Many instances have been related showing that defections in any one or more of the human senses often re- sults in developing the corresponding inner sense. This has been more fre- quently observed in persons afflicted with loss of sight and hearing. One of the kind is interestingly described in a late issue of the Chicago Herald, which can be safely taken as one of the most remarkable on record. Mr. Henry Hendrickson, born in Norway forty-three years ago, but who has lived in this country forty years, was deprived : fs’) ht when six months old. He was ed cated at the institu- tion for the blind in Janesville, Wis., and is the author of a book entitled “Ont of the Darkness,” somewhat in explanation of the mediumship with which he becoming endowed, although unable to account for it in any manner satisfactory to himself or conformable to the known laws of physical science. The narrative states that he is weil educated, a brilliant conversationalist. and, with glasses which hide his com- p-etely closed eyes, one would scarcely recognize him as a blind man. — For the last twenty years he has seldom used an escort, except when in great haste, and when going on territory entirely strange to him. Many people who have observed the facility with which he mov.s from place to place doubt that he is totally blind, but he has been put under the severest tests, and those who have made the investi- gation are convinced that he cannot see. Deseribing his habits to the reporter he said: “When in a train at “ull speed I can distinguish and count the tele- graph poles easily, and often do it as a pastime, or to determine our speed. OF course I do not see them but I per- ceive them. It is perception. Of course my perceptive qualities are not in the least impaired on account of my blindness. [am not able to explain it, but Tam never in total darkness. — It is the same at midnight as at midday. There is always a bright glow of light surrounding me.” A practical test was made. A thick, heavy cloth was thrown over his head as he sat in his chair. This hung down on all sides to his waist. It was im; ossible for any one to see through it. Then before him or behind hin, it mattered not, an ord nary walking cane wis held fp in various positions, and in answer to the inquiry, “In what posi- tion am I holding it?” he cave prompt 227 correct answers, without a eault | mnistake, sometimes deseribing xexte y, oblique angles. “} have never,” he said, “by ordinary sense of sight seen an object in iny iifé, not the faintest glimmer of one. My sight or discernment does not eome inthat way. ‘This will prove the idea to you: “Take me into a strange room, one that I have never been into, and never heard about, and no matter how dark it is, I can tell you the dimensions of the room very closely. Ido not feel the walls; I will touch nothing; but there is communicated to me by some strange law of percept’un the size and configuration of the room.” He then related that being in New York in 1871, he walked from union square to a friend's house on Forty- first street, a long distance, with several turns and did not make a miss. He said: “I knew the house when I came to it. I did not see it, and yet I did. Tam studying shorthand, and as my hearing is very good, I expect to be- come an expert. I had a little trouble with my writing at first, but am now able to write very well.” Another remarkable illustration of his power to see without eyes is this: If one makes motions in the air like beating the time for a choir, but des- cribing phonetic characters, and inter- prets them. What might be termed a “erucial test” of this was given the Hevald reporter. Mr. Hendrickson further said: ‘I'm a very good skater, and can, when gliding over the ice swiftly, see every particle on the ice, every crack and rough spot, no matter how small and indistinct. The faster I go, the plain- er I can see. Well. I don’t mean that I can see, but I perceive or something. It is light to me, and I discern every- thing.” a The highest salary received by any womanin the English Geeeaph ser- vice is $1.250, and only a person who ihas served ten years as matron can have that. > Cholera and Cold Weather. In a letter to the editor'of the New York Medical Record, Dr. Reginald H. Sayre, of New York, quotes a number of instunces to show that cholera is one of those scourges whose marclr is not stopped by heat or cold, high or low altitudes, dryness or dampness. or any other condition of the weather. He says: “In 1830 the cholera appeared in Mo:cow in the month of October, and continued there until the end of De- cember, in spite of the severities of a Russian winter, and caused the death of 8.189 persons out of a population of 350,000, or about 1 in 30. From Moscow it went north to Yarasy, thence to Tybinsk, sixty leagues noith of Moscow, where it appeared on March 19, 1831, in spite of the ice and snow which covered the ground. “In October, 1831, the cholera ap- peared in Great Britain, and continued there until March, 1832, doing ost of its destruction in December. About one-third of the people affected died. “On March 27, 1882, the disease ap- peared in Paris, and the mortality was so frightful that 861 people died in ten days. “In 1848 the emigrant ship, New York, left Havre on the 9th of No- vember, having no sickness on board, and no cholera being then in Havre. During the voyage the weather be- came bitterly cold. There were some German Eniigrants on board, from a town where cholera had prevailed, who had a trunk which had belonged to a man who diéd of cholera. They open- ed the trunk, took ont the clothing and wore it. On November 22 a child died of cholera, and: seven persons in all suceumbed to it before reaching New York harbor. They were strictly quarantined, and the disease limited to those who died on Staten Island in the quarantine. “About this same time another vessel from Havre, bound for New Orleans, developed the eholera on the twenty- seventh day out, and, owing to imper- fect quarantine regulations, the dis- ease spread rapidly through the town soon after the arrival of the vessel, there being then no other ca es in the United States except those in the quar- antine on Staten Island. From New Orleans the disease traveled to Mem- phis, appearing there toward the end of December, and at St. Louis in the tirst week of January, 1549. Toward March several places in the Upper Mississippi valley were affected, and then gradually the disease moved east through Chicago, which it reached in May, to New York, which became in- fected, thea, awl not till then, although the disease had been imported to the city six months previously, but had noc been allowed to land, and the city in this way kept free from infection until the cholera effected a flank move- ment, by the way cf New Orleans, and attacked her in the rear, having made its progress in spite of the winter, and having attacked the cities through which it passed in the cold weather. “These facts in regard to the preva- lence of choiera in smte of cold, and the well-known futility of a quaran- tine on land, make any attempt to lull the medical profession into a false sense of security fraught with great danger to the country, and I have therefore wished to call attention to the fact that cholera is not stopped by cold, and that to be quarantined effectively it must be arrested in our ports, which can only be done by having a general 2 srantine under the direction of the federal government.” ~<—>- - False Hopes. From the Wilmington Star, _ The New York Herald says the Re- publican plan of campaign looks to the South for success. It says they “will make a vigorous effort next year to carry several of the Seuthern States. Virginia, West Virginia, Alibama, Tennessee and North Carolina are con- sidered by them debatable ground.” When they curry these States we shall expect to see Massachusetts, Minneso- ta, Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin and Ne- braska all aligning themselves with the Democratic States. the Republicans have their eyes fixed so gloatingly upon several Southern States, if not all, should cause those States to forget all things else in a firm purpose to resist the enemy at every point. Chandler shows by his bill that he hopes to capture Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louis- ianaalso. So here are no less than nine States the Radicals are scheming to control, but they will be thwarted. We expect to see Grover Cleveland elected President of the United States by asolid Southern vote, and we hope to see some of the Northwestera States wheeling into the Democratic line. The year 1888 is a very gool year in which to give the old Radical corrupt, moribuud party its quietus. Let the Sonth remain firm. Let Democrats stand like an anvil. Let all issues be pooled, and let every true man _ resolve to fight against the most vicious and venal party in history—a party whose principles are based oa hostility to the people, and whose whole end in ife is to s-cure “the seven loaves and the two tishes.” > aa Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul and never forget to have a penny when all thy exp:n.e; are paid.—- Franklin. : - The fact that: Daniel Manning. Washington Post, Dem. _To rise from obscurity to deserved prominence; to gain wealth and station in an honorable and manly fashion; to occupy and retire from a high official joao with a stainless reputation; to 1ave ne énemies other than political, whose respect, nevertheless, he always commanded, and to enjoy the confi- dence of friends than whom no better ever watched the steadily advancing fortunes of a naturally ambitious man and thoroughly patriotic citizen—in short, to be universally esteemed in life and sincerely regretted in death, has been the lot of Daniel Manning, whose end in this world has come at an age when, in mind and body, he should have been in the fullness of strength and health. Mr. Manning was among the most prominent of the younger men whom Gov. Tilden drew about him and who commended themselves to him by their natural and laudable devotion to poli- tics, their apt kuowledge of men and affairs and their steadfast belief in the trath and practicability of the princi- ples of the Democratic party, and_ his career amply justified the confidence in his tact and ability which that acute judge of men reposed in him. The Federal Treasury had long been declared by Republicans to be way be- yond the rah of any Democrat. So long as they controlled the Executive Department they asserted as the chief reason why they should be continued in power, that the Democratic party knew nothing ot finance and that no Democrat was worthy or capable of holding the responsible position of Sec- retary of the Treasury. Trial of this test was made with Mr. Manning who never before held an of- fice of any kind, local, State, or Federal. In almost as little time as it takes to note it, his conduct as Secretary of the 'reasury was so satisfactory to the people at large, as well as to those supposed to be immediately and particu- larly interested, that the Administra- tion was admitted to be, as it has since continued, strongest in the very quarter where it was alleved it was weakest. eee A Wonderful Boy. Washington (N. C.) Gazette, It was a qneer looking object that an old woman living some miles fiom town exhibited at one of our Dr's offices last Monday. The old woman Mrs. Jemima Gulfillin, explained that the strange piece of humanity was her son, Just 12 years old the Sth of this month. The boy has no arms at. all. his shoulders being as smooth as any part of his body. His toes all point backwards, his heels being in front, and he always walks backward, and with the apparent ease of a profession- al pedestrian. Strange to say he has only one good eye, having been born that way. It was the first time little Neddie, as lis devoted mother calls him, was ever brought to town, and the result of this visitis the strangest thing of all. Neddie had been sutfer- ing with the toothache and was carried to the physician. It was one of his mill teeth, and the most difficult to ex- tract that has ever been attempted +. Washington. The Dr. tried iiuirteen times before he s™ececded, and when he did pull * Le found it to be just six inck-s and a quarter in length, and that ‘the cavity oxtended through to the top of his head, the tooth actually bringing some of the hair with it. The end had the appearance of having been bradded on the top of the head. Ned- die fainted, and the mother went into convalsions, but the Dr. soon restored them to consciousness, and now the boy is doing very well, and talks intel- ligently on the ordinar® hss of the day. It is a very wonderful spectacle and astounds the most learned scien- tists among us. Mrs. Gilfillin is the wife of Mr. Samuel Gilfillin, a very respectable farmer about 13 niles froin this place, as we are informed. A Mill Engine Stands Fire. A very singular incident was noted in connection With a recent mill fire in Carlton, Mich. The building was burning fiercely, but the big engine which drove the machinery continued torun all through the blaze, aud by that means was saved from destruction though these was not a wall standing on any side of it when the fire had fin- ished. The pumps were also running and kept the boiler supplied, so that there could be no explosion. It was a pecu- liar spectacle to see the engine driving away at a slashing speed in the midst of the flames, but the motien somehow saved it from fire. All the rest of the machinery was a total loss. —_—__ _~.»-— A General Tie-up of all the means of public conveyance in a large city, even for a few hours, during a strike of the employes, means a gencral paralyzing of trade and industry for the time being, and is attended with an enormous aggregate loss to the communi- ty. How much more serious to the indi- vidual is the general tie-up of his system, known as constipation, and due to the strike of the most important organs for more prudent treatment and better care. If too long neglected, a torpid or sluggish liver will produce serious forms of kid- ney and liver diseases, malarial trouble and chronic dyspepsia.

Let him carry some of the bundles. He will be de- lighted to do these thimgs, and feel proud that she can depend en. bim.

He spoke to the toast: “Lhe Vic of the States, Indivisable forever.” The World says he provoked a great deal of enthusiasm. Here is his conclusion : “As all roads lead to Rome, and as all streams flow toward the sea, so all that is good and salutary and beneti- cent in the principles of humaa liberty tends towards Demvcracy.

Whose fault it may be £ will not here say, but the fact remains that one por- tion of these States continues to claim the right to interfere in the domestic affairs of another in ways most illegal and offensive. So long as this contin- ues real union cannot come and cannot be looked for. It has been so for the steady adherence to principle by the Democracy (of the North, and their readiness to extend the benefits of the Union to their Southern brethren that brought the Unien sentiment thus near to supremacy. Be it your glorious mission to complete this noblest work -of patriotism.” : fare & as aie The Wilmington Star says: The President in his very able message in- dicated that great financial disturbances were sure to occur, unless the present aceumulation of surplus was stopped. He has alseady had to step in and help tide over a strain or two. But others ‘see the danger and are anxiously work- ‘ing fo avert it. A’ great financial ‘rash will surely come if the folly of the past 33 perasicd in.

A very sad incident occurred on the pavement near the residence of the late Benj. F. Fraley, Friday night last, which resulted in the death of John Murphy, son of the late James Murpby. Murphy, Mamie Leslie and Bob Finger met at the place designated, Sam and Ado! phus Johnston, (brothers) J. C. Brice and Wm. H. Keen. After a brief conversation Murpby inquired if any of the party had any whiskey. They answered no, and Murphy then said if they would hold on there for a few minutes he would go and getsome. He returned with halfa pint, which was handed around and some of the party drank of it. They lingered to- gether there in a jovial way, and Murphy f}drew out his pipe and was filling it with tobacco when the woman knocked it out of his hand or mouth; and as ke s:ouped to pick it up, some one knocked his hat off, and seme one else tapped him behind. But it was play, and no offence was taken. But having straighteaed up, Wm. H. Keen said, “Look out Pat, (Murphy) Vim going to shoot,” and fired, -| Murphy fell. Keen showed great distress, sprang to Murphy and lifted him up, ran fora doctor, went home with Murphy, WhO Was URconscious, and sat up with him that wight.

Stansill, in said act. one or two sections, on which the over- seer and hands were both stubborn and Superior court the overseer was punished and the commissioners sustained; and now we will, I think, have no more troub ec. We have more creeks and miles ot creeks in eur township for its size than any other in the county, and some, I might say all, are flat, sluggish streams, in their natural condition, but although last fall was an exceedingly sickly full for all malarious diseases, yet along those streams that we have gotten in good con- dition, there were no malarious diseases, and the two doctors that lived among us, one has gone to Enochville and the other has sold out and I suppose i'l move to some place where they have not got the creeks cleaned out. We will say that Mt. Ul'a has taken advantage of the act but have not made as yet much headway, owing as I think to having too many commissioners, viz, one board on each stream. But they talk of going ahead now since the act has been tested by us in the superior court and have been’ sus- tained. They will havea meeting next Saturday to make arrangements fora new start, In conclusion on this matter Iam thor- oughly satistied that if all the streams in the county were preperly ditched and cleaned out and adiacent lowlands drain- ed and cleaned up,it would save the peo- ple = or } less of their doctor bills, besides the immense amount of suffering it would obviate, and, ina pecuniary point, they would make 100,00@ bushels of corn or that many tons of hay; or if used as pas- ture, beef and butter would abound now fur we have the best laws to accomplish this object, while chapter 149 of 1885 is thought to be the only law of the kind by some under which our work has been done. But I think the general law on the subject, passed by the last legislature 1887, found on page 5@8 and chapter 267. I think this law much the shortest and has so much less machinery, and is more explicit and effectual, Some may object on account of having to deposit $25 by che petitioners, But this will in no case ve aloss to them of anything but the interest for a short time only, for no sane mau will say (even without examining the creeks) that any “ereek will be greatly improved by ditching and e@’can- ing both to health and agriculture.

For géenetations the main ideain the treatment of organic heart disease has been physical rest to diminish the labor of the damaged organ. We have been in the habit of prohibiting all forms of active labor to the sufferers from cardiac disease, and the principle of our treatment has been the unex- pressed but ever present idea, accepted ws a self-evident axiom, that perfect rest was the best means of securing muscular compensation. — Professor Oetel’s experiments and results have tome with startling surprise upon those who forgot to distinguish between a useful principle and the exceptions Which the multifornity of dise:se renders it imperative to recognize. As is well known, he treats a cousider- able proportion of vases ‘of organic heart disease by regulated exercise; es- pecially graduated ascent of mounéains and his results place the value of lus method beyond reasonable dispute. There is nothing really surprising either in his treatment or the success which has attended it. A little retlee- tion will suffice to convince us that, while rest is often useful, and indeed quite indispensable, in heart disease, there are yet many cases in which well regulated exercise will improve the nutrition of the cardiac muscle, as of the rest of the muscular system, and hence tend to the promotion of circu- .

Dear, if love Were mine to give As a curl of hair, Flower, or ring, or anything Fair, for you to wear— — Oh, how gladly wonld my hand Yield the longed-for grace, Not to stay another day From its rightful place. If my life were all my own, Mine, to keep or spend, I would dare its best to share With you to the end. For your good, oh, trusting heart, I could toil and wait, Nor repine, if it were mine, -Thus to mold our fate. But once, long ago, there stood At my open door, One who came to speak my nanie, Then I heard no more, Save my heart-beats, loud and fast! Love and life were gone In their best, to greet the guest, At my threshold stone. Now, dear, [may weep for you, Or in silence pray : Something true, to say or do, I must find a way, So you will not grieve nor chide, Nor be sad, bat live, Knowing here, I give you dear, All I have to give. . — Madeline S, Bridges. Sw 0 What Keeps Some Young Men from ising in the World. Some of the greatest drawbacks to the success of young men arise from tueir setf-conceit and their unwilling- ness to accept advice from persons of experience. In fact, so common is the fullacy of self-sufficient smartness among the youthful, and the corres- ponding disregard of advice from the aged, that it would almost appear as if our race were, in this manner, doomed to be retarded in its advancement. If each generation were to start with the fail advantage of the experience of the one which preceded it, it is impossible and happiness at which mankind would ultimately arrive. But it seems to be as difficult to endow with the wisdom” of threescore =the youth of five-and-twenty as it is “to train the muscles of a child of six years old to the energy and endurance ofa full- grown man. Nevertheless, we do not despond over the case of these who naturally repel admonitions from their predecessors. There is at least one mediam through which good counsel presents itself with- out any circumstance which predis- poses men to despise it, and that is the newspapers. It is from the reiterated efforts of the press that we are princi- pally to look for improvement in this respect. In proportion as the young indulge in judicious reading they will | iearn to reflect soundly, and will see the absurdity of closing their under- standings against the experience of those who have gone before them. In the same measure, by being made cx- tensively acquainted with the abilities of others they will be led to think much less cf their own acquirements, and to put less value on their own capabilities of action. Occasionally, we see young men who seem to step at once, as it wereinto the sagacity of the aged,and it is always seen that they prosper in proportion ‘as their conduct is regulated by the ad- monitions of prudence. They engage in_ their occupations with coolness and deliberation, patiently waiting for op- portunities of well-doing, and taking care to avoid those false steps which precipitate others from the eminence they have partially gained. While the greater proportion of the young and thoughtiess are dropping aside out of the ranks and disappearing, they are steadily pursuing their way, shutting their eyes and their ears against the various allurements that beset them, a dso, by the time they have reached a mature manhood. they are already in the possession of those comforts and that honorable station that are the re- judginent.—N. Y. Ledger. i AO by a Panther. A heavy freight train on the Bar- lington & Missouri road, near Minden, Neb., came to a standstill the other night, owing to the engine slipping an eccentric, and Hagineer Markham and his fireman got out to repair damages. As they were working they heard a ter- rific yell, and then a panther sprang on the engineer, knocking him down, he fireman struck the animal on the head with a wrench, and it quit Mark- bam and attacked the fireman. This gave the engineer time to draw his re- volver, and he put a bullet through the brute’s head, killing it outright. It was six fect long and weighed 200 pounds. Both men weve badly scratch- ed.

In none of our vegetables has the improvement resulting from cultivation aaa selection been more marked than in the tomatoe. Persons now living remember its introduction upon the table. Known first as the love apple and associated by botanists with the poison members of its order, it was long regarded with suspicion. It be- longs to the Solanacea or night-shade family, which includes ae the Irish tato, egg-plant, r, Jamestown eee iskees and ee of other familiar plants. It is a native of the tropical regions of South America, was introduced into Europe in 1596 as an ornament to flower gardens, but came into general use Jess than half a cen- tury ago. At first the fruit was small, resembling what is known as the plum or cherry tomato; now it is second only to the lrish potato in the universality of itsconsumption. The improvement in varieties within the last twenty years has been most gratifying. It seems now that perfection has been reached. Few persons realize the marked difference in the quality and flavor of these varieties. An experi- mental test ofgsome twenty varieties by a “testing committee” this summer, developed the fact that the difference in flavor in the varieties was almost as marked as in the apple or pear. I commenced writing for the pur- pose of stating a few practical facts gathered from experience and will re- turn to my subject. In order to have the crop of tomatoes continuons through our long seasons, I find two plans successful: 1. In early spring dig deep holes apply green cotton seed or well-rotted lot manure and set the plants a foot below the general surface. As the plants grow fill the holes till the sur- tace is level. The first plants set last spring are now (Oct. 4) bearing as fine specimens as in June last. 2. Continue to plant through the summer, making the last pl nting, transphinting, early in August. Iam now gathering fine specimens from August plants. When there is danger of frost lift the vines with their freight of green fruit and hang under shelter. The tomatves will continue to ripen for six weeks. I have had them by this means late in December.—South- ern Cultivator. The Flea. Fleas love dirt, and in it they flourish spite of St. Dominic’s curse and their unclean haunts, they are interesting little fellows. Let us put one under the microscepe. It seems to be clothed ina sort of armor formed of brown overlapp-ng plates, that are so exceed- ingly tough as to be almost indestruc- tible. Its head is small and very thin, and it hasa single eye upon each side. This eye is black, and the rays of light scintillate within it like sparks of fire. Puget managed to look through one of these eyes, and he found that it di- minished objects in size, while it mul- tiplied in number—a man appearing of a candle becoming a thousand tiny stars,. F 0 t' e shape of its head, and for other reasons, the flea is supposed to use only one eye atatime. ‘I'he of- aud multiply most abundantly.

First, about a dozen men shoved the . wagon hehind; but even then, by firmly plant- ing his fore feet, the determined beast managed to resist progression, although I thought the breeching would burst. An old piece of cloth was then careful- ly tied over his eyes, and, after a short pause, he was gently requested to pro- ceed; but he stood still, and the crowd jeered. Next, a rather consequential person came forward, and, standiug on tiptoe, so that he. could reach the horse's ear, whigpered into it something which he evidently thought would have an instantaneous and miraculous effect; but the animal was deaf to thig syren, and the consequential person slunk off, ursued by the sarcasms of a boot- lack. The driver was now in a rage twhich vented itself in blows and impre- cations, But just as he was passing from this condition into one of stony despair, a” quiet young fellow waved him aside, unharnessed the horse, took him out of the shafts, and, after leading him across the street and back, reharnessed him and handed the reins to the driver who now drove him off without the least trouble. The expedient was simple but effective, and it suggests what is, I believe, the trae hilosophy of the balky horse. The .effort should be not to overcome his fixed: idea of standing still, but to supplant that no- tion by diverting his attention to some- thing else. > *<>-- aa — Making a Million in Ten Years. Speaking about brain troubles, Dr. William A. Hammond said to a New York Mail and Express reporter: “I have in mind the case of a man who, after several years of hard work ina small country town, had accumulated about $100,000. With this amount of money he might have been content, for it made him the riche:. man in_ his town, but, actuated by an ambition to make a greater figure in the world and to accumulate more wealth, he determ- ined to move to New York and make $1,000,000 in ten years, intending then to retire from business and live a life of elegant leisure. He spent his days in Wall street, his evenings in the cor- ridors of hotels, carrying on there the work of the day, and going home near midnight to get only an hour or two of unrefreshing sleep. At the end of ten years he had accumulated his mil- lion of dollars, not, however, with ease and comfort to himself, but suffering from insomnia, pains in his back, neuralgia in various parts of his body, dyspepsia in its most aggravated forin, aud other evidences that the process of disintegration was going on at a great- er rate than was recuperation. He {made .his arrangements for retiring from business, and gave a dinner party to celebrate the event. That night he exhibited most unequivocal symptoms of mental derangement. Insanity in one of its most pronounced types was developed, and before the week was out he was an inmate of a lunatic asylum. ‘'Hehad made his miliion* dollars for I was attracted yesterday by a con- siderable gathering of people in a down- fensive weapon of the flea is composed | other people, for all he got out of it of two palpi, or feelers, two piercers,| W#S his board and clothes ia an asylum a 9 col ~ . . .

Years ago when I 1 ved in ae says a correspondent, the sport or test. of strength known as finger palling» was no uncommon contest among so- ~ called athletes. Indeed it became quite ~ as popular as sprinting or wresth the present time, and the champion finger puller was regarded with tained for a crack baseball player. One man ut Saginaw had never known de- * feat and was cock champion of ‘the North. The contests were co: by each man gripping the gers in the manner known to rene as “butchers grip,” the winner being he who pulled out his adversary’s fingers to their natural position. Finally some one imported Canadian Indian to strive against the inaw champi and he was a SaeutGEL asiegmn ‘ for he had met with an aceident that had crippled his right hand, the ten- dons of the fingers being contracted sq that they could not be opelied without. breaking them, Well, the stragg came, but the Indian did net 1 in, tor the Saginaw men vig. himself ‘anc ulled so hard that he actually pulled the Canadian’s fingers by the roots. This is a true story, and one, I thiak, not generally known to professionals of muscular tendencies. Why Men Fail. I’ew men come up to their hig‘est measure of — success.

It is interest- ing to put several in a glass, and, giv- ing them a piece of raw meat, see them all standing on their hind legs to suck up its juices, Their manner of breathing is still undetermined, but it is thought most probable that they receive airinto their dies through small holes at the’ ends of the palpi. The legs of a flea are marvels of strength and elasticity. They are join- ed tu the body by long tendons that act like wire springs. In making its leap, which, it is said, ean cover two hundred times its own length, the flea draws the leg close up to the body, and then throws it out with great force; but the impulse proceeds from the first joint alone, the others only increasing it by their stretch while the leap is being made. —~@me—--- American Pearls. Only one pearl of any kind is found in a hundred shells, and usually one in a thousand of any value,so that it is not a very profitable pursuit. The in- discriminate killing off of the muscles in fishing and by poisonous sewage will eventually lead to their extermi- nation. The greatest destroyers, how- ever, are tle hogs, which kill off whole banks in a single low tide. Pearls are also secreted by the common hardshell clam, these are usually white, tinged with purple, or almost black. The lut- ter colors are preferred, although they have little value. They sell at from $1 to $100 each, and are found as large as a haztenut. The common couch, fished extensively on the Florida coast for bait, often contains the so- called pink pearls. Although they ere not true pearls, they have sold at $1,000 each.

Of late years much has been said and written about this, and 1] have read many comments that my experience tells me are wrong. I believe it is a disease of the brain which has its origin in the teeth. The disease, however, is not near as preva- Jent as some think, and hundreds of dogs have been killed through igno- rance. <A dog may get the toothache just the same as a man, and if the tooth is decayed, or the nerve iffected, a secretion is formed in the gums. The pain sets the dog crazy, and he will mope around for several days and want to keep to himself. The dog's mouth is filled with minute blood ves- sels, and the secretion formed gets into these vessels and contaminates the blood. All this time the dog is think- ing only of the pain, and it finally be- comes so acute as to destroy his reason, and he becomes crazy, or rabid, as it is eall:d. When his bleod is pci o el by this secretion he is dangerous, and ‘s linble to contaminate others, no matter how slight the wound is. If a dog is really mad, or shows any sign of the disease, the only safe way is to kili hins as quickly and painlessly as possible. eS a IT have not used all of one botte yet.

Inthe centre of a county that borders ou the Yadkin river and pro- duces more smal] grain than any other county in the State, that has a wide re- putation as a cattle and grass county, and in minera's probably has no equal within the State. We have an admirable system of water works, consisting of a tank one hundred feet high in the very heart of our town, which gives a pressure of 45 pounds to the square inch, with hydrants on every corner; the water is good and is furnished at very low rates. Our streets are lit by gas, and there is a probability that we will have electric lights in the near future.

That we have grown in the past year and are growing is apparent to all, by the buiklings going up around us and the contracts being let every week for mere. Salisbury to-day is very differ- ent from the Salisbury of five years ago. Atthat time what we now call Brooklyn, east of the N. C. R.

We cas not begin to enumerate the new buildings that have sprung up in the past year, neither would we dare say how much the population has increased, but that it has increased and largely too, we all now. 'The Outlook. With all our advantages, with the steady growth that has been going on in the past few years, with all the crude articles of commerce at our doors ready to be manufactured, and with the almost inexhaustable forests of timber near us, surcly the outlook is good. What we need is capital from outside, capital to manufacture our timber into wagous, spekes, buckets, farming imple- ments, and cverything else that can be made out of wood, capital to build woolen mills, more cotten mills and cotton seed oil mills, capital to turn all the crude ar- ticles that are now being lost into manu- factured goods.

K. BRUNER EDITOR, RALEIGH, N. C. * = Montzomery County Gold Mines. Probubby no county in the State is as rich in ‘yravel’” mines as the above named, and there is certainly no better field within our borders for the prospec- tor. In certain parts of the county near- ly every person that owns one hundred acres of land owns a Gold Mine, and we have frequently been offered by owners of land, ten, fifteen and twenty acres if we could find them a pan full of dirt on their property that they could not find a color of gold in. And yet the mines of Montgomery county, taken as a whole, are probably less developed than those of any other county in theState. Very few of these mipes have been worked in any Other way than by the pan, rocker and sluice box. Among the mines that are now, and have been lately, at work first in the extent of its workings comes THE RUSSELL. This mine is owned by an English company and is equipped with a twenty- stamp mill and all the other necessary machinery, it is situated near the north- ern boundry of the county. The ore body is an enormous bed of low grade talcose-schist ore with a small per cent of sulphurets. It is worked by an open cut and the cost of mining is very: small. This mine has been running for’ some time, up to the holidays, and it is report- ed in the neighborhood that they have been milling very good ore. This com- pany had got considerably behind in money matters, but notices were posted up during the holidays stating that everything would be settled on the second day of January, and doubtless by this time everything is straight and they are running again on full time. THE APPALACHIAN, a few miles south of the Russell, has been running for several months, and is reported as milling pay ore. THE SAM CHRISTIAN MINE, in the lower part of the county, is one of the best known and has been one of the best producing ‘“‘yravel’? mines in the State. This property has recently been purchased by an English company, and tuey propose putting up a powerful plant in the spring for furnishing water at the mines for hydraulic purposes; in the mean time a small force is employed in washing with very flattcring results. THE BEAVER DAM mining property is situated in the north- western part of the county and consists of a large body of alluvial deposits. Large quantities of gold haye been taken work has been done for several years. There is a boiler and pump on the ground used for hydraulic purposes. stand that this property is to be sold to the highest bidder in a short time. BUNNEL MOUNTAIN, one mile from Uwharrie postoffice, has been worked considerably in the past, at one time with pumps, but nothing has been done on this property to amount to anything for several years. ; There are a great many fine prospects in Montgomery that have not been sufli- ciently opened to command much atten- tion but that will bear investigating; among them are a group in the Island Creek neighborhood consisting of the Harbin, Spanish Oak Gap, Island Creck, Deep Flat and Pear Tree Hill. Others in the county that have been worked to some extent are the Carter, Bright, Worth, Saunders, Morris Mountain and Little Lead. f During a trip a short time ago we visited the “Lish”’ mine, anew discovery, on the property of Mr. Elisha Moore, but owing to the water could not make any examination of it, in fact it is in no shape to be examined, not being opened to any extent. Mr. Moore claims a vein of at least eight feet width of a chl ritic schist. Almost nothing has been done in the way of opening it. On this same property is a side hillin cultivation that pans splendidly in fine gold, and we have not the least doubt that with the proper machinery it would pay for work- ing handsomely. a Now “Watchman,” if you really mean busines und are anxious to stick your knife into wrongdoers, let us hear your views on the little game now going on at Gonessee.—London, Eng., Money, Dec. 25 Phe affairs of this company are kept fromthe public view.

Save Your Crop. From the N, C. Bulletin, From the statistics issued by the De- partment of Agriculture at Washing- ton, the present corn crop of the United States amounts to 1,453,000,000 bush- els, which is shorter by two millions of bushels than last year’s crop, and shorter than any crop since 1881. The crop in this State is unusually large. It behooves the farmers of North Caro- lina to guard well their corn supply. The price must be greater the coming summer, and necessarily higher than at present. A word to the wise is suf- ficient. JoHN RoBINSON, Commissioner. Extract from the Report of the Commis- sioner of Agriculture To the Honorable Board of Agriculture: GENTLEMEN :—Since the last meet- ing of the Board s me changes have occurred in the officers of this depart- ment. The resignation of Dr. Dabney was tendered, and accepted by the Ex- ecutive Committee, he having been called to another field of labor. Dr. H. B. Battle, his first assistant chemist, was chosen by your Executive Committee to direct the work of the Station until this meeting of the Board; his report will explain what has been done in that line. The Secretary was directed by \your Executive Committee to advertise for applicants to fill the position of Director, which was done. These advertisements appeared in the Raleigh News and Observer; in Science and in the Nat-on, both of New York. A number of applications are in the hands of the Secretary for the consid- eration of the Board. The Executive Committee also thought it wise to retain Mr. Whitney until this meeting, whose resignation was accepted at the last meeting of the board, and he has continued the work at the Farm as formerly. Our Inspector of Fertilizers has dili- gently searched the Piedmont section of the State, where fertilizers are sold in the fall, and drew samples from -twenty-seven brands of fertilizers, all of which have been analyzed and pub- lished in the November Bulletin. ‘This early publication has doubtless proved of great service to the farmers in buy- ing fertilizers for their small grain crops; lust year these analyses were not given to the public until the spring which caused some complaint. Five brands of fertilizers have been licensed this fall and at least two others will be licensed during this month. The mua- jority of the licenses expire in January and February. The inspector discovered and repert- ed to this department the sale of an unlicensed brand of fertilizer at Wins- ton. Proper notice was served the manufacturer who failed to respond by taking out license, when I seized the goods (neurly a car load) and placed the case in the hands of Messrs. Wat- son & Buxton, attorneys at law, of that place, The agents begged that we al- low immediate sale of fertilizers and that the money derived from such sale be placed in bank awaiting a decision of the courts in this case. There are two other causes in litigation; one at Staley, in Randolph county, and the other at Scotland Neck, in) Halifax county. It is extremely desirable that they should be settled, and I desire the sense of the Board as to these matters. FiRMERS’ INSTITUTES. By the direction of the Boxrd I have visited a number of Farmers’ Institutes held in the State; indeed, all where it was possible for me to attend, only missing the one held at Lexington, which came in conflict with an insti- tute held at Warrenton, and as it would be impossible for me to visit each I deemed it advisable to attend at War- renton, as I had never been in that sec- tion of the State. At all of these In- stitutes I was pleased to find the live- liest interest manifested in all topics pertaining to agriculture. The atten- dance was generally large upon these exercises and composed of the best peo- le of the sections in which they were eld. The interest manifested desire to acquire information, and was un- abating to the close. This was suffi- cient proof that they deemed these exercises very important. The essays and lectures were of un eminently prac: tical nature and were heard with an evident desire for improvement. They treated upon the cultivation of clover, the grasses and the forage crops; im- proved agriculture, dairying, stock rais- ing &c. These institutesare of | sting benefit to every section in which they are held. I would that every county in the State could be induced to hold one or more in their borders, and to this end | shall ask the co-operation of the farmers of the several counties in which institutes have not been held. It is my purpose to organize every county in the State, believing that itis one of the best appointed means for the elevation and enlightenment of the farmer's calling. Dr. Dabney, in a recent report, said : “The first ones should be held where the home farmers take the most inter- est in such matters and will help most in it. As the law reads, this Board is merely to “assist” in holding these institutes by sending its representa- tives. It is not desirable that the + N. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY nineteen te ee TE os Board's representatives should do all the work or-be {0 prominent in these meetings. The locul farmers should be responsible for their organization and management.” This policy has been in the main ad- hered to, though effort has been made to organize institutes where none have a met ee with no success. I ve also visited all ot therin called by farmers whew the wer fo doso. In this way I have Vidlted the counties of Buncombe, Catawba, Guil- ford, Gaston, Cabarrus, Moore, Union, Warren, Pender, Wayne, Cumberland, Rockingham, Nash, Chatham and Wake. [am warranted in the asser- tion that the farmers of the State are in a very hopeful condition and their future prospect encouraging. Crops generally have been good, sapectally corn, which is admitted to be the largest -evet produced in the State. Farmers generally are bonyant with future prospects. They have “more home supplies than for years previous, and will, of necessity, be more indepen- dent an! prosperous if they continue the practice of frugality and look to the production of home supplies as the true basis of all permanent successful agriculture. _— Experiment Farm. Part of the business transacted at the December meeting of the Board of Ag- riculture was the discontinuance of scientific work at the Experiment Farm. On motion of Mr. Leazar the following resolution was adopted : “The Board of Agriculture regret the necessity of suspending scientific ex- perimeuts at the Farm. This necessity arises from the fact that our income is reduced about one-half. It is our purpose to keep the property in good condition, in the meantime to make it self-sustaining, and to reinstitute scien- tifie work so soon as we can procure the means either from Congress or otherwise,” Fine Prospects for the Agricultural De- partment. From the Raleigh News and Observer. Hon. Jno. S. Henderson of Salis- bury, writing to Secretary Bruner of the State Agricultural’ Department, says : uy am assuréd that funds fer the Experimental Stations will be amply provided for in the urgent deficiency bill. This deficiency will be hurried through Congress in a few days.” In case the deficiency bill 13 passed with a provision for experiment sta- tions, the Hatch bill which has already passed Congress will become a_ law. The Hatch bill provides for an annual appropriation of $15,000 from the U. S. Government to every experiment station in the United States. The North Carolina experiment station will of course come in for that amount an- nually, and in view of the present strained financial ‘status of the State Agricultural Department, the passage of the bill would be a stupendously good thing for it, inasmuch as the ex- penses of the experiment station,which is a sub-departenent of the Department of Agriculture, would be lifted by the U.S. appropriation and the money now devoted to the station by the Depart- ment could be appropriated for much needed matters. EE OOO How He Convicted Himself. The biblical truth “Out of thy own mouth shalt thou be condemned” was strikingly verified in the case of a con- ductor on 2 prominent line running out of St. Louis. He had been system- atically defrauding his company, and his peculations were -discovered in rather a peculiar way. Hig train pass- ed the division headquarters at night, and as he stepped into the train dispatch- er's office to register his train, he turn- ed into the division superintendent's room, and was seen to have a memo- randum book in his hand. After ex- changing a few words with the super- intendent on business matters, he turned and left the office, but before doing so inadvertently dropped his memorandum and left without noticing his loss. Before pulling out he dis- covered that his memorandum book was missing, and he hurriedly entered the telegraph and _ superintendent's oftice in search of the little book, but without success, and was compeiled to board his train and leave without if. | He had evineed so much anxiety in searching for his book that after his departure the superintendent made a search for it himself, and finally found it under some papers on the floor. Upon opening it, he found whee this conductor had been keeping a ledger account with the company, showing the amounts collected, the amounts turned in and the amounts appropri- ated by himself, which were tnuch larger than the portion given the com- pany. This proved very interesting reading to the superintendent, who promptly wired the conductor down the line that he had found his book. The conductor never answered, and when the time came for him to take out his train again he did not appear, although no notice of discharge had been sent him.—Globe-Democrat. or ea ea A model prayer.—‘Lord help me.” The first word laying hold on heaven, the last touching the earth, the two bound together by a golden link.— Hastings. tions have been ——— : : rs ———— oa _ Boys ‘as Inventors. Some of the most important inven- Hons | been the work of ‘mere boys. The invention of the valve motion to the steam ergine was made by a boy. Watt left the engine in a very incom- lete condition, from the fact that he ad no way to open or close the valves, except A meuhs of levers operated by hand. He set up a large engine atone of the mines, and a boy was hired to work these valve levers. Although this was not hard work, yet it required his constant attagtion. As he was working these levers, he-saw the parts of the engine moved in the right di- rection, and at the exact time he had to open or close the valves. He produced a lony, strong cord, and made one end fast to the proper part of the engine aud the other end to the valve leaver Then he had the perfect satisfaction of seeing the en- gine move off with perfect regularity of motion. A short time after the fore- man came around and saw the boy play- ing marbles at the door. Looking at the engine he saw the ingenuity of the boy, and also the advantye of so great an invention. Mr. Watt then carried out the boy’s inventive genius ina practical form, and made the steam en- gine a perfect automatic working ma- chine. The power loom is the invention of a farmer boy, who had never seen or heard of such athing. He cut out one with a knife, and afterhe had got ail done he with great enthusiasm showed it to his father, who at once kicked it to pieces, saying that he would have no boy about him who would spend his time on such foolish things. The boy was afterward apprenticed to a black- smith, and he soon found that his new master was kind and took a lively in- terest in him. He made a loom of what was left of the one his father had broken up, which he showed to his mas- ter. The blacksmith saw that he had no common boy for an apprentice, and that the invention was a very valuable one. He immedialty had a loom construct- ed under the supervision of the boy. It worked to their perfect satisfaction, and so the blacksmith furnished the means to maufacture the looms the boy to receive half the profits. In about a year the blacksmith wrote to the boy's father that he should visit him and bring with him a wealthy gentleman, who was the inventor of the celebrated poor loom. You may able to judge the as- tonishment of the old man when his son was presented as the inventor, who told him that the loom was the same as the model he (his father) had kick- ed to pieces a year before.—Exchange. ——— | The Sharpshgoter's Last Shot. Once during the war, askirmish line, composed mainly of the Forty-eighth Illinois, was thrown out in advance of our army, lying near Jackson, Miss., confronting Gen. Joseph Johnston. The men had constructed a few tem rary shelters by standing rails GRRE leaning against each other, the tops being bound together. Behind one of these little fortresses, thongh in a rather exposed position, Capt. F. D. Stephenson, of the Forty-eighth, was sitting on an upturned bucket,taking his morning coffee. As he threw back his head in drinking. a whiz wis heard, and a ball sped by within an inch o h's face, directly acrcss the eyes, taking effect in a little dogwood tree beside him. The captain rose quietly, and, taking a ramrod, stuck it in the ground 8) that its top would be in the space lately occupied by his nose; he then went behind the tree and sighted from the bullet hole over the top of the rod, thus ascertaining the direction taken by the ball in its flight. Directly in this line rose the top of a large oak, with great sheets and streamers of southern moss hanging dependent from its boughs. “Boys,” said Stephenson, evenly, “our men is among the branches of that tree yonder. Now,” taking a soldier's cap and placing it on the end of a knotted stick, “you all load up, and lay low. When I shove this hat into view he will fire again. There's your chance, let drive.” When all was ready, he slowly elevated the cap until just in sight from the tress. A puff of white smoke burst from its leaves, and the cap turned round on its stick sup- port, aR the daylight through a large jagged hole in the crown. A moment later six Springfield rifies spoke from the rail pile, and a man drop from the oak tree, clutching wildly at moas ani branches as he fell. His last shot was fired —The <Argo- naut, A word from Peter Cooper: ‘In al] towns where a newspaper is published, every man should advertise in it, even if nothing more than a card stating his name and the business he is engaged in.

