy upwards of 13,000 trees and lay bare a space of 700 acres, or more than a square mile. THE SALT ROCK OF LOUISIANA. The salt deposits of Petite Anse, is one of the most remarkable known. It is of pure crystal salt, covering 150 acres to an unknown depth, having been pen- etrated 140 feet. It is from one to six leet below sea-level, and the earth over it is from ten to 183 feet thick. On the salt, beneath the earth have been found remains of prehistoric animals, and Indian relics. Above the salt and the animal remains, and more recent deposition, are strata of coal and sand- stone. TH: GREEN EYED. In a_ paper on the color of eyes in France, Mons. Topinard has called at- tention to the extreme rarity of green- ish eyes in Europe, only six cases hav- ing been observed by Prof. Virchow in 6,000,000 Germans. With us a green eyed person must be fully as uncommon a sight. Yet Chinese annals record that green eyes abound in parts o: Asia, and Pallas notes that they are met with in Siberia. The simple process of slipping a tube into the larynx through the mouth is being substituted for the formidable surgical operation of tracheotomy in croup and diphtheria, end with good results. FILTERS. Most of the ordinary domestic filters —and especially those of spongy iron, carbon, stone, gravel and cellulose—are yronounced by: a German physician, Ir. Plagge, to be of little or no value for purifying water, as they do not re- move the living organisms or bacteria, and allow such gerins as those of ty- phus and cholera to pass without hin- derance. Clay and asbestos filters were found to have some effect in stopping infections matters, but were not long reliable. Hesse has recommended strongly compressed asbestos and espec- ially dense cells of clay as yielding wa- ter permanently germ free, but of these filtering materials Dr. Plagge is unable to speak from his own obsevation or experiment. A WOODEN-LEGGED ROMAN, Having fresh in mind the discovery that artificia! teeth were used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, one can hardly feel surprised at finding that ar- tificial limbs are no modern innovation. Historians have vaguely alluded to sub- stitutes for arms and legs in ante-Chris- tian days, but a specimen of such work is now actually in existance, and forms a unique relic in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon- don. It is an artificial leg dating from about 300 B.C., and was. unearthed with the cripple’s skeleton at Capua in 1885. It is made of pieces of thin bronze, the lower two-thirds having been nailed to a wooden core—now de- cayed—-and upper third being hollow. LABORATORY GEMS. Real diamonds have been produced artificially in Scotland, but were too smal] and expensive to be acom- mercial success. Paste imitations have been so perfected by French chemists that they serve the decorative purpose of the genuine stones, and can hardly be detected by the test of hardness. Artificial rubies and sapphires have the same composition as the natural miner- als and nearly equal hardness. An Austrian investigator, has hit up- on an ingenious process for silvering iron. The surface is first covered with mereury, the silver is deposited electro- lytically as in the ass ol ing of copper, and the mercnry is then evapo- rated by a heat of about 600 degrees. Amo the remarkable woods of South Africa is sneezewood (Petrory- lon utile,) which in durabilaty is said to surpass even Lignum rite, producing eS Thos J Sumner, per diem oe macliine © bearings and iron. al A Terrible Surecical Operation A FATAL MISTAKE. ° £ Tux Cleveland (Ohio) Press, of February 23d, 1883, pubs lished an account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among med. ical tiien throughout the whole country, Dr; Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs, King had been suffering for many years from some disease of the stom- ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians mm attendance, ‘The disease commenced with a slight de- rangement of the digestion, with & poor appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable dis- tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint “all gone” sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree- able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky— a cold perspiration, There was a constant tired and lan- guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with cloomy forebodings, | Finally the patient was unable to re- tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in tue abdomen. All prescribed rem.- edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order tosave the patient’s life an operation was justii- able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1883, the opera- tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board, The eperation consist- el in laying open the cavity ef the abdomen and exposing tie stomach and bowels. When iuis had been done en examin- stion of the organs was made, out tothe horror and dismay of the doctors there wes no eancer to be iound, = The pa- “ont did not nave a cancer. SVhen too late the medical men vuscovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they «aved the parts tecether and dressed the wound that they bed made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and dicd waa few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that is wife died from the effects ofa surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had teken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia seul Nervous) Prostration (for this was what the discase really was), she would have been liv- tag to-day, BUAKER EXTRACT OF 9018, Or SEIGHL'S CURATIVE syrvp, a remedy made ex- pres y for Dyspepsia or Indi- gestion, has restered many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of trentment have fected.

And yet of itself this phenomenal growth of Southern towns and cities is of no important significance; for it is not these which make the strength and granduer of a State. If elsewhere, | as here in this section, it is more nearly an evidence of weakness and decay; for almost every man who has left the country to come to town to live, has dimini hed the number of good farm- ers by that proportion. The greatest need of Rowan at this moment 1s more intelligent farmers with means to car- ry on farming with successful results. She has been reduced to a race of far mers who live hard from year to ie and whose gains, if any. are small and inconsiderable, and whose farming lands are growing poorer because they cannot institute and practice a more liberal system. The eee Department of Agriculture. Ral. News-Observer. The department of agriculture occu- pies a large share of public attention. That a sentiment adverse to the depart- ment pervades the state has long been recognized, and efforts made to counter- vail it have not been successful. In saying this we are not to be understood us casting a stone at the members of the board, for we desire emphatically to assert that the state will be looked over in vain to find more competent persons to fill their places on the board; or more zealous persons. We do not mean that there are not others competent, zeal- ous and efficient, but taking the board as it stands its personnel cannot well be improved. The governor. the presi- dent of the University, the master of the state grange and president of the N. C. agricultural society are designa- ted by law as members of the board. They cannot withdraw if they should wish todo so. As long asthe law stands they are members of the board. It so happens that each of these officers is eminently qualified for the post. Gov. Seales is a man of business. Mr. Battle is not only a man ef business, but has an experience asa farmer second to that of but few in the state; Mr. Wilhams is a farmer of intelligence and force of character, while Mr. Upchurch stands without qualification as a practical bu- siness man and farmer of whose success North Carolina may justly be preud. The other members of the board are farmers drawn from the different parts of the state beeause they were esteemed as the most fit to represent agriculture on the board. They have no other interests. Why, then, has the department be- | come unpopular? Because, first, the far-| mers, whe compose the majority of our legislator have imposed on the board duties that have no connection with ag- riculture, second, because the beneficial results of the work have been general | and not particular, and thirdly because | tye general depression of agriculture has e@Blved a spirit of unrest and dissatis- fattion, Farm products are low and agriculture is not prosperous, and there- fore the people are not content. And it isa question whether the department | of agriculture has done any good. | { ' lon the part of the United States. useful—it has served a good purpose; now then let the departinent of agri- culture be freed tk law from the law which has made it something else and let it be a department of agricul- ture in fact as in name. The most powerful telescopes now in use magnify 2,000 times.. As the moon is 240,000 miles from the earth, it is thus practically brought within 120 miles, at s-hich distance the snowy peaks of sever- al lunar mountains are distinetly visible. Lick’s 36 inch telescope, it is said will bring the moon within a much less distance. However, it is not yet in use. The lenses have been delivered at the Observatory, recently, and un- acked and found secure.

It cannot be treated by democrats in any two ways. The main- tenance of the present system 1s a car- dinal principle of the democratic party and those who oppose it must Le con- tent to stand outside of that party for there they belong. Tbe system is simply a return to the system of otr.fathers and has been proven by experience the best for all parts of the state. It must therefore be maintained in its uniformity. Its re- peal would result in serious injury to the east and that would mean injury also to the west and to the centre. No part of the state of course can suffer without suffering being entailed upon the whole commonwealth. A Icssen ing of the ability of the east or of any other one section wou'd render it ne- cessary for the other sections to make up the deficiency that would arise. The whole state therefore, from the Atlantic to the Alleghanies, is vitally interested in the maintenance of the existing sys- tem, and true democrats will stand hy that system toa man.—Jtaleigh News- Observer, Jan. 25th. —E> > The National Capital.

Shall | these other functions be lopped off?| The News and Observer is indifferent as | to whether they shall be separated from the bourd or not; but the results! of the geological surveys already made, | should be published. ‘The Governor can | very well have that attended to. | ‘lhe oyster survey ought to be contin-| ued and laws passed to promote oyster | culture. ‘The Governor can very well attend to that. The surveys for coal, minerals, etc., are finished ; only the surveys for phosphates remain incom- plete. Let the governor attend to that. The immigration bureau docs not | ident were. to Morrow, to take advantace of the pending Lill which would authorize him to close American ports against Cana dian fish prodiacts, it would end the trouble between the United States and Canada. Canada would cease her outrages. He charged the Canadians with outrages and intrumanities that would disgrace the Fee Jee islanders. He declared that the pur- pose of the proposed legislation was to in- form the British government that a contin- uance of the present course would be at her peril, He said he was almost assured that the present measure was looked upon favor: ably by the President and his cabinet, Mr. Frye declared that the British Gov- ernment knew that outrages had been com- mitted in violation of law as well as viola tion of good neighborhood, The Senator quoted from a recent statute passed hy the Dominion Government in further hostiity to American fishermen, and claimed that by its approval the British Government had blast- ed the hope that that government would do what was fair and just in the premises. The Committee on Foreign Relation sought simply that the President of the United States shoud be empowered to close all American ports agaiust any fisherman or all fishermen against any merchant vessel or all merchant vessels. Mr. Ingalls again took the floor and ask- ed Mr. Edinunds whether he wanted this bill to settle the trouble by negotiation or by fight. Mr. Edinunds said by neither, and went on to explain that under treaty President of the United States may, if our vessels are mistreated in Canadian parts, say that Can- adian fisherman shall amount to a great deal perha ds. Mr. fish and Canacian Patrick might well attend te that under not come into the waters of the U nited the direction of the Governor. By such a distribution of its present work, the board of agriculture would be freed from duties that are not germane to the organization to the department as one merely of agriculture. The legislature having done that, in order to bring the department home to each community in the State, let the board seek to promote advanced agri- culture, new methods, new ideas, by ob- on lessons in different parts of the state. t its entire energies be devoted to get- ting our agriculture on a better basis. Already much has been accomplished in that direction, but stnke off the shackles of the board and Jet it have a fair chance to promote the agricnitural interests of the State. We see no need for any change in \the personnel of the board. It cannot ; be improved on. ‘Free them from the ‘incumbrances that weigh them down; ‘give them money to work with; let them have an opportunity to do their | best for agriculture, and we hazard ‘nothing in saying that our people will feel the good effects.

It would simply bea question ot novinter- course between the United States and the Biitish provinces, and whe could stand it longest, and there was only one answer to that question, — Mr. Ingalls was not entirely satisfied with Mr. Edmunds’ explanation, and went on be- laboring England for having always been the ruffian and coward.

At Unity Manse, Jan. 13th, by Rev. R. te Mary E. Fleming. DIED. _At his home in Franklin Township, on the 21st of Jan. inst., Mr. George H. CHARLOTTE, N. C. Gheen, aged 80 years 8 months and 17 days. He wasa well known citizen of the occurs free and is remarkably clear of the usual enemies of perfect amalgation. The quantity is the question. In a moun- tain of slate with no well defined walls this becomes a matter of serious consider- ation. The writer has not been on the property since ’83, at which time it was being worked. His recollection in this particular will not justify his making a}, statement, but it may truthfully be said that the ore, or more properly speaking, the auriferous slate (there is some little quartz) is in sufficient abundance which only leaves the matter of grade to be de- termined. As to that there are: conflict- ing opinions, as is the rule where a pro- perty yields very rich specimens of free gold. The very finest specimens of aurif- erous slate ever seen by the writer were taken from Morris Mountain. A bit of ore the size of a man’s hand would show on its surface several pennyweights of free gold—bright and clean. This was perfect milling material, carrying just about enough grit to prevent the slate from packing on the Stamp heads. The fact that so much of the gold is found in these ‘‘seams” or cracks, has given rise to much speculation as to-how the gold got there. One theory is that it was deposited by percolation, the gold coming from a source above and beyond the mine. But this is too improbable to deserve mention. Another theory is that the gold was deposited by the forces— liquefaction and vaporization—resulting from high temperature of the inferior part of the earth’s crust. The appearance of the rock would seem to give this theory some foundation. At any rate, the gold is collected and held in these minute cracks, which may be described as fracturesacross the lamin of the coun- try rock, and which may have resulted from displacement or other disturDing sause. DAVIDSON COUNTY, At Thomasville preparations are being made which is intended to bea help to} providing better transportation facilities to and from the mines. A wooden fPail- road is being built from Thomasville to the Silver Valley mines, a distance of some 12 miles.

Now is the time for sowing tobaceo seed, and those of our farmers who ' contemplate raising this weed shonld be about this work, and not delay it until almost time for transplanting in the spring. _ In beginning the eulture | of tobacto all farmers not thoroughly skilled in its management are alwhys ready to learn all they can that will be fo their advantage. Capt. R. B. Davis of Hickory, who is a successful planter and a practical mau in every way, gives the following hints in re- eon to the preparation and care ot plant beds. To the planter an early and abun- dant su ae of tobacco plants is the thing of prime importance. To secure this the seed may be sown at any time between the 15th of December and the 15th of March, the earlier the better, and alloting 100 square yards of seed- bed to every 10,000 plants that will be needed. The ‘ground selected for the purpose should be virgin soul of sandy texture, rich and moist, with full ex- posure to the sun, but sheltered to the north and west by rising ground or growing timber, against the cold winds of early spring. Such spots can be readily fonnd in wooded hollows, at the foot of hills, and near to or along- side some water course. Other things being equal, the farther into the woods the spot selected is the better in order to escape the potato bug. Barniny the Plant Bed.—The ground having been well chosen, the next thing ts rake it cleanly, and then burn 1 thoroughly so as to kill all germs of vegetation. The burning ean be ata single blast, if done with. dry brush, heaped upon the entire bed a height of some four feet. A better but costlier method is to burn with wood laid upon green poles, which serves the pur- pose of ventilation, in ease the wood should be piled the whole Jength and of convenient width, say six x feet, and after the pile has been well kindled it should be allowed to burn some two hours, or until the poles underneath are burnt up. The burning wood and fire coals should now be moved by using old hoes fastened upon long handles. and again spread a convenient width and fresh wood added, whieh should barn until the ground underneath has been burnt as thoroughly as before, and so on until the entire bed has burnt over, So soon as the ground has cooled enough to walk upon it. and without removing the ashes, it should be broken deeply and_ finely with the mattock, care being taken not to invert the soil, and then chop- ped with weeding hoes and raked until clean of roots and well pulverized—-for which reason land should never be burnt when too wet. Sowing the Sced.—The bed is now ready for seeding. The variety of seed recommended is Orinoco. The quanti- ty sown should be ove and a_ half tablespoonful to every LOO square yards, | and in that exact proportion for each fraction of multiple thereof. Gireat | care should be taken to sow the seed as regularly as possible. so as to prevent | some spots from being too thin, and. | what is worse, other spots from being} too thick. To do so the seed should be | carefully measured and then thorough- | ly mixed in a convenient quantity of | dry ashes. and the mixture divided | into two equal parts. The bed should | he marked off mto convenient sowing | breadths by lines of four fect apart. | and sowed entirely over with one-half | the seed in one direction, and then | over aguin with the other half and in! the opposite direction, the sower re- tracing his steps. The seed should be | left upon the surface and neither hoed | or raked into the soil, but trodden in | with the foot, or pressed with the back of a weeding hoe, or better still, by! passing a light roller over the bed. To prevent drifting or puddling of the | seed by w ashing rains, where the| ground is rolling, trenches slightly | inclined and two inches deep and four feet apart should be made with the | mattock across the bed. Where the ground is flat and subject to being sob- | bed, it should be th oroughly drained. | as nothing draws more eusily than the | tobacco plant. | For the three-fold purpose of warm- th moisture and fertility, the bed should | now be top-dressed with a covering! half inch thick of good stable m: mure | broken fine, the fresher the better. | but in any case free of grass seed. | When such stable manure is not con-| venient, then from the hen house or} hog-pen will answer, hog hair also! naking an excellent top-dressine. [1 | neither of these at hand, some |) strongly ammonized fertilizer should |” be applied at the rate of half bushel of | it to every 100 square yards, and raked | into the soil before seeding. The hed | should be thickly covered with fine | brush to prevent both drying and freez- | ing of the soil, by w hich “the plants | are either checked in their crowth or lifted out by the roots. a a 1s | Commissioner’s Sale of Land. | By virtue of a decree of the Superior | Court for partition among the heirs at law of Samucl Linn, deceased, the under- signed, as commissioners of Court, will sell on the premises, on Wednesday the 9th day of February 1887 the following | described tract of land: About (107) one | hundred and seven acres, situate about | one mile from China Grove and known as | the Samuel Linn place.

The Baron and the Treasury Girl. | Th2_story going the rounds of the press about the pretty Boston girl who became the - wife of the late king of Portugal finds a paralell, though in a less degree, in the marriage of a | pretty government clerk of this city. says a About ten years ago the name of Camil- la Woodford was borne on the rolls of the treasury departmet as a clerk in the redemption division. At that time Miss Woodford was scarcely 18 years old. She was the younger member of of an old Southern family that had lost their fortune during the war, and was a gentlewoman- by birth and education. One day the Baron Von Havre, the Bel- gian minister, who was visiting the de- artment, chanced to enter the room where Miss Woodford sat. It was a case of love at first sight The baron inquired her name, and through the chief of the bureau requested an intro- duction. He ealled upon her several times, and at last proposed marriage. The lady then informed him that she Was already betrothed to a fellow-clerk in the department. He urged her to cancel the engagement, but ‘she declin- ed, althongh admiting had she met him first that her answer might have been different. Finding her obdurate the baron resolved to leave America hoping in the distractions of some Euro- pean court to forget the pretty Yankee girl who had refused his snit. He went St. Petersburg, but within 90 days, re- turned to Washington This time the lady smiled more graciously upon him, and sn the end consented to become the Baroness Von Havre. Shortly after their masriage, which, I again. am told, has proven a remarkably hap- py one, they removed to Brussels, where they still reside. What became of Miss Woodford’s former sweetheart I have never head, but he probably accepted the situation philosophically. as what poor government clerk would not pe 00.000 he had a rival ina young and Snceome nobteman with an ineome of & a year.

The North Carolina mass convention adjourned yesterday at two o'clock, to ' meet in Greensboro on the second Wed- 'nesday of January, 1888. | A constitution and by-laws were ‘adopted, and the first step has been |taken toward a useful organization of the farmers of the state, which lcoks ‘far into the future, the farmers of all the cotton states have been invited by resolution, to cg-cperate with the or- | ganization of North Carolina farmers and appoint meeting places for general ' conferences. | On Wednesday night, they passed a resolution asking the (General Assem- bly, to turn over to the farmers the | $125,000 of land scrip now in the hands | of th University, and bearing $7,000 ‘interest a year, to the waintainance of an agricultural and mechanical school, 'and on Thursday they received the re- | port of their committee on the state | departinent of agriculture, whieh looks | practically to the elimination of ‘all ‘that department except in paying a | secretary and the chemnst’s department. But the establishment of an industrial school combining agriculture and me- chanics, and the modifications. sought in the department of agriculture are subjects dependent upon legislative ac- tion. As acommittee to confer with the General Assembly on the establishment ‘of an industrial school, jointly with the | board of agriculture committee appoint- 'ed on the 18th inst., there were chosen ithe following gentlemen: James T Le- | Grand, of Richmond; Julian Allen, of \fredell; Wo Green, of Franklin; Her- bert Norris, of Wake; D MeN McKay, ‘of Harnett, Dr D R Parker, of Ran- 'dolph, and G Z French, of Pender. As a committee to request the legis- lature to modify the organization of | the department of agriculture, the con- | vention appointed P A Dunn, of Wake; 'Dr DR Parker, of Randolph; J C El- |lington, of Johnson; GZ French, of | Pender; L L Polk, of Forsyth; A D | Jones, of Wake; B F Hester, of Gran- iville, and Elias Carr, of Edgecombe. |The last named committee will also | present to the general assembly all oth- ler resolutions asking legislation, some lof which are as follows: ‘To establish | the office of tax collector in the several i counties of the state and separate this work from the sheriff's proper duties; | that the board of agriculture be allowed | to appoint an immigration agent from heach Congressional district who is to | have authority to act but no pay | i | | | | for services from the state; to reduce the large income to clerks and regis- | trars in certain counties: to levy a tax fof SL on every dog for the public | school fund; to reduce warehouse charg- Fes on tobacco by law to five per cent, ithe charges now being ten; to provide ithe working of the puble roads by | conviets and to prohibit convicts being used on the railroads as at present; to | request our Congressmen to support /Senator Hawley’s experiment station | bill so as to avoid Federal management | of such stations in the states; to make Ino change in the homestead law | now, bat the repeal of the entire chat- Itel uw to go into effect Janaary 1, }1SSS; to further guard the trafhe in seed cetton: to take steps to keep the cattle pneumonia, now raging in states adjacent, out of our boudaries; to pro- vide for the establishment of savings banks on such basis that they may loan money on real estate; to provide for the support of an agricultural and me- chanical school by using funds. of the agriculturaldepartment, the Universi- ty landscrip, annual appropriations and convicts. The oficial proceedings of th» con- vention were ordered to be printed in the Progressive Farmer. Col. Polk, in speaking of the funds available for the proposed school, eall- ed attention to the fact that in Decem- ber the board of agriculture offered $15,000 a year for such school; before the convention would cease its effort he thought they would get $25,000 in- stead of 815,000, At the conclusion of the convention he received a vote of thanks from the convention in which appreciation was expressed at his suc- ceasful work in organizing the farmers. Mr. J. H. Ennis, editor of the N.C. Farmer, was elected an honorary mem- ber. Mayor Dodd came before the convention and made an exceeding neat speech of welcome. He conveyed a message from the aidermen of the city releasing the convention from the payment of the rent of the city hall. The convention chose the name of the North Carolina Farmers’ Associa- tion. It will hold its annual session im Raleigh each year when the Ceneral Asseinbly meets.

C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1887. — Important to Grape Growers. The United States Depaitment of Agriculture has issued a report on the Fungus Diseases of the grape vine, by F. Lamson Scribner, B. Sc., from which we make the following extract in regard to the black rot, which of late years has been very destructive to the grape crop in parts of this and adjoin- ing counties. Those who cultivate the vine should preserve this article for future reference, or else treasure up the important facts, for use hereafter. This work contains other valuable agticles which may be given hereafter. THE BLACK-ROT.— DISTRIBUTION, VARIE- TIES ATTACKED, ETC. Two hundred and twenty-nine per sons the presence of black-rot. - The terntory over which Phoma uri- cola is reported includes the chief vine- growing regions of the United States, and coincides with the mildew district, save that no rot is reported west of the Rocky Mountains, except doubtfully in one instance, and but very little north of latitude 43deg. In some dis- tricts this fungus has been under obser- vation for more than twenty years, and in many, during the last decade, it has done serious and increasing injury. It ae rotton berry is, or may become a center of infection. Consequently, the chances that the rot will sp decrease in proportion to the thoreughness with which this infectious material is remov- ed and destroyed. The berries should be picked off every day until the rot disap- pears, and should in all eases be burn- ed or buried. Where this treatment has been systematically followed, for even asingle year, great benefit has'| been experienced the year following. T'o be most effectual the picki shout be practiced every year the time the rot begins until it ceases, and should be so thorough that no diseased grapes are left either upon the vines or on the ground. The labor ef removal, at first onerous, will become less and’ less each year. To render.the work most effective there should be concerted action among all the grapegrowers of a district. ‘ The second method, the: protection of the fruit from moisture, is based on the well-known fact that the spores of Phoma will not germinate if kept dry, and on the oft-recorded observation that the rot almost entirely disappears in times of drought. ~ In many parts of Southern Michigan the summer and autumn of 1886 were characterized by a protracted drought, not a drop of rain falling for six or eight weeks. During this dry weather the rot disap- peared almost entirely. I made several usually attracts attention about the | examinations in September, in_ three time the grapes are beginning to co-or, or a little earlier, and in very warm, wet seasons may, within a week or ten days, destroy the whole product of a vineyard. pora viticola, its growth is said to be greatly favored by warm and wet weather, and entirely stopped by a pro- tracted drought. The Concord, Ca- tawba, Isabella, Hartford Prolific, and Rogers-hybrid varieties, seem — most subject to this rot, and the Delaware and other light colored or white vanie- ties least; but no variety is entirely free from its attacks, unless it be the Scuppernong, which is said to be harmed by nothing. Many persons report all varieties equally subject. Often those reported “iron-clad” and “ rot-proof” in one locality are said to be very badly affected in some other. STATEMENTS OF CORRESPONDENTS AS TOU PREVALENCE AND DESTRUCTIVENESS. Judging from the reports received, the loss occasioned by this rot is far more serious than that attributable to the mildews. Many report the loss of nearly their entire grape crop for a series of years, and state they have dug up their vineyards, or will soon do so, if a remedy cannot be found. — The following are characteristic quotations from letters received from badly-striel.- en localities: “Renders the cultivation of Labrusca and J#stivalis varieties unprofitable. (G. W. Davis, Jacksonville Fla.) “All hybrids are much subject to its attacks, and almost worthless in conse- quence. (David Milen, Macon, Gra.) “For the last five years I have not had an average of 200 pounds per avre, and on many vines not a grape has matured. (W. W. Patch, Galesburg. Ill.) “Grape culture was formerly very profitable in this county, but, owing to the ravages of the black rot, it is now almost wholly abandoned. (Theodore (roodrich, Cobden, Hl.) ~The rot comes suddenly. and quits as suddenly. About one-half of mine rotted in one week. (BP, A. Hickman, Mt. Sterling. ill. f “The rot is worse in wet seasons. Sometimes the entire crop fails on ac- count of it. (G. W. Mosteller, Craw- ford county, Kansas. ) “The black-rot appeared gradually, and continued until the crop was ut- terly worthless. [dug up one vine- yard, (I. Wallace, Cambridge, Md. ) “Many acres were formerly planted, but now, on account of the rot, few vines are grown. In this county many thousands of dollars have been lost by the rot. (John J. Maxwell, Kast New Market, Md.)” [ These are only 8 out of 884 similar reports. | ESTIMATED LOSS. In my opinion, which is based upon the above-mentioned special reports (384,) and on other available and trustworthy information, the annual loss from grape-rot during the last ten years in the principal vine-growing regions of the Unit@d States fas not been less than one-fourth of the entire crop. REMEDIES. « Many remedies have been proposed for grape-rot, hut none appears to be effective. © Perhaps no substance will ever be discovered which can be depended 4 upon to destroy the growing Phoma and arrest the rot without at the same time injuring the vines themselves. PREVENTIVES. By way of prevention, which is real- ly more important than cure, two methods seem worthy of extended tral. These are: 1. Prompt removal and burning of all diseased grapes. 2. Protection of the grape clusters from rain and dea. The first method has been tried with uniform success in Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina, ‘Tennessee, Mississippi, and other states. This method is based upon sound principles. The grape-rot is an infectious disease, propogated by diseased bernes. Eyery As in the case of Peronos- | | different counties, but failed to find a trace of rot even in vineyards where it was very previlent in 1885. | There are two ways of keeping the grapes dry: (a) By covering the individual clus- ters with paper bags. (b) By roofing the trellises with wide boards or with cotton cloth. Bagging is almost uniformly suc- cessful if done carefully, and early in the growing season, /. e., soon atter the grapes have set and before the spores of the Phoma have lodged thereon. Mr. J.C. Hodges, of Morristown, Teun., writes: . “For twelve years my experience has | seemed to demonstrate that dampness ‘on the surface of the fruit and rapid growth of foliage are the canses of the disease. Shelter of any kind over the vine prevents it every time. Small paper sacks over the bunches save them perfectly. The remedy [ have used most, with almost uniform success, is leaf pruning. — I allow the canes to grow full length, but in June I cut away the older leaves and suckers from near the fruit, so as to allow free cir- culation of air, and so that the sun may shine on the fruit. Except on tinued, cloudy spell, this saves the fruit. Nothing but shelter or sacking the bunches will save it on rich land.

The examination of George Hazard, a burly colored man, in Greenfield, a suburb of Detroit, on Monday attrac- ted a large crowd. The prisoner was’ charged with having on the night of January 11 broke into the Catholic school of St. Alphonsus, in Greenfield, ' and assaulted Sister Mary Hoefler, | twenty years old. He escaped imme-! diate capture. The sister was unable’ to appear against the negro, having’ been severely injured by jumping from | a window, and he was taken to the con- | vent by the officers for identification, ( and thence back to the court-room. | When Hazard’s identity was clearly es- tablished as the gualty man, there were murmurings among the crowd. He- was held to the Circuit Court for trial, and while Assistant Prosecutor Minock was making out comnntment papers, some one in the crowd threw a. slip- noose tna fifty foot rope about the | privoner’s neck. A score of hands in-! stantly pulled him twenty feet before he could utter a cry. His eyes bulged, his tongue protruded, and he was fairly white from fright. He thonght his last hour had come, and the justice and prosecutor thought the same. There | was great excitement among the spec- | tators, and only the prompt action of the officials saved the prisoner from | immediate lynching. After a struggle the rope about his neck was cut, and | he was secured in the justice's office ' until it was safe to fetch him here to jail. -—--2 «@-e- Impure Ice as a Cause of Disease. attack fruit or vine when the vine is trained along the wall or under the eaves of a building.

Alexander W. Pearson, of Vine- land, N. J., who has had large experi- ence, also says, “It gives almost com- | plete protection.” | If practicable, both methods may be combined. With many viticulturists if may be an open question whether the profits of grape-raising will warrant the cost attending the application of — these preventive measures. — It is hoped, however, that they will be given care- fal trial, and that grape-growers will report results to this Section. PER CENT. OF CROP ANNUALLY DESTROY- ED BY ROT AND MILDEW. In some instances observers have not clearly distinguished the loss due to the mildews from that due to the rot. The fact that they generally occur together renders this the more ditticult. In a good many localities, in the years when the mildew prevails, the loss 1s chiefly from the rot; but the rot also appears to prevail where Peronospora citicolt is unknown or Infreq vent. For the United States east of the Rocky Mountains the entire loss from nildews and black-rot cannot on an average, be much less than 40 per ce:it. annually. This is lower than Mr. Pearson's estimate, and lower than I would be warranted in placing it. if I the reports received. — ee Relics of the Cluverius Hanging. A peice of the silk rope that was used in the execution of Cluverius, at Richmond, on the 14th inst.,and a ticket of admission to the Richmond jail, were to be seen in the cigar case at the Central Hotel yesterday. Mr. Conrad Lipscomb found these relics of the celebrated tragedy in the possession of Mr. M. P. Courtney of Richmond, who was in the city yesterday, and the idea of Placing them in the show case occurred as one likely to be of interest to the curious, and it was done. At a elance the little bundle of bright color- ed silk would be taken for samples of yarn for faney work. The section of rope from which it was taken was about six inches in length, and the silk has no appearance of ever having been twisted into a hangman’s rope. Four colors are represented —white, old being rich and deep, and as clean _as if the had never beer handled. — Beside }of ice from those sources, but has also prepared a report on the general ques- based my judgment exclusively upon | gold, purple and maroon, all of them: The State Board of Health, having been asked by the Board of Health of | Syracuse to examine into the purity of ice taken from Onondaga re from the Erie Canal at Syracuse, and from | Cazinovia Lake has not only made a’ careful investigation into the quality } tion of the pathogenetic powers of con- taminated ice. The Board comes to these conclusions: Ice formed in im- pure water has caused sickness; if may contain from eight to ten per cent of | the organie matter dissolved in_ the | water, and in addition a very large | amount of the organic matter that had | been merely suspended or floating in| it; it may contain living animals and plants, ranging in size from visible | worms down to the muinutest spores, ! and the vitality of these organisms may j >be unaffected by freezing. | . eo ___——u>- 04> <a --—- A Younz Girl!

Keep Ahead. One of the great secrets of success in life is to keep ahead in all ways possible. If you once fall behind, it may be ver difficult ‘to make up the headway mhich is lost. One who begins with putting aside some part of his earnings, how- ever sinail, and keeps it up for a num- ber of years, is likely to become rich be- fore he dies. One who inherits proper- ty. and goes on year by year, fending a little more than his income, will b.- come poor if he lives longenough. Liv- ing beyond their means has brought multitudes of persons to ruin in our generation. It is the cause of nine- tenths of the defaleations that have disgraced the age. Bankers and busi- men do not often help themselvs to other people's mo:ey until ther own fund begins to fall off, and their expen- ditures exceed their receipts.

Of course this means a great interference to regular business and must result in the loss of many hundred thovsands of dollars to those immediately concerned, first; and sec- ondly to the public at large. It wastes property almost like a war, and spreads its damaying effects in all directions, far and near. Meanwhile damaged Rees are instituting suits in the U. . Circuit Courts against leaders of the strike, charging conspiracy to injure their business. ooo A few days ago a trunk was shipped to Adams Express office Baltimore, which, shortly ufter its'arrival gave out @ disgusting odor. On being opened it was found to contain the headless body of a dismembered man. The New York World professes to have obtained the facts in the horrible case, and says the mutilated remains were those of August Bolle, and that he was killed at 22 Ridge Street, in that city, by Edward Unger. his partner in the sau: - age business.

The accident occurred ata high doubledlecker trestle, which, (we are told.) hal been burning an hour before the arrival of the .train, and of which no notice reached the ap- proaching tr.tin until it was too late to prevent the frightful loss of engine and men, and 24 box curs, all precipitated in one mass of wreck and destruction. The erratical ex-Governor Brogden has been creating a mirthful sensation in the lower House of the General Assembly, in which body he misrepre- sents the county of Wayne. Nowisa time for him to gather interest- ing excerps from the newspapers of the State on his late speech in the House to fill out his scrap book. In this rela- tion it is not out of place to refer hina to the Wilmington Star, of the 30th, for one of the best tributes we have seen. But it was our purpose at this time to present the following report of pro- ceedings in the House at the time the ex-Governor made his great speech. It is good reading for those who know a img when they see it. rare Brogden ead a long speech, taking —— the county govern- ment law ahd declaring that it violated every article of the Constitution.

An act incorporating an Insur- ance Co. of Wilmington; incorpora- ting the town of Murphy. S. B. 5, H. B. 262, to regulate the chal- lenge of jurors in capital cases was taken up. Mr. Overman explained the object of the bill and thought it should pass. Mr. Lindsey opposed the bill and said that the trial of capital cases was too slow, that lynch law was becoming too common and that there were not enough criminal hung in this state. If this bill provided for hanging more men he would support it. - Mr. Wells favored the bill and would favor any measure looking to doing away with these ‘professional jurors.” Mr. Parsons thought the object of every challenge should be to give to every man a fair trial, and the law now gives that to every defendant, and therefore opposed the bill. Messrs. Doughton, Turner and Lyon spoke in opposition to the bill. Messrs. Ewart,eSutton and Overman spoke in favor of the bill. The amendment of Mr. Crawford, of Haywood, giving the state the same grounds for challenge as defendants, was adopted, and the bill passed second and third readings—yeas 47, nays 34. A resolution appointing a committee to inquire into the expenditure of money and work done on the Governor’s Man- sion was adopted. The chair appointed Messrs.

A resolution was introduced to grant no more convicts to railways unless they are paid for in cash, Among the bills introduced the only im- portant ones were the following: To pre- vent the sale of lottery-tickets in North Carolina; to incorporate a new county to be called Badger; to incorporate the Central and Northwestern rail wavs. The House took up the bill to repeal sec- tion 1,966 of the code in regard to freight discrimination, Tt caused a lively debate. Mr. Overman insisted that his section should be substituted for it, Mr. Pearson settled the matter by a motion that at ene and the same time the House repeal the section in question and adopt Mr. Over- man’s Dill. This was finally done by a overwhelming vote, and gave great pleas- ure to both sides of the House. This is one of the most important acts of the House. The following is the full text of the bill as THE BILL. The general Assembly of North Carolina do provisions are inserted in lieu thereof : Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any rail road operating for the transportation of any freight of any description of the same class over its roads to charge a greater amount of toil or compensation for a short distance than for a longer distance in the same direction over its road; and any railroad company violatig this such violation to the party injured. Nothing in this act shall be taken in any manner’as a- bridging the right of any railroad company of making special contracts with shippers of large tity than one car load. Section 2. Nothing in this act shall be con- strued to mean that said railroads may charge as much for a shorter distance as for a longer distance, the shorter being included in the long- portionate pro ratio per mile; but this shall not be construed to mean that more shall be charg- ed for equal quantities in the car-load tor a shorter distance than for a longer distance. Section 3. Nor shall said railroads make any unjust discrimination in the rates of charges fur toll or compensation for transportation of pas- sengers or freight of any discreption. Section 4. That this act shall not affect suits now pending in courts instituted prior to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Hines and Battle*agaivst the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company. Section 5. This act shall be in force from and after its ratification. COUNTY GOVERNMENT. This matter disposed of, the House took up the Bill to repeal the county yovern- ment law, the debate on which began Tues- day. Shaw (Democrat) made a set speech in opposition to the bill, and was replied to by Williamson (colored Republican) who defended the cejored race against the charge of their incapacity and untrustwor- thyness, From hisstandpoint Williamson's speech was a good one, Ewart (Republican) said that he under- stood that the real icason why the Demo- crats opposed this bill was that they knew or feared that it would take ffom them the voring the county government system? Ex-Goy. Brogden said he-declined to speak of “past issues, whereat the House, fairly roared. He said he was not here to defend his past record and then sat control-of the State.

W 4 If any one would understand some- thing of the absurdities, abuses, irregu- larities of the present monstrous War Tariff he should examine some of the articles taxed. It will be seen that the luxuries are favored and the necessaries are burdened. The Tariff is really so constructed as to favor the rich and rob the poor. For instance, as to luxuries: “Otto of roses, free; Neroli, or orange flower oil, Free; Diamonds, 10 per cent.; raw silk, free; jewelery, 25 per cent., gold studs, 25 per cent.; finest still wines, in bottles, 25 per cent.; finest thread lace, 30 per cent.; fine Ambusson and Axminster carpets, costing about $2.77 per yard, 46 per cent.; fine India shawls, costing abroad say $20 a pound weight, 35 cents a 40 per cent. ad valorem, or say 40} per cent.; silk stockings, 50 per cent.; finest broadcloth, costing $5 a pound abroad, 35 cents a pound and 40 per cent., equal to about 41 per cent.; olives, green or pre- pared, free; spices of all kinds free.” That will do. Now please contrast with the tax on necessaries as follows : “Castor oil, 180 per cent.; linseed oil, 62 per cent.; common window, 87 per cent.; raw wool, 45 per cent.; steel rails, 85. per cent.; horseshoe nails, 116 per cent.; cheap- est mixed woolen goods, costing abroad 24 cents per yard, 77 per cent.; spool thread, 51 per cent.; common druggets costing abroad 26 cents a yard, 36 per cent.; com- mon woolen shawls, costing abroad 68 cents a pound, 86 per cent.; common wors- ted stockings, costing 26 cents a pound abroad,.73 per cent.; common cloth, cost- ing abroad 65 centsa pound, duty 35 cents a pound and 35 per cent. ad valorem, equal to 89 per cent.; galvanized wire smaller than No. 16 and not smaller than 26 wire guage, 132 per cent.; smaller than No. 26, 155 per cent.; duty on a dollars worth of bleached cotton fabric, costing abroad 53 cents a square yard, 663 cents; potatoes 15 cents duty per bushel; corn starch, 853 per cent. duty; salt, 85 per cent. duty. Now it is this unfair, unequal, un- just, iniquitous “robber "Tariff that the Democrats have been so long fighting against. To readjust, rearrange and reduce this wicked, thieving abomina- ble War thing is just what the tax re- formers have been aiming at throggh the years—ever since Mr. Tilden’s platform so vigorously assailed it and exposed it in 1876. It is not a question of Free Trade. Men who say so know they are misrep- resenting. ‘They only dodge and equiv- ocate to avoid the exposure of their own wicked oppressions. It is a simple question of tax reduc- tion. It is a question of changing. cutting down a most ruinous, uncon- stitutional Tariff, that averages 44 per cent. on a schedule comprising probably four thousand articles. What is given above is only a sam- ple, or as Mr. J. 5. Moore, the political | economist, says, ‘ta drop in the bucket.” | Mr. Moore furnishes the above figures taken from the Tariff. Remember that Randall opposes the changes that greatly lighten the tax on necessaries. —Wil. Star. _ SS Washington Letter. (From our Regular Correspondent.) i Washington, Jan. 31, 1887. The toilers on Capitol Hill) confronted various questions during the past week, some of which were important, while others | were not so. Among them were the fisher ies trouble with Canada; woman sufferage; pensions; the bill establishing Agricultural Experiment Stations; the bill preventing members of Congress from acting as attor-| } neys for corporations with which Conzress | I hasim portant dealings; the Pleuro-Pneumo- l nia bill; the several of the other appropriation bills.

The Mormons are ajready disfranchised, male and female. The Pres- ident received the ladies graciously, and spoke a few words to each as she was in- troduced to him. Several of them made short arguments in favor of the rights of Utah women to what they had becn allowed to exercise for fifteen years—-the fran- chise——and urged the President to veto the bill if it passes as it now reads. Mr. Cleveland listened attentively, promised to give the matter careful attention, and said he had supposed the women of Utah did not care'to vote and did not vote when they had achance.

Until a few days ago this well-known citizen of South River section, was among us in his usual good health and spirits. His business relations brought him to town several days in eaeh week, so that he was becoming identified as almost a citizen of the place. It was a surprise and grief to many of his acquaintances, Tuesday morning last, when the news of his death was first announced. Few men had a better promise of long Fite than Mr. Bost.

The place has been the home of other clever people since the ex- tinction of the Giles, but it has never looked so charming as when “old Jack” walked the yard with his long stem pipe, and Misses Bettie and Susan Giles presi- ded inthe residence, assisted by their amiable niece, Miss Ellen Fulton. They are all gone, and the time has fully eome fora new cast of the kaleidoscope, and Mr. Johuston is making it.

Carolina Watchman:—What has become of our friend L. W. with his shorts from Heilig’s Mills? or has he gone to Heilig Bro’s Mill, where he gets all flour? If not we would advise him to take only one grist there and have the pud- ding proved. Yes, the Heilig Bro’s have had their mills repaired, and have secured the services of the practical, ever aceommo- dating Wesley Propst as miller; and you bet when you take wheat there you eet good flour. This has been a hard winter on farmers, so much cold rough weather that there could be but litthke work done on the ; farm, and from close observation we find that little 1s generally left undone. Now, while there seems to be nothing to do on so many farms, is just the time to get all things ready for the active sprinz eamn- paign. Wesee so many of our farmers in the spring behind with their work when we are satisfied that much of this work could have been done at odd spells during winter.

TRANSYLVANIA IRON, Transylvania is one of those mountain counties which depends almost exclusive- ly on railroad invasion for its develop- ment, At present it is about 20 miles to the nearest depot from Brevard, the coun- ty town. The prospect of 2 railroad has stirred the people into some activity. The pro- proposed Atlanta, Asheville and Baltimore railroad will bisect the county in a line conformable with the trend of the moun- tain ranges bordering it. The Georgia Legislature has granted a charter to the company, and the Legislature of this State will do the same thing in a few days. The contemplated route will touch the counties of Macon, Jackson, Trapsyl- vania, Buncombe, Madison, Yancy, Miteh- ell, Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany. It is a grand scheme; one that will require money and energy. But let us get back to the minerals, Before the war and during part of the time there sinall furnace in operation in this county. It Was known as the of hostilities Was a DAVIDSON RIVER IRON WORKS. The product was limited to a neighbor- hood trade. The ore used at this fur- nace came from what was considered as an unfailing source, and was considered by the natives as superior in every res- pect to other iron. One of these went so far as to assert that a tire fora wagon Wheel of this iron would last as long as three made Swedish iron. This must be taken with grains of allowance, from yet there seems to be no doubters to the tensile strength and maleability of this iron, This, and other valuable deposits of mineral will be placed in reach of the great marts of the world by this proposed scheme. MACHINERY, From all parts of the State come re- ports of the arrival of the mining machin- ery, destined to the various mining dis- tricts. Probably not less than $100,000 worth has arrived this month.

Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess- ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark.

They assail the springs of its power and pros- perity. They wreck manhood’s strength and woun's useful- ness and beauty. Every one should know the causes. Whatarethey? The answer is easy and terribly pian: Our vicious personal abits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in- tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pov- erty; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour's pleasure or success.

The fact of the existence of pluero- pneumonia in Maryland has inspired unjustly a prejudice against Maryland cattle, as shown by the quarantine regulations adopted in States west of the Ohio, and by the decline of sales from our fine herds to private buyers. While it could easily be demonstrated that our cattle, in by far the greatest number of counties, are entirely out- side the sphere of contagion and are as healthy as are to be found anywhere they unfortunately share in the gener- al prejudice caused by the local scourge. — i> D> aa ——= Making the Farm Pay. How to make a farm pay is the great conundrum which . every Jand-holder often asks himsel ,and not intrequently, in despair, he gives it up. and, says ten fails to produce good crops, not be- cause the laborers have been awkward in their work of plowing and cultivating the crop, but because they did not know and fully understand the relation of the soil to the crop. Continued hard daily labor, without an educated judgment that practical writer, Joseph Allen, of-| digestion being impeded or des- troyed, the whole body, nerves included, is Uterally starved ; even when there is no emaci- ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings:—headache if the morning; a persistent Sull heaviness or aching at the base of the Lrain; wakefulness ; loss of appetite and disgust with food ; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx- icty without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness ; palpitation of the heart; sal- lone of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban- donment of the habits and cus- toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shuker Extract of Roots (Seigel’s Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. This great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb- anon, N, Y., is especially adapt- ed to eradicate Nemous Dys- pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power- fully upon the disordered stom- directing and applying correct princi- ples, may make fair crops, but it will not make the land produce all that it is capable of yielding. One fault with the farmers is, when any crop or a spec- ial kind of steck is paying a larger per cent of profit than any other stock ¢r grain they immediately turn their at- tention almost exclusively to that spec- ial product or stock, until the supply exceeds the demand, «and, as a conse- queuce, prices decline below cost of pro- duction. Farmers should notice the signs of these changes and revolutions in prices of the different commodities. They then could to some extent avoid all the extremesg When any kind of grain or stock pays an extremely high per cent. of protit, they should not give all their attention to that special object; and, on the other hand, when any urticle is selling at or below cost of production, they should not discontinue its cultiva- tion or production altogether, but they should avoid all the extremes, and they will find that in the final outcome they There is no one special system of farming, either til the purchase money is paid.

