Just belew the “Big Ratt” the river widens and makes a succession of shoals or rapids, locally known as the “Little Falls.” At this point on the Stan- ly Bide, Jol Freeman is building the Fespermav Mills and Wool-carding ma- chine.

The Stanly side is not so steep, a wagon way Tanning within a few rods of the river. The fall here is not so great as we expect- tl; not much more, if any, than that just above the Narrows. The Falls and Nar- tows have loug been the resort of pleas- Ure seekers and itehthyoplnngigts.

A conmiittee of the colored citizens of Coarlottesville, Va.,. have mesorialized Hon. John L. Cochran, judge of the County Conrt of Albemarle county, re- questing him to sv reconstruct the jury as to permit some&qualified colored per- sons to take their places on the grand and petty jury. The ground of the me- morial is that the colored people cannot expect impartial trials by juries wholly alien to them “In race, color, interest and feeling.” The trial of colored per- sons by exclusively white juroys is~de- nounced as 4ypfair and repulive to ordi- nary instinets of jnstice. They claim that under the law of the State, as well as dhder the fourtcenth amendment, they have as much right to sitin the jury-box as to vote and pay taxes. The judge an- swered the memorial at once and respect- fully. He says questions in connection with citizenship have not been finally adjudicated, but he is satisfied the stat- utes do not give any particnlar class of mep the right to demand being put upon the jury list. The making of the jury lists is a matter left to the souud discre- tion of certain officials designated by law; all that they are bound to do in the premises is neither to inelude nor exclude any-on aceonnt of his color. —_—-—~- — Daniel Geary, an old citizen of Mobile, Ala., tiged both barrels of a double-barrel- ed gun at a burglar who got into his room rboeut 2 o'clock Tharsday morning.

The Mofetish arose from the people; he was originally a fellah, but had been with the Khedive evef since he was a Prince. “ He was a great fuvorite with the people, who loved Lim better than they did the Khedive at that time. The Khedive thought over what his advisers had sgid, and, with him, to think is to act. He invited Mofetish to drive out with him, They rode to the outskirts of the town, when the Khedive stepped out of the carri- age, which was immediately surround- ed by a guard, and Mofetish has nev- er been heard of from that day to this.

Goschen and Joubert are the ones reponsible for the life of Saidik Pasha. They said “Get rid of him,” and the Khe- dive obeyed.

The people who judge the Khedive harshly for this act do not take the ‘ . . —— circumstances into consideration.” 2. nr Queer Accidents. save which Strange mischances with fatal re- sults are daily happening here and there. A Boston butcher ran against a knife that lay on a block, severed an artery, and bled to death. A Den- ver woman caught her feot in a rail- road frog, and could not get loose be- fore a train ran over her. A Vermont farmer sneezed with a straw in his mouth, drew it into his lungs, and died choking. A horse kicked a Michigan boy into a deep well where he was drowned. The shoe flew off a kicking mule in Nashville and frac- tured the skull of a.baby. An Ore- gon girl swallowed her engagement ring and lived only a week afterward. While standing on his head on the top of a high fence post, an Towa boy lost his balance, fell into a tub of hot water and was fatally scalded. A atone, thrown by a playfellow, broke a glass from which a St. Louis boy was drinking, driving some of the pieces down his throat, and he died a few days afterin great agony. Look- ing up to watch the fligt of an arrow, a Nashville woman did ‘not see it de- ascending directly over her head, and the sharp metal point penetrated her brain through one of her eyes, killing her instantly.

John Randolph, who by nature was very aristoeratic, resolved at one time to mix more freely with the common people.

A big fellow came puffing into the bar room of the tavern where he stop- ped the first night and ordered a mint julip, as he was,“‘nearly dead with the heat.” Directly afterward another came in on the same errand declaring himself to be “nearly frozen to death.” Randolph stepped up to the bar within order fur the same beverage and the explanation, “I like it.” The room afjer hile became so full of smoke from thé pipes of vig) ors that it was diffenit to Ureat Randolph lighted an immense roth tobacco.

A correspondent of the New Or- leans Jtem, who was privileged to hear a black priestess chant a Von- dou incantation, says: “As arranged according to musical writers, the song appeared to have been composed in short lines like Runic verses; but a musical friend, who accompanied me, confessed himself unabled to produce the music to which they were sung, a great part of it heing characterized by variation of quarters and sixths of notes, requiring a most delicate training of the ear to memorize and note down. It seemed that most ofthose who have written upon the subject of negro mu- sic have given little or no attention to this peculiar feature of it. There are little tones in the commonest rousta- bout song which are not to be found in civilized music, and which few white throats could produce; and yet it is to these fractions of tones that the true negro melodies owe their peculiar wild and melancholy sweetness.”.

The Perplexing Contest Over His Titles— English Hoxors to his Remains. | Lonpon, July 1.-—The Times's Paris correspondent says: “The majority of | the Bonapartists ‘are understood to con- | cur with Mr. Rouher in acknowledging Prince Jerome Bonaparte as chief of the Napoleonistic dynasty. They argue that. ithe will of the late Prince fmperial, which asks the ex-Empress Eugenie to co-operate with Priuce Victor, was writ- ten ou the assumption that thé testator would survive Prince Jerome Bonaparte. This reasoning, however, is considered a trausparent exense for the uon-obser- vance of the impracticable willof the Prince Imperial, M. Rouher’s retirement from active polities is evidently owning to the fecling that he aud Prince Jerome could hot act together, and the Jatter could not be set aside. What between Prince Jerome Bonaparte’s possible adherence to the republic, and the impossibility of the Clerieal section of the Bonapartists choos- ing a leader without cither acting against the wishes of the Prince Tmperial’s will or brooking a distivet disavowal from | Prince Victor, the Bouapartists are in one of the most perplexing positious ever oceupied by any party.

By the kitchen fire stood his patient wife, Light of bis home, and joy of his life, With face all aglow and busy hand, Preparing weal for her husband’s band ; For she must boil, And she must broil, And she must toil, And all for the good of the home, with When autumn is bere its chilling blast, The farmer gathers his‘crop at last ; His barns are full, his fields are bare, For the good of the land he ne’er hath care ; While it blows, And it snows, The winter goes, He rests from the work of the land. But the willing wife, till life’s closing day, Isthe children’s guide, the husvand’s stay, From day to day she hath done her best, Until death alone can give her rest, For after the test, Comes the rest With the blest, By the farmer's heavenly home, —Christian at Work. cnieenenaee Circumstantial Evidence. The announcement by the New York pa- pers of the murder of Mrs. Hull was in each instance, though he was not named, an ac- cusation against her husband as the mur- derer On the second day he was _ plainly named The police would appear to have held the same suspicion; at least they kept the Doctor under close surveillance. What the police theory was, or whether the po- lice had a theory, or whether either the po- lice or the newspapers (both lay cliam to to the honor) contributed materially to the discovery of the actual criminal, are things But the newspapers are “giving fits” to the police on the supposition, assumed as fact, that act likely ever to be known. thelr theory was that Hull was the murder- er and thus a great injustice has been Much moralizing on the perile of circumstantial evidence is indulged in view of the injury to Dr. Hull, against whom, as the World now says, there Was not a single piece of direct evidence. Now that the real murderer has been found, the World goes on to say, “all New Yorkers can see what a majority of the people of New York probably thought a strong or at least 4 specious case of circumstantial evi- dence against Dr. Hull falls at once to the gtound when confronted with the facts of thecase. The case against Dr. Hull was ‘pecious, not because we knew aa single fact inconsistent with his innocense, but because there were many facts quite consistent with tis guilt and because no suspicion cotld be \tached togny ether person. The people Who conténded most earnestly that the cir- cumstances of the murder pointed to him ca the perpetrator will most rejoice to be re- eved of a suspicion dishonoring not only to the afflicted man who was the victim of t, but to human nature itself. It is curi- ous, and it ought to be instructive to con- ides, now that this suspicion is finally dis- Pelled, how terribly plausible it was, Many men have suffered death on evidence less strong than that which might have been brought against Dr. Hull. Itis not likely Perhaps that a legal conviction could have en secured against him, but the evidence might have sufficed to produce a moral ‘onviction and to weigh down such years of life as remain to him with the burden of ‘cruel distrust added to the burden of a ‘adden and dreadful bereavement. Really, almost the only considerations which those ¥ho believed in the innocence of Dr. Hall ¥ere able to adduce as inconsistent with the supposition of his guilt were that the uacy of his motive was not made out wad that he was physically incapable of ne such a murder. In other words, tenis three elements of capacity, oppor- .“y and motive which must be estab- by circumstantial evidence, that of “pacity was apparently lacking, and mo- Was not proved.” 4 very remarkable English case of cir- "Mstantial evidence is also cited by ¥ done an innocent man. 0, X THIRD SERIES £03 .| confessed. by the murderer, in which every | World. A murder was committed :some thirty years ago at‘night in a gentleman's house in the south of England, and ‘finally one of these three elements was. apparently so lacking that nothing but his own blun- der would ever have brought the crime hometo him. The story is so interesting | in itself as well as so suggestive that it is worth repeating. The shipwreck of an In- diaman cast upon the shore a passenger who was taken to a country house near by, the owner of which, a man of fortune, had for many years been confined to his chair by gout. The host recognized in the man whom this chance had committed to his hospitality a school-fellow with whom long years before he had had a bitter school- boy's quarrel, and who bsd“peached” upon him. Old times were revived, and the host recalled this childish grievance only to laugh it off. He devoted himself to enter- taining his accidental guest, and the even- ing passed off agreeably. When bedtime came the host was wheeled to his chamber and the stranger wasshown toa room on the floor above that inhabited by his dis- abled acquaintance of yore, so strangely once more stumbled upon. In this room on the next morning he was found dead, with a hideous gash across his throat. As it was evident that the man had been mur- dered, a suspicion, much like that which attached to Dr. Hull, was fastened upon a maid-servant who slept upon the same floor with the murdered man. The girl was ar- raigned and a case was made out against her as the only person possible to be sus- pected. Her master, a local magistrate, naturally took a special interest in avenging the murder of his guest, pushed the inquiry, and aconviction seemed inevitable. But somewhat to the annoyance of the prosecu- ting counsel, who thought the case com- plete, he insisted upon asking and reiter- ating in a curiously persistent way, the question whether the maid heard no noise during the night. At last she suddenly remembered and stated that at a certain hour of the night she had been disturbed in her sleep by a slight noise in the passage before her door “like dragging a dog.” From this point seized amd pressed by the defence new light grew and broadened un- til the disabled man, who had to be lifted from his chair and who had no motive con- ceivable to any person engaged in the in- quiry for injuring his guest and his old friend, confessed the murder! The memo- ry of his childish wrong had grown strong- er within him as he sat at meat with the boy, now become an old men, who had wronged him. It came on him like a pas- sion in his bed, until the lust of revenge at last mastered not only his mind, but the very infirmities of his body. He dropped out of bed, found and took a iazor and dragged himself in agony on all fours up the staircase and into the room where his guest and enemy lay, to do murder upon him. The case is one of the most impres- sive of the long list of warnings against that over confidence in “circumstantial ev- idence,” which would have acquitted him without a doubt or a question to commit the judicial murder of his servant, and which now again in our own city, but for the capture and confession of the real mur- derer, must have done a grievous and ir- reparable wrong to the husband of Mrs. Hull.— Ral, Observer. OVER THE FaLis aT NIAGERA.—There was a terrible scene at Niagara a day or two ago. It was reported that a religious maniac was about to float down the river in a rowboat to the edge of the fall, ex- pecting to be miracuously saved from death. A multitude of people gathered upon Goat Island and along the Canadian shore, and presently they were horror- stricken to see a boat drifting down with the strong current directly in the middle of the river. Init was the figure of a man. He sat placid and motionless, seemingly perfectly confident that a mita- cle would save him from his impending doom. Nearer and nearer to the awful brink rushed the boat, and finally with a mad plunge the frail bark dashed head- long down into the seething cauldron be- low. Women fainted and strong men fell to the ground weeping and praying. Some hurried to the foot of the falls, and finally succeeded in recovering the body. It was stuffed with straw. -—_—— REMEDY FOR CHICKEN CHOLERA.— Nail a piece of bacon on a tree or post so that the chickens can peck it, and if they are too far gone to peck for themselves, put a small piece of fat bacon down their throats for three mornings and they will recover.

Lrraker Townsuir, July $4, 1819. Mr. Editor : The time is not far distant when the above question will be-voted up- on, and as F have seen nothing in the pub- lic prints lately relative thereto, I, with the solicitation of others, have concluded to hint at the matter—which may lead to some action. We regard it as one‘of the’ most important subjects now claiming the attention of our section of the State. I will give a few reasons: f, 1.:Whatever will result to the greatest good of the largest number ought to be the law of the land. The land-owners are’a very important class, in the strength and support of the country. fel 2. No one has a right to trespass on any one’s premises, which the owner pays for and improves, as it now is. A man’s prem- ises should not be subject to depradations by his neighbor’s stock without redress ? 8. It will result in great good to the farming class, including tenants, in the saving of labor and timber, before it is too late. The profits arising from the cultiva- tion of hedge rows, fence grounds, and the natural improvement of lands, not lia- ble to trespass, are items well. worthy of note. 4. The fence law is growing in favor with the people. Many who were opposed are now in favor of it, and are anxious for the change. Consequently fences have been neglected, and should the law fail to pass, extra efforts will be required to re- pair under the old system, which the peo- ple will be very loth to do. 5. Because it meets with some opposition does not prove it to be an evil. The rail- roads, public schools, and every enterprise which resulted largely in the welfare of all classes, met with the same unfavorable reception. 6. Last but not least, it will tend to the elevation of society. As it now is there is too much labor for the amount realized. Consequently farmers’ children are ground down to hard labor eight or nine months in the year to make a support, and have but three or four months left for school. Thus the majority of farmers remain poor, their children grow up with good minds uncul- tivated. They follow in the fvotsteps of their predecessors, and think it is all right. On the other hand we feel persuaded that the proposed change, although it be but a stock law, will be the initiation of a “new and living way,” so to speak, whereby our children will become in truth sons and daughters of North Carolina, instead of servants. If the State fails to provide adequate means, as hitherto, for the higher cultiva- tion of the rising racé, I verily believe that the new method will soon enable the mass- es to accomplish this end unaided, together with all the blessings and advantages that accompany prosperity and _ intelligence. Knowledge is power, and gives the posses- sor the advantage of the uncultured in ev- ery situation in life. We hope Rowan and adjacent counties will act speedily,—call a convention, and have the counties canvass- ed by ittelligent speakers, to enlighten and encourage the people. : Very respectfully, J. L.

It is well known that the duel be- tween Mr. Clay and Mr. Randolph originated from gross and bitter per- sonalites between those: gentlemen on the fluor of the House. It is remem- bered, too, that Mr. Clay once told Mr. Pickering on the flooring of the Senate that he “disgraced the carpet on which he sat.”” On another occa- sion, Mr. Clay, in the heat of debate, impeached the veracity of Col. King, of Alabama. Col. King instantly wrote a challenge, which was handed to Mr. Clay, and Mr. G., bowing towards Mr. King, said: “I accept it.” But immediately Mr. Clay proceeded in substance to say that he knew Col. King would not at- tribate to fear on his part what he was about to say; and then he added he had allowed himself in the heat of de- bate, to charge Col. King with false- hood, “but, Mr. President,” he said, “T withdraw the charge, for, sir, the Senator of Alabama is not capable of falsehood.” Mr. Webster indulged only once, we belive in gross personalitis. Charles Jered Ingersoll had charged, in his place in the House, that Mr. Webster had been bribed by the manufacturers to represent their peculiar interests in the Senate. Mr. Webster repelled this charge, in his place in the Senate, in the most vehement manner, and handled Mr. Ingersoll very roughly personally. But Mr. Webster did not pubish this speech in the regular edi- tion of his speeches. Mr. Calhoun was remarkable for his S: natorial dig- nity. He de!ivered his last great speech in the Senate on the 7th March, 1850, or rather it was rcad for him by a friend, for he was too weak to read it himself, and as soon as the speech was finished, Mr. Foote rose and made a vehement, personal attack on Mr. Calhoun. This was too much for Col. Benton, who, though not on personal terms with Mr. Calhoun, was always for manliness and fair play, and he at once said, in tones loud enough to be heard in nearly every part of the chamber, “when God puts His hand on a man IJ take mine off.” We might devote column npon col- umn to reminiscences of this kind, to show that modern days are no worse in this respect than former days. We are neither improving nor retrograd- ing on this score. Witness the fierce personal assaults on Gen. Jackson’s administration ; the abuse poured out by Wise aud Peyton on Whitney and Kendall; the threat that “ten thou- sand armed men would march down the avenue on the White House,” if Gen. Jackson did not change his course on the Bank question; the personal assault by Sam Houston on Mr. Stans- bury, a brother member of the House, for which he-was reprimanded by the Speaker ; the personal insalt offered by Henry A. Wise to James K. Polk when the latter was Speaker of the House, which Mr. Polk did not re- |sent, but for which he paid Mr. Wise in 1845, when as President he found Mr. Wise was American Minister to Brazil, and, being # good-Minister, he continued him in his place;.and the threat by Gen. Jackson, soon after the Seminole'war, that if a certain mem- ‘T ber of Congress “did not cease his as- ‘posed to settle. ——keeeeeee es ington. and cut his ears off.” Senators should remember that they are gentlemen. Of course everybody says that. On ninety-nine occasions out of one hundred they do so remem- ber, and they do so act. One Senator says another Senator isa liar..

From Sunday Afternoon. Sunset on the Suez Canal. ‘Two in- terminable banks of grayish-yellow sand, growing gradually higher as they round southward; a little rib- bon of light green water barely. visi- ble between them; a hage steam- dredger in the background, with a elamorous garrison of blue-shirted men and red-capped boys, who rush shouting to the side to stare at our steamer as she comes gliding by ; be- hind us the houses and docks of Is- mailia, the -Khedive’s new capital, fading into one shapeless mass of gray, amid which a darker spot represents the mouth of the “Sweet-water Canal;” and all around, the dreary waste of the great Arabian desert, looking vaster and drearier than ever beneath the fast-falling shadows of night. At first sight it is certainly difficult to realize that this tiny streak of water, less than twenty-seven feet deep and barely seventy in breadth, can really be one of the great commercial highways of the world. Like the Russian military road across the Cau- cassus, or the little thread of railway which spans the boundless desolation of the steppes between the Volga and the Con, it is so utterly dwarfed by the vastness of it surroundings that one half forgets the magnitude of the results achieved, or the long and ter- rible struggle against heat, sickness, drifting sand, insufficient supplies, and constant hinderances of every kind, which human skill and human perseverance have conducted to this glorious completion. The men of old time, when they completed the same task, certainly found it no child’s play. “In the region of Nech,” says Herodotus, note-book in hand as usual, “one hnndred and twenty thou- sand Egyptians perished in digging this canal.” What a history of op- pression and wrong, of grinding misery and wholesale destruction, do those few words convey ! Stand by your anchor! Let'go!” The captain’s hoarse shout, and the rattle of the chain as our anchor splashes into the water, scatter my visions at once, and I look up to per- ceive that our surroundings have un- dergone a sudden and marvelous change. From the narrow monoto- nous avenue of the canal we have glided into a wide expanse of smooth, dark water, which seems almost boundless in the shadowy — twilight.

A very tall man with sandy chin- whiskers entered the door. The car was full, and the seat occupied by two persons was filled with a valise, a bundle, a shawl and a thin woman of thirty-five, with the latest style of red hair and false teeth. The man with the sandy whiskers, feeling a sympathet- ic bond drawing him toward the wo- man’s red hair, touched her on the - shoulder and said : “Ts that seat engaged ?” “Yos, it is,” snapped the woman, swelling up in the seat, that the man might observe no possible room. “Ah!” murmored the man ina pleasant tone. Then he went and stood by the stove and mused for a while. Presently he returned to the scene of his rebuff, and leaning on the arm of the seat, said softly : “I beg your pardon, madam, but as I was standing by the stove, your fea- tures struck me familiarly. Did you ever attend a Presidential reception at Washington ?” “No, I never did,” replied the wo- man, but in a milder voice than she had at first assumed. “Then you will please pardon me,” said the man, with an apologetic air ; “the mistake was occasioned by your close resemblance to a young lady from Philadelphia, who made her de- but that season, and whom I had the pleasure of meeting. Sbe was the belle of the season.” “No, I never was in Washinton,” remarked the woman, in a mollified tone. “It is strange how much you resem- ble the lady in question,” pursued the man. “The hair is the same golden hue, and while her features may not have been so clear cut and Grecian in their—but there, excuse me, I am an- noying you,” and the tall man started - away. “Don’t hurry,” said the women, pleasantly. “There doesn’t appear fo be many empty seats; won’t you sit here?” And she picked up her su- merous baggage. The man with the sandy whiskers didn’t know, but finally accepted the invitation and in an ineredibly brief shace of time had the valise and buan- dle in the rack above, theshaw!l tack- ed around the window to exclude the draft, and was regaling the red-headed woman with a choice collection of an- ° ecdotes that kept her laughing till the passengers could see her false teeth.

Raleigh Observer. We sometimes see a picture which a moment Jater we are ready . to affirm we had seen before, although such might have been a physical iupossibility ; and in like manner we uccasioually meet up with matter which so entirely accords with our ideas that we can almost imag- ine it to be the product of our own mind. An illustration of this is afforded by the following extract from the ready peu of our esteemed friend T. J. L., which we take from the columns of the Goldsboro Messenger, and which agrees so thorough- ly with our own notions that we would not change a letter iu it: While some of the newspapers are al- ready nominating the Democratic candi- date for Governor next year, there is very little anxiety or exeitement amoug Dem- ocrats in the Cape Fear section as to who shall be the party nominee for that office in 1880. The reason for this is found in the fact that there is the greatest couti- dence en the part of the Demecrats of this section that it will be difficult for the party to go amiss in making its next Gubernatorial nominatiou—that it can win with avy one of a score of candidates that might be named. The party is in- deed fortunate in possessing among its leaders many men who will command its hearty and enthusiastic support; and Cape Fear Democrats are fully satisfied that when the time comes, a nomination will be made that will be in every res- pect acceptable to the party, aud will command the approval of the voters at the polls. While it is all right and prop- er for newspapers and their correspond- ents to put on record their appreciation of the fuithful services rendered by the leaders of their party, this writer re- spectfully submits that it is altogether wrong for them to attempt te forestall the actiun of the party caucus.—Ral.

Stokes, and other notables of South Carolina ; aud Ex-Gov. Senter, Prof. Hanter Nicholson, Judges Ingersol and Moses, of Tennessee. The exercises commeuced by a speech of welcome by Mr. Ewart, of Heuderson- ville, responded ‘to ‘by R. Y. McAden, of Charlotte, after which the vast crowd was introduced to long and heavily baden tables, from which all ate to their hearts’ content of as fine a dinner as conkd be set iu North Carolina. Then came the “feast of reason” by the best speaking it has been my fortuuve to hear in years. © First, Gov. Jarvis was presented by Gen. Cliug- man in an interesting and well delivered speech. The Governor's speech was short, but nevertheless interesting aud to the point—weleoming the distinguished strangers frum a distance to our State, and asking their co-operation in the com- pletion of the great railroad route from Charleston to Cinciunati. In concluding he introduced Gov. Simpson, of South Carolina, wlfo made us an cloquent and sensible speech of some 30 minutes’ length, showing the great interest the whole country, from Ohio to South Car- vlina, had in the completion of this great thoroughfare, aud closed quent sentence, “In my mind’s eye I ean inthe no distant future see the Tron House leaving Charleston in the early morn and before the dew had dryed from his mane he leaps the Alleghanies, and ere the night fall he bathes his fetlocks in the waters of the Ohio.” Then came Ex-Gov. Senter, of Tennessee, who told us that his home was less than a hundred wiles distant from that point, but in or: der to be present he had had to travel a distance of 600 miles. He was deeply concerned in the work of the road and promised that when the cars reached the ‘Tennessee line, a distance of some 60 miles, that he would insure us the com- pletion of the route through Kentucky to the Ohio River. After this sensible and well timed talk, came the great speech of the day by North Carolina’s greatest ora- tor, Daniel G. Fowle, of Raleigh. Before he had spoken twenty words yon could see the crowd rising and pressing to- wards the stand, and before ten minutes audience an individual whose attention was not riveted npon the eloquent speak- er. What shall Tsay of that soul-stirring, patriotic speech? To attempt to give any correct idea of it would do him such injustice that I shall not make the at- tempt. He spoke of our great govern- ment, our great State and our great peo- ple in such burning words of eloquence that the shouts and tears were simulta- neously brought from every listener. He told us of the interest he felt in the inter- nal improvement schemes of every sec- tion of the State, from Cherokee to Cur- rituck—that his whole soul had been wrapped up in them in the past, and for the future it should be the deasest and quarters of the Greenback party.

On the 26th a part of the crew of the Mexican war steamer Lib- ertad, in the harbor at Vera Cruz, mutinied and seized the steamer while the command- er was on shore. Simultaneously some of the officers of the Vera Cruz garcison at- tempted to raise a revolt at the iostigation of some discontented persons. Nine of the rebels were killed. The steamer Libertad went to sea. The war steamer Independen- cis and other steamers had gone in pursuit and she will Quoubtless be overtaken. Ac- counts of events in Vera Cruz are very con- flicting. The government has apparently mastered thé situation, but since the revolt of the garrison a reign of terror has pre- vailed there. All the Vera Cruz merchants are hostile to the government in conse- quence of the’ passage of the law against contraband trade, and they have ever since been in a state of guasi revolt. It is gener- ally believed that the nine revolters who were killed were assassinated in the guard house on the pretext that they had attempt- ed to escape. -— --— ~<a - -——_ -—- Jerr Davis NoT A CANDIDATE FOR: SEN- ATOR.— Panola, Miss., July 1.—-A short time ago the Memphis Avalunche contained a paragraph stating that the name of Jeffer- son Davis would be presented to the Mis- sissippi Legislature as a candidate for the United States Senate.

Mr. Boyd, of Franklin, and! times think that, in this respect at least, ‘Rey. J. Ruwple, of Salisbury. ‘The speeeh- | enough of a good thing is enough.—Par- 'don me for digressing here, and suggest- jing that health is best preserved by a istrict observance of temperance in all | things ; by the enjoyment of pare air, | personal and domiciliary cleanliness, i wholesome food aud drink, moderate and ‘regular exercise, refreshing and timely ‘hours of sleep, aud a cheerful state of | mind. | While the sea of life, over here, seems | to be unruffled by storms of special mag- 'nitude, there are, nevertheless, upon its | bosom certain waves that way deserve a j transient notice. These waves may be |termed peculiarities of society. One, Which is somewhat prominent, is, that |our people do not, as a general rule, de- sire education, nor are they willing to make much sacrifice to obtain it. An- lother is, that they are satisfied with | worse public roads, fewer public bridges, 'and less internal improvement generally, i than perhaps a majority of the people of most sectious of North Carolina. They jure, iudividually, fair specimens either of Thyatira to delevates nod strangers was the Cauecassian biped, or African.

Dogs seem to have lost much: of . their pristine docility and sagacity. They will almost invariably bite’straugers, unless chained, kuovked down, or kalled..<¥ few of them nowadays wi:l give much heed to the simple biddiugs of their keep- ers, and many of them» wilh bite © their keepers themselves, ou coming, in after nightfall.—it does appear, therefore, that an “evil spirit” (epidemic mental insan- ity) is sometimes permitted to cuter into whole nations of men, horses, dogs, &c., there to abide for a gréat While, or until ties, to theiy atter ruin. So numerous are instanees of acute mental ivsavity, that magistrates, cou- stables, and plrysicians, have, every where over the country, become perfeetly acquainted with the legal proceedings necessary to send a fellow-being tothe Lu- vatic Asylum, an institution which, though large, commodioas, and well man- aged, is, by uo means adequate to the aeconmodation of half the Invatics in our State. In'view of the great and con- stautly increasing number of cases of mental insanity, it is all-important that every cause, mental or physical, of in- paired health, either of body or mind, should be ferreted out, and remedied, if possible. The body and mind are close the one generally affects the otlier ; hence every person should-endeavor to under- stand the rudiments, at least, of mental and physical hygiene. Sanitary commissions would do well to look, not only after the great causes of the visitations from abroad, of cholera, yel- low fever, &c., but also to search out, and investigate various other causes of mental and physical disease, which are engendered and fostered in our midst. The excessive use of tobacco, alcohol, and coffee, is pregnant with the seeds of disease, especially of the organs of diges- tion and inuervation ; hence these who use them, even in moderate excess, are tremulous, sallow, and debilitated, with confusion of mind, shortness of memory, and giddiness of head; while those who use them in greater excess, are often mere wobnuments of the total shipwreck of mental and physical worth. Colleges, and all other seminaries, should take special care to inculcate the importance of mental discipline,—in oth- er words, of tuning the mind, and keep- ing itin tune.’ Although itis immaterial, it is, nevertheless, capable of being moulded or bent, so to speak, in various ways, according to the habits or customs of its possessor; hence it should be di- rected, and continually kept, in proper channels, avoiding extravagance and over excitement, on the one hand, and lethargic idleness on the other. The present geveration of young gen- tlemen and ladies sleep too little ; and many of middle age deny themselves the amount of “nature’s sweet restorer” nee- essary to their healthful existence. Par- ents, grardians, and teachers, shonld strictly sec that those under’ their enrre sleep, at least, eight hours. in_ twenty- four.—In conclusion, the, writer begs leave to intimate that the present age is too fast; that every thing that is done is done too fast, and under too mach ex- citeent ; that when one job is done, an- other is began too soon, and withent sufficient repose on the partof the jobbers and that people, every wherein America, live tou fast aud die too fast, and prema- turely. He farther Legs leave to suggest the remedy, which is, simply, temperance in all things. Most respectfully snbmitted by IcHTHYOPHAGOS. a a = For the Watchman. State Normal School. Mr. Epiror:—Your correspondent ar- rived here on 2st ult., on his way to his home in Rowan. The Normal School was then in session, superintended: by Prof. J.J. Ladd of Va. Rowan hasa small repre- septation this year, Jast as she has always had in the Normal School. It is exceed- ingly strange that those professing to teach, are not more coucerned about self- preparation. Normal Schools are not ex - pected to make scholars of dwarfs, but ithey are expected to make teachers of of them as one of the uldest and most re- ‘most of them, however, are sufficiently | schools. There are a great many good urches in the State. For the Watchman. A Ramble. On the morning of the 9th of June we spectable ch picnics &c. &c. Our first trip was to ‘Trivity College, where we inet school and class mates, aud many other friends. The commencement this year was a brilliant success. ‘The absence of Bishop Pierce created a vacancy in the exercises, admirably Sled by Dr. Burkbead. The crowd on Wedne: day was not as lurge as usual op that day. On Thursday, though the weather was unfavorable, it was im- mensely large. ‘Phe exercises were both profitable and interesting. On Friday the 14th, we gathered up our valise and put for Concord N.C. Having spent a week there attending S. 8. Pic-nics, &c., we left to attend the clos ing exercises of Rev. J. E. Thompson’s sehool at Catawba Station, which took place on the 27th inst. The exercises quring the day consisted of speeches by the boys and essays by the girls, which were gitten up in good style. At night Bro. Thompson spoke an hour upon the subjeet, “A Ramble among the Nations,” which seenied more like a missionary ser- mon thay a rambling speech. All were highly edified by it. . Catawba Station is a village of about one hundred: inhabitants. It has two handsome brick chureles, a ‘‘Methodist” aud a “Baptist.” One of the most strik- ing features about it is, five men that weigh 1351 Ibs. The largest weighing 350. Mr. William Trott, a former resi- dent of Rowan, is classed among those large men. Being somewhat. iu. delicate. health he only weighs ‘270 tbs.

Almost jall are intemperate in one way or apoth- ler: some eat too mich, aud some too little, some too often, and of unwholsome food, aud others too seldom. Some work too hard, and sleep tuo little, while oth- ers take too little exercise, and sleep too much. Many use tobacco. excessively, aud show unmistakably, be their curved spines, sillow aspects, treniulous limbs, and shortness of breath, that they are subjects of great debiliry, and victims of their own intemperance. Our people are a very religious people, and many of them sustain characters as such, of truly pious and upright citizens ; but many others are extremely religious, renewing their stocks anbually, by new professions of repentance, faith, aud for- giveness, but sustaining characters for dishonesty, so that they can not obtain goods, uu a credit, to the value of five cents. . The nataral mental capacities of our people would, it is believed, compare fa- vorably with those of the people of other sections of our State. ‘There are here, as elsewhere throughout our whole nation, more evidences of fitness, on the part of all classes of citizens, for admission into the Lunatic Asylum, than éver were wit- nessed in ante-bellam times. These ev- idences of nental insanity are conspicu- ous in every class of society, and art of every conceivable degree, from the blight- est aberrations. down to pitiful and ariveling idiocy. They have beeu partic- ularly aud continually conspicuous in every department of our government, since the arrangement of the prelimina- ries of the secession of the State of Soath Carolina, about nineteen years) ago ; aod their cause was the.great.prime cause of our late disastrous civil war, with all its ‘dire consequences. . ‘The writer believes that a great epi- demic of mental taganttg is now Pp lent thi it our wh it has existed about nineteen yeara ; that, | like other great epidemic visit=tions of | F.8.8. disease, its cunse is little und .tood ; reva= country ; that) bo ‘scholars who are surry teachers: because | they do uot study the subject of teach- ing.

Respectfully, CLEMENT. Tho Athanty Cotton Mitta. | (): The first cotton mill » built at Atlanta, Georgia, was put iu operation on Tuesday | of last week. It was ‘wiade’ fi¢logtasion for a celébration of the event;Yov. Col- quitt and the mayorof@tianta and many citizens participating in the proceedings. : The mill, wlity opebing has-been the | chuse of so much rejoicing in that city, is fitted with, the . best. machinery. that , Northern mechanics conld turn out, and has been built and equipped to manufac- ture ‘standard brown. 8,” inclndipg sheetings. shirtings a forall grades being the same, the ‘difter- ence in the gaods being produced by the ‘loom. It is capable of consuming 19,090 bales of cotton annually, and its atuual { promuesien of manufactnred “goods when | n fair operation, is. pnt at 23,400,000 yards. The machinery put in practical ; Operation on Tuesday will mauafacture ; about two-fifths of the quantity mention- jed, and will give. employment 4o. four hendred and ‘twenty persons. Inv plain cottons, the Southern millsalveady estab- lished have done well. The Georgia mills,especially thoseon the Chattal.oochee river, have been very prosperoi:s for years and even during the lastfive vears, while the New England mills have been losing money from the shrinkage in values, made large profits. The same may be said ofmillsatGrantsville, on the Augusta and South Carolina railroad, fitteen miles from the former city and five miles from Aiken. Indeed there bas been no in- stance where cotton mills at the South; under good management, have failed to pay large dividends to their stockhold- ers. For some kind of cotton govds the South is not only beginning to supply ; her own people, bat is pushing worth- | ward to compete with New England in | her own market, and has made. some ex- perimental exports to. Europe. .. The goods of the Mississippi- Wesson mills are in demand in New York and Boston, and they bore off hovors at the Paris exhibi- tion of 1878, The South, can mannfac- ture certain kinds of goods more cheaply than the North... The reason isnot ‘far to seek. New Bagiand has to carry her raw material to her mills,. fifteen bun- dred. miles distant. The. South “sets her mills-io the midst. of her cotton’ fields, and thus savea the differeuce between the cost of transporting the raw material whet manufactured. She saves also the charges in “commissions. to factors and middiemen;..while -her.. mill. -operatives in that.climate can work for lower wages, because the cost: of living is lower; and there is further gain tothe Southern mill owners in the fact that their opera- tives work a greater number of hours tid than they do in New Enge- land. In this connection it is interesting to note that the. Augusta (Ga.) cotton fac- tory tor the fiscal year ended 14th of June lust paid a dividend of 8 per cent. on its capital stock, after payibg for repairs, taxes, ete. Its gross earnings for the year atmounted to $112,111, aud the. company has now placed to. its profit aud loss ac- count $267,157. The bonded debt of the company was also reduced $18,000 daring the year. During that tine 11,946 bales or 5,447,403 pounds of cotten were con- sumed, which produced 14,769,782 yards of goods. ‘The8average number of hands employed was 0¥9, whose wages during the year aggregated $155,920. The sales during the year aggregated $832,006.- Baltimore Sun. rr UNSUBSTANTIAL REAL EstaTE.—We are informed that a gentlemau residing in Wakulia county by the name of Cox, who is cultivating a small farm, upon arising one morning last. week was surprised to find that during the night his residence had been changed from a region’ where water could not be seen to the borber of a lake. When he retired the evening before, his house was far away from any pond, lake or river, but upon going out bext morning, instead of his garden, an immeuse siuk 50 or 60 yards square, fill- ed with water, running ap within 18 or 20 feet of his residence, met hia gaze. During the night this transformation oc- curred, leaving not even a vestige of the talles¢ pine trees, which were standing in their fall agente ‘only 12 hours be- fore. .

At the end of three minutes the bow! was empty and the waiter again sum- moned. ‘More soup.’ It was brought. ‘Anything more? ‘No. Tears gathered in the eyes of the gloamy man, but he brushed them away with his napkin, and plunged his spoon again into the steaming soup. The elbow crooked andstraght- ened with the reglarity of 4 heart- beat, and presently the waiter was peckoned once more. Hestepped np with visible irritation, but catching an admonishing Jook from the stew- ard, bent forward with suavity. ‘More soup,’ said the man with a plaintive voice brimming over with emotion, ‘Anything else ?” ‘No.’ ‘Han’t I better briug in the ket- tle this trip,’ said the waiter, ‘You might,’ said the man, witha sigh that jarred the table. ‘I’ve got heaps of trouble to drown.’ ‘We've got a gruel that will do more with less bulk,’ said the waiter. ‘It might bit the right spot sooner.” ‘T’ve never found no halm fora wounded spirit that could walk around soup-~’specially if it’s hot and tolerably high-seasoned, I don’t know whether it comes of being hot and fetching on the sweat or not, but it reaches for trouble every time, and gets away with a heartache quicker’n anything I ever tried; so you may keep on with it J guess, till my mind gets easy enough to tackle corn beef and cabbage.’ The waiter was softened by the humble grief before him, and much regretted his thoughless chaffing.

Remarkable Cure of Scrofula, &e. CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON. KINGSTON, Ga., September 15, 1871. GENTS :—For sixteen years [ have been a great suf- fever froin Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I ave been confined to my room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. ‘the most ap- proved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. ‘thus peed, distressed, de- sponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd Cour- ty, Ga., to commence the use of your Compound Ex- tract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de- scribe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stil- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate idea of the in- tensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of Stuillingia, until I can say truly, ‘‘I am cured of all pain,” of all dis- eases, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any 1e- turn of the disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are ac- uainted with me. eepest gratitude, Ishall ever remain, with the Your obedient servant, J.C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law. A MIRACLE. ‘ WEsT POINT, GA., Sept. 16, 1870. GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelli.g. After having been conilned about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with jis effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was contined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and-ews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. TI attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluabie medicine.

People are getting acquainted—and those who are not ought to ho—with the wonderful merits of that great American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri- ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil dren. Its fame has been spreading for 85 years, until now it encircles the habitable globe. The Mexican Mustang Liniment is a matchless remedy forall cxterns] ailments of man and beast. To stock owncrs end farmers it is invaluable. A single bottle often saves a human life or re. stores tho usefulness of an excellent horse, ox cow, or sheep. It cures foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub, screw-worm, shoulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It cures every externcl troubsec of horses, such as lamcness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bono, ctc., etc. : The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for accidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., and for rheuma- tism, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Miners. It is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it. penetrates the muscle to the bone, and a single plication is generally sufficient to cure. Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three .'zes of bottles, the larger ones being proportion- 3 -ely much the cheapest. Sold everywhere.

For directions for building fish ponds, see my communication in the Watehman of May 15th, 1879. W. R. FRALey. For the Watchman. Denton, Texas, July 4th, 1879. Mr. Editor: I break upon you after a silence of more than six months, very un- expectedly [ know, but credit my werds that my thoughts expatiate nowhere of- tener or with Salisbury and its inhgbitants. changes since my last, is that where all was naked and barren, now is clothed in a beautiful green—a change much more tothe mind. Itry to grow every day more attached to my present home, and endeavor to discover new beauties and | attractions, and even attempt to mould comeliness out of deformities. Yet Iam | often forced to exclaim, ‘Happy they that can create honeysuckle, and there twine and center their hsppiness.” But fortunately or un- | fortunately for me, I neither claim for my God the honeysuckle nor the rose. And yet I kuow pone admire more the green valley, or think the perfume more | delightful than the air that is’ redolent with flowers. Yet with all the beautiful surroundings that nature cz art can give, a void can still exist. And that anxious’ longing will detract much from one’s happiness; and I don’t think there is anything so conducive to earthly bappi- | ness as to be surrounded by those who! will receive, appreciate and reciprocate our love and triendship. Denton could | with numerous and multiplied additions | be made a very delightful place. One} great acquisition lately made is the serv- ices of Rev. Mr. Burwell, of the O. S. Presbyterian. His time is equally given | to the church here and one in the conn- try. His style is neat, explicit, and de- cidedly pleasing to all, notwithstanding there are some who are very puritanical in their notions and ideas of faith and re- ligion. And if you chance to vary from their limited standpoint, they at once doubt your religion, and regard you as an advocate of sin. Another feature that would contribute much to the interest of | Denton, is the railroad. And I do be- | lieve there are some beside myself who To see the pleasant, | [am sure; and the shrill piping sound of | the engine would be soft and harmonious as the swells of Holian harp. The hopes that have been entertained for the past {38 months are not ill-grounded, and tho’ one disappointment has followed another, despair appears not. But just at this time hope whispers of better things; and from this piazza they view the ways and means clear, and the verdict given is that at or before the expiration of 4 months | the cars will be running here. With feelings akin to Mrs. Cross’ I hope; “for who would not rather contemplate the jeweled morning than a night of gather- ing clouds and disappointment.” Recently we were favored with three moonlight serenades ; one was the string band, the other two vocal. The last was on ove of those moonlight nights which are so grand and brilliant here—owing, I suppose to the absence of trees. Music is never so enchanting as during the still hours of night, when tired nature has succumbed to sweet sleep, the sweet restorer of many ills. When first arous- ed I thought the melody that of angels’ voices, or the chantings of some spirits wandering from Eden’s borders astray. So soft and sweet were the words of “‘Grandfather’s Clock,” gently reminding us by its “‘tick, tick” of the short span of life. This was succeeded by the beauti- ful quartette, ‘‘Come where my Love Lies Dreaming,” with an accompaniment on the guitar. After this they sang the sweet old familiar air, “Swannanoa,” and so sweetly did they sing that it stole my heart away, and I did long for the “Dear Old Folks at Home.” And lastly, in sweeter song than all beside, the Kind nightly visitants bid adieu to the silent listeners in tender, melting strains of “Home, Sweet Home”—so pecaiiarly touching that ere long, unintegtionally and unconsciously, one of the enchanted listeners was in a flood of tears, feeling within that “Be it ever so humble there is no place like home.” Recent rains have brightened the far- | | sane to lean against the sides, by the 6 mers’ prospects much, and the wheat more pleasure than to | The only pleasing to the eye and far more pleasant , Stablage per night, One $ ‘a good bed, Six. pence. a rose tree or erect 2 Rum per quart, four Shillings, and so in | proportion ‘loaf sugar, Oue Shilling and eight pence. | A quart ot Grog, made. ot good rum, One | Shilling and four pence, and 80 in propore _ two shillings and Apple Brandy per quart, , two shilings and eight pence, and so in | quantity. | are too many sigus that the fever | can Keep it alive, ;onacertain day and give them farms | when they got there. , to be seen.— Philadelphia Times.

Stories of the land of milk and honey that exists in Kansas are ge ets mee. Since the death of Baron Riond De Rothschild, the at the: don “house, niany ofthe Euroy uewspapers have been speculating on the amount of capital, profits, and general business relations of the great financial family. Nobody: outside of its members and their confidential employes has, we suppose, any actual knowledge of their affairs, although many persons claimed to be informed as to their resources and operations: A writer ‘in a Paris jonrnal claims to be ina position to know. that the present capital of the different Roth- schild houses is at least $500,000,000, and that they can control as much more, which may be considered a pretty penny. Stories of the Roth- schilds will always be told, as they will be about any and everybody thought to be enormogsly rich. Af- ter the interest a man has in his own money, he seems to be much interested in some other man’s ‘mouey. More idle tales are told ofthe celebrated Jewish bankers, (they, by the by, call themselves merchants, which they really are,) than of any other bankers probably because they are the wealth- iest of their class. One of these tales is that the Rothschilds almost never lose anything, which is absurb on its face, considering the prodigious ex- tent of their operations. They lose a good deal, of necessity, because they make a great deal; bnt their profits are doubtless always in advance of their losses. There seems to be an- thority for thé’statement, often made, that their losses from depreciation in the funds and securities which fullow- ed the disturbances brought about in various European capitals by the French revolution of 1848 reached some $40,000,000. They afterward made up the loss, it is asserted, which they would be very likely to do. A great advantagesaeh hoses have is in If they have it has cost them dearly, they can usually re- pair their mistake by getting on the other side of the market. The inter- ests of the Rothschilds are well-nigh universal, and their secrecy, save in open transactions, is invariably pro- found. Nathan Rothschild is reputed to have said: “One great reason of our success is that we know how to hold our tongues.” ‘They are as re- their colossal capital. been led into a mistake, and diligently circulated, and the poor dar- kies are deceived in the most heartless | fashion.

Woodbridge, physician at Fort Peck agency, gives a minute description of the sun dance as given by the Sioux, near Pop- lar river, Montana Territory, a fortnight ago. About five thousand Indians were present, and the performace was kept up 26 conseccutive hours, during which the In- dians feasted on 40 dogs, large quantities of buffalo meat, and in ‘fact, “all the delica- cies of the season,” while the participants in the dance subjected themselves to the inost horrible varieties of torture, such as having buffalo heads suspended from slits cut in their flesh, the weight of which con- stantly increased the laceration. Some of the braves fainted under the torture and many had from 50 to 200 pieces cut out of living flesh. Others again were held to stakes, about which they were forced to dance, by cords fastened to their backs. The performance lasted all night and was varied by occasional prayers to the Great Spirit, said with their faces on the buffalo robes, for success at the chase. The dance took place i in a sort of a theatre or arena 15@ feet in diameter, and enclosed by pop- lar and willow branches. ~~ THEIMPROVED CONDITION OF MEMPHIS. -—The Memphis Appeal invites every body to visit that city, and declares that there is no more cause for fear of yellow fever than thereis in Quebec. ‘Indeed, says the Appeal, ‘Memphis never wasas healthy as now, never was so free of disease, never was so clean, and her people were never before so intent on reaching and main- taining the bighest conditions of sanita- tion.” ee THE Swepson Case.—The decision of the Sapreme Court and the case is ad- Observ er.

The recollec- tion that the founder of the house, Meyer Anselm, (he took the name Rothschild from the sign of a red shield placed over his small shop in Frankfort), entered Hanover in 17638, barefoot with a bundle of rags on his back, is enough to prevent any poor devil from despair. But itis not every man who has the brain of Meyer Anselm. — —_ —___«-@ The Last Arrow. During theexpedition of the French against the confederate five nations in New York, the following incident occurred: Kiodago, a Mohawk chief, had for his wife a beautiful half- breed girl, whose father was said to be no lessa personage than the governor general of New France, the veteran Count de Fontenac. <A small force of French musketeers and pikemen surprised the summer camp of Ki- odago’s band at what is now called Trenton Falls, just before daylight, when, not dreaming ofan attack, they were wrapped in slumber. Hand | grenades set their lodges on fire, and a murderous assault was made upon the half-awakened natives. Some perish- ed in the flames ; some were cut down in the combat, and others still, among whom was Kiodago and_ his wife, | escaped to the hills. A small party The owner of the spectral beast tried to frown, but a roar from the balcony ed a dozen of eggs the country was among the farm- ers’ wagons at the market, sight of a small bundle of grass in one of the vehicles, at once arous- ed all the sentiment in her nature.

Soon, how- ever, voices were heard, and looking tec they discovered a party of three led by a renegade seont, pressing for- ward in the direction of ‘their rocky fastness. The’ chief grasped his re- maining arrow with his bleeding fing- ers, and aimed it at the leading one of the pursuing party. It struck the steel curiass of the officer and glanced off harmlessly, but transfixed the heart of the scout, who, in his dyiug fall, grasped the sword chain of the guevallen and the two went rolling down the glen together. The third man abandoned the pursuit. Ki- odago and his beautiful wife escaped, and many of their descendants are stil] living to tell the tale of THE Last ARRow. ee Rather Thin. A ludicious incident occurred, one season, at “Woodlawn,” on the Bloom- ingdale road. Jone’s hotel, of that place, is ornamented with a hostler whose fun is as fearless as his face is ugly. One day in July, while twen- ty or thirty fast gentlemen were standing in the front balcony ofthe hotel, an individual rode up the path on the thinnest horse mortal eyes ever looked upon. Leaping from his phantom steed, the equestrian said turning to the hostler : ere John, give my horse some water.’ ‘Sir !’ said John, with a look of as- tonishment. ‘Give my horse some water!’ thun- dered the stranger. ‘Yourhorse /” ejaculated John, still more surprised. ‘Yes, you fool: my horse!’ and the stranger looked savagely at him, and commenced drawing the lash of his whip through his hand. John walked toward him as though he would demand an explanation, and had taken about six steps, when he suddenly stopped as one surprised beyond expression : ‘Bless my soul! says he, ‘I ax your pardon, sir; but your hanimal was a standin’ ona line with that’ere hitching post, and I didn’t see him.’ made him change his mind. ++ He AGREED.—A lady who want- fresh from and the ‘The couvtry must be beautiful ‘Yes, soshe is,’ slowly replied, a dead horse ‘These sunrises must be beautiful At sunrise this ‘Yes, they are.

A strange bird which lives in Chi- na, called the fork-tailed parus, is quite an accrobat. He is about as big as a robin, and he has a red beak, orange colored © throat, green back, yellow legs, “black tail and red-and- yellow wings. Nearly all the colors ‘are in his dress, you see, and he is a gay fellow. But this bird has a trick known by no other birds that ever I heard of. He turns somersalts! Not only does he do this in free life on the trees, but also after he is caught and put into a cage. THe just. throws his head far back, and over he goes, touching the bars ef the cage, and alighting upon his feet on the floor or on the perch. He will do it over and over a number of times without stop- ing, as though he thought it great fun. All his family have the same trick, and they are called tumblers. The people of China are fond of keep- ing them in cages and seeing them tumble. Travelers often have tried to bring them to our country, but a sea voyage is not good for them and they are almost sure to die on the way. ae A Strange Wacer.—G. Hussey, of San Francisco, argued that he could stand any amount of repetition; it was with him only a question of wages, The contestant, to prove his theory, offered hiny $2.60 a day for a year to carry a brick from his store on Clay street, to a store over the way and back, ten hours a day, Sundays excepted. Hussey faced the monoto- ny gayly, and ateve chuckled over the $2.50 received. The second day was all right, only a yawn now and then and an increase of tobacco squirts, till the fifth day, he petered out and ‘Never in my life did Ido work so exhausting. I’d rather starve than go on another day,’ said the disgusted individual. age If we would have powerful minds we must think; If we would have faithful hearts, we must love; If we would haye strong muscles, we must labor. These include all that is valuable in life. If-you have talents, industry will improve them ; if you have moderate abilitics, industry will sopply the de- ficiencies.

I differ also with ‘‘Nemo” in re- gard to its uearnesa and eligibility. Itis the depredations of roaming herds which keep down the grass, weeds, and yyder- growth which wogld, by nature's process, enrich their Iands. In thig way alone land gwnhers are constantly suffering a heavy loss on ‘unnsed lands every year. Thes are paying taxes for which they receive pg benefits, whereas if their open lands were protected from the depreda- tions of roaming stock they would be constantly improving by the slow but snre processes of nature. But we do not design to enumerate the advantages of the proposed law. It would be nseleas work.

WILLIAM ALLEN. - The Story of an Eventfal Life. Mr. Allen was self-made, of more than ordinary ability, and as a public man for many years occupied a couspicadus posi- tiun. He was born at Edenton, Chowan county, N. C.,in 1806, early. lost. his parents, and then drifted to Lynchburg, Va., where he remained until 1822, work- ing as a Saddler’s apprentice, when he determined to go to Chilicothe, Ohio, where his half-sister, the mother. of the Hon. Allen G Thurman, resided: “Young Allen was poorly educated, but self-re- liant, and he made almost the entire trip on foot, iu mid-winter, through frequent suows and intensely cold weather, having asa companion a drover, and this for only a portion of the distance. On ar- riving at Chilicothe his sister placed him in the academy there, where he re- mained two years, and then, at eighteen years of age, cntered a lawyer's office. He was admitted to practice before he was twenty-one years of age, and be- fore reacbing the age of twenty-four had achieved considerable reputation as a lawyer, particularly iv crimival cases. In 1233 he received the Democratic nomina- tion for Congress in a district which was Whig by from 1,500 to 2,000 majority, but he wade a brilliant ‘canvass and was elected by ove majority im a vote of 10,- 000. At the next election Mr. Allen was defeated by a small majority, but ran 1,- 500 votes ahead of his ticket. In 1837, when only thirty-one years of age, he was took his seat March 4, where le became a leader. Just before. the expiration of his term he went directly before the peo- Stalwart you must risé eafly; work late and keep both eyes open.

The Baltimore Sun's correspoudent writes ou the 10th, inst. : Soe “They say they expect no resignations. of marshals and no curtailing in” their appointment of. deputies. The: emolu- ments of marshals aud_ their deputies come almost wholly from an apportion- ment of the fees collected,.and as a very long time is given for the payment into the treasury of said fees, it is anticipated that marshals will take advantage of the liberal limit allowed and make no con- siderable return of the moneys collected until Congress, at the next session, shall have provided for their compensation.” The Democrats did not purpose in any way to impair the “legitimate business of the United States marshals,” as, Senator Beck says; but neither did they intend to allow the abuse, as has been the ease in the past. But, necording to the above, there will be no “curtailment in the ap- pointment of deputies.

Mr. Devereux had given out that he was going on a visit to Halifax, but this blind proved of no avail, for his object was thoroughly understood ind Little- field was telegraphed to, and it is reported that he will receive the North Carolina ambassador with a band of niusie and a torchlight procession.

Memphis, July 10.—The board of health this morning issued the fol- lowing order: | “To the People of the City of Memphis : “We would say quietly, remove your families to a place of safety un- til we can at least see whether a few cases of yellow fever will assume an epidemic form. ‘Fo the people along travel we say, there can be no possi- looking yellow and sickly, but came, to maturity and produced 109 grains | of poor, shriveled wheat.

The. result of this union was almost magi- \. cal; the plants sprung up with great,” vigor, strong and healthy, producing | from 22 seeds 423 grains of full good | wheat. As the sandin which the seedy were planted and the water in| which they were watered contained | no fertilizing property, this grand re- sult mysthave been caused by the | minerals and ammonia alone. Yet great as this result was, 5 per cent only of the plants was produced by the minerals and 1.60 per cent. by the ammonia; thereby showing that 23.40 per cent of the plants was pro- duced by the air. SOMETHING IN THE Winv.—We published two weeks ago something in relation to an organized plan to burn gnd pillage by the negroes. It. appears from what we then published that letters had been written by negro men from Hampton, Russell’ Place, 8. C., and Liberty Hill, S. C., sign- ing themselves as President and Secretary, to a brother of the organi- zation at Matthew’s Station in Meck- lenburg county, N.C. We gave not | theleast credit to these rumors, be- lieving them to be false, and merely published them that our readers in those sections mentioned above might read them. But, if what we now hear-is true, there is more truth than poetry in what was then published. We have been informed from a very respectable source, that the negroes are holding secret meetings, nightly, in several sections of the country, and it is the general impression in those neighborhoods where fhe meetings are held that evil is intended. We do not give this publicity to alarm our Citlzens, but merely to place them on their guard.—Lancaster (S.

March 7, 1878 20:1ly YELLOW FEVER--BLACK VOMIT. It is too soon to forget the ravages of this terrible disease, which will no doubt return in a more malig- nant and virulent form in the fall months of 1879. MERRELL’S HEPATINE, a Remedy discovered in Southern Nubia and used with such wonderful re- sults in South America where the most aggravated cases of fever are found, causes from one to two ounces of bile to be fil or strained from the blood each time it passes through the Liver, as long a8 an excess of bile exists. By its wonderful action on the Liver and stomach the HEPATINE not only revents to a certainty any kind of Fever and Black Jomit, but also cures Headache, Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia and all Malarial diseases. No one need fear Yellow Fever who will expel the Malarial Poison and excess of bile from the blood by using MERRELL’S HEPATINH, which ts sold by all Druggists in 25 cent and $1.00 bottles, or will be sent by express by the Proprietors, A.

GENTS :—For sixteen years {| have been a great suf- ferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. 1 have been confined ,o my room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulods ulcerations. The most ap- proved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. ‘bhus presented distressed, de- sponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, ot Floyd Cour- ty, Ga., to commencethe use of your Compound Ex- tract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de- scribe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stil- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate idea of the in- tensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufiicient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Exact of Stillingia, until I can say truly, ‘‘I ain cured of all pain,” of all dis- eases, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any 1e- turn of the disease.

GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder jotnt came out. Many pieces of bone came out of | tae right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounsed one of White Swelling. After having been contined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stiilingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up ail day, and -ews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I belleve she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluabie medicine.

People are getting acquainted—and those who are not ought to be—with the wonderful merits of that great American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST, This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri- ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil dren. Its fame has been spreading for 85 years, until now it encircles the habitable globe. The diexican Mustang Liniment is a matchless reinedy forallexternal ailments of man and beast. To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable. A single bottle often saves a human life or re- stores the usefulness of an excellent horse, ox cow, or sheep. It cures foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub. screw-worm, shoulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It cures every external trouble of horses, such as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bone, ctc., etc. a The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for accidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as If it is not as represented 2member this offer is at ths ver: warranted others, it is ve at cost. an astandin the entire world.

To take pleasure in witnessing suf- fering in avy form is not brutal, using the term with precision, for brutes can aanitest nothing worse than indiffer- ence, it is inhumane, ecrael, barbar- ous, rather than, alas!—inhuman. Civilization, Christianity, brings the refinement that draws out the tender- est sympathies of human nature and represses all that is akin to barbarity. Without these modifying and melior- ating influences man gloats over hu- mau ageny and revels in blood. The delight which savages take in the mu- tilation of their kind, and in the in- fiction of the extremest torture is suf- fivient proof of these assertions. Duty may require the setting aside, or the bearing up against, the gentler emotions of humanity and they can be set aside how easily. Physicians call- ed in the practice cf their profession fering in all its forms, ac- to see su quire the stoicism which can regard such sights unmoved ; with them it is repression, and not loss of sympathy, and necessary to success in their deeds of mercy, Soldiers at first il from the sights and sounds of the battle- field, but soon learn to sleep among the dead and dying, or rush on to fresh carnage oblivious to all feelings of pity ; with them duty requires the sacrifice, or rather the abeyance for the time, of the more delieate affee- tions ofthe son]. Relfeved-ef_thie ne- cessity which requires this insensibil- ity to human distress, nong are” tore prompt tha these tow-share the griefs of those who writhe under the load of sorrow and pain. But when no all-mastering call of duty demands it, he who brings him- self'to witness suffering first regards it with indifferance, then takes pleas- ure in the sight, and soon finds delight 10 its infliction. ‘Lhe Godlike princi- Ple that inflicts no pain wantonly, nor Tegards any distress without pity, is lost to his soul. This history confirms. Robespierre, in discharge of his duty, as member of the Criminal Court of Arras, was called to condemn a pris- oner to death. He resigned his office in consequence and advocated the ab- Olition of capital punishment. In less than ten years, by a gradual process of soul-hardening from witnessing in- humanity, and participating in it, he had come todemand from the Asserr.y bly of France the establishment of that ftiminal court which speedily became the terrible revolutionary tribiinal, He led the Jacobins in the condemnas. JR, & CO had proposed the committee of public [safety with’ powers above the Conven- I \ | eer oo ne » of the Kibgi andl $u'b few dionths tion, instituted the reign of terror, and sacraficed the Girondists, saying, Mm “There are periods in revolutions § when to live is a crime.” ly he destroyed Hebert, Danton, and Successful- other wretches only Jess savage than himself, became leader of the bloody teiumvirate and master of France, that France in which “terror was the irrevocable order of the day.” Such was Robespierre, originally, and rot insincerely the friend of humanity. Of like instauces there are many; Ba- rere and Couthon are notable. Cou- thon, a member of the Convention, was always foremost at the beck of Robespierre to move for blood, and became a very champion of terror. As commissioner of Lyons, when the guillotine had.dulled from unceasing work, and the hand of single murder was all too slow, he with his associ- ates ordered grapeshot to hew down hundreds at a time. And this was Couthon, in his early manhvod noted | for amiability of disposition and de- | voting himself to deeds of charity. | Extreme illustrations truly, but, just; and accurate in following the steady and rapid course of demorali- zation from unnecessary familiarity | with human woe. | Shall the lessons of history and of experience be lost upon us? Within | a few months past in North Carolina | many criminals have paid the extreme | penalty of their crimes on the scaffold, The law of the State provides that ex- | ecutions of victims of the law by hang- | ing shall be private, unless the prop- | er officers of the county in which such | executions are to take place shall de- | cide to allow the public to witness them. executions have been public. The ef- | fect is in the highest degree demoral- | izing. Those who attend to behold | the terrible spectacle of a human be- | ing launched into eternity, (those ex- cepted, always, who are called thith- er by duty) are of all persons those whose brutal propensities ueed to be | curbed, not stimulated. No man— | shall we say no woman—can witness | such a scene from a mere instinct of | So far as has been noted these | | | | | | | | | curiosity and not be the loser in the flner impulses of his being. Does it tend to deter from crime? No one thoughtfully regarding the subject can believe it. It gratifies that same instinct which crowds the Spanish amphitheatre, to witness the agonies of the maddened beast as he rushes on to his death, or that raises the shout of exultation when the mat-} adore is borne Jifeless from the arena. And this in a Christian land! Does it magnify the law? With open ears the assembled throng listen to the wretched guilt, his profession of conversion, his assuranee of a blested immortality ; with eager eyes they take in each hor- rible detail of the occasion, witness his dying agony and then depart— with what impression? The courage- ous manner in which he meets his fate constitutes him a hero; the denial of | guilt on the threshold of eternity makes | | victim’s denial of him, to them, a slaughtered innocent; | a criminal, not he, but a saint of glo- ry. The crime is lost sight of in con- neetion with the penalty, The glam- our of courage and of piety is be- witchingly mixed in the depraved imagination with the dying throes and the lifeless form. It has in a tenfold degree the evil influence which the reading of tales of desperadves and assassins has upon weak minds.

Like a single gem. of the crystal dew, A drop of the rainy showers, A gleam from a star in the ether blue, A bud in a world of flowers. Like a leaf from one of the numberless trees, A flake in a drift of snow, A ripple in all of the rippling seas, A blade where the grass fields grow. Like asingle ray from the pale sad moon To hghten the gloom of night ; Or a golden beam from the sun at noon— Or the song of a bird in flight. Like a fleeting grain of-the desert sand, A flash of the ocean spray, A simple shel! on the lonely strand, A rainbow fading away: Such, such is life and though lowly, these Have each their mission and part,— The dew and the rain,the flo’ers and the trees, The ocean—tbe human heart. And like all of these in life’s surging throng, There’s a simple place for me,—— A note or a chord in dear nature's song, To swell her great harmony. SIC ITUR AD ASTRA. BY CORINNE OAKSMITH, June, 1879. On, the crosses that are carried Which the world can never know— Oh, the hopes by sorrow buried, Where Lethe’s waters flow ! Oh, the idols crushed and broken, Along lite’s thoroughfare— Oh, the burdens all unspoken, Whose ashes moulder there! Oh, the tasks in secret taken For God alone to see— Oh, the patient faith unshaken, Through years of misery ! Oh, the vain endeavors wasted, The sacritices lost— Ye who life’s joy have tasted, Know not the heavy cost! Oh, well for the children of sorrow, As they tread the lonely track, That the shadows of to-morrow, Have never yet come back. We know in the great supernal, God watches us oneand all, And gathers with love eternal, Our treasures as they fall. He garners them in His keeping, However we faint and die, ~ Andtheend ofearth’s sorrow and weeping, Is immortality. MR. OAKSMITH'S ACCOUNT OF THE DISASTER. Ho.Ltrwoop, Carteret Co. N. C., July 8th, 1879. § Dear Friend: Your letter of yesterday is received. You say truly that “only God can give us strength to bear such a calam- ity.” You inclose me a printed report of the disaster and ask if itis correct. My agony is too great to dwell upon the hor- rible scene, but justice to my dead daugh- ters compels me to make the effort, and to say that the report you send is entirely er- roneous. I will state all that it is essential now to know. All the facts are known only to God and myself. I was the only one in the boat who could swim, or who had ever before confronted peril and death. Hence I wag not panic stricken, and had a dreadful realization of all that was going on. All the heroism displayed in the fearful struggle was by my noble daughters Bessie and Corinne, who lost their lives in heart- rending efforts to save their two younger sisters. Whatever I did was my plain simple duty, and God knows I feel that I did it poorly enough. I had the responsi- bility of oll, and hoped to the last to save them all. The saving myself never enterea my mind; my whole thought was to save my children, and I say it with submission, that but for my efforts not one would have been saved. . The accident occurred in this way: I was steering the boat with a yoke, and when half way across between Fort Macon and Beaufort she steered wildly, and I en- trusted the main sheet to my son Randolph, 17 years of age, charging him to keep it clear and watch the sail. When we*got ready tg “jibe” I charged him to “let fly” the: moment the sail passed the wind. He hauled the sajl aft—my daughters “shifted seats” quieyy—the Loom éwung over—the sheet “iung” ér ‘cauglil cause I don’t care Tow J boat yawed and capsized moment.

As sh@ settled in the | water,. from causes now néedless to recount, she rolled! completely @y@r; her mast and sail going under her, whieh told me that the water was over 184 ef deep. As she rolled oycr, the girls waits out of the boat ‘on the starboard side—the tw6 eldest each holding arlittle sister. I went with them, and helped them to get hold of the boat ' again. Randolph still holding Stanly, fell over on the port side, and was rolled under the boat, which, being relieved of our weight, came tothe surface and hung a | moment keel up. Telling Bessie and Co- ! rinne to hold hard on the gunwale, I rolled the boat up by her keel, got Randolph out and up on the side of the boat, greatly ex- hausted, but still holding Stanly; charged him not to let go of him, and to cling to the boat. I then swam round on the other side of the: boat and found that my daughters ' had all lost their hold, got the two eldest | once more back, telling them that I would go for the little ones. I was clinging to the stern to get a breath for my task when | Bessie and Corinne turned round and saw) their little sisters being swept away. They | uttered oneshriek and threw themselves | off and struggled to get to them. At this instant I realized that the boat’s anchor had | gone to the bottom and was holding her. I knew then that unless I could get the Woat clear of her anchor, or assistance svon came, some would be lost. I got two boat gratings and two oars to my daughters, | | who still heeded my voice. I told the lit- | tle ones to cling to the gratings and Bessie and Corinne to put the oars under their | arms and ‘ keep hedes up and arms down.” | Corinne answered cheerfully, “All right, papa,” and called out to the others, ‘Keep | your heads up and arms down, and keep quiet.” I then swam against the current to the bow of the boat, which was six feet under water, held by her cable, and went down and tried in vain to cast it.adrift. Ihad thrown off my coat and vest early in the straggle and had noknife. The weight of my body on the bow, pressed down by the current, bore it further down, and I felt the boat again rolling over. I let go my hold and came to the surface, steadied the boat again, en- couraged my son to hold on to his little | brother and the boat to the last, and look- ing for my daughters, saw them drifting away, but apparently safe. At this mo- ment, while holding on to the boat to reeov- er myself, I saw some canoes or boats in the distance, apparently fishing. I raised my The men appeared to look, but did not come. Could I have got the bout clear from her cable in time, I believe I could have saved my daughters. I wasted much strength in that vain endeavor. Had | I not done so I might possibly have got one of them to the shore, but after they drifted 20 feet by the stern, it was impossible for me to get either back to the boat. It re- quired all my strength to swim to the bow against the current when 7 made my vain effort to set the boat adrift for their rescue. My agony was so great that I could not endure it, and I started to swim to my ' daughter—where we should all doubtless have perished together, which would have ' been better for me were it not for the living when I saw the boat which rescued us com- inground the point of marsh. My reason ‘told me that the chances for saving my | daughters were greater with my help in that boat than out of it, and I waited in ‘agony till she came, and directed the kind | friends who were in her where to search. The rest is all Known. At was all ia, a” Gorer_ I ordered, ren—each take My-duty was’ ‘sister Mildred, line, and Ran- aniy. It was an "= voice for help. We found my daughters all floating ex- cept Bessie, but near where I saw her last was Mildred lying lifeless with her arms across anoar. The truth was very plain to me—the poor child had lost ber hold upon the grating, and Bessie, my noble eldest daughter, had deliberately given up her only aupport, put her drowning young sis- ter across the oar, and died as she had lived, from devotion to those she loved. Corinne had done the same—the grating was gone, but close to the drowning form of her little sister Pauline, was Corinne’s oar, while her body was found some dis- tance away. My eyes alone could read all this as I helped to lift the three inanimate forms into the boat which rescued us. The world has never seen greater devotion than this of my two noble eldest daughters. If our anchor had not gone to the bottom, or the boat which cameto our aid had reached-us ten minutes sooner, all would have been saved. My son Randolph does not know how to swiin ; he never before con- fronted peril, and had he lost his hold on the boat after I last dragged him and his little brother on to her, when I was away from him, he would have doubtless perished. He did his duty, but he wishes no praise to which he is not entitled The crown of he- roism belongs to my beautiful daughters, Bessie and Corinne, who perished to save their little sisters. expecting hourly that poor Bessie’s remains iwhich would give Denmark and ee itll, asT must with agony and sorrow, ..