The Western Mail first published the following remarkable story of a brave dog: On December 29 last the steaniship Muley Hassan was passing through the Straits of. Gibralter, when Captain Thomson wenton deck with his retriever Nellie. The ious an- imal at once ran to the rail of the vex sel, raised nerself on her fore paws, au commenced to whine. The captain looked, but could see nothing. The dog, however, got more and more finally jumped overboard, and swam astern. The engines were stopped, and a boat lowered, when the dog was dis- covered, firmly holding the collar of the coat of a drowning man, who was lying across two oars. It was afte as- certained that he was the only survivor from a Spainsh revenue felucca, which had been upset in a squall, and that he had been in the water, four hours when. rescued. It would have been impossi- ble for him to have survived much longer. Both man and deg were in a very exhusted condition when taken om board Muley Hassan. The above in- cident has formed the subjeet of a pre-- sentation to Captain Thomson of a sil- ver medal and diploma, for his ne try and heroism in saving the life of the poor Spaniard. Without in the least wishing to depreciate Captain Thom- son’s effort or deserts, we must say that Nellie most certainly deserves to have some sort of honor conferred upon her, and that she certainly ought abe taal ed among the historical who have earned name and fame for heroic deeds, - —Swiss Gross. The President's Coachman. | Albert Hawkins, a muscular colored man, born a slave in Anne Arundel County, Md., in his boyhood and youth was quite a local celebrity of the racing and fashionable stables. Soon after the war General Grant heard of his skill with horses. He sent for him and put him in charge of his stables. When he became President he put him in charge of the stables of the Exeeu- tive Mansion. President Grant alwa' kept ten or twelve horses, senecaly blooded and spirited. Upon one ocea- sion while driving to attend a requiem mass to pre the Tealien Deoutio ate the auspices of the Italian i i four high eerung horses took fn and dashed away at a breakneck Albert's strength was not sufficient te check them. With his accustomed coolness he ran them into the swing- ing chains around the nearest park, which gave the President and those with him time to alight. The man, gathering up his reins, extri the horses from their dilemma, and once more getting them on the street, gave them an overhauling which put a quietus upon their disposition to get away. lbert has been the coachman’ of every new President since, and has an interesting collection of autograph letters testifying to his skill and cool~ ness in managing horse flesh.— Maid and Express, A Dream of Fair Women.

Md. —_——_-o____—_. Cotton Raisers, Look at This. It is a well established fact in the mind of all close observers that goods manu- factured from the lint of the present day are not near so durable as formerly. The cause or causes gre not very clear. Iam inclined to think that one cause is the taking of the lint from the seed too soon after gathering; moreover, that the weight of the lint is not near so great as if it were to remain on the seed ’till it had extracted the oil with which nature has provided the seed, unquestionably, for some purpose. Will not some enterprising farmer weigh 1500 pounds of cotton immediately after itLis gathered, gin it and weigh the bale? Then weigh out 1500 pounds and pack it away till March, then gin it, weigh the bale and mark the differ- ence in weight of the lint. This is very little trouble, and will show whether the oil in the seed gives body or weight to the lint. Try it, some one. C. PLYLER.

It is a gratifying fact that there has been a great change in Rowan county in the number of mortgages registered the past year as compared with several pre- ceeding years. We learn from - the county Register, Mr. Woodson, that there has been a falling off of about 75 per cent., or three out of four. And this, it is believed, is due to several causes, the most gratifying of all being the better condition of the people. The last year’s crop was a good one and enabled the farming community to pay ‘up, and in Most cases, to have a foed supply left for the present year, Next to that, perhaps, more attention was given to provide for the necessities of the home and farm, in pitching last year’s crop. But no doubt many have opened their eyes to the fu- gitive false good of giving mortgages, and deliberately resolved to quit that mode of business. The change is not due, in a great measure to the refusal.of merchants to take mortgages, for there have been some of them willing te do so;* but to their credit it may be stated that they haye advised against it, and in*many cases dissuaded yiy,plicants from centinu- ing the practice. Whatever causes have produced this gratifying changé, it is none the less pleasing to the “Watchman,” which has Constantly sought to break down the mortgage system as delusive and danger- ous to those who practice it.

On Saturday , Meetings being held by Mr. Pearson in there were nine droves-iu town. Every ; that place: “Two weeks ago the Rev. R. G. Pearson, the evangelist, began his meetings here. It was cold and raining. At 11 o’clock there were about fifty cold looking peop'e iu the pews and four persons in the choir. Such was the be- ginning. To-day, when it has been rain- ing and the streets are fooded with mud and the sidewalks are just as bad as Spartanburg sidewalk can be; a half an hour before services the large church and Sunday-school room were crowded, and they contined to come until it was literally packed, and then many had to go away. Strangers, town people, coun- try people, all sorts and conditions of folks, were present. They did not come to hear a big sermon, for they were as- sured they would be disappointed if they expected that. They knew they would hear no flights of eloquence, no descrip- tion of heaven and the judgment, no quotations from the philcsophers and poets, exhibition of man’s wisdom. For an hour this large crowd gave their pro- found attention to a Bible reading on ‘confession.’ It was plain, simple, clear, convincing. It did more good to the congregation than the most eloquent sermon from the biggest doctor of divinity in the State. After the reading he called on those who wished to make a public profession to give him their hand, and about twenty- three, who had backslidden, went up and acknowledged the fact and renewed their professions. It has certainly been a very wonderful meeting.” ee ae Health of the County. Report of Dr. J. J. Summerell on the health of Rowan county, for the month of December, from the Bulletin of the N- C. Board of Health: Colds, cattarrhal fever, typhoid fever, pneumonia and bronchitis have prevailed in several portions of the county. The reports trom twelve doctors give 5 cases scarlet fever, 7 of diphtheria, 14 of typhoid fever. There have been no efforts, eithcr public or private, to remove sources of disease, and to make the county more healthful, or to teach the people how to make their homes more healthful and orderly. Still, the Supt. is happy to re- port that the general health is good, and from the abundant crops made, there is little likelihood of there being much want or destitution in our county this winter. Of course, there are still some at our poor house, mostly the aged and infirm people, who from long continued disease and the infirmity of age, have ceased to make a support, and are taken to the poor-house to end their days. Thereis no sickness among the prisoners in jail, except colds and a few cases of syphilis. This latter disease is much more common among the colored people than when they were slaves. They are generally treated only long enough to cure the primary sore, and the disease runs into its secondary and tertiary stage, and finally ends in pauperism, Many of them, both black and white, are admitted to the poor house to be treated. The public buildings are in pretty good sanitary condition. Water is being introduced into the jail now, and the sewers leading from the jail are to be put in also. With plenty of water and water closets, connected with a good sys- tem of sewerage, many of the sources of disease will be removed, o> Thieves, The Concord Standard has the follow- ing to say about the thefts in the lower portion of this county, for which five per- sons are now in our jail: Reliable information comes from No. 5 that five persons have been arrested and are now in Salisbury jail charged with burglarizing the store house of Mr. Jas. Cline in No.5, and that of Mr. Henry Graber, of South Rowan. The names of the parties arrested are Wiliiam and Henry Roseman, two Newsom brothers and Alf Hess. The sister of the Newsom boys is also arrested as an accomplice. It is said that there is an organized band of sixteen implicated in the lawless acts of that vicinity. Auother infurmant tells us that for months past many citizens of South Ro- wen and north Cabarrus have been Jvo:- ing by petty thefts, and were greatly ex- ercised as to who were the trespassers, Gradually the perpetrators became bold- er. A few wecks avo Mr, €harey Pow- Jess and his neighbor Thornton had 60 chickens stolen, Jas, Cline and Henry Graber’s stores were broken into, and the night after Mr, Monroe Ketner butcher- ed, the theives entered his mill, poured the wheat out of the sacks, then proceed- ed to pry open his meat house, put bis meat in the sacks and carried it off on his own horses. At another time Bill Roseman and his pals visited a very aged lady, (Mrs. Adam Roseman) who lived alone with a hired girl, broke open her smoke house and flading nothing proceeded to ransack her kitchen, notwithstanding her expos- tulations. The girl slipped up stairs and blew a horn, a signal in that couftry of distress, but before the BSE eras the thieves had left, first threatening the old lady wNh death if she exposed them. The whole country was aroused by these depredations and the result is a Yr part of them are bagged. | T. K. BRUNER EDITOK, RALHIGH, N; CL s Maric® Bailion Company. As considerable interest is manifested |” in the Marion Builion Co.’s mining lands in McDowell county, we publish extracts of a late report made on this property by Alfred Free, Ph. D., Gevlogist and Mineralogist. “PLACER No. 2.” This mine is located in a broad, swame py fill of many acres, which has been opened to a width, at bottom, of about eighteen feet. The gold-bearifg grit is an average of ten inches in thickness, resting on a bed of blueclay, largely com- posed of decomposed epidote. The over- lay is an average of about ten feet in depth, presenting where it rests upon the grit, a deposit of decomposed vegetable matter; ticn, above, loose sands, clay and soil. At distances of about three feet apart, I took from this mine five pans of grit, (one from each point.) These all showed yold, giving in pan a decided streak. A “clean up” was effected at Mine Nu. 2, on the 15th, three daysafter my ar- rival at the mines, and was highly satis- factory, considering the amount of grave] moved. The force of workmen was then moved to another point, and began operating “Placer No. 3.” At this point the over- lay was found to be about twelve feet in thickness, and of character similar to that of No.2. In order to get space for slnicing, some grave) previously worked by the early miners hrd to be removed. This showed an astonishing amount of gold partly amalgamated with mercury, lost in the crude process employed in earlier times, When the undisturbed grit was reached it showed remarkably rich in the pan, with indications of improve- ment from day to day, as the gluch at the point where work was begun suddenly spread out below, disseminating the gold more widely. Above, with the narrower concentration of the grit, this mine can- not fail to furnish good returns for labor spent upon it. More men, and an addi- tional hydraulic, could be worked at this point profitably for a long time. The first ‘clean up”—which was effected un- der my supervision—iacluded only a small amount of gravel moved, and apart of that had been previously worked, with only two sluice boxes in position but was eminently satisfactory, yielding nearly thirty pennyweights of gold. Mine “No 1” not now in operation— possibly worked out—I did not examine for gold; but at this point many small crystals and fragments of gem material, including the various corundum gems, beryl, and rutilated quartz, are found in thegravel from previous washings; and Iam informed by the superintendent that some good crystals of emerald were found here during the working of this mine, The examination of the various test pits manifests that you have a large area (more than a mile in length) of payable placer mining still untouched and await- ing development. Texamined thirteen gold-bearmng quartz veins which have been uncovered upon your property. These all have a north- east and south-west trend. The number given does nci include some small, thready veins to which my attention was called. From these thirteen yeins I took rock for examination. These samples gave mea yield of gold running from $4.50 to $13 per ton, averaging over $8. If this rock can be mined and milled for $2.25 per ton, which seems a liberal esti- mate, then the poorest of these veins could be profitably worked, if the same percentage of gold, as shown by the out- crop, should continue. The quartz is eminently granular, and the sulphurets well decomposed, which makes the mil- ling easy. Upon the best of these veins —the Terry, and Nos. 1, 2, and 3—I would recommend the sinking of shafts. These ought not to cost exceeding $300 each, and the quartz removed ought to much more than meet this outlay. These veins havea thickness of from six to eighteen inches, ' At a short distance from the house of the superintendent of the mines I found that a shaft had been sunk a few feet upon a most remarkable vein of massive lime iron-alumina garnet—var. pyrope—of great purity and exceeding hardness. The vein at this point is about eighteen inches in width. The same mincrul is abundant- ly distributed along a line through the Upton tract of land onthe west side of Muddy creck, upon the surface of the ground, in large broken masses. From its extreme hardness and purity it affords a inost excellent material for the produc- iicn of good emery. It possecses the rich, reddish brown color so much sought in emery, and much of which is artifi- cially produced. Its hardness is fully equal to that of the impure yarieties of corundum commonly used to produce eincry, if not superjor to them, Jt seems to me that the mining and crushing of this materjal, which appears to be in abundance, must become a lucrative branch of your mining. It is the hardest garnet] have ever examined, ranking fully eight in the scale of ten, ‘* Money."—The attention of the read- ers of this paper, and particularly those interested in mining matters is called to the advertisement of this excellent jour- nal, It isa free, bold and truthful por- trayer of all financial matters and is of; particular interest to those who have or expect to have dealings with English | capitalists.

[Every new indusrty that can be maintained, which supplies a want felt by the people, isa clear gain in every Way, 4s employing workmen, keeping profit at houte, using materials produced here, paying wages that are spent here, aud tending to make us industriously independent. The very highest form of industry is that which exists with the widesi possible diversification of industries. England suffers to-day because she has intensified her manufactures, and neg- lected to cultivate her soil thoroughly. Ireland and India sutfers because thes have agriculture without manufactures. We give our people a chance in every direction, and so we possess the highesi prosperity and the most robust nation- al life. ne ene It is in dispute whether 200 or 1,00 persons perished in the late terribl blizzard out West.

The present year is the fifth year of modern times in which the aggregate of the figures are twenty-five, and there will be but five more years in which such a combination is possible prior to the year 2090. Probably few have ever beard of the old prophecy, which runs as follows: In every future year of our Lord, When the sun of the figures is twenty- tive, Some warlike kingdom will draw the sword, But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive. Students of modern history will readily recall how faithfully this proph- ecy has been fulfilled in the four pre- vious years to which it applied. In 1699, Russia, Denmark and Po- land formed the coalition against Swe- den which inaugurated the great wai that ended in the disastrous defeat of Charles XIT, at Pultown. The year 1789 will ever be memora- ble on account of the breaking out of the French revolution. The vear 1798 witnessed the cium- paign of Bonaparte in Egypt and the tormation of the second Muropean coalition against France. In 1879 war broke out between Hng- land and Afghanistan, followed by the ish troops.

The report has been circulated on our streets that the prisoners in the county Jail broke out last week but returned next morning. The true facts of the case is that last thursday night one of the Nprisoners, by some means, succeeded in getting out of his cell into the corridor and unbolted all the eell doors opening into it, "Ts aoe > cell duors are fastened from the outside with a strong iron bar with an eye in it to allow the bar being locked in place by a padlack when thought neces- sary, but as the corrider is securely fast- ened, Mr. Roseman, the jailer, has not been in the habit. of putting the padlock in, knowing that should the prisoners get ovt of their eclls they could go no farther.

He is now at work on the: public roads. He is truly, as stated in the petition, a poor mab, and is not only poor, but very poor; anda poor man like him always has a house full of cnildren, And withal he is a very remarkable looking man; he is bow-legged and is split nearly up to his shoulders; and his nose logks like a powder horn. It scems to me he has been punished about enough. . His work on the road is not worth what it costs to the county, and he could assist his help- less fainily a little if he were at home.

The vein is about four feet wide, and has been sunk on in two places to a depth of sixty-five and twenty-seven feet, the vein showing frce gold and in paying quantities at both of these depths. Besides these shafts num- erous pits have been sunk and some of them resu ted in good finds. ~ Messrs. Reed and Morgan have been prospecting with about twenty hands for some time on a property adjoining the Barringer and on a vein supposed to be the Barringer vein, and it is reported that they have struck excellent ore show- ing free gold in good quantities, SAM CHRISTIAN, We had the pleasure of seeing tracings of the drawings, made by Capt. Ramsay, C. E., of our town, giving tle elevations and plans for the work of supplying wa- ter for hydraulic purposes to this proper- ty, and were astonished at the iagni- tude of the proposed work. At the river a small channel between the mainland and an island is to be widened to two hundred feet for a dis- tance of about one thousand fect, and a dam built frem one island to another, throwing a large body of water into this channel, which will run a line of wheels connected with the pumps, The fall will be about seven fect, Mr. E.

A nother wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this coun- try. Discase fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were underminded and death seemed immi- nent For three mouths she coughed in- cessantly and could not slcep. She bought of usa bottle of Dr. King’s New Discov- ery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C. Hamrick & Uo., of Shelby, N. C.—tet a ree trial bottle at T. F. Kluttz & Co.. drug store. a > Wounds That Never Heal. How sudden and unexpected the shoe, the axc-stroke, or the blow from a falling tree, that way shatter a limb, severacord, or fracture the brain, eausing one hitherto stroug and athle- tic to go through the remainder of life a helpless cripple or invalid. One moment of time has done a work which long years can never unde. So friendship may receive fatal wounds. There are words and deeds which can so wound a great love as to kill the very root of it in the soul, so that al- though kind feeling a memory of the once absorbing passion, a tender pity, perhaps, remains, no miracle of God could place again the fallen idol on the estal it once occupied in that wor- shipful trustful heart. To possess the contideuce and esteem of a friend is a boon so precious to win and hold, let us beware of losing such through in- discretion. — fx. See ee Tho Vordict Unanimous. W. D. Sult. Druggist, Bivpus, Ind , tes- tifies: “I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relicfin every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheuma- tism of 10 years’ standing.” | Abraham Hare, drugyist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years’ experience, is Electric Bitters.” 9 Thrxisands of others have added their testimony, so that the Verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidney or Blood.

A grasshopper, half starved with cold and hunger, came to a well-stored bee- hive at the approach of winter, and humbly begged the bees to relieve bis Waats with a few drops of honey. One of the bees asked how he had spent his time all the summer, and why he had not laid up a store ot food like them ? “Truly,” said he, “I spent my time very merrily in driaking, and dancing, and singing, and never once thought about the winter.” Bob ! fear a’ kin'ness is love..

The Legislature of 1876-7, at the suggestion of Gov. Vance, undertook to provide a house for the Governor. To this-end an act was passed ea reas- ing a commission consisting urer Worth, Attorney General Kenan, ongelhard—these Secretary of State --and D. M.

B. Andrews—two citizens—with Pe to construct a_ suitable’ 3e, o raise the necessary funds the com- mission was authorized to sell eertain tacant lots belonging to the State in the city of Raleigh. A part of these lots were sold for part cash and part time, and the proceeds of such sales amounted te about $18,000. The lots sold were only-the outlying small lots; as the city of Raleigh was antagonizing the sale of the large and more valuable lots. The commission had plans of a house made, but: did not commence work, as I have always understood, be- cituse of the trouble about the sale of the valuable lots, and because of the further fact that the commission was divided as to the location. The Legis- lature of 1879 repealed the act, and di- rected the fund to be turned into the general fund. Asa fact the fund was not turned into the general fund and actually entered on the Treasurer's books for the reason that a large part of the money had not been collected when the act of 1883 was passed. This act instead of appointing a commis- sion, as the act of 1876-7 did, directed the Governor and his council to build a suitable house. Its other features were, however, in the maiif like the act of 1876-7 except it did not direct the sale of the public square in the city. It rededicated the fund raised as before stated from the sale of the lots under the act of 1876-7 and authorized the sale of the lot known as the old Gov- ernor’s Mansion property. It also, as did the act of 1876-7, directed the penitentiary authorities to make and furnish everything possible to be sup- phed by that institution to aid in the work. Plans were drawn by one of the best and most experienced architects in the country. They were examined. and the plan of the house materially reduced in size and cost, in order to avoid any conflict with the penitentiary authorities as to what they could furnish and as to what they could not. They, after going over the plans with the architect, undertook to build the house for $25,000 in addition to the work they were required by law to do. Up to the time-I left the Governor's office, $20,000 had been paid over to the penitentiagy on the contract, and the building was far advanced towards completion, and part of the old Man- sion lot had been sold to the City of Raleigh for a grated schoal at $10,000. and it was supposed the balance would sell fur $5,000. So the funds in sight for building and furnishing the house amounted in addition to the convict work tu about $33,000, if the balance of the oid lot sells for $5,000. But suppose it ouly brings $3,000, then we have a fund of &80,000—#25,090 for building and $5,000 for furniture. Now bear in mind that not one dolla of this money was raised by taxation. It all come from the sale of old vacant lots, the most of which would never yielded one jenuy of income in the way of tixes to the State. comity or et. Since these lots were sold and went into the houds of private parties, thay have he a improve..l—several hand- some residences now stand on them— wud cre now ylelding to the treasury taxes every year. If then the house had been completed by the penitentiary autionty, as was expected, the practi- eal effect of the management would have been to cive the Stutea handsome hou e for its Governor without collect- ing from the oe one penny of tax to pay for it, Bat one man says the Pemtentiary peap.e cannot complete it except at juss, Let us adwtb it. My recolleciianr is jhat the exterior of the house except the porches, and the in- terior except the doors, stairways and inside window blinds are completed, and probably much of the material is on hand for these, [ confidently be- lieve that $10,000 iu addition to the $25,000 will save the penitentiary harm- Jess and enable its authorities to com- plete the building without loss; but to make a safe calculation [ will put it at $12,500. Of course a very large aniount of money nay be spent on the interior finish ef a house, but 1t never was *de- signed to finish this one otherwise than ‘Ina neat, simple substantya) manner, and finished that way my estimate is a sufe one, The furniture should be neat, dnrable, serviceable furniture, and furnished in this style $5,000) will buy a lot of furniture; but Twill say it tukes $7,500 for the furniture.

A thousand times better be single for life, Than be a poor heart-broken rum seller’s wife; ° And therefore your offer I flatly decline, For lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine.” Oh! would that all ladics would vow in their youth, To hold fast to temperance, to virtue and truth ; And shunning all evil, take God for their guide, And they'll never become the inebriate’s bride. Communication from Minister Jarvis. PETROPOLIS, NEAR Rio pr Janxtro, Brazin, November 23d. 1887. To the Editor of the Star, Wiln ington, NaC. Dear Sir :—The Star of the 21st of October, after crossing the Atlantic twice, reached me three duys ago; and, as usual, was closely searched for the news from North Carolina. Your article headed “The Palace” beginning. as it did, with my name soon attracted my attention, and, after reading it closely, 1 determined to ask you to hear me on the subject. What I may say will not be said in a desire to pro- voke controversy but to correct what seems to me to be a wrong impression that is being made on the public and which may do harm af allowed to acen- mulate error, as it likely will, by the time the campaign of next, yeag. is in full blast. Nor do I -write to refieve myself of any personal responsibil’ y ‘n the matter for [ am perfectly willing to assume al/ the responsibility for the dimensions and style of the proy osed home for the Governors of North Car- olina. I do not profess to love mv State better tham other people, but I! do claim to have too mucn State pride to take part in the erection of a home for her Governors that is not a credit to the State and thut will not excite feel- ings of pride in any citizen woo may behold it. The house we are now erecting is to stand for one hundred years and more, and be occupied by a uovernor chosen by the people of a srect State as his home. Had the the next few years would have wit- nesseld new appropriations for its en- largement and remodeling —a thing al- ways expensive and rarely ever satis- factory. Completed as designed, it will always be satisfactory to those who may occupy it and creditable to the age in which it was built, Ido not say it in a spirit of stubborness or irri- tation, but because of my conyvietion that [ was right jn what [ did, when | declare to yeu that [T do not regret having commenced sych a house; but Udo regret that [ was not able to finish it aad relieve all others of even any seeming responsibility in the matter, Tue public will readily see that it is impossible for me to write about this matter without alluding to myself, as the subject matter of your article therefore take it that I may speak of unyself witheyt offending yood taste. [t so, I wil ask you to indulge me a little further iu matters personal. For the implied compliment in the article { beg to thank you. JT dy not elaim to have done the best that could be done, but | say that | did the best that I knew how to do, The Star has the confidence of the press and the people, and what it says has its influence in moulding public thought and public opinion. No one knows this better than I do. It is this reason that has in part in- duced me to attempt to correct in time the wrong and hurttul impressions which, I think, your comments on “The Palace,” as you choose to cull it, may make. [ do not wish the Deimo- .

It is the manner of living te eee Governor at ‘an actual cost to the tax- | payer of only $15,000. Cun any rea- sonable man object to this and say that it is extravagance? I think not. But, says another of the critics, | have not charged enything in this estimate tor the convict labor. answer no, and able to require it, and that I will demon- one squad of convicts were at work for and on the Governor's house, another Was engaged in cutting canuls in the east, another at work on a railroad in the middle railroad in the weste.n part of the State, and still anoth r on the Supreme Court and State Library building. This | makes five different squads of convicts in all, and they were all fed, guarded and clothed ey the State and at the ex- peuse of the State. Now why should the squad that werked on the Govern-' or’s house alone be selected and forty ' cents a day for each convict be charged | up against that work and nothing said about the others. It looks as if it was done thoughtlessly, or for the purpose of making the cost of the building ap- pear big, to make capital for personal or party use. It was the State's build- ing and the State’s convicts, why charge the State for the one that worked on it any nore than the one that worked on the Supreme Court building? It was the State House and the State's con- viet, and why charge for the one that worked on the State House any more than the one that worked on the State's canals or on the roads of corporations? I repeat the demand to do so is_unrea- sonable, and in my opinion the people will so see it. Now a word as to the palatial ap- pearance of the building. According to my idea there is nothing palatial about it. It isa plain brick building, built of brick made by the eonvicts at the penitentiary and trimmed with a moderate quantity of brown sand stone, dug from the soil of North Carolina. lhe inside is equally plain and home- like, being plastered walls and ceilings. Che windows are of glass and the roof of slate. Now what there is palatial in all this 1 cannotsee. But it is denoninated a “Jumbo” in size; well, Ido not know how big a house must be to be called a “Jumbo.” [his one has a_ basement, two full stories and an attic. On the first are six rooms, and they are supposed to be for the following uses : a ladies parlor, t gentleman’s parlor, the Governor's public reception parlor, a library, a large dining room and a_small/ diming room. “he parlors and library will average about 20x22; the reception parlor (to be used on public oecasions if the Governor shall wish to hold a re- ception during the sitting of the Legis- lature or the State fair, or like ocea- sion) is 24x40; the large dining room, also for public occasions, is 20x36, and the small dining room is about 14x16. [his floor is supposed to be more or less open to the public on suitable ve- easions. The second floor, also, has slx rooins which is supposed to furnish the sitting rooms and cha:nbers for the Governor and his feuily, These rooms are supphed with necessary conven- ‘ences for tne health and comfort of the household. Some of the attic ~ooms on the third floor might be fitted up and oecupied as sleeping rooms if a Governor has a family large enough to require it. The furniture of the build- ing that makes the house appear larger when one looks at it from the street, is its unusnally large hail. This hall, rapning ail the way across the house is, I think, 22 feet wide, In the first plan drawn it was 26 feet, and in re- ducing the general size of the house, four feet were taken off of the width of the hall. Had it been a tea feet passage, as sonje seen) to think suffi- cient, it would have materially reduced the appearance of the hous? as to size. Any one can readily see what a differ- enae it wonld make in the size cf the uonsete take a section of 12 feet out) of the middie. It is alan easy to sce what a difference it would make in the comfort of the house. I considered well this feature of the house before adopting it, and [ concluded that in building a house that was to endure for ages, it was economy to design and build it in a style equal te the demands of the future as well as for the present. I supposé no oue wil say that in the heat of summer a house with a broad airy hall is not much more cmfortable than one with a nar- row pent up one. As the Governor is supposed to spend the most of his suin- mer in Raleigh, J did net think it un- wise to nake his home as comfortable as possible. I have thus gone into the details of the dimensions of the house because ta call it a jumbo leaves the public to wild conjecture and opens the way tothose who wish to use it for poli- tical or personal purposes to make the most extravagant charges. Another criticism which I wish to notice is the declaration that a poor of the State, another on a h all T ma | auainted: why should 1? It would be unreason- al strate by facts.

If, however, I am not mistaken, then I venture the modest opinion that the people of North Caro- lina are not-as penurious and as little im their aspiration as some of their self constituted guardians wonld have us believe. Honest to thecore themselves they demand of their public servants the very highest integrity, and they will tolerate poling bap but I do not believe they will disapprove of such jr- dicious expenditure of these public funds as seeks to give to their State as good and creditable institutions as their neighbors possess. 1 have been a close observer of the public men of the State for the last twenty years and I have seen the trimmer and the dema- gogue go down while the bold, straight- areas aan aoe was willin; to tele 1e responsibility of his position, - pered. The people of North Carblina are not swift to condemn a public ser- vant who seeks to build up their State, to give them public institu- tions und public buildings creditable to their State, and in whieh they ‘can feel a great pride, though they do, have to pay taxes for it, if they .ean only know their money is honestly and jodi iously spent. Before 8 § a people I am not afraid to go and'say to them that with the use of your con- vict labor, the sale of some old lots in. the city of Raleigh, and an expenditure of only fifteen thousand dollars of your taxes, I have built for you a house fér your Governor as handsome as any State has and one of which you ani your children and grandchildren may be proud of.

JARVIS. ——uWwKo<oon-o- ee Female Tenacity of Life, It appears from the guthered statis- tics of the world that women have a greater tenacity of life than men. Nature worships the female in all its varieties. Among insects the male pouslies at a relatively earlier period. n plants the seminate blossoms die earlier and are produced on the weak- er limbs. Female quadrupeds have more endurance than males. In the human race, despite the intellectual and physical strength of man, the wo- man endures longest, and will bear pain to which the strong man suec- cumbs. Zymotic diseases which are more fatal te males,and more male chil- dren die than females. Deverga as. serts that the proportion dying si:dder= ly is about 100 women to 780 men; 1,080 men in the-United States, in "70 committed suicide, to 285 women, Intemperance, appoplexy, gout: hydro- cephalus, affection of the heart and rhacarte-rasies then fermalcs. Puabiiie nary consumption, on the other. hand.” is more deadly to the latter. Females: in cities are more prone to consunir- tiou than in the country. All old countries not disturved by emigration have a great majority of females in the population. In royal families the statistics show more danghters thaa sons. The Hebrew women is excep- tionally long-lived; the colored man is exceptionally short lived, The mar- ried state is favorable to prolongation of life among women, Dr. Hough proclaims that there are from two to six per cent. more males born than femalex, yet there are more than six r cent. of femules in the living popu- ations, From which’ statistics we conclude that all women who can possibly obtain one af thase rapidly departing men onght to marry, and that as men are hkely to becotte so scurce they eannot he sufficiently prized by the other sex. _ —~4p-—__- -— CONSUMPTION SURELY CURED. man cannot live in it on the present salary of the Governor, This criticism is more a matter of opinion than of argument.

After he had refreshed himself with some supper he went to see the ‘’Pabernacle,” the pluee prepared for service, He found a large and spacious hali prepared in the cellar of the brick ware- nouse, Whica has a seating capacity of at least 3,000. The hall is well jighted and co:nforiably warmed and is suid to be the best place he has preached at.

You'd think you were right on the bark of ‘a river, but you ever get to it, Then again you see a magnificent lake, the color of an em- erald—no go, no lake, can’t get to it.

It tipped as glorious a lake as | ever saw, all in an effulgent glow. Upon that lake, moving to aud fro in boats, was a myriad of people. Gliding hither and thither, the scene reminded me of the realization of a strange mytholigal talc. It appeared to me as though there were athyusand people on that lake, big and little, old and young, male and female. “It was as if the whole thing was a pantomine, and then all at once the ‘thing’ or what it was, disappeared.

The tower door of St. leonard church, Bridgenorth, Eng., was left open, and two young boys, wandering in, were tempted to mount up into the upper part and scramble from beam to beam. All at once a joist gave way. The beam on which they were stauding be- came misplaced. ‘The elder had just time to grasp it when falling, while the younger, slipping over his body, caught hold of his comrade’s legs. In this fearful position the poor lads hung, erying vainly for help, for no one was near. At length the boy clinging to the beam became exhausted. He could no longer support the double weight. He called out to the lad below him that they were both done for. “Could you save yourself if I were to loose you?” replied the little lad. “I think I could replied the older. “Then good-bye, and God _ bless you!” cried the little fellow losing his hold. Another second aiml he was dashed to pieces on the stone floor below, his companion clambering to a place ot safety. This is a true story. The record of it is preserved in the Bodician Library at Oxford. ro Wilmington Star: Our young an giited friend, John W. Hays, Jr., of Oxford, informed the New York JV orld ofa marvelous spring in the m un- tains of North Carolina and he has been flooded with letters of inquiry. He writes in reply through the World as follows: “The spring is in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, near the town of Jefferson, N.C. There are comfort- able farm houses in the valley, and the entleinan who owns the property, Caan Thompson, of Saltville, Va., ‘has enlarged his resilence somewhat for the benefit of visitors. The ‘moon- shiners’ called it a ‘pizen’ spring, due to its healing sores, and when analysis showed the water to contain arsenic the name seemed not inappropriate. I did not know personally the party cured of cancer, but the case is cur- rently reported through the county, together with many instances of vicious blood diseases that have been relieved or cured. = It is used largely for uterine troubles, with what results I cannot say positively. Analysis of the water anese arsenic, bromide, jodine, lithium and a phosphate. e- Words of Wisdom. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold. Even the worst people have some good left in them.

Somebody calls it cruel and cold, : Full of sin and sorrow and pain, Where life is but a search for gold, And souls are lost inselfish gain. Somebody merrily laughs, and cries: “Hurrah for stich a dear old earth !

The Hickory Clipper tells a strange story of a little girl, 10 years of age, of Caldwell county, who seems to possess the mysterious but unconscious power of attracting stones, which appear to come through the roof or the walls of the house in which she may happen to be, striking the flcor with force but making no -indentations—stones of Various sizes and weights frem one. to ten poynds—and always falling nea the child. The family, consisting of M. L. Holler, the father, mother and this little girl, have moved several times to other house to get rid of the haunt, but have been followed where- ever they went by thé same strange phenomenon. Of late, household arti- cles, (a wash pan is instanced,) com- menced moving on the shelf where it was kept, and directly whirled off on tc the floor near the little girl.

But it seems that croppong their ears and boring their tongnes did not effect- nally clear out the Quakers, for a law was passed punishing with death those banished Quakers who should return. We read that after the prssage of this great religions ~ interest. Meetings were held, and sermons bearing upon the subject were preached, after which the magistrates, fortified by the ser- ens, sentenced meck and inoffensive men and women to be hung.” All for’ the glory of God! And the preachers were always on hand, we are told, to see that the hanging was thoronghly done, and that the victims in their last moments sowed no seed of Quaker heresy among the faithful. These preachers were all ministers of Christ. it will be remembered, and among the ‘most honored of our honored forefa- thers. “Robinson, Stevenson, Leddra, and Mary Dyer, one after the other, were led, te the beat of a drum. through the streets of Boston, and there ignominiously put to death, and the bodies of the men were stripped and thrown into a pit without covering.” Beautiful is the sight, oh Heaven, and in the sight of modern politicians and prayerful preachers of the gospel are these same puritan forefathers! But/l aging and clipping and boring and beating and banishing Quakers cam: toaneid. Because puritanism be- canie more merciful? Not at all. Mutilated witnesses went over to the king with their ears cropped and their tongues bored, and the king sent a peremptory order to John Endicott forbidding further indulgence in that form of Christianity. The king was a Roman Catholic. When Endicott thus found his cheif occupation gone he laid him down and went to his Father in heaven. It is ever thus with the righteous. The Quakers whom Endicott had murdered were already with their fathers in hell—so our saint- like puritans hoped, at least. About thirty years later Eastern Massachusetts witnessed the execution of two dogs who had the misfortune to be accused by these enlightened forefathers of being too familiar with the devil. But saintly puritanism did not contine itself to the execution of dogs. Something like forty innocent and peaceable men aud women shared the fate of the dogs. These.men and women were witches. There can be no doubt about it, fur they were for- mally tried before the most pious and exemplary persons of the colony, and found to be witches, and such were killed in accordance with the scriptu- ral command, ( Exodus.xxii, 18) “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.’ But exactly where in their bible these love- ly theologians found their command to crush Giles Cory, aged 81 years, to death between twe boards by piling stones on top of him, we do not know. At any rate they squoze him till his tongue stuck out and one of the dea- cons poked it back with a stick, after whieh the old man died, but most obstinately. We have vot half told the story, which damns and onght. to damn for- ever the verv nv + of puritan. ~ It cannot be full: told in cold types. These puritans were eur forefathers; but blame us not for that. We are sorry for it; but its not our fault. We would say for them that they were sincere. Sincerity was about the only conspicuous virtue they had, yet such did they make of it that we can only adi that their one virtue was worse that a dozen vices. It would be a kindness to the puritan forefathers of New Eregland to leave them alone in their grayes, but so long as these fore- fathers are annually dug up and fed with panegyric at festal boards by our chiefest men, the truth shall be told of them also, whatever their shame. They ‘endured no hardships and displayed no fortitude to distinguish them from the early settlers in New York, Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas. They are distinguished only by the manner in which they “served the Lord as if the devil helped them,” while their con- temporary pioneers offered asylum and shelter to the victims of New Eng- land's remorseless pietists, and gaye men “freedom to worship Gad” some hun- dreds of miles from Boston Common. e 4 GRAPHIC PICTURE OF THE EARLY NEW ENGLAND PURITANS, AS TOLD BY A NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL. [From the Winsted (Conn.) Press.] The floodgates of gush have been opened by recurrence of “Forefather's Dayan sat parsons, publicans, pharisees and politicians having lifted up their heavenly voices in unqualified praise of the Massachusetts puritans, let us vary the monotony by telling some truths not at all complimentary to these same puritans, aad in the light of which, notwithstanding some sturdy qualities of soul common to other pioneers, it ap- pears that they were for the most part as mean and inhuman a lot of bigots as ever set foot on American svil.) There were a few exceptions—there always are exceptions, and they “prove the rule.” Rogers Williams was a_ peaceful Quaker. The forefathers were whil- home peaceful Presbyterians fresh from persecutions, papal and_protest- ant, in other lands. Vet one cold and snowy December night they drove this peaceful Quaker out from all shelter in their towns to find tender mercy in the hearts of untutored savages, and asy- lum at last in a region not yet distin- guished by its puritan diety. They had not been more than twenty years before they began by fines, imprixon- ment, whipping, banishment and tor- ture, to make a history for themselves which must be forever infamous. They whipped and banished a man uamed Gorton-—and this was his of- fence: His servant smiled in church, and Gorton publicly defended him. But banishment did not suffice. Gor-| ton and a dozen others went to Rhode [sland and settled in a place called Warwick, beyond the jurisdiction of the Boston court and refused to return. A force of soldiers was sent after hin. lhe soldiers captured him and his fel- iows, after driving their women and enldren into the woods brought the prisoners back to Boston —leaving the women and children to perixh—and were publicly blessed by John Win- throp, Cotton Mather and other good puritans for their great victory over the emissuries of satan. The prisoners were put in irons, kept at hard labor through the winter, and banished igain for, trying to keep away from their golly forefathers. A few years later a Baptist minister from Newport, named Holmes, with two friends went, to Lynn to visit a dying brother. At the bedside of the sick man they were arrested, fined and imprisoned, and when Holmes retused to pay his fine he was taken out into the streets of Boston, stripped and so brutally flogged that some bystanders expressed sympathy for him—and for that expression were fined and impris- oned. No sympathy was expressed for them, we may be sure, and that they were not very good puritans is self- evident. John Winthrop was then governor of the colony and leader of the general court, but a merciful providence took him home to heaven and put a worse man in his place. ‘This man was John Endicott, who began his haly mission by imprisoning and starving two wo- men because they were Quakers. Then he imprisoned and banished a man named Upshall for giving the women food. Under Endi-ott a law was passed against Quakers which it was hoped would root out this devilish sect, and by virtue of this law many Quakers, men and women were whip- ped, imprisoned, starved and ill-treated In various other ways. ~ But certain people would be Quakers, which so en- raged the governor that in a fit of ex- treme piety one day he ordered the twenty Quakers then in jail taken out and whipped twice a week, each time more severely than the last. Still these wicked Quakers persisted in poi- soning the air of the puritan saints by dwelling in Massachusetts, and to ef- fectually get rid of them a Jaw was passed which declared that “for the first offence of returning after banish- ment one ear shall be cut off, and for the third bore the tongue with ao red- hot iron.” It was a glorious day for God, and Endicott was his prophet. Two little children were found, whose parents had been banished. These terrtsle infants were fined for won-attendance at church, and being unable to pay their fines, they were |! : ee ‘nh offered for sale, it is said slaves, | Without some insalt ringing jn her Slaye selling was not then so uncom-| esr.