L. R. Warton, | scandalizing Christianity, &e. We wish Hard Times--The Cause and the Cure. | The subject is exceedingly attractive and holds material ewe to admit of bemg worked wp into a most pro- foundly philosophical article—an arti- cle suited for 1 ponderous review; yet ‘not philosophy, but plain, practieal, common-sense we shalt hope to make ithe busis and the staple of this discus- sion. | A few weeks since our neighbor of ithe Star suggested that more banking capital is needed in order to relieve the | financial ure upon us. We think our neighbor's position is not mistated | though the statement is made second- ‘handed, the article referred to having lexcaped our notice. Now that there is | a pressure we know, whether banking | capital is the desideratum, we do not | certainly know, though it is fairly pre- ‘suamble it weuld in greater or less measure, improve matters by increas- ing the circulation of money—-prime consideration of which more wl be | said presently. The Wadesboro Intelligencer, demur- Al t e n to say: | “More banking capital is not needed by the farmers, ‘‘who are the basis of all genuine prosperity,” but more hard, sys- | tematic work is the thing needed. They | loaf too much, hunt too much and are too extravagant when they get held ofa | little money. No man can thrive in any | business who works one-half of his time in a “slip shod” way and the other half all, but sits at home idly around the fire, if it is winter, dozes under the shade if it is summer, or goes to town when he has no business, and there spends enough for drinks ina single afternoon to feed his family a whole week. What the farmers need is not more banking capital, but to use their muscles intelligently and to live more frugally. That’s the remedy. There would be no hard times if such a course were pursued. We like the way that is set down at least, there is no beating about the bush in it; it is frank, out spoken, d+ rect. If the facts are as stated, the premises are faultless and the conelu- sion irresistible. Idleness and waste fulness will inevitably produce hard times to those who indulge in them, und measurably to a community at | large, just as industry and thrift will | go far to relieve this state of affairs. We now bring in the vpinion of a! correspondent who expresses himself | thus: “Failure to pay debts is the cause of the hard times, and it is due, not, in nine eases out ten, to inability, but to- a want of common honesty.” Our! correspondent goes on to say that this. indisposition to pay honest debts has | yot into the Church and even into high | places of the Church, and that it 1s we could say that our correspondent 1; totally iistaken. We wish we could say there is no need to eall attention to the grievousness of this sin. But the very truth is that others, who like our friend are in a position to know, tell us there is a sad lowering of public sentiment in this direction. In plain words thatit is now regarded as disrepu- table to withhold what is due, or even to keep back by positive fraud, as for- merly it was. And our laws, undoubt- | edly, have been so framed in many in- stances that they protect those who are | disposed to do wrong. Still our corres-' pondent, we are persuaded, goes too far In saying that “in nine cases out of ten failure to pny is due to lack of common honesty.” The proportion cannot be nearly so great as thit. The very large proportion of debtors —of intelligence or social standing certainly —do not deliberately purpose to defraud. Practically, however, the result in pro- ducing hard times is the s:me whether payment is withheld because people cannot pay or beeause they will not pay. And “sin lieth at the door” when people, being able, neglect to pay even though they are simply good naturedly neghvent. Our friend wishes that preachers would discuss the sin of un- truthfulness and dishonesty, believing such discussion 1s one of the needs of the times. But whatever we may, or may not think, of the pevalence of dishonesty, one thing we take to be certain that the hard times are due to the holding back of money that ought to be in cir- culation. And a good part of this with- hold is due to the everlasting croaking about hard times. Persons who would buy needful articles—this is not breach of economy—decline to do so froma vague fear of futuge trouble, and per- sons Who mght pay what they owe, justify themselves in holding back for the same reason. An actual occurrence will illustrate the former case. A far- mer carried his load of* cotton into one of our thriving villages, and by a mer- chant was offered for his produce what seemed a low price. ‘The farmer urged sonie increase, whereupon the merchant pleaded the hard times and perhaps suggested that worse were coming, &c., | &e. After finding that he could do no | better, the farmer sold to the merchant | and the latter at once suggested the taking in trade a part of the sum due in payment. The seller's reply was: “No! I did intend buying some articles for my wife and spending a good part of the money, but if times are so hard and the outhook so bad, f must carry the money back and keep it.” Now, there are people who are in- poverished—who have no money—but there is vastly more money held back that ought to come forward than is generally supposed. If any one will deliberately pause and consider what a ' { ' dollar will doin helping a hundred ora thousand men, to pay their debts and provide for their families, he will of the observatory, where a fire had been sarted hours before to produce the proper temperature. had not moved out of place in the shght degree. ton flannel, forty yards to each glass, glasses brushed and wiped with the ut- cordance with instructions given him set on edge on steel rollers, were putin a cast iron cell inlaid with silver, with a apace of six and a half inches be- tween them.

Even one dollar, from each of a thousand persons, puts one thousand dollars into circulation, and this sum woald ron such a merry-go-round of every trade and profession us would cheer heavy hearts and brighten saddened faces in a most delightful way. These. then, are considerations to- wards relieving hard times: Don't croak; J bring yourself to think cheerfully of the future. Be industrious, and sober aud net wasteful—without being par- simenious, Do not hoard your money; if you have no present use for it invest it im some way that it may go into cir- culation.

The following truthful declarations of the Fayetteville Observer: “The mortgage systein will ruin any agri- cultural country on the face of the earth; rich land will not atone for its evils; big crops of cotton will not ar- rest its inroads; high prices for tobacco will not avert its inevitable bankruptcy. It is founded on a false principle from the start, and it can Ahawe only the most harmful results. He who pledges the land of his fathers and the walls of his home that he may cultivate the soil that his God has given him, and enjoy the blessings which nature offers, feels his galling servitude when all too late; and the merchant, only just to himself and to the buyer, can experi- ence little pleasure or satisfaction in a business Shere mutual confidence and liking are destroyed by the rigor of the terms imposed.” _ i +o Horrible Death.

He confesses the crime and said he did it because the boy told him a he; but, he claims that he did not intend to kill him, that he only wantea to reform him. The boy | was an orphan—his wife's brother's child. The poor fellow was stripped of all his clothing, bound hand and foot and laid on the floor, when he com- menced his fiendish work.

The humorous stories whose points turns upon a sacred theme would fill inany volumes. They are not confined to the privacy of ministerial circles, but are often heard upon the platform or in the pulpit, especially at the installa- tion of a new pastor, or some similar occasion when the restraints of the Sabbath are set aside, and every one has come to hear the funny brethren who are invited because it is known an audi- ence never goes to sleep under one of them upon such an occasion as is suppos- ed.

The Irish question continués to be an exciting subject in the English parlia- ment. Mr. Parnell made a strong, but calm speech in the House of Commons Monday evening, in opposition to in- creased stringency of criminal proce- dure against Jand tenants, but insisted there should be such reform of the law and system of government as will satis- fy the needs and secure the confidence of the Irish people. The Right Honorable Hugh Holmes, Attorney General for Irefand, said there had been fewer evictions, and the rents had been more promptly paid this win- ter than for seven years previous; and that the government would, at the pro- time, submit remedial legislation which would give the utmost benefit to Lreland consistent with the preservation of the union and the enforcement of law and order. Mr. Gladstone is represented as sup- porting Mr. Parnell’s views. ————___ ap 4 The Fishing Quegtion. Becretary Manning has sent to the chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, a carefully prepared paper mn which he reviews the laws ane regula- tions under which American fishing vessels have heretofore enjoyed privil- eges in the fishing waters from which by the recent action of the Canadian authorities, the queen of England sanctioning the same, have been exclu- ded. These are not in the nature of a treaty, but have had all the recognition as if they were. He recommends very decided responsive action on the part of our government in denying to Canada and Great Brittain advantages they have hitherto enjoyed under them, and the adoption of penalties against parties that shall, or may attempt to violate American rights. It is a dignified and able state paper which is des- tined to arrest the earnest attention of the British government, aud call forth such action as the gravity of the subject demands. Unless Great Brittain desires a cause for a quarrel with the United States, it is believed she will answer by action in all respects satisfactory. _—— a Negro Nominee.

CLEVELAND'S SOUTHERN BOOM FOR A SECOND TERM. { From Charlotte Home-Democrat. | We are glad that the Senate rejected Matthews, the New York negro. He had been rejected before. It was an insult to the people of Washingten city to go to N. York State to fill an office for them when they had so many worthy and capable Democrats asking forit. The best com- ment we have seen is the following, which we find in the Wadesboro 7imes: “This isa white man's Government, and as an officcholder the negro is entire- ly outof place. We hope the Senate will continue to reject “Mr.” Matthews or any other negro who is nominated by Mr. Cleveland, the chief to the Indepen- dents.

If laborers are going to strike whenever they be- come dissatisfied with the amount of pay they receive, and their discontent is to be a governing law in the premises, it is very evident that the country has fallen upon evil times.

We find in one of our exchanges the caption to a long urticle as follows: ‘A MAN WHO HATES RUM.” Perhaps it were more accurately written, “a man who fears rum;” for there are many who really hate rum. It is wise to fear it, for however pleasant to the eye and tempting to the pallet it is a,dreadful deceiver, and at the last “it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.” Man may _ hate it for the evil it does, but abstractly there are few who have nota slight occasional weakness the other way.

The express train that left Boston at 7 o'clock last we met with @ terrible accident near oodstock, on the C I Vermont rail- read, ut 3 o’clock this morning. The ac- cident assumed frightful proportions as particulars came in, and it is feared thirty or forty lives are lost. The ill-fated train sturted from this city on time, but was detained at White River Junction, so-it was about one hour and a half late when it left there. It consisted of a Iocomo- tive, baggage car; postalcar~and two sleeping cars, and ‘was running at the usual rate of speed, when about two hun- dred yards south of the end of the old deck bridge near the old Windsor station, a broken rail was struck. The locomo- tive, baggage car and postal car broke away from the rest of the train, passing over the bridge in safety. The ‘rest ot the train was thrown from the track and continued on the road bed until it camo near the end of the bridge, but there it ran over the abutment, and all of the ears fell into White River, some fifty feet be- low. The gorge at this point is frightful, and when the cars went down there was a terrible crash. As soon as was possible the detached part of the train stopped and ran back to the scene of the disaster. The screams of the victims were heart rending. Agsistance also came from the people living in the vicinity, and every- thing was done to rescue and release the injured. Soon after help arrived it was discovered that fire had started in the first passenger coach, and soon the entire train was ablaze, thus adding horror to the already frightful catastrophe. STATEMENT OF PASSENGER HOSMER. White River Junction, Vt. Feb. 5.— Charles M. Hosiner, of Lowell, makes the following statement of his experience in the terrible railroad accident near here this morning: “I took the train at Lowell and was in a central Vermont sleeper. There were a number of gentle- men and five ladies in this car, several were going to Montreal. I was awakened out of sleep and-the first I knew was the bumping of the car. I got on my knees and the car began to sway witha sickening motion. Then came the crash and at first all was darkness and and confusion. I don’t remember that there was any screaming but there were moans and calls for help. I found myself hinged down by a seat, but I broke a window and somehow or other { worked myself out of the car on to the ice. I should think the car dropped 55 feet. The other three cars were also on the ice, they having broke away from the forward part of the train. My clothing, except two shirts and socks, was torn from mein getting out. I lost every- thing else. A man who occupied a berth next to me was STRUGGLING AMID THE RUINS. Ife asked me to help him.and I finally succeeded in extricating him. There was a lady in the ruins whom we saved but she was naked when we took her from the car. She said she could neyer have been taken out if she had kept her clothing on. I think I was the first person who got out. Mr. Hutchings who took the train at Coneord, escaped and assisted in saving others. The lady we rescued proven to be Mrs. Brydon, of Montreal. I worked until Iwas so chil- led that I could do nothing more. A few minutes after the crash the ears took fire and the flames leaped on to the bridge and illuminated the valley for a long distance. Those who were unable to escape were soon in the EMBRACE OF DEATH. I cannot now realize the terrible spec- tacle of the last scene. When the flames rburst out I could see imprisoned passen- gers either calling for help or insensible,| but there was no power to save them. 1! walked, or rather crawled, to a house | where I got some clothing. Our car was| the second of the sleepers. Out of the! twenty-two in my car I personally know that nine at Jeast were saved. Mrs, Brydon was seriously injured in the back.

Congress is working away these days as| though it realized the shortness of its life and the necessity of accomplishing much before the fourth of March. Various ques- tions have been discussed in both the Sen- ate and House during the past weck, some important measures have been passed, and others haye become laws by receiving the | President's signature. The Beck bill as passed makes it unlaw- ful for any Senator or Representative to ac- cept employment as attorney-at-law or pay- ment for services of any kind in opposition to the United States, in any case in which its interests may be concerned. Any mem- ber of either house of Congress who vio- lates the provisions of this act may be pun- ished by imprisonment not exceeding one year or by a fine not exceeding $500, or by both. Mr. Evarts went as far as to say that those lawyers in the Senate who would vote for such a bill would make the imputation against their profession that iawyers were a class to be taken out from the communi- ty, for fear they might be drawn over tle line of their duty. The right of citizens was to be invaded because honest emp'oy- ment might lead to criminality, The wily Senator wanted to know if the apothecary’s shop should be suppressed be- cause poison was dealt out from it, and thought, in order to be consistent, they should make a law forbiding members of Congress from taking any fee. As to the talk about “serving two masters” he asked whether Senators were doing that then, as lawyers, they served the dignity and advan- tage of the law and the protection of the community, and when, as Senators, they did their duty under obligations. All of Mr. Evart's logic was lost upon the Senate however, and refused by a vote of nearly three to one. The President's approval of the Inter- State Commerce was in full accord with the opinion of Attorney General Garland, and with the views of the entire Cabinet. The next question is, who will get to serve their country as commissioners under the new law and against railroad corporations, A- mong two or three scores of candidates, Col. Morrison is oftenest mentioned as one —- eS }126—Chas F W Dambmann and others vs ~ ns a ee eee He is quoted as snyinz lately that it is the only position under the Government which he desires. ‘ md F Representative Reagan, who will come to the United States Senate next year’as the successor of Mr. Maxey, of Texas, has long been identified with the Inter-State Com- merce bill. He has contended for this leg- islation for many years, and his eleetion may be accepted as an indorsement of his course. Judge Reagan, as the Senator e- lect is cajled, is a man of indefatigable in- dustry, an assiduous representative of the interests of his constituents, and is sure to make a good record in the Senate. He is well known in Washington, having served four years in Congiess before the war he was Postmaster-General of the Southern Confederacy. The question of temperance has been credibly solved for herself by the mistress of the White House. When tliéDiploma- tic Corps sat down to the President’s dinner of state a few evenings ago, cight wine- glasses stood at every plate but that of Mrs. Cleveland; she took only water. This is not criticism of the taste of her guests, but only an assertion of her own preference. It defines he personal status, and it discharg- ed her official duty. It was a fine reply that Ex-Lieut. Goy. Brockmier of Missouri made, when asked why he did not call on President Cleveland. Said he. “EL don’t think there is a busier man in the country than the president, and don’t think I have a right to infringe on it. as he has little enough time of his own, 4 a a ree ne Absolutely Pure.

BRUNER EDITOR, RALEIGH, N. C. There are a dozen or more experts and mnineralogists now searching in the mid- dle and western counties of North Caro- lina for various useful and valuable min- erals. Explorations for corundum are being conducted in Yancey 2nd Macon, particularly, and also in the North Geor- gia counties which border on the State. Larger beds of corundum, of the best quality have recently been found by Mr. Natt Atkinson of Asheville, N. C. There are examinations going on with a view of bringing to the surface oth- er economic minerals. The number of explorers now engaged in the field of dis- covery has neycr been greater within the recollection of the writer. Later, as these hidden treasures are brought to light, the readers of this column shall have oppor- tunity to become acquainted with them. A BIG ENTERPRISE. Recently a company has_ been organiz- ed in Chicagor fo the purpose of develop- ing certain large iron ore beds which are known to exist in the northwestern part of North Carolina. These iron beds are immense and are traceable for six, eight and ten miles. They ‘are of a quality to justify the expenditure of vast sums in developing and working them. This Chicago company was organized with a capital stock of two and one-half mil- lion dollars, and the entire stock was taken by six men, so the writer is inform- ed. These gentlemen intend to begin operations at an early date. They have selected property contiguous to the pro- posed line of the Atlantic and North- western railroad, which is pledged to be built within two years, so that the time is not distant when work will be begun. PENNSYLVANIA CAPITAL. Recently there has been an influx of Pennsylvania capitalists into this State. The well known ‘Marion Bullion Co.” operating in the ‘“‘Brackettown district” of McDowell county, probably took the lead. There have followed this first in- vestment two other corporations known as “The North Carolina Bullion Co,” and “The Southern Bullion Co.” The first company have an authorized capital of $500,000 divided into shares at $50 each. They propose to work copper and gold mines and carry on a general mining business. They own a tract of about 800 acres, near the line of the Western N. C. railroad, in McDowell county, which has not yet been developed to any considera- ble extent. They also own the Russell Copper mine, in Pennsylvania, which has been developed to a considerable extent, and which seems to be the cream of the company’s holdings. The only thing that seems out of place in the prospectors in the nane. Why “North Carolina Bul- lion Co” should be the name of a Penn- sylyania copper mining company, is one of the things which does not explain itself. “The Southern Bullion Co.” has an authorized capital of $100,000 made into shares at $50 each. ‘This company is or- ganized for the purpose of working placer gold) mines and carry on a general min- ing business. The company, it seems, does not own in fee simple any property in the State, but has secured by lease the “WWodge Gold Mine,’ about 480 acres, situated'in Burke county, it is said in the “Brindletown district.” The locality is excellent, and is justly famed for its | greatly diversified wealth in minerals. The stock (in limited quantity) of both these companies has been placed on the market. Asa gencral rule there is no money in such investments, and it is rather a source of regret than otherwise that or- ganizations like these are permitted in the State. Where the whole revenue to develope supposed mines is derived from the sale of stock, there is mighty little show for the stockholder. The sincere friends to mining in the South know by observation and experience that organiza- not the true and lasting sources to develope really valuable property. The companies spoken of above inay be exceptions to this general rule Certainly all who feel an interest in min- tions on this basis are ing as a legitimate annex to the general industry of the South hope that they are, not only exceptions, but that they will put some energy in operation—devclepe the mines and prove them worthy of the patronage of the public before money is asked to aid in the prosecution of the work.

It isn't the man who makes the most money who saves the most, as was shown in the case of the Boston sales- min who onee received a salary of $18.- 000 per year and was recently sent to the poorhouse. Two brothers worked in the same store. One was the head porter, with a yearly salary of $1,000, and the other was a salesman who re- ceived $6,000 per annum. The last mentioned had only himself and wife to support, yet he was always poor, owing to expensive habits, while the first, with a Fomaily of eight or nine children, grew gradually neh, and lent his extravagant brother $1,000, which he found hard to get back.

J. Romanes, who has communi- cated the results to the Linnean Socie- ty of London. He finds that not only the feet but the whole body of a man exhales a peculiar or individual odor which a dog can recognize as that of his master amidst a crowd of other per- sons; that the individual quality of this odor can be recognized at a great distances to windward, or in calm weather at great distances in any direc- tion; and that even powerful perfumes may not overcome this odor. Yet a single sheet of brown paper, when stepped upon instead of the ground and afterward removed, was suflicient to prevent Mr. Romanes’ dog from following his trail. a eae Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. INFLUENCE OF FOOD-SUPPLY. A veritable plague of Braail, aceord- ing to Von Ihering, results from the singular increase of burrowing mice of the genus Hesperomys, which, are ordi- narily very rare, become alarmingly abundant at irregular periods coincident with the flowering seasons of the herba- ceous plant whick furnishes their chief food. This plant, a Crresciaaa, reaches maturity and flowers only at regular intervals varying from six to thirty years. In May and June, 1876, the mice appeared in prodigious numbers at Lourenco, where in a few days they totally demolished the fields of corn, potatoes, rye and barley, invaded houses and destroyed everything not too hard for their teeth, and even ate fat swine, and removed the wooden shoestrom the cows. At the natural rate of increase the progeny of a pair of mice would reach 23,000 individuals in a season, and if their multiplication was favored by an sbundaut seeding of their favor- ite plant every year they would soon drive all other living creatures from the country. ELECTRIC PHOTOGRAPHS. Not long since were recorded some interesting experiments in which Mons. Ch. Zenger secured photographs in the darkness of a mooaless night through the imperceptible phosphorescence of certain objects which had been bright- ly illaminated during the day. Mons. D. Tomassi has now described some even more remarkable effects under the euphonious name of “ effluviography.” By an exposure of a few minutes’ du- ration, he has impressed upon a photo- grapher's sensitive plate an image of an object through which a silent dis- charge of electricity was passing, this result being obtained even when care was taken to ensure perfect darkness and with a current of too low tension to give any sign of light. The theory of the experimenter is that a body under electric influence emits ‘electric rays” analogous to the dark rays of the spectium. THE ®oRLD'S GREAT LENSES Astronomers have witnessed during the past decade, as Prof. young remarks, a greater advance in optical power than ever before in a like period. Among the great refracting telescopes constructed are the 80-inch of Pulkowa, the 26-inch of Charlottesville, and the 23-inch at Princeton, for which the lenses were made in America by Clark ot Cambridge. A 27-inch telescope for Vienna has been made by Grubb of Doublin, who is at work on one of 28 inches for the Greenwich Ovbservatory. The 19-inch telescope at Strasburg has been turned out by Merz of Munich. The Henry Brothers of Paris have made a 20-inch object glass, not yet mounted, for the Nice Observatory; while Clark has nearly finished the giant lens of all—-36 inches in diame- ter—for the Lick Observatory. Up to 1881 the greatest refractor in the world was that of the Naval Observatory at Washington, with an object glass of 26 inches, and up to 1860 there was none larger than the Jo-nch of Huar- vard Observatory. DEFORMED AND COMMUNICATING FISHES. Among many thousands of newly hatch- ed trout and salmon examined at the Royal Aquarium at South Kensington during ISSO and 1886, Mr. August Carter found one case of deformity in every thousand, and one of monstrosi- ty—such as twin and double-headed fish—in every four thousand. His observations have convinced him that certain fish, such as the carp and perch, have the power of communicating with one another. TUMBLE WEED. A common eastern weed, according to Prof. C. KE. Bessey, is modified by climate on the western plains and prai- nes into a compact plant, whose stout curving branches give it an approxi- mately spherical form, and which js called “tumble-weed” from the fact that when the stem is broken near the ground by the autumn gales the upper part goes rolling and tumbling before the wind, often for miles. In the east the species, Amarantus albus, is astrag- gling herb, remaining rooted long af- ter its death at the close of the season. ICELAN]) S WOOD.

These two were formerly treated as sepa- rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-sighted Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli- cation lies chiefly in the disord- ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition, They reasoned thus:—“If we can in- duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre- tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat- ters which remain after the life- yiving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys- pepsia and Nervous Exhaust- ion, =And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Seigel’s Syrup) In less complicated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in- curable—with perfect success in every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex- haustion is a peculiarly Ameri- can disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it— bothsexes and all ages’ In no country in the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this aiarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or coutinual head- ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau- seous cructations; the msing of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppress- ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake- fulness and loss of sleep; dis- gust with food even when weak from the need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the tecth or in the mouth, especially on ris- ing in the morning; furred and coated tongue; cull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipation ; dry or rough skin; inability to fix the mind on any labor call- ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore- bodings and fears. All this terrible group Shaker Extract (Seigel’s Syrup) removes by its pos- itive, powerful, direct yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon they mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life’s fire) which unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body through the bowels, kid- neys and skin. ‘The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned and fed by the purified | | | blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessings and power, returns to the suf- ferer who had, perhaps, aband- oned all hope of ever secing another well day. FOR SALE.

The country Jad who is trained to simple ways and homely virtues, and who learns what a dollar is worth by actually earning it, under the laws of imperative necessity, has a tremendous advantage over the town boy. The country schools are far inferior to the! tewn or city school, but this s counter- balanced hy the fact that the country boy is trained to work from the time he can pick up corn-cobs to run the kitchen stove until he goes eut to his own home. The country boy has a mile or so to walk to and from school, which gives him vigorous appetite and hezlth. The country boy or girl is face to face with practical realities. He sees how slowly money is made on the farm; he is taught from vouth up, the need of economy; he has the nature of saving first explained to him every day temptation of the saloon or the ball room; he is not tempted so much to be a lady’s man before he has an cezasion to use a razor on his downy cheeks. He may be a trifle rude, he may not feél easy in company, but in the long. contested race of life it is the chap that trudges to school barefooted in summer and in stogas in winter, whose mother cuts his hair with the sheep- shears, that leads the chap that goes to the eity school with the starched shirt front and fancy slippers, and whose head is shaved with a lawn-mower in the barber-shops. Such has been our observation, and we think we know what we are talking about. Speaking from experience, we never read any books with such avidity as those we devoured while the horses were resting at the end of the plow land. The boys we envied forty years ago, because they Wore cassimere aud laughed at our jeans, have dropped so far back in the race that we have almost forgotten them. The chaps who had plenty of money at college, and the city bred fellows, have not been, as a rule heard from much since; while the country boys, who wore plain clothes und kept close to their books in the old college, are leading the thought of the cay. eee An Enelish inventor claims that bells made by soldering together pieces of bent metal give a much greater vol- ume of sound than cast bells.

In one case, Saturday he stated that the army record shows that the claimant spent most of his term of enlistment in desertion. ‘Thus,’ he said, “exhibited the ‘long and faith- ful service and high character of the claimant’ mentioned by the committee as entitling him to consideration. I withhold my assent from the bill, be- cause, if the facts before ure true, the allowance of this claim would be a traversity on our whole scheme of pen- sions and an insult to every decent veteran soldier.’ In another case the President quoted from the hospital re- cords to show that the claimant was not sick, but “completely worthless, obese and lazy,” and did not eonsider it strange that this claimant, encouraged by the ease with which special acts were passed, sought relief by such means twenty yeurs after his claim had been rejected by the Pension Burean. These instances are examples of the fraud upon the public hidden under many of the pension bills.

LL. Ro Warton, © _mon, find that private The Land Question. From Wilmington Star. Henry George, as the Star has be- fore said more than once, is a man of very marked ability. His work exti- tled “ Progress and Poverty” created intense agitation in intellectual and landed circles in Great Britian, und the ablest men in the Kingdom were among those who thought it gant that it should be replied to. . George is an extremist in some iculars. Rev. Dr. McGlynn, the Catholic priest just now figuring so conspicuously in the ublic prints, is an avowed disciple of Mfr. George. Dr. McGlynn says: ‘“My doctrtine about land has been made clear in speeches, in reported in- terviews and in published articles and I repeat it here. { have taught and I shall continue to teach in speeches and writ- in fully the property of the people in com- 3 ip of land is against natural justice, no matter by what civil or ecclesiastical laws; and I would bring about instantly, if I could, such changes of laws all the world over as would confiscate private property in land without one penny of compensation to the miscalled owners.”’ Now how far that correctly repre- sents Mr. George's policy as he would apply it to this country we do not know. — It goes farther than he advo- cates in his book, unless we baf® for- gotton his exact position, and it has been some time since we read any part of his powerful work. The platform ‘of the Peale and Labor Organizations of New York City, auopted last S-p- tember and prepared no coubt by Mr. Greorge, does not go as far as the above declarations of principle by Father Me- | Glynn goes. | This-land question is important. It ix destined to become more important. Tt is sure to be discussed moreand more in years ahead, and it may become the great question on this continent. — It is well for all to have some knowledge of its theory and remedy. In the Asheville tdeance of the Sth ult.. there was a clear and well written paper of nearly two and a half columns on “Henry George and the |! Land and Labor Club” of that town. It is by Mr. Locke Craig, and it exhib- its no little ability. We refer to it / now becanse the Star had something to say of the Club at Asheville, of which Mr. Craig is the founder, we beheve. Mr. Craig says: ‘The principle purpose and controling policy of the movement of which Henry George is the leader, 78 to do away wtth the present xyslem of land ownership. Tu his position on this subject he by no means stands alone, being supported, with one or two exceptions by all the leading thinkers of this century; such as Goethe, Thomas Carlyle and Herbert Spencer. Carlyle, in his own) striking way, well expresses their views when he says, ‘Properly speaking, the lind belongs to these two: to Almighty God, and to all His Children of Men that have ever work well on it.’ Or as Henry George expresses it, ‘What God has created for the use of all should be utilized for the benefit of all.” | ‘‘Land they do not recognize as prop- j erty; that atone is property, or subject to ' private ownership, which is the product of labor. ~~ By land is meant land in its nattral state, unimproved by the appli- eation of labor; in so far as it has been improved by the application of labor; ia | so far as it has been improved by human ; industry, by building, clearing, drain- ings, ete., in so far it is the subject of private ownership. But these are not | inelifded in the term gland’; they are not land but the products of labor; whatever , Value individual industry has added to | } | } | land, that of right belongs to the indi- vidual.” This is sweeping enough. The American people as vet are far away as long as I live, that land is right- , equitably be expelled from the earth al- together. Equity, therefore, does not permit property inland.” . Mr. Spencer is perhaps the most in- fluential thinker and author among living Englishmen. We do not enter upon a diseussion of the plan by which r. George proposes to operate. Our purpose_now is to simply indieate the views Of eminent writers who are in harmony with Mr. George iti the opin- ion that no man has any right to own ithe land—that it belongs to the race ‘or races who dwell upon it. | When eminent writers in Europe, and some men of marked ability in the United States hold the views indicated, and when societies and ¢lubs are organ- ized to propagate opinion and create a bod of voters who shall antagonize land owners—the farmers and others who are rietors of the soil—it is ‘time for inteHigent men:to be on the alert and to watch narrowly the trend of theage. This land question is grow- ing serious in England, for a few men now own the whole country. One Englishman actually owns 80,000 acres of land in that comparatively small country. A few Englishmen have al- most entire possession of the soil. Rich men of the United States are “gobbling up’ the hundreds of thousands of acres, and foreign corparations and individ- uals are buying up land by the han- dred thousand acres also. So the land question may yet prove to be a tremen- dons factor in American politics. <P - --—— The Physicians’ Lien Law. From the Ral. News and Observer. Since there has appeared in the pub- le press a communication favoring the passage of a physician’s hen law, sign- ed with the intitials of a well known doctor, it becomes incumbent on some one to say something on the other side. Your correspondent asserts that ‘no inconsiderable portion of the best phy- sicians” have left the state on account of inability to collect fees. This I emphatically deny. A good many first class men have lettto gointo betterand larger tields, some of them proving suc- cessful, while a number, finding they did not possess the qualities necessary to success in those larger fields, have returned and become quite successful among a people whose characteristics they better knew; and others, owing to the immutable law of the “survival of the fittest,” have dwindled into pro- fesional insignificance and nothingness just as they naturally would have done had they chosen any other walk in life. The doctors are as well paid and as mach appreciated as any other class of professional men the state. Among the 1,500 doctors in North Carolina I quaintance, that there are at least 100 who have succeeded in every sense of the word—who have accumulated a com- petency, gained the esteem of their tellow citizens for integrity, &c., &c., and have been successful in the treat- ment of diseases. [claim that this is a larger per cent of success than has attended any other business in- the State. It is said that ninety-five per cent of the merchants fail. Only one farmer in thirty makes more than a bare living. One lawyer in twenty gets a fair practice. The medical men who are petition- ing the legislature for a hen law seem to have forgotten that we have had ‘four bad crop years, and that every | class of business is suffering, and they |oughtto have the manhood tostand the general distress as much as any one else. | from all Socialistic theories, and this; If they have not the business qualitiea- It Was a Hard Fight But They | land question is the chief corner-stone tions to sueceed in medicine, and tind | | | | | | | of Socialism as expounded by its ablest advocates. The people in the South will not look with favor upon any movement that proposes “to do away with the ship.” tis too radical. too revolu- tionary, too destructive for the conserv- ative opinions and traditions and prin- ciples of the Southern people. But this theory of Henry George is hy no means a new theory. He is fol- writers. ont a rival in economic science--held this —that no man has a right to be the absolute owner of anything which has elxe exertions. He held that nothing is really property which has not been produced by human industry. and, therefore land can not be property. able sir Henry Maine, of England, is tiat the ownership of land is of eom- paratively recent origin—that in all primitive societies the soil of the earth was held collectively by a whole tribe or settlement, as is the case to-day in the Russian Mir, the German Mark. and the Swiss Allmend. Herbert Spencer holds this: “For if one portion of the earth may justly become the possession of an indi- vidual, and may be held by him for his sole use and benefit asa thing to which he has an exclusive right, then other por- tions of the earth may be so held, and eventually the whole of the earth's sur- face may be so held, and our planet may thus lapse altogether into private hands; and if the land owners have a valid right to the surface of the globe, then it follows that those who are not land-owners have a valid right to the surface of the globe, than it follows that those who are not land owners have no right at all to ifs surface. Hence, such can exist upon the earth by sufferance only. They are all tresspassers, Save by permission of the lords of the soil, they can have no room for the soles of their feet. Nay, should the others think fit to deny them a rest- ing place, these Iindless men might pee system of land owner- | lowing in the wake of many famous | Adam Smith—a name with- | ‘could not been created by his or somebody's | The position of M. de Lavelye, and the | j they are not making a living, there jare other walks in life open to them. } A man who is not sueceeding in one j thing cannot do worse by changing. I ;am well aware that there are a great |many honest and qualified doctors who /many honest and quahi 2 hare not doing well, so far as money is concerned, but that is their own faultjand /no act of the legislature can change it. ; They are wanting in business tact and }method, and, without these no man however great hix scientific attainments, ean hope for final success. To protec this class of men a hen law might not be objectionable, but [do not think it benetit them. Those who can- not sueceed under the existing circum- stances would not be likely to do so under any other. Until all the raseals are driven out of the profession (ind [| am sorry to say we still have some among us) this lien law would be a very dangerous experi- ment to the people. Give adoctor who isarascal the certainty of getting his fee from the poor as well as. the rich and the temptation to keep his patient in bed will be so great that he cannot resist it. Better let the laws remain as they are. If adoctor has the elements of success in him, he will sooner or later succeed any way. If the medical pro- fession isso sadly in need of a special lien law. for their protection, is it not reasonable to suppose that the various other classes of citizens—equally en- titled to the svimpathy of our law-mak- ers, who are now barred by existing laws must have some redress also ? Our legislators, in’ their arduous ef- forts to protect certain classes of peo- ple, have already cumbered our statute books with too mueh of this class leg- islation --las that superinduce dis- honesty and work injury to the masses. Let equal and exact justice be meted ¢ ‘out, and either let the laws stand as they the apecial benefit of one or more classes, repeal them al fr ; H, O. Hyartr, M. D. Is It Chance or Design.

Some Lirds find suitable food in worma, and small fish, which creep about in water, on the banks of shatlow lakes and rivers. But how are they to ob- tain their food when it is under water ? They have long legs, like stilts, to wade in water; and they have long necks and long bills, so as to reach anything at they bottom. Long tails would be useless and inconvenient to them, for the tails would dabble in the water, and | be a trouble and a burden in seeking food; so their tails are short, while their legs, necks, and bills are long; all just as they ought to be. Does all this look like chance work ? These wading, long legged birds find their food in clear water, through which the bottom can be distinctly seen from the top; but ducks find food in dirty water, and mud, so that they cannot disgover it by sight. How then do they find it? They have to feel for it. Most, birds have no more sense of feeling in their bills than we in our teeth, but the duck has a very sensi- tive skin fixed just at the end of its mouth, which becomes soft in water, and by which it can easily distinguish eatables from pebbles and mud. If the duck were a long legged bird it eculd not walk so well on the mnd in which it finds food. Its feet would sink and stick fast. It is therefore made with short legs and webbed feet to swim, iand even when the water ia too shal- ‘low to swim in, the webbed feet sup- /port its body on the mud. Could anything be b.tter than this? Do you think it all came to beso well and wisely done by accident? or does it not rather look as if some one had thought about it before He made tiem; and had contrived it all? I may here add, by-the-way, that the should say, judging from personal ac- | 1t becomes dry and stiff, but when the | tools, and each 1s exactly adapted to its | | | | | jtiger a liking for crass. are, or, instead of tapping them for sensitive skin at the end of a duck’'s bill makes it “weatherwise.” There is a strong sense of feeling there, owing | to its being full of nerves. In dry air hair is very’damp it imbibes moisture from the air, which the duck feels to be pleasant, whd thereupon begins to quack noisily, as boys in the. street |shout when they are glad; thus the loud and general quacking of ducks in- dicate rain. Whenever we see working tools we know to what trade they belong, and the kind of work they are intended to ‘do. Kach tool is designed to do a par- ticular kind of work and no other. Saws cannot drive nails in. wood, nor ean hammers cat through — timber. Now, it is just se with the mouths of living creatures; they are working work, which is to eat the very food which its owner best likes, and which is most useful toit. Forinstance, the horse has io desire to eat flesh, nor the | The tiger's stomach could not dizest nor could that of a horse digesi fe sh. If chance had been the world’s creator | the tigher might have had erindine teeth, the horses, oxen and sheep teeth to tear. But itis not so; the mouth and teeth of every living thing are perfectly suited to the work which is best to be done for the well bei. of SUT Se | each. The same is noticeable in the strenzth of the jaws. Look, for instance, at the monkey and the squirrel. The squir- rel is an industrious little fellow in his way, but the monkey is not so patient; he would quickly eat what he has got; aud then be intent on some uuschief or some prank. Both animals delight to eat nuts. But the squirrel, who cannot bend botharms like the monkey, holds the nut in his mouth with both paws, und likes to nible at tne shell until he gets to the kernel; whereas, the monkey puts it into his month, gives ita lusty crack, and eats the kernel at once. ‘this is what each likes to do, and accordingly the monkey is provided with strong jaws, but the jaws of the squirrel are light, Just as required. The front teeth with which it gnaws are very sharp; so, also, is the front teeth of a rat, the beaver, and the porcupine, and of all animals that have to mibble to get at food. And what is remarka- ble, the substance of which the poi: ts of the teeth are formed 1s so hard as to never wear away. Where it not so, their constant gnawing would wear the teeth down. Even the edges of hard steel saws wear away In work, and so would the nibbling animal's teeth, were the edges made of bone —the same sub- stance as the other part of the teeth; but the edge or point of each tooth is formed of solid enamel-—the thia glaze kind of material with which teeth are covered to protect them. This enamel is so hard as searcely ever to weur away by biting. How well all this is done. Could chance have done it? The largest teeth are those of the Ree tasins, or river horse, as the “ means. They are like a set of tusks in its mouth. Tt lives on reeds and coarse, thick vegetable matter. It has just sueh teeth as are fit to tear and to divide tough-and hard: plants. It eats enormously; if it did not it could not live, for its food contains little nourishment. And that it may be able to eat enormously, far more than the elephant. it has astemach which holds five or six bushels of food, and the large éanal of--.its bowels are two feet round. Here, again, you see how one thing exactly suits apother, and all these things agree with the places— reedy isletswhere the big heast has to live. If an infidel tells you that chance arranged all this, he must be wicked, or else he innst be mad. The rhinoceros; like the hippopota- mus,is‘a huge beast. 4t is sn te be the unicorn of which Job speuks, beeause it has one horn. It feeds‘on branches of trees, but very often it can- not reach the branches, and in no case can it climb. How then isit to obtain food? It has a horn with which to rip and tear up the trees, that the branches may be brought down. A hollow horn, like that of the ox, would not be strong enough forthe work, so its horn is solid horn, if made of bone, for it might break, in breaking and tearing up great trees; so it is fibrous, and will bend rather than break; and the skin out of which it grows is of like hardness, that it may yield to pressure. Were the horn fixed over the brain, that delicate and vital organ might be injured when the animal punches a tree, so it is fix- ed over the nose; and having a thick, strong, short neck, the beast uses his horn with sufficient force to’ tear up trees and split them to pieces. Noth- ing would do if it were different to what it is; but nothing could possibly be made as it is by chance. mm on 8 ge The Surgical operation of trepanning or trephining the skull, a few years ago discovered to have been common with prehistoric man, has since been found to have continued in quite extensive practice from the most remote period to our own times. A French anthro- pologist. M. Vedrenes, mentions that native families of Montenegro and of Algiers have made a profession of tre- panning for ages, and he notes as a cu- rious circumstance, that the miners of Cornwall retain to the present day the same implicit faith in efficiency of the operation for the removal of blood-clots, ete., in head-injuries that is held by these distant semi-barharous tribes.

E> +> a — Geologists have described Britain as swarming with a multitude of forms of gigantic reptiles, some of them sixty feet or more in length, during the reptilian age-—the middle period in earth's geol- ogical history, when mollusks and rep- tiles attained their culmination and de- clinec, and when the first mamr als and the nrst birds appeared. A stnk- ing picture of England at a later epoch —the middle Quartermary —is given by Owen: “Gigantic elephants, of nearly twice the bulk of the largest individuals that now exist in Cevlon and Africa, roamed here in herds, if we may judge , Srizzly, a gigantic Leaver, | from the abundance of their remains.

Oma level or ascending grade the maximum can be but little more than 60 miles an hour. As these engines were designed expecially for giving the greatest pos- sible speed, it 1s affirmed that no mod- ern motors a.e adapted for beating their records, and that réports of train- running at more than 75 miles an hour even for the shortest distances, must be due to inaecurate timing or ofher errors. — . ~~ —__ Eight vears of ulmost continuous personal experiment has confirmed the early view of Dr. J.

With- out disparagement of his associates on the floor of the House, he has shown himself worthy of higher p:irty honors and party trusts, and he would worthily bear the party standard as the nominee for Lieutenant-Governor. x Good!

C. begs-that a correc- tion be made in regard to the amount paid for the Morris Mountain mine. This paper stated that $50,000, reported amit. the property sold for was,too much. He states that the property was sold to Messrs. Sinith & Mason, of New York, for $30,000. This is not an exhorbitant charge, but areasonable price for the pro- perty .ltisa pleasure to make the correc- tion, as it places the property on a fair basis both as to sale and reasonable pros- pects for successful operation on the amount of capital invested. THE COGGINS EQUIPMENT. . The thorough equipment of the Appala- chian mine (old Coggins) is looked upon aw the entering wedge of thé development of the El Dorado district in Montgemery county. This property is: comparative- ly hew—in fact, it may Tiardly elaim to be developed, yet enough has been done in a practical way to divest the scheme of purely problematic speculations. Enough of the ground has been opened to prove it capable of ex- tended operations, and the ores tested by actual work has demonstrated the mc- ney value of the material. These con- siderations have been the prime factors in the present expenditure for an ade- quate plant of machinery. -The property is surrounded by? many other prospects, all of which are of a promising nature, and the activity ef this is lively to bring others into prominence at no distant day. The Morris Mountain property alluded to above is in the immediate vicinage, and the early prospect of activity enhan- ces the value of other property in the district. This, together with the Big Russel, the Steele and some smaller operations, make a collection of active propertics in Montgomery which must yield enough to materially enlarge} the production of that county.

In the extensive oyster culture experi- ments of the United States Government particular. attention is being given to methods for preserving the young. Wire baskets three feet square and six inches deep are used for collecting the spat, which adhere closely to the sides and bottom, this device enabling the operators to prevent the accumulation of mud, the great foe of the oyster in- dustry, by frequent shaking of the bas- kets. An average oyster is expected to yield 10,000,000 young. Probably the only medical journal published daily is EY Dario Medico-Far- macutico, of Madrid. POWER OF EXPLOSION. Frightful as its possible effect over a limited space may be, the force lyurg dormant in a ton of dynamite is by no means so forminable as many are iL- clined to believe. Accurate measure- ments by Italian engineers have shown that the explosion of a ton of dynamite exerts a power of 45.670 foot-tons; that of a ton of nitroglycerine, 64,452 foot- tons; and of a ton of blasting gelatine, 70,050 foot-tons.

Tt was ithe same time that a cotton factory | was built here, at | (treensboro and at Lexington.

The late Hon. | Chas. Fisher of this place. (not Col. C.F, leading man in that movement, doing more than any other one man in this i section to give it success. It is believed j that the feilure of most of these freto- “ries was due to the lack of transporta- | tion facilities, sustaining capital, wan- ing contidence, and to inexperienced operatives. Whatever the causes which | hindered their success it may not now | be very easy to determine, as those who were actively concerned in them have passed off the stage, leaving no available records from which the exact j facts may be derived. The factory in S:lisbury, was built in 1839-40, or about that time. and af- ter runninga number of years, was sold at public sale for the purpose of raising funds to pay off original debt, and was bought in by the late Maxwell Cham- bers at a sum considerably below first cost. He introduced a good deal of new machinery and ran it successfully for several years. He had ample capi- tal and business qualifications of a superior order, all of which were wade available in the business. Finally. look- ing forward to the approaching end of his life, he donated the property toa young kinsman who, as it appeared af- terwards, was deficient in those essen- tials, and it soon went down.

But as commonly managed, a la part of this most important item is recklessly allowed to run to waste in the water that runs away from the sta- bles, or that is evaporated after a rain- fall.

As to what Congress is doing just now, [ may say the Senate is overduing ithe Navafappropriation business, and ithe House is trying to eet on with the regular, indispensable bills. The past week was marked by jsome important legislation, prominent among which was the passuge of the Kads’ Tehauntepee Ship Railway bill, | | by the Senate and the rigorous anti- | | House. | r . see | You may remember that this measure | passed the Senate some time since but it ithe Senate has passed it us it came | . .

The bill corporates Capt. Eads and some eigh- ity otber persons named, as a body (politic under the name of the Atlantic and Pacific Ship Railway Company. |The stock is not to exceed SLOO,000,000; jand when ten per cent. of the stock per cent. paid in held in Washington or New York, for ‘the election of dircetors.