One day { the gentlemen ‘were chafing him about being so snail, and said’ to hia, “You never will amount to much; you “never smalt.” The little fellow looked at them. “Well,” said he ‘as small as Iam TI can do some- thing which none of you large men can do.” “Ah! what is that 7” said they. “JT don’t know as I ought to tell you,” he replied. But they were anxious to know, and urged him to tell. “I can keep from swearing,” said the little fel- low. There were some blushes on four manly faces, and there seemed to be very little anxiety for further information on the point.— Exchange. If the Sahara is Flooded What ? en oe The only important objection which has thus far been. uged. against the undertaking has arisen in the appre- hensions expressed by a few scien- tists that the evaporation produced by so large and so shallow a body of water, exposed to the - tropical sun, would be sufficient to deluge North- Europe with ineessant rains, and to reduce materially the temperature in all the countries north of the Alps. It has even been feared that the winds freighted with moisture on crossing the cold summits of the Alps, would precipitote vast volumes of water and produce a degree of cold Northern Germany a semi-Arctic cli- inate and produce a glacial epoch farther north. Is. it not probable that all such apprehensions arise out of a misunderstanding as to the topo- graphy of Sahara and North Africa? The entire region to be flooded is practically shut in by piountain-chains on all sides. The Atlas mountains on the north, lifting their snow-clad peaks in some instances 12,000 feet, afford a sufficient bulwark for the protection of Europe from increased humidity. The only possible north- ernly outlet for air currents from El! Juf would be across Tunis in a north- easterly direction over the widest part of the Mediterranean. Currents moving in that direction, if they reach- ed Europe at all, would touch the shores of Greece after they had lost most of their humidity. M. de Les- seps, aftr a careful examination of the question, is convinced that it would result in the general improve- ment of the climate of Europe rather than to its detriment. The advan- tage of the increased evaporation to North Africa cannot be overestima- ted. The snow-clad cliffs of Aban, lying to the east of the proposed sea, and the Kong mountains to the south, would bring down upon the parched desert grateful rains, which, the assistance of cultivation, would in time, no doubt, redeem thousands of square mills from the desolation of the sands.—Scribner. with The great meteor which fell in Em- rmett county, Iowa, on May 10th, is indeed a great curiosity. We notice that a piece of it weighing 500 pounds has been taken to New York and has been thoroughly examined at the Government assay office. The result is thus given. The metalic portion, separated as far as possible from the rocky part, gave 88 5-100 per cent. metalic iron, 11] per cent. nickel, with a trace of co- balt. The rocky part contains erystals of zirenm of small size, and was prin- cipally made ap of that mineral in granular form, mixed with sulphide of iron and nickel, besides carrying silica, allumina, lime aud magnesia. The wholesmakes up a composition not found dnywhere on earth, thoagh its several parts are well known to gevlogists. Zircum, however, 1s a rare mineral, and when found in large, clear crystals is of considerble value. — os | pectors,” who, having left the » beaten Two miners sat down in the erness of Southern Utah a few t since to munch their bread and then pursue..their wanderings and. their séarch.of wealth: They.were “pro wild Fe track’ of treasure-szekers, “wandered off, to the amusement of their fellow: into the comparatively level country where months of searching had reves ed nothing. , “We Wad better get back into mountain country, Jim,’ said _ his A As he spoke his tool struck some- thing a few inches under the sand, and the prospector found a fracture on the rocks and picked upa small, {yellowish piece of stone, _ ‘What’s that?’ said Tom, as hesaw with what feverish earnestness his ‘pard’ examined the piece. ‘Egad! I think it’s horn silver? They were out of provisions and clothes; they had not means with which to pay the fee for securing their ‘find.’ After opening up their prize sufficiently to show that a vein of ore existed, they offered it to Mr. Ben Morgan, of Pittsburg,-who is opera- ting smelting works a few miles be- low Salt Lake City, for $18,000. Mr. Morgan sought the advice of the Superintendent of the Outario mine. Together they carefully examined the new ‘find,’ and, unfortunately for the genial Ben, they decided it was not worth risking the money on. The miners continued to open their vein, but soon again were stranded, when one of them wrote to two Irish friends who had already lost money on sup- posed ‘finds,’ and besouzlit them to. try their luck once more. Afyer much importuning they invested enough money to give the miners a good start, when the development of the mine proceeded rapidly. Four shafts were sunk and a number of interme- diate galleries run which connected the shafts. The work was pushed solely with a view to show the magni- tude of the deposit. It was the mar- vel of the whole country. Conserva- tive old engineers measured the ore bodies actually in sight, taking noth- ing for granted, and made numerous analyses in all parts of the mine to deterniine its richness, and the most cautious calculated the silver in sight as worth $27,000,000. Jay Cooke, hearing of this prize, secured an op- tion of a one-half interest for $2,- 500,000 for a short time, and _hasten- ing eastward he induced a number of Englishmen in New York to invest, and they took it at this price, the four original owners declining to sell the remaining half at any price.

It may be true that blundered in some action of hia in regard to the Railread interests of the State. It may be true that that blunder, whatever it may be, favours the interests of other States more’ than those of North Carolina. We say it-may be true that he has done something of the kind, aud that the proof is easy, bat—we doubt it. We think the Governor is able to show a good and satisfuctory renson for any action he has made in the premises. contrary compels us tu accept one of twa simple propositions: First, Gov. Jarvis is a traitor to bis State and a political knave. Or, second, Gov. Jarvis is a fool, and permits himself, and the State thro’ him, to be defraaded out of valued rights and interests. If either of these proposi- tions be true, the Charlotte Obserrer, which does so much in the making of Governors and Sevators, ought to be more particular hereafter who it sets up to fill these responsible positions. Gov. Jarvis is no more to us than to any other citizen of the State, but he is the Governor by the popular _yoice—his neighbors kuow-aie ove we be- lieve havesat in his ability and ‘honesty ; and that is enough, ju our opinion, to shield him from vile suspicious, and certainly ought to tone the words of those who set him up as Lt. Goveruor, with tlfe understanding at the time that he would be Governor. We have regretted to see the contrary, for several reasons, one of the most obvious of which is, that some one is bound to suffer dumage —the Governor or his as- sailunts—becanse it is et probable that both are right. The discussion of the “North Carolina system” at this time and with such vim, may be all right; but if it should hereafter appear that the design was to damage one man and pave the way for another to Gubernatorial honors, we shall learn more of what js meant by a “nigger in the wood pile.” In regard to railroad discriminations against Charlotte, the Observer, if it ever reaches the bottoin facts involved in these railroad questions, will find that it isa tight between railroads to protect and promote their own interests as against each other. Neither the interest of Charlotte nor any other town is allowed to govern the policy of the roads in these fights among themselves. The Cgrolina Central or the Charlotte and Statesville, or any of them, will sacrifice what citizens of Charlotte may deem their interest the moment they can dv» so and make noney by it. The whole study of railroad man- agers js not how they may build up this or that town, byt how they can manage their lines 30 as to make them pay. That is the simple truth in regard to the West- ero N.C. Railroad, and it can easily be shown tu be the policy of them all; and this being so, it narrows down to this simple question; Who shall govern the railroads in the matter of schedules and tariffs, the towns along their lives or the officers in charge of the roads?) When the railroads fall out and get to cutting each others throats by reducing rates, then it is fun fer shippers. When they harmonize on rates aud schedules mutu- ally profitable to themselves, it falls heav- ier on patrons‘and they ery out, for there is then no fav in it for them. It is one of the evils of the railroad system, for which we bave not yet found a remedy. Gov. Jarvis has = =o oe “THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN.” A new paper is soon to be started in Hickory, which will take the name of “The Western Cargljniay.” Mr. H. S, Blair is to be the editor. . The name of the proposed new paper is not rew. There wasa paper running here from about 1820 to 1843 or 44, bearing the same name. We are not sure who was the starter of it: that lies between the late Jacob Krider, of Mt. Vernon, and Lemuel Bingham, pf Statesville, and Hon. Philg White, of Whitestown, N. Y. The two latter gentlemen bought out Mr. Krider’s printing office about the year 1820, and together, as partners, publish- ed “The Western Carvlinian.” Two or three years after, Mr. Bingham retired and the paper was continued by Mr. White to the year 1839, when he sold ont to the late Hon. Burton Craige and Jeffer- son Jones, At the end of A year, Jones retired and the paper wag eontinwéd by Mr. Craige until 1833, and. sold: to the late Major Juhn Beard, subsequently of Florida. Mr. Beard run it until 1836 and sold to Dr. Ashbel Smith, pow of Texas, and Wade W. Hampton, Esq., subsequent ly State priuterin Texas. Dr. Smith re- tired after one year in the ghair eslitazial and Mr. Hampton became agle editor and proprietor, and ran the paper nntil 1838, and was suceeeded by Mr. Charles F. Fiaher und Col. Benj.

It is of small public interest that we have been spared so long in the position we have filled, unless it may be to citizens a matter of regret ; fur we very well kuow that there have been hundreds around us who could have filled it more worthily. We came iuto it at the first without seek - ing it, have continued in it with constant dread of the responsibility, and will re- linquish it freely when the end shall come.

Aniong those — were Jor »,, Platt and Stowell, of Virginia; Corbin and Cham- berlain, of South Carolina, avd wen of the same character and fame from’ other Southern States. Kellogg, too, was rep- resented, and the conelusion reaehed was that Senator Blaine is the candidate for the carpet-baggers. -It was urged that he, as president, would use all the power of his office to restore: the era of good stealing for these odprous politicians in the South. ‘The conference was secret, aud of course all the proceedings in detail cannot be had, but the Post has ascertain- ed the most material points. John Sherman and his avowed candi- dacy were discussed at length, and it was decided, with great unanimity, that he would vot do as a candidate for. the car- pet-baggets. He was owned entiv-ely by { Wall street, aud. the’ money power had not evinced any affeetion for carpet-bag- #ers, 80 it was said: It was agreed that the carpet-bag crawdshould begin to hur- rah for Hayes and:dend him to believe that he was the muhwof their ehoice. This policy could be kept-up for a few mouths, and it would result in creating a division between Hayes and, Sherman... The idea advanced was to kill off John Sherman in the interest of Blaine, and the most ef- fective way woald be to inspire the Fraud ‘with w belief that he could be renominated and thus lead him to antagonize his Se- cretary of the Treasury. Grant was talked of, Lut was discarded in spite of a few who warmly advocated him. The argument against him was that should he be re-elected he would “throw off” on the old crowd and endeavor to win the con- fidence of the country; that he would feel it necessary to separate himself from all the influences that brought reproach upon his former administration, and this would leave the earpet-baggers ont iv the cold. After canvassing the whole field, Blaine was selected as the man most likely to stand by the carpet-baggers, and the couference adjourned after swearing to stand by him.— Wash.

A motion was made by Mr. Burch of Tennessee to Jay the resolution on the table, and a scaled vote was demand- ed and granted. The result was ayes 359, noes 379. So the motion to lay on the table was lost. We now quote: The President: The gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Wallace] demands a division of the question, The clerk will read that portion upon which he calls a division. The clerk read as follow : Resolved, Vhat it be recommended to future Democratic vational convention as the sense of the Democracy here in) con- vention assembled that the so called two- thirds rule be abolished as unwise and un- necessarry. The resolution was adopted. The secretary read the second part, as follows: Resolved, Tha ithe States be requested to instruct the delegates to the Demo- cratic National Convention to be held in 1880 whether it be desirable to continue the two-thirds rule longer in force in national conventions, and that the Na- tional Committee insert such request in the call for the next convention, The resolution was adopted. So it will be seen that the last Demo- cratic National Convention on a_ scaled vote pronounced against the two-thirds rule, and that the two resolutions above quoted were adopted without a recorded division. Of course, it is for the next Democratic National Convention to adopt its own rules; but if the States instruct their delegates as requested, it will, we hope, require only a majority to nominate the next Democratic candidate for President. —Diapatch. ———+<>- - ——__ -— Our Clayton correspondent writes: This aection was visited by a destructive storm Thursday evening.

Quite a nuwber of our people are visit- ing the different snmmer resorts in the Good Old North State. Some of our most fascinating young ladies are absent, aud the young. men are restless. Misses May and Lena Shober, Mary Henderson, Jean- ette Schloss, Linda Ruple, Annie Bru- ner, Carrie Crawford, Bettie Crawford, Sallie McCorkle, Minnie Halyburton, aud others are.absent, and a large number are preparing-fo leave at au early day. ' Rev. J. Rumple and family will spend several weeks at Rocky-River Springs in anly county. 2Miss Patty Parker and Emma Ander- son, of Stanly, passed up to Mocksville, yesterday, to spend a few days with friends ix Davie county. Miss M. Mitchell, one of the teachers ot Simonton Female College, is spending part cf the vacation with her sister, Mrs. Dr. J. J. Summerell, cf this place. | | Miss Lizzie Elf, of Charlotte, is visiting the family of James M. McCorkle, Esq., of this city. Mrs. Harriett Scherer, of Gibsonville, is visiting the family of Col. Brown, of the Boyden House, and other friends here, of which she has many. Se ne The Masonic Pic-Nic, which came off yesterday at the “Shoals,” | was largely attended by the people of | Davie, Rowan aud Iredell, the number i being variously estimated at from 1200 to 1500. The object of the pic-nic was to raise money for the Orphan Asyluni at Oxford, and the method of attaining the money was by charging 3a small fee for dinner, in addition to a general collec- tion. .We did not learn the amount re- alized, The speakers appointed’ for the occa- sion were Dr. J. G. Ramsay, Rev. Geo. B. Wetmore, and Mr. B. F. Rogers. Dr. Ramsay, the tirsé speaker, sketched the origin, the course and the object of Free Masonry. Dating its origin 500 years be- fore the time ef Solomon, he showed that while nations and ewpires had disap- peared, Free Masonry, had ever been in- creasing, ever leniling its aid to the poor and needy. He stafed that the Masons of North Carolina had established an in- stitution at Oxford that every ‘year fed, elothed and ‘taught 130 orphans. He closed his discourse with a touching ap- peal in behalf of these destitute children. The profound attention of the audience testified to the merit of the speech. Mr. Rogers, of this place, then followed in a speech that for beanty of diction and feeling we have rarely heard surpassed. There was a vein of pathos ranning through bis ertire speech that attracted and charmed each one of his hearers. "The Rev. Mr. Wetmore succeeded him: with a few appropriate remarks. ‘After speaking, dinner was announced, and the large crowd ranged ‘themselves on each side of the bountiful table and enjoyed a most excellent dinner. Some time afterward J. M. Gray, Eaq., of this place, in response to numerous solicitations, delivered a bandsome im- promptu talk. Band No. 2 was on hand and furnished a liberal quantity of first-rate music—the It has never been our pleasure to ob- serve a more orderly, intelligent aud well attired crowd. _ Altogether, the day was pleasantly spent, aud will long be re- membered by all presest. eee Franklin Zephyrs Interviewed.

Mr, Editor: We had hoped that some Franklinite more competent to the task, would have raised his voice, ere this, in be- half of the “Stock Law;” but, they having failed to do so, I desire, through your col- umns, to remind the farmers of Franklin that from the date of this paper, just two weeks will elapse till the day of election (7th August) when the fate of the “Stock | Law” will be decided at the ballot box. | We hold, that no Presidential, G@uberna- | torial or Conzressional election has ever | taken place, which was-fraught with more | consequences to this community than this. | Those were political in their effects. Zs is strictly local in its nature, The argu- ments that might be advanced in favor of this law, are legion, but let a few suffice. The present system of fencing, suited very well in the days of our forefathers, tifty or a hundred years ago, when the pop- ulation was sparse, and timber abundant; but, the condition of our country is vastly different from what it was then. Now, it is useless for any one to shut his eves to the fact, that timber is becoming alarmingly scarce. There are, at this day, very many farms in Franklin, that, if the present fences were destroyed by fire, or otherwise, there would not be timber enough on the places to re-fence them. Again: It is a well established, scientific fact, that in well timbercd districts, rains are more frequent and abundant, for the reason that, the foliage of trees assist large. ly in the generation of vapors which form | clouds, and ultimately fall in showers of | rain, This being the fact, what wonder is | it then, that in a country, denuded of its} forests, as ours is, We so often hear the la mentable wail of drouth, drouth!! from one end of the country to the other. We adinit that it is late in the day to apply the | remedy, but, if we were to cease at once, | in cutting down our forests, and let the young timbers grow up, permitting nature. to have her way, vast benefits and changes | would result in a short time. | Again: Why is it that the youth in coun- | try districts are generally less intelligent | than they are in towns and cities? The| reason is patent to every thinking mind. | But lest some may not see it, we will accom | pany a farmer’s son through one year of his | life : | In January and part of February he is} splitting rails and making and repairing | fences. February, March and April are oc- | cupied in breaking and preparing land and | pitching the crops. During May, June and | July he is closely engaged in cultivating | the crops, and harvesting and threshing cae | wheat and oats crops. August is occupied | in turning fallows tor the wheat crop. Sep- tember, October and November he is engag- ed at sowing wheat, picking cotton, gath- ering, busking and housing corn, etc. In| December he returns to the inevitable rail- splitting and fence making again. This, as every farmer knows, is the history of a year, ina farmer boy’s monotonous life. This being true, how then, in the name of all that is preposterous is he to grow up into any thing but ‘a consumate ignoramus.. It is true, the girls and smaller boys do attend school; and now and_ then, (especially on rainy days) or if theyfare too unwell to split | rails, some of the larger boys attend school | a few days,—just long enough to make | thei feel ashamed to ex pose their ignorance to their teacher or schoolmates. Well, what sort of comforts do the chil- dren have, whilst at school?) Those tender children whom their parents take the best care of whilst at home, must Walk daily and retarn, through rain, mud, icc and snow from one-fourth to three miles. Arriving at the school-house, wet, cold and shivering, they are huddied all day around a cracked stove or smoky chimney, under a roof’ that will not shelter them from the elements, in a house so open, that a prudent. farmer would not consider good enough to shelter his stock in. And yet, here, the country children get what little of education they ever get. Why are the School houses so much neglected, and in such wretched con- dition? We answer, that it is brought about solely, by force of circumstances and will continue so to be, just so long as the present system of fencing exists, The. fai- mer hus as much-affection for bis. offspring, and come as nigh doing every thing in Le | | conifort, and genetal Well-being as any other Can tish be trained to come-for their 4 chass‘of people. But the truth is, his «hole wil] | of his farm,-and ca / Caldwell, ‘rupted once by a shower of rain, but the iclouds added to the pleasure of the oc- jeasion by putting the atmosphere in very ‘in Jett field by Garribaldi, of Charlotte, i the / Concord, acted as umpire, and performed depreciating, year after value. This “is ‘noe c Any thinking man has bat to op to see thattit is'té0 lamentably” Then, fanmers of 3 ‘ this stute of things tx is a ‘great problem to’us. simply resolves into. the: ‘question, 7 Sucther we will continue im’the future, as we haye done in the past, te‘work our sohs all sumnrer in thee and-then ke all winter at splitting railseand making fences, thus making. mere dradges of them, (for the sole purpose of fencing our crops against our neighbor's stock,) «preventing them from attending’ school, ‘and allowing them to grow up in ignorance -that is a shame and a discrace to the age in which we live. Qur own self-interest and self-re- spect demunds it; common. humanity ‘de- mands it; the future comforts and well being of our children cry out and: demand that we should accept. this law as a remedy: Why should any man be forced -to-fence his crop against another man’s.stock ? No idea can be more absurd and ridiculous. Would it not be a far more. sensible thing for each farmer to fence up his own stock and turn the crop out? By this arrange- ment, I believe there are now, in: Franklin Township, sufficient rails abeeady made, to keep up stack pastures for the-next twenty years, Without the necessity.of making a single new ouc. We feel amelancholy con- sciousness of our utter inabilityto do this subject justice. But it is absolutely’ need- less to argue a proposition’so plain as this. We know, full well, that whatever other portions of the county may think or do in regard to this election, a very large majori- ty of the farmers of Franklin are in’ tavor of the “Stock Law.” The only fear is, that by too much leth- argy, we may permit it to go, by default. There is one thing, of which we nay rest assured, The few enemies of the law are wide awake, and will turn out en masse, at the election. Then [ would say to the friends of the law, in thc Township, ARoUSE FROM YOUR LETHARGY, and go to work at once, like men determined to win. Let each one con- stitute himself a committee of one, and be on the alert to see that thereis a ful] turn out of our friends at the election on the 7th August, and victory will be ours.

No one can read many of the seculiar papers of the day and some of the reli- gious papers without being pained at so evident failure on the part of the papers to discriminate beteewn legitimate news and domestic gossip and scandal. News- paper reporters invade the sanctity of the -lomestic circle and parade in public things that ought never to be mentioned outside ot the family cirele; visit the hauuts of vice and parade in glaring dis- play heads and sensational letters, crimes and vices, that ought never to be men- tioned in the presence of refined people; and seour the country for seandal, inorder that they may pander to the vitiated tastes of some, who eagerly catch up and devour sueh vicious matter. Sach a policy 1s corrapting and ruinous in its effects upon soeiety. Many editors of the present day are two careless abont such inatters, aud many parents are not care- ful in their serutiny of the papers that enter their families to give tone and seuti- ment to the characters of their ehildren. What we need is a healthy public. opin- ion that will demaud journalism of a high order and a pare-character, and sup- port no other kind. Editors and* repor- ters should be taught, by pablie opinion to respect private rights aud not be gov- erued by caprice, or a desire to give sen- sational papers. Whenever public opin- iou gets right on this subject, the papers will set nearer so. A toning up in this respect on the part of secular andl some religions papers, is a needed -and desired improyement.—Raleigh Christian Advo- vate. , ———-— > A vesse] arriving at New York last week brought over six handred passen- gers, most of them Mennonites—a class of Russians, who have been coming to this country for several years, on account of the severity of the Czar’s conscription laws and the consistent adherence of this sect to peace. The followers of Simon Menno ave amongst the most thrifty peo- ple in the world, and wherever they have planted themselves, from the Crimea to Kansas, they have saved money. The present body of Mennonies are said to bring with them $400,000, or about $1,- 000 each. They comprise sixty families and have 213 children.

Harper's Monthy in a, superbly illustrated article on the wonderful growth of American art, gives a sketch of a prominent aritst, and how he came to take to the easel : Chester Harding was a farmer’s son, who after an ap- prenticeship in agriculture took up the trade of chair-maker at twenty- pne. After this various other pro- jects, including those of peddling, and the keepiag of a tavern, and then took his wife and child and floated ona flatboat down the Allegheny to Pitts- burg, then a mere settlement, in search of something on which to earn a bare living, There he took to sign-paint- ing, and it-was#eb Anti] his twenty- sixth year that the idea of becoming an artist entered his head. An itiner- ant portrait painter coming tothe place first snggested art to Harding, who engaged him to paint the por- trait of Mrs. Harding, and took his art Yeggon while looking over the artist’s shoulder; and his first crude attempts so fascinated him that he at pnce adopted art as a profession, and in six months painted one hundred likenesses, such as they were, at twen- ty-five dollars gach, and settled in Boston, where he.seems ta have been taken up with the characteristic en- thasiasm which the modern Athens bestows gn the favorites she delights to. honor. On going to England . . z Harding, notwithstanding the few ac- vantages |e had enjoyed, seemed to compare so favorable with the other portrait painters there that he was patronized by the first noblemen of the land. ~ .

P. Steele, Mobilo, Ala., makes bean poles of ‘the common canes or reeds growing in abundance ip Southern swamps.’ Choose specimens about the size of a man’s little finger, set three to each hill, in triangular form around the plants, bring together at a convenient height and bind with a bit of fine wire, then clip the tops off even with pruning shears. Three supports, the professor finds, are much better than for the yines to Jap over each other, as they are compelled to dou in the ascent of a single pole. ae “Now is the time to lay in your winter fuel,” as the tramp said when he crept into the repienished wood shed.— Hawkeye.

By its wonderful action on the Liver and stomach the HEPATINE not only revents to a certainty any kind of Fever and Black Tomit, but also cures Headache, Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia and all Malartal diseases.

GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the v5th day of June, 1878, with what wassupposed to be Acute Kheumatism, and Was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, picces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelli.g. After having been contined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Sullingia, and was So well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and ews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, aS her limbs galn strength, walk well. I attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluabie medicine.

People cre getting ncquainted—and those who are not ought to be—with the wonderful merits of that great American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri- ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising pntidetes for the naladies of her chil Crea. Its fame has been spreading for 55 years, watil gow it encircles the habitable globe. Tho Mexican 2 ang Liniment is a matchless remedy forallextcrnalailments of man and beast. To stock owncra end farmers it is invaluable. A single bottle often saves a human life or re storcs tha usefulu:ess of an excellent horse, ox cow, or shecp. It curc3 foot-rot, hoof-ail, hoilow horn, grub screw-wor.i, shouldcr-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles cad insects, andevery such drawbac‘x to stock breed!ng and bush life. Jt cures every cxterncl trouttc of horses, such as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bone, ctc., etc. The Moxiegn Mustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for cccidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., and for rheuma.- tism, and stiffness cngendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Miners. It is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it penctrates the muscle to the bone, and a single wplicaticn Is scnerally sufficient to cure. Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three ‘zes of bottles, the larger ones being proportion- ely much the cheapest.

Springs Ridely Cotnty. A pleasant drive of forty miles brought our party from Salisbury to this place yesterday evening, and we were fortunate enough to find comfortable quarters among [the crowd of visitors now gathered. here. _| These Spriogs have not been well known to our people in late years, though a gen- eration or two ago they were very popular and annually thronged with seekers of health and pleasure from the neighboring | counties, and especially from South Caro- lina. A half century ago the property belonged ta a company of wealthy plan- ters, mostly from South Carolina—the Williamses, McQucens, Steeles, ete. —who resided here several months each summef. It is stated that the beautiful bat ill- starred danghterof Aaron Burr, ‘‘Theodo- sia,” wife of Gov. Alston of S. C., so- journed in this place a season. In its palmy days there were five hotels and six stores on the grounds. But the build- ings, one after another, were consumed by tire, and the deed by which the prop- erty was held was lost or barncd. The dimness of the title deterred the proprie- tors from rebuilding. An interest in the property has of late fallen into the hands of D. N. Beunett, Esq., and Rev. C. C. Foreman, and they have erected buildings capable of lodgiug about seventy persons. The buildings are perfectly new, and un- der the management of the efficient and obliging host, Mr. Sam’l Wright, well known to some of our Salisbury people. The place is once more in good running order, popular and full of agreeable and pleasant company. About 250 visitors have already been here this season, and about 50 are here now. The attractions of the place are, first, the rare and varied combinations of healing waters. In the limits of ove eighth of an acre there are three valuable springs. SPRING No. 1, is evidently chalyerate, and is said to contain also magnesia, and is caleulated to benefit dyspepties. It in- creases the appetite and aids digestion. They say, that after drinking its waters one can eat six hard-boiled eggs for sup- per with impunity. I know that a fresh Visitor can eat two and sleep soundly all night. Sprina No. 2, is salphur and iron. It is recommended for dropsical affections and kidney diseases. Constitutions impaired by dissipations are restored by its waters. Wonder if the constitution of the United States would not be bene- fitted by a draught? Perhaps the ‘‘re- turning boards” of some of our sister States might be washed clean by a plen- tiful appaication. It is also recommen- ded as an antidote to the whiskey thirst. Wouldw’t it be well to have a “branch office” of this spring opened up in our towns and villages, where “Prohibition” is unpopular? It might take the place of a soda fountain or ice-cream saloon. Spring No. 3 is called the ‘Arsenic Spring,” though there are evident traces of iron in the sediment of this also. Tra- dition says that Indians, in old times used this water for cutaneous diseases. It has recently cured cases of tetter, scald-head, and old sores generally. It is recommen- ded as good for neuralgia. A second attraction of these Springs is the cool and. bracing nights enjoyed here. The country is very brokenand hilly, and forests cover a large part of the territory around. Rocky River sweeps around this region, like a huge half-moon, a mile and a half distant at the nearest point, and rushes rapidly and tumultuously over rocky shoals, and fajls here and there in cataracts, so that the voice of the waters is heard in the still evening air, as the guests lounge in the cool porticoes, or wander in the grounds. This belt of country is designated by the State Geol- ogist as the region of ‘“Huronic Slates” lying between the granites of the Pied- mont section and the sandstones of the lower Pee Dee. Unlike the red soils and sluggish streams of more fertile regions, this does not generate miasma, and chills are rare. Another pleasant circumstance is that visitors to these springs may come and return to their homes without change of climate, and do not need to “stay until frost,” as they must do when going to the mountains. They are also removed from the favorite haunts of dissipation and luxurious vice. Though not on the line of railroad, an easy drive of twenty-eight miles from Concord, or eighteen or twenty from Polkton or Wadesboro, on the Car- olina Central, will set one down at the Springs. The rates of board also are ex- tremely reasonable, and suited to the hardness of the times. ‘Fhree dollars a week will procure accommodations for adults, and two for servants and larger children. We have not looked around sufficiently, nor been here long enongh to venture a matured opinion, but first impressions, and “‘the story as ’twas told to us,” gives the hope of a pleasant sojourn in this place.

There was true economy in the advice of the farmer who recommended that the lower joint grass be left in the field for the old brindle cow rather than be cut aud cured for her. He was one of the nomerous army mowers who had learned there is nothing gained by cutting too close. The testimony the with respect to height from the ground at which it is best ; to cut grass is conflicting and tends to confuse and oftentimes mislead a novice in the hay-field. Cultivators vary in practice from one-half inch, or as close as possibly, to four inches. The general tendency is, however, to cut close, and many fine meadows have been injured therefrom. Close observation has taught that tim- | othy cannot be cut low, in dry weather especially, without inflicting injury. All attempts at close shaving the sward should be avoided. Many of our most successful farmers cut timothy nearly or | ing is so certain to keep the perches ' or quite four inches from the ground. Others in guaging mowing machines for ! this grass take care to run them high that it will not be cut below the second joint above the tuber. Close mowing of upland meadows ought also to be avoided, as the action of the hot sun and dry weather following the | harvest affects the roots of the grass un- favorbly wheu left without some protect- ion. On the other hand low, wet ing grounds will bear cutting close as possible ; these are benefited by the in- fluences which would dry and burn upan upland meadow. Again, where the prac- tice is followed of top-dressing the mead- ow immediately after taking off the grass, the mowing may be done low and a smooth surface left to cut over the next time. Generally speaking, grasses cut two in- ches high will start much quicker and thrive better than when sbaved close to the ground; the fine grasses, as a rule, when the season is nota very dry one, can be cut lower with safety than the coarser sorts.—V.

There was a marriage at the upper end of the Detroit, Lansing and Northern road the other day. A great big chap al- most able to throw a car loud of lumber off the track, fell in love with a widow, who was cooking for thé hands at a saw mill, and after a week’s aequaintance they were married. The boys around the mill lent William three calico shirts, a dress coat, and a pair) of white pants, and chipped in a purse of about $20, and the couple started for Detroit’on a bri- dal tour within an hour,after being mar- ried. ‘This ‘ere lady,” explained William, as the conductor came along for tickets, TALKS ABOUT HEALTH.

But ifthe ankles were shackled, so that the feet could be moved buta few inches, the great value of the ex- ercise would be lost. I asked you to note the arms and shoulders of an active walker. How they swing, and wiggle, and wiggle— how thoroughly alive even the upper half of the body is! The physiology of that part of the body in walking is “Now, then;” said WijHtm, as he put this: the shoulder is.a sort of centre ; on his coat, ‘this bridle tower will be re- | for the muscles of the chest. They start from the shoulder and spread out in every direction Jike a fan.

Brisk walking, with a swinging of the arms, gives the required of shoulders. Now we understand how it is that active walking contributes so much to the fullness and strength of the chest, and the organs within the chest. Please put your finger down there, and look out of this front window with me. It is a bright day, and the ladies are out in force. Now, let us notice how they waik. Why, they don’t swing their arms at all! Their arms must be laced down upon their sides! No, they are hold- ing their arts still, and see, they have tucked their hands into those large fur rollers which they carry on their stomachs. Their arms look, for all the world, like the wings of a Christ- mas turkey, all tied down and ready to be put in the oven. It must be hard work to walk in that way! . It is very bard indeed, and you see they have to walk very slowly, and wiggle their hips. What a funny motion that wiggle is. I should think fastidious people might call it vulgar and immodest. - Oh, well, that depends upon the fashion, That wiggle-waggle is all the go now. I should think it would lame them across the back.

D. ee N.C. Darkeys on the Way. Washington Post, 19th, The first batch of colored emigrants which has left North Carolina for Kansas, passed through this city yes- terday. The party consisted of Love- las Brown, Turner Scott, Doc Brown, Miles Scott and Wm. Scott. Brown is @ Baptist minister, and hails from Halifax county, while the rest are from an adjoining county of Warren, and are farm hands. The Browns are both jet black, while the Scotts are light mulattoes. The former are not relations, but the two last named are boys of sixteen and eighteen, sons of Turner Scott. Their first act on arriving here was to make for the City Hall, where they expected they would find “Mr. Fred Douglass.”” On hearing their story he gave them five dollars and sent them to see the Kan- sas Immigration Aid Committee, lately formed here. Mr. Douglass has placed himself on record over and rover again as apposed to the move- ment, but said he could not see mem- bers of his race go hungr¥-.and desti- tute. The tale they told him was, that becoming dissatisfied with the life they weré leading in North Carolina, they and their friends had decided that they should push along until they got to Kansas, do the best they could for themselves there, and write home the state of affairs. This last was especially delegated to the minis- ter, whose congregations (he has three) paid his expenses. A colored man named West Harris had advised them to cal] at this city on their way. They left home on Tusday last, taking the turnpike at first and intending to go to Portsmouth, Va., and so husband their small fund. By Wednesday at noon one or two of the the party were completely used up, and the rest were very willing to take the cars, though the fare took all their money. Mr. Milton M. Holland, the treasurer of the relief committee here, conferred with Mr. Douglass and the travellers, and it was decided that the route should be changed, and Athens, Ohio, made the objective point. Tickets for that place were procured and given them, they left on the 11 o’clock train last night. ———~—-— A box 24 by 16 inches, 22 deep, contains one barrel ; a box 16 by 163 inches, 8 deep contains one bushel ; a box 8} by 84 inches, 8 deep, con- tains one peck ; a box 4.by 4 inches, 4} deep, contains a half peck.

ADAMS,—This high- ly esteemed citizen of Mocksville, died in that place, Friday morning last, July 25. Mr. Adams had gained a very high stand- | t ing as a business man and useful citjzen, and his death cast a sad gloom over the entire.communjty. He died of typhoid- fever.

The Charlotte Observer ip noticing his death says: ; . “The war coming on he entered the Confederate army aud served with dis- tinguished bravery, losing an arta which rendered necessary his retirement: from active military service. Since that time his health has been at all times’ delicate. In the year ]864 he serye g term in the Legislatore ; in 1875 “he was offered the nomination of the ennvention of the Dem- ocratic party of his county toa seat in the State convention that year, and in 1876 he was one of the delegates from this con- gressional district to the National Dem- ocratic convention which met that year at St. Louis and nominated Mr. Tilden for President. This has been the extent of his connection with public affairs, for which he never developed a taste. Highly successful in his business affairs, accumulating perhaps the finest property in his county, he was not less successful in winning for himself the cordial esteem of all who knew him. His tine powers of nind marked him as a conspicuous man in his section, and these gifts he carefully cultivated, and added to them g warmth and genialjty of manner, a fund of infor- mation and a quickness of perception which rendered him a favorite member of any company. Benevolence and charity were leading traits in his character and he was ever foremost in every good word and work.

AtTLanta, Ga., July 26h.—Martin Depoor and wife, living six miles from Atlanta, both nearly eighty years of age, were bru- ally murdered last night while in bed asleep. Both were cut in the neck with an axe, the body of Mrs. Depoor being nearly severed. The murderers are not known, nor the object in committing the deed. Different theories are expressed, The Depoors were quiet, peaceable people, not having an enemy as far as the neighbors knew. The community are excited and every effort is being made to discover the murderers, ease. it is believed, prevent trouble with the ne- groes. “The Governor's orders to the co!- ored troops to report to Col: Cameron, and his appeal to them have had a good effect. It is believed they will be faithful to the city and willjdo their duty in preventiag any disturbance. A census will be taken by the police of all who have not had the fever, and an attempt will be made to clear the town of all but police, doctors, nurses and the sick. All the small country towns in this section have quagantined against this city. No trains will leave here on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad after to- morrow night. Mrs. J. E. R. Ray, one of those whg died to-day, was crazed by the loss of her husband, Judge Ray, and her children, and was sent to the hospital for treatment. She took the yellow fever and died in a short time. (BY TELEGRAPH, 24711.) Efforts are in progress to select a camp for indigent people seven or eight miles from Memphis. Those going to it will be fed and provided for. Under no circum- stances will rations be issued to people in the city. Many rough lonking plantaticn hands continue to arrive in the city in search of free rations, aad advices from plantations twenty miles away report tnat the negroes are openly saying they will go to Memphis to plunder and enrich themselves. From the present outlook it is doubtiul if there wil] be able-bodied men enough in the city in two weeks to protect property against pillagers. Very few of those who remained through last year’s siege are to be seen in the city now, Although the total number of fever cases reported is only ninety, it is known that others have not been included, owing to the mildness of the attack. It is generally believed that all liable to the malady will suffer before the summer ends; but the indications are that it wil! be of a less violent .type than any heretofore ex- pericnced.

(By Telegraph to Wilmington Star. } New York, July 26.—The death, by yellow fever, of Mrs. Brennan, late of Memphis, and the two cases sent to quar- antiuve, lave created a little uneasiness in this community, and some of the morning papers are calling fora rigid qaurantine law on the land-side. Mrs. Brepnan came here from Memphis last Tuesday with ten others, aud took a room in a tenement house in Nineteenth street, where five other families were living. Mrs. Brennan became so ill on Thursday night that her friend sent fora physician, who called Without suspicion of the uature of the dis- A brief examination satistied him that she was suffering from yellow fever. The inmates then admitted that they were refugees from Memphis. The rooms of the families were then isolated and dis- infectants used. Mrs. Brennan died yes- terday morning, and the body was hasti- ty burried. Mr. Fitzgibbons, another of the refugees, and his wife were apparently ill, and were removed with other members of the fam- ily to quarantine. There was considerable excitement last night in the vicinity where the death oe- curred, which is ove of the foulest parts of the city. The names of the Memphis refugees trken to the qarantine hospital last night are Michael, Bridget, Mary and John Corvell. The brother of Mrs. Brennan, who died, and who was also of the party, cannot be found, aud it is supposed he left his family to escape being sent to the hospital. Robert Rhind, second mate of the Brit- ish steamer Alnwick Castle, from Havana, was taken to the hospital to-day, down with the fever. In addition to the abovi, there are now six fever patients in the hospital, The Situation at Memphis Unchanged. Fewer Deaths and Cases—New Cases and Deaths at New York—A Death at New Orleans and One at Cincinnati. Mempuis, July 23.—Three new cases are reported to the board of health this morning; no deaths have occurred. A detail of 25 men from the colored military companies has been made to do police duty during the day as the entire strength of the regular police foree has been assigned to night service. It has been raining steadily since daylight. Dr. Samuel J. Fox, of Eduis, Texas, arrived this morning. He will be sent out of the city to-night by order of John Joho- son, superintendent of quarantine, as he has never had the fever and the inspec- tors at the quarantin@ station have been instructed not to permit unacclimated people to enter the city. A DEATH AT NEW ORLEANS. WASHINGTON, July 23.—Dr. Bemis telegraphs from New Orleans to the Na- tional board of health to-day: “One fatal case of yellow fever, corner of Second and Constance streets—an Italian girl. The premises are fifthy aud crowded. No other cases here. - RATIONS FOR THE SICK ONLY.

Cincinnati, July 23.—Chris, Myers, who left Memphis a ic. w days ago called on the heaith officer this afternoon and said he believed he had the yellow fever. After examination the officer sent him to the hyspjtal as a suspicious case. New Orteans, Jaly 29..—There has been but one death from yellow. fever in this cjty this year—that of a Spanish girl yesterday morning. The second ease reported to the board of health was that of a two year old child of Dr. Moinegra, corner Magazine and Washington streets, who is now convalescent. It is regarded asa doubful case. The Times says its reporter visited yesterday every doubtful case known to the doctors, They express the opinion that none of them has yellow fever. It would be almost impossible for a case to escape the vigilance of the State board of health, the national board, the authorities and sanitary auxiliary asso- ciation officials, who know of no case oth- er than those before mentioned. A child at 105 Bourbon street, who was brought here Sunday night, from Morgan city, has black vomit and will die. The child and its parents were sent here by the Morgan City authorities. EIGHT CASES AT MEMPHIS—CAMP TABLISHED. MEMPHIS, July 29.—Six new cases are reported to the board of health this morn- ing, among the namber 8. A. Hatcher, of KR. Cochrane & Co., Maria Lauahan, E. Rosenheim and Tony Botto. Late last night a messenger arrived from Raleigh, Tenn., for a nurse to at- tend Dora, daughter of Chief of Police Athy, who is down with the fever. Col. Cameron, with his detail of color- ed soldiers, took quiet possession of the grounds selected for the establishment of the camp, and by 6 o’clock this morning had 125 tents erected. The first train with refugees will leave this afternoon at 39 o'clock. The policy of the authorities to furnish rations only to those who are in camp will be strictly observed. All mail matter leaving this city is thorough- ly disiufected under the personal saper- vision of the inspecting officers of the National Board of Health. The weather continues sultry, LATER.—T wo new cases were reported to the board of health this afternoon, and four deaths from yellow fever have been reported by nudertakers —Ada Hicks, colored ; Eastern Oley, colored ; Bridget Tworney and Jno. Tworney. The last two had never been reported to the board of health as having the fever, neither did the burial certificate have the signature of the attending physician. As both died within two hours of each other aud had the black vomit just previous to death, it was presumed by the undertaker that they died of yellow fever. A colored man named G. Wiggen, also died to-day. He had no physician and a member of the Howard Association, whose attention was called to his death, had him) buried and signed the certitiexte for yellow “ES- fever. ‘The board of heal.h, however, re- fus -d to recognize the signature and class ed the death as unknown. About. fifty people went down to camp this afternoon. The weather has greatly interferred with the removal of the poor. The camp has been named Camp Marks in honor of the Governor. The Howard Association to-day assigned ten additional nurses to duty. An aged negro named Billy McDonald, left in charge of Mrs. Allen’s residence near the north gate of Elmwood ceme- tery, was found dead this morning. Some unknown party had murdered bim. There is no clue to the cause or the assassin. Sam/’l A. Hatcher is reported in a criti- cal condition to-night. HICKMAN, KY., QURANTINES.

Having long used borax for various domestic and hygenic purposes, I have come to regard it as a necessity. Housekeepers who do not use it have something yet to learn concerning a very convenient and useful article. In the laundry it is economical, as it saves both labor and soap, and is really cheaper than the latter. blankets and other large articles it is especially valuable, and in all cases will save half the labor when articles are much soild. It is perfectly effectual in Griying away red ants, cockroaches, ete., if sprinkled around on, pantry shelves, or pnt in small quantities on paper and placed in the runways of the use of alittle borax the insects.

Just after the war, when inflation prices painted pictures of fortunes in all kinds of city and town vocations —when banking, insurance, and the agency business were sypposed to yield wealth without limit, and when it was believed that fortunes could be made by merely organizing some sort of stock company, and puting the shares on the market-—there was a general flocking of young men from farms to cities and towns, to get rich without Jabor, But the delusion has ended in bitterness and disappoint- ment, to thousands all over the land, and proved that the living by the wits is one that very few can thrive at. We are beginning to reallize that farming possesses pre-eminent mer- it—it will yield a living if nothing more, and that is more than can be said of many city pursuits.

People are getting acquainted—and those who are not ought to be-—with the wonderful merits of that great American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri- ca, Where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil n. Its fame has been spreading for 35 years, until now it encircles the habitable globe, The Mexican Mustang Linitment is a matchless remedy forallextcrncalailments of man and beast. To stock owners end farmers it is invaluable. A single bottle often saves a human life or re- fulness of an excellent horse, ox Ov -rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub, choulder-rct, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawbac to stock breec.ing and bush life. It cures every cxterncl troubéc of horses, such as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gell, ring-bone, ctc., cte. The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for cccidents occurring in the family, in the abscncc of a physician, such as s, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., and for rheuma.- tism, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Miners. It is the cheapest remedy in the world, far it penctrates the muscle to the bone, and a single plication is generally suficient to cure. Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three ‘ze3 of bottles, the larger ones being proportion- , siy niuch the cheapest. Sold everywhere, FORTHF WATCHMAN the Courts of the State.

Ialso made the acquaintance of Mr. D.—, one of the prin- | cipal residents, also of his son and some other gentlemen. Messrs. D.— claimed to hold their land under royal grant, and are Episcopalians, but I understand there ' are comparatively few Episcopalians in | North Carolina, which was not so aristo- | cratic in its origin as Virginia on the | one side, and South Carolina on the other. Besides the few blacks who possess farms of their, own, very many own houses and small patches of land | not large enough to make them independ- | ent farmers, and these men work as hired laborers besides cultivating their patches. I hear no complaint that the blacks about him are idle. There is no decrease in their numbers, but owing to their habits they are not now increasing as fast as they used to, nor so fast as the whites. The disadvantage in regard to labor in thesé parts is that the female labor, which was largely available in slave times, is now lost, as the black women will not work; they like to copy the whites in this respect, and preachers have taken the side of the women. They cook and wash and do household work, but, excepting the cotton picking at the picking season, will seldom do field work. Those of the lower class of whites who have no energy to rise above the position of hired laborers are no better off than the blacks, and are not paid higher, but by far the greatest part of the hired labor is black. In the town, laborers get nearly a dollar a day; in the country they are hired at eight or teu dollars a month with a house and rations, or fifty cents a day without rations. I hear complaints that many of the white people go West in- stead of improving the lands at home; many of the Highlanders have gone West. Here also I am told that the complaint against the negroisthat, though generally willing to work, they are too much in- clined to take holidays and amuse them- That is said to be an objection to employing them at mills and places where regular labors is required. They are apt to go to church-meetings or to market the produce of their little patches. They driuk more than is good for them, but | do not gather that they are very drunken. , * * * Governor Vance, 4beugh a Democrat, comes from the western hill country, and both he and Mr. C. and oth- ers whom I met, seemed to be very well inclined towards the negroes, saying that they often made the best farmers, and generally the best laborers. The Gover- nor says, that on the whoie the black re- presentatives sent to the Legislature are fairly selected ; illiterate they are, some of them are quite well disposed and sen- sible. He instances as one of the best a black carpenter who sits in the Legisla- ture, and when not so engaged works well at bis trade. Most of the skilled trades are in the hards of the whites, but there are black carpenters, blacksmiths, and bricklayers, and the whites have not at- tempted to put them down. In the last State assembly there were 8 of them in the State Legislature. None of the State Judges are black, but some of the county Officers are. There is a black prosecu ting attorney at Raleigh, but he is not very good. In this State blacks are al- lowed to sit on juries, aud do to some ex- tent, but not very many of them. There is still a very strong social prejudice against people with any tinge of color, especially among ladies, who would not for their lives sit in the same room with a colored man. I am told that the Gov- ernor was obliged to give up his recep- tions because of a difficulty about the black members of the Legislature, for if they came no whites would come. The whites have agreed to accept the blacks for business purposes, but not for social purposes. This State was originally en- tirely against secession and war. It was formerly a very Whig State, and although afterwards the Democrats prevailed, when the quarrel between the North and South came, North Carolina voted entirely against secession till Lincoln’s military measures for the cvercion of the South ex- cited the opposition of the more moderate Southerners; then North Carolina took the confederate side, and supplied a very large numbers of soldiers to the Confed- erate army.

S., in descriptive narative—I should yet your readers by giving a slight ac- count of some incidents of a late moun- tain trip—hoping by this means to in- duce others to come in and take a share in such enjoyments. We left Statesville at eleven o’clock on a bright sunny day. The ride to “Henry’s” was uneventful, as it is a quiet country through which we pass- ed, and most of the inhabitants were at that season busy on their farms. As the train moved away from “Ca- tawba Station” a lonely looking indi- vidual steod gazing after us, and my conscience smote me for not, remem- bering that James P was making his home there and might have been cheered by exchanging greetings with an old friend. The circumstance was food for melancholy thoughts on “lost opportunities” which have forever es- caped us. The Catawba river bright- ened our landscape, but we were con- stantly disappointed in seeing scarcely any wild flowers—we. were several weeks too late forthem. As the hours passed we kept a lookout for “the mountains,” which at last appeared to strike us with their grandeur. We regrettd to miss a fine view of the “Black,” as our travelling companion could not tell us when and where to look for it. Ata little after 6 P. M., the mountains, where we found com- fortable rooms, excellent fare and a most courteous host. We were much pleased to meet Major Wilson, the President of the Road, with whom we sat on the porch after supper, talking of old times and old friends, while our eyes were feasting on the sunset glow as it gradually faded away be- hind the Blue Ridge. Findiog that we intended to spend the next day at Henry’s, Major Wilson kindly invited us to accompany him on his rounds, dine at the “Penitentiary” and return to the hotel on the evening train. To all of this we gladly assented and on going to the train next morning Maj. W. offered us a ride on the engine— so L. took her perch on one side, and I on the other with the Major and the engineer standing between us. Ab! it was glorious to ascend those grand old hills in such a style. The engine and when the engineer now and then loosed his hold on the lever, it was as though the rein had fallen from the driver’s hand, Up and up we went, winding our way through deep cuts, over lofty trestles aud high embank- ments, into dark tunnels—bewildered at the tortuous.course which we were pursuing, and unable to decide wheth- er the range of the trestles in sight across the valley were those which we had already crossed or those to which we had not not yet come. The en- ee like to attempt to entertain some of we arriyed at Henry’s in the heart of seemed like a living sentient being—’ trances to the tunnels were draped in | Sate ee | thought ‘and. irreverent. analysis is|take root in the bare rocks.’ At last come “upon us, bringing light and |the train stopped at “Swannanoa sta-|p tion,”.a.small cabin. only a little. be- ring of passengers and baggage into the roomy, sociable, old-fashioned nine-seated stage coach -which was to convey them¢to Asheville. Major W. now directed L. and myself to put on oyershoes:and’ mount our perclies once more. We were taken on and on, in- to Egyptian darkness, lighted up in one place by the fire of a blacksmith’s forge, in a nich cut.in.theside of the funnel, § euvtiiae cat bai Soon after plunging inte the dark- ness again the engine cameto a halt, and the word was given “You must alight here!” But how? We could hot see our hands—much ‘less know where to put our feet! At some dis- tance ahead convicts. were at work using miner’s lamps, and lights being brought from that qurater we descend- en safety. Stepping from sill to sill and at one time forced to climb on and walk across some flat cars which stood in the way, ..we,at Jast reached a place where sume convicts were pick- ing and drilling at a steep bed of rock some five or six feet in height and over the face of which flowed a stream of clear cold water. We clambered or rather were pulled up this bank and found ourselves in a place which look- ed like a long garret, the lamp-light showing the heavy beams arching the roof. This was the unfinished part of the last and longest tunnel. Word was sent ahead to bring hand-cars and presently we could dimly see that they were at hand. Taking our seats we were cautioned to lower our heads in order to avoid being struch by the beams overhead. The cars were very muddy, but that wasa trifling cireum- stance, and in a few minutes we emerg- ed from the darkness into the open air at the further end of the Swanna- oa Tunnel. To add to our gratifica- tion, at having accomplished the trip, Major W. informed us that, with a single exception, we were the first la- dies who had passed through. Near the mouth of the tunnel an engine was standing with flat-cars loaded with sills and iron for the track. We found comfortable seats on these sills and were taken a mile or two further into Buncombe county, as far as the track was laid. We wandered about seek- ing wild flowers until Major Wilson was at leisure to attend to us again— but instead of returning through the dark and muddy tunnel, he guided us on foot across the top of the Ridge, a far less exciting mode of travel, though now and then we could hear the sound of blasting seemingly just beneath. Just on the top of the mountain we visited a fish hatching establishment belonging to-the U. S. Government. The baby trout and salmon seemed lively enough ; one can hardly imag- ine a quicker movement than the “spring” with which they seize the food which is thrown to them. These pools have a stream of clear water Dowiloog them,and are beauti- fully shaded by rhododendrons, azal- ias, flowering locusts and other moun- tain trees and shrubs. A short distance below we found a train of flat-ears, loaded with earth to be use on the “files,” and fook our seats on acouple.of empty powder kegs which lay on the rear car, Maj. Wil- son gave directions to the disposal of this earth, and during the half-hour needed for this, our train stood on some trestle-work, from which spot we had before us the finest view on the whole road—range after range of mountains receding into the blue and misty distance far away into South Carolina. Thence we moved on to a saw-mill where we ‘alighted and sat for a while watching the work and admiring the views. Maj. Wilson then led the way, by a short walk, to an exquisite retreat beside one of the many sparkling streams, where we found hidden amongst the laurels a re- cess in®the rock, so sheltered by a most a cave. Here we rested and chatted for an hour, wotil informed that the engine would soon be at our disposal for the descent of the moun- tain.

RewaRpDEp.—Col. 8. A. Sharpe has re- ceived the appointment as postmaster at this place, to succeed Colonel W. A. Elia- son. The change ‘was a surprise to all, because of the promptness and business-like manner in which the affairs of the office have been administered. The reason of this removal is purely political. Calonel Eliason is, though quiet, an avowed Dem- ocrat, while Colonel Sharpe is equally as avowed Republican; and the change was simply the stepping down and out ofa Democrat to make room for a Republican. Col Eliason has forwarded the department a strongly fortified petition asking for his retention, but has litele idea his request will be granted, as his politics will not ad- mit him to help along the Sherman boom or be utilized during the campaign.

Citizens on the otier side of the Yadkin river would go a much greater distance to market rather than cross it. This route would be a little too far off to open up or materially arpreine the valuable water resources of the Yadkin, which for many miles above and below the Narrows, is un- doubtedly equal! to the great water resour- ces of Lowell, Mass. Iam can con- fess that I do not see one ® nable interest in favor of this Albemarle and Gold Hill route; while the route proposed by Nemo seems to subserve all the great and important interests of the whole sec- tion. The Yadkin river being bridged at or near suitable depots, it is admitted that this route would open up a vast extent of rich valley lands on both sides, from which circumstance alone it is evident that it would more than justity a double expense in building. Then there is the important ; interest of the vast thineral wealth in the adjacent hills and valleys of Montgomery along this route. This also would enhance the value and importance of the route. There 1s also a vast amount of the most valuable kinds of timber along this route— thousands upon thousands of dollars’ worth of the finest stave timber—immense quan- tities of the very best hickory and other kinds of timber yaluable for shipping to factorics, This interest alone would cer- tainly justify the building of this road tor many miles along the most expensive por- tion of this route. Finally, Nemo is not fur off the mark in asserting that the water power along this route is sufficient to run the machinery of the United States. Then how valuable it would become were this road built! No location in the United States at least would be more favorable or eligible for the establishment of almost all kinds of manutfactorics. It is located ag nearly as could be selected on the boundary line between the cotton and grain growing sections of the United States, and would be connected by railroad directly with the most abundant Western store-houses of grain and meat, and the vast cotton region Be it further Orduined, That if the Tax | Collector or Treasurer shall fail to comply | ofthe South. In short, if this road were built, we should expect this water power to | with the preceding sections of this ordi-| become of immense value and importance, ‘nance, he shail be liable to be summarily | not only to the property owners along the | dismissed from eftice. | Ordinance XLITI was amended to read | as follows: Be it Ordained, That the depth About one-third of the whole num- | of all graves dug in the cemeteries within | the corporate limits shall not be less than | four feet to the vault, and that the price ’ | tor children $1.50, and for adults $3.00. | very much.

Even the people of Albemarie and the citizens along the entire latter route, would be benetitted vastly more by a road along the route proposed by Nemo. I feel almost assured that a large majority of these intelligent citizens will, when they sce and consider the points, heartily advo- cate this route with probably a few slight alterations and amendments. To say that the route via Albemarle is a few miles nearer, and could be built for a few thousands less—which is not clearly evident—proves or establishes nothing per | se in favor of this route.

Jeuy 27, 1879: Rockingham and Wadesboro Railroad. ' Mr. Editor: T was delighted in reading | in your wide awake paper of 3d inst., Ne- | mo's correspondence in which he suggested | a very important and desirable route for | the prospective railroad between Salisbury | and Rockingham. Also I was pleased to | ! see in your issue of 17th, an article headed | “Wadesboro and Rockingham Raliroad.” | Whether we realize it or not, there cer- tainly is no subject of more interest or greater importance pecuniarily and other- wise to this whole section of country than this railroad enterprise; and I am heartily gratified to see it agitated and discussed so reasonably by intelligent, public-spiritcd citizens, through the columns of your paper. . . Pet our influential citizens take hold of this important enterprise at once, and se- cure the speedy building of this road, lest, while we delay and slumber over the sub- ject, other more intelligent and progressive communities push forward and cut us off. We must not shut our eyes with indifference in regard to the significance of such dem- onstrations as the recent mass-meeting and barbacue in the western part of the State. The projected enterprises of our public- | spirited neighbors may have an immense | bearing upon our own as well as upon their business interests. It is not too late for Salisbury, by timely and well-directed en- terprise and effort, yet to become one of the most important and_ prosperous busi- ness centres of the State. Prompt action, however, is of the greatest importance, for by delay she may suffer herself to be effect- ually checkmated. The action of some of the citizens of Salisbury, in regard to this important enterprise, when it was before agitated, has always scemed unaccountable tome. I know they were stockholders of the Central road, and were said to have been influenced by what they thought to be their interest therein; yet this could have been an act only of the most short-sighted “penny wisdom and pound folly.” It is to be hoped that they will now be as strong and successful advocates as they were op- ponents of the enterprise before. ; It may be well for the citizens of Salis- bury especially to ponder over the closing paragraph of the article, “Wadesboro and Rockingham Railroad, in Watchman of 17thinst. We would commend its thoughts to the intelligent citizens of this entire sec- tion. My object when sitting down’ to write this was only to make a few remarks in regard to the two different routes advocated for our railroad. As Iam a Stanly inan, I should prefer the road's being built entire- ly on this side of the Yadkin river, via Albemarle, all other things being equal. We must not, however, be governed in dis- cussing this subject by any local or other selfish prejudice, but must endeavor to un- derstand and appreciate the real merits of the different routes, as it is certainly to our individual as well gs collective interest that the road be built where it will subserve and develop the most important resources | fou whole section—provided no other reator interest of se-ts ather section be 5 proper route, its) value and importance would be immensely accumulative for ages, no doubt. terprise gone into at no distant date.

It isa matter of perfect indifference to the people of Montgomery county, whether or not the flooding of the great African desert, would cause northern Europe to be drenched with incessant rains and reduce the temperature of north Germany and Den- mark. If Denmark, Sweden and Norway were submerged by the waters of the Arctic Ocean, the North sea and the Baltic, if the Maelstrom, that great whirlpool so much dreaded by northern navigators were made a calm and those channels with unpronoun- ceable names, the Skager Rock and Cattegut were wissed out by the general influx of the waters, seven-tenths of our people would never hear of it. All our people seem to want is set forth in the following lines : “Beefsteak when I'm hungry, Whiskey when I'm dry, Greenbacks in my pockett, Heaven when I die.” . If M. de Lesseps lived contemporaneous with Ham and had devised and carried in- to effect a plan to flood. not only Sahara, but the whole of Africa, he certainly would have been a great benctactor to the human race. The war of the “Great Rebellion” would never have been; the “Great Na- tional Republican Party,” which was “con- ceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity,” would never have had existence, and the White House would not have been dese- crated by the “Great, Fraud.” There cer- tainly would have been no negro cclebra- tion at Troy last Saturday, and those young men of Caucasian blood would not have “looked on the daughters of Ham, to lust after them.” The nickels spent by them (the young gents) in the purchase of cakes, candy, snuff and tobacco, and given to those ladies of “the kinky hair and sooty complexion,” “without regard to race, col-, or or previous condition,” might, with more propriety, have been spent in the pur- chase of school books for some needy relative. And again, Uncle Jesse might have saved those “dams” so liberally be- stowed on the obstreperous negroes and utilized them in the construetion of fish ponds, or applied them to the exclusive benefit of his many insolvent debtors. But inasmuch as M. de Lesseps was not “in the right place at the right time” to flood Africa and drown the descendants of the “cursed” son of Noah (Ham), it is well that the negroes had their celebration. It was gotten up solely for the benefit of the col- ored children of this county, and its object was to raise funds to finish paying for the academy building andthe lot on which it is built. Four colored orators attempted to address the immense throng, but it was almost impossible to hearthem. For while the older ones, who had been brought up in slavery, were up stairs in the Court-house ’ A endcavoring to maintzin order, bu that the = aa er eer ae speakers Could be Heard, 2 cfowd of the “new issue” and by the aid- aud by pommelli pedal extremities ii in sempoeer © noise. very. é yeath were coming together.” . Isham Davis says a young “nigger” will. be a “dam nigger,” no matter how hard old guigeer=™ try to make him do like white . Notwithstanding the “fuss and frolic” they succeeded in raising the funds, and Prof. Speller, of Raleigh, will organize the school at an early day. If scientists could devise a plan to pro- duce rain to order in sufficient quantities at low rates, much of the uncasiness ex- perienced by farmers and others in times of drought, might be obviated. Various plans have been suggested, such as the explosion of large quantities of gunpowder and the burning of immense piles of wood. But rain produced by artiticiaLcauses generally costs more than it comes to. We once listened to a conversation between the Rey. James Ballard and Dr. H. G. McEachen on the efficacy of prayer as a means of obtain- ing rain in dry weather, Ballard maintain- ing its efficacy and McEachen the reverse. Ballard cited times and places, when and where people had assembled to pray for rain—that copious showers, sometimes drenching rains, had succeeded these meet- ings. On the other hand, McEachen main- tained that people never meet to pray for rain until the fear of famine stares them in the face and those natural causes which produce rain are about to ¢Culminate—that there is just as much good agnse ‘in praying for a shower of guano as for-a shower of rain. Be this as it may, one thing we do know, that when Elijah went up on Mt. Carmel and bowed his head between his knees and prayed for rain, it came down in torrents, Nemo. ~e—me-- ---= For the Watchman. Our Public School System. To-day, the first Monday of August, many of our Common Schools open their tine for a review of the merits and demer- its of this much discussed, illappre-ciated and poorly enjoyed system. Much has already been said and written on thisall important subject, but as long as “Intelligence and virtue are the foun- datiou and cornerstones of the American Republic ;” as long as there are so many and so patent defects in our present edu- cational system (shall IT rather say lack of system ?); as long ur people continue so apathetic towards” the proper mental development of their children, no apolo- gy is needed for “line upou line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little.” To the valuable works on this subject by Northend and Phelps, credit is hereby given fur many of the ideas herein pre- sented aud their sentiments L shall use freely without further agkuowledment. First, let us consider THE IMPORTANCE of Common Schools. Too many, and among them some of our best citizens, are accustomed to speak disparagingly of them. Seeing their many defects under their present Working, they are ready to infer that the system per se is radically wong. These defects are not the fault of the theory, but of the application of the system. As long as universal suffrage prevails iu our midst ; as loug as our gov- ernment continues republican in form ; as long as itis the government of the people, for the people and by the people, so long must the common school, or The Peo- ple’s College,” as it has been fitly dubbed, continue a prime necessity of our land. The real strength and glory of a nation are to be sought and found in its uni- versally educated citizens. Aristotle says, “That the education of youth ought to form the pripciple part of the legislator’s attention, there can be no doubt, since education first molds and afterwards sus- tains the various formsof governmeut. The better and more perfect the system of ed- ucation, the better and) more perfect the plan of government it is intended to in- troduce and uphold.” We hope to see this grand en-| They ae especially important to us, because all the intellectual training of the large majority of our masses is reccived in the common school. This importance jhas been felt and appreciated by many of our best and wisest statesmen, | Edward Everett, when governor of Massachusetts, said: ‘Good eummon schools are the basis of every wise system of education ;” and toa vast majority of the American people they are uot only the basis but the superstructure and apex of the only system within their reach.. More than nineteen-twentieths of our children derive their sole educational ad- | vantages from the common schools. Dan- ‘icl Webster said: “If | had as many sons as Old Priam, I would send thei all to the public schools.” How, in the next place, is this importance estimated? Fig- ures are said not to lie. SCHOOL STATISTICS. By the last census (1870), the popula- tion of the United States, exclusive of children under ten years of age, Chinese and Indians, was 29,636,864. Of this num- ber, the number of illiterates, or persons unable to read and write, was 5,643,534. The meaning of which is that over one- titth of the population above ten years old are unable to read or write. Vhe population of North Carolina at that time was 1,071,000, of whom 338,000 could not read, and 379,000 could not write, and the most of these were white persons. ‘The meaning of this is, that in North Carolina over ouc-tliird cannot read and write. For instracting this 1,071,000 people we find in existence about 2,400 schools and au equal number of teachers, or one school and teacher to over 400 in- habitants and of this unmber we natural- ly may expect to find, as we do, about 125 who cannot read and write. Hence the importance, not only of the public schools, but of some radical changes in its present mode of operating, and this leads us by an easy transition to speak of some of the defects of our present public school system, and to suggest some possible rem - edies therefor ; ull of which ’twill be best to reserve for another article. M. _—__— The Reunion Movement. Mr. Epitor: I think no citizen of Salisbury feels a deeper interest in the welfare and prosperity of our town, our county, our State, or our country than Ido. Iam at ailtimes ready and willing to contribute a part of iy time and limited means to the advancement of the business interests of Salis- bury. I see by posters and newspaper notice that it is proposed to have a grand reunion of Confederate soldiers at this place some time this fall, and to ex- tend invitations to leading men who were officers of high rank in the Confederate service to be present On that occasion. This would certainly be a most ieasant and agreeable affair. No citizen would be iter pleased than the humble writer to shake hands with his old fellow soldiers, the scar worn veterans of the late war; nor would any citizen reap a greater profit from so large a concourse of people. But there arises in my mind a question of the propriety of the thing. Is it wise? will it be prudent? Wemust remember that in less than twelve months we will be in the midst of one of the most heated polilical contests that this country has ever witnessed. Two great parties are to make a tremendous struggle for the ascendancy. Already the great political chaldron is. sine: . Candi- datés for national office are coming to the front.

His army is broken up, the nation is dispersed, and the king is a fugitive. Zululand will probably be divided into three or four seperate prin- cipalities, each under the rule of an inde- pendent noble.

London, August 4.--Special dispatches from South Africa agree that the capture of Cetywayo is all important, because as long as he is free he will remain the ‘cen- tre of conspiracy and mischief. Gen. Woolsley, however, has no intention of pursuing him with Brittish troops as the nature of the country renders such a course impracticable. His policy, rather, is to stir up the neighboring tribes against the king. Agents have been sent to Swazies and Amatonzas with the object in view, and five thousand cattle have weu offered to Oham if he will capture lis brother. Gen. Woolsley has sam moned all the native chiefs to meet him at Emangweni, July 19th, to hear the fi- hal terms of the settlement. A _ flying columu has started for that place to pre- pare for the meeting and Gen.

The history of religious persecutions in this country’ has never been fully aud fairly written. The two States that were most intolerant of religious belief were Massach ygetfs aud Virgiuia. Many Bap- List preachers during the second half of the last century langujshed jn Virginia prisons because they dared to exercise soul-ljberty and to preach the blessed Gospel of the Sunef God. Patrick Henry was their fast friend. He not only se- cured the liberation of oue devout minis- ter who had been in jail for five mouths, but he paid the jail fees. “fr. Wm. Wirt Henry, a grandson of the great Revolutionary orator, furnishes ‘the Richmond fieligious Herald with an interesting account of the persecutions of Baptists in Virginia and the conduct of his illustrious grandfather. It was Patrick Henry who secured the great doctrine of religious liberty as a part of the Virginia Bill of Rights. Mr. W. W. Henry says “it is.impossible to estimate the benefit which have been secured to our country by this act of Mr. Henry.” He says fur- ther, aud with simple justipe, that “had Mr. Henry done nothing else, he would have richly deserved the lasting gratitude of Christendom.” Mr. Henry did nof stop here. It was he who insisted that the Federal Cgnstitution should be amended before its adoption by Virginia, so as to secure religious liberty to all. It was through him that this was iucluded in the amendment. It 18 interesting to know that North Carolina was ylways “‘freest of the free,” as Bancoft says. Our people for two hun- dred years would not brook religious in- toleraneé. Whenever ‘attempted it was sure to greate a storm. When the Con- stitution of the United States had to be ratified by the Colonies, North Carolina Was the last but one to place her signa- ture ty the Great Indenture. Our people were afraid of sume of its provisions, and 43 time has shown, justly so. Mr. W. W. Ifenry says that in regard to religious liberty North Carolina not only insisted upon ap amendment to the Constitation guaranteping this grest principle of free- men, but he ‘says she went even further— ‘she refused to ratify the Constitution till it was amended to suit her.” We quote from the grandson : ‘The consequence was, that the United aites Ggustiiution Wgs amended goon. af- ter Its adoption, and the first of the amend- ments secured: religious ‘liberty. Thus we ure directly indebted tg Mr. Henry for placing this vreat right on the most se- cure fyundatiou it was pessible ty put it du our system of government,' That it Will remain upon its firm foundation uu- shaken, so loug as Americans are fit to be free, nobe' can doubt. Nor can: jt ‘be be- lieved that America will ever cease ‘to be free so long as religious liberty is cherish- ed in the hearts of her people and is guar- ded by her coustitution of government. — Civil aud religious liberty will exist, or will perish, together.” : a a ‘The Milton Chronicle tells of a young au and lady ‘fidjag in a buggy, , wien the horse ran away, Ove of the lines broke aud the yetug man climbed gut, got ou the horwe’s bagk, aud broaght him tu a halt.

Remarkable Cure of Scrofula, &. CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON, KINGSTON, Ga., September 15, 1871. GENTS :—For sixteen years | have been a great suf- ferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for fifteen years with secrofulous ulcerations. The most ap- proved remedies for such cases had been used, and the must eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. ‘hus prostrated, distressed, de- sponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd Cour - ty, Ga., to commence the use of your Compound Ex- tract Stillingia. Language is as insulficient to de- scribe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stil- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate ideu of the tn- tensity of ny suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of Stillingia, until I can say truly, “I am cured of all pain,” of all dis- eases, With nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any 1e- turn of the disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are ac- quainted with me, Ishall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, Your obedient servant, J.C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law. A MIRACLE. WEST POINT, GaA., Sept. 16, 1870. GENTS ;—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, With What was supposed to be Acute Kheumatism, and was treated for the same with no suceess. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that 1 have continued the use of it until the present.

The high figures for May, 1879, result largely from the in- cluded special tax on license paid during , the month, which brings into the treas- | ury about $1,000,000, making May al- | Ways au exceptional mouth in this regard. | Then the fact that the tax was to be , lowered on May Ist interfered with the sales from the time of its agitation in | Congress, which was io January last, the | taxes for February, March and April aggregating only $6,805,000, or slightly _less than for May alone. This large in- crease immediately following the redue- _tion of the tax, was natural, but the con- tinned large revenues for June are less | easy of explanation save on the basis of , large consumption, due to the natural growth of population and to the greater cheapness of the article, making the col- , lection of the tax much easier and more ' effective. RE Tirep.—There appeared a white wom- an and her daughter, about fifteen years | of age, at the county clerk's office yester- | day, who had come to ascertain if a certain marriage license had been return- (ed to his office by one Rev. Walker, a | colored minister, living some five miles from the city. Theclerk told the mother it had. She seemed to regret it, as her | daughter present was the bride of four days, and had become tired of married life, and thought if the license had not been returned that the whole affair would have been null and void. The clerk in- ‘formed her that it made no difference in jlaw. The uneducated woman seemed jastonished at the announcement. She | then wanted to know how they could be unmarried, averripg that this honeymoon | had been very brief, the bride not having lived with the greom one hour sinee the knot was ticd. The clerk asked the mother of the bride if she did uot give her consont, and she replied no; that she ‘just told them to clear out and do as they | pleased about it. The bride evidently | was sick of the bargain; as she was very | pale. ‘How can she be unmarried ? ‘asked the distressed mother-in-law. The ‘clerk replied that she would have to sue for a divorce, but a better plea than being tired would have to be made.— Jacksonville Union. | - SO The number of prisoners in the jail /was brought up to thirty-three yesterday. —Char.