It will be seen, 98 has often been asserted, that it is proposed that the U. S. Government shall as- sume an authority in the States never before exercised by it, and wirieh will be the great entering wedge by which the States will be reft of their sover- eignity in the management of her pab- lie schools. It levies taxes on the peo- ple for school purposes, and requires an exact account of how the funds thus raised have been expended, &. But our object was only to call attention to the Bill, trusting that all will read it and see for themselves what its pro- visions are; and having done that, we leave it to the good sense of the reader to determine whether or not it is the boon its advocates claim for it. —_—--—-- Iateresting Letter.

The writer was himself confined as a political prisoner of waa during # large part of the year 1862, at the Military Encampment, Salisbury, North Carolina, having been sent there from Richmond, Va., ia the early spring of that year, by the Confederate Government: and I assure you the change from the closely confined quar- ters of McDaniels Negro Jail, aud the Libby, at Richmond, to the large and spacious quarters at Salisbury, was fully appreciated by most ot us, myself in particular. For moat of the time during my stay at Salis- bury, the commanding officer was a Captain McCoy, beth a gentleman and a soldier; and the Medicnl department was conducted by a kind, Christian man named Hall, as post sur- geon—whose kindness to those under his charge 1 had the very fullegt opportunity of recegniz- Ing, having been appowited myself to the place made vacant by the discharge of his assistant in the Union Hospital for his intemperate hab- fts.

It gives to the Secretary of the Interior power to compell the several States and Territories t» conform their school laws and tbe expenditures of their own school funds, to his require- ménts in all thipgs, under penalty of having this “aid” from the General Government denied to any State fail- ply with these requirements; for if an State or Territory shall decline, or re- linquish, or forfeit its proportion, or share of the appropriations proposed, the amout so lest to such a State or Territory shall go, to increase the amount for distribution among the other States and Territories. Now see how the bill interferes with and controls the management of the States with their schools: No State or Territory shat! receive any money under this act, when it becomes a law, uutil the Governor thereof shall file with the Secretarg of the Interior a stutement, certified by him, showing: 1. The common system in force in such State or Territory. 2. The amount of money expended therein during the last preceding year in the support of common schools, not in- cluding expenditures for the rent, repair, or erection of school houses. 3. Whether any discrimination is made in the raising or distributing of the gom- mon school revenue, or in the couimon school facilities afforded between the white and colored children therein, and go far us practical, the sources from which such revenues are arrived. 4. The manner in which the same were apportioned to the use of the common schools. 5.

The number of schools in operation in each county and parish and city, white and colored. 7. The school term for each class. 8. The number of teachers employed, white and colored, male and female, and the average compensation paid such teachers. 9. The average attendance in each class and the length of the school term. No money shall be paid under it to any State or Territory that shall not have provided by law a system of free common schools for all its children of schoo! age, without distinction of race or color, either in the raising or distribution of school revenues or in the school facili- ties afforded. The Secretary of the Interior passes on this certified statement and the facts set forth in it, and determines whether the State or ‘Territory from which it comes is or is not entitled to its proportion of the fund to be alloted, and from his decision there is no appeal. After receiving the report, he, the bill says, “shall certify to the Secretary of the Treasury the States and Territories he finds to be entitled to share in the benefits of this act and also the amount due to each.” For the Watchman. ~— Rev.

He was not agent for any Bible. but if they would have their own Bible and read it, they all would be improved. Yes, says the preacher, some of you say you cannot buy a Bible that will cost $8, but you pay mure’than that four times « year for a new bonnet. Now you ladies buy a new Bible and do without the new hat. There has been nearly seventy souls converted, and the good work gves steadily on. Friday night.—Though the rain fell, and the winds blew, the people came out and a large crowd assembled promptly at the T'abernacio at the appointed hour. The preliminary meeting was held by Rev, McClelland, who read a chapter of Romans, and the choir sang the song, “Why not to-night.” Prayer by Rev. ‘Caldwell of the Associate Reformed church. The evangelist took his text from Amos, 4 chap.,’ 12 yerse, ‘‘Prepare to meet thy God.” The general scope of the text was the manner of the every day life of the average church member. He said that the greatest draw-back to his evangelistic work had been the inconsis- tency of the old church members—when he would talk to the sinners they would say, well I have no faith in a religion that has such members in it as Mr. soand so, they are a great deal worse than I am who have no religion at all. They fre- quent the bar-room oftener than I do. They practice all kinds of devilment. They cheat, they lie, and do many things that I would not do. No, Brother Pear- son, you will please excuse me, I would like to be a Christian, but I want a dif- ferent religion from what these church members have. Yes, says the preacher, these ‘sy ack twisted” church members are the stumbling blocksin the way of church progress. They wont pay their honest debts. ‘They go to church on Sunday and put on a long face, and during the coming week, they employ some lawyer and,get him to plead the ‘‘Statute of Limitation,’ and refuse to pay their honest debts. You diabolical church members can plead the ‘Statute of Limi- tation” in North Carolina, but when the death angel comes and the devil serves a writ on your soul, you can’t plead it then. the ‘Statute of Limitation” and save you from paying the devil his dues. He told the young ladies that he did not know how it was in this, but in al- most every community, they hear of the regular professicnal ‘flirts’ —girls who made a business of turning this boy oft and that boy to the left; and my dear girls you could not commit a more detes- table sin, and my observation has been that every one of those flirts either died an old disappointed wife or a miserable old maid. Girls beware. Girls take leare. The devil is after that sweet inno- cent soul and will also land you in the fire that never shall be quenched. He spoke especially to the ministers and told them to pray short, direet, and well thought prayers. He did not believe in these long prayers, praying for everythine trom the “rivers to the end of the world.” Prayer was like everything else, it requires concentration, and while he believed in praying tor the heathen and others from the rivers to the ends of the earth, yet it was the sinners in this place he was seek- ing out, and these sinners required all the prayers that the public pastors could offer. He said the true child of @od may expcet reverses—may expect trials here below. He said he did not want to discuss the “Theo- logical Hair Splitting” doctrines of the Bible. He did not want to cross swords with the “Theologian Gladiator: Heaven was too high, hell too deep, life too: short, and souls too precious to spend a single Moment in useless discussion. The sermon was listened to to the end without a single interruption, except the cry of a baby, which caused the preacher to say, that baby is sick and it ought to be at home in the cradle, where its mother ought to have left it in the beginning. He invited all to go to the-after meetiny. He said he wanted all the sinners to go, and all the Christians that would work, but the dead heads and idle curiosity seekers to stay away; their room was worth more than their company.

There is a story in the newspapers to the effect that a Kansas Company have prefected arrangements for the migration of the negroes of the South- ern States to various parts of South America. It is represented that the arrangements for the exodus is very complete, and thit it will take place on a much larger scale next year than it will this. ~ It may have some founda- tion, and we predict that its design i more for the benefit ‘of rail:o:d com panies and shipping men than anything else. It is possible that agents scatter 2d throughout the Southern State: way induce some negroes to go on this wild goose chase, and so squande what little propswty they have guined. but the negro is not the fool he wa the few first years of freedom, and as general thing, will not jump before knowing wh:re he is going to land. eee ree Curious Things Found Inside of Treer, Carioas finds have not infrequently been made in trees. Some woodcutters in the forest of Dommling made a strange discovery. They begin to fell s venerable oak, which they found to ve quite hollow. Being half decayed,it speedily came to the ground with a crash, disclosing a skeleton in excellent preservation; even the boots, which came above the knee, were perfect. By its side was a powder horn, a porcelain pipe bowl and a silver watch. The teeth were perfect. It would seem to be the skeleton ef a man between 30 and 40 years of age. It is conjectured that, while engaged in hunting, he climbed the tree for some purpose and slipped into the hollaw trunk, from which there was no ftelease, and he probably died of starvation. Another mystery was found in the heart of an oak. From a tree of this kind a large block, about eightgén inches in diam- eter, that had been knocking about in various yards and woodsheds, was split up lately, and in it was found an auger hole, about three-fourths of an inch in size, containing a bunch of hun.an hair done up in a piece of paper. The hair was near the ceutre of the block, aid fastened with a pine plug. It was ap- parently put in .when the tree was quite small, as the tree had grown over the plag to the thickness of about four inches, with the grain perfectly smooth and str.ight. A natural curiosity was shown in a ‘AVLonNTHLY sIcKNESS. imber merehant’s workshop. This | was the nes: and skeleton of a bird im-, bedded in a piece of beech. The tim- -{-ber seemed quite sound all round the cavity, and there was no signs of any aperture in it; but the timber bein; apa onagiee in it was fonnd. © The-nest be bujlt with mad, and the bled a titmouse. “ Probably at the lop- Da i n and the outside su uent! own ‘over; but how the bal ste nl seems diffi :ult to imagine. piece of honeycomb. the wax with the cells was hard, and manny. were incrusted in the wax. log of mahogony was being cut in ance of a remarkable and striking pro- file of her Majesty in the wood. rit acknowledged the resemblance. of ceal for the fire was startled to find in the centre of the block, a full grown health and spirits. A less common discovery was made in Birkenhead. A quarter of an inch Chamber's Journal. ——— Trading Ford Items. Mr. Editor:—As I have not seen tbout our ueighborhood, I thonght I would write to tell you about the fero- 24th of January. On the night above named, Mr. G. A. Prider heard a noise chat he supposed to have been made by » huge wild animal; so he concluded chat be had bette: go to see whether als horses were sufliciently shut in so the animal could not get to them. While he was at the barn he got tau- sled in his wagon harness and thought 1¢ heard the animal coming, so he ran with all might into the house. Of course Mrs. P. was very much excited it Mr. Priler’s actions, seeing him coming with the harness hanging to nim, and said “Why, George, what is -he matter?” He responded, “I tel! you that thing mighty near got me!” On the s.me night the same anim: was heard by Mr. G. I. Gornelison. He vroncunced it to be a monstrons ani- nal. He says he could hardly keep his iat on his head when he heard the uwfal noise. The excitement raised by these two gentlemen on Wednesday spread very ‘apidly, so quite a number of young and old nei met at Willer’s store Wednesday night to kill the animal. After the crowd had come together the noise was heard again. ‘Then the crowd formed a line to march out and meet the animal. ‘The names of the officers are as follows: G. W. Song. Vaptain: G. I. Hornelison, Major; and G. A. Willer, General. I will als« name the privates, Mr. O. Are, Mec Aull, J. Page, A. Reonard, J. Willer. 4. W. Hornelison, S. R. Cutner. C. Willer and I. Song. As always is the vise When there is danger on hand. the officers staid far in the rear. When thearmy had neared the woods che noise was great. Que of the pri- vates being a short legged man said. ‘Just listen what a noise he keeps.” Another said, “Boys he is too big for us to meet.” A third suggested, “Boys ets fire our guns—I would just a. soon run him off as to kill him.” Phen and there they fired about thirty shots. A gentleman by the name of W. D. Gornelison was going to visit his brother, but heard the animal before he got there—it was too much for him to stand. He turned his horse for home, and rode for dear life. He was about 1 mile from home when on his way and that his feet slipped out of his saddle stirup but he had not time to put them back, he was riding all the same. Mr. Gornelison soon re turned with a dauntless recruit: Both were armed, but before Mr. G. got on the scene of action all was over. W. R. Prider was also very much excited and loaded his gun with a musket ball in one barrel and 16 buck shot in the other. It is quite certain that the fusilade of fire arms had a salutary effect on the varment, whatever kind it may be, and it is conjectured that it has gone down the river into a less thickly settled part of the country, as it has not opened its moath in oar neighborhood since the night the valiant heroes of Trading Ford so gallantly turned out with arms. ‘_—.—-— ~<a — There is nothing so delightful as the hearing or speaking of truth.

The number of personal, dis- agreements and lawsuits which occur in this manner is beyond calculation. We say, therefore, take particular care in making bargains to leave nothing in doubt. t the terms be in writing and on no account allow yourself to be imposed n by such a silly delu- u sion as, “Rever mind—we'll not dis- agree about it.” Many allowances which arises from misunderstandings created by the wrong delivery of verbal messages would be obviated if the sender of the message would write a few lines. Learn to make use of your pen. It is always dangerous to send any message what- ticularly so if the communication in- clude more than a single idea. If the message extend to three sentences, it is a thousand chances to one that itis not delivered correctly. The bearer through his anxiety to be useful, or his etupidi vy, either tells too much, or tvo little, or by his tone or language gives quite a different signification to the message. Che lack of 4 little attention in a mat- ter of this nature often leads to seri- ous confusion. The way to avoid such troubles is to write a nete, the writing of a line or two will be ‘sufficient to inake matters clear. cc ES on ——— ct Convenience of Natural Gas. Natural gas can be used in any coal or wood stove, grate 6r furnace. In a base burner, for instance,’ the fire pot pipe empties its discharge intoa hollow iron casting, shaped like a cake or round loaf of bread. The surface of this casting is covered with small holes. After the casting has been adjusted it is covered with pieces of pipe clay or brick, a lighted matel?is put into the stove, and the thumb screw on the mixer turned. A flame at once flies up, and if the full channel of the mixer is open the flame will attain a height of twelve or fifteen inches. This size of flame would melt axtove, and the mixer is turned to throw a flame of about three inches. Such a blaze is blue and steady. Its heat is very great, and the fire clay is soon white not, so that iu looking into a stove where natural gas is used the effect on the vision is that of a coal fire— the stove simply Leing full of white not coals. In furnaces the plan is virtually the same. The gas is distributed over the surface of the fire pot, fire clay bri¢ks diffuse the heat, and the temperature is regulated by the thomb screw on the mixer. There is no fuel that is so luxurious as natural gas. There is no carrying of coal, no ashes, uo going out of fires,no dust and no vanation of temperature except at the will of -the fireman. The cleanliness of it is one of its most popular features, and it is always the occasion for demonstrations on the part of consumers. I know a miller who carpeted his furnace room with brussels, papered the walls with extravagant white tinted paper, and dressed his fireman in brogdcloth. When all this had been done the fire- man brought down an_ easy chair, decorated with the whitest of tidies which his ‘best girl’ had made, and he sits there all day long, dressed with the neatness of a clergyman, reading light literature and turning the thumb screw of his mixer as an occasional glance at the gauges may suggest.—Chicago Tunes. ~<a A Secret of good health is found in the regular movement of the bowels and perfect ae- tion of the Liver.

The designs are first executed in water-col- a ors by the artist, after which it is. G transferred to specially prepared Bava- . rian stones, a separate stone being re- ° wee ie for each color. | By printing 4 ifferent colors on top of each’ other @ the most wonderful and pleasing com-. 4 binations are produced. Several labels are printed at a time. Only for this the eost would be enormous, for it is so difficult to justify the different to the necessary nicety that a large P proportion has to be cast aside as im- 4 perfect.

Headersoa's Amendment of Internal Revenue Laws PASSED THB BOUSE. irc. Hendervon has shown most ¢om- fmendable zeal aud patsistence to ac- complish the amendment of the In* ternal Revenue laws by removing some of its rigid and unnecessarily barsh provisions; and we ate pleased to see ‘that he has succeeded in putting through the House a bill that will go far towards removing some of the bad featares of the law. . The hill referred to abolishes what 1s known as minimum punishments, and gives.a diactetion to the Court; and is intended to discourage frivolous and petty prosecutions. It also prohibits the issue. of warrants upon “informa- nt carolina .Wetchman. |, Lion and belief,” except upon affidavit made by a collector or deputy collector of internal revenue, or by a revenue agent; and no warrant is to be issued ab the instance of private individuals except upon ® sworn complaint setting forth the facts to be within the pei- sonal knowledge of the affiant. ‘This amendment will prevent, it 1s believed, many causeless and idle prosecutions, designed for no other purpose than to make fees. Another feature of the amendment is, that warrants shall be returnable to an officer in the county where the offense is committed, or be- fore an officer nearest to that county. The design of this i6 to prevent the abuses of dragging men far away from their homes in order to bring them be- fore a particular officer, oF the man whe issued the warrant. Section 2d declares that the United States shall not be liable to pay any #ees to marshals, clerks, commissioners, or other officers for any warrant issued or arrest made, unless there be a con- viction, or the prosecution has been ap- proved by the attorney of the United States for the district where it is al- leged the offense was committed. Section 5th authorizes the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue to compromise any civil or criminal case under the internal revenue laws. _ ee Mr. Blaine Declines a Nomination. —_—- THB REPUBLICAN PARTY AT SEA. Mr. Blaine has written a letter de- tlining to have his name come before the national Republican Convention as a candidate for President. This, it is believed, is the result of a careful sur- wey of the field, and especially of the yreat State of New York. Mr. Blaine has evidently foreseen that he cannot carry New York against Mr. Cleve- Jand, whose admirable administration has not only strengthened the demo- crats of that State but harmonized the democracy in almost every other por- tion of the country. It is conceded, therefore, that Mr. Blaine’s declination is sincere, and this renders it necessary for the republican party to find anoth- er man, which,under the circumstances, will be no easy job. Some of the leaders of the party say the letter re- ferred to cannot injure the republican "party in any event, and that it may be the means of securing to Mr. Blaine a @manimous nomination, which, it is argued, he cannot refuse to accept. Others, again, hold that Mr. Blaine tan and will be more serviceable to the ~ party im stumping the field for some ether republican candidate than he could be as its candidate. And thus, in various ways, they seek to neutralize the effect of Mr. Blaine’s withdrawal of his nama, and hold the party to- gether for the next great contest. There is nothing in all this at which the democratic party uced be joyful. On the contrary they would rather go into the contest against the distin- guished leader of the republican party than against one of me great reputed standing. The democracy of the coun- try are opposed to the poliey of the re- publican party, and it is this that they wilt fight against ia the next contest, regardiess of the man who may be drought forward as their standard dearer, whether he be Mr. Blaine or some one of less note. They expect to go into the fight under a leader whose administration has faithfully illustrat- ed the great principles of economy, equity and honesty in governmental | P¥ affairs, and they are going in to win. ey Two young men of Catawba county, says the Chronicle, were arrested at the depot, in that city, Wedmesday morn- ing last, on the charge of robbery.

Vance and Ransom, voted for it. — ee OOO Mrs. David Vance, daughter-in-law of Senator Vance, died in New Orleans acfew days ago. —_ 2... el pe tha Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent.) Washington, Feb. 13th, 1888. To use the words of the genial Sun- set Cox, “We are clearing the decks for the tariff fight,” and Mr. Mills, chair- man of the Ways and Means Commit- tee, and Democratic leader of the House, expresses his belief that the tariff bill will be reported for considera- tion before March 1. Chairman Mills adds that the “newspaper fellows” seem to know a great eel more about the measure than he does. The House has passed the bill retir- ing from circulation the three cent coin, which action will doubtless prove acceptable to many persons who have been the victims of this deceptive money and it is hoped that the Senate will do likewise. Other matters of interest discussed in the House the past week, were the Reading railroad strike, the alleged in- efficient mail service iu the West, and the publication of lottery advertise- ments in the Washington newspapers. Messrs. Cox and Springer amused the House with some animated diseus- sion over a private claim, in which th: latter made a rather pointed and _per- tinent reference to the influence of the lobbyists. Speaker Carlisle has had all of the private wires removed from the Capi- tol, to the grief and disappointment ‘ot several statesmen who have a weakness for dealing in stocks. The event of the weck in the Senate was Riddleberger's defiant expose of the vote upon postponing action upon the British extradition treaty until next December. Senatorial dignity was again rudely shocked, and the Virginia Senator was the recipient of a stern rebuke from the [resident pro tempore, the satirical Ingalls. — It is believed that the Lee really favor the British extradition treaty, but fearing the indignation and resent- ment of the Irish vote, they dared not pass such an unpopular bill in a Presi- dential year. ‘There was scme discus- sion of the Blair bill, but it went over till Wednesday of this week, when a vote will be taken. Mr. Platt made a very flatulent ef- fort in his arraignment of the Presi- dent for his late message. Fora while he was was heard with respectful pa- tience and expectation of something worthy of the subject, but his attempt was “stale, flat and unprofitable,” and a positive weariness to the flesh. There was a debate in the Senate over the great accumulztion and the general worthlessness of the public documents priated by the Government and distributed gratis threugh the mai: by Congressmen. The discussion tend- ed to develop the fact that these docu- ments are almost worthless, even tc junk-dealers. This matter certainly offers a fine field for the reformer. Every year thousands of dollars are spraneeres in printing and taking care of these books, which nobody hardly ever reads. . It is apparent that there will soon be another fight in the Senate simila to the war waged on oleomargarine in the last Congress—this time on lard, adulterated with cotton seed oil and other like substances. It was stated before the Senate agricultural commit- tee, that only one firm now has pure lard on the market. There is a strong probability that four new States will be admitted dur- ing the present session of Congress, a> the Democratic members of the House and Senate Committee on Territories have agreed to favorably report a_ bill for the admission of New Mexico. Montana, and the whole of Dakota. It is thought that the Republicans can not consistently oppose the scheme for political reasons, for though New Mexi- co is Democratic, Dakota is largely Re- publican, while in the other two, neither arty has a pronounced advantage. [i is likely that Dakota's desire for division will met be granted. Neither House was in session on Saturday, and many Congressmen, in- cluding Speaker Carlisle, took advan- tage of the opportunity to make the rounds of the Departments. > Gas Well in Texas. New York, Feb. 11—The World's Fort Worth (Tex.) despatch says that a gas well of great volume has been struck in Pala, Pinto county.

The after-meeting was largely attended and about 20 converts professed religion. Nothing has ever equaled the inteuse interest that prevails. Tuesday morning.—The Bible reading was conducted by the Evangelist, Text Mat. 21 chap. 10 verse. Subject *For- giveness of enemies.” This discus- sion was listened to with the greatest There was no use in think- ing about going to heaven without forgiving enemies on earth. Every time you repeat the Lord's Prayer you ask fergiveness as: you forgive your enémies, and if you from that hour do not forgive your enemies you ought not to repeat the Lord’s Prayer again. Some might ask the question cou! they love their enemies with their wicked deeds, their sin and corruption? Yes, for man is the image of his maker, and if God loves the sinner with all his sins so ought man to love one another. You should seek to win your enemies back from the world and not only pray in_ secret for them, but go to their face and tell them you have forgiven them, and when they see you have taken an interest in them, they will be more willing to repent and turn to the good. Tucsday night.—Preliminary meeting was conducted by W. A. Wood, D. D. Song, ‘Almost persuaded.” The evan- gelist took his text from Judge 3 chap. 33 verse, “I have a message.” committee on ways and means had a lot of cards printed wit one that desired to contribute to the pay of the evangelist—to place the sum and the name of the contributor on this card, and give to the ushers on or before Fri- day night. The commitiee did not promise the evangelist any special sum, and he will only receive the voluntary contributions of the friends of the cause. interest. large, as usual, and about 15 converts pro- fessed. Wednesday morning.—Bible reading. Subject “Sermon to mothers.” The evangelist announced that Mrs. Pearson would have a meeting at the Y. M. C. A.

Hopkins, song Jesus Lover of my soul.” He read the requests for pee and they were, ‘“‘pray for my hus- and,” “fer my wile,” “for my friend,”’ ‘“for the printers of Statesville,” and “for the evangelist, that his health may be strengthened and his body grow in strength as his soul is growing in. the Lord.’ Prayer by Rev. Arrowood. Text John 6 37, “Him that cometh 1 will in no wise cast out.” The preacher spoke of the danger of delay—of the danger of putting off until tomorow the salvation of the soul. ‘To-day is the teae¢hing of God's Gospel.” ‘“fo-morrow is the teaching of the devi!.”” He told of a man who attended his meeting in Missouri, and became serious, but he concluded he would wait a while and in less than chree weeks that min dropped dead, without hope... And the‘ preacher told pathetically of the sudden and sad death of A. C. Harris, of Salisbury, a young man who attended the mecting= ‘und on Friday night went to the after- meeting and professed religion and on Saturday expressed it to his friends as being the happiest day of his life. On that day he wrote his sister, who lived 1 great distance away, a letter and told her he was converted and was going to join the church cn Sunday morning. Saturday night he wrote on the fly leaf of his Bible “The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.” On Sunday morning a few minutes after he had got up, and before he was dressed, he fell over dead. Yes says the preacher, this was a soul saved, and all the evidence went to con- vince us that he went to glory. _ He ap- pealed to the sinners to come to-day “and delay not.” Thursday morning.—Bible reading. Text Matthew 6 chap. 19-21 verse. Sub- ject “Riches.””’ Riches not consecrated is damaging to the soul, while riches conse- srated are a great benefit and result to the glory of God and the well being of the soul. There is a great many visit- ors here and nearly all the hotels and voarding houses are full, and almost every family have some friend or relation visiting them. A committee from Hick- ory came down to invite the evangelist to preach at their place but he could not promise them, as his time is engaged for at least a year ahead. Thursday night.—Preliminary meet- ing by Rev. W. A. Willis. Prayer by Rev. Caldwell. Text John 3 chap. 14 verse, “‘As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so must the son of man be lifted up.” Mr. Pearson told them Fri- day night would be his last meeting at this place, and it was not because he ioved other people better than he did the people of Statesville that he was going to leave, but others were waiting for him and others had his promises to preach tae Gospel to them and he could not remain here all the time. At present there has been about 225 converts made profession of religion, and about 300 backsliders re- claimed and reconsecrated to the Lord. other week the result would be almost as many more. He told the people he wculd have a man who is a good Bible student to remain here next week and with the help of the ministers the good work may go on. Statesville, N. C., Feb. 10th, 1888. Sunday morning 60 members were ad- mitted to the First Presbyterian church 38 to the Methodist, 15 to the Babtist and 4 to the A. S. Presbyterian. A good many have not yet joined any church and a good many will join in the country. “DUKE OF Rowan.” ~~ Hung Herself With a Clothes Line.

Mr. [homas Hebert, returning officer and treasurer of Iberville Parish, and a prominent McEnery man, was killed Tharsday night by Thos. J. Gilday, president of a Nicholasclub. The two, with a party of friends, were ina saloon discussing politics. Gilday be- came very aggressive and accussed Hebert of fraud in the late primaries, and concluded by denouncing him as a liar. Hebert, who was unarmed, ad- vanced upon Gilday, who drew a revol- ver and fired three times. All three shots struck Hebert. The first shot penetrated the arteries leading to the heart, the second passing directly through the heart and the third graz- ing his abdomen. Gilday was .arrest ed and is in jail. There is considerable excitement over the murder in the Parish, and the act is denounced as un- justifiable. Hebert leaves a wife and seven children. In General Debility, Emaciation.

It is a show of wonderful variety—the performance of trained birds, educated dogs and goats, magic, ventriloquism, jugglers, manipu- lators, tumblers, leapers, contortionists, acrobats, musical artists, song, dance artists, and almost everything iu the way of amusement.

Report of Dr. Summere!] in Bulletin of Board of Health for January:—Pneumo- nia and bronchitis have prevailed in some portions of the county. Two cases of diptheria and one of haemorrhagic malarial fever reported. The county in general seems to have been as healthy as usual.

We publish below a letter in relation to the above road which we know will be read with interest. We sincerely hope that this road will be built as it would be of more benefit to the State than any other road thus far projected. Southport, Feb. 21, 1888. Editor Carolina Watchman—Dear sir :— The annual meeting of the Stockholders of the South Atlandc & Northwestern R. R. was held at Southport on Saturday, Feb. 11th. The new board of- Directors was clect- ed, consisting W. H. Phillips, i. J. 8, Wood and L. F. Wepburn, of New York; James FE, Dane and Win. RK. Wilson, oi Elizabeth, N. J.; and Dr. W. G. Curtis, of Southport, N.C. Beyond the election of Directors, the business of the meeting was principally the removal of obstructions which had previously existad to the building of the road, and all that the stockholders could do to that end was happily accomplished. The new board of Directors will meet in New York City on Yhursday, Feb. 16th, for the election of officers. The great enterprise is now thought to be sailing in smooth waters, and it is not expected that there will be much further delay before work begins. Friends of North Carolina may well congratulate themselves that the promo- ters of the road have been possessed of the pluck to fight against the obstacles which have been placed in the way, until success is now about certain. What the bu |. ing of the road would mean is the expenditure of five million dollars in the State, the development of her waste places, the building up of a seaport with- in her limits and a through line of the shortest distance from the great West to the Atlantic. Yours truly, W.G, Cunris. -=—>- Disastrous Fire. About fifteen minutes before eleven o'clock last Tuesday night fire wns dis- covered issuing from the tokacco factory of Johnson & Ramsay, on Main street. The alar,n was quickly given, bu: before the hose could be brought aud connected with the hydrants, the whole top of the building was in flames. It was seen at onee that the building could uot be saved and the efforts of the firemen were di- rected towards saving the adjoining buildings, and right manfully did they work, and with such success that the flames were entirely confined to the one building, even though on one side, not more than ten feet away, was a frame building and on another side another frame heuse not more than twenty-five feet distance. Messrs. Johnson & Ramsay were in- sured to the amount of $5,000 on their stock and $1,250 on their fixtures. The building was an old landmark, having been built 75 or 80 years ago for a jail, and was owned by Mr. John Hedrick. We understand there was no insurance on it. Wheo the alarm was sounded there was about eighty feet of water in the stand-pipe, giving a pressure of 35 pounds to the square inch. The engineer at the pumps was t-leph ned, and in four minutes had the pumps running and was pumping direct into the mains. That our water works are a success, every one that was at this, our first fire since their completion, attest, and loud is the praise.

We wish him better luck this time. Mrs. Trexler, mother of Rev. H. A. Trexler, is dangerously ill. An incura- ble cancer seems to be the trouble. Prof. 8. H.

A Wholesale Poisoner Guilty. Boston, Keb. 11.--The jury in the case of Mrs. Surah J. Robinson, the aleged wholesale poisoner,this morning render- ed a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. In this trial she was charged with the murder of Prince Arther Freeman, her nephew. She had reviously been tried on a charge of lilting her son and daughter, but the jury disagreed. The incentive to all the crimes with which she is cbarged was alleged to be securing the life in- surance of her victims. The seven supposed victims of Mrs. Robinson's oisoning were Moses, her husband; Vigne J., her danghter; W. J., her son; Prince Arthur Freeman, her brother- in-law; Mrs. P. “A. Freeman, her sis- ter, and Oiiver Sleeper, who boardcd in her house. TT TE MARRIED. In Rockwell Township, this county, on the 9th inst., by Rev. H. A. Trexler, Mr. Paul H. D.

Smith, the only daughter of the late William and Priscilla Gibson, aged about 77 years. Very much might be said of this most excellent lady. She was dearly be- loved by those who knew her, for her refinement of manners, gentleness of dis- position, sineerity and unaflected sim- plicity; for her pious and humble walk and vonversation; and her uncomplain- ing endurance of trials of both body and mind, through years of self-denia] and fatigue. Mrs. Smith was a daughter tenderly beloved by her parents i brothers, all of whom have gone to their final rest. She was the last representa- tive of hcr father’s family.

The property, as the name sug- gests, is owned and cperated by Balti- more capitalists, and ‘the ‘company is ably represented by Mr. W. Lewis, super- intendent. The vein is a fissure in granite, the formation ia laureutian, and the charae- ter of the ore is a heavy sulphide below the water level, which occurs at that place at forty fect from the surface. Above that depth the ores are what is found in the middle gold belt of the State —brown free milling ores. The value of this material is reported very high, as high, indeed, as $80 to the ton, which is uncommon fine for N.C. sulphides. This value, however, must depend consider- ably on the width of the yein, which con- tracts in some places to six inches, which should represent the ri€hest ore. It also expands to 3 feet in width, and the pre- sumption is that this Glass of ore is not so rich as that in the smaller portions of the vein. Such is, however, the general rule in the lentictalar yeins, or “chim- nies”’ in this Sfate. They have reached; 41r the develop- ment of this mife, a depth of 250 feet in the pump or main shaft, “The extent of undergreund work may be summed up as follows: The 150 foot level is driven 160 feet north from the pump shaft; 200 foot levelis driven north 185 feet and south 26 feet the 250 foot level has been driven north of pump shaft, 60 feet. We have not been informed as to the amount of stoping done. They have some build- ings which were built last summer, and are in a fair condition. They havea fair plant of machinery, which includes a ten inch pole and ejector ta, fork out water and a 60 horsepower Erie City boiler, all new. The prospects of the property are considered good. At. present they are working a force of only 14 hands. Through the kindness of Mr. Judd, we have received for our eabinet a beautiful fourteen pound specimen of ore from the Upeast shaft of the Stanly Freehold mines. This piece of ore shows free gold in fifteen different places and we were told that this was a fuir sample of what the mill was now running on.

The cost is from $6 to $8, according to the distance, and there always are seme incidentals. Now $6 or $8 is a pretty large sum én a tenement, and the outlay of it for ‘a cariiage to attend a funeral is in many cases simply the throwing away of money that is needed at home, Too often when the landlord or agent calls for his rent he is told: “I had to go to a funeral, sir, and there isn’t a dol- Yar in the house.” Very often, too, ‘whet the grocer asks for his bill, he is alse told that the money was spent at a funeral —possibly of a mere aqcvain- tance or some distant relative—and there's nothing for him.

Broken Legs. I have known valuable horses as well as other animals to be killed because of their legs having been broken, a large proportion of which could have been sived by proper treatment. The diffi- culty in managing an animal with a broken Jeg in the ordinary way is that it keeps straining the limb, thus pre- venting the broken parts from knitting together. If the leg is swollen cold water is one of the best applications for removing the swelling, and this ¢hould have immediate attention. After the bone is carefully se® encase the fractured part (both above and below) with heavy leather, somewhat in the form of a boot-leg. Tin or wood might answer the same purpose. It should be large enough to leave two inches space all around the leg, which space shou'd be filled in with solid wet paste of Paris. This will harden very quickly, and hold ihe bone as se- vurely in position as though it were in a block of wood, but still allowing a free circulation of blood within the leg. _—— ~~ oe ______—_ Alum Purifies Water. Alam is said to have power to purify water and even to deprive it of most of the bacteria that it sometimes con- tains. That muddy water can be cleared by alum has fong been known; hut it is a comparatively recent discov- ery that a very small quantity of alum, so small that it is not injurious to drink the water that contains it, will rid water of nearly all its bacteria. A Pennsylvania physician found that the water that was drawn by the people of a village where typhoid fever was epidemic, was swarming with bacteria. Fifteen drops of it, when spread upon a suitable surface, were capable of forming 8,100 colonies of these micros- copic vegetal germs. He added alum, in the proportion of half a grain to a gallon and found that not only was the earthly and vegetable matters pre- cipitated, but that the colonies of bac- teria were 1educed from 8,100 to 80, and that these were of large size.— Good Housekeeping. ~<—>-— For three weeks I was suffering from a severe cold in my head, accompanied by :R pain in the temples.

The boys whe early learn to work will make the men, will rule the world a few years hence. They may be poor, with scarcely shoes to their feet, or huts to their heads; they may live on the plainest and cheapest fuod known to us, but that amounts to nothing in the outcome, if they have learned to work and save their earning. An easier time for them is in the near future, and they will turn out to be the men of substance, of will and brain power, who will shape the destiny of the country, State and nation. Learn to work, and make your business the ssudy and care of your life, and the reward will come without special seek- ing. Habits of industry are things of growth, like the fruit of trees, smal] and worthless at first, buf by slow de grees they become valuable, and in the end bring plenty, peace and happiness to those who havethem. Vain are the hopes of those who expect success in life without earnest, systematic and persistent toil either of body or mind. Wrecks of this class of boys and girls- may be seen in almost every commu- nity—worthless hulks, clogging the wheels of industry; and when gone, missed as a blessing or relief to those on whom they leaned. Let girls as well as boys learn to do something by which, in the end, they can support themselves. Parents and friends pass away to the grave, one by one; then woe to those who depend on them, if without the skill of training to sup- port themselves. Parents who permit their children to grow up without habits of industry and without skill in some useful employment, are inflicting upon them a curse which will follow them through life, and which will de scend to children’s children for several generations. the State which ¢ourts, preachers and time cannot ever wholly wipe out, They leave a curse on teachers, er . = eT > > > - aiate Step tS Moe ee Teese S tniee of . > eue * we ri re of i a epstaems, Fh > oa { s t Eo ee wat 7“.

His’ Done ja the Past—What it Proroses to do in the periment Station wes established by an Act of General Assembly in 1877, just ten years ago, which Act the same time established a Department of Agriculture and of Immigration and Statisties, The objects for which the estublish- ment of the Experiment Station were desired were two-fold : 1st. To protect the farmers of the State from the fraudulent fertilizers then flooding the market, to exercise a geferal control of the trade by a sys- tem of inspecting all bronds legally on sale in the State, and by a chemical analysis of these samples to ascertain if their qualities were up to a certain guaranteed standard : | 2nd. To carry on experiments in the field (in the language of the Code) “On the nutrition and growth of plants with a view to ascertain what fertilizers are best suited to the various erops of this State, and whether other crops may not be advantageously grown on its soil.” As to whether the Station has ful- filled the requirements in respect to the first, in the proper control of the fertilizer trade, the following statement will show. 1. Prior te 1887 no less than 125 brands of fertilizers were sold in the State, and of such a character that no confidence could be placed in them or their quailities. A good fertilizer pro- ducing excellent crops the first year might prove worthless the next. The farmers had absolately noredress. On every hand fraudulent fertilizers were sold and no farmer could by any pos- sible way tell whether three-fourths or nine-tenths was sand. The ple had lost all confidence in their sale and at the time of the estublishment of the Experiment Station scarcely 40,000 tons were sold annually, not from the fact that all fertilizers were made at home (would that it could be so!) but owing'to the entire loss of confidence everyone had in the trade. What were the people to do—the use of fertilizers for piant food on most of our lands is as necessary to the growth of the crop as food is to a baby. They must be used, there is no help for it, and yet the farmers of the year 1877 and before, were paying millions of dollars annually for sand te haul on the soil, in many instances already too sandy. In fact a certain manufacturer sold many tons of a stuff containing con- mon sand, which he claimed was as good as ammonia, and the tarmers paid him 8 cents per pound for it, because they had n> means tor proving that it was valueless, 2. After the law went into force, 80 out of these 125 fertilizers were driven from the State, and the remainder were greatly improved in quality and have continued to improve ever since. The following extract from the Station’s Report, for 1886, will give to our farm- ers some idea cf the imprcovenent of the fertilizers sold. The average per cent. of available phosphoric acid has increased from $7.40 in 1880 to $8.69 in 1886; the average per cent. of potash has” in- creased from $1.30 in 1880 to $2.30 in 1886, while the per cent. of ammonia remains remarkably near one figure for all the years except 1883, when ammoniates were unusually scarce. Thus the valuation of the average fer- tilizer, using the prices of 1886 for all analyses alike, has, with a few fluctua- tions, steadily climbed up from $21.04 per ten in 1880 to $24.52 per ton in 1885, and $23.44 in 1886. The most remarkable thing is that during this period, 1880 to 1886, the actual cash pri-es paid by North Carolina farmers for these fertilizers has decreased 25 er cent., while the quality of grade Eas improved 14 percent. This means that North Carolina farmers could get, in 1886, for three millions of dollars what they had to pay four millions for in 1880—yes, and get an article one-seventh better than the 1880 article was. 3. The station has endeavored to ex- tend information on all mgtters per- taining to scientific agriculture by printing numerous publications—over sixty separate reports, pamphlets, for- mulas for composts, tables of analyses of fertilizers, &. 120,000 of these ublications have been distributed hegateunt throughout the State, and in addition the monthly Bulletin has largely increased this circulation. The effect of these publications has been of the greatest service to the people of the State, individually and collectively. ‘4. By the Station's urgent advice, thousands of home-made composts have been made by farmers in every section of the State, and the farmers have learnt that every pound of compost put up means so much money in their pockets. To further aid in the work, these composts have been, when re- uested, analyzed by the Station. Over hres hundred of these and other home farmer shown. | 5.

As a further check upon the trade, and in order to educate our farmers on this subject, the Experi- ment Station makes analyses of sam- of fertilizers, chemicals, composts, for actual North Carolina Farm- ers, free of charge, provided the sain- ples are taken and forwarded according ples to our directions. 10. The Station has stimulated-home growth of industries in such a way that while in 1878 there were only one fer- tilizer factory in the State, now there are ten. Cotton Seed Oil Mills have increased in number from none in 1878 to 9 at present. Many waste products have been utilized in the manufacture of waste products for making standard fertilizers—for example, tobacco stems, cotton seed meal, refyse from fish fac- tories, &e. 11. When the coal exploration was made by the Department of Agricul- ture in the Deep River and Dan River Sections the Stations analyzed for this survey all the samples of coal obtained, and so, largely aided in this wo ores identified and assured. 13.