After knocking Mr. Crawford down—the negro made for bim ia second time—with aclub in his hand, but by presence of mind and_ coolness shown on the part of our young towns- man, the negro took to flight. The sup- position is that robbery was the in- tention of the unknown assailant. .No clue has been obtained as to the perpe- trator of the deed.

C. + et ge ee ae or oe Da hs eiaede See Rarely Modifict Quartz. North Carolina has acquired consider- able notoriety in the production of grartz crystals with -highly modified and ex- ceedingly rare splanes. This branch of science may be too obscure for the genei- al reader, yet it is not without intercst to the average reader, especially whcn treated ina proper way. There is but a limited circle devoted to the study of crystallography, but to this circle the quartz crystals of North Carolina furnish never failing interest. Quite recently Prof. W. FE. Hidden, of the Emerald and Hiddenite mine, Alexander county, sent to G. vom Rath, Bonn, Germany, a num- ber of these rare crystals. They attrac- ted much attention and were carefully figured by that eminent scientist, who issued a pamphlet giving illustrations of the crystals and a full .deseripiion of them. Tf this results in nothing better than advertising our State abroad something has been accomplished which may lead to additional research our mineral localities. THE BOILSTON MINE.

Certain idlers, who will not work in ;summer and who will steal in winter, are ‘nightly abroad.

A marvelous clock, which is intended (to surpass the mechanical work ef | Strashurg and Berne is being made at Villingen in the Black Forest, one of | the headquarters of this branch of in- dustry. It is in the old gothic, and in- idicates the seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years and leap years, be- ‘ginning with’ the first seconds of the first year and ending with the last sec- onds of 99,999 A.D. It also indieates ithe correet time for each meridian, _the phases of the moon, and strikes the | minutes, quarters and hours. Marvel- ous figures move round the clock, time, christianity, human life, striking the minutes and hours; genii, death, a pat- ron saint, a cherub and the twelve a- postles, Christ, the four ages of man, the four. seasons, the seven heathen gods who gave the names to the days forth. During the day a trumpeter sounds his bugle, then comes. the night watchman announcing the hours with bis horn, and he is relieved at dawn by acrowing cock. In spring and summer the cuckoo's note is heard. The angels who attended Christ in his last hours are also moving on, and there is a sexton and an old man who kneels in prayer. The clockwork farther sets in motion various paintings— seven pictures of the creation of — the ie and the fourteen stations which represent the lie and sufferings of Christ. It is in- tended to show this wonderful piece of mechanism it the first international exhibition. SEEKING HOME PATRONAGE. aged 6 years. In women the effect is usually more rapid and marked.

That bill ignitous measure, denounced by almost rags a most In- the entire press of the country as a simple raid upon the Treasury, and op- posed even by Yankee veterans them- selves.

Star :—Having read in your pa- per an article from the Raleigh Chron- | icle, headed “A Most important Bill,” }in which attention is called to the in- justice in one or two cases in our pres- ent State revenue law. For instance— A has solvent credits amounting to $1- OOO, and is allowed to deduct from same his debts, say $500, and therefore lists for taxation only $500; while B, who owns 2 farm valued at $1,000 has list the same at its full valne of $1,000, and C, who holds the mortgage on B's property for $1.0CO has to list it also as a solvent credit. In other words, | this same thousand dollars pays what may be called a double tax. | Is there any more injustice and ine- qnality in these two cases mentioned than in the case of our merchants, who in January and July pay Schedule B taxes on all purchases made for the six months proceeding, and then in |} April have to again list these same | goods as stock on hand ? The Mer- chant has also to pay in January and July fees amounting to 75 cents for the privilege, vou may say, of listing their taxes--and if under the same roof they sell goods and do a commis- sion business they have to pay in each case fees to the sheriff and register, and Wholesale and re ail Hqaor dealers pay these fees to the shentf and register tour times a year.

A farmer in town Saturday expresses the behef that the bottom has fallen out of Rowan as an agricaltural sec- tion, and that if he eonld he intended to pull up stakes and drive ont to a fresh country. When men once reath this eonvic- tion it is evident that they can never he successful here while it holds them. and they had better go than stay. Faith is an essential element to success, and without if no one can- put fourth the necessary effort to gain it. Men nist believe that their labors will be rewarded or they cannot or will not nike them. If going to a fresh coun- will re-kindle faith and courage. and these are fortified with vigorous and unremitting labor wisely directed with the practice of economy, success will jcome. But the removal of itself with- out these essential conditions will sure- ly tail. So that. after all. it is not the fresh country that warrants success, but the change in the individual and lis methods of Such oa change, could it be wrought without the removal, would doubtless be aceom- panied by as good or better results.

There were per- haps two hundred contestants for each year, scattered over the three States of | Alabama, Georgia and Carolina.

That the amount of fertilizer néed- ed to achieve this result is small.

About the samme result was achieved by Messrs. Ray and Pyron. Mr. Truitt, who took the first premium “year before last, put nearly four tons of fertilizer on his five acres last year, but did not reach as good a result by 2,000 pounds of cotton as Mr. Sims, who used only one ton of fertilizer.

These farmers were scat- tered throughout three States. | Phey averaged over two Lales to the aere on five acre patches. This demonstrates that the average lands throughot South, taken anywhere and treated, will produce two bales of cotton to the acre instead of one bale to three weres, as is now the average. It shows also that no man has a patent on the process, but that out of two hundred furmers who tried it, the entire number | averaged over two bales to the acre. The result in corn planting is quite as} remarkable. In Iss85 there were a hun- dred Georgia farmers who contested for corm premiums, The entire vcreiee planted by three hundred farmers ayer- aged Sl bushels of shelled corn to the acre in 85.) In 1886 a Jarger number contested, and the average was advanced from SI] bushels of shelled corn to acre, to 102 bushels.

The House was in session until mid- night last night on the legislative appro- priation bill, but very little progress was made on account, of the obstructions of two southern Reptiblicans, Brady and Pet- tibone.

There are only five days left of the session, and with most of the appropriation biils to be passed, an extra session would be inevi- table, unless the House rises to the occa- sion and chokes off its obstructionists.

The main thing so far elicited by the Texas investigation is the fact that white republican leaders of the negroes in the region under review told their dupes that the Cleveland administration was respon- sible for the earthquakes, the drought and the fact that cotton brought but 7 cents a pound.. This is on a nar with the republican argument generally addressed to the darkey.—News-Observer. N. Y. Star: the question of an extra session is already agitated at Washington. Present rumors relate only to the con- sideration of treaties by the Senate. But after Cabinet reconstraiction an extra session of the House of the Fiftieth Con- gress may be deemed advisable to con- sider an administration plan of tax re- duction. and Treasury administrative reform. There are some weighty reasons of public and party policy in favor of such a course if the present House ad- journs without aetion.

He did not use the pro- noun he, did he? O, yes, he did! He said he was drunk; he acknowledged the corn. You oit understand me at all. I want the words just as he uttered them. Did he say I was drunk? Oh, no, your honor, he didn’t say you was drunk. IT wouldn’t allow any man to charge that upon you in my presence. A fledyling lawyer occupying a seat in court, desired to air his powers, and sud: Pshaw! you don't comprehend at all. His honor means, did the prisoner say to you I was drunk? Well, he might have said you drunk, but I didn’t hear him. What the court desires, said another lawyer, is to have you state the prison- ers own words, preserving the precise form of pronoun he made use of iu the reply. Was it in the first person, I; second person, thou or you; or the third person, he, she, or it? Now then, sir, did not the prisoner say, [ was drunk ? No, he didn’t say you was drunk, neither.

The Shakers believe that na- ture has aremedy Zor every dis- ease. A few have been found— the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci- dent.

It is announced that railroad men who have been studying the inter-State Cemmerce Bill, which they have so vigorously fought heretofore, ure be- eoming more than reconciled with it. It is claimed by them thatit will estab- lish better relations between com- panies aud enable them to make more money than before. The main object of the law was to vent discriminations, and to equalize reight charges with reference to the distance goods are carried. Tenure of Office Act. One other good thing done by the late Congress wus the repeal of this odious act, which, as many will remem- ber, was passed while Mr. Johnson was President, and was intended to prevent him from removing officers,even meai- bers of his cabinet, without consent of the Senate. [t was the product: of fear and jealousy of the Republican party, passed under the excitement of the times just after the war. been practically dead for some time and ought to have been repeuled years ago. Strikes _ Are of almost daily occurrence and in nearly every department of business. Discontent reigns among the laboring le on railroads, mines, in work- shops and factoriesof every kind. The confusion is great and apparently in- creasing. Capital must necessarily grow timid under such a state of things and be gradually withdrawn trom en- terprises dependiny for success on the labor of large budies of employees. Laborers may in theend be forced to abandon present occupations, scatter out and resort to the cultivation of the soil as a means of support. The build- ers of the tower of Bable were scarcely in worse confusion than the laboring people of the preseut day, and like them, many who are ow in disorder will go out tu find new pursuits, on which to depend for the support of themselves and families. The Work of the Late Congress. _ Phe following are some of the most peporeen meusures passed by this ; One of the most important is the inter-State Commerce Bill, by which it is hoped to correct some of the abuses of railroad charges on freights and pas- sengers. The billsettling the succes- sion to the Presidency, and another on counting the electoral votes. An act prohibiting polygamy; an act for the redemption of the tradedo!lur; a pro- | vision for the increase of the navy, a| pension bil! for the heroes of the Mexi- can war, &c. It is remarkable that this Congress could find no way to reduce the tax on the people with atreasury fairly flood- ed with money for which there jis no public need. The war tariff still goes on, gathering up the hard earnings of the toiling millions to be poured into a treasury with scarcely room enough to eon aint. The President urged a re- vision and reduction of the tariff, and all admit it ought to be done, and yet the y could not or would not do it; nor will it ever be done unless the people make a racket about it. While they continue to look on as disinterested spectators, Congressmen are heartless enough not only to let it alone, but to devise all sorts of schemes for depleting the treasury. This is especially charge- able to the Kepublicans who make ex- pediency and seltish aims the rule of action insted of the constitution of the governme..t.

We have thoroughly examined the books of the Corporation and find this statement corrrect. W..L. Kucurrz,) . E. B. NEAvE, f OR Ie. Our Association charges its borrowers a square eight per cent. on the sum_bor- rowed and nomore. No borrower has to pay a bonus or premium, or interest on money which he does not obtain. The profits to investors are less than they would be if we violated the law in this matter, but they are safe. Some of our stockholders during the year have been compelled to sell their stock, and all parted from it unwillingly. An arrangement has now been perfected by which stock can be pledged as col- lateral to the banks or to private individ- uals. In this way stockholders ought to be able. when pressed for want of money, to borrow nearly the full amount they have paid in. In any case the money can be hadin from thirty to sixty days by withdrawing. No man, however, has yet been compeHed to resort to this means. All have been able to sell more speedily or on better terms than they could with- draw. I hope that the power of pledging stock as collateral will prevent ourstock- holders from having to sell in future when they need money. The officers of the association have tried to do three things: Ist. To make! our investments perfectly safe. How! fur they have succeeded in this you ean judge from the report of the investigating committee which is now to be read. 2nd. To keep down expenses and make our profits large. The profits on the first series for the whole year are nearly 10 per cent., and on the second for the half year nearly at the rate of 9} per cent. per annum. What other lawful way of lend- ing money is there where the risk is so small and the profits so large? The ex- penses have been kept within the amount of the entrance fees. Every cent of in- stalmenta, of fines, interest, transfer fees and release fees that we have ever re- ceived is in safe keeping for the stock- holders. The only expense for the last six months has been tho secretary and treasurer’s salary, and $2.02 for postage and postal cards. If this course is to be continued we must have a large number of shares taken in the Third Series. If you induce men to take stock in the hird Series it will tell when your profits are counted out at the end of the next six months. The 3rd thing we have endeavored to do is to make the Association a credit to the town. The houses that have been built during the year by our help, the bomes that have been purchased, the mortgages that have been paid, are only some of the things that we have done. We havo given scores of mena reasonable hope of having a home of theirewn. We bave provided a secure place of deposit for savings. Weare teaching babits of thrift and business-like promptness. We are helping men in the best pozsible way by teaching them to help themselves. Ought not our prid: ip the welfare of our town toinduce usto do all we ean to strengthen this institution, by taking as much stock as we can, and by prevailing on others to do so? Ovr collections for the past year have been $10,000. If we can place two series of stock this year, one now and one in Sepiember, and as large us the corres- ponding ones were last year, our receipts tor this year will be nearly $25,000, ip audi- tion to the $10,600 already received. If our success continues the saine this sear as during the one just closed, the stockholders may look for the following prv-titsin addition to what we have already, on September Ist: First Series, 78 cents a share; Second, 49 cents; Third, 15 cents. And in addition to that on the Ist of March next, Ist series 1.11 cents a share; 2nd, 73 cents; 3rd, 49 cents, and 4th, 15 cents, Al of which is respectfully submitted. F. J.

The roll having been called, it was ascer- tained that a quorum was present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The report of the Secretary and Treasurer was read and also that of the Com- mittee of Investigation, and both were re- ceived. Mr. Murdoch moved the adoption of the followins amendment to. the constitution, which had been on tile 30 days. That a new Article be added to the con- stitution and numbered 8," the present eighth Article being numbered “9.” “Whenever mere than one hundred shar- es of the stock of this Association shall be held) in any incorporated town other than Salisbury, the board of directors may make loans of money on property within two miles of the center of that town, and may appoint a board of sub-dircectors among tie stockholders in) hat town to ascertain the value of property offered as security, and an attorney resident there to i ivestigate U- tles, and an assistant treasurer there to re- ceive and forward the monies of the Asso- ciation, and may require him to give boud for the faithful discharge of of his duties.” The further consideration of this amena nent Was postponed to aspecial meeting on Thursday, March 17th. The entire old board of officers was anan- imously re-elected, except that Goo. W. Gates was substituted jor J.J. Bruner, who declined, and Theo. Buerbaum for RK. Eximes, Jr... whe is absent. A Committee consisting of Messis. Smith- deal, Buerbaum, D. R. Julian, Skaban & H.C. Williams, was appointed to canvass the town tor subscriptions to the third se- rics. A vote of thanks to the officers for their | management of the affairs of the ass. cla- tion was passed. The meeting adjourned, F. J. Mcrpocs, Sec. and Treas, ee es Capea GENERAL NEWS. How the People Saved. So it appears that the federal deficiency bill failed for want of time to engross, it; that the fortification bill was abandoned in conference and that the river and har. bor bill was ‘‘pocket-vetoed.” These measures carried many millions of dollars. The first provided for the construction of the unnecessary cruisers proposed; the second would have appropriated $40,000,- 000 in a lump; the three would have de- pleted the treasury to an enormous ex- tent. In securing their failure, therefore, if he really was at the bottom of that failure, Mr. Randall was not so far wrong as he wassupposed to be. He has ever been most careful of public expenditures and it is not at all impossible that he so manocvered as to have thethree unneces- sary bills referred to left in the lurch and the millions they would have scattered at the North saved to the people’s purse.

There isa man on the Darson River, below ‘Dayton, named Angela Cordella, who claims to be the strongest man in the world. He is an Italian, aged twenty eight, aud stands five feet ten inches, weighing 198 pounds. His strength was born with him, for he had no athletic train- ing. He ditters from other men chiefly in the osseous structure. Although not of unusual size, his spinal columa is much beyond the ordinary width, and his boves and joints are made an a similarly large and generous scale. He has lifted ‘a man of 200 pounds with the middle finger of his right hand. The man stood with one foot on the floor, his arms outstretched, his hands grasped by two persons to bal- ance his body. Cordella then stooped and placed the third finger of his right hand under the man’s foot, and, with scareely any perceptable effort, raised him to the height of four feetand deposit- ed him on atable near at hand. Once two powerful men waylaid Cordella with intent to thrash him, but he seized one in each hand und hammered them to- gether until life was nearly knocked out of them. —— - ~<a — — --____ Standing up for the President.

A Dog Saves His Master's Lif Atlanta - Constitution. James Martin, a farmer ol Laurens county, 8. C., had a narrow escape from 4 barribie death recently and owes his lite to the time- ly service of a faithful dog. Mr. Martin was Crossing his pasture when he was at- tucked by a vicious Jersey bull and thrice tossed in the air. A8 he fell the third time he was so stunned that he could make no effort to rise, and the infuriated animal was proceeding to gore him to death. Just at that critical moment, however, Muttin’s shepperd dog came upon the scené and mak- inga furious attack upon the bull, succeeded rin driving him away. Mr. Martin's injuries are of & serious nature, though not necessa- rily fatal. Trotter Confirmed. Washington, March 4.—The Senate in executive session confirmed the nominations ot James M.

Henderson’a Bill. . VOTED DOWN —FRIEXDS OF INTERNAL REV- ENUE REDUCTION DISGUSTED. Correspondance Richmond Dispatch. Washington, March 3.—Mr Henderson was recognized fast night to make motion to suspend the rules and pass his internal) ton, revenue bill, but be gave way to Mr. Barks- dale, and the matter went over until to-day. His long and comprehensive bill was read this afternoon. Mr. Wilkins demanded a record. One handred and twenty-six gen- tlemen voted yea, and thirty-cigbt voted in the negative. Mr. Morrison voted with the majority. Mr. Henderson then took the floor and explained the provisions of the measure. He made a clear and sensible statement, explaining all of its sections ex- cept these which had been expressly en- dorsed by the commissioners of internal revenue. Mr. Hatch interjected a short speeth to the effect-that every farmer on both sides of the House should sustain the bill on account of the provision permitting the sale of leaf tobacco. Mr. Johnston in- terrupted Mr. Hepburn successfully, Mes- rs, McMillan and Breckenridge spoke brict- ly for the Dill. Messrs. Cabeil, Cowles, Wise, Daniel, and Henderson, having ask- ed unanimous consent to print the remarks leave was granted to all the gentlemen to avail themsclves of the privileze. Daring Mr. Hepburn’s specch in opposition Messrs. Johnston and Cowles of North Carolina, were consider bly excited, and Mr Cowtes shook his fist in the direction of the Iowa enemy of “moonshining.” Mr. Cabell clos- ed the debate inatwominute-speech. Mr. Henderson demand the yeas and nays. The result was 138 yeas and 114 nays. Two thirds not having voted in favor, the bill tailed to pags, und thus the very ghost of a chance even for a record in the House fa- \orable for internal revgnne reform passed from the stage, and the friends of the meas- ure were utterly disgusted with the failure of all their hopes. It is well to say here that for several days there has been no ex- pectation of suceess. A gentleman whose information has usu- ally ben correct says that on the highest authority he can state that General W. R. Cox, of North Carolina, has been offered the position of Inter-State Commerce comniis- sioner, and that he has the matter under advisement. General Cox doubts whether, having favored the measu ¢ in Congress, he ouecht now to accept this position; but he may sce his way by tomorrow to do so and his nearest friends hope he may. ae ee A Noted French Writer.

Mr. Robbins, of Toronto, Cadi is} <now.in this State with headquarters, at Morganton. He is representing a large English corporation, organized to operate in Western North Carolina. He has eon ducted negotiations, and js now engaged in completing others which includé large bodies of forest and mineral lands. These will aggregate a total value: of:property handled of not less. than $802,000. This company is organized for the pur- pose of doing a general mining, lumber and colonizing business. It is not-a part of, nor is it connected with,the Piedmont Lumber Ranch and Mining Co., reported a few weeks since. FLINT KNOB SILVER. The Flint Knob silver mine is in Wilkes county, and has been known as such for some years, though never worked to any extent. It is just coming into notice again. The ore is an auriferous and argentiferous galenite and is probably of sufficient grade to justify manipulation, though the quantity has not yet been proven adequate to extended operations. Parties have, however, recently taken hold and are engoged in opening the pro- perty with a view of determining the probable extent and Value of the ore sup- ply. Should this examination prove suc- cessful, operations may be. expected te continue indefinitely. UWHARRIE MINE, This mine, in Randolph county, was fully described in this paper last fall. Since that time the ten stamp mill has been completed and set to work reducing the ore. It is kept constantly going, but with what results, has not yet been made known. The material is low grade, and abundant. Itis said that it is handled ata remarkably low figure, which is greatly to the credit of the management. Ifthis grade of material can be made profitable, as is probable in this instance, then the value of other low grade ores in the State will be established. This can, however, only be done by practicing the most rigid economy, which seems to be one of the good pointsin the management ofthe Uwharrie. ——r WAKE COUNTY GRAPHITE. Few, even of our own citizens,- realize the magnitude of the graphite deposit in Wake county. It is one of the largest and most valuable deposits in America. Prof. Olinstead, State Geologist in 1824, published in his reports a full description of this plumbago deposit, and among other things said: “The whole formation consists of a great number of parallel beds \a'ying in width from a few inches to twenty feet. They lie in a singular variety of isinglass rock (mtcaceous shistus) usually of a bright cherry red, but some- times of a silvery white color These beds occur throughout a space of not less than three-fourths of a mile wide and ten nileslong. To this extent I have myself observed it; but a land surveyor inform- ed ine that he had followed it cighteen j mites and found its bearing to be south tendegrecs east. * * Ihave never read of any mine of plumbago which can com- pare in extent with this, but have reason to believe that it is the largest mine on record.” Further on in this report refer- ence is had to ‘‘Parker’s Chemical Essays” which were printed at London, England, in 1815. This proves that knowledge of its existence was extant prior to that date, aud establishes the fact that search was made in this State for minerals of all kinds at an early date in our history. Prof. Kerr, in his Geological Report, published in 1875, says: “But the Wake county beds are the most extensive, as well as the best known graphite beds in the State. They extend in a northeast and southwest direction for a distance of sixteen or cighteen miles, passing two and wv half miles west of Raleigh. There are two beds apparently forming a sharp anticlinal. The thickness is twotothree, and occasionally four feet. * * *% Itis a bed of quartzitic and talcoargillacious slates and shales, which are more or less graphitic—from twenty or thirty to sixty per cent.” Some seven miles from Raleigh there are anmnber of old shafts and tunnels, mostly abandoned. At present but one locality on this immense deposit is active. It is under the management of Jas, Blake, who is engaged in supplying Ham- brick & Co., of New York, with certain grades oflead. The output is necessarily sinall—in no way commensurate with the extent of the deposit. Messrs. Cartcr, Tucker, Pullenand othersin Raleigh, own the pick of these graphite beds. The best pugecns is suitable for the manufacture | of pencils, crayons, &c., while the majori- ty of it is good for foundry facings, stove polish, crucibles, furnace linings in other such purposes. Here is a fine opportunity for large operations. The conditions are entirely fuvorable—cheap living, pure water, genial, hcalthy climate, and no labor troubles. —> <a A Busy Night at the Executive Mansion. Washinton, D. C.. March 3.—Last ni.

Chamberling, of 147 Twenty- fourth street, N. Y.osavs: "The Nor- man horses are the finest looking and most attractive; have better action; are quicker stepping horses, and stand their work better than most any other horse. They briny better prices on oar markets.” eG tteon & Son, 210 Eust Wa the Woodfins of ty-fourth street, says: “I handle on my own account between 1500 and 2U00 horses annually. This includes all kinds of horses. I handle a great many of the Norman horses, more of themthan any of any other breed. There is more deivnd for then then of any other breed. They are the best, have the best fect, last longer, and al- ways give satisfaction. They are more compactly built. There is more work in them, and they are better broken. They have better action than the other breeds. [ would advise the farmers and breeders, breecing horses with the view of selling, to breed from the Percheron Norinan horses in prefereuce to any other breed.” CU. & HW. Hayman, of No. 213 and 215 Bact Twenty-fourth street, N. Y., suvs: “We handle about 2000 horses a year, principally draft buases. We handle more of the Norman's than of any others. Have more deurind for them than for other breeds. The people lke them better, and they bring higher rices than the other breeds. They ie the most endurance. ‘he Nor- man horse is more easily broken aud is the best dispositioned horse we have. Norman horses ma ure sooner and are ready for market when much younger than tho:e of any other breed.” A. J. Hineman, of Mansfeld, Onto, says: “Lhandle about 2000 horses a year, principally for the New York market. [ handle moreof the Norman horses because there 1s more dem ind for them and they ere the best for that market.

The lund I found to be best adapted to rice, sugar, corn, and cotton. All our cultivating, ditching, ete., is done by steam power. We take a tract, say half a mile wide. for instance, and place an engine oneach side. The engines are portable, and operate a ca- ble attached to four plows, and under this arrangement we are able to plow | thirty acres aday with only the labor of three men. Oar harrewing, plant- ing, and other cultivation is done in a hike manner; in fact, there is nota sin- gle draught horse on the entire place. We have, herders of cattle, of which we now have 19.000 head. The Southern Pacific Railroad runs for thirty-six miles through our farm.

The engine and three cars went over safely, but the five others fell through the bridge to the road he- neath, a distance of thirty fect. The last car, which was the smoker, turned com- pletely over and struck on top of the others, all being crushed almost out of shape. The cause of the accident is said to have been the breaking of the bridge. It is stated that the bridge where the accident occurred this morning is com- aratively a new one, and that the acci- ent was caused by a truck on one of the cars giving way, causing the car to strike against the abutment of the bridge. ‘The smoking car, after it fell, caught fire, but the fire department was promptly on hand and prevented any spread of the flames. The bodies of the dead have been all re- moved, and of the wounded some are at the hospital and some kave been taken home, so that it ig very difficult to ascer- tain their namesand extent of their in- juries at the present time. Twenty-seven dead bodies have been identificd. There are at the morgue the vodies of three men and two women which 4 remain unidentified, ‘he only person known to have been | | an eye witness of the disaster, who was | Ao Adveriisin}) Tawa. ~~ te 2 not on the train, was John Lennon, a fishy; - The merchants and orher business mcn 0 dealer, whose stable was on a hill. just: above the bridge.

During ull this time, Lennon says, the shricks of the wounded and the greans of the dying made a pandemonium around him. In the meantime the other passengers from the coaches that had remained on top of} the embankment, and who had escaped | serious injury, had joined in the work of | rescue, cuers and surgeaus were at the scene. As the dead were removed they were laid ina row on the stone wall, while the! wounded were laid on cushions which | were hastily gathered together. Ainbu- | lances and hacks had been sent from the ; city within half an hour afier the disaster occurred, and as these conveyances reach- ed the scene, they were at once started | back to the city, laden with dead bound tothe city morgue, or with the injured destined for the hospital. A large num- ber of the injured were also taken to resi- dences in the vicinity, while others were sent to the depots at Forest Hill and Rosindale. Those passengers “ho es- caped serious injury and werc able to pro- ceed were taken to the junction of Forest Hill and then forwarded to their destina- tion in the city proper. Not Proved. The chief argument in the President's message, la which he took positive grounds! avainst the coinage of silver, was based up- gold, If, therefore, the chief macistrate of the na tion was honest in his position and in his view the chief reason tor discoutinumng the coinave of silver was on account of its Wee favorable cffect in creating an exportation of gold, when informed that the importa- tion of this metabin coin and bullion has exceeded the exportation by sbout one mil lion dollars per month, during the past twelve menths, he shoutd im lis very next message entirely Change bis attiude upon this important question, The movement of specie and bullion at | New York shows that the exportation of vold trom this ccuntiy durme the first three weeke in Jen., PS87, was less than it has becn for the past cight years during the same period, ard the importations larger, with one single exception during the same | time. The exports of gold from Jan. 1 to Jan, 21, 18S&7 were $263,050, while the im- ports reached $3,085,128, and on the other hand the movement of silver during the same period was $69,752 to this country and $420,651 exported, showing the cx portation | of silver is largely in the excess of its mn- portations, while the importation of gold ts much larger than the exportation, the ex- act reverse of what has been claimed would result) from the conti: ued coinaye of out silver currency. We ask, in view of the fact that these re sults are verified by official stat sties, ifit is not time to take a sensible view of the currency question and abandon the false and untenable position so long occupied by those who have been determined to obliter ate silver at any cost from our national cur- rency? Not one of the disastrous predic- tions so positively and vehemently prophe- sied by mono metallists has vet becm fulfilled, while on the other hand a iarge per cent, of national prosperity and return of industrial activity, which is felt through every part of the country, is due to the vitalizing in- fluence of the si.ver currency which is ca- verly accepted by the peop'e wh rever a- vailable without unjust discrimination, and which has fulfiled the office and purpese of a circulating medium as thoroughly and satisfactorily as gold or any ot-er factor cf national currency could have done, Indeca, there 8 no reason why one portion of our national legalized currency should not be equal to any other, and those who take any Means to Interfere with its value or its cir- culation, or to prevent is fuifiliine its pur- pose should be dealt with as enemics of the sovernment and the people.

C., March 12, "87. the Comwissioncrs of Rowan for a public road from Third Creek to the County line; near this Stephen , Cowan circulated a petition for the same pur- ‘pose; but by sonre accideut it was lost, and no- | thing was done. A public road between two towns only six miles apart would seem to be an imperative necessity. _Fcould give you a pretty accurate description of the wretched excuse for a country road which ‘the people have been compelled to use. I have | travelled it, on the average, two or three times ‘a mouth during the past 32 years; and the ne- ‘eessity for so doing has beea the bane of my | pleasant duties in Rowan and Iredell counties. | In all my travels, I do not know of any short distance where a public road is more needed. | Fur more is it needed now than it was 10 or 12 {years ago. For Third Creek and Amity Hill : have become towns, since that time; and the business of each, and the travel and hauling be- - tween them, have greatly increased. I thought my wheels were pretty well greased before | started up this way, but yesterday, af- ‘ter I passed Mr. Clarke's, [ soon fonnd one of ‘them had been slighted. It had been silent enough before, on the public read; but now, every once in a while, it would w-h-i-n-e and ‘screech and squall like wildcats and hyenas, ; and sometimes, would groan and howl, like the old fashioned molasses mills, crushing cane through wooden rollers. 1 could tell you of the bad hills to go up and | down, where the road when first made, had to _go around fields, but which are no longer fenced ,and some of them not even cultivated; and , Where a slight turn in a public road would keep ‘iton level ground, I could tell you of sidling places, and of those more sidling. at two. of -which, yesterday, 1 had to jump out for fear of ‘accident. I could tell you of mud that puts ‘harness to the test, and where my owu harness in time past, has given way; where the mud land mud holes are deep; wuere they are still | decper, and where they are the deepest. During ‘the past winter your paper had some notice ot ; bad ruads. But let me tell you, Mr. Editor, Dee. | 13th, I passed over this road trom Amity Hill to Third Creck; before Christmas I crossed Rowan, passing near Gold Hill; 1 crossed Stanly, part |of Montgomery, Richmond, Cumberhtud and Sampson, as far as Clinton, and { have returned through the same counties; and camparutcvely, | I have scen uo really bad road until yesterday, ' March Lith, I found myself coming back agato | from Third Creek to Amity Hill.

I thought of getting Western howan , set off as a new county, with the county seatat | Third Creek, when a good road would have to {be made. | thought of the overhead railroads in New York city. and IT woudered if any struc- ture overhead could be made here for ordinary ! use, above all the mud aud above all the hills!

Eighteen car loads of irdn piping fer- our Water Works have arrived, and the work of laying the pipes will begin this week. Mr. Burlingame, who is engineer and superintendent of the company, is exerciving great care in reference to the quality of the water to be supplied, and iu this direction will probably abandon the purpose of tapping Grant's Creek, having, as he thinks, found far more de- sirable water within the same distance of town. The contract requires ine work to be finished by the lst of June, so that we may expect it to be pushed with great energy, when once fairly begun. It is almost useless to say what every one ad- mits, that this will bea great thing for Salisbury—greater by far than most of her citizens are now aware of. More water has been the crying need of the town through all her past history. In ordinary times there was uo distressing scarcity, ut whenever fire happened to break out, we were at the mercy of the flames for the lack of water. And yet, it may be truly said, that it required an inte ligent and couragcous Board of Comuissiviers to take up this subject in a truly business way. Other Boards, through many years, had talked about doing something to supply the pressing need, but it gener- ally ended in talk, for noneofthem were ever willing to take the responsibility or had the courage of their convictions on the subject. True, none of them existed at a time when the prospecta of the town were so bright, as within the last two or three years, or when the danger of delay involved the risk of so much valuable property Nor, indeed, had the public mind matured on the subject; so that af- ter all, former Boards were not seriously at fault by their delay. They did make at least one feeble attempt, which, bad it proved equal to the wants of the town at that time, would be quite ina equate now.

These are the “city fathers” to whom citizens are indebted forthe most praise- worthy effort ever yet made to put the town on a good solid basis. Their ad- ministration of public affairs generally has been first rate throughout, and chal- lenges the closest scrutiny. Public ser- vants should receive cordial recognition for their faithfulness. The good words “well done” is not less their due than it is the duty and the pleasure of the public to award them. We have Leen informed that this Bonrd will pay off all claims against the town before the expiration of their term, and that there will be suffi- cient funds in the treasury to mect the first payment on the Water Works, the first of next June.

C, Brewer Mie. < This excellent property,in Unien coun-. ty, is paying very well considering the amount invested in the plant. They are only working a five-stamp mill, but they bave as superintendent, Mr. Motz, who is one-of the most careful, practical men engaged in mining in the South. He has fully demonstrated his ability to place the Brewer among he foremost producing mines of the country. Unfortunately he has not suffi- cient financial strength to enable him to bring out the best results, yet he deserves T with the present meagre equipment. HEMBY MINE. The Hemby 8 also in Union counts and is running a ten-stamp mill, which 15 iurning out fairly well. ‘There is a large -uantity of good grade ore on the proper- ty, but sume difliculty is experienced in saving the gold. The trouble is by no tneans a new one in the State, and the matter should be looked after before the money gives out. Would it not be well to closely concentrate the sulphides and ship them to the Yadkin Chlommation Works at Salisbury? The -treatment there is reliable and the charges moder- ate. HOWIE MINE, Work at the Howie mine is being push- ed vigorously under the management of Mr. W. R. Reeve, of Boston. They are using the ‘‘Wisewell’ mill, which is favorably thought of by some will men. In fact, the company will put in. another mill of this kind in a short time. Mr. Witherell, of Colorado, has lately arrived, and will take temporary charge of the milling. He is said to have had large experience with the ‘‘Wisewell mill’’ in reducing ores in the west, and claims that they are superior to Stamps in every way. This will be newsto many mill men in North Carolina—but if they can accom- plish all that he claims for this mill, it will be to the interest of mining men to visit the Howie in Union county, and learn anew the lesson of ‘how to reduce ore.” ISENHOUR MINE. The native owners of the Isenhour nine, in Cabarrus county, but in theGold Hill group, are working that property at a profit. They have only a chillian mill —a one-horse mill at that—yet they keep grinding the fine brown ore from near the surface. With this limited amount of work they turn out vot less than $20 per day, and accomplish itat a remarkably small outlay. They are, by this means, opening the property, adding to its value and increasing the amouut of concentra- ting ore on the dump, The great mass of the ore is an aurifer- ous sulphide and the gold cannot be per- fectly extracted without smelting or chlorinating. The material suitable for these purposes is carefully saved. Seven days work on this little milf has turued out 141 dwt. of tluxed gold. The proper- ty will in all probability be worked onan extensive scale soon. During the sum- mer an extended plant may be set up. SHUFORD GOLD MINE. The Shufurd gold mine, in Catawba county, has long been known as a pro- ducer. For years it has been worked as a placer mine, in fact, operations of that character only ceased abuut two years since, When the sediment from the oft used water completely filled the pond, thus cutting off the water supply. Supt. Hyser has, since that time, turn- ed his attention to the study of the aurifer- ous quartz veins which abound on the property. Many of these have been found—some cf considerable size. The company has recently instructed bina to put down a new shart for deep wining— Wireb oprobaidy opeace oG0 of 200 tet deep {iis auction tas been taken afier nacure Genveraiion end a patient inves- tigaden of the reports submitted by the superintendent.

PLACEB MINE S0LD. It is reported that the Ransom Bridge property, in Warren county, has gone into the possession of English capitalists for the sum of $150,000 This amount ol money should pay for a very good pre- perty. LAND TRANSFER. It is stated upon good authority that something more than 30,000acres of land, lying in Watauga and other counties ip the Western part of the State, has been sold to Baltimore capitalists. There is said to be alarge deposit of manganese on the property. oes Zeb Items. Zeb, March 15, 1887. Ed. Watchman :—The Farmers Club met Thursday night (March 17).

Look at her garments, Clinging like cerements : Whilst the wave constantly Drips from her clothing. Take her up instantly, Loving, not loathing. Touch her not scornfully, Think of her mournfully, Gently and humanly : Not of the stains of her, All that remains of her Now, is pure womanly. Make no deep serutiny Into her mutiny Rash and undutiful ; Past all dishonor, Death has left on her Only the beautiful. Still for all slips of hers, One of Eve's family. Wipe those poor lips of hers, Oozing so clammily ; Loop up her tresses [escaped from the comb, Her fair auburn tresses, Whilst wonderment guesses Where was her home ? Wino was her father? Who was her mother ? Had she a sister? Had she a brother ? Or was there a dearer one Still, and a nearer one Yet, than all other? Alas! for the rarity Of Christian charity Under the sun! Oh! it was pitiful! Near a whole city full, Home she had none. Sisterly, brotherly, Fatherly, motherly Feelings had changed; Love, but harsh evideice, Thrown from its eminence ; Even God’s providence Seeming estranged. Where the lainps quiver So far in the river, With many a light From window and casement, From garret to busement, She stood, with amazement, Ifouscless by night. The bleak wind of Mareh Made her tremble and shiver, But not the dark arch, Or the black flowing river: Mad from life’s history, Glad to death’s inystery, Swist to be hurl’d— Anywhere, anywhere, Oat of the world! In she plunged boldiy, No matter how coldly The rough river ran,— Over the brink of it, Picture it, think of it, Dissolute man! Lave in it, drink of it, Then, if you can!

Fre her limbs frigidly Stitfen too rigidly, Decently,—kindly ,— Smooth and compose them ; Anda her cyes, close them Staring so blindly! Dreadfully staring Through muddy impurity, As when with the daring Last look of desparing Fixed on futurity. Perishing gloomily, Spurred by contumely, Cold inhuinanity, Burning insanity, Into her rest. Cross her hands humbly, As if praying dumbly, Over her breast !

On March 8rd Speaker Carlisle recognized Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina, who offered his resolution relieving the to- bacco growers of the tax on leaf tobae- co and making the restrictions upon the manufacture of distilled spirits and fruit braudy lees rigid. When the resolution was submitted to the House two hundred and fifty-one votes were cast, as follows: For the resulution : Democrats, 131; | Republicans, 8. Against the resolution: Democrats, 5; Republicans, LO7, Among those voting for the resolution were such tariff re- formers as Morrison, Tucker. Mills and the two Breckenridges.

The elevator shaft served as a flue for ibe Himes and they rushed up it to tae tup of iluor ia a very few minutes. As the guests were roused and saw the Interior exit cut off they turned to the Windows. They could be seen in their night clothes standing out clear and vivid before the lurid beckground of the flames. Their screams were horrible to hear.

At 6 o'clock the spread of the tire was cheexed. The ground floor was oc- cupled by the reading room and. the oliive of the hotel. ‘Lhe corner oceu- pied by the Costin clothing house was to have been titted up as the office in May. Nothing of the hotel building is left standing, except a portion of the walls. Most of the guests made narrow es- capes from death, perhaps the most THRILLING ESCAPE of any was thet of Press Whitaker, stepson Of proprietor Stafferd. He roomed in the fifth story, and when a- roused, stepped to the window and look- liberately armed himself and emerging from the window, stood on the stone base below the window, from this eap- ping he stepped to the next one along the front of the building, and proceed- ed in this manner to the Hayes truck ladder at the extremity of the front. The move and coolness was remarka- ble. L. E. Smith, of Brooklyn and A. G. Clay, of Philadelphia, had a most re- markably expertence. They were in adjoining rooms on the fifth floor and tell about the same story. Mr. Clay was aroused by the ring of the electric fire bell and got up. He pressed his finger on the butter, wondering what was wrong, but the bell continued ring- ig. He went to bed again for a min- ute or so and got up a second time to try to stop the noise. It then dawned upon him that something was wrong. By this time the pleee was beginning to blaze funously. He found the stair- Ways cut off and took to the window, but he and Mr. Smith barely reached Bunneli’s Museum room, when they looked back and saw FIVi GIRLS IN THE FIFTH STORY WINDOWS. They had tied the bedclothing into a rope which hung out but none of them seemed to have the courage to start. At last one of the five took hold and swung down toa window ledge from from which she was assisted by Messrs Clay and Smith. Three others came down in the same manner and then the fifth girl started down. She had almost completed the distance When the regpe parted and down she went the four sto- ries to the ground, but strange to see she was not killed. Her legs were ter- ribly cut and bruised, her back badly injured and her fce and arms were in a frightful condition from burns. She lay moaning upon a lounge at the op- era house begging to be sent home. Amoxg the guests at the hotel were TWENTY-FIVE INSURANCE MEN who had come to adjust the losses on the Miller & Greiner, and Courier fires. Toey are all accounted for.

WATCHING A bRor YEARS AND OP WATER eA HALE: EIGHT [From the London Telegraph]. Rev. Dr. Dallinger, president of the Royal Microscopic Society, recently de- livered an address which gives an ex- ample of the admirable and unceasing devotion shown by our best scientific men. After dwelling on certain re- cent Improvements in the construction of lenses, the president, on the occasion referred to, proceeded to describe a series Of experiments which he bas conducted for nearly ten patient and faithful years. Long ago Darwin expressed the opinion that if he would actually observe and deatonstrate the manner ain which living creatures adapt themselves, by inward and out- ward modifications, to changed cireum- stances, and so produce what are called new species, it must be by watching the lowest and least visible organisms. To such a task Dr. Dallinger set him- self. His project was to place and keep under his lenses several varieties of those minute wmonads, which are incessantly multiplying by fissure or j division, and which are nearly at the; bottom of animated nature. The gen- erations of these creatures succeed each other about every fonr minutes ; so that in the course of an hour he can view the passage of fourteen or fifteen generations, which would an- swer to something like £50 years of human history, while a day of monad- ic existence would represent more than 10,000 of our years. These moras live in- water, and by connecting the drop that serves them for a habitable and roomy ocean with the ingeaius apparatus of Prof. Schfer, the tem) er- ature of this drop can be either kept constant or raised very slowly and with absolutely steady precision. — Here, therefore, were the conditions requisite for gradually altering the climate in which these monads throve; and, if it could be proved that such tiny infusora could indeed be slowly accustomed to changes gre iter than would be suffered by animals removed from the equator to the pole, then bright and_ trustwor- thy light would be cast on the modifi- eations of life which we see arrived at on the earth, and Darwin's great law would be largely removed from theory to recorded fact. To carry out so very delicate an investigation, howevye~, it would have to be proicnged for months, and even years, iu order ty imit.te the immense deliberation with = wich nature her e'f accomplishes every sulj- stantial change in her h ghe-t produc- their loss at nearly $40,000, with an in-| condition of existence. The slightest accident to the apparatus might m one moment iender the whole experiment void, and leave the drop of water as lifeless as these islands would be if an- other glacial period suddenly arrived. The only reward, on the shen hand, for succeseful and almost inconceivable perseverence would be the discovery of truth, and the re-inforcement of Dar- Win’s sublime generalization. But, for the sake of these, which always satisfy the noble ardor of science. Dr. Dallin- ger has given as many years of his life as was spent by the Greeks in the seige of Troy, and has apparently won a scientific victory, the value of which is as signal as his ingenuity and devotion are adinirable. We will endeavor briefly to describe the method and the outcome of his most remarkable experiments. The group of microscopic monads were put under the lens im a well fitted water cell at their usual temperature of 60 deg. Fahr., the apartment, the aparatus and all around being carefully kept in precise unison. The doctor then spent the first four months of his observation in rusing the temperature time after time by stages less than one sixth of a degree, until his swarm of protozoa had reached the new and advanced reading of 70 deg. Fahr. The change, nevertheless, had no more disturbed them than that experienced by a Brit- ish family when it emigrates from London to Cape town; the life history of each group remained unaltered; they moved, gyrated, fed and split themselves into new individuals in just the same manner and within much the same periods as before. When, how- ever, three nore degrees had been add- ed to the 70, the monads showed signs of being decidedly inconvenienced. They were not as lively nor as as produc- tive as formerly; yet, by keeping them exactly at this range during two quiet months, they regained their full vigor and might be compared to emigrants Who had become seasoned by surviving the first hot spell in a tropical country. They could not stand— by gradual steps of increase-—the enhanced heat of 78 degrees, which was reached at the com- mencement of the twelfth month. Yet here, again, a long pause was found to be necessary; the new generations of | those silver specks of life under the glass were not all alike stroug enough to live and thrive. © What answers to sunstrokes and fever with us had caus- ed vacant spices to appear in the water drop, and it was only when the monads showed themselves once more lively and prolific by a long era of repose that the carefal doetor administered a further dose of caloric. During eight years and a halt did he thus slowly and unwearledly proceed in the saine course, augmenting the heat of their surround- ing element now and then by slow and slight additions, pausing afterwards for niouths to give the minute creat- ures time to accommodate themselves When signs were visible that they were under difliculties, and always going forward to new trials of endurance wh.n they had recovered. In this manner, after all those years, Dr. Da'linger brought his small patients to the astomshing range of 150 degrees FPabronboit, at which the latest genera- tion appeacd “as jolly as sand boys.” It is 1.0t possible to say how much farther their tiny constitution could aive been trained to defy increasing warmth, because the research wes at this pomt accidently terminated; but it wili be seen that the doctor had brought the httle people of his drop- world to sustain a heat nearly 100 de yrees higher than the flourishing point vf their ancestors, and species of which, if taken at the beginning, would have been completely and instantaneously killed in water of 140 degrees. When we have added that these minute salamanders perished directly they were pat back into the ancestral medium of 65 degrees, it will be manifest that the indefatigable doctor had, by the magic of science, effected a miracle of nature almost as striking as if the protococous navilis, which stains the Arctic snow with crimson, had been transformed into the great grasses and feathery bamboos which clothe the burning sides of a mountain under the equator. —-- Ds - The Cardi? giant has been sold in Texas for S32, INFORMATION ON NE ES MANY PERSONS at this season suffer from seither Headache, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Pains in the Limbs, Back and Sides, Bad Blood, ‘ Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Malaria,Constipation £ Kidney Troubles. <+—VOLINA CORDIAL CURES RHEUMATISM, Bad Blood and Kidney Troubles, by cleansing the blood of all its fiupuritics, strengthening all parts of the body. ~+—VOLINA CORDIAL CURES SICK-HEADACHE, Neuralgia, Pains in the Limbs, Back and Sides, by touing the nerves and strengthening the muscles, ~+—VOLINA CORDIAL CURES DYSPEPSIA, Indigestion and Constipation, by aiding the assim- llating ofthe Food through the proper actien of the stomach ; it creates a healthy appetite. <+—VOLINA CORDIAL CURES NERVOUSNESS, Depression of spirits and Weakness, by exlivem ing and toning the system, +—VOLINA CORDIAL CURES OVERWORKED and Delicate Women.