P, if e — f * * In the present election there are still someRadical” candidates, and some Independent ones; the re- sult of the eléction remains to be seen. In this State, also, the blacks have two or three malitia companies, but they are deterred from forming more by the expense. In the present Con- gress there is only one Republican from the State, a white man, He was formerly Governor of the State, and was well liked, but I understand that he is ‘not-to be re-elected. The blacks bave put up candidates of. their own, and are likely to elect a black man if they do not lose the seat by a division among themselves, for two blacks are opposing one another; one of them is said to have been a West Indian. In the mountain regions the white peo- ple seem now to be generally Demo- crats, General Vance, the Governor’s brother, is not opposed there. * * The roads are very bad; apparently there are no metalled roads in all the State, only the common earth roads made by the labor of the people them- selyes, and very indifferently made. The town of Raleigh is, as usual, very scattered with broad streets quite unpaved, and a good deal of orna- mental ground about the houses. Tie population of the place is about 12, 000. The Capitol is a fine building, in a commanding situation. I noticed a very large lunatic Asylum, and there seemed to be a good many other in- stitutions, There are many whisky shops, and a good many churches, The cotton market is very busy, the general market seems well suppli- ed. The most common fish in these parts are what are called sea-trout, but I do not think they are our sea-trout, they do not seem very good. I am told that in the streams in the hill- country there is very abundant trout fishing. Jn the evening I went out to take tea with old Mr. D——, who has a very pretty place, with a very nice house, beautiful grounds and a most pleasant family. All the arrange- ments seemed simple and unpretend- ing, but very nice and comfortable. “= Mr. , kindly arranged for me a little trip into the country to see the farmers. The land generally seemed to be the light red soil which I have before meutioned, undulating with much wocd about, Cotton is by far the principal cultivation. [thought it certainly not so highly cultivated a crop as the cotton I had seen in Egypt, but in many fields there are this year very good crops, from three-quarters to one bale per acre. We met many men with carts bringing in produee, some white and some black; they seem very much ov an equality. On the roads of the fown I saw white and black men working together. I no- ticed that the favorite amusement with the negro boys seems to be to drill as mock soldiers, with sticks and flags and wooden muskets. I visited Mr. T , bead of the Shaw Institue, a college maintained by Northern subscription to educate black teachers. ‘The buildings are good and it seenis a successful insti- tue. Mr? says his pupils turn out well. He is a. Bostonian, served in the war, and is now rather bitter in his political talk. He takes a gloomy view of the prospects of the blacks, and is much in favor of their going to Liberia. He has a bad opinion of the present State government, but a worse opinion of the carpet-bag and negro politicians. He says the negro mem- bers of the present Assembly are ras- cals,asare also their candidates for Con- gress. He would rather vote for a Democrat than for any of them, He has some building work going on; the master mason is a black, and two white men are among the workmen ; but this is an exceptional case, and could not ordinarily occur. He thinks the blacks are rather slow in intellect and deficient in enertprise, but they are otherwise good—many of them are very religious, but many others have little idea of the Christian religion. * * Tspent the Sunday here. In the morning I went te a black church, ee en “ ryan a * at but was very unfortunate, as there had been some division among the congn gation, and the place tended. In the evening I found a better congregation at another church. The preacher was.very loud, emphat- ic, and-earnest, but there was not! ve- ry much cohesion in what he eaid— the singing was good. I went out with Mr, B—— to see a large vineyard that he has started. He makes very fair wine, but only the native American vines sueceed— the French vines have quite failed— blight greatly affects them and other fruit trees. ; This does not seem te be much of a fruit coantry. I am surprised to see how little ex- citement there is in regard the con- tested election, which is to take place the day after to-morrow. ‘There are no placards and few signs of a strug- gle going on. Next day I started for Salisbury, a place in this State, considerbly to the west. The country is still undu- lating with a mixture of wood and cultivation. We came to the district where tobacco is largely grown, and stopped some time at Durham, the centre of the tobacco manufacture. I had an opportunity of going over one of the factories—in fact, one of the largest manufacturies in the United States. They also manufacture what is called snoff, but it is not really ta- ken as snoff; it ischewed. They tell me that a fine quality of this snuff is very much used by American ladies, who put it in their mouth on the pre- text of its being good for the teeth, but they really chew it, and so con- sume large quantities. I never could get any one to admit this practice, but so said the manufacturers. Here, al- so, almost all the work is done by blacks, but certain departments, name- ly: the weighing and finishing off the packages, are exclusively in the hands of white men. Employers never can trust the blacks with anything which requires careful attention and accura- cy. I stopped at Haw River to see the cotton mills there. They carry out the whole process of manufacture, from cleaning the cotton as it comes, loose from the fields. to the manufac- ture of the cloth and the dying of it, in the same, not very large establish- ment. The mills are worked by wa- ter power, as is always the case in this part of the country. They claim that they have a better climate in the South, with less extremes of heat and cold, and they have great advantages, they say, not only in the saving of the carriage of the cotton, but also in that they are saved the serious ex pense of packing it. Their labor, too, is cheaper than that in the North. Here I went out to see the farm of Mr. B—,a New Jersey man, who has established a farm of six hundred aeres, principally with the object of breeding horses. The road, as usual, I find detesta- ble, but Mr. B says the New Jer- sey roads are good ; they have a good gravel soil there. Pastures and cat- tle-breeding have been somewhat neg- lected in these Southern States, and he hopes to show them the way to im- prove. He is strong on the excellence of the climate here, about 800 feet above the.sea. The thermometer does not usually rise ‘above 80 degrees, and the winters are mild aud good.— ‘There seems to be no doubt that there is a great change in the winter climate as one passes South through Virgin- ia into the Carolinas and Georgia. 1 had met in the train an old Scotchman, Mr. M , who had been upwards of forty years in this State. Mr. M very kindly insisted on taking me to his house at Salisbury, where I was most comfortably accom- modated. In the morning we walked about the town, which seemed a nice, rural place. Mr. M ’s wife is al- so a New Englander, but they are all now thoroughly Southern in feeling, both as to the war and as to the ques- tion of glavery. According to Mr. M the Northerners were the first slave-holders, and when they found that slaves were not profitable proper- ty in the North they sold them South and went in for abolition, In the war the North Carolina people did not go Pg Ne aR. 2 PR Me de gt ey gerbes was thinly at-| Usages to which i by the Northern srmies..

The Wilmington Star states that the law has operated very badly in the Criminal Court of New Hanover, which meets six times in ayear. The same paper also states that some of the lawyers are dis- posed to construe the law as applying only to Superior Courts, but the court could not seeitin that way, claiming with a majority of the other lawyers that the terms of the law were too explicit to ad- mit of such a view of its requirements. The same difficulty will doubtless be ex- perienced here in the Inferior Court, but then the law rids the courts of the pro- fessional juror,—Charlotte Ob. ee All on His Head. Puring one of the very hot days last week, one of our very baldest citizens put into ‘his hat a writing which ‘had just been drawn off, put the hat on his head apd walked up street, Stopping after some little time ata store, he sat down, took’ off his jint and began to fan him- belf. The: paper, however, adhered to his skating rink, and he had to pall it off like a man drawing off a poroas plaster. One of the young wen in the store, pass- ing the -ventleman & momént later, was attragted: bythe ‘off-svloring of the top of his head,. and stopped te look at it. He read thereon. a perfect capy of the paper-whieh the ali ntan then held in hig hand;. Attentiom was strictly called to the matter and ‘one person after anoth- er pa byand! came in and went throygh, and ‘all’ stopped a momept, While.the citizen ¢onversed in a vigorous nianner'abdnt something or ofhey, and read the note on the top of his head and wondered—who did those who did hot pnderstand fhlly—who in the world had been scribbljny:an the top of ——'s head. But the young clerk who had first dis- govered the joke, knew what was the matter,but hgdidn't giveit away tothesnb- ject whp wetit off down street by and by, with the note in his hat, a copy of it on his head’ and ‘another copy probably in iv. " But though this matter has served for a joke it also dethoilitrates a new prin- ciple in the realm of Utilitarianism, and the moral js that eyery mat can, by shaving his head, become his own letter press.—Charlotte Observer. —- o~wme — --_ Rev.

Last year when the epidemic was raging in Memphis, among the Gircinnati physi- ciang w)jo tendered their services and lives to Health Officer Minor was young Dr. Col- lins of this city, an unusually’ bright and intellectual man,.who. was’ making a pre- carious living at hjs practice, not through lack of ability, for of. that. he had abund- ance; but’ frem:the lack of patients. His services, together with five others, were accepted, and:on a certain evening they all went to the. Ohio and Mississippi Railrogd depat to4ake the 9:30 train tor the South. “Young Collins, in taking leave of the health officer, who had gone down to see the liftle band off, said: *Doctor,I will either make a reputation ‘in “Memphis or never came home again.” He arrived in the city and reporting to the Howard Asso- ciation for duty, was given an assignment in a part of the town where the disease was carrying people off by the scores. Among others that he attended was the family of a wealthy planter. He was suo- sickness, one of whom was a beautiful and intelligent young lady. Within a short time the doctor himself, worn down by unceasing labor, was. smitten with the scourge, and lay tossing feverishly in his small room. The young lady, hear- ing of the circumstance, went to the house aud nursed him tenderly through his il- ness. It is almost needless to say that by this time the youthful pair became mutually at- tached, a proposal aud acceptance followed, to which consent was unhesitatingly given by the parent. They were afterwards mar- ried, the father investing his new son-in-law with a har dsome interest in his large plan- tation. Dy. Collins is now one of the rising young physicians of Memphis, and is the efficient secretary of its board of health. ——___-_ ~a>—- “THe Wrath To Come.”"—The colored people of both the town and country have been for the past two weeks deeply stir- red up. in matters of relizion. ment in the colored Methodist and Bap- tist churches in town has been going on for days, and the fervor that prevuils has never been ptecedented. Hell and dam- nation have been portrayed to the im- mcuse congregations in such black and hideous terms, that some are even crazed in their efforts to ‘flee the wrath to come.” The mourners swoon at the alter, and re- ain wetionless and seemingly lifeless for hoyrs ata time, Two poor untortu- vate creytures are raving crazy.

If the seed is sown on poor soil early in the spring the growth of the plants will be very slow and 48 4 consequence the roots will be tough, stringy and rank flavor. If, on the contrary, “a rich, warm soil ig’ prepared. for them, . tlie seed soon after the cold spring rains are over and young plants cultiyated, as soon as they are of sufficient size the roots will-be juicy, crisp and of a nvtd and agreeable ~flavor. Untcss radishes have attained 4 sufficient size, for the table Withtn five weeks from the time the seed!’ is sown they will scarcely ‘be fit for eating.

After the nep he pursued his’ way'as much re- eaabed ‘as though “ethan slept: for hours. In 1836, while in the em- ploy ofthe East India Company, Mensen was charged with the eon- veying of dispatches from Calcutta to Constantinople through Central Asia. The distance is 5,615 miles, which the messenger accomplished in fifty- nine days, or in one-third of the time made by the swiftest caravan, At last he was employed to discover the source of the Nile. Setting out from Silesia on May 11, 1843, he ran to Jerusalem, and thence to Cairo, and up the western bank of the river into Upper Egypt. Here, just outside of Syang, he was seen to stop and rest, land where great attention is devoted Aeaning against a palm tree, his face to raising radishes, special pains are given to maturing them as quickly as possible. Sand, pulverized earth and fine well rotted manure are mixed together to form a soil, while the best temperature for hastening growth, is obtained by the employment of glass asin a hot’ bed. As the radish is al- most the only esculent root that is eaten raw, thera are apécial reasuns for raising it in such a manner as to ingute its being juicy and tender. But roeis that requires to be cooked be- fore they are eaten, as turnips, beets, parsnips and carrots, are superior al- most in proportion to the shortness of time in which they are raised, Iftur- nips and beets keep up a slow growth during several months they will be tongh and stringy, and the former will have a rank taste, Ifadrouth ocenrs during their period of growth, | these roots will be composed in part of fibre so hard that it will not be ren- dered sufficiently soft to be digested even If boiled for several hours.— Long cooking tends to destroy tlie flavorand outrient quatities ofall vege- tables. #The! quicker any ‘végetable a fon by boiliag, the better an utritions it witt be.— Vege- tables that have been grown quickly may be quickly cooked, and will ac- cordiigly be offine flavor and of great value for human or animal. foog. What is true’ of edible roots is also true of'those kinds of vegetables whose edible portions consist of statks, leaves, Head) bhd’dnd seeds. The quick- er asparagus, lettuce, cabbage, string beais, shell beans and peas are grown the more excellent they will be. Cab- bage which is quickly grown is crisp and of agreeable flavor,'and’ is deli- cious when eaten raw.in the. form of cold slaw. Ifit is slowly grown, however, it will be tough, of some- what rank ‘flavor, and a considerable amount of cooking will be required to render it digestible.— Thééxcel fence of green peas and beans largely depends on the shortness of time in which they are grown. The swect corn grown and eanned ina high northern Jati- tude'is preferred to that produced farther south, probably for the reason that it'ls matured more quickly, If green corn, peas and beans are quick- ly produced they may be readily cooked hy steaming, which is better that boiling as a means of preparing them for the table, as it extracts nana of the ‘soluble matter they con- tain. ee A (plebrated Runner, cDhe pedestrian feats of the present day, the, Boston Journal says, cast. inta the shade by the recorded exploits of Erngs$, Measen, a, Norwegian sailor in the English navy, early in the pres- ent century, Mensen first attracted attehtfon By running” “from” London to Portsmouth in nine hours, and soon after p tail from Yondon to Liyer- pool jn thirty-two hours, Having disti yished himself at the battle of Nawarino, in 1872, he left the navy and’ betame d professional runner.

The letter adds ; “Matter for Memphis, or otber places where express offices may be closed, will be taken to the nearest quarantine station, and there held subject to the order of consignees, un: til means can be provided for its de- liyery without violating the sanitary regulations adopted by State or municipal authorities. “Matter destined to points on the Mississippi river, south of Memphis, should be eant via Vicksburg or New Orleans, as circumstances may require. “It is to be hoped the fever will not sppead, but shogld it dao so, and become epidemic, this company, for the safety of its employees, and the protection of the public health, (by lessening the danger of contagion incident to intercourse with the infec- ted localities) will not undertake to operate its lines beyond the limits pre- scribed by quarantine regulations.” ee Racing With Fire. (ee Last week Mr. and Mrs. Robert Uffner and daughter drove from Frackville to Shenandoah, Schuylkill county, afl met with a terrible ad- ventyre. They had driven along for some distance when they discovered that the woods were on fire on both sides- ofthe rogd. After driving through the fire several hundred yards the smoke become so dense that the travelers were nearly suffucated, and they had to lie down in the wagon bed to prevent being smothered. The horses were urged forward and the race continued over the rough moun- tain road for a considerable distance, with the flames roaring on both sides and myriads of sparks falling in gnd about the wagon. Mrs. Uffuer’s dresa caught on fire, and her husband drop- ped the reins to assist her in extin- guishing it, when she fainted in his arms,, While he was endeavoring to bping his wife back tg consciousness the horses were tearing along at 9 break-neck speed, and the wagon swerved, jolted, and. syung around in anything but a comfortable manner. Mrs. Uftner became conscious ina few seconds, haweyer, and jyst then her husband saw a cloud of densg black smoke enveloping the road, and knew that they had reached the outskirts of the fire and were safe.

It will be remembered that some time ago the Board of Directors of the N-C.- Railroad sought the removal | of N. H. D. Wilson from the office of Trustee of the Sinking Fund of, that Road. Judge Kerr decided against the Buard of Direetors and re- fused to remove Mr. Wilson—from | that decision an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, aad the follow- ing is the opinion just delivered, by which it will beseen that Judge Kerr’s decision has been reversed : By Smith, C.

Wilson, from Orange— error.— The Ratlroad Company in ex- ecuting a mortgage upon its Road provided by the mortgage deed for a sinking fund and appointed a trustec, with provision that if said trustee, er any trustee thereafter appointed, “should die, or resign, or become in- capable or unfit to act in the said trust, a successor to such trustee shall be appointed,” ete. The original trus- tee having died, the defendant was appointed trustee, but becoming in- solvent and it appearing that he had invested a portion of the trust fund ina private banking firm in which he was a partner and which had like- the Board of Directors having in vain requested wise become insolvent, said trustee to resign, removed him and appointed the plaintiff Graham.

But after all it is a difficult matter and one sometimes forgets that flowers have their affinities and preferences, as well asthe human race. Above all give them room and not crowd them. When flowers are massed heavily to- gether all lose their beauty. I saw an arrangement of flowers yesterday where two lovely day lilies that would have been beautiful if grouped alone ina slender vase with a few ferns or greeu spires, but whose effect was ruined by being put inthe cen- ter of a mass of fark-spurs and com- mon garden flowers. The common flowers only looked the more com- mon in contrast with the lilies, and the lilies looked as though caught in very coaree company. For vases and bouquets of any sort there should be plenty of white for the foundation. When stemless flow- ers are used, like a tuberose ora single geranium, stems can be made by putting the ends inside of straws and then wiring it in: when arranged in the bouquet the straw cannot be seen, but the flowers can be kept fresh by absorbing the water. A pret- tv arrangement is to take a spike of scarlet gladiolus, with its brilliant coloring, arrange it with feathery grasses and gleams of white fever few here and there, and you will havea lovely spot of coloring for some dark corner. Again, petunias and morn- ing glories are difficult to combine with any flower, but give them a wide mouthed vase and a few leaves and they are positively graceful. Al] lilies I think are prettiest if no otb- er flowers are mixed with them. For small vases a very good way is to clip them off and put them in carelessly as they come, then they will look natural ; too much arrange- ment often spoils the looks of a vase of flowers. For either hand or vase bouquets do not put too many colors together. ee eee No Smoking in Here. ‘‘You can’t smoke in here,” said a John street conductor to a countryman who was pulling away vigorously at The art of Bouquet Making. aes ! present eapital of the Gifferent Roths- child houses is at least $500;000,000, ty penny.

I have used this cover- ing for more than fifteen years, and am satisfied that without this safe- guard I would not be able to save any considerable portion of my annual | crop from destruction by insects. Un- der this covering, the grapes have fully ripened and hung long after- wards on the vines until wanted. About seven years ago a very large collection of grapes that had been pro- tected with paper bags was exhibited at the Louisville Fair. These grapes were very clear and translucent, and only slightly colored. The darkest kinds of red grapes had only a light pink tinge, and no person could tell what kind any of them were by their appearance. The paper bag had evi- dently excluded the sunlight and caused the grapes to mature without attaining their natural color. The flavor, too, was insipid and watery. The contrast between these and the rich colors of the grapes exhibited from my vineyards caused the judges who awarded premiums, to decide that the netting was a better eovering than paper bags. rrr cr DeatH AT A Camp MEETING.-— Baltimore, Augpst 2.—A special from Lidwood, Maryland, where a camp- meeting of the “Church of God” is in progress, says a startling scene was enacted at the alter yesterday morn- ing.

Third —Never use an ordinary lantern in a spout or bin where there is a draught of air carrying dust with it. One end lantern should not be placed in such a locality if it can be possibly avoided, and, if absolutely necessary, a light with a fine wire gauze would be much safer. ‘ » 2 A review of the lives of the differ- t Presidents of the United States is Tyler and Yan Buren both n 1875.

The land hasa clay subsoil about twel¥e ifichés below the surface, and was in ordinary condition, About the let. of January, 1878, the land was broken up with a two-horse plow about ten ‘inches. This plow was followed ‘by a’sabsoi) plow run in the same furrow as deep as one mule could pull it. These two plowings broke up the land thorogghly, fifteen inches in depth. On or about the first of February, one hundred bush- els of cotton seed and an equal amonnt of stable manure, composted, wadspread upon the land. These manures were plowed in, about six inehes in depth, On the first of March, the land was’ Jaid off as fol- lows; Ovie-half acre was laid off in twé and three feet rows alternately ; about seventy-five bushels of cotton seed were placed in the drill and a light furrow turned on it, The corn was then planted in the drill, about twelve inches apart. After the corn came up, it was thinned ont to two stalks inthe hill. After this, the corn received common ordinary culti- vation given to corn in this country exeeptthat it was cultivated with sweeps, and was plowed rather shal- low, ‘The other half acre was eolti- vated in the same way, except that the land was Iaid off in rows three feet apart. About the time the corn was shooting to tassel, there was a severe drouth, that continued for five weeks, which did not seem to affect the Gorn In the least, Sometime in September the corn was harvested from the two different lots and weigh- ed. The result of the first half acre was seventy-five bushel of shelled core, weighing sixty pounds to the bushel. The second half acre yielded fifty-five bushels, making a total for the whole acre of 130 bushels of corn. =~ Fallahassee Floridian. — Plant Turajps.

Recently the passénger train south itself right offthe rails. She was run- ning so fast the noise of the wheels was rattJing slong about two hundred yards behind the trein, doing its level best to keep in sight but losing ground every jump. Suddenly the train stopped. Away out between sta- tions, no cattle on the track, no water tank in sight, nothing apparently to stop for, She pulled up so close to an orchard that the farmer came out and sat on the fence with a gun in his hand and a couple of bold, bad dogs, looking deveitfully pleasant, tagging along at his heels, He evidently didu’t care about setting up the apples. The passengers were alarmed, not at the determined, neutrality of the farmer but at the sudden stoppage of the train. ‘They knew something serious had happened. Presently the fire- man came walking down alongside the track, looking carefully, as though he had dropped his diamond ring out of the cab window, ‘What is it? asked the first passen- ger. ‘What is the matter?’ asked the se- cond passenger, ‘What has happened ? asked the third passenger. ‘What is broke?’ asked the fourth passenger. ‘Why did westop?’ asked the fifth. ‘What’s up?’ asked the sixth pas- senger. ‘What’s broke loose?’ asked the seventh passenger. ‘What done it?’ asked the eight passenger. ‘Broke a spring hanger,’ grave- ly replied the fireman, and pass- ed on, and all the questioning passen- gers drew their heads back and closed their windows, and with great gravity was repéated the fireman’s statement to the other passengers who had not besy able to get toa window in time to ask the fireman anything; ‘Broke a spring hammer,’ ‘Reoke a sling hgmmer.’ ‘Broke a screen hanger,’ ‘Broke a string hammer.’ ‘Broke a string ander.’ ‘Broke a scene hanner.’ ‘Broke a steam hammer.’ ‘Broke a swing hanger.’ We all sj pposed that when 4 spring hanger broke, it just tore the engine all to pieces, stood it on end and ram med it into the ground, and then ran on ahead tore up the track, set fire to a bridge and blew up aculvert. The average passenger has an idea that a spring hanger owns about the whole engine that it is one uf those things that can evenswear ata brakeman gnd walk u>toa baggageman and call bima ‘wooden headed, flat backed, trunk liftin’ hurricane of wrath,’ and conse- quently when 9 passenger is told that the spring hanger broke, he hasan impression that it will take every Jast dollar there is on the train to set the old thing up again, ge A Phase of City Life. A bright-Jooking boy, twelve years old, who said his name was Tommy MoEvoy, went alone into the Jeffer- son Market polige court last evening and said to Justice Morgan; ‘Judge, your honor, I want to give myself up,’ ‘Why, my boy ?’ asked the court. ‘Because,’ replied the Jad, I hain’t got no home, and I don’t want to live in the streets and become a bad boy.’ ‘Why don’t you stay at home ?’ ‘T ain’t got no home. Fathey’s been dead nine years, and mother died before that,’ ‘But where have yon been living since? ‘With my aunt. She lives in Forty-first street.—But she gets drank.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver, pas in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. ‘The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part, ‘There ig generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having Icft undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. ‘The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily - startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough ta try it, Jn fact, he distrusts every remedy, feveral of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, a‘ter death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

People aro getting acquainted—and those who are not ought to be—with the wonderful merits of that great American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri- ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil dren. Its fame has been spreading for $% years, until now it cnceircles the habitable globe, The Mexican Mustang Liniment is a matehless remedy forcllexternel ailments of man and beast. To stock owncrs end farmers it is invaluable. A single bot‘le often saves a human life or re- stores tho uscfulness of an excellent horse, ox cow, orshecn, It curcs foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub, screw-worm, shoulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It curcs every externzl trouble of horses, such as lamencs3, scratches, swinny, sprains, founders, wind-gall, ring-hone, ctc., ¢te. The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickess cure in the world for <ccidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, ete., and for rheuma- tism, and stiffncss engendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Miners. It is the chcapest remedy in the world, for it penetrates the muscle to the bone, and a single plication is generally sufficjent to cure.

TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO AND NOW. ‘Ireneus,” in his letter from New Englaud which we publish this week, makes mention of an instance of treachery and cruelty tu the aborigines of the coun- try that occarred two hundred yegrs ago, and suggests that it might almost be watched from Some philanthropic gentlemen are vow visiting the Eastern States tu obtain funds to en- able the Ponca Indians of Nebraska to carry up av appeal to the United States Supreme Court for the redress of wrongs that are not only almost but altogether equal to anything that occurred two cen- turiesago. Read the following story of their treatment by white men, as told by Mr. Tibbies of Omaha, at Boston, last week : modern history. “The Poncas owned the reservation on Whieh they had always resided as far back as any history voes, and it had been confirmed to them by three separate treaties of the United States. They were 4 peaceable tribe, who had never been at War with the United States. They were advaceed in civilization, and had church- 8, schools, good houses and cultivated farms. “The Indian ring saw achance to make two or three hundred thousand dollars by Temoving the tribe to the Indian Terri- tory and robbirg them. They got an or- der from some authority at Washington for commissioners to go out there and in- duce the tribe to give up their lands and 80 to the Indian Territory. The Poncas teolntely refused.

When they arrived they found that these scoun- -drels had told the tribe that their ebiefs had signed the treaty, aid hind the people ready te march. Every scheme having failed, the next recourse of these fellows was to call on the government for troops.

The old methods of doing business are fast passing away, and whether the change is for the better or not, those who wish to achieve success must abandon the old and fall into the new. A revolu- tion has been wrought in sach matters, and the old methods are daily becoming obsolete. One hundred thousand com- mercial agents or drummers are now em- ‘ployed to travel the leugth and breadth and the troops are sent there ander their ; of the country in the interest of their em- ployers, and in this fast age no one, un- less be holds a monopoly of some good thing, can afford to wait for customers, so great is the competition in every line or branch of business.

A squad of sol- | diers came to return them to the Indian | Territory. Standing Bear simply said | that if the government ordered hia to go back and die he would have to go. But it would be better for his people if they were all ordered out-to be shot at once rather than stay where they were. They brought Standing Bear_to Omaha, and when they got there I sued out a writ of habeus corpus, and this proved to be the first time in the history of this nation that an Indian was allowed to come into court. Judge Dundy, after fully hearing the case, said that he had been on the beuch seventeen years aud nothing had ever before appealed to his sympathy as this case had done. He ordered the ab- solute discharge from military custody of Standing Bear and those with him, about thirty in all. Now, then, it is thought that a suit brought to recover this Ponca reservation to that tribe will, without the slightest doubt, be successful if car- ried to the Supreme Court.—New York Observer. _>——_—_— The Sand Blast. Among the wonderful and usefal in- ventions of the times is the common sand blast. Suppose you desire to letter a piece of marble; you cover the _ stone with a sheet of wax no thicker than a wafer, then cut in the wax the inscription desired. Now pass it under the blast and the wax will not be injured at all, but the sand will cut the letters deep into the stone. Or if you desire raised letters, a flower or other emblem, cnt the letters, flowers, ete., in wax and stick them upon the stone; then pass the stone under the blast, and the sand will cut it away. Remove the wax and you have the raised letters. Or take a piece of French plate glass, say two feet by six, and cover it with fine lace; pass it under the blast, and not a thread will be injured, but the sand will cut deep into the glass wher- ever it is nut covered by the lace. Now remove the lace and you have every delicate and beautiful figure raised upon the glass. In this way beautiful figures of all kinds are cut in glass, and at a small expense. The workmen can_ hold their hands under the blast without harm, even when it is rapidly cutting away the hardest glass, iron or stone, but they must look out for finger nails, for they will be whittled away right hastily. Wrap a piece of soft cotton around the nails, and they are safe. The sand whit - tles away and destroys any hard sub- stance, even glass, but does not affect substances that ave soft and yielding, like wax. cotton or fine lace, or even the hu- man hand. —_~--- — . They seem to make nothing of tunnel- ing the mountains in Europe. The Mont Cenis tunnel, nearly eight miles long, has been in use several years, aud the St. Gothard tannel, nearly as long, is almost completed. Last week we had accounts of a projected tunnel under the Simplon Pass of- the Alps, and this week a dis- patch states that the Emperor Francis Joseph, as well as the Austrian govern- meut, has expressed approval of the scheme for connecting the Austrian and Swiss railways by a tunnel through Mount Arlberg, Rhetian Alps, of the most work by the least machinery.” ——— REMARKABLE ACCIDENT To A HORSE.— Yesterday afternoon a heavy fall anda great racket was heard in the livery sta- bles of G. W. Zecher. Mr. Zecher and some of his men ran to ascertain what was the matter, and were not a little as- tonished to find one of the horses belong- _ing to the Adams Express Company lying down with one of its hind feet wedged iu its mouth. It required the united strength of several men, using levers, to pry the horse’s mouth open wide enough to get the foot out, and Lefore they succeed in doing it two of the horse’s teeth were knocked out. The brute would have strangled to death had he not been promply relieved ; and it was nearly halt an hour before he could rise to his feet. It is supposed that the horse threw his foot forward in striking ot the flies, and at the Same time threw his head back- ward, biting at them, thus opening his mouth, and “puttiong his foot in it.” The entire hoof was in the horse’s mouth, the teeth being sunk into the flesh above the hoof almost, if not altogether, to the bone. Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer, July 28th. ——— The erection of Hickory's fifth tobacco factory will soon commence. It is a great piece of folly fora man to be always ready to meet trouble half way. If he would put all the journey on trouble, he might never meet it at all. A mixture eomposed of one part of pow- dered borax and two parts of powdered sugar sprinkled upon the floor where cock- roaches frequent, will soon eradicate them. Christianity. means to the merchant that he should be honest; to the jadge it means that he should be just; to the ser- vant, that he should be faithful; to the school-boy, that he should be diligent ; to the street-sweeper, that he should sweep clean; to every worker, that his work shall be well done.

The Roman Catholic hierarchy of France do pot succeed so well in govern- ing the government under the Republic as under a monareby or the Empire. The French Senate having hesitated to pass the anti-Jesuit clause of the new Educa- tion bill, the majority in the Chamber of Deputies abstained from voting on the estimate for the salaries of the bishops, leaving the house withouta quorum. The majority of the French Legislature really appears disposed to make trial of dispen- sing with Jesuit control. The Fall River, Mass., Vers relates the following as a fact: ‘Two men were con- versing about the strife the other day, when one of them, a mule-spinner, re- marked that he had been in twenty-six strikes during his lifetime. ‘ Well,” said the other, “did you ever make anything by it 2” “Not once,” was the reply ;: ‘lost every time.” And yet the men who have regular employment and reasonable wa- ges are willing to follow the advice of in- terested leaders and throw away a certainty and get nothing in its place.

J. D, Ese LIN, - ‘There’s some sort off furrin body at the door wantin’ ye, ?ma’any” ‘said: an Irish girl to her mistress : There had been already half a dozen ‘furrin’ and other sort of ‘bodies’ asking favors that dy; and the lit- tle lady of the hons@ was weary, and had Jain down on a lounge in her own room with a new book in her band. ‘Tell her I am lying down and bring up her message,’ she said without taking her eyes from hér book. The girl soon returned, . saying, ‘It’s work she’s wantin,’ like .all the rest uv em ma’am; but I can’t: re- pate half the gibberish she tould me to.’ ‘Tell herI have no work, and know of none elsewhere,’ was the ans- wer. The door closed heavily under the hand ofthe heartless girl; and the lady felt that she had done wrong, and almost heard the words, ‘For ye yourself know the heart ofa stran- ger. And the days came back to her with strange power, when she, a voung and beautiful orphan, had crossed the sea from England to gain her bread by her accomplishments ; and she remembered how, after only one year of toil and loneliness, when a kind word wasas a jewel toher, she became mistress of this beautiful home, and the mother of the lonely little ones who had been her pupils before. She wished she had seen this ‘furrin sort of a body’ and listened to her story, if nothing more, and cheered ‘the heart of a stranger.’ As the poor applicant descended the steps, after receiving the cool message, made cooler by the ser- vant’s heartless tone, she looked up the street and then down, as if not knowing which way to go; and then moved off in an aimless sort of way, and was soon lost to sight. She went up one street and down another, occassionally ringing ata bell, only to be told that the lady was out, or that she could not be seen. She was a stranger in the city, and soon got confused in her wanderings ; but she knew the street and number of her temporary home. She was weary at last with her ringing and inquiring, and asked a boy the way to H street. He directed her, and she turned her face thither, when she was seized with a sudden impulse to ring one more bell. Ascending the long flight of stone steps before her, she did so, and was not a little surprised to see the same stern, cold woman who had_ repulsed her an hour ago—miles away as she thought. Before she could frame a question, she was saluted with ‘What! are ye back again, after the lady tellin’ ye to be gone, that she had neither work | nor charity for ye! Avd I tell ye—' ape 2 # ‘Catherine,’ called the lady, who had heard the heartless words, *I want to see that woman in my roon. Send her up.’ “She’s the very same furriner ye sent away an hour ago, ma’am; she’s just persistin’ on yer helpia’ her whether ye will or no,’ said the wo- man. ‘Send her up, Catherine,’ was the soft reply from above. And, not a little crestfallen, Cathe- rine pointed the way upstairs without a word. The lady was surprisied to see, in plave of the rough creature she had pictured to herself, a well-developed girl of twenty years, with cheeks like roses, teeth like pearls, and with a flood of golden hair which the proud- est belle might envy—a buxom, rus- tic beauty. ‘Well, my girl, what can I do for you ? asked the lady kindly. ‘You gives me vork; I does it good for smal! moneys. J valk, valk, all days, four veek, and ask much lady yill she give me vork. But no vork yet! When passage is paid, I has twelve dollars, and I pays Lud- vig Anderson wife two dollars veek, and vash and irons and sews for my home till I has vork. Now six veek gone, money gone, sleep gone; Lud- vig sick, and must vork hard for his yife, and J cap no more eat his bread for no pay. I talks some yery good Anglish, cause I know girl in Sveden who had been five. years in .’Merica ; and more I learn on ship, and of ’Merican, family in home vith, Ludvig Anderson ; sv ladies have ‘no trouble with my Svede talk. ‘What can you do? asked the lady. : ‘All things. I'spins and weaves this gown and shawl and all my clothes. I can sew for queens ; I can kit stock- in’, vash good, makes breads, ‘cooks dinner, all, all things for few moneys, I good to little childs and always smiles!’ I do all the cry nights, when ’lone;? and her voice broke as if she was breaking this rule for once, girl?” asked the lady. ‘Oh, lady, Sveden so far, far away; my von brother so long gone to sea; my mother so sick, and so hopes I vill send her money and some days bring her tome. But I get no vork, and moneys all gone, My moth- er pray, pray to God, and myself pray all the time; but no vork, and no friend only Ludvig from my place, and he sick and poor. Sveden minis- ter hore, give me good paper for hon- est, God-loving girl.’ And she handed her recommenda- tions from a clean envelope, which was wrapped carefully ina snowy handkerchief. ‘You may come to me to-morrow and stay for a week, and if you are a good seamstress I will get you all the work you can do,’ replied the lady kindly, after reading the ‘good paper.’ Selma droped a low courtesy, kiss- ing the lady’s hand, and said solemn- ly : ‘God —He thank you; my sick mother, she thank you; and myself thank you.’ ‘How strange,’ thought the lady, after Selma had gone to tell her joy to Ludvig’s wife, “that no one en- gaged her before I saw her. Who could withstand her innocence and her beauty ? = There was good reason why no one had lightened the poor girl’s burden befure. No lady had seen her! All had left it to the judgment of weary or thoughtless servants to decide whom they should see, and who they should not! When Selma had been a week in this house she was found to be a necessity there. No one could sew and darn like her; no one could 80 gently and tenderly wash and dress the poor little invalid boy of the house; no one could charm away a headache or sing a baby to sleep as she could. Another helper had not been dreamt of in the house; but once Selma was there, life took on new charms fur the whole family. Home grew brighter for the father, because he saw more of his wife; she was re- lieved of much care, and had time to read and make herself interesting ; the children were entertained, and instructed, and loved, by the girl who served them so faithfully. No work was sought for Selma else- where. When she had been two months in the house her friend Ludwig appear- ed one day witha letter from her mother in Sweden. After laughing and crying over it and kissing it tenderly many times, Selma gave this English version of it to her mistress :— ‘When you go away from me, child beloved, my heart was dark like night-time. You onthe great sea, and many days thesky black, and wind loud ; and me lone and with pain. Neighbors come and talk kind, but I want only God then. When you get to land I say in heart, My child no home, no money; maybe Ludwig dead, and she be with bad stranger. Many day, many week, Iery and pray, and then come letter—you safe with Ludwig, but hard times and no work. I want wings to fly over the sea to my ehild, but I have no wings so I must sit still, My heart breaks. All days I thinks and all nights I dreamsofonly Selma,Selma. My heart be a great, load and my tears.a foun- tain like King David, and I know not how I will live cut in two from you, my child beloved. ‘One day I sit, knit, knit, knit, for my bread, and sudden fe]] on my soul a great peace from God about you. J nt why do you ever cry, my good hear no voice. 1 sees no light; only God’s peace! Then I know well, with you,; that you have | and work, and his smile on you ‘AlLeare go to the winds, and I have * ne thank Him, for he has hidemy ma, beloved, under his wing. That the blessed day of all yg Ran never set, and all the time I am bape, py for my child.’ | Here Selma paused, and looking at her mistress, said: Perhaps that day I come two times to your door, and. God say to you, ‘Take her in.” ‘No matter whether it was that very day or not, Selma. He sent you a stranger, and yours to relieve me a load of care and of work which I could only lay off on common hands, Be hopeful and faithful, and before long we will bring the dear mother over the sea; pray, and knit, knit, here as well as there,” said the lady. Let us be careful how we send the stranger, or any applicant for honest work, from our door. We may thas thrust away both the work and the blessing which God designs for us.— The Christian. White Africans. Major Pinto, the Portuguese ex- plorer, who has just crossed Africa, from Benguella southwestward to Natal, describes a race of white men, found by him near the headquarters of the Zambezi. He says: “T one day noticed that one of the carriers was a white man. He be- longed to a race entirely unknown up to the present day. A great white people exist in South Africa. Their name is Cassequer; they are whiter than the Caucasians, and in place of hair they have their heads covered with small turfts of very short > wool. Their cheek bones are prominent, their eyes like those of the Chinese. These men are extremely robust. When they discharge an arrow at an elephant the shaft is completetely buried in the animal’s body. They live on roots and the chase, and it is only when these supplies fail them that they hold relations with the ‘neighboring race, the Ambuelas, from whom they obtain food in exchange for ivory. The Cassequeres are an en- tirely nomadic race, and never sleep two nights in the same encampment. They are the only people in Africa that do not cook their food in pots. They wander about in groups of from four to six families, over all the terri- tory lying between the Cuchi and the Cumbango, It would seem that from a crossing of the Cassequeres with the negroes of other races sprang those mulattoes of the south, whom the English call Bushmen. The latter are, however, better off than the Cas: sequcres, and use pots in cooking their food, while their dispositions are good though quite opposite to civiliza- tion.” ee Another Juvenile Prodigy. The latest addition to the long list of juvenile prodigies, in respect to memory aud mathematical accuracy, is reported from Maine. He is, saya the Bangor Commercial, the son of a former postmaster of that place, and is now ten years of age. He is un- taught, save in the art of reading, to which he appears to give more at- tention than wiser parents would al- low. His strong point is memory. He ecollects not only everything that he reads, but everything that he does, remembers on what day he did it, where he was at the time, and what were thecircumstances that led him to doit. For instance, he will tell where he was on any day within the past two years, and what he was doing. Further, he remembers and can tell everything that his friends have done, provided he has seen them do it, and can tell on what date and on what day of the week they did it. The first that his fsiends uoticed of his precocity was about a year ago, when they accidenttaly discovered that he was almost infallable on any date he had ever seen or heard.

P. of England, of whose visit we have heretofore spoken, has fallen into somé errors ia his “Jonr- nal,” published sivge his return home. Take this from page 269: ‘‘It is very dif- ficult to ascertain what is now the state of things in soine of the Southren States, beeause no Repulicati newspapers what- ever are published there. No oue dares to publish such a paper, and it he dared he would find no one to read it, for want of education.” There are three errors in the above. It is not true, we think, that any man would be in personal danger by publishing a Republican newspaper in aay one of the Southren Statess nor is it correct that ‘want of education” among the people would prevent him. It is true that a majority of the colored people are illiterate, and thatthe white people, being democrats, would not patronize a Republi- chn newspaper. Sir Geo. is also mistaken are ay g@ing Places to a ghew aud mo ssive system. It is estimated tha are now du the field no Tess { nndred thousand travelling agents, representing merchants and man- ufactories iv every city, town and hamlet in the United States. ‘This system has grown ina few years to its present im- mense proportions ; and although it may yet continue for a considerable time, it is note probably, the cheapest or- most effi- cient system practicable. The new method of inviting the country merchant to pay visits tu distant cities, which costs them nothing, (2) where they are wined, and dined, antt escorted with musicand pleas- ant-company from one scene of interest and pleasare to another, is probably cheaper than sending out traveling agents and more eflicient ia establishing busi- pess relations of a solid and durable character. In either case it is evidently business these hospitable city men have in view. And when they assume the pecu- niary responsibility of these modes of communication with patrons, it must be remembered that they expect to make it pay. The public who look on without feeling any special interest in what they see passing before them, mast eventually bear the burden of the excursions—wust pay for the fine dinners, Wines, wusic and all, just as certainly as the spark- ling dew drops which glitter on the moun- tains must go at last to the river and the river to the sea. Bat we do not advert tu these things for the purpose of tinding fault; but on- ly to notice the changes guiug on in busi- ness modes. New expedients will ere long take the place of these, just as these have superceded those of the past. ‘The inventions for communication with the world, already perfected and in process of construction, will almost annihitate time and distanee, and must of necessity produce great changes in all the affairs of life, business and social. We have no time to speculate on these changes, many of which suggest themselves with obvious clearness, and no extrayagant range of the imagination will probably surpass their far-reaching effect on the affairs of the world. } an tps ee PRESS CONVENTION.

Bonitz, the editor of the Messenger, did honors to the Press, heretofore unsar passed. when he says ‘it is very (ficult to ascer- tain whatris now the state of things in| some of the Southren States,” &e. The | local newapapers publish everything, and there are black*and white republicans enough in every locality tu supply ‘news to the organs: ‘of the party and to imem- bers of Congress, awd, thus everything of & pablic or politignl character is abund- anfly published. Some oué has misled our usually fair friend, who no doubt be- lieves that his statements are correct. Sir George’s “Journal” is, however, a very entertaiuing book, and tells usa good many things about the southren States, even, which we did not know before, or kubdwing them, had not seen in the’ light in which he presents them. ce THE FORKED STICK.

Polk as will.provea credit to the conuty. Then Street & Son, of the National Hotel put us under obli- gations fora fine dinner. Editors asa rule enjoy good eating and these gentle- men know how to prepare it. At Durham, Garland Webb rushed at the train, yelling; ‘‘gentlemen of the Press of N. C., Blackwell & Co., desire you to come in and partake of refresh- ments he has provided.” The press went in and did justice to the sweets and brought away a pipe, and a package of Blackwell's best Smoking Tobaceo, which means something good in that line. The association,—about 36 of them—accepted the invitatien of Messrs. Walton and Pearson, to visit Glen Alpine Springs, near Morganton. These gentlemen threw open their doors, and gave everything up to the press. Most of them visited “Raven's cliff,” from which height, a fine view of the valley of the Catawba, and the Blue Ridge beyond is obtained. The time of the visitors was mostly taken up with music, dancing, croquet, billiards, ten pins, &c. The waters of this delight- ful resort are very fine. There are tive spripgs in all—the first or “Temple Spring” being the most important. It coutains iron, Potassium, Litthium, so- diuur, &e., No.2 contains alum; 3, blue sulphur; 4and5,ironand sulphur, making in all a combination of waters not found at other resorts. The great difficulty about these places, is the expense getting to them. In other States, the Rail Roads make special rates for all home enterprises, bus North Carolina does no such thing— if is foreign to her system. If this were home might avail themselves of a few weeks, at our health vnd pleasure resorts. Excuse this little dégression from the main subject, but the idea of cost natur- ally came up. : .

Details of the Late Disaster. ‘ihe ladies and gentlemen who were at Beatifort front this citf¥ réacheil home safe: ly yesterday morning, aud were, kept busy receiving the congratulations of theiv friends and relating their experien- ces: The tollowing isa list of those-who were there from this place: Col. Johu W. Atkinson, Mrs. Atkiuson, Miss Fannie R. Williams, Miss LuJa Atkinson, Misa Ein: ma D. Murchison, Miss Seunie Atkinson, and Messrs. John D. Williams, Jr., James 'G. Bradley, Charles G. Mithell, Thomas H. McKoy, Jr., and Duveau M. Williams. All returned except Messrs. Bradley aud NeKoy. The appearance of the party showed very plainly that they had had a rough experievee, their outfits being decidedly unique and variegated, ‘The most. strik- ing feature of the costnmes of the. Jadies was their hats, the brim of which exten- ded about three feet from the crown aud made them present quite a ludicrious ap- pearance. Miss Fannie Williams was fortunite enough to recover all of her jewelry and money and some clothes, ber trank hav- ing washed ashore. Messrs. D. M. Williains and Thomas H. McKoy, Jr., also sawed or recovered their clothes, but the former lost a fine gold watch and chain. ‘The rest of the party lost nearly everything, the ladies a large amount of Jewelry, including two gold watches, From conversations with several, we gather that the guests, with a few excep- tions, had all retired by 2 A. M., at which time the storm had commenced in earn- est, but was in its incipievcy, as it after wards proved. ‘The two or three gentle- men who did not retire at 2 o'clock be- came soon convinced that the gale was tobe of unusaal force and severity, and woke some of their friends to enjoy the excitement. <A little later several sug- gested that it would probably be as well to arouse all the guests, but others, in- cluding Mr. Perry, the proprietor, an old resident of the place, declared that it was not necessary, us there would be vo dan- ger, and the matter was dropped. Between this and five o’elock many were aroused, by friends already up, as a matter of pre- caution ; bat few, if any, thought there would be any real danger, nor even dreampt that the building would be swept away. Shortly before tive o'clock, the change in the wind bronght the water in- to the sound in an immeuse volume, and the distance between the floor of the hotel building and the water became rapidly less until it was even with it. Everybody was then aroused and svon collected on to ity » | The attack ‘ton acted as became tl |do not now take themselves. nerally té- Even in Massachusetts, ge edged to be the most highly civili- knowl thens the argument in favor of supervis- ion by members of both parties, while we believe ‘that the employment of deputy marshals for service at clections is almost sure to be abused. It provides a couven- ieut system of bribery, by which the votes of bunmers may be bought with public money for tha benefit of.a particnlar par- ty. Ifthe Democrats were in power in the batioual administration, the Republi- cans would protptly see the evils of the system which they have defended «while it worked in their favor. But we believe that every ballot box should be snpervis ed by brave and honest representatives of all the political parties presenting tickets, and that the humblest voter should be protected from the smallest degree of in- timidatiou on the-part.of any other man, Even an attempt to scrutinize another man’s ticket should be held an offense to be punished; or, better, should be made iim- possible by proper precaurions.— Boston Herald. eo it Boets Wan.—Nearly 40,000 people were | at Aurora, Il,, Friday, attending the grand reunion of war veterans. Gen. Sheridan was among the newiarrivals.. The event of the day was the storming of the sham “rebel Fort Wade,” over which the Confed- | erate flag had been flying for three days. | The scene was highly exciting to the spec- | tators. Gen. T.

A second or two before the Hotel went two young gentlemen of Newbern, Messrs. Guion aud Dessaway were seen at a third story window, from which they shortly threw a mattrass, and jumped. Fortunately, the distance was not great as the water was up to the second story, and one sacceeded in getting on the mat- trass and subsequently ashore, the other inissed it but managed to swim out all right. ‘Those who are familiar with the build- ing will remember that the bar roum was a separate building, with ove end | on shore aud connected with the Hotel by a gaug-way, which was the route by which most of the guests left, it being uore sheltered. When the roof of the bar room Was swept away Mr. Johu M. Rob- erts, af Newbern, was seen crawling out of the top. He had gone back to search tor his friend, Mr. John D. Hughes, of Newbern, and was passing through the bar room on his way out when the roof blew off. Mr. Hughes was seen ashore after every ove had gotten. out of the hotel, and it is supposed he weut back to look for Mr. Roberts, when he was struck on the head by a falling timber and ear- ried off in the ruins. His budy. was re- covered yesterday, and was found to be very much mashed aud bruised, which would seem to substantiate the above supposition. The Wilmingtoniaus speak in the highest terins of his actions during the excitement, in unselfishly seeking always toaid others atthe risk of his own life, Mr. Hughes was only 23 years of age aud was a young man of unexceptional character. Brave, generous and cour- teous, he was at once liked on meeting him. All who knew him regret his un- timely death, aud sympathize with his friends. His body was interred at New bern yesterday atternoon. Advice received here last night state that another body was also found yester- duy utfternoon, which was identitied as that of W. Henry Congleton, a resident of Beaufort and w fisherman by octupa- tion, Ibis. supposed he was lost in the same manner as Mr. Haghes.

Thousands of men who live on Fifth and Madison avenues while they are here, whose danghters are sent te ex- pensive schools, aud whose wives figure as patronesses of charities, are found to be worse than poor, for they have laid no honest and respectable foundation upon which their children can build even a livelihood.

Dr. Chaille, chairman of the Hayana Commission, has hitely written to the National Board of Health ‘as follows : “* As to the sanitary eundition of Havanat and of its harbor it would be? diffictilt to! devise conditions more favorable ta pro- pagate disease. Built upon a thin layer} of earth which covers extremely perofis coral rocks, this foandation is deeply saturated with the excrements of many thousands of human beings and of. au- imals, continuously deposited through a loug series of years. Nothing can be Worse Or more offensive than thé privy system of Havana. Associated with the evil hygienic conditions of the city the harbor is, if possible, in even fouler con- ‘dition. | This harbor, abont one milé long, two- | thirds of amile wide, and some thirty | feet deep in the deepest places, has a dit- | ference between its minimum low and its maximum high tide of less than two feet ; and into this almost stagnant pond is daily poured the sewage’ of the city, the | offal of the slaughter houses, and the ref- i use from at least two large hospitals habitually infected with yellow fever and located ou the very edge of the harbor. | ‘The faecal odor from this harbor is often perceptible. Among other things done, at the sng- gestion of Dir. Daniel M. Burgess, of Havana, to whom I owe ninch, I have in-4 spected the ballast sold to and trans- ported by ships from this port. Repeat- edly has the ballast from this port been accused of causing outbreaks of yellow tever in ports of the United States, and as repeatedly has this been discredited, I have to hgsitation in asserting, as the result of yersonal examination, that if there be anything whatever) which cau serve as fomites to transport yellow fever poison, the ballast from this port appears to be eminently titted for this purpose. In my opiniou, the National Board of Health should at once adopt such meas- ures.as may be needful to proteet our | ports against the dangerous risks they | are subjected to by all ballast from this | port. ~ape- A 1,500 Horse Power Horster.—The new hoisting machinery for the Yellow Jacket shaft, pow being constructed in / San Franeiseo, will be surpassed by ynothing of the kind on the Comstock.

This is not suprising un- der the.cireumstances, but still the busi- ness world’s epitaph upon thegimpractica- ble project will probably be: “ifse quick - ly you are dove for, the wonder is what you were begun for.” The French engi- neers who carried the vote in favor of the Wevse concession have been industriously employed in writing up the project for the Paris newspapers, and even so solid a journal as the Debats has giving columns of its space to specious arguments in fav- or of the “only natural route” between the two oceans. I» one of these articles the writer, M. Paul Boiteau, assured his readers that the Panama canal would di- minish by eighty francs a ton the cost of transporting goods by sea; that General Burnside was the only man in the United States who thought the building of the canal an infringwent of the Mouroe doc- trive, that the real opposition to the work iv this country proceeded from the Pana- ma and the trans-continental railroads. In spite of all this the Panama canal was ahopeless job from the outset. The speedy abandonment of the scheme shows that it has been found out. by those. alone who could supply the means necessary to pro- mote it, to be not # scientitie plap for the construction of a public work of interna- tional proportions, buta project “put ap” in the interest of speculatersand stock- jobbers. The fact that the objections of Admiral Ammem and Mr. Menocal were brushed aside without any attempt to. ap- swer them was iv itsclf fatal to avy plan soliciting bona fide subscriptions from substantial capitalists.

It is an old English term, and meant at first “ten pound” nails (the thousand bein understood), but the old English clippe it to “tenpun,” and from that it: degener- ated until “penny” was substituted for “pounds.” less than one pound they are called tacks, brads, etc., and are reckoned by ounces. —Scientifie American. Tg. Atrain Lona Lire.—He who strives after a long and pleasant term of life must seek to attain continual équa- nimity, and carefully avoid everything which too violently taxes his feelings. Nothing more quickly consumes the vig- or of life than the violence of the emo- tions of the mind. We know that anxi- ety and care ean destroy the healthiest body ; we know that fright and fear, yes, excess of joy, become deadly. They who are naturally cool and of a quiet turn of mind, upon whom nothing can make too powerful an impressiov, who are not wont to be excited either by great sor- row or great jov, have the best chance of living long and happy after their manner. Preserve, therefore, under all circum- stances, counsels The Sanitarian, a com- posure of mind which no happiness, no misfortune, can too much disturb. Love nothing too violently ; hate nothing too passionately ; fear nothing too strongly. In this county, Mt. Ulla township, after a pro- tracted sickness, Mrs. ‘1’. M. Douglz aged about 4u years.

English writers on American man- ners and people are very apt to fol- low the rule, Ab uno disce omnes (from one case form your judgment of the whole). We give below two cases of the employment and pay of women bat we would be far from suggesting that it isa fair illustration of the freatment of all women in “Merry England.” The account is taken from ¢ letter in the Pall Mall Gazette, written from the yillage of Rowley Regis, Lancashire : “I came to this place called Belt End, which is apparently a new part of the old village. Through a small window I obseryed a female head bobbing up and down; soon I heard the sound of a hammer; and never having seen any rivet-making done With human hands, I threaded my way throngh some brick passages un- til I came to the little smithy where ‘Alice’ was at work. This was the name by which her father called her, whom I met on the way, and to whom I am indebted for the following re- markable piece of knowledge. Alice, I may say, was a young wife, engaged in blowing bellows, heating pieces of iron $n a ‘gleed’ forge, and producing yivets from an anyil at the rate of three thousand aday. For this man- pal labor Alice, her father proceeded to tell me in her presence, gets from ware-house one shilling and three- quarterpence, out of which she was to pay for wear and tear of tools one peony, carriage one penny, and a like sum for gleeds, a kind of small coke made expressly for nail and rivet for- ges. On Monday she does her wash- ing, on Saturday her cleaning up, so that she only - works at rivets four days in the week, and her gross earn- ings, therefore, amount to four shil- } gs and three pence for forging ba élve thousand rivets. I have said nothing of rent which Alice would pa And which might amount to one tnilling a week. She was a sedate young woman, well-spoken, with Ng? fair hair and a low, sweet 9s ‘Johy Price (Alice’s father) then, at pay request, took me to see his neigh- ors, “Edward and Phyllis Tromans, fibo lived and worked at making nails close by, Phyllis is a handsome woman, with beautiful white teeth pnd abundance of flesh, which Rubens might have painted, it is so plentiful aod rosy. This woman was forging large nails; and the wanner in which she made a nail with a point and a head, with an inch and a half in cir- pumference, fly off'u piece of hot iron, was marvelgus to behyld. She works trom eight o'clock in the morning un- tl wing p’clogk at night, and in four days will forge fifty-four pound weight vf clout ngils, for which she will re- peive the wondrous sum of three shil- liags and cight-pence, out of which <a GSES Aa Be. i heat LL she has to pay fiye-pence for gleeds and two-penes fur touls. Her hus- band works ‘as hatd as he can dyive’ t| from six in the morning until eleveg at nigbt; and his week’s wages amount to twelve shillings, from which tea- pence for gleeds and fourpenoe for tools will have to be deducted—to say nothing of rent. Edward Tromans was only forty-three years of age, but looked much nearer seventy. Two other young women were hammering away at rivets in company with Phyl- lis, and never as Jong as I live shall I forget the little black smithy. J once trayelled many miles to see ‘Vulcay’s Forge,’ by Velasquez; but there was in that famous picture ng figure equal to that of Phyllis Tromans, and I shall remember Phyllis tq the day of my death, That such 9 woman should be slaving in soot—blowing the bellows, now with her Jeft, and then weildiog a hammer with her right hand—forging clout nails for twelve hours a day, in grder to earn less than forty pence a week, is a phe- nomengn that I would never have be- lieved as being possible in England if I had not seen it.” The Turks have a proverb which says that the deyil tempts all other men, byt that idle men tempts the devil. A lady, joking about her nose, said: “I had nothing to do with shaping it; it was a birthday pres- ent.” ruth is the most powerful thing in the world, since fiction can only please ys by its resemblance to it.— Saftesbury. Weare all sculptors and painters and our material is our own flesh and blood, and bones. Any nobleness be- gins at once to refine 4 man’s features; any meanness or sensuality, to imbrute them.— Thoreau. As weeds grow fastest in fut soil so our corruption grow and_ thrive most when qur natural state is most prosperous. Therefure, God’s love and care for ys constrain him some- times to use severe discpline and to cut us short in our temporal enjoy- ment. The step-mother problem is solved by a lady in Ashland, Mich., as fol- lows: “I have been a step-mother for nearly thirty years, and my motto has been, ‘Do to your step-children as you would that others should do to your children’; then leave the rest with Our Father.” “What is the name of your cat sir?’ inquired avisitor, ‘“Hisname was William,” said the host, ‘until he had fits, and since then we have called him Fitz-William!” We should never resign ourselves to inconsolable sadness. Sometimes our disease greatly tends te nervous But let us hope in God. “The Lord hath pleasure in them that hope in mercy.” Hopeon. Hope ever. Hope against hope. depression. A Dear-Mute Cow.—A_ Russian veterinary surgeon reports that a cow, twelve years old, of Algava breed, belonging to a Russian nobleman, never showed sigus of hearing, nor bellowed. Seeing the other cattle bellow, she tried to immitate them by stretching ber neck and head, and opening her mouth, but she could not produce any sound. The sense of vi- sion of this cow was found to be un- usually well developed. There are dephts in the ocean which no tempest ever stirs; they are be- yond the reach of all storms, which sweep and agitate the surface of the sea. There are heights in the blue sky to which no cloud ever ascends, where ng tempest ever rages, where all is perpetual sunshine. Each of these is au emblem of the soul which Jesus visits; to whom he speaks his peace, whoge fear he dispels, and whose lamp of hope he trims. — Twee- die. “Ah,” sighed an old, faithful clock which Thad in my roow, “what a burden is life! These weights wear me out. With much pleasure would I say, ‘Tick—tick,’ and strike, as is my duty, if [only need not carry these dreadful heavy weights; I am not free from them one single hour.” So it sighed daily, till I, moved with pity tomy dear old faithful clock, took away its weights, when its com- plaints stopped ; but it vever gave me a sign of gratitude since : it was hence- forth silent as the grave. So it would be with many of us if we were with- aut the burdens of life. No doubt they are often hcavy and wearisome, but needful to our spiritual life,— From the Wahrheitszeuge. .

Remarkable Cure of Scrofula, &. CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON. KINGSTON, Ga., September 15, 1871. GENTS :—For sixteen years | have been a great suf- ferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. ‘The most ap- proved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. ‘hus prostrated, distressed, de- sponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd Coun- ty, Ga., to commenccthe use of your Compound Ex- tract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de- scribe the relief I obtalned from the use of the Stil- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate idea of the in- tensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of eee until I can say truly, “Iam cured of all pain,” of all dis- eases, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any re- turn of the disease.

I shall ever remain, with the eepest gratitude, Your obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law. A MIRACLE. WEsT POINT, GA., Sept. 16, 1870. GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, with what was supposed to be Acute Kheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the e!bow to the shoulder joti.t came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelling. After having been contined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her tiine—has walked across the room.

This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil ren. Its fame has been spreading for 85 years, until now it encircles the habitable globe. Tho Mexican Mustang Liniment is a matchless remedy forallextcrnal ailments of man and beast. To stock owncrs and farmers it is invaluable. A single botile often saves a human life or re- storcs the uscfulness of an excellent “horse, ox cow, or rhecp. It curc3 foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub, screw-worm, shoulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It curcs every external trouble of horses, such as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bonce, ctc., etc. The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for accidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., and for rheuma- tism, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Miners, It is the cheapest pemedy in the world, for it penetrates the muscle to the bone, and a single tpplication is generall; -ufficient to cure. Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three ‘zes of bottles, the larger ones being propertion- >ely much the cheapest, Sold everywhere. .

NUMBER Il, Owing to causes not well to be nvoid- ed, this article has been delayed for two or three weeks, but without further spology, let us continue the disctssion of cemmon schools by considering some of the defects of our present -rystem. As they are not faults inhereut in the true system of pablic schools, but mere de- fects in our application of it, we may discover reinedies therefor by examining its workings in other States. One great trouble is the laek of funds. Jn gur township, we have three school districts, each réceiving abont fifty dol- lars@yeat to sopport a school during thattime. The pablie school law allows a figst grade teacher (aud we propose to give some reasons Why this grade is the ouly one common sense world advise to employ), the law allows Iiim forty dol- iafs per month, so this gives the chil- dren just tive weeks tuitiog of ithe fifty twoiu the year! ‘The third grade teach- erisallowed twenty dollars per month ameven by employing hiin, they get only two and a half months in’ the year. We will not stop to discuss that plan which puts out the school to the lowest bidder and gives it to him at ten do!lars permonth if he wil board take itpight about among the scholars (a veritable ease). The result of this deficiency leads to many of the sitbseqnent defects: for ex- ample, the shortness of the term. One or twocommittees have occasionally tried theexperiment of having no school one year and a lounger one every other year, but this is but robbing Peter to pay Paul. With three months now, or even five, and then vacation for two years, what meutal advancement cau be expect- ed! Just as the papil -gets fairly under ¥ay, the school closes,-and he returns to the plow and the “blue back” to the dus- ty shelf. And this leads to another de- fect, that of books. Each pupil, if he has Sbook at-all, has one different from his Companion,and “pap says jest se hits a ‘rethmetic it 'ill do”—can’t be always a hew books.” Often the greatest ' “Wteacher has isthe preper clas- of his sehoot and the chief touble'ig the Iack Af books suitable. But a far greater defect is the want of t tétithets. How’ éan’ we slow fhat ody t frade teachers should be em- Ployed ? Prof. Joseph Henry says, “The foture fliacadter of & ebill, and. that of the tian also, is in most cases formed before the age of seven years.” Phelps: iddg, Tt fay be safely asserted that multitudes of children leave onr common thouls for the scenes of active life every Pe wih their sporeeptive and observi ing himself or éh bndes ’ tetaias f to a r uf, of” uence Oe ek PRS meyer lee- wht, anu other dni ot jon ed to the res- ae si ‘été more Tapia that their ir eoMtool€ show la be thor- ed.

Should you, then, have men to select your teachers who know nothing of tenehing f Too many of our committees net on the principle that the man whe will teach the school for the least money is the mau for the- place. Let it be added, however, that | they are often seemingty forcedto em- | ploy cheap teachers through the scargity | of funds. Another obstacle to the success of com- | mon schools here is the scanty or very ir- regular attendance of scholars. There is a public school now in session where | there ought to be at least, probably, fifty | pupils in daily attendance, and yet sowe | days not a half dozen are present. A | large per cent of our children either do not attend at all, or go when it suits their parents to spare them, i. e. “wet days,” and so forth. But time fails to speak of many other defects, such as want of system in manage- ment, lack of proper buiidivg,s apparatus, co-operation of parents, publie spirit, and others, and we would simply add that it | is very easy to find fault, but not so easy to suggest sufficient remedies. This we will eudeavor to do, partially, at least, iu a third and Jast article. M, rm - For the Watchman. THOSE “BLUE LAWS” AGAIN. It is my purpose, in this commu- nieation, to examine some of the posi- tions and arguments of a writer in the Watchman, onthe 8th and 15th of May last, over the tne signature of “W” and “Veritas ;” especially those more per- sonal to myself. Before proceeding, however, I must express regret that I have not had the leisure to do soon- er, and that even now, I am so situa- ted that I cannot give to the subject the consideration its importance de- mands, Veritas says tion when he says “well informed men everywhere, now regard the Blue Laws of Connecticut, as never having had an existence, as a code;”’ and asks the question, “who ever said they did?” LT answer, ‘the Rev. Samuel Peters ; and I do sw on the authority of the Hon. J, Hammond: Trumbull, once Secretary of State. of Connecticut, a man of the strictest integrity of char- acter and thoroughly conversant with the subject of the “Blue Laws’’—hav- ing written a book on thesubject: en., titled “The True-blue Laws of ‘Con= necticut, and New Haven, and the False Blue Laws invented by the Re. Samide! Péters,” In the Churchman (August 11th and September Ist), the following statement, with.others partially quo- ted by Veritas, occurs, viz: “He (Peters) does not pretend to quote them, (the Blue Laws). Ile aeknowledges they were laws of usage and custom, rather than’ of a book of statutes. In’ other words, that they came to him rather as traditions than as recorded testimony.” To which Mr. Trumbull replies in a recent Publication, entitled “Rev. Sanuel Peters and his Avologists and his Defenders,” as. follows, viz: “This is untrue. Each period, igx fact, ints a separate and distinct untruth, Peters does pretend to quote the ‘Bue Paws’ and mark them “P is begging the ques- “y= agquotatiens. _ He gives them, not as ‘laws of usage and custom,’ but as specimens of the ‘laws made by the independent Dominion of New Haven.’ (p. 63); he asserts; that a vast multi- tude of such’ laws’ were made by the their incorppration with Saybdek and Hartford gotonies, by the charter,’ of 1662, (p.\\6Os)mothese laws, (p. 43.) were nade by ‘the ee ee of New erftion, tof support “themiw thee’ arbifary and bloody undertakings’: , He contrasts them (p. 82.) with the more ‘degent” Jawa, enacted under the chhfter; and batter esate fudseontrol the lest school, demands more wisdg gnd when discussing the laws of Con- Confess to the fusilitys of nD Codes, with | thefr fea lities, Tinted ecimens “Blue ws neerted, ( ar Tee ton! nate 8) Pee te of which actual Puritan legislatien.| ° grew,” is an unwarrantable assahip- tion ofthe reviewer. Even if it were well founded it could not help eters” ease. Whether he lied about ‘speci - mens of materials’ or lied about ‘ac- tual legislation,’ makes little differs ence morally.” Veritas cannot afford to discredit his own witness, Dr. Peters. He pre- feres to invalidated theteéstinony of Mr. Trumbull ; and intimates that Prath- bull will nd it difficnlt.to prove his _ charges: tering. F ets. But what more, £ abk, should? L.do than he bas . ane Ne potiits to the very Pages, and qyptes: the actfunguage, contained id Dis peda? bogk, disproving and invalidating:the assumptious of his reviewer, in the Churchman; and answering ‘the question of Veritas. If this is:not sufficient proof, upon this point, I er attempt, in tBat Mirecti atis may not have seen this r pfu ww by | Trumbull: he may have overlooked ie quotation by “Progness,”; in, the | Watchman {Aprit 10thy, of'nd ‘fess than thirteen of “the old Puritan laws—by way of sample?” ‘to show “the spirit of those who framed and enforced” them; or he may. have been listless asto the popinjay effu- sions, published, time again, om this subject ; but, be all this as it. may, I cannot ‘butexpress my ‘gratification, that Veritas regards this point as set- tled, and agrees with mé that “the ‘Blue Laws’ never had an existence, as'axeode.” The former Jine of -de- fence is untenable, and he decliues it, and retires with the exclamation, “P is begging the question.” Whi9 does this, may be seen as I praceed. —Veritas maintains that. the admis- sion of the Philadelphia Presbyterian, that some of the old laws ‘of Connec- ticut were “bluish—that is, attempted to regulate social customs. and parts of man’s conduct, in which Jaw can do very little good, and which law does not now attempt,”’—is too mild; says “the real question is, did these laws ever really exist substantially, iu any form, and were they ever en- forced, at any time, in New England?” Now, even if the Presbyterian had not defined what it meant by “bluish,” there could be no mistaking the fact that bluish is not blue, but for the impression left by Veritas. Bluish is no more blue than the counterfeit is the reality ; than the like, is the same; than Satan clothed as an angel of light, is au angel of light. The thirty- nine Articles ofthe church of England, altered, interpolated and caricatured in their text, as Peters has done in that ,of, the, laws of New England, might indeed, look thirtyninish, but would Veritas consider them genuine? No—their idenity with the .original ifight be substantially the sume, ag to and time and ‘form, and tlre innovator would be happyjpiadecd, if he escap- ed the brand of saerilege. Veritas likes fair,dealing andfair discussion, and indulges in platitudes -about.the proper manner of conducting contro- versy, with courtesy and fairness. But what is his statement of the ques- tien, add what his, mode of attack ? iS- ds—subgtance, rio ‘matter eae. formed or diseased it may be, seems to suit this swift wituess against the Puritans, “In any form,” no matter how questionable. “At any time,” no odds how remote, answers his keen desire, One specimen of blighted fruit condemns the tree: one swallow makes a summer, with him. In oth- er cases the aceused are held to be in- nacent, until proveo guilty ; in this case, they are held guilty” until prov- en innoéent. eTmothér cases, they are convicted aécordihg “to the general rules of evidence; but in this, they must suffer according to the exceptions to those rules. But we proceed. The forty five laws, a3 quwoféd by Peters—not simply the substance of them—whetber blue or uot, must and can be funnd in the originalopies on file, or as qaoted by’ trathfal *histori- anggor.shey, nyuist. b he. “considered | as spurions and false. *Totvon--teet Abe case by the-following specimen frow | Peters. viz: “No woman shall kiss her chi:d on the Sabbath or fusting-day, , on. tate aN. cut ‘at f, OF are ‘walk in the Isewhere, ex-' ; Pa y tod from seni ind} $ eye ‘a ita ‘tot Meee refer bt Vateah a wi nest silver tee he reel ne of 1814), the writer ¢ aa two shilings e the a shall be inthe. ‘pravings ‘whose * “sett ement it proseguted by the grand, jurors, and nage the selectmen sual ine ‘ae afte er praise cond, it ¥M, called the £300 estate.