As far as the fer- follow- ing will give an estimate—on an aver- age 250 fertilizers are analyzed every year.

SNE io “Farmers’ Alliance.” We are pleased te sce that there was a ‘Farmers’ Alliance’ organized at Wood Grove P. O., in this county a few days ago. The farmers have organized under this name in many counties of the State, and the work still goes bravely on. We suppose the design cemprehends, mainly, the design sought to be accomplished by the Grange organizations of 1872-3-4. Like that, the ‘Farmers’ Alliance” is a secret organization, we believe, only ad- mitting to its councils regularly initiated members, This may be a necessary though perhaps an unfortunate feature of the institution. Nevertheless we hope there is good in it for the farmers, and that they may work it ina practical way It might be profitable for each member ot the organization to keep a book account between himsclf and the itstitution so as to be able to prove its usefulness. Set down on one side the value of each day spent in attending meetings, the cost in cash or material to which it subjects him, &c., and on the other side enter up the value of the advantages derived from it. A just account of this sort will show him what there i6 in it; and that, it would seem, ought to be worth knowing. ><> Hot Springs. The Asheville Citizen speaking of Hot Springs, says: “The town has rapidly improved since we were last there. Three handsome church edifices have been completed, new'streets laid off, and buildings are be- coming quite thick. The mills for grind- ing barytes are working to their fullest capacity, and other industrial enterprises are spoken of. This valley is, however, admirably adapted to the culture of grapes and pears as well as other fruits, and this must become at an early date a most important industry. Lands can be bought reasonably low now, and he who now ventures upon fruit culture will soon reap his reward. Carloads of fruits and vegetables ought to be shipped from this valley every year and we hope to live to sec it done, Friday Mr. S. Hf. Wiley, trustee, sold at public auction a tract of from two to three thousand acres of land lying oppo- site and above the Hot Springs, includ- ing the famous Lovers’ Leap and Moun- tain Island. Mr. T. F. Kluttz, of Salis- bury, was the purchaser, for $1,850. There is a large quantity of the finest to- bacco land in the tract, and large quanti- ties of the finest white pine, hemlock, hickory, and other timbers. Mr. Kluttz yot a good bargain.”’ —__~--»-- Court. Court is in session here this week, with Judge H. G. Connor on the bench. The following cases have been disposed of: A. H.

Wheat is looking unusually fine, espe- cially that pnt in with a drill, and guano used, There is not much of interest transpir- ing in Franklin at present. When the weather is favorable the farmers are turning land for the next crop, preparing composts, &c. We thing our dogs can dutbark, and our steam whistles outblow those of —— Pandemonium itself, if they have them there, and yet some people enjoy it all the same. We spent a pleasant day last week in the thriving little village of Franklin, where we found Mr, Henry Lentz cater- ing to the wants of his customers. He keeps a pretty general assortment of goods and has built up a considerable trade. The public roads are without excep- tion, the worst we have ever seen, and it is impossible to make them any better until they dry off later in the season. In the mean time people are trespassing extensively, by driving and riding in the edge of fields adjacent to the roads. This is Very wrong and should be stopped. Some one will be made an example of, if it is persisted in much longer. We spent seyeral hours in the new Academy at Franklin, It is a well ar- ranged building, well fir ished, and sup- plied with good, substantial furniture, and capable of accommodating a large number of pupils. One thing we noticed, the Academy stands on the very highest point in the village, with the ground slightly descending in every direction. Prof. Thompson who has charge of the school, seems to bea man of great energy. He now has a largo class, and we are told he gives eutire satisfaction. In con- nection with the school, there is now a considerable class taking music ‘essons under the tuition of Miss Sallie Neems. We had the pleasure of hearing her per- form on their splendid new instrument, and she seems to be an accem plished pianist. Taking it all in all, the pros- pects of Franklin Academy scems bright- er than they have for many years, Fox hunters (from other townships) have been abroad in our midst. A large number of our farms have been posted aguinst hunting with dogs, guns, ete. This, of course, embraces fox hunting, and they should be careful to learn first whether it will be permitted, else they might get into trouble. Fex hunting at best is a poor business, a relict of barbar- ous times, a sport in which we never could see any enjoyment. Men start out long before day, and if they get a race it tukes hard riding, and they rush pell- mell through cultivated fields, throwing down or jumping fences, to keep in hear- ing of the hounds, and whether they catch the fox or not, it is all the same, they are sure to ride by town or the nearest grog shop to “liquor up,” thus loosing the entire day from their farms or other business. It is seldom ever the case that an inverate fox hunteis succeed in anything, and certainly not in improving their morals. os Qe New Tailoring Establishment. Mr. Thos. L. Kelly, of Virginia, has just settled at the Mansion House in this place, for the purpose of opening a first class Tailoring House.

Qn the contrary, we are doing more just now than we have been fot some time} aud the returnsareas satis- factory as at uny time during the past six months, : We did expend during the lost year pearly three thousad dollars more than receipts, on accotint of extrnordinary developments. Within the past twelve months we have constructed one or two large reservoirs, have run a tunnel through a good sized hill for the purpose of cafrying water, have doubled the ca- pacity of one of our ditch lines 1or more than a mile, have sunk three immense pits in Muddy Creek Valley, for the purpose of testing the gravel from stirface to bed rock, and have opened up twelve or thirteen gold beariug veins of quartz. The development of these veins, strip- ping some of them for many feet, in order to show their true fissure quality, has greatly added tothe value of the property. So instead ofthe company’s property being in the condition your article would infer we are just the reverse, the reported abundance of quartz now being proved a realty. Furthermore during the past year we have had tested eighteen tons of the quartz—nearly all at a mill four miles away—and it has been proved that it can be mined and milled and the pso- duct prepared for market, leaving a margin of over one hundred per cent. for profit. H.C. DEMMING, Sec’y and General Manager. The above explains itself, and it is only4 necessary to state that the information had by the writer, of which this is a cor- rection, was received from a stockholder in Harrisburg, and if it was an error it came from interested parties. The WATCHMAN does not, under such circum- stances, feel that it is under any further obligations than to give the above to the public. It is gratifying intelligence—that which tells of the success of any mining or other industrial yenture—and as such it may prove of interest. GRANVILLE COUNTY. The cupriferous deposits of Granvillle seem at last ina fair way to be developed. Heretofore but little real searching prospecting has been done. Shallow shafts have been sunk and pretty speci- mens taken from the veins near the sur- face. Recently the Blue Wing Coppcr Co., composed of moneyed Pennsylva- nians, has purchused property—KRoyster mines—and propose to make a practical examination at a depth heretofore unex- plored. Their research will be watched wiih interest as it is likely, in case of success, that the whole region will be- cuine active since the formation seems to be homogeneous. The success of one vein will be a fair basis of operation for the whole Blue Wing district. APPALACHIAN MINE. It is said that this property is to con- tinue active; that the debts of the com- pany are to be paid and the prosp-cts are said to be good. This latter is a fair presumption, as the property has had a good name for years. The writer looked into the open cut when it was only 15 or 18 feet deep, and they were taking out a fair grade of ore at that time, and the place gave promise of proving reliable for years tocome. It is the intention of the management to sink the main working shaft to a considerable depth before doing any other work. This isadvisab'e, asthe present depth does not exceed 180 feet, where they are reported as having a fair vein. Some Tennessee capitalists are prepar- ing to work some of the now idle mica mines in Mitchell county. Absolutely Pure. This powdernever varies. A marve! of purity strength,and wholesomeness.

It does not matter whether he has goods for sale, or work to perform, or a trade } journal to circulate; the requisites for successful advertising are the same,} and the first is to offer something good to your public. And the next 1s to keep on making it known antil you have secured the attention of your peo- ple, and mind, never drop off unless You want to be forgotton and have to do some of your work over again. It js easier to underdo than overdo adver- tising. The experience of advertisers in all times has been that constancy in ad- vertising is absolutely indispensable. This seems to be a requisite so essential that it perhaps outweighs that which we placed first, namely, having seme- thing really good to advertise. Scores of instances are known to us in which worthless or even harmless articles, as certain alleged remedies for vurious achis and sufferings, both of man and beast, have attained immense sale s merely im consequence of persistent advertising. On the other hand, many useful articles fail to become popular because the proprietor gave up in dis- gust on finding that the public or the trade did not respond to Ins advertising attempts.— American Art Printing. —<———$$ aa i oe The Tax Collector in Russia. ‘Taxes are based upon the estimates of the collector as to what can be paid. There were appraisements of property and there are «ppraisements yet. The list of nobles, however, pay onl) enough to keep up the appearance of paying. The middle classes— those who have enough property in farms, ete., to make them a living when worked, and those who gererally be- come Nihilists on account of the despot- ism—pay the burden. The tax collec- tor watches closely the property of these people, and if they reroof a house. paint, build a new structure or fence. a “reappraisement” is directly made, though the man may have just paid his taxes, and additional taxes are demand- ed. They must be paid instantly. The law about confiscating property of per- ns who refuse to pay taxes is supply awful. If the property owner nrakes any fuss about the mutter he is classed as a conspirator, a conniver against the government, and some fine day or night he is called upon by officers who look like innocent citizeus. He leaves his family “to go to town,” and next ihe is seen in the spirit land. He goes ‘te the shooting gallery or Siberia.— Moscow correspondent New Orleans L'imes- Democrat. ——— D> ae Altered Treasury Notes Abroad. The sub-treasury received the oth r day, from three separate sources, thive silver certificates which had been raised irom two to five dollars. An east banker brought in one of them, but another came in a package of money from a west side bank. ‘The name ot the bank was kept secret. The changes in the note were well done, but they were not likely to deceive an average examiner. The figure 2 on the face ef the note had evidently been erased andu 5 of the same size had been stamped in its place. The word two had been treated in the same way and tive substituted. The figure on the back of the note and the smaller ones on both sides had been removed, but no attempt had been made to fill their places. fn appearance, the notes were worn and shabby, although they were probably new when the changes were raade. The vignette on the $2 certifi- cate is on the right. Cashier Sherer said: “We do not fear that any of these notes will pass us, but there may be many of them in circulation, and we wish simply to call attention to them. The slightest examination will expose the character of the altered note.’—N. Y. Tribune, es There are enough miles of railroad in the United States to girdle the earth tive anda half times. Over half a million of men are engaged in opera- ting these roads. ‘There are thirty thousand locomotives, twenty thou- sand passenger cars, and eight hun- dred ann seventy-four thousa:d freight cars in the United States. oo — There is one great trouble among the young men of the present day— they are ashamed to take off their coats and get dewn to hard work.

And she’s too wise to go astray— Nor would not if she could do wrong; young people and the mania sometimes ollows them through life. Hence we find them committing matrimony from the {ime they are “of age” until they turn the late corners of seventy or eighty. But with all this marrying and giv- ing in marriage, when the results are footed up, the prodoct, in a majority of cuses. is either indifference or misery. Out of this well-known fact his arisen all kinds of theories in relation to social life, and any amount of abuse is poored upon the marriage covenant, especially by these who are unhappy in their domestic relations. It never occurs to them that they are responsi- ble in arfy degree for the result of their actions or that they are paying the penalty of their own rashness. Neith- er do the young, or even the middle- aged, take any warning from the mar- ried lives around then, but rush into the bends of matrimony with their eyes shut and their reasoning powers entirely dormant. Thus the tide rolls on, and the divorce courts pour out the disgusting details of demestic suf- fering. The marriage covenant is the high- est and purest relation that God has given us, save that of parentage. It is the bond of earthly happiness and the center of purity and truth. But un- less its altars are lighted with love, its hearthstone is desolate, and its very uame isa mockery. The institution of marriage is in no way responsible for the accumulated suffering that too of- ten surround it. The tromble is that people will marry for any thing and every thing except pure affection. Girls will marry fer the sake of having a wedding, or to keep from being an said the Philadelphia Press reporter. “and a white head of hair like that?” “My hair changed its color in a night when I was fifteen years of nee.” Of course, that led to « request for the mony of the cause which ‘Tom Eck. the champion tryciclist of the w shout a follows: worlds told “Fifteen vears-ago I was livin Port Perry, in Caran and one a Ee noon I went out on Lake Scugog with four other boys of about my ago.

They depend as muc.. or more on that than on the value of the article offer- ed for sale. It is their game to deceive uninformed people into believmg their statements. Credulous people are easi- ly victimized. But for these the ped- lar’s trade would die out. And that would be a misfortune in one respect: in depriving people of a fruitf ul topic of conversation. If neighbor Slack hap- pens to be caught by one of these sharp traders, and is made to pay two prices for an article, the whole neighborhood soon hears of it, and immediately takes it up as a standing theme of con- versation for a week or a month. The Slack family themselves are nut averse to dilating upon it, but rather enter upon it with a tone akin to pleasure. This is so apparent that the observant man is at once impressed with the idea to be a matter of secondary importance, hence they will promise to “love, honor and obey” almost any thing in the shape of a man ora dandy, whether his brain is cool or soaked in whisky. whether his morals are pure or whether he has any morals at all. And then because they are not happy they will declare that ‘men ure all alike and marriage is a curse to humanity.” If a girl marries for money, and gets it, she has no right te complain of the re- sult. the bidding. and a very convenient article im house- that people do like to be humbugged ! They enjoy it, evidently, or they would not be so fond of talking about it. And yet it is a costly luxury. There isn't much fun in paying a pedlar 360 for a cook stove that can be bought in your county town for $30. There is not much in paying $65 for a sew- ing machine only worth $35. And the man who pays $20 for a lightning rod not well connected with a good conduc- tor .cep down in the earth, invites the lightning to come and burn him ovt. His money is gone, and his house is in more danger than it was before. And he who exchanges “an old time clack” for a*showy one of modern make, is apt to get the bad end of the trade, but he gains something to talk about, and that generally satisfies him. The high- wayman, though he takes but a trifle, is pursued by officers with guns, and his victim joins in the chase. But the artful speculator departs in peace—a fellow—while his dupe is left complacent mood to tell how the fe!- low cheated him. Hence it would seem that the turpitude of robbery depends on the humor of its victim. —- Sizes in Clothing. It is astonishing to observe how few people understand the common rules of measurement in purchasing wearing apparei. For instance a man will buy a coat that is a “size” too small or too large. A “size” smaller or a “size larger is what he probably needs, but he probably does not know what a size is, Well, a “size” in a coat is an inch, a size in underwear is 2 inches, a size in a sock is 1 inch, in a collar 4 inch; in a shirt, 4 inch, in shoes 1-16 of an inch, pants 1 inch, gloves } of an inch and in hats 3 of an inch. Very few persons ever understand the sched- ule named. happy ‘old maid.’ What they marry seems If love was not invited at thie wedding, happiness will net come at oney is good in its place keeping, but it never purchased happi- ness, and nature seems to compensate by sending more love to the hovel than to the palace. A large exchequer is no detriment to a good hneband, but don't, for heaven's sa'ce, marry a fool or a brute, because, forsooth, he owns a few greenbacks. Wealth is safer, after all, in a man’s head than in his pocket, for brains are not, like other stocks, liable to go down in a financial panic, and fire will sweep through a block of tenement houses, wile tle investment under his hat is left unscathed. But woman is not the only victim who is oceasionall “sold” in the matrimonial market. Men who pride themselves upon their good sense often marry for beauty, and tind it fac- ing quickly upon their hands. Men who flatter themselves that they are very shrewd, will marry an idle. helpless girl, in order to get the few thousands that her father is willing to give to have her taken off his hands. If the bridegroom were as shrewd as he thinks he is, he would prefer to take his hundred thousand dollars all in w/e than to take one half in cash and the other half in dry-goods and jewelry, weak nerves and neuralgia. Another fatal mistake is for a mid- dle-aged man to marry a young wife and fancy that his happiness will he complete. The bride, of course, has made a foolish bargain, and one that coming years will chain with deep re- gret, but neither she nor her friends need flatter themselves that the sacri- fice is all on her side. Incompatibility affects both parties alike, and if mar- riage is net harmonious and loving, if becomes a’ galling fetter that grows more cruel as the years go by. ‘True marriage is a union of hearts and hands, cemented with a love that 1s deep enough to make sweet the dark passages of life—a love that is brave enough to make cheerfulness dwell in the shadow of poverty, and strong enough to make even a sacrifice for the loved one apleasure. Then the years that go smiling by will strengthen the bond, and the great sorrows that haont life’s pathway will bind the twain closer together. Then, indeed, a new love will have been born—a love which is deeper and richer, more sacred and tender, than that which blessed the first bridal morn. These are they “whom God hath joined,” and they will walk through life with hearts so warm, and hands so close together that the outside storms and trials will beat npon then comparatively in vain. __ eee OR How 2 Woman Doe: it.

One of us got on top and with a paddle trying to make her move toward shore; but it was poor business with three hanging on and a mast dragging be- low. Once I got caught in the ropes as the boat turned and I thought it was all up with me. One boy got his kuife and cut the rope. Poor fellow! he was drowned. He held on to the opposite side of the boat and got gradually weaker and weaker till he sank. Then we fixed it by the one on my side going around the boat, and we clasped hands across the bottom. I becamie insensi- ble an hour before we were rescued and had to be held up by the other two boys. “A girl going after the cows heard us shouting, but supposed we were out swimming. When her father came home at night she saidesoniething about bovs swimming in thelake. He knew no one would be doing so at that time of the year and hurried down to see what was the matter, and was soon rowing out for us. ‘They lifted me in first and then the one opposite me, and as soon as he was in the boat he became insensible. He came around in an hour, but it was eight hours be- fore I opened my eyes. They told me a sailor, who had heard of the drowned boys, caine to the house and knelt on my chest, then he breathed or blew down my throat, and kept this up till one of my eyelids twitched. After that they tncked me up m_ blankets with saddl-bags and hot-water bottles all around me.

He stucd gazing af it and thinking of the stories hig father had told him of buffalo hunting, wher a mischievous urchin, who was hidden: behind the‘animal, shoved it forward, slightly. “Thé little boy, Walters, was entirely unprepared for movement on the part of the bison. The shock to his nervous system was so sudden und so violent that he became absolutely paralyzed. For eight months he ap- parently had no control over his ac- tions; his appearance was that of & complete idiot and he had no knowl edge whatever of any thing that he had learned. Even the names of the mem- bers of his family were forgotten. For about eight month8 this poor boy's mind was an absolute blank and for a long time his parents despaired of the restoration of his reason. Finally, however, in February of last year, he suddenly recollected something of the buffalo, and his first thought was that he had been impaled on the animal's horns. This was the first glimpse of reason which seemed to have permeated the gray matter of his brain, but since that time he has slowly though steadi- lyimproved.

From the Troy Times. Speaking of anthems reminds me of the story of two old British sailors why were talking over shore experience. One had been to a cathedral and had heard some very fine music, and was descanting particularly upon an ape them which gave him much pleasure. His shipmates listencd for a while and then said: “I say, Mill, what's an anthem?” “What?” replied Bill, %do you mean to say you doen't kwow whut ahanthem is 7’ “Not me.” “Well, then I'll tell yer. If 1 was to say to yer, ‘Ere, Bill, give me that “andspike,’ that wouldn't be a hanthem. But was I to say, *Bill-Bill-Bill-giv-giv-giv-giv me, giv me that hand, giv me thet hand, hand-spike, » nke-spike-spike-Bjll giv-giv me that-that-hund-handspike, hand-handspike, spike, spike, spjke, aB- men, ah-nien; Baill, giventet uthand- spike, spike, ah-men! Why, that would be an hanthem.” But the worst feature of the “han- thein” is that you can't understand a word of it. It is a'] sound, so far as the congregation is concerned, and about as edifying as an address im an unkvown tongue. A Girl's Hasty Marriage.

Our correspondent, * A Farmer of Locke,” appeals to his brother farmers on the road question. The reader may determine for himself whether or not he makes a correct statement of the case in respect to the hands who are called out to work on the roads. The _ work performed under the present sys- tem, it must be admitted, 1s very poor: scarcely worthy of the name of repairs. Nor can it ever be any better under the same system. A change 15 imper- ative. As the population and business of the country increase, the use of the roads increases, and the wear and tear of them augmented. The,present im- perfect system of repairing them may answer in a sparsely settled section, where the travel is not great enough to eut them up as 1s now the case with ws. These are obvious facts, seen and known to all; and they point unerr- ingly to the necessity of a change in our road working. We have come to atime of demand on the roads which old-time work cannot meet. We must now have something more substantial than pine tops dropped into the mud holes and a few shovels of dirt thrown on them. One or two teams may pass over such work without going through it ; but it is totally inadequate for the strain now put upon the roads leading into town. What, then, is the use of persisting in a system which is a con- stant failure, a mockery, and a hin- drance to business ? We have no doubt our County Com- missioners, individually at least, have puzzled themselves over this question, end perhaps have wished to be clear of all responsibility in connection with it. The institution of a new system equal to the necessities of the County will re- quire more work and more money than they are authorized to demand of the people without their consent. It falls back upon the people themselves, then, to say how much they are willing to pay for better roads; and in order that they may be heard from, we invite re- sponses from all parts of the County, —_——_-a>———_—_ A Use for the Surplus. A correspondent of the Country Gen- fleman suggests the following asa solu- tion of the road-improving problem: Let the government use the surplus, yearly accumulating in the United States Trea- sury,in publicimprov’ments,especially in the direction of better roads. It has aid- ed railroads to open this country—now let it aid the farmer to reach the railroad, not as a gift, but asa loan, at a low rate of interest, just sufficient to pay the ex- pense, and on condition that the town or cvunty raise an equal sum to be expended with it, and the whole to be under the control of the proper officials, and expend- ed in the proper manner, This would solve at once two problems—how to use the surplus, and how to obtain good roads. This is the very best proposition w, have seen looking to a reduction of the ever accumulating surplus. Issue to townships, counties and towns, bonds at a low rate of interest, payable in 50 or 100 years, and allow its expenditure for macadamizing publie roads only, and the surplus will not be long in the treasury. In this way the farmers cou'd be actually benefitted ; they could pay a little more tax for school purposes and not need Blair's Federal supervis- ion. This is practical, non-political, and would be but a just return to the whole people of part of the money that has been needlessly drawn from their scanty means.

President Cleveland had a cheering reception all along his route goinghto i and returning from Florida. It will cratify many readers to see how he was received. ead the following : — CHARLESTON, 0.C., Feb. 25th. The presidential party arrived here at 9.54 this morning and were received at the station by the mayor and a com- mittee of eighty aldermen and citizens. They drove through the principal streets with a military escort consist- ing of the Charleston Light Dragoons | ; and the Gorman Hussars. Upon arri- val of the train a Presidential salute], of twenty-one guus was fired by the detachments of the German and Lafay- ette Artillery. At least 49,000 persons were on the strects during the passage of the party and the air was rent with enthusiastic cheers. There was a sky of unclouded blue and the temperature was that of spring. The party left at 11.15 o'clock, a.m. The Presidential train was loaded down with flowers, the baggage car pee suey filled with floral offerings and tropical fruits. Two pet alligators are a part of the museum of curiosities from Florida. There was no formal speech-making in Charleston.

The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Brown ys. the Commis- sioners of Heraford, reported to-day, covers a very important and interesting point. An amendment to the Constitution adopted in 1875 invested the Legisla- ture with the mght to modify, change or abrogate any or all of the provisions | 4 of Article 7 of the Constitution relat- ing to municipal corporations, and sub- stitute others in their place, except sec- tions seven, nine and thirteen. The Legislature exercised the power aid made cortain changes. Thereupon it has been a mooted question whether the power, having been once exercised, | 5 was not thereby exhausted. The ques- ‘ion has arisen in connection with the present system of “County Govern- ment,” it being suggested that the sys- tem established by the Legislature is now a part of the Constitution and be- yond lie power of the Legislature to further modify. a The decision of the Supreme Court elsewhere published indicates that this view cannot be maintained, but thatthe Legislature has the power to modify |b the system from time to time; and it would seem also that the decision gives countenance to the suggestion that the Legislature has the power to dispense with the present uniformity of the sys- tem. It is a trite saying that the Legis- lature of a sovereign State is supreme, except so far as it is restrained by some liniitation expressed in the Constitution. Whether there is any provision of the Constitution requiring uniformity in the system is a question we have not investigated.— News & Observer. A RICH GOLD MINE. Mr. Jack Reinhardt, of Lincoln coun- iy, has struck a veritable bonanza. At least he has found a gold mine, in a cotton field on his farm, for which he has been offered $20,000 in cash, which offer he refused to accept. The ore un- covered is of the richest quality, and the vein is a large and well defined one. Parties who have seen it and who are competent to judge, say that it is one of the richest mines ever developed in this section.—Charlotte Chronicle. t AN AFFAIR IN CATAWBA, |t fl a e ¥ a 8 Andrew Connelly, the man who was shot by J.

As the roads have been worse this winter than before, I think we ought to hit on some better plan to keep them up than we have. Az it is now, some hands ‘work, some have no tools, and others won’t work at all. They that do work hasten through it to get home to their farms. They that won’t work and they who have no tools, don’t care how long they stay on the road—it is all the same to them, so I think we ought to fall on some better plan to keep up the pullie roads, and so that farmers could stay at their farming work iustead of being on the road witha company of hands doing nothing but idling their time away. If we don’t get better roads it will be unsafe to start to market with a load of produce, and if the farmers can’t haul their produce in win- ter and early spring, they wi!l not have time to haul it except by losing part of their crop time, and that ought not to be lost.—Now let us hear from some of the farmers of Rowan on this interesting sub- ject, of such great importance to ns all.

AL W. Hanais, Louisville, Ky, eel : sane INTERESTING TO FARMERS. From Baltimore Manufacturers’ Record. Prepare for Ware. Do not be startled, friends! The Record has no reason to suppose that this country is in immediate danger of engaging in war with another nation. Our caption is not a warning, but a suggestion based on the condition of affairs in Europe. The Continent is a vast camp. Troops are massiag on the Bussian frontier. Arsenals and navy- yards arg alive with artisans. New forts have been built and old omes re- paired and strengthened. Vast sums of money have been voted and enor- mous loans negotiated. All Europe is “ waiting with bated breath” for the signal that shall “ let loose the dogs of war.” The pretext for this emergency is of no account. It is the fact that concerns us. If the signal is given, and it now jseems unavoidable, there will be a Titanic struggle‘of long dura- tion. the end of which no mortal can foreknow. This impending conflict has an importance Lo the people of the United States they will be wise to con- sider. A general European war draws from the producing classes a vast body of men who becomes consumers. This country knows by sad experience the cost and the waste of a protracted con- flict, but we cannot realize how very d fferent will be the state of things in Europe from what it was with us when our civil war existed. South and North drew their supplies from their own peo- ple. It is not sofabroad. Europe, Rus- sia excepted, obtains much of its food in times of peace from other countries. Let war begin, and a great ficet of grain carriers will be shut up at Odessa, and Americen farmers will be called upon to supply the shortage. Our annual shipments of meats of all kinds are en- ormous, but the demand will be double, perhaps treble, in case of a general Eu- ropean war. Armiesgmust be fed and clothed. The waste of war inaterial must be made good, hence arms and ammunition will be called for as they have been in the past. The taking of a million men from industrial labor will decrease the producing capacity ef iSuropean manufacturers. The nations that look to Germany and France for goods will naturally turn to America, and should Great Britain be drawn in- to the conflict, the markets of the world will be open to American enterprise as they. have not beee fer a generation. Should the war which seems immi- nent begin it will affect this country in many ways. The demand for bread- stuffs and meat will increase the cost of food at home, fur speculators will cer- tainly avail themselves of the foreign demand to force higher prices. Itawill be wise, therefore, for Southern farm- ers and planters to devote a much great- er area to breadstuffs and other food Ne localities where capital can be profite- bly employed. It would be well if an influential organization could be form- ed, representing every southern State, and supplied with abundant funds, that should establish effices in London, Liv- erpool and Manchester, in Berlina and other money centers of Germany, in Holland and elsewhere, all of which would be agencies fer furnishing such information as foreign capitalists would require. The men at the head of an organization of this character should have a national reputation for sagacity, business ability and probity. Such men as John H. Inman, and fifty mere that might be named, could, if they woald, form a syadicate for the purpéee, whose influence would be felt in every finan- cial city of Great Britain and the Con- tinent, and divert te the Ssuth streams of capital that would make the present developments seems small compared to that which would then be inaugurated. Again we urge, prepare for war! Meeting of Iredell County Agricultural Association. Frnm the Statesville Landmark. The agricultural association of Ire- dell county met at the court house Tuesday, and Was called to order by the president, Cel. Julian Allen, and opened with prayer. Fifty-two delegates were reported present, representing 508 mem- bers. Owing to the condition of the roads not more than half the strength of the association in the county was represented. Officers were elected for the emsuing year as follows : President—Col. Julian Allen ; Ist Vice President-—L. C. Perry ; 2d “ : —W. O. Benton ; Secretary—T. M. Mills ; Treasurer—A. L. Barringer. Executive Committee—J. P. Bradley, J. C. Joyner, A. T. Smith, E. E. Smith, R. A. Harwel!, E. M. Young, D. A. Per- ry, P. B. Kennedy, W. A. Suther, E. H. owell. The following committee was ap- pointed on the “ Farmers’ Allianee and Co-Operative Union :” R. A. Harwell, L.C. Perry, T. M. Mills, and H. M.

A Tribute to Mothers. It has been beautifully said of a mother that “she is the morning and evening atar of life. The light in her eye is ys the first to rise and gen- erally the last to set upon the chequer- ed life of man.” She wields a power more decisive by far than syllogism in argument or courts of last appeal in authority. Next to ommipotence hers is the strongest moral influence known upon earth. She has been culled “the Divinity of Infancy.” She can shower around her the most genial of all in- finences and frem the time when she first laps her little one in Elysium by clasping it to her bosom, “its first par- adise," to the moment when that child is independent of her aid, her smile, her word, her wish is an inspiring force. A sentence of encouragement or (quer from her is a joy for a day. mother's look, a mother's smile, or a mether's word may seem but a small and insignificant thing. But more mature refiection will bring it toa ver different conclusion. We might a the one who may be tempted to attach but little importance to the influence of the mother, it is a little thing to fashion an immortal spirit after a heavenly model? Is it a little thing to develop infant powers and bring to light all that seems hidden in the soul —to train the ear by sweet sounds and | thé eye by lovely colors? Is it a little thing to teach the use of language and form w!.at is emphatically cal!cd mother tongue? Is it a little thing to notice the first articulate utterances or rather create and call them forth? Is it a little thing to receive from God an immortal being in a state of nonage and helplessness, and stamp on its oung spirit the love of the noble, the eavenly, the pure? All this ‘power belongs to the mother,and all this in- fluence the mother may wield, if recog- nizing her dependence on God, the fountain of all holy influences, she takes his will to guide her and leans upon his gracious power to strengthen and sustain her. It is the godly mother—the mother whose heart 1s illuminated with heavenly light and uickened and sanctified by the Holy Spirit—that can offer the simple, ten- der, touching prayer which the young- est can comprehend, and can seize up-| on the happy moment for implanting truth. She, and she oily, can time all and rule-all by that sceptre of genuine, heartfelt love. A little bey when ask- ed what made home pleasant and beau- tiful, and why one house wes not as much hone as another, remarked point- ing to his mother, “Because she is here!” True, living, consistent piety is the mother's brightest ornament, her tru- est glory, her noblest support, and her richest treasure. Her life should be a charm, holy, beautiful walk from the hearthstone to the altar fire; from the bosom of her family to the throne of It has been the testimony of men in all ages that they owe chiefly to their mothers the best inspiration of their lives. “I had rather possess my mother's picture,” once wrote the poet Cewper, “thar the richest jewel in the British Crown.” The venerable John Quincy Adams once said, “It is due to titude and nature that I should ac- nowledge and avow that, such as J have been, whatever it was, and such as | am, whatever it is, and such as I hope to be in all futurity, mast be as- ented under Providence, to the pre- cepts and example of my mother.” Sweetly and truly has the poet sung: “The sounds that fall on mortal ear, As der ore ure at even, e That soothe t reast or start the tear, Are Mother, Home and Heavew!”’ A Good Man Gone. ping to Aldershot 609 saddles made t imac order for the British goverument.

He talked interestingly on the subject the other day in St. Louis: “I find that a general impr siioa revails throughout the country,” said e, “that they are phenomenal horse- men and miraculous shots. Neither of these opinions are correct, although all have some foundation in fact. First, asto their horsemanship—as far as sticking on and undertaking what can be dune in the saddle goes, they cer- tainly are second to no riders in the world. Fora Texas cowboy to pick up his hat ora silver dollar from the ereune when at full speel, to mount is horse at the gallop or to stop him in full career and turn him on a saddle blanket areevery-day feats. The best of the riders can stand on the saddle of a galloping horse, or pick u a coin lying on the ground on the left side of the horse with the nght band, a most difficult feat, and one and all can ride bucking horses. But here their horsemauship ends, and beyond this they are worse than the veriest tyro, because the cowboys have faults from which the most ordinary park rider of the East is free. 1 will ven- ture to say that if a thousand Texans start on a long march, where speed 13 necessary, side by side with a United States cavalry regiment, the latter will reach its destination long before the former, and have its stuck im service- able condition whWe the Texan horses will be fit only for the boneyard. Men understanding less about horses and less able to keep their mounts in good condition it would be hard to find. Accustomed to have a superabundance of horses, they never undertake either to train ar spare them, and would break down the best horse in America in & week. Although their horses are small a saddle weighing from thirty to forty penne is used, the most of this weight ing useless leather. When one bears in mind the old racing saying that the weight of a stable Uy will win or lose a race, the absurdity of this style of saddle is apparent. During the war the value of the Texans as cavalrymen was well proved. aoe were greatly relied upon and much dreaded, but when they came before the enemy after a murch of two cr three hundred miles not one horse in five was in serviceable condition, and the entire force was worse than useless. Then they thought that they knew everything about riding, and refused to receive instructions, it being impossible to make them into as good cavalrymen ax the rawest recruits became after & few months training. It was practi- cally impossible for a horse to throw them, but outside of this they were and are the most destructive and worst riders in the world. “As to their shooting,” continued Mr. Gosnold, “because every mun used to carry « revolver and was ready to use it, people supposed that they were fine shots. Que thing they did understand, and that was quick shooting, but as to any accuracy, not ore in a hnndred possessed it. Pistol combats in Texas were nearly always of the shoulder to shoulder kind, where speed was of far more importance than a m,#nda Texan could fire a great number of shots in a given time. But when it came'to fine marksmanship they were nowhere, and in an Eastern shooting gallery would not begin to be able to hold their own. As rifleshots they are even worse, and could not hold any position at all at Creedmoor or any regular rifle range. — St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The South's Opportunity.

I presume many besides wyself will appreciate it. Yours respectfully, W. Lewis. The name “Jaurcutian”’ comes from the Laurentain Mountains, a range of British North America, of great extent. The rocks of this range are sedimentary strata, which have become highly crys- talline and are the oldest known on the American continent. The Canadian geoloyists gave this Permation the name of the Laurentian system. For atime geologists divided lauren- tian into upper and lower, but modern science has effaced the line leaving only laurention. Kerr made the Greensboro and Salisbury granite range—which real- ly extends across the State—the axis of the then calied “lower laurention forma- tion. This territory was the western half of what is known as the ‘“‘yold belt;”’ the eastern portion being Huronian— {Talconic.] The ‘‘upper laurentian” covered, in the main, all the territory in the State west of the ‘lower laurentian”’ zone. The new edition of Kerr’s Geolo- gy of North Carolina will treat the whole area as laurentian. Kerr says: ‘‘These rocks [laurentian #ystem] ave found throughout the length ot the Appalachians, in Ozarks and quite widely in the Rocky Mountains and alse in other parts of the world. This is not only the oldest of the series of stratified rocks, but is also one of the most exten- sive, both in vertical, thickness and in horizontal area. Most of the metamor- phic rotks, of North Carolina probably belong to this horizon. The prevalent gpeciea are granite, gneiss, syenite and other hornblendic rocks, diorite and crys- talline limestone.”’ > <> aa A gentleman from below Heilig’s Mills lost a ten dellar bill in Salisbury, last week. The finder will be suitably re- warded if he will deliver it to Harvey eruhart, ee ee Sunday School Meeting. Thlcre was a Sunday School mass meeting held at the Methodist church here Sunday night, composed of Methodist, Presbyte- rian, Baptist and Lutherian. The princi- pal feature of the meeting was an address by Mr. Reynolds, of Iil., who is president of the International Sunday School Associ- aticn; from which eminates the Interna- tional Sunday School lessons, that are now almost universally used in the schools of all Protestant denominations in America, Can- ada, and to some extent in England. He gave some encouraging statistics relative to the great work the Sunday Schools are doing for Christianity. Le a LIST OF LETTERS.

The Uld Emperor of Germany is Dead. William the First, Emperor of Germany, and King of Prussia, passed away in the morning of March 9th, aged nearly 91 years. A great, grand, wise and good man and ruler of men has finished his career on earth and gone to his final rest. Governments and peoples throughout the civilized world mourn the departure of one who had dis- tinzuished himsclf in peace and in war. His own people mourn him as one who was faithful and tireless in his efforts to protect, build up and establish their country; and his success in this direction has becn almost phenominal. . The Crown Prince assumed the reins of government es Frederick the Third. He is afflicted with a fatal disease of the throat and is not expected to survive his father many weeks, Serious tears for the political future of the country are mingled with the grief of Europe on the death of the Em- peror, notwithstanding the Crown Prince is highly esteemed by his people, with whom he has intimately identified himsclf both in war and the peaccful walks of life. Ife commanded one of the armics in the late war with France,aud won distinction by his skill and courage. He is described as a noble specimen of a man physically, as well comprising in character all the moral elements needful in fitting bim for the high duties of his exalted station. * The issue is made, and we shall stand by the bill, just as it is,” said Representa- _tive Mills, quoting from our Washington correspondent of March 12ih, when speak- iag in reference to tlic tariff Dill, Contin- uing, he ssid ‘The revenue reformers In- vend te fight every amendment which is of- fered, no matter who offers it.

From these sources our school funds so far as they are levied by the General Assembly, are derived, and the funds are not put into the hands of the State Treasurer, but all are rctain- ed in the couaties where they are raised. In counties where the State taxes levied in the Revenue law and in the school law, and the county taxes levied by the commissioners, including school taxes; do not amount to more than 66% cents on $100 of property, and $2.00 on the polls, the commissioners are required to levy enough tax, in addition to the funds se- cured under the general State levies as above mentioned, to continue the schools four months per annum. In most counties, however, after providing for county expenses, the commissioners find no margin left for appHcation to schools. Prior to the Supreme Court decision in Barksdale vs. Commissioners of Sampson county, 93 N. C. Reports, the Commissiovers were required to have four months terms whether or tot they on polls. It will be noticed that the receipts for 1887 were $23,263.98 less than they wercin 1886, while the laws were just the same. The fall-off in receipts is to be attributed to the de- cision referred to and to the failure, I think, of an unusually large number of persons to pay their poll taxes. Some commissioners are now so managing county matters as to apply all the poll tax to schools, while others find that for ordinary purposes they do not need the full margin of 34) cents now left them by the General Assem- bly, and so levy something for schools as sec- tion 2590 of the school law requires them to do. The Connty Boards of Education press their claims upon the Boards of Commissioners and not unfrequently the Commissioners are brou’t to greater economy in their administration of county matters to the end that the schools may be brought up to the four months that the Con- stitution requiries as a minimum. /I cannot too much commend such consideration on the part of the County Commissioners, and can but cherish the hope that, to the end that our school system may be made more effective and more popular, all the commissioners will do every- thing in their power to increase the funds. Let them do this and go to the limitation.

And when we consider the start—the foothold—they have obtained in the country, we ask no pardon for reproaching the Commissioner of Agriculture with drowsi- ness on so important a subject. And the news- papers of the country generally may turn upon him with the ejaculation of ‘I told you so!” for they have been calling for war on tho pest for more than ten years.

It reduces the regular whiskey tax from 90 to 50 centsa gallon. ‘This tax last year amounted to $59,551,972.

In 1876 the General Assembly enacted that the irreducible fund should be retained, but that it should not be increased except by the items mentioned in Art. 9, Sec. 4 of the Constitution from which nothing was received except from the sales of public lands, and but little from that source. In 1881 the General Assembly directed that tis fund should be distributed to the covnties, and consequently in Auyust, 1881, a distribu~ tion of $114,883 25, was made, and in Novem- ber, 1883, auother of $74,418.75 was made.— These zmounts were used by the county school authorities during the years 1882, 1833, and 1884 and swelled the amounts applied curing those years to school purposes, as will appcar by the figures given above. a 7 The question is frequently asked why the counties now get no money from the State fund. The answer is that the legislation on our sta- tute books does- rot contemplate putting any money-into: the State Treasury for schools, ex- cept such as comes from tax on acts of idcor- poration by. the General Assembly and from. the sales of public lauds. Receipts from these jséurces have as yet amounted to very little.