The Hard Work of Some Wives. Farmers’ wives in America are the most moral people in the world. They ure religious, too. They’ have a fair education, now-a-days, ‘and they live where the air is fresh and water pure. They ought to be as fresh as daisies, and live long and happily; but, alas! their kind, good faces fade early. They lose their complexion and their figures, while their city relatives, who sit up half the night, breathe gas and furnace heated air and take no special care of themselves, keep amazingly young and bright and lively. City “wives live longer, too; for one farmer gener- ally contrives to be a widower two or three times in the course of his exis- tence. _ There must be a reason for all this; in fact, there are many reasons. Too much work and too little play; insuffi- cient help; families so large that in themselves they are enough to oceupy one woman's energies and her whole time. Alas ! a new baby every year or two; a dozen children, all told; come into the life of a farmer's wife without lessening her other work atall. While taking care of the new baby and doing the house work she saves little Jimmy from being tossed by the mad bull, fishes little Billy out of the well, shows little Katty how to lace up her shoes, binds up the cut on little Fanny's hand, takes her slipper to little Kliphalet, helps Samuel out of the green apple treeand gives him something for the dreadful pain under his apron, puts up lunch for the three who go to school, and hears Hiram say his examination lesson. She doesn’t mind such little things as these, nor getting water out of the patent well that has a spring which generally upsets the water over her | feet; but she does feel it when the wood is in whole logs and he has forgotten tosplit the kindlings —until she gets used to it. She whitewashes her whole house Spring and Fall, and that is the time his relations choose to come and spend a week. Young cousins come, with lots of finer “to help,” and spend their time flirting with any young men who are handy, and come in to eat up the pie and sweetmeats. And then comes in another care of the farmer's wife. She cannot go toa grocery and buy sweet things, and sweet things are eaten in vast quanti- ties on country tables. So she must do preserves throughout the warm weath- er, until she almosts melts away, and as ausual thing, she sews carpet rags in the twilight. or Thanksgiving! 1 thin breaks siti the mothers more oe thing else which ha to them.

Of course, some of this is inevitable, but miny a farmer, with money it the bank, would keép his wife—the ‘wife he really loves, when he has time #0 think about it—and keep her fresh and comely, too, if he would give decent wages to strong, capable young ser- vants, who would lighten her ‘labor, and give her time to bring into her life’ those intellectual pleasures for which she often pines in vain. Even from a mercenary point of view it is false economy to make a good wife a mere beast of burden. Yet man farmérs do it unawares.— New Yar Ledger. ——————20e How Milk is Made. American Dairyman. The secret of how a cow secretes her milk is an interesting matter of specu- lation. It is generally supposed that she makes it during the day, and has it all ready to be delivered at night wh the muilker calls for it: that is, he has the niilk already made and stoweg away in her udder. The surpsise often oc- when a cow with a small udder gives a large quantity, while the one with a small bag gives much less milk. This is usualy ac- counted for by alleging that one bas a fleshy bag, while the other has an_ud- der extending up into the body. Now we have it said that the cow really se- cretes her milk at the time she is being milked, at least to a certain extent. Prof. Ballentine says many animals have no milk reservoirs, the lactiferous ducts being connected directly with the milk vesicles, so that no considerable a- mount of milk can be carried ready formed. Such, he says, is the case with the human female, and the larger por- tion of the milk must be secreted while the child is at the breast. This is why No musing for her—not even a long rest, with the new baby on her should- er, in the rocking-chair on the porch. She must up and atit. In time the girls help her, but she knows the wo- man’s lot before them, and saves them | all she can “while they are young.” | Half the time they never appreciate her sweet unselfishness until they are mothers themselves and she is at rest. | Still they do not help.

The alarming disease cf this country is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under inany names but it is essen- tially the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu- tions for nervous patients are crowded. ‘The average of life in the United States is de- creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our Iusiness, profess- ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sul- cides, committed without ap- parent reason, or under so-called “depression of spir.ts,’ are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful source of insanity and cyime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They sssail the springs of its power and pros- perity. They wreck manhood’s strength and woiunn’s useful- ness anc beauty. Every one should know the causes. Whatare they’ The answer is easy aud terribly plain: Our vicious personal Pabite ; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in- tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence ; the fears and struggles of pov- erty; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour’s pleasure or success, So we burn life’s candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng- lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim- ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or des- troyed, the whole body, nerves included, is diterally starved ; even When there is no emaci- ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings :—headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; wakefulness ; loss of appetiteand disgust with food ; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx- iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; fou) mucous on the teeth: oceasional giddiness; palpitation of the heart; sal- lowness of the .skin; coated tongue end gradual failure of strength and ambition, The remedy is a total aban- donment of the habits and cus- toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shuker Extract of Roots (Seigel’s Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. This creat remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb- anon, N. Y., is especially adapt- ed to eradicate Nervous Dys- pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power- fully upon the disordered stom- ach, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, pro- moting the secretion of Ile, ex- peMing waste matters from the system,and purifying the blood. Upon the nervous system Shaker Extract(Seigel’sSyrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat- ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition. It is safe to say more nerv- ous dyspeptics have been re- stored by it from the depths of misery to a fresh enjoyment of life and labor than by any or all other forms ef treatmers con.}ined.

We recently suggested a problem for solution — the defense’ of New York Harbor, and destruction of a fleet at- tacking it, all operations to be com- prised within thirty days. A) number of commmunications have been received in reference to this subject, but very few of the writers have fully appre- ciated the conditions. The — thirty day limit has been generally over- looked. One writer describes a gunboat with turrets, protected by rollers, inteuded to deflect the balls. | Another proposes submarine boats. Warlous more or less elaborate plans for establishing fortifi- cations are suggested. Some plans suf- ficiently novel and ingenious may be espectully noted. The utilization of the oil stored in darge quantity about eur city is proposed. Pipes are to be laid under the waters of the harbor and bay, and are to Le provided with open jets. On the approach of a hostile Heet, oil is to be forced out through the proper lines of pipe, so as to confront or surround the invader with floating By fire boats or projectiles, the oil Asea of fire is) thus is to be iwnited. ‘produced, through which it my cer- tainly be doubted if a fleet could pene- Asa vartiition on this plan, the substitution for the oil in sucha system of pipes of gas, natural or manufactur ‘The air surrounding the could be charged with enough gas to form an explosive iix- ture, which would iemite from the boiler fires of the ships themselves. Gu also would and be epsible the crews, if it attacn- vessels is Overcome ee t.CE Vik board | N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1887 ed such proportions in the atmosphere. The barges and other such vessels, some writers suggest, should be leaded: with stone and sunk an each side of the channel, so as to narrow it. The chan- nel thus narrowed could be filled with torpecoes. A fleet entering the harbor would necessarily come directly over them, and could then be blown up. A circular floating battery rotated by the tangential discharge of water, and car- rying combined wood and steel turrets, is another suggestion. But as will be seen from this resume, the full problem has not been grappled with. The port of New York was to be assumed in its present condition. Within thirty days the defense was to be organized, only the material availa- ble on such short notice being employ- ed. This includes the fleet of harbor and river vessels of every type, the scows and floats of the larger sizes, tug boats, and even canal barges..., Extem- porized torpedo systems might be pro- vided. Neithershould it be forgotten that we are but a few hours from Pitts- burg, with its supplies of iron and steel, and that timber in eudlcss quantity could be sent down the Hudson River. With these existing resources, we be- | lieve much could be done within the stipulated time. What we wished to elicit Was an organized plan for utiliz- ing these ready resources only. Now, owing to the action of Con- gress in providing large appropriations, it seems probable that the creation of a navy is but a question of a few years for us. The action of this Congress will doubtless influence its successor, and soon the United States may be a rival of England in the production of ironclad ships of war and torpedo boats, Scientific American. > How Postal Cards are Made. | To follow the process of making the postal cards one has only to climb up to the highest building on the hill, where in a back room, a crowd of girls sort the rags that have just come in from the different rag collectors. The girls cut off all the buttons, take oft | the buckles, and sort out the rags. The sorted rags are placed ino a chopping machine which treats them like sausage meat, and after making the old dresses and trousers into squares and triangles, too small for even a baby’s crazy quilt, it whiffs them into ancther machine, | where the dust is shaken out of them land they are cleaned. © From = that on j the life of the rags is a succession of baths an chloride of lime and other bleeching and cleansing chemicals, with occasional visits to vats and rips | through sets of sharp knives and fine jtoothed rollers. © Finally the many colored rags come out in a nice white omush that looks ike thin flour paste. This is shaken over wire to get the |) water out of it, and put through a few comes out as postal-card paper. At the end of the long rolls that have been squeezing it dowh thin enough and putting the pale gloss on it the long sheet of postal-card paper, several yards wide, is either eut up into sheets 21x80$ inches, as it is rolled up, four postal-cards wide, to be put on the automatic presses that print) from a roll. Each sheet will soon be forty postal-cards. When the paper has heen calendered it is taken from. the paper-nill, a few feet, to the postal- card factory. In the big room of the postal-card factory are a dozen men, two dozen girls, a large Campbell press, four small cutters and a big cutter, stack of boxes, large tables, and a web of gearing and belts overhead. The sheets are taken to the press, where two feeders feed forty-one a minute— 1,760 postal cards every sixty seconds. The postal-cards are printed from steel plates so hard that there is not a file in the factory than will make an impres- sion on then. — Hach card has a sepa- rate steel plate, and the eighty that are needed to make the impressions on the two sheets are wedged in the end of the press. The plates come from Wash- ineton, and Jast two years without re- newal. The sheets of postal-cards are carried from the press a few fect ty the fecders, who are women with long experience at their work. They are paid 414 cents per 100,000, and can feed from 500,- OW) to 600,000 a day. The sheets as they come to the feeders have previous- ly been eut into long slips one card wide and ten long. ‘Phe women feed them through another cutter that. turns them out separate cards. Thiree virls take the cards from one feeder, one girl counts then to see that twenty- five are in each package, and the other two put paper binders around the pack- In a press a feeder feeds donble, or two sheets aba time, and can teed four sheets at a time. After leaving the girls at the fecding mechines the postal eards are ins bun- les ready for sale, just as they look im acountry postofice. But before ship- ment they are boxed. Twenty pack- ages of twenty-five each are put ina pasteboard box that by contract must be mushin bound, Five girls put on the mushin binding and are paid tif- teen cents for binding 100) boxes. Other girls take the packeg-s of ecards and put themin the boxes. which are then ready for shipment. No sinaller orders than 500 are filled. Orders of 10,000 and over are pat up in wooden cases, the largest single package being box that holds 20.000 cordis-- WW. Yui aves, Suit. | WONDERFUL, IF RELIABLE. A Process Which will Revolutionize the Art of Steel Toolmaking. Washington, March 24.—Two Ker- tuckians—ore of them a blacksmith— recently called at the Navy Depart- ment and announced that they had discovered a process of treating steel which, if their claims are borne out by the facts, will practically revolution- ize the art of steel toolmaking. They did not divulge the nature of the inven- tion further than to intimate that it related to the chemical bath in which the tool is immerged in the tempering process. The callers asserted that by their method of treatment the com- monest grades of metal, such as shear matter of hardness and toughness, as to fully equal the best grades of toul steel. An ordinary pair of cheap cast-steel scissors eould be treated, without dis- connecting the blades, so as to cut and hold an edge as well as the best English tool shears. An’ experiment was made on the blade of Secretary Whitney's pocket- knife, with the result that it was pos- sible to cut or whittle an ordinary steel key without apparent injury to the blade. Moreover, the results of the treatment are asse.ted to be so under control that it 1s possible to temper steel to any degree of hardness or toughness that may be required by the use for which it is intended. So impressed was the Secretary by the claims of the inventors that, after con- sultation with the chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, he decided to permit the process to be tested experimentally at the Washington navy-yard. © Commo- dore Sicard accordingly ordered speei- men bars of steel to be prepared, and and the experiments have already be- gun. a 0 2 Xenophon. Xenophon was an Athenian who kr- ed about four hundred and fifty yerurs before Christ. He was a celebrated general, historian and philosopher. He was a learner at the school of Socrates, and counted as one of the most gifted desciples. The life and the teaches of tlfe great philosopher haye been giv- en to us by the writings of Xenopbon, Fand his sober and practical style gives a good idea of the original. Quontiliana, a Roman orator and critic says of Xen- ophon: “The Graces dedicated his lan- guage, and the Goddess of persuasion dwelt upon his lips.” His style was pure and sweet, anal he seems to have been a man of elegant tastes and amacible disposition as webb as of extensive knowledge of the workd. Perhaps his greatest exploit as a gen- eral was the leading of the Greek truops across the mountain ranges and the plains of Asia Minor, This was after the battle of Cunaxa, where the youne- er Cyrus was defeated and slain. Xen ophon had joined this expedition against ithe brother of Cyrus, Artaxerxes Men- /omon, with ten thousand Greek troops. Atter the defeat many of the Greek leaders were treacherously murdered in the Persian camp. The Greeks were al- most in despair, They were two thor- sand miles away from home, sarromnded hy enemies, and the only way or retreat lay across mountain ranges, deep and rapid rivers and broad deserts. It seemed as if fatigue and starvation, and the hostility of those whom they must encounter would effectually pre- vent their return to their native Jand, but Xenophon roused them from their i despondency, rallied the forees, and they began to march. It wasa time of great suffering, for they had literally to fight their way. but when they reached a Grecian city, after uytold per- il, it was found that of the ten thou- sand led forth, eight thousand six hun- dred still remained. Daring the latter part of his life at Cormith, having been expelled from Athens, though the decree of banish- ment owas revoked, he never re- turned, This literary work was perform- ed during these later years. Of all his writings, his Anibasis has been pro- nounced the most remarkable. [It is a work giving an account of the nations of the interior of Asia Minor, and of the Persian empire and its government. He died at Corinth, in his minetieth Vee.

But the gre.test of all is the great wall of Uhina, which crests the iountain range and creases the ee om a ar : aay miles away. ueeging throug p gor, and a deep rift in the solid rook, S ant by ages of rolling wheels and tramping feet, we reach the great, frowning, double bastioned gate of stone and hard burned brick—one archway tumbled in. This was the object of our mission, the great wall of Uhina, built two hundred and thirteen years before this era; built of well hewn stone, laid in regular courses some twenty teet high and then ‘topped out with hard burned bricks, ‘filled in with earth and closely paved on the toy with more dark tawny brick . —the ramparts high and thick and cas- tellated for the use of arms. Right land left the great wall sprang far up the mountain side—now straight, now curved, to meet the moantain ridge, ‘turreted each three hundred feet—a ‘frowning uss of masonry, No need ‘to tell you of this wall: the books will tell you how it was built to keep ‘the warlike Tartars out—twenty five ‘nor that, in the main, the material used upon it is just as good and firm and strong as when pnt in place. Twelve huadred miles of this givantic work built on the rugged, craggy mountain tops, vaulting over gorges, spanning wide streams netting the river arch- ways with huge hard bars of copper, with double gates, with swinging doors and bars set thick with iron armor—a wonder in the world before which the old time classic seven wonders, all goue mow save the great pyramids, were toys. The great pyramids have &5,00U.Q00 eubic feet, the great wall 6330000000 eubac feet. An engineer in Stewart's party here some years ago gave it as his opimon that the cast of this wall, tig- wing labor at the sume rate, would more than equal that of all the 100,000 mikes of railroad in the United States. The material it contains would build a wall six feet high and two feet thick night straight around the globe. Yet this was dome in uly twenty years without a trace of debt orbond. [tis the great- est individual labor the world has ever known. What the Old South Lost. Prof. Kost, who is conducting a geo- logical survey of Florida, is making rsoume very remarkable discoveries. The professor has made a report in which he takes the position that Flor- ula was not always a mere peninsula. ' Ages ago there was mo Mexican gulf. Krom what is now the northern and eastern shore of the gulf an area of Fland stretched over the Antilles all the way to Venezucla. The theory of the geologist is that this tract of land rest- et on no very solid foundation. Upon inmumerible coral columns, sea weed, cyafit. wood, and nonel and sad fro the lulls of Georgia and? Alabama, washed and loved for huudreds of years, grad- ualby forming “a lake of lakes, moras- ses, sand beds, subterranean nvers and ehomnous springs, ebbing and flowing +with the tides of ocean.” Concerning the inhabitants and deni- zens of this prehistoric land little is known. ‘Fossil _ revelations suggest enough to satisfy the wildest imagina- tion. Prof. Kost says: On the borders of these waters of bays and rivers there yrazed a unique monster, semi-reptile fish, allied to the present manates, but vastly larger, and which existed in immense herds. Ina great bay that extended up northward, j between the Ockloekonee and Sope- hoppy rivers, these monsters—also at- ather eoaster, the charcharodon— exist a i anes og, Bemneres sO bee now there are depths of phosphate. i thexe exceedingly Bek in ph Saas acids, all afforded by marine and am- ibian animals.

But the times were turbu- lent, as these bones were broken’ in great fragments, there seldom bei pieces of more than two or three,por weight. In Alachua county, y in the south thereof, there was a rich savanna, herded by the rhinoceros, mastodon, camel, horse, ox, lama and goat. Among these were parperng in the tangles of chapparal, cactus, palms and divers vines, a fierce species of the lion, and a variety of the leopard, tiger and hyena, that were ever watching for their prey among the smaller of the laud animals. A very large bear also , J } was common. ‘feet high by forty thick, twelve hun-| dred years it kept these hordes at bay, | Bat an earthquake period made a wreck of this beautiful land. Shocks and volcanic eonvulsions shattered the platean, sending the fragments into the sea, and leaving a few mountainous islands and the projecting strip now known as Florida So much for what was perhaps the fairest portion of the: old South ages apor ages ago. Pcrhaps a great civilization went down in the Feenerad wreck. Possibly the ruins of stately cities strew the bottom of the Mexican gulf.

Knights of Tan Whenever the wanicipal election has , come up asa tépic of conversation it hax almost always elicited. the remark | that the Knights of Labor ate oppésed™ to the re-election of the present Board of Commissioners. Without knowing whether this #s true or false, the in- quiry is very natural, why it should be so. The Knights of Labor as citizens of the town are interested in having the affairs of the tuwn administered with wisdom and discretion. As tax yers they should desire to see the eee of the town honestly handled, aud disbursed to the best interest of the community. It is supposed they do wot pretend to possess, over intelligent citizens not of their order, superior nnowledge or discernment in respect tu publig: affairs. If they do, they sould show it, and if possible, lead their fellow citizens to act with them. Lney should constitute each member of the Order a preacher of righteousness and send him out under the commis- sion of the Order to open the eyes of the blind, and break the strong delu- MARCHE 31, -~ ( apiece = 2 | of this State. judices of the negroes, the repubhes H VES, P fe rE ee 4Thd republicam party u hegro to acéompiish their political pur poses. We all have seen this done at every election. since the-negro was made a voter. They have been uni- formly led against the denioeratic party, which it is well known, consti- tutes the great body of white people By appeals to the pre- ead them to, support a pare w never hus nor ever will do them any good. And now, it is suggested, that the republicans expect to lead the Knights of Labor m the same way. The work is to be done im the secret meetings of the Order, if done at all. The members are to be concentrated uider the teachings of republican apostles passing in the guise of Knights of Labor, in opposition to the demo- cratic party. It is u bold experiment, and it remains to be scen whether dem- ocratic Knights can be used by artful politicians to forsake life-long princi- ples and be folded into the republican correl, like so many sheep in a pen. a A touching appeal for subscriptions comes from New York. ‘The object 1s to make a national gift of a diamond belt to John L. Sullivan, the champion bruiser. The belt is to be made of aions of their fellow citizens and lead them-in the right way. If, however, they do uot pretend to have superior knowledge, but really feel an equal in- terest with other citizens in the welfare of the town, and are willing to act with them in promoting the general welfare, it should concern them to show it, and one of the wiys in which they might do so, is by denouncing the rumor of their opposition. Why should they hesitate? Why seem at enmity with those who are not Knights? They are citizens in common, and in that relation should permit no cause of alienation when the good of the town is the ob- ject to be sought by all. fe Day Changed. It will be observed that the day for holding the town meeting for nomina- ting a ticket for town olticers has been changed to the Sth of April. - The sub- stantial citizers of the town should at- tend this meeting and give it the con- cern due to so important a subject. Our individual preference is to nomi- nate the present Board. They have designed and commenced important ublic works and should be retained to ush them to completion. No other oard could feel the same degree of in- terest in them nor be as well qualified to finish them up. It is seldom we have had a Board which has bestowed more thought on public affairs or man- ed them with more intelligent zeal. , we have many as good men as they, but it is not probable that we have many who can, or would, abstract their minds from present pursuits and turn them into the channel of public service with the facility and effective- ness as.those who now compose the municipal corps. —_ ~~ The Victorious Yacht. There wis a yacht race from New York city to Cork, Ireland, a few days between the (Coronet and the Dauntless. two sailing vessels of smal! size, but of exquisite model and build. It was an interesting contest.and elicited very general concern on both sides the Atlantic. The prize was $20.000— $10,000 a side. How much more pri- vate betting was done cannot, of course, be known. The average speed of the Coronet, the winning vessel, was from 230 to 250 miles per day, the variations depending on the windsand waves. The eaptain of this vessel said the weather was worse than he had experienced in 174 Atlantic passages; but the voyage was made in 14 days and 23 hours. The Dauntless was about a day be- hind. Number of miles sailed 3,049. eo 8 Miss Churchill: A NEW BOOK BY CHRISTIAN REID. , Is spoken of by critics, and especially by the Weekly ( N.Y.) (iraphic, as of a highly meritorious order.

It strikes us that the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States de- claring that a state has no right to tax drummers is an. outrageous violation of states right’s and a subversion of first foun- dation — principle of our yovernment. | Whither ave we drifting? Is there nothing tixed and settled? Has a state no rights that the general government is bound to respect?) Has if come to pass that all the reserved rights of a state are in the supreme court, and that a state has no right to obey the constitution in regulating its own inter- nal affairs? The canstitution, which we; have been taught to regard as the great | sheet anchor of our Hberties, expressly pro- vides that powers not delegated to the United States by*the constitution, nor pro- hibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively. The mght to tax drummers or anybody else is one of the reserved rights that the states have been exercising for a hundred years without its ence being called in question, But now comes Jude Bradley and a majority of the Supreme Court, and declares that to tax drummers is in violation of inter-state com- merce, which belongs to the federal gov- ernment. We have tried to read Bradley’s opinion, but we are not lawyer enough to see much sense or reason or law or patriot- ism init. It is at varience with what we have thought to be settled principles, weak and illogical. Now the Judge would not care pjuch for our opinion, but it must give him pause, add cause him to doubt the jus tice of his own conclusions, when he finds that Chief Justice Waite, and Justices Field aud.

Last Thursday night, the 24th, the building occupied by Robertson & Miller as a tobacco manufactory, with a capacity of about 200,000 Ibs. a year, with every- thing in it, and an old frame house ad- joining, were burned to the ground. The factory was a comparatively new frame building with brick lined walls, two stories and garret high, and had been occupied by Robertson & Miller about two years. The adjoining building was a frame structure very old, it was moved from the back of where Murphy’s row now stands thirty-five years ago, and was occupied sixty-one years ago as a tailor shop by Wade Ifampton. Rey. Mr. Murdock and Mr. J. K. Bailey both discovered the fire at about the same time, about 24.a.m., and gave the alarm. At that time the whole top of the building seemed to be in flames, and it spread to the lower story so quickly that nothing could be saved.

T. K. BRUNER‘ EDITOR, RALEIGH, N. C., The Rudis ill Mine. This property, consisting of sixty-eight acres, is owned by the Rudisill Gold Mining Company, of Charlotte, and is under the cure of Thos. C. Duna,. Esq., general manager, and Mr. Wm. Jenkins, mine superintendent. Themiue contains a vast amount of low grade ore which has} hitherto been neglected in the-search for the heavy, rich auriferous sulpherets. These richer ores were concentrated and shipped to various smelting establish- ments North, andit proved a profitable undertaking. Recently concentrating machinery has been introduced and the plant enlarged so that the more abundant low grade ores are now being treated, and, it is said, with profit. The Rudisill is one of the most valuable properties in the State, and is credited with more than a million dollars production. This has resulted from working only about one- tenth of the vein area, the other nine- tenths remain unexploited. These facts Warrant a more detailed description of the mine. The property is situated a very short distance from the limits of the city of Charlotte, and isin the Laurentian for- mation of the State. They ‘have slate and granite walls, with quartz, slate and biotete granite filling. The vein is a fissure and the prevailing form of the ore is quartz and ferruginous sulphide. The vein material is worth from $5 to $200 to the ton, but the whole mass will average $10 to the ton. The vein is variable in width, running from five to fifty feet. The deepest shaft is 350 feet, in the bot- tom of which there is good ore. The probability is, as is the case in all true fissures, that good ore will continue in depth far beyond the present means. of mining. the shaft alluded to there are three others; one 200 feet deep, another 150 fect, and the third 70 feet deep. There are drifts from all of these, from 50 to 200 feet in length from the (shafts. It is estimated that not less than 10,000 tons of ore is in sight. The buildings comist of a mill house, shaft house, three dwellings, offices, &e., Which are valued at $2,500.

Very mistike. ideas-exist on this subject. Ah, Lotien recur to the day when I was a boy up in Delaware county. I was a pretty happy lad. ‘There wasn't much wear and tear in life then. How goed it would feel just to go out and drnve the cattle home from pasture once more ! And how delicious 1t would be to stoop down by the old cow again to do the morning's milking and just to squirt a stream of her fresh hot milkin between my lips as I used tudo! ‘That was nec- tar. That's what gave an appetite for breakfast. A boy ona farm ought to be one of the happiest beings alive, he added. He may leave to go out in the busier world, aud he may make more money elsewlicre and in other ways, but he will never be a jot happier anywhere him. The miserable man paused a moment and continued : After all, what does aman, however rich he may be, get in this world except his board and his clothes and a place to live? Why, as it is, Iam kept on the drive now trom early in the morning till late at night, without any let up, day in and day out. The money [have made has enalavel me. With financial success, cares and responsibilities and trinls unnumbered yo close together; and there is no escaping the embar- rassments and troubles. A rich man ought to be judged pretty generously. He has a good deal more to contend with than people who aren't mech sup- pose. The reporter was tempted to suggest that Mr. Gould was still young enongh to get rid of a big share of his burden- some wealth and return to his happy farm life, but the poor man seemed to feel his wretchedness so keenly that the scribe did not have the heart to say any- thing. We must make allowances for this sort of talk but Jay Gould would not talk this way if there was not something in it.— Atlanta Constittiéuon. — —.-<—>- -—— _-- Useful Hints.

Many of the preparations sold for cleaning silver leave the surface more or less deadened, thus impairing its beauty. The best plan is to rub the silver first with a mixture of equal arts of powdered rouge and silicon. Then wash thoroughly each piece sep- arately. ‘Then lay on a piece of cha- mois skin or some of the rouge, which comes in blocks, and a single applica- tion will leave the silver with a surface as bright as when new. rn , — ay of Talking About one of the Best Men in the State.

The “love of a bonnet”’ this lady says is rational and natural, and she proves it by showing that of women who have next to nothing on top of their heads very few ever grow bald, while so many hat-wearing men are like ‘Old Uncle Ned.” The hair, she says, is the natural protection of the head, and the allus got convictcd.” less put on top of itthe better. —_V. ¥.

Found—Incident in the His- tory of a Quiet Community. The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com- munity, secluded from the fret and worry of the outside world. They are widely known, how- ever, for their strict honor and probity in business. The Shakers belicve that na- ture has aremedy for every dis- ease. A few have been found— the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci- dent. Others came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com- paratively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. Itisa joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as es rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-sighted Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli- cation lies chiefly in the disord- ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition, They reasoned thus:—“If we can in- duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre- tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat- ters which remain after the life- giving clements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys- pepsia and Nervous Exhaust- ion. And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Seigel’s Syrup) in_ less com Heated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in- curable—with perfect success in every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex- haustion is a peculiarly Ameri- can disense. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it— bothsexes and all ages.

Warren, however thought otherwise, and ordered Robinson to push the brig- ade mght down upon the enemy and open the road, and he (Warren) would hasten the supports. Warren knew that delay would strengthen the enemy as his own army, and away we went, our left in the “air.” We overtook our skirmishers, and just then, in our immediate front, ap- eared a battery of horse artillery. There were no obstructions to our rap- id march or to the enemies’ aim, con- sequently our column moved fast, but the artillery shots were too high to disconcert us. “Get ready to duck, boys,” shouted a winded captain, but the aim of the en- emy continued too elevated and we were unbarmed. Shots came rapid, and our licutenant-colonel then in com- mand, called out, “Come on, men, get that gun,” and kept well in the front line. The race for the gun was an earnest one. In full view of 2,0CO men, each was trying to be the lucky captor. The column got) somewhat disorganized; men fell out from exhaustion and over- heat, but Lam not aware that any were struck by the artillery shots. The artillery would fall back as we approached, but their gunners gradu- ally fell out until at last one man only remained, One man on a gun, and with faur or six horses to care for, we thought, of course, he woald retire the gun; but no! he showed signs of fight, and our men begun to fire at the dare- devil, and one of the leading horses fell. [distinctly remember seeing the ian jump from his horsesund apparently cut out the dead one. What kept us from overtaking the man and his gun | can- not tell. He turned the horses, and When nearly completed, his own horse dropped, and he got on another and drove the horses and gun out of j ourreach,for we had struck the infantry, and in the first volley T fell wounded. Twenty years after that event Gen- reral Kitz Hlugh Lee wrote as follows: Mit) James Breathed was the most recklessly brave man | everknew. Ele was commanding my horse artillery, and at my*order placed a single gun in position on a little knoll as we were falling back, disputing the encmy’s ad- vance toward Spottsylvania Court Louse. “We knew the enemies infantry were marching in column through a picee of woods, and the object was to tire upon the head of the columm as it) de- bouched to give the idea that their further advanee would be eeain contes- ted. and to compel them to develop a jline of battle with skirmishers thrown pout, ete, “The delay Which it was hoped to occasion by such demonstration was de- sirable in o:der to inerease the chances of our infantry, then marching by an- other paralel! route to the court house. Under Major Breathed’s personal su- permtendence shells were thrown, and burst exactly im the head of the columm as it was debouched. “The destred effect was obtained: the head of the enemy's advance was scat- tered. and it was only with some difficul- ty a line of battle, with skirmishers in ee — draw Ins gun. dle was so much ela- ted with iis success that he begged to be allowed to give the enemy some more rounds.

The bit and frontlet are made of rope, without throatband, and the reins, though very strong, ure extremely light. The time favorable for ostrich hunting is when there is the greatest heat. The higher the temperature the less is the ostrieh able to defend itself. ‘The Arab says that when a man stands upright, and his shadow is only the length of his foot, that is the exact time to hunt. Kach horseman is accompanied by a servant,called Zemimal. He is nount- ed on a camel carrying four goat skins filled with water, and barley for the horses, wheat flour for the rider, some dates, a kettle in) which to cook the food and everything which can possi- bly be required for the repairing of the harness in case of an accident. The horseman wears a licen vest and trousers and covers his neck and ears with a light material called haval, which is tied with a strap of camel's hide. His feet are protected by sandals and his legaby light gaiters, called trabag. He has neither gun nor pistol, iis only weapon being a wild olive or tarmarind stick, five or six feet long, with a heavy knob at one end. Before starting off, the hunters as- certain where a large number of os- triches are to be found. They are venerally met with ino places where there isa great deal of grass, and rain has recently fallen. ‘The hunters gen- erally commence their journey early in the morning. — After one or two days traveling, when they have arrived near the desired spot, and they begin to see traces of their game, they halt and camp. They carry a goat-skin at their side and a little bread. They walk on util they tind the ostriches, which are generally on level places. As soon as the same is in view, ope Hes down to watch, and the other returns to convey the information to the camp. The birds are found in troops, con- sisting of as many as sixty. The horsemen, guided by the scout, travel cautiously toward the game. The nearer they approach the spot the vreater is their caution, and when they reach the last ridge which hides them from the ostriches, they dismount and creep forward to ascertain whether the Inrds are still there. If such is the case, a moderate quantity of water 1s viven to the horses, and each man mounts again and proceeds. The ser- vants ad camels follow a little distance behind, carrying with them corn and water, The horsemen divide and form a cir- cle round the ostriches at such a dis- tance as not to be noticed by them. The servants halt when the horsemen separate, and as soon as they see ther masters In position, they walk rght before their prey. ‘The ostriches flee, but are met by the hunters, who at first only drive them back into the cire!

But its sense of taste is so obtuse that leather, old nails, buttons, bits of tin, keys, evins and pebbles are devoured with apparent equal relish. Nothing comes amiss. * But the bird doubtless follows an instinct, for these hard substances for digestion its ordinary food, like the gravel in the crops of our domestic poultry. Cuvier found in the stomach of an ostrich that died in Paris a pound of stones, bits of iron and copper and pieces of money worn down by con- stant attrition, In another stomach, besides several large cabbage — stalks, there were pieces of brick the size of a man’s fist. Prof Sparrman relates that he has seen ostriches so tame that they went to and fro on the farm where they would swallow chickens whole and trample hens to death, and then tear them in pieces to devour. “And one ternble great bird had to be killed on account of an awkward habit he had acquired of trampling sheep to death.” But the inost wonderful thing, per- haps. showing the capacity of an os- trich’s stomach is that afforded by Dr. Shaw, who saw one swallow Dullet after bullet as they were pitched scorching hot from the mold. It has become a proverbial expression, in. al- luding to a person whose digestion is perfect, tosay: “Te has the stomach of an ostrich.”-— Boston Herald. aE G+ -ae What Convress Did.

Tilden while living, ever received such unstinted pies from the Republican press as has een showered upon him curing the past week. Nothing has been done by any member of Mr. Cleveland’s Cubi- net since it was organized more calen- lated to win popularity than is the act of the Secretary of the Navy by which the work of fortifying our seaports and building ironcluds is established on a solid foundation. From every side his energy and sa- gacity is applauded, the work he has done to epaile bidders to accept offered ment.

He performed his difficult task the last of a once considerable tribe, all with such marked ability and energy hairy. that it could not otherwise than win for him the admiration and contidence of the country at large as well as of the Prosident. It is said that Mr. Cleve- land then made up his mind that in the eventof Secretary Manning's permanent retirement from the Cabinet the man who had for so long and so ably been the practical Secretary of the Treasury should be rewarded for such distin- guished merit. The appointment of Mr. Failchild is also an evidence that the strong, con- serative financial policy under which the country has passed from an era of profound depression to the eve of a new period of pe writy and hope, is to be contined for the remaining two years of the present administration. The ef- fect of his promotion will be to prevent any injurious agitation of the money marke:, such as might have occurred if aman ip yhom the public hae less contidence Had succeeded Mr. Manning. Now current values will not be dis- turbed by the smallest fraction. Everything inside and outside of the Department will move on_ without a ripple; and, except that Mr. Faichild has no taste fur the practical work of politics and will not allow such mat- ters to trespass his time, there will be nothing to mark the transition from the old Secretary to the new. The Inter-State Commerce Commis- sion has organized, located temporarily, petitioners have appeared before it and it has had its first discussion over some of the intricate sections of that com- plicated piece of legislation which it 1s expected to make plain. The Com- missioners are flooded with apphicutions for office. Every State in the Union comes to them for favors of this kind, and every incoming mail brings them more ana more trouble of this kind, while all day long the corridors leading to their offices are filled by a stream of place hunters with anxious faces. The Commission is not authorized to employ a clerk or a messenger without the approval of Mr. Lamar, the Secre- tary uf the Interior. and their bills of expenses will not be paid unless endors- ed by hun. ‘The Commissioners seem to be economically inclined, and instead of riding about the city in carnages, they may be seen walking or using the street cars. The peremptory closing of the Washington barrooms on Sunday under the new ruling of the Commis- sioners of the District, promises to be successful. Last Sunday nearly every establishment dedicated to the liquor trathic was hermentically sealed, and the few who took chances were so har- rassed that they will in future acqui- esce in the established ordinance. ‘I'he Sunday drinking in Washington has been fearfully great, and of course its results have been proportionately disas- trous. The temperance people are jubilant over the success of the Commnssioners in virtually suppressing the sale of liquor in the saloons on Sunday, and a certain District Judge has gone a step further. In the case of a hotel-keeper brought before him, he decided that a landlord could neither furnish liquor to his guests in their roo C ae ms nor wine at in others whose} the table on Sunday. ee John G. Saxe the poet died last Thursday the 31st. At one time he was tie poet of the day and his verses were looked for and devoured as soon as published. He was an editor, lawyer, poet and lecturer, and contributed largely to the world’s stuck of enjoyment and pleasure. Some years he was injured in a railroad accident and afterwards became melan- choly and despondent. The following quotation frow him shows that years ayo the New York Board of Aldermen was very little more reputable than now: And, sadder still, the brilliant Hays, Once honest, manly and ambitious, Has taken latterly to ways Extremely protigate and vicious ; By alow fereee 1 Znow not how— He's reached at last the very groundsel, And in New York he figures now A member of the common council.” —_—— Probably the most gigantic engin- eering enterprise of inodern times is the ship canal, now in course of con- struction across the Isthmus of Pana- ma. Among the many difficulties to be overcome ure those of taking the canal through the Chagres river some twenty times, through a hill several hundred feet high by means of deep cutting, and through numerous swamps and beds of rock. Twenty miles of this canal aro now so far finished as to admit water, three miles having a depth of twenty-fire fect and the remaining seventeen a depth of eight feet, When Com ypretedt the largest steamers and vessels will be abie to go through it, from one wean to tne otuerand will thus save unio, aid overland trans- portation avross tne isthmus, or a long and dangerous voyage around Cape Horn. am >_> ae The residents about Upper Nyack.

That encouraged the hoodlums, who had gone to the hall in numbers. They were dis- orderly, and one of them annoyed a lady, whuse escort struck the rough over the head with a chair. The roughs instantly jumped upen masse aud took possession ofthe meeting. Billies, pistols and knives were drawn and the greatest excitement ensued. Some negroes were involved in it, and they joined in the row. Chairs were thrown about and broken over the heads and faces of the specjators. The hall was thrunged and exit was danger- ous. Ladies and children rushed for tne stage and kept up an incessant screaming, which attracted av immense crowd on and the one on that beat had gone to the barracks with the members of the band. Fears were entertained that the ladies would be crushed in the stampede. But they wisely collected on and near the stage, and did not attempt to leave the building during the fight, which lasted fylly twenty minutes.

Sec The Best and Cheapest College. Over 200 young men from cighteen States entered the Commercial College of Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky., in the past three months. This College received the Highest Honor and Gold Medal at the World’s Exposition over all other Colleges for System of Book-keep- ing and business Education. It is situat- ed in the beautiful, healthy, and renown- ed city of Lexington, Ky., accessible by the leading railroads. Arrange now to enter this College during the spring or summer months, as students can enter at any time. The President of this renown- ed College has sent the Editor of this paper a Full Scholarship to his College, and an ambitious yonug man will find it to his advantage to call the Editor. Read advertisement of this Col- lege in an another column, and write for particulars to its President, Wilbur R. Smith, Lexington, Ky. gee A Delightful Evening. Thursday being the time appointed for the “st. Cecilia Dime Reading,” found the parlors of Mr. A. H. Boyden filled with a select and expectant audience. Asusual the programme opened with a hyimn from the Episcopal choir, and was followed by a poem written and read by Rev. Dr. Wheat. This composition was a literary gem—sparkling all along the lines with the noblest and purest senti- and sce ments, and his admiring listeners felt a gratitude pervade their pleasure, because it taught while it so charmingly enter- tuined. Next came “Recollections of Home,” with Miss Blackiner at the piano; to whose skillful and delightful rendition, the company bore ample testi- mony by enthusiastic applause. As if suggested by the music prececding, “The Grandmother,” by Tennyson, was next beautifully and expressively read by Mrs. Chas. Price, and thoroughly -enjoyed by young and old. The exquisite thoughts of this happy selection had scarcely ceased Dr. Grilfith’s splendid voice poured forth its deep, ) to echo, when mclluw notes in the “King’s Highway’ and “the concord of sweet sounds” sug- have considered themselves fortunate in passing that way! In response to a per- sistent encore, Dr. Griffith sang the “sex- ton,’ and again charmed his hearers. In the lull following, Miss Alice Cald- well made her way to the piano and with astonishing self-possession and skill for one of her years, favored the company with one of Beethoven’s Sonatas. Father Ryan’s sublimely grand poem, “The Sentinel’s Sony,” was then read by Mr. McCloud Bost, but my pen helplessly falters at an effort to express the tender loyal emotions, awakened by this sad re- frain of a disappointed Southern soldicr and poet. ILis glorious words so resplend- ent with the truths for which we fought, will never cease to move even colder seemingly inspired by the *‘poet’s moan,” Miss Mock’s birdlike voice now floated | of Tostis’ “Bid Me Cood-Bye.” and our souls mutely offered her their cribute of Last but not least followed “Longing for Home,” the last of Jean Ingelow’'s beautiful “Songs of Seven,’ which Mrs. Four generations of the vencrable Dr. Wheat’s family represcuted in the enter- tainment, formed a remarkable and un- usual feature, as a little three year old great-grand-Caughter recited and made : prettypicture.

Pursuant to a call of the Democratic Executive Committee of Salisbury, the democratic voters met in their respeetive: wards, last Tuesday night, to nominate a ticket for municipal oflicers. Each Ward voted for choice for Mayor. The several wards then assembled in Mecroney’s Hall in general convention. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Kluttz. Upon the nomination of Mr. A.

Sensible Advice to Young Girls. There is nothing like their own home for married people, even if the wife shall bave to cook, sweep the floor and clean the windows. If she is a healthy girl the exercise will do her good—and no young man who has to labor for his living should marry a girl that is not healthy, strong and willipg to do her own work While they are too poor to hire a servant. This thing of marrying a girl that you have to hire another t& take care of is not a wise thing for a puor young man do. tle should look out for x girl that is broad shouldered, strong in muscle, having, of course, other virtues. The ideal girl, the consumptive, tight- laced, party going, piano playing, French talking, fashionable girl can be no proper wife for him. This language the girls may think un- kind, but it is not. It is better fur girls that are not fitted to be a poor young man’s wife to remain with their parents than become such, It will be better for their lovers too, and bevtcr for sociery, C. AL CAMPBELL. INING DEPARTMENT, T. K. BRUNER EDITOR, RALEIGH, N. C. Succinite. Succiuite, or succinum, as the Romans’ called ‘it, has been found in Duplia ecoun- ty, this State. Specimens have been sent to the Department of Agriculture fur identification and analysis. Mr. J. B. Carr, an intelligent and observing farmer, found the hard, resinous substance in the marl and phosphate beds on his place. It has not, as yet been found in any great quantity. Succinite is the generic term foramber. It is a fossilized gum which exuded from trees belonging to past epochs. These gum producing trees are found in the strata of bituminous wood, beneath the overluying formations of sand and clay, and the gum is‘found in the fiber and on the outside of the trunk, hanging in stalactitic pendents. Prof. Kerr, in the second chapter of his Geology of North Carolina, reports that it is “found in lumps of several ounces weight, in Pitt county and elsewhere, in the Tertiary mar! bedsof the eastern counties.’”’ This, however, is the first mention of its having been found in Duplin county. The re- markable part of its occurrence in this State, is in the fact that no wood of the ancient tree, from which this amber gum exuded, has yet been found, or at least identified, in the Tertiary or any other formation in this State. It is, however, found in other Atlantic States, occurring in the greensand formation and some- times associated with lignite. It is not improbable that in the exploration for phosphate in the eastern counties, may not result in uncovering larger and more valuable deposits of amber. MINOR MENTION. Prof. I. B. Hellerbrew, Ex-Com’r of Agriculture, of Tennessee, has been pros- pecting in several of the western counties ofthisState. Heis looking after minerals for Tennessce capital, and is well posted in mineralogy. He has been in) Bun- combe, Yancy, Madison and Mitchell, and is pleascd with his observations so fur. The Marion Bullion Company have been rather slow in prosecuting their operations in MeDowell county for the last few months. It is stated, however, that they will resume with brighter pros- pects with the coming warm weather. The company is composed of energetic Pennsylvania business men, and some- thing practical may be expected from them. Their headquarters are at Harris- burg, Pa. Foliated gypsum has been found in Bladen county, near Elizabethtown. It occurs in beds, but is hardly fine enongh to make plaster of paris, but is excellent as a fertilizer for certain soils. Col. Leventhorpe, of Patterson, Cald- well county, has found molybdenite molybdenum sulphide—in his vicinity. It occurs in thin foliated plates, und greatly resembles graphite. Its composi- tion is sulphur and molydenum; it occurs in the older, or igneous rocks, The Cid mine is reported as sold again. It is in Davidsen county and is bat par- tially developed. Some good iaterial has been found there, but the property has not produced much, whether froin mismanagement or from barren ore does not appear. It is likely that to the former cause much of the failure is due. Irom all sides comes information to the effect that the coming summer will find the State filled with intelligent prospec- tors and investors, The resources of the State, both in mineral and in forest, is at- tracting much attention, and many en- quiries are being made by interested par- tics, The water powers of the State ure also coming into notice. The cheapness of living and the equal temperature, as compared with the States north of us, are great inducements to manufac- turers. MARRIED. By Rey. I. LL.