In reference to his History and this Abridgment, Neal says in his Preface, “I have not willfally. committed any | wistakes,. Some ofthe more ancient | ones (v. i, laws), relating to Fashion, | Dress, de, were: :absalete;. aud eaings which requite’ Beelestastical Qualifi- cation, for Civil Preferments, are re- pealed, by the New Charter, and yet ‘twas not proper to omit th Now, note the faet, that the laws re- lating to fashiotis; ‘dress, ecelésiastical se ‘prefertiionts, &c, wee Woe omitted ; ul though obsolute or repealgd, sixty two | years before Peters wrote and quoted his laws; and the further fact, also, that none of those abeye quoted, ee Peters, exvept one, sadlyy alterech and mutilated, respecting apparel, are to be found in Neal’s Abridgment, and we have aclear case of forgery by Peters, so far, at least, as this illustra- tion is concerned. Bat further I have before me a copy of the Code of 1650, containing the Civil compact, between the towns of Windsur, Hartford, and Wethersfield in 1638—9, with Extracts from the Laws and judicial Proceedings of New Haven Colony, commonly called “Blue Laws,” and bound withal ina blue covering; but I do not find the laws, above attributed to Peters, in this Blue-book. If they existed they should be found there, because in the Advertisement, it is said that those there printed were “taken from the in the of State.” Peters could or should” have had ac- original records, ofice of the Secretary remaining cess to those original records, befure pretendimg to quote laws, and write truthfal history. He was not obliged “to draw upon his recollection for his while Neal’s volunes, unmistakable materials, Recollection inventive; and is not apt to supply what others, nearer the time, and prompted by the record, fail to pro- duce. Ido. gut assert iat nothing can be found in ‘Peter’s similar to that in Neal, and the Blue Code of 1680. But similarity is not identity. But where it is found, so many literal and substantial differences exist, as to ren- der the laws entirely distinet—espe- cially in theirapplication. It matters not that Veritas speaks of Mr. Hin- Inan, as expressing surprise that “the collection of Peters should haye been so correct ;” and of Dr. Chapin, as hav- ing had “chapter and verse,” to guide him; unless the original code, by which Hinman measured Peterg, and the sacred writings containing Chap- in’s standard are set forth and corres- poud with Peters, not only as to sub- stance, form and time, but as to gen- uinencss and identity. Veritas says “it is only lately, that men have had the boldness and temerity to deny the genuineness of the Bthe Laws.” “He ‘makes ‘this statement, doubtless, on the authority of Suniel J. McCormick—the great grandson of Dr. Peters’—who has re- cently republished an edition of Peters’ work. J.:.Hammond Trum- bull says of this work that “regard- ed simply asa reprint the book is absolutely worthless. * * There are few pages, on which some unwarran- materials,” containing lay at his hand, is not -}tuble-liberty has not been takeu with the author’stext. * * Take a single instance,” &. But I need not give the instance, ik is too long. 1 will only say it cons'sts in theomission of some “testimony, amd three lines which. follow. it,” from. the reprint. As to. the novelty of the charge that Peters had: not written true history, Trumbull says “it was known by a we 772 oS ? wider Teiondied Lying seers to eatin it ten all ‘others,”” me But Veritié ia of “Paitin apologists” as ty rilifying and defi, iug;. without any proof. nian abe iy dead: Dr. Peters ;”.. and . ho | eulogize his character, and- seem will- ing'to constgti tees infin y4 whole race of, Pscitccn eon i “Ee (ne ' can save the very doubtful a of this, hie main ‘witivese? ‘- denunetations of ‘the *Buttlean 4G c wholesale, thus saying that Sacstling ; but ‘murders,’ ‘plunders,’ and ‘pefse- cutions, marked their, steps,” and al- though they too are dead, - they must lie in infamy, while Beer fills & ‘niche in thé temple of fame, ‘But that ‘Ido not speak “without, apy proof | whatever,” on this .. point let.. others, leven though they may themselves be dead, speak. More than forty years ago, (April 25th 1838) Prof, James Li. Kingsley, delivered a Istorical’ discourse be- fore the citizeus,of New Haven, ifrom which I extract as follows viz s— “The work which more than any |, other, kas given curreucy | to various misrepresentatious respecting the New Haven colony,. is.. that. commonly | known as ‘Peter’s History of Connec- ticut.”? Theauthor, Dr, Samuel Peters, at the commencement of the revotu- tionary war, was an, Episcopal mis- sionary, at Hebron, in Connecticat. Ashe was very active in. asserting the royal claims, he became obnox- ious to the patriots of the day, He was threatened by a mob; though it is believed, no personal violence was done him. About 1774 he went to England highly exasperated against the conatryv, and especially his native state, Connecticut. He employed ‘hituself, «while the war coutiuped, in “reviliag the colo- nists 5. eat in, 1781, published in London, without his. name, what he called ‘A general History: of Connecticut,’ | When, this , work, first appearedy its extravaganees-, and fulsehoods were so apparent and gross that any attempt to contradict or ex- pose them, was considered unueces- sary and superfluous. Dr. Trumbull (not J. ilammond): once told «me, in reply, to the question, why” in his History of Connecticut, he had made no allusiou to the work of Dr. Peters, —that he considered a reference to it us wholly unnecessary; sinee. any one, on very slight examination, would see that it was refuted, in so many of its statements, by indubitas ble public documents, that it could gain no credit. He said, that he had been well acquainted with Dr. Peters in early life, that they were cotempo- rary in College, and that an occasion- al intercourse between them had been maintained, till Dr. Peters went to England, in 1774, He added that of allt men, with whom ,he bad ever been acquainted, Dr. Peters, he thought, from his first knowledge of him, the least to be depended upon as to-any matter of fact ; especially, “in story- telling.” But again: The Methodiat Quarter- ly Review for January, 1878, contains the following, viz: “The only authority for the ‘blue laws’ is this Mr. Peters. We do not propose to spend many words upon him. He was a maa who was utter- ly ineapavie of telling the trath on any subject, His so-called ‘History’ was the malicious libel of a Tory ref- ugee in England, at a time of war, who was receiving a pension fron the ministry, and was hoping to gain fur- ther favor by villifying his native State. When it was published, it was said at once in Londun, that it bore ‘so many marks of party spleen and idle credulity, that it was altogether unworthy of the public attention,’ * * It is fll&l with stories which. would not’be out of place in the fravels of the Baron Munchauser.

Hugh McAden, who afterwards Wilhelmn. ompsen, ex Shaver. entered the State, as can. be seen in his Diary copied into Foote’s; “Notes on North Carolina.” He records that: he preached at Grassy Creek and Fishing Creck Baptist churches in.

A CASE OF REMARKABLE PRESENCT “OF MIND, A Missing Young Girl Found Hanging to the Side of Stone Mountain. , Yesterday a pleasure party started from the Josse House, in Deeatur, to visit Stone Monutain. Among the party was Mrs. W. C. Jones, of Augusta, avd her daughter, Emmie, about nine years. old, and three or four small children. . Emmie and the little daughter of Mrs. Cynping- ham, of Savannah, wandered from the grown people and were soon ‘lost. They, rambled through the thick undergrowth, calling tor their parents, but had gotten too tar to be heard. ‘The children were moving rapidly, when, without any warn- ing, Emmie slipped from the steep aud almost perpendicular side of the moun- tain, falling about, THREE HUNDRED FEET, when by great presence of mind she man- aged to catch a little shrub and cling to the mossy sides of the mountain, her fret resting on a space of about fifteen inches of glutted rock. Had she again slipped she would Rave been hurled ONE THOUSAND FEET farther, aud been dashed to pieces among the sharp yocks*belaw. Her little ‘com- panion missed her Wtgid not know she had fallen, and finally foun@ the grown people from whom she. hadbeen separa- ted.’ The.entire party, weptjn search of Emmie, and were & giveup the hunt, when some parties passing te base on that side of the meuntaiu,s looked up and saw the child suspended; in mid air, as it were.

Number one of thie series is upon Granville county. We quote his first. aph because it is interesting in itself and to correct an error into which he “Previous to the middle of the eighteenth century, the county of Granville embraced all the territory lying along the Virginia line, west of Bute county—now divided in- to Warren and Franklin—and was sect off trom Edgecombe in'1746.

In the centre of this the earth had evidently been thrown up, as \trees are Bow - standjig with their tops downward and the roots up, and large stones are seen down the mountain. Since then the earth has continued to sink, until it is now nearly level witb the river. The phenomenon is being considered by the State geologist and many scientific men. The theory is that the river is gradually hollowing out a way under the mountain. ; WEALTH AMONG THE Ex-PRESIDENTs. —Washington left ap estate worth $300,- 000. Johu Adams died moderately well off.

The State board ot education and the superintendent of pub- lic instruction have passed on it, and pronounced it a perfect daisy ; numbers of school teachers and college professors have given warm testimony to its aecu- racy and general worth. The Wilming- tou Star, the editor of which bas exam- ined it critically, has pointed out scores of errors in it—errors of fact and viola- tions of all rules of grammar. Doubtless many of those who have endorsed the book so highly have doue -o on the prin- ciple that if it is not all right it ought to be, butin the face of these exposures this explanation would hardly relfeve them of their embarrassment. We all desire to witness the general introduc- tion of a first-class school history of our State, but as between none at all and one Which abounds in errors of fact and of syutax, it will not require much time for the public tu decide which it will take.— Chay.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver, pe in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it uently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with in, accompanied with a dull, heay ounce in the back part. ‘There S generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some- thing which ought to have been done, A shght, dry cough is sometimes an attendant: The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he gan scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- jsted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s LIVER PILLs, 1N CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s Livex PILLs. The genuine McLANt’s Liver Pitts bear the signatures of C. MCLANE and FLEMING Bros. on the wrappers.

People are getting acquainted—and those whe are ot ought to be—with the wonderful merits of that great American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. This liniment very naturally originated in Amert- ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil dren. Its fame has been spreading for 35 years, until now i; encircles the habitable globe, Tho Mexican Mustang Liniment is a.matchless remedy forallextcrnal ailments of man and beast. To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable. Asingle bottle often saves n human life or re- storos tho uscfulness of an excellent horse, ox cow, or shecp. It curca foot-rot, hoof-all, hollow horn, grub, screw-worm, shoulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of polsonous reptiles end insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It curcs every extcrncl troubtc of horses, such as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bone, ctc., etc. . The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for accidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., ond for rheuma- tism, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Miners. It is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it penctrates the muscle to the bone, and a single plication fs generally sufficient to cure. Mexican Mnstang Liniment is put up in three ‘zes of bottles, the larger ones being proportion- ;ely much the cheapest.

I vev- er- met a young faceor an old one among “these simple folks that had not a pleasant smile for the stranger; I never went intoa Lapland hut without finding a kinbly welcome, for my worthy little hosts would bus- tle to fill the biggest bow! with milk, and the largest basket with ber- and to produce great piles of “spolke” and dried fish from the sea- coast, and, luxury unparralleled, per- haps evena great black loaf, brought all the way from Norway (for Lap- land has no bread), to do honor to the foreign guest. -How could I help growing fond of these queer, elfin- looking, soft-hearted people? The village of Kublitz was built of green boughs aud wattles, the posts alone which supported each cottage being of pinetimber. In fact, the huts were not cottages—they were leafy booths such as the roving Tartar riex, sometimes constructs ; and these sum- mer palaces of living verdure added to the holiday air of the place, and were suggestive of a perpetual pic- nie. But the true houses were under The tents I have been describing the earth, not above its surface. green and beneath them, with only a low ehim- were mere temporary pavilions ; ney, like a magnitied mole-hill, peep- were the true homes of the Laplanders, the cavern- ing above ground, ed storehouses of all their worldly twealth, and their own dwellings for more than nine months of the vear. And now the time was coming whe. the green booths were to be deserted, and the sun to vanish, and the strange undergrougid life, like a mole’s, was to begin again for the iron-bound Arctic winter. Peter Wow, the chief man of the village, in whose wigwam I dwelt, warned me that the day- light would speedily cease, and that he had better prepare the boat to con- vey me down the river southwards, so that I ight reach Norway “before it got dark,” A strange idea seized me —what if I were to stop behind! I have been here through the daylight, the long three-months’ day, that puz- zled me so terribly at first, and rob- bed meofmy sleep, and made me blink like an owl at the unwearying sun that would shine at midnight, and which upset all the habits of my pre- vious life. I recollected strange sensation that had been, new, fresh, and piquant! and_ it is not often, let me tell you, that a some- what world-wora‘and world-wearied nan, who has passed his grand cli- macteric, can discover a sensation that shalt-be, satronceg new, fresh-aud pi- quant. “My mind is made up. I’ll stay all night.” A pretty long night, too, reader— a nigh that begins in early October, and endsin June. Having tried per- petual daylight, I was guing to essay how Llikedantipodes. Peter Wow tried to dissnade me—I did not know what it was like, he said; but I told him that was my exact reason for going through the experience. Peter shrug- ged his shoulders: Madame Wow, or more correctly speaking, Huswife Wow (for Lapland is not a land of titles, and there is but one class, that of-the yeomanry, with their depend- ents and seryants), lifted up her as- tonished eyes apd hands; all the daughters tiftered, and all the sons stared, at this pemarkable decision on my part. But, .as [ not only paid Peter for my board aud lodging at the ynprecedentedly liberal rate of four silver tix-dollars a.week, but cou ld speak, and sing on occasion, ip Swedish and Norse, knew a little of the Lapponic tongue, and played the fiddle, and flute, besides being the own- er of a musical-box, I was quite a popular character among my worthy what a how tough ittoyt tl rouwzh the long winter supple and pliant as silk ; fancied about it yet. ntertaiders, ° ‘and my determination to | lat dtisetg hah bemesiew! site. i * an ms _ wii — sineitsitiinteae os 2 o 1 wis dete as ee ett st te tt Pg $+ Pts AG tk BSc gen oF _asutinpa efi’ tg : e s . ; ?

Nay, but for the very shame, J believe I should ha.e proposed to hire Peter Wow’s box-beds, about the usual length of boat, before the ices should seal up inignénette troughs, which were. egak into the elay-walls like a row of sleep- ing berths on board a paéKet-ship. But I, as a distinguished foreigner, had a den to myself, such as a hermit of especially anstéré anil 6eH-mortify - ing tendencies might have’ construc- ted, for it was without a window of any kind, and air was admitted by. means of the hollow trunk of an al-' der-tree, which had been thrust through the roof of the caye, and | mere and, ‘river, and start, like’ a bird of passage, in pursuit of the sun.

It was evidently some relic of a wreck off the North Cape, and had been dragged many a weary mile by the patient deer that drew the sledges. I the scent of the sea hung Seareely were we snugly establish- ‘el in our underground quarters, when one fine evening, I was summoned to joina solemn procession which annual- ly according to immemorial custom, as- cended a neighboring hill to see the last of the sun for that year, and bid the orb of day “good by!” It was a strangely picturesque sight, and not without its touching pathos, that as- semblage of villagers, of every age, from the wrinkled grandsire who tot- tered on his staff, and» Witla palsy- shaken hand shaded his aged eyes as he watched that fast declining sun which was setting, not fora night, but for a drear winter, and which he might scarcely hope, to mark -again, down to the child whose wondering eyes noted the scene for the first time since its redson began to dawn. All were there—the maidens and young men, the reverend elders, the feeble crones, who shivered already in the strange omiyous. chill, that pervaded the air, the hardy hunters, the no less hardy shepherds, or rather deerberds ; oldand yourig were gazing with a com- mon purpose and a common tatensity of feeling upon the sinking luminary. All kinds of wild imaginings, all man- ner of poetic memories, rushed in upon my mind as the sun approached the horizon, and prepared for the. final plunge. The wild aud inystic verses of Tegner, perhaps suggested by that very spectacle of the death of: the northern sun, recurred to me with boding clearness. I began to Wonder whether I bad ,not, heen waxy cash oud 4 absurd jn wishiog to stop a winter in Lapland, like a mole in its burrow.

Peter Wow, ‘as chief of the village, entertained all the beauty and wealth (all the ugliness and poverty as well) of Kublitz in his hosptiable halls under ground.— Torches blazed and sputtered; lamps fed by sealoil and dear’s fat, were light- ed,and hung to every bracket and pro- jection throngh the subterranean dwel- ling; and ata very early hour, the nionotonous but impatient beating of the Lapland drum summoned the guests. All Kublitz was there, young and old, in holiday garb. There were games and sweetmeats for the child- ren, dancing for the lads and lasses, and abundance of tobacco, gossip, and strong liquors for the seniors of the village. A pet reindeer—a lovely milk-white creature, almost hidden by the flowers with which he was gar- landed—was led through the room by a rope of roses held by six young maidens. Six young hunters follow- ed, each with a drawn sword, with which they were presently to figure in the ancient sword-dance of Scandina- via. The orchestra, composed of the strangest looking instruments, still managed—for the Laps are a very musical people—to discourse sweet sounds, now of a wild pathos, now al- most maddeningly gay and exciting. Such hearty, vigorous, agile dancing I never bebeld. It was a murvellous sight that assembly: of small folks un- der the Jevel of the earth, and it put me in miml of what I hack heard of thé Daiéne Sheah of the Scottish le- gends, and their revelry within some haunted bill, Peter Wow, the tallest man in the community, had attained the gigantic stature of five feet four and with his high red cap set jauntily on his gray locks, his enormous white beard and moustaches flowing down like a frozen river, aud his uniform costume of red- dish-brown cloth, looked uscommon- ly Hké the king of the Drows or Gnomes, as Norse’s superstitions de- scribe him. ’ The still more dwarfish ‘assemblage. presented every variety, from the grotesque and witchlike ug- liness of the:old women, to the infan- tine and dinmiputiye beauty of some of the young girls. The children were altiost all pretty and rosy of complex- ion, but age, if seems, comes on with terriby + swift strides among these d well- ers of the frozen world, .as well as with the sun-seorclied Asiatic; and I look- edi yain, for the pleasant matronly faces that pever fail to meet the eye ina teniperate clinjate. The next parning I had a surprise. A’shott ‘from the apper earth aroused me, and serambling tw the outer air, I beheld 'the rocks, the black pine copse, the ulGmitable moorlands, one daz-} zling, all-pervading sheet of blinding snow. Ail goue! the fair fowers, the song-birds, the uncultured fruits that offered their proffusion everywhere, bidoming heather, and green grass, all buried, until: uext - summer brought back thé daylight, beneath a eae em Soa-——egunieaiivedeas-nedee eee Siepeatpaneeeeaeaean Spence tee ee spotless, unvarying shroud of ’ vi snow. To my relief, | it was dark as I-had expected. A ie “ee hazy, shimmering light prevailed, like moonbeams through a mist. ‘Phe | pa northren wind blew kcen; and even | oran as I gazed, the ‘blinding snowflakes came whirling down, again, and seem- ed to bury thedead summer deeper at every instant. “They: are. ‘placking | touc the wild. goose’s feathera finely, up|a there; north,” said Peter Wow, uncon- scious that his. proverb was. an En- glish as well asa Lapland one. We all laid by our summer sce lae pat on our manifold wraps of fur and |. woolen, and betook us to winteraco-|w cations. And now came 4 ‘strange season when it was hard to say wheth- er it was day or night, or’ both, or neither. The lamps were never suf- fered to go out; the fiddles and. Seed the bone-flute and the musk-ox’s horn, were never.silent for three consecu- tive hours; and there seemed no reg- ular times for meals, or sleep, or work or recreation. On the contrary, music, and such simple labors as could be performed underground, and dancing and cooking, to say nothing of eating, drinking, and gossiping, went on ina promiscuous fashion through the twen- ty-four hours of what would, down south, been a legal day. I fany one felt tired or sleepy, he or she went tosleep; the hungry ate, the thirsty drank; the perpetual fires constantly cooked the most outlandish messes; the fiddles and drums went cn as if by self-act- ing; the reindeer were fed, tended and milked; birchen bowles were carved, horn-trinkets chiseled, and stories re- lated to gaping listeners, all at once, and all forever. 1 left off looking at my watch, except mechanically. I went about as a sleep-walker might; I dreamed standing. I passed a great part of that wonderful winter not un- pleasantly, but ina sort of amiable nigutmare. Of course, I saw no news- papers; the world might wag as it pleased? | It, was inthe daylight—I in the dark. Of course, I received no letters; the post’ courier was shut out along with the sun, and I was the tenant of a strange lamp-lit, moon- shiny world. We were not always underground. In the fine weather, the reindeer were driven out to browse on the lichens and mosses, from which they scratch- ed away the snow with their fore-feet. There were hunting parties, too, when we chased and slew the white wolves, the white hares, the martens, the deer, the birds, all and every one in their winter livery of white. There was the ermine chase, and the chase of the white fox, and a grand battle with an old giant of a bear, who presumed on the superstitious respect the Laps have for “Old Grandfather Wizzard,” as they calli‘him, and robbed the store- honses, until the thefts became iin- bearable, and a lucky shot laid him low. ) And then there were the giorioas drives! Oh, the wild excitement of sweeping over the snow in a deer- drawn sledge, swift as a havk on the wing, every bell jangling, and the wild driver singing as he cheers on his ant- lered team, that fly like the wind over the dazzling white moorlands! The worst of it is, it takes away your breath uncommonly; and when I wax- ed confident, and wowd drive person- ally, Iwas run away with, of course, upset with an awfal harl into a drift five fathoms deep, and dug out igno- miniously, amid much laughter of the little fulks, who greatly crowed over clumsy Gulliver. Still the drives were famous fun. I was frost-bitten twice, and revived by a snow-rubbing; but worse, I was struck with ‘snow- blindness, for I had to pass a fort- night in my cabia iu absolute dark- ness, and was not happy in the reflec- tion that my own obstinacy in refusing to wear snow-spectacles had brought this agreeable seclusion upon me. But the kind little folks bustled about me and told me the most wonderful sto- ries of gnomes, witches, genii, and so forth, all with perfect childish belief and gravity, and sang and played to me, and lightened my loneliuess con- siderably. When I recovered, I was thankful for the spectatles, and never suffered from the glare any more.

Like his eloquent father, Judge oian ce his elog fa pa £ Kerr was & borh orator, and like was a devoted Baptist . We have often heard him du the hustings and at the bar. When at his best he was a most mugnetic and captiva speaker. At.times. he was A fate brilliant and impassion - ed: We ‘have Him wheb his a ng out like a beagle sounding a pwan vleliege He ares any man. we have philosophical re- flectigns concerning the duties of life and the obligutione of citizenahip. At the bar he was quite noticeable for the admirable parentheses in which he woald give ex- pression to some subtile or acate philo- sopical or moral reflection that would kneven in profoand and give a pleasing variety toa severe legal ment. Tadge Kerr was an excellent lawyer. We once heard thelate Judge Gilliain say that he wasa capital lawyer, although men sometimes underrated his legal at- talnments because of the dash and splen- dor of his ora » Thies is not an uncom- mon mistake. Brilliant men have always been underestimated by the great. mass of men. Burkeand Sherdian, Fox and Grattan, Wirt and Pinckney, and many other world-witle famous meu, have some- times suffered from this erroneous judg- ment. Some people who plod themselves cannot believe that a man of magniticent powers and who svars can be really pro- fuand. They are pack-horses bearing their burdeus with due resignatiov, and creep ‘along at a solemn’ and decorous pace. To them this is the only safe and proper gait. The Arabian courser, swift as the wind, ag he dashve across the des- ert is to them an object of dislike. They Cantot see anything admirable in such unwonted fleetness. They are pack-horses and can ouly admire the pack-horse move- ment. There is no greater error possible in estimating men’s intellectual powers thay to suppose that exceeding brilliancy of nitd is incompatible with true great- ness and profundity of parts. The world’s greatest men have been its most splendid- ly endowed. Who approach Homer and Dante, Shakespeare and Milton, aud the poets; or Demosthenes and Cicero, Burke ‘and Sherdian, among the orators? Only they wha are endowed with rare and brii- liant genius, bat are still lower than the most maguificently gifted of the sons of men, At the bar Judge Kerr often made speeches of singular force and ingenuity. The Inst speech we ever heard him deli¥ - ev was at the bar jo reply to Gov. Gra- ham. It was remarkably ingenious and striking: His legal brethren thought they had never heard a more snecessfull effort from him. We onee beard him in a case which excited a great deal of personal feeling iu the county in whieh it was tried. Judge Kerr surpassed himself. We do not remember to have ever heard so elo- quent a speecls in a coart of jastice. We reeaH one incident. The large court room was literally packed. There were some thirty lawyers iu the bar, sented vear the speaker. Among them were Henry W. Miller, Romulus M. Saunders, Edwin G. Reade, William A. Graham, Robert B. Gilliam, Abram W. Venable, Perrin H. Busbee, and many, others of leputation. Mr. Kerr had been speaking for some time in a mest hypassioned manner... His in- tellect never appeared keener, hia descri p- tive powers were never better displayed, his invective was never mote corrosive or incisive. Across the bar rau a large stove-pipe, supported by upright irons. In the midst of one of the nwst splendid outbursts of impassioned eloquence, a young mau was so carried away by the great oratory that he tent with all his weight against one of the supports, when down fell the entire pipe directly across the bar and between the speaker and the Jory.

Why the two men- tioned above were called upon to do the holding back, we can’t determine, unless physical ability was measured by LEGAL ANE EDITORIAL ABILITY. coupled with the idea that such charac: ters are like balky horses—puall better backward than forward. Be that as it may, they broke a very large rope in the effurt, aud if holding back wasn’t prop- erly done, it was vo fault of theirs. Safely landed, the next step was to get & supply of water and tire up. The crit- ter was back down to the public well near by, and a good supply of water furnished, the different parts of the machine were put to their places, fuel was brought and fire applied.

We noticed one of our grave M.

The third session of the school at this place will commence the 15th of September, under the management of Prof. R. G. Kizer. He is an able teacher, te which he adds tireless en- ergy. Tuition islow, and board can be had in good families in and near the village ex- treinely low ; and when we consider the mor- ality and healthfulness of the locality, we ieel justified in saying to all who have chil- dren under their care to educate, that you cannot do better than to send them here. WwW. —_~—o Franklin Zephyrs. The Road Overseers on the old and new Mocksville roads are vieing with each other iu au effort to put their several sec- tions in good order. Having recently had oecasion to pass over nearly the whole of the latter named road, we found the hands: at work, and putting the road in excellent order. In- deed, all our overseers are making an ef fort ta dv their duty, aud our ronds were never in a better condition. “Thatta right boys. Continue your efforts and Frank- liu will soon be proud of her roads. Appropos of roads, the Comniissionors of Salisbury deserve great eredit and the tn, : at, oan Northy.of parewit where he geass of tho traveling community for a, Mena Job “of ‘work recently done on | twenty-one years.” | Also in Sec. 3 it says, “One or more pub- lic schools shall be maintained in each school district at least fonr mouths in every | year.” Now it is true that the Legislature does | lay a small tax upon the people for this purpose, when we see no public school (in our seetion, at least) lasting longer than three months per year, when we see that this shortness of the term and insufficiency of funds render the teaching we have prac tically of no benetit, would it not be wise | for this tax to be increased? The Jaws of ‘our State allow each couhty the right to tax its electors for the support of its schools, and whilst we are glad to know that Rowan does levy such a tax, yet if such tax be not sufficient for the needs of the case, what would wisdom suggest? We see constant- ly large sums voted by taxation to rail- j roads and other schemes of public internal improvement (and we cordially approve thereof), but would it not be wise to raise | somewhat more for the internal inprove- ment of the individual? Something of the kind must be done, if our common schools are to succeed. But, secondly, Section 17 of Art. IX, of the constitution says, “The General Assem- bly is hereby empowered to enact that every child, of sutficient mental and phys- ical ability, sald attend the public schools during the period between the ages of six and elghtcen years, for a term of not jess than sixteen months, unless educated by other means.” Is not this a wise provision ? and yet we have n@& such enactment. . The law of New York requires the attendance in school of fourteen weeks during each year from six to fourteen ycars of aye. Nearly all the New England States have similar laws, and North Carolina, without this law, presents, according to census sta- tistics, the darkest picture of ignorance in all the thirty-nine States. Germany has a similar law, and every State owes it to her- self and her future citizens to pass such regulations. That our citizens wifl not oppose it is shown from ther hearty adop- tion of the constitution containing this provision} Thirdly, we are glad to see that our State Board of Education has recommend- ed, in part at least, for exclusive use the University Series of school text books: not that we are admirers of that serics, tor we have-no hesitation in saying, that after an exaniination of it; we think it decidedly in- terior to pne or two other. series of schoo! books ; “but the “principle “is the point.

Editer Watchman: A brief description of El Dorado Township may not prove uninteresting to some of your many read- ers. El Dorado is bounded on the north by Davidson and Randolph counties, en the east by Uwharrie river, und on the south and west by the Yadkin. At least one-half of the township is covered with primeval forest, composed of pine, oak, maple, bigeh, hickory, poplar, elm, beech, walnut, &e, The cereals consist of corn, wheat, oats, rye, sorghum, and millet.— Among the fruits, the peach, apple, pear, fig, cherry (wild and gulfivated), plum (wild and cultivated), grapes.and musea- dines do well. Much attention is being given improved fruits. ‘The’ mineral pro- ductions are gold, silver, copper, sulphur, with traces of lead, tin, ziffe and nickel. All that portion of El Dorado lying east of Beaverdam abounds in gold, every square yard will show 'n “color,” and many places ‘pan out” mest beautifully. the largest amount of gold, though Me- Lain’s creek is by no means insignificant asa gold-bearivg stream. The principal work done on McLain’s has been on veins or leads and by men of limited means; which accounts for the failures in that di- rection. There has never been any sys- tematic or scientitic mining done, except op Beaverdam, and but little there. Un- iil very recently, gold has been found by accideit or “main strevgth.” The im- plements used consisting of pick, shovel, mattock, pau and rocker. The rocker very much resembles a molasses barrel sawed lengthwise in two parts. With these rude implements two hands ean dig and wash from five to fifteen basbels of “grit”? per day and the amount of gold re- sulting from this operation will vary trom oue to fifty penny weights. Gold bunting after this style is very tedious, particular- ly where there is mnch clay of a tenacious nature mixed ‘with the grit, and is mostly carvied on by a class known as “Goug- ers.” Ava rule they are ‘Indisposed to work at other ocenpations—have a great deal:gf that virtue so libernliy bestowed upon,that old patriet and. statesman of the land.ef Uz, and-their faith-and. hope Ny. armies in the city of Salisbury on the 23d of October next, has been received.

I nave been confined to my room and bed for tifteen years With scrofulous ulcerauions. ‘ihe most ap- proved remedies tor such cases had been used, and the most eminent physictans consulted, without any decided benetit. ‘Ihus prostrated, digyressed, de- sponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd Coun- ty, Ga., to commencethe use of your Compound Ex- tract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de- scribe the relief I obtained Ircm the use of the Stil- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate ideu of the in- tensity of my suffering before using your medicine ; sufiicient to say, I abandoned ail other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of Stillingia, until I can say truly, ‘Iam cured of all pain,” of all dis- eases, With nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any re- turn of the disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are ac- quainted with me. ] shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, Your obedient servant, J.C.

GENTS :—My daughter was taken on whe %th day of June, 1873, with what wassupposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated tor the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hop2lesa’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Comp und Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was ccnfi‘ed to her bed about six years before she sat 1 p or even turned over without help. She now sits up ail day, andrews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe sbe will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. J attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.

The power necded to transport the great- 000 feet radius aud grades of 20 feet per mile, would be 200,000 pounds, requiring steel ropes of most economical with carves of 12 diameter each. However, these would form a, costly part of the out- fit, the relative economy this system and that of the locomotive engine, inch as between for this peculiar service, can only be de- termined by exaet calculations.

The following are taken from the report of 8. P. Abert, Us civil engineer, upon the Survey of the Yadkin River, North Carolina, between the Bridge on the North: Carolina Railroad over the Yadkin River and the town of Wilkesbors. Distance from the Railroad Bridge near to Wilkesboro (miles) - 121.98 Total - - - 387.28 Avernge a ee ee Oe - 1.76 iv- = cost of rote | the Yadkin Rt for feet navigation, caitabie for light Meambonts - . - - $644,653.25 Average cost.permile - - - - 98,606.99 By the above report we have about 122 miles of the richest part of the State open- ed up at the expense of $3,645.29 per mile, and when we compare the cost of opening this river with the construction of a railroad, we are surprised that the river has not been opened Jong ago. We know of a railroad 47 miles long, not far from this place, built through a favorable country, that cost over $7,000 per mile ; and even a narrow guage road will cost fifty per cent. more, mile fur mile, than the opening up of this river. But there is another view of this question: Railroads of necessity are nearly always built upon the ridges, and all the rich re- turns of the valleys have to be hauled up to them. But this beautiful river flows through the principal valleys and drains those contiguous to it, and when opened up would bear upon its bosom the harvests of as fine agricultural lands as are in the State, It would carry to market the tim- ber on its low grounds and hillsides guit- able for the builder, the furniture maker, or the manufacturer of all kinds of imple- ments; and jt would place the large de- posits of lime roek on its banks within the reach of those who desire to use it; and in short, a large portion of seven counties that are now shut up from the commercial world would have an outlet for transportation that would bring to their doors wealth that they never dreamed of. But there is still another part of this Report that we wish to take a view of— Didiance from the Railroad Bridge near to Sycamore Ford, just below Danae sheets (ution : z - - 64.56 wee OE Fr “= st 8 Total gout of eat for light draft Ba’ —Sfeet - - -§81,671.85 Average cost per mile - - = = 98,265.05 Here we have over 64} miles of rich fer- tile valleys, that can be opened up at almost a nominal price, as compared with railroad butiding. The reader will ask why was not this river opened up to Bean's Shoals many years ago. We can only answer that the State has spent her millions on railroads, and overlooked her rivers, ‘ We hope that as the United States gov- ernment has made the survey, and that as the improvement as far as Bean's Shoals can be made with so little expense, that the Qewerpment willjat ance open, up the river to the above named place and give to those who dwell steng this noble stream one outlet for their abundant harvests and other surplus-supplies needed by the world, and alep return to us a part of the immense sums drewn from our State in the way of taxes on whiskey and tobacco. The New York ‘Demecrcy, jt seems generally conceded, have done wisely in re-wominating Governor. Robinson. The RRS ae te dim becanee of the friendship , existing between him.gnd ex-Governor Tilden ; but the Tammany men, after weeks of scheming, heoting and howling, with any gumber of threats and any amount of bitterness, withdrew from the conven- tion before a ballot was taken, secing that. their opposition would amount only to their own confusion. They went off and nominated Mr. Kelley, who, starting eut Tah ac deie ae a net ex- pect to be elecjyed, but did expect to de- feat the re-election of Gov. Robinson, openly avowed a degree of political m: a2- ness far below the approval of the aver- age democratef New Yerk or any other Sete, Tammany woald rule or ruin, aud this spirit, so plainly manifested, will receive little. or ne sapport from ~ - Gov: Robinson's admiuictration is de- . elared to have been eminently anccvasfal, and this isthe real ground work of his re-néntibation; and oa this the Demo- cracy of the State expect a decided vietory over all oppasition. , | ‘proposed Railroad subscription, and it is “yet in doubt, apparéatly, how it will be "-quttled, ..Thp, work jon the road is stijl |. “ding finished, It fs nut likely that all this will be (hpowp’ away. ‘The validity of the late election of the ‘aubject, ie be- | fore Judge Gtimer at Mocksville to-day. >on or Cetewayo, the Zulu king, South Africa, has been captured. ; i font eof « o 2 ‘b te « - a _ Bois Lody-sesemiiled ot Betheeds charech, Inddell county, op the 16th instant, aud was | opened With-e sermon by Rev.

The fall meetings are generally : short, and have not the amount of business that the spring meetings have. _Neverthe- jess there were some items of importance ‘eransacted. A petition from about ten per- aons for the organization of a church at ‘Troutman’s Dépot was granted. There is a fresh and thriving little village growing up at this place, aod Rev. Mr. Winn has been preaching here for some time, ina convenient hall belonging to. Messrs. Patterson and Steele. Within a mile of this place is the somewhat noted “poison “spring,” or Barium spring, with six others, sulphur and chalybeate, near by. The place may become in a few yearsa resort for health, and it is. well that a church should be established here. There was also a petition for the organization of another chutch at the Old Clio Academy place, eight or ten miles north of States- ville.-. The consideration of this matter was laid over till a meeting of Presbytery dur- ing the sessions of Synod. Steps were also taken to secure the education of young colored men who may desire to enter the ministry. Rev, J. H. Thornwell was elected Evan- gelist for Stanly county for the ensuing year. A resolution was unanimously adopted recommending that our members . refrain from attending upon the meetings of women preachers, since by their attend- ance they are encouaging that which is forbidden by scripture. After taking proper action upon the va- rious subjects of Education, Colportage and Foreign Missions, the Presbytery adjourned to meet at the call of the Moderator during the sessions of Synod in Statesville. The next semi-annual meeting will be held at Davidson College in April, 1880. The good news of revivals in some of our churches was heard, and one minister, Rev. R. W. Boyd, was prevented from attending, part of the time, by a remarkable work of grace in Unity Church. A destructive storm passed over the town of Rockingham, in Moore co., Mon- day evening the 8th inst. The Pee Dee Bee says that though it was of only two or three minutes duration, it was very alarming and destructive. It was ac- companied with large bail which did per- sonal damage to Mr. Graham who was out in it. Trees, fences, chimneys and buildings were damaged, and in many eases, utterly destroyd by it. The Aca- demy building was razed and totally wrecked; the guble end of Covington’s store blown in, and the school room prop- erty and the farniture of the K. O. H. in the upper reom of the building, destroy- ed; Covington’s Warehouse and Camer- on’s still house blown down; and ove fourth of the tin roof of Great Falls Cot- tod Mills torn off. OO A Grand Jury in Gairfield, S.

Charlotte has some thieves the equals of those of Chicago. The Obserrer pub- lishes the exploit.of one or more in rob- bing Mr. J. R. Holland’s residence, in that city, one night last week, which was suffi- ciently astonishing in its completeness to afford a newspaper man oceans of pleas- ure. One of two widely different lines of policy is usually pursued.in sach cases, to wit: Perfect quietness with artful watching, isone way; and running into the street and into the newspapers and fairly eereaming all the particulars into the greedy ears of the public, is the other. Which of these two modes is the best for the public good isa question which we shall not undertake to decide, buat we refer it to the consideration of bebating societies as abundantly worthy of study. >? oe “AN Honest Bor"—one who had been well raised and was believed to be honest,—was detected in robbing the drawer of the Railroad agent at Hickory, last week, and bas since run away to escape the law. He delivered up a part of the stolen money, while under arrest and then dodged out. The rigHt man man approaching in the right way might redeem the boy. If let alone he will most likely consorts with thieves and gamblers and anenemy to good society. Two negroes, says the Pee Dee Bee, Digg and Pig, near Diggs ferry in Robin- son, fell out about a finger ring. Pig struck Digg on the head with a fence rail, and thinking he had killed him, ran into the river and was drowned. Dr. J.J.

ROBBING AN EDITOR. We learn from an exchange that the house of a Pittsburg editor was entered by thives a few nights ago and the panf- try robbed. “The silverware,” says the report, ‘was left untouched, probably not being observed by the thieves in’ their haste. That is always the way. When thieves break into an editor’s house they generally leave with a coat worth silverware and his $700 diamond pin, and his two gold watches iv one of the drawers of his fifteen hundred dollar in- laid cabinet, built in Japan, and the valuable jewels presented him by the crown heads of Europe as a slight token of their esteem. These things are un- observed, and outsiders, when they read the report in the papers next day, cruelly remark: “Hm! the theives got about all there was of value in his house!” Thieves entered our residence one night during the war, and carried offour pock- et-book containing forty five cents in shoemaker’s bill which we intened to pay ing $4,000 in gold. and a package of &6,- 500 in government bonds were left an- touched, probably uot being. observed by the thieves in their baste.— Norristown Herald. ________—am-o@p oe Barning of the Planters’ Hotel. Friday night, about two o’clok, fire was discovered in a small room attached to and the whole hotel structure being wood- en and very ipflamable, iv a few minutes it was a mass of flames. The tire compa- nies were promptly ou the ground with their apparat®s and svon had streams playing upon the burning building. By tiremen the fire was confined to the main building of the hotel, and although that was burned inside completely the frame of the building was saved from the flames and left standing like a chared skeleton. We never saw any other frame-house so nearly burned to ashes and yet its frame saved from the very jaws of the fiend as this was, and we think the firemen are certainly entitled to uffstinted praise for their marvelous good work, There were several unimportant inci- dents of the fire, but no tales of hair- breadth escapes or imminent peril of life or limb, although the hotel was quite full of boarders and transient guests. Some few of them lost their entire stock of cloth- ing and one gentleman is reported not to have awakened until the bed he slept on had actually caught fire. He lost ail his clothivg and also his watch. The escape of all was easily effected, because the building was ouly three stories high in- cluding the ground floor. Much of the furniture was removed and would have been saved but for the pillaging of theives after it had been removed to places of satety from the fire.—Daarille News. a CS The Gatling Murder--The Guilty Par- ty in Jail and Makes a Confession. Albemarle Enquirer. The coroner's jury was not long in find- ing the guilty party in the atrocious Gat- ling marder, which took place on Tuesday of Jast week. 1t was ascertained that one W.H. Vann, who isa lunatic, and has been several times confined in jail in con- sequence of being unable to get in the insane asylum, had that morning gone in that direction with a club and a bouble- barrel shot gun. Upon examiuation it was ascertained that he had the evenin previous threatened to kill the deceased, for his not allowing him to ride with him from Winton. fe was also found that Vann’'s clothes were bloody, and that he had torne his coat-tail off to prevent the blood from being seen. The gun he had was his father’s, and was loaded with squirrel shot, iustead of back shot, as it wus ou the night previous. Under these and other strong circumstances, he was arrested and the jary found its verdict ac- cordingly. Vaun was placed in jail to await a trial at the October term of the the crime and the manner of performiu it on Monday last, giving as his ous “that he was in trouble, and he thought out of it.” A jury will say at October ae whether he.is guilty of murder or not.

He and several unmarried daughters lived t er in great simplicity. A youn man, N. M. Millen, son of the late Rev. 8. C. Millen, D. D., a greatly venerated’ minister of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, and during the. war president of the Simonton (then Concord) Female Col- lege, at Statesville, taught school in the neighborhood and boarded at Stikeleather's house. He learned that the family had several hundred dollars, and be organized a band composed of himself, Bradwell, the negro Roscboro and perhaps another, for the purpose of obtaining it. The attempt was made on the night: above designated. The door of the house was not locked—but only latched: Millen lifted the lntch and went in, while Bradwell stood on the porch and the negro kept watch at the gate The party, however, made a complete botch of the job, and were frightened away without obtaining anytliing. ‘The next day the rty were tracked to’ Bradwell’s tiouse. Millen, shrewder thai the ‘others, fled the State and has never heen arrested, thougha reward of $200 has been offered by the State for him, while Bradwell and Rose- boro were arrested. : Bradwell is a son of Dr. Bradwell, the proprietor of the St. Charles hotel at States- ville. He is about 40 years old, has a wife and two or three children,. is an opium eater and is regarded as weak-minded. The negro is entirely ignorant, and before this event was not regardéd as at all vicious. The presiding judge and the solicitor who prosecuted the case each addressed a letter to the Governor urging upon him the commutation of the sentence of death, and all the jury and nearly all the citizens of Statesville signed a petition to the same ef- fect. The people of Statesville and Iredell were almost to a man in favor of the exten- sion of executive clemency in the case, and the action of the Governor will be almost unanimously applauded.—Char.

And then there would be no fooling her as to the ages of the family, for if there is any one thing a Woman can do better than avoth- er, it is to tell at a glance how old people are—especially those of her own sex.

From the records of last year it was ascertained, with regret, that compara- tively few churches in the county have, in any way, aided or co-operated with this Society in procaring and circulating the Sacred Scriptures within its bounds; i consequently the sales were limited, aud ‘but little good accomplished vy this agency. 2. It was further shewn, that consider- able destitution of the Scriptures prevails in some sections of the county, which should be speedily supplied. 3. After mature deliberation, as to the most eeonomical and effectual wode of accomplishing the poble design for which this Suciety was ivstituted, it was unan- imously resvlved, that pastors aud mem bers of churches, of all denominations in the county, be earnestly requested to en- deavor to organize co-operative societies, with the Ruwan Bible Society, which is an auxillary of the parent American Bible Society, and an ivestimable blessing to the world. 4.

The ceremony occupied ten min- utes, concluded by a very impressive and touching congratulation by the minister. The blessing being pronounced, the wedd- ing party, amidst the peals of the organ, repaired to the residence of Capt. Alexan- der, to engage in the feasting and festivities incident upon such happy occasions. At nine, the joyous couple, followed by the attendants and ministers, repaired to the brilliant hall and partook ofthe preci- ous weight with which the bounteous table was groaning. The feast was exquisite in beauty and taste that beggars description, and was truly, “What we know, but can’t express.” Upon the bridal altar were laid presents, numerous, valuable, and elegant. The gen- tlemen attendants were elegant types of splendid gallantry, the ladies were all at- tired in snowy white and robes were decked in glowing freshness in the semblance of new blown roses, the flash- ing beauty of Venus was rivalled in their sweet features, and the skillful “herdsman at a loss to whom to award the golden ap- ple upon which was inscribed, “Let the most beautiful have me.” The cheerful occupants of the parlor were entertained by sweet music and happy voices, the C.

We congratulate the joyous unity and wish them # pleasant voyage down the stream of life. May the joy that enveloped the whole occasion go with and cheer them till Father Time shall land them on the blissful shores of evermore. JC: ¥: oe If We Cannot Help, Let Us not Hinder.

Cler- mont, who is serving outa term for participating in the famous Cham- bersburg Bank robbery, when the burglars got.away with $30,000 of the bank’s funds, laid his plans with great care. he succeeded in briving the watchman who has charge of the ferocivus blood- hounds which are kept in the jail yard, smuggled to his cell. in One “Colonel” Through a female friend and had also a rope ladder Dave Cum- ming, @ notorious burglar, who occu- pied the adjoining apartment, had at Tima elder teem inl) exaprcdin: the same time constructed a powerful the fal of Richmond, whee they were jack, with which to force the skylight in the roof, and they were to be fur- nished with duplicate keys by the watchman.

AIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; t the peaticnt is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. ‘The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanicd with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some- thing which ou; ght to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The paticnt complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of 2 prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be lencficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the discase, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

Other persons coming jnto the seat, crowded me quite close ap against the little girl so that we won felt very well acquainted, ‘There’s going to be agreat crowd,’ she said to me. ‘Yes’ I replied; ‘people always ike to see how schoolboys are made juto men.’ Her face beamed with pleasure and pride as she said : ‘My brother’s going to graduate; he's going to speak; I’ve brought these fuwers to throw to him,’ The were not greenhouse favorites; just old-fashioned domestic flowers, such a3 we associate with the dear gaudmthers ; ‘but, L thought, ‘they wil seem sweet and beautiful to him ee ee ’ fur bis little sister's sake. ‘That is my brother, she went on, pointing with her posegay, ‘The one with the light hair?

Then a bewildered, struggling look came into his face, then a helpless look, and then he stood staring vacantly, like a somnambulist, at the waiting audience. The momeuts of painful suspense went by, and still he stood as if struck dumb. I saw how it Was; he had been seized with stage-fright. large dismayed eyes upou me. ‘He’s forgotten it,’ she said. Then a swift change came into her face, a a strony determined look ; and on the funeral-like silence of the room broke the sweet, grave, child voice: and com- ‘Amid the permutation’s bination s of the actors and the furees which make up the kaleidoscope of history, we often find that a tura of Destiny’s hand—’ Everybody abont us turned and look- ed.

[ saw her whisper to him, he bending a little to catch her words. Later, I found out that she was asking him if he knew his piece now, and that he answered, yes. When the young man next had spoken, and while the band was play- ing, the child, to the brother’s great surprise, made her way up the stage steps, and:pressed through the throng of professors and trustees anid dis- tinguished visitors up to the college President. ‘If you please, sir,’ she said, with a little courtesy, ‘will you and the trus- tees let my brother try again? He knows his piece, now.’ For a moment, the president star- ed ather through his gold-bowed spectacles, and then, appreciating the child’s petition, he smiled on her, and went down and spoke to the young man who had failed. So it happened that when the band ceased playing, it was briefly annonn- ced that Mr. would now deliv- er his oration—‘Historical Paral- lels. ‘Amid the permutations and com- binations of the actors and the forces which make up the great kaleidoscope of history .

It is not always easy to please a wo- man. which has been recognized in all ages. When Socrates said to his jailers, “Give me the hemlock ; perhaps this will meet Xantoppe’s views, and then ont.” He obvi- ously had in mind the thousand and more times that he had vainly tried again, perhaps it w to hit that lady’s humor and avert from his head the all-avenging broom- stick. Sometimes a woman will scold aman for not doing some particular thing, and then, when he subsequen- ly does that precise thing, will call him a meddlesome and impertinent person. So often bas this occurred, that a wise observer of men and wo- men once asserted that. he pleases a -woman best who never pleases her at all, ‘his might have been said by a Boston philosopher, but it so happen- ed that it was not. In fact, a very eminent philosopher of that school once seriously contemplated saying it, but refrained on the grouad that, al- though it was sufficiently paradoxica! | jit was not sufficiently obscure to be ‘really profound. There recently occurred near St. ' Louis an interesting incident, which painfully illustrated the difficulty ot pleasing a woman. It should be men- tioned that the woman. in question, who was young and pretty, was also ‘very wet, and everybody knowns that a& wet Wowan is far more exacting and captious than a dry woman. Still, jinasmuch as this particular yoang woman was excessively hard to please when she was thoroughly dry, it may wetness did not be assumed that her make any material change in her char-) acter. The story is undoubtedly a true one, for it appears in substance in -a Missouri Democratic paper, which | : » rate, let us ask the gentlmen to with- ‘cannot tell a lie. As, however, few of tie subscribers to the paper can read, it can hardly be said that the story has been fairly published. In the town of La Grange, a small settlement on a branch of the Missouri River, resides an extremly beautiful young lady. Among her lovers are two who have hitherto been popular- ly regarded as the leaders of the field gnd on whom the local betting has been very nearly even. One of the two—Mr. Scott—is a young man of the most gentle and amiable disposi- tion, whose constant effort is to please his lady-love. The apples that young maz has bought her, the times that he has taken her to ride, and the money that he has lavished in ice-cream for her benefit could not be computed without a large consumption of chalk. In point of moral character he has selduim been equaled and never excel- led. He is especially conspicnous for his extreme and delicate modesty, and it is believed that in this particular he could give odds to the most vio- lently and obviously delicate maiden lady of advanced years in Missouri or any other State. Mr. Dobbs, his rival, is in all re- spects his exact opposite. Mr. Dubbs is addicted to horse-racing and other wicked ways, and be has never been known to put himself to the slightest inconvenience or expense in order to gratify the young lady whom he pro- fesses to admire. On Monday, Wed- nesday and Friday evenings-—the other evenings of the week being pre- danger! ‘Phe heroin the youth was He went at his ‘piece’ with This isan axiom the truth of | Miss Wilson’s conduct was shameful.

Tn fact, for the last six months the betting has several times been ten to ; bine on Dobbs, and on one occasion, | when he bought a new pistol on | Wednesday morning, so hopeful did his marriage prospects seem to his _ backers, that they offered eight to six (on him, with few takers. It was of- ten remarked that Mr. Scott lacked energy, and that when Mr. Dobbs was entirely ready to marry the girl he would kill Mr. Scott, pitch old Mr. Wilson out of the window, and carry off his bride to the nearest Justice of the Peace. Three weeks ago Miss Wilson took part in a pic ‘tile excursion, and Messrs. Dobbs and Scott, of course, were also in the party. The entire company, including say thirty persons of assorted sexes, were lounging after dinner on the bank of the stream when Miss Wilson suddenty felt a desire to walk out on a log that projected into the water. Mr. Scott implored her not to do it, and Mr. Dobbs, tempo- rarily removing his pipe from his mouth, remarked, “You'll get pretty blanked wet if you try it.’ Neverthe- less, the williul beauty persisted in her purpose, She had nearly reached the end of the log when it turned un- der her, and with a sharp shriek, she fell headforemost into the stream. The water was about four feet deep, with a bottom of soft mud, and in this latter the head of the unfortunate young lady penetrated some distance. Being thus anchored, as it were, her feet waved wildly above the surface, and mutely begged for help. It was an awful and impressive scene, and most of the ladies who were present subsequently said that no one could call them prudish, they must say that Mr. Scott and Mr. Dobbs simulta- The former first reached Miss Wilson’s feet, neously rushed to the rescue. but, instead of seizing them and pul- ling her out, stood as though wrapp- ed in profound thought. In another. moment Mr. Dobbs was at his side, and would have caught the nearest of the waving feet had not Mr. Scott laid his hand on kis arm and begged “Tt will be,” said Mr. Scott, “to the last degree indelicate to ‘him to reflect. pull her out by the feet, and I am ;sure she would not like it. At any draw and tuen leave the ladies to ex- tricate our poor friend.” To this Mr. | Dobbs simply made a monosyllabic aud theological reply, and promptly hauled Miss Wilson out. When that young lady had been somewhat repaired, so that she no longer resembled an inverted umbrel- Ja with a curious duplex handle, ber first act was toslap Mr. Dobbs’ face and tell him that he was a brute and a coward to insult her by pulling her out by the feet. Mr. Scott, eager to improve the opportunity, hastened to remark that he had warned Mr. Dobbs not to de it, and had himself refrain- ed from touching her feet. Another slap, and a demand to know if he was really fool enough to be willing to let her drown, was the reply which as- tonished Mr. Scott. After which Miss Wilson burst into tears and call- ed her father to take her home. Now, here was a young lady who was angry with one man because he had pulled her out of the water and with another because he had not done ! so. ‘To please such a girl was mani- festly an impossibility. Mr. Scott, at all events, gave up the attempt, and left town that very afternoon without saying good-bye to Mr. Dobbs, who was waiting ata street crossing to wish him farewell with a shot-gun. C., SEPTEMBER 25, 1879, rece nee the way, is the young lady’s name— a set purpose to. conquer, to redeem ‘and sit fur an hour with his chair himself, and to bring the smile back tipped bac into the child’s tear-stained face.

The disease is due to the growth ofa microscopic plant or fangus of the Aspergillus family. It especially thrives when, from any cause, the secretion of wax |in the ear is stopped or hindered. The microscope isa valuable assistant in the discovery of this fungus. Consumption, the most disastrous malady that affliets humanity, is now said to be caused by a yeast plant that flourishes in the blood. The presence of this fungus in the blood is readily shown by the microscope, and now forms the subject of careful study among physicians. Dr. Ephraim Cutter, M. D., of Bos- ton, Mass., has devoted much labor to this subject, and, we understand, las recently produced micro-photo- graphs of the fungus with Tolles’ re- markable objective. We believe that Dr. James H. Sal- isbury, of Cleveland, Ohio, was among the earliest to detect and describe this curious yeast plant of the blood. Luck and Labor. Many people complain of their bad luck when they ought to blame their own want of wisdom and action. Cob- den, a distinguished writer in Eng- land, thus wrote about luck and labor : _ Luck is always waiting for some- thing to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes anda strong will, turns up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy. Labor turns out at six o’clock, and with busy pen, or ringing hammer, lays the foundation of a competence. Luck whines, Labor whistles. Luck relies on chance. Labor on character. Luck slips down to indigence. Labor strides upward to indepen- dence. Dipn’t Kxow it was LoapEp— A Sap AccIEENT.—A very unforta- nate and distressing accicent, says the Wilson Advance, occurred in Nash county last Sunday week.

Take the fact of feneing ninety. acres into four fields, for pasturing thirty cows or cattle. These fields would be 22} acres, and would require :720 rods of fence. Now, if this fence cust only $1 per rod, and if we suppose it to last twenty years, then the decay will amount to five per cent. a year, and the labor of annual repair is general- ly estimated at five per cent. The interest on the original cost at seven is found out per cent. would be $50.40, and the} The ten per cent for decay and repair $72, is rg 2 Aygaseg das? making $122.40 as the annual expense etd teat eek s the ios Be for fencing a pasture for thirty head | The Star upholds ot ae" of cattle.

Williams carefully prepared the fence statistics of Walworth county, Wis- consin, and after deducting for waste | ed lands in ponds and Jakes and one-half of the division fences, he makes the annual cost for the whole county about $1 per acre. Mr. Prince, of Maine, goes into an elaborate calculation of the cost of fences in that State in 1860, and the result does not vary much from an annual cost of $1 per acre. — The late Ezra Cornell took a great in- terest in studying this question, and gave his views in an address before the State Agricultural Society of New York in 1862, and he arrived at the conclusion that the average cost of fencing for every acre inclosed in that State is $1 per annum. If then we take this as a fair estimate in the old- er States, every acre of the farm must be charged at this rate, or a farm of 300 acres, which usually keeps about 60 head of cattle, would pay a fence tax of $300 in labor and material.— The smaller the farm and the smaller the lots the greater the cost of fence per acre. me —--— Tapioca CREAM.—One coffee-cup of tapioca in three pints of new milk; soak over night.

We have to do the will of God in our busi- ness: this is working. Wehave to op- pose our bosom sin and to resist tempta- tion ; this is fighting. We have, finally, to endure with cheerfulness and submis- sion whatever cross the Lord Jesus pleases to lay upon us; this is suffering. And to be right iu the praetical depart- ments of the Christian life is summed up in these three things, to work devoutly, to fight manfully, and to suffer patitently. Each man’s wisdom and re must consist in doivg, as well as his faculties will admit, the work which God sets him. And now that the true motive, whicl. lifts up the humblest duties into a higher atmosphere, and refines away their earthliness, and glorifies them: “Whatso- ever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto men ; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance ; for ye serve the Lord Christ.” —Goldburn. { A MaLicnant Fever In M Hon.

The merchants are the first to discover changes cither for the better or the worse, and just now their heavy purchases of dry goods may be re- garded asa sure sign of improvement in the finamcial condition of the country. We learn from private sources that the trade in New York opened earlier this year than last by two weeks, and sales have been heavier, and this, when goods have an up- ward tendency, must be regarded as a sure | sign of batter times. Cotton goods have moved up acent or two in the yard. No more nice caticos now at 6 and 7 cents. It may be a long time before they return to these low figures. The advance is due in part, no doubt, to the stopping of mills in this country and in’ Envland, which lus certainly diminished the bulk of goods on thé market, Avery murked change has algo ocedrred in the IRON BUSINESS. Prices have gone up from 20 to 30 per cent. within a few weeks, resulting in very con- siderable excitement among = mangtac- turers and dealers throughout the country. Wholesale dealers within the last cight or ten days have recalled from country mer- chants their former quotations and_ state their ime bility at present to give new rates with exactness; The upward tendency js in all lines of manufactured goods, and is given'as the result of increased cost of jrott and labor. Pig iron has gone up since last July. fromi $18.50 @ 819. per ton, to 325 @ $26, And the movement is general, em- bracing alk the important sources of pro- duction throughout the country. Manu- factiabors ef jog goods have followed suit, and all-dealers ia hardware will feel the change and advance prices accordingly, Cut'nails which three wecks ago were sold in this market at 24 cents by the keg, are vow queted at 34 cents. Tyre iron has advaneed 1 cent on the pound, and indced all irom and stee! goods have gone up; and such is the fluctuating state of the market that wholesale dealers decline to make quo- tations except of current rates ou the day. ‘Phe ron Age otf September 18, from whieh*we glean most of these facts, repre- seats the demand for manufactured goods ag very active; and the stock in hand being inadequate to supnly it, a further rise may be expected. .

Indeed, this opinion has been expressed to many of his’ friends in Utica and at Washington aud to politi- cians and journalists iu this State. So well were his opinions known at Wash- ington that it was rumored he would make a great speech on the Louisiana vote and prove that of right it should be counted for Tilden. To me he said: 1 believe that when the whole trath is known it will siuk this admistration— President and all—to the lowest depths ot infamy.” Purting this @eclaration aud his opinion of ‘Tilden together, FE could come to ho other conclusion than that if any other man but Tilden had been the Democratic candidate tor the Presidency and there had been leadership that he could trust on that side he would have broken off from “fraud,” spoken out for What he thought was right and justice and would have thus held for himself the leadership of his State. ‘Vilden’s grip was weak he temporized and let the opportunity pass. At least one leading Democrat of Utica was bit- terly disappointed at this result, for he had prophesied that Coukling would come boldly out, make Mr. Tilden presi- deut in 1377, aud be himself the presiden- tial candidate of the Democratic party in Tee. When finally Mr. Conkling made up his mind to remain with Graut aud his old party, he went in vigorously for the use of any and all repressive measures to: keep the party in power. Although he’ | had been, as he said, the sole and original jinventor of the Eleetorial Commission, and thus saved the nation, he was still in fear of some act that might provoke bloodshed. In both his case and that of } General Woodtord, Lo was particular to pless the question astotheextent to whieh they feared bloodshed, and in each case the enswer was much the same. Senator Couklug professed te have special infor- mation as to the number of men enrolled in Certain sections in the North, and vow- | ed to carry ‘Pilden to the White House at the point of the bayonet —siving Ohio 70,000 men under command of General Steediman. This enrolment was supposed to have taken place before the invention of the Electorial Commissiou by the Sena- tor, Afterwards the peril seems to have grown still deeper, for the Senator said: “Tnever knew President Grant so agita- ted. His anxiety haunted him night and | day. He said to me repeatedly that his one desire was to lay down his office with- out getting himself embroiled in any quarrel, and to go abroad and leave his cares behind him. Yet he would have | seen the Republican candidate seated if | : : 7, | he had to buckle on his sword todo it. | ee a ee | THURMAN. | AN ABLE MAN WITH ONE WEAKNESS. | | | | { great | Herald Correspondent. Senator Thurman is a oman. of ability and of great success. In the course of a walk and conversation with him he briefly sketched the story of his | political career. The recital was sugges- ted by what General Grant had said about his never accepting any public po- sition unless it was tendered to him with- out his own request. Thurman’s election to Congress, his election as judze of the Supreme Court, and his subsequent elee- tion and re-election as Sepator, were all, as he explained, unsolicited. From the time he merged from privacy he gained confidence ; he has vindicated it) by a long, arduous and spotless career, giviag to his duties his whole attention, depriv- ing himself of the income which might have accrued from the practice of law between sessions of Congress, and thus preserving a positon and reputation as superior to malice and scandal as it is superior to any criticism except that which concerns exhalted statesmanship. The flaw which his best frienés long ago discovered in senator Thurman’s charac- ter was that which enemies describe as “political cowardice.” Tuk Davis Letrer.— The Philadelphia Times remarks, concerning the letter of Hon. Jefferson Davis, just now published : “Unlike Grant, Davis seems to have the faculty of writing declinations which really decline the author.” More than this, the Times intimates that it was very cruel of Mr. Davis to have hurled this letter upon the public just at this time, when the or- gans were preparing to fling themselves into the breach and make the fight in the pending campaign on the return of Jeff Davis to the United States Senate. And still more than this, this influential inde- pendent journal sgys it is a sensible letter which Mr. Davis has written, and this all the world must own.—Charlotte Observer. ~~ _ The court of impeachment of the Geor- gia Legislature has declared the Comp- troller guilty of the charges against him, and refused to remove the elanse dis- qualifying him from hereafter holding of- | tice. = ee Cay Jacksuy's Bost Sweet Navy Tobacco and down the room, eigarin mouth.

The only ways to keep the wax worms from destroying the comb is, firat to sup- ply the hive with an efficient queen. If this cannot be done, the only other rem- edy is to take the comb cut. Up to the last of Jane a queen can be supplied in the following manner: first, take a queen from a healthy hive, put her in a wire cloth cage with a dozen other bees from same hive, and some sponge saturated with honey ; cut out a piece of comb from the queenless hive the size of enge. Insert cage in hive and let it re- mdin 24/hours. At the end of this time the qneen may be turned loose in the hive ; the bees will receive ler. Another way take a piece of comb full of young before they are capped ; insert it in queenless hive. The bees can make @ queen. ge methods may be practiced from fio'fast of March till the last of June. After this time 1 kiow of no way to rem- edy the evil. C7 PLYLER: Se : THE CQW PBA, DOLICHOS, [SINENSIS 7] We copy from Prof, A. R. Ledoux’s Annaal Report of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, for 1879, the following : “This plant is peculiarly a ‘Southern Inatitation’ ag yet, and prized as it is by some, farmers who understand its value, it is nevertheless astonishing that so little use is made of its excellent feeding qual- ities, its wonderful power to recuperate our worn out sandy lands, and to serve as a fallow crop and weed destroyer. Its beneftcial effects may be divided into two cjasseg—mechanical and chemical. Thg mechanical advantages derived from sewing the pea, are more or less those obtained by sowing any green svil- ing crop. They are chiefly due to the covering of the soil. Cuthbert Johnson Bays: ‘An English farmer inadvertently left for some months a door in his fallow field ; for several years after, the crops were particularly luxuriant where the door had been lying, so much so that one wonld haye gajq that some rich manure had been applied to that spot.’ An eminent Scotch writer (Anderson, in hits Economy of Manures) has the fol- lowing passage : ‘Every practical farmer knows, or ought to knew, for the facts are constantly be- fre liig observation, that land can be wide exceedingly fertile without manure. He must jaye poticed that if any portion of the soil has been covered, either ac- sidentally or designedly, for gome time by water, stones, planks, logs, chips, brush, Pails, corn-stalks, straw, buildings Of every description, with hay or straw eka, leaves oy clover, and, jn fact, that mpder any and every substance which has covered its surface closely, it—the sur- facé soil—invariably becomes exceeding- ly fertile, and that the degree of this fer- tility ig totally independent of the cover- ingumbstance. | Dr. C. Harlan, in his excellent paper on Farming with Green Manures, calls atteutign to the value of this eqvering of tha, apil, in fhe following words : ‘After reading these remarkable state- mepta of Johuson and Anderson, above given, both men of extensive observation and intelligence, we can more fully cred- iv the experiments of Gurney, in Eng- land, upon his fields gf grass.’ ‘fizeen grass covered with straw gave him i oge month 5,870 pounds per acre. The same kind pf grass uncovered pro- duced but. 2,207 pounds. No rain fell daring) this experiment. Another plot gaveda oue month, when covered, 3,460 poids per acre ; while the rival lot, not covered, yielded but 979 pounds. Clover thet was covered grew six inches, while the‘navovered grew but one and a half. And Where a certain quantity of stall dang would double the quantity of grass, theMnilch spread on top of the manure Would increggg the crop six times. He need about one ton and a half of straw per’ acre.’ ‘Beiysiogault found, upon compairing water obtained by melting two portions of sug, one taken as it fell upon a stone pertact, und the other (from the same fall} afer ited lain for 36 hours upon the scibof a contiguous garden, that the séeut contained fey times as much am- as the other. It is well kpown snd has a most beneficial effect soils, and among other causes, Boussinguult believes that it may ‘act in preyepting amusoniacal emanations from the soll.’(Journal of the Royal Agri- eultupal Society of England.) sow wpe can belieye there is muc shee in the old proverb, that ‘Snow : the poar man’s manure.’ ‘Nop having stray, uor any barn-yard material, to top-dreas his wheat, he. has often noticed tha. his erop was much better when kind Nature covered it for him,’ ‘Does not this investigation of the great chemist (Bonssingault) reveal to us one, if not more, of the deep and far reaching causes why mulching is so beneficial to the land ?” Professor Juhnson saya t ‘The ammonia of the soil is consfantly in motion or suffering change, and does not accumulate to any great extent, Tp summer the soj! daily absorbs ammonia from the air, reesiving it by rains and dews, or acquires it by the decay of veg- etable and animal matter. Daily, too, ammonia wastes from the soil by volati- zation, accompanying the vapor of water which almost unceasinzly escapes into the atmosphere.—(How Crops Feed, p. 247.) ‘This is a revelation of scientific truth,’ says Dr. Harlan, further, ‘which cannot be misunderstood or explained away. Was ever a stern necessity todo anything more clearly demonstrated to the world ? We must keep the soil covered to pro- mote and retain its richness. But how often do we strip the ground naked, and then bake it in the ever-burning sun !’ Comparatively little has been written (or if written, accessible) in our agri- cultural journals about the caw-pea, nor has it ever before been carefylly anal- yzed, so far as I can learn, In the Char- lotte Democrat of May 9th we find the following, which is a popular description of the | ‘STOCK OR COW PEAS.’ ‘The grpwth of the stock pea is inter- esting, because of its value as a fertilizer and for hay for the farmer. There are several varieties grown here, all distinct from each other in color and value. The ‘Whippoowill’ is small and speckled ; makes but little vine, and is in little de- mand. The ‘Crowder’ is of a clay color ; the largest of all and most saleable be- cause of its handsome appearance and valuable properties. It is not prolific at all, and is hard co raise. There are sel- dom any in this market. Its name arises from the crowded manner the peas grow in the pod. The ‘Black Pea’ is worthless, except for green manuring and hay. It makes enormous vives and little fruit. The ‘Black-eyed Lady’ makes little vine, is fine feed, comes early and is consider- ed the best for the table. The ‘Clay Pea’ —the most popular, and the best of all for everything for which the pea is used —is now sellivg here for seventy-five cents per bushel. I meanthat merchants are paying that price, and holding for better prices before selling. ‘The peculiar characteristics of this pea are as follows: It bas no tendrils, but twineg like beans, or runs upon its own foliage. It is of rapid growth, making in three months, on ordinary land, an almost impenetrable mass of foliage two feet high, and so very dense that it destroys all other vegetation—even the thistle, ragweed and other noxious weeds. When well cured, these vines are simply inval- uable for hay, worth as ascertained by actual experiments, thirty-three to fifty per cent. more than timothy. The only difficulty in making them the leading crop for hay, is that it takes three days tocure them. Cattle and horses prefer such hay to the best of herd grass, and even to coru. Pea vines are the best fer- tilizer we can use. By experiments, one crop of peas, turned under in July or August, has proved equal i value to a two year old clover sod. Full of nitro- gen and water, they decompose in a short time. I have frequently cut off the vines before they began to run (in July) and by August the roots would throw out new vines two feet long. So far as raising the stock pea for seed, or sale, further north than this (Va.), it would be im- possible.* This climate and our seasons have all they can do to yipen the crop here. We sow the first of May and they never ripen earlier than the last of Au- gust or the middle of September.’ The botauists recognize somo sixty or more species of Doiichos ; some natives of the pld world, some of the new. Several species are said to be cultivated in the South, as has already been shown. Twa varieties were analyzed, as- will be found below. The species are not well defined in aj] cases, and there are many hybrids, as every farmer knows. Though called ‘peas,’ they are more nearly related to the bean. The history and identity ot this interesting plant is still very ob- scure. It is my intention to make a more complete study of the ‘cow pea’ at an early day and publish the result as a monograph. he farthest north that any entensive experiment has as yet been wade with this pea, as far as I can learn, isin Monmouth gounty, N. J., where very heavy crops were obtained in 1877. A visitor to the farm writes for the American Agriculturist as follows: ‘On approaching the farm we encoun- tered one field. There may have been 7 or 8 acres in it, and the peas covered the field so that the ground could not be seen, nor the faintest color of it, even where the plants were most erect. Where they were lodged, as most of them were, they formed a dense mat, ong or two feet thick. No sunlight conld penetrate to warm the soil; not a weed could start ; and as a fallow crop and weed killer, 1 can hardly imagine anything superior.’ ” We onit the analyses as given by the Prof. for the reason that so few would take the trouble to study them with pro- fit. The foregoing parts are more inpor- tant to the general reader for whose ben- efit we publsh this article. a *The writer is mistaken i ° . seen futher ieee this, as will ————_. Po —___....