It is discourazing to say the least of it for owners of town property to go to the expense of purchasing and planting shade trees, in order to improve it, and add to the appearance of the town, to have some one follow after the first dark night, and deliberately hack them to pieces with a knife. A favorite way is to bend the tree down and draw a knife across the body, about four feet from the ground. Detectives should be employed to hnnt down the guilty parties, and when found the branches of the trees that have been defaced should be worn put their naked backs. The persan or persons who would do a crime of this sort would for prdyocation no less slight, burn the roof from over your head. If country newspapers wereto publish the names of subscribers who take read and enjoy, and are gratified by, yet refuse to pay for their home papers, the reputa- tion of most communities for moral honesty, would depreciate ten percent” says the New York Sun. ‘An editor’s labor is seldom esteemed or compensated, A lawyer will give you five minutes’ ad- vice on a topicand charge you $5 for it. Aneditor will give you advice on a hund- red topics, and charge five cents a copy for his paper, and very often five cents given to an editor would save five dollars given to a lawyer.

A flying trip to Balisbury Tucsday evening by The Standard developed the steady up-grade of improvements. We met many friends of “ye olden times,” and taiked of incidentsand happenings of even as far bac be- ginning of the Mexican war. A minute’s street chat with Prof. Neave was much leajoyed Andrew Murphy and others talking of school boy days when but six years old. Many, very many, friends ‘complimented The Standard. We found all the printing offices shut, save the Herald, and there Mr. Rouche said the “editor was at home.” The “cvery man to the wheel” motto is rapidly making a city out of the ancient town.

According to General Ciingman, fluo- rite occurs at Brown Mountain, Burke county, also in Watauga, and with barite below Marshall, Madison county, and at King’s Mountain, Gaston county. In pseudomorphs after apatite rarely at Ray’s Mine, Yancy county. 89.° YTTROCERITE(?), A few minute deep violet blue spots were observed in association with pyro- chlorite, black tourmaline, orthoclase, quartz ete., at Ray’s Mica Mine, Hurri- cane Mountain, Yancy county, which are probable yttrocerite. VY. OXYGEN COMPOUNDS. I. OXIDES. 40. CUPRITE. P Cuprite or the red oxide of copper occurs in some of the copper mines near the surface. . It is rarely found in small cubical crystals and in octahedra upon native copper in Cabarrus county. It has been observed in Chatham, Davidson, Person, Caldwell, Lincoln, Alleghany and Ashe counties, and upon the gossan of the Waryhut Mine, Jackson county; in ee ee county, and several of the Guilford county copper mines, cu- prite in acicular and capillary crystals (so-called chalcoirichite) was formerly found in beautiful specimens. 41. MELACONITE. It is found occasionally as a black coating or a powder associated with cu- prite at the McGinn Mine, and with zine- blende, ete., sparingly at silver Hill; also at Cullowhee Mine, Jackson county. 42. CORUNDUM. One of the most interesting minerals which occurs in the State of North Caro- lina in a great many varieties is corun- dum. It was first noticed when, in the spring of 1847, a large mass of dark blu-, cleavable variety was found three miles below Marshall, in Madison county. It has since been found two and a half miles north of Marshall, at Haynie’s, associated with margarite and rutile. It was afterwards found by Hunter, in small quantity, reddish and bluish masses, sometimes crystalilized at Crowder’s Mountain and afterwards, at Clubb’s Mountain, and King’s Mountain, Gaston county. About ten years ago large beds of corundum were discovered near Franklin, in Macon county, at Culsagee or Corundum Hill. Here it lies of a thickness from ten to fourteen feet, im- bedded in prochlorite between chrysolite and hornblendic gneiss. The corundum itself presents many varieties. Beautiful hexagonal pyramids, with the basal and rhombohedral planes, and of many shades of color, from almost colorless to yellow and deep red, rarely to green, have been found. Some of the crystals are very large; one for instance, measur- ed five feet, two inches in length. Most- ly it occurs massive, often in large, cleavage masses, often of variable colors —some are red and semi-transparant, and in small fragments even transparent, and form a fair ruby; other specimens of reddish or grey corundum have dissemi- nated through the mass the most bcauti- fully colored azure-blue sapphire. <A very peculiar varicty is that consisting of white and blue bands. At this locality corundum is associated with prochlorite black and greenish, black spinel, tour- maline, small quantities of rutile, &c., and where it occurs in the mica schist, with damourite and margarite. At Hogback Mine, in Jackson county, corundum, associated with damourite, margarite and tourmaline, is imbedded in chlorite. As the hanging wall, feldspar, with crysta's of corundum, is met with. A small quantity, not ex- ceeding a few ounces, of corundum has been found near the chrysolite outcrop at ‘Webster, Jackson county, and also at Scott’s creek. At Cullakenee Mine, in Clay county a greyish white corundum is found asscciated with margarite, zoisite, actinolite, &c., and a red variety sometimes of a deep ruby color, associa- ted with zcisite, smaragdite, cyanite and a feldspar. It is found in the gravel, two miles west of Statesville, in Iredell county, associated: with cyanite, but rarely im- bedded init. Highly interesting crystals and crystalline masses of greyish-white corundum, more or less altcred_ into damourite and tourmaline, have lately been found by Mr. J. A. D. Stevenson, at Belt’s Bridge, and beautiful hectagonal prisms of a pale-brownish corundum, with a partial alternation into soda_mar- garite,at Hendricks’ farm, near Belts’ Bridge, Iredell county. It is also found in Cherokee, Clay, Haywood, Madison, Mitchell, Wilkes, Buncombe, Burke, Stokes, McDowell, Rutherford, Gulford and other counties. 43. HEMATITE. Red oxide of iron or hematite is one of the most important iron ores of North Carolina. ‘The compact ore, sometimes more or less mixed with the specular variety, forms lurge beds in Chatham, Moore, Orange, Macon, Swain, Buncombe and many other counties. Foliated and micaceous hematite occurs in Chatham, elsewhere. A very fine variety of slaty hematite, with crystals of magnetite, is found at Cooke's Gap, Watauga county, and both here and in Caldwell county, and in Surry county, martite occurs. Other localities are: Rockingham, Cabar- rus, Catawba, Lincoln, Gaston, Mecklen- burg counties, etc. The ochreous vari- ety has been ‘observed in Buncombe, Cherokee, and in a eat many gold mines. Hexagonal scales of hematite, in erystals of quartz, occurs in Iredell county. The description of this group will be _continucdin next week's paper, T. K. BRUNER EDITOR, RALRIGH, N.

They also grow Irish potatoes beeause they can grow them more successfully than the sweet pota- toes. The sweet potato, as known in the South, is a n thot is denied them. Turnips and Irish potatoes are not to be compared with sweet pota- toes in respect of ease and cheapness of production, nutntiveness and gener- al adaptation as a table and stock food. Nothing is gained by very early bed- ding or planting. The potato is strictly a tropical plant, and must have warm weather from first to last. Resolve to plant a larger field than usual, and bed accordingly. The best tato growers, at the final planting of the draws, give a distance of about four feet by twenty inches. This would requiie 5,442 plants to set one acre; and to produce this number of plants six to eight bushels of seed potatoes should be bed- ded. Small potatoes are to be preferr- ed for the plant bed, aoe) those that were made from the cut vines last year. A potato is not a true seed but only an enlarged, under-ground stem; it is not even a root, as it does not take nourishment from the soil directly, but through the stem attach- ment. A small potato will make near- ly as many draws as a large one, and many more of them may be placed in a bed. For bedding select a sunny exposure.

Yessir, gone!” “Well, well try and find it for ou. The wrathy man had searcely dc- parted when a second stranger entered and demanded to know: . “Have we police or have we not?” ‘We have,” replied the sergant. “Well, here’s an overcoat I found in my yard this moraing, where some burglar had probably left it. Just smell the chloroform will you!” A messenger was sent to overtake the first man yand he returned and identified the’coat, which had blown over the fence. “Yes, sir, it’s mine,” said he, as he started off, ‘and I hope the police will be woore v gilant in future.” “And it wasin my yard, sir” said aumpber ty 0, as he went out, “and if any nore burglars come around you police will hear from me.”’—Detroit F'ree Press. We Tell You Plainly that Simmon’s Liver Regulator will rid you of Dyspepsia, Headache, Constipation and Billiousness. It will break up chills and fever and prevent their return, and is a complete antidote for all malarial poison— yet entirely free from quinine or calomel.

The land should be drained, and well manured, with hog, hen, cow or horse manure, and sowed the first week in Apnil, with good seed, in rows fourteen inches diene four pounds to an acre. A liberal top-dressing of wood-ashes is good. As soon as seeds are up apply wheel hoe and “‘scufflers;” pull up every weed. About 200 pounds of super- pieephates to the acre will now help much.

So read the headli es of many a news- paper column, and we peruse with palpita- ting interest the details of the catastrophy, and are deeply impressed by the sacrifice of human lives iavolved. Yet thousands of men and women are falling victims every year to that terrible disease, consumption (scrofala of the lungs), and they and their friends are satisfied to believe the malady incurable. Now there could be no greater mistake. No earthly power, of course, can restore a lung that is entirely wasted, but Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Diecovery will rapidly and surely arrest the ravages of consumption, if taken intime. Do not therefore, despair, until you have tried this wonderful remedy. [> ae for eee @3:8:4 ‘loth & Cold Bi age, with Stoo! /AILE 3:6m. AUCTION SALE, Of Real Estate.

No slight sensation was occasioned inthe household of Mr. Joseph Tidy waite. the sen- for partner in Tidywaite, Chink & Bullen’s Bank. Pall Mall, when that gen'leman an- nounced his intention of enrolling himself &s a special constable. “Surely. Joseph, there are plenty of younger men available!” said Mrs. Tidy- waite, ‘Younger men! Pshaw! exclaimed the valiant banker, drawing himself up, like a hero of romance. to his full height, which was just 5 ft. 6% in.. “We must show the youngsters that a man need not be past serving his country at fifty-nine,” “But consider the weather, Joseph, and your rheumatism,” continued his wife. “Think of your asthma, papa, dear, and these dreadful fogs,” added Miss Tidy- waite. “Nonsense, nonsense!” replied Mr. Tidy- waite, a litile impatiently; for, to tell the truth, he had thought a gond deal about all these circumatances already. “It isa mat- ter of du‘y, Eliza. Besides, I have prom- ised Lord Bayswater that I will serve. He called at the bank this morning to obtain recruits, and IT wish te set the clerke an example.” Mr. Tidywaite expected that the allusion to Lord Bayswater would have effect upon his wife, and he was not disapp@nted Mise Tidvyaite, however, a yuuuy sady of much sense, as well as independeuce, was not sc casi!y silenced. “I can’t see why they want to call out special constables at all,” she observed. “There are not to be anv more attemp's to hold meetings in Trafalgar Fquare; and, if the people had not been stopped from going there, there would Lavc teez zone of this disturbance.” “And where d¥. t:n iesarn tuat, pray’? inquired the banker Sharpiy, and casting a suspicious glance ut his daughter. Winfred blushed slightly, and turned away. “I Lave iieard people say it,” she replied. ‘But, papa, dear, if there be any danger, as you sry, surely the police and the military are sr ficient without thé help of old gent—I mean persons in your posi- tion!” “My dear Winifred,” replied her father, “you must excuse my saying that you do not understand what you are talking about. The magnificent spectacle of a mass cf law-abiding citizens marshalled in sup- rort of the civil and military forces will of itself strike terror into the mob, and nip the spirit of anarchy in the bud.” Winifred was a devoted daughter, but she had a sense of humor, and the magniti- cent spectacle of her father striking terror into the mob was more than she could dis- cuss with gravity. The subject conse quently dropped. Later on, however, when Mr. and Mrs. Tidywaite found themselves alone, Joseph suddenly said to his wife: “Has Ted O’Brien been here again?’ “Not to my knowledge,” replied the lady. “Why do you ask?” “Because I am convinced that no one but O’Brien could have put that Radical clap- trap about the spscial constables and the people into Winifred’s head.” “I think that she met him last night at Mrs. Somerset's, Joseph.” “Then understand that I distinctly forbid her to go to Mrs. Somerset's again,” said | the banker, angrily, “or anywhere else where she is likely to meet that young jack- Qnapes. He has quite turned the girl’s bead. We shall have her defying her own father next.” Now, Mr. Edward O'Brien was a young relative of Mrs. Tidvwaite, who had come Although he had distinguishea himself at the hospi'als, he wus still on the thresh- old of his profession, and, as his private means Were small, he was hardly an eligi- ble soh-in-law for the scnior partner ia Tidywaite, Chink & Bullen. Moreover, he was an earnest Nationalist and a thorough- going Radical, and in those characters doubly vbnoxious to Mr. Tidywaite. When, therefore, the banker was apprisei that an atiachment bed grown up between his daughice Wiecfwed and the young doc- tor, be premrptty ordere. the latter out of the house s4¢ e4q eae Cunt whe eubjout shuuid never he muntioned again gh the mud ana rerspiring and breathless, to.

The mob, to do justice, did not Sppear overawed by Svectacie; on the contrary, they themselves throughout the with facetious comments went home with the rudiments of a bad cold, an unpleasant stiffness in the legs, and an aggravated sense of against the lower orders generally ; fortunately, with nothing worse. ee or two later, » bis fortitude and sense of duty were put test, He received @ notice that, in view of the threatening demonstration being organ at the other side of London, the constables on duty in his district would be withdrawn in the evening, and special con- stables, in pairs, would replace them on their beats. The beat ass to Mr, Tidywaite included Portland Square, Duchess Place and several adjoining streets in the West End. The day duly arrived, and a dreadful éay it was. Heavy snow in the morning wag succeeded by a genera! drizzle as the day woreon. The cold which Mr. Tidywaite had caught in Cavendish Square had now assumed portentous dimensions and settled on his chest. His rheumatism was also troublesome. At the last moment Mrs. Tidy waite was anxious for & medical cer. tificate, but, unluckily, did not think of it till too late, and she was about to help her husband get ready for his work when they were informed that the police superintend- ent desired to see Mr. Tidy waite. . “I just called, sir,” said the officer, “to Warn you to keep a sharp lookout on No. 9 Portland Square. It is the Duke of Dub- lin’s house. He is the President of the Irish Landlords’ Ancient Rights Mainten- ance League, you know, sir.’? “Ab, certainly. You are oot anticipating any attack on the Duke's house, I hope?" inquired Mr. Tidywaite, rather anxiously. “No; but we have standing instructions to look after the residences of gentlemen in the Duke’s position, and we know the dyna miters are very active azain just now.” “Dear me, how dreacfull And can you tell me who will be wi'h me on my beat?’ “The Hon. Guy Wyldtire, sir—Lord Little- brain’s youngest son. You will find hima very pleasant young gentleman, | think Good night, sir. Sorry you have such a nasty cvening.”” This interview did not raise Mr. Tidy- Waite’s spirits. On the contrary, it filled him with uneasiness, Itwaa his rule never to keep firearms in the house, but he wished now that he had had a pistol that he could putin his pocket to supplement the protec- tion of his truncheon. As it was, he could mustcr no more deadly weapon than a pair of handcuffs, wnich he had purchased short- ly after being sworn in, as likely to be of service in the event of his having to effect an arrest. These he now stowed uway in one of his deepest pockets, while Mrs, Tidy waite assisted him in his other prepara, tions, wrapping a good length of stout flan- nel around his kvee—the rheumatic one— and stuffing his pockets with sSausage-rolls, sandwiches, a flask or two of comforiing cordials, and a plentiful stock of cough lozenges. Thus provisioned, and equipped in his largest overcoat and a new pair of goloshes, the banker marched forth. “Stop, Joseph! stop!’ cried his wife, as the door was closing on him. “You are going without your respirator.” “I didn’t forget it, my dear,” said the old gentleman, rather nervously. “But I thought that it would look—a—that is, that 1 should hardly require——" “Look or no look, Joseph,” replied his wife, who was accustomed to be obeyed in such matters, “you put on that rospirator before you go outside the door.” Poor Joseph submitted with the best grace he could. The respirator was duly adjusted, and the good man made the best of his way to the spot where he was to re- lieve the regular constable, and where he found not only Hon. Guy Wyldfire, but also 8 select quorum of street boys and loafers who had come to see the fun. “QO, my eye! 'KEre’s the City Corporation been and swore hisself in as a spesbul !’’ ejaculated one of the bystanders at the sight of Mr. Tidywaite’s portly forin. “Hallo, copper; when did you see your toes last?’ inquired another. “I say, Bill,” said a third. “what's the bloke been and gagged hisself for} “To save his false teeth from bein’ knocked down his throat, most likely,” re- plied BilL “Please, sir, be you the speshul or the hextra, or the hextra speshult”’ cried a cheeky Arab. - Amid an encouraging churus in this key the two constables started on their rounds. They walked slowly over the extent of their beat, and then came to a standstill in Portland Square. Snow had now set in again vigorously, aud @ keen northeaster drove the flakes in the faces of the two specials, and caused the elder to shiver be- neath his wraps. “Do you think,’ said the banker, pree- ently, “that it would appear—a—unprofes- sional if 1 were to putup an umbrella?"’ “Contrary to all the regulations,” rep:ied Mr. Wyldiire, who kept up his spirits very creditab!y undertbecircumstances. ‘Don’t you let the Inspector catch you at it! I think, though, that I can put you up toa better dodge than that.” “Pray, what is it?” inquired Mr. Tidy- waite, much interested. *“P 73, the pecler on the beat, tipped mea wink as he was going away, and whispered that we should tind No. 24 the right sort of shop. I can’t say what he meant, but I caught a glimpse of a larky-look- ing slavey at No. 24 Duchess Place, as we came by. J_ mean to have another look. If you'll stop here a minute I will re- turn anon and report progress.’’ And, without further explanation, the scion of the aristocracy departed. At the end of about a quarter of an hour he returned, vis- ibly satisfied with the result of his mission. “It’s all right,” he said. “P73 isa brick. There’s acomfortable kitchen entirely at our disposal at No. 24. The silavies are full of fun. The family are out, and I’ve sent for a bottle of whisky. Come on!” The banker gazed at his comrade in blank ment. aerYou tacalt mean to say,” he gasped, “that you expact me to——” “Why not? What's the use of playing at peeler if you don’t do the thing properly?’’ “But what about the bea‘, and the Duke’s house here?”’ *-O, they’!! look after themselves for half an hour. For the matter of that, it wouldn't be much loss to society if the Fenians were to blow old Dublin into smithereens. You had better come. The cvok’s a topper, I can tell you—just your sort.” Had it m any onc else than an Eari’s son who spoke, Mr. Tidywaite would un- doubtedly have met this ribald speech with the rebuke it merited.

The men were now talking together, and the Inspector's in- structions—the allusion to the Duke of Dublin and the dynamiters—reocurred pain- fully to Mr. Tidywaite’s mind, as he ght fragments of the Conversation ina rich Milesian brogue. In another minute or so the two last. Comers again departed in Opposite direc- tions, and Mr. Tidy waite’s heart sank into his boots as he saw the tall Man advance Stealthily towards No. 7. He was now close alongside the special and looking into the area, beyond doubt with some sinister pur- pose. The inclination to fly was almost irresis ible in Mr. Tidy waite’s breast, but he summoned up all his sense of public duty, and with a Supreme effort stepped out and accosted the mysterious stranger. “Now, sir,” he said, “what is your busi- ness here!” “What has that todo with yout” returned the man. vie “I am a representative of the law, and it is my duty to ask what you are doing.” “And suppose I don't teil you?” “Then I must ask you to come along with me.”’ “And suppose 1 say I sha’n’t come?” said the man with a con’ emptuous laugh. “Then I shall arrest you in the Queen’s name,” replicd the valiant constable. ‘And producing his handcuffs he made a vicious grab at the strang.-r. Perhaps thetall man was taken abick at this unexpected display of resolute government. At any rate, he Stood quite s'ill, muchto Mr. Tidy waite’s relief, and allowed the bracelets to be slipped on to his wrists. Then he began to move off. _ : “Btop!” cried the special; the other way.” *T ain’t!" said the tall man. ‘You can if you like.”’ é Unfortunately, however, Mr. Tidywailte had taken the precaution of attaching the handcuffs tightly round pisown waist. The prisoner showed no disposition to stop, and as his advan'age in sirength more than counterbalanced the Special’s superiority in weight, and as, moreover, the pavement was too slippery to afford any foo:hold for resistance, Mr. Tidy waite felt himself re- luctantly compelled to follow. “Help, help!” he cried, frantically, as he found himself being hurried into a trot. The two confederates came running up at the sound of bis voice. “Btuff his respirator in‘o his mouth, Mike,’’ said the tall man, “and tie his muff- ler over it, or he’ll rouse the whole neigh- borhood.’’ This was quickly done, in spite of Mr. Tidy waite’s re~istance, and the unfortunate Special found himself again dragged off be- hind his prisoner, while each one of the accomplices held one of bis arms. There was just one hope, he thought, of escape. He wus beicyg marched towards Baker street, where he knew that other Special constables were on duty. The idea, however, scemed to strike the conspirators &@8 soon as himself, for, at a word from the tall man, one of the others presently took the key of the handeuffa from Mr. Tidy- waite’s pocket, and in another moment the special himself was hand: ued, while the tall man took possession of the truncheon and transferred the constable’s armiet to his own arm. No sooner was this done than thev met a pair of specials on their beat. “{t’s all right,” said the tall man, in Soswer to a question from one of the con- Stables. “He was drunk and disorderly, and assaulte! this gentleman here. But we've got him safe enough now.” Poor Mr. Tidywaite was jnst attempting to ex- plain ma'ters when he was hurriedly car- ried on by his captors, and not allowed to again stop until the pariy arrived at a dingy-looking house in the neighborhood of High street, Marylebone. where the pris- oner was conducted to a large rocm, scan: tily furnished, in the upper part of the house. A very few minutes’ observation satis. fied the terrified banker that he was in a nest of conspirators of a dark and malig- nant character. To begin with, his three companions, as they entered the house, one and ali assumed black masks. They ex- changed remarks, too, in a Janguage which Mr. Tidy waite had never heard before, and addressed one another by numbers instead ofnames. The prisoner was bidden to sit down at one énd of the room. His pockets were turned out and his stock of provisions were distributed amonz the gang, who dis- posed of them, excepting the cough loz- enges, with evident relish. Then, on his solemnly swearing neither to move nor speak, the handcuffs were removed, and an individual known apparently as ‘‘Number Siven” took up his post beside him, pistol in hand. In the course of half an hour two or three desperadoes, all masked and armed, dropped in and took their seats at a table at the other endof the room. When half a dozen were thus assembled “Num- ber Siven,” at a word from the tail man, led the prisober into a small room adjoin- ing. “The Council are gcing to consider your case,’’ said Number Siven.. “Ye’ll know your sinthence in the course of half an hour. Inthe meantimc keep quiet, or ye’re a did man.”’ *One moment,” whispered the banker, as his jailer was about to leave the roow. “You can not object to tell me where you ere and where I am.”’ . “Sure ye can guess?” “I may be wrong; ‘et me know the worst.”’ “Ye’re just in the hands of the Clan-na- Gael, und the gintlemen to whom ye’ve been inthrojui are the Executive Cour- cil of the London them!’ And with that Number Siven has- tily retired. Heavens what a situation! The banker's head reeled, and he wiped the perspiration Their that the far out of “we are going from his brow. Presently he looked around ‘ the room but it containei no window, nor hope of escape or succor. For half an ae or more he remained there, list ning to the voices in the next room, at the end of which time he was retuced to the last | stage of mental and bol:ly prostration. Then Nuwher Siven returoed, revulver in ivision—more power to | | ! h “The Council have, . mercifully attached a proviso to the Sinthence,” pur- sued the Chairman. ‘Your life will be spared on condition of your taking the cath of Adelity to the Oirish Republic. Yew have five minutes to make your Biven, give the Prisoner a chair?” At the expiration of five minutes, Mr. Tidywaite made the choice that might have been expected. and took the cath of Adelity can Irish Republic, in the following 8: “E Spee Acleeon hereby nounce egiance to the Queen of Britain, her heirs and Succesaors, © myself a true and loyal subject of the public. to the Executive Government of for the time being I swear henceforward te yea- der with body and soul unconditional for good Or evil, for life or death. So help me This oath having been adm Mr. Tidywaite sigued the document ia bleed from one of his own veins, which Number Biven dexterously opened for the purpose with a lancet. The ceremony over, he drank ‘God Savo Ireland” in some Sct whisky and water, and was then blind- folded, led out of house, and restored to freedom in the shape of a hansom cab It was nearly a fortnight before the doc. tor allowed Mr. Tidy waite to leave his bed, but as soon as he was able to get about again the old gentleman sent for Edward O’Brien. On the young man’s arri he at Once narrated the story of his ez- perience. “I sent for you, Edward,” be said, af the conclusion of the recital, “in the hope thet you might have influence with some of your Irish friends which would hetp me cut of my horrible position.

How can 1. as an honest citizen, evade my éuty ' todisciose the whole business to the Gev- ernment?’ “Good God!’ exclaimed O’Brien. “How can you talk of such a tmng? Do you know what it means! Remember James Carey!” “I know, I know,” replied the wretched banker. I am aware of my peril, and the knowledge is driving me mad. Can't you help me, Edward?” “If things had been otherwise,” said O’Brien, presently--“I mean if there had been any tie between you and me on the strength of which I might have made a personal appeal to the Executive, I tell you frankly there 1s no man in Londoa whe hae a better right to ask a favor of the Ciga- na-Gael than] have. But as it is, om whaa ground can I appeal to them?” “My dear Edward,” replied the basker, “I have never desired more than to be cen- vinced that you and Winifred were sincere- ly attached to one anothor. If my consent. to the engagemen‘—cunditionally, of course, on your rendering me this service—wili facilitate your negotiations with the Cous- cil, pray consider you have it.” This assurance did facilitate matters very much. Two or three days later O’Brien reported that, after a Gificuls negotiation with the leaders of the Ciga- na-Gael, be had persuaded the Council, ia recognition of his own services te the cause, to resciud Mr. Tidywaite’s oath ef allegiance, on his swearing perpetual secrecy as to bis own rebations with the Clan. A few days later the banker wes conducted again, this time by O’Briea, to the headquarters of the London Division. Here certain formalities were gore through, the oath of allegiance wae re- scinded, and the special conatable found bimseif once more a faithful subject ef the Qucen. Early in the honeymoon O’Brien told his wife how her father's consent te their Marriage bad been obtained. “But I don’t understand it now,” said Wiuifred, when she had heard the story of her father’s singular advesture. “Whe were the other conspiratorst And whe planned it allt” “The conspirators, my dear, were «@ par'y of p-omising medicals from os Mary's reinforced by one or two of cer compatriots from Guy’s.

The county with its, clear, never- failing springs of cool water, is admir- ably adapted to dairying purposes; but we only know of two of our farmers who have gone into this branch of the business and they are both making money. Our farmers have only lately (and only a few of them) turned their attention to stock raising and find it is paying them well. Other Crops. Situated as our county is, our people raise a great diversity of crops. Cotton and tobacco both grow finely. About 3,500 bales of cotton and 500,000 pounds of tobacco 1s raised yearly within our borders. Small fruits of all kinds do well and command high prices when shipped, being among the earliest in the mar- ket. Vegetables grow with very little trouble and the season being so long several crops can be grown on the same ground each year. Markets. Salisbury, the county seat, furnishes a very good market for farm products. It is an enterprising and growing town of over 4,000 inhabitants, and has among other industries three large plug tobacco factories which will be increased to five before the year is out; two sash, door and blind factories; a brick yard with acapacity of,10,000,000 brick a year; two foundries and a roller mill. Two large cotton factories will be in full operation before the first of January. ‘ a= ew? et Religious and Educational Facilities. ; Churches of all denominations are found all over tre county, and every township has its public schools for both white and black. These schools are supported by taxation under the “By. the State Constitution the schools for white and black are forever separate without dis- crimination in favor, or to the preju- dice of either race.” Each school is school population. Besides the public schools there are several good private schools in the county. Climate.

The stock Every township and neighborhood in the county is well supplied with flour, grist and saw mills, and lumber can be bonght at the mills “for from $7.50 to $10.00 per thousand. Natural springs are very abundant all over the county and good wel! water can be obtained at depths rang- ing from 20 to 40 feet. The health of the county is excep- tionally good. Statistics show that there is as small a per cent. of deaths in Rowan as in any other county in the State. Our people are a law-abiding, peace- able people, and any person coming to settle among them will find a hearty welcome. Religious and political free- vom is exercised by our people, and those coming among usare expected to exercise a like freedom. There is ab- solute safety to the property and per- gon of believers in all creeds and of ail shades of politics, except, perhaps. mormanism. We have strong confidence in the rapid development of our county and are satisfied that no county in the State offers better inducements to the settler. er Washington Letter. (From our regular Correspondent.) Wasuincron, March 19, ’s8. The President passed his fifty-first birthday yesterday, in a quiet way. Ile is @ picture ol perfect health in spite of the cares and respon- sibilities which he has borne for the past three years. Instead of looking older he really looks younger than he did when he first entered the White House as Chief Magistrate. His young wife gets the credit for much of his health and good looks, of course, but Mr. Cleveland is blessed with an exceptionally good constitution which-he has preserved and kept in good con- dition by not worrying about worries. During business honrs he gives concentrated attention to the matter before him, but he never carries a thought of it outside of his office. Mr. Cleveland's popularity with the masses is largely due to the unpretentious way in which he lives and transacts business. He is what is known as a plain old-fashioned man, If slang may ever be permissable, onc might be excused for calling the speeches which have been made by the republicans in the Scnate in favor of a high protective tariff, during the past week, ‘‘chestnuts,” for there was not a single new idea or argument in any of them. They are likely to be kept up however, until every republican Senator has put himself on record as opposed to revenue reform. The House Pension Committee have the De- pendent Pension bill under consideration. It has been discussed several times, but no action has been decided upon. ' On friday Mr. Mills, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, asked for the unanimotts consent pf the House, to the sittings of his com- mittce during the sessions of the Ifouse. Had his request been granted it would have greatly facilitated the business of that committee ant enabled it to repo}t the tariff bill that much svoner. e It was probably for thgt very reason that Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, a republican member of that committee objected.. ,. The republicans are resorting to every known method of delaying the report of this Bill to the House, but the majority of the committee have decided to report it this weck whether the republican members of the committee like it or not. To enable them to do this they will hold night sessions. The first was held on Saturday last, and the internal revenue portion of the Billwas on that occasion adopted without a- mendment. There will be many schisms among the republican members of the commitiee: be- fore all the provisions of the measure are dis- posed of, however. Mr. Springer’s bill to enable the territories of Dakota, Montana, Washington, and New Mexico to adopt constitutions preparatory for admittance into the Union as States, has been favcrably reported, but owing to republican this session of Congress. will probably introduce a bill to that effect. to the national republican convention. therefore may win. votes in the South for either of them. on the rise. . __ eae Z is visiting her parents in this pla-e. $ hostility stands little chance becoming a law at Senator Colquitt, of Georgia. has introduced a bill referring the question of prohibition in the District of Columbia to a direct vote of the people of the District.

The school at Franklin Academy is stlll in progress, with fine prospects in the future. Four of the sons of the late Thos. D. Fraley left last Saturday, en route to Hillsboro, Illinois. We think our farmers will planta little larger area in tobacco than last year, but they are still afraid to risk the p-ices. The public “schools have about all come to a close, and it is well enough, as the farmers now need thcir boys at home on the farm. There has been Jess ice put up in Franklin than at any time for many years. A. 1. Hall Esq. got his house two thirds full, and that is ail we have heard of, Mr. Charies Fleming. formerly of Scotch Irish is now a citizen of Frankiin, and is engaged in farming on the W. M. Kincaid lands. We hope he may be successful. We regretted to leben that Mrs. Fila, wife of Mr. John M. Fraley, of Culpeper, Va. was quite unwell; but is improving now. Mrs. B.C.

These usually met one night ia each week, when not only the pupils of the school, but any and all out- siders were allowed to participate. We think these spelling bees probably do more harm than good, because most ot those thatfattend from a distance do jso, only forthe fun and plays that are engaged in and but fer which they would not at- eidata!l. Besides the exposu e*. ni; t air, returning home about midnight is injurious to health. You mention in your last issue that some persons have been cutting and in- juring shade trees in Salisbury. We have inthe country, a certain set of busy-bedies who consider, it a religious duty, to pass along the public roads and cut and deface every poster they can find, and although these posters have no reference to them or their business what- ever, they cut and deface them, all the same, out of pure, Unadulterated AKuased- ness. But sometimes they get caught up with, and come to grief, Notwithstanding we have had some evere frosts, there are peacl e3 enogh to make wore than a full crop. Observent fruit growers will have noticedthat there are two kinds of blooms among the peach, Ouc has long petals, whilst the other variety has nothing but the ealyx or small cup with seareely any petals at all. In nearly every instance the latter kinds are the first to succumb to the frost, and when there is only a partial crop, they are sure to be amongst those of the large petalled varieties. This being the case, it is advisable that all others should be discarded caly in yery shelter- ed localities. Some days ago,a quiet law-abiding man, was returning on horse back from Salisbury to his home. when a certain party, under tue influence of whiskey went out and made an assault upon him and followed him up and abused him. Two days afterward, Sheriff Roseman cintered up the road. After noon a frightened streak of humanity was seen going rapidly towards Salisbury, in obe- dience to a Peace Warrant which had been issued by Judge Heilig. Sequal,— the cise cams on, bail to keep the Peace was very properly required, aud bail rather dificult to procure, by dint of hard begging, fair promises and through the mercy of complainant the party wines by, borrowing six dol- ars to pay the. cost of Judge .Heiliz and the Sheriff. Somach for thatlittl: frolic. We are assured by the complainnt, how- ever that next time be will not get off go light. anl Menuning. There wasa very entertaining exhibi- tion at the cluse of Miss Binah Lingle’s scbool on the night of the 16th which was well attended. The scholars acquited themselves nicely. Communion metting at Salem Church will be held next Sunday the 25th instead of the second =unday a3 before report- ed. The farmers are busy sowing oats and preparing their land fur another crop. Mr. Dan Sifford has the finest wheat between Manning and Salibury. There was a quarterly meeting at Ebennezar church, held by the Rev. Mr. Franklin. <A large crowd from Franklin attended.

We shall’ not go into this matter again, but only say that we have no occasion to believe that we were mistaken in any particular in our first statement in regard. to the property and purchase. The report of Prof. G. B. Hanna, of the U. S. Assay office, Charlotte, is carefully veiled in the back ground of present transactions, in fact it has never’ been given to the public, and perhaps never will, but that is a matter of ‘‘judgment” for the Com- pany. SAM CHRISTIAN. Mr. Hambly, Superintendent .of' the Sam Christian Hydraulic Mines in Mont- gomery county reports work at the mine us getting along nicely, that two-thirds of the ditch (oyer two miles long) for pipes is completed, that the saw mill is running right along, and that everything ‘is ready for the pipes and heavy machin-] ery which will be here very soon. . He expects to have thé pumps in position and the pipe line completed to a point where he can begin hydraulicing in Gaiu’s Gulch and on Moore’g spring branch by the first of September. Continyation of the list of North Caro- lina minerals, and their localities: V. OXYGEN COMPOUNDS. (Oxides Continued). 44. MENACCANITE, The iron ores from the following local- ities appear to belong under this head: Macon, Madison, Yancey, Mitchell, Ire- dell, Mecklenburg, Gaston, Caldwell and Wake. Menaccanite in quartz occurs in Guilford, Iserite is frequent in the gold sands of Rutherford, Burkeand Mc- Dowell counties. 45, The only spinel which has been found in North Carolina, is that which results from altesation of corundum. Its color is black but by an an incipient altera- tion on the surface gencrally of a pecu- liar greenish grey color and satin-like iustre, Some vurieties are blackish green; it is rarely found in Clay, but fre- quently met with in Madison county, where it is mostly of a Very dark green color, SPINEL, 46. Gahnite, or Automolite is mentioned as occurring in Cleyeland county; also in Mitchell county. 47. This is the most abundant and most valuable iron ore in North Carolina. It occurs in small octahedral crytals in the granites and gneisses and (especially) the syenites, very commonly, in many coun- ties, and in the slates in Surry county, also in Alleghany, Watauga, Mecklen- burg, and in Guilford. It occurs in its vranular varicty in Chatham, and mixed with menaccanite and occasionally with corundum, in the gneissic rocks of David- son, Guilford, Forsyth and Rockingham counties, and also in Randolph and Montgomery counties. A band of gran- ular magnetite passes from near Danbury in Stokes county, and slso from Surry county, through Yadkin, Forsyth, Davie, Lincola and Gaston counties, It con- tains some of the most valu:.ble ore beds. It is also found in large beds in Catawba, Iredell, Orange, Mecklenburg and Cabar- rns counties. Some very valuable ore beds of crystalline magnetite occur in Swain, Madison, Macon, Haywood, Burke, Alexander, Wilkes, Orange, Mitchell and other counties, the most extensive probably at Cranberry. A granular ore, similar to the ores of Surry county, has been worked in Ashe county. There are many other localities in which magnetite occurs, but they are of less importance than those enumerated. 48. CHROMITE. Occurs in the chrysolite beds, which form lenticular masses in the hornblende slates, &c., in minute octahedral crystals and granular masses in Macon, Jackson, Yancey, Clay, Madison, Mitchell, Wa- tauga, Burke, and in Ashe county. A small admixture of chromite is found in the titaniferous magnetite belt of Guil- ford, Rockingham and other counties, C ryst: als of chromite are frequently met with in the gold saads of Burke Mc- Dowell, Rutherford, &c. 49. URANINITEy Was found by Prof. Kerr, in Mitchell county, in 1877, in small] nodules of gum mite and uranotil; forming the nucleus GAHNITE, MAGNETITE. sulting from its decomposition. 50. RUTILE. In beautiful crystals in Gaston county; also granular at the same localities, rarely in small grains or crystals with corunduin in Macon and in Jackson counties; in acicular crystals in Mevklen- burg; in ‘long crystals in quartz in Chat- ham and Mitchell; in beautiful acicular crystals in Iredell; acicular crystals in limonite and quartz and geniculated crystals in Alexander; acicular crystals in brownish amethyst in Wilkes, and in Clay, Yancy, Burke, McDowell, Ruther- ford, Polk, Burke, Catawba, Cabarrus, Ri indo!ph, "Mitchell, Yancey and Lincoln.