As a train was pujling out of the West Side Union station in Chicago a passenscr sat still a moment as if listening to some thing. and then rose from his seat, picked up his luggaze and asked his traveling companion to ye with him into the firstc: f ah ad. “But we have just got comfortably seated here,” remarked the other; “why | should we make achange.

You know I used to bea railroad man, a conductor, an], of course, I picked np some ideas on the road that aman gets only from experience, As soon as the train started my cars told me there was a flat wheel under the car. Don't you hear it rapping on the rails? Wait till the train slows up for the first stop, and then you'll hear it—running too fast now. Yes, sir, car wheels flatten out and have to be closely watched, Some imperfection of unevennes in the ifon, or some extraordinary blow ona rail or ob- struction makes an inpression on the sur- face of the wheel, and then every revolu-; tion thereafter adds to the injury. A wheel will flatten out in a remarkable short time, and on long runs of through trains a flat wheel is a source of danger, If this wheel runs from here to New York, and happens to be a pretty soft wheel, the chances fare that we will arrive there in a very bad condition, after doing as much damage to | the track on the journey as the company will get in passenyer money from all occu- pants of the car.

New York, March 27.—Five huntlred and vineteen of the lialian passengers on the sea barge Haggerty at Castle Garden late this afterneon. The scene that followed Leggared description. Chey rushed into the rotunda pell-mell, shrieking and howling for food like ravenous wolves, They crowded uround the lunch tables, climbing over each other and trampling on the helpless women and children. Pandemonium reigned supreme for fully an hour. It is customary to register all immigrants before they enter the rotunda, but the red tape was broken on this occasion by Superintendent Jackson. The force of the mass of people was so great that the officers who were stationed to keep order were swept aside like straws. The seething mass could not be restram- ed. Mr. Jackson gave oréers to give them all the food they needed, and charge it to the commissioners of emi- gration. ‘Theu the distribution of food began. It was impossible to regulate the distribution. ‘The strong men crowded to the front, with uplifted arms and their eyes starting from their sockets, crying in Italian “Bread, bread.” ‘The surging mob was utterly uncontrolable; women and children were trampled on, crowded and pushed away. ‘The officers of the garden aided in the distribution by throwing the loaves over the heads of the nearest to the outskirts of the crowd. Every time a loaf was fired into the crowd, twenty or more serambled, and in some ases, fought to get it. That dry bread was a luxury, was evident from the ay the starving people gorged them- In a short time all the food was gone except some bologna sausage. ‘The women and children were cared for, and milk and beer added to their portion. Outside the railing were 612 passengers from the Etruria, So2 from the Waesland and 660 from the La Bretagna. Nearly 3,000 people were in the rotunda. ‘The babel of tongues was frightful, as the people were of all nationalities. ‘The ofticials handled them well, keeping the Italians separ- ate.

A SPECIFIC FOR Woman's [JISBASES —sucn as— tive years ago, hoping to e-tablish a! branch of their great co-operative train | wrecking and robbing emporitn, but} they were not successtul. It is said that they established theme | selves up near Round Knob, arme the teeth, and awaited the arrival of | the train. Time passed on. | At first they were not very hungry | and did not think it advisable to devour | any of their number, but at last starv-| ation overpowered good resolutions and | reason; so one after another of the weaker of the band yielded to the fren- zied and famine-stricken fragment of | the once buoyant and self-rehant come | pany. At last, one night, just as the moon climbed the picturesque step-ladder of stars and looked down upon the wild and beautiful picture of — glorified mountain and sober valley, as the last colored Joiterer had returned from the distant revival, while a pair of Ply- mouth Rocks sleepily peered from the pockets of his army overcoat into the glorious night, as the ever-regretful pine of the Uld North State gave back to the night wind a hopeless whisper in answer to its light caress, the last of the lusty robbers vielded to long ex- posure, famine and the sharp, remorse- less tooth of time. His last fluttering breath went out upon the bosom of the mountain zephyr as a shrill whistle sounded from beyond the *trussle ” and in less than two hours, almost before his body had become cold and rigid in death, the train, witha muffled rumble and grumble and roar, with a mad shriek and a hot-box, passed him in its resistless flight. So you see, Mr. White, that this is no place to rob trains. It is too uncer- tain. This is a good place for health, but it is no place to rob trains. I can tell you where there are some good, ro- bust chickens, or at least where they were an hour ago; but, until the road here has more respect for its time- table, I would not advise a train-rob- ber in whom | felt any interest to come here. L know that at times your dornick firm will look bleak and desclite to you, and you will madly yearn for more soil; but it is better than the enervating toil of sitting night after night in acold culvert, wearing a set of false whiskers, a size too large for you, and waiting for atrain that mi y never come.

New York, March 31.—One of the d to greatest reforms ever inaugurated in | the railway passenger service of this [country was consummated at a meet- ing of a joint committee of the ‘Trunk lines and the Central Traffic Associa- tion held at Commissioner Fink's office yesterday. A unanimous agreement | was reached which will abolish abso- lutely and forever the payment of ticket commissions by railway com- panies to agents of connecting lines for the sale of vassenger tickets. ‘This abuse, which was begun more than thirty-five years ago, has grown to such enormous proportions that it is inti- mated that it is now costing the rail- ways of the United States, directly and indirectly, at the rate of more than $5,000,000 annually and has to a great extent been the means by which ticket scalpers have been built up. The Cen- tral Traffic Association hae been at work for over a year in endeavoring to reach an agreement for the abolition of this system cf bribery, but not until now have the lines been able to reach & wnanimous agreement. A circular announcing this agreement was given to the public yesterday. It is addressed to all ticket agents and ticket sellers in the United States and Canada. The vast importance of this move- ment may be estimated when itis un- derstood that the various associations agreeing to abolish ticket commissions comprise the Central ‘Traffic Associa- tion, composed of all important lines east of Chicago and St. Louis and west of the western terminus of the trunk line: the lines of trunk lines, a tern- tory which includes all the lines between Butfalo, Salamanca, and Wheeling, on the west, and New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, on the east, (the trunk lines touk the initiative and abolished commissions more than a year ago); the Southern Passenger Association, which comprises all important lines east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac; the New Eng- land Association, comprising all the important railway lines in New Eng- land. The agreement is made more bind- ing by another clause providing that neither of the agreeing companies will act as agent for connecting Jines who continue to pay their agents commi.- sions, and it seems hardly possible that any line will continue this practice, which, it is acknowledged by all, pro- duces no busimess whatever; is but of trifling value to travellers, and reduces the net revenue of the stockholders of railroads by several million dollars per annum. The change will revolutionize the methods of ticket selling if en- forced. Nearly every town und village inthe laud has its “western ticket agent,” and this new rate will leave ‘tne landlords the rest. him without business. Come tothe bridal thamber; Death !

Tie Cleveland (Ohio) Press, of February 23d, 1883, pub- lished an account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among med- ical men throughout the whole country, Dr. Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs, King had been suffering for many years from some disease of the stom- ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. ‘The disease commenced with a slight de- rangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable dis- tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint “all gone” sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree- able taste. This sensation was not removed hy food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky a cold perspiration, ‘There was a constant tired and lan- guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, — with gloomy forebodings. — Finally the patient was unable to re- tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem- edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order tosave the patient's life an operation was justifi- able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 18383, the opera- tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. ‘Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board. ‘The operation consist- ed in laying open tke cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stemach and bowels. When this had been done an examin- ation of the organs was made, but tothe horror and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be ivund. The pa- tient did not uave a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the discase really was), she would have been liv- ing to-day. SuaKkeR Extract or Roots, or SEIGEL'S CURATIVE Syrve, a remedy made ex- pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi- gestien, has restored many such ‘ases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed.

We see it reported that John Sher- manoon his return to Ohio from. the South proceeded to msult the people for whom he had such honeyed words at Birmingham and Nashyitle. He made aspeech in Which he referred to the swieked” “rebellion” and charged that the Southern people had begun the late war because Lineoln had been elected President. He denied the South the justice of having fought for prinerple’s sake, for its mehts under the constitu- tion as always maintained hy Southern statesmen. Tle declared that the South- ern people “engaged in rebellion” out of pure “wickedness.” Not content with this, wesee farther. he has also announced his purpose of advocating again his outrageous pro- p sition for the “protection” of the southern negroes, a proposition which, as onr readers well remember, looks to a daw placing the elections in_ the Southern States under the supervision and control of Federal officials. The New York Herald thus reports an .in- terview with hinrin Washington City lust week: Reporter: Whit do the Republi- cans propose to do about the alleged intimidation of the colored voter by the white Democrats of the South?” Mr. Sherman: “LP cant say as to that. We certainly ought to do some- thing to protect these people. [ think we will do so in the next presidential campaign. Just what our mode of procedure will be L can't tell, but we feel that the time las come when we oneht to claim ourrights. ‘Tennessee. North Carclina and Blorida are very closely divided politically evel how. Tonnessce and North Carolina natural- Iv belong to us. We ought to have them beth.” It will thos be seen that Mr. Sher- man counts North Carolina as “natur- ally beloneine” to him. However the people of the State may vote, he pro- poses, if possible, to have the electoral vote of the State counted) for himselt and to secure the count ofevough other Southern States tosecure his election. though the choice of thowe States for the presidency may be, as it undoubted- ly will be, the Democratic nominee. The eonrse Which has been taken and the plan which has been mapped out are eraractersstie of the hypocritical. the wily. the traculent John Sherman. Behold again the policy ef force of the Republican party as illustrated im the utterances of one of the party's iteals of <tttesmanship! Tt remaius for the people to suv whether such presuimp- tion, such unpat notice purpeses shall be properly rebuked or not. Tt as a won- der that even any Republicans are to be found willing to support such a bold, nnscrupulous self-sceker es Shermen for the presidency. When he counts on North Carolina as “naturally be- lon@ineg to him” he decidedly reckous withort his host. But the anbleshing cheek of the claim!

Washington, April 6.—The Inter- state Commerce Commission passed most of to-day in private conferrence, deliberating upon the. application of the Southern Railway and Steamship Associations for igmporary suspension of the long and-g@ort haul clause of the law. Late in the afternoon the com- missioners agreed on the terms of their answer, and at 7 o'clock this evening their formal reply was eompleted. In it they say that: Application having been made to the Interstate Con.merce Commission, tn- der a section of the act to regulate com- merce, by the Southern Railway and Steamship Association, an organization panies, lines and systems and s‘eam- ship lines operated in connection there- with, to charge less for loager than for shorcer distances in certain caces for the transportatioa of property from and to principal cities of the North and South Je!ween Beston and New Or- leans, Norfolk and Memphis, and said common carriers having presented as a reason granting their application, the existance of water and other competi- tion, claiming that the same cannot be met except by maintaining the rates heretofore established to and from the said points, which are alleged to be too low to enable said common earners to carry on business if apphed te local intermediate pomts, and further clum- ing that great disturbances of business oceur if present trafic arranges ments and rates are immediately chang- ed; it is ordered: ‘Nhat the said apple ction he and the same is hereby granted temporarily, subject to modification or revocation by the commission at any time upon hear- ing or cther wise, and the said conmon carriers are hereby temporarily reheved How Advertising Works.

There was two fires in Charlottee, Sunday morning last, in widely separa- ted parts of the city. The two houses were fired within five minutes of each other. The Chrouicle thinks they were the work of incendiaries. ‘Tbe loss in geither case was large; but the prompt- peas of the tire comp wies prevented it. ——_-_ --<—- Effeet of Earthquake. A correspondent at Alligator, N. C., potes the fact that since the earth- quake in August last. the tides have ruled in Tyrell and Dare counties at least 8 inches lower than before. The same effect has been noticed at Wil- mington; but the Star corrects a mis- apprehension by saying that the tides remain unchanged in elevation, but _ that the earth in that part of the coast where the apparent fall of the tide has occurred, was raised by the earthquake, and thinks it will gradually return to) its former level. ec es — Powderly on the Anarchists. Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, made a speech in Harrisburg, Pa., in which he was clear- ‘ly and unmistakably against the methods of the Chicago anarchists. He congratulated his audience on the results of the late Chieago election, in which the anarchists were badly de- feated. He also denounced sham legis- lation, by delegates for the purpose of | ining the votes of the Kmights, but or whom they had no real concern. In another speech at night he declared that the Knights stand clear anarchy, and that as true Americans they were in favor of all legitimate actious to promote the welfare of the Jabering people, &c. ore Extensive Railroad Robbery. The railroad men in the Pennsyl- Vania company's system, principally in the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis division, were startled on Monday morning last by officers who came upon them armed with warrants for their arrest. It seems the company has been systematically robbed by its operatives for the last three years; and that having collected the necessary proofs and made the necessary arrange- ments for snatching up all the sus- ted persons at one time, struck them on Monday. Four hundred warrants were issued and served, which, on being followed up with searches of the resi- dents of the suspected, brought in large quantities of stolen goods of all kinds, and additional evidence for the prosecution of the men. A pretty mess indeed, in which high and low at- tuches were implicated. aa A Scotch Girl Roused—Mind How You Fool With Her. May Ellingsworth, but two years in this country, accepted the worship of J -sse Thorne, both living in New York city, and they were to be married Sun- day after Easter. But Thorne under the plea of poverty, &c., asked to be re- leased from the engagement. He was released. But Miss Eilingsworth find- ing that the release was obtained under false pretences, and that Thorne was wo-shipping at the shrine of another fair lady, armed herself with a cow- hide and went for him. She found him on the street with his new lady lose shortly after vowing to her his undying affection, and fell upon him with her cowhide, thrashing him sev+rely over the face and shoulders until the fellow saved himself by flight. Gentlemen present offered the offended f-ie polite attentions, but she declined them and returned to her home, of | PAnother Effort to Advance the South's Interests. The publishers of the Manufacturer's Record, of Baltimore, in their efforts to have just issued, under the title of “THe New Sout,” « book of nearly 500 pages. This book is devoted to an [exposition of the South, and notes each ‘State separately. It will without doubt be the most remarkable advertisement of the South ever published, and we doubt whether any country ever before in the world’s history had its attraec- tions and advantages placed before so many millions of readers by means of a single publication. This effort upon the part of the pub- lishers of the Mrrufacturer’s [Record should be sustained vy liberal patron- age of both book and paper. Either can be obtained by addressing the Manufacturer's Record, Baltimore, the former for $2.50 the latter at $3.00 per ‘annum. Church Broil. A difficulty has arisen between the | pastor of the M. Kk. Church, South, of Asheville," N. C.. and Dr. U. 5. Long, the Presiding Elder, in respect to the usuages. and practices of the pastor of the Asheville church. Dr. Long has published accusations and impheations against the pastor and church, which are pointedly denied, and the proof de- manded. W. W. Bays, pastor of the }church, occupies nearly five columns iin the Citizen, of Asheville, in vindica- tion of himself and church. afid in ar- raigning the Doctor on his charges. The dispute is really of a frivilous nature, Leing neither more nor less than that the church in Asheville has ignored the distinction “South” in the name of the church, and by that means has received into its member- ship northern people who would not have joined the church had the word “South” been retained and honored as a part of the name of the church. The pastor denies this and all other points made by the Doctor based on that allegation. The Doctor hes made himself subject to very grave charees unless he can prove his allegations. ><> aa Prejudice vs. Reason. Human nature will not always econ- form to the dictates of reason, as every day experience proves. Men will often be found doing things against reason becanse it yratities self or some. seltish or perverse motive. And from like promptings, refusing to comply with the dictates of sound policy or reason, even when such compliance would re- sult in their own highest good. We have a notable example of this in the pohitical conduct of the negro popula- tion. They uniformly vote the Re- publican ticket, although the Republi- can party has never done them any good, and, judging by the past, never will. On the contrary, the Demo- eratic party, where in power, have sought to benefit the negro, and hay ae- complished for them all the advantages they had a nght to expect. Reason would therefore dictate that the party of good deeds should be sustained by them. but it ix not. The party whose policy and practice is governed by the principles of justice, economy. and the greatest good to the greatest number. should command the confidence and support of all men who value fidelity to the public interest. Private or per- sonal aims or desires, should be held in rigid subordination to publie inter- ests. Great men, reasonable men, good men, and fair minded men. do in the main yield obedience to a principle so clearly night: so that, the disinterested world looking on never fails to con- demn the course of those who go coun- ter to it.

Monday wos agala day fot the-young people of Salisbary. © Pienie and fishing pirties started out early for the woods and streams in the neighborhood.and Sal- isbury was almost depopulated of our young folks. The picnics were at the Shoals, St. John’s Mill and the Point and were pronounced to have been above par. The usual amount of wild flowers were gathered, and the young couples were aout as late returning as is generally the case. We can’t say where the fishing parties went, but We can say that we have seen none of the fish that is supposed to have been caught there. But who ever heard of fish being caught when young ladies were along. For the benefit of those that do not know we will tell you how young ladies fish : “There are generally about six of them in a bunch, with light dresses on, and they have three poles, with as many hooks and lines amony them, As svou as they get to the river, they look fora good place to get down the bank, and the most venturcsour one siicks her boothecls in the baak and makes two carcful steps down—then finds herself ut the bottom, with both arms in water, and a feeling that every body in this wide worid is looking at her, und she nev- er tells anybody how she got there, The other girls protiung by her example, turns areund and go down the bank on thei hands avd tues@ backward, Vhen they seamper round antil trey tind a shallow plice, where: they can see the fish, aud slow: ; “Ole!

The zit with a bite gives a spasmodic jerk Which sends the uutortunate fish into the air the full length of the line and be comics aown on the head of the nearest curly head with a damp flop that sets her clawing as hoega thre were Lumble-bees in ber hair, “Ons murder! take it away ! Ugh! take itaway, the nasty thing !* Then they gather about that fish as he skips over the stones, one all the time hold- ing the ling in both hands, with her feet on the pole, as though she had an evil Uispos- cd goat at the other end. ‘Phen they talk at over. “How wall itever get off 2” “Alp tit pretty 2° “Wonder if it ain't dry 2?” “Poor little thing, leu's again.” ~“tlow mouth?” “Good gracious!

Bronson, Hoyt & McTutyre, the owners of the “Big Survey” and other lands, in the Western counties of North Carolina, amounting to about one hundred thousand acres, states that it is the intention of the company to de- velope these lands. They propose to do so by introducing a desirable class of im- migrants, who will be encouraged in im- proving soils and in the cultivation of fruits and grasses; by putting up saw mills and getting out timber, and by de- veloping the various mineral deposits found on the lands. This great work is to be undertaken in a systematic way and on alargescale. The company think this is entirely feasible under the improv- ed industrial condition of the South, and intend to show their faith in works dur- ing the spring and summer.

A Bandmaster’s Reminiscences of the Great Civil War. BY W. H. NEAWE. CIYAPTER IIL. It wassome time before the great miss of North Carolinians—-devoted as we have seen, to peace and national union—could or would believe that they were, asmere atomic automata, plunged into the horrid vortex of a fratricidal, suicidal war. It seemed only the mock- ing diablery ofa suffocating mightmare. But with a full comprehension of its terrible reality there came an entire re- vulsion of feeling,—that of self-preser- vation. Patriotism is not, by any means, a cardinal virtue; for, when divested of vague sentiment and mock heroics, the residue —on strict analysis—presents only these simple, selfish essences,— love of life, self, home, family, friends, neighbors, and all suchas are connected by direct community of interest. This theory is based on the same general principles that actuate true religion as evolved by Jesus Christ when he said : “Lf you do not love your brother (man ) whom you Aare seen, how can you love your Father in Heaven whom you have not seen?” | make this observation in no polemical spirit, but as suggestive of the injunction, “Judge as ye would be judged,” or, “Put yourself in his place.” It is due to the large-souled men of North and South that [ here reproduce a noble utterance of Col. Jones, of the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment, in’ his address at their reunion, in Boston, April 19, 1883:°Time has tempered the bitter- ness of the conflict, and, as we look back, we realize that. though mistaken, the masses who fought us so gallantly were inspired by motives as high and holy to them: as ours were to us. | now re- sume. Society marks were levelled, pro ten. and humanity was ina seething,feverish whirl,—-volunteering for short and = in- detinite terms, buying up revolvers, con- verting files into monstrous knives, etc., -a vague feeling seemingly pervading many that the prospective fighting was to be on theancient style of single com- All restraint beme off, couchant secessionists Were now rampant, ex- acting, and dictatorial. Many of them snubbed and derided those who had clung to the Union; and some said they did not want nor need Union men in the tizht, while others even went so far as to say that, while Union men might be allowed to fight against the invaders, no rank above a private soldier should be conferred on them! But, despite the vaporings of the secessionists,there were not enough of them in North Carolina to have formed the rank and file of one full regiment; and, after the holiday l effervescence of the first few months, neatly all of them who had volunteered to fight—as officers —resigned to obey (2) ealls to fill safe and lucrative post positions ut home. ‘The men who stood staunchly by the Union while they could were the men who did the fight- ing for their homes, after being render- ed powerless to do aught else. It was the urgent appeals of this class to re- main with them and get up bands to inspire them ou the Herel and cheer them in camp that decided me --clearly against my interests and inclinations — ty resist the offers and entreaties of cast my lot with the South, of whose terrible outcome I had a vivid premoni- tion. Moreover, I had always been treated by all classes in the South with extreme kindness, respect, and liberal support, and to leave them because a fortuitous cloud of calamities hung over them, for whose presence they, as a people, were no more responsible than I was, seemed to me as nothing less than cowardly desertion and base ingrati- tude; and, much as I suffered and lost by it, my conscience still approves thie stand I took. Digressions thins at the outset must be made, for though I mean to present only episodes of the War inarmy band connection, yet in order to clearly define my position and actuating motives | must present such happenings as induced me to forego my intention of returning to Europe. The whole war seheme was, original- ly, ahuge game of bluff, aggravated by the criminal folly of the leaders, respec- tively, North and South, imbuing the masses with the most Quixotic ideas of their own prowess, with a correspond- ing underestimate of the courage and physical endurance of their opponents, ——for instanee, on the one hand, “One Southern man was equal to ten Yan- kees”; and on the other, “A handful of Northern men, armed with cornstaiks, could route a whole Southern regiment.” The true obgervers and serious thinkers of both sections Anew better, but their statements and counsels had no saving influence. Much as I deplored and condemned secession, there were some of its notable exponents in North Carolina for whem L had the highest respect, and Whose memories I shall always revere, because all manly virtues were theirs, and. politically, they proved their sincerity by the sacrifice of everything dear to them. I will name only one, and I do that because my first venture as a band- master within hearing range of hostile guns was made under his auspices. | mean Col. Chas. F. Fisher, of Salisbury, killed in the first battle of Manuasses, father of the famous Southern novelist, whose nom de plume is “Christian Reid” (Miss Frances Fisher). He was wealthy, and, as president of the North Carolina Railroad, very influential. He raised a full regiment—the Sixth North Carolina—ot picked men, large- ly at his own expense; and, having had a military education in youth, he, as its colonel, soon had it finely discip- lined. He was also, ike prominent men in every State, full of State pride; he therefore engaged my Salisbury Band, at fifty dollars per day, net, to escort his regiment to Virginia, when ordered there, hoping and beheving that this band would eclipse all the bands from other Statesin the Johnston and Beauregard armies. We joined the regiment at Raleigh, July 7, 1861, and mnoved at once by rail to Virginia. At Richmond a halt of one day was made and we were reviewed on the Capitol grounds by President Davis and Col. Rt. K. Lee, and, good heavens !strutting between them was a dapper, smirking merchant of Salisbury, the most gor- geously broad-clothed, tasselled. tin- selled, feathered, and festooned little man Lever saw, and who, for lis blatant secessionism,—after if was a fixed fact,— consummate cheek, and ir- repressible elbowing push had been in- stalled State commissary of North Car- olina!! This was indicative of one weak and detestable trait of Jeff. Davis, in that he favored fawning sycophants and crushed, as much as he could, all who dared to differ from his views,—a thorough egotist and auto- erat. This [ knew from his course as Secretary of War under Pierce; but this execrable policy —or impolicy —-as Presi- dent of the Confederacy was as yet un- developed, and he was the idol of the dazed masses at that time, “Hurrah for Davis” tilling the air whenever he ap- peared or his name was called. After a day's feasting and gush we tock a train for Manassas. The pe ple along the route seemed in a chrumc state of jubilation, and gave us a con- tinuous ovation. It may have been a sort of hysteric excitation aifecting all classes, but [ was impressed with a con- viction that neither soldiers nor people believed there would be much of a fight nor duration of war worth speaking of; for, in every detail, our trip seemed merely a gala-military excursion. [ then imagined —and afterwards knew —that matters and things inthe North were boiling and bubbliag in like man- ner. We got to Manassas Junction Sun- day morning. The “spread of canvass” seemed interminable, extending —we were told—far beyond the dip of the horizon, right and left of us. Strict discipline did not seem to dominatg the camps, for the “show-off” music we played when our train halted in the centre of this vast encampment drew a motley throng of soldier-looking men around our car, many of whom were members of the numerous bands gath- ered there from all the Southern States. Among these [had many acquaintances who got into the cur or reached through its windows to “shake.” The only man [ found in sympathy with my apprehensive furebodings that war's barbarities were certain and soon to be upon us was “Jim South,” an Eneglish- man, leader of the band from Liehmond. He also told me that the only tine bands in Camp were his and Gessner’s, from New Orleans, and that mine, being from North Carolina, was a genuine surprise to all, for if was as good as heirs; members of other bands said it very much excelled theirs. emails evening, before we had a. chance to hear any of the bands, our regiment got orders to join the forces of | Gen. Jos. E. Johnston, at Winchester. ; We reached that city next day, after, dinner, debouched from the train and took our first foot march through town, ! and joined Johnston’s army four miles | beyound it, and our regiment was at. once posted in a field of cut and shock- ed wheat. The advance and attack of Geu. Patterson was momentarily ex- pected, and I freely confess that my fancy was painfully exercised with very ripe fears of the onset, and, although [ repressed all outward sigas of trepida- tion, my all absorbing desire was to be ordered fur to the rear instanter. Non- combatants who have been similarly situated can readily imagine the serene feeling of relief that fil'*d me when Col. Fisher came to «4 and said, “Neave, take your band into Winches- ter and put upata hotel; you would only be in our way and in needless danger here.” Did I feign a mild sort of protest? Not any. 1 never obeyed an order with such joyous alacrity be- fore nor since. We found many spruce, ornately embellished nilitary in our hotel and about town, such as are always found in the far-off rear “just hefore the battle.” They are mostly of the commissary and quartermaster kid- ney, with a sprinkling of medical vents, in soldier togzery, who attend to commissioned combatants that have become suddenly sick from goneness of pluck and palpitation of the heart. This class of soldiers (?) are, by nature and opportunity, pre-eminent as “mashers™ of soft-horned commandants and sus- ceptible females. After supper our band was_ trotted around under the wings of these ardent worshippers of “the sex” and safe posi- tions, serenading the ladies till bedtime, when it was proposed to go out to head- quarters and give Gen. J. E. Johnston a serenade, Ll objeeted to this as utter- ly incongruous in such a erisis; that Gen. Jolnston was not a “carpet- knight,” but a brusque, matter-of-fact soldier, over-loaded at present with most vital responsibilities, who would be annoyed, and possibly feel incensed and insulted by such an imopportune serenade. But the enthusiastic projec- tors of this fix pas were positive that he would be delighted with our “splendid music”; so, with the excep- tion of myself and one of the band— ‘Theo. F. Wolle, now teacher of music in the Moravian College at Bethlehem, Pa.--it was unanimously voted proper to vive Gen. Johnston a douse of our delectable music. Under such pressure | withdrew my veto and went. At the elose of our first piece a grim orderly, as stiff and straight as the musket he hugged, marched up to us and spake thus, “Gen. Johnston says stop that damned noise and get away from here, or he will have you all arrested for dis- turbing him!’ Any attempt to de- scribe the effect of this terse address would impugn the imagination of the reader. lh short, therefore, he ordered us to “git” and we “got, you bet’; but we hadn't got far before a “wind” storm of the most profuse, anathemati- cal, and hydratongued profanity broke out all over that discomtited, self-sold crowd excepting Wolle and myself, who fairly screained out laughter all the way back to Winchester. As Gen. Patterson had not advanced, Col. Fisher rode to town next morning and settled up in full with me, giving separate passes home for each of the band, saying his expectations had been overtilled, since the North Carolina band was generally conceded to be by far the best that had come to the front. He invited any or all of the band who desired to see the impending battle fought to remain and mess with him; and several of us did, for in the then excited and expectant condition of the people it would have been deemed dis- graceful in a uniformed body of men to be seen and heard as a band returning | from the seat of war beforea battle had | been fought. The result isa matter of history, so I will only briefly outline its effect on | Col. Fisher. Patterson slipped off from | Juhnston; but the datter, an old, shrewd soldier, understood the game, and made a counter move,—a rapid, ' forced march to Manassas, and got there at mud-liy, when the battle | (“Bull Run”) was aimost fought out, and Beauregard was in much the same vredicament that Wellington was iniat Waterloo when Blucher re-enforced him, for, using his own words, “victory hung in the balance,” perceptibly in- clining to the Northern side. But Johnston soon turned the scale cver- whelmi.gly against the Northern troops. ; As soon us his regunent took posi- tion, Col. Fisher advaneed alone,— to reconnoitre, it was supposed,-— and was shot in the forehead and instantly killed. He was warned against this! foolish temerity, bat followed closely, | by his faithful negro servant, who at | once seized and carried his corpse to the | rear, [ always believed that it would | have been far better for the South and | the whole country if the result of that, battle had been reversed, Jim Smith got back to Richmond and stayed there; bat he took with bint | from the battle-tield several of the on- | struments and the monster bass drum — | with its band card painted on the off Neal —of Joe Green's American Band, of Providence, KR. 1. As Joe and his band had been the gucsts of Jim Smith, in Richmond, just one year penoely, the big instruments of the and coming back to him in this way furnished the points of Jim's joke— par excellence—to me whenever I saw him, as I always did, when ing through Richmond, all during the war. After the war I lost track of him, hav- ing never stopped over in that city since. I am therefore unable to state how Joe Green and Jim Smith le that instrumental muddle, if at all. ——- <> +e Men Who Get Along Best, It seems a pity to say it, but obser- vation sustains the statement that men of course fibre, obtuseness of feeling and cold-headed cireumspection in dealing with their fellows get along better than men of chivalrous instincts, deli- cate sensibilities and that generous credulity which those practice who, never meditating wrong th.mselves, never suspect it in others. The gentle- man in the best acceptance of the term, finds Jordan is a hard road to travel, and often sigs to be at the end of the journey. He is annoyed by the imper- tinent inquisitivenss, saddened by the meanness and often robbed by rascals who have taken his measure as the hawk does of some gentler bird it selects for its prey. The publig men in the country, who had a high eode of ethies have been constantly misunderstood. The rough and ready class will not un- understand reserve, and the schemer and seamp laughs at honesty. ven in the very domestic circle too fine a sense of the proprieties misses its mark, and society only recognizes surface manners. It does not care to go deeper. In fact it dares not do so. It is a mel- ancholy thing that the man who edu- cates his children as nearly as possible to the ideal plane of thought and con- duct simply prepares them for sorrow and mishaps. What a transition from the ingenious, confiding and noble-spir- ited young man of twenty-one and the sobered and handsome man of fifty who has seen all illusions trampled in_ the nure. Still, for all this, it is best to aim high, live purely and sincerely, and and even at the cost of isolation, pre- seeve your own soul from stigma or stain. ven the world does late justice over the graves of those who had the courage to speak and act the truth. 2 ee —— Would Pay for It.

The health of a town has much to do with its prosperity. We believe the mortuary list of Salisbury will compare favorably with any town in the State; and that this is due to the sanitary regu- lations heretofore required by the town authorities, aud generally, freely complied with by our citizens. There is no time of the year when filth will not poison the atmosphere, but it is generally conceded that when the weather becomes warm enough to stagnate water, the time has arrived for the employment of sanitary means to ward off disease. It is a ques- tion for the decision of the board of Com- missioners and their mandates on the subject will no doubt be obeyed. ae a ees SALISBURY.

Then, by this rule, the above result is Republicanism in town affairs, and, by the same rule, in order to be just all around, we will make our estimate of Democracy. Two years ago the present administra- j tion took the $27.48 and shouldered the burthen of their debts, and to-day their books render the following account : They refunded the wrongful meat vendors tax, every dollar of the whole $500; paid the Morrison judgment in full; took up the notes given to secure payment of the graded school debts; satisfied the smaller Republican arrearage, and yet found /enough reyenue to accomplish the im- provements enumerated below. They built an addition to the graded school building at a cost of $200; put down gas mains, and crected strect lamps to the amount of $500; put $400 worth of macadam on the streets; built a station house that cost $325; expended $450 in hose and repairs on fire engines, and yet find a balance on hand sufficient funds to mect the first: payment of our ‘Vater Works rental.

The alarming disease of this country is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under many names but it is essen- tially the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu- tions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United States is de- creasing every year. Suddea deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess- ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark, The majority of sui- cides, committed without ap- parent reason, or under so-called “depression of spirits,” are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful source of insanity and exime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros- perity. They wreck manhood’s strength and woiuan’s useful- ness and beauty.

To their office there is no par- allel in the after history of the church. The only and true successors of the apostles, are the inspired Looks of the New Testament. §. In the sixth place, we learn the sacredness of the first day of the week —the christian Sabbath—the Lord's day. It is the weekly memorial of the i first day of the risen life of Jesus. Creation thus yields to redemption, or irather beautifully merges into it, sand both are perpetuated to be com- | memorated “to the end of the world.” — > ec Panthers Pursued and Killed Parkersburg, (W.

The Each seems to have fad its special signifi- vance, and were doubtless prearranged xy the risen redeemer on a definite plan, for special purposes and designed to convey definite lessons. But the fifth is in some respects still more. sig- nificant than any of the preceding ones.

The de- predations were limited to a radius of twenty square nules. It was finally de- cided to organize a hunting party for the purpose of ridding the neighborhood of these dangerous animals. On the day before that agreed upon for the hunt a number of children were playing near a small log school house, when they heard the howling of a dog on the wooded hillside, and a moment later a thoroughly convinced and thoroughly At this evening meeting the ten pres- eat are humbled, reproved, convinced, assured and btessed. = Let’ us look in upon their late evening assembly: the ten are telling to the two from Em- manus, Who have just come in, what Peter had seen, and these two tell in return what they saw and felt on their wilk and at Kmmaus. They are still discussing the events of the day, when suddenly is heard the sound of a voice, well known and familiar to them: Peace be unto you,” and Jesus him- self stands before them-—in their very nudst. How precious, significant and suggestive this blessed word *Peace”’ at such a moment. The first impression, however, so nat- ural and worthy of note, and recorded by the Evangelists themselves—none having yet seen him but Peter-—was tlarm and terror, and the Savior first undertakes to relieve their agitation and alarm and convince them of his actual resurrection and restored bodily lite. “Why are ye troubled? and why do questioning and doubting thoughts arise in your minds? — Behold) my hands and my feet, that it is [ myself.

And the first lesson of this sacred evening is the risen Redeemer’s endorse- ment of the old Testament Scriptures. panther was seen to leapon the dog and tear him to pieces. The children fled into the schoolhouse and barred the shutters. Through the crevises they saw the panther creep stealthily to with- in afew rods of the building, where he stood erect, and lashing his tail uttered his peculiar human-hke screams. It then mounted the fence, stretched its cat-like body out at full length, and, af- ter a few more screams, which terrified the timid children, it bounded off and svon disappeared among the trees. The children remained in the closed building till nightfall, when a passing farmer was hailed. He summoned a dozen neighbors, and under their escort the children were sent to their homes. The alarm spread quickly through the neighborhood, and by nine o'clock the sane evening twenty-five men and sixty dogs had gathered for the panther hunt. The trail was fresh, but the dogs ap- peared reluctant to follow it, but finally, encouraged by the hunters, they struck across the mountanous country. For two or three miles the chase continued until the panther was traced intoa nar- row canon between the cliffs. Before the hunters came up the animal had given battle to the dogs, and m a few moments had torn one to pieces and had mangled two others, the remaining ones in the pack beat a hasty retreat. Pine torches were soon lighted, and, borne by a dozen hunters, the canon was soot ablaze with light, the men: Ife affixes to them the seal of his own divine attestation. © Any depreciation os demal of the old Testament, is an Ja torch in each hand, with his pairins off, one of each couple carrying gun | strapped upon his back, while his com jover a hundved feet above. — Its tail wa: “swaying tound fro, Orders were quick- lor twenty guns were sent at the head | lof the panther.

The return trip of the hunters was a joyful one, with the hides of the pan- thers hung on poles between a couple of stalwart men. and their march en- livened by the clamor of the dogs. b> <> a Manasas Relics. oston The results of Yankee enterprise in pushing the Old Dominion forward to wealth and = prosperity are nowhere more seen than in that old town at whose outskirts was fought the first battle of the late war, writes a Manasas, Va., correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. About a year ago a Con- necticut peddler came along, and while disposing of his goods conceived one of those grand ideas which eminate only from a Yankee mind. He rented a store room, had representations of | the battle paiuted on the door, and adver- tised extensively in towns and cities on the Virginia Midland railroad that he had a collection of precious relics from the battle of Manasas which he would sell at a low rate. About the same time he received several barrels and hottels from Springtield, Mass., and then he was ready for business. When the relic store was opened it looked like a little arsenal. Guns and pistols of all kinds and in every stage of decom- position. hung on the walls or stood in the windows; tattered battle-flags lay about in confusion, and flattened bul- lets were to be seen by the bushel. Most relics were labeled with the date of the discovery and other interest- ing information about the relic hunters twenty years in gathering the precious |. mementoes. As Manasas is situated at the junction of the two railroads, there is daily a number of persons stop- ping over for a few hours. Few of these can resist the batt!e-scene and a look in the queer shop. Once inside they are sure to come away with some relics, for the Yankee can describe the hattle so vividly and speck with such pathos of the poor failen heroes to whom this or that relic belonged that only a heart of stone conld) hold out. Within three months after the open- ing of the store he had to send to Springtield after another consignment of relics, but those did not go off so readily, as rumors were circulated cast- ing a doubt over the origin. Still, a fair busipesS was carried on, and the Yankee is said to have made such prot- its as will enabic him to retire in afilu- ence like his predecessor, Dick Moon, which is why L remark the results of Yankee enterprises in the south are nowhere more scen than at Manaszs. rr — A Bowmanville, Ont., merchant. re- cently received an envelope contain- ing $150 and the following letier. “I wall of the canon, rolling | with young men.

A 12-year-old school boy, who had to be called a dozen times in the morn- ing before he came down to breakfast, was roused from his matin slumbers the other day by a loud clap of thun- der, the electric bolt knocking a big hole in the roof, going through the ceiling, splitting open the headboard of the bed. singeing his hair, and passing through the Hoor and out at the kitch- en door.

If reports be true the County Com- missioners, as wardens of the poor, will probably have more frequent applica- tions for assistance from persons out- side the poor house this year than usual. This results from several causes, of which inay be named the fact that merchants have about quit furnishing supplies and taking mortgages on the prospective crop. Another cause is the exhausted con- dition of those who have paid up their mortgages and other debts, and have nothing left to sustain them in making another crop. Another canse may be found in the inability of ordinarily well to do per- sons to aid the untortunate around them; for it is well understood that farmers and everybody else lean upon each other to a certain extent, and the fall of one endangers the stability of another. However numerous and varied the causes, it is generally admitted that there are more helpless or dependent ple in the county now, than ever fore. And it is in view of this probable fact that itis conjectured that applications for relief are likely to be more numerous than usual, County Commus:ioners are not al- ways in tbe best position to know what course to’ pursue in relation to such cases, amd very properly require well attested facts in every particular case; and it necessarily requires time to | gather desired information. There are good men in every neighborhood, and un these it nivy devoive to report such cases as are fit stbjects to prefer claims | for assistance; ana fiow sources lke these more acceptiole uiforimation must ultimately come, and through whom benefactions can be more properly and eva sUCL certainly couter aoe _ Trucking poys well an the eastern counties of tue State. and some ariicles easily produced mi this section might, doubtless, be made to pay if caretully managed. ‘The R deish ies-Observer reports the result of an experiment made by a farmer on the railroad be- tween Goldsboro and Wilmington, last year, with snap beans.

For the grade of tobacco sold, prices compare favorably with any market in the State, averaging about six dollars a The reason of this low aver- age is because most of the fancy tobacco is hauled off to old established markets. This tobacco has been manufactured here by the following firms: Holines & Gaskill about 310,000 Ibs.

The discrepancy in the figures above of about J00,000 los. is probably due to no aecount being taken of what was) barned in the Miller & Robertson fire. New Lumber Yard. Mr. P. M.

Advance :—I am not a talking man, but I have been so thoroughly diszusted with some of the absurd, ridiculous sug- gestions of candidates for the ensuing election, that I feel constrained to suggest to our voters that they give to this ques- tion their most earnest, serious consider- ation. It is easy and pleasant to suggest the name of asocialffriend ora political friend for places, but what has social friendships or political preferences to do with a city office. The one indispensible qualification for such a position is capability and but few possess it. Trial has shown that our present Mayor has this qualification in an eminent de- gree. The safest policy for us therefore scems to be, to hold fast to the tried good, rather than-risk a chance that we may be sorry when remedy is beyond our reach.

As education is the topic of conversation in town now, and has been tor several days, your correspondent thought that an article on this subject would be of in- terest to your readers, and do the cause good. —Enochville High School, on the 22nd inst., closed one of the best paying and most successful sessions ever taught here.

Emory of Baltimore as President and treasurer, Mr. H. G. Tyson of Salisbury as Secretary, and Mr. Jobn Jacobs Superintendent. They propose going to work at once both on their own ores and on custom work. Their mill is fitted out with the Meares Chloronation Process and is capable of working sulphuretted ores to a very close margin. Mr. Jacobs is well known by the mining men of this section and the very fact of his having charge, will be4 enough to give confidence in the manage- ment of the mill. This is a home enterprise and we think it will be to the interest of all who have sulphuretted ores to send them here. Success to it. The Mining Railroad building from Thomasville is nearly completed and we are informed is a unique affair. ‘Trees are cut down and run through a machine which turns them all the same size they are then laid down on sleepers and used as rails. The wheels on locomotives and cars are grooved and fit over the rails. On one side all the wheels are fastened on to the axles like an ordinary wagon thus adapting themselves to any small difference in the distance of rails apart. It is said that there is no slips and that they pull immense loads. Sixty thousand dollars worth of ma- chinery is now on the ground for the smelting works, building at Thomasville by a Northern company. The works will cover the largest part of ten acres. A rich find of copper is reported from Ashe Count. The ore is said to assay 96 per cent, pure copper and the supply is immense. A company has been organized in Chat- tanooga, to re-open the Welburn Hill about 12 miles south-east of Murphy, near the Georgia line. gold imine, They are cleaning out what is known as the Bird Nest shaft, at the Concord mine (old Crowell) in Stanly county.

Arrowwood, otf Bethpage, who in their happy and im- pressive Way, greatly helped the cause otf education, The plan, upon which this school is or- ganized, has worked so well and has been a success beyond a peradventure, that I wish to set it before the public ina plain way. = By permission of the Board of Education and the hearty approval ot the County Superintendent of Public In- struction, a plaa was adopted in the year Iss, by which to utilize the public inoney to the best and most advantage, to all between the age of six and twenty-one in this district. THE PLAN, Ist. A Board of trustees is annually elected by the patrons, who, with the Pubhe Sehool Committe, have the entire control of the school for one year with the following restrictions : (a) None but first-class teachers shall be employed as instructors. (b) ‘Lhe school year shall not be more than ten months, nor less than nine, (c) Every child between the age of 6 and twenty-one, who have their homes Within this district, shall be entitled to four months free tuition and shall have the privilege to choose any four months out of the session as free time. (dq) Persons not entitled to free tuition Whether living in this district or not, shall be admitted as pay scholars, aud the price of tuition shall be from 1 to $2.50 per month, payable quarterly. Thus you see dear reader, that we come forward with our money and suppliment the public fund, and thus piacing an ed- ucation within easy reach of even the poorest. We always have sufficient teaching force to accommodate all the young men and ladies, who may wish to enter this school, and we put tuition at about halt of what it is clsewhere, in schools ot equal grade. We have a healthy and clean Village, with no dram shops to con- tend with. Those desiring to educate their children should organize siinilar schools near them, bat if you cannot do this then send your sons and daughters here and we will educate them at half the popular prices. Now let us all go to work, and make Rowan what it should be. 9 Our next session will open August 2nd and the music school will open at the same time. — nD <> aa Going to Charleston. / Washisvtoh, April 23.—Seeretery Lamar accompanicd by Secreters Paisehiid.