Influence of the Mind on the Body, Andrew: Crosse, the electrician, had been bitten severely by a cat, which on the same day died from hydrophobia. He seems resolutely to have dismissed from his mind the fears which must naturally have heen suggested by these circum- stances. Had he yielded to them, as most mefi would, he might not improha- bly have succumbed within a few days or weeks to an attack of mind-created hy- drophobia—so to describe the fata] ail- ment which ere now has been known to kill persons who had been bitten by an- imals perfectly free from rabies. Three months passed, during which Crosse en- joyed his usual health. At the end of that time, however, he felt one morning a severe pain in his arm, accompanied by thirst. He called for water, but “at the instant,” he says, “that I was about to raise the tumbler to my lips, a strong spasm shot across my throat; immedi- ately the terrible conviction came to my mind that I was about to fall a victim to hydrophobia, the consequence of the bite that I had received from the cat. The agony of mind I endured for an hour is indescribable ; the contemplation of such a horrible death—death from bhydropho- bia—was almost insupportable ; the tor- meuts of hell itself could not have sur- passed what I suffered. The pain, which had first commenced iv my hand, passed up to the elbow, aud from thence to the shoulder, threatening to extend. I felt all human aid was useless, aud I believed that I must die. At length I began to reflect upon my condition. I said to my- self, ‘Either I shall die, or I shall not; if I do, it will only be a similar fate which many have suftered, and many more will suffer, and I must bear it Jike aman; if, on the other hand, there is any hope of my life, my only chance is iv sammcning up my utmost resolution, defying the at- tack, and exerting every effort of my mind.’ Accordingly, feeling that phys- ical as well as mental exertion was neces- sary, I took my gun, shouldered it, and went out for the purpose of shooting, my arm aching the while intolerably. 1 met with no sport, but I walked the whole afternoon, exerting at every step I went a strong mental effort against the disease. When J returned to the house I was de- cidedly better; I was able ta eat some dinner, and drank water as usual. The next morning the achiug pain had gone down to my elbow ; the following day it went down to the wrist, and third day left me altogether. IT mentioned the circumstance to Dr. Kinglake, and he said he certainly considered I had an at- tack of hydrophobia, which would prob- ably have proved fatal had [ not strug- gled against it by astrong effort of mind.” Cornhill Magazine. a the Hay fever is so general in the North that an association known as the “United States Hay ITever Associa- tion” has been organized.

Govy- ernor Hutchinson onght to be a trustworthy witness, ae he wae a Puritan himself, a learned man, and much esteemed—althongh it is said that “he loved fame, and feared giving of- fence”? —and hence he “published a few only of those truths, which failed not to procure him a proportionate share of popular distrust and odinm.” : Peters did not number his “Blue Laws,” but they are generally quoted by numbers for con- yenier.ce—-consiating altogether of 44 sections of which P virtually admits the truth of all excepl 5, 10 wit: 19. “No one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair, or shave, on the Sabbath day.” 29, “No woniin shall kiss her child on the Sabbath or Fasting day.” 31, “Whoever wears cloaths trimmed with gold, silver, or bone lace, above two shillings by the yard, shall be presented by the grand jurors, and the selectmen shall tax the offender at £300 extate.” 1 35 No one shall \ 35 read) Commor Prayer keep Christmas or Saints-days, make minced pies, dance, play cards, or play OM any Instrn- ment of music-except the drum, trumpet and jew'ssharp.” ; 45. “Lyvery male shall have his hair cut round according to a cap.” Thexe are the only laws in the collection. of Peters which P and the Puritan apologists and defenders generally except to, No. 31 is prov- ed true, and no forgery, by Mr. Trumbull him- self (p. 151), although he neglects to publish | the “law,” but contents himself merely with a reference to it. As to No. 19, it was certainly the law. See Trumbull, pp 184, 252, 286. It is almost literally the law now in portions of New Englas.d.

Concluding an article upon this subject it says: “iis letter is manly and courteons, and | may le studied with profit by those sen- timental gushers who are ready to shake hands across the bloody chasm and cast into oblivion & recollection of what it cust in life and treasure to save this Nation from a cruel aud bloody rebeliion to take its life.? Nothing could be plainer than this lan- gnage. There is no ambiguity here; uo mincing offermes; no dodging the main gnestion, The Republican means that it is not yet prepared to shake hands across the bloody chasm and to bury the memo- ries of the war out of sight. It wants no fraternization, and it has the candor to sayoso.

Tire coolest specimen of insolence that has ajrpeared in the press for some months is the ro mark of Mr. Hayes, that “there is a suspicion of trickery hanging about Filden.” When we consider that this comes from the man who holds the Presidential office sto- len from Mr. Tilden, and that this man has admitted complicity in the colossal crime by paying the vulgar criminals who _per- formed the dirty details of that diabolism, we get an idea of brazen cheek that is as novel as it is disgusting. Tlrere 1s no sus- picion of trickery hanging about Mr. Hayes. His own acts crystalized suspicion. into ab- solute certainty long ago.— Wash. Post, Dem. Inthe olden day and before 1860 the governing class in the South was notorious- ly thoughtful, honest and stern in all mat- ters relating to political economy, finance, debts and taxation. Mississippi repudiated, it is true, but so did Pennsylvania, and so more recently has Minnesota. Whence and why the changeat the South? Before 1860 the South would have ducked a candidate for office who advocated a legal tender treasury note or flat money. Do bankersin Amsterdam. Frankfort, Paris and London say that there has becn no repudiation, no financial dishonesty in the United States outside of the South?

To assume that it always is, isa custom fraught with injustice to litigants, wit- nesses and to the people at large. Under the present law governing, or rather not governing, this matter of contisuance, the court is powerless, and men whose lives and characters are at stake, are not dcter- red by the penalties of perjury from swear- ing to anything necessary to gain time, aud the affidavits are seldom too weak in a case of felony to procure a continuance, If the enactment, of such a statute as that proposed does not (as it,cannot) obviate entirely future coptinuanccs except “for cause,” it will at least be a long step in that direction and will considerably modify the evil so justly complained of. The attention of the press is now jnyited to the question, and notice is given that, unless a better remedy is suggested, we shall urge upon the next General Assembly the enactment of such a statute as that above proposed. The evil complained of is a erying evil, and legislation having in view the remedying of it cannot be too strenuously urged. —Char. Observer. We are wedded to no particular plan for accomplishing the end proposed in this article, but for more than a year we have been urging, occasionally, that this evil of removing causes and delaying the speedy operation of the laws, was a great wrong to the tax-paying public, and should be rem- edied. The plan proposed above is the best we have yet seen; and coupled with that other idca of drewing jurymen from other counties, instead of removing the causes, nay be casily wrought into a sys- tem by which the public may be duly pro- tected without injustice or wrong to parties on trial. The present system is oppressive to the industrious and Jaw-abiding portion of the community, and they should demand the reform here proposed. There is no sense nor justice in allowing a house-burner, horse-thief or murderer, after you have caught him, to fool away two or three years in needless removals and other de- lays at the expense of the public whom he had outraged. ~~~ - +o MAKING BRICK ON SUNDAY. London Telegraph. Wonders will never cease. A supernat- ural appearance is reported from Ermland, which must have beeu more astonishing than the most iuexplicable of the myste- ries laid before us by the most dexterous conjarers. Ona recent Sunday morving, an impious brick-maker of Schonbruck, near Allenstein, was feeding his kilu with fuel. Just at the hour of holy mass he happened to look at the open furnace door and in the very middle of the flame he perceived a beautifal maiden with a child in her arms. Turning round in obe- dience to an irresistible impulse, he saw standing close behind him, a =trange. blaeck-bearded fellow leering hidiously, and holding between his teeth an inean- descent cigar. With singular presence of mind the perplexed brick-maker reverted to the kiln-door, and cast more fuel into the furnace. Upon this the radiant mai- den vanished and the infant suddenly split into two halves. At that moment the bells of the neighboring churches rang out in notification that the elevation of the host was then taking place within the sacred edifice. Immediately the evil- looking individnal, in whom the brick- maker had instinctively recognized the Father of Lies, disappeared with an angry growl, and the overwrought brick-maker fell down in a swoon, from which he only Charlotte and Wilmington. the North. the least foundation. order. mington. satistactory to all parties, Tam, yours most truly, early day go into effect. of western North Carolina.

We presnme that his INMAN, favorite braud is labelled “Infernales,” and is distinguished from mere mortal weeds by an uncommonly full flavor. We would note in this connection, that a brick-maker in this town was cured of Sunday work by what he ever after re- garded as an act of God to restrain him from Sabbath violations in the conduct of his business, It is creditable to the man, and We therefore see no reason why we should not give his name. A good many years-ago, the late Sam’! Reeves had a partner in the mannfacture of brick. One Sunday evening, dark clouds rofled up from the west betoken- ing aheavy rain. His partner came to him with a woe-begore face and said— “There’s going to be a storm ; had we not better call the hands and stack the brick lying in the yard 1”—there were five thon- sand of them. Mr. R. glanced at the clouds and said, “ Yes, a big storm is com- ing! Just do as you please about it.” His partner went to work with all the help he could get and saved the brick, Buta Sunday or two afterwards their yard was spread. with ten thousand brick, and an- other storm arose, this time sweeping up like a tornado, and every brick wasruined, “After that,” said the old man, “I never attempted, an Sunday, to save brick from a storm ; for I believe Old Master meant to teach me that I could not escape him in that way. I paid for the lesson and intend to profit by it,” Joseph T. Inman,” known to he never had a room. In the midst of all these Dr. MeAllister, who had the “Rey, J.

They set forth that there is unity in the ranks, sand that the, leaders are couducting a brilliantand enthusiasiic canvass. It is noticeable awong Republicans, too, that there isnow noexultant brag aud those who three weeks ago had Foster elected by all the way from forty to one hundred thousand majority, are preparing to sing small, and have so reduced the estimate of “Calico Charley’s” majority that the aggregate is now on Ewing’s side. For some time the feeling did prevail here that there was a rupture between Ewing’s and Thurman’s friends. It was created by the false statements which appeared in Re- publican newspapers. Sabseqnent infor- mation direct from headquarters, however exploded this fallacy, and it is the awak- euing to the reality thatit wasonly a fal- lacy which has disconcerted the Republi- caps here and given thema scare from which their party cannot recover before the day of election. ——-__~-—p- Ex-JupGr TourGer.—As we have com- mented on reported conversations had with Judge Tourgee and newspaper cor respondents, we copy the following para- graph from the Raleigh) News of the 1&th Septem ber: “Judge Tourgee, ina private letter to sponsibility for all that was ascribed to him in either the New York Dribune or the Philadelphia Times interviews. states that be accorded no interview to any represei tative of cither of those pa- pers; tuat while the style assimilates with his, and that he has made remarks simi- | lar to those attributed to him, still they have been wonderfully cularged upon. It would seem, then, that a report. of au interview is not in anywise to be relicd on in all cases. This feature of journal- ism is fast becoming a nuisance. It is manifestly unjust to ascribe to any person, be he friend or foe, sentiments that he has uever given utterance.

In short, these dainty fellows have the-eunning of the- fox, the voraciousness of the, wolf, the habitaude o. the ass, the gratitude of the hog, and the impuceice of the devil. _Another very significant moral sign of 2 Yellow-back is his extreme attachment to, and fondness for, the Homestead Law. Many good citizens, it is true, were com- pelled, by the exigencies growing immedi- ately out of our late war, to desire a tem- porary operation of some such law, as applicable to pre-existitg debts; but it is believed that facts willsustain the assertion that no sound man now: desires its contin- vance in its present'shape, at least: and that any man who doés)is a Yellow back and Communist, and wnworthy of the confi- dence of all good citizens’ ‘Gentlemen of dignity and a high sense of honor and hon- esty, ask no Homestead’ at the hands of their creditors; no Homestead from any source, beyond that which, by the grace of God, and through a proper and legitimate exercise of their muscles, sinews,— nerves, and brain, will be sure to inure to. them, and on which, relying on the sweat of their brows, and their honesty of purpose, they teel that they can stand secure, and undis- mayed, through all the storms that beset the voyage of life. Yellow-backs are never ashamed of any | thing. It matters not Jhow villainously i they may have acted, of how kindly they | may have been treated at the hands ot j those whom they have injured, their dark ) souls preserve their wonted hogvish apathy, without exhibiting the slightest evidences | of remorse on their part; and shame having (entirely forsaken them, as it scems, for all | time to come, virtue, if they ever had any, }hing likewise fled, and their case, so far as [redemption is concerned, is utterly hope- less, | Now what must we do?

It is asserted that there is but one industry that has ever prospered sufficiently to secure the emigrants the necessaries of life, aud that is the manufacture of cachuca, a kind of rum distilled from fermented cane juice. With afew exceptions their food and clothing is of the coarsest kind. Many live for months with no other food than dricd fislvand mandioca meal, and per- haps some fruit and vegetales, and ocea- sionally a little game or salt beef dried in the sun. The poorest laborer in the Uni- ted States can bay with his earnings more luxuries ina month for his family than one sees ina year in any home, save two or three, iv the coloay. Even white bread and butter are too expensive for most familics. The number who actaally set- tled at Santaren is 210; have left or died ince, 154; there are in the colony now Le of whom are children born there, 14; of the 210 original settlers there remain Be. Ee The telegraph reported a U.S. Reve- nue officer as being shot at Spartanburg, s.C., on Fuesday last, and it turns ont that the officer, Thos. J. Davis, a Special Deputy Marshal, shot himself, having got dravk and was behaving ina very dis- graceful and boisterous manner on the streets of Spartanburg, when his own pis- tol was discharged, inflicting a wound in the thigh. Davis had previously arrested aman trom Polk couuty, N. G., named J. B. Panther, on an old charge, had ad- mitted him to bail, and then got drunk and re-arrested Panther and was flourish- ing a pistol over him when the accident occurred. We respectfully call Judge Dick’s at- tention to the affair as no doubt trathfal- ly reported in the Spartanbarg Herald of the 24th inst., a copy of which we send him by mail. After Judge Dick is cor- rectly iuformed on any “outrage subject” we are sure he will make a correct repre- sentation aud do justice to all concerned. —Clhartotte Democrat. os AN UNsEXED WoMAN AND HER END.— Educated, pretty and fashionably dress- cd women were not common in’ Nevada City, Cal., in 1354. Wherefore the arri- val of Madam Dumont: in that mining town caused cousiderable excitement, for she was attractive in- three mentioned particulars. Besides she was not more than twenty years old. She at once hir- ed a corver in a saloon dnd opened a_ fa- ro gane. The novelty -of a woman deal- ing the cards drew many gamblers to her table, and her success wasso great thatsbeé soon opened a large establishivent, where a dozen games were kept going bight and day. She gaived the reputatiou of deat- ing houestly, was always smiling polite, aud the miners liked her —even held her in considerable respect; But her luck clianged good to bad, and she lost all her mouey. She spent a few years in other business in San Francisco, but could net recover into prosperity. A few weeks ago sbe borrowed $500 from an old frievd and started for the mining region of Ne- vada, contemplating a pew career as a gambler. She opened & faro game at Brodie, but it lasted buat a> few hours, when the bank was broken. She paid her lesses in the old smiling manner, re- tired to an aute room, swallowed poison and died. — <> No one can develop the grace of meek- pegs by listening to a crying bady.

As the Wilmington Star once saic, it is astonishing how a cen- sus will destroy some people's calenla- tons. Wilmington Star: A gentleman just from Boston brings a specimen of the pa- per hapkins in general use there. ‘They are curiosities in their way, are very eub- stantial considering the material, are-weat in appearance, and said to be cheaper than any othersort, although only inteuded to be used at one meal. A CouNTER Exopus.—A Washington dispatch says: “Southern farm Jaborers can make wore in a year in cash or its off than the same class in any other part of the conutry. By way of news, a coun- ter exodus has been started. Atrange- ments are about completed by the Miss- issippi and Louisianna planters for impor- ting colored labor from) Missoari and the border States. Several railroad compan- ies are about to issue tickets over their roads at excursion rates for this pur- pose.” . The Wilkesbro Index well says: The New York World claims to have 4,705 snbseribers to its weekly edition from North Carolina. It is a mournful show- ing for the sense of people that such a paper as the World should bag a_ greater uumber of North Carolina readers than perhaps any oue one of our State papers. To say that the World is as weak as pond water is putting it mildly. It is worse than weak. It is weakly wicked. The Iredell Gazette says, concerning the injunction to restrain the commissioners of Davie from issuing the 835,000 bonds to aid in building the Salem eud Moores- ville road: For the present, the $35,000 claimed from Davie county is pot avail- able, and may never be. We would re- gret the loss of it; but there are other re- sources Which would fully supply this de- ticience, and if the friends will hold fast With firmness and patience, and if every one will do his daty, we expect to accom- plish the saine end. Let every man at- tend-to the duty of the hour, and what- ever may be the issue of this case, we will be prepared for it. Some Sranriy Propucts.—Dr. Nev Fetzer, a wineralogist of decided experi- epee, madea trip to Stauly court this week and brought back with him some remarkable specimensof Talcose slate and red sand stone, which he picked up along the road.

A Lone SLeep.—Robert Musterman, a farm laborer of Long Island. N. Y., went to bed on Wednesday night of last week, and has been sleéping'ever since. Physicians Lave applied restoratives, but have failed to awake him. Beef tea and other nourishing diets have been forced into his threat to keep him alive.

E : 5 districts, are not per- mitted Taieded spo inhabitants ac- cording to the.cengus of 1870, and it is the'desire that, éxcept in cities and lar towns, the number shall fall far lidlow this. The month of Junc, on- ly, next year, will be allowed for the enumeration of districts, in cities of ever 10,000 inhabitants the enumer- ation must be taken within two weeks from the first Monday in June. A cestain sum will be allowed for the erlumeration of each jnhabitant, each death reported, cach farm, shop, &e., and the amount paid must not exceed $4. per day of hours east of the 100th meridian, and $4 per equivalent day west.ofjthat meridian. Thus, thirty days beingethe maximum during which the work may be done, the pay of ade erator eass of the 100th me fédgadtimnueh exeecd $100. Thus, there will be no necessity, as under previoysdaws, for the onnirer- | it. ator to fit, himself up expensively for traveling, and there is nothing in the law ineonsistent with the idea of the enumerator devoting a part of every | day or night to his ordinary business! triplers, not more’n two months old, and his family.

The first church I came to, a small frame structure with a wooden steeple, had the doors and windows tightly shut, but there was a man sitting on the front steps whittling a stick, and I said to him ; “Are you connected with this church ?” “Yes,” he said, “I’m the sexton.” “What is it closed for?” “Well, mostly on account of Bank’s babies.” “Babies 2” “Sit down and [ll tell you You know Banks, he come to about this town to livea few weeks ago pew in this church.

So Deacon Smith he stepped up and aaid somethin’ or other to Banks, and Banks, quicker’n a wink, laid down the baby and banged the Deacon with his fist. And, so, I dunno how it was, but in a minute there was Banks and Deacon Smith, and Deacon Hub- bard, and Banks’ sister’s baby and me, alla roilin’ and a) bumpin’ and whoopin’ in a manner that was redic- ulous to behold.

It is pleasant to think well of prominent men—to believe that they arehonest and iucorruptible patri- ota. Sygch a public esteem is more to be desired than silver aud gold, and the glit- ter of official robes. It is a richer heri- tage to hand down to one’s children than a list of official places filled without vir- taous diatinctioa. But few of the Presi- dents of the United States have left re- cords which mark them as men of rare merit. They were, many of them, ran into that high offices not because of any particalar personal merit, but because they were deemed most available, made so by a sort of negative or do-nothing life. Men against whom least coald be said,—who had killed an indian in a fight, or performed some action of no great consequence, but winning popular applause, and by the use of which the commen miad could be worked up to en- thusiasm. It is no sign of one’s superior ability or genius that he is elected to an office by the machinery of party. Party ia blind to everything exce; t to win, and the cheice uf its tools only sometimes, not always, depends on their real merits and virtues, It isa notable fact that parties orga- nized on sound and correct principles, seklom, if ever, have its harmony distur- bed by its most worthy and meritorious members. Hovest in their convictions and true to the great objects of the organ- ization, vo pergoual sacrifices are too great for them to make to secure the success of their cherished principles. They are not office seckers and mere followers for the loaves and fishes, but scorn an aim so low and degrading as beneath the dignity of true men. There are no clamorers coming from their ranks, and no high sounding words of services unrewarded. If all the members were of this character parties would be peaceful. But how- ever pleasant it is tothink well of our leading men and flatter ourselves of their honesty, we know they are not all so. There are in every party men whose eyes are constantly turned on the dazzling prizes, and who follow for them alene— needy, greedy, covetous, unprincipled men, who for the sake of office and the emolaments, would sell oat party, prin- ciples, country, and all. Can our friend of the Recorder assureus that there are no | such seamps in the Democratic party. If, 80, we shall feel much better. — eo ee YADKIN NAVIGATION. There seems to be a slight hitch in the progress of the Yadkin Navigation scheme, growing ont of the fact that government agents do not feel authorized to incur any responsibility for necessary destruction of | dams in the river, put there by private parties, | ble to make the movement successful. there lies the rub. Whai the enemies of civil liberty would do if they could, and what they will attempt to do, are very dif- ferent things. +t If Grant’s reception at San Francisco is. ‘asatest of his popularity at the Neh. there then is no doubt that he will he nominated for the if he wishes, The temper of the reception even be- yond that; and the: impevial own may be afered instead of something meaner, Grant is morethan bamanif hieheadis not turned; and his flatrers ane wevenyper ere selves ready to make the most servile 0 bjects.— Durham Recorder. ass this comes from one of the coolest and most deliberate editors in this State. We believe it has been openly declared by prominent northern journals that Grant will be thenext!President whether he is elected or not. There is no doubt a small party in this country who are ready and anxious to over throw the present form of Government and establish a monarch upon its ruins. The moncy kings, the railroad kings, and all the heavy monopliea, backed up by their mil- lions; and the large holders of Government bonds—all, in fact, whose prosperity de- pends on grinding down the people and making them ecrvile dependents on the strong arm of power, would most likely unite in the effort if they believed it possi- But eR me TIME ON THE AIR LINE. The Atlanta Dispatch, of yesterday, has this item : . “On Monday the south bound train on the Air Line road was delayed for a con- siderable length of time from sume cause and was compelled to make up the lost time between Moant Airy and Longview. Fred. Krogg let his engine out and came down at the rate of sixty miles an hour. “The day before, the train with engine No. 3, John McLeod, engineer, in going|T up lost fifty minutes. In order to catch up it ran at the rate of sixty-seven miles au hour. This is fast traveling and shows the excellent condition of the Air Line road and trains.” They are skippers on the Air Line fora fact. Every man knows his engine and knows what she can do, and they have the nerve to “let ber out for all she is worth” whenever it becomes necessary .— Charlotte Observer. Ah! But suppose a train running sixty miles an hour should run against some- thing hard—harder than atmospheric air? Exactly so. An engineer was once un- der examination befure a board of Direct- ors, who wanted alow time on their road, and asked him what would be the conse- quences of a collision of trains running 25 miles an hour? He answered, almost ev- erything would be broken to pieces. Sup- pose they were going at the rate of only sixteen miles an hour, was the next ques- tion. And the engineer answered as be- fore—all would be broken to pieces. If this be correct, and we suppose it is, a collision at 60 or 67 miles an hour would! h be no more damaging than a slower speed. So far as passengers are concered it would save a fellow the trouble of knowing what és bart him. ea aS AGAINST EXTRAVAGANT FUNERALS. We are pleased to see that there is one These parties, it is advised, minister at least in the United States who should make a formal relinquishment of | Opposes, in a practical way, extravagant claims for damage befure the work on the | funerals. The following is the case al- river is commenced, and thus obviate | luded to: vexations and costly suits in law. Accepting this as snfficient canse for ‘lelay, and admitting the importance of | having all such difficulties removed, the question is, who is competent to act in the premises and take the relinquishment of the private owners of the dams? No private gentleman without some official | sanction, cag do it, and the only party having the semblance of a claim to the right, the officers of the old Yadkin Nay- igation Company, now to all appearances dead, seem indispose to do anything to advance the enterprise except on an in- demnity to their company. Under these circumstances the work is delayed ; and to all appearances may be entirely defeat- ed, notwithstanding Congress made an appropriation of $20,000 for it. We advert to the subject for the pur- pose of bringing it to the attention of le- gal and other intelligent geatlemon inter- ested in the development of this part of the State, believing that some one may be able to suggest a plan for removing the difficulty now hindering the work proposed. ee Tue Errect or Lres.—A mulatto wo- man from Beston arrived at Goldsboro, says the Messenger of the 6th, on her way to Smithfield, Jehason county, and stop- ped at a hotel in Goldsborv, kept by a negro man. While there she imagined that abe was aprroundedby the Kuklux, of whom she had read so much in the Buston papers, and that they would murder her and her child (a girl of 14), and that the best thing she could do fur herself and daughter, was to die by their own hands, and accordingly she cut the throat of her daughter and then her own throat. They were discovered in time to save them. ‘The girl’s wound was not serious and the mother’s nptfatal. A negro relation calm- ed the fears of the poor deluded mother, aud took her to Smithfield where it is thought both will soon recover. cc A PRETTY Rovon.— A sick Catholic priest, Pierce MeCarthy, was riding out in a baggy for recreation, ia Newark, New Jersey, 28th Sept., when his borse ran away, tearing through the streets, atrik- ing against wagons, and finally throwing the priest ipto the street. The police thought he wasdruok, and that the danger- our accident was entirely due to that cause. They pounceg on the sick man— would not ligten to his explanation—hand cuffed him, clabbed him with their sticks, and tumbled him into the lock-up. Af- terwards they found out~their nistake, and bad a serious “fuss” on their hands. The Catholics were aroused with indig- nation, and the case required careful man- agement to peatore quiet. Let police- wen improve the lesson. / | ‘There is considerable excitement among the Roman Catholic residents of Jersey City on aecount of Rev. Father Hennessy, of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, closing the doors to a funeral party becanse they vi- olated the order of the Bishop prohibiting the use of more than twelve carriages. The body of Bridget O'Roarcke was brought to the Cathedral with a follow- ing of forty carriages. Father Hennessy peremptorily refused to admit it, saying he meant to obey the Bishop's orders whether other priests did or not. A com- promise was effected by sending away thirty carriages, but after the ceremonies in the church the carriages rejoined the procession. Father Hennessy, from the pulpit, referring to the matter said : ‘These pretentious funerals are for show only. In most cases the long line of carriages are not paid for, -and even where they are paid for the expense often takes bread and butter out of hungry mouths.’” Now open a war on the extortionate prices of coffins and hearses. It is de- mauded by every consideration of right, justice and good morals. rc i oA Score one for Tammany. That faction or party has beaten Mr. Tilden befure the Supreme Court of New York, in the mat- ter of appointing Inspectors to represent the Kelly party. From a special in the Philadelphia Press the decision appears to have been unanimous. The special Bays: “After the argument the Court took a long recess, and on reassembling announc- ed that they had come to a unavimous conclusion as to the eonstruction of the law and the duty of the Police Board in executing it in the appointment of Inspec- tors of election. The court thinks that after Inspectors of election representing the po- litical minority (the Repablicans) in the city ou State issues were appointed, it was the duty of the Bourd to have select- ed the remaining inspectors from the Demuoeratic party in its entirety and not from any factions thereof 3, that as they have already selected a third inspector in each District in the wing of the party known as the Irving Hall Democracy, it is now their duty te choose the remaining Inspeetors in the organization know Tammany Hall.” nownas a I Mr. Nathan D. Brogden, near Goldsdor o. lost his life in a cotton gin, on Thursday of last week. He was attempting to ease the gin, which was clogged, by pickifig out the lint with his knife, when his shirt sleeve was caught by the saws and his hand and arm drawn into the gin and litterally aawed off. A negro man banda- ged his wounds as quickly as pogsible to stop the flow of blood, until physicians could be brought ; but the nervous shock and loss of blood was two great. The doctors could do nothing to rally him and he died.—Let this serve as a warning to others. <> o—_..... The Ohie election takes place on the Mth inst.

When this affection was first recog- npon the irritation produeed by the pol- len of certain frowers and grasses which feated in the air in the months of May, Sane, July, and Angust of each year. Subsequently it was claimed that two different forms of the disease existed, and to one was given the name of “June cold,” while the other received the name “autumnal eatarrh.” } Purther observation revealed the fact that an affection characterized by symp- tom’ essentially the same as those seen in connection with hay asthma, hay fever, June cold, rose, cold, autumnal catarrh, etc., occurred {in seasons of the year in none .of the snpposed exciting sagses of the hay fever could operate, and for some time the reasoning was that produeed by the pajlen of plants, It was also observed'that certain persons were peculiarly affected when brought in con- tact with certain avimals, such a3 the eat, and by the vapor from certain animal substanees, snch as warin milk. These observations, and others of like charac- ter, have from time to time led to modifi- entions of former opinions regarding the nature of hay fever, and, at last, have viven risé toa theory which has been promulgated as one capable of explaiu- ing all the phenomena of the disease whenever nnd wherever ocenrring. In this country two books have been written on hay fever: one—the oldest, and for a long time the only systematic upon the subject—by Dr. Jeffries Wyman, of Boston ; the other by Dr. Geo. M. Beard, of New York. In Dr. Beard’s book we find the first open an- nouncement of the theory to which we have already referred, namely, the “nerve theory.” This theory is the result of the study of one hundred cases, and it is that hay fever is a neurosis. According W this theory, the disease is sabjective instead ‘of objective ; external irritants, which are exceedingly numerous, such a8 rag weed pollen, etc., are of a secondary and a tertiary character and powerless in themselves to produce the disease, and produce the disease only when acting on our. beryaus idiesyneraay, This nuthor has deseribed a new form of the disease, which he calls the July cold, or wifddle form, which links the early form, or June cold, with the later form or autumnal catarrh. It seems te us that the nerve theory explains many of the cases which have heretofore been regarded as very obscure; for example, those in which the smptotfis peculiar to hay fever lave continued from May to NoventUet, Or daring the winter months, or all the year round.

AIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left stde; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of, the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach js affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen: eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the ‘head ‘is troubled ‘with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back paft.. There is generally a considerable ‘loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having I¢ft, undone some- thing which ought to hawebeen done, A slight, dry cough is;sbmetimes an attendant. ‘The. patient complains of weariness and debility; 'he is easily startled, his feet are cokbor burning, and he complains of .a prickly. sensas tion of the skin; his spirits, are. low; and although he is satished that exer:. cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can s¢earcely summon up fortitude enough to'try it. In fact, he distrusts ‘| every remedy. Several of ‘the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them .ex- isted, yet examination of he. body,-. after death, has shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged.

GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, with What wassupposed to be Acute Kheumatism, and was treated fur the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The cage was then pro- nounced one of White Swelling. After having been contined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stijlingia, and wus so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to. her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluabie medicine.

But when freed from water by under- draiting, or by a thorough system of ridgés “and deep dead-furrows, and thosenghly broken up by tillage and expbsare to frosts and ameliorated by mixing with it turned umder sods, or gregh crops or manure, there is uo better permanently good farming land thaf'the original strong clay soils.

I write this at evening, after spending a day in examiging some clay farms on the “Western Reserve,” aud studying the experience of those who have been on them 30 or 40 years. Some of the most thrifty farmers tell me that they neither need nor use any other fertilizers than an occasional plowed-in sward. They save and ap- ply all the barn yard manures produ- ced, and when they can buy at the village stables manure at 50 cents per wagon load they get it, and apply it upon the surface of meadows, or upon potato or corn ground, which has not recently had a sod turned under. When produce is high, or they have special need of manure for particular fields or crops, they can afford to pay as High’ as $1 per wagon load if they do pot. have to haul it oyer three or foufmites.

After a victorious expedition into Pontus, the Roman General La- callus bronght the cherry from Cera- sus, atown ofthat province, into Italy. Soldier though he was, this Lucullus always had an eye open to whatever was agreeable in the way of food ; and it is not to be doubted that he re- garded the cherry as one of the proud- est of all his trophies. The cherry was then brought to Rome about seventy years before Christ. About one hundred and twen- ty years later it was introduced into Great Britain, From Italy it was brought also into all the other coun- tries of Europe—inevery one of which jt is now a universal favorite with all classes of the people. The Roman horticulturists soon in- vented other species of the cherry, and Pliny makes mention of eight different varieties which were extant in his day. It shows what great things can be wrought by cultivation and different varieties are now specifically described in the official catalogues. The gum of the cherry is almost identical with gum arabic. It has fre- quently been utilized for food, and the degree of nutriment found in it is something surprising. The wood of the cherry is very beautiful and is much used for furniture. Some per- sons of good taste admire it as much as mahogony. It is hard, compact and tough, and it possesses the rare virtue of not warying. It takes on a very high polish. Its beautiful red- dish tint, instead of fading with time. grows deeper and richer every year. The cherry tree is so large and beautiful in our own country that it is strange that it is not planted and grown more frequently as an orna. mental shade tree. In Germany the cherry tree is a great favorite for these purposes. Many roadsides in Germany are lined with cherry trees on both sides. You will frequently pass through an avenue of these beau- tiful shade trees fur miles at a time. The seeds of the cherry were brought to America at an early day by colo- nists, both from England and Hol- land. Besides these cultivated cher- ries, there is a wild cherry which is indigenous to this country. The largest and grandest cherry trees I have ever read of are found in West Virginia, While they grow in Germany to be four feet in diameter and sixty and seventy feet high, they are found in West Virginia as large as five, six and even seven feet through and sometimes one hundred feet high. The wild cherry is more commonly called choke-berry. It grows not on- ly in the Eastern and Middle States, but in the fur West—in Utah, Arizo- na and other Rocky Mountain States; also in Oregon. The wild cherry is a great favorite with the Indians. They make @ tea ofthe bark, which they greatly relish. They also pound the bark flne, dry it in the sun and boil it in meat broths. They mix it also with meal, which they make-from various roots or seeds. Great as are the natural adaptions of our country to the growth of the cherry, this fruit in America has by no means attained all the excellence of which it is capable, and it is to be hoped that those public journals which are favorable to horticulture will exert themselves to stiulate their fruit growing readers to aim at still higher perfection in the cherry.

The combined wisdom of the legis- latare having repealed the “dog law,” aud not having given us the “better one,” the above text is pecaliarly ap- essee, The merits of the law recently repealed will not be discussed, but as to themselves, the following is sug. gested, and when: enforced will ‘be found to.werk well and effectively. », Be it résoltad by the sheep owners of Tennessee; that each and every one | present. help in trouble.” plicable to the sheep-raisers of Tenn-| - the sheep owners have-to bea law un-| shot, which will be found 9 “very Be it Fesul¥ed, That each andevery dog found upon the lands of such per- sons, unaccompanied by its master, be treated to the contents of said gan. Be it further resolved, That in ad- dition to said gun, said farmers keep also on hand a bottle of strychnine, to be sprinkled on any sheep that may be killed on the place. To provide for the weak and timid dogs that may congregate, it is best to cut the car- cass into pieces of suitable size, and having put in each piece some of the contents of the bottle, scatter them around eight or ten feet so that all that may come can be accommoda- ted. Let all adopt this law and practice it, and it will protect the sheep and materially lessen the pets of the legis- lature. To keep down disputes and _fusses, never talk about killing or having killed dogs, and all will be well. It is not the killing, but the talk that causes trouble. “Let not your right hand know what your left doeth.” — Rural Sun. ————$—- a Always keep your farm tools under cover when not using them. ome Agriculture is an art which can live without all others, but no others without it. —_—_--—___—_ The horse is now to be met with in every habitable country, except Lapland and Greenland, amid the re- gion of eternal snows. a A cow giving milk requires about 80 pounds of bone material in a year. Thus a herd of 25 cows will carry off from pastures and barns a ton of bone material each year. i The following was evidently utter- ed by a true furmer: “The country home can be made very pleasant by fixing up the yards and houses more than they now are. Furmers should be without debts, and then they can make farm life very pleasant. The farmer should read and study several! hours every day. He should have good laborers, and have them under- stand that his interest is theirs. Plen- ty of reading matter should be kept o.1 hand at all times. Instead of straight lines about the place devote more space to landscape gardening. The keepiag of good stock will always add tothe pleasure of farming. Farm- ers should get out and interchange views with each other. ioe GENUINE DR. C. McLANE’S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.

GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- pear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pleces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. ‘The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelling. After having been 20nfined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.

Vou sbm New England Affairs. yrom The New York Observer. One of our correspondents was tak- oto task lust year for sending us an yecount of some of the “side-shows” od “goings oneat one of the State fairs in New England. This year we copy some notices from the New England Farmer. Vermont.— The correspondent, in his secount of the Vermont State Agri- ealtural Socicty’s Fair, at Montpelier, writes “The present exhibition, whether on secount of its proximity to the Capi- wl, or from other causes, has lett im- pressions upon our mind somewhat jess pleasing than in previous years, A lager beer shanty, and a beer gar- den with flaming signs to draw the at- yeotion, cider carts in) abundance, gaming and lottery schemea in num- berless variety and form, with a doz- en, more or less, of noisy auctioneers, and venders of peanuts and small wares keeping up a deafening jargon of cvarse, silly nonsense, gave a com- pexion to the exhibition, only ofa rn} lighter shade, such as New England exhibitions and many others held in the more popular sections of the coun- try, especially near large cities, have been cursed with in years past, toa We allude to such blemishes only from the convic- greuter or less extent. tion that the newspaper press has a daty to perform in such matters.” New Hampshire.—The editor of the same paper writes in regard to the Fair of the New Hampshire State Agricultural Society : “Country people are wont to be- leve that the city is the place to find iniquity and corruption, but neither inthe streets of Boston or New York has it been our lot to witness features more revolting to the good sense of the better classes in society than were ex- hibited at this Agricultural fair, and we know not upon whom the respon- ubility rests, except upon the mana- gers themselves, whoever they may be, Weare glad to meet our friends and co-laborers at these gatherings when they are of such a character that Wecan take our friends and children tlong, but if our agricultural fair Stounds are to vie with the most de- graded sections of our large cities in Meeand corruption, then we say the ‘oner their days are numbered the better it will be for our people.” Ehode Island,—The same paper Writes in regard to the Jate Rhode Island State Fair ; “Why all the pretty fukirs, tramps, Mountebanks and owling dervishes sa country are allowed, not only uhgregate at and in our agricul- a exhibitions, but to make we the most conspicuous fea- e, barricading the very fore- Band with all the super-annuated Praphernalia of defunet circus side- sero monopolizing the ears of haae with their @liscordant croak- eh an inscrutable mystery.

As the Journal says: “The Northern Senator in his speech, was nothing if not sectional and the representative of | a party. The Southern Senator repu- diated sectionalism with great velie- meuce and eloquence, and said not one word to identify himself with any. po- litieal organization.’ “Mr. Conkling,” says the Journal, “sank far beneath the level to which a man of his pre- tentions should have risen in discus- sing campaign issues. The Georgia Senator, on the other hand, took and easily kept the high table-land of pa- triotic thought which so many Aner- ican statesweu — Senator Conkling. cheif among themn—long ago desert- ed.” Our New York contemporary adds : “Senator Gordon calls the Federal constitution ‘the omnipotent arbiter trom which there is no appeal.’ He prays for a broad patriotism, ‘broad as the republic itself’ He says: ‘God speed the day when the maxim, This | is my country, all my country-—every section, every State, every acre of soil over which the flag of the republic Hoats—sball be embraced in every It is said that the part of his address containing these American freeman,’ passionate words words of devotion to the Union ‘elicited the most vociter- ours and prolonged applause.’ How is this? Senator Conkling in a speech, totally devoid of patriotic enthusiasm, told his effect that the Union was hated at the South, that State rights was as rampant there as ever in the days before secession, hearers in that the ex-rebels having failed to de- stroy the republic by war are now seeking to capture and control it with a view of upsetting all that the war had settled, as we had fondly suppos- ed. He declares that the national fi- nances, prosperity, economy, safety, right and justice are all imperiled by these bold, unscrupulous Southern- And, for answer to all this sound and fury, the men of Georgia, 15,000 or 20,000 strong, stood out in the burning sun on Thursday and frantic- ally applauded every allusion of their destinguished Senator to the flag and the perpetuity of the Union.” ers, a Running A Locomotive WITH- out Firt, WATER, OR STEAM.—AN AMUSING INCIDENT IN THE CAREER oF Mr. A. L. Hotty.—While work- ing as an engineer on one of the rail- ways he made a wager with some of his fellows that he could run a loco- motive a mile without fire, water, or steam, the locomotive to be taken emp- ty and cold from the shop, and towed by another engine to a point at some distance on the road, where a level stretch of track favored the experi- ment. Young Holley rode in solita- ry state on his cold locomotive to the scene of trial, and, unsuspected by his escorts, so arrauged matters that du- ring the trip the motion of the drivers and pistons stored the boilers with compressed air, This gave him, by the time the destined point was reach- ed, an accumulation of power by means of which he ran his mile and won his wager. ee YELLow FEvER IN ANIMALS,— Two dogs, two cats, one monkey, two rabbits, three guineapigs, two geese and three chickens were penned up two days in the infested ship John Welsh. The animals all escaped the infection except one dog. This animal the next day had a sharp attack of fe- ver, the temperature ran away up to 107 and there was active delirium, followed by coma. The dog recover- ed, and now the doctors are in doubt whether this attack was really yellow fever. Ifthe dog had died perhaps there would have been no doubt.— Memphis Letter.

A short time since Professor Wm. P. Tonry reported to the Health Com- missioner of Baltimore the result ob- tained by the analysis of seventy-one specimens of pump and spring water | collected within the city limits, Of these samples 35 were from that part | of the city lying to the east of the | stream known as Jones’ Falls, and 36 | were from the west side, Of the for- mer, 10 samples were filthy, 5 bad, 15. suspicious, and 5 good. Of the latter 23 were filthy, 5 bad, 7 suspicious, and but one that could be regareded as good, __ The 23 worst samples from West East Bultimore, show such very large amounts of ammonia as to point un- mistakably to direct and close contact : with privy refuse, and it is more than probable that these wells or springs have been drawing part at least of their supply of water from some of the privy wells which have been sunk to water. Of these 33 filty samples 11 from West Baltimore and 4 from East Baltimore contained more free ammonia than a mixture of distilled water and urine, one-tenth of which was urine. Sume iudividual speci- mens contained twice and three titnes this amount—enough, indeed, to in- dicate the presence of one-fourth urine in the samples. As to the bad and suspicious samples the source of con- tamination will be found in excre- mentary matter which has had to pass through the earth fur a greater or less distance befure oozing into the well. The conclusions arrived at by Pro- fessor Tuory, by the study of these samples, are well worthy of ccnsider- ation by the inhabitants of all towns drawing their water from numerous small and relative shallow wells. Pro- fessor Tonry says that there is hardly any other conclusion to be arrived at than that privy wells cannot be sunk to water in the neighborhood of pumps without affording to the patrons of the pumps a liberal dilute solution of pri- vy refuse for drinking water, por can the surface of the ground in the neigh- borhood of the pumps be honeycomb- ed by uncemented privy vaults with- out supplying the patrons of the ad- joining pumps with a less liberal and partially filtered solution from the surrounding sinks. Around New York there are doubt- less many communities, small and large, whose ill repute for “malaria” is due in large part, if not entirely, to the circumstance that their water sup- ply is largely drawn from contamina- ted wells and cisterns. a TRUTHS. ——— Man—A_ bubble on life’s rolling wave.

An article in the Asheville Journal of the 8th, in regard to the late compromise of the Florida suits, might deceive one who was not properly informed. The Observer did not prevert the truth when it stated that the $25,000 recovered by Maj. Wilson was the first of that fund ever to enter into the treas- ury of thecompany. Mr.Patton, their worthy treasurer, will bear me out in this. Major Rollins says he was offered $50.000 to com- promise the suit, and Maj. Wilson received only $25,000; if this Le true, will Maj. Rollins inform the public that this offer was made before the United States Court had decided his suit against him? Judge Bradley’s opin- ions have no doubt before this weakened the expectations of: many a man. Major Rollins says, besides, that he has received $297,000 from Florida. This is certainly gratifying news, and it would be equally gratifying to know what disposition he has made of it. Iam informed that the late Gen. Martin, Mr. W. D. Rankin and Col. Thad. Coleman were selected as arbitrators to ascertain the honest indebtedness of the Western Divison. Their report showed the debt to be about $18,000. Since then the President has received $297.000, and the debt, instead of. being paid off, has actually increased to about $60,000. I have seen an ; agreement between Maj. Rollins and one J. B. Stewart,a New York lawyer of very doubtful reputation, in which the power is conferred upon this Stewart to divide out | any money that might be obtained from Florida, at his own discretion. Under this agreement some funds were obtained and actually paid to L. P. Bayne and some others | —this Bayne being notorious in this State | in connection with frauds on this road and ' for his attempt to steal the Fayetteville road. Was not Maj. Rollins or his treasurer or some members of his board of directors competent to settle this and pay contractors without leaving it to this stranger? Some members of this board are known to the writer, and I cannot believe that they were properly informed. Willingly I would in- jure no one, and do not now charge wrong upon Maj. Rollins; but as a tax-payer I do call upon him to make an exhibit. It is due to himself; it is due to worthy men with whom he is associated, and it is due to the State of North Carolina. Tam a friend to the Western road, and have always been so, but protest against one dollar of this $25,000 leaving its present status until Maj. Rollins makes a satisfac- tory settlement, and then not until every claimant gives a quit-claim to the State of North Carolina for all interest in the late Western Division. Tax-PaYER. wea 0 po MourpDER TRIAL IN Monro—E—How THE ACCUSED WA8 CAPTURED.—In the Superior Court of Union county, now in session in Monroe, Judge Buxton presiding, will be commenced Monday, the trial of Robert Parker, for the murder of Leander Stack, about six months ago. A report of the kill- ing was made in this paper at the time of its occurrence .The two men, who had been friends, were riding along together from Monroe, and became engaged in a quarrel. One of the men cut the otherin the face with a riding switch and they fought, Par- ker drawing a pistol and shooting his an- tayonist dead on the spot. Parker will be detended by Messrs. Bennett, Covington, Vann and Payne, with Solicitor Montgom- ery conducting the prosecution, A somewhat unusual circumstance occur- red in connection with the capture of Par- ker. A reward of $100 was offered by the Governor for his arrest and delivery to the county jailer. Hearing of this Parker sur- rendered himself to a friend with the under- standing that the $100 which the friend would get would be devoted to defraying the cost of his defence. The solicitor be- coming : 0 ,nizant of these facts stated them to Gov. Jarvis, and we understand that he has refused to pay the reward. ———__—~ > — Tue Cnoura PLayED Ovut.—Spanish chufa isa failure. At least it is so pronounced by many who have given it what they consider a fair test. Some of the Pender county far- mers who tried it thoroughly for two sea- sons past tell us that they have planted the last of it. They say that it not only does not make good meat but that it draws from the ground where it is planted every parti- cle of life and sustenance. leaving an almost barren waste where was once fruitful fields. It is true the hogs take to it kindly but the fat of the meat raised on it is so soft that the pork, as such, is almost unsaleable and the meat, after being cured, will continue to drip as long as there is any grease left in it. One instance is related of a farmer who fed with it very extensively last year and who has never yet been able to get the lard into anything but a liquid state. He calls it very properly, hog oil. There will be this section next year.— Wilmington Review. ————_ ‘People have a right to strike for higher, wayes, but somehow striking does not al- ways pay. In England the distress was in- creased by thousands of people refusing to work at the prices payed or offered. They seemed to think that no bread was better than a half-loaf. There has been a recent illustration of the folly of strikes, as ordi- narily conducted, at Fall River, Massachu- setts. The weavers struck. They ceased work, gave up their places, and after weeks of distress they proposed to accept the old terms, but it was too late. Other workmen had been employed, and there was no room in the factories for them. It often happens that a step taken without proper reflection and caution leads to trouble. It is better to bear ills we have than to fly to those we know not of, Something like this said Shake- spearc, who knew life and the human heart. Tue Porsonovs Cup Ix ILiLiNors.—Leba- non, Ills., October 13.—Mrs. Alice Dan- braugh has becn arrested, charged with pois- oning her husband and his brother George. They lived together and a year ago George, who was a mniser, died suddenly. Six mon- ths later, the husband also died abruptly.

The Cost of Railway Cars. | Under examination by the State Com- mittee on Railway Affairs, a leading member of one of our largest car building companies, Mr. Gilbert, testified that the average price of box cars is from $400 to $450. In 1872 they were as high as $1,- 200. A milk car costs about $100 more than an ordinary box freight car, that is when the box is changed. A baggage car truck and a passenger car truck are about the same. The price of a baggage car varies from $2,000 to $2,500. Thé cheap- est style of Waner’s drawing room. cars may be made for $8,000 ; the usual price is $12,000. This includes all the farnish- ing. The cheaper drawing room cars four wheels, are made for $1,000. The ordinary mail car costs fronr’ $2,000: to $3,000; distributing cars more. Cars for the New York Elevated Road cost from $2,500 to $3,000. The last ordina- ry passenger cars built cost $4,200; the last built for the Hudson River road cost $5,400, including a heater and some ex- tra fixtures. Small cars for carrying ore cost $200. Mr. Gilbert had never made coal cars or tank cars for oil.—Scientific American. Tae Russian 32-Inch OBJECTIVE.—A contract, it ie said, has been made by Alvan Clark & Sons, of Cambridgeport, Mass., with the Russian Government, relative to the great objective for the Imperial Obser- vatory at Pulkowa, for a great telescope ob- jective. The proposed glass is to be the largest in the world. The contract provides that the definition of the glass shall not be inferior to that of the telescope in the Na- val Observatory in Washington, and that the amount of light shall be greater in pro- portion to the increased area of the objec- tive, allowance being made for the absorp- tion of light by the glass. The objective at Washington is 26 inches in diameter; the proposed glass is to be from 31} to 32 inches in diameter; with a clear aperture of thirty inches. Three years and a half are allowed for its completion—two years to procure the rough disks, and eigh- teen months for grinding, polishing, correct- ing, etc., with an extension of time provid- ed good and sufficient reasons are given for the failure to finish within the specified period. When finished the glass will be mounted in Hamburg. The cost of the glass alone will be $32,000. The material for the glasses will probably be furnished by French manufacturers, the Clarks finding their disks to be most trustworthy. The cost of the objective is to be $32.000, with $1,000 additional for rough mounting. ~~ IMPURE WATER—TOADS AND SQUIRRELS IN WeELLs.—The quantity and variety of filthy matter which is found deposited at the bottom of wells, in some localities, are astonishing. We recently had occasion to examine the debris taken from a well which had been cleaned the year previous, and among the accumulations were decaying toads and squirrels. These creatures had been probably attracted by the water, to reach which they had clamered down the wall till they reached the solid rock into which, for several feet, the well had been excavated, when they were precipitated to the bottom, gnd could not retrace their steps. To obviate a repetition of the same annoyance the stone wall has been removed down to the solid rock, relaid in hydraulic cement, and carried some three feet above the surface of the ground and finished for some distance around the top with cement underlaid with stones, On this solid foun- dation a curb has been so closely fitted as to exclude even crickets and grasshoppers, which are so apt to find their way into wells. To those who detest impure water and would avoid perbaps the sickness of an en- tire family, the above plan, or the adoption of some better precaution against the con- tamination of wells, is recommended. This is the season when springs and wells are us- ually low of water, and therefore it is the best time for cleaning the bottom of the lat- ter and repairing the walls if found defec- tive. > Export PaPpER TRADE.—A cotemporary notes, as an important feature of the paper industry, the steady increase in the exports of American paper, especially of the finer kinds. The total exports last year amount- ed in value to $1,108,318, having grown from the comparatively insignificant amount of $3,777 in 1869. The imports on the other hand, have dwindled down from the maxi- mum of $1,326,460, in 1873, to the total amount of $135,487 for papers of all kinds last year. These latter were largely made up of wall papers of the more expensive designs, only a trifling quantity being fine writing papers. The superiority of the home-made paper is now fully conceded at at home as well as abroad, and large orders have lately been received from new custo- mers in Holland and other countries. Re- cently there were representative buyers here from Japan and China, who have hitherto been accustomed to have their wants sup- plied in the British markets. The qualities for which the fine domestic papers are no- ted are their purity, tenacity, freedom from blemish, and beauty of finish. The machin- ery used is brought to the greatest degree of perfection, and new improvements are constantly being made, The molasses industry in this county is assuming large proportious. We are glad to see our farmers taking hold in this direction. Let the merchavts keep home-made molasses for sule ‘in their atores and encoarage the farmer. part of our country prosperity seetis*/to abound in almost every department of trade, and implements, and the steam appliances for driving and making them, seéms. to be greater than for a long time past. The an- swer of one of our regular advertising pa- trons to our inquiry if his goods were in de- mand nowadays, isno doubt what most other manufacturers who advertise their goods experience. All last year, says the gentleman, parties wouldwrite to know howlowa machinecould be furnished, and then, before ordering, they would write several times to get better terms. Now, says the manufacturer, things are different. Orders flow in faster than they can be filled, and the inquiry is no longer how low the goods can be furnished, “but how quickly. _———_-ao—_— FaMINE axp Drszase.—Reviewing the reports on the Madras famine submitted by Dr. Cornish, Sanitary Commissioner of that Presidency, the Commission has arrived at the following conclusions: First, that the same atmospheric conditions which produce scaricty.of food produce also epidemic dis- ease; secondly, that a large proportion of the mortality of a famine season is due more to epidemic diseases than absolutely to want of food, although the destructiveness of an epidemic is increased by the fact that people half starving or ill fed are leas able to withstand disease; thirdly, that a poiut in the process of chronic starvation, when nutriment no longer sustains life, is often reached. before people can or will seek relief at a distance from their homes. ——————~<—a-____ ° SuccEessFuL YEAR.—The year 1879 will pass into American history as a year of won- derful agricultural prosperity. The cotton crop is larger by half a million bales than ever before, the tobacco crop 12,000,000 pounds greater; and the sugar crop exceeds by some 200,000 hogsheads all previous yields. These are crops which belong al- most exclusively to the southern half of the republic. In behalf of the Northern States the excess of products this year over the crops of any previous year is, according to the Chicago Journal of Commerce, 20,000,- 000 bushels of wheat and from 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels of corn. The hog crop also is larger this year than for a num- ber of years past—if it be not the largest ever raised. —_———_=o_—_ -— It is believed in New York that the Dem- ocrats will make another effort next winter to overhaul the present tariff. A reduction in many articles is very desirable, and an attempt upon customs reforms will be made no doubt. The New York importers are very anxious for a reduction, it 1s said, and will heartily second all efforts in that direc- tion. This ought to be a combination strong enough to bring about decided reforms. The country ought to unite in demanding a tariff for revenue only. The domestic industries of the country ought to be able to take care of themselves, and doubtless will do so. The West and South can surely unite with the Democrats and importers of New York in demanding a repeal of the tariff, and the substitution of one that will raise revenue and not offer protection. MEDICATED Ice.—Dr. Edwyn Andrew, of Shrewsbury, England, has pointed out the advantages in certain surgical and medical cases of employing medicated ice. He thought the cold was rendered more effec- tive by being combined with the active principles of drugs, and by freezing various medical solutions. In that manner ice might be rendered highly anti-septic, caustic, or styptic. In medical cases, especially of the throat, stomach, and hemorrhages from in- ternal organs, ice might be thus pleasantly used to relieve symptoms and at the same time convey medicine as food to the stomach when the latter would resist them in any other way. —___—— THe REUNION AT SALIsBuRY.—The Soldiers’ reunion at Salisbury, October 23rd, promises to be a successful affair. We understand that this section will be well represented. The Western North Carolina railroad will carry passengers at a reduced rate: From Stations West of Statesville the fair is only one dollar for the round trip, and maimed soldiers will be passed free. We publish elsewhere the programme for the occasion. Grand preparations have been and are being made. We hope the veterans will have a good time.—Lenoir Topic. Se Fry Story.—We are informed on the most reliable authority of the following re- markable incident: Last week a little white girl, living with Mrs. Joe Neville, of Walhalla, felt a disagreeable buzzin in her ear when Mrs. Neville undertoo to relieve it by pouring in a few drops of sweet oil. When this was done a common house-fly made its appearance from the oritice of the ear, and it was followed by others until sixty-four came out by actual count. Being covered with oil, the flies were assisted out with a feather, but how came they there is the question. —Anderson (8S. C.) Journal. ER Old Tom Purdie, Sir Walter Scott's favorite attendent, once said, “Them are fine novels of yours, Sir Walter; they are just invaluable to me.” “I am glad to hear it, Tom,” returned the novelist. “Yes, sir,” said Tom ; “for when I have been ont all day hard at work, and come home tired, and take up one of your nov- els, I’m asleep directly.

The inven- tor applies a cord to the common decoy, | and runs it through an eye or pulley attach- | ed to the sand filled bags in the bottom of the stream, thence to the shore, where the sportsman, by dexterously pullimg the cords, causes the decoys to move and dive in the water like living birds. In running water, or where the wind prevails, the decoy may be allowed to move with the current or by the action of the wind, and may be drawn back by the cord. —_——~_--—_———- Woop Purp Maxkine.— According to Leffel's News Newton’s pulp mill, at Holy- yoke, Mass., uses five cords per day of spruce and poplar wood in the making of manila papers. In wood-paper manufacture the split four foot timber is fed into a circular fan-like hopper provided with swiftly re- volving steel knives, which cut the timber inte small chips in very short order, when a fan drives them up into the loft, where they are shoveled into two steel digesters holding from four to six tons each. Soda ash and other chemicals are introduced, a heavy head of steam is turned on, varying in different mills from 100 to 200 lbs. pres- gure to the square inch, and the chips are cooked until the fibers are thoroughly sep- arated. Then the pulpy mass is washed out into vats to drain off the chemicals, and after it has become solid it is again washed out and pumped up into the engines and besten, and the usual process of paper mak- ing is then gone through with. Some makers, like Superintendent Tower, formerly of the Dexter Company, of Wind- sor Locks, think ever-green woods far pre- ferable, as having a larger and more hardy fiber. He thinks we are only inthe rudi- ments yet of wood-paper making, just as the rag-paper men were twenty years ago, and believes the time is coming when, by gradually discovering processes, wood pa- pers may be as finely made as rag papers @re now. a ae Why Cotton Seed Kills Hogs. A writer in the Macon Telegraph and Messenger argues that it is not at all im- probable that much of the mortality among the swine of Georgia, and ascribed to “hog cholera,” is the result of eating fresh cotton seed, to which they have frequent access at the gin house or when carted to the field and spread out fer manure. In proof of this suspicion he cites the following experance: “We have lost scores of hogs both in Lib- erty and Baker county, from the eating of fresh cotton seed, and took some pains to investigate how the poison operated. 8trict- ly speaking, there is no poisonous element in the seed itself. Repeated examinations of the intestines after death shows their ac- tion to be purely mechanical. The hogs gobble them up without proper mastication, and the seeds, stimulated and warmed by the fluids of the stomach, forthwith begin o swell and sprout. It is this germination that causes the death of the animal. Asa proof of this, when the germ has been de- stroyed by long exposure to the weather or steaming, hogs will eat thecotton seed with impunity. We have seen them burrow for weeks in a pile of old cotton seed in a fer- mented state, eating them ad libitum, with- out injurry. Indeed, the writer has used cotton seed to fatten his meat hogs, mixed with rice flour, bran, turnips, potatoes or loose corn, and thoroughly boiled, with the happiest result. Even in s green state they are excellent food for cattle and sheep, al- though the butter produced from the milk of a cow fed chiefly upon cotton seed is white and cheesy in its consistency.” CURE FoR THE Crow.—A success- ful plan has been tried by placing in the crow’s way a number of grains with horse hair run through them. He is bound to swallow one and his note of alarm is soon sounded. It is impossible for him to dislodge the grain, and if hecan be watched a sufficient length of time, he will be seen to cut his throat in scratching at it. His usual note is changed, and life to him is such a misery he would “even wish that he were dead.” It has-been noticed that after the note of alarm had been sounded all the crows in the vicinity will leave that field and approach it no more that season. It is a simple thing, yet all who try it will find it a success.— Lenoir Topic. rr I 0 ei The Mannfacture of Spools. The Hartford Courant says: The Willimantic, Conn., Thread Com pany of this city, whose yearly business calls for about twenty-five million speols which have to be made of white birch, has secured a tract of twenty thousand acres of woodland in Piscataquis county, Maine, and will establish a spool factory on the ground there, In this way the best of material for spools will be readily available, and by manufacturing them a considerale saving in freight will be made, since the finished article in- stead of Jumber will be shipped. The company will coniinue at Williman- tic to use Connecticut birch as here- tofore, but, as that does not meet al] the demands, the Maine factory will materially help out. It will give an idea of the amount of wood required, to state that the littlespools used each year ‘by the Willimantic company would, if laid one against the other extend over four hundred _ amilles, or Would virtually lay a double track nel A between New York and Boston ; and there’ are more than four million miles of thread wound upon them. ———eaoe Mora. Drteterics.—Dr. Bock, of Leipsic, writes as follows on the mor- al effect of” different articles of food and drink: “The neryousnegs and peevishness of our times are chiefly at- tributable to tea and coffee ; the di- gestive organs of confirmed coffee- drinkers are in a state of chronic de- rangement, which reacts on the brain producing fretful and lachrymose moods. Fine ladies addicted to strong coffee have a characteristic temper, which I might describe as a mania for acting the persecuted saint. Choco- late is neutral in its psychic effects, and is really the most harmless of our fashionable drinks.. The snappish, petulent humor of the Chinese can certainly be ascribed to their immod- erate fondness for tea. Beer is bruta- lizing, wine impassions, whiskey in- furiates, but eventually unmans, Al- coholic drinks, combined with a flesh and fat diet, totally subjpgate the moral man, unless their influence be counteracted by violent exercise. But with sedentary habits they produce those unhappy flesh sponges which may be studied in metropolitan bach- elor halls, but better yet in wealthy convents, The soul that may still linger in a fat Austrian abbot is functional to his body only as salt is to pork—in preventing imminent putrefaction.” How India-Rubber is Obtianed. A correspondent of the Boston Com- mercial Bulletin, writing from the Amazon river, Brazil, gives the fol- lowing account of the method of gath- ering rubber, as lately observed by him. The process, in many respects, resembles the method of obtaining sugar from the mapletrees in Ver- mont; “At last we arrived at the encamp- ment, which &eemed to be on an is- land in a vast archipelago, Though the Indians divided the water into river, creek, Jagoon, the latter formed by the overflow in the rainy season, I could not perceive the distinction. In some instances the lagoons appeared to have a current, while the rivers had none, but I accepted their names. “There were abundant groves of rubber trees in all directions, and men, women, and children were en- gaged in collecting the rubber, with more method in their labors than I should have expected among such a rude and savage people. Each one had a certain number of trees allotted to him, which he bored with an auger. He then inserted in the hole a piece of hollow cane. To the bark of the tree he fastened with mud a shell of a large clam, found in some of these rivers, These serve to catch the liquid. When it drips from the cane it is white as milk, but thicker or with more body. “A trough dug out of a log is sta- tioned in a central point, and when the trees are all tapped, the man goes his rounds, watching the shells and pouring the contents, when full into the trough. Toward sunset a fire is made of leaves and twigs, upon which is thrown the fruit of a certain kind of palm which gives forth a dense smoke, “A small round-bladed paddle, like those used in the canoe, is dipped in- to the milk, and turned over once or twice. It is then drawn out, covered with the coating of the liquid gum, and held at once inthe smoke of the fire, which hardens and also darkens the coating. It is again plunged in- to the milk and again smoked, and this process is kept up until the blade of the paddle is covered an inch to an inch and a half in thickness. A knife is passed along one edge ofthe blade and the mass removed. It appears in shape like a shoemaker’s lapstone with a sort.of nozzle on one side. In this state it is shipped. From one of these lumps of commercial gum _ the differ- ent coatings may be readily detached.” In this connection we may state that the New York Belting and pack- ing Company, No. 37 Park Row, New York, have lately placed in their show window a large and splendid living specimen of the rubber tree. The plant isin vigorous condition and attracts much attention.—Scien- tiffe American. The Most Married of Women. Benj. Abbott, who has just died in Smyrna, N. Y., in the 82d year of his age, was the seventh husband of his widow, who survives him. This much »|talked-of and much-published event (for it went the rounds of the press of the nation), when he for the second a ee ereetieeeeenanantitttetenneateiaieemesad aod she for the seventh time bowed before the altar of Hymen, ocetrred on June 30, 1876, he then being 78 and she 82 years old. Mrs. Abbott’s history in the marital relations of life stands perhaps without a parallel, and traditon has it there is to be yet an- other. It is currently stacted without} contradiction that some years ago she had a vision in whieh eight men stood befure her in a peculiarly impressive manner, which she nas ever regarded as prophetic of the number of con- quests she was to make. The eighth is just as likely and as reasonable as the seventh, and already public gossip is beginning to mark this and that man as the victim of the next conquest. Her maiden name was Williams, and she has been successively Mrs. Traux, Mrs. Riggs, Mrs. Farrow, Mrs. Wal- lace, Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Pratt and Mrs Abbott. In every instance, save the first, she has married widowers, some of them with a good number of chil- dren, and on one occasion in her early married life she went to the alms- honse and took therefrom three chil- dren and raised them. She never had any ohildren of her own, All her life has been spent near Smyrna and all her husbands were buried by the same undertaker, — A singular illustration of the mu- tual dependence of countries, one upon the other, is made by the de- pression of agriculture, with other in- dustrial interests, in Great Britain. The English manufaturers and con- sumers of phosphate manures have been largely dependent upon this country for the raw material, phos- phate rock which is in South Carolina, the mining of which has afforded a support to several thousand _ persons. The stagnation of trade and the bad outlook for agriculture in England have stopped the demand for manures. The manufacturers of phosphates have curtailed their purchases of raw material, and are left with large stocks of the finished product unsold. It is stated that nearly all the phosphate companies in South Carolina have suspended oprations, and more than 2,000 laborers have thus been thrown out of employment. ae THE NEWSPAPER Law.—The newspa- per law says if any person orders his paper discontinued he must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount. Alsoan action for fraud can be instiluted against avy person, whether he is responsible in a financial view or not, who refuses to pay for his subscription. 45 Years Before the Public. THE CENUINE DR. C. McLANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. AIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. ‘The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with Jax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. ‘There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to kim, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIvER to have been extensively deranged.

MERRELL’S HEPATINE, a Kemedy discovered in Southern Nubiaand used with such wonderful re- sults in South America where the most aggravated cases of fever are found, causes from one to two ounces of bile to be filtered or strained from the blood each time it passes through the Liver, as long as an excess of bile exists. By its wonderful action on the Liver and stomach the HEPATINE not only revents to a certainty any kind cf Fever and Black Z 5:6m omit, but also cures Headache, Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia and all Malarial diseases.

This is very unsatisfactory. The increase of population in the ante-di luvian epoch must have been in fur greater ratio as to time than at present ; for the average life of man was theu over five hundred years, instead of less then one hundred years, as it has been since.

Gentleman. ! to 4 —J. F. in Country pe Queen Bees and how Their Vacancies are Supplied. Tn a paper read to the Quekett Micro- seopical Club, Mr. Hunter states that a fertile queen bee will iu four years lay a million eggs. Twenty-one days are re- quired for the production of a worker bee; ‘but the eame egg that produced the worker in’ twenty-one days could, had the bees been so minded, have been bred up to a queen in sixteen days.” “The bees,” continues Mr. Huuater, ‘only rears queens when necessity calls for them, either from loss of their old) mon- arch or apprehended swarming. Jf I remove a queen from a hive, the first of these contingencies oceurs, and after a few hours’ commotion, the bees select certain of the worker eggs, or even young larvee two or three days eld. The cell is enlarged to five or six times its orditiaty capacity, a superabundance of totally different food is supplied, and the result is that, in five days less than would have been required for a worker, a queen is hatched. The marvel is inexplicable. How a mere change and greater abun- dance of food and a more roomy lodging should so transform the internal aud ex- ternal orgens of uny liviny creatare! The cuse is without parallel in all the animal ‘creation.

VANCE. while the notes of “Hail to the Chief,” which was performed by the band, yet lingered in the air. For some momenta there were cheers and bhuzzalis, whicli dtowned the voice of the speaker, but qaiet was at length restored, and the gov- ernor commenced his remarks by alluding to the fuct that while the celebration was begun in a spirit of frolic, the people were actually engaged iu carrying out the Di- command of “peace-making.” For bimeelf he regarded the war as over, and there was now nothing to be done but to enforce the constitution and the laws made im parsuance of that instrament—that he regarded the Union and the constitution as éynottymous and convertible terms, and that if both were regarded as they ought to be, there was nu reason why the ple North and South should not live ike brothers. He knew the people of North Carolina, as well as any mao could knew them, and the people of no seetion of the United States were more anxious to see harmony and reconcilation than they. North Carolinians, in the late war displayed a courage and endurance whieh were acredit to any people and while they might cherish memories of that struggle, he knew them too well to be- lieve that they still cherish prejudices. He related a pleasant iucident, told him by Gen. Gordon, ofa North Carolina sold- ier who went into a corn-ticld, which hap- pened to lie between the lines of the two t armies, to get some roasting ears. hen hailed by the Federal picket he told the yankee not to shoot as he was only “getting some corn tor supper.” He was accordjugly allowed to get as much as he desired, nnd departed. Just before day an attack was ordered, and as the sergeut marched through the cornfield, he was agaia bailed by the same picket, to whom he made the same reply as on the evyen- ing before, when in a moment his consci- ence ricked him, and he yelled out at the top of his voice, “I say yank, we ain’t after no corn this morning, but we're guing to shell the woods: get out of uhe way.” This story was related to show the houesty and sincerity of the masses of the people, and that the extension of the right hand of fellowship by the people of the State, to their victors was made in sin- cert He closed by saying that other 8 Ts were to fullow him and that he had always been willing to divide “from a shilling up ig 2 fight” with his friends. HON. D. G. FOWLE, who has not inaptly been styled the silver t orator of the State, was the next speaker. He commenced by saving that Caswell, Lilliugton, Davie, Ashe and other revolutionary patriots, in their eter- nal abode, if they still took an interest in wordly affairs, wight well rejoice at. the patrivtism which marked the events of the celebration. He dwelt at lencth on love of country und of home, and showed that the people of the State were celebra- téd for both. In alluding to the late war he said that the North Carolina heart was not in sympathy with the movement of secession, uutil if was announced that there would be a fight, and her were called on to take sides.