A TREMENDOUS OUTPOURING ON THE STREETS OF BERLIN. The services in the cathedral begun with a soft prelude on the organ, during which the mourners begin to assemble. Dr. Koegel read passages from the 19th psalm and verses 25-2 of the 11th chapter of John, The choir sang “I Know that my Redeemer Liveth.” Passages were then read from psa'm 91 and Timothy ath chapter, verses 7-8; tue chaplain con- cluding with the words, ‘Blessed arc they who die.in the Lord, now and evermor.e”’ The choir responded with the words, ‘Yea, the Spirit saith taey shall rest from their labors; their work shall live after them.’’ The prayer was then intoned, What God doth is well dane.” Prince Bismarck and Gen. Vow Moltke, were nol presens at the service in. the cathedral, nor did they take part in the} procession to the mausoleuin. The cathedral presented a 1. ost solemn and impressive appearance. When the soft organ prelude began th: court chamberlain and the mini: te s took pos - | tions behind tabourets, bearing the em- pire’s insignia. Gen. Von Paje, holding the imperial standard, then stationed himself at the head of the coffin, Count Lehndorff and Prince Radziwill, the late emperor’s aids-de camp, with drawn swods, standing on either side of him, and the adjutant géveral and other aids standing together at the fuot of the coffin. While the organ still played the rayal- ties entered, Prince William arriving at noon, At @ signal from the chief master of ceremonies the organ broke into swell- ing tones and the service was besun. Prince William stood in the middle of the nave behind the imperial stumdard. Alongside of him were the King of Sd - ony, King of Belgium and the King: f Rvoumania. Close by stood the (Grand Duke of Baden, Princes Albrecht and Henry and other princes of the royal house of Prussia, the Prince Imperial of Austria, the Prince Imperial of Russia, the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas of Russia, the Prince of Wales, the Crown Prince of Italy, the Crown Prince of Denmark and the Crown Prince of Greece, all in the uniform of their re- spective countries. The Princess of Bavaria, the Grand Duke of Hesse =» other notables and foreigu representatives including Gen. Billot, of France, and his suite, formed the next rovs i e nave. The diplomatic pew was crowd The scene in the cathedral was truly memorable when, amidst the stiains of the final chorus and the sharp rattle of volleys outside, twelve regimental com- mand:rs slowly and reverently raised the co Tin from its resting place, moving forward with it on their shoulders to the * Egypt Ccal Company,” is the tit'e | beat section of the fast mail train froim ly injured, George Gould unhurt and | ¢ have gone out with ee oe + £ a and otber insignia. Above the coffin waved the imperial standard. borne by Gen, Von Pape, On each'side of hi walked an officer with drawn sword. The royalties assumed positions in the cortege in dye order. As_ the coffin reached the door tl. drummers of the military band _outsid: a deafening tattoo. This was the signal fr the troops ; toprepare tom - e the proces-ion was forming the bands pla edi Chopin's “March Funebre,” the soun of the tolling of the church bells mingling with strains. The forma- tion of the cortege occupied some time but was effected in an orderly manner in rigid accordance with the official pro- gramme. The Soren Coons absenee of the emperor, and Count Von Moltke, and Prince Bismarck was deeply regret- ted. This was the only prominent change in the arrangements. The pro- cession was in every way worthy of the occasion. The military display was magnificent, though somber. The entire escort, comprising the elite of the armr, wore dark overcoats and: mantles owiug to the extreme cold. Af) the surround- ings ofthe funeral car were -invested In the morning the French Gen. Bill t placed on the coffin a superb garland of roses, violets, and came‘ias. Wreaths were also contributed by delegates from Mescow, Kieff, ineton| ac Rotterd: m, and VEN. 2 2c, Rawk. Dr. McKenzie has received seve:al threatening letters and the empcror has given orders that he be specially pre- tected. . it is feared the emperor will break down after the excitement attendant on the obsequies of his father and his own coronation. He has maintained good heaith since his return. Dr. McKenzie has removed his rooms from the floor below that occupied by the emperor to one adjoining. the signe of the chief mourner, the heir to the throne, accompanied by three kings of German Llood, fullowed by the most illustrious representatives of every European country, whose presence gave evidence of the universal veneration in } which the deceased was |e d, and by a long line of statesmen—all combined to give the scene an impressiveness that was reflected in the demeanor cf the dense throng watching the cortege. Wending its way over the castle bridge and through Unter den Linden, the pro- cession reached the Brandenuurg gate a few minutes after two o’clock. Luter den Linden presented an extraordinary spectacle, like the gloom of night at midday. Everything was black—houses, pillars, flags. In the midst of this in- tense somberness of co'or giimmered the pale ligint of the lamps veiled with crape. he strangest ettect came from the tlar- ing light of piteh torches, throwing over the scene a glare that was tempered by the smoke of tac turches blown vy the wind. The demeanor of the countless spectators was excellent. The silence was unbroken. Every one remained un- covered until the coffin had passed. In the Siegesallee, as ad been arranged, the procession halted. Crown Prince William, who had thus far walked im- mediately behird the funer:] car, now entered a carriage accompa ied by theJ kinys of Saxony, Belgium and Koumania. lhe other royalties at the save time took seats in carriages following that ot the Crown Prince. The order of the procession was now changed, the guard du corps assuming the place of escort, and ofhicers of lower rank relieving tic pall-bearers. The cortege then moved onward until it reached Charloitenburg. . At 3:15 o’clock the remains were re- ceived at the mausoleum by the p: stor of Charlottonburg, and Koegel then read the prayer, “Blessed is the man v ho re- ek sisteth temptation,” and the }tord’s praycr. The chaplain then clos d the solemn service with the bese jiction. Members of the imperial family ard the other mourners then withdrew, the gei- Orals twig, lato ci ce Gee oe cre LHSE vy placing their hands as if iv saints uponsbis cofiin, A salvo of ar ilery an nounced that the ceremony wus over.

Few persons who pass the old twoe story brick building, Na 916 Second avenue, which has a decayed weoden awning in front of it and bears\the sign, ‘Steam Carpet Cleaning,” are aware that it shelters the Board of Health's vaccine virus “farm.” The arst floor of the building recently was converte linto a stable for cattle that are kept there to undergo vaccination, A cleaner, warmer and better venti lated stable probably can not be found in the city. Sixtcen fat cows and Texan steers stool in the stables the other day when a reporter entered the place. Dr. Pardee, the virus expert, was at work in his laboratory iu the rear of the stable, while two assistants were looking after the cattle. Dr. Pardce's den is lavishly decorated with colored prints, and is occupied in his- absence by a white cat. Oa the shelves are glass jars containing goose quills and “points” of virus. A biz table, on which calves formerly were strapped while undergoing treatment, oceupics ® part of the room, and there i3 a small grindstone used for roughening the quills which are to receive the virus. The manufacture of bovine virus for the protection of human being against small-pox has been going on under tho or more. Formerly he operated on calves, but lately he became convinced that better virus conkl be obtained from large cattle, and the Health Board decided to give him a new “farm.” By a clever arrangement of movable bars in the stalls a. cow or a steer is prevented from kicking while it is being vaccinated ina dozen or twenty different places. The operation most annoying tothe animal comes later, when -the virus is being transferred from it to the quill points. It is neces- sary forthe Health Board to buy tho cattle outright, feed them well while undergoing treatment and for some butchers at a loss. The outlay for rent, feed, salaries, cost of materials and losses in eatils trading amounts to about $10,000 a year. through the sale of virus. Last vear thedepartment received $2,239 for virus sold to druggists and physicians. Prob- ably money could be made out of the “firm” if the Board of Health charged afair price for all the virus it coull dispose of, but the sanitary officials are pox. Last year nearly 9),000 persons in the city were vaccinated free of enough virus to vaccinate 30,0)) more persons was given away to public insti- tutions. As druggists are charged twenty-five cents fora single ‘‘point,”’ the gratuitous vaeciaations by the Health Board on tiat basis last year $30,099. large cattle in the viras ‘farin’ has been attended with surprisingly good vaccination ‘took’ in every case.

We mentioneed several weeks age that irish potatoes were brought to this country from Ireland in consider- avle quantties. We see now that New England producers are claiming protec- t @1 against this importation of foreign potatoes. There is already a tax of lets. per bushel on foreign potatoes, but the New England producers are not satisfied with this and are clam- mering for a higher tax so as to pre- vent the importation and give them a monoply of the American markets.

(From our regular Correspondent.) Wasnixetox, March 26, 88. ’ The sudden and nuexpected death of Chief Justice Waits, of the U. S. Supreme Conrt, on Friday morning, at his residence in this city, was like a thunderbolt from a cloudless sky.— Everybody was suocked. Few people knew that he was sick, he having on Monday presid- ed over the session of the Court which made important decisions, including the one in favor of the Bell Telephone company. Justice Waite was very popular in this city. He was loved and revered by every one with whom he came i. contact and his loas will be decply felt by a lirge circle of friends. Justice Waite was an honest, painstaking, upright officer, and the seventh man who Lee held that distinguished place. He was appoint- ed Chief Justice from Ohio in 1874, by Presi- dent Grant, and was the successor of Salmon P. Chase. The funeral services will be held on Wednesday in the Hall of the House of Repre- sentatives, and the remains will be taken to Toledo for interment. Mrs. Waite, who was visiting California at the time of the Justice's death, is on her way to Toledo, and is axpected to reach there about the time her husband's re- mains arrive there. The political importance of this death can hardly be over estimated. If the proper ap- pointment shall be made to the vacancy, it will have great effect towards bringing the Court back to the strict construction of the Constitu- tion for which it was noted previous to the late war. This appointment, owing to the even manner in which the opinions of the eight Jus- tices arc now balunced, places more powcr as well as a larger responsibility on Mr. Cleveland than has probably ever before fallen on a Pre- sidert Still the Country need have no fears. He will appoint the right myn. Among democrats here it is pretty generally believed that the ap- pointment will go cither to Speaker Carlisle, or Postmaster-General Dickinson, although a number of other gentlemen are favorably men- tioned. But everybody may be sure the Presi- dent will take his own time to fill this im- portant position, after carefully considering the claims of all. The House has passed a bill to prevent the products of convict labor from being furnished to or for the use of any Department of the Government, and from being used io public buildings or other public works. and to prevent the employment of alien labor on public build- ings and works and in the Government De- partments. Chairman Barnum, of the National Demo- cratic committee has been here for several days. He says the outlook is all that could be asked. The Senate has passed the bill reducing the postage on seeds, bulbs, plants, shrubs, ctc., to four cents, per pound. The House committee on Revision of the laws have reported favorably the joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution for the election of United States Senators by the direct votes of the people. . Senator Saulsbury, of Delaware, made a strong speech in the Senate on Thursday, in support of the President's message. He said: +The Democratic party is uot in favor of free trade, but it is carnestly in favor of reducing and arranging tariff rates so that no greater tax- ation would be imposed on the people than was necessary to meet the just demands of the gov- ernment.” He further stated that he was in favor of retaining the tuxes on beer, whiskey and tobacco, in order to relieve from taxation everything essential to the comfort and welfare of the people.

But it is specially to be noted that the tax lists for the year 1886 show 141,123 white polls, and only 64.608 colored polls,. which made the white polls 68.6 per cent of the whole number of pvils and the colored polls only 31.4 per cent, which is just about the proportion that there has been between listed white and colored polls for four years also, as far back as I have calculated it. The United States census of 1880 showed the number of white voters tc be 189,732 and of culored 105 ,018—294,75) voters of whom 64.4 per cent were white and 35.6 per cent color- ed. I bring the figures together for con- trast: White children........ 62.4 per cent. White voters.........- 64.4 per cent. White polls listed..... 68.6 per cent. Colored children....... 37.6 per cent. Colored voters......... 35.6 per cent. Colored polls listed....31.4 percent. This evidently shows a large failure to list for taxation on the part of the negro- es, for I feel sure that the colored people between 6and 21 years of age are not more in number proportionally to the whites than-they are beyond the age of 21 years, at, which polls are required to be listed. Even ifit is contended that proportionaliy morecolored children are porn than whites, it is certainly true that from want of attention more of them proportionally die before they reach the schoolage, ‘These figures tend strongly to show that instead of 64,603 colored polls listed for taxation we should have 84,809—20,201 more than we have, if the negroes listed as well as the whites. , And further: The property of the State in 1886 was $202,752,622. On this the school tax is 12} cents on $100, which would amount to $203440,77, which is essentially all collected. The whole number of polls listed was 205,731. At $1.50 on each, which is about the average applied to schools, the polls wou'd give a revenue of $308,696.50. Putting these two items together, we have $562,137.27. But from these two sources the returns show receipts to the SCHOOL FUND of only $497,337.95 which represents actual collections of $523,566.21, the Sheriffs commissions of 5 per cent being deducted before the revenues are placed to the credit of the shcool fund. These figures show a loss of $38,571.06, almost all of which is to be attributed to a failure to pay the LISTED poll tax. Let us bring tigures together: Loss on polls that are listed. . .$38,571.06 Loss on 20,201 colored polls NOUlisted myer 30,501.88 Total loss to school fund on DO!

I think it safe to estimate the loss to the school fund from failure to list and pay po!l tax at not less than $75.000; and to the county poor fund at $25,000—a total Joss on poll tax of $100,- 000. Of course these figures are only an ap- proximation, but they are not very far from the truth. Indeed the returns, and settlements with the sheriffs, in many counties show very large insolvent lists. Whatever can be done by the county officers to correct this delinquency should by all means be done, and I make the statement to call special attention to it asa matter of no small consequence. Surely people who get the benefit of the public schools ought at leastto pay their poll tax, almost allof which goes to the school fund. The county officers have gradually in- creased the school funds without any change in the law (the law has not been essentially changed since 1881 so far as the school taxas are concerned) by giving diligence to the detai's of collection. J point to this matter of failure to list and pay poll tax to show still more dili- gence is required and perhaps additional legislation. 8. M. FINGER, Supr.

But he paid no attention to any of them, and smiled to thiuk how neatly he had worked the wires. About one week ago a well dressed stout built, red faced man got off the train 4m Durham and_ registered as “Somers” at the hotel, There was a suspicious blossom on the end of his nose, and his cock eyes and swaggering manner gave ready evidence that he was a head bummer and off ona “big lark.” He installed himself in the pool room, first making the acquaintance ofthe men, who, before local option election last June, kept saloonsin Durham. He play- ed a good game of pool, and completely wou the hearts of the ‘bcys’ by frequent in- vitation to ‘take something,” and many were the glorious old times they spent together drinking and cracking jokes. It was a noticeable fact that Mr. Somers never kept a bottle of whiskey, never asked any one to take a cock tale ‘shim and sherry” or a mintjulip, in his room. He always said, ‘Boys let’s go over to the place of joy, and crook our elbows.” They went. He would goin and call for beer, whiskey or wine, as the stomach of his friends had progressed in the art of imbibing fire water. He was promp‘- ly answered by the rattling of bottles, gingling of glasses, the popping of corks and the gurgling of liquor. The witness- e3 do not deny drinking with him, they claimed that he worked them for “‘suck- ers’ and caught them, but that they al- ways turned their backs and did not see him pay for-the liq: 0:s.

ANATASE, Anatase is reported as occurring in the gold sands of Burke, Alexander, Mc- Dowell and Rutherford, 52. BROOKITE, In the gold sands of Rutherford, Mc- Dowell and Burke counties there seems to be two varieties of Broukite (if not distinet species), the one in small short -{or s'ender rhombic prisms, the other in monoclinic crystals of an almost. black culor, which, however, in their fragments, »fare transparent and between blue and colorless. PYROLUSITE, It is fonnd in Cherokee, Catawba, Cabarrus, Gaston, Stokes, Jackson, Surry, Alexander, Swain and Mitchell, BRAUNITF. Found im quartz near Hillsborc, Or- ange county. 95. HAUSMANNITE. Recently reported from near Dobson, Surry county; it also occurs in Chatham. 56. DISAPORE. General Clingman observed this rare mineral associated with blue corundum from near Marshall, Madison county. 57 and 58. GOETHITE AND LIMONITE. I put these two species of hydrated sesquioxide of iron together; without fuller examination it is impossible to dis- tinguish the majority of the specimens. sylvania, Davidson, Wake and other counties. 59.

Often found in-indistinct cubical erys- tals with octahedral planes, usually in amerphous compact nodular masses of a faint resinous lustre and of shades be- tween reddish yellow and deep orange red. Fracture uneven to subconchoidal. Spec. gray. 4.840. Found in Mitcheli county. 60. PSILOMELANE. It is often an associate of gold and iron ores in coatings of the quartz in Burke, with pyrotusite in Gaston, and in botry- oidal masses in Caldwell, Mitchell, Hay- wood, Chatham, Gaston, McDowell and Lineoln, 6l. Wap. There is often an imperceptable change from pyrolusite into psilomelane ard wad, that, without analysis, is often dif- ficult to know to which a specimen may belong. The earthy varieties are gener- ally called wad. It occurs in Cherokee, Macon, Jackson, Mitchell, Burke, Cataw- ba, Surry and Mecklenburg. 62) SENARMONPITE OR VALENTINTITE. The incrustation of the native an- timony of Burke county, which does not show any crystallipe- planes, belongs to either one or the other of these species. 63. BIBMITE.

C., 181 Pearl st., N. Y. ——— OO SEE _ Made for the Woods. In his “Random Recollections,” Henry B. Staton tells the following laughable story of Jeremiah Mason, the great lawyer: After he had become distinguished in New Hampshire, he went into a ru- ral county totrya civil suit. A pom- pous little Judge was on the bench. ile assigned Mason to defend a negro en an indictment for petty larceny. With surprise, tinged with idignation, Mason declined the task. “Sir, you ‘must obey the order of the Court.” suid the little Judge. “All you need do is to take your client into the ad- joining room, and give him the best advice you can.” ‘This struck Mason in a “unny li,ht, and hearo-e, beckoned to the negro, and stalked into an empty room with his “client” at his heels. “Are you guilty ?” asked Mason. “Yes, sir,” responded thenegro. “Can they prove it?’ “Yessir; all the wit- nesses are here.” Mason put his head ont of the open window, and said: “It iv abent 15 feet to the ground. Do you see thosé woods?” The negro leaped, and Mason returned into the court. By and by the case wass called, but the negro did not respond. “Where ix your client?” asked the little Judge. “[ do not know,” replied Mason. “Your honor directed me to give him the best advice I could, and the last I saw of him he was running for those wos over there.” Every body laugh- ciexcept the little Judge, and the curtain fell on the scene. ee pean Nothing Like It.

Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery— world-renowned and cver growing in favor! —— ~~ A Texan tells the following snake sory: “One night my wife and my- se f were awakened by a neise from the siielf which contained our small store of crockery, followed by a crash which suowed that a great portion of our cups and plates had been flung to the floor. Springing up to discover the author of this attack upon China, I found a government is robbing the people. keeps the weeds down on his farm and allows them to grow on the bighway ? Extend the house cleaning into the cellar, aud make the work more thor- ough where shirxing would be least seen. Better haye your heart on your work and eighty acres, than a quarter-sec- tion and be at odds with your occupa- tion. There are now a hundred rivulets on the farm, yet it is cheaper to give the animals drink from a well protected from surface water. It is a false netion that is responsible for grievous evils, that a cheap teacher is good enough for the summer term, because all the pupils are small. It is better to take a little liver med- icine than to grumble and feel blue, and the man who has had fruits during the winter will not need the medicine. Good highways are impossible as long as the highway tax is worked out by the tax nayers. Collect the tax in money and let the work publicly to the lowest responsible bidder.— American Agriculturist for April. ee Is Consumption Incurable. Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morris, Newark, Ark., says:“* Was with down Abs- cess of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced me an Incurable Consump- tive. Began taking Dr- King’s New Discovery for Consumption am now on iny third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medi- cine ever made.” Jessie Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio. says: ‘Had it not been for Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption I would have died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health.” Try it. Sample bottle free at T. F. Klutta & Co. Drug Store. Bicycling Women. : [Washington letter to St. Louis Globe- - Democrat]. I saw asight one evening last week — I saw a woman go by on a bicycle! On a bicycle, I repeat; a vehicle with two wheels only, one of which was directly behind the other. Her feet—not to use a strenger term—were on both sides of the connection bar, balancing precisely as a man would. There wasa tlutter of lace and a flash of skirts whenever the respective ends of the walking beam went up. “Will women wear bicycles anywhere else?” T enquired of a maker. “Of course they will. Washington will set the example, and New York, Boston and Chicago will follow. There are 14,000 cycles in this city, and these new low bicycles will gradually super- cede tricycles. It must beso. The survival of the fittest requires it.” So woman is completing her conquest of the planet. Sherows. Shesmokes. She preaches. She hazes. She shoots. She rides. And now she has lassoed the iron grasshopper, aiid has fearlessly mounted it. The bicycle dress is made like a _rid- ing habit, but divided into two skirts. ane eee Electric Bitters. This remedy is becoming so well known and so popular astoneed no special men- All who have used Electric Bitters sing. the same song of praise. —A purer medi- ‘fon cine does nct exist and it is guaranteed to do all thatis claimed. Electric Bitters large snake in a somewhat unpleasant tix. He had crawled upon the shelf, attracted by a number of eggs which were scattered about. One of these he had swallowed, and in order to get at the next he had put his head and a portion of his body through the handle of the juz which happened to stand be- tween the coveted delicacies, The han- dle was just open enough to let his body, in its natural state, slip cleverly through, but not sufficient to let it pass when puffed out by the egg, His snakeship thus found himself unable to advance or retreat; and his flounder- ing about to escape from this novel stock had caused the accident which had aroused us. I, of course, proceeded — at once to execute summary justice up- en the snake, as the eggs he had swal- lowed were a dead loss.’ —— po _——— How's Your Liver?

The second of Senator Vanice’s arti-" cles in the BaHimore Sun on the “Needs of the Nat‘on,” is devoted to the injustice and inimorality of tke so-call- ed “protective” system. low we give some extracts: The old watchwords of the French revolutionists, “Liberty, fraternity and equality,” he says, thongh somewhat shorn of their beauty by an association with the violence and blood of that unhappy period, yet ¢ ntain the sum and substance of Democr:tic liberty. He continues: Centaries ago our an- cestors made war against all forms of legal exclusive’ privileg:s and. class dis- i ction, and the fight was kept up by each sueceeding generation. When our fathers, in the continuation of that struggle, threw off British supremacy in 1776, and established the American Union by our ecnstitution, they thought they had thrown off also ail ‘he kleas and institutions of aristocra- tie Europe which tends to create arti- ficial and unnatural distinctions among men. Theoretically they did succeed in bringing abont the equality of all before the law, but they did not pro- vide for, because they did not foresee, the encroachments on popular rights of the spirit of greed which has in modera times converted the very in- struments of Democratic equality into the means of class advantage. * * * Phe ineqnalities of our society caused by the nneqnal distribution of wealth are sufliciently great to cause much nisery. There is no subject which causes greater anxiety to the humane statesman. Yet when such things come bout naturally, as the result of superior thrift, industry or ability, no one can justly complain. It is the ful- fillinent of a great moral Jaw. — But what shall we say of that character of legislation which hastens and increases these deplorable inequalities? = Which creates them where, eecording to the moral law, they would not exist? By which one class cf cur people, howeve industrious, temperate and thrifty, are yet so weighted down with restriction: ind taxation in favor of another class that they are left behind in the strug- vile? Law represents the supreme power of the State. With us that power is lodged in the people, and law is the exprcssion of the vil indicated by the majority. ‘There ean be nothing more cruel and despotic than to bring the collective will of the majority o: supreme powers of the State to the point of taxing or confiscating the property of the mincray, or, whicl isthe same thing, giving the one ; legal advantage of the other whicl onables the siame result to be obtained. Yet such is the effect and intention o, i protective tariff. Its avowed objec ‘is to enable the home manufacturers t: make money, and as it rejects the idea of foreign trade and shuts it out alto- sether, the only per.ons off whom hh: can make it are his own countrymen Che element of moral wrong in suel legislation is radical and unmistakable. * * * * What isa protective tarff bat a tas levied on A to support Be Tf it be si then it is morally wrong. — In the ab- stract, no man will venture to deny it. The sophistries and subterfuges resort- ed to in the attempt to show that it i not a tax levied an A, or, if it is, that he receives it all back again, are un- worthy of serious consideration in thi: connection. It %s a tax or it could not increase the cost of-the articles on which it is imposed; it ¢s paid by the consumer, for there is none else to pay a farmer to be recompenred under a protective tanff? — Where are the mu- tual benefits in a deal Letwee him and the iron and wool manufacturer? — Tle goes to the iron master to buy his farm iuplements; the price is fixed by the cost of the foreign articles plus the tariff duty; in other words, he buys in a restricted market. To pay for his purchases he sells his wheat or his cot- ton ina free-trade market at a price tixed in London in competition with all the wheat and cotton of the world. He sells in the cheapest market and buys in the dearest market, reversing the economical condition which his interest requires. Is it beneficial to him? Is it honest or just to force him to sell for the lowest price and to buy at the highest? No man will say so; and the only answer is a denial of the Tfict by attempting to show that when one class for the support of an- £in fict a benesit to the man who is supposed to le taxed! * * * It is the true glory of freedom that her institutions are based upon great moral principles, recognizing all the essential righta of man. In no other manner have these rights been so commoaly violated as in the matter of taxation.

They had one virtue in their lawless- ness, however; they told no lies about their motives or the result of their They confessed that they n the “long run.” They wanted beef and they went New England could have shown them a more excel- lent way. he could have shown them how to get their neighbor's cows by law, and taught them to show how their transfer from the pastures of their owners to the larders of their cap- tors was no robbery, but a most ad- mirable process of political economy. and a blessing in disguise! That it increased the quantity of beef, raised the price of beef, and reduced the price of beef all at the same time, whilst both robber and robbed grew rich to- vether! No man goes out cn the highway to plunder his neighbor now armed with pistols; he goes into a leg- islative lobby, and arms himself with « statute. In the name of patriotism and-the workingman he is authorized by th’s statute to collect taxes from his neighbors with which he can buy beef to his stomach’s content. ‘Lhere is no show of violence, no outery, nor hot pursnit, nor unseemly loving or over- driven kine; all is done decently and 1: order. He has violated no law end fears no punishment: On the contra- ry. he poses as the benefactor and hest friend of the plundered man instead of a wrongdoer. - And yet the process is robbery—pure robbery; meaner than that of the Riever, because more cow- ardly, baser than that of any other. beeause right and justice and all the uoble elements of law are prostituied and degraded in the service of selfish greed. In all ages and among ail peo- oles taxes have been cousidered a hard- shin. and the laying of them regarded with the utmost jealousy. They are the favorite and peculiar implement of despotism —the time-honored and dis- honored weans whereby an unscrupu- lous ruler confiscates the property: of the citizen under pretense of public necessity. And yet no Bourbon, Tuder or Plantagenet prince evcr extorted ii tax to support unjast wars or pamper royal yanity more outrageously vivla- tive of private rights than the Congress of free America now imposes “on our people and refuses to reduce. They at ieast had the plea of public necessity to justify their exactions, whilst we are raxing our people thirty-three per ceut beyond, the public needs in- order to benefit private iudividuals. * * * Aside, then, from any question of policy or economy, there is no kind ‘of doubt in my mind that so-called “pro- tective” taxation is avrong in morals as well as inlaw. That which is unjust, unequal and unnecessary must inevita- bly be wrung. _ Se eee eee Judge Gray wss hearing a case that called for a jury trial, and after the usual wrangling that always tries Is patience the jury was selected and sworn. * The Judge settled back in Ins ehair, thinking thit the case ws fairly started, when up jumped a little German who was sitting in cne end of the jury box. “Shudge!” he exclamed.

As the “voice of the turtle will soon’ be heard in the land,” which is the sig- | nal with many farmers to begin the planting ot corn, albeit some of. the stricter sort will not begin until, the poplars bud, whether the dove hollers or not. Any how,it is high time to prepare for afull crop of corn. Big crops of cotton, big talk about Jersey cattle, fancy hogs aud poultry may look well on paper, aud pay well too . sometimes, but [am sure I amon solid ground when T say, if the average’ farmer wants things easy, and greasy around him, he must-have plenty of corn; yes, eld-fashioned corn. There is a temptation to sound the praises of this staid old friend of man and beast, and to show that its position anoug other crops is like that of the ~ farmer among Biker classes of soci ty, but we forego the temptation, and ad- dress ourself tothe simple question of how to raise corn successfully.

If bottom land, the: corn, must be dropped according to fertility . of soil. , This is the method upon which Dr. Notwood made over one hundred bush- els per acre, some twenty years ago, on poor upland at Cokesbury* in Abbeville county. Its advantagesare very appar- ent, and are as follows: The rough manure, stalks, ete., used to fill the main furrow get saturated with water from early rains, and supplies moisture to the plants during droughts; aud in exc: ssively wet seasons serves as efficient surface drains.

Representatives, on Wednesday last, was largely attended. The bills pensioning Mrs. Gen. Lo- gan and Mrs. Gen. Blair hive pas-ed the House. They get $2,000 a year. The naval board of coast defenses organized last year are to be <alled upon to investigate the matter of de- fenses. There is an appropriation of $2,000,000 available for this work, and Secretary Whitney is anxious that it should be judiciously used. Gen. Terry has applied to the See- retary of War to be examined for re- tirement. Bad health is the reason. It is extremely doubtful whether the present House will ever vcte to repeal the limitation clause—limiting the time to July 1, 1880, as the latest date for filing claims under the arrears of pension act of 1879. There are several bills of this nature before the House committee on pensions. A sub-com- mittee has been appointed to consider them, and report to the full committee. ie es Seeman of Pensions, estinates that tt will require ree $20,000,600 an 1-6300,000.000 15 ne all the cltims for arrears of pensions, should the limitation clanc jsh duld the limitation clause be repenied with physical power and knowledge of facts. Our young people must be taught to THINK, REASON and OBSERVE for themselves, and any process that secures this result will educate them. There is much discussion now about manual and industrial training in the public schools, and the leading argument in its favor is that the exercise, mental and physical, of DOING WoRK with the hands the young people are not only de- veloped physically but are taught to reason, think and observe for themselves, and ina practical way to apply what they learn from books. The very process thir minds must be subjected to develop all their powers. Now this process the boy on the farm is put through in the work that farm life requires. The far- mer who requires his boys not only to do the ordinary work in the field, Lut al- so furnishes them with a blacksmith shop anda wood shop, and encourages them to make repairs of farm machinery, sharpen plows, make hoc-handles axe- handles anything they may desire to make; is giving them a very valuable education. He is then making them REASON, THINK ANID OBSERVE. A_ boy canrot drive a nail‘ scribe a board and saw it to the scribe, make a toy wagon or DO any work without being MENTALLY developed as well as PHYSICALLY. Many men who have comparative y little book-learning have large brain power and make valuable citizens and marked success in life work. What I have said about farm life for boys has equally strong application to girls. There are so many things to BE DONE in field and house that the hands and brains of the girls also may be kept busy, and with equal advantage to their mental and physical development. Of course I do not mean to discourage book-learning, but fdo mean to say to the children in the rural districts that even though they may not have so long school terms as do the cli'drev in tle int sek , have sa ‘good thing to learn in school what the books teach, but is équally a good thing r- to learn to work, -A very large propor: tion of the growth of otr cities and man- ufacturing interests is due to the perse- verance, strength of character, and strenth of intellect-of men who were burp and trained in the country. s Let the country schools as well as the city schools be gradually worked up te} longer terms and.to. more effiviency, but 'et not manual labor by the young people hg-underrated as an EDUCATIONAL FAC- TOR, or as a preparation for practical success in earning a living. 8S. M. FINGER, Supt. Public Instruction- Sa a OO The Boodlers. Special to the News and Observer. Toronto, Out., April 3.—The Ral- sigh bank case is assuming a_ peculiar torm, Itis developing into a triangu- lar fizht of considerable magnitude and special interest. The police au- thorities here have the prisoners. The Raleizh anthorities intend to bid high forthem and. the Norfolk National Bank has a claim on a portion of the boodle found on the prisoners that they purpose putting into practicable shape unless their claim is_ speedily satisfied. It appears that White, the day, before he and Cross flitted from Raleigh, telegraphed to the Norfolk National Bank for an advance of $10,- 000 ona consignment vf Cotton and tabacco to New York, promising to send in retnrn a bill of exchange on New York the next day. The amount wanted was duly forwarded and receiv- ed by White, who pocketed the pack- age and, with Cross, flitted. He also squeezed two other banks under sim- lar pretenses, a Richmond, Va., Nation- al Bank for $10,000 and a Raleigh bank for $5,000. .This was all the money they took awey with them. Mr. Heartt says he hopes to return with the boodlers at once but in this expectation he is likely to be disappoint- el,as their counsel has rsolved to fight extradition to the bitterend. He says he will assist Mr. Hardy in his scheme ratherthan let them go back Yesterday Cross sent from jail for De- tective Cuddy, and when that officer went down he found Cross crying bit- terly. Cross said he wished to make a clean breast of the whole affair and made the following confession. “Tam very sorry for what |:as hap- pened. If anything shou'd happen to me I want to leaveveverything all right about White, so you go to Ral- eigh and give evidence that will clear White. [want to tell you herein the presence of White, that he had noth- ing to do with the forgeries. I did themall. If anything should happen tomy wife they will never try me. The bank was in an awful bad state when we took hold of it and under onr management it continued to fail. We saw weshould have to go to jail, so we decided totry the next best thing, We resolved to get as much money as we could) secure and skip. We did thatand it has turned out for the worre.” ; Referring to the forgeries Cross said $15,000 would cover the whole amonnt. $< 0p 0 Tir. Pearson in Wiimington. The interest in Mr. Pearson’s reeting He makes the deepest impression on all, and accomplishes re- sults not 'ooked for. He preaches the Word of God with simplicity and earn- estness, and pronounces His judgments without fear. Many who betore his coming announced themselves as opposed to him and his methods, have been frequent Jis- teners. One young lady,, whose pastor discountenaneed the meeting, and not- withstanding her having becn a member ofthe church for some time, professed conversion, saying that she had never yet been really converted. She is a re- gular attendant, and a worker among the unsaved. Surely God’s power is in the preacher and among the sinners. Many of us had looked upon Mr. Pearson as a remarkably sutcessful fpreaeher, full of grace, but not as a man of any special mental powers or of any degree of intel- lectual analysis, but those who heard his sermon on the ‘‘Divinity of Christ’? must have changed that opinion. The writer remembers to have heard but one or two sermons that would equal it in striking analysis, logical sequence of arrangemei.t and positive, vigorous thought. It was complete. All his sermons are stamped with an individuality ana delivered with such earnestness and fearlessness, backed always by the Word of God, as drives them to the mark. We venture that Wilmington has not done so much solemn thinking and self-examination in years.

F. A. L, sc, onies om trates isbury, in testimony of their : departed i bracher, unanimously adopted the fol- lowing minute and reso!utions: : Rosert Axprew Knox, was born Jaly 7, 1834, in Troy, Ohic, iis parents having removed thith- er from Rowa county, a short time previous. He was reared in Mocksville, N. C., where at the ageof 17 he became a communicant of the Joppa Presbyter’a. ch., under tpe ministry of tre Rev. Wm. A. Hall. In 1854 he entered Da- ¥ Json coilege, anf remained there two years. or a considerable time he was engaged in t-aching at Cool Spring, Iredelt county ; Fort Min, S. C., and at other places. In 1868 Le came to Salisbury, and, in partnership with his brother, engaged ir merchandizing. He at once became connected with the Presbyterian church h re, and in was ordained to the Diacen- ate. Lis faithfulness afd efficiency in that of- fice, together with his deep-toned piety, soon pointed him cut as a suitable person for the Eldership, ani ia 1880 he was ordained to that important office. Here again his devotion to tle cause of Christ, and his readiness to serve the church, won the love and confidence of his bro- ther elders and of the whole church, and he be- came well known as a frequent representative of his church in the Presbytery of Concord. He also represented the church in the Synod. In every position of life he was faithful, conscien- tious and diligent, till the summons of the Mas- ter came, March 27, 1888, to enter into the rest prepared for the people of God. In view of his faithful labors, his lovely char- acter, his sterling iutegrity and his earnest pi- ety, be it— Resolved, 1. That we hercby express our deep sorrow, and our sense of great loss at the re- moval of bro. Knox from the church militant, while at the same time we would bow with submission to the will of our Heavenly Father, “who doeth all things well.” Resolved, 2d. That we desire to record our testimony that our brothtr served the church with singular fidelity and acceptance, both as a deacon and a Ruling Elder, and that he was always willing to subordinate his own business and convenience to the intcrests of the church, which he loved so well. _ Resolved, 3d. That we tender our sincere sym- pathy to the bereaved family of our beloved brother, and assure them that we also miss his cheerings presence, his wise counsels, his faith- ful services, and his fervent prayers; and that we will ever cherish his memory, and endeavor to imitate his consistent christian life. Resolved, 4th. That a page of our Records be devoted to his metnory, upon which shall be in- scribed this Minute and these Resolutions, and that a copy of the same be furnished to the family of the deceased brother, to the N.

Neems’ music school is out and she has gone to her home at High Point, but we have music all the same, if she has gone. The crops are looking fine around Zeb, and the farmers are preparing for their corn and cotton crops, as fast as possiible. The lite showers of rain last week threw them back some, Mr. James Walker died ou the night of the 28th of March, and was buried at Franklinchureh. He left a wife and two children to movrn his loss. God send- eth and God taketh away. Mr. H. C. Lentz, our accomplished merchant of Franklin is waiting on his customers as faithful as ever. He is getting a very large trade, considering the times, and is getting some of his spring goods in now. Mr. Dan'l Kenerly had his tobacco barn burned last week, March 29th. He had a few little fires in the barn drying his tobacco and it is supposed some cf the sticks caught fire whiclf resulted °% abowe. His loss is supposed to be about $150. Our school is in a flourishing condition and will average about thirty pupils. We have a very good teacher and think he does the very best he ean to aid the students. The Professor says the school will continue until the 18th of May, if not longer. Rockweil. Still a few peaches left, good for apples. and prospect Kees ofall kinds and colors in’ great abundanee.

If someone else call kill another or two we may have best As some planer from $ gentleman was hauling ad Salisbury to the Sam Christ- ian mine it was suddenly overturned up- side down in the mud with wagon on top. The cause was the wheels drop- ping suddenly down into a deep mud front of Mr. Adam Hartman’s the Go'd Hill road. We do Whether any thing has been broken or not, at last account the machine was still 2ft. in the mud, hole in house on not know and We had the pleasure of spending a day last week in that part of Rowan bordering Stanly and known as Piny Woods. Enroute we saw the ruins of Dr. Shimpock’s barn which was burned about a weck ago. Vhe barn was some distance from the Doctors house which stands nearly in the center of Gold Hill. It was supposed to have been set on fire bya father and son by the name of Glover and of pure down cowardly cus- sedness. The party passed this place last Friday en route for the jail in Salisbury to await the decision of court. Gold Hillisa lively place and has some pretty little residences. Thereare at pres- ent five stores which have plenty to do. The methodist church stands in the cen- ter of town and reflects honor on the people for building so nice a structure. Four and one-half miles from Gold Hill on the Kirks Ferry road Mr P. P Me- Canless and others are buildinga large saw mill, Timber is very plentiful here and seems to increace as we go on, Earnheart & Shaver are to our left saw- ing, it would seem’ enough to supply half of the demands of the county. Far- ther cn are Shaver, Barringer & Parker, each with his water mill sawing in good earnest these rainy times. Mr. Parker told us he had just received an order for 20,099 ft. of plank. Rather a large bill for a water mill but we doubt not but that he fill it with ease. Stock law is not so bad after all on these people, for in fact we see marked change for the better. Instead of the scrubby cattle and pine rooter and razor back eou'd pigs we see nice fine blooded cattle and hogs. Mr. Daniel Ritchie in the edse of stan'y showed us some thorough bred chester ‘hogs which can hardly be beat any where. Sometimes we mect witha man who says I can’t keep no hogs since this d-m stock law came about, but whose fault is it? Isit the stocklaw cr hin? Wheat that was put in with tle drill is looking better than any we have secn in any part of Rowan. They have ia fact the best of wheat land all through the Piny Woods. No part of the county is comming out as fast as they are, and if other parts do not wake up soon they will be ahead. The great need of those peopie is a railroad, and when they get that and save hauling their timber, pro- duce and supplies, from 15 to 25 wiles then success is theirs. MARRIED.

Continuation of the list of North Caro- lina minerals and their localities : Il. TERNARY OxYGEN CoMPOUNDS. 1. SILICATES. A. ANHYDROUS SILICATES. 67. ENSTATITE. Forms beds at the corundum mine of Culsagee, in Macon county, in coarsly crystalline masses of a brownish-grey yellowish color; and in Jackson, Yancey and Mitehell. 68. Dark brownish-black and black pyrox- ene is one of the constant constituents of the numerous “trap” rocks found in North Carolina. . 69. SPODUMENE. The mineral found at J. W. Warren’ s, Alexander county, and heretofore re- garded as diopside, has been lately ascer- tained by Dr. J. L. Smith to be a new variety of Spodumene. He says: ‘It is one of the most beautiful varieties of Spodumene I have ever seen, and I think its beautiful color (emerald green) en- titles it toa new name.” He afterwards called it Hiddenite, after Mr. Hidden, who brought it to notice. 70. AMPHIBOLE. PYROXENE. a“ ~Amphibole is represented in North Carolina by numerous varicties. We find white and gray tremolite, associated with tale, in Cherokee, Jackson, Macon, Mitchell, Yancey, Madison, and Ashe; grammatite occurs in Ja¢kson; antho- phyllite occurs in Macon; actinolite has been observed in tale in Iredell, Clay, Jackson, Yancey, Mitchell, and other points. Asbestos has been found in Jackson, Macon, Caldwell, Rockingham, Franklin, Wilkes, Yancey, Mitchell, and Alexander, Black and greenish black hornblende is abundant throughout the State in the hornblende slates, horn- blende recks, syenite and diorite. 71.) SMARAGDITE (?) KOKSCHAROWITY, A beautiful mineral, which may be a variety of hornblende, occurs at the Cullakenee mine, Clay county. It has a bright color between emerald and grass ercen, gradually passing into greenish eray. Sp. gr. or the grass-green variety, 3.120. It is associated with pink and ruby corundum anda feldspathic mineral, 72. ARFEVEDSONITE, A black-brownish or greenish-black hornblende, like mineral, is found asso- ciated with the andesite, zoisite and co- rundum of Clay county, and rarely in Macon county. It is easily fusible and gives a strong yellow flame, and is there- fore arfyvedsonite. 73. CROCIDOLITE (°), I have reccived a- specimen said to come from one of the Western counties of North Carolina. The physical prope: - ties and the chemical tests made indicate that it is crocidolite. It consists of long, delicate fibres of a blue color, is insoluble in acids, and fuses easily to a black glass, coloring the flame ye'low. 74. BERYL. Found in six-sided prisms, doubly termipated, sometimes froin about half an inch to four inches in thickness, and from one to eight inches in length; color, yellowish and bluish-green, small ent enough to be cut for gems (acquama- rine), associated with orthoclase, musco- vite, tourmaline, ete. It is found in Yancey, Mitchell, Buneombe, Madison, Macon, Jackson, Henderson, Catawba, Caldwell, Gaston, and Alexander, where the finest emeralds are found. 72. CHRYSOLITE. This is one of the most interesting minerals in North Coarolina, where it forms large beds between the hernblende and granitic rocks. It is generally of a vellowish green color, but also greenish white, grey and brownish green, mostly finely granular rarcly foliated, oecasion- ally in larger grains disseminated through the fine-grained mass; associa- ted with cbromite, enstatite, actinolite, tremolite, asbestos, tale, chromite and corundum, and found in Macon, Hay- wood, Jackson, Yancey, Mitchell, Clay, Watauga. Madison, Bungombe, Ashe and many other localities. The chrysolite is subject to extensive alterations, forming serpentine and tale with their usual associates. [TO BE CONTINUED. ] Mortuary Report for March, 1888. 4 blacks. 6 of the 7 whites died with Pneumonia; 3 blacks, (disease not reported; 1 black died of Puerperal Convulsions; all the blacks were adults. Of the whites 4 were children under 24 years of age; the other 8 were 25, 54 and 60 years, respect- ively; one child reported as dying with German measles. This is the greatest mort e had in Salisbury for many months J. J.