Why Maids will Wed. A good wife rose from her bed one mo%n And thought with nervous dread, Of the piles on piles of clothes to be washed, uv And the duzen of mouths to be fed. ‘““There’s the meals to get fur the men in the field, - And the children to fix away to school, And all the milk to be skimined and churned— And all to be done this day.” It had rained in the night and all the wood Was wet as it could be. There were puddings and pies to bake Aud a loaf of cake for tea; And the day was hot, and her aching head Throbbed wearily as she said : “If maidens but knew what good wives know The’y not be in haste to wed.” “Annie, what do you think I told Ned Brown ?” Called the farmer from the well— And a flush crept up to his bronzed brow Aud his eyes half bashfully fell. “Tt was this: And coming near he smiled. “Tt was this: That you are the best And the dearest wite in town.” The farmer went back to the field, And the wife, in a smiling, absent way, Sang snatches of tender little songs She’d not sung in many a day. And the pain in her head was gone and her clothes Were as white as the foam of the sea, And her butter as sweet and goleen as it could be. The night came down— The good wife smiled to herself as she said; “Tis so sweet to labor for those we ‘love It is not strange that maids will wed.” —Detroit Free Press. —_— ~<a The Agricultural College. The Raleigh Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch says: ‘To~lay your correspondence had a pleasant interview with Mr. W. 5. Primrose, on of the three gentlemen who made an extensive tour in search of information concern- ing agricultural and) mechanical col- leges. Messrs. Primrose, Dabney and Fries first visited the Miller School in Albemarle county, Va. which they consider a very fine in-titution. ‘Phe limitation of its usefulness to one coun- ty is of course a great drawback. Some parts of the course of instruction they do regard with as much favor as feat- ures of other schools they visited, yet they were greatly impressed. After leaving the Miller school, Messrs. Prim- rose and Dabney went to Toledo Ohio, Carlisle on "Democracy. Ata reception to John G, Carlisle, given by the Kentucky Democratic Club in Coy ington, Ky.. Mr. Carlisle made « short speech, from which the following extract is takent “T want to say to all Democrats that we would be unworthy of our name if we al- lowed any number of reverses to dishearten | us. The growth of the Democratic party | in che last tweuty-five years has been won- derful, At the close of the war we were | entirely without power, we had no offices | or patronage, and were practically ostra- | cized from a share in the affairs of the gove' ernment. The democracy had a political | faith founded on the pris ‘ciples of Jefferson, and they fought for it gallantly is hope of rew ard. There has never been time since 1878 when the majority of the | people were not in favor of the principles | of the democratic party. I want to impress upon you the necessity of standing x to your principles in any emergency, and at all elec- tions no matter how small and unimportant they seem to be, No party can be success- ful in any country unless it has principles upon w hich it will stake its existence before the people. This country is of full vagaries on the power of goverment Some w ant it to become a great clemosywary institution for the care of everybody; some want it to purchase the railroads and telegraph lines; some want it to interfere with the people's private business; some want it to loan mon- ev to indignent peop!e.—It is impossible to enumerate the schemes to rob the taxpay- ers for the benefit of somebody clse. We must overcome the Socialistic theories abroad in the land. We must stand every- where forthe protection of both capital and labor. We must stand everywhere for the ! rights of men to do their business with their own money in their own way. If the Democratic Party docs not do this it mizht as well cease to exist.” ~—-—>- Hust Not Touch Tecenaael Key West, Fla., April 15.—The United States steamer Yautie arrived here this afternoon from Port au Principe, Hayti. It is reported on good authority that while at Port au Principe, Commander Greene, positively and oflicially forbade the English men-of-wa) in that harbor to execute their threat of seizing the Tor- tugas Island. The report has created considerable excitement among both the American and Spanish population. The above is a special to the New York World of Friday morning. ‘To it the edi- tor adds: Late in March it was reported from Havanna that England had demanded of Hayti the immediate payment of $1,000,- 000 on au old claim orshe would seize the island of Tortugas. A day or two after came the rumor that Iugland had issued an ultimatum to the eflect that ifthe claim were not satisfied within five days an English man-of-war, then in Haytien waters, would bombard the principal ports of the Republic. At this time the American consul at Hayti has kept the State Department at where there is a splendid school. It is a continuation of the high school sys- tem, and is modeled upon the famous St. Louis School. Next they visited Lansing, Mich., where there is a re- miarkable agricultural colleze. Every- thing pertaining to agriculture and to the farm, the care of cattle, ec., is taught. ‘There is rather a curious specialty of this school--a cattle de- partment. This is devoted to the rais- ing of cattle for beef. Only the best breeds are used, and sales are made all over the State, the plan being to imn- prove the quality of the beef. This de- partinent pays handsomely. [tis in fact the only part that does pay expeuses. After leaving Lansiug and this Hne school, Messrs. Primrose and Dabney went to Uhicago, where they inspected the Manual Training School. This is endowed by the board of trade. It is worthy of the city, and is doing good work. It also is moddled upon the St. Louis School. The lattler was the next one visited, and it is pronounced one of the best manual training-schools in the country. Everything is taught properly ond thoroughly. The work in metal is admirable, as well us draw- ing—mechanical and otherwise. Mr. Primrose went from St. Louis to Stark- ville, Miss., where there is one of the best agricultural colleges in the South, and the only purely agricultural college in the United States. The pupils, ‘of whom there are nearly 400, do all the work on the farm, look after thestock, ke. General Stephen D. Lee is presi- dent. A feature of this school is its dairy. It owns some 2,000 acres of land and 200 head of cattle—all of good breeds. There is a creamery which uses the milk of these cattle, as well as all that can be obtained from the farmers for ten miles around. The cream is only used and paid for the milk being returned to the farmers. The making of good butter is carefully taught. New Orleans takes ev ery pound made at thirty-five cents per pound. This feature of the school pays, and pays well. It is rather cu- rious to note that at Lansing beef cat- tle and at Starkville milk cattle yields the best returns. Mr. Fries visited a small but well equipped ahd excellent school in Maryland. Mr. Primrose, as chairman of the committee, will make up his report, covering the results of the observations of all three of the gen- tlemen composing it. ‘The report will be submitted to the Board of Agricul- ture and trustees of the Agricultural Mechanical College at a meeting to be held here on the 20th instant, at which the college is to be regularly organ- ized. —~—<Po-___——_ A Woman's Sweet Will.

In it, speaking in the character of Judge Lynch, he says that he is wil- ling to abandon the power he has assum- ed and return to the law. but the law must first purify itself. Under the rules of evidence, he claims, the men who were lynched could not have been convicted.

They are widely known, how- ever, for their strict ower and probity in business. The Shakers believe that na- ture has aremedy for every dis- ease. A few have been found— the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci- dent. Others came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com- paratively new Hee growing out of the conditions of modern life. Itisa joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervous system, These two were formerly treated as sepa- rate ailments, and 15 was loft -for the clea wr-sighted Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal comphi- cation lies chiefly in the disord- ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition, They reasoned thus:—“Ié we can in- duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre- tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat- ters which remain after the life- giving clements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys- pepsia and Nervous Exhaust- ion, And they were nght. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker ‘Extract (Seigel’s Syrup) in. less complicated though similar Giseases, they ‘resolved to test. it fully in this.

Inno country in the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or continual head- ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau- seous cructations ; the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppress- ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake- fulness and loss of sleep; dis- gust with food even when weak from the need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth, especially on ris- ing in the morning; furred and coated tongue; cull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipation ; dry or rough skin ; inability to fix the mind on any labor call- ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore- bodings and fears, All this _ terrible Shaker Extract Syrup) removes by its pos- itive, powerful, eee yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation.

They are too lazy to work, and after becoming “naturaliz- ed,’ so to speak, in the new world to which they are sent, they essay to take control of the penitentiary. keep sharp knives in their possession, sass back at the guards, aud have immunity from restraint and panishinent, The spectacle was witnessed a few days ago of about sixty negro scoun- drels refusing to obey the ofticers of the Penitentiary and defying the whole foree for a space of about 2 hours. The officers didn't want to hurt them and pleaded with them and prayed for them. Thirty minutes was long enough to give prisoners to obey orders; after that a drenching in cold water and a tire from trusty rifles would have put an end to such in subordination. — [t is a bad state of affairs when conviers make demands and officers even listen to them. Perfect diseipline alone will “hand the wretch in order.” There are too many men in the Penitentiary: they are not made to work faithfully. and it is almost impossible to maike their labor profitable.

HOW THE TUBULAR AND RIBBON MACA- RONI 18 MADE IN THE LARGEST FACTORY IN AMERICA---ITS QUEER SHAPES. “You give me chalk for cheese,” is an old [talion saw that was evidently never intended to be applied to macaroni. You might fool an Italian on chalk, but if there is one thing above another upon which your average Neapolitan or (renoese prides himself it is his knowl- ‘edge of his national dish. He knows it from its Alpha tu its Omega, and will tell you that its name was derived from the Greek Hesych, which means “per- fect happiness —bliss.” And he'll tell you that macaroni worthy of its name. There is only one big establishment in Philadelphia where macaroni made, and that is located at Kighth and Christian streets. There are several small places where the paste is made by hand, aud many Italian famthes pre- pare their own. How is it made?” is is The first thing necessary is to nnx | For this pur- and knead the dough. pose a large wooden bowl or trough 1s required, the size of which ais six feet! in diumeter and over one foot in depth. In this a millstone revolves, weighing over 8,000 pounds. About 200 pounds of flour is emptied into the bowl, and enough water added to make a thick dough. ‘This is spread around the in- side of the bowl. The machinery is ‘then put in motion, and the heavy stone wheel begins to revolve upon the flour and water, which have been plac- ed in such a way that the weight and ‘motion of the wheel are continually pressing, rolling and kneading it. From the roller the dough goes to the presser. This is an iron machine, cylindrical in form about two feet in ‘height and one and a half feet in diam- eter, which is placed in a perpendicular position. The lid of the presser, which is of ‘solid iron and fits exaetly inside of the cylinder, is connected with a large steel screw of immense power. The bottom of the presser is a cop- per plate one and a half inches m thickness, and is perforated with small holes. About one hundred pounds of the dough are put into the press. The lid is them fitted on and the machinery started. The immmense power of the screw is now seen, as it gradually forces the lid toward the bottom. The effect of this pressure upon the dough serves to force it through the holes im the bottom, from which it emerges in tube-like form. The holes in the cop- per plate are filled in the center, so that the dough ean only be forced through around the edges, and in that way the macaroni is made hollow. When tha larger varieties of maca- roni are to be cut into different sizes, quantities of it are spread upon a heavy slab and an attendant who is an ex- pert in the work, proceeds to ent the stock as required. ‘The kmife used has a blade twenty inches in length. The handle is held firmly in the ngit hand, while the left hand is used as a_ lever. So precise is the work that the pieces ent seldom vary the sixteenth of an inch, In cutting the smaller fancy paste, a presser, plac d- horizon- | tally, is used, and an attachment con-} sisting of several short knives worked by steam, cuts the goods as required, as | they emerge. After coming from the presses the inacaroni Is placed upon wooden trays and conveyed to the drying room, It is then spread uso wooden frames, fonr feet wide and eicht feet long. — Across the bottoms of the frames a network of heavy twine is made, and upon this is spread thick brown paper, The macaroni is put on top of the paper, and the frame is placed upon a large rack th. reache, from floor to ceiling. As great quantities of these goods are consumed their manufacture for- nishes a distinet braud of trade, which gives employment to many people. tn Philadelphia their are several of these { kinds and the | manufactories, the one here deseribed MAY 5, 1887 ond ae NE RTS being the | one of the place alon pounds of A sing day, and ready sale is found for the entire lot, part of which is: shipped to California und even to the Sandwich Islands. — Philadelphia Herald. ee Three Wrong Guesses.

This is (and ought to be) one of the busiest times of the whole year to those who depend on farming for a living. Jt is the season for planting~—for pitch- ing the crop. Thorough preparation of the soil before seeding is a heavy part of the business. — few persons take extra pains to prepare a good seed bed, and consequently their success 1 farming is nothing to brag of. Those who do take the necessary cure are the few who make farming pay. — As in every other occupation so in this——‘“a! thing worth doing is worth doing) well.” But in this section nearly all the planting has been done. — It 1s nearly time for the grass and weeds of May and June tou begin to assert themselves, and to challenge the farmer to the bat- tle.

The mother sings her fretful child to sleep; and sound, low and monotonous, it is asserted, 1s concusive to sleep, provided it 1s con- tinuous, like the murmuring sound of a Howing stream of water. ‘The ticking of a clock, or of a watch under the pillow, is concusive to sleep. The interruption to these sounds by sudden stopping is apt to wake persons whose sleep is not very firm. Interruptions to the condition then, is the cause of waking at untimely hours.

Day, her husband, thereupon disappear- ed, and the woman and her children, It has been suggested that the Saw was idle last week, or that it was dull and being tiled, but neither suggestion is cor- rect. ‘That there was vo saw dust gath- ered last week is an evident fact, but it is accounted for in consequence of the rain and wind last week, “Saw handle No. 4” holds a fine blade and consequently produces fine dust, but as fast as the dust fell, yea at each stroke of the saw, before becoming settled, the wind drove it away hence none could be collected. We have been told (though we do not vouch for the truth of the statement) that avery excellent piece was written for the WATCHMAN last week but just as the author finished the document and signed “Saw handle No. 4,’?a sudden dash of wind snatched it from his table (being on the piazza) and elevated it beyond the range of u kite and it has not been heard from since. We would suggest that it may have reached the Bermuda Islands, but likely as not found its destiny in the Atlantic Ocean. So we can give but little consolation to the writer. Affairs about Saw are going on about as usual we think. Farm work is being pushed vigorously now—have had good rains—the planting is about completed. The prospects for a good wheat crop are flattering, fur which we should all feel thankful. The prospects for a fruit crop, especially apples, is good; the peach- es will not be plentiful in this section. Saw came well nigh being in need of some kind of water works with which to fight fire a short time since; fire had found its way into some kind of plunder near Leazar’s Mill, supposed to have come from the yicinity of the engine, and but for its timely detection and arrest, would soon have made a chemical change of the entire mill and attachments. Mr. C. N. Bostian’s new dwelling at Saw is now beginning to wear the hue of the snow clad Alpine Heights. We hope the time is not far distant when all the government foundries of Alcoholic and Narcotics will be demol- ished and education’s brilliant standard be erected on the ruins thereof. For such Saw is anxiously looking, An cffort assisted by public contributions, was sent to frends for protection. ———_ — ~ ipo - ———- Boys who look upon life as a serious is now being made for the establishment of a good school in this place.

It bas been observed of late that comparatively few farmers are coming to town. = It is regarded as a good in- dication, inspiring the hope that we shall have “bread for the eater and seed for the sower. — - The following special dispatch was sent to the Charlotte Obserrer, Monday night, and published in Tuesday’s is- sue of that paper : Sauisstry, N.(., May 2.-Mr. E! B. Neave, the Democratic nominee, | was elected Mayor of Salisbury by a} majority of 48 votes—a Democratic loss of 133 votes. It is easy to jump to conclusions without being sure you are right. Be- sides, it saves time and for present pur- poses is as good as the truth to those who proceed in that way. But the reported Democratic Joss of 133 is ut- terly without foundation as figures| will easily show. To make this ap- nt let the votes of the two preced- ing elections Le seen : 1883. J. A. Ramsay, for Mayor, Republican, te John F. Hoss, Democrat, o~e ~l ov Ramsay's majority, 17 31d 136 1885. E. B. Neave, Democrat, “J. A. Ramsay, Republican, 4887. E. B. Neave, Democrat, 320 “J. H. Ramsay, Republican, 274 Now where is the “Democratic loss!" Instead of a Joss the Democrats have steadily increased their vote, to-wit: 259—815—520. The boot is on the other leg; fur these tigares show in the two test elections cof ISS3 and 1887, that the Kepnblicaus have lost. treo votes, They failed to show up in 1885 In consequence of erroneous registra- tion, so that at was neta test of their party strength. But the clectiors of 1888 and 1SS7 were hotly contested and the figures afford a complete refu- tation of “Deimoeratic loss.” 2 eat eee - _ Three new treatments of consump=- tion are announced, forall of which is} claimed very decided efficiency, en- couraging the hope that a true remedy will be found inthe near future.

The day is not fardistant when we may posits of the South, It has already begun in certain parts of the South and it will spread in all directions. The object of this sketch is not for speculation, but is intended for a more practical purpose; to serve as an index to the leading natural sources of iron in North Caro- lina, EASTERN ORE BED3. The iron ores have a very large range in North Carolina; beginning in the Eastern part of the State we have the so- called “bog” ores, which are beds of clayey and sandy brown ore. The first considerable bed of this character is found in Nash county. This material was used during the wars of 1812 and 1861-5, and is said to have a metalifer- ous value of 42 per cent. of iron. Other beds of like character occur in Pender and Duplin counties. In the counties of Halifax and Gran- ville occurs considerable beds of heima- tite. This ore isknown as specular, and contains some magnetic grains dissemi- nated through the mass. It assays up to 60 per cent. metallic iron, with some phosphorus. At other localities the ore is highly magnetic. All these ores are of remarkable purity and are adapted to the manufacture of steel. CENTRAL ORE BEDs, Coming nearer the centre of the State, the eres of Johnston, Wake, Chatham and Orange counties claim attention. In the first two counties the ores are limonite, and are not so valuable as the hematites. The Buckhorn mine, near the county line between Chatham and Harnett, is one of the largest deposits in middle North Carolina. It is more than 30 feet thick, The ore is specular, and is said to jcarry a large percentage of manganese | and the capacity to produce spiegeleisen | | c oe Without admixture of other ores.” Be- sides this large deposit, there are a nuin- ber of similar deposits, but smaller in size the There are also in Vicinage. limonites and hematites scattered in vari- | ous parts of Chatham of more or less i value. The Black Band or Ball ore of the coal micasures possess merit ina high degree, These are argillaceous and calcareous | carbonates ofiron, and are co-extensive j with the coal on Deep river. Emmons says of this ore: “It contains 33 cent. of metallic iron; the surface ores being altered oU per contain cent.” There are several seams of this ore from | ' 16 inches to two feet in thickness. The Evans vein near Gulf isa hematite and is 6 feet thick, Ore Hillis the most noted deposit in Chathain. The ore is limonite and hema- | } | | | 1 | | This material iseusily smelted: jtaken in connection with the Ball | Which isa successful flux, adunirable con- | i ture is furnished, The Valuable bank of iron in Orange is near Chapel Hill. | hematite and is frum 7 to 25 feet thick.

The iron ores of Montgomery and Randolph connties bel geologically speaking, to the ranges above described. ong, There are several workable beds in these counties. Guilford county is rich in iron. “One of the most remarkable and persistent ranges of iron ore in the State crosses the county of Guilford in a northeast and southwest direction, passing about ten northwest miles of Grecusboro, Friendship. It extends from the head- waters of Abbott’s Creek, county, entirely across Guilford to Haw hear | | | in) Davidson | thirty miles,’ ) granular magnetite. There is a second | paealel range a short distance west of | this, and there is still another belt ruu- j ning parallel to the former and three jmiles from it, called the Highfield. or ; Shaw outcrop. The vein is 6 feet thick: | good ore, In a yards | thousand tons above water level , in the | one six foot bed. These ore beds have j nut been fully explored, and there is | amined. | WESTERN ORE BEDS, | ‘The counties of Gaston, Lincoln and | Catawba present a grand range of iron | ores, Inostly magnetic, with more or hematite. Prof. @.B. Hanna, of Char- j lutte, has made a study of these 1 lean supply reliable data. There are }a large number of beds ranging from $ to | 10 teet and upwards to 18 and vu feet in | thickness. ‘Lhese ores have been worked jto some extent and with promise for perluancnt operationsin the future. anges In jau articie of this kind only bare mention of the best known jocahiies cau be made.

One neur Hickory is six feet thick. In Caldwell the deposit on Gun Powder Creek is reported as very large. Iron was made here 35 or 40 yearsago. There are outcrops in Caldwell trateable for several miles in length, and with a thick- ness of from one to eight and ten feet. These beds also oceur in McDowell and Watauga counties, and in Mitchell and Ashe. In Mitchell the famous Cranberry ore bank at once claims attention. It is fifteen hundred feet in length and is from two to eight hundred feet wide. The ore is remarkably pure magnetite, and produces a soft tough iron. The product of the Cranberry furnace always brings a price in advance of the market. There , tre numerous deposits of similar ore in | Mitchell and Ashe. Some of the more | prominent beds in the latter county have | been traced for miles in length. In fact, this whole tramontane region may be /termed as iron producing, since not a ; county is without considerable ore beds. Cherokee is remarkably rich in limonite | Ores, and the same might be said of other counties. The detail of much of the | foregoing may be found in Kerr’s Geology of North Carolina, and in. other publica- tions distributed by the Department of Agriculture, I ee ae P. 8.

Although her health had been declining for several mouths she seeme.l better at times and no especial uneasiness was felt by these who Saw her daily. The intellect was so clear—her interest in the concerns of her household and family so keen that vo one imagined that the time of her removal from .the things of earth) could be so near. Suddenly called, her breath ceased after a few gasping efforts and she was gone! Mrs. McNecely's life hud been filled with varied ex- periences. Many rich blessings had been granted her—but she had likewise known many of a woman's keenest sorrows. During the last few vears of her life a softness and gen- tleness of spirit, a patient endurance of suffer- ing and an uncomplaining resignation to the Divine will, had been often observed by those most cognizant of her inner life, In all things she endeavored to recognize the hand of “In- finite Love,” and to remember that “whom He loveth He chastencth.” And when the hour came for her entrance into the rest prepared for God's people, we feel that she entered at once in the “joy of her Lord.” Muy those who saw her virtues Strive to imitate her example!

Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1885, he opera- tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrer, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board, ‘The operation consist- ced in Jaying open the cavity cf the abdomen and exposing the stemach and bowels.

His father, who | had been a soldier, gave chin a fairly good education and obtained for him an appointment in some neighboring mines.

He made no attempt to leave France and was arrested as a traitor; on De- eentber oth he was found guilty of high treason by the House of Peers and sentenced to be shot.” Two days after he was supposed to have been shot in the garden of the Luxembourg Parts. Shortly after there was a revalsion of feeling im re- gard to Ney, a handsome monument was erected and his supposed body was taken up and placed in a new grave. Ilis family assert that when his body was taken up there was bullet holes in his skull and breast. ~The character of Ney was that. of a simple soldier; intensely brave thoagh without the rash impetuosity of a Murat, he was yet as modest as he was brave! as a general his conduct of the two retreats from Portugal and Russia are his chief titles to fame.” —_- —— — She Broke Because she saw that he had ceased to love her.

This is the way Bill Nye puts it in 'the Boston Globe. smoking tobacco in the world is grown ‘in this State. It is a bright and beau- tiful golden color, as thin as tissue pa- per, and smells well while in the act of feeding itself to the devouring ele- /ments. Tobacco has been known to our race ‘for about four centuries, and during that time strides. It is sad to think of the suffering that existed throughout the length and breadth of the land before tobacco was discovered. i Tobacco is grown upon the rich, red hillsides of North Carolina and Vir- ginia, by means of agriculture. The Venetian-red soil af théSeuth has to be fertilized before it wilSproduce much tobacco. The best fertihzer is the handiwork of Signor Guano of Peru, whose works are very popular in the South, The soil is tickled with a hoe, and African humorists who can amuse a plantation in this way readily command asalary of about 87 per month. Fertilizing is quite expensive, and it requires a good crop to get even on the year’s expenditures for labor, fertilizers, etc. One man | heard of the other day sold his crop two weeks ago, and_ still fof Mr. Guano. Such things as these do much to dis- Feourage the use of agriculture as a means of relaxation in the South. Tob ceo is a strong growing, herba- cerous, fizzy imal, rising frequently to a height of six feet unless “topped.” The only ornament worn by the adult tobacco plant is a large thick-set worm, which may be secured by imbedding him between the leaves of Mr. Web- ister’s verbose dictionary and then deftly dosing the volume. On opening the book vears afterward the still features of the wornt may still be detected. Tobacco is not sold at the South by ithe producer at a regular price per pound, but he hauls it into the ware- house, and when there is a break or sale his tobacco is sold at auction, ithough sometimes it is bought at pri-! vate sale. The pinhooker is a peculiar feature of the private sale business. Pinhook- ers work in threes. Pinhooker A goes to the horny-handed producer and says: iT will give you $80 fur your lot; tobac- co is falling a little to-day, and I will not hold that offer good for more than an hour.” The producer refuses to ac- cept the offer. Pretty soon pinhooker B comes up to him and says: “Wl offer you $68 for vour lot if you give me a_ reply soon, What do you say 2" The plinter gets a little scared over the falling market but refuses to sell. Then C comes in and offers $60 if oughly frightened toiler rushes around to tind A and accept his offer. But A ys it is too late—the market is too shakey. for B, who reluetantiy takes the goods Says main of agriculture at the South is now rarely invaded by the white man. Tobacco is used in the preparation of snuff, tine-cut tobacco and plug tobacco. [t is frequently used also to flavor ci- gars and sometimes in the better grade of cigarettes. The exports of tobacco from 1800 to 1872 increased from $6,517,251 in val- ue to 828,547,862. Ten yéars ago the internal revenve from tobacco was nearly S£0,000,000, ment on the part of the United States to jerk a few millions of revenue now and then out of that poor tobacco. -ag- riculturalist and souk the amount into the various revenues whern the great sausage grinder of government needed Iore means. That is the reason why so many nickel cigars are being sacrificed at the rate of two for a quarter. Other information regarding the great tobacco industry is lable to follow close upon the heels of this trea- tise. _-_——a <>? ~ The Beautiful Indian Maiden.

The other day we saw / poor woman, her arms laden with bundles, trying to open the hd of a lstreet letter-box. Dozens of people jostled by her without offering help, but presently a finely dressed young lady came along who with her daintily gloved hand, hitted the lid, then smiled and passed on, as if she were in_ the lowing act, tuld in the Christian Ad- rocate: An aged truckman bent under the weight of a big roll of carpet. Hs balehook fell from his hand and bound- ed into the gutter out of reach. ‘Twenty idle clerks and salesmen saw the old man’s predicament, and smiled at his look of bewilderment. No one ventured to help him. — A fashionably dressed young woman’ came along. took in the situation at a glance, and, without looking to the right or left, stepped into the gutter, picked up th: hook in her dainty, gloved fingers, and handed it to the man with a pleasant smile, The idlers looked at each other, and at the fuir young woman. The old trackman in a violent effort to express his thanks politely, lost his hat. It rolled into the gutter where the hook had been. = This was almost too much for any woman, young or past young, but this New York girl Was equal to the occasion. — Into the gutter she tripped again and got the soiled hat. When she handed it to the truckman, a happy smile was seen to play abot her lips. “ied bless ye, miss,” the man said, as the fair maiden turned her back on the idlers and went on her way. a rn eee The last Legislature passed adaw which persons who have houses built, and the contracto s for buildin = the same, bad bet- tes take notice of. The law requires that the contractor shall furnish the owner an itemized statement of what is due mechan- ics and laborers, and also requires the owner to retain enough of the con- tract money to pay such laborers and | me- chanies.

The impression | prevails that they have been multiply-, ing and extending throughout North | Carolina in the last few years. Last. summer the moisture in the ground favored the development of the pups, . and this probably accounts for our ex- | tra crop of the beetle this year. : This insect, which was first exten-| sively noticed in the far West in 1861, | traveled eastward, at first ata rate of sixty to seventy-five miles a year. But it must have gained strength tramping | because it got to the Ohio by ‘69 and, appeared in this State four or five years | ago. Its ravages appear greater the | first few years; then people learn to | fight them better, and we do not hear | so much about them. In this State we | hear that they are very numerous | about Raleigh and Tarboro. — As they, may have come to stay, we will repeat | ithe oft told tale of the Dash ove _decem-ineata, the Colorado or Western | Potato bug. Each female deposits 1,000 to 1,200 | eggs upon the under node of the young leaves, in clusters, more or less regu- larly arranged. The larve hatch in six days; there are several broods annu- ally and the last brood of them -passes the winter as pupe in the earth. The pupe remain during summer as pupex only from ten to twelve days. Then comes the perfect beetle, which is ready to lays eggs in about fifteen days , from the egg. This period varies with | the weather and the supply of food. The eggs are yellow and a tiched to the leaf by one end; the larva is pale yellow with a reddish tinge,and a lateral row of black dots. It is at this stage that they do their mischief.feeding , upon the plants about seventeen days. The beetle is distinguished by his ten separate stripes, five on each side. : It is said that lime will keep the lavae back, but knocking them off with a paddle is the surest way to destroy them. = Paris green mixed ‘with ten parts of flour, or eight parts of dry wood ashes, dusted over the plants when the dew is on them, will kill | them at once.

The County Commissioners of Wilkes county, N. €., have ordered an election to be held on the 4th day of August, for the purpose of giving to the voters of said county an opportunity to vote for or against a subscription of one hundred thousand dollars to the capital stock of the South Atlantic & North Western Railroad. All bonor to the three public spirited county commis- sioners of Wilkes. They have thus placed the opportunity within the reach of their people of placing them- selves gn one of the great trunk lines of the country.

Now, we are having water works erected and expect to have at Jeast 85 feet of water in the stand pipe; and we generally have plenty of mud and rocks |ying around near the plugs, and it would ruin us to have them choked with mud and rocks, for we have no steam engines to take the place of the pressure of 8 feet of water in the stand pipe as they have in Char- lotte. We shall have to keep the mud and rocks out of the plugs, or our water works won't be of much value at a fire. <-> - —___——— The Goldsboro Messenger came to hand Saturday in double sheet form, after the fashion of the Baltimore American and New York Star.

There were five boys (from 18 to 17) sitting on a log waiting to be sct across the river, when Grant Best, another negro boy, came up with a gun and hailed them with “look out there,” raising his gun and firing at the boys o1 the log. Three fell dead-on the spot and the other two were wounded —oue of them severely. The case waa under investigation of the coroner and his jury, fora day or two, with the result of committing Grant Best to prison for trial at the next court. > eee Between 75 and 100 people, men, women ajid children, mostly the latter, and nearly all negroes, who crowded ona wharf in New Orleans, Sunday last, to witness a baptizing con- ducted by a colored Baptist preacher, were suddenly plunged into the niver by the breaking of a raahng against which they were pressing: It is not known how many were crowned, but the number is believed to be large, in- cluding a number who were damaged or killed by the timber falling on those who were pa: beets, under the wharf. Ben Hart, @ gélored man, was lynch- od 9+, Tarboté, 66 the 8th instant, for uasaulting a géRdol girl as she was re- turning fro sbhool. He sprang upon her from t#é Bushes naked. He was defeated in bis purpose by an alarm given by the girl's small companion who ran away from the scene screain- ing. Ben was soon arrested, and to pore lynching the authonties sent 1m 30 miles away to another county. Mut a crowd went for him in the still- ness of the night and hung him up to a limb. gee It was just a little remarkable that two negro men who got into a leaky boat at Wilmington, near the spot where three negro boys were killed aid {wo wounded, on the day before, were crowned within a few feet of the shore. The boat sunk and the two men went down with it pever to return alive. She boys who were killed and wounded the day before, aud these two men, were all employes on the same farm ac oss te r.ver.

NEw Haven, Conn., May 7.—The Register to-night prints a remarkable story of financial integrity on the part of a Southern capitalist which stands without parallel in the commercial his- tory of the country. The names of the principals are withheld, but the eminent respectibility of counsel in the case, ex-Judge Luzon B. Morris, of this city, is sufficient guarantee of its truth- fulness. The Register says that at the beginning of the civil war a wealthy Soutbern grocer, who had recently taken his young book-keeper into partpership, fearing that his property would be confis- cated, decided to go North. He told the book-keeper to use the property, valued at about $400,000, as he thought best, and that he, the merchant, would rely upon the book-keeper’s honor for : set- tlement et some fature time. The mer- chant thev came North, and settled in New Haven six years ago. Wondering what had become of his estate in the South, the merchant placed the matter in the hands of Judge Morris, with in- structions to investigate and collect, if there was anything to collect. After sone correspondence with the book-keep- er at the South, the latter forwarded an acknowledgement of the claim and an in- ventory showing his indebtedness to his employer to be $648,000, and expressed his desire to return the property, but re- quested time to perfect this arrangement. He began remitting several years aga, and Just week forwarded the last pay- ment, including interest, thus wiping out the debt of honor. Judge Morris de- clined to give the details, further than that his client is a gentleman listed as a millionaire, and that the Southern gen- tleman is now a wealthy banker. eae Assault and Attempted Robbery. Shelby New Era. While an eighteen vear old son of Mr. E. Baxter Long, of Logan’s Store, was returning home by the Morganton road last Friday night, he was stopped by two unknown white men, pulled off his horse, asked for his money and then assaulted with knives. He was cut several times on the head and his coat was cut across the breast. He happened to have no money with him, at which they are sup- posed to have gotten angry. ‘The assal!- ants fled and have not since been heard of.

Victoria, B.C., May 7.—7he telegraph wires between British Columbia and the south were down yesterday. Last night’s telegrams from the Cblontet's Nanaimo correspondent state that 101 white men and 75 Chinese were in the mine at the time of the explosion. Ferty-seven women have been made widows by the disaster and 130 children orphaned. Some Chinamen refused to place the dead in coffins and had to be compelled by force to do so. Many homes are com- pletely broken up and the city is in saek- cloth and ashes. The stores still continue closed and little business is being done. Flags are at half-mast. All hope of sav- ing the men now in the mine has been abandoned. It is absolutely impossible that any can have survived. Most of the men were from Cornwall, Yorkshire and Wales and a few from Noya Scotia. ee es Dr. Herbert B. Battle. The wisdom of the University in estab- lishing post graduate courses leadins to higher degrees has for some time been jus- tified.

Mr. Battle has been for some time past —more than two years—we understand, prosecuting studies in chemis- try and geology. He has passed very sat- isfuctory examinations, and submitted a Thesis which has also been approved, This Thesis comprises original work on some important question of agricultural chemistry, more especially the power of certain soils to Cause a “reversion” of sol. phos. acid. In duc time, we trust, it) will be published. The University is now able to offer these advanced courses, we are in- formed, more efficiently than ever before.

NEW YorxkK, May 7.—The police au- thorities had an unpleasant surprise when | they learned that one of their own officers | was carrying on a regular policy and Jot- | tery agency at his post of duty and in his uniform. The policeman’s name is Mor- ris Colbert. He is assigned to a post at the Mercantile building in lower Broad- way and thought he could increase his income somewhat by selling Lousiana lottery tickets and policy gigs. One of the detectives ingratiated himself into the confidence of Colbert. He bought a olicy gig by which he won $21.75. Vhen Colbert had paid him he arrested him and took him toSupt. Murray. The superintendent called fora pair of scissors and proceeded to cut the brass buttons off the policeman’s coat. The stripes were ripped from his trousers and his badge was taken from him. He was then placed in a cell. The money won by the detective will be turned over to the pen- sion fund. eee Tennessee. ry Chattanooga, May 7.—The Roan Tron Company commenced operations in this city to-day with its steel mill.

We are sorry to state that Mr. J.S. Wallace, who accidentally shot. himself last Thursday, (as recorded in last week’s WATCHMAN) is dead. From the first the physicians expressed very little hopes of his recovery. On Sunday last he was moved from his room, over Mr. Schultz’s store, to Mrs. McCorkle’s, and on Mon- day about 6 o’clock, p. m., he died. His body was taken to Christainsburg, Va., on Tuesday for interment. We sympathize deeply with his bereaved mother and other friends.

Mr. Mdilor -—-Tf you will permit me | will give you a few words from Manning, as the ground is pretty well soaked aud the crops look flourishing, and I have a little leisure. Everything is looking tine. The wheat and oat crops are louking well. Farmers are about through plant- ing cotton, and corn is coming up and will soon be ready to work. The lumber wagons have ceased run- ning in part, for the last week. The cause I do not know, unless it be the de- mands of farm work; for many farmers are fully determined to change their method of getting supplies, and not de- pend on Richmond and other markets for their bread and meat next year. There are several cases of pneumonia in the neighborhoed. Some one shot Dr. Joe. MeConnaugh's fine bird dog last week—shot him on "hie Dr’s premises.

These concentrates run up,to pretty high figures, and are in sufficient quantity to keep a regular supply on the dumps at the works. The softer brown ores near the surface are paying very well, even with the in- adequate machinery used. The expense of manipulation is only a few dollars a day. This property mupt pass, sooner or later, into hands that arp ableto mine it on a seale commensurate with its re- sources. BREWER MINE. The Brewer gold mine is in Chester- field county, 8. C., and on the waters of Lynch river. The property contains 745 ;acres of land, part of which has been | washed for surface gold, with some suc- !eess. The ore deposit seems to be a mass of low grade auriferous quartz, decom- posed and disintegrated, and is mined in open quarry. This deposit is 800 yards wide and itis estimated that of this low | grade material, there are probably four | millions oftons in sight. This is sup- posed to average four or five dollars to | the ton in gold value. |; About one year ago the placer work iwas discontinued and they began to |quarry the ores for milling. A small }stamp mill was built, and the stecessful | treatment of the ores has induced Mr. E. | Motz, the owner and superintendent. to go into this kind of work on a large scale. He will erect this season an 80-stamp ;mill and increase the capacity of the |machinery to correspond. At present he 'is working only 20 hands, NATIVE COPPER. Mr. Thos. R.

For about six years the Mining De- partment of the WATCHMAN has been giving to the public as reliable informa- tion as it could command regarding all branches of the mining industry, together with sketches of the geology of the State as it relates to the metalliferous. deposits which are now being mined. This work, which has been a gratuity to the owners ;of such mineral Jands, and done from pure disinterested motives, has added thousands of dollars to the wealth of the State. We do not mean ‘to beast, and would not allude to the matter at all had it not been a work. fer which- no com- pensation was had. It is the intention of this paper to keep ‘tp this work, not because it pays, but because it has and is doing good for the State. Our reward will come with the general prosperity of the country. This week the Mining - Department | have letters froin New York and London, Eng. A quotation from each will show how the matter standsabroad. The New York correspond says: “It is given to me to understand that you know all about the mines of North Carolina. J Would beg to ask a word or two regarc- ing the prospects and value of the ——- mine in Guilford county,” &c. E. B. Newburn, of London, Eng., writes: ‘‘My attention has been called toa notice of the inine of Union | county, in the CAROLINA WATCHMAN of a& recent Seme of my friends are disposed tu iake up this property and iform an English company to work it,’ Ke. date. _._.... Agent for the State. A Reidsville correspondent of the New York Herald, writing in regard to the scarcity of provisions, and the consequent suffering in some sections of Rockingham county says that a waggish countryman put it rs the other day. He had sold a load of very comman tobacco and was taking home his supplies: : “Hello, Tom!” said a bystander, “what did you get for your tobacco?” “Thirty dotlars for the load.. But that's allright. I'm only agent anyway.” “An agent! Why Ethought you owned a plantation.” “Oh, they say so; but, the fact is, I'm only an agent, Bill. Now look here, see them mules? They come from Tennessce; the harness on ‘em was made in Hagerstown, Md; thia wagon came from Kentucky ; this barrel of flour from Richmand; this ship- stuff from West Virginia; this bacon from Chicago.

There is no habit that is in- dulged in in this country for w hich there is less excuse than that of carrying concealed weapons. It is despicable and dangerous for any man to be carrying a loaded pistol in his pocket, ready to be jerked out on the slightest provocation, without excuse, and used to take the life ofa fellow-man, This | habit cannet be condemned too strongly | when it is indulged in by sober men, and ; how much more is the danger of this habit increased wien whiskey is added to it.— Henderson Gold Leaf. ey A recent project is to erect a monument tu St. Paul in his native city of Tarsus, in Asia Minor.

It is related that Bishop Kavenangh, while out walking one day, met a promi- nent physician who offered him a seat in his carriage. The physician was an infidel, and the conversation turned upon religion. “I am surprised,” said the doctor. “that such an intelligent man as you should believe such an old fable as that.” The Bishop said, “Doctor, suppose years ago some one had reeommended to you a prescription for pulmonary con- sumption, and you had procured the prescription and taken it according to order, and had been cured of that terrib'e disease; what would you say of the man who would not try your pre- scription.” “{ should say he wasa fool.” “Twenty-five years ago,” sid Kava- nangh, “I tried the power of God's grace. It made a different man of me. All these years I have preached sulva- tion, and wherever accepted | have never known it to fail.” What could a doctor say to such testi- mony as that? And such testimonies are what men need to turn them fron: the error of their ways to the personal oxperience of the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ. “How would you prove the divinity if Christ?’ said some minister to young backwoods preacher whom they were examining. “What?” said he, puzzled by then juestion. “How would of Christ?” “Why, he saved my soul,” was the triumphant reply. -_<—>- -— A Soldier's First Battle.

[ frequently found on consulting m\ watch, that occurrences appareutly of an hour's duration, were really less than a half or a quarter of that time. As the sun rose, it passed into a cloud. When it emerged, I fully ex- pected it would be some distance —to- ward the zenith, and was surprised t« find it had advanced only afew de- grees. There was a slight shower that last- ed less than ten minutes; I judged 1 had been twenty. The evolutions of the troops on the field appeared slaw and awkward They were really effected with great promptness. Gen. Lyon was killed before nine o'clock, as I very well knew. {t was some days before I could nid myself of the impression that his death occurrec not far from noon. The apparent extension of the hours was the experience of several person: on that field. I think it has been known by many, on the occasion of their first battle. At Pea Ridge, an officer told me there seemed to be about thirty hours between sunrise and sun- set. Another thought it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the sun was at the meridian. It was only at Wilson Creek that I experienced this sensation.

Andrews can not deceive our people longer, as they haye lost all, confidence in his road, or any thing he; may say, and he might as well tell us at once that be will never build the road, and stop promisinz 30 much.—-Davie Times, May 13th. Right Bro. Mooring. Col. Bushee at Wukesboro, on the sth of March, admitted that the R.& PD. Co. did not’ want to build a railroad to that place; that it was not to their interest to do so, but that they might be compelled to build a railroad to Kfkin to save the territory, and would build to Wilkes- boro if Wilkes county would vote them one bundred thousand dollars. Col.’ Andrews said on the same day that the railroad from ‘Taylorsville to Wilkes- boro would be built and that the work of track laying would begin on the road from Statesville to ‘Laylors- ville on the first day of Apmil. The first of Apml came no work done. But the k. & D. Co.. although they have the best Juwyers of the country in theiremploy, to draw. look into, and manage all their contracts. find that there is trouble about the right of way in Iredell county. Remember, this rowl from States- ville to Taylorsville has been graded and ready for bridging and iron for near or quite three years, and just now, eomes the quibble about right of way; next a telegram from (ol. A. to Mr. Linney last of April that work would: commence about the first of May -- here on May 10th, nothing done. We learn that Messrs. Linney and Glenn, on Tuesday the 3d ot May. made great efforts to convince the peo- ple of Wilkes that their only hope for a railroad wis to vote one hundred. thousand dollars to the Northwestern N.C... KR. Messrs. Linney and Glenn are both good lawyers, the R. & D. Co. is a good client, the lawyers are doing their best. “| Now, between Statesville and Tay- lorsville, and between Mooresville and Winston stand grand and imposing monuments of the unkept promises and broken contracts of the Kt. & R. R. Co. and their predecessors; or, as the Alexander county Journal, | speaking of the piles of cross ties along ihe toed says: “The cross ties stand | to-day as monuments of the misplaced | confidence in the RK. & D. Co.” | Not a word did you hear of building | either road until the Ss. A. & N. W. Kk. R. started up about a year ago. Now, the very air is full of promises to build | both roads, and, they may shovel some | dirt, and lay some rails, but as soon! as the “cat hops in Wilkes” on the! { } 16th of June, you will not hear any-| thing more from either road. The R. | & D. will rest from their labors andj you will to:l on with your wagons in | the mud. If our fmends in Davie and Wilkes! want railroads let them give all the) aid in their power to the South Atlantic | and North Western Railroad. This is: a grand triunk line. They have no! object in deceiving the people. They have kept tneir promises ip to this | time—and we believe they itend to; do what they have promised. See! what the Stanly Observer, of the 12th, inst., says : From the pen of Dr. 0. D.

Davidson had 17 prisoners and 18 in her poor honse. Lincola, 16 in jail and 17 in poor house. | New Hanover, 31 in jail and 35 in poor house, including 9 in house of cor- i rection. Rowan. 5 in jail and 32 in poor house. Wake, 161in jail and 70 in poor house, including 7 in house of correction. These counties show the largest numbers. Many of the counties did not report on jails and poor houses. ee eee The Ben. Hart Case. A Tarboro correspondent of the Notes-Obserrer presents a rather Indi- Town ani Country. Under this head the Charlotte Chron- icle quotes some wise remarks of the Attanta Constitution on the growth of cities and the proportional diminishing of the country population. | Many of the cities in this country and in Eres have doubled their population since the beginning of this century, and some of them have increased three, four and five fold. The Constitution ends its remarks thus: “One thing is certain. This movement of population to the towns cannot be turned backward. It must go on to the end. In some future age wars, pestilence, famine or great natural convulsions will cause a redistribution of population. People will scatter iuto the country, and only the wreck of dead cities will be left to excite the curiosity of Macaulay’s New Zealander, or some other speculative wanderer. Thus history repeats itself.” We had occasion to remark several weeks ago that tie rapid growth of our towns in North Corolina is no evidence of solid State prosperity, especially if new comers to the towns have aban- doned farms in the country to be reuted to persons who have no permanent in- erest in the soil. Se eee f£nti-Poverty fociety. Henry George, a inan of considera- ble force, heads the Society in New York of the above title. There were 3,000 people at a meeting of this So- ciety at the Academy of Music last Sunday night. We quote from the New York Star of Monday, the fol- lowing extract : Mr. George then defined the position of the anti-poverty socicty, and said: coronerof Edgecombe connty. He ap- peared on the scene with two copies of the statutes of North Carolina and a} Bible under his arm; and proceeded to! display his ignorance of his official du-} ties with great pomposity. The inves- tigation, if such it could be termed, ran through several days, with the final return “that Ben. Hart came to his death by strangulation by means of hanging with a rope at tue hands of persons upknown, but signed them- selves ‘People’s Committee.” Ben. Hart is the man who stripped himself naked and lay concealed in the bushes near the road on which two scheol girls were to pass on their return home, as reported in our last week’s pa- per. Inthe words of Coroner Lewis, as he looked at Ben’s body hanging from a pine limb, it may be Said, “Dis is er| 'serius objec.’ This paper has consistently denoune- ed lynching. So do the laws of the State, but under our present lax system in respect to dealing with such crimi- nals as Ben. Hart, it don’t amount to! much. — —<_— —S—- eel Mr. Thos. P.

His pointment of judges of election. ‘complaint has special reference to tlie ap- pointment of judges of the municipal | election held here on the first Monday | in May. Mr. Johnston proposed the name of one man to represent the pro- | hibitionists, Mr. Michael Bringle, but ithe Commissioners did not accept the nominee. Indeed, they could- not re- Dp, coguize the “Prohibition political par- ty” as a party contemplated by the law, and blreret Ore could not recognize the nominee. Mr. Johnston published his complaint before the election came ‘on, and should have had all the benefit that could be expected to result from the alleged unfairness of the Commis- sioners 1n their appointment of regis- trars and judges. If the complaint had been just, it ought, in the usual course of events, to have increased the prohi- bition party vote; but it did not. after the election and the votes were counted out, it was found that the “prohibition political party,’ as Mr. Johnston styled it when proposing Michael Bringle as its representative on the boards of registrars and judges of election, only counted out two rotes for Mr. Johnston for Mayor, and rumor | says one of these was cast by Mr./ Johnston himself. Under these circumstances it is ap- parent that Mr. Johnston’s attack on | the County Commissioners is without a leg to stand on, and becomes ridicul- ous. And his gratnitous abuse of the Demceratic party is not les so.