Thésé are the men who, while pre- tending to sympathize with us, tell of the horrurs of war, ef prisou pens, and in fact of wit and of more than any soldier had to suffer; and in return for this devlish talk expéct to ride in office on soldiers’ vote. Then we must step to the front again. Comrades, these political demagogues inust be taught that when we laid aside our arms Wwe meant peace, and peace we will have. The soldiers of both sections must unite for this purpose and thus se- cure a lJasting peace for our unhappy country. Few, very few, soldiers can be found who are unwilling to take a broth- er soldier by fhe hand, be he of the blue or gray, from the North or South. It is unnecessary that we should forget our brave comrades who have fallen, and who cannot.meet with us until that last great re-union; wecan at least revere their memory and annually bedeck their graves with floral offerings. As Senator Ransom said, ten years ago, ina memorial speech at Raleigh, “Thank God, there are fow- ers enough in this land of ours, and hearts gentle enough, and hearts good enough, to scatter them over both the blue and the gray.” That was a grand and noble sentiment uttered teu years ago, ahead of public§sentiment at that time, but thank God such utterances as came from your noble Senator then, meet now a cordial response from patriotic hearts in all parts of our glorious country. THE REBEL YELL. Six thousand people were around the stand and the speaker closed his remarks amidst‘the wildest cheering. When he had finished Senator Vance stepped for- ward and proposed three hearty old rebel yelts for the speaker, and these were giv- en With much enthusiasm. The next speaker was MAJ. C. E. MERRILL, OF MISSISSIPPI, who expressed his gratification at being able to participate in such a mecting. In 1865 he was lust through Salisbury as a part of Joe Juhston’s army, and was glad to note the march of progress which the town had made during that time. He dipped a little into politics and showed how sectional feel- ing had been kept alive by the politicians of the North, to the detriment of the people of both sections. He declared that the day for reconciliation, harmony, and the burial of prejudices, had come. He paid a beauti- ful compliment to Abraham Lincoln and re- lated an incident which occurred on the battle-field of Gettysburg, when one of the principal officers of the Federal army point- ed outto Mr, Eincoln the magnificent de- fenceSof Cemetery Ridje made by the Fede- ral soldiers and added: “Mr. Lincoln, Iam proad that the heroes who drove back the enemy under such circumstances are Ameri- cans.” He-replicd: Itoo am proud that they were Aniericans, but I am equally proud that the men who charged up those heights THREE TIMES were Americans.” He paid a high compliment to the sagacity, wisdom and conservatism of those members of Con- gress who had served in both armies. He closed jrith a tribute to the national gov- ernment, and hoped that our republican- Ism—net jn s Perey sense—might spread until the United States would become the grandest of nationalities. HON, A. M. SCALES ® was next introduced. He said the people without making any sie were ready for a.

While the war had brought much distress to the country, it had also brought us many blessings and one of the particular rbright ones Waa the freedom of the negro, and it had learned the people of both sec- tions the strength, the end uranee, the cour- age ofeach other.

It hath also been said “Blessed are the peace makers.” The war is ever, slavery is renoved and there is nothing now remaining between the United States and peace. Whose fault is it that peace has not been obtained years ago? If mine, if yours, if that of our enemies, God forgive us or them. The North is less charitable towards us now than ever before, and thig because we are solid. Yes, we are solid in our love of the constitution, our love of coun- try, our devotion to the principles of con- stitational liberty. he complaint of the North against a solid South reealls the stury of a great General.

He Wares the Bloody-Shirt for His Dear Friends Conkling and Cornell and is Followed by Blaine. New York, Oct. 25.—The Republicans held the largest’ mass-meceting of the | campaign to-night. Hon. Levi S. Mor- ton presided and after a few prelim- inary remarks introduced Hon. William M. Evarts, Secretary of State who was received with tumultuous applanse. Mr. Evarts§spoke for nearly two hours on the leading issues of the campaign. He eall- ed attention to the fact that the approach- | ¢. ing election in New York is of National importance, and that it is the duty of all Republicans to know what their actions should be. He spoke of the National convention and Presidential election to be held next year and denounced the idea that it was only State issues which now demanded the attention of the people. There was, he said, a determination, on the part of the people:to maintain free, and secure equal and universal suffrage, Which is the sup emeaud only authori ty-ier this country. The people had not hesita- ted to spend their wealth and sacrifice their lives when their will, as declared at the polls, had been resisted by military cotihenor orb th@ Gn deGubfat Tender | imperiled, they would dot” hesitate’ mote to entrast with power those w ean best maintais their privileges. Mr. Evarts ‘compared the respective merits of Cornell, Robineon and Kelly, |' and predicted the succesé of the Republi- can candidate for governor. He declared that the services of the Republicans- du- ring the dispute over the Iast Presidenti- al election were invaluable to the nation, while Mr. Potter and his investigating committee were only deserving of ridi- cule. Mr. Evarts also spoke at length of the solid South as an clement of jfanger and discord to the country. He *ilepied in strong langnage that the soldiers had ever been used at the polls for purposes; of intimidation. It wasademocratic pre - gramme to make motintaing out ef mole hills.

It is pretty safe to assert that where apple trees will flourish, there will some varieties of the grape do tolera- bly well. The manufacture of home-made wine from the grape is practised in many parts of the country with com- plete success, and is conducted almost precisely like that of cider. Have the grapes ripe and clean, mash them and press out the juice with care. Let it ferment fora few days, like good cider, then rack off, cleanse the casks thoroughly and refill them; bung tight, rack again early in the spring, and for the third time on the approach of hot weather. If the casks are sound and sweet, and kept well filled, and stored in a clean, cvol cel- lar, the beverage will excel in grate- ful flavor and in its healthful exhili- rating effects.— Exchange.

Language is as insufficient to de- scribe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stl- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate tdeu of the in- tensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of ee until I can say truly, ‘‘I am cured of all pain,” of all dis- ceases, With nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure. without any 1e- turn of the disease.

GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- r till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder Point came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia. and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six foo before she sat up or even turned over without elp. She now sits up all day, and -ews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.

George Ninaman, a St. Louis drum- mer, stopped ove night last week ata small crossroads hotel in Grant coun- ty, Southern Arkansas, The house contained four rooms and a kitchen. Arter supper Ninaman was told that he must spend part of the night alone, as the family’ would atte: da protract- ed meeting in the neighborhood, The host, with his wife aud daughter, left the house and Ninaman sat in one of the rooms alone. - His lonesomeness was added to by an owl in the yard, which hooted dismally, and an old red clock on a shelf, which ticked sol- emnly. The drummer, not having been ‘asigned to a room, could not go to bed, and he tried to keep awake by reading the “Life. of St. Panl,” the only book he could find, The hog- grease lamp was sputtering in unison with the ticking of the clock, when the door of an inner room opened and a tall, wild eyed, bushy-haired man entared. Without speaking he seated himself and atared at Ninaman, who naturally showed surprise. Present- ly a conversation was begun, and the man exhibited such intelligence that Ninansan’s fears were allayed, espe cially:as the man claimed to be the landlord’s brother. The conversation oquy recited properly ?” “I think so,” said Ninaman, “I have heard Booth.” “Booth does not catch the spirit,” said the strange lovking man. “He fails to engraft the twig of despair on the tree of Hamlet’s nature. Would you like to hear it recited properly ?” SY e,”’ “You shall hear it, I hope nothing tragic will occur, but, by Moses, you shal! have it anyhow.” | Arising, the wild-eyed man darted into an. adjoining room, and returned with a navy pistol. Placing the pis- tol on a table he began to recite in a voice so deep and with an air so wild that Ninaman was startled. When he came to “take up arms against a sea of troubles, and, by opposing, end : them,” he seized the pistol, cocked it, ' and placed the muzzle against his head. “Shall I end them?” he yell- ed, flourishing the pistol. “Shall I end | them with you?” Ninaman suggested that his trou- bles were not greater than he could bear, and asked the man to lay aside his pistol. “Ah, I see you do not like tragedy. You no doubt like comedy. Pull off, your coat and dance or I1’!] end your life.” The pistol was leveled and Nina- man pulled off bis coat and began to dance, “Whoop it up,” yelled the man, TV’ll end them. Pull off your trousers.” “or The trousers eame off and the dane- ing continued, “Pall off your drawers.” The drawers dropped off, “Off with your shirt.” The shrit Hew into the air; a noise was heard outside, and the Jandiord, his wife and daughter were on the porch. “Bet me go for God’s sake,” plead- ed Ninaman, No, sir; Vil kill you if you attempt to leave. You are a comedian.” The door knob turned. Ninaman spranetoward a door and rushed up- stairs as the pistol snapped. In afew minutes the landlord came up and handed Ninaman his clothes. “T forgot tu tell yor,” he said, “that my brother is deranged. old pistol, but couldw’t hurt anything with it.

C. S.S. Horne, while fishing re- cently. in Flint river, Ga., was dis- turbed by the continual falling of some heavy boay in the water. After listening for some time he concluded that something unusual was going on, and, seizing his gun, went forward to investigate. On the opposite side of the river he'saw a white object with a large dark one attacking it. A boat being handy, he bailed it, and expe- ditiously and quietly passed over.— He struck the bank about twelye feet above the cause of disturbance, sciz- his gun, and, as the boat swung around with the stream, fired at the head of the dark object. He then dropped the gun, and as the boat drift- ed he lifted an immense logger-hcad turtle into it, after which he pulled in the other object, which proved to bea large sturgeon. Before he could re- cross the river, the turtle, which was only stunned by the bird shot, recov- ered and showed fight. The situation was lively and interesting. The boat was leaky, the water deep and swift, the turtle large, strong and determin- edona fight. Itadvauced with open mouth, and Cul’s gun was empty.-— He-gave the beat alt-the impetus pos- sible, stuck the paddle in the beast’s mouth, drew a little penknife from his pocket and tried to cut its throat. As the turtle kept its hold on the paddle, ! he succeeded in this after several ef- forts. He then carried his prize home, MiLrorp, Penn., October 28.— A bout two weeks ago a widow named Avery, about 45 years old, left her home, near Salem Wayne county, Pennsylvania, to visit a brother, living near the Lackawaxen River, in Pike couoty, Pennsylvania. Stie was making the trip on foot. While passing through a dense piece of woods in the western part of Lack- awaxen Township, it being after dark,’ she | lost her way, and wandered fnto Tihkwig Swamp, a short way to the right ‘of the pub- lic highway, where she became fastened in the mire. When she fuund that she coud not extricate herself, she ‘culled lustily’ for help, but as no one ‘Tived' within sothe dis- tance her cries eehar Ghat Hét ‘tig. gling @ free herself caused her to sink deép- er and deeper in the mire in’ whieh she was caught. In this position she remained for eight days, with no food except bark from the bushes which grew within her reach. The water she drank she dipped from the bog with her hands. Mrs. Avery's brother, whom she was on her Way to see, was not aware of his sister's intended visit, and no search was made for the missing woman. A man named Basden, residing in Lacka- waxen township, happened to pass through Tinkwig Swamp a few days ago. He was returning from Rowland’s, a few miles dis- tant, to his home inthe western part of Lackawaxen township, and carried his gun in the hope of killing some game. As he was passing along the edge of the swamp he heard a peculiar moaning noise, He at first thought it was the moaning of cattle that might be grazing inthe woods. He paid no further attention, and passed on. Soon the same noise was heard again, this time more distinctly. He followed in the direction of the noisc, and was soon in the very heart of the swamp, He stopped again to listen further, when, looking to his right, he saw an object moving, which he found to be Mrs. Avery, struggling between life and death. IIe attempted to extricate her, but failed, and was obliged to walk some dis- tance for help. After giving notice to the nearest neighbors, he returned, accompani- ed by a number of men with a wagon. They finally succeeded in extricating the woman, and she was driven to a neighboring house, and medical assistance summoned. Although Mrs. Avery is vet very weak from the terri- ble ordeal through which she passed, she will recover. When questioned concerning her teelings*while imprisoned in the mire, she replied that they were beyond descrip- tion. She had, on the seventh day, given up all hope of being rescued alive, but on the morning of the eighth day she had a presentiment that help would reach her. Mrs. Av.cry’s mind is somewhat impaired by the terrible struggle between life and death. a sais ieee Tue Piuysicaln VALUE oF Srxa- ING.—Singing is one of the healthiest exercise in which men, women and children engage. The Medical Wochenschrift, of St. Petersburg, has un article based upon exhaustive re- can searches made by Prof. Monassein du- ring the autumn of 1878, when he ex- amined 222 singers ranging between the ages of nine and fifty-three. He laid chief weight upon the growth and absolute cireu.uference of the chest, upon the comparative relation of the latter to the tallness of the subject, and upon the pneumatometric and spirometric condition of the singer. It appears to be an ascertained fact from Dr. Monnassein’s experimeuts that the relative, and even the abso- lute circumference of chest is greater among singers than among those who do not sing, and that it increases with the growth and age of the singer. The | professor even says that singing may be placed physically as the antithesis of drinking spirituous liquors. ‘The lat- ter hinders while the former promotes. eee The wholesale and wanton destrue- tion of walrus by the whaling-ship crews in the Arctic ocean, which has b en going on for some time and is increasing every year, ts likely to re- sult in their practical extermination unless it is speedily checked, The cap- tain of a New Bedford whaler esti- mates that no less than 30,000 walrus have been killed this season, only abeut a third of which were secured. One of the results of this needless and useless slaughter is the death through starvation of many of the natives of the Arctic regions, who depend upon the walrus for food. In one village of 200 people all but one man died last winter, and in other villages from athird toa half of the population perished. Some of the whaling ves- sel captains have been humane enough this year to refrain from killing any walrus.

In all times, in all lands, and under all circumstances, the Confessional has been the instrument of vice, a temptation and help to secret sin. Instead of helping to relieve burdened consci- ences, it h as ministered to priestly in- iquities and the ruin of precious souls.

It includes the belief that He is what he claims to be, viz.. the Son of God, or God manifest in the flesh; the Messiah; the Prophet, Priest and King of His people, and therefore the Redeemer of men. This.in- yolves the reeagnition or the conviction and acknowledgement.of the truth of His doc- trines. This faith, tobe genuine, must not rest merely on external evidence, but on the revealing and testifying influence of the Holy Spirit. 2d.

The Observer announced a grand. pro- gramme for Weduesday, and the interest and attendance will doubtless increase from day to day. A goodly number of our citizens will attend the Fair. rr There was a terrible storm in Spsin re- contly, which destroyed millions of prop- erty, and a large number of humau lives. It came in the night. Citizens wept to bed without fear, but arose to find them- selves and their possessions engulfed in rushing torrents. The greatest destruc— tion cecuarred at and in the plains of Mur- cia; and at Alicante, the chief commer- cial town of Valencia. ‘Three villages were swept away, aud four others partial- ly flooded. ‘The loss of haman lives is given at 3,000, while 10,000 families were driven from their homes and are destitute. The damage to lands and other property is estimated at $10,000,000. _ EE eee The ‘Homestead Law” and the ‘Mort- gage Syetem,” said an old farmer the other day, “is no advantage to honest men. The homestead law cripples the energies of the man holding property under it, de- spoils him of credit and is a standing temptation to him to become a rascal. The mortgage system subjects his proper- ty to one or two men instead of his cred- its generally, as under the old system— enables a man to prefer creditors, where- as before all creditors were alike equal. This also tenda to make men dishonest, for they can fearlessly snap their fingers at their creditors outside the mortgage and tell them ‘I don’t propose to pay you,’ or ‘when you get very bad off you can go tu the county poor house.’ ” OO THe PREaBYTERIAN SyNOD alias THE Devit.—The ‘Western Carolinian” of the 31st inst., gives utterance to the fol- lowing, to say the least, not very cour- teous language. “The Presbyterian Synod at Statesyille resolved that women onght not to preach.

There was more interest felt in the election of New York than all the rest which took place last Tuesday, The general result is now known. New York has gove Republican, electing Cornell Governor, by fifteen or twenty thousand. Kelly r.ceived a mich’ larger vote in the city and county ef New York than was expected, running only about 3900 behind Cornell. The vote stands— Robinson 58,543, Cornell, 45,010; Kelly, 42,136.

The fight in this State turned on the public debt of the State; one party in faver of re-adjusting she debt, and the other of paying it. From present ap- pearances the debt paying party has won the coutest, though the returns are not yet fully made up, Which leaves the re- sult as doubtful. Wisconsin—From 20,000 to 23,000 re- publican majority. Michigau—Republican gain. Massachusetts—Butler is defeated for Governor by Long. Legislature, largely republican. Illinois Republican gains’ where the issue was straight between parties. Mississippi—Vote light, ‘all democra- tic. New Jersey--Republicans, gains, but not enoagh to change the complexion of the Legislature, which is still democratic, Pennsylvania—Shows republican gains. Two notable effeets result from the elec- tions on Tuesday which strike us just bow. First, the result in New York set- tles the question as to Mr. Tilden’s ro- nomination as the Demucratic candidate for the Presidency, Seeond, it shakes the confidence of the Demuerats in their abil- ity to carry the next presidential election atall.

FROM WASHINGTON. Logic oF THE POLITICAL SITUATION FROM A REPUBLICAN STANDPOINT — VIEWS OF SENATOR CARPENTER ON THE NATIONAL ContTest—THE GRANT MOVEMENT— MASSACHUSETTS CAMPAIGN, Ete. The Coming Natioual Campaing. WASHINGTON, October 30.—Senator Car- penter, in the course of au interview to- day, stated that the only reasog why he had not taken an active part in this cam- plaign was owing to the feeble state of his héalth. He says: “If New York and Peunsylvania should go strongly Repub- lican it will then be pretty certain that the Republican party, with any good can- didate, will sweep the field in 1880, and the effort will undoubtedly be to open the prize to the widest competition among the candidates in the convention, and the choice will be determined by person- al preferences or by chance. Conkling, Sherman and Blaine will in that event have abont equal chances, provided Gen- eral Grant should refuse to bea candi- date, as against him no one woald have any chance. If Gen. Grant is not nomi- pated or refuses to accept, the Republi- can candidate may be either Conkling, Sherman, Blaine or Clandler, and either one would be elected. From present ap- pearances it makes but little difference who the Democratic nominee is. Uuder the two-thirds rule iu force in the Demo- cratic convention po man can be noming- tep unless he is in full accord with South- ern sentiment and policy. I believe it makes little difference who the Democra tic nominee is, he will not be elected. The novuination of Judge Settle for Vice- President would be very popular. He is aman of ability and integrity, and would carry all the Republican strength in the South, and I think would carry North Carolina, Florida and perhaps some of the other Southern States. He would alse carry a full vote if the Northern States, because after the matter is plainly under- stood the Republicans of the North would understand that the nomination of a Southerner on our ticket would free us from the charge of being a sectional par- a Northern ticket, so to speak, avd the: bulk of their vote lies in the South. These facts will enable them to claim; that they are not sectional, you see, | erp men exclasively, aud the bulk of our support of Northern votes, the charge will rest against us that we ave sectiona- lists; besides this, Settle has been tried and trusted; he is as good a Republican a8 any man in the North to-day.” THE GRANT MOVEMENT. The particular friends here of Gen. Graut are so much encouraged by recent Southern political leaders that they now claim several States in. that section as sure to cast their electoral vote for him. It has been a subject of remark in this quarter for some time past that the ten- dency was in this direction, if personal expressions of men who are regarded as leaders of public opinion can be relied upon. A day or two ago a letter was re- ceived here froma ex-member of the years one of the must populous States of the Soath, and who fur four years was chair- man of oue of the most important com- mittees of the House. The gentleman says he is ready to see the Democratic party disband and “unite with the Re- publicans ju the ananimous selection of soine man who would give to the country a rest from the howl of factions.” He men- tions Grant as the man upon whom the two jarties ean unite. The Grant Re- publicans are making much ado over this Suggestion and the effect which they an- ticipate it will have. But, after all, it is only the expression of an individual, and of one who is not now in Private life by his own selection. GEN. DEVENS IN THE FIELD. Attorney-General Devens will leave here to-morrow for Boston. He will make speeches in behalf of the Republican ean- didates in Massachusetts on Saturday and Monday nights. He has no doubt of the defeat of Gen, Butler by a larger majori- ty than was cast against him last: year.

Grant under ‘their protec- tion. ‘ oo A proposition of a Bourbon vewspaper at Washington faintly shadowed forth an inclination to stop the ‘strong man” movement by assigning to the strong man a position more in harmony with his taste and capacity than that held iu re- serve by sinister partisans. The propo- sition is that the present Congress shall create tlie office of General-in-Chief, with full control of the Army, and emoluments ona scale suited to the rank; and shall confer the office on General Graut for the full term of his life. This, too, may be counted among the possibilities, since Republicaus of a certain class have sug- gested the same idea; but the proposal as now presented can hardly be_said to have any real significance. With the discussion that has been opened in the South, the case is differe:t. The Atlanta Constitution has the distinction of having first pul into shape the idea ou which the discussion turns. The Constitution is a Democratic journal of the first water. It is to the press of Georgia what Senator Hill is to is politicians, and. like him, it has smiled on the pretensions of Mr. Til- den. Startled somewhat by the vote in Ohio aud the gereral drift of Northern sentiment, it confesses itself in a quan dary, and in this mood gives publicity to the novel scheme for taking possession of Gen. Giant. The Constitution hears “well defined rumors of # movement to make Grant the nominee of the South.” The movement, it explains, is not a poli- tical one. ‘Its object is, by nominating Grant and offering him support in the as- sumption of extraordinary powers to nt- terly \reak down all the barriers of sec- tionalism aud leave no room for preju- dice and slander. “In other words” — still quoting from the Coastilution—“there are those atthe South who, hopeless of any contest based on constitutional grounds are ready and anxious to forestall and reap the political results of the centra- lism toward which Republicanism is har- rying the country.” Which, translated, means that rather than prolong a contest of increasing sectional malignity, and that operates with peculiar mischief upou Southeran material interests, the Sonth will help to make Grant dictator with the expectation of thereby making him its frieud. Thrath requires the admission that the movement described by the Atlanta, jour- balist does not reeeive encouragement from the Southern Demoeratic press. Dut the signiticance of the suggestion is equal- led by the significance of its reception. We have not to look very far backward for the period when the mero mention of th: rumor would have brought down upon a newspaper the anger of its section. Not so. now. The matter is taken up calmly, and though the movement—if. movement it be—is condemned as premature humili- ty. The Democrats will, of coarse, run|/ ation and! as an angenerous abandon- ment of the Northern Democracy, tliere are incidental allusions which convey more than the journals making them would like directly to admit.

He was known to have reach- ed the conclusion should cease, and that the South should be left to manage its own affairs. South may farther insist that what it complained of in Gen.

We re- commend this version of the strong man doctrine to the politicians who have looked at it only from a narrow and sel- fish point of view. ee The rights of States are essential to the liberties of the people, and for them = the Democracy contends. A centralized gov- ernment is the end of freedom and the foundation of tyranny: and a centralized government is the goal of the Republican party and its allies, the moneyed aristo- cracy and the monopolies. The greater the diffusion the nearer the approach to which problem this Union was) establish- ed. The liberties of the individual are only preserved by the diffusion of power. Tyranny feeds on ceutralized power. Republics vanish before it. The Democratic party battles for the preser- vation of this Republic through the main- tenance of the rights which the Constitu- tion reserves to States'and those rights—and those rights only—which are compatible with, aye, bound up in civil liberty. The Democratic party ulone is the loyal party; loyal to the Republie of the fathers, a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. The Republican par- ty is the champion of a “strong” govern- ment, a centralized government, which is the corner stone of a Plaindealer, Dem. throne.—Cleveland - ee - - —- - —— STATE RIGHTS. TIneh by inch by inch the people of every age permit themselves to be robbed ot their rights, until in time but the shadow of freedom remains. Itis a lamentable fact that so slow are the majority of the people to see that the chains of despot- ism are being forced upon them, that it is only when they are galled avd bound down by oppression they perceive their danger. Step by step, the advecates of the general government's deciding all mat- ters it may choose to act upen, are tak- ing away from the people the right to regulate all their local affairs; and if this idea is not checked, the day is not far in the future when the most) trival affairs will have to be sdjudicated not by a lo- cal magistrate but by an official appoint- od by the general government. An ofti- cial whose qualifications for office are po- liteal, affliation and vot integrity and uprightuess of character. Such officials for instance, as have made up the nice mess of officers of the Revenue Depart- ment since the war. These reflections are brought about by a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States at its last term in what are known as the “Pacitic Rairoad cases,” in- volving the constitutionality of as provi- ion .a an act’of Congress requiring these companies to proviile a sinking tund. The act was held to be constitutional. Justice Field tiled a dissenting opiuion, and in discussing the questons involved said : *““] am utterly ata loss to find where authority on the part of the United States to interfere with a State in this respect and take such control from it, is to be found, except in the theories of those who regard the general goverument as the all- controlling power of the pation, to which the States, in lecal matters, mast bend. I cannot assent to any such theories.

Let any Justice of Peace, or other per- sen having a copy of the Acts of the Gen- eral Assembly of North Carolina, passed at the session of 1872-73, refer to chapter 92, p. 143, and they will tind the follow- ing: SECTION 1. “The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact, That any tive electors, residents of the same county, may apply to the County Commissioners In their respective counties, at any regu- | lar meeting of the same, by written peti- tion, praying that any water course in their respective counties may Le made a lawful fence.” SEcTION 3. “Upon the hearing of such petition, the County Commissioners, who shall hear the same, are hereby authoriz- ed and empowered to declare any water course to which the petition applies, a lawful fence.” Franklin township, at her late election, adopted the “Stock Law,” thereby deci-- ding that she was unwillihg that the stock of her owe citizens and immediate neigh- bors should be allowed to roam at larze and grace indiscriminately on our farms. such being the case, it is not likely our people will permit the stock from other townships to eross over into our territory to commit depredatious upon our lands. Franklin is bounded on the north-west by Second Creek and on the south-east by Grant's Creek, both of which streams may be declared lawful fences, under the pro- visions of the above recited act. There is now a movementon foot, look- ing to that end, in the event Unity and Salisbury do not adopt the law. Unity is bounded on the north-west, by Third Creek, and in the event she fails to earrg the law, Scotch Irish will doubtless have that stream made a lawful -fenee, and being bounded on each end by mere streams, which are to be made lawful fences, she would indeed be in av uvenviable po- sition. But, we are rejoiced to hear from our esteemed friend and cotemporary, Wood- leaves,” that his noble old township, en- couraged by our success, has resolved to “try again.” That's right, friends. The entire population of Franklin have their eyes upon you, devoutly hoping you may succeed. We have sone things to say, aa to the probable predicament in which certain inevitable coming events, in regard to the Stock Law, may place the city (not township) of Salisbury, but will reserve them for a future article.

What the Synod of North Carolina Has to Bay of It. At its recent meeiing in Statesville, the Presbyterian Synod ef North Carolina Qnavimously approved and adopted the following paper which expiaina itself: Your committee appointed under the résolution ‘to prepare a paper setting forth the importance of Davidson Coltego to the. Church and to the country, and urging the friends of Presbyterianism and learning to increase its spatronage and fo aid in its endownient,” respectfully report the following: Davidsou College, dear to all’ Presby- terian hearts, was established forty-two years ago in Mecklenburg county, in one of the most pleasar.t and easily accessible parts of North ‘Carolina, and one of the inost healthy portiona of the United States. It is the child of many earnest prayers, many hberal gifts, and much self-denying and lofty philanthropic labors. After watching its course for many years, and through sore trials. and pecuniary losses, we to-day thank God for its present healthy and stable condition ; its past in- valuable services to our, Church in this State, and in all the States of the Soath- ern Atlantic slope; and fer its superior equipment with a noble faculty, equal to that of any other institution of learning in ability, to train our sons for active busi- ness and professional life. We kuow of no institution within our reach that cau surpass, or even equal Da vidson College, in these respects, viz: ‘1. In the ability of its faculty to impart a thorough and effective education. 2. In the high moral tone always pre- vailing among its students, and the large proportion of them who are candidates for the “Gospel ministry in various chusches.. 3. In itggrand benoyolent work in of- fering tuition to the ‘somsof ministers of every Genonination ; and farther, in giv- ing the tuition fees, in the shape of a loan to any poor but deserving young man. 4. In the cheapness of its boarding, ranging from $5 to $10 per menth. Whether therefore the superiority of the education afforded, the moral influ- ence, the generons service for those that need, or the reasonable rates at which such advantages may be obtained, be con- sidered, Davidson College is eminently deserving of a wide and hearty patronage, as the best and safest place: for oar sons, where the best and safest education may most cheaply be secured. In view, farther, of tlrese facts, while the College is now on a solid foundation, it yet needs a far more munificent endow- ment to enable i€ to enlarge its faculty, to make every desirable improvement in its facilities for doing the best education- al work that can be done any wherein this eountry. We therefore second any appeal made by this institution for an iscrease of its endowment. Its endowment ought to be increased from its present status to at least $500,000. No lover of sound educa- tion and of the cause of our blessed Lord can do anything that will be more effect- ive, in promoting these high aims for gen- erations to come, than by bestowing on this loved college the most liberal gifts, both by immediately bestowments, and by generous arrangemeuts for future do- nations in any effective way.

H.sSairn, D.D. ee aac ee A New England Lady Finds Something Good in the South ~=——— In the mass of bitter expressions made in the Northern press concerning the Southern people it is gratifying to find now and then a good word said of us. A Northern Lady writing to the Nation has this to say: To the Editor of the Nation : Sirn:—I have just returned from a sum- mer spent in South Carolifta where I had every opportunity to study the political and social condition of things. The gain in material prosperity since the educated classes recovered control of politics is than among the whites. lL can ‘compare the old condition with the new. I spent nine mouths in South Carolina almost immediately after the war, when carpet-bags were a possibility rather than a fact. The older men of the State were stunned by the complete col- lapse of the old institutions, and kuew not how to adapt themselves to the chang- ed condition of life. It was the same with the negroes. Up to this point there was no sign of illfeeling between the white man and his formercsiave. Indeed, the master was grateful for the kindness and fidelity shown during the war. Why shou.d there be antagonisin, the interests of the two racea being the same? What followed, we all know. The most ruinous accomplishment of the set of men who flocked to the State, scenting ‘plan- der, was the antagouism they brought be- tween capital and labor; capital, being less robust, suffered more than labor. My 4 next winter Guring triumphant “spoils” period, which bas been elaborately enough describee, Laud was lying uncultivated, the negre.was ilg and perfectly demora- lized.

Chey work during the day in that burn- ing suv, side by side with the negro, in perfect good comradeship.” The great want of the State is capital, and that must flow in when the future is assured. Out- side interference in. polities will be ruin- ous. It menus acceutuating the color line; it means arraying labor against cap- ital, ignorance against. education. . The mistortuue for South Carolina is the com- ing Pregidential election. But for that the names of Republican and. Democrat might be erased from the spelling-book. If she were not needed for party purposes, she might be left iu peace to bind up her wounds. Now’ one last word as to security of life and possessious. ‘The contrast here is in favor of South Carolina as against my own New England. In a Connecticut town, last summer. [kept a pistol asa comfort, if not a protection. In South Carolina, not a tramp all summer, and no beggars! Our household was eumposed of three women, the servant sleeping iu “the yard.” Our house is a little isolated.

When so much that is false is being said, | hope these few words from a New England Republican may not pass quite unheeded. N.S. New York, October 7, 1879. [|The writer of the above, a woman, is a well Known teacher io this city.— Ad. Nation. oe From the Morning Star. Senator Hil) Interviewed. The Atlanta Constitution has interview- ed Senator Hill since he returned from his visit to New York. He says he never went to that city on any such errand as was attributed to him, and did not allow himself to be interviewed whilst there. He thinks Thurman’s loss from the Senate a national calamity. Le says the great question before the country, upon which the twe parties stand face to face, is this: “Shall we continne our Constitutional systein of dual, Federal and State govern- mernt, or shall we by force and fraud, and pot by Constitutional amendments, destroy that system and substitute for it one consolidated empire.’ This is the is- sue for 13830, and the result will be the test—it may be the final test—of the ca- pacity of the American people for self- government.” He says the Republicans are using the press, the pulpit, the rostrum, the money- ed corporations, the rings and the rogues to sectionalize the country, and for no higher motive than to hold office. In this he is clearly correct as any one must ad- mit who reads the secnlar and religious press ef the North. Mr. Hill says: “In this work they are bold, brave, mendacious, unscrupulous and hypo- critical to a degree never before equalled in the history of this wicked world. On the other hand, the Democrats are timid, cowardly, dividing into feuds and factions, coquetting with every crazyism, abandon- ing their most distinct and time-honored principles, and seeking by every device to avoid the only issue which is now worth a statesinan’s thought or a patriot’s care—the Republican conspiracy to sec- tionalize the country and substitute abso- lute government fur constitutional gov- ernment. | trust the defeats of this year will bring the Democrats to their senses, concentrate their energies, and inspire them with courage to meet the Republi- cans on their own chosen ground of sec- tionalism to accomplish empire. If 8o, our instiutions wiil be saved; otherwise they will be lost.” There is not the slightest doubt of this. The Nootherp people, if they ever under- stood the genius of our government, have forgotten it; if they ever had any attach- ment toa republican government of law they have lost it. The South, threugh Jefferson, Washington, Madison and others, originated and set up tbe General Government, with its uhree branches, the Executive, the Legislative and the Judi- cial, and it has thus far preserved it. Mr. Hill says he is fuily satisfied that the game of the Republicans is to make the South solid for the Democracy—that they desire this ‘‘as a meaus for makiog the North solid for the Republicans.” He says emphatically : “They desire to make two solid sec- tions, in order to make one solid, absolate centralisw in the hands of a solid, wick- od, plundering Republican oligarchy.— They seek to bind the masses of the North. ‘ern people to this object by exaggerating every crime that oceurs at the South, and by manufacturing hundreds that do vot occur; by shot-gun lies and bugaboos of Southern denunciation, and by confound- ing State rights with secession. If they are not met fearlessly on this lirect ques- tion of their conspiracy to destroy the constitutional aystem, and their lying ex- posed to the people, the Republicans will succeed. The courageous mendacity of the Republicans, and the cowardly divis- ions of the Demucrats, are the two great dangers that now threaten to engulph the republic. pe The tendency of Democratic govern- ment to become the government of a political'party is an ackvowledged evil. All wise men apprehend in this one of the chief dangers to Kepublican institations. For party goverument becomes necessari- ly the government of a few party leaders. Houest voters, who have become by years of habit regular voters for a party ticket, shut their eyes to the fact that they are mere followers of certain men who are the party managers, and imagine they are sustaining principles when they are only sustaining men.

In this respect, we are greatly wanting in North Carolina. In the country, under the present system, it seems to be a necessity, tokeep the muscular powersstrdng to their utmost tension, to keep on the sur- face. to the sad neglect of the intellectual.

SENATOR CHANDLER DIES IN HIS BED AT A HOTEL, After a Speech Friday Night, at Chicago, He Retires, and is Found Next - Morning a Corpse. CuicaGo, Nov. 1.—Senator Zachariah Chandler, of Michigan, was found dead in his bed at the Grand Pacific Hotel this morning. He had been speaking in Wis- consin aud last night addressed an im- mense audience at McCormick Hall, this city, and spoke with his usual earnest- ness. After the meeting, when he and Senator Logan and Hon. Jesse Spaulding were sitting in his room enga | in con- versation, Senator Chandler Be ined of indigestion. As he bad complained of some distressing feeling while ex route to this city with those geytlemen, Mr. Spaulding suggested thathe’ temain.over in the city until Saturday: night, but he said that business affairs. requived -his at- tention at home, avd an order was given o'clock. His frieuds then-bade-him good night and left. That is the last-time the Senator was seen alive. This morning when the office boy called him there was no response. As upon a repetition of the call silence prevailed, the clerk effected ou entrance throngh the transom and found that the Senator was dead. The body was uot quite cold. The physician who was presené decided tha€é death had occurred about three heures previous: to the discovery. The face looked tranquil showing that death was paivless. The coroner will hold an inquest. John B Drake telegraphed President Hayes the sad intelligence about 8 o'clock. - Paul Boyton, who is amusing himself by floating down New England rivers, hada narrow escape from death on Tuesday last while shooting some rapids.

The machines have a capa- bility of cutting nearly eighteen hun- dred garments ina day of twelve hours, or about equal to the combin- ed results of the labor of eight men. Buttonhules also caa be worked by machinery at the rate of one hundred and eighty per hour, while by hand it would take the same period to com- plete three holes. By the cutting ma- chines folds of cloth forty ply thick- ness can be easily cut throngh. An instance of the value of machinery in expediting manufacture is afforded in the factsthat the establisliment where cutting and buttonhole machines are used turns out one hundred suits ready for wear inside of twelve hours,—Scientific American, > s-——— The Elevated Railway Extension.---De- tals of Construction. The constructors of the iron work of the Second Avenue Metropolitan Elevated Road and the extension of the west side line to Harlem, Messrs. Clarke, Reeves & Co., furnish the fol- lowing figures, supplementing those given in our description of that.work last week. It is proper to add that we are indebted tothe same gentle- men for the photograph from which the large engraving of the 110th street curve was made. The new structure on the east side has a length of seven and thirty-six handredths miles, and required 28,- 0CO tons of iron. The west side ex- tension, from 53d street to Harlem river, four miles in length, required 16,200 tons of iron. In the 44,200 tons of iron used in building the two sections of the road, there are 971 miles of angles, 314 miles of flat bars, 20 miles of Phenix columns, 2 acres of plates, 54 million rivets, and 21 million punehed holes. The prepara- tory work was done at the Pheenix- ville rolling mills and shops, the average day’s work being 3 miles of angles and 1} miles of flat bars, at the mills‘ aud 66,600 holes punched and 17,430 rivets driven, at the shops. The high viaduct shown in our en- gravings is 4,000 feet long, with an average height of 45 feet. At 8th avenue and 110th street the road is 59 feet above the pavement, and the foundation extends 36 feet below the pavement, making the total height of the structure 95 feet. The founda- tions are from 30 to 40 feet deep, and cost $200,000 a mile. Each pair of high piers contains as many bricks as a house 20 by 50 feet and three stories high. If the grades had fullowed the Streets a maximum grade of 170 feet to the mile would have been required, Now the maximum grade is 75 feet. The foundations and general design and arrangement of the iron work were planned by John Baird, Gener- al Manager, and W. F. Shunk, Chief Engineer of the Metropolitan Eleva- ted Railway company, The special design and censtruction of the iron work was by Clarke, Reeves & Ca: of Phenixville, Pa.—J, 8, ———— The Egyptian Obelisk for New York. Licutenant Commander Gorringe, U.S. N., and his assistant, Lieuten- ant Schroeder, have sailed fur Liver- pool, on their way to Egypt, to Super- inted the removal and shipment of the Cleopatra Needle presented by the late Khedive to this city. The ma- chinery to be used in handling the monolith has heen prepared at the Roebling Works, Trenton, under the direction of Mr. Gorringe. The World saysthat this machinery will agere- gate about eighty tons in weight. It consists of two towers, each 26 feet in height (which are to be shipped in sections and put together after their arrival in Alexandria), two steel cast- ings, each weighing over six tons, and a cradle 60 feet in length. The tow- ers correspond to the sides of a gun carriage, and the castings to the trun- nions ona gun, Like the machin- ery for handling the monster gun of the colossal Italian jronelad Duilio, this machinery fur moving the Alex- andrian obelisk will command the critical attention of machinists and engineers ; and it is Satisfactory to know that the work of transferring to the New World this great Egyptian monument will be carried out entirely under American auspices, The method of embarking the obe- lick is described as follows: A steam collier having a water bal inst. com- partment will be seoured alongside: of the pier, and the negessary prepara- tions made for heaving her down to careening lighters placed alongside on the side opposite to the pier, The water ballast compartment will be filled. A port having been opened to admit the obeklisk into the fore-hold, it will be launched in, The listing of the steamer from taking ite weight will be overcome by heaving down on the careening lighters, and the sink- ing due to both operations will be counteracted by pumping out the water ballast compartment, thus re- moving a weight of water correspond- ing to that of the obelisk. Tidal and wind-drift differences of level will be overcome by means of a float secured at the shore end after the fashion of a ferry slip.—ZJ. 5. Will Bray ton’s Fearfal Adventure. Sr. Louis, Ovtober 28.— Advices from St. Charles; state that will Bray- ton, who went up in his balloon on Saturday, came back to town to-day about 5 o’clock. He landed about eight miles north of Grafton, Ill., af- ter having been in the air about an hour. The balloon travelled at a fearful rate, having gone about sixty miles in that time. It first went to- wards the Mississippi and then fol- lowed that river up for some distance. The current of air then changed and brought it back toward Grafton, where Brayton effected #landing.e He suf- fered intensely from the cold, being clothed only in thin tights. He found himself becoming numb and had to tie himself in the rings. Brayton says he wassonumb when the balloon came down that, had he not been as- sisted by some men who were near, he would have been dragged to death, He says it was the most fearful ride he ever took in theair. How He Was Cared of Swearing. John came in and inquired wheth- er dinner was ready, and was told it was not. “Well, why in the devil isn’t it?” said he. ‘ “Because,” she coolly replied, “the wood was so wet that the fire wouldn’t burn.” “Why, Mary, what is the matter with you? Are you crazy or have you been drinking ?” “Neither,” she said, and quietly proceeded to put on the dinner, The beef didn’t melt like butter be- tween the teeth—it rather resisted all attempts at mastication, like so much india-rubber, and finally John blurt- ed out.: “What makes this——beef so in- fernal tough ?” Mary looked up archly and replied: “Well, John, I suppose you went down to the butcher’s and without knowing the difference, picked out a piece of some——old stag that hadn’t been fed for a month.” John jumped up, looked at his wife in dismay, and wanted to know what such language from her lips meant. “It means just this, John; you are the head of the family, and just as long as you think it manly to swear in my presence I intend to do the same! If you don’t like to hear it you know how to prevent it.” The cure was radical, and to this date Mary has never been compelled to administer another dose of Dr. N—’s prescription. Frencu Rattway TRAVELING.— The distance from Paris to Marseilles is 600 miles, aud by a recent arrange- ment a train of the Paris, Lyons, and Mediteranean Railroad makes this long journey in fifteen hours, leaving the capital at 8 a. m., and reaching the shores of the Mediterranean at 11 Pp. m., an average continuous speed of forty miles an hour. THE OLEANDER.—This beautiful plant, when under proper culture, is truly a gem among flowers. This is a1 good time for making cuttings of it. The best way for rooting them is in a bottle of rain water set in the window. The cuttings should be no deeper in the water than half way up to the second joint, and when the rootlets get to be haif an inch long, carefully potin rich, sandy loam. After the plant blooms, cut back to within a foot or fifteen inches of the ground, when three branches will come out ; let them grow until it again blossoms, after which out them all back about six inches from the main stalk, and every time it blooms repeat cutting buck, and in few years a very beauti- ful plant will be the result; in fact, with proper care, it will grow more beautiful, with age. * Gg ee cao te to THE CENUINE » : .

The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled, with pain, acconipanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is somctimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness ind debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet cxamination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

Talbot’s new patent Spark-Arrester ts really the on ly perfect and reiiable one, and is superseding al othersin use. The great efficiency of this Arreste is attracting universal attention, and ts being en dorsed by the best mechanical engineers and insu rance companies. kts prominent features are :— Itdoes not destroy the draft. Jt does not interfere with cleaning the tubes. It will not choke up, and requires no cleaning. It requires no direct dampers to de opened when raising steam (dampers being objectionable, as they Inay be left open and allow sparks to escape.) It requires no water to extinguish sparks, which, by condensation, destroys the draft.

How Philadelphia Press, King Varicty Organ, His Presidential election of 1876, when, second service as Chairman of the National Repub- lican Committee, he announced to the people the eleetion of President [ayes by a majority of one vote in the Lleec- toral College. To maintain that ma- jority it was necessary to hold the votes of Florida, Louisiana, Oregon and South Carolina, in all of whieh States there was early indications of trouble. Senator Chandler assumed the task of making good his assurance. He authorized the employment of persons to enter the necessary proceed- ings in the courts, to prepare the re- quired proofs, and generally to pro- tect the interest of the Repulican par- ty in those States and in the Electoral Commission, These expenses he met out of his private funds, and it is un- derstood the cost of attorneys and agents and their necessary expenses involved an outlay of over $10,000, fur which he did not receive reim- bursement. 2 a Georgia, says the Wilmington Star, is an instance of thrift in spite of po- litical persecution and general finan- cial prostration, It is a Hourishing State, and its neighbors might well profit by its example. The following paragraph from one of its papers— the Sunny South—contains some in- structive information. It says: “Georgia bonds are worth to-day equally as much as those of the Uni- ted States, and are as eagerly sought for by capitalist. She has recently readily disposed of $200,000 of her 4 per cent. bonds at par. These were fgsued to pay asimilar amount of eight per cent. bonds falling due, Eight years ago her seven per cent. bonds were selling at twenty-five cents be- law par, ‘These four per cent. bonds are of as low denominations as five dollars, and they circulate as money, thus supplementing the national cur- rency. ‘This is a fine stroke of finan- whipping of the Tammany clique that den and Gov.

N.C, NOVEMBER 13, 1870 Portrait of a Pope. | Shelley, the poet, says: “Religion, in the mind of an Italian Catholic, is adoration, faith, submission, penitence, blind admiration ; not a rule for mor- al conduct. It has no necessary con- nection with any one* virtue. The ost atrocious villain may be rigidly devout, and, without any shock to es- tablished faith, confess himself to be so. Iteligion is, according to the tem- per of the mind which it inhabits, a passion, a pursuasion, an excuse, a re- fuge ; never a check.” While Alexander VI. was Pope, Hieronymus Porcius wrote, maintain- ing the doctrine of the Papal infalli- bility, and asserting that-he only is a Christian who worships and blindly obeys the Pope. To a hypereritical intellect it would almost seem that the theory of Papal infallibility, when ap- plied to Alexander the Sixth, is sub- Jected to some slight strain. This is the truthful portrait of this infallible Pope as given in the last number of the Niacteenth Century : “The life, the actions, and the char- acter of this Pope will forever ren:ain amoral problem. It-must be remem- bered that he was Pope. He was not merely an almost incredably wicked man, but he claimed to be Vicar of God. Apart even from the darkest crime which stains his infamous mem- ory, his life was a long breach of the commandments which say, thou shalt not steal; thou shalt do no murder; thou shalt not commit adultery ; thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Alexander the Sixth is, perhaps, the preatest and foulest criminal in history; and he is, fur- thermore, an oceupant of the chair of St. Peter, the infallible pontiff of a Church which claims to be connected with Christianity. ‘““Alexader did not hate or condemn the world ; he was no Titanic skeptic or atheist, whose profound disbelief in divinity, and raging scorn of human- ity, led him: to despise heaven anc to dety hell, No, he believed—in. his way ; but be could tarn from incest, from adultery, from murder, to wor- | ship the Virgin, to perform mass, to fulfill any of the: highest and most mystical functions of sacerdotal sacred- ness.. Ife was nearly always: sucoess- ful; he was invariably happy.) In him were blended materialism and superstition, He touches humanity chiefly in his love for his children, but is otherwise as infrahuman as le is undivine. It would almost seem as if some demon had, in mockery of men, created a being who should thrive through unsurpassed wickedness, and who—as the profoundest effort of dev- ish satire—should be placed on high in the then chief office of Christendom, and be worshiped by millions as the iatallible representative on earth of the all-wise, all-merciful, omniscient, and eternal God.” eee Tire New York papers publish a complaint eminating from the State Board of Gharities of the large num- ber of pauper immigrafts who are jnst now reaching the port of New York from foreign countries. These objec- tionable immigrants include the maim- ed, the halt and the blind. The New York Board suggests that Congress, provide by law the funds required to mect the expense of returning such parties to the place of their departure, and that United States Ministers and Consuls abroad be instructed to inter- fere as far as possible to prevent the shipment of furéign paupers to the United States. The efforts of the New York officials in devising means to check this evil should be heartily see- onded by the authorities of other States, and Congress should give heed to the demand for an official remedy. ——Raliegh News. ae New Worps.—While many words once in Common use are now nearly obsolete, few persons are aware how large a number of new words are con- stantly coming into our language. The supplement of the new edition of Web- ster’s Unabridged Dictionary recently issued, contains among other attract- ive features, an addition of over four thousand six hurdred vew words and meanings, and yet it is buta few years since a general revision was made and great care taken to insert all the words then properly belonging to the Eng- lish language. Where these words come from and what they are, isa surprise to person who havo not ex- amined them. They have not been hastily compiled is evidenced by the accuracy of and careful study given to x ‘¥ sia . te The Carolina Fair. The Annual Exhibition “Of the Carolina Fair Association opened* on Thursday morning last. The number of visitors on the first day was not large, but jon Wednesday and Tuesday the namber was considerably increased, and there was a larger crowd than on any previous occasion of the sort. The Hotels and all the Boarding Houses were filled to over- flowing. ‘ While the exlibition of. horses and stock wag not very large, the quality was superior, being mostly bloodel animale. The display in floral Hall was quite cred- itable, and in some Departments superior to anything heretofore exhibited. The exhibiton of Machinery, though not large in quantity, was sobstantial and No. Lin workmanship. A fuller notte Mile Ex- hibition in various Departments will be published in our next, and also a list of premiams awarded. The read steamer of Dr. E. 0. Elliott of Catawba county, attracted marked at- tention and interest. It runs on even and uneven ground easily and smoothly, being guided by a lever in the hand of an engineer who sits on the top of the ma- chine. The Military parade on Wednesday Was quite imposing, consisting of two Charltote Companies and the Cadets of the Carolina Military Institute, and Capt. Bell's corps of Cadets from King’s Mountain, {the Auson Veterans from Ansou county, the Southern Stars, from Lincoln county, the Polk Ritles from Pineville, Mecklenburg county, and the Meckleuburg Riflemen. The Rock Hill Band and the Band belonging to the Charlotte Greys furnished the musie. On Thursday there was a large crowd in the city, and the Fair Grounds pre- scuted a throng of people seldom seen there. Col. D. K. McRae, whowas to de- liver the Annual Address, was present, baving arisen from a sick bed for the pur- pose of discharging that duty, and made an effort to speak, bat after speaking for a sort time had to abandon the attempt on account of hoarseness and general de- bility from the effect of a bad cold. The people regret his affliction and at being deprived of hearing him, but know that he made‘a brave effort to gratify them. The friends of the Fair are gratified at the success which has attended their eft. ortstomake it strictly an Agricultural, Me- chanical and Commercial Exhibitton. We learn that the receipts at the gate on Wednesday amounted to about $700, and 4 on Thursday we presume the amount was larger.

J., for many years an extensive manufactur- er of wollens, while at Boston on a business trip mentioned toa business acquaintance that, although having transactions with Amos Lawrence for many years, he had ney- er met him, and proposed to make his ac- quaintance. After the introduction Mr. Lawrence inquired, “What is your occupa- tion, Mr. Einstein“? “I am proprietor of the Ranitan Woollen Mills, and I have purchas- ed wool of you these many years,” replied Mr, Einstein, very much surprised that his name scenied to be unknown. After a mo- ment’s reflection Mr. Lawrence asked, “Have you always paid your notes, Mr, Einstein ?” “Always sir!” he replied, now beginning to grow indignant. “Ah, that explains it,” suid Mr. Lawrence, ina tone of triumph, “T know those men who don’t pay their notes.” oe Rerracrory Ores.—The Minning Record of New York, of November Ist., says: “The New York and North Carolina Smelt- ing Company was organized under the laws of the State of New York on October 25, 1879.

Mr. Jonas Deal saw it a few years ago and said it looked fully thirty-feet long. It made a terrible nvise as it lashed the ground with its huge body and Mr. Deal retreated, glad to escape with his life. Many of the honest Dutch thought it a boa-constrictor that had escaped from some show, and crowds of men gathered week after week with dogs and guns to look for his snakeship, and, if possible, over- power and kill him. Last week as Mr. Set- zer was Walking alone through a ficld in that vicinity, he came upon a snake which must be ason or grandson of the first nam- ed.

OOO Oe Cotton Factories in the South. We have heard a great deal of talk for years of bringing the Factories to the cotton fields instead of sending the cotton to New Fngland to be manufactured into cloth and yarns, and then bringing it back to South- ern planters to wear out. The signs of the times indicate that we are on the eve of rea- liging this long talked of policy. The pros- perity of southern mills as compared with those of the northern and eastern States, is a practical demonstration of its wisdom ; and one fact like this goes further towards bringing it to the test than years of news- paper theorizing and preaching. Southern factories are now operating to their utmost capacity and many of them unable to fill orders as fast as they come in. A factory near Greenville, 8. C., received orders, a few days ago, for $30,000 worth of goods to be shipped to China, more than they can make in months. The factories in Rockingham county, are working up totheir utmost ca- pacity, with demands ahead and _ pressing. The Pee Dee Millis now calling on the Stockholders to increase their stock 25 per cent, in order to extend the producing ca- pacity of the mill. Some of the Stockhold- ers have responded with pledges to increase 50, and others 100, per cent., and all, so far as known, and ableto do so will grant the extension. But these are not exceptional cases: they are offered to illustrate the gen- eral condition of southern factories, which, from the best information to hand, is highly encouraging everywhere. The stock is pay- ing a good per cent., and this new industry is destined to build up towns in the south- ern country not now dreamed of. Thous ands of impoverished families are already made happy by profitable employment in the factories; and as. this great interest, which should be regarded as the peculiar property of the South, shall be fully devel- oped, other thousands will rejoice in a pros- perity of which they have now no hope.

Charleston News and Courter, We are pleased to learn that the work on this road 1s progressing satisfactorily. Some thirteen hundreds tons of steel rails with the necessary fastenings, which were con- tracted for before the recent extraordinary advance in metals, liave already arrived, or are on the way here, and are in course of delivery at Cheraw. About five miles of the track from the Cheraw end of the road have been laid, and as large a force as can be used with advant- age is employed in pushing it on. Upon the completion of a mile of unfinished grad- ing at Wadesboro, upon which 1 large num- ber of hands are also engaged, the company will ship there a supply of rails by the Caro- lina Central Road, in order that the laying of the track from that end may be commenced, and so facilitate the completion of the road. Those interested inthe Salisbury and Rockingham road with a branch to Wades- boro, should be up and doing. Every day’s delay is a waste of opportunities—is a day lost—and how much more it is not easy to say. Indeed, the friends of the roads men- tioned ought now to be at work. The com- pany should have been formed months ago, and the work of construction by this time well in hand.

He says that on the expiration of his term of service he will return to his home to attend to his own business which has been sadly neglected of late; that the late fight was purely a local one, and. he} has little doubt that, witha presidential candidate acceptable, not to any section, of the party, but to all of the party, New York can be carried by the Democrats in 1880. When asked if he favored the nom- ination of Mr. Tilden again for the presi- deney, Governor Robinson replied: ‘That question T don’t care to answer just now. It is not the proper time, nor is my opin- ion of sufficientimportance about it to car- ry any weight. Mr. Tilden isa warm friend of mine, and -if nominated hé will have my support, as would any other can- didate who might be chosen by the na- tion convention; but as tothe policy of nominating Mr. Tilden ] really have no opinion to express one way or the other. “A noble and pure man, without a stain on his escutcheon. Tonly hope for his own sake that he may not be nominated, for they would abuse him unmercifully. He would not escape calumny, and his previous record would not avail him. The torrent of vituperation would be Ict loose on him as soon as_he received the nomi- nation.” He thought the ticket recently suggested of Hendricks and Potter would be a very strong one, but he was not at all sure of the policy of swapping herses in that way while crossing a stream. eS gy pe How IndjJana is to be Carried. Ex-Gov. Hendricks, in his recent In- dianapolis speech, referred to the negro exodus, and ‘‘charged that it was the re- sult of a regular organization iu the North, directed’ from Washington, and carried forward with a view to carrying the country by a solid North next year.” He said a plan was afloat and now being carried forward to flood the State of In- diana with colored nen, and thus over- ride the will of the native born and resi- dent whites, and = displace the white laboring men. He indignantly denoun- ced this scheme, and said it was being carried out pursuant to a regular plan. The proposition from Kansas that the exodus be changed to other States in part no doubt originates among the managers of the movement. Our files will show that weeks ago we said that the game would be to fill Indiana with negroes be- cause that State was thonght to be neces- sary for the election of the Democratic candidate in all probability. If eight or ten thousand negro voters can be impor- ted into Indiana, and the usual applian- ces of the party are resorted to, such as bulldozing, — ballot-stuffing and false counting, the Stalwarts think they can carry the State. They know that in 1876 these agencies were specially potential, and they will resort to them again as sure as the sun shines. But to make their chances brighter they will engage in the immigration business largely. They must do this in order to make up for the losses they will probably sustain in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. This time they will hardly be able to use the army for intimidating purposes, and the Returning Board system of frand and villiany will not exactly work in 1830 as in 1876. The Republican leaders are smart and tricky, and they will certainly resort to every device and plan. possible to compass their ends. The Indiana movement is developing early a part of the system to which they will “turn.— Wilmington Star. ee eae BouRBONS To BE SENT TO THE REAR.— Washington, Nov. 7.—The apparent. re- sult of the election in New York has giv- en new courage to the Conservative Dem- ocrats here who have been endeavoring to help the Bayard movement. They ar- gue from the returns the impracticability of nominating Samuel J. Tilden, and say that the South in convention will be like- ly to be solid for Bayard againat Tilden. The conservatives also will endeaver to have some controling influence upon the action of the party at the coming session of Congress. At the last session the con- servative men really stepped to the rear and allowed the mouthing, blatent dema- gogues to take control of affairs, and to lead the party into its most conspicuous blunders. Conservative leaders here now say that all this is to be changed the com- ing session; that the Bourbons will be asked to take back seats, and- that the Conservative men, such as Bayard, La- mar, Gorden, Ransom and Hampton, will come to the front, and formulate the pol- icy of the party.—Philadelphia Times. ——-e-—_ - — Tue JAMAICA FLoops.— Kingston, Ja., Oct. 30.— The floods have subsided.

He proposes seri- ously that Congress shall this winter pro- vide for organizing, arming and discip- ling two hundred thousand of the arms- bearing people of the nation, distributing them among the States in the proportion of about seven hundred to each Congress- ional district, and each. Territory, and the District of Columbia. He asks also whether “State rights and prejudices” ought not to yield to the value of having such a force under ceutral coftrol. Finally; he proposes this scheme of get- ting the management of this force : / “When the exigencies of the regular service will permit, officers of the regular army shonld be allowed to accept com- missions iu the militia, without detriment to their regular commissions, upon the application of the Governors, and for such times as may be determined upon.” One advocate of this new movement es- timates the cost of organizing, arming, equiping, clothing, and drilling this host of the future at $20,000,000. General Benet asks instead a permanent annual appropriation of $5,000,000 for his plan ; and as he does not contemplate any re- duction in the regular army, this is to be a clean addition to the military budget. Well may Mr. O’Gorman start at the tre- mendous evginery of the centralization | | Parnring —Patatet black with gold striping and oth- thus proposed ; and well may taxpayers | start at what the new army would cost, as well as what it would come to. General Benet himself is the head of a bureau that distributes arms both to the militia, if it will take them, and to the army. Perhaps he would enjoy the nya guifying of his office under an arrange- ment requiring his bureau toe provide arms for two hundred thousand additien- al suldiers. He has certainly taken up the national militia movement with a zeal that must have surprised its origi- nal advocates. True militia reform is a long neglected duty of Congress. But the chief object of that reform is not to raise a force of two hundred thousand Federat troops, to be put at the beck of any occapinut of the Presidénat’s chair. The objeet, rather, is to take away the excuse hitherto alleged by neglectful States for calling in the regulat army to perform the duties which the political system of this country as founded by the fathers, imposed upon militia, In pursuit of this laudable purpose, Congress can do much. It can, to begin with, enlarge the annual militia appro- priations, which are now exactly what they were in 1809, although since then the country has greatly grown in wealth and popniation. The regular army has, since 1809, been more than trebled in size, and the annual military expenses have been swelled more than five-fold ; yet the militia appropriations are not larger by adollar. Thus Congress has helped by its faulty policy to bring about that deplorable innovation of relying on the-army for militia duties, which must now be checked. Starting at that point, Congress can probably arrange improvements in the clothing, equipments, armament, and camp equipages of the active militia; it can lend to it the use of Government ma- terial and the services of the regular of- ficers; it can stimulate rifle practice, with atleast one range established in every State; it can effect some unifor- mity in militin regulations; and with these results, local pride in militia excel- lence will also be stirred up. This, however, is a different matter from raising, arming and equipping twor hundred thousand Federal soldiers, in addition tothe twenty-seven thousand and more officers and men of the regular army, and the existing eighty ora hun- dred thousand State militia forees. What- ever Congress does for the militia it must net override the rights of the States, “nor break lodse from the theories of the past,” as General Benet advises. Least of all must it empower any President to raise a new tational army in the time of peace, under its power “to raise and support armies”—a provision of the Constitution directly following and really forming a part Of the preceding provision ‘‘to de- clare war.” Its only function in this matter is described in the same Art.

Such a thing is possible, but no more probable than on the 13th of any other November. The sensation was started by one ‘Prof.’ Tice, of St. Louis, an ‘astronomer’ who makes all bis observations through a bit of smoked window glass. He claims to have discovered Vulcan, a planet suppos- ed to exist within the orbit of Mercury, and to have accomplished the job aided ouly by snch an instrument as we have just named. This little meteoric produc- tion of his got into the newspapers by some means or other, going the rounds af- ter the manner of many other similar things ; and that is all there is of it.” | DARK RINGS AROUND THE EYES Indicate the existance of worms...

That's right! Roll along the ball, and let it keep noving. It must be admitted that Morgan town- ship is ratuer unfo. tunately circumstanc- ed, as regnrds the adoption of the law. If it were otlierwise, we have vo donbt her | people would gladly and eagerly adopt it, land goin with her sister townships. [t is ja well known fact, however, that within ; her borders, a great lack of water tacili- ties eXists, owing to the fact that the whole surface of her territory is) under- lnid by a substratum of very hard alate, rendering it very dillicult to procure wa- ter supplies, either by diggiug or boring. Therefore, whilst we would regret to see that good old township left out, still we would object to seeing them forced into it without their full consent, after mature deliberation. Franklin and Locke, on one side of Sal- isbury, have the law. Litaker, Providence and Gold Hill will have it very soon. All farmers between the corporation limits of Salisbury and Franklin will fence them- selves in with us; aud so, also, In Locke. In the country portion of Salisbury, they will build their fences on the cerpora- tion line, so as to fence themselves in by sections with Providence. This course is inevitable, since they must do so, in self- defense, and thus, the good old city of Salisbury, kke ancient Jerusalem within her walls, will by surrounded by a rail fence with a gate on every road leading into town. ‘This would indeed be a sad spectacle, and one which ought and can be avoided, if some influential, public- spirited citizen will exert his influence to obtain the vote of the colored people of the city to assist the country portion of the township to carry the law. Such an event is greatly to be desired, and he who gives his intluence to its accomplishment will be regarded as a public benefactor. On Manday, the 10th instant, Dr. Da- vis, of Mt.

Mr. Epiron—Ifaving seen communica- tions in the Wautekmen from various other sections, but seldom any from this, T have concluded, with your permission, to send’ vou an occasional item from old Scotch Trish. On the farm of Mr. John W. Steele, one of our most energetic and enterprising farm- ers, there was grown, this year, a pumpkin vine of prodigious dimensions. It grew in a rail-pen, running through the fence and covering an area of 56 feet in length, and 3 in breadth. The product of the vine was 19 pumpkins weighing in the aggreate, 529 pounds. It is worthy of note that one pumpkin grew in the crack of the pen, and grow ing to such a monstrous size, it absolut- ly prized up the pen, and making a slip-gap for iteelf, forced its way. out, This pump- kin weighed 50 pounds, , When even our pumpkin vines refuse to be pent up ina rail pen, we desire no better evidence that our people want more elbow room on their farms. ‘They want their stock enclosed in pastures, so that they may be able to take away all their outside fences, and clean up the old fence rows, and put them in cultitation, and thereby raise a large quanity of corn and wheat on lards now occupied by feuces, briars and thorns. We are to have an election on the “Stock Law,” for the whole township, on the 11th of December. It will be fur cheaper and bet- ter to go in as awhole township, but, if we fail in this, we will fall back on the section already carried, and in that event, the whole burden of the fence will fall onthe “Sec- tion.” Unity will surcly carry the law, and if we tail, we will be fenced around and out. We propose that a series of meetings be held, and public addresses delivered, so as to enlighten the people. This was the plan (as we are informed) that was pursued by Franklin, and it is claimed that it helped them to carry their election. Who will take hold of the matter and make the first moye ¢ W.W. F.

Mr. Epitor: In your paper of October 16th, appears a conmiunication of rather extraordinary character, over the signa- ture of “Joe Plowhandles, D. D.” For ouce, at least, we will condescend to no- tice ‘Joe.’ Phe abbreviation D. D. has a signification, and in the case of Joe it signifies ‘Doctor of Deviltry.” Joe is of frather recent advent into our community, but since his advent common fame accuses him of sundry *Deviltry” tricks. His communication contains some truth and some very slanderous falsehood. But de- mops sometimes testify to the truth, as in the case of Paul aud Silas (see Acts 16th chapt.) the demon said: These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation,” which was all very true; but when he said to our primitive nfother Eve: “Ye shall not surely die,” he uttered a barefuced fulse- hood, So with this Doctor of Deviltry. When, therefore, he represents the fami- lies of our.community as being ‘peacea- ‘ble, industrious, having a good house and double barn,” &e., he is very truthful. But one very important characteristic of our community he has omitted, and that is ‘our people generally mind their own business and let other people's alone.” But while this sage D. D. sets forth some truthful things, he also gives utterance to some barefaced falschoohs, which partake of the very essence of satanic malignity. lle represeuts our commuity as having no reliable physician nearer than Salisbury. What an impudent falsehood! We have physicians in pear proximity, (not of re- cent advent) who are conversant with the Materia Madica, who heave won for themselves merited celebrity for their medical sk#l. “In extreme cases” our physicians will hold consultation with their professional brethren “of known ability in the healing art,” and why do they dv it? Because their professional modesty and urbanity will vot allow them to cherish the blind and headstrong an- dacity to suppose that wisdom will die With them. — - / He represents the people of our commu- hity as practicing “all kinds of incanta- tions and satanic devices.” Satanic devices! This must be a species of deviltryism, and as Joe VPlowhandles, D. D.is skilled in the science of deviltryism, he is the very man to correct the practice “by the appli- cation of scientific principles.” Educationally, our community is not more cnlightened than it ought to be; nevertheless, since the davs of Joe Plow- handles, D. D., we have lad very good schools, both private aud public. Our teacher isa Christian gentleman, highly respected by the community, and by his | efliciency fully demonstrates his compe- | teney for the position he fills. That which | this D. D. gives as au illustration of our teacher's incompetency, is simply a bare midicious slander, as well asa most in- sulting and wicked reflection upon the in- telligence of our County Board of Exami- ners. But Joe is an adept in deviltry.— What differeuce does it make with this D. 1D. whether we have competent teachers or schoels at all, as he is too stingy to patronize a schoel of any kind. He has two children, 16 or 18 years old, who have not been inside of a school house since they have been large enough to hoe corn. What audacity on his part to be growling about edneation and classical schools. In relation to the “ministers of religion,” the people in our community are not more liberal in the payment of salary than they ought to be. Our ministers are modest and unassuming, have the respect and confidence of their parishioners, and usn- ally command good congregations in their public ministrations. Joe Plowhandles, D. D., is a good deal chameleon-like, changing~his collers oc- casionally. For his deviltryism he was forced to leave the Presbyterian chnrch, and for the same reason left the German Reform ehureh, and will, no doubt, for the same reason have to leave the Baptist church, The said Joo Plowhandles, D. D., was once a highly respected minister in our community. But of late, he is scorned as much as he was once respected. Hence his saying that “the citizens of Heilig’s Mill don’t treat ministers with that re- spect that is due them,” Mr. Editor, thisissevere. Perhaps you may think it too severe. But itis nothing more than Joe deserves, for he las been the instigator and perpetrator of all the incendiary deviltry that has been going on in our community for the last three or four years. Mr. Editor, this is our first and last in- fantry fire. We have ordered the Guil- ford and Rowan artillery to the front, and if this Doctor of Deviltry persists in his devilttyism, he will catch the shelling that he has been deserving for the last four or tive years.

The first any one knew of this dreadful affair the hurned woman waked up a neighbor calling for an axe. Her clothing had then burned off; and her condition being discovered, she was wrapped aud carried to her home, in a little back room of h bed, apparently asleep, bat‘all wretched mother had either stabbed, or cut the throat, of each one. The dread- ae. = 2 | fal work Seemed to havebeen done very quietly, as there were but slight signs of disorder, or of blood, except in the bed. She was evidently ecrazy—with jealously, it is thought—and took advautage of lier husband’s absence to cafry out the des- perate purpose over which it is belived she had been brooding, for sometime. It is indeed seldom so horrible.a case occurs inthe South, where there are so few cases of desperate wretchednes. The Observer of yesterday morning makes the following additional state- went: Tne letter of our correspondent, “Shoe Drummer,” received last evening, front Lancaster, S. C. and narrating the story of the murder of the Adams children by their mother, and her subscbquent sui- cide, had been anticipated. We thank him none the less, however, for his thoughtfulness. This correspondeut was at the house where the corpses lay, Sui- day, and his story coincides in all mate- rial points with that told in the Observer of yesterday. It is stated that the first in- timation that those in the house, after the death of Mrs. Adams, had that the children were dead also, was at an early hour Sunday morning when a lady went into the room to wake them up. They were neatly covered up in bed, no mark of bluod ou the face of any of the five. She raised the eover, when the awfal fact reverled itself to her, and she fell , to the fioor in a faint. The childven are spoken of as quite pretty, the eldest eleven Vears of age and the youngest two and a half. Our correspondent learns that Adams had not been providing properly for his family, avd that he had been drinking when he left home Saturday afternoon. He had, as already stated, been asked by his wife to go away for the night, she his cotton house and corn crib and put the keyes in his pocket and to return home Sunday evening. We have no in- telligence as to the verdict of the coro- her’s jury. ae -Tuk Hoop Orpnans.—The Baltimore Sun of the 7th says: Captain Frederick M. Colston, of Wilson, Colston & Co., bankers, of this city, who is the designa- ted agent of the managers of the Hood's orphan fund, yesterday received one thousand dollars towards promoting the objects the managers have in view; the support and education of these ten be- reaved children. Five hundred dollars of this money was contributed by Mr. A. S. Abell, and five hundred came from Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia. The latter geutleman, being on a visit to this city, states that he was actuated to send his check by the editorial iu the Sun on Wednesday, describing the touching and interesting group of these children ag pho- tographed at New Orleans, and copies of which have been forwarded to this city and placed for sale at a small price, asa meaus of adding to the fund.

In regard to ithe process to be used it is premature to | speak, but this much can safely be said, it will be the most approved now in use. Mr. Washburn has been testing the Hungarian | | | process in the *B” mill for some months past, and the conclusion has been reached that the exciusive Hungarian system has some disadvantages ‘connected with it. A portion of the wall are now up to the third story, and the entire building will be under roof by the 1st of December. When com- pleted, there will be nothing te compare with it inthe Uunited States as regards size and if their is anything across the wa- ter its equal, we should be very glad to hear from it. - _ + Turk Compressep Arr TorrEDO.—The cigar-shaped fish torpedo gets its motion from compressed air stored inside, and this issuing at the tail, sets in motion a serew which revolves with considerable velocity. A well constructed fish torpedo will ran many hundred yards at a veloci- ty of twenty miles an hour, and on strik- ing its head, which contains the charge, explodes with considerable violence. The torpedo is, therefore, a weapon of terrible elfeet. , — <a INTERESTING Youxe Men.—“The_inter- esting young man must be pale and thin, have long hair, bat no side whiskers, eat little in public, never smoke a pipe, be short sighted, have a big pain, be sour, talk about himself, be imprudent, be extreme in opin- ion, especially on theology and medieval- ism, be popular with women, not able to hoot or ride, hate wet feet, be disliked by men, and in toto, bea “double fool,”— And this comes not from stock that has habitually been tised for the draught or chase or race course. If the dam. trots and the sire trots we do not expect the off- spring to be a running horse. “The old Spartans understood this law | developing an aptness for a given calling in the childreu. The Germans of olden times developed a race of warriors on the same principle. “The law of heredity is so broad and so powerful in its influence that it extends not only to coler and fora of our race, | but in extends to the temperanent and | even to the tastes. The, taste, though | like the muscle and reasoning faguities, | may be improved by education. Still the | taste for and aptness for any calling may | be increased from generation to genera- | tion. “Then, if we are to reach the highest | development as race of farmers, we must expect it through the line of descent. The | son must inherit the fitness of the father, | and take up the calling and business where he left off, and his son after him, | and so on. When this shall become the the custom in our families, then shall we sce greater stability in society and a high- er type of civilization. Every parent-has the chief power to bring this work about. The very independence of a farmer's life is to be thé germ which develops a race that ean not be other than an indepen- | dent people. Our nation is to achieve its greatness in the devolpment of agrical- | ture. Its power at home and abroad is to be established and held through the arts | | | ! | fof husbandry, praticed by a skillful and virtuous race ‘of farmers. All then that jean be done by the state or family to en- noble and to diguify, the calling, and to entail its blessings and influence from | father to son, will add to the stability and grandeur of the nation.” ee CARPETING THE Misstssrppt at NEW Oreans.—In a recent issue the New Or-| leans 7imes states that nearly all the first appropriation for laying cane mats along the river front, in the second and third dis- tricts of Orleans Parish, has been expended in the work. | Another appropriation of $60,000 was made in April last, and the department had advertised for bids upon the work, return- able on the 20th of October.

For this purpose two great scaffolding have to be erected at a dizzy height; one of them how- ever, already approaches completion. When the caps have been finished then a still higher story will have to be’ added to the scaffolding, in order to fix on the tops of the caps the gigantic foliated crosses, almost thirty feet high, which are to crown the towers. This operation will, it is expected be performed next spring. ae SocTiHERN CrviLizaTion.—“Somehow civilization does not grow again in the Southern country.”—. ¥. Com. Ade.. Perhaps it might if you Northern peo- ple set a better example, but when judges are shot down like dogs, as in Wisconsin, and rape, arson, murder, robbery, em- bezzlement, fraud and other crimes are so frequent in the Northern States, the “Southerp country” has ap-hill work in its noble attempt to keep up the higher civilization of the Anglo-Saxon race. The “Southern country” is indeed keeping up her end of the civilization line very admir- ably, considering the quality of the con- tignous Northern example.— Courier Jour- nal, es The hardast thing in the world for a young lady to do is to look uncon- cerned the first time she comes out in a handsome engagement ring, Franklin Ties. time ina solution of sulphuric acid. the pulp is.as fiac and white as required, | pulp with water glass and bleach it with a upper district will be begun when the low- ! tinished paper to the acre of ground. tween the‘rollers of a “roller press,” which squeeze out the main portion of the sap and crush or loosen the fiber. When the grass has been passed through the roller press, it is next placed ina large tank of water, in which it is thoroughly washed by agitation or other suitable means, 80 as to move the dirt. The water of the tank may be either warm or clod, and the stand is constructed with a perforated ‘false bottom,” on which the crushed grass rests and through which the dirt fall into the compartment below, from which a pipe extends to allow the dirt and washed-water to escape. When the crushed grass is sufficiently washed it is boiled in an open kettle or in astcam kettle with lye, in proportions of about one tenth of a pound of caustic soda, or two tenths of a pound of caustic potash, or six tenths of The boiling continued when an open kettle is lime to one hundred pounds of grass. used for from four to five hours, but when a steam kettle is used, two hours will suffice. After the boiling operation is completed the material is removed from the kettle and put into a feltering trough, in which it is beaten and feltered trom one to two hours. After this it is washed until chean in clear water. The coarse pulp or felt thus produced is refined and bleached for the production of fine papers as follows: It is first placed in a cold solution of carbonate of soda for about fifteen minutes; next in a dilute solution of sulphuric acid for about the same time, and again in a solution of carbonate of soda. It is then placed ina solution of chloride of magnesia for about thirty minutes, and after this it is placed a third time in a solution of carbonete of soda; and, finally, a second These operaffons may be repeated more or less till after which it is finally washed in clear wa- ter. Another method is to felter the crude solution of chloride of lime or chloride of soda. Still another is to bleach the crude pulp in chlorine gas, then ina solution of chloride of soda, and finish with water glass, after which the pulp is washed with clear water. Papers produced from this green grass pulp are said to possess the qualities of great strength and length of fiber, tenaci- ty, softness, and flexibility. For tissue, drawing, writing and copying papers the material is said to be admirably adapted, as it provides a fine writing surface and supe- rior transparency cven without the use of any size. In its economical aspect, one square foot of ground gives, in the whole year, from 0.7 to 1.5 ofa pound of green grass, making from 30,492 to 65,340 pounds to the acre. One pound of green grass makes one fourth to one sixth of a pound dried, or 11, 979 pounds dried grass to an acre. Finally, one pound of dried grass gives about one third to one fourth of a pound of fine bleach- ed and finished paper, or 2,911 pounds of __ > ae—$§ _A New Aid for Cotton Growers. There is a little cotton mill in West- minster, Ga., which takes the cotton from the pod on the plantation whereit grows and converts it by a sisple and inexpan- sive process into yarn. By this’ trans- formation the cotton is increased in value from three cents to seventeen cents a pound, This is not the only advance, as the cotton if not made into yarn must be taxed for ginning, compressing, bagging, tying, weighing, storage, wharfage, and other transportation charges. The ad- vantage of the pew process is 80 apparent that tho’ cotton planters seriously pro- pose to establish just such mills among their plantations a8 a preparatory step to the establishment of cotton cloth man- ufactories, to compete with those of New England. ‘This method is certainly a great improvement over those that pre- vailed fifty years ago, before the railroad era. Then there was a mill of 400 spin- dles at Mill Springs, Ky. The planters of that day would haul their cotton from as far South as Huntsville, Ala., to the mill. After it was spun into yarn it was again hauled to Louisville and exchang- ed for goods, which were conveyed in wagons to the spot where the cotton av grew. eee The census of 1870 reports in Granville 162 manufacturing establish ments; 6 steam engines ; 53 water wheels ; 637 op- eratives; capital employed; $209,096 ; wages, $40,370; matenals, $292,470, and products, $467,204. ‘The census of 1880 will show an increase of over 100 per cent. in the manufactories of the county during the last ten years.

The Yellville, Ark., Salve tells us that Dr. Alvord, County Clerk Mas- terson and Mr. Leahy have just re- turned from a hunt on Saline Fork, Arkansas. The party had stationed themselves in the tree platforms about Yokum Blue Lick and were waiting for deer, which came there at dawn. The lick.is at the bottom of a stcep hill. Dr. Alvord snddenly noticed something like a hoop come rolling down the hill and across the wet lick. It was followed by three others, which rolled to where it had stopped. Mr. Leahy called out: ‘Hoop snakes! Watch them boys!’ The snakes played around for a few minutes, and then resuming their former positions, standing on edge with their tails in their mouths, deliberately began to roll up the hill. The gentlemen rub- bed their eyes and looked again. There they were rolling up hill just as fast, as quickly, and easily as they had rolled down. At first they part- ly agreed not to say anything about the matter, as they feared thier story would rot be believed. But Colonel Stark, at whose plantation they pass- ed the next night, explained to them that the hoop snake is able to thick- en itself.a little in front of its point of contact with the ground and to keep this part heavier than the bal- ance; hence as the center of gravity falls in front of its base, the snake can’t help revolving in any direction in which he keeps the “wad.” —_———— ~~ ——__——_ Poor Potts.

Wilmington Review, 5th. If you wish to see the true Republican platform for 1880 stated in afew words, you will find it given in the following from that uncompromising Republican paper, the Lemars (Iowa) Sentinel: If State lines interfere with national pro- gress, Cancel them; .

Greensboro Patriot: Dr. R. K. Gregory and I, F. Davis have put improvement that has been made in twenty-five years. The Wadesboro Herald says, a new dwelling house, the property of Col. W. G, Smith, near his mills at Gras- sy Island, on the Pee Dee river, was burned on the 3rd instant. Supposed to have been set on fire by an incen- diary. No insurance. The Wadesboro Herald announces the sudden death, on Thursday, the 6th inst., of Col. Wm. G. Smith, of Ansonville. He stood high among his people; had been honored with several official positions, and died in the 78th year of his age.

PortTLanD, Nov. 13.—It is report- ed to-day from Augusta that the State authorities have certificates prepared to send out giving seats to 17 Demo- cratic Senators and 85 Representatives, giving them a majority and a quorum in case the Republicans retire. Doubtless Horatio Seymour, Jr., feels lonesome. He is the only one of the candidates on the New York Dem- ocratic State ticket to whom the offi- cial returns give a majority, and he can express himself as Gov. Brogden did when he was elected to Congress from the second district of North Car- olino in 1876—the only Republican on the State or Congressional tickets who had a majority: “I am,” said he, “the only rose left on the bush to show where the garden has been.” ee The good that bolting does is well ex- emplified in the election at New York. Sobn Kelly’s vote is placed at 75,000 and Cornell beats Robinson about 40,000. Had the Democrats been united Lucius Robin - son would have been elected by 35,000 majority the New York Times does not see in these figures much for the Cornell ring men to rejoice at. It admits that the bolt was the salvation of its ticket. It says that the group of political managers who secured the nomination of Mr. Cornell and their other favorites, are boasting in “Cambyses vein” of the tremendous triumph which they have gained for the Republican party in New York. They seem to be utterly ignorant that the tri- umph, such as it is, was bot won by them but in spite of them and that without them there is every evidence that it would have been more decisive and more valuable. In what does the triumph eon- sist? In the election of Mr. Cornell, the peculiar pet of the managers, by a plural- ity which he owes entirely to a bolt in the Democratic ranks, whithout which bolt he would have been buried out of Sight under an adverse majority of at least 30,- 000.— Ral.

Where the river usually stretched, out re and rough, nothingh but bare white rock is to be seen, and the novelty of thing is so great that the peopleof Louisville throng the empty river bed seeing shells or pretty stones, or stm- ply to enjoy the unprecedented spto- tacle, and on one day lately it is esti- mated that 10,000 persons were ram- bling over the dry bottom of the opce mighty stream. on & INCREASE Ix VALUE OF County PRroPERr- ry.—The Raleigh Observer says that’ My.‘A_ J.

Choice, not chance, is oftenest the incentive to evil courses. Those who have always much to relate usually fill their audi- tors with little worth remember- ing. It is just as casy to help a man up as to trip him up, and yet human nature is so constituted that the latter is the rule and the former the exception. An act by which we make one friend and one enemy is a losing game, because revenge is a much stronger principle than grati- tude.— Better Thoughts. It is very dangerous for a man to find any spot on this broad globe that is sweeter on him than his home, Joining in the aumusements of others is, in our social state, the next thing to sympathy in their distress. A writer on style says: “It is the fashion in France for ladies to take tea in their bonnets and gloves.” One objection to this is that some of the bonnets do not hold much more than a lump of sugar. Do little things as ifthey were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ, who dwells in thee; and do great things as if they were little and easy, because of his omnipotence.— Pascal. At what age were you mar- ried ?” asked she, inquisitively. But the lady was equal to the emergency, and quietly respon- ded, “At the parson-age.”’ A church committee on the Cape wrote fara supply for their pulpit. They wanted a first-rate man for small pay, or, as they expressed it, “a salmon for the price of a herring.” There is more in the feed than §n the breed—the fowl that has been well fed and well cared for from toe shell to the slaughter- ing time, will make the best ta- ble meat ; if you want chickens that will be good eating after they are dead, see that they will eat well during their lives. Weeds that have gone to seed should be burned to destroy the seed. It is very poor policy to let weeds go to seed at all. Those that have not ripened now may be safely thrown into the pig pen, or be put away to decay and be made useful. A farmer attempted to cut in- to a premium pumykin at a fair at Council Grove, Kansas, to get a few of the seeds, but found it made of wood. It had taken many prizes at fairs for its weight, 230 pounds, and its cir- cumference, 7 feet. An English farmer’s boy was recently killed by a yery peculiar accident. He carried a loaded pistol in his trousers-pocket, and another boy threw a stone which struck the weapon and caused it to gooff, discharging the con- tents in the bowles of the youth who carried it, eee No Smoker NEED Appiy,~I was sitting in the office of a mer- chant not long since, when a lad about sixteen entered with cigar jn his mouth, He said to the gentleman :—~ “IT would like to get a situa- tion in your shop, to learn the trade, sir.” “JT might give you a place, but you carry avery bad recommen- dation in your mouth,” said the gentleman. “T didn't think it any harm san ee “enema a to smoke, sir; nearly everybody smokes now.” “T am sorry to say, my young friend, I-can’t employ you.

Polk and home of his living widow, now aged sev- enty-six. In the front yard, among young maple poplar and, fruit trees, is the President’s tomb, acanopy of cntabulature on four doric columns, with a limestonce centotaph below on which are inscriptions in painted black letters. The house is a rather oldish-looking pile of ir- regular brick, about one hundred feet in front, with a portico on one side of four wooden compo- site columns reaching to the roof. The second story of the portico is baleonied. A wooden pilaster toward the right, wheré the build- ing sinks down into domestic quarters, gives harmony to the center. The gate in front of the yard is decorated by an eagle on an hour glass. _~ ~>- —-——. THE OTHER OX. At the recent term of Mitchell Superior Court, a little negro boy was convicted of a criminal of- fence which, under strict judg- ment, would have sent him to the penitentiary for a term of years. Judge Schenck, in con- sideration of the culprit’s ex- treme youth, mercifully allowed him to be turned loose after a whipping, instead of sending him to the penitentiary to suffer a long period of imprisonment and to familiarize himself with vice For this action le in every form. of the court a howl was raised about its cars by the Bakersville Republican, the Asheville Jowr- nal and perhaps some other pa- pers of the same kidney. The restoration of the regime of the “barbarious whipping post” was referred to, and homilies were delivered upon the subject of cor- poreal punishment and the de- gradation thereby entailed upon the offender. The case hus a counterpart. In Cleaveland Court, last week, a white boy was convicted of a violent assault upon a girl. Judge Buxton, animated by the same spirit that had moved Judge Schenck, subjected the boy to the lash and made the whipping a full settlement of the claim which the law had upon the eriminal. Judge Schenck is a Democrat and Judge Buxton a Repudlican. Supposing the boy in each of these cases to have been so young as to have been a fit subject for the exercise of clemency on the part of the court, we endorse the action of both judges. But what have the papers named above to say as to the action of judge Buxton ? Have they the inde- pendence to denounce Judge Buxton as they did Judge Shenck or will they remain silent as to him, or condemn him with less severity than they did Judge Schenck, and by either of the latter courses acknowledge that in the first instance they were wreaking a little political spite and making, in a feeble way, a little political capital ? Now let the heathen rage against Buxton or take back what they have said against Schenck.—Char- lotte Observer. * Principles of Pruning. Barry, in his “First Garden,” rests the theory of pruning of fruit trees on six general principles: First—The vigor of a tree subject- ed to pruning, depends in a great ! measure on the equal distribution of sap in all its branches. To accom- plish this the following means are de- vised to be successively employed: (1). Prune the branches of the mast of the weak parts long. (2). Leave a large quantity of fruit on the strong part, aud remove the whole or great- er part of the feeble. (3). Bend the strong parts and keep the weak erect and the more erect the branches are, the greater will be the flow of sap to the growing parts. This remedy is especially applied .to espalier trees. (4). Remove the vigorous parts of the superfluous shoots, as early in the season as possible. (5). Pinch early the soft extremities of the shoots on the vigorous parts and as late as posi- ble on the feeble parts, except always any shoots which may be too vigors ous for their position. (6). Lay in the strong shoots on the trellis early, and leave: the feeble parte loose as long as possible in espalier trees. Second. The sap acts with greater force, and produces more vigorous growth on a branch or shoot pruned short than on one pruned long; hence the practice of pruning short where wood branches are desired, and long for fruit branches. Third. The sap tending always to the extremities of the shoots, causes the terminal bud to push with great- er vigor than the laterals. Fourth. The more the sap is ob- structed in its circultation, the more likely it will be to produce fruit buds. Fifth. The leaves serve to prepare the sap absorbed by the roots for the nourisment of the tree, and aid the formation on the shoots, All trees, therefore, deprived of their leaves, are liable to perish. Sixth. When the buds ofany shoot or branch do not develop before the age of two years, they can only be forced into the activity by close pru- ning, and in some cases, notably the peach, this even will often fail. er DO IT WELL. A job slighted, because it is apparently Whataver you do, do it well. unimportant, Jeads_ to habitual neg- lect, so that men degenerate, insensi- bly, into bad workmen. “That is a good rough job,” said a foreman in our heasing, recently, and he meant that it was a piece of work not elegant in itself, but strongly made and well put together. Training the hand and eye to work well leads individuals to form correct habits in other respects, and a good workman is, in most Cases,a good citizen. above his present situation who suf- fers small things to pass No one need hope to rise by unim- proved, or who neglects, metaphori- cally speaking, to pick up a cent be- cause it is not a dollar. Some of the wisest law-makers, the best statesmen, the most gifted artists, the most merciful judges, the ingen- inus mechanics, rose from the great mass. A rival of a certain lawyer sought to humiliate him publicly by saying: “You blacked my father’s boots once.” “Yes,” replied the lawyer, unabashed “and I did it well.” And because of his habit of doing even mean things well, he rose to greater. Take heart, all who toil ! all youths in humble situations, all in adverse circumstances, and those who labor unappreciated. If it be Lut to drive the plow, strive to do it well; if be to wax thread, wax it well; if it only to cut bolts, make good ones ; or blow the bellows, keep the iron hot. It is attention to business that lifts the feet higher up on the lad- der. “Says the good Book : “Seest thou a man diligent in his shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before men.—Scientific American. business, he mean —— Over fifty patents have been ob- tained, for cow-milkers, thirteen in England and forty in America. These machines have been divided into three classes. First, tube-milkers ; second, sucking machines ; third, me- chanical hand-milkers. The first are lappers, the second suckers, and the third squeezers and striupers. Some devices are formed of combinations of these classes. As yet no one machine can be considered a success, as, not- withstanding the apparent success in single milkings, the constant usc seems to forward a tendency towards drying of the cow, while some in- jure the cow. vigorous parts very short, and_ those. .| Geology, Astronomy. ee ete ana aces ng A Gréat Tonic. 4 IRON BITTERS, A Sure Appetizer. {RON BITT ERS ‘I strengthens the mus- ’ chen apd gives i life to the nerves. ‘°o ee een eee aged, ladies. and chile _—_—_— ren requiring recuper- | 0 BITTER ation, this OS rateable Sle nceeese ‘A Valuable Medicine. | sf neta like a : on the digestive organs.

It is “the double cave,” or Machpelah, the oldest known burial place Here the three patriarchs and their wives (except Rachel, who is baried bencath a little white mosque near Bethlehem) sleep. Joseph’s body, too, is said to have been removed thither from Shechem, near Jacob’s well, where his tomb is still shown. There never has been any doubt about the identity of the Such caves are as everlasting as The sto- tonching. spot. the hills to which they belong. ry of Machpelah is singularly With what solemnity and carefulness did father Abraham acquire this his only property in?the Holy Land from his heath- en friend Ephron, and make it sure for- ever by that first legal contract recorded in history. (Gen. xxiii:3-20.) 9 The scene comes back to us in all its cir- cuwstantial details, as Dr. Thomson snows go graphically from his own experience of bargaining amoug the Orientals of the present day. Low simple and impres- sive is the record of the successive inter- ments of the patriarchal fainilies, aud the barial of enmities between brothers over the graves of their fathers: first) Sarah was buried, (Gen. xxiii: 19), then Abraham by Isaac and Isbmael (xxv :9, 10), then Isaac by his sous Esau and Ja- cob (xxxV 27-29); and last we read the dying request of Jacob in Egypt: “And he charged them and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the ficld of Ephron the Hittitie for a pos- session ofa buried place. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isiac and Rebekah his wife ; aud there I buricd Leah,” xlix :29-31. Frow.the time of its permanent Massel- nian occupation in 1137 to 1862, the “mosque was most jealously closed to all bot Mohammedans, and the Machpelah is closed still, Previous to that year we had but three brief and eontused accounts of stealthy visits, especially by a Span- ish reticgade, Ali Bey.

' Dean Stanley, who, together, with the Prussian Cousul, Dr. Rosen, a learned ‘ archeologist, accompanied the Prince of ‘Wales, has given us a very interesting ac- couut of this visit.

The Supreme Court : Declaring Them to be Invalid and Unconstitutional. Wasnineton, Nov. 17.—The Supreme Court to-day decided the case of the United States against Emil Steffens and Adolph Witteman of New York, and W. W. John- son, et al, of Cincinnati which are prosecu- tions for violations of what are known as the trade mark laws. The cases came be- fore the Supreme Court on certificates of division from the Circuit Courts of the Uni- ted States for the Southern District of New York and the Southern District of Ohio.— The question upon which the judges of the lower courts were divided in opinion, is, “whether the acts of Congress on the sub- ject of trade marks are founded on any rightful authority in the constitution of the United States.” It was maintained by counsel, who sought an affirmative answer to this question, that there are two clauses of the Federal consti- tution which furnish a sufficient warrant for the legislation in dispute. The first is the cighth clause of section 8, article 1, which provides that Congress shall have power to pass laws “to promote the progress of sci- ence and the useful arts by securing for lim- ited times to authors and inventors the ex- clusive right to their writings and discover- ies.’ With regard to this point, the court holds that the ordinary trade mark has no necessary relation to invention or discovery. The court is, therefore, of the opinion that such legislation is not authorized by the constitutional provision concerning authors and inventors and their writings and dis- coveries. The other clause of the constitution relied the same section, which provides that Con- grésg shall have power “to regulate com- merce with forcign nations and among the scveral States and with the Indian tribes.” With regard to this the court says that this legislation contemplates the’ establishment of a universal system of trade-mark registra- tion for the benefit of all who have already used a trade mark, or who wish to adopt one inthe future, without regard to the character of the trade to which it is to be applied, or locality of the owner. Such legis- lation is, in the opinion of this coart, in cx- cess of congressional power. The court, wishes, however, to be understood as teav- ing the whole question ofthe treaty-making power of the generat yovernment over trade marks and the duty of Congress ‘to pass any laws necessary to carry such treaties into! effect, untouched. The question in each of. these cases, viz: whether these statutes can be upheld in whole or in part ss constitu- tional, must be ‘answered in the negative, and it will be se certified to the Circuit Courts. Under the provisions of the laws which have thus been declared uaconstitutional about 8,000 trade marks have been register- ed at the patent office, and about 200 appli- cations for registry are now pending. i Home From Liberia.

EX-SENATOR CLINGMAN ON TIE PAIGN OF 1880. A New National Party Wanted —A ny Can- didate Welcome to the South Who Guarantees Good Government. CAM- Nork Herald, 22d. Having ascertained that ex-United States Senator Thomas L. Clingman, of North Carolina, was temporarily stopping at the New York Hotel, a Herald reporter called upon him there yesterday. About sixty-seven years old, of tall, spare fig- ure, erect as an Indian chief, having hair and beard of iron gray, which intensities his somewhat weather-beaten appearance, the ex-Senator, dr, aa he is better known at hame, General Clingman, may be re- garded as a venerable connecting link be- tween the present and that era of the past when tho utterances of Southeren states- men were all potent in the councils of the nation. Thirty-six years ago General Clingman was elected from the Pine Tree State to the House of Representatives, Where he continued to sit for fourteen years, each time being re-elected as an independent candidate. In the spring of 1858 he was first appointed United States Senator by the Governor of North Caro- lina, and was subsequent! y elected twice to the Upper House of Congress by the Legislature of that State. About the time the.war commenced be had entered npon his second term as United States Sena- tor, but in the early days of the struggle he offered his sword and services to his native State. He had four years of steady ‘service in the Confederate army, the last three of which were passed as a general officer, and with his brigade he partiei- pated in some hard tighting, receivin gat various times six wounds, some of which he still.euffers from. He has nut been a candidate for any political office since the war closed. | GENERAL CLINGMAN ON PARTIES. ~ Haviug been asked by the reporter in the cdurse of conversation what he thonytit Of the result of the recent elec- tions, and also as to how the Grant move- ment was progressing among the Sonth- ern pespic, General Clingman replied as “Ihave not been disappointed follows: the elections this year. On the ‘at all in and have repeated it from time to time, that the Republicans would carry the: elections in the Northern States this year. “After the commencement of the pmic he. Democrats could have beaten the Re- publicans as the Whigs did Mr. Van Baren in 1840 on the hard times issue. They neglected to do this, however, and as they failed to make any earnest or united effort to relieve the country from ite distress the people have been disgus- ted. with them aud have inclined to leave them. The Democrats have also, during the-past year, been playing into tlie hands of their oppovents. The. Republicans, seeing that they had lust the confidence of the countryby their bad civil govern- went, sought to recover their ground by reviving the animosities of the war. ‘Tho peeplé at the North connect the war iu théir «minds with the question of State Fightsi' A horse that ‘has been badly frigh- tened atany glace, when he comes back to ¢ will be:startled’ with the flutter of ‘a bid: <oThe!

GRANT. ‘What is your impression of the Grant mevement in the South?” “There are two causes for it. First, a general discontent and a desire fora change have something to do with it; second, people iu the South generally be- lieve that Grant would be more liberal as a President than such men as Blaine, Sherman or Conkling, who, to strengthen themselves in the North, are constantly repeating malignant calumnies against the Southern people. Both parties in the South complain of the manver in which they are treated by their associates in the North. Though a majority of the Southern States voted for Grant in both his elections, yet the Southern Republi- cans complain that they were ignored and snubbed by their associates iu the North. In fact, Northern men are sent into North Caroliua new to fill many of the best local offiees, though the natives are very anxious to occupy them. The Southern Democrats have similar grounds for complaint. The course of the Repub- lican party in North Carolina has made the Democratic party also sectional in its action. Though Tilden expected to get a majority of his votes in the South, yet to sustain himself in the North he deemed it necessary fo write a letter especially against Southerv claims. Any other candidate wonld have said in former times that he would oppose unjust claims and pay honest ones. Bat South- ern claims Were to be rejected without re- ference to justice. A prominent Northern Democratic member of Congress told me that he would have been beaten in ‘his district if Tilden had not written that letter. Again, Northern Democratic mem- bers said that if Southern men got subor- dinate places in the capitol at Washing- ton they could not stand it-at home. The case of the Sonthern Democracy _is like that of a man who is asked to enter part- nership and contributed his full share of money, but is told that he must not enter the parlor or dining room, but eat in the kitchen and sleep in the cellar. Though very few Southern men are really oftice- seekers, yet they feel humiliated by act- ing with parties that are ashamed of their association. A NEW PARTY PROPOSED., “Tam satisfied,” continued the General, “that a large majority of the people of the South would be willing to enter inte a fair and liberal new national organiza- tion. At present we are in slack water ; but there will be a movement of the waters ere long, and tho current will probably prove a strong one. There is, however, in the minds of men at present au indisposition to commit themselves to any particalar candidate. They think {hat mau was a wise one who determined: not to cross the bridge until he got to it. I mean to say, however, that a majority are ready for something new, and that they will look anxiously to the develop- ment of the next six mouths. In this con- nection I may bave semethimg important to. coummunicate to the Herald at an early day.” oe “Do you think that a majority of the Southern people would accept General Grant as a candidate ?” “While the Southen. people are not, I think, settled as to apy particular candi- date—as their paramount desire is to get good government, peace and quiet for the whole country —they will be prepared to support such candidates as may seem most likely to promote that end. What is most desirable is that we have nation- al parties that may be maintained in all the States. When thirty-six years ago L was first a member of Congress my speeches were as well received in the Whig States of Vermont.and Massachu- setts as they were in my own. district. Oue day when dining with Senator Davis (known as ‘Honest John’), of Massachu- setts, he said to me: ‘1 cannot. satisfy my people with that speech of yours. I have already sent home ‘seven thousand eopies, and they are writing for more.’ I woald like to see a simitar state of things as when there was no scctionalism in our polities.” a “What tru(his there in the reports that the elections are carried ow unfairly ju the South -“Pthink there is little if any ‘ground | for' general complaint on that® score, Dy Jin favor of granting the marshals’ appropri- mation derived from Democratic Congress- men by the Star. So far as we have heard the members express themselves, that they are ations without objection or delay. This is particularly true of Southecn members, who say that the late elections have demonstra- ted that the Northern people are in favor of maintaining the federal clection laws; that these laws are almost inoperative at the South, and therefore the members from that section have no interest in their repeal, It may turn out that a few stalwart Democrats of the “never surrender” sort, will have in- fluence enough to lead their party into re- fusing the appropriation because “it would look like a back down;” but it is evident that the prevailing sentiment is in favor of backing down rather than engage in another bitter partisan discussion, and the passing of bills that would probably be yetoed.— There are Southern Democrats who aftirm most positively that they will not again be dragged or driven into such a position, The army appropriation bill will, no doubt, con- tain the same provision in regard to troops at the polls that was finally approved by the President at the extra session. There are Democrats whe will advise that separate bills for the repeal of the election laws and prohibiting any appearance of the military near the polls be passed and sent to the President, and this may be agreed to by the party; but it is doubtful if even this much can be dong in the way of reviving the fight of the extra session, so strong is the deterin- ination of some Democrats to avoid anything of the kind. Something will be attempted inthe way of tariff revision, though just what the measure will be or how far it will be pushed cannot be foretold. The Demo- crats will be very cautious about venturing upon financial legislation, though some of the extremists will no doubt attempt to bring up measures fur the retirement. of na- tional bank notes and the free coinage of silver, It is useless to attempt to predict what action will be taken with regard to financial legislation. The effect of the fall elections has been to make hard-money Democrats bold in declaring their principles, and these combined with Republicans, may enact such legislation as the Domocratic majority within itself would not agree to. There is 2 very general disposition to make the session short, and not a few members predict that the final adjournment will take place early in May.— Wilmington Star. ———~-+_____ How Cornell was Scratched. AT LEAST 20,000 REPUBLICANS REJECTING HIM—AS TO THE “STRONG MAN.” New York Sun, 22d. The Independent Republican committee have published an address to the Inde- pendent Republicans of the State, in which they say : “The Republican candidate for Govern- or of New York has been elected by near- ly 40,000 plurality, thanks to about 75,- 000 votes tor the Tammany eandidate. Without thathelp, Mr. Cornell would have been defeated by above 30,000 votes. He has run behind the ticket 3,820 in New York city, 2,833 in Brooklyn, and corres- vondingly in uearly every part of the tate. Mr. Secretary Sherman estimates those who “seratched” Mr. Cornell at 30,- 000; but since many headed Mr. Secreta- ry Evart’s appeal not to “votein the air,” and voted fur the less objectionable of the L opposing candidates, this may bean over- estimate, It is probable that at least 20,000 Repulicans rejected Mr. Cornell, some such votes being offset and obscured by Tammany and canal votea. The standard bearer of the machine is behind the one{unquestioned man ou the ticket, Mr. Wadsworth, who makes the best test of party strength, more thav 35,000: in ma- jorities—a suthicient rebuke to the meth- ods and author of Mr. Cornell’s nomina- tion. -Mr. Soule, in more than 9,000 mi- nority, is baried under the anti-corruption vote. The rest of the Sta‘e ticket appears to be elected by a close vote, vaied by un- organized scratching of other distasteful names. Mr. Conkling is responsible for thus endangering the loss of “the pivotal State,” anil most of the uominees have not been defeated only because the appeal “not to bolt, but to scratch,” brought to the polls and kept loyal to the party many disgusted Republicans disheartened by his sham Repnbiicanisn.. True leader ship and good candidates would have as- sured the complete sucecss won with the old enthnsiasm in other States. “Finally, the balance of power in the State, which will give the casting vote in 1830, resides, it is proved, with the inde- pendent voters; and the “strong man” needled to carry New York is a candidate who will attract and not repel Reyinbli- cans of conscience, intelligence and: mem- Lexington, N property in Lexington on the 3d day of Dee.

The Pacific States report about the saine yield as last year. ' COTTON. There was a decided increase in the condition of cotton during the month of October. Uufavorable weather was re- ported in Georgia and Alabama. In all other States it was favorable. The re- turns indicate a yield per acre of 176 pounds lint, against 191 last year. This yicld estimating the area of planting at 2 per cent more than last year would make a deficit in this year’s crop of 290,000 bales of 450 pounds each. All the South At- lantic States show the same decline. Tex- as falls off 35 per cent. All the States bordering ou the Mississippi, show decid- ded gains. This reminds us that we were somewhat disappointed in the election concerning the “Stock Law” on the 7th of August, but we are at it again with a vim that will not per- mit usto look at it through a smoked glass, We were surprised on a recent visit to Rowan Mills, to see so much trading going on at that place.

Returns of November Ist to this de- partment show an increase in the wheat crop of 26 million bushels over that of last year. This great increase is the result of a very large yield in the States bordering onthe Ohio river and Missouri. The Northwestern States show little variation from Jast year. Kansas and California both decline in yicld.

Rex Ovr or Ciucago Wueee we HAD Gone TO JoIN IN THE WELCOME Tu His BrotHer oe Special to the New York sun. Chicago, Nov. 19.--A few days befure the arrival of Gen. Grant in this city, his brother Orvil appeared, and announced his intention of joining in the welcome te be extended to his distinuished relative. Years of trouble had wrought so many changes in Orvil that few of his eld friends here, where he had ouce been in business, recuguized him. His clothing was shabby, and his hair and beard, the chief points of his resemblance to the gen- eral, were long and bushy. He passed Monday and Tuesday of last week at va- rious hotels, attracting no attention, except by his uncouth appearance. A few army officers, who saw in this seedy individual the brother of the coming guest took it upon themselves to run him out of town, believing that the General should not be embarrassed by his presence during the coming festivities. By dintef persusion, a liberal supply of liquor, aud some force, the great man’s brother was ptf on a train bound for St. Louis, and is now’ in that city. When Gen. Grant arrived he learned that Orvil had been here, and ex- pressed regret that he had not seen him, little thinking that those busily engaged in paying court to him had deprived him of that pleasure. He returned to ialena to-day ignorant of the true state of affairs, but the story leaked out this af- ternoon, and, of course, reach him in dune time. ———~-s>>o—_ The Grant Movement in Georgia. The Augusta Chronicle, which is good au- thority on political subjects in Georgia, thus disposes of the Grant inovement in that State: But the Gcorgia foliowing which Mr. Grady gives to his Grant movement is as remarkable as the reasons assicned for the third term boom. Col, R. A. Crawford, of Atlanta, is first on the list. Who he is we have been unable to ascertain. The press of the State seems to be equally as ignorant of his position and antecedents. Col. Luther J. Glenn, also of Atlanta, comes next. He was the Democratic nominee for Congress in 1872, was defeated through the apathy of his political friends, and if he has since tak- en any part in State or national politics we are not aware ofthe fact. Col. George T. Fry, also of Atlanta, isthe third Grant man. His sole cluim to distinction is that he was once a menber of the Georgia Legislature, and when his term expired was promptly remanded to private life. The fourth and last Grantite mentioned by Mr. Grady is Judye O. A. Lochrane. Judge Lochrane is |a fine lawyer, an eloquent advocate, and an accomplished rhetorician. Personally he is one of the most charming and amiable of men. Politically, he has been a Grant Re- publican ever since he was defeated for Con- gress, running on the Democratic ticket, in 1868, and it is not at all strange that he should now champion the cause of his fa- vorite. And of such is the Grant movement in Georgia. Decidedly there is no cause for alarin. coment - oe Tue Grant Empire.—I know that he is ambitious and earnestly desires a third term. Who of the ordinary run of men would not wish to be honored more than ‘Washington was? Grant is not a second’ Washington. He has none of the fine sensibilities that dis- tinguished the Father of this country. He is a coarser composition and cast in a differ- ent mould from Washington's. Then again, céuntry, of uniting South and North in a grand imperial march to material greatness, has thoroughly taken possession of Grant's mind. His thoughts are continually of em- pire. The sum total of his observations in his journey around the world isthis: Eng- land is great, so are France and Germany; but how much greater than all combined might the United States become if they were really a nation, with a soldier like him- selfto shape their destinies? Wipe oat, practically, State lines, inaugurate an era of conciliation by uniting the South and North in a glorious scheme of empire, which would swallow up the whole continent, absorb the region tothe northward and all that lies south of us, and what glory would soon be ours ?—Washington Letter tothe New York Snn. >_> Nov. 22.—The sfeamboat J.

Sheep and voting ‘cattle are benefited by change, but older cattle seem to become restless and unsteady by changing, and never thrive so kindly. Treated in this way, with an oceasional dressing of plaster and bone, pasture lands will improve with age, and prove the most valua- ble part of the farm. The corn erop should be carefully cultivated, and the ground kept clean and loose. For this purpose I prefer the double shovel and cultivator for several reasons, and especially so be- cause the ground will be left level and in good condition for seeding in smal] grain. Some farmers prescribe a cer- tain number of plowings fur corn, and go over it at intervals until it has had its regular quota of work, and then, without reference to its condition or stage of growth, Jay it by. My own practice has been to plow or cul- tivate often enough to keep the spr- face loose and open. I make it a point to go through and break the erust after every hard beating rain.— Corn may be caltivated to an advan- tage until it begins to tassel. When the corn is well ripened, say about the middle of September to the Ist of October, it should be cut down and stacked in the field, or hauled to the barn or some point convenient thereto, and set up carefully. Thisis a good deal of trouble, but I believe it pays, as it leaves the field clear for plowing and sowing wheat, whieh is the next crop in the rotation. Tf, however, it is determined to shock it in the field, the best way is to cut eight rows, laying four on each side, so that a bed twelve feet wide can be plowed ; then cut four more rows on each side, making sixteen in all, and set the shocks up on the bed already plowed ; continue this through the en- tire field, and then plow the space be- tween the beds, and all the land can then be nicely seeded, excepting only that. upon which the shocks stand. Wheat should be sown in October, and the whole surface nicely harrowed, and unless very fine it will be benefit- ted by rolling. After the wheat is removed a part of the land may be plowed and sown in white turnips, receiving all the manure that has accumulated since the spring, cleaning up for corn and ruta bagas. If feed is scarce some may also be sown in corn, drilled in thickly for fodder. If no crops are sown, and whether they are or not, the whole surface should be nicely plowed in the fall, and then lightly again in March, and then sown in I prefer heavy sceding, say two and a half bushels of oats and one and oats. a half of wheat per acre, broadcast, and two bushels of oats and five pecks of wheat when drilled. Clover should be sown with oats, and a dressing of one hundred pounds per acre of plas- ter applied iu two or three weeks, and the same amount again immediately after harvest.— Planter and Farmer. en ae are Grass is King. America is surely a blessed land. Without counting any of the multi- tude of other causes for which she has to be thankful, we can find in one single gift of nature sufficient cause for rejoicing. An exchange says: In its direct money value, and in its collateral and indirect benefits, grass is worth more to the world than all the cereal crops combined. Its direct is nothing in comparison to its indi- rect value in the influence it has in preserving the fertility of our farms by. its manurial wealth in all forms, No man can thrive ona farm—no farm can be self-supporting where grass is wholly neglected, or advan- tage is not taken ofstock raised on the grass-farms,” The old Belgian proverb is trné—“*No grass, no cattle; no manure, uo crops.’ It is supposed by many that only such soil as is not fit for cultivation in the cereals or roots should be devoted to grass. This is a mistake. We can afford to take our best soils for the production of this crop, and this is the real plan for bringing them up to the highest point of fertility. ; In grass the whole West finds its best friend. Without the rich and abundant grasses of the plains, the hundreds of thousands of cattle upon Which so many people depend fora living, and which go to feed so many thousands of people in this and other countries would have never had exis- tence. The Nay crop alone issaid to sur- pass in money value any other single ¢rop in the theland, and value of the live stock whieh depends upon hay and me fed green | grass for food is’ very nearly “ettinl to ‘be needed, —— a i the value of the cereale. And yet the rass of this chbuntry is byno means used'to Best advantége;and° ‘nvilfions of acres Of land with might easily be made good pasture or rich meadow are.suffered to lie in,a, state of nature, covered with a scamt: growth of wild gtasses of comparatively little value, or with brambles and weeds, or with ‘a washy growth’ of sour ‘swamp grass, Even. where the grass is good the owners fail to make, good use of it, but by want of thought suffer much of the best crop of their lind to be wasted. Gass requires little labor, and can be made to pay liberally.— Ez. : Oe ae In fattening beef, let the process be as quick as possible.

He characterized the best ef- forts of the society as those which had for their object the education of people to be humane to animals, and said he made it a rule never to subscribe to a school in the diocese which did not teach humanity to animals. He strongly advocated the organization, in every town and_ parish, of bands of children to stem the sad existing torrent of cruelty to animals, which he belieyed would do more than any- thing else to better the condition of dumb creatures, and elevate and im- prove the moral tone of ‘society. He was certain that the utmost advantage would accrue from the education of children from their earliest days, even in their mothers arms, to wuderstand, respect, and Jove dumb animals, and to look upon them as creatures of God given for their blessing, and for whose kindly treatment they were re- spousible—Jlerald of Peace, Lon- don. KEEPING HorsE MANuRE.—Horse | manure that is free from litter needs | the most careful management to pre- vent dry rot, or what is known as fire- This is occasioned by the fanging. evaporation of the moisture by the heat of the fermentation. The drying up of the water carries off all the am- monia that has been formed, and has been dissolved by it. quence is that burned, or fire-fanged, manure is nearly worthless. ‘To pre- vent this injury it is necc sary to pile The conse- the manure in flat heaps, out-of-doors, where it can receive the rain or be watered when necessary, and to tram- ple or pack it down ver& tightly ; it should then be turned over occasion- ally and repacked again as solidly as possible. When managed in this way the manure is kept in the best condi- tion and retains all its yaluable qual- ities. — Rural New Yorker. eee i eee Above His Business, “T wouldn’t do that,” said one clerk to another, whom he saw doing a dis agreeable piece of work. “Tt must be done, and why shouldn’t I do it?” was the excellent reply. Tn a few minutes the wouldn’t-do- clerk, ashamed of his remark, was assisting the clerk who was not above his business. In Seotland there is a branch of the legal profession known as “Wri- ters to the Signet.” A young gen- tleman was apprenticed to one of these writers. The youth thought Himself a very fine sort of person, much above ordinary apprentices. One evening the master desired him to carry a bundle of papers toa lawyer whose residence was not very far off. The packet was received in silence, and in a few minutes the mas- ter saw a porter run into the outer office. eIn afew minutes the youth walked out, followed by the porter carrying the parcels. Seizing his hat the master followed, and overtook the porter, relieved him of the packet, and walked inthe rear of the apprentice. The lawyer’s house being reached and the door bell rung, the youth, called out ; “Here, fellow, give. me , that par- cel?” and slipped a sixpence. in, his hand without looking around, , “Here it is for you!” exclaimed a voice which caused the youth. to turn around, His confusion, as he beheld his-master, made him _ speechless.

Of course, the dan- ger is that a person, who knows only a little of a subject, may fancy himeelf well qualified to give an opinion on points that are really out of his depth; but as Jong asa person feels and knows that his knowledge of a sub- nds only so far, and does not venture beyond his depth, that per- son has everything to gain and no- thing to loose by getting some know!l- ele of it, even though the knowledge may be limited.—Hon.

A Soft Place for Grant. The Nicaragua Inter-Oceanic Canal Scheme. Special Dispatch to the Baltimre Sun. Wasutneton, Nov. 26.—Senor Tomas de Franco, agent of certain French capitalists in connection with the inter- oceanic canal scheme, arrived in Washington last evening, and to-day, in company with Admiral Am- men and Mr, Menocal, his aesisstant, paid his respects to the President, to Secretary Evarts and Secretary Thompson. The Pres- ident, expressed & Very warm interest in the enterprise, and said that he hoped to see it well under way before he retired from office. He conversed very freely for half an hour with Senor de Franco, and tendered Evarts, who has the official charge of the matter, as far as the United States is con- cerned, although the enterprise is purely a private one. Senor de Franco spoke at length of his purposes in coming to this country, and ofthe plans he hasin mind. Mr. Evarts, are least inclined to treat the matter asa silly or cruel joke, and the state , Gen. mind—now that | a weakening i discus- Grant’s s mooted—is tic admirers, with a gravity that indi- cates a feeling of serious apprehension. VAt the hotels, and at the clubs and /public resorts generally, Gen. Grant’s mental condition has, during the past two days, been a frequent topic of con- . : : | versation and discussion. Perhaps no one in Chicago would have entertain- ,edathonght of trouble but for the paragraph froma San Francisco paper. i That bas set people to analysing the impression the General made apon j them in coming mnitorcontacr avith him, leadership of any other man, it was the fact and what was only regarded as odd or “his way” before, now presents it- self to them in au altogether different light, and with a new meaning.—Chi- cago Tanes. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Times thinks that Congress will pass the bill making Gen. Grant Captain General. He seems to doubt whether he would pre- | fer that to take his chances for anoth- er term as President. Hesays Grant certainly wants to be President again, and still he would like to have the “proposed recognition by Congress. As ‘tu the Presidential plan he says : “No, Grant is piping for the place.

He invited Senor de Franco to dine with him and meet the prominent members of the foreign lega- tions in Washington, Senor de I’ranco, who speaks English readily, assured your correspondent of his confidence of success in the scheme he has undertaken in cyming to America, which is two-fold—first, to secure the organization of &@ company under the laws of the United States to build» canal across Nicargua, and ; second, to secure the services of Gen, Grant as president and manager of that company. In the opinion of the French capitalists, who were expected to furnish the great part of the capital for this work, there was no man , in the world so well fitted to take the lead- ership as he, and while it would be absurd to say it could not be a success under the ‘that Grant’s name would give the acheme , more dignity and importance than it could otherwise receive. Commenting upon the magnificent reception Grant received upon his return to his native State, Senor de Franco remarked that there was no nation inthe world, not excepting the United | States, where Grant was more admired than in France. France had bad her own soldi- “ers and statesmen, he said, and knew how to | measure greatness. | Referring to Grant's connection with the canal, he expressed a very decided opinion ‘that he would accept the management of the enterprise. When asked if he had any direct knowledge upon which this opinion ‘was based, he shrugged his shoulders and said that his friend, Admiral Ammen, was the custodian of all his secrets, and referred the enquirer to him, adding, significantly, that the inducements to be offered to Gen- eral Grant were such as few men would re- unless he had higher aspirations.

Waywesporo, ‘Pa, November 26.—A , panic occurred in the Lutheran church at better means of knowing the facts of this place Tast night, which resulted in seri- | | ous injuries to a number of persons, Night- ;ly since Thursday last public discussions j have taken place in the church between _ Rev. P. Bergstresser, a Lutheran clergy Tunker Baptists, from Ashland, Ohia, the chief topi¢ being whether immersion or sprinkling was the true scriptural form, of baptism. The discussion caused much ex: citement in the neighborhood, and the charch on each occasion was crowded with the friends of the disputants. Good order | generally prevailed, although on Saturday night, after Elder Bashore had made a re- mark asto the position of the Luthcran Church on the question of infant baptism, a woman in the Congregation called out, “That is not true,” which provoked u threat ~~ in charge of the meeting that such Materruptions would not be allowed, Long before the hour appointed for the discussion to commence last night there was not standing-room in the church, which is a brick building, having a scating capacity of abouts six hundred, and was filled with and the galleries were densely packed, while scores of people outside strugyled to gain admittance. Shortly before 7 o'clock a bench in the church broke, making a crack- ling noise, and at once some one in the con- gregation called out “The building is fal- ling.” A scene of the wildest excitement followed, the screams of women and chil- dren mingling with the shouts and exclama- tions of men. A general rush was made for the doorways, which were soon blocked up by the frightened crowd, and, to add to the terror, the railings in the front gallery gave Way, precipitating the occupants on the heads of those below. Finding that egress by the doors was cut off, the windows at the back of the gallerics were burst open, and men and women jumped to the ground, a distance of twenty-fect. The trampling of the crowd on the floors raised acrowd of dust through which the lighted lamps could only be seen dimly, and another cry, “The building is on fire,” caused all to redouble their efforts to escape, although the mass of people had by this time become so tightly wedged together that movement became al- most impossible. The ministers present en- deavored to allay the panic by calling out, “For God’s sake kcep quite, there is nothing wrong,” but their voices could not be seemed to have lost all self-control and joined in the mad rush from fancied dan- ger; women were either trumpled upon or fell fainting from terror, and children were unthought of in thefgeneral inelee. Not until the building had almost been emptied, and the people realized that at no time there had been any cause for alarm, «lid they begin to think on the effects of the panic, and on an examination being made it was found that many were seriously injured, although for- tunately ao lives were lost. - 7b - Miss Linkwaw AcQuitTeD:—The trial of Miss Amelia Linkbaw, for the murder of Ed. Hartman, which was re-commenced | Monday Morning, at Lumberton, was con- cluded Wednesday night. A telegram froin there yesterday conveys the intelligence that she was acquitted. Col. Duncan Kk. McRae was not connected with the defence as at first reported, though we are infurmed that he was to appear in the case and did not through some misunderstandIng between rCol. W. Foster French, and the friends of the youny lady. Owing tothe fuilure of the first trial, the case occupied about six-days of the court. The prisoner pleaded “net guilty” to the indictment and the ground of defence was emotional insanity. Dr. W. C. McDufiie, of Fayetteville, testi fied to his belief that the prisoner, though not now so, was at the time of the fatal shooting, a victim of mental aberration, and it is supposed that it was chiefly upon his testimoney as an expert that a verdict of acquittal was rendered. The jury remained out but a few hours.-- Charlotte Odserrer. _ —~—>-—-_--- THE GROWTH OF WEALTH IN NEW York. —Fifty years ago only one citizen of New York City, John Jacol) Astor, was worth more than $1,000,000.

The Archbishop fullowing the advice of the Pope to a European bishop, has directed all the priests in the arch dio- cese of New Englund to at once establish psrochial schools, and threaten parents who refuse them with the terrors of the Church. In localities where the influence of public schools is thought to be particularly injuri- ous to Catholic youth, the pricsts are instuct- ed to withdraw the children at once, ever if there be no parochial schools in the vicinity. —— ——_ A Doe's Higu-Toxep Bortat.—The whims of some people had a curious illue tration in an order received a day or two since by a well-knowa undertaker's firm in New York to furnish a rich cloth-covered casket with velvet triminings and solid silver plate and handles, The interior of tlie ca® ket was to be lined with white satin and silk trimmings, All this was fora dog: be.| longing to a wealthy family up town. The animal had been nursed and taken care of for the past twenty years. The dead eni- mal lay in the casket wrapped in a mantle of white satin, with white silk ribbane around theneck.

England, yndar the ipapece tion of Governor Hopkins, and in 1658, dis- tributed through the cofany.” We thus see that one code of statutedaws did exist, and was distyijyted. It did not contain the Blue Laws, because Peters was not then born, and could not compile his “sketch.” If they had existed, they doubtless would have heen there, because no motive could exist, at that day, for their suppression, and there is no‘evidence, excépt the gratuitous assertion of Petets, that they were not suf- ‘fered to be printed, at that or any other time. But waa this “sketch” of. Pgters, 9 truc one? I answer it certainly Was not, be- cause Neal’s Abridyment, referred to by me, was not an abridgment of the Laws only, but of the “Ordinances” also of New Eng- land, ang these ordinances would doubtless have embraccd the laws of “custom and ysage,” sketched by Peters, if they liad ex: igted; for Neal says explicity, in his Pre face that although “some of the more an- cient ones, relating to dress, fashions, &c, are obsolete; and others, which require ec- clesinstical gtialifi¢ations for clvil prefer- ments, are repegled hy the New Charter, yet tt wus not proper lo omit them.

Neither Neal nor any other writer, could quéte that which did not exist; that feat was reserved for Dr. Samuel Peters; who in codifying his lawsof “custom and usage,” was about as successful as the State of New York, is saiq ty have been, ju its attempt, shout a quarter of 4 centyry ago, to codify the common Jaw, when the effort was made to simplify the legal phrase “ne exeat,” by substituting the slang English “no yo.” / But further. If “thé blue laws, instead of being a code, are only records of convic- tions,” surely the code of 1650, going back to 1638, comprising the “orders of the Gener- al court,” and the ‘judicial proceedings,” copied with “acenracy” from the “original records,” purporting withal, to be “what is commonly styled, Blue Laws,” should cer- tainly contain the Injys of Peters, if they ex- jated. It was printed by 8. Andreus and spn, four years before Peters’ death, which oc- curred at New York in 1826—to that ex- tent, at least, disproving the assertion that no attempt was made, jy the life time of Dr. Peters, to disproye his statements. The identical laws of Petefg are not to he found in that code, and but few proceedings sjmj- lar, if we except, now and then, a convic- tion, “for sinful or filthy,” not ‘futile, “dal- liance.” It is no answer to these and other facts, to quote Peters’ assertion that “the Blue Lawes were never suffered to be printed.” Such an answer cannot be satisfactory even ta Veritas himself, who knows that Peters’ veracity is mginty in question in this whole matter; for Veritas says'J did not make the Rey. Samuel Peters ‘hy gan witness, in fa- vor of the geauinensss {ithe Bige Laws,” anet he nignifgsts his chariness jy: saying, further, “therp are dozena of books -pritten them copy from Peters.” How he makes this tally with another statement, that he had “proved that learned men, ofall parties, quote them with approbation,” I am at 4 lqss to undefstand, ‘unless it be that “Dr, Peters was needed, ase witness ip the one case, and notin the other,” “as he asserted, when trying to break’ the force of my quo- tation from The Methodist Quarterly Review, which affirined, thint Peters “was @ man ut- terly incapable of telling the truth, on any bal lars ar , |Now while I have not. admitted that this is a <b Iv is admitted that Peters’ Blne Lawa, rennet be found, either in shem or the judicial pro- ceedings of courtg, ‘not they were not suffered to be printed, bat because they did not-esist, of} ff f But Veritas, wisely térning from Peters, says he “preferred to. quote other authorities —notably Gov.

But Prof. Schele De Vere, of the Universi- ty of Virginia, is introduced as saying that the Blue Laws of Peters “are affirmed be- yond a doubt, hy the reprint of the Abstract of Laws of New England, in Gov. Hutchin- son's Calleation of Papers, where the iden- tical proyisions” imay be found. It would be a marvel indeed, if Peters could quote from memory, forty-five unwritten laws containing the identical provisions sgid to be found in this Abstract. But what is more unfortunate than marvelous, is the fact, that Hutchinson died, in 1780, befarg Peters gaye his “sketeh.” How could Hutehinson’s Ab- stract gontgin the “identical proyisions” of laws not as yet sketched? The last work of Hutehinson himeelf, was published in 1789. Hjs grandson, like McCormick ie grand- son of Peters, pyblished a posthumous vol- ume, in London, in 1828, which may or may got have copied the “identical provisions” of | Peters’ laws.

Thus Butler is religion, it was fit To match his learning and his wit; *Twas Presbyterian true blue.” Hudib. Cant.1. Chict Justice Smith of New York is glsi introduced as saying; in his history, pub. lished in 1767, thatthe laws jn question are only records of convictions, Consonant, in the judgment of the magistrates to. the word of Gad, and dictates of reason.” which meena, if it means any thing, that the colo- nists af New Haven, so far from having either a code of written laws, or laws of cus- tom and usage, ieally had no laws at all, ; except “the word of God,” which is much | nearer the truth than Peters is, in giving forty-five specimens of laws, dubbed blue, | which cannot be proven to exist. But let | us see what Justice Smith says obout these | records, in addition to the above quotation, The italics are my own, “A note ought not to be suppressed re- specting these records, to correct 4 yajce of | misplaced ridicule. Few there are, who. speak of the blue laws, (a title of which the author was ignorant,) who do not imagine they form a code of rules for future conduct, drawn up by an enthusiastic, precise set of religjonists; and if the inrentign af wite, his warists and buffoons were to le credited, they must Consist of many large volumes, The author had the curiosity to resart to them, when the Commissaries met at New Haven, for adjusting a partition line between New York and Massachusetts, in 1767; anda parcl)mgnt cayered book of demi-royal pa- per, was handed him for the laws asked tor, as the only volume in the oftice, passing un- der this odd title. It contains the memori- als of the first settlement of the colony, which consisted of persons who had wander- ed beyond the limits uf Mussuchusetts Bay, and who, as yet unauthorized by the crown, to set up any civil government, in due form of law, resolved to conduct themselees, by the Bi- ble. Asa necessary consequence the judges they chose, took up an authority similar to; that, which every religious mun, exercises over his children and domestics. Hence their attention to the morals of the people, in jpstances in which the civil magistrate egn nover intermeddle, under a regular well =policied jpstitution; because to preserve lib- erty, they gre cognizable only by parental authority. * * These remarks were, by the authar, communicated to Mr. Hutchin- son of Baston, then ane of the Commissaries, ers, ang to other yentlemen of eminence, in the colony of the vary town of New Haven, who heard them ag ngyeltigs; ner would the JSormer adopt them, till he had recourse,the next day, to the records themselpes.” (Prof, King- sly’s Hist. Dise, p. 1Q).) The Mf. Hutchinsan above referred to was, aceording to Prof. Kingsley, ne less 4 personage than Goy. Hutchinson himself. Upon personal inspection of the records, he was reluctantly led to adopt the yiews of Chief Justice Smith, that the invention of wits, humorists, and buffoons is not to be credited as truthful history, and that “the record of convictions,” styled “blue laws,” did not forma code of ryles for future conduct. This was in 1767. Peters wrote his history | in 178}, in Jondon, How then is it possi- | Ule that the “igentical provisions,” of Peters’ Blue ],qws, or what js the same thing, “the authenticity of the famous laws of New Ha- ven,” can he “canfirmed beyond a doubt by the reprint of the Abstract of Laws of New ! day. 3 tion of Papers,” when Ggv.

The wells and springs are failing. ‘lhe fever has somewhat abated about here, althoagh it continues to rage with unabated fury below us, There was a strange accident which oe- curred at this place last Monday. A Jit- tle child of Mr, M. G. Doby fell baekward from a befeh about one anda half feet. high, and died ju about two hours. Aged eighteen months. The suddenness of the event was most distressing to the parents. The merchants of Jackson Hill are hav- ing as good a trade as usual, The free schools of this vicinity are in session and doing well.

Myr, Editor; Inthe Watehman of Nov. 13th, I see a piece concerning ‘Texas, and headed ‘Don’t Go.” Thisartiele came to you from very good source, I suppose, but the writer of it has, to my notion, seen very little of Texas. I admit that water has been scarce this season aud turnips and other garden products are a total failure, but for other crops, they turn out just as well a8 could be expected under the circumstances, J know farmers here who raised 24 bushels of wheat to the acre.

DuTcHMAN. ee A Visit to “Indian Hill,’”? or The Winter Residence of the One- eyed King of Sapona. Since it has become the fashion for the leading jonrnals to dispatch correspond. ents to places of general interest, a sinall party of the editorial aud reportorial “statt” of the Watchman went out this week to explore the ancient winter capt- tal” of the King of Sapona, It Was ex- pected that our excellent friend, Maj. 8, W. Cole, would be one of the party, but a press of business detained him at home, polite to his gustomers as aud you ¥ series of text Iperintendent off xim the love and respect of the entire coin. | of | and it is coming up very well considering | [their high place of refags, vow entirely nidde-of it. ‘The Irading Ford is a fa- mous old ervasiug place, used more than two hundred years ago by the “Indian traders” from Virgihia. who travelled along the great “Trading Path,” from Jamestown te the Catawbas,. Waxsaws, Cherokees, and other south-western tribes, Fairly aevoss the Yadkin, we found our- selves in the fatmons “Jersey Settlement,” in Daviisen eounty, and in the neighber- hood of the ancient “Sapona Town,” where iu the spring of 170], Lawson, the sur- veyor of the Propietaries of North Caroli- na, paid the Sapona tribe a visit. ‘THe lace ia very accurately described in his listory.. ‘The “‘mountainy ground,” en one side of the river, and the “clear-field about a mile scuare,” where the Indian settlement was, are still there as they Were 178 years ago. And “the eontinual pleasant warbling uojse” of the “silver stream” we heard to-day. And there too is the rich soil, and the beautiful islands sleeping ou the bosom df the sparkling waters. The graceful swans and wild wa- ter-fowl were pot there, and the elirrup- ping of the innumerable ‘songsters on the trees was hushed on this December day. Wending our way, tor a couple of miles along the edge of the rick alluvial low- lands, our party reached the hospitable mausion of Dr. W. B. Meares, who wel- eomed us to his home, and placed himself at our disposal as guide. His residence stands opon a high hill at the north-west side of the valley overlooking a thousand acres of rich level land, bounded by the Winding river, and the torest-elad hills of the further side. A walk of half a mile, through eorn- fields, pasture and meadow lands, brought us to “fudian Hill.” This is an artificial “moun” between two and three hundred yards in circumference, at its base, aud probably twelve or fifteen feet in height. It is perteetly cireular, and so gentle in its ascent, that it has been cultivated with ithe rest of the land for generations. ‘Thus the plow has gradually reduced its height, and itis probably not more than half of its original elevation. There ean scaree- ly beadoubt that it is aetificial. Near | by are deep depressious, showing where (the earth was obtained for its eonstrue- (Mon.

The main part of the vil- jlage, if we may judge from the fragments jue pottery, lay to the west of the mound, while the yiver ran near by on the south j—say 100) yards distaut—within steep banks fifteen fect high. As to the pur- | pose of the mound, we cannot be certain, ‘butan cxamination of the grounds will reveal at least one important end sub- served by it, viz: a refuge frou: tloods,— | The surface of the valley is not absolute- ily level, but risea and talls in gentle un idulations, ‘The mound and the village steed on one of these earth-waves near the river. But between them aud the hills there is a depression, now partly covered by a meadow, wih a spring of | pure water rising in it. As the main stream would rise after a freshet, ar the melting of the snows on the Blue Ridge, the back-water would steal yently into the rear of their village, covering the mead- ow Jands Jying behind them. As the Waters rose highcr, the site of the village would be snbmerged. In this dilemma the men could easily wade or swim out, but the women, and children, and their little family stores could not so easily be removed. Hence an elevation above high- water mark would be eminently useful in such emergencies. Such a mound would also farnish a strong hold in case of invasion. From its top, or sloping sides arrows, clubs, toma- hocks, stones, and other missiles might be hurled against an advancing foe, with ter- rible effect. Whether religious rights were ever cel- ebrated on these “high places,” or wheth- jerone great object was to furnish a sepul- ichre aud monument for their dead, we are junable to tell. Human skeletons have | been exhumed from some of these tumnii. (In this case, however, the cemetery of Sa- pova ‘Town was probably ou the island just above Trading Ford. This beautiful island, containing one hundred acres con- taius Judian remains. Several years ago Dr. J, W.

Comencement of the’ Trial of the Alleged drish Seditioniste. SLiGo, Nov. 24.—'Phe persons arrested last week and lodged in juil here were charged befure magistrates to-da y with sedition. Mr. Monroe, Queen's counsel, and the crew law adviser, condueted the prosecutions, The enquiry will be very protracted. Charles G. Parnell and a number of priests were present in court. There was no demonstration. The pris- overs were brenght to court under a heavy eseort. There isa great crowd in Sligo. Extra policemen have been draft- ed. Mr. Rea, solicitur of Belfast, hiinself at ove time a political prisoner, defended Lillen. The prisoners all looked well and chatted unconcernedly. The court room was crowded, although tiekets were necessary to secure admission. Mr. Lon- don, counsel for Dally, applied for a eopy of the notes which the government shert- band writer had taken at the meeting. The application was granted. Mr. Mon- roe, in opening the ease for the prosecu- tion, poiuted out that sedition meant not only open violeuee but anything caleula- ted to iucite disaffection er te set one class against another. He then proeeed- ed to call the evidence. . Lonvon, Nov. 24.—The newspapers of opposite political views agree that the arrests of Davitt, Killen & Daly, in Ire- land, have had the effect of reducing the witi-rent agitators to the abandonment of ineendiary language in their speeches. The Daily News thinks that the agitation will henceforth become more disciplined and organized, while the Zimes anticipates that it will soow die out aa the andiences at the meetings will soon tire of listening to dull speeches. ~~ @ Diamond and Pearl Making. There is in Paris a vast establishment -—the most extensive of its kind in the world—where the imitation of pearls, diamonds, and precious stones generally, is carried on with all the skill which moder) ingenuity renders possible and these productions are sent to the shops of all lands. Here the whole process of transforming a few grains of dirty, heavy hue is constantly going on. ‘The sand thus employed, and upou which the whole art depends, is found inv the Fon- tainbleau ; it appears to possess sume pe- culjar qualities of adaption to this pur- poxe, ‘The coloring matter for imitating eme- arlds, rubies and saphires is entirely min- eral has been broaght to high perfection. Hundreds of operatives are employed in polishing the colored stones and in lin- ing the false pearls with fish scales and wax. The scales of the roach and dace are chiefly employed for this purpose. They have to be stripped from the fish while living, or the glistening hne so much admired in the real pearl will not be imitated. These Paris pearls have beeh of late years so perfect that the Roman pearls has toa certain extent been superseded. The setting is always of real gold, and the fashion of the new- est kind. me Ranpoven ENTERrRIsE.—A company ton Factory at Ditfee’s Ford tive miles North ot this place. ‘The water power was examined last week by Mr, Solomon Dixon and pronounced good.

Towards the west, under the slaniing rays of tho declining sun, the waters of the river sparkled like sheets of silver encrusted with diamonds, shading blue and gray. At our feet lay the broad and beautiful valley, now sere and yellow under the sun of a December evening.— Patches of reeds still wearing their sam- mer-green robes, lay here and there along the river. Beyond the stream rose the highlands, covered at one place, with bare forest trees, interspersed with dark groves of pine, At another place a stately man- sion, crowning ahigh eminence, stood out- lined against the evening sky, Along these breezy hills, aud in these fertile val- leys lived once the EWises,athe Torrences, the McNamaras, and others who played | Congessman, of that persuasion. objective point of the extension of the otf to the eastward in soberer colors of | —— the bride’s father, by A.

An otter has been known to turn savagely upon a dog that urg- ed toattack it, to drag it into the water, and to drown it. The best dogs for the purpose are said to be the otter hounds. Even human foes are resisted with equal violence. The fur of the otter is so warm and handsome that it is in great request for commercial purposes. ‘The eutire length of the animal is rather under three fect and a half, of which the tail occupies about fourteen or fifteen inches. On the average, it weiglis about twenty-three pounds ; but there are cxamples which have far sur- passed that weight.

New Suspension Bripce.—A new feature in the way of a suspen- sion bridge was recently seen across the Housatonic River, a short distance, north of Falls Bridge. It wasa single thread ofa spider’s web suspended from a tree on one side to same ob- ject upon the other, between 300 and 400 feet in legth. How did the crea- ture manage to get it across? It is conjectured that the engineering spi- der must have calculated the distance spun a thread the reqyired length, and then at the right moment have thrown it out, when it was carried on the wings of some favorite breeze to the opposite side, where it became at- tached.

Liverpool, November 29.—A mecting, the attendance, at which, was estimated at ‘15,000 people was held opposite St. George’s Hall to-day. dorsed the speeches for which the recent arrests in Ireland were made. Hestrong- ly denounced the action of the govern- ment, which he predicted would utterly fail in its object. landlordism, he said would be continued. Resolutions, moved by Paraell, were car- ried withent!usiasm, totheeffect that the arrests are arbitrary, unconstitutional and calculated to weaken the confidence of the people of Ireland in the impartiality of, the law, and that the government which squanders the blood and treasure of a people in unjust wars abroad, while mis- ery and famine are unrelieved at home, stands condemned in the eyes of all right minded and thoughtful men. Finnegan, Obstructionist, member of Parliament for Ennis, spoke strongly denouncing the government. ‘There was uo disturbance. The authoritics have taken strong pre- cautions. A committee at a prior meet- ing had issued an appeal to the Irish to maintain a firm but peaceful atti- | tude.

In the endeavor to extinguish the flames her clothing caught fire and she will probably die. The infant lived a few hours only. Upton and his wife have been married two years and have hitherto lived happily to- gether. The papers in all directions in the South have committed an error in “stating that the Supreme Court of the United States had decided that the Virginia law against marriages between blacks and whites, was un- constitutional.