The labels jand dates on bottles of wine or brandy exported are of no value. 1870, 1884 or any other date thereon, simply means that the preparation is made to resemble the pure products of those years —that, and nothing more—notwith- standmg the stringent French laws }( never enforced) to prevent frauds, For | band informs us that the R.& D.R.R.

Ewbank, as reported in a lecture by Indian Engineer, speaking of earth- quakes, says: “Recent delicate, scien- entitic experiments have discovered the fact that the surface of the earth is never absolutely at rest for more than thirty hours at a time. Thus those great earthquakes which make epochs in the history are merely extreme cases of forees which never sleep.” Of these extreine cases of forces are mentioned that at Lisbon in 1755. The shocks iwere over in five minutes—the _ first lasting six seconds, in which time most of the houses had been thrown down and thousands of people buried beneath | ithe ruins. And that of Jamaica, when }two thousand five hundred houses were buried in’ three minutes under thirty 'feet of water. _—-—- r+ e ——__—_ The enforcement by the Mayor of an ancient Sunday law in New York city has caused considerable newspaper talk and bar room fuming. One poor sa- loon keeper was so wrought up by it that he committed suicide, which was rather better in fact, than to go on making druukards. The law in ques- tion had not for a long time been’ en- forced; but as it had not been repealed. | the New Mayor, under his oath of | office, saw no way of escape from enfor- cing it except by perjuring himself, which hevery properly did not choose to do. a One of the members of the Twin City have engaged the band’s services to make a ten days tour through Wilkes county, commencing June 5th, as stated in yester- day's issue.— Twin City Daily, May 18.

DIVISION IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA EPis+ COPAL CHURCH CONVENTION. ’ ——— : A Charleston special of Friday says: The Episcopal Convention of South Caro- lina, in on in this city continued all day the discussion of the motion made yesterday by Col. John C. Haskell, Sena- tor Hampton’s son-in-law, to strike from the Bishops list of clerical . delegates to the convention the name of J. H. M. Pol- lard, the colored rector of St. Marks Epis- copal church. Bishop Howe is in favor of admitting colored élerical delegates to the convention and he has provoked a fight every year for three years by putting the name of the only coloreé priest in the diocese on the clerical list. Bishop Howe has carried his point for three years. Col. Haskell made a long speech in favor of striking off Pollard’s name, and the debate raged fiercely all day to-day. Bishop Howe ruled that the convention was organized. This ruling was appeal- ed from, and when the yote was taken the Bishop’s decision was not sustained by the convention. The Bishop, how- ever, took no notice of the vote, and or- Jered the secretary to proceed with the reading of the rules of order. Meminger, secretary of the treasury under the Confederacy, rose amid great excitement and announced that Grace church would withdraw from the conven- tion, and he was followed all over the house by laymen until the lay delegates from fourteen parishes had withdrawn. Only two of the clergy, Rev. R. 8. Trapier, of “St. Michael’s church, and Rev. Mr. Hanckel, of Trinty church, Abbeville, withdrew. There was a quorum lett, however, and the convention will contin- ue its work. Charleston, 8. C., May 14.—The South Carolina Episcopal Diocesan Convention met this mourning. A quorum was pres- ent. The seceding delegates organized an independent body for conference pur- oses. The representation at the meet- ing of the seceders embraced lay delegates from twenty parishes, and five ministers.

Meroney Bro., for the pub- | lic Hall known generally by the above | hamic, thine It is a great improvement on any- had For many the Court House was the only ac- Wwe cver before. Years coluivodaticn in that Hine—the old Court Hou-c that stood on the public square. But as the town grew that became too sinall, and it was inconveniently arranged for the purpose of exhibitions, though it| was admirably located and exactly well suited for town or county meetings for political and other similar purposes. After the removal of that, “Murphy’s | Hall” came in, with no other recommen- | dation but size—it was large—but the long, Winding, out-side stairs to the third story, were difficult of ascentand danger- ous of descent, to persons under excite- ment; and the overhead ceiling was too low for the comfprt of the audience. Next, what was known as McNeely's Hall. was subject to similar objections— too near the roof—too hot in summerand too cold in winter. The Messrs Meroney endeavored to avoid these objections and provide a Hall that would meet public requirements; and it must be admitted that they were quite successful. lor althouch it is not exactly as good as could be desired, it is far superior to any Hall the town has ever had.* And yet a por- tion of the public, at least, is not satisfied with Meroney’s Opera Hall. They long for something better—they have scen bet- ter in some of cur large cities—a place more beautiful—more convenient—more comfortable—more accessible, and easier| to escape from in case ofa panic.

T. K. BRUNER EDITOR, RALEIGH, N.C. Howie Mine. The Howie mine, in Union county, has recently been unwatered fer the purpose of closely examining the supply of ore, and in case of success, to begin perma- nent work. From a reliable source we learn that the mine is producing very fine gold ore, which is being hoisted from the “Bull face” shaft, now 175 feet deep. HEMBY MINE. The Hemby mine, in Union county, has resumed operations, after a two month’s rest. There are a number of veins on the tract, (68 acres) which is so shaped as to allow considerable length of yein on se limited an area. The mine is now worked by a northern company, with Mr. G. T. Raymond, as manager. It has been operated almost Continuously for 12 or 14 months, They have a rather troublesome ore to work, but it turns out considerable gold. The company has spent about $15,000 in the development of the property. They have a good ten-stamp mill, engine, pump, hoister, &e. The work is in all proba- bility on too small a scale to do justice to the property. 1N MECKLENBURG COUNTY. There is not as much activity as usual around Charlotte, in mines, but consider- mill at the Todd mine is the only one | going, and they have made several suc- | cessful runs. The Rudisill is being | operated by small parties of tributers, | pending negotiations fora sale, and the returns are reported larger than might | | be supposed for such simall operations, | |The st. Catherine is being developed; the ore bedics exposed are larger than ever before, but the ore is not of a charac- ter to amaleamate well. The Henderson and the Point mines | | | | jure only doings, prospecting work, and both have good bodies of ore, The same may be said of the Dunn and the Ray | imines, at both of which there is a large | amount of material accessible.

The nerchants are | shipping larger amounts of gold, bought from the miners, than has been shipped during the last four or five years. Some gold is being taken from the Burns, and from various sources in the gold district. Mining in Moore seems, from the fore- going, to be ina more healthy condition than for several years past, IN THE PALMETTO STATE, The Dixie mine is in Laneaster county, S.C., but near the Union county, N.

The alarming disease of thig country is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under many names but it 6 essen- tially the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu- tions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United States is de- creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, protess- ional and publie men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sui- cides, commitied without ap- parent reason, or under so-called “depression of spirits,” are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruit#al source of insanity and cxime Stately prows are nsing vad boring (Shouts of mariners winuew the utr), And level sands for banks endowing The tiny green ribbon that showed so fair. | \ | i\Viile, Q@ my heart! as white sails shiver, And crowds are passing, str tch wide, How hard to follow, with lips that quiver, That movi and banks ng speck on the far-off side!

Healthy ligestion being impeced or des- troyed, the whole body, nerves ‘neluded, is Uterully starved ; even When there is 2o cmacl- ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings :—headache in the morning; a ‘persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the krain; wakefulness; loss of appetite and disgust with food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx- iety without any assignable reason; eruciations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; valpitation of the heart; sal- 'owness of the skin; coated rongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban- donment of the habits and cus- toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shaker £tract of Roots (Seigel’s Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. Tis ereat remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb- anon, N. Y., is especially adapt- ed to eradicate Renate Dys- pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power- fully upon the disordered stom- och, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, pro- moting the secretion of Inle, ex- pelling waste matters from the system,and purifying the blood. Upon the nervous system Shaker Extract(Scigel’sSyrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the shghtest nareotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat- ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition. It is safe to say more nefrv- ous dyspeptics have been re- stored by it from the depths of misery to a fresh enjoyment of life and labor than by any or a] other forms of treatment combined.

In other words, one-fifth of North Carclina’s en- tire white population was in the Con- federate army !- The total numuer of soldiers in the Confederate army about 600,000, so then, North Carolina furnished ONE-FiFTH of all the troops een of infantry, 7 of J of avalry at nd + of artillery.

Ino every batile fought and victory won by the glori- Army of Northern Virgiute, Carolina were the days ous old North soldiers heaviest sufferers. In the seven battle aroand Richmond, in the mer of IS62. there were G2 Confederate regiments, and 46 of them were from North Carolina, and more taau half of ot a rave North Carolinians.

Congressmen are ; pecul lar in thes :uoney transactions. | Few are accurate in business. In ad- dition to thoughtless expenditures that drag many into debt, one of the most amusing features of their procedure is Hthe failures to keep track of the cents jn the ch eck they draw. For instance, one of he leaders left the last Congress jast aay -three cents over-drawn. 4 ey is re-elected. and nobody will suffer *f:3in'this Sidrmotts ovetaraft: “ht hap- pened in a. very simple and, among Con- grossmen, In a very commen. manner. |The statesman had previously drawn 4 I draft for $25.23, and, in compating Ins | balanee drew oa his memory for a £25 draft outy. The Sergeant-at-Arms is new the general banker for nearly all the mem- bors. A few vears ago many kept sep- ‘rate accounts in the down-town bank- ae institutions, but now nearly all the I tinanciul transactions of members are conducted at the Capitol, and opera- tions of exchange and deposit extend- ig beyond mere salary accounts, are permitted. There are a cashier, teller, bookkeeper, and a huge sufe behind the Wire screea protected counter, Outside is a desk and a collection of checks. A messenger brings almost daily from the Treasury, in asatehel, the amount of iuney cousidered necessury for the probable demands. The hills thus idrawn ure always fresh and erisp, and the teller, a young man from Tennessee, has established a reputation for his ability to snap each bill as it leaves his hand so that the crack of a whip does not exceed the ncise. ‘This process not only prevents bills from sticking to- gether, bat it adds an exhiliaration to the Congressional performuunce of draw- img money. The majority of Congressmen draw their sales entire durmg each month, small sums af freyrent intervals, with lump amounts when rent and board bilis become due. Some who have means distinct from their othcial apoE illow their salaries to aceumu- nie for ve val months, bat not longer. The largest draft ever drawn within re- ceil rotallection was by ex-Congress- man Frederichs of Towa for ¢ 311,000. He was seated at the toceur aw Con- gress and drew his two years’ salary, and aso his nuleayve and stuthomary ac- counts. The smaller checks used to emanate from James Belford of Colo- rato, poetically know then as “Rec- headed Rooster of the Rockies.” He would-draw cheeks for 2 several times each day. General George A. Sheridan, of New York, the lecturer, drew a cheek for $10,000 when he served the last thirteen hours of a Congress as a Representative from Louisiana, bat he paid ex-Senator Jones of Florida and Detroit: S7.5U0 as conurel fees in the contest, A. few snembers draw their month's s:buy in onecheck,and during the last session the kuowledge of ths habit aided in preventing two attempts tu forge the names of Congressmen Long, of Massachusetts and Houk, of ‘Terne:see. Tn the former case the de- tection was easy. In the latter the swindier played a combination game and sneeceded in securing the cash, but not uf the Crpitol. The stauionary allowance of Con- gresmen of $125 annually is considered by mauy a proper niatter to commute into cash. Whea new members come in, their attention to constituents usu- ally involve the expenditure of their fall allowance for stationary. but when nore expericreed the commutations are made ito Jeweiry, Opera glasses, and all imaginable articles, which are pur- chased by the Clerk under instructions, but in the last sessien, in case of Con- gressman defeated for re-election. the drafts upon his scationary account are very limited, and upon his final M: ch t he draws in cash nearly the whole amount, Mileaze is aliowed menibers at the rate of twenty cents per mile each way.

All the young men from far and near tame to visit her because ofther beauty, : Two rivals sought her one day, and Said: . ~ “It is on your acconnt, that we have! ? come hither.’ “What do you want of me: o” “she res plied siniling. “We love you,” zeturned. the two young meu. ‘and each cf us wish to marry you.’ The maiden beint- well. erat up, ore her father, who liste ned to. the two lovers, and then said: > “It is late; go home now. but fuie again to-inorrow. and yoa shall then know which of you may haye wy danghter.” At daybreak the next morning the two. young men returned. “Here we are, they cnied to the tailor; “remember whit you promised yesterday.” “Wait a little,” he replied: “I am going to town to buy apiece of cloth; when I return home with it you shi ul learn what I shall expect from you. When the tailor returned from town he called his daughter, and on her ap- pearance, he said to the young men : “My children, there are two of you and I have but one daughter. To whom shall I give her? Who shall IT refuse? Behold this piece of cloth; [T will cut from it two suits of clothes exactly alike: each one of you must sew one of them he-who finishes his task first shall have iny daughter.” Hach of the rivals took his tusk and prepared to set about it. The father called a daughter and said to her: “Here is the thread, make it ready for the two workers.” The maiden obeyed her father, and taking the bundle of threaa, scated her- self near the young men. But she was as clever as she was beautiful; thongh her father did not know which of the two she loved, nor the young men themselves; she knew well ‘enough. The tailor went away, the maiden prepared the thread, the young men took their neodles and began tosew. To the one she loved, the beauty gave short needlefuls, but to the one she did not love she gave lenz needlefuls. ‘They sewed and sew- ed in eager haste; at eleven o'clock the work was not half done, ‘but at three the young man who had short needlefuls had completed his task, while the other had yet much to do. When the t:ilor returned, the eon- queror brought to io the completed suit, while his rival still sat sewing. “My children,” said the father, °1 did not wish to fayor one move than the other, that was why I divided the cloth in two equal parts and told you, ‘He who finished his task first shall have Diy daughter.” Did vou understand me? “Father.” repli ed the tw o young men, we understand you, and have aceepied the test. What must be, must. The tailor had reasoned thus: “He who finishes first will be the most skill- fui workman, and consequently better able to support a wite,” but he had never imagined that his daughter would give “long need'efi.ls to a tuaan she di a not wish to mury.

Aud perhaps the next 1 Wit portance is that while the pro luction of the disease probably requires that the morbifie agent shall be brought into contact with the alimentary mucous membrane, as in food or drink it is pos- sible for the salivary fluids in the month and throat to absorb the poison from the atmosphere and thus become the medinm of its transmission to the stomach. There is also a third lesson of no less value to us, viz: That various articles of food, and especially milk. Water and other fluid foods, poxsess the same property of absorbing the fever poison from the atine sphere and thus becoming the vehicles of its introdac- tion into the system. Food stored in pantries and kitchens. absorbing the poison from neighboring drains and vaults is the explanation of nearly all the so-called * “sporadic” cases of true typhoid fever. Ina large pro- ry wrtion of eases if w iH be discovered on exumination that edorous emanations from kitchen drains, but move frequent- lv from privy vaults, are easily percep- tible to the senses in He rooms where food is stored and where it is being prepared for the table. In most of the observations [ have made on this suh- ject, it ps appeared to be the vantt rather than the drain that has been responsible for tae evil.—Anils of [Ty giene, rr Sa OE An American name of Madame francs for a lot of s linnts belonging to the jewels, and w hen they Jown to her she failed to make eo al her purchase.

THE FAILURE CF SWAWNN,- KING, THE BROUGHT ABOUT BY CONFIDENCE GAME. A special dispatch fron: Omaha, Neb. says: “A somewhat sensational account of the recent failure of A. W. Swann, the Wyoming eattie king, was given bya prominent cattle man in this city last night. It is to the effect that Mr. Swann was m: we the victim of a gi- gantic confidence game, whereby ‘he lost €800,0G0 at one sweep. Not long since Mr. Swann and a number of the leading Western cattle men formed a partnersh; p for the purpo-e of buying eattle for foreign shipment. “Mr Swann had made aur: ingements with a rich Scotch syndicate, which was to buy ihe cattle at a handsome advance above their valug-in the American market. After about $1,000,200 worth of eattle had been bonght the deal’ for. some reason fell threagh. Mr. Swann went to New York © ity, in the hope of mak- ing some other arrangement for the disposal of the cattle. While there he received a cablegram purporting to be signed by the agent of the Scotch sy ndic: ite, offe ring him a large advance beyond the price “at which the cattle had originally been contracted for. Mr. Swann at once cabled his acceptance of the offer, partners, offering them the price which | was originally to be paid by the syndi- eate. They accepted the proposition, and all the cattle came into his posses- sion. Then he notified the syndicate that he was ready to deliver the cattle at the price offered by their agent, and received a reply saying that they had no such offer, and knew nothing of the xistence of the agent named. Diligent seareh failed to reveal his whereabouts, and Mr. Swann was obliged to dispose of the cattle at a heavy Joss. -—-2- Another Capital Conviction.

There are yet a few establishments of the ind alluded to, and it is believed the tendency now is to encourage them-— to imcrease them in variety and extent. It is gratifying to see that Mr. Frick still) holds out against the patent rs and binders, in the manufac- tare of the best made “cradle”. in the Btate. It isa line of business which . ggras down from father to sons, and}4 the suns have not only kept it but im- proved on the quality of te goods. - Mr. M. 8. Brown's fashionable tail- oring establishment is another enter- prise of the kind contemplated. It 1s the revival of a branch of business that once flourished here and brought in trude from far and near. The late jtown, which he did. ae A man named Hoover, who has been groes to bund together to demand.:higher wages aud telling them to apply tlic torch if an iuereuse of wages were re-: fused, after a harangue at Warrenton, | Ga., Friday night, waa dangerously shut by a band, it is alleged, of armed men. It is believed that Hoover has been swindling the negroes and was the vic- tim of their wrath. There is no clue to the perpetrators. Hoover may live but it is doubtful. He claims to be a Knight of Labor.—News- Observer. Our citizens will remember Mr. Hoover as being here about two yéars ago and speaking in Meroney’s Hatl on the labor question. Wedo not know whether he claimed then to bea Knight or not, but we do know that he went to Hickory and there cluimed that he had nothing whatever to do with them, and tried to organize au association— we have forgotten the style of it—but it covered the whole of America with head office at Hickory. After having uite a warn time with the authoritis of that place, he was ordered to leave The next thing heard of him he was ordered: out of a town in Georgia for his incendiary speeches, and now we hear of him as being mabbed and shot in Wurrenton, und we expect (we came neur saying fiope) that the next heard of him will Horace H. Beard and B. F. Fraley [be his death. rosecuted it with entire success, and in the course of years received a hand- some reward for their skill and toil. - In passing along Inniss street, Mon day, we saw several very handsome home mide coffins in R. M. Dayis’ shop. They were new and of an-im-, proved style and the wood-finish equal to that of any northern or western fac- tory; and we learned from the pro- ietor that he was preparing te manu- ture them and other articles, more extensively than ever before. This is another step in the night direction, and deserves to be encouraged. The late David Watson, before the introduction of northern work, supplied the com- munity for many miles around with vod solid walnut furniture of all inds. There should be a good ehair fac- tory here, but there is none, either good or bad. There are remnants of ehair work scattered about town, such as arm chairs, settees, &c., which were manufactured here, and whenever you find a piece of it, you will find a piece of furniture that is good for another 50 or 60 years. David Julian was ex- hibiting a piece—a settee —a few days ago, on which he was putting a new coat of paint. He expects to leave it to some great grand child if it shall escape the fire. It can hardly be duplicated, though that is the kind of goods a chair factory should turn out. Nobody wants to buy chairs that would shake into pieces in hauling them home. Mr. J. Lanier’s brick machine is another enterprise deserving of patron- age, and we learn receives it. But then there are many other in- dustries about town—Meroney’s ma- chine and foundry works, Thompson’s, in the same general line, Frerck’s, Small’s, &., &c., not to enumerate the large tobacco factories, which depend mainly on distant communities for their support. though they disburse large sums of money among us. first class boot and shoe shop is needed. There are several small shops here alre*| it is true; but they have not estab is1.ed for themselves a name on the superiority of their work—in style, finish, quality of material and workmanship. Lvcal shoe merchants ean beat them on all points and conse- quently take nearly all the trade. There should be a bucket factory here. There is a good opening for this branch of business, and repair |: work enough to keep one hand busy all the year round. A basket factory, a book bindery, &e. It may surprise some of our citi- gens to learn that a book-binder once lived and flourished here when the town was not near so large as it is now. Factories of the kind to meet the daily recuring wants of the people, and that would tend to break the incessant flow of money to other markets— easily within the production of home industry aid enterprise, is just what is needed here. It ix needed through- out the South; aud it is a very grati- fying fact that more progress has been made in this direction in the Southern States in the last five or six years than in a decade before. . >> Collector Dowd’s District. The sixth collective district of North Carolina has been wiped out of exis- tence by an order of President Cleve« Juad. The State is to be divided in two districts with headquarters in thei bo government building at Greensboro, with Mr. Wm.S. Yarboro and Mr. A. J. Boyd at the head of each. =a -_—_- R. L. Selle, a correspondent of the Stanly Obserrer, writing from Hot Springs, Ark., gives quite a glowing description of the place. He says—‘4t has street cars, electric lights, about 20 churches, and more hotels than he had been able to learn, It is a prohibition town and prohibition prohibits very effectually. The officials are rigid in the enforcement of the laws. Liqnor saloons and gambling dens are not permitted within three miles of the city. A gambling den was recently discovered there was seized and all its furniture drgged out and burned in the street.

Editor Watchman:—As some of your readers are engaged in Carp culture, with your permission, I will, for their beunetit, give them the following information. 1 had often read about it, but never until recently made the experiment. One day last week I killed a very large rabbit and concluded to utilize it as-ecarp food, I made arough box about 8x15 inches, with the bottom and one side made of narrow slats, leaving spaces of about one ‘inch between them. I then put on a‘top with leather hinges. -I then dreve a ‘stake. out in my earp pond, aud nailed the box to.it, about two feet above the water, and having ripped open the rabbit I placed it in the box and closed the lid. One side of the-box was inde of slats also, so as to admit green fijes into the > ¢ ae In about three days afterwards, I notic- eda group of at least 100 Carp working and scrambling around under the box. They remained there all day long, for several days. On a close examination, I found that the rabbit was a working mass of large, fat maggots, which were constantly rolling and Sronpiitg through | the slats into the water, each one forming a delectable morsel for the lucky carp that got it. From this experiment I am led to con- chide that whenever a bog ehicken or other animal dies, it can readily be con- verted into excellent carp food, so that the owner wil] get back, the value of his dead animal. ‘Try it carp raisers, and you will not be disappointed. By the way, it has often seemed strange to me, that more farmers do not engage in the cultivation of this great fish, (the German Carp.) Any one owning axgpring branci, can, at a nominal expense, tave a ear» pond. There is a district, ten miles: square in the State of Ohio, in which there are over two hundred carp ponds in successful operation, and the number increasing every ‘year.'!?

The troops are now all here who intended to participate jn the National Drill, and they represent Alabama, Arkansas, Con- nois, Jowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michi? gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, “New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington Territory and the District ot Columbia. The Drill opened this morning, but the duy ‘was consumed by some formalities suchas naming the camp, issuing orders, receixing the latest arrivals of troops, etc., and this evening there was a dress parade -by all of the organizations en- camped, but the competitive drill begins to-morrow. The soldiers here represent the flower of the National Guard of their States, and many of the commands are noted for their excellent discipline, and have won trophies in State and inter- state drills. ‘Such. camp. has not been seen in this country.gince the veterans of the civil war bruke their camp in ’65. Now the soldiers of the North, South, East and West ‘assémble in ene camp aud contend in friendly strife for the trophies of the peacenillinill ground. The week will be exceedingly lively in Washington. It will bectitled: with events, brilliant street pageants, attractive. drills, reviews and street- parades. . Washington can boast in superlative langusgé of ‘many things. It has the Lorgesk publie buildings, the most beauti att gfeatest tiumber of shade trees and foun- tains:and statues, the highest monument, and many other things the most wonder- ful and best aud “biggest” of their kind, and now it adds to the list the largest competitive drill. Up to this time the greatest. gathering of the kihd was at “Camp R. C. Drum”’ in Mobile, two years ago, but the National Drill exceeds that inore than threé fold in the number of military bodies that will take part. The good people of Washington are re- joicing that the order permitting the sale of intoxicating liquors on the drill ground has been revoked. The bar privilege of the ground had been sold by the Drill committee for $1,800, but it is settled that only temperance drinks shall be dis- pensed at the refreshment counter under the grand stand this week. The revoca- tion of the privilege has been attributed to the influence of the President through the efforts of some ladies of the W. T. C. U., whe-ealled upon to interfere, and also to a suggestion from the Commissioner of public grounds, to the effect that the War Department (to which the drill ground belongs) would. be gratified if the commit- tee would exclude intoxicating liquors.

Heis being urged by the advocates of tariff reduction to call an extra session of Congress early in the fall for the pur- pose- of .considering revenue measures. But Secretary Fairchild is so safe and conservative & manager that there can be no real ‘cause of alamn concerning the stringency of the money market, whether Congress ‘is specially convened or not. Besides the Seeretary’s powers are suffi- cient, under existing laws, to enable him to ward off any threatened danger. In the worst contingency that can be imagined-he is at liberty to step into the open market and buy bonds for Govern- ment account. i en ' Steamers Collide.

It is impossible four them to keep up with orders and they are yoing to increase their force. Their success is due both to the superior brand they manufacture and to the competency of their foreman, Mr. W. 8. Stalling, formerly of Reidsville.

Montin, a Frenchinan, exhibiting his powers in Paris. He is near forty years behind a man named Williams, who came to this place to ex- hibit his wonderful power. Mr. Williams had in his audience, in the old Court House, at least four yet living persons on whom he operated with success—Dr. J. J. Summerell, Chalmers McNeely, John L. Wright. He had the Doctor so far un- der his influence that when seated in a chair he could not rise up; or when stand- ing, he could not sit down; nor could he control his arm except at the will of the operator. Messrs. McNeely and Wright weremore entirely under his power, whom he could make cross the street and follow him. He sent Wright on a mission to Memphis, Tennessee, and caused him to give an accurate description of the Hall in a cer- tain hotel which he had never seen; made him measure off goods (when there were 1,10, lady customer; put him in a thunder and rain storm (when there was none), in which he crouched and shivered while | holding up an imaginary umbrella. Mr. McNeely also performed many | very funny acts, not now so distinctly remem- bered. The late Dr. M. Whitehead was also under the influence of Mr. Williams strange power. So it is scen that the Frenchman, Montin, is too late to excite wonder in this part of the world. -~_>-—_—_ HEILIG's MILLs, N. C., May 23, 1887. Ed. Watchman:—There was a disas- trous hail storm visited this section last Thursday evening doing considerable damage to the wheat, corn and cotton crop. Mr. J. A. Smith says his wheat, corn and cotton crop is totally ruined he says his wheat will hardly make the seed and the saine can be said of the following farmers: P. A. Sloop, John Yost, J. A. Powlass and Wm. Sides—and a great many other farmers nearly as bad. The hail lay two inches deep on the ground and was about the size of a part- ridge egg. The wheat crops that escaped the hail are looking fine. Some of the farmers have ploughed out their crop the first time, There is to bea parsonage built at Organ church in the near future.

Washington fought Gen. Cornwalis; but the people are not both- ered with the yrass in their tobacco this year. Wheat is in full bloom; some complain of chintz bugs. Last week’s rain is making oats look well, I do not believe there is half a dozen farmers in this township that raises tobac- co this year. One man-took some to town, last week, and it never brought him inuch, and he went home and plowed up his tobacco patch and planted it in corn, and pulled up his plants. His neighbors gave him credit for doing so. Joe Cox is not gone mad yet, his dog was poisoned instead of being mad. A neighbor had put some crow poison in his corn and the dog ate some of it.

It is in color a greenish black; hardness 5, and a fraction, and specific gravity 4—4. In composition it is manganese dioxide with some boryta. It is found in roun.ted masses’ of yario.1s sizes; is slightly botyoidal and generally carries 50 to 60 per cent. of manganese. The deposit is of recent diseqvery and has not been explored to any great ex- tent, either on the surface or in the ground. Enough interest attaches, how- ever, to justify saying that the locality will not long be idle. IRON PROPERTY SOLD. It is currently reported that the ‘Lob- dell Car Wheel-Co.”" has'bought an iron mine near Gaston, ij Halifax county. There are several beds. of iron in that vicinage which are ‘of sufficient size to attract capital. The ores are hematite and magnetic hematite, and assay 63 per cent. ofiron with but little more than a “These ores are of conspicuous purity and obviously adapted to the manufac- ture of the higher grades of iron and of steel.’”’ CHALCOPYRITE. Near the city of Raleigh, there was re- cently discovered a fair vein of chalcopy- rite, which is of a rich color, and gives every evicence of being a workable grade of ore, though no assay of the material has been made. The find is within 14 miles of the city. LOWDER MINE. It is reported that the Lowder gold mine has been sold to a company of Eng- lish capitalists, aud that they have ‘‘al- ready taken out several hundred tons of ore, Which averages, in value, $50 per ton’” It is also stated that machinery has been bought and i is to be set up at the mine, The Lowder is situated near Albemarle, the county town of Stanly, and has a bold quartz—milky white quartz—vein, which carried considerable free gold near the surface. The dumps were carefully gone over, a few years ago, and speci- mens taken, but the ore then exposed was not worth more than $10 to the ton, and taking the whole of the ore off the surface it would not have averaged more than $6 to the tonin a practical mill test. Ores that average “$50 to’ the ton are scarce, and, fs is the ease at the Lowder, when no refractory’ tkements intrude to ‘hinder perfect amalgamation, are very ‘If this property has changed hands on the supposition that the ore will average $50, or the half of it, to the ton, as it is encountered in the mine, the parties are destined to realize a different state of things. Free gold, and it is very pretty gold, has been found there. The place has been mined to a depth of 40 or 50 feet, it is snid with profit near the surface. It is quite probable that money may be made there again, but it must be attempted on about an 8 dollar basis. There are oc- casional rich pockets, but these will Le needed to keep the average at 8 dollars. The materigl is perfectly free, and money ought to be made on an 8 dollar ore. BOILSTON MINE. The Boilston gold mine, in Henderson county, is still sending out flattering re- | ports. Reeently a meeting of the direc- tors was had, when the name of W. B. Gwyn was added to thedirectory. They have put in a concentrator and built an assay office, which will be complete in all its details. There is a considerable quan- tity of ore on] the dumps—they keep a month's supply of ore ahead. The Coggins mine, in Montgomery county is reported to have started up last Monday with 40 stamps, and arrange- ments are being made to put up 20 more. We learn that; ¢be Russell mine, in Montgomery county, is running night and day on ore from Riggon Hill, and they are putting ap-an additional ten stamps. Mr. Hatt, formerly of Hoover Hill, is now in charge. of the mill. The Steele nine, im same county, i running on full time with forty stamps. ee aS LIST OF LETTERS.

The order of the King’s Daughters | originated in New York a year or so ago, writes a correspondent of the Philadel- phia Presa, and it has grown and multi- plied until it includes to-day some hun- dreds of the Murray hill girls ayd other hundreds of the tenement district girls. Outside the city it has spread across the river to Brooklyn, and out of the State to the Students at Smith College and the residents of halfthe summer resorts where Fifth Avenue disperses itself in July. The King’s Daughters have never cuin- bered themselves with a constitution or by-laws, and ther organization, so far as they have any at all, is after the fashion of Edward Everett Hale's Ten Times One club, with Henry Wadsworth’s four mottoes, “Look up and not down, out and not in, forward and not back, and lend a hand.” The King’s Daughters wear the Maltese cross, I. HW. N., and there are tens that send books to invalids, tens that teach working girls to sew and to cook, tens that sing in the hospital, tens that visit sick children, tens that pledge to his opponent. ; themselves to say no ill-natured things of their neighbors, and tens that interest themselves in almost every branch of the philanthropic work of the big city. Each group marks out its prograinme for itself, and the only bond of union is the royal purple ribbon and the cross, ‘In His Name.” ee Keep the Chicks Growing riving them a liberal varied diet. ek time seeing that they eat what you give them, and never leave any food for them to trample and befoul. As soon as they will eat wheat, let that be their supper every night, as it is much better than corn, less heating, and just such fool as the growing chick requires. I have always found it best to mix about a teaspoonful of fine ground raw bone meal with a quart of the mixed food twice a week, wend feed to the chicks of the large varieties such as Brahmas and Cochins, us they are apt sometimes to grow so heavy thet their legs seem to be unable almost to sustain their bodies. ae Increasing Milk Yields. An experienced authority asserts that he has increased by five per cent the yield of milk from his eows—and which lis neighbors admit, by at- tending to the foilowing simple rules: Never worry the cows on their gomg or returning between the tield and the dairy; milk them at umform and un- changeable intervals, say five in the morning and six in the evening; let the operation of milking be performed as gently and silently as possible, and remember that passion and threats will not win the confidence of cows, nor will a blow in their flank be the means for dispelling their fear. me es ~--—— “Not Bulk, but Business!” Is the way a Western man put it in ex- pressing to a friend his complete satisfac- tion in the use of Dr, Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets.

Don t waste food on cows unable to make a decent return. The quality of the food has much to do with the quality of the milk. Make your butter so good as to car- ry it clear out of competition with all |substitutes. The richest mess of milk is not usu- ally the largest, nor yet is it always the smallest. Know by test, and not by guess, which is the profitable cow in your herd, and why she is the best. Weighing a cow’s milk will not cause her to give any more, but may cause her owner to substitute a better one.

Mitchell was the first colored man to make a deposit. Two hundred and three deposits were rece ved curing the day amounting to thircy-two hundred and nincty-four dollars. This is certainly as gratifving an opening as any one could wish,—2uleigh Observer. em. Children who are allowed to go barefoot, says Lancet, enjoy almost per- fect immunity from the danger of cold by accidental chilling of the “feet; and they are altogether healthier and hap- pier than those who. in obedience to the usages of social life, have their lower extremities permanently invalid- ed, and, so to say, carefully swathed and put away in rigid cases. As re- gards the poorer classes of children there can be no sort of doubt in the mind of any one that it 18 incompara- bly better that they should go bare- footed than wear boots that Ict in’ the wet und stockings that are nearly al- ways dunip and foul. > 0 i ae The woman that maketh a_ good pudding in silence is better than she who maketh a tart reply. ‘The Friesian Hilch Cow, Has attained a remarkable reputation, and within a comparatively short time: Indeed itis only since 1379 a special herd-book has . been puolished, and which has at pi ou its re ister 1, 194 bulls and 21 cows.

POISE 1a THEASHES | What the Ki. Lebanon Shakers Found—Ine'gent in the His- tory of a Quict Community, —_—— The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com- munity, secluded from the fret and worry of the outside world. They are widely known, how- ever, for their strict honor and vrobity in business. The Shakers belicve that na- ture has aremedy for every dis- ease. A fewhave been found— the ret are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci- dent. Others came to ight as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dysnepsia is a com- paratively new hme crowing out of the conditions of modern life. Ivisa joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as sepa rate ailments, and it was left for the clear- siclite d Shakers to prove that the hasis of this terrible and often fatal compli- cation lies chiefiy in the disord- ered and depraved functions of, digestion and nutrition, They reasoned thus:—‘“If we can in- duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre- tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat- ters which remain atter the life- giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conguered Nervous Dys- pepsia and Nervous Exhaust- ion, = =And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Seigel’s Syrup) in less en) licated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in- curable—with perfect success in every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex- haustion is a peculiarly Ameri- can disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer trom it— both sexes and all ages. Inno country in the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowi ing, all resulting from this aiarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or continual head- ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau- seous eructationus; the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppress- ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake fulness and loss of sleep; dis- gust with food even when weak from the need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth, especially on ris- ing in the morning; furred and coated tongue; cull eves; cold hands and feet; constipation ; dry or rough skin : inability to fix the mind on any labor call- ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore. bodings and fears. All this terri grou Shaker = Extract = (Seigel’s Syrup) removes Dy 1t3 Pus. itive, powerful, direct yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and asaimilation, Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste inatters (the ashesof life’s fire) which unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body through the bowels, kid- neys and skin. ‘The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, ble blood As the result, health, with its cnjoyments, blessings and power, returns to the suf. ferer who had, perhaps, eband. oned all hope of ever seeing another well day. 6. + || toned and fed by the purified | The w eight of the bulls at that show, | — “NEW FIR.

Texas to-day owns her public lands, and her imineral wealth is not controlled by the general mining laws of the country. Moreover she has to- day.as in older times, her corps of rangers, solely controlled by the State. and vet maintained ia active militar service, This is a enique privilege ane one which no other State in the Union PNJOVS, Phere did not for some years after the war and during the reconstruction po riod exist any State force im Lexas. wid the present organization of rangers came into being in IS74, when Gov- ernor Richard Coke was in office The whole force at the } vet it has been found amply sufficient ‘o tuorough'y police the frontier. | A Texas Ranger, strange though it nity appear, is not usually a Texan by marth. The rangers come from every part of the Union, and quite a number of them are voung adventurers, eastern bovs Gf good families. It is 101 pOssi- dle for a poor man to join this State | force. He must have, as a preliminary )to enlistment, a horse of his own, a | Winchester rifle, all the necessities for pcamping out, and about $10 invested la his outtit. He joins for a term of }s1X months, and receives S30 a month | s services and S11 for a ration for The State provides him with all the ammunition he may care to fire tor hi is needless to say that every ranger is a dead shot, both with arifle and revol- ver. A corporal receives $35 a month, a sergeant SoO a month, a lieutenant S75 aid allowance for two horses, a captain S100 a month and allowance for two horses. There is no higher rauk da the rangers than captain. thouzh when two or three companies act together the senior captain is comi- mander. The Texan Ranger is a ecnrious com- pound of a soldier and a police officer. He ‘sa State police officer and « soldier at th» same time. In the former capacity he performs the duties of a deputy sheriff in every county in’ the State, und is authorized to arrest fugi- tives from Justice without a warrant. A list of these fugitives is furnished from time to time toevery ranger, to- gether with their descriptions, and it is hisdaty to commit it to memory. The services that this body of State troops aus rendered to Texas are incaleulable, While all New Mexico and Arizona have been for years past overrun by hostile Apaches the frontier of Texas has never suffered. The manner in which the rangers utterly exterminated the Lepans and Kickapoos as well as he Cournches tsa lively reminder to he Apaches and Navajoes not to cross he Maio Grande where it borderson the Lone star State. Here isan incident which threatened to lead to serious inter- national complications.

A ventleman, who has since gained a national reputation as an evangelist of song, and been de- lighting the party with a happy render- ing of many familiur hymns, the last being the sweet petition so dear to ey- ery Christian heart, “Jesus lover of my soul.” Phe singer gave the first two verses uth much yeeling, and a peculiar em- phasis upon the concluding lines. that thrilled every heart. A hush had fall- ‘noupon the hsteners that was not broken ror suire seconds after the mu- sical notes hat died away. Then a gentleman made his way from the out- skirts of the crowd to the side of the singer, and accosted him with, “Beg your pardon, stranger, but were you actively engaged in the late war?” “Yes sir,’ the man of song answered courteously; “Lf fought under General Grant.” “Well the first speaker continued, with something like a sigh, “I did) my fighting on the other side, and think, indeed [am quite sure, I was near you one bright night eizhteen yeurs ago this very month.

These negro women are tull and robust, with an abundance of wool- ily hair, broad, flit noses and black, rshining skin, in marked contrast to ‘the men, who are peculiarly shaped, their stout, short (isproportionately Nene legs giving them a grotesque happearance. ‘This is the more conspic- “nous from the fact that they geuerally jtravel upon small Arab Lorses, their fect nearly touching the ground. In the harem the women spend their time in Comparative idleness, the bath and toilet filmy the hours not allotted to eating and sleeping. Some few of them smoke cigarettes, and singing, with a harp aceompaniament, is not unusual Their indolent natures make j them averse to exercise, and they most- ly recline upon their divans. In fine weather they are permitted to take a drive, acertain number ata time. A half-dozen carriages stop at the harem in the early afternoon, and are filled with oecupatits, four being the comple- ment of each carriage, They wear very ‘thin lace veils, which permit any one having good sizht to distinguish their features even at a considerable distance. Bat one must be very careful in ap- proaching too near these veiled beau- ties, else he may receive a stroke from the lush of the driver. One wonders often why these women wear such thin lace over their faces while the free women of Constantinople, are muffled }In thick cotton veils, with only a small hole for one eye. The harem carriages are mounted upon heavy springs, paint- fel in vivid vermillion, and highly var- nished. They have golden ornaments and are drawn by two horses. ‘The driveris aeunach, as are also the mount- ed guards, one at each door. When the women visit the great baziar, a kind of market where all sorts of wares are sold, the carriages drive up in line before the entrance, the enards dis- mount turning their horses over to the care of the drivers, and accompany the women through the bazaar. Solid Truth. Every thinker knows that the man who would succeed must du more work than he gets paid for, in every profes- sion, and trade. We take it tor granted that the man will do only $20 worth of work a week beeause lis salary is but S20 a week, for the sample reason that he has never shown his employer that he is worlh more. We figure it that an employe who means to succeed has to dv trom ten to twenty per cent. more work than he gets actual pay for. This he has to do until he reaches a certain) point, having reached that point, he will tind that by as much as his income has increased, by so much has the demand for the amount aud in- tensity of his labor diminished. To put this theory into figures, we say that | aman receiving S20 a week should do 330 worth of work; a man receiving *30 a week should do S40) worth of work, and sv on until, say, the salary reaches $72, and then the laborer can give limself somewhat of a rest, that! 1s to say, about 860 worth of work will sittfy his employer. Labor brings its market value, aud is seldom overpaid, ftener underpaid, It 1s the experience, the “Know-How,” that brings the wmonev.— Manuyaciurers Gazette. | ~ . | —— —— +m Man wants bus little here below, But wants that little strong. !

Editor Watchman :—This is as unustal- ly hard year upou farmers. Last year the seavon was very unfavorable ty al- most all kinds of crops. Very little torn was mised. The wheat was almost ao total failure, and what little was raised, sprouted and retted on. the fields before | it could be hauled in. The tobacco Crop was very inferior, and most of it has been sold nt from one to five cents a pounds searcely enough to pay for hauling it to inarket. Money is therefore, exceedingly scarce, nud yet most farmers are having flour to buy at from $2.50 to $850 per sack, and corn at from $0 to 90 cents a bushel, or shift as best they can without it. Those of us who have good clover ficlds, are fortunate indeed, as with plenty of that, stock will keep in good order with very little grain. Ao far this vear, we have had n very favntable seasom,. Ny tard, washing ibis, but Just cough to keep the landin good plowing order. The crops have been well worked, so far, and corn and cotton are growing finely. Wheat and oats are exceptionally tine. Indeed, 1 have not seen a finer prospect for wheat for many years, and I think that a heavy crop is now almost an assured fact. Most of our tobacco raisers sowed seed beds as usual in the spring, but prices have ruled so low, that not one out of ten or probably more, have planted any at all. Such prices are ruinous to the farmer, and unless there is a decided im- vrovement, the culture of the weed will i entirely abandoned by us. Year after year we have been mort- gauing our crops to procure fertilizers, and when they were gathered in the fall, it usually took at least three-fourths of the cotton to pay the debt, consequently, we have been getting poorer and poorer, every year, until finally, asif with one ac- cord, the farmers very nearly all con- cluded to make no more mortgages for fertilizers. I have no idea that one tenth, or probably cue twentieth as much fertilizers have been bought in Franklin as heretofore. Indeed, I seareely know ofany one who used it. We saw we could not stand it, and every one went to work to make as much home made fertilizer as possible, and it is astonishing the quantity we did make, Compost heaps were nade with cotton seed, muck, ashes, scrapings from the hog pen and hen roost, stable manure, ete., on which all the soap suds were poured. Every row of cotton was fertilized abundantly with this, also a large amount of the corn crop, and it is now showing a decidedly nore beneficial effect than the commer- cial article would) have done. I have never seen corn and cotton with a better stand, or looking more flourishing than at present. And now, when we sell our crops in the fall, we have the consolation to know that the proceeds will go into our own pockets, and not to pay offa mortgage, If fariners will pursue this course here- after, and diversify their crops a little more, taking care always to raise an am- ple supply of bread and meat, they will 4oon get out of debt and have longer and fuller purses with which to supply them- selves and fainilies with some of the com- forts and luxuries of life. Your correspondent of last week (E. P. Hf.) is right in urging all farmers to join some “Farmer’s Club.” Men in every other branch of business, have their or- ganizations and clubs. Why should the farmer not have the same. There is no doubt that much good would result from well organized and properly conducted Farmer's Clubs. We have one at Frank- lin Academy whieh weare told is in a flourishing condition, and we trust that much good may grow out of it, and we advise all our farmers to join it. The health of Franklin is very good at this writing. The assessors and tax list takers will commence operations at Ellis’ school house on 7th June, May 30th, 1887. = —>- <> a Thyatira Grave Yard. Mesxsra Fdlitors :—The writer, with your permission, would call the attention of your many readers in Rowan and _ else- where in Western North Carolina, to this venerable old burying ground, Thyatira Grave Yard, Here is entombed the dust of hundreds of the old pioncer settlers of this part of the State, and many of their descendants to the present time. Year after year the existing generation has met on an enpotes day, and the briars, weeds and bushes are cut off, whilst noth- ing is done to preserve the ancient monu- ments, that marks the graves of the an- cestors of many of the best families in North Carolina, Many of the old soap- stone, slate and granite tombstones have disappeared under the accumulated. soil and nearly all are partially so, whilst the moss and beating clements have made it almost impossible to decipher the letter- ing and designs that the ancient sculp- tors cut upon them. Ought not scme- thing to be doe to restore and beautify the resting place of those old pioneer fathers aud mothers who planted, nursed and guarded the infant Presbyterian Church in Western North Carolina, and many of them watered with their blood the scion of our liberty. A few hundred dollars will nceomplish this. Many of the wealthy families scattered over the State can trace their ancestry back to the old part of the grave yard at Thyatira Church. We wall) mention one—the Brandons: Old Col. Brandon, of revoiu- tionary fame, was buried here. The writer was shown the grave of Col. Alex- ander Work Brandon, buried in 1854, by Maj. N. F. Hall, an old citizen. Maj. li. was directed to the spot to have the grave dug, by Mrs. Mariah Cowan, the only person who knew the spot where the old Col. B. was buried. Nothing remained to mark the grave, and when they came te the depth of the vault, they found a part of the skull and the cue and tucking comb of the Revolutionary Col. B., and the body of Col, Alexander Work Bran- don was deposited in the same grave. While the name of Col. A. W.

ARGUMENTS IN THE SOUTHERN TERIAN CONVENTION, PRESBY- A St. Louis special says: The attention af the General Assembly of Southern Pres- byterians was entirely oceupicd Thursday by discourses on the advisability of organic anion with the northern church. tev. J. M. Potts strongly advocated union, just a8 soon as it can be accomplished safely and honorably to both sides. The animosity engendered by the war should be over. Episcopalians and Baptists had united with their northern brethren, and now was the time for the Presbyterians to do likewise. The northern Presbyterians were drifting into southern territory, build ing churebes, establishing missions and be- coming a part of the South, Many people had united with the Congregational church because they believed the Presbyterian church of the South was a church if section alism. It was time that Presbyterians were forgetting the quarrels of past issues that were dead, Rey. C. R. Vauzhan. of Lexington Va.. <poke against the majority report. Ie thought the chureh could net change its relations as quickly as business men and politicians. There were three different re- ligious differences bet ween the northern and southern church's doctrine. viz: Creed. principle and ecclesiastical polity. . The speaker was Opposed to allowing such a wide latitude to women as in) the north- ern churehes. He laid) particular stress upon the color line, and after a time he said.vou will sce an clegant black gentle man offer his arm to your white girland she will gratefully accept it. People from Vir- viniato the vulf will not have their relations with the colored race decided by the Northern church. The church must teach that slavery was a moral relation, not nec- cssarily a civil institution, He would as much expect to revive slavery in the days of Ramescs as now. If it was in his power to revive slavery now, he would do it. He advised the assembly to be careful and go slow. Rev. B. M. Palmer, of New Orleans re- vived the issues of the war and bitterly ar- raigned the Northern church for what he called cjeetment in 1861, and followed it with- inflammatory depuncitaion, saying that the color line was the cause of the split in 1861 and was the cause of dissension now. <-> Elsewhere.

Steps are to be taken at once by the ladies of Louisville, Ky., to form a Confed- erate Monument Association, the object of thich is the erection of a monument in LouieviHle in memory ofall the Confederate dead in Kentucky. In the ruins of Opera Comique Paris, the bodies of fifteen ladies were found together, and nowhere around could be seen any traces of their escorts. There is a great deal of gallantry that suddenly departs when death is near. The more’s the pity, If man is ever strony, he should be strong in danger, When William J. Finlay was a young man and a stranger in this country, he was befriended by General James B. Stcedman, Last week, in Cleveland, Ohio, twenty theusand people witnessed the dedication of a $50,000 monument to General Steed- nan, erected by Mr, Finlay.

He alleges that during a very cold spell of weather last winter, for some of- fence, he was arrested by police and placed in the guard house for the night; there was no fire or other comforts, and this condition of things brought on a case of sickness which came near caus- ing death, and from which he has never recovered, = a <e $ E— ~—— WashingtonsCorrespondence.

A wentleman living near Cedar Grove vouches for the truth of the following story: A year ayo he was wishing fora season in or- der to plant some potato slips; the wished for rain came on Sunday, and as he had to leave home on Monday set out a couple of rows on that day. Now comes the strange part of the story. The slips which he had planted on Sunday were in the center of his garden, and though they lived, yet he was never able to gather a potato from them larger than a pencil, while on either side of the two rows the tubers reached the usual size. Ie also says that the ground upon which they were planted appear to be blichted and nothing that he plants grows, thouch he has made several experiments. The blighted strip runs ci- rectly in front of the door. —-——_ <> - - A Fatal Boiler Explosion.

So mought it be. The Annual Address of Rev. A. H. Plumb, D. D., of Boston, Mass., at the commencement exercises of Livingstone College yesterday, was pronounced by parties present to have been a very supe- rior effort of its kind and highly appro- priate in all respects. Those of our citizens who attended the National drill, at Washington, returned delighted with the trip, and the many things taken in while there. Not least among thew being the panorama view of the second battle of Bull Run, known South as the second battle of Munassas. We have a quaint friend,,(L. 8. K.) who though but a few miles from town, calls but once a year about the “20th of May: He loves to joke—has been a close ob- server for many of the 68 years he has passed on earth, and remembers well what he sees and hears. In his last visit he dropped out this; “I have never been mad enough at a man to hit him but once in my life and then it happened that there was a fence between us and I couldn't; and IT have often wondered sinee, Whether or not I would have hit hin if the fenee hadn’t been there. No no, aw» man behaving like a gentlenan will not have much trouble in this world.” It is said that the object in view, in cutting down the number of revenue dis- tricts in the State to two, was to make the system of collecting the revenue less axpensiye—a saving to the government of one hundred thousand dollars annual- ly. The intention, we learn, is to occupy the Government buildings at Raleigh and Greensboro, thereby getting rid of enor- mous rents heretofore paid for offices, and making these headquarters for the astern and Western divisions respec- tively, A later report says that Greens- boro is included in the Eastern district. If so, the collector's office should be lo- cated at Salisbury, it being more central, aceessable by rail and telegraph, and con- venient to the mountain and sand hill counties. This would entitle us toa gov- ernment building sooner or later. J. J. Bruner, Ese.—Editur Carolina Watch- man :—Dear Sir: In your paper of the 26th instant, you say that “the Mansion IHouse corner has gotten to be a loating place for idlers and ‘tis hardly decent for ladies to pass that side of Innis street.” You can readily see that this is calculated to injure us and our place of business. If you did not so intend it we would be glad if in your next issue you will make some cxphana- ion that the public may understand that it Was not so intended, and that we do not keep an indecent place or that our store is a loating place for idlers.

It is not often that memory fails us to the extent of putting the wrong man ina particular transaction, but Dr. Summerel] cornered us in such an error last week by denying that he was ever mesincrized. But the Doctor pleasantly helped us out of the dilemma, however, by informing us that the late Dr. Alex. Henderson was the man who, with Dr. Whitehead, tested mesmerism by a personal experience, under the operation of Prof. Williams. Dr. S.’s memory of some of the most. in- teresting incidents in connection with Williams’ visit to Salisbury, is clearer than our own, as those who choose to in- quire of him will find it to their amuse- ment. The object of this paper was simply to show that North Carolina was 40 years ahead of the Parisians who are just now convulsed over the operations of Minnat, the mesmerizer, ape Salisbury White Graded School. The Salisbury white graded school closed a very successful session last) Fri- day. The exercises on that day opened With singing, and prayer by the Rey. Mr. Byrd.

C., May 30.—Saturday night ata festival held by negroes at a church three miles from the city, Walker Foreman was shot and instantly killed by another negro named Cornelius Morgan. The evidence inakes astrong case against Morgan and the verdict of the coroner’s jury charges a third negro named Aiken as accessory before the fact. Both are in jail. Morgan was head waiter at the Grand Central Hotel, this city, and was found by the sheriff's posse concealed in the basement of the hotel. Much excite- ment among the negroes in the vicinity of the tragedy. Foreman was shot through the head and died instantly. News has just reached the city from Franklin that the condition of Ion. J. L. Robinsou is exceedingly critical and that his death is expected within a few days. aS Happy Homes. Much has been written and said about how to make homes happy. The moral- ist and the preacher have hack-neyed this theme until it would seem nothing more remained to be said. But the phi- losophers have gone far out of their way to account for the prevalence of ill-assort- ed couples and unhappy homes, and have ovcer-looked the chief cause, Most of the unhappiness of married life ean be traced directly to those functional derangements to which women are subject. In nine cases out of ten the irritable, dissatistied and unhappy wife is a sulferer from some “female complaint.” A’ trial of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will pro- duce more domestic happiness than a million sermons or philosophical treatises. It cures all those peculiar weaknesses and ailments incidents to women.

They have also found some fine white marble, which is said to;have a fine grain and admirably adapted to the demands of the marble men for ornamental pur- poses, SANDSTONE QUARRY. The sandstone quarries of Anson coun- ty, near Wadesboro, the county town, are rapidly growing in importanee. Recent- ly a northern syndicate purchased a large quarry and they propose to take out quantities of stone for shipment. Prof. Merrill, curator of the National Museum, at Washington, was with the experts in the examination. They report that blocks of stone forty feet in length may be successfully taken out. This syndi- cate proposes to spend $50,000 in a steam plant for quarrying and dressing the stone. They express themselyes as sure of a regular market. The quality of the stone js excellent. It is of arich reddish- brown color, compact, clese grained, Works well, und has the réputation of Withstanding the action of the severest climate. There is an abundance of this material in Anson county and much of it is Just as good, if not better, than the place pur- chased, The formation is extensive, and has the advantage of tumple railroad facilities, ie PLUMBAGO MINEY The Plumbago, or graphite mines, in Wake county, described ia, this paper sumetime during last March, has attract- ed the attention ofsome St. Louis Aa talists who are now hegotiating for the purchase of part of this immense deposit. In the first volume of the geolopy of| North Carolina the following dunguage is used: “But the Wake county beds are the most extensive, as well as the best known graphite beds in the State. They extend in a northwest and southeast di- rection for a distance of sixteen -or eigh- teen miles, passing two'and a half wlles west of Raleigh. There are two beds apparently, forming a sharp auticlinal. The thickness is two to three, and oceu- sionally four feet. * * * It ia an bed of quartzitic and taleo-argillaceuus slates and — shales, which are more or less eraphitic—from twenty or thirty to sixty per cent.” The best of this uraterial is of good quality and may be used in the manufacture of pencils, crayons, &c., while the majority of it is useful in many Ways; in foundartes for mould facings, stove polish, crucibles, furnace linings, Ke. ¢ THK DUNN MINE.

It is declared impossible to detect the cotton seed oil adulteration of lard, the detection being much more difficult than that of olive oil, One of the femenine butchers who has had a place for twenty-five years in Washington Market, boasts of being able to cut upa calf quicker than any man, Good buttermilk made from sweet cream und taken fresh, in form of foud is found serviceable in cases of diabetis. A diet of pure buckwhe:t flour cakes has also proved advantageous. No more oleomargarine under the name of butter in fair France. And the plain characters “margarine,” or “oleomargarine,” must be burned into every form of article containing these manufactures. It is now the rule, according to “medical authority,” not to abstain from drinking water, but to take three and a half pints daily, and large people must take four and a half pints.

The people are buying their corn and meat, raiment, literature, religion, poli- tics, civilization and newspapers from the Yankees. — It is true of the South. It is a mew South indeed. In 1860 we owned slaves, and led an independent civilization, lived an independent man- hood and enjoyed «an independent school of thovght. ‘To-day we are slaves. Slaves, mind and soul to our own race and blood. To the men wl.o now feed and clothe us, write our poe- try, our romance, our history and our theology and our journalism. You cannot deny it. Our farms our break- fast tables, our stores, our ward robes, our libraries, our own Newspapers, Our tenants our clergymen and our politi- cians are all Yankee born. But we are the new South, regenerated, rewashed, redressed, reinvigorated and reinstated to make something of us. The wash- ing the dressing and the invigorating are all going on, and very frequently the new creature is.spanked for its re- sistance and reminded of its former naughtiness.

Y.) restaurant was attracted one evening recently by the cries of some smal] animal mm a room adjoining and accompanied by an occasional thump on the floor. — Curiosity being aroused, the case was investigated, and it was found that a large gray rit had gotten himself into a strange di- lemma. A pile of clams lay in one corner of the room, and in) walking over them the rat had carelessly allow- ed his caudal appendages to slip be- tween the partly opened shells of a mammoth bivalve. No sooner, however, had the foreign substance touched the clam than-it closed up with a snap, fastening the rats tail in a vise. Now, the rodent had no idea of beinga clam, nor being so closely attached to one for any length of time. So he started for his hole in the wall at breakneck speed, squealing lustily and bustling the bi- valve after him. the rat, the hole was not large enough to adimit the clam, and the consequence was tuat the former was unable to get away, and proved zn easy victim to bis human enem:es. ——_———- ts thousands of cures are the best ad- vertisencat fur Dr. Sages Catarrh Rez- Buaprizriy KeceLatou Co., Atianta, Ga, 4 cay. Unfortunately for, It is a curiors fact, perhaps ‘lot known to the general reader; that the exposure of a photographie plate makes no appreciable change in its appear- ance. Jt is a creamy white, senti-trans< parent piece of glass when it goes into the camera. It presents precisely the game appearance aftet the sun has stamped the picture upon. The ntost powerful microscope Would not detect any change: The ntost expert photo» grapher in the world would be unable to decide whether or no a plate has been exposed. Yet the picture is there. It only re- quires “development” to bring it out. And that is what this “dark room” 13 for. The least ray of matural light would spoil the plate. But light strained through ruby or yellow-color= ed screens of translucent paper or glass is deprived of those rays which are so essential and at the same time so fatal to Peete success. ; The operator places his plate in one of the “developing pans,” pours over it a ce.tain combination of chemicals, and, lo! a marvelotis metamorphosis begins. The white surface darkens, and as the chemical continues its ac- tion, the picture grows on the plate before his eyes, until the scene on ob- ject on which the lens was tured is as accurately reproduced asthough caught and held in a magie mirror.—Boston Transcript.

TEE 2 ATemible Strgicd Opa A FATAL MISTAKE. | Tie Cleveland (Ohio) Press, of February 23d, 1883, pub- ‘ished an account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among med- ical men throughout the whole country, Dr. ‘Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous, It appears that a Mra, King had been suffering tor many years from some disease of the stom- ach, Which had resisted the treatment of ali the physicians in attendance, ‘The disease commenced with a slight de- rangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable dis- tress in the stoinach, a feeling that has been described as a faint “all fone” sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a Cisagree- able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. | After a while the kands and | feet became cold and sticky— a cold perspiration, ‘There was a coustant tired and lan- ruid feeling, Then followed a weadful nervousness, with dogmy forebodings, | Finally ne patient was unable to re- ‘ain any food whatever, and ‘ere was constant pain in the ydomen. All preseribed rem- edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, nd in order tosave the patient’s .fe an operation was justifi- able. Accordingly, om the 22d of February, 1883, the opera- tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr: Gordon, Dr. Capner, ond Dr, Halliwell of the Police oard, ‘The operation consist- cl in laying open the cavity -f£the abdomen and exposing re stomach and bowels. When is had been done an cxamin- ion of the organs was made, it tothe horror and dismay the doctors there wes no ‘cer to be ivund. The pa- nt did not nave a cancer. uien too late the medical men ascovered that they had made , terrible mistake; but they »wed the parts together and iressed the wound that they ‘rad made, but the poor woman ank from exhaustion and died aoa few hours.

The Royal Library at Stockholm con- tains a remarkable literary curiosity, called the devil’s code, which is said to be the largest manuscript in the world. Every letter of this gigantic piece of work is as beautifully formed as if. it were minutely and carefully drawn,and it seems almost impossible that it should have been done by a single human being. The devil's code was brought to Sweden from Prague after the Thirty Years’ War, and the Deutsche IMaus- frauen Zeitung tells the following story of its origin: A poor monk who had been condemned to death was told that his sentence would be commuted if he were able to copy the whole of the code in a single might. judges furnished with the original, pen and ink, and feft him in his well-barrel prison. A drowning man catches at a straw to save himself, and the unfortu- sible task with the vain hope of accom- plishiny it. Before long, however, he saw that he could not save his life by his own weak exertions. cruel and certain death, and perhaps doubting the promise of a better life ‘hereaft r, he invoked the aid of the Prince of Darkness, promising to surrender his sonlif he were assisted in histask. The dark spirit appeared as svon as he was called, concluded the contract, sat down like copying clerk, and next morning the devils code was finished.-—-Pall Mall Gazette.

Those who are im the habit of indul- ging in raw onions may be consoled for the mature and able bodied ddor which wraps them as a veil and causes men, women and children to flee from their malodorus vicinity, by the fact that onions are the best nervine known. No medicine is really so efficacious in cases of nervous prostration, argl they tone up a worn out sy8tem in a very short time. Their absorbent powers are also most valuable, especially in time of epidemic. It has repeatedly been observed that an onion patch in the immediate vicinity of a house acts as a shield against the pestilence, which is very apt to pass over the inmates of that house. Sliced onion in a sick room absorbs all the germs and prevent contagion. During an epidemic, the confirmed onion eater should eschew his usual diet, as the germs of disease are present-in the onions and contagion can easily result. —~> A Holiday for the Wife. Give your wife a vacation. She needs one. Little cares aye harder to bear than greater responsibilities, and she has many more eares than her hus- band, and sometiines as great responsi- bilities.

Life 13 more complex, its demands are great- er and more numerous, society more exicting. Who needs a vacation if she does not? And she cannot get it at home.

Matamoras, Mex., June 4.— Particularsof the late action between the Mexican caval- ry under Col Hernandez, and the Mexican bandits in the Bolsa (cut off) has been re- ceived, The bandits 28 in number, were under the command of Lazaro Ayala, a well-known bandit from the State of Nere- va Leon, Col. Hernandez divided up his men to pursue them and his men had un- saddled to take supper at a ranch. They were attacked and fired on fram the woods by the bandits and one man killed, Her- nandez at once mounted his force and started alter them. At the Conej z rancho they were overtaken, and another battle oc curred, the bandits beating off Hernandes with the loss of three men. the Colonel himself beiny wounded. The plucky Colonel with but eight effective men, still being on the trail ofhis foesand reinforced, he again struck and surrounded them, capturing I4of them, whe were imme. lintely executed.

A JOURNEY IN A #MALL SKIFF THROUGH THE YADKIN AND PES DEE RIVERS. Capt. W. H. Bixby and Lieut. Taylor, of the U.S. Engineers, returned to the city Weduesdyy evening froin an exciting trip down the-Yadkiu and Great Pee Dee rivers, the purpose of which was to make examinations of the Pee Dee with refer- ence to improvement of the navigation of the river. Mr. Frauk Brown of Salisbury accompanied Capt. Bixby and Lieut: Tay: lor, and these genflemen with a colored boatman comprised the party of adventu- rous navigators. The boat, a flat-bottomed skiff, with two oars, was put in the Yadkin about forty miles above Salisbury and the joui- ney was from this point to Cheraw, 8. ©., a distance of about 150 miles, which was made in five days. The object in making the Yadkin the starting peint, was to ob- tain a general idea of the character ot this river and to reach the ‘‘Narrows,”’ where the Yadkin and Uwharrie rivers come together, and four miles below form the Great Pee Dee, which is now naviga- ble for small steamers of about two and a half feet draught, from -its mouth at Georgetown to Cheraw, a distance of 190 miles. The first day the party made fifty-seven. miles, with but little difficulty. The cur- rent was very strong and the cascades and rapids numerous; at places the fall was as inuch as twenty to thirty feet to the mile, making progress very rapid and requiring skillful management of the little craft to avoid disaster. Mr. Brown acted as steersman. The party stopped that night at Mr. V. Mauney’s place, op- posite Milledgeville, near the Yadkin Falls manufactory. The next day they started at about 6:30 in the morning and stopped at 9:30 in the evening, but made only 14 miles. Phe river was full of tumbling falls and rapids, and before they had gone three miles the boat struck 1 rock which made crack in one side about three feet long and a quarter of an inch wide. When the boat struck it swung around and went down the stream stern foremost, plunging over 2 fall about four feet high. [t was full of water, but had fortunately lodged on a rock .which prevented its sinking. Before starting on their journey the party had laid in a store of oakum the leak sutliciently to enable them to bail the water out of the boat and get it ashore. Further repairs were made and the journey was resumed. About a mile ‘rom this stopping-place the river was found to be very shallow with a swift current and full of rocks. — It was neces- sary to turn the boat with the bow up- stream, the colored boatman in the water tolding the boat to keep it from going lown stream too fast and being dashed iainst the rocks. Three fourths of a nile further they struck deeper water, when the boatman jumped on board, straddling the bows. The channel had narrowed to about sixty or eighty feet, ind through this the boat went stern- foremost, Lieut. Taylor guiding it with the oars. The river at this point was full of ugly looking rock and the current so swift that the boat was carried along for ibout a quarter of a inile at a speed that coud not have been less than twenty miles an hour. The waves made by the force of the current were about. three feet high. A few miles further the voy- igcers encountered a fall, nearly vertical, f about cight feet. They went down, but when they got through the boat was submerged by the waves and went to the vottom. Mr. Brown was knocked over- hoard by the waves, and when he rose to the surface the boat had been swept eyond his reach. He managed to gain che shore without suffering more than a wetting. The remainder of the party were also thrown into the water but held on to the boat and finally succeeded in getting ashore; Lieut. Taylor relin- quishet his hold of the craft before reach- ing the bank to swim after some of their eflects that were floating down the river. After they got ashore the boat was turn- ed over and emptied, and all the baggage of the party secured, with the exception of a small valire belonging to Mr. Brown. Several bundles of clothing, a tin ease of maps and some rope, were recovered about two miles down the stream from two colored men who found the things while crossing the rivcr ina boat. After wetting the boat ready two of the party went on a short reconnoisance down the stream and found a fall over which it would have been impossible to pass the boat, which was finally lifted over the rocks near the shore and past the dan- xerous fall. The rowlocks had been lost and the only means of working the boat was with the aid of poles. About one mile further the boat was hauled out and carried around the ‘Narrows,’ some five miles, the party stopping as evening then drew on, at Mr. Lowder’s, at Kirk’s ferry. The next day the boat was thoroughly repaired, and the journey continued. A short distance from the ferry they went through Gunsmith’s shoals, with an ex- verience almost equal to that of the day efore, but fortunately no accident occur- red. After Gunsmith’s shoals were pass- ed they had no trouble except on account of dams and shallows, having no such rapids to pass as they had previously en- countered. Bluett’s Falls was a very bad rapid, but easily avoided by a sile channel, Where all the falls were taken in a regu- lar slope. - On the fourth day the party passed at least twenty fish dams, These, ip almost every case, extend clear across the river, not leaving space sufficient to pass a boat, while the law of the State requires that a free sluice shall be left in the dam so as Be- yond these obstructions there was yery little trouble after the third day. | The scenery in the vicinity of the Nar-' rows is very beantiful. The river is con- tracted to a width of about one hundred feet, and sweeps through a gorge formed by walls of rock thirty to forty feet in height and sloping back on cither side to mountains clothed with verdure which rear their tops some three or four hun- dred fect. The gorge is two miles and «. half in length. On the third day’s trip, in contrast with this, the river broadened out into a most beautiful sheet, like a lake—a stretch of water fifteen miles long and a third of a mile wide—dotted with numerous grassy islands covered with trees. The water, however, is very shallow and the current swift, Notes were made of the voyage by Capt. Bixby and Lieut. Taylor, embrac- ing everything in connection with the navigation of the Pee Dee. These notes will be elaborated and maps prepared for the use of the Department at Washington.

BY MRS. A. D. GILLET IN GOOD CHEER. het me tell you, boys, of a run we made On the “West Carolina Line” When I was a stalwart engineer, But just past twenty-nine. There the track_winds over the steep Blue Ridge Where the rocks lie, pile on pile, And drops down over ¢ fearful grade Two hundred feet to the mile. We had pushed up the morning freight that day, For I had charge of the ‘Aid,’ With Ben, my fireman, eevee lad That ever the kiudlings laid. To await the express we had side-tracked out, Just east of the gravel train, Which a gang of convicts, under ° guard, Was laboring to fill again. | Just how it chanced T can searecly tell; The guards seemed tarcless grow n, of the And the engineer for a minute’s space Had left bis cab alone. When a stealthy cenvict dodged between | And slipped the coupling-pin, And then, with a stride and a s:-inging bound, He lodged himself within, i Quicker than thought his desperate hand Had jerked the throttle wide, And before the sentinels looked to see He was dashing down the slide. “Ho, guards! the prisoner! shoot him down !” Went up the frantic yell, And whizz—bang—bang! a leaden hail Of bullets ‘round him fell. ‘ “Don’t kill him—hold—don't shoot!” I cried. “Great God, men, can’t you see No hand could save the passanger train With that engine running free? a Quick ! change the switch! we'll run her el down!” The throttle wide I fling, And, gathering headway, down that grade It sprang like a living thing. We swung like ‘round the curve, Our fires by kindlings fed, And saw the fugitive speeding on Three hundred yards ahead. Ledges and crags rushed madly past As ina fever-dre: um, ‘Twas reckless business down that grade Under such head of steam. lightning We skot past yawning chasms black, So deep we held our breath; That shelf along the mounntain side Was all ’twixt us ayd death. Bounding ahead we scarcely seemed To touch the iron rails— God save us now! we've reached a spot! Where nought but prayer avails. Slow climbing He the winding track, Just where we could not sce oe right on to certain death, The passenger train must be. Could she be saved?

He’s on the tender—there he goes!” I held my breath to see That headlong whirl down jagged rocks Into eternity. Now one frail chance, and only one, Was all that could remain; Courage, ny boy, we'll cateh her yet, And save the coming train. Iran out on the pilot-frame, And measured with my eye I'll make that leap to save the train, Whether I live or die. She's only thirty yards ah-ad, And half-a-minute more Will tell the tale for life or death— Just half-a-minute more. / I step back onthe running board, I’m straining every nerve, I rush—I leap—I cling, thank God! Around ihat frighttul curve.

Se ae The Cost of Royalty. Austrian imperial family is rably well off, having a revenue of £920,000. The British royal family comes next with a cost to the country of £900,000.

Mayor Hewitt was asked the other day how he made his first money. He said that he got it by rei ading to a rich man some three or four boris a day for ayear. Hedid not get the appoint ment by influence, but by competitive examination. The man came to the school and heard the boys read and made his selection of Hewitt as the best reader. He was then but sixteen years of age. For his year’s reading he received the munificent —compensa- tion of $15. Ten dollars of this sum was used to buy his students gown, and the other five was kept by his mother for incidental expenses. During his college years Mr. Hewitt | worked “about seventeen hours a day, engaged in teaching or co: aching other Students At the close of his collegi: ite enreer he had saved about $1,000. With this he went on an European tour, and on his return he had $3 of it remaining.— New York Sun. cee The ‘Fat and the Lean. It is generally supposed that fat peo- ple have much more blood than others. On the contrary they have less. — The blood they have, moreover, is really poor while the fat fills the space which is re-| quired for even the circulation of that. Fat people have then less vital ee than the thin, not possessing sufficien blood to bring every organ up to its fall working power, and the fat hindering what blood there is from flow ing freely enough to the organs, especially” at the moment of action requiring it. Beside all this, the fat obstructs the play of the lungs, so that sufficient air can- not be inhaled to purify the blood; the natural and necessary combustion is fhus so interfered with that the fune- tions of the body are hindered. It « lows that too much exertion should al- ways Le Se against Im people of | ilarge and fatty devel ‘lopment, and ti Oy cen should never be expected of | them. Se 9 A Gentleman. Let no boy think he ean be made a gentleman by the clothes he wears, by the horse he rides, the stick he carries, the dog that trots after him, the house he lives in, or the money he spends. Not one or all of these do it—and yet every boy may be a gentleman. He may wear an old hat, cheap clothes, live in a poor house and spend but little money. But how? — By being true manly and honorable. — By keep- ing himself neat and respectable. By civility and courteousness. By respec t- ing himself and others. By doing the best he knows how.

While a very few farms in the South are | now stocked with small herds of tine cat- tle, yet, under the old system, thousands of planters had supplied themselves with superior cattle for their own use that ag- gregated more in numbers and value than the blooded stock of the same territory at present. With a reckless indifference to evidence he swings the sweeping asser- tion that all the manufacturing and min- ing enterprises of the South are the direct and exclusive fruits of the white man’s deliverence from the debilitating and be- numbing influence of slavery. This entirely gratuitous, as there is no shadow of proof that the South, left undisturbed for the last quarter of acentury,would not | have brought all these, and various other interests, toa higher is PLANE OF DEVELOPMENT than they now occupy. The ‘cotton seed oil mill” is emphasized as one of the gpeci.ie results of the liberated energies ot the new South. Admit, for the sake of argument only, that the oil mill is the peculiar product of the free South—is the fact beyond question that its presence among us is an uualloyed blessing 2? Be- fore the evolutionary features of the “un- | fettered”’ Southern mind culminated in the “survival of the fittest,” the-cotton planters returned their surplus seed to the scil, witha reproductive value of 25 cents per bushel; now the negro renters and many white farmers sell to the mills for 8 or 10 cents per bushel, and the only additional returnis the oil which comes back in the shape of Armour’s lard, for which they) pay ten cents per pound. He would have us believe that the ma- terial R“SOURCES OY THE SOUTH have been developed only under free labor, and vet as far back as 1828, Mr. Thomas H. Benton, himself opposed to slavery, said in the United States Senate that the South furnished the basis of the Federal revenues, the value of her ex- ports up to that time being $3800,000,000; that the North, almost nothing. He further said that four slave States—Vir- ginia, the two Carolinas and Georgia— paid three-fourths of the expenses of sup- porting the government, while they re- ceived nothing in return in the shape of government expenditures. Up to the civil war, New England exported next to nothing, yet managed tu grow rich outol the abundant prosperity of the South. This explains the significant remark of Mr. Lincoln: “If we let the South go where shall we get our revenues 7” ?rof.

The same estimate would ap- ply to the general officers and regimental and company commanders of the two arhiies. Statistics show that in some dis- tricts in the larger Northern cities, with a population of 20,000 children there are i Sunday school accominodations for only 2.000. In some districts there isoniy one Protestant church to 5,0UU; in others, one to 19,000, one to 15,00), and many entire- ly destitute of CUUROII PRiVIEEGES. No wonder the police in Chicago ar- restin one vear 7,200 boys and girls for petty crimes. Whataimercy that these poor people have not been subjected. for three-quaricrs of a century, to the de- moralizing “curse of slavery.” Intidelity j never reached the first stage of its germi- nation in the old South. The erowded houses which suree around Robert G. Ingersoll, from Maine to Kansas, furnish theircwn comment. We would be dis- tinctly understood as offering none of these statements in defense of the moral right of slavery, or as regretting its aboli- tion: neither would we desire. to draw any damaging or invidious comparisons or contrasts betyeen Northern and South- ern citizeas of this, our common countiy.

He supposes that “ofall the books writ- ten by AMERICAN AUTHORQ, 99 per cent come from north of Mason and Dixou’s line,” and then asks, “what is the answer to this discreditable fact? “Slavery,” he reiterates, “the curse of ghivery with its slothful and cuervating uifduence-, rested like an incubus upon the intellect of the white man of the South.” Very well.

Of the fifteen Pres- ‘idents of the Continental Congress, ¢ight Were FROM SLAVE STATES. From 1789 to 1803, a period of sixty-four years, embracing eleven administrations, the slave States furnished eight Presidents whose term of service covered fifty-two years, During the same time the tree | States furnished three Presidents, whose | combined terms covered twelve years. | OF the twelve Vice Presidents, four were } from slave States. Uunder these eleven administrations, the slave States supplied fourteen secretaries of State, eleven sec- retarics of war, six secretaries of the treasury, nine secretaries of the navy and eight postinaster generals. Of fifty-five presidents pro tem. of the Senate thirty- nine were from slave States. Of thirty-one speakers of the House, twenty-two were from slave Siates. Of tive Chief Justices, two, and the only two of great eminence, were from slave States. Of twenty-nine attorney generals, fourteen were from slave States. Of 185 public ministers to foreign countries ninety-nine were from slave States. Without going further into exbasutive details, for Which material is ABUNDANT AND OVERWHELMING, we affirm, without fear of deccut denial. that along the lines of these fifty-two years, are ranged all the broad and lofty conceptions of Statesmanship, all the bold and fruitful enterprises, all the grand and comprchensive achievements from which have evolved the pride, the power and the glory of the American jcople. The war of 1812 was scarcely less impor- tant in its results than the war of inde- pendence, The one left us an embryonic nation; the other developed a full grown power, wiping out the insults of twenty- live years, planting our flag upon the ocean and dissolving every doubt in the minds of foreign powers that we were a government, de tacto, and entitled toa place in the front ranks of nations. This war, we are told by a Northern historian “was a Southern measure for the protec- tion of Northern Interests; vet it was inaugurated and pressed ty a triumphant issue under the administration of a South- ern slave-holder, supported by a “solid South,’ in the face of the almost solid opposition of THE FREE STATES. Who were the master spirits of that struggle? Such men as Clay, Calhoun, Monroe, Grundy, Lowndes and Craw foid; while only five Senators north of the Del- aware voted to sustain it. In the gloom- iest and most critical days of the conflict New England, who “writes all the books,” was holding a secession convention, de- nouneing the war and infringing with the emissaries of Great Britain’ As a conse- quence, when England sent her powerful fleet toinvest our ports, she exempted the ports of New England from the oper- ations of the blockade. When the suc- cess of the war had established its popu- larity in the free States, a Southern man formulated the financial policy which ex- tinguished its immeuse debt in less than twenty years. Under these same ‘‘sloth- ful and demoralizing” auspices of slavery the great Indian wars were fought, their magnificent country OPENED TO WHITE SETTLEMENT, , the savages removed and measures adopt ed for their civilization.

It was this far-reaching stroke of SOUTHERN DIPLOMACY which clicited from the great Napolean the prophetic remark that “the acquisi- tion of Lousiana forever strengthens the power of the United States and gives to England a maritime rival that will some day humble her pride.’ The war for the independence of Texas and the adminis- tration of its government by its Southern Presidents was another manifestation of the “slothtful energies” of these *‘depend- ent idlers” and “overseers.” The war with Mexico and the annexation of Texas were assailed by the free States with the same vehement opposition which they had presented to the last war with England; but a Southern President again held the jhelm; the pluck and patriotism of the “gentlemen idlers’’ once more prevailed, j) and Columbia took into her embrace THE YOUNG GIANT of whom it has been graphically said: “If Texas was laid on the face of Kurope, With its head resting on the mountains of Norway, one palm covering London and the other Warsaw, it would stretch across the kingdon of Demmark, across the em- pire of Germany and Austria, across northern Italy and bathe its feet in the Mediterranean.’ It is capable of pro- ducing 12,000,000 bales of cotton, and still have a cattle range lef larger than the Whole of New York. This war, prosecu- ted by the enervated, non-progressive “overseers,” gathered into the national domain, also, the territory of New Mex- ico, itself larger than the Great Britain and Ireland; extended the (national boundary to the Pacifie and opened to the world the “golden gates” of California, Mr, Tillett, in his haste to elevate the new South, BY DEGRADING THE OLD; mcn of the new South, her Senators, Con- gressmen, cabinet oflicers, Giovernors, judges, jurists, leading journalists, college professors, eminent divines and suecess- ful men of business in ey ery line were born 2nd educated under ihe “curse of {slavery.” There is no new South. The teri isa misnomer and a myth. It is situply a phrase cosiume in’ which old prejudices masquerade through modern prints, seeking to pervert the education of Southern children into the cop- Viction that their ancestors if not criminals, were little more than a race of “ idlers,” hlunderers, blockheads and failures. But the present or future generations will never tind reason to be ashamed of the brain work of the old South. — The literature left us by Wash- Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Cal- houn, Stephens and Jefferson Davis, will stand as monuments of wisdom and MODELS OF CLASSIC LORE, When the mountains of literary Jumber, accumulated by professional book-mak- ers, shall have crumbled into the dust of ages. In all the departments of govern- ment, civiland military, in law, literature and science while the South has boasted no great army of writers, whose wits are the price of bread, she has furnished the minds productive of the grandest results to the country and the world. When a prolific little animal, vain ofher numerous progeny, twitted the Honess for nursing only one, the noble beast replied, “only one, butitisa lion.” It is the ebaracter and the magnitude of thouzht, and not the abundance of thinking, that cut the mizhty and everlasting channels where How the living streams of mind and pro- gress, The naval and military cadets from the South have had no equals as a class.

Asa model for the ‘rising generation the Bishop pictured the old fashioned gir! of thirty years ago in the following words: ‘ She was a little girl until she was 25 years old and she helped ber mother in household duties. She had her hours of play and enjoyed herself to the full- est extent. She never said to her mother, “I can’t—I dont want to,” for obedience was to her a cherished virtue. She arose in the morning when called, and we dont suppose she had her hair done up in papar and crimping pins or banged over the forehead. She did not grow into a young lady and talk about her beau before she was in her teens, and she did not read dime novels, nor was she fancying a hero in every plow- boy she met. The old-fashioned girl was modest in her demeanor, and she never talked or used by-words. She did not langh at old people nur make fun of cripples. She had respect for her elders and was not above listening to words of counsel from those older than herself. She did not know as much as her mother, nor did she think her judg- ment was as good as that of her grand- mother. She did not go to parties by the time she was 10 years old, and stay till after midnight dancing with any chance young man who happened to be prisent. She went to bed in season, suid her prayers, slept a sleep of inno- cence and rose in the morning happy and capable of giving happiness. And now, if there be an old fashioned girl in the world to-day may heaven bless and keep her and raise up others like her.—Omaha Bee. ree eme An old gentleman who had provoked the hostility of a fashionable Jady Whom he had known in boyhood, was asked by his wife what he had done to incur the lady's displeasure. “Nothing at all,” replied the innocent old man. “On the contrary, I was cordial to her, and spoke of the time when I used to draw her to school on a go-cart nearly half a century ago.” Anvih r Steamship Collision.

Greater than any knightly dragon slayer is the wan who overcomes an unho y passion, sets his foot upon it and stands serene strong in virtue.

The young man, ardent and tender, whe turns from the love of women, and buries deep in his heart the sweet in- stinct of paternity, to devote himself to the care and support of aged parents or an unfortunate sister, and whose long life was sacrificed in manly eheer- fulness and majestic spirit, is a of the purest type—the type of Charles Lamb. I have known bat two such. The young woman who absolutely Stays at home with father and mother in the old home while brothers and sisters go forth to happy homes of their own, who cheerfully lays on the altar of filial duty the costliest of hu- min sacrifices, of loving and being loved --she is a heroine. I have dee many such. . The husband who goes home from every days routine and the ing cares of business with cheertnl smile and a loving word to his invalid wife, who brings not against her grievons sin of a long sickness, and reproaches her not for the cost of discomfort thereof, who sees in her languid eyes somethin dearer than girlish laughter, in the face and faded cheeks that blossom iato smiles and even blushes at his coming, something levier than the oldtime spring roses—he is a hero. I think I know one such. The wife who bears her part in the : burden of life--even though it be the | larger part—bravely, cheerfully, never | dreaming that she is a heroine, mach | less a inartyr, who bears with the faults of a husband not altogether con- genial, with loving patience and a large charity, and with noble decision hiding, them from the world, who makes no contidant and asks no confidence, who refrains from brooding over shortcom- ings in sympathy and sentiment, and from seeking perilous “affinities,” who does not build high-tradegy on the sor- rows of the inevitable, or feel an earth- quake in every family jar, who sees her self indissolubly and eternally in’ their- children —she the wife in very truth, in the inward as well as in the outward, is t heroine. thongh rather an unfash- lonable type.—-Grace Greenicood. eee Good company and good conversation are the very sinews of virtue.

The later half of the program will be given tomorrow night and you may con- sider yourself fortunate if you receive an invitation. ape Early Closinz Last Monday night the clerk that struck the gong, to announce the time for closing the stores, was so jubilant that he struck too hard and broke the gong. This was the time set for the ‘arly closing agreement to go into effect and was observed pretty generally throughout the town. We think the merchants will find that they will loose nothing by it, but on the contrary gain, and we hope that the mer- chants who have not already goue into the arrangement will do go. There is not a successful merchant in town, but whose success is partially due to his clerks, and they should think of this and do what they can consistently, to wake their positions more comforta- ble. Give the boys a rest. ST Ee ei Flat Sw..mp Springs. We took a trip last week to Flat [Swamp Springs in Davidson county and found that the buildings were not occu- pied yet although they have been newly }eovered and improved a little. These Springs, in our opinion, have as good if not better medicinal properties than any others in the State, and many | pevple in Salisbury and adjoining country can testify to their virtues. The build- ings are pot what could be wished for, but at the same time @ party going there, expecting to rough it to some extent, could have a very enjoyable time and be jbencfitted by it, and at the wear out all their old clothes. We think that a party of eizht or ten jcould be easily gotten up here the summer at Flat Swamp. They could jtake one cook and a negro man to get wood and do the heavier work and divide jthe cost.

C. Rail- road, into which most of the other roads in the west feed both passengers and ‘reight. It is therefore, the most central} and most convenient place for the reve- nue office, The office belongs here by right of loea- tion, It was stationed here years ago and there was general satisfaction with the arrangement, The people of the town have the matter very much in their own hands. Action must be taken, and that right early, in order to secure the office. The general Government in saying that “the office must go into a government building” was evidently aiming at econ- omy. In order to meet this it may be uecessary for the town to give a building rent free. Let those whe have the good of the town at heart take hold and we may secure the location of the office here. ee ae ur New Cizar Factory. Mr. G. FE.

When you came into the kouse lust evening you flung your hat across the room, Jumped out of your shoes and kicked ‘em right and left, wriggled out of your coat and gave it a toss, and now you are annoged because each article hasn't githered itself into a chair to be ready for you when you dress in the morning. Who cut those shoe strings? You did to save one minute's time in unty- ing them. Your knife is under the bed where it had rolled when vou hopped, skipped and jumped out of your trows- ers. Your collar is down behind the u- reau, one of your socks is at the foot of the bed and your vest may be in the kitchen wood box for all you know. Now, then, my way bas always been the easiest way. [had always rather fling my hat down than hang it up;; I'd rather kick my boots under the lounge than place in the hall; I'd rath- er run the risk of spoiling a new coat than to change it. I own right up to being reckless and slovenly, but, ah me! havn't I had to pay for it ten times over! Now set your foot down and determine to have order. It is a trait that can be ac- quired. An orderly man can make two suits of clothes last longer and look nicer than a slovenly man can do with four. He can save an hour a day over a man | who slings things helter-skelter. He | stands twice the show to get a situa- tion and keep it and five times the | show to conduet a business with, profit. An orderly man will be an accurate ‘man.

There is no question about it—blood will tell—especially if it be an impure blood. Blotches, eruptions, pimples and boils, are all symptoms of an impure blood due to the improper action of the liver. When this important organ fails to pro- perly per‘orm its funetion of purifying and cleansing the blood, impuritics are carried to all parts of the system, and the symptoms above referred to are werely evidences uf the struggle of Nature to throw off the poisonous germs. Unless her warning be heeded in time serious re- sults are certain to fullow, culminating in liver or kiduey disorders, or cven in consumption.

A happy home is the brightest spot on earch that the eye of God looks down on. Love and peace in his home send sunshine ace man wherever he goes; disorder and trouble there is misery everywhere. There are few worries of which a man cannot now and then shake off, but who can shake himself free from the skeleton in the closet, from the worry in the household, and the blister on the heart? A day will tell how many a man carried that, witheut wineing, down to the grave. meets to each other in the best sense. when order, love and goodness prevail in the house, then the man who has a hard battle in life to fight can leave his struggles behind him when he enters there. With all our faults, we are the most home loving of people, and that is the reason why we are the greatest of people. Whiatever helps home-life, is a national blessing; whatever hurts home- life, is a national curse; and the greatest curse that ean’t touch these blessings is what would tamper with the home.

WHAT KILLS AMERICANS. Fast Living—Reckless Kating—Hard Drinke fag—Poer Siceping—serinl Jealeusy— Pelitical Ambition —Vielent Passions The Race fur Meney. The alarming disease of this country is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under many names but it is essen- tially the same complaint. Hospitals end private institu- tions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United States is de- creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our bmsiness, p-ofess- ional and public men sre so frequent as seareely to excite remark, The majority of sui- cides, committed without ap- parent reason, or under so-called “depression of spirits,’ are really prompted i nervous prostration, which is « fruitzul source of insanity snd cxime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They sssail the springs of its power and pros- perity. They wreck manhood’s streneta and wouan’s useful- ness and benuty. | Every one should know the causes Whatare they? The answer 13 ¢asv and terribly lain: Our vicious personal fants our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in- tense mental and pliysical strain arising from our mud race after money, position and infiuence; the fears and struggles of pov- erty; the use of nurcoties and stiinulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into dav; and, briefly, our despernte willingness to pay any price for an hour's dleasure or suecess. So we en life's candle at both ends and fill the Junatie asylums and the graveyards, The disease froin which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng: lish, Nerrovs Dyspep sic, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs oF Digestion, Assim- lation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion heing impeded or des- troyed, the whole body, nerves included, Is Kterally sturved ; even When there is no emaci- ation to tell the sad story. Ne: vous prostration sends out its warnings:—headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the Lrain; wakefulness; loss of appetite and disgust with “00d ; loss of mental energy and interest In ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx- lety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; fou! mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitation of the heart; sal- lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition, The remedy is e total aban- donment of the habits and cus- toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shaker Lctvact of Roots (Seigel’s Svrup) to cure the anes fends done. This great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb- anon, N. Y., ix especially adapt- ed to era‘licate Nervous Dys- ia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power- fully upon the disordered stom- ach, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, pro- moting the secretion of bile, ex- peHing waste matters from the system,and purifying the blood. Upon the nervous system Shaker Extract(Seigel'sSyrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then aves the nerves to regain their nat- ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition. It iseafe to say more nerv- ous dyspeptics have been re- Breil by it from the depths of misery to a fresh enjoyinent of |ife and labor than by any or al] other forms of treetmert con: bined. 4. - : + New York is becoming alarmed at the rapid influx of paupers and_ crimi-| nels from Europe. ; ; in the nnmberef insane in the State; phe undersigned have entered into a The’ co-partnership fer the purpose of conduct- When lightning struck the chimney of the residence of George H.

There is a certain township assessor who valued a tract of ten acres for taxation at $1,000. The valuation had not been changed for a score of years. At length one acre was sold ‘to a stranger for 81.000. The following year the assessor valued the single acre it $1 000 and the nine acres which re- mained in the original holder's posses- sion were valued at €%00. The asses- cor claimed that the oue acre plot being hen sold for 81,000 he was required to value it at that sum, but that the nine cre plot having been diminished by sne-tenth should be valued at one- tenth less.— Trenton Kporiin. > Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