A car load of horses from one of the Wes- i tern States, recently arrived at a station on ‘the Camden Branch of the South Carolina Railroad. On unloading the car a hen was discovcred in one corner sitting on a nest containing thirteen eggs. All the horses were loose in the car, and tiey had traveled a long way, but it was found on examintion ' that not a single egg was broken. It was close quarters for the old hen, but she did not seem to mind it any more than if she was quietly sitting in a chicken house. On Friday last, Edmund Lowry, aged about 16 years, son of Wm. Lowry, near Smith's Turnout, in this caunty, died of ty- phoid feyer. Soon after the death occur- red, the mother of the deceased was stand- ing near the fire dressing a boil on her hus- band's neck, when her clothing caught on fire. With much difficulty the flames were subdued, but not before both were so badly burned as to render them unable to attend the funeral of their son.—Yorkville En quirer, ——_-_—~- ‘6A Foo’s Erranv.”— Ig not this the title of Judge Tourgee’s latest? We think itis. At all events the Louis- ville Courier Journal has rather a moder- ate opinion of it, as witness the follow- ing: ‘A Fool’s Errand” is an anonymons political story of some ability, but of little literary merit, It is bigoted’ and malignant, betraying a small mind pain- fully warped, a blind prejudice, a bitter hatred to the South and a reckless disre- gard for truth or honesty, The ouly thing that can be said to the writer's cred- it is that he was not so utterly lost to all sense of shame as to be willlng to put his ‘name on thetitle page of his unscrupulous ‘work, ‘ does not affirm the existance of either No. 20, which forbids a woman to kiss her child ow the Sabbath or Fasting-day, or No. 45, ordering every male to have his hair cut round according toacap, but says of the latter, and of that portion of No. 35 relating to minced pies, cards, dancing &c, that they are “unimportant,” and asks what metiveor why should Peters have invented or forged them? Ii.nsver for the same reason that “wits and ha- morists and buffoons,” have added, that “bees should not work, or cats catch mice on Sunday—for spert—‘‘as a mad man whocasteth fire-brands, arrows and death, so is the man that decetreth his neighbor, and saith, Am not Tin sport?” Nay, for vindictive malice for any man who could, as Peters did, assert that the “pious fath- ers of New Haven colony ‘to the eternal infamy of christian policy, found means to spread the gospel iuto every Indian town, and with the gospel the small-poz,’ when there is no evidence from nay record or history, preceding this work of Peters that any part of this story is trae,” ought scarcely to be noticed, should lie speak the truth. (Prof. Kingsley, 1838. p p. 85-6.) No wonder that Veritas preferred to quote from other authorities, and say that there are dozens of books written upon the Blue Laws,—and scarcely any of them quote from Peters. But Ido not know that I should be greatly dissatisfied that law No. 19, which says, No one ghall trav- el, cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair, or shave onthe Sabbath day” should be proven true. Of course works of necessity and mercy were excepted from the law then, as wellas now. With such exception, it might safely be endors- ed. Indeed there is an awakening inter- est, just at this time, all over the land on this subject of sabbath desecration, not ouly north, but in North Carolina, and even in Texas. If the laws of our own State. even of the Jast Legislature. on this subject, and others, were examined, it will be found that Acts have been passed, permitting judicial legislation, as freely almost, as that objected to amoug the Pu- ritans, and as obnoxious, if ‘‘barshly” ad- judicated and executed, as those cited by Veritas, as recently enforced in Connecti- cut. Nor is this awakened interest con- fined to “Connecticut's whimsical old Pu- ritanism,” or even to this continent; some even in the church of England, are aro1s- ed. Lord Shaftesbury, the Bishop of Lon- don, Mr. Samuel Motley, several members of Parliament, with Mr. Spurgeon, and the President of the Wesleyan Confer- ence, and numerous other bishops and leaders, civil and religious, have recently effectively petitioned the Common Coun- cil of London against opening Guildhall Library on the Sabbath; alledging among other reasons that the arguments for open- ing libraries on Sunday, are equally strong for the Sunday opening of numerous other places of amusement, as the aquariums, the concert rooms, and the operas, and that if it be right for men to work in a pub- lic library on Sundays, it cannot be wrong for them to work in a shop or factory.” Thus, even, the Episcopal church has made advances from what it once was; nor would that church appear so well, as Veritas shows it, if its history was faith- fully written. That history would bear out the assertion of a profound student and thinker, that if the Puritans had “hard and bitter elements of character, they had hard and bitter acts of oppres- sion to develope them;” and no power was more potent, and better than chat of the church of England. Let us take an inst- ance, which took place immediately pre- ceeding the immigration of the Pilgrims to this country, which was partly the rea- son of that immigration, and which woald justify, if any thing could, the Sabbath law which Peters derides. Tallon ia bis constitutional history of England, says: “But James I or some of the bishops to whom he listened, bethought themsel- ves that this night serve as a test of Pu- ritan ministers. He published, accord- ingly, a declaration, to be read in the churches, permitting all luwfal recreations on Sunday after divine service, such as dancing, arehery, May-games and morrice- dances, and other usual sports; but with a- prohibition of bear-baiting aud other un- lawfal games, No recusant, or any one who had not attended the Church-service, was entitled to this privilege; which might ea nently be regarded as a bounty on devotion. The severe Puritan saw in it no such view. To his cynical temper, May-gamesand morrice-dances were hard- ly tulerable on six days of the week; they were now recommended for the seventh. And this impious license was to be pro- mulgated in the charch itself. It is iadeed difficult. to explain so unnecessary an in- Iton the precise clergy but by supposing but does not Hutchinson deny it? When the King’s commissfoners visited New England in 1665, did they not, according to Hutchinson, report that the people of Connecticut, “will not hinder any from enjoying the sacraments, and using the common prayer book, provided, that they hinder not the maintenance of the public minister?” and what higher religious priv- ileges do dissenters have, in old England at the present day ? a But I perfer to let the Ministers of Ply- mouth, Massachusetts, in 1629, speak for theniselves. They declared that they on- ly separated from “‘the corruptions and dis- orders of the church of Eugiand; tirat'they came away from the Common yer and Ceremonies, and had saffered “much for their non-conformity in their pative land, aud therefore being in a place Where they might have their likerty they neith- er could nor would ase them; because they judged the imposition of these things to @iufal cor uptions of the word of God.” This declaration was made in justification of their refusal to comply with the com- plaints made by two of their parishioners, because the Ministers did not use the Book of Common Prayer; and administered, the Lord’s supper without the Ceremonies, and refused to adinit disorderly persons, As to Connecticut, Bancroft says, ‘Rog er Williams had ever been a welcome guest at Hartford; and ‘that heavenly man John Haynes,’ would say to him, ‘I think,’ Mr. Williams, I must now confess te you, that the most wise God hath provided and cut out this part of the world, as a refuge and receptacle, for all sorts of conscignces,'— There never existed a persecuting spirit in Connecticut.” (vol. 11. 57.) Douglas, who is said to have had. tittle sympathy with the puritans, is quoted by Bancroft, in a note, as saying “I never heard of a persecuting spirit in Connecticut; 4a this they are egregiously asxpersed.” But what patern of legislation, and what example of toleration had the Puritans ef either New or old England, to guide them in legislating respecting the Book of Com- mon Prayer? The act of the 35th ofEliza- beth, entitled an act “to retain the Queen's Majesty’s subjects in their due obedierice,” declared that “any person or persons, above the age of sixteen years, which shall obsti- nately refuse to repair to some chureh ‘or chapel, or usual place of common prayer, te hear divine service established iy her Mujes- ty’s laws and statutes, in that behalf made; or shall advisedly or maliciously move or presuade sny other person whatsoever,to forbear or abstain from coming to chureh- to hear divine service, or tu receive the com, munion according to her Majesty's laws and statutes; or be present at any unlawful assem- blies, conventicles or meetings, undew color or pretense of any exercise of religion, contrary to her Mujesty’s said laws and stututes,” sud being thereof lawfully convicted “shall be committed to prison, there to remain’ with- out bail or mainprize, until they shall con- form and yield themselves, to come t~ some church, chapel or usual place of common prayer, and hear divine service, ae er Majesty’s laws and statutes aforesaid.” The offender not conforming, was o “to abjure the realm,” and “if he returned with- out her Majesty's special license in that be- half, shall be adindget a felon, and shall suffer as in case of felony, without benefit of clergy.” For not conforming to these requirements, Henry Barrow, William Dennis and John Greenwood, a Minister, were put to death; and a great many poor families were utter- ly ruined, by fines and imprisonments.— Those executed “made avery godly and pious end, praying earnestly for the Queen and the State,” being convinced that their persecution and death lay at the door of Whitgift, the Bishop of the Episcopal church, and hie co-religionists, rather thau at that of the Queen herself. For publish- ing a bouk called Zion's Plea, in which the Queen was called “a daughter of Heath, and the Bishop's persecutors of God's people, Dr. Alexander Leighton was sentenced, af- ter degradation to have his nose slit, and his ears cut off, to be branded in the face, whipped at a post, to stand in the pillory, to pay ten thousand pounds fine, and suffer perpetual imprisonment; all of which was ez- ecuted in the most rigorous manner. The Doctor lay in close prison ten or eleven years, till he was released by the Parliment, in the year 1640, and was then found to be insuch ‘deplorable circumstances, that he could neither walk, see nor hear.” But further. During the two and a half years, Dr. Wren was Bishop of Norwich, “above fifty. godly, faithful preaching Miinsters were excommu- nicated, suspended, deprived or otherwise censured, in his dioccss, to the undving of many of them, their wives and children.” And for what? “For not reading the sec- ond service at the communion table, set Al- ter-wise; for not reading the Book of spo-ts; for using couceived prayer before and after sermon, and for not observing some other iltegal innovations, introduced by him and his officers.

The disastrous failure of the beet crop in France this year will call at- tention to the cultivation of that ar- ticle in this country. While it may be too soon to indulge in any great measure of enthusiasm on the subject, experiments thus far made certainly justify liberal expenditures of effort in this direction. We possess plenty of the soil suited to the beet, while the sunshine that is so absolutely in- dispensable for the formation of the saccharine juices seems all that could be desired. A correspondent of the Boston Journal recently visited a company who are now actively en- gaged in the production of beet sugar in Maine, This company were making arrangements to contract for much larger areas of beet fields than heretofore, in view of the exportation ofa quantity of the most approved machinery from Germany. The price to be paid for the beets was one dol- Jar pertonin excess of last year’s prices, From the officers of the com- pany many very interesting facts were elicited. Twenty tons per acre js re- garded asa very satisfactory crop, but the average last year was only fifteen tons. Some farmers, however, raised forty tons per acre, and one secured forty-nine and a half tons. According to these authorities: the average crop in France is twenty-three tons to theacre, al- though other authorities place ft at rather less, The beets are bought from the farmers at $6 per ton deliv- ered at the works, and yield about nine per cent. of their weight in sugar, and then about three per cent, of syrap. In addition to the sugar and syrup, one ton of pulp is yielded by each five tons of beets, and this pulp, which the farmers pronounce better food for eattle than the beets them- selves, is sold at $1.50 per ton. It is suggested that the size of the beet largely affects its value to the sugar-makers. Thus far, the same price has been paid for large and small, but the larger beets appear to produce more water with a less pro- portion of sugar than do the small ones, In this connection, it appears that coarse manures such as would be desirable in the case of vegetables in which size isan appreciable qualifi- cation, are not desirable for beets, and besides enlarging them and thus adding to weight without a propor- portionate increase of sugar, they strengthen the weeds. These, in their turn, choke the beets and prevent them from getting the much-needed sunshine. Samples taken from fields manured with special fertilizers yield- ed twenty-five per cent. more than the average, At present, the Com- pany offer to supply farmers with the seed and all the tools necessary for cultivation, and to take payment in beets when the crop is harycsted. To each farmer purchasing seed, tools, and to all other inquirers, the neces- sary instructions are furnished. These are simple and consist of the follow- ing rules: Plow deeply, and, if possible, the fall before. Harrow, until thorough- ly pulverized, and sow as early as the ground can be got ready.. Manure liberally, and in most cases use a lit- tle fine manure, or superphosphate, in the drill. Use plenty of seed; sow jt not more than one inch, or less than half an inch deep. Hoe as early as the rows can be plainly seen, and thid out to eight or ten inches apart in the row, before the beets get much larger than a "pipe-stem, keeping the ground clean and loose until the leaves get large enough to cover the ground, With these conditions a good crop is almost absolutely sure. That the culture of the beet is like- ly to prove extraordinarily Juorative 1s not suggested ; that it will prove fairly remunerative js probably be- yond dispute. When it is remember- ed that the present annual consum p- tion of sugar in this country is not far short of 750,000 tons, and that the present production of the country is less than 100,000 tons, the bal- ance being imported at a cost of $100,- 000,000, the desirableness and pata bility of ay extensive beet culture gre manifest. -————__~-+>o——__._ Pulling at the Halter, From the New York Observer, Your correspondent, Mr, 8, E, Swift, asks for a cure. Without great experience in handling horses, I have ———$<<$<—— | found diversion a valuable principle | in dealing with them, and in this way | leured an obstinate “halter puller,” | just such as he describes. I took a good, well-twisted cord, slightly thick- er than a lead pencil, strong enough to bear gome strain, and yet not so large as to prevent it stinging a little, and of sufficient length, passed it un- der the tail, twisting it double to se- cure direct pull, as ,it ran over the back and under the saddle, and then an end through each bit-ring, and making there a simple slip-knot, which would give at once upon ten- sion, still keeping the cord in the ring, ard running it beyond, tied it tightly to the hitching post. I thus had him in fact tied up by the tail. Then I tied him up by the bridle rein, shorter than by the cord, making the tie to the post witha slip-knot, which would give upon the least tug, and stepped aside to see the result. The fault of pulljng is one of edu- cation, I believe. The horse, having at some time been hurt while hitched by the bridle, fearing repetition, has learned, as he supposes, the cause of his injury to lie in the being hitched and so to avoid the repetition of the injury, he deliberately tugs at his hitching strap until it breaks, <Ac- cepting this idea, and the theory that to make his tug the source of punish- ment at some other point, the applica- tion of the mode I followed is seen. The result was, so soon as left to himself, he*began to pull, the bridle slipped loose quietly, aud before he got to theend, ashe supposed, he brought up sharply against the now tightened cord, which, stinging him severely, yet not cutting the skin un- der the tail, made him spring forward and away from “a fire iu the rear.” I repeated it by again tying him up by the bridle, but I had to “back” him the second time, and within 15 minutes, I couldn’t force him back, nor would he stir so asto tighten the bridle rein, although I flirted an um- brella and threw a_ robe in his face. He never again, while I knew him, —for five years after,—pulled on his halter. I have no doubt this mode, in repeated lessons, will cure any horse of the fault. It is true educa- tion. Very respectfully yours, ALS; —— —- -ep-— Profitable Bees. A well-known bee-keeper in this State gives the American Bee Journal a report of his profits from bee-keep- ing for the past seven years, He says: “Our average yield for each colony in the spring of 1873, was 80 pounds; in 1874, a fraction of a pound less than 100; in 1875, a little over 106; in 1876, just (0; in 1877, a little less than 167; 1878, 71; and in 1879— the present season—58 pounds, mak- ing an a erage yield of a little over 90 pounds per colony for the term of seven years. By looking over our di- ary we ascertain that our honey has sold at an average price of 21} cents per pound, the highest price having been obtained (283 cts.) in 1874, and the lowest (10 3-c.) in 1878. “From past experience, we believe a thorongh practical workingman can can do all the work required to be done with 100 colonies of bees, and from the above.he should obtain for an average term of years, 6,000 pounds of honey annually, which at 21 2-4c. per pound would bring him a yearly income of $1,912.50. Although the average yield per colony for seven years to come may be increased, yet the price during that time is likely to be lower, as the high prices caused by the war are passed, and unless we have some unforeseen event to raise the price of honey, it will probably never bring 28 cents per pound again. Still, with a much lower price for honey than that averaged for the last seven years, bee-keeping ranks favor- ably with almost any other pursuit.” ee Unshod Horses, It has been befure stated that an experienced farrier in England was advocating theZabolishment of horse- sheing, and now a writer in the Lon- don Times has been trying the ex peri- ment, and thus reports: “When my pony’s shoes were worn out I had them removed, and gave him a month’s rest at grass, with an occasional drive ofa mile or two on the high road while his hoofs were hardening. The result at first seemed doubtful. The hoof was a thin shell, and kept chip- ping away until it had worked down beyond the holes of the nails by which ee had been fastened, After thi’the hoof grew thick and hard, quite unlike what it had been before. I now put the pony to full work, and e he stands it well. He is more’ sire footed ; his tread is almost ‘noiseless ; his houfs are in no danger from the rough hand of the farrier; and the change altogether has been a. clear gain, without anything to set against it. My pony, I may add, was be- tween four and five years old—rising four, I fancy, is the correct phrase. He had been regularly shod up to the present year.” ae Pia cape A dispatch from Paris says: ‘‘The beet crop is even worse than was an- ticipated, and the price of sugar has sensibly risen. Many refineries have come to a stand-still, and nearly al! are likely to terminate their opera- tions by the end of December. The quality of the crop is inferior and the quantity deficient.’ Joshua Woodbury made record in the year 1761 that he had just set out two apple trees ‘‘for pdsterity’s sake.” The trees still stand on a farm at Cape Elizabeth, Cumberland county, Me., and this year bore two barrels of good apples. Many a farmer has one or miore cows which it will be no advantage to him to keep through the winter. By putting fat upon them and send- ing them to the butcher, he will both save money and make money. The farm products ofeIIlinois will amount the present year, to $200,000,- 000! which is double the product of all the gold and silver mines in the United States. It is said that the cotton crop this year will be fully 500,000 bales more than ever before. ——_—_ > ae CLESAR AND REVOLUTION. The consulship of Cesar was the last chance for the Roman aristocracy. Ife was nota revolutionist. Revolu- tions are the desperate remedy when all else has failed. They may create men always hate them. But if revolution was to be escaped, reform was inevitable, and it was for the venate to choose between the alterna- tives. Could the noble lords have known then, in that their day, the things that belonged to théir peace— could they have forgotten their tish- ponds and their game preserves, and have remembered that, as the rulers of the civilized world, they had du- ties which the eternal order of nature would exact at their hands, the shaken constitution might again have regain- ed its stability, and the forms and even the reality of the republic might have continued for another century. It was not to be. Had the Senate been capible of using the opportuni- ty, they would long before have un- dertaken a: eformation for themscl ves, | Even had their eyes been open, there were disintegrating forces with which the highest political wisdom could do no more than arrest; and little good is really effected by prolonging artifi- cially the lives of either constitutions or individuals beyond their natural period. From the time when Rome became an empire, mistress of provin- ces to which she was unable to extend her own liberties, the days of her self- government were numbered. A hono- geneous and vigorous peuple may manage their own affairs under a popular constitution so long as their personal characters remain undegen- erate. Parliaments and Senates may represent the general will of the com- munity, and may pass laws and ad- minister them as puvlic sentiment ap- proves. But such bodies can preside successfully only among subjects who are directly rep resented in them. They are too ignorant, too selfish, too divi- ded to govern others; and imperial aspirations draw after them, by ob- vious necessity, an imperial rule. Cesar may have known this in his heart, yet the most far-seeing states- man will not so trust his own mis- givings as to refuse to hope for the regeneration of the institutions into which he is born. He will determine that justice shall be done. Justice is the essence of government, and with- out justice all forms, democratic or monarchie, are tyrannies alike. But he will work with the existing meth- ods till the inadequacy of them has been proved beyond dispute. Con- stitutions are never overthrown till they have pronounced sentence on themselves.—J. A. Froude. The Chester Bulletin says that a young man of that county, endeavor- ing to sell a lady a patent churn, guar- anteed that he could “bring butter” in ten minutes. The lady, in order to try him, filled the churn and put him to work. He had churned an hour before he found he was churning buttermilk. sien ilonapinatnay eee as many evils as they cure, and wise.

The room should be subjected to this fami- gation for several hours, and afterwards thoroughly aired by opening all of the doors and windows. “A pound and a half of sul- phur is sufficient for 1,000 cubic feet of space.” If chlorine be preferred, take four ounces of the peroxide of manganese, place it in an earthern dish or crock, and add to it one pound or muriatic acid.

The President’s allusions to the Southern question are inferential only and are con- ceived in a spirit as far as possible removed from that which has been too assiduously cultivated by many of his party friends. It might be difficult, indeed, for any one fresh from the perusal of partisan harangues and imperfectly acquainted with the motives that dictated their delivery, to believe that the national Executive has not been guilty of an unpardonable omission. Exciting elec- tion cries still ring in our cars. Great efforts have been made to conyince the country that nothing less than Providential interposition, throuzh the agency of “stalwart” Republi- canism, can avert another civil war. One section has been described as arrayed-against another, and Northern loyalty has been ad- vised once more to gird on the sword and prepare for a decisive conquest of the South. If somo of the statements put forward by oratorical giants are to be literally accepted, the South is preparing to seize the govern- ment and to use all available machinery for the attainment of the most diabolical ends. On the same authority, we have been requir- ed to believe that all other subjects are triv- ial in comparison with this subject of sec- tionalism; and it is certain that the preva- lence of this belicf has a very close connec- tion with recent Republican victories, The North, in short, has been half persuaded that the Union is again in peril, and that an aggressive, unyielding policy on the part of Republicans can alone avert terrible dis- asters, As at least. one member of the Adminis- tration labored zealously to inculcate this lesson, we must assume that the President is not ignorant of the facts on which it is based. If there really is danger of another sectional conflict, he may be supposed to be acquainted with all the indications of dan- ger to which his advisers have access, And as the constitution imposes on him an obli- gation to “give to the Congress information of the state of the Union” and to “recom- mend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient,” we naturally turn to this message for a trust- worthy presentation ofa very alarming case. But we search in vain. Either the great sectional contest is a product of the partisan imagination, or by an incomprehensible ac- cident the President has overlooked it. The latter hypothesis is hardly probable. Mr. Hayes is not a nan likely to overlook the contingency of impending civil war; it would have been the uppermost thing in his thoughts. Instead of direful lamenta- tions, ha is cheerful, hopeful, and even grate- ful. How is the anomaly to be explained ? Can it be that the sectional issue, having served a purpose in the late elections, has been shelved until next July? Or is it that the President is impelled by # sense of duty to quietly extinguish the sectiongl flame, and to set forth the only aspect of the Southern question which properly concerns the country? “In one short paragraph, containing no mention of the South, the President. sets forth all there real!y is inthe Southern ques- tion. The North has seen that under the present local governments the South does | hot afford “universai security and freedom 4in the exercise of the elective franc rights,” the South is at fault; and the knew- ledge of the fact has awakened throughout the North a “zeal in defense of the primary rights of citizenship” which in a political contest is irresistable. Other questions ad- mit of differences of opinion, and a series of States cannot be uniformly influenced by the discussions to which such questions lead. The right of suffrage, however, is fundamen- tal, and when an issue grows out of its sys- tematic violation by one set of States, the power of public opinion in the other States will, as the Presidents remarks, “override all political prejudices and all sectional and State attachments, in demanding that all over our wide territory the name and char- acterof citizens of the United States shall” “carry with them unchallenged security and respect.” So terse a statement of the merits of the controversy pricks many wind-bags, and clears the ground for the practical ef- forts that are needed to remove the only tenable pretext for social irritation. The Northern demagogues, who would persuade their audiences that it ‘is necessary to pre- pare for further conquest ,have their counter- part in the Southern demagogues, who talk as their scction must choose between sub- jugation and constitutional monarchy. Mr. Hayes cffectually disposes of both classes. He does not snub the one or scold the other. He simply says that the American people as a whole so keenly feel any attack upon the rights of citizenship that they will not tole- rate the party which is responsible for the ed truth wounds Southern pride, it will be because the South is conscious of the weak- ness of its position. Nor does Mr. Hayes neglect the opportu nity of exploding the absurd inventions of men who have gone about boasting of what the North will do to coerce the South, Cer- tain laws designed to guard the right of suf- frage are in the statute book; the country, he says, will demand their enforcement. If these laws are defective, he adds, the duty of Congress, within constitutional limits, is to correct them. Here, in a nut-shell, is the Republican policy in regard to the South. It aims at the universal assertion of a great right; and seeks the attainment of its pur- pose by means to which no rational South- erner can object. The tone of the President in thus indirectly expounding all that is es- sential in the Southern question should con- tribute to the abatement of sectional animos- ity, North as well as South. So faris he from assuming that the sections are neces- the public mind can be set at rest on this paramount question of popular rights, no serious object will thwart or delay the com- plete pacification of the country.” The Pres- ident is right. The country is tired of sec- tionalism, and will appreciate any honest effort to extirpate the wrong which alone makes Northern sectionalism powerful. e <> Circulation of Silver---Every Con- gressman His Own Bonanza. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. WASHINGTON, Dec. Shermav and Treasurer Gilfillan are de- termined to continue paying silver dol- lars tothe extent of ten per cent. on salaries and oligations until Congress checks the coinage. Members of Con- gress are vow paid ten per cent. inv silver and some of them growl about it and re- sort to all sorts of dodges to escape the ponderous payment. So many of them have begged off in one way avd another that there is an accumulation of six thou- seargaut-at-erms of the House, which he don’t know what to do with. It repre- sents the amounts which were paid him to pay members, but which they have avoided taking. Treasurer Gilfillan will not yield an iuch, however, and says they must take the silver, that it is lawful money and must be circulated. Attempts to dodge the issue by taking checks has been thwarted, and now when a member calls for six hundred in checks, for in- stance, he is paid five hundred and forty and the balance in silver. The original silver men do not grumble at this, but those who oppose the movement to rein- state the silver dollar make a great fuss saying that they are weighted to the earth in attempting tocarry ten per cent. of their own pay. In conversation to-day Treasurer Gilfillan said that the per cent. of payments in silver would probably soon be largely iucre:ssed. Were pay- available funds in the treasury there would be thirty per cent. of silver paid out instead of ten. In the treasurer's opinion we are coming to this if coinage is kept up at the present rate. > —____ PuRCHASE TAX ON CoTTon.—The Ral- cigh Observer publishes a letter from State Treasurer Worth written in July last in referennee to the purchase tax on cotton, which is of interest just now -as parchasers are requried to make their re- turns after the Ist of January for the six mouths preceeding. ‘The Treasurer Bays: “You ask: Ist. “Are cotton dealers, who pur- chase for themselves or as agents for oth- ers, subject to the tax of one-tenth of one per cent on their purchases?” I answer, they are. 2nd. “Are merchants who make ad- vances on liens, and-in additon to goods furnished, advance money, and receive cotton in payment, subject to tax to the amount of money advanced?” I auswerm they are. gee WAVING OF THE B.

The letter for Nov. Ist is D, for the 2nd is E, &c.; now E being the Sunday or Dominical letter this year, Nov. 2nd fell on Sunday and the Ist on jSaturday. ‘The trouble is how to find the )Dominical letter. Bernard’s rules are as tollows: Divide the number of the century by 4, if nothing remains the centarial is 1, for jthe remainders 1, 2 and 3 the centurials jare respectively 3, Sand 7. To the centu- Vial add half of the largest leap year iu the incomplete century, and the comple- nent of the vears tu excess of the leap year, Divide the sum by seven, and for the rematiders 1, 2, 3, 4,5 and 6 the Do- minieal letters’ will be respectively A, B, C,D, Eand F, if there is no remainder the letter will be G. The complement of the excess is found by subtracting it from 7, Every leap year has two Dominical let- jters, the first serves from Jan’y Ist to Feb. 29th, the other the rest of the year. This |rule finds the last; for the tirst take the | following letter: On what day will July 4th, 1925, fall? The centurial is 7, The last leap year 24, vhalfof which is 12. The excess of 25 over |24is one, which subtracted from 7 gives ithe complement 6. Add 7,12 and 6 and idivide by 7, the remainder is 4; so the j4th letter D isthe Sunday letter for that iyear. The Ist day of July is G, the2d A, ithe 3d B, the 4th C, the Sth D, which will be Sunday, so the fourth will be on Sat- urday. | On what day will the 1 | 1920, fall? | The ceuturial is 7, the half of the larg- est leap year is 10 (that year being leap year). In this case there is no excess. So “aud 10 added and divided by 7 leave 3 jfor a remainder, which corresponds to C. | Butas leap years have two Dominieal letters we must take the following letter | D which is to serve until the end of Feb- jruary. The Sunday letter for the first | part of the year beiug D and the letter tor ithe Ist of February being D the first day fof that month will be Sunday, aud so February wiil have 5 Sundays that year, The rule for tinding the Dominieal let- tev for auy date in old style (previous to Sept. 1752), is the same except that the centurial is found by adding 3 to the number of couplete centuries and sup- pressing 7 as often as possible. On what day of the week did the mas- sacre of St. Bartholomew begin (Aug. 24, 1572)? Add 3 to the number of the cen- tury and divide by seven, the remainder— the centurial is 4, add this to half the uumber of the last leap year (that year Was leap year), which is 36; the sum which is forty, leaves, when divided by seven, a st of Februaf, in 8 Asafe rule never Mercury js above 2 Muing this, eve * provided with to kill pork when 2 Farenheit, and ‘y farmer ought ed y & good thermometer. ey an killed at this temperatature bung : ori at the hose when the hogs u P—a sure indication that there oY oer Hh ‘ : * ties” T of spuiling or being trouvled their account w e reg: Mid Scot y ret the failure of h Irish to carry the Stock remainder 5, so the tifth letter E, was the Sunday leiter.

We take the following figures from Mr. Lewes’ lecture. The average daily gain, from birth ‘to slaughter, for the different breeds of cattle, as shown atthe Smithfield fat cattle show for 1878, was: Average of Devons... .-. 1.352bs. per day. ‘Average of Ierefords....:.1.00 “ % Average of Shorthorns.....:1:85 ‘* ‘¢ This goes to show fimt the Short- horns mature more rapidly than other breeds, and attain to heavier weights uta given age. Do thsy do this at ‘yreafer or less expense of food? It ‘cannot be disputed that the longer a beast takes to make a given weight, more respiratory food will be used up in keeping up the vital proeesses, and unless there is a less assimilative pow- er itt the Shorthorn, so that’ too much of its food % left in the mantre, that breed must be the most profitable to feed. ——.+- —__ —_ American Meat Exports. It seems that the'restrictions upon the meat trade with the United States, by the English Goverment, have not proven much ofa hindrance ‘to the business, and the volume of the trade continues to expand rapidly. The order to slaughter at the port of entry has not availed to so embarrass the the trade as to relieye the British farmer from competition. We lave no doubt that if the was done on this side, the business would rest ona still firmer foundation and we believe it will come to that at last. It is proposed that the Brit- ish farmers shall emigrate in large numbers ; that will not mend matters over there, but will render the situa- Von worse. The manufacturing popu- lation ought to emigrate, and the farmers ought to be pyotected. We had rather feed those manufacturers in this eourtry. It is too far to send dinner to the hands every day across the Atlantic. Let the factory people and theartisans come over to this side, and it will be more convenient all around, slaughtering g § a ee From the New York Observer. Shelter the Horses. Horses should not be left out at night nfter freezing weather sets in, espe- cially in our climate, where a sunny day is followed by high winds and piercing cold at night. Rainy nights tre still worse on them notsufficient heat can he generated to resist the ac- tion of the wind on their wet bodies. They must suffer, and do suffer, Farmers usually say this exposure hardeus the horses, and refer to the Wild animals as having no_ stables. The case ts different ; the wild horses seek a Southern climate, following the pasture ; the bears have thick, shag- BY coats, and slecp in caves, and the smaller animals take refuge in hollow trees, €c.; while the horse, whose blood is’ thinned by the season’s work, und coat worn away by the curry- comb, is left out in the field, with nothing thicker than a mullein-stalk to shield him from the cutting wind, In many parts of the country not a tree is left standing in pasture field. It is not much trouble to put them under the sheds or into the stables, A few nabbins of corn ora handfal of salt will soon teach them mt the bars, and they can be turned out in the morning. Horses thus cared fer will keep in better condition and fast longer than those exposed, If farmers would attend to it, they would not be 80 often seen at the spring sales to replenish their stock, B, to collect — bo American Cheese in England, The “ive Stock Journal, _ periodica', in a notice of a fair in ogland, has the fullowine | to English and American ales ‘ Oar regret ison the score of quali- ty ot mellowness of texture ; ness of flavor and of geueral richness: for im these -points the American cheese on the average is better than it Was last year, while our own is Worse and the judges declare that Without exception tle American cheese is bet. ter than ours. We hay vious occasions pointed out that we in England were losing ground in the race, and that America was grining it, and that the difference Was owing to the improved methods and appliances an Eng- clean- e haye on pre- | fa a Re Athen ange = apne ae aoe j country; and the disparity: is only less marked because the soil, the herbage and the climate in this coun- try are each and al] better than those in America for cheese-making purposes, It i& purely a question, then, of practi- cal ability ; superior management, and wessy so advisedly. ‘Ten ora dozen years ago the quality of Ameri- can cheese sent to this country was such sea smile; but now thesmile « « as to can is on the other side of the fee. that period, indeed, no one thonght fora moment that we had anything to fear from the quality, whateyer we might have from the volume, of American competition in cheese ; but now we are beaten all along the bine. And this is not so much because the quality of English cheese, on the average, is lower than it used to be, as that the quality of American is so greatly improved. Carely inquiry into scientific principles, and scrupu- lous attention to details of manage- ment, are the means by which our American friends have so greatly im- proved their dairy products. As the matter now stunds, we have Ameri- can cheese on the one hand, and Con- tinental butter on the other, promi- nent and popular in our best markets and we have to content overselves with inferior prices. How long this state of things is to continue depends entirely on British cheese and butter makers. That there is a splendid market open and a rising industry to be cultivated is patent to all; but one thing is cerlain—our competitors will not easily be made to relinquish the position’ they have gained. In- creased knowledge, quickened ener- gies and incessant activity in adopt- ing and adapting every improvement in appliances and mores of manage- ment, will alone enable us to compete with suceess; but given these, we will back the British dairy against the world.” ~<—>- of actual farmer A great deal thrown upon the state of agriculture in Great Britain by the returns for the year 1879. It seems therefrom that the decrease has steadily continued, aud that the next Report will contain some-more startling figures than this one. The acreage under corn crops has diminished two per cent. during the yaar. Wheat has fallen off eleven per cent., or 326,000 acres; but the acreage of barley has increased eight per cent. Oats and rye have been less sown. During the last ten years the bread crop of the United Kingdom has decreased twenty-five per cent., light is or:nearly one million acres. Upwards of $475,000,000 are’annually expend- ed on imported agricultural produce, and more than $180,000,000 are spent on meat, dairy, and other provisions im- ported. It is a remission of burdens on land that the British farmers are now calling for to enable them to divert a large portion of this money into their Strange to say, the re- clagration of waste lands in Great Britain has gone on with undimin- energy; 121,000 acres have, during the year, been added to the own purses, ished land under exltivation ; most of the addition, however, is devoted to pas- ture and fruit-growing. —_~. Rotation of Crops. “Can you tell me what is the best order of succession of crops of corn, wheat, oats and hay, &c., in the d-shift system on lower James River lands?” Rozerr B. Tunsraun. [We referred the above to Captain Guy, & practical and successful farmer on James river.—Ep.] You have given mea task which I am incapable of performing, by rea- son of Want of experience and knowl- edge of the soil the gentleman culti- vates. The lower James has quite a variety of soil, and they require differ- ent treatment. I would begin by put- ting all the manure of the farm*on the first lot, and put that in corn; the next year follow with oats, and ag soon as I could get them off, put on peas, and when six irfchos high sow 0a one hundred pounds of plaster per acre, When the peas were ripe enough to eat, plow under and put on twenty or thirty bushels of lime and sow in wheat. Ifthe land is rich and stiff, I would sow one peck of timothy seed on the’ wheat and drag lightly. If the lands are light and thin, 1 would wait until February or March, then harrow and sew one bushel of orchard grass and one gallon of clover and roll.

MISCELLANEOUS. Ina Bear’s Clutches, The Terrible Experience of a Young Woman ta the Wilds of Pennayleaunin, Henter's Ran@g, Pa., November 27.— About a month ago Miss Alice Corey, of German, who ownsa small farm in the Mountains, six miles northwest of this place, Miss Corey is about 16 years old, and her parents are well to do. Her uncle hasa daughter, Clara, also ayed about 16 years. Her father having but one son, Clara, has for years helped to do the work on the farm, tad she has become an expert shot with a rifle. She has a mania for hunting, and fre- quently goes into the forest in search of game. A few days ago Clara invited her cousin ‘9 accompany her on a hunting expedition. They started from the house shortly after weakfast, Alice with a double-barreled gun wad Clara with a rifle. After scouring the Woods for several hours without much suc- fea they visited “Dark Swamp” This wamp embraces several hundred acres, is densely Wooded, and bears are frequently Weathere. The gicls reached the edge of ‘ke swamp at noon, an started into the thicket. They had gone but a short dis- lance, when Miss Corey, who was walking ‘few yards Lehind her cousin, heard crack- ling noise in the bushes a short distance Looking around, she saw a large bear coming toward her. Clara, who frequently, encountered these shaggy Roasters, called to her frightened cousin to ‘me toher. She then drew her rifle to her and, taking deliberate aim at the Wimal, awaited until it came “ Rage, and then fired. tow! of pain and fell b Was a singlo ble-barreled ithin easy The bear uttered a leeding.

(From “Among the Zulus.” IN THE Jaws oF a Lion.—I was out after porcupines, and was lying down one night near a porcupine’s hole, waiting for him to come out. I had no gun, but only my hunt- knife and a large knob kerrie, with which to knock the porcupine on the nose; for that, as you know, kills the porcupine at once. I did not heara sound until I found the grass near me move, and a lion got his paws on me and lifted me up. The brute pressed his claws into me; but, luckily, my leather belt prevented his teeth from damaging me, and he carried me, holding on to my belt and coat. If either of these had given away, I should have been laid hold of in a far more rough manner. A lion is like a cat in one thing—he can hold a live creature in his mouth and not damage it, just as I have seen a cat carry a mouse. I knew the na- I struggled I should have my neck broken or my head mashed in an instant; soI did not struggle, but quietly drew my knife and thought what was best todo. I thought first of trying to strike him to the heart, but I could not reach that part of him, and his skin looked so loose that I could not strike deep enough,carried as I was. I knew it would be life or death with mein an instant, so turning myself a bit, I slashed the lion’s nose and cut it through. The lion dropped me asI would a poisonous snake, and jump- ed away, roaring with pain. He stood for an instant, but asI did not move he did not seem to like to carry me again. More than | once he came up to within a few yards, lick- ing the blood that poured from his nose ; but there I remained “like a stone, and he was fairly afraid to tackle’me again. I knew a buffalo and an ox are very senitive about the nose, and a cat, if just tipped on the nose, can’t stand it, so [thought a lion might be the same, and so it proved. ome rr ior A Doa’s Sacacity.—A remarkable in- stance of canine sagacity and faithfulness was devloped on Tuesday evening in the lost of a children’s department at police headquarters. A policeman who took a little German boy to Matron Webb was closely followed by a little yellow dog, that could not be driven away. The dog was with the child when it was found in the street, and at the Eldridge street po- lice station exhibited the greatest solici- tude in watching over it. He resented any one’s approach to the child excepting the policeman who found it. He would bark and drive others away, and then re- turning to the child would lick its face and caress it. John Wolf, a good-natur: ed butcher of Willet street, claimed the child at police headquarters, and took it away, accompanied by the dog, which ex- hibited the liveliest satisfaction at this re- sult. Mr. Wolf said that the boy, who is 3 years old, strayed with one two years older. They wandered until unable to fiud their way home. ‘The dog seemed to uppreciate this fact, and tugged at the elder child’s clothes until he got him back to the house. Then he disappeared, and seems to have hunted up the other one. Then, unable to lead hlm back, the intel- ligent brute followed and protected him. — New York Sun. —-- “CAROLINA, CAROLINA, HEAVEN's BLEss- INGS ATTEND HER.”—Comparatively tew people in Charlotte, we presume, know that a lady who now resides in this city had per- haps more to do with the intreduction of the song, “The Old North State,”,than any one else, not excepting the author of the words. /fale's weekly (published in Raleigh) tells the story: Our New York correspondent asks about Judge Gaston’s song. The facts about it are these: About the year 1840 a band of strolling Tyrolean musicians passed through Raleigh, and our old friend, Mrs Mary J. Lucas, now of Charlotte, but then teaching music in Raleigh, caught one of the melo- dies to which they sang one of their nation- al songs, and played it by ear on the piano. The venerable and venerated Mrs. Jas. F. Taylor took a fancy to the tune, and asked Judge Gaston to compose a song for it, which he did. The Supreme Court (Ruffin, Danicl and Gaston) usually met for consul- tation in Judge Gaston’s office, on the cor- ner of Hargett and Salisbury street, and it was Uuring a consultation one afternoon that Judge Gaston wrote the song, writing it atintervals during the session of the court. a ee A literary society in Paris with a high- sounding name invited Professor Aytoun to an entertainment in his honor, in rec- oguition of his merits as a poet. This Was rather a weak point Aytoun, and and Paisley being in those days in high repute as an aviry of siuging birds the bait took. His bardship duly arrived, at Paisley Railway Station, and looked around expecting to be received by a de- putation. Observing no one particular he made tracks for Country Square, when he was accosted by a seedy-looking wea- ver. ‘‘Are ye Maister Aytoun?” ‘Yes, that is my name.” “I’m awfu’ gled tae see ye ; come awa’—the Society’s waitin’ ; There's seventy-aught o’ us, and we're a poets.” me The Oxford Torchlight says the farmers of Granville who produce the fine yellow tobacco and sell it for ‘fancy prices,” are greatly indebted to their wives and daugh- ters for their skill displayed in picking, as- sorting and tying up this tobacco.

To bury or not to bury the body of Mr. Coppers, is ex- ercising the miuds of the Roman Catholic cemetery trustees. The courts have ordered them to do what they promised to do when he bought his their sort of Christians, and his body shall not go into their consecrated ground. One of these priests said to a reporter of the Telegram: “Consecrated’ ground, if used for from the‘communion of the Catholic Church, would become desecrated just as if the sanctuary of the church should be defiled by a heinous* crime. To permit these rebellious children of the church or those who are outside its pale to use such ground indiscrimin- ately, would be to surrender our faith in the efficacy and purpcs: of conse- eration. It would be a severance of the sacred link that binds the faithful here on earth to those who have cross- ed the threshold of eternity, and let me tell you this is one of the most cherished tenets of the Church to which she will cling to tie end of time. To this end she sets apart sol- emn ceremonies to carry this consecra- tion into effect, and prescribes speciti- cally that the unworthy shall not en- ter there. . ‘But supposethe trustees should be compelled by the civil power to inter the remains of a person contrary to the discipline of the Church in a certain plot, would that interment affect the consecration of all the other plots ?’ ‘Certainly.’ ‘What course would then remain ? ‘We would withdraw the blessing from the particular grave or plot.’ The Church must maintain its autho- rity under the$divine injunction, ‘He that heareth you heareth Me, and he that despiseth you despiseth Me.’ If she failed to enforce her commands and preserve unsullied her doctrines, she would crumble to pieces.’ ‘There is no method for a compro- mise ?” ‘There can be none. Compromise pertains to things of this world, but the Church of Christ is not of this world. I am simply laying down the doctrine of the universal Church, which is as unchangeable as the Di- vine Founder of the Church.” One of the trustees also said that they have full control of the question asS a matter of business,; but it is a question of Church discipline to be decided by the ecclesiastical authori- ties. Ifthe priest should extract the blessing from they Coppers lot, there are people ignorant enough to suppose that the man would be worse off than he is now in a vault. —______—- oo A SHOEBLACK’s SERMON.—A little shoeblack called at the residence of a clergyman of this city and solicited a piece of bread and some water. The servant was directed to give the child bread from the crumb basket, and as the little fellow was walking slowly away and shifting the gift between his fingers for apiece large enough to chew, the minister called him back and asked him if he had_ever learned to pray. On receiving a negative an- swer, he directed him to say, “Our Father,” but he could not understand the familiarity. “Is it our father— your father-—my father ?” “Why, certainly.” The boy looked at him awhile and commenced crying, at the same time holding up his crust of bread, and exclaiming between his my father; aren’t you ashamed tc give when you have got so many good things for yourself?” —New Orleans ——---- A young lady at Jackson, Tenn., was —_—__——_~+o——_—_——— The New York ladies are again in ladies of the household are the best judges of color, and can “tie a knot” that always * Puggle and fortunate cape. mimandg a premium, dering spirituous liquors to their gen- ‘ re tlemen visitors on New Year’s day. lot.

What have you got in that bundle, boy ?” “Only my clothes, sir.” “Only your clothes; what is that just there?” “Only my book, sir.” “What book 2” “My ible, sir.” “QO, you've got a Bible have you?” said the captain. “We are not much used to Bibles on board ship. Well, let me look at it ;” and turning it over, he saw written on the fly-leaf that it had been presented “as a reward for diligence and good conduct at the Sunday School.” “That will do,” said the captain, and he engaged him without any further delay. oo Protestant Worship at Versailles. ® English ahd continental journals are making note of a fact which is spoken of as the irony of history. In Times it is said “the Protestant Church at Versailles being about to be rebuilt, the congregation through the efforts of M. Jules Favre, who has married a Protestant and is himself an attend- ant, have secured the temporary use of a room under the Ckil de Beeuf,” which is an apartment in the Palace of Verailles. Commenting on this, the Glasgow Heral remarks: “It is difficult to realize that scarce- ly a couple of centuries have elapsed since the time of the Dragonnades— that not two hundred years ago the fairest and most prosperous regions of France were being subject to a visita- tion compared with which Bashi-Ba zouk outrages sink into insignificance, for it was conducted with the sanction of the law and under the blessing of the Church ; its instruments were the soldiers who had sustained the glory of France on a hundred battletields, and its leaders were, in their own be- lief, the only true representatives of the Gospel of peace and goodwill, and labored in an unholy cause with the sanction and approval of the successor of Peter.” This hall where Pasteur Bassa con- ducted Protestant worship on the Ist Sunday of November is the ante- a recent issue of the London XIV ended his life, Sept.

Jules Favre writes to Pasteur Bassa : “T love your church because it de- I love it lastly because it is In a certain seaport in England, a boy was seen many years ago wander- ing among the docks and asleing for | the captain of a vessel, “There is one coming over the side of that ship,” said a sailor who was strolling along smoking his pipe. Jt was a merchant ship, so up to the captain the boy went—thinking all the time what a nice, kind-looking man he was—-and “Well,” said the captain, “and what “You want to. go to, sea, do you? “I should like to go with you, Sir, “Have you ever been tu sea before?” “And what do you want to go to “To send my mother my wages, sir.

It is a remarkable fact, to which such a case calls attention, that however strong may be the cur- rent of public opinion against capital punishment, there are sometimes crimes committed which seem to put an end to controversy, and which really do so for the time. There isa grim general acquiescence in the jus- tice ofthe fate of some murderers. Nobody entreats the Executive to patdon them except those having a personal interest in their perservation. It is alsoa curious and important fact; that while a considerable num- ber—not so large, however, as once the death penalty, all save an incon- siderable few now assent to the epin- ion that while the law remains noth- ing should be allowed to interfere with its stern and unflinching execu- tion. Considering that pertitions for its repeal are now comparatively rare, and that there seems to be hardly any concerted effort to change the law, it is safe to assume that society is not yet ready for so great an alteration of the criminal code, and that capital punishments may be quite consistent with a somewhat higher humanity than has been sometimes suppgsed.” Yes, that is so. << ae A Bear KILLED WITH AN AXE.— Some two weeks since Ben Hannor, of Catawba Creek, Haywood county, killed a black bear weighing 500 Ibs, under the following circumstances : He heard his dogs (which he prizes highly) barking furiously in the woods near his house. With an axe in his hand, he ran to the woods to find his dogs in a deadly struggle with a bear, and into the fight he waded with his axe, dealing such blows to the animal that he caused his bearship to give up the ghost, but not, however, before one of his valuable dogs had been sent to the spirit land by the slapping and hugging powers of the bear.— Morganton Blade. a THE ITEROES oF KinG's MounrTAIN.—The Yorkville Enquirer says that Rev. Robert Lathan, (a gentleman, by the way, who has special qualifications for the work) has be- gun the preparation of a series of sketches of the heroes of King’s Mountain, the first of which has appeared in the Enquirer. It is stated to be the ‘object of the author to present these sketches as fully and truthful- ly as posslble todo so with the limited amount of data at his command; and he de- sires that should any inaccuracies appear in any of them, that he be notified of the same, that he may have an opportunity to investi- gate the subject fully.” We presume that there are many persons in this county who could greatly aid the author in the prosecu- tion of his self-appointed and grateful task, as many of them are descendants of those who were prominent in that great battle, and it is to be hoped that they will under- take to do so.— Charlotte Observer. ——————_—~<r At the annual dinner of the St. An- drew’s Society at Delmonico’s, Chief Jus- tice Daly, in responding to a toast as President of the St. Patrick’s Society, re- ferred to the time when he, as a waif in the streets of Edinburgh, grew hale and hearty upon oatmeal, and said: ‘Since then, I have been back to visit the home of my childhood. In the course of my journey I fell in with an enthusiastic old Scotchman, and after telling him about America concluded with a description af our great metropolis—a very comprehen- sive description, I thought” “Ah,” said the man, “I have nae doot New York is a fine city, but ye’ll think nathin’ o’ it when ye see Dundee.” When I was a Politican, thirty or forty years ago, it was the custom to challenge a voter who was suspected of being incapable of vot- ing, as there was then no system of regis- try. A distinguished Alderman, M. Hox- ie, was about to vote, when a Scotchman, who was in charge of the ballot box, challenged him.

NEWS ITEMS. The Divided House. Sharp Discussion Between the Two Wings of the Virginia Democracy. RicuMonp, December, 12.—The elec- tion of State officers was completed to-day in the General Assembly, the office of State railroad commissioner being the on- ly one to be filled. The Readjusters eleo- ted their candidate, Capt. Asa Rodgers, Jr., over Col. Thomas Carter, the present incumbent, whose term, however, does not expire until April, 1881. The nomi-' nation in the Senate of Col. Carter, a gousin of Gen. Lee, was made by Maj. John W. Daniel, of Lynchbarg, in a speech of about two hours, in the course of which he discussed at length and with scathing invective, the combination existing in the Legislature between the colured Republi- caus and the readjusters. He denounced the party of Readjusters for going beforo the people on one issue, to-wit: A reduc- tion of interest on the public debt, and then after their election by negro votes, gotten by deceiving them into the belief that they were not bound to pay avy of the debt, though enjoying the benefits which contraction conferred upon the State, attempting to perpetuate their rule by turning out all tried officers of the State and planting themselvesou radical ground to purchase the co-operation of the color- ed members. He compared the party to a burglar entering by the back door with askeleton key, then tnrning a dark Jan- tern upon the contents that he might se- cure his plunder. Mr. Riddleberger, of Shenandoah, who is the leader of the Re- adjusters, replied ably, defending his par- ty and turning many of Daniel’s points to their account. He defended Gen. Mahone and his party from the attacks of Major Daniel, and claimed that it was right to divide the spoils they had won. ‘The en- tire session was taken up with the discus- sion, which was marked with great abili- ty on both sides. —- op - FEDERAL CourtT.—The only case tried yesterday was that of R. R. Swepson, of Richmond, Va., (brother of G. W.

The plaintiffs submit- ed that the facts in the casc—as to the manuer in which the bonds were issued— were the same as those in the case of Al- exander against the commissioners of McDowell, reported in 70 North Carolina Reports. A question as to ‘ownership of the bonds was submitted to the jury aud decided in favor of Swepson. His Honor Judge Dick decided that the plaintiff was entitled to the coupons on the bonds. A motion for a mandamus to issue against the commissioners compelling them to levy a tax for the payment of the coupons was continued. The plaintiff is suing for about $5,000. Judge Merrimon appeared for Swepson and Messrs. W. H. Bailey and W. W. Flemming for the defendants.

The difficulty grew out of the election of a pastor—the tyustecs and a minority of the members on one side opposing the election, and the majority of the mem- bers on the other, endeayoring to put their man in position. The two preach- ers in question were the first to com- mence the struggle, for the rostrum. The twp parties were already hot, and this contest for the rostume brought ou a general fight, which, according to the ac- count, was hardly ever excelled in a liquor or gambliyg den. Bibles and hymn books were freely used as weapons.

But to leave North Carolina is a shame and dis- grace to those engaged in it.” Without eadorsing his reflections on other sister States, the writer is unquestionably cor- rect when he says the colored people have always been well treated in North Carolina and “allowed to vote as they please.” Then “‘to carry these people to Indiana for political purposes is a shame ; next year after the election is over, they will be begging for money to return to} their old homes.” <a — Tea Cutturne.—The Agricultural De partment at Washington have distributed throaghont the country more than 100,- 000 tea plants iu the last two years, and have now 120,000 plants which will soon be ready: for distribution.

CS A In the Senate Thursday, took place tho debate on the emigration of negroes from North Carolina to Indiana, in which Mr. Ransom, of North Carolina, participated. The Washington correspondent of the Balti. more Sun thus quotes our senior Senator: _ Mr. Ransom, in view of the special men- tion of his State in the resolution, debated it at considerable length. He was explicit in denying that the colored people of North Carolina are going away to seek other homes in other States for any reason alleged inthe preamble. He quoted from the highest Re- publican authority there in proof of the con- trary, and asked Republican Senators wheth- er they were prepared to deny the truthful- neas of statements of ex-Gov. Holden, or Mr. Smith, the present Republican member from the first district in that State, their own Republican State's attorney, and other high ; Republican evidencé, white and colored that the exodus from North Carolina is not on account of the deprivation or abridy- ment of any right—civil or political. There were some queer-looking Republican sena- torial faces when Mr. Ransom, referring to the oft-repeated argument that the colored people are fleeing from the South to get away from alleged unjust and tyranical Democratic domination, inquired how it Hwas that these peo le were rushing away from Democratic oppression in Seuthern States and into the arms of Democratic love and affection in Indiana ?¢ The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says the occasion — Gave Senator Ransom an opportunity to pay a splendid tribute to the white people of the State of North Carolina for the liber- ality and kindness with which they had treated the colored people. There was not a bitter word in his speech, nor a sentiment that was not broadly American and nation- al.

BONANZA FARMS. about to experience opposition from a quarter never until recently thought of. We advert to the system ndéw growing up in the west and north-western States of mammoth farms owned and run by eapitalists, having the advantage of all the modern improvements in implements —the steam plow, Reapers, Mowers, binders threshers, &c., &c., and railroads to do their hauling. It is no uncommon thing for one of these farms to comprise front 5,000 to 50,000 acres. On sone of them there is not a single resident frmi- ly. They are wheat farms. At the pro- per season the land is seeded, and wheu the crop is ripe, an army of men go and harvest it. All the work is done by day- laborers, who are off after the crop is sowed. The lands yield from 20 to 30 which costs from seven to eight dollars. After counting out all expenses the pro- 50 per cent.on their investment and year’s operations, which is better than any or- dinary business in the country. It is easy to sec thatthis system of farm ing may be extended until it becomes des- tructive, ina great degree, to the small farmers all over the country, so far as the wheat crop is concerned. ‘These spec- ulating farming companies are becoming pumerous. ‘ney were numbered by hundreds in 1370, and now, perhaps by at 75 cts and make 5 per cent. on their investment.

Since the arrival of General Grant on the Pacific coast, our American snobbery, which, for toadyism and sycephancy, has no suc- cessful rival on the globe, has indulged in excesses that will be the theme of unlimited ridicule and boundless contempt for many years to come. When the wife of the Governor of Massa- chusetts, and the better half of the Mayor of Boston, set society by the ears in a serious dispute as to which of the twain had the right to dance the first set with his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, Boston and the Bay State were made almost as ridicu- lous as larger cities, and broader stretches of country have been made to appear by this silly parade of “homage to the greatest living American,” this ascription of glory to as a lineal descendant of Balaain’s animal puts it, in his banquet®speceh at Cincinnati. Millions have been squandered in worth- less show, lexicons have been and brains racked for fulsome laudation, thousands of American citizens, who might ransacked stand erect in their manhood, have seemed ready to rash pell nell over each others’ heads in order to cringe and fawn in the presence of an ex-President of the United States, an ex-President whose administration was a confessed disgrace and palpable deg- radation of his country, an ex President who kept public robbers in the highest places of trust, who gave them greater facilities for stealing as their capacity for robbery im- proved by practice, who debauched the civil service and thereby corrupted the morals of the people, who trampled on the constitu- tion and enforced his unlawful mandates by unconstitutional use of the army, who made his administration such an era of infamy that every honest man would be glad : have oblivion hide it from the gaze of fu- | ture generations, Among the various agencies and appli- ances for “paying homage” to this ex-Presi- dent “who has stood undismayed in the presence of every crowned head in Europe” —like Blind Tom and Tom Thumb—gas- tronomic exercises have been held in best repute. Dinners and banquets of unprece- dented splendor have been tendered and ac- cepted in every city where the hippodrome has exhibited. But by far the most remark- able of all those feasts was that which Mr. Geo. W. Childs, of Philadelphia, spread. We do not know that it was a creator tri- umph of the culinary art than any of the others. We cannot say that the. courses were more numcrous or the viands more costly.

Under instructions from-the Board of Agriculture, f am miataring a by which I hopo to have agencies: lished at an early day ia Englatd,: land, Holland, Switzerlan and countries for procuring immigration to North Carolina, I am also securing — re- daced rates on various steamship lines from Liverpool and other ports. Under See. 16 and 17 of the act establishing, this department the Board is authorized and required to keep a Land and Mining Registry open in this office for the sale of euch lands as our peuple may wish to sell. Accordingly, | have prepared the necessary books, blank forms, explana- tory circulars, &c., for operating the agency. The agency thus established is essen- ltinlly different from any adopted hitherto by any Southern State. It is operated by the Depurtanent of Agriculture, a State Iustitation, whose action is under the di- lrect supervision of the General Assembly, and whose powers are limited and well | defined by luw, and thus carefully guard- ing against the influences, or even pos- sibility, of speculation—a feature which | must commend it to both buyer and sel- ler. | Fhe mode of Operation.—A party wish- ling to offer his lauds for sale through this oftice writes to the Commissoner for blanks. These blanks are sy arranged as to secure a full description of the prop- erty with priecs, terms, é&c. Separate iblanks for Mines, Water-powers, and Farm Lands, are furnished on application. These descriptions are returned to the | Commissioner, with one dollar for regis- tration. A true and correct transeript is made in a book for that purpose. The The lands are then advertised in conven- iient circular fornry, which are distributed throughout this country and such Euro- pean countries as it is desirable to reach, | [f a sale be effected the owner pays to the | Department two and one half per cent. (commission on the grass amount of the sale. If no sale be made, the owner loses only the one dollar paid for registration jiee and for advertising. Thus-our people jare supplied with ascheap and reliable jagency tor tbe sale of their lands. It | will be borne in mind that one of the j most linportant and prominent duties im- | posed by the law on the Department is the collection and pablwation of the sta- ustics and other information in’ relation tu our state, and itis therefore tit and proper that Department should be required under proper restrictions, to. of- icv homes to such, as through its ageney inay be induced to come among us. Now that the work of the the Department in | its varlous branches is organized, it is its! purpose to devote such means and time as it inay command, to the matter of immi- gyrachon. It is the policy of the Board not to eu- courage an influx of a floating, thriftless population. We want no loafers. We want no idlers. We need no commou We want neighbors. those nen who cau bring suftticient buy identify themselves in building up the avd thas us a home, State, The correspondence of this office shows there are thousauds of such men, throngh- fout the North, and especially in England and Scotland, who are anxious to come to | our State.

We can't be zealous in tho suppression of the slave trade; we can protect Amer- ican peasants, and exclaim against the wrongs of Egyptian fellaheen. Itisnottoo much to suppose that we may coucern ourselves as much for millions of our own fellow-subjects, who have shown qualities under their black skins which all Europe admires and applaunds. The spread of the English race over the globe has been attended with a stain which will cling teus through all coming time. In every country to which we have gone, except India, the colored man§has been degraded aud destroyed before us. The American redskin, the Maori, the Tas- manian, the Australian aborigines, are gone, are rapidly going. If half the tales whieh are told are true, the process of ex- termination has been painful and discred- itable. In part, perhaps, the disappear- ance may be due to a law of nature which could not be wholly overcome. There may be men as well as animals, who die, under restraint, and who can thrive only in savage freedom. The eagle will not breed in the cage. It may be the same with the wild races to whom civilization means captivity It may be so, but we do not know that it is, for the attempt to civilize them has never been fairly made, The first result of contact has been too often to poison them with our worst vi- ces, when at once they begin to die off. But, be the case as it may with the red-| skin and the Australian, it is certainly’ not so with the negro. The negro mul- tiplies beside the white man. He ean learn trades and handicrafts; he is the best of servnats; he is faithful, brave, and | in his natural state, honorable ‘aid true. The white man has risen to his present superiority through a hundred genera- tions of cultivation; the negro has not been cultivated at all, and what latent capacity may be in him is yet uncertain. If we are are to justify the violence by which we have become the the lives and fortunes of such vast) num- bers of the natives in South Africa, we must do it by setting ourselves with all our energy to yry whether they are capa- ble of becoming civilized men. It is the least which they deserve at our haids. — J. A. Froude, in Fortnightly Review. —— Mr. Jay Govtn'’s Personau Mr. Gould’s millions now those of Vanderbilt.

W astunGton, December 12.—Mr. Steele (Dem. N. C.), from the committee on ag- ‘viculture, the bill (originally introduced (by Mr. Sapp, of Iowa) to encourage inter- State emigration, authorizing the commis- | sioner of agriculture to collect and ‘pub- ‘lish all facts which may be of value toem- igrants. The repert which accompanied the bill exeited langiter. It started ont by saying thatthe bill was reported back adversely by the unaniwous vote of the committee, and procecded to give the rea- sons for that action. There were than ten thousand millions of facts in the world which would be of value to emi- grants, and if the commissioner's report ishould confine itself to them it would then be somewhat voluminous. Tt would embody facts relative to winter and sum- ner, spring and autumn, vegetables, fruits, rye, and the distilled jniee thereof, cows, mules, and the avimal which the commit- tee’s respect for the American Congress forbidits naming, kangaroos, skunks, &c., and including the respiratory organs of the man in the moon, and 999,000,000 other facts. It would require nearly 1,- (WM) years for the present commissiouer to obtain and publish all the facts; the cost of which publication would exceed one thousand billions of dollars; and, though it would be officially reliable, it would be of little importanee to the present gener- ation. But if, by a year’s dispensation of Divine Providence, the commisssioner should take an admiring view of the standing piles of lif feports, he must be | | | | nore |, Jexensed if he exclaimed in the exubrance ports of the receipts of the various railroads which he owns, he does not go to a club to; carouse, to a banquet to steam up with champaigne, or toa theatre; he retires to the recesses of a peaceful library, and, with his young sons about him, reads the Latin classics, the world forgetting, but not by the world forgot—by a large majority. The next morning early he has the telegraph doing lightning service, and he is sending anelectric shock through Wall street as soon as tle bulls and bears come into that field for pasture. Mr. Gould is a liberal man, although when he makes a bequest he does not have the information written in mani- fold and sent to the newspapers. The first news New York had of his gift tothe Mem- | phis sufferers of $5,000 came trom Memphis, as did the news of the second gift of 35,000. , Mr. Gould, being a sinall man of little phys- ical prowess, is naturally not disposed to. put himself recklessly in the way of the’ horns of the bulls and theclaws of the bears. There are some menin Wall street, as Mr. Gould has reason to know, who wish to re- sent their losses with their fists, and are dis- posed to follow Major Sclova’s example and dispatch him bodily down into a conyeni- ent area. Accordingly Mr. Gould keeps his | ottice guarded by a stout Irishman, who pre- | yents the intrusion of his visitors, and he hes usually a private way to get out into the street. He bas, too,.it is said, a bigTtal- ian book-keeper, who accompanics him on many of his business trips about town, and standa ready to protect his millionaire em- nloyer.— St. Louis Republican, Se = A New WEATHER Tueory.—Rey. Henry Roe, of England, sends to the London Times anew theory ef the weather. He claims to have determined by careful observations, covering nearly thirty years, that dry and wet periods succeed ont another in alter- nate waves of nearly equal length. Not that this equality of duration is absolute, or that the wave of one period is exactly the samo fae simile of that of a corresponding period at an earlier ora later time; but there is enough of regularity and uniformity about the waves to make the family likencss clear- ly discernable to any eye that looks for it. These periods extend over three whole seas for each, and the following simple rules will enable any one to work out the several cyc- les of years for himself: 1. When the num- | ber representing and given year is even and exactly divisible by three, that year 1s the middle one of three cold and wet suinmers. 9. When thenumber represeftting the year igodd and divisible “by three, then, that ar is the middle one of a triad of dry and hot summers. After testing by these rules the successive seasons of the-past tw enty- seven years, and finding the fact to copform to the theory, Mr. Roe predicts that 1881 will be the middle one ina triad @ hot and dry summers. What relations these dry and wet periods have (if any) to the recognized cycles of sun spots he has not made out; nor on- ye does any examination of recent seasons ¢ firm the alledzed harmony of theory with fact. masters of isa man of finer, >. a en ei ‘THE EXCURSION... -. Through. thie Big Tunnel at Last, THE STATE WITHOUT AN EAST OR WEST. All hands Jolly and Jubilant. On Thursday the 18th, Dec., 1879, the first train ef cars from Salisbury, N. ©., passed through the Swannanoa tunnel in the Blue Rridge Mountains, and Janded passengers on the Western side of the water shed, which divides the river 8y8- tem of the Atlastic from that of the Gulf of Mexico. : ; Iu this simple announcement, is found the fulfillment ofa long cherished de- sign, early begun, earried on in the face of prejudice, of slander, of the deferred “which maketh the heart sick,” and at last accomplished by the resolate cour- age and discriminating judgment of men who were for the most part citizens of this community. . Though we were in our cradle when the act of Incorporation was passed, {t causes us a thrill of joy to remember that while the fntervening period would have been a long one, fora richer and more pro- gressive common wealth in which to have accomplished this feat; yet, that for staid, solid, sober, Old North Carolina, it is a great, a very great triumph. What | Italy and France have done in the Alps jor what the government of the U.S. has | done in the Rockies since the eighty or /ninety plain gentlemen, who constitute a | majority of our biennial Legislatures de- termined to dig under the Alleghanies, it | is not pertinent to enquire. | The great truth remains, that we have | done what we set out to, do and ‘Mud | Cut” can hereafter boom at will. Her |future frenks of deviltry will only be “convincing arguments of the magnitude of the difficulties overcome, and instead of making enemies for this great scheme the liberal minded patriotism among our brethren of the East, will prove to them that we have not misrepresented our troubles in the past, nor sought to make , “mountains out of mole hills,” as an ex- cnse for making heavy drains on the common Treasury. Let us therefore devoutly hope that we have heard the last of that avple of dis- cord. Maj. J. W. Wilson, | President of the Company, after untiring exertions to overcome obstacles, thrown in his) way by the recent heavy rains, at) last an- nonueed everything in readiness for the linal passage, andat noon Wednesday the 17th, a special train landed at Morganton en route.

He approached a city before him and knocked for admittance, bat “no one answered bis summons. The gateremained closed against him. Then he criéd aloud for an entrance, but the only response was scores of heads above the wall-on the other side of the gate. At sight of him the owners of the heads set up a dismal howl, and one of them cried, “Why didn’t you notice that big egg I gave you?” At this horrid and most unexpect- ed interrogation, the poor local turned in the direction of the voice to learn its own- er, when another voice shrieked, “Where's that piece you were going to write about my soda fountain?” and closeupon this was the awful demand, “Why did you write‘a piece about old Smith's hens, and never speak of my new gate?” Whatever answer he was going to frame to this appeal was cut short by the astonishing query, “Why did you spell my name wrong in the pro- gramme?” The misserable man turned to flee, when he was rooted to the ground by these terrible demands: “Why did you put my marriage among the deaths?” He was on the point ef saying the foreman did it, when a shrill voice madly cried, “You spoil- ed the sale of my horse by publishing that runaway,” and avother, “IfI catch you alone Pll lick you for what you said about me be- fore the police court.’ Another, “Why didn’t you show up the school question when I told you to?” And this was follow- ed by the voice of a female hysterically ex- claiming, “This is the brute that blotched my poetry and made me ridiculous!” Where upon hundred of voices screamed, ‘Where is my article? Give me back my article!” | And in the midst of the horrid din the poor {wretch awoke, perspiring at every pore and screaming for help.—Standfurd Advocate, ere A high old time was had at the Bethel Hall meeting in Washington, on Monday night, to raise funds for the North Caro- lina negro emigrants still camping out in their poverty. A dozen or more too noi- sy speeghes were made and $60 raised. This is enough to give them a few plates of soup each. The Post says: “A letter from Fred, Douglass was read at the opening cf the meeting in which he advised contributions to be made for these deluded people in the in- terest of liumanity, but strongly con- demued the exodus, and protested strong- ly against any measures looking to the encouragement of such a wild, inipraeti- cable and hopeless scheme.” ae Complete unofficial returns of the vote in Louisiana, received by the New Or- leans Democrat, show 30,751 majority for Wiltz, the Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor, and 13,976 majority for the debt ordinance.

Let us only append a word of caution. Bee-work, like all non-spiritual work of the country parson, should be kept care- fully and resolutely in its place. ‘He that hath the least cure among them hath an awful charge,’ says Milton, of the clergy, in one of his stern but slpendid prose-tracts. There is a real and serious risk in many a case lest the pastor of souls becomes so much of the farmer, or gardener, or Jand- lord, or, on the other hand, so much of the closest-scholar, the first his own people ho arehis ‘awful charge,’ should We do not speak of country parsons who are ‘great’ at soul, and then the souls of the greatly suffer, lawn-tennis, and cricket, and amateur theatricals; but of the many graver minds who, perhaps, under the pres- sure of narrow means, are tempted to debt, and, in fact, although it has been in session but three days, it has already re- ceived donations, subscriptions, &c., ever $500, which, before the end of the aveek, will undoubtedly be made up to $1,000.

Anoth- er recess was now announced; and it was also an- nounced that the bell would ring aguln até p. m. this recess I had the pleasure of enjoying the hospitalities of Professor Wamilton, in the shape of @ most excellent supper. At 6 o’clock the Academy was again filled to the utmost, and the concord of sweet sounds again stir- red the souls of the audience. It was now announc- ed that the remainder of the exercises would con- sist principilly of reci'a’ tons and declamations. To these the audience listened, with the greatest satis- faction, for more than two hours. There were speakers of all ages, from the white-headed urchin of five years, to the more fully developed youth of twenty. All uitted themselves most creditably, showing, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that they had been taught by one who knew his business. At the close of the decIamatory exercises, the audience was asked to vacate the house fora few minutes Only, in order to give the students a chance to mike arrangements for a social promenade. This b -ing done, the arrangements were quickly made, and the promenading, ai once, began. Having enjoyed them- selves in this social capacity for about one hour, the congregation was dismissed, when many of the young gentlemen made a display of their gallantry, by seeing the young ladies home.