The bell rirg- ing and some of the impersonations wcre very good, but asa whole the entertain- ment was poor. The ladies showed how much human nature is like a flock of sheep, When one or two started for the door all leftand thelatter part of the pei- formance was heard only by menand boys.

Captain Brown was) probably the most famons of the old-time pauther slayers. Ile wasair carly se tler at the Forks of the Loyalsock Creek, near ; whatis now the mountain villaze of Forksville, Sullivan County, where he putupa ¢abin and spent his time in hunting. He was the panther scourge of a wide region, and his erbia was the frst place that wits visited by the set- tlers thereabouts when a panther had Lereft some one of them of a much- treasured sheep or cow, the visit being she to beg Captain Brown to come and rid their particular Joewity of the ma- rauding beast. Among the hundreds of tales of daring and persistence mani- fested by the great pioneer hunter one f{< recounted with e-pecial pride by de- ecendants of his. Among the first to sec the then un- known and unbroken region about the forks of the Loyalsock was a scttler named Samucl Rogers. One morning Rogers appeared in great trepida ton at Captain Brown's cabin, just as that | hunter was rigginz himself up for s day's tramp among the panther haunts. Rogers said that a big panther had broken into his sheepfold the night be- fore and had carried oF his most highly prized ram. Rogers was it good panther hunter himself, bui be impiored Brown to accompany him in the chase. It was one of Brown's eccentricities that he never hunted in company with any- body, and he refused to go with Rogers. But he said: | “Now, you go home, Rogers, and) keep cook Twon't vo with you after | that big panther, but PH go ont myself and kill it for you, and hope Pil have a chanee to get it’s mate, too.”’ That was satisfactory to Rogers, and Captain Rie took his wun and went at once tothe woods on the flats at the forks of the creck. It was late in the fall, and there was alight snow on th: ground, At the edge of the creek he struck the fresh | track of a pantherin the snow. From the unusual size of the footprints and drops of blcod here and there alone the | trail, the bleod havin come from some | animal the panther hal seerred and was earrring away, Brown knew that | he hal located the biz shecp-siealee | which had been in Settler Re gers’ fol | It is the habit of panthers, like all of the eat family, to bary what is leftfrom afeast. to be exhumed and cates on gome future occasion. © Brown knew that by followinz the trail, if he Qid not overtake the purther itsel’, he would come to the spot where it had buried the remains ,of the sheep, ana that by writing near that spot he would be sure to wet a shot, not only at the one panther, but more than likely at its wate, which the former would fetch along to join in devouring the mutton. The honter followed the trad for a tong distance, and fins’ly, on the cde of a dense laurel thicket. found where the panther baw buricd the sheep. Before preparing himself to hide for the com- ing of the game, he instintictively glaneed up wmong the tops of the tall trees bordering the swamp, and discov- ered the panther, his huge length stretched alonz a limb near the top of one of the trees, ana his eyes fixed oa the honter below. Brown raised his riffle to firs, but the agile animal sprang to another tree top, and so swift were his movements that he escaped from the sight of the hunter, who could only foliow the line of the beasi’s retreat by the swaying of the tree tops as tho panther leaped from one to another. The course the panther took was to- | passed the entire length of reached the side of tne to bondd wvn and commence wher the great was about stripping it of its skin. beast sprang to its feet as Guccamts lightning, and with a yell that almost deafened the surprised hunter, threw iiself upon him. ‘Phe foree of the shock threw Brown several fect away, off the rock. It was not only a blow Pievee te panther gave him, bat asthe infuriated animal sirack it buried its lon? claws +» the hunter's thie buekssia shirvan l ripped it from him from neck to waist. Srown still retaiaed his knife in his erasp and strageted to quickly regain his feet. He rose to his kness, and as did so the evouching panther leap “ud toward him. Quick as aflash the wary hanter threw himself or his brek on lh 2 ground. Bat for that the panther, fly- ing through the aie with wonderful velocity, would haye strae’s him and enrried him along in the dight. As it was, the panther passed over him. Rapidly as the panthers leap carried it through the air, Brown's eye anid | band were queker still, The hunters keen, long-bladed knife, thrust upward as the hue body of the panther was passing over himas he lay, was plunged almost to the hilt in the animal. The thrust was between the fore lexs, but the knife was not withdrawn, and its keen edve, buried in the panther’s flesh, the great animal's body, and the panther fell dead and disembowcled fifteen feet be- yond the spot where Brown lay covered With blood that had poured upon him from the frizhtful) wounds of his now ‘vanquished foo. The hunter jamped to his fee: aac was eying with grim. satisfiretion the comple eness of his work, when a cry, of which he at onee knew the signiti- cance, echoed anong the rocks.

I: was early in ‘64, wiule our brigade (Hood's) was stilb in’ Pennessee, that ove morning we received orders to be ready to march ata moment’s notice. We had been idle for some time, and the prospect of action was not unwel- come. * Besides, a “brash” meant a possible supply of blinkets, elothes, comuissary stores—all of which we were in-sore need! Those of us who had them, roiled up our ragged blank- ets; the bugles sounded “fall in,,’ and we were on the march. We learned presently that the Fe.- erals were advancing by Cumberlaad Gap, where we had about a regiment of cavalry and a battery of hight arull- ery. It was a splendid day: the ground was covered with a fresh fall of snow that ghistened in the cold sunshine, and melted away here and there, show- ing patches of warm-looking brown earth. The sky was a soft pale blue overhead; and the crisp little wind that blew in our faces had lost the bit- ing edge it had at dawn. Our’ spirits rose as we fell into the swinging step, and there was nostrrgling. We had tramped steadly forward forsome time when we heard, all at once, asharp firing of smallarms ahead, and rapid work by the battery. It seemed to bea short, hot fi ht, with- out the usual skirmishing, and we were put at once on a double-quick. But much to our disappointmeut, when we came to the bit of open country where the firing had seemed so brisk, sive for the trampled snowand one or two wounded men and a few dead horses, a broken down caisson, asaber dropped here and there, or a blue or gray cap caught on a bush or tossed on, the zround, there was no evidence that a reviment of cavalry and a battery of artillery had here met an enemy ‘in hand to hand conflict. The bederal troop, which proved to have been a single regiment out on a scout had re- tired beyond the Gap, and our own force had followed in the direction of its former position. We were grumbling loudly «t hav- ing come so far for nething, when a woman, mounted on an old serrel horse, and wearing a blue homespun sun-bonnet, came galloping down the road. She dismounted at a small double log cabin near by, and walked rapidly over to the spot where we were making ready to camp. Had we seen anything of her two little boys? she asked, turning a pale agonizing face upon us. They had been perched upen the fence when the Rebs began forming in line just across from the cabin, and the older one, “a leetle turned o’six,” had taken his lit- tle four-year-old brother by the hand and run out into the read to Ieok on. Then. in a moment, and before any one could cry out to them even, the Yanks had came thundering along, and they had been caught between the lines and swallowed upin the rush and roar of battle. When the shore over they were no where to be seen. She had gone on to where our |i had been re-established, and had there got ready leave to pass over tothe Fed- eral camp; but no one had seen or heard anything of the missing children. Would we help her hunt them? Wouldn't we! Every man volun- teered with a whoop. We formed a long line—like a skirmish line —and started, searching every foot of ground ! carefully. and calling cutcheerily as we Hes went. We peered under the edzes of fallen trees. We turned over brash heaps. We senttered the dead leaves that had drifted in root-bound hollows, We dragged the little pools of water made by the melting snow, We had gone over two or three miles in this way. The short after- noon was waning, wand the wind was growing sharp and keen with the lengthening rays of sun.

The next moment he staggered under his light burden and almost fell. A hoarse groan burst from his lips. The little head with its tangled mass of yellow curls rolled heavily to one side; the little arms hung inertly down; the sergean't hands where they supported the tiny neck were all dabbed in blood.

Harman, Esq., Danville, Va., DEAR Sir:—In reply to yours of thé 26th inst., I beg leave to say I regret that I cannot give you any assurance that Congress will come to a speedy de- cision upon the question of the repeal of the internal revenue taxes upon tobacco. I do not doubt that a large majority of the members of the House are favorable to such repeal and that the Senate also is likely to vote for the proposition. Ihave vainly tried for more than two years to obtain recognition for the purpose of oifering a resolution for the repeal of these taxes. It is well known that I have been refused recognition for such purpose, although it is general!y conced- ed by all well informhd persons, that such a resolution, asa distinet proposi- House by a decided.majority.

Tm deep down in that cause and at dead rest, It will take a Greensboro temperance men can handle to move me out of my democratic bed. I voted for prohibition when that ques- tion was presented to the people, and I think now that it ought to have passed. But we lost it by an overwhelming vote, and temperance got a back-set; and now, if the Democrats throw away their votes on the Temperance candidates which are to be brought out at Greensboro, next month, (who are sure to be beaten out of sight), good-by to the only truly consery- ative party in the State; good-by to the Democratic party; good-by to wise and good government. The temperance cause itself will be damaged by the endeavor of its unwise advocates to split the Democratic party. What need have they for it while they have local option? TI believe that radi- calism if successful, will run riot as it did before when in power, and that the peo- ;ple will again be brought to grief by their wastefulness, extravagance and recklessness. The defeat of my party means a fear of danger, and it shall not come by my vote; and I hope every Dem- ocrat will stand by his colors as solid as the granite on Dunn’s Mountain.

Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, told me the other day that he was an inven- tor, and had taken out two patents, from which he was receiving a good income. One of them is for a pocket compass, and the other for a leather or rubber base or washer at the end of a cartridge. Said he: ; | “I have always been very much astonished at the way in which a great idea crept out of me, but it proved to be a profitable aud useful one. I was with a friend one day, a gun manufact- urer in my town, who was telling me of the difficulty he met with in secur- ing the requisite amount of elasticity at the base of a projectile. Without a moment's reflection { asked him why he didn’t put on a piece of rubber or leather. He looked a me witha gratified surprise and said if was curious no one had thought of it, but it seemed to him to be not only the simplest but the best thing. Itw as tried, worked like acharm, and then my friend made application for a patent in my name. It was granted, machines were constructed for placing the washers upon the cartridges, and they are now in general use. I get a handsome royalty out of it.” “Ahd the other patent?” “That was for a compass, a tube about as big as a lead pencil, only not so long, which can be earried in the vest pocket or hung from the watch- chain. It is a neat little thing and con- venient.”"— Washington Letler. Se Japanese Sacred Nuts. A quantity of Jupanese sacred nuts, the first ever brought to this country, has just been received ata Broadway fruit store. They are called sacred from the fact that they are used in cer- tain forms of Japanese worship. The nuts are placed on the altar and fynited. They burn witha bluish flaine and give off a pecul'ar odor. They are rich in oil, and the fumes are supposed to rise as incense to the gods. They wunder water, have a leaf like a pond lily, and are shaped like a steer’s head, with two projecting horns. This resemblance is so great that it is diffi- cult to believe that they are not carved. In the raw state they are hard and tasteless, but when cooked they have the flavor of boiled chestnuts.

Ruwors of corruption were rife. and a lease of the Broadway line to the Seven in Avenue railroad for 909 years precipitated legal inquiry. He was ar- rested and bailed out in October, 1SS6. The trie! began April 26, 1887, It took nearly five weeks and exheusted nearly 1.800 talesmen to fill the jury box, On June 20 Sharp was found guilty of bribe-giviny, with a recommendation of imerey from the jury. He was sentenced on July [4 to four vears of imprisonment and tothe payment of a fine of 85,600.

The proceeds of thee bonds were stolen as everybody knows: but now the question arises, what did they do with thet iron? Was it sold and the cash proceeds stolen as were those bonds. * Likely enough here is another item the great man of figures, Loge Harris of the Svgne?, will have for his fable of Democratic extravagance cb!

The white children, during the last 4 years; increased from 321,561 to 363,481, total In for years 31/920 dr 9.92 per cent. During the same time the co'ored'childreh increased from 193,813 to 212,789; total 18,946. ar 9.70 per cent. Thus it will be seen that the rate of increase is verv nearly the same for lo h races, the whites having increased only .15 percent. faster or15 in 10,000 ~ : Last year there Were enrolled in the white schools 57.2 per cent or 202,134 out o* 353,481 children; in the colored schools 58.8 per cent or 123,145 out of 212.789. The average daily attendance in white schocls was 35.2 per cent, and in the col- ored schools 33.5 percent. Looking back over four vears the figures show that there isa small INCREASEin both the enrollment and averace attendance ofthe whites and a small DzcREASE ofthe colored, I state this because it is sometimes said that the colored people attend the public schools better thanthe whites. ‘Phis may be true for some cominunites, but it i-fnotso \r the State according to the returns made to my office. Besides, the whites have a much larger proportional attendance in private schools than the negroes have. Because there are enrolied in our public schgols only 57 or 68 children out of. very 100 there is an opinion among many pco- p e that the remaining 42 or 43 do not at- tend at all. This is not the fact. Our school age is from 6to 21 years, a period of 15 yuars. During any one session a large number of small children within school age will not be enrolled who at some subsequent time will be; and also a great many, say from 16 to 21, drop ont of the public schools to engage in work or pass into the private schocl and colleges and are notenroledin the publie schools. The fact is that during the short time our schools arein session we have enrolled in them a larger per cent of POPULA- TION than Massachuscits; Connecticut, or New York. We have enrolled 20.03 per cent, of the whole population ine'uding nen, woman, and children, of all ages, or one person in five, while Massachusetts has only Hyper cent. Connecticut 18.71 per cent., and New York 19.28 per cent, these figures are taken from the last re- port of the Commissioner of Education and are based on the United States census of 1889 and the latest school census of the States compaired. And further, ourdaily average attendance in proportion to the whole population is better than in New York or Connecticut. Iam free tosay that quite a large num- ber ofourchildren do not avail themselves of the facilities they have’ but the greatest difference between the educational status of the state and those I have namec above, and other Northern $s tates, cor sists in the Jength ofannual s-:hool terms North Carolina has 60 days per dnnuum, (just about the same for both races) Mas sachusetts P72, Connecticut 179, and New York 178. With nearly the same rate oi enrollment and average attendance and, say, three times as long terms. the public educational forces in these three States are three times as great as are those of; our State, granting that our teachers are as well prepared for their work. We are indeed far behind in the educational race but still our public schools are improving in ¢fliciency and attendance, and cur many private schools are giving valuable help both inthe instruction of children who are not ineluded in the public school | enrollment, and in providing higher edu- cation to those young persons who have pussed beyond the publie school course.

SILICATES. A. ANHYDROUS SILICATES. t ‘76. GARNET. Widely distributed through the State, and a constant constituent of many of the mica and hornblende slates, in which it occurs in minute crystals dddecahedra) and trapezobedral erystals of « brownish or brownish red color; it also oceurs in many of the talcose and chleritic slates larger trapezohbedral. crystals of a brown- ish red colorare frequently met with in the mica mines of Mitchell and Yancey | couuties; imperfect dodecahed:al eryst: Is in’ Rutherford, and in talcose slate, in Rockingham, Cherokee, Madison, Surry, and many other counties. The most beautifal and perfect crystals: are large trapezohedra, of a brownish red color, from Burke, Caldwell and Catawha counties, Pyrope, of good color has been observ- edin the sauds from gold Washings in Burke, McDowell and Warren counties. ‘The iaassive manganese garnet or spes- sartife, is abundant in Rutherford, Chat- ham, Stokes, Cabarrus, Lincoln, Gaston, Rockinzlam, Forsyth, Ashe, Burke, Guilford, Macon, McDowell, Mitchell, Rutherford and Surry, 77. ZIRCON, Abundant with the geld sand of Burke, MeDowell, Polk, Rutherford, Calawell, Mecklenburg, Nash, Warren, and other counties, in very minute yellowish brown and brownish white, sometimes amethys- j<ine, pink and blue, erystals with many slowly through the thickets remind vs of ! planes; large greyisi brown crystals of zircons ave found so abundant on the south side of the Blue Ridge near Green river, Henderson county. that General Clingman easily obtained, in a few weeks, in 1860, one thousand pounds of crystals. > 738. VESUVIANITE. A mineral, resembling vesuvianite, oc- ) curs in brownish green indistinct crystal- line masses, intermixed with quartz, and associated with reddish brown garnet, in Macon county. 79. EPIDOTE,. Epidote is found abuhdantly in North Carolina, although fine crystals are ex- ceedingly rare. The fiuest specimen is from the gold washings of Rutherford county; itis stronely pleochroic, like the so-called ‘*Paschkinite,” from the aurif- erous sands of Katha rinenburg, in the Cral Mountains. Pine crystals have been lately obtained by Myr. Hidden, in Yancey county. Yellowish and brown- ish green crystalline mass, sometimes with indistinet crystals, haye been found in Gaston and Maeon. In Mitehell eounty it is found in dark brownish green crystals and radiating masses. Crystals and crystalline masses ip quartzat White Piains, Alexander county. Fragments of epidote in greenish erystals, also a granwar variety are frequently met with inthe gold sands of Burke, MeDowel! rand Rutherford counties. Lipidote of olive green or greyish and Drownish green color oceurs massive as a jirequent admixture of hornblende slate (notably in Mitchell county), or diorite, -ometimes forming pure masses of epido- site, as at the foot of Grandfather Moun- iain, head of Watauga river, Watauga county. It occurs also abundantly and conspicvously,as bright green amygdules in the chloritic amygdaloidal gneisses on Watauga river. It constitutes, with a feldspar, the so-called unakyte rock, Whieh may be seen at Marshall, Madison county, and down the French Broad in occasional scama, and thin beds for several iniles. $0. ALLANITE. Allanite is found in jet black or brown- ish black slender erystals, sometimes of six and twelve inches in length, and erystalline masses in a granite vein at Balsam Gap, Bancombe county, and under similar circumstances at the Buch- anan Mine, Mitchell county. At both localities the allanite under- goes an alteration and changes into a pale brownish or brownish ye'low min- eral which has not been further exam- ined. A mineral cf an orange color from the Buchanan Mine, resembling gummite may be tbe so-called yttro-gumimite; the quantity at hand was too small and i im- pure for analysis, but it contains uranic oxide end some of the rare earth of the ceri or yttrium groups. This mineral has been recently found in massive form by J. A. D. Stephenson, near Bethany charch, Iredell county, with small crys- tals of zircon imbedded. 81, ZOISITE. The beautiful variety of zoisite, “thulite,’ has been found in slender rose-red crystals in the feldspars at the Flat Rock Mine, Mitchell county. At the Crllakenee mine it is found as one of the products of the alteration of corun- dum. Some ofthe pink as well as the bluish grey corundum are changed into compact and cleavable columnar inasses of zoisite of a greyish. greenish, and} 82.0 PHLOGOPITE. Small brewnish seales of it have been found in the granular limestone near Germantown, and at Martin’s quarry on Snow creek Stoke’s county, and in Mad- ison, Cherokee, Yakiv and Henderson. 83. BIOTITE. Biotite is a constituent of many of the granite, gneisses and inica-schists of North Carolina. It is found only in small black or Lrownish black plates or scales. The localities are too numerous ror mentioning any particular one. It occurs in large plates and in very regular erystals in the mica mines of Mitchell. Haywood, Yancey and Macon.

Yet Colonel Punter was still busily employed in his bachelor rooms fm Piccadilly. The Colonel was a fresh tcomplexioned, somewhat portly man, of mboat fifty years of age, with grizzicd hair nd mustache and a vigor of eye and form, ‘which, although ho had retired, gave ample wvidenee that he was bicssed with plenty of ‘strength and cnergy, and would be quite ready for hard service should his country of him. On tis morning he was ‘co the proofs of a pamphlet that was 1 to appear, entitled ‘The Proper Formations in Savage Warfare.” This phiet wae looked forward to in military dreles with a good deal of interest, for Colonel Punter was a very well-known man, tnd was highly thought of as a scientific poldier. He had been at work on these fs for two hours, and had just made up his mind that it was time to walk down to his club, when his servant cntcrel the room, and, presenting a card, said that the lady would bo very much obliged if Colonel Punter would grant her an interview. “Certainly,’’ said the Colonel, then glanc- &ngat the card he muttered to himself: ~Mrs. Verner—I can't remomber ever to thave heard the name before. I wonder what whe wants.” Thon being a kindly and cour- ‘cous man, he rose from his writing desk, wushed the proofs away, and took up the mewspaper, so that he might not appear to ‘have been interrupted at work. Scarcely had he complcted his little manouver when ‘the door opened and a lady, well but quietly dressed, was shown into the room. She was tnll and graceful, and wore a heavy veil, which, however, on the servant's retiring, xhe threw back, and, holding out hey hands, mdvanced witb asm le, saying: “Iam afraid, Colouel Puutcr, , have forgotten me.” The Colonci was quite equal to the occa xion, and returned her grecting cordially, racking his brains in the meantime to think where he could have seca that beautiful, taiul face before. It was the face of a woman apout thirty-five ycars of age, or perhaps a Nittle more, with dark hair and eves, and an 4udefinable expression of mirth beneath its salnoss, indicating, as it seemed, a lightness of heart which the troubles of the world tnight have dimmed but eould not obliterate. «observing, apparently, the Colonel's some ‘what puzzled expression, she continued, wayly: “I see that, asI oxpected, I shall have to Yhelp your memory. Don't you remember Miss Maud Mervyn, when you were quar- tered at Dover more than twenty years ago? Why, Colonel Punter, you had just got your company then, and we used te dance to- other at the Dover balls.” “Give mea moment, Mrs. Verner,’ he re- plied; “twenty years is a long time for an old inan’s memory to go back in a flash.”’ “Now, don't deny it,’ continued she, langhing. “I sce you don’t remember mo, Yyut Iam not at all offendel, for, indecd, Jiow should you? I wasa slip of a girl then, zand you wore, if you will allow me te say so, @ man of somewhere abont thirty. I, no cloubt, was an infinitely insignificant person ‘to you thon, as, on the other hand, you wore a very important person to me. But, you see, lam obliged to plead our old acquaintance, ‘Colonel Punter, as it iz my only excuse for the liberty I have taken in calling on you.” “Excuse of any kind is quite unncces- sury.” said the Colonsl, with a slight bow iwnd smile. “It is very kind of you to say so,’’ she re- ‘plied; ‘and when you have heard my sad wtory I think you will give me theadvice ~which I have come to ask of you.” “If itis a subject on wiich I am atall qualified to speak,”’ said he, ‘I shall be most happy.” “I think it is ?ocidelly your subject, Colonel Punter,” she replied, ‘for it is about muy son, who is in the ariny, that wish to ask your advice.”’ “Your son—in the army!"’ oxclaimed the Colonel, with an infloxion of voice that was owidedly complimentary to the youthful- ness of her appearance. tment!” ‘The Sixtieth Lancers.”’ “The Sixtieth Lancers!’ repeated the Colonel. “Why, Mrs. Verner, I know your won. His commanding officer : ‘friend of nine, andI have a slight acquaint- vance with the whole regiment.”’ “This is very singular and very lucky,” wal she. tecimont, 1 think you will be botter able to understand and advise os the troubles and difficaltics Iam in regardiug him. Will you Yot me tell you my sad story from the begin- ming, gr shall I be boring you!” “O, pray, don’t think so fora moment, Mrs. Vorner,’ said tho Colonel; and he would have liked to add: ‘Nothing you -eould any would bore mo,”’ but felt it would fbe unsuitable to the occasion. “Well,” she continued with asigh, “my snarried life was a short and not a happ sone, My husband's health was always ba -and for this reason we had to reside abroad. When we had been married two ycars my hhusband died and left me alono in the world ‘with an infant boy.’’ Sho paus d and ‘s¢omed lost for a moment in sad memories, ~while the Colonel glanced sympathetically at her, but thought well to say nothing. “Well,” she continued, ‘during the last twenty ycarsI have lived almost entirely /you will abroad, bui ] sent my son to be educated at | ¥tonu, and about two years ago he obtained @ commission in the Sixtieth Lancers.

Then remembering that a son must never be abused to his mo “] beg your pardon, Mrs. Verner, moment my indignation got | me. Besides, these reports are, perhaps, not true. I do not know the affairs of the junior members of the corps sufficiently well to be able to give an opinion on the subject.” “O, I quite understand that; but do tell me what course I had better take,’’ she said, | glancing appealingly at him. ‘How amI,a helpless woman, to find out whether these dreadfuy) reports are truc or not? And yet I feel that I must know the truth or go mad.” After a pause, during which the Colonel was evidently lost in thought, he replied : “Mrs. Verner, I promsed to do the best I could for you, andI will Iam going down to Aldershot in a few days, and I shall there see Colonel Thompscn; from him I will ascertain what reputation for wealth your son has in the regiment. I admit I don’t much like the detective part of the business, but I feel that it is a sacred duty to protect a lady in your sad position.” “O, how kind of you. Colonel Punter!”’ she exclaimed. “This is more than I had any right to expect that you would do for me. But, O, let me beg of you not to expose my son if these rumors should be true, and let me implore you not to seck an interview with him on the subject. If you leara from the Colonel, a; you kindly say you will, whether what I have heard is true or not, and would, on your return to town, grant me a few words of advice as to what course I had better tale, I should be very grateful.” “J shall be most happy, Mrs. Verner,”’ said he, briskly; ‘but I feel sure that you will find that there is nothing in it after all Your son. as far as I know him, is a charm- ing younz fellow, and quite incapable of the frauds which these accusations impute to him. So pray keep up your spirits, and, if it is convenient to you, lct us arrange to meet here at this tim? va this day week.” The time was quite convenient to Mrs. Verner, end, with many apologics for the liberty she had taken in calling to ask his advice, she departed. On his journey down to Aldershot the next morning Colonel Plunter thought a good deul about his fair visitor of the day before and her troubles. He heaped, more- over, many hard words on the head of young Verner (for, of course, he supposed him, at any rate, partially guilty). “Selfish young rascals, allthe lot of them!” said he to him- self; “they don't mind a straw how much trouble they bring on their relations, if only they can indulys themselves, and such a charming woman, too!’ And then he went off into areverie, in the midst of which he found himself sp2culating as to whether a man of his aze was absolutely and irrevoca- bly too old to inarry without making him- self look like a fool; and as thetrain arrived at Aldershot he hai just come to the con- clusion that thore Was a good deal to be said on both sides. That very evening he saw Colonel Thomp- son, and in the course of conversation man- aged to ask his questions avout young Ver- ner, and found ont that, according to} Colonel Thompson. Verner was the son of a rich morehant in Singapore, and that his people had not been in England for many years. “Yos, thank you.’ said Colonel Punter. | “[ thought I heard of his people in England, but I suppose I must be mistaken,” and then he changed the subject. He happened, how- ayer, just before me3s (he was a guest of | the regiment that night). to meet Verner by. himself, nnd he suddenly resolved, in spite ! of the widow's request, to say a few words | tohim. So stopping forward and addross- ; ing the young man in a somewhat con- strained voice, he stid: ‘Would you mind | taking a turn within’, as there are a few | things I should lice to 89% to you about?” “JT shall be most havpy, Colonel Punter,” said the young man, woulcring what on | earth the old boy had t> say to him. No sooner wers they well out of earshot | than the Colonel turne 1 short on his com- panion, and said sternly: “Il saw your! mother in town ye:terday,"’ and then paused | to watch the ernshing eect of his words. — But no crushing effect was visible; on the contrary, Verner answered in accents of mild surpris:: “You must be thinking of 39m3 one else, sir; my mother is at Singapore.” i “No, Lam not thinking of anybody else,” | said the Colonel, still more sternly; and then added: “So you are going to brazen it out. are you?” “Brazen what out?” said the young man, apparently thoroughly puzzled. “You know very well,” said the Cslonal; “and if you don't, you 80n will.” Then he turned on his heel and walked off. \ Young Vernor stood for a moment look- ing after him; then walked away, laughing heartily. At mess that night he wa3 hoard to say toa brother oflver: “You know old Pun- ter, who's here to-night?” “Yes, roplied the other, “I know him pretty well. What about him?” \ ‘He was in India a good deal, wasn’t he?”” “Yes. Well?” i “Did he ever get a touch of the sun?” “Dare say h2 did; most pzople do out | | there.” “Well, if he did, it has affected his brain— poor old boy! May I ask his regi- | is an old | “As you know my poor boy’s | “What on earth do you mean?” “Why, Imean thatthe gallant Colonel may have his lucid intervals, but when he , met me, just before mess, h2 was as mad as a hatter.”’ “How mad?"’ “Well he told me that he had met my mother yesterday in London.” “She's at Singapore, isn’t sho?”’ | “Yes, and has beon for the last twenty , years, and so I told him.” “What did he say to that?” “He said he saw [ was going to brazen it ‘out. I said, ‘Brazen ont what?’ and he re- _ vorted, with a scowl, thut would have fright- -ened aneclephant, thatI knew very well. | Then he turned and walked off. I could not |help laughing at the poor old fellow at the time, he was so desperately serious about it all. However, the sun may do the samo for me some day, and I really pity him, for he’s avery good chap when he’s all right."’ | ‘O,a capital feliow,”’ replied the other, | “and can tell a very good story. It’s really | Very sad. I suppose it must have becn @ | | touch of the aun, thoughI never heard ef his being odd before.”’ | “He seems all right now, any way,” said | Verner, looking up the table where Colonel _ Punter was sittin. “O, yes, he’s all right now. | what, Verner: I have an explanation. The ' old boy came down from town by a midday train, and [dare say missed his lunch, and | what you took for a madman was only a | fellow very nueh in want of his dinner.” ; And the two young men laughingly changed ; the subject. A few days after this the Colonel was | back in town, and found himself dreading | considerably the coming interview with the widow. He would have to confirm her | worst fears, he was afraid; also, that there ' would be a scene, and he did not like the , idea of it at all.

So he kept murmuring in his most soothing ac- | conta: “Pray, madam, pray, calm yourself.

I hear that he has given himself out im the regi- ment as the son of rich people who live -nbroad, and t: he is living in most extrava- gant style, Ww s it is, in truth, with con- sideruble that his modecraic allow- sauce is regularly pid.” “However,’’ thought he, ‘‘] shall at any rate have an opportunity after- ward of playing the part of comforter and | adviser.” And ths reflection seemed to cause him a good deal of satisfaction, Jt will be seen, therefore, that the Colonel had been somewhat taken (to use the word which he employed in confessing it to himself), or smitten with Mrs. Verner on the one 9e- casion on which he had seen her, and during the few days that intervened between his return to town and the day on which they had appointed to have their second mecting future date with the mixed feelings which have been described above. The appointed day and hour found Colone: paper, but in reality waiting a little nerv- ously for Mrs. Verner. ly, said in rapid, anxious accents: | companions, she seemed, from their uproar- | usually good story. _ attention of Captain Jones, who had, in the | to have disazreed with youawfully.

For this she mildly upbraided him. reminding him of her re- quest, and the Colonel deprecated her wrath and pleaded sudden impulse. When the story was finished she rose, and, smiling sadly through her tears. said: “J don't know how I can sufficiently thank you for your kindness to me, Colonel Punter. You have indeed been a true friend, and I should like above all things, if you will allow-me, to ask your advice as to whatI had better do in this sad matter; but, indeed, I feel quite incapable of doing so on this occasion. Hearing that these terrible re- ports are true has, as you have seen, upset me very much, and I think I had better go home now; but if you will allow me to fixa future interview by note, when I feel less unequal to the effort, you will add one more to your many kindnesses.” The Colone} very readily consented, and in another moment she was guns, and with her, so it seeined to our gallant friend, all light and beauty departed from the room. From that moment, too, though he would hardly have confessed it to himself, he be gan looking forward to the day when he should sce that note upon his table. A fortnight had clapsed siace the inter view above detailed, but Coloncl Punter had not yet received the expected note. He had not given up hope. but still he was un- doubtedly depressed, and, whether it was ap effort to throw off this defection which had induced him to accompany his friend Cap- tain Jones to the Variety Theater, or whether impelled by fate, or for whatever reason, we Will not stop to inquire, but at any rate in that theater, and comfortably enscomed in two stalls, sat Colonel Punter and Captain Jones on this evening, some of the events of which are about to be related. The curtain had just fallen on the first act, and the house. till at that moment wrapped in gloom, sprang suddenly into light. Then, asif by common consent, every man, wom- an and child in that great audience,with a want of manners that would be permissible nowhere else, but which is quite conventional between the acts of a play, commenced, with or without opera glasses, to scrutinize his or her neighbor. For a few seconds the Colonel had a discussion with his friend as to whether there w..s time for a cigarette between the acts. This was promptly de- cided in the negative, and both officers, grasping their glasses, proceeded to join in the “general inspection.” With a calmness born of long habit, Colonel Punter was sweeping the house, when suddenly his arm dropped and his gaze be- came intently fixed on the occupants of a box on the right of the stage; these consisted of two gentlemon anda lady. and the lady was Mrs. Verner. Ona this point he had no doubt whatever, though he looked at her, with evrcr-increasing surprise, for she was in very full evening dress, and was exten- sively bejeweled. She was, moreover, at this moment talking and laughing loudly, not to say boisterously, with her compan- ions, bothof whom the Colonel mentally and umhesitatingiy pronounced to be cads. At this juncture Mrs. Verner, turing her head suddenly, caught sight of Colonel Punter staring at her from the stalls; the moment theireyes met he bowed, and she also bowed slightly and smiled; then, turning to her jous laughter, to be telling them a more than Captain Jones had ob- served the mutual recognition pass betwecn his friend and the lady in the box, and was greatly astonished. “Why. Colonel,’ he said, ‘do you know her? You don't mean to say that you have had to go to the Hubrews, like younger men?’ “Yes, I know her. But what on earth do you mean by asking whether I’ve been going to the Hebrews?!” “Well. I think it was a very natural ques- tion, under the circumstances.” “IT den’t know what you are talking about. Who do you think that lady is, then!” “J don’t think at all, Colonel. I know that she’s Mrs. Hart Moss. the female representa- tive of one of the biggest money-lending firms in town: and they tell me she’s a very good hand at the business.” Colonel Punter made no reply, but became plunged in a deep and apparently distressing yeric, for he clenched his fist and almost ground his teeth, unti) he attracted the meantime, becn nodding recognitions to some people of his acquaintance. “Why, Colonel,” said he. ‘what's the matter? The sight of that Mrs. Moss seoms did you mistake her for?” “It has disagrecd with me,” said the Colonel, grimly, “but I sce it all now. What you say, Jones, is quite truce; she isa very | good hand at her business... Then sud- denly his countenance brightened some- what, and he added: ‘Come and have something at the ckab after the play, and, if you will swear secrecy, I wil! tell you the whole story.” And he did tell Captain Jones every de- ‘tail, finishing the narrative with these | words: ‘So you see she made a regular catspaw of me. in order to find out if Vernor | Was worth powder and shot. I suppose, as his pevpte live abroad, she found difficulties in the ordinary methods of procedure,” | “Texpect that you’re about right, Colonel. By Jove! she’s aclever woman!” “J wonder she had the audacity, though,” said our gallant friend, hts anger boiling up again fora momont. “Why,I might make the whole matter public.”’ | “She knew you wouldn't, though.” ‘‘And she’s quite right,’’ said the Coloncl, | “for I won't.—Cornhill Magazine. ODS Of Small Consequence, [oA Chicago belle was riding in a Bos- ton horse car the other day when she suddenly stooped over and began searching for something she had evi- dently dropped in the straw at her feet. A half dozen of the polite young gen- tlemen, for whom Boston is proverbial, sprang to the pretty girl’s assistance. “Ah, have you lost something?” they asked in chorus, as six pair of hands began shaking up the straw. “dé is of no consequenee,”’ gaid the Chicago girl, smiling sweetly. ‘Don’t go toany trouble about it; Pve got a whole box more at home.

Whilst it does all this, they say at the same time itis*no tax at all. and that the tariff duty does not enter into the price of the articl» on whieh itis imposed! It is mere pretense of taxation, a kind of commercial fiction or man of straw, like John Doe and Richard Roe, and the confession of “lessee, entry and ouster” in the old ction of ejectment. by which the for- signer is ejected from our market and made to pay taxes ont of his own pock- et, whilst our own people obtain a judgment of tho court that they shall buy every thing cheap and sell everything dear! Afterso many grave political economists and alleged states- men have asserted these things in be- nalf of protection, whatright has any man to laugh at the claims of the most pretentious patent medicine ever advertised? T don't believe I ever saw one which professed that it could kill a man and restore him to life by swallow- ing for oneand rubbing outwardly for the other purpose. Yeta greater tuing than this is claimed for protection. lt reduces prices to the consumer, and aud it increases prices to the producer: it protects the manufacturer because the duty added to cost of the articleenables him to compete with the foreizner, but as the duty is not added to the cost of the home-made article the con- sumer pays nomore than he would if there was no duty at all, and in fact he gets the article cheaper. Let me illustrate: It costs in England twenty }cents to make a yard of flannel. where labor is cheap and wool is free. In America, where Jabor is higher and wool is taxed tft-ysixpercent., it costs thirty cents to mle a yard of the same dannel. The American manufacturer says he can’t compete, and the English- man is bound to undersell and drive him out of business. Thisis undoubt- edly true, for simple arithmetic proves it. Very well. A duty of fifty per cent. is then placed on the English- man’s flannel; this enables the Ameri- can to turn the tables on his rival and undersell him. How so? Simply be- cause the duty of ten cents a yard be- ing added to the foreign article makes it cost thirty cents also, whilst cost of transportation raisesit above the cost of the home article. So far nobody disputes the plain arithmetic of the case. But after the consumer has paid miny millivns of dollars—not for flannel, but to support the home manu- facturer in a losing contest, het last gts tired of being taxed for another nian’s pocket and proposes to remove some cf it; then the figures which we foreigners; and that, in the opinion of Seen" have known and trustel from child- hood begin to lie.. The consumer is told that he is altogether mistaken; that he is not taxed at all; that the duty is not added to the price of flanne! and ussnres him in proof,of it that he never bought flannels.so cheap before! Nay, sometimes, when his blood is up, he will go so far as to say that he mak- es flannels cheaper than the Engiish- mzn, and he can beat him at his own game any day! Now any man in his senses will say that there is a lie some- where in this statement. . There i+ bound to be. Either the manufacture: lies when he says the tariff duty. in whole or in part is not added to the price, or he lies when he siys he cai‘ compete without the duty; that is without something which is not-exis- tent! In my opinion both assertions are “destitute of due exactitude;” —-to use the language ofa Spanish diplomat. My observation has been thatin mat- ters touching the tariff and their protit: under it, the reputation of prote:t - manufacturers 1s much the same as that of Shacknasty Jim,of whom his eulogist wrote that his reverence for the truth was so great that he never uttered it or went near it, or interfer- ed w.thit in any way whatever. How can the tax protect home products un- less it increases the price? Howcan it increase the price unless it is added. in whole or in part, to the ecst? And if they can make goods as cheap as the foreigner, why can’t they compete with him, and whut is the necessity of re- taining the duty? When pushed to the wall on this point they say the duty keeps out the foreigner and giv- es them the entire home market. But what benefit to them is the home mar- ket unless they are making money by supplying it?) And if they do make money and still mike cheaper goods than the foreigner, the question then recurs with redoubled force: why keep up the duty? It is too plain for argu- uient, the price of domestic goods 7s enhanced bya duty on the foreign, ana enhanced at the expense of the con- sumer. Common sense and common honesty can make nothing else out of its That protection encourages our man- ufacturers is indoubtedly true. But it so happens that there are two sides to that proposition, as there are almost to ul others. Man himself is bilateral. and it seems to bea law of nature as Well, So alsoin moral world.

Do you confess that 2” “Well. Parson,” he replied, “f do in a general way; bat there's a heap to b+ said on the other side of that question if a body had time!’ No, there is very mach to be said on the other side of the propo- sition that a tariff enconrages our own manufacturers. When men deal with each other, if one makes money by the trade it must be at the expense of the other; if one gains, the other loses. It is trne that in exchanging one article for another not unfrequently both sides are benefited, bnt that is different from asale. If A is compelled by law te pay B ten cents a yard more than the normal price of flannel, Tean well see how Bis benefited to the amount o! ten cents, but T ean’t see for the life of me where A’s benefit comes in. — BNis undoubtedly “encouraged” to the ex- tent of ten cents; and it seems to me that A must just as sure'y be “disconr- aged” to the same extent —that is, al ways supposing that A has common sense. If he were a natural born ass he might, when the whole protection theory was explained to him, feel “tonstronsly hoped up” by the loss of his money. So the duty of two dollars per thousand is a great encouragement to men engaged in the cutting and sawing of Inmber, but to the same ex- tent it is a discouragement to the poor man who is about to build a house to shelter his wife and children. The same may be said of window-glass. crockery, iron and steel rails, woolen clothing and all the rest of it; if the tax laid on these things encourages the men who receive it und doesn t cor- respondingly discourage the inen who pay it, then it can only be so on the principle that it is more blessed to give than to receive; an excellent precept in morals, but of doubtful application. in political economy. | take it to be a self-evident propo- sition that where there is abnormal gain there must be a corresponding loss somewhere. If one man in a commu- n ty gets righ in such a way, the people around hin! are poorer by just that amount. If one section gets rich ip like manner, it must do so ordinarily, by absorbing that much of the wealth of other sections. | When trade is left f-ee it is not necessarily so. The nat- ural laws of political economy, which are a beautiful system of compensa- tions, checks and balances, tend to equalize the gains and losses of buman intercourse.

C., THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1888, es Failing to show how these thing: can be done by protection; how thetax: ean center into the question when need- ed to keep the foreigner out, and ob- ligingly disappear when the consimei is requir.d to pay, and then reappea: again in the treasury, like a “limbe: Jimmy” or a jumping Jack in a magic box; or how a duty levied to protect mannfacturers is not a tax imposed or one class to enrich-another; failing ut- terly to explain in detail these contra- dictory and impossible things, the ad- vocates of the theory fall back on gen-} eralities, trusting to the inability or indisposition of the commen mind to distinguish between cause and effect. With this aim they constantly present the public attention with a series of the most delightfal pictures of local prosperity. They will tell us that ina certain place there was a stream of water flowing idly to the sea, the coun- try was rude and poor, the inhabitants few, and in poverty and ignorance. One fine day a wandering capitalist comes along in search of an investment for his money. He sees this strean, tid inimediately perceives its power to turn machinery. He conceives the idea of making blankets, but he can’t make them as cheap as they are made abroad. He purchases the site and water power for 1 song, goes to Con- gress and gets a tax of 73 per cent. placed on all foreign blankets, builds his mills and goes to work. As if by magic the whole scene is changed. Stately buildings arise on the banks of that neglected stream, the lonely forest gives place to the workingman’s white cottages, the stony soil is converted into smiling gardens ‘and orchards. Idleness disappears and the factory bell calls busy men and women to profitable toil every day in the week, and church bells summon. to worship on Sunday. Hdueation, intelligence and comfort prevail with all the blessed incidents ef prosperity. ‘Vhis is enehanting, and in many cases itus true. Well, isn’t it a convincing argument for protection ? It is an argnment—-an overwhelming one—for the existence of manufactures. but not for protection. Where does it Wl come from? From the profits made by manufacturing those blankets. Where do those profits come from? From the daty on foreign blankets, which enables him to'puat nearly all the tax on Ars blankets. Who pays that tax? very man who buys a blanket. Every farmer in this broad land, every plow boy, wagoner ditcher, blacksmith —1a short, every man who sleeps under a blanket. high and low, rich and poor, the pampered lord of the mansion and the shivering widow in the cottage, all pay ataxover and above the actual eort of blankets to produce this scene of beauty and prosperity. It is a pros- pect of loveliness, tainted, for the thoughtful raan, by the fon] streaks of injusiiee and “robbery under the forms of law.” Tt has all heen paid for by pinching, discomfort and self-denial in every home in the land. — Practically. what difference is there between thiat tard? act and the giving of that man- nfacturer a bonaty on every blanket he mide equal to the difference between its cost and the cost of the foreign ones? = Prietically., is not that tariff law just the same thing, tf the amount collected under it could be exactly es- timated, asifit had read thus: “Be it enacted, &e., That one million dollars. ox so much thereof as may be necessa- ry.is hereby appropriated out of any monies in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to pay John Smith for operating a blanket factory at Fall River, Mass., for two years, from the 30th of June, 1S -—-, to the 30th of June, 18 -, and selling said blankets at the market price of the world?” In the one case the government would collect the tax from the people and pay it over to John Sinith; in the other the government authorizes John Smith to collect it for himself, and by the law keeps all ontsiders from interfering with him. The only preetical differ- ence I can see between them is in favor of the direct appropriation from the treasury. In the first place the amount is limited, whilst under the tariff Smith collects all he can without lnuit. In the next place, the people would know just what was done with their money, and could not be confus- ed and deceived as to the real object= of the taxation. Then if they saw fit to be bled to enrich private persons, they would suffer with their eves open. The next paper will deal with the pictures of general prosperity which, it is alleged, the tariff has produced. Z. B. VANCE. ’ - be Rescue, by 8t.. Bernard Dogs.

This second search was more tedious und led him farther away, but at last the barking of the dog announced a ci - covery. It was the Italian stranger who va: now saved and curried np t the h spice. A third time Grand and ais dog sallied out into the tempest. and after a quarter of an hour's search found the others near where the secord man had been discovered. They were quite buried under the the snow, -and almost insensible. He touk the most feeble on his shoulders, and with diffi culty conducted the others to the hos pice.

Being reminded of a somewhat similar courtship, the News tells this story briefly cs follows, The story is credited to an Arkan- sawyer residing in Clarke county. Calling upon his lady love his extreme bashfulness precluded all utterance sive from the heart. This state of affairs was mutal, so the two sitnply sat and looked and loved, all the while inching up closer together. Finally he broke the spell by the ejaculation: “S'pose we buss.” Shyly came the answer looking up: “Don't keer’f we do.” Thgy proceeded to “buss,” after which another long silence prevailed, while the chairs kept slowly gravitat- ns toward each other. Finally the spell was again broken, when be said: “S'pose we marry.” In thesime manner she responded: “Don't keer'f we do.” This ended the courtship, and the we «ang sucn followed. without Courtesy in Command.

We have several times heard the suggestion that he a large extent identified with the farm- ing part of the community. This no doubt results from the fact that much the larger part of the voters of the county are farmers, who naturally feel that their interest in public affairs would be more faithfully attended to in the State Council by one of their own calling, as being in more exact sympathy with themselves. It is a plausible, not to say rational, view of the subject; and if the farmers will bring out a man of suitable qualifica- tions who is willing to accept the hizh- ly responsible duties an election would impose upon him, we feel confident the voters of this town will join most heartily in his support. We have for several years been ably represented by Lee S. Overman, Esq., and without knowing his views and feelings on a re- election, we are free to say it is doubt- ful whether the county can send a man better equipped for the service than he. Nevertheless, if it be the will of the farmers to select a man of their own family, so to speak, we are sure it will not only not be resisted, but heartily sustained by their fellow citizens here. Perhaps our country friends would not object to a compromise, since it is a case in which a compromise would do violence to no great principle. _ If so, we would ask them to think of Mr. J. S McCubbins, Sr. We take the liberty of mentioning his name without con- sulting him; for we hold that if the people think him worthy of the trust, they have a right to confer it on him, uniess he can present very strong rea- sons why he cannot serve them. Mr. McCubbins has been a firmer for years, and a very good one at that; and al- though he has also, in the meantime, been engaged in other pursuits, there is no question as to the Jean of his sympathies. He is a practical business man of acknowedged merit, and las had some gxperience in legislation. In running over the list of prominent farm- ers in the county, we know of only two (T.J. Sumner & J. A. Hedrick )the eqdal of Mr. McCubbins, or who would come so near filling the requirement. Doubt- less there are some unknown to us, but if there are, they ure also unknown to a very large part of the voters of the county, who, as a rule would prefer to vote for men whom they have known and tried. We would in conclusion, remind our Democratic friends of the couaty, and especially the Committee men in each } township, that the time for primary meetings is at hand, and the people are expected to comurence holding them. Call nieetings and talk over the public affairs in which all are so much inter- ested. A comparson of views among those whose interests are identical, is apt to lead to harmonious and efficient action. , —_--~4> Robbing the Farmers. With malice prepence and afore- thought, every capitalist who goes in- to a trust, a combine or a plot to keep down prices by simply manufacturing such a quantity of goods as the de mand may make necessary, is a cons- pirator against the agricultural classes of the country, and will, soon or later, have such an ending as most conspi- rators generally deserve. Take for ex- ample, the Plow Trust. As soon as it was perfected ..the price of plows went up 100 per cent. This increase was mainly brought about by the Steel rust, of course, in perfect harmony with the Plow Trust. The combine includes all the great plow manufact- urers of the country, and it is safe to say that plows are at least 100 per cent. higher than they would be if the duties onthem and the steel manufactures who go with them were abolished. Now, who suffers, and suffers alone, this commingling of trusts? Who m- deed, but the farmers; He has to plow his land, stand the raise, pay the juggled advince, only made pussiblS rough the war tariff, and struggle along the best he can under the ‘additional lond.

What is tha lggisiative outlook, ftom a democratie standpoint? Was asked of a gentleman who isknown to stand very closeto Mr. Cleaveland. He replied as follows: Well, it is by no means as bad as it was a w ago. The dead lock cost us ten days of valu- able time, but there’s no use pasting time now in talking about that. It i: over, thank Heaven. The main question that Congress has to deal with this session is the tariff. The fight on that will begin tomorrow in the House when the Mills tariff bill is called up for consideration, and will continue until the bill is passed or defeated , though I don’t think the last is likely to occur. No other leg- islation, with the excepti.n of the regular appropriation bills, will be cosidered by the House until the taritf question is settled; and I understand that at the proper time the leaders of the party will call a House caucus, which will compel all democrats in the House to vote for the bill. All that will uf course take time, but the in- tention is, if possible, to bring the bill to vote before the date set for the meeting of the St. Louis convention. In my opinion, he continued, it 13 extremely doubtful whether this pro- gramme can be carried out; there is not time enpugt left. There will pro- bably be a hundred or more set speech- es delivered on the bill, some 73 or 80 members having already filed notice with the Speaker of their jntention to speak on the subject. From tomorrow to the meetting of the St. Louis con- vention there are just 42° days exclu- sive of Sundays. In all probability the speeches to be made on this bill will take up more time than that, to say nothing of the days that it will be absolutely neccessary to devote to con- sideration of the regular appropriation bills which must be passed before the 30th of June, or some of the wheels of goverment will become clogged. However, much time may be saved by holding an early caucus and = map- ping out the exact course to be follow- ed on the floor of the House, and once mapped out, the leaders should see that there is no going outside the lines by any member of the party. If a vote is reached on the final pass- age of the Mills bill before the Ist of July, [ shall be greatly surprised. Of the other legislation now before Congress: The River and Harbor bill will pass the Huuse surely and proba- bly the Senate; the Dependent Pen- sion bill is hardly likely to get through the House at this session; the Springer Omnibus bill for the admission of the Territories of Dakota, Montana, Wash- ington and New Mexico, will be passed by the House but not the Senate; the Blair Educational bill is not like y to be reported from the House committee. There now, I have giver) you my ideas of the democratic legislative prospect: you are welcome to them, but don,t use my name, not that I care, but some- body else might you know. Ex-Senator Wallace, of Pa. says the democrats of that State are unanimous for the renomination of Cleveland. The same news conies here from all sec- tions of the country. Chauncey Depew has a long head. He says he does'nt want the republican nomination. He did net give his rea- sons, but the presumption is that he did ‘nt want to bestruck by the Cleveland cyclone. A bill for the relief of solders who enlisted and served in the army or navy duying the rebellion under assumcd names has been favorably reported by the House committee on Military affairs. The Goverment Printing Office in- vestigation, which was suspended a short time ago on account of the illness of the Chairman of the House com- mittee on printing, has been resumed. Mr. Oates, the Ala. Representative who led the filibusterers in the recent fight against the direct-tax bill, is un- derstood to be ambitious of represent- ing his State in the Senate. ‘Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, is making quite areputation in the House as a quick witted and ready debater. He gave a tine example of his talent in that line on Saturday, which was much enjoyed by the members. His victim was Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, who had started to address the House, on the Indian appropriation bill buat who floundered around, mixing ap the tariff and the slave trade and mistaking the constitution of the Confederate States for the platform of the democratic party. r. Allen stood this as long us he could and then proceeded to wnake the disconnected gentleman from Kansas a laughing stock. He said Mr. Perkins reminded him of the story of two men who when traveling, slept in a room with a cupboard in it. Dur- tbe night ome usked the other to mak out of the window and see what wdofa day it was going to be. Phe Jatter opened the glass door of the eupboard and exclaimed. It is dark as hell and smells like cheese. Instead of getting his head out into the day- light of 1888, the gentleman from Kansas had got his head into the cup- board of rebellion, where every thing wasdark and smelled like slavery, Mr. Allea invited him to discuss the live is sue presented by the democratic par- ty into the open sunshine of to-day.

The Republicans are very anxions to admit Dakota into the Union as aState,; which would give to their party two Senators and a representative in Con- gress. But they are opposed to the ad- mission of New Mexico, Montana and Washington Territories, because they are probabl 7 Democratic in politics.

Many of our readers perhaps are not ‘aware of the extensive operations now being carried on by this company in the way of brick making to supply the heavy demand for bricks which gur town re- quires and will require this season. We visited this company’s yard a few days ago, and were shown around by the Su- perintendent, Mr. A. W. Osborne, and this is what we learned: This Company’s works are equipped with a 40 horse power boiler, a 30 horse power engine, anda Ford & Son brick machine of a capacity only limited by the speed of the engine. Twenty men are employed in furnishing clay to the machine, feeding it and carting off and hacking up the green bricks, With this force they are making from 25,000 to 30,- 009 brick a day. Water for all purposes is brought from the creek about 100 yards off by means ofaninjector. Mr. Osborne, who is a practical brick maker and thor- joughly understanas the business, pro- ‘nounces the clay first class, which means jexee lent brick.

The places for conventions in Rowan are Thyatira and Unity; in Gabarrus, Rocky river and Poplar Tent; in Iredell, Con- cord, Mooresville and Bethany. It is hoped that an impetus my be given to the cause of classical and Christian education, now very much needed. The Presbytery agreed, with consjderable re- luctance, to such alterations of the Book of Church Order, as would put it into harmony with the new doctrine that a Ruling Elder should be eligible to tha Moderatorship of ec- clesiastical assemblies. The vote was a tie, and the decision was made by the Moderator. the amendment requiring that two-thirds of all our Presbyteries should be required to vote in favor, before Organic Union with any ecclesi- astical body should be consummated.

Since the year 1866, it has been mined in many places and has been obtained in large plates, at times over three feet in diameter, generally of a brownish. color, in masses or large crystals, associated with grey, smoky, or yellowish brown quartz, orthoclase, albite, &c., in numer- ous localities in Macon, Jackson, Hay- wood, Buncombe, Ashe, McDowell, Mitchell, Yancey, Alexander, Cleveland and other counties. 85. LABRADORITE. A white, and in some portions color- less, very lustrous cleavable variety with very few triclinic, strize, occurs in Clay county. It has a spec. gray. of 2.62, and has been found in grey granular cleav- able masses, but only at a few localities. In Yancey county it is associated with mica, garnet, etc., as one of the constit- uents of a stratified rock; it occurs in a trap near the Tuckasegee foard, on the round to Charlotte, in Mecklenburg county, also in Granville county, in large crystals in the heavy trap on ‘lve river in Mitchell county. The latter lo- cality furnishes specimens which show slightly the play of bluish colors, It is one of the constituents of the crypto- crystalline trap-rock found throughout the State. 86. ANDESITE. In snow white and bluish white cleav- able masses, showing fine strise upon the cleavage planes, associated with black hornblende or arfvedsonite at the Cut- lakenee mine, Clay county; and from the same locality as very fine grained white feldspar associated with zoisite and mar- garite, and like the latter, resulting from the alteration of corundum, 87. OLIGOCLASE. and the Franklin people entertained Presbytery with generous not to say, lavish hospitality. Each day the whole crowd ate at what the Pas- tors styled a “common” table, but which was unanimously voted to be a rather uncommonly superior feast of fat things, rich things, and delicate things, ranging from beef, pork and sausage. to pies, preserves and pickles. Frank- lin lies in the center of one of the most enter- prizing communities in Rowan county. Not only did we find weil ordered farms for corn ;and cotton, but extensive orchards, vineyards. gariens, with agriculturat machinery, wind- | mills, choice live stock, and other evidences of thrift and progress. The Presbytery dissolved the pastoral rela- tion between Rev. Mr. Boyd and the churches of Franklin and Unity, and now that people need another pastor at once. Though ministers are scarce, yet by timely, diligent and gener- ous effort. they can soon be supplied. May they get as good a pastor as their former one. PRESBYTER. “= eath of a Distinguished Divine. STATESVILLE, N. C., April 16,—Rev. Dr. E. F. Rockwell! died at-% o’c'ock this morning of pneumonia. He was a native of Connecticut and a classinate of Chief Justice Smith and the late Chief Justice Waite at Yale. He has been Professor of Latin at Davidson College; also was president of Concord Female College at Statesville; since then he has fiilled the pulpit. He was noted for his great learning. ae Cost of the Burlinton Strikes. CuicaGo, April 13.—A local paper in its calculation of the cost of tae great railroad strike which began on the Bur- lington road just forty-five days ago, makes the following recapitulation of the losses sustained to date by the Engineer’s and Fireman’s Brotherhoods and striking switchmen: Loss of wages ou Q roads, $306,200 pay roll of Brother- hood, $159,456; Grievance Committee’s loss of wages, $30,870; Grievance Com- mittee’s expense account, $22,050: non- union men subsidized, $20,000; expense ot headquarters, $5,375; Santa Fe and other strikes, $24,700; cost of switchmen’s strike, $25.000; miscellaneous, $10,000. Total $601,580. } Of the cost of the Burlington Company the following estimates are made: Loss | in Traffic receipts, $1,800,000; special | police protection, $180,000: cost of engag- ing new men, $50,000: damage to proper- ty $50,000; miscellaneous, $20,000—total $2,100,000. ‘These are all direct losses affecting one or the other of the contest- ants in the great strike. There are in- direct. losses to the Commercial commun- ity scattered throughout the whole of the “Q” system in several States. Besides these the article says: Hun dreds of minor employes have been thrown out of the work, and the indi rect losses already affect a great number of humble households. na A fine grained greyish white feldspar, / through which minute particles of b:ack j tourmaline are disseminated, occurs in considerable quantities at Culsagee, i Macon county, 88. ALBITE. It is found in large cleavable masses of a white color in Mitchell county, show- | ing upon cleavage planes more or less dis- tinct striation, ‘There are probably many of the white and grevish or brownish white striated feldspars from mica mines, which belong to this species or to oligo- clase, which can only be distinguished by analysis. Small white granular cleav- able, also compact masses have been found in Montgomery county, associated with prochlorite, pyrite, sphalerite, &c. 89. ORTHOCLASE. This is one of the most widely distrib- uted minerals in the State, forming an essential constituent of all the granite, gneiss, etc. It is found in beautiful crys- tals in a band of porphyritic granite, pear Salisbury, Rowan county, and in Gaston and Richmond, also in the “Chesterlite”’ form at Silver Hill, associated with pyro- morphite and quartz, <A peculiar vari- ety, With satin lustre upon the cleavage planes, occurs in Clay county, near Cul- Jukenee. Large lamellar masses occur in Yancey, Mitchell, Caldwell, Macon and Madison. The Burnett Mica Mine, Buncombe county, furnished the Museum with a crystal weighing 800 pounds. The peculiar compact variety of orthoclase which is called “leopardite,” is found near Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, and also in Gaston county. 90. TOURMALINE, The tourmalines, found in many local- ities in North Carolina, are mostly the ‘black varieties. It has no commercial value, unless transparent and suitable for gem purposes, which is not the case with varieties found in this State. Some fine black crystals are preserved in cabinets. 91. FIBROLITE. A reddish white, finely fibrous mineral, with silky Justre, from Macon county, probably belongs to this species. A very interesting occurrence of fibro- lite has lately been discovered in Burke county, where it is the result of altera- tion of corundum and envelopes a core of the original mineral. 92. CYANITE. This is one of the characteristic acces- sories in many of the mica and horn- blende schists of Macon, Haywood, Tran- sylvania, Yancey, Mitchell, Caldwell, Catawba, Gaston and other counties, and is generally of a greyish white or grey color, and in imperfect crystals. 93. TOPAZ. Topaz is reported as occurring at Crow- der’s mountain, but it is very doubiful ; crystals from there, which were consid- County Democratic Convention. | The Democratic Convention for the county of Rowan will be held on the 19th day of May, (third Saturday of May), at the Court House in Salisbury.

General Clingman mentions « very handsome crystal of this rare mineral from the gold mine of the late Morril Mills, in the eastern part of Polk county. . 95, TITANITE. The same gentleman mentions titanite, or sphene, as occurring in Buncombe county. I have observed it at Morgan- ton Springs; Burke county, in minute brown crystals, in hornblende slate and in granite in Gaston, and near Danbury in Stokes, and in Yancey county. 96. STAUROLITE. Very large, brownish red crystals, from two and a half to three inches in length, and one to one and a half inches wide, single individuals as well as twigs, occur in Uberokee county. , This concludes the list of Anhydrous tates.

Barglaries Planned With Astonishing Care and Circumspection. A few weeks. ago the residence of a Mr. Greenfel, at Taplow Court, En- gland, was entered and jewelry, prin- cipally bridal presents, valued at $25, - 0m carried off. Lhe time was the servants’ supper hour, There was no one in the sceond story of the mansion, The burglars entéred, took the prop- erty, and departed without making any : | noise or lenving the smatlest article by . influence, and, as Jack says, the desire for | oa : 5 which any lew could be obtained. There was not the slightest suspicion against any of the servants or any one in. the neighborhood. — No strangers had been secn about the place for months. Still # was evident that the burglars knew every thing about the house, from to bottom. tor faking meals and the location of | articles about the place. They must have known exac‘ly where the jewelry was kept. They had planned their ex- pedition with as greateare as ever a great military commander did a cam. | aien. They had: arranged for their om v = }advance, and for their retreat, if one | Was found necessary. They — had fastened every door and window in the lower story. They had stretched fine copper wires under the grass -all: over the Jawn, so that -persons would be tripped upif they tried to overtake thent. It seemed likely that the rob- bery was planned shortly after a fash- jonable marriage occurred and the London and provincial papers pub- lished accounts of the cestiy bridal presents. Evidently weeks hat been The history of crime, like that of A London paper, from which this in- formation obtained, states that a similar burglary oceursin Great Britain every year. The house robbed is always at some distance from a large town, so that the inmates eutertain no fear of robbers. The occupants of the house are always wealthy and generally .un- suspicious people. ‘The articles stolen are rarely if ever found. They are not _ lisposed of at pawnshops or to com- mon dealers. They are not offered for gale in country towns. ‘They cannot be found in any of the cities on the conti- nent. Jewelers who made the articles ean always recognize them. | It seoms likely that the persons en- i gaged in these robberies are possessed of means sufficient to enable them to live for years. Jt is also likely that they keep the articles they steal Ul} the _ persons who would be able to recognize them die or lose their-reeoHection of is them. It is prestimed that many of the articles stolen are sent to America or India. It seems probable that there is an international arrangement for dis- posing of these goods.

[Written for the Blatimore Sun.]} One of the very earliest truisms of political economy which the study of science established wes that the main source of the wealth of nations is com- merce with foreign peoples. It is not necessary here to repeat the familiar vgiuments of Adam Santh, John Stuart Mall and other great authors; no fact in science is better established than ghiv, that nations get rich by push- ing to the utmost theg@roduction of the Giings in the makiug of which they oyveet. and exchanging them for those produces ta the making of which other -ouutries excel. It is simply the prin- ciple of the division of Libor by which a village community thrives carried ‘to Operation in the larger business of world. In faet, all the great laws of thescience have their source im the humble deidings of the hamlet. The laws which are evolved there in’ the petty transactions between man and man are the same in principle as those waich eoutrol all other business, great orsmall, in which the s:me haman nature is enlisted. Bearing this in mind, let us look further into the pretensions of protec- tionists that our tarff taxation is the eause of national wealth, and that it must be kept up if our wealth is to in- crease. It must always be remember- ed that money is not wealth, but only the medium by which wealth tsexchang- ed. Real wealth consists in the posses- sion of objects of utility or pleasure. Now it is desirable that as far as it is possible to do so with profit, a country should supply its own wants. Hence most good writers on political economy admit it is to the advantage of countries in their infancy to encourage domestic manufactures by extraordinary means. The first necessity of such a country, struggling to establish itself among the nations, is to secure a home supply of the things necessary ty its existence of which it might be deprived by war in case it were dependent on foreizuers. But that period soon passes, and then comes the questio. of a surplus of pro- ducts. So lung as our country is pro- ducing only its own supplies, of course its wealth is increwing day by day; and if we made all that we required and could make no more, we could attain to national wealth by dealing we could attain to all the wealth But sible in such a state of things. j human industry canot stop without de- ~. requiled by its folly. with each other only—that is to say, | —— cay and rain, After it has ree our own country, one or two things must take place; either a foreign inar- _ket must be found for our surplus prod- nets or we must cease tu make any. If we make more than we want and can't sell it, this lessens the value of what we have, and our aggreg tte wealth is not increasing a particle; if we stop production at the point of home sup- ply, then all the labor and capital of the country beyond that limit is un- employed, and again our wealth ceases to grow. Conimon sense points ont that we must have a market for our surplus, and high tariffs tend unmis- takable to prevent this. They are in- tended tu prevent it, for as all foreign conimerce is simply exchange, nations will not buy from as unless they pa us with their products. With a tariff wall around our gountry they cannot trade with us. The wickedness of this policy is only There i3 no <Ountry upon earth prepared to become so rich by foreign trade as these United States, because there is none so abun- dantly supplied with all the material and all the conditions of production— absolutely none. There is not labor enough in our sixty million of people to dig up all of our coal and tron ore in a thousand years; our forests, though rapidly decreasing by lavish waste and the tariff premium we offer for their destruction, are still most abundant. We have a practical monopoly of cot- ton, a staple whith clothes two-thirds of mankind, whilst in all food products our vast and fertile plants are the gran- ary as well as the wonder of the world. In addition to all these advantages which are the gift of nature, our -pop- ulation, under thestimulus of free in- stitution, has developed more indus- trial energy and more inventive genius than any other people upon earth. Their labor saving inventions for an epoch in the history of our race, and hive multiplied the productions of hu- man labor beyond the dreams of the poet. The statistics show, and candid cnen everywhere admit, that the best- trained labor to be found in Christen- dom cain >t equal our workmen, mezsur- ed by the amount and qnanity of their work. And yet, in the face of all this, and whilst the sound of our boasting of it is still heard, we declare in the next breath that we are unable to com- pete with our inferiors, shat out their products by prohibitory tariffs, deny ourselves the riches and the political friendships which are the fruits of for- eign commerce, and con lemn this uizhty repository of unborn wealth and haman energy to the narrow hu, its of the home market! With the ore and the coal under his feet, the Penu- sylvania iron master declares he can- not make a ton of pig iron without a tax of seventy-five per cent. on the product of his nearest rival, who is from three to four thousand miles away beyoud the sea. So it is with the cot- ton spinner, the woolen ve.ver, the potter and all the rest. Offer to re- duce the duty, even slightly, on any one of hi8 products, and he will cry “Murder” loud enough to wake a sleep- ing city, and declare that the slightest reduction will destroy him instantly and forever. If he would consent to die alone it would not be so alarming —we might attend one funeral—but he is equally positive that the country at barge will perish with him. He wants no foreign trade of course. Th home market is good enough for Aim. ‘There the competition of the foreigne: is forbid len by law, the competition of his neighbors, when it gets troublesome. is regulated by a ring or trust which stops production and keeps up prices as dividends may demand, and there ts nove to molest him or make him afraid. W en by chance he misealeulates and finds himself poss-ssed of more goods than ae can sell at home, he ships them tion with the foreign paupers. suffers any loss he makes it up out of buy anywhere else, and he goes on prospering and to prosper. way we have failed to secure the trade of foreign nations. It is all done at the instance and for the benefit of the protected cl.sses. By it they control the home market; if prices tend down- ward they buoy them up by combina- tiuns; if the supply is getting too large they shut down their mills and turn their operatives into the streets. Hav- ing control of the engine, they move forward, backward or stand still as suits their pockets. Meanwhile con- sumers ure at their mercy, and the farmers worst of all. Their market prices are fixed abroad by the compe- tition of the whole world; their pur- chases are made in the restricted home market. If they want woolen cloth they send their wheat to Liverpool and sell it for, say one dollar per bushel; there the cloth they need could be bouzht ut twenty-five cents a yard— one bushel of wheat prying for four yards. But a tanff of seventy-five per cent. prevents them from doing that; a> they bring the dollar back, and from a Massachusetts man they buy w.th it two yards of the same cloth. ‘The farmer has lost two yards of cloth, and the public wealth is that much less. The manufacturer has made that much, not by fair aud voluntary exchange, but an nojust and unconstitutional law. Not all the sophistry of all the talent which il!-gotten wealth can hire to per- vert human reason can make anything else out of such a tramsactioa. The a ee eee 4 abroad aid markets them in campeti- Tt he his own people, who are not allowed to In this i jaaner cannot at will shut down his | Operations and discharge his laborers— his productions are perishable and will not keep over indefinitely; therefore he is obliged to sell his surplus at any rice he can get or loose it altogether. ‘berefore it 1s that” year after year seven-eighths of the exports of this country are agricultural products. The farmer supports the manufkcturers, maintains our foreign trade and ex- change-, and does his full share in bearing the public expenditures beside; and all this fe dues with the most nec- essary conditions of political economy reversed 11 their application to him— being forced fo sell in the cheapest market and to buy in thedearest.- Small as our foreign trade is, there would be tmniversal distréss and finan- cial ruin without it. It furnishes the| exchange which pays for whatever we aré obliged td buy abroad, keeps our precious metals at home, and main- tains the credit of our country. It could be made double its present vol- ume in a brief time if we would only legislate a little in the interest of the whole country and not in that of a class. We have twice the population of Great Br-tian, ten time; the material resources and thirty times the territory, yet she has double the foreign frade that we have. Ours has been protect- ed to death. It has been fitted with a Chinese shoe, and can only grow by distortion. In the same way our merchant marine has perished. We undertook to protect it; we not only imposed heavy duties on the material of which ships are built, but we excluded for- eign ships from all internal and coast- wise trade, and tried to exclude it from the open sea also by refusing registra- tion and the American flag to any ship in whole or in part made abroad. But there we failed. We could bind the land and make factory men rich-by excluding competition; we could con- trol our inland waters and our coasts and enrich our domestic vessel owners; Lut the great, free seas refuse to be bound. They refused to obey any laws except such as God has imposed upon the intercourse of nations. As our people could not build and operate ships as other nations owing to high tariffs, and as they could not buy them from others without forfeiting their rights as American citizens, our once magnifi- e-nt mer hant marine lay down quiet- ly todie. It was not even permitted to die in peace. Its last hours are dis- tarbed by the clamor of the “quacks who brought it low. In their anxiety to divert attention from their malprac- e| tice, they loudly accuse their adversa- ries of the authorship of the calamity. hey say tha: but for them thegovern- ment would have given the ship ow.ers two dollars f.o n the treasury for every one they lost through tariff and navi- gation laws, and they “had not died!” Two doctors attended a sick man’s bed- side; one bids the other stand back, and assume entire control of the case. "1 will bleed him and give him calomel,” he says. “It will kill him if you do,” says the other. “I know what T am doing,” says the one in eontrol: “1 will treat him on the home system. want nothing to do with the theories of your Kuropean doctors,” So he bleeds and purges whilst the patient vradnally sinks, and as his gasping breath changes into the death-rattle the velf-contident doctor turns with indignation to the other, whose advice he had scorned, and upbraids him: “You wretched murderer! When you saw this man sinking why_ didn’t you give him brandy to sustain him under my treatment? If you had done your duty he would not have died from the loss of blood!” Well, 1 suppose that is true. If the government had made good their losses und supported them from the treasury, no doubt they would be alive and flourishing. And what of the people who pay these taxes for private purposes? Oh! it doesn’t matter about them! If manufacturers are supported by taxation, indirect and sneaking, why not support the ship- owner openly and boldly by bounties? [f the first is right, there is indeed, no reason for refusing the latter. Z. B. VANCE. —_—- -a— Criminals on Honor.

Of these States North Carolina expends less megney for schools PER CAPITI on her whole population than any othera_except South Carolina and Georgia, and ea about one-half as much as Arkansas. The column of ‘‘expenditures per capita of total population affords a very fair comparative view of what we are doingin public school matters, and in the com- parison we are put in no favorable light. When we consider carefully the column of ‘Total assessed value of property” and calculate the rate of taxation necess- ary to raise the total amounts expended ia the different States we find our rate would be less than that of any of the States named except South Carolina and Georgia. If all the expenditures were raised from TAX ON PROPERTY the rate would ve 39 cents on $100 in Maryland; 38 cents in North Caronina; 28 cents in South Carolina; 46 in Teunessee; 43 cents in Virginia; 21 cents in Ceo-gia; 44 cents in Alabama; 60 cents in ee 6 in Arkansas; 65 cents in West Virginia; 4% cents in Florida; and 59 cents in Mis- souri. If it be said that some of these States have permanent State funds the interest of which goes to the support of the schools, it will be found upen examina- tion that this is renlly a very small item comparatively, and@&hat ANNUAL TAXA- TION in all these-8tates, as well asin all. the Norihern States is mainly relied upon to support the schools. I have not selected a year that would make the worst showing for the State. Looking back about four years I find that much the same proportions existed and that the year I have selected shows us in as favorable a light as any other. According to the assessed valuation of our property we are far from doing as much for public education as most of our sister Southern States. This is apparent not ouly from the proportionglly smaller amount of money expended, but by the -hort annual school terms, Virginia hav- ing 118 days, Alabama &9 days isatasip- pi 78 days, Temnessee 80 days, Arkansas 102 days, while we have only 60 days. These figures seem to show not only that we are far behind but also that we are able to do better. S The total expenditure in the States above named was $17.833,185. $111.304,927. 8S. M.

Washiagton Ze Wasnyxeton, di ril 23, 1888 > . % : oe a : # Cap lait a st the presént meth- ods’ 6 plait biisifiess x the United States Patent Office are becoming loud and frequent. It is charged that the examiners in the office are extremely éardless, some siy.criminal, in their ex-. that they throw out many application. without properly examiningthem t- not; that other applications are reject- ed which the examiner knows should be allowed. These are serious charges against an important. branch of the Government. I have thoroughity: investigated the matter in order to discover what, if any, foundation there is for the charg- es und who is to blamé. - I soon dis- covered that the charges were all too true, or rather that many of them |were. I also discavered that the par- ties who were responsible for this, | might say disgraceful state of affairs, were the republican examiners who have been allowed to continue in office under the present Administration. And that is not all. I am firmly con- vinced that these hold-over republi--examiantion of the affairs of the State cin examiners have conspired together {National Bank, the Comptroler of the to bring the office into bad repute, in the Presidential campaign this year. In order to get some idea of the political’ effect “of such a conspiracy among these republican examiners, just think for a moment of the great num- ber of people who are either directly or ‘indirectly interested in-the business of this office. Suppose you notice for one day, everything you sce, and you will find how many of them are pat- ented or are the product of a patented machine or process. You will be sur- prised, for you will discover that about nine-tenths of all the the things either manufactured ore produced in this country are connected in some way with a United States patent. After this discovery you will not be surprisel to learn that this Govern- ment issues more patents every year than all the rest of the world combin- ed. Now you can more readily under- stand the amount of damage that can be done the Administration by the conspirators. | Every man whose pat- ent is dis lowed without a good and sufficient reason therefore, becomes a deadly enemy, not of the examiner but of the democratic Administration, which he believes has mistreated him, and his idea of getting even is, nine times out of ten. to work lke blazes for the repablican party. This fellow is not alone, there are, so to speak, thousands of him, and the republican examiners of the Patent Office ure to blame for all his troubles. In no branch of the Government is the head of the Department so depend- ent on his snbordinates as in the Pat- ent Office. In 1885 President Cieve- land. appointed Mr. Montgomery, a Commissioner of Patents. At the time that was consid- ered an excellent appoinment. Bunt owing to luck of familiarity on tife part of Mr. Montgomery with the ex- tremely complicated practice of the office, his republican subordinates vir- tually ran it for him. The natural re- The object}sult was neglect and idleness on the part of the employes and complaints on the part of the representatives of the patentees of the country. J am informed by a gentleman who isin a position to know whereof he speaks that there are quite a number of ex-examiners of the Patent Ottice now engaged in business here as pat- ent attorneys, whose sole capital with which to begin business were long lists of the names and addresses of appli- cants for patents whose applications they had unjustly rejected for the sole purpose of afterwards getting a fee as attorney for procuring the pitent they had as an examiner of the oe States Patent Office rejected. These men are republicans. In order to break up this practice, bills have been introduced in Ganpres several times to make’ Examiners of the Patent Office “inelligible to art as patent attorneys for two years from the date of their resignations or dis- missals from office. So far interested parties have in some way been able to prevent such bills from becoming laws. Last year Mr. Montgomery was suc- ceeded by ex-Representative Hail, of lina may, in the future, be justly Howa, as Commissioner of Patents. Mr. Hall is an able and honest ‘man, but lke his predecessor, he too was un- familiar with the workings of the Office, and the republican exaniiners sueceeded-in- getting him to make a series of rulings which have produced much trouble and litigation. In the mean time the republican examiners are enjoying the situation and working hard for the success of their party next fall. When Mr. Vilas, with his vigorous business methods, succeeded Mr. Lamar as Secretary of the Interior, he at once noticed the loose way of doing business that was in vogue there, and issued an order prohibiting employes. gossiping, smoking, writing private letters, etc., during office hours. This order creat- ed a big seare among the republican M) examiners nd outwardly there was a sudden transformation in the office, but in reality they are devoting more of their time trying to bring discredit on Mr. Cleveland’s administration, than the work for which they ure paid. Republican tooters and so-called Democratic papers advocating High Protection, propbesied great evil re- sults to the Democracy if they ‘““monk- eyed with the Tariff.” But 65,000 or more majority for the Democracy in Louisiana in the solitary State in which the people are really favored by the War Tariff shows that the Louisia- Page at have had enough of Re- ‘publican methods und principles and domination.

She crowded the children together, protecting their faces from the storm as pest she could, in order that they might rest, and recover their spent breath; she gently rubbed and talked to Bubbie, until he revived a little; then getting them all in front of her, the smallest in the center, she made them start again.

THS P>RORATION Of Representative Mills Great Speech AS PUBLISHED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Now another thing. I wantto show ‘that the tamff is not for the benefit of the workingm in. We will have many appeals mide to us for sympathy en acount of the workinyman. I hive taken from the first annual re- port of the Commissioner of Libor and the report of the census on Wises s0.ne fiznres given by manutacturers of the total cost of the proiuct and the labor cast of the artigles they are making. Lhave pat the tar ff duty by the side of them to show whether in the little re luctions we are asking in this bill we have gone beyond that pledge we as a party have made that we should not reduce the tax ition so low as to injure our liborers, or as’ not to cover the difference in cost of labor between American and foreign products, This will show, and Loask your. at- tention to it. that the tariff is not in- tended to and does not benetit Libor. It will show that the benefit of the tariff never pisses beyond the pocket of the minufacturer, and to the pock- et of his workman. I tind in this repor o > pound blankets. «The whole cost as stated by the manufacturer is 82 51. The labor cost he puid for them is 35 eonts. The present tariff is $1.99. and above the entire labor cost of these blankets. Why did not that manu- facturer go and give that money to the laborer? He isable to doit. Here is pair of blankets for the benefit of his laborer, bat notwithstanding that the tariff was imposed for the benefit. of American labor and to. preserve high wages,every dollar gf that tariff went into the manufacturer's pocket. The poor fellow who made the blanket go! 35 cents and the manufaetus. rkopt the $1.90. Mr. Crain. Will) the gentleman please state how much the committee has reduced that duty? * Mr. Mills. To $1.00 from 81.99. Take another pair of 5-pound blan- kets. The total cost is $2.70. The labor cost is 7O cents. The tariff is $1.08, Now, how strange it is that none of these snms that were inte . | for the laborer ever got beyond *! pocket of the manufacturer.® Why is it, when the American Congress enact- ed this legislation for the benefit of our labor, that every dollar of this aid intended for labor stops in the pockets of the manufacturer, who goes into the hig ways and aedges and hires his laborer at the lowest price for which he can get. him in the murketand then pockets the turiff benefits that we are told every diy isinteaded for the la- borer-aleone—for the benefit: of |ubor? Here is anotber pair of 5-po ind blaine kets. The cost is 8339. The labor cost paid by th s manufacturer, he says himself, is 61 cents. The tariff is $2.- d9."ln the penditz bill we have left bim all 81.35. und) we have left the other man $108. And we have left along notonlyenough to co-er the difference hetweeu the labor cost of prodactioa in Europe and the labor cost of produc- tion in this country, but we have enough left to pay for all the labor and a bonus besides. Let us go on a little further. Here is one yard of flannel, weighing fonr ounces; it cost 18 cents, of which the laborer yot 3 cents; the tariff on it is Scents. How is it that the whole 8 cents did nat get into the pockets of the laborer? Is it not strange that those who rftade the tariff and faaten- ed upon the peope these war rates in atime of yr f.a:d pexcs, and who are now constantly assailing the Dem» cratic party becanse it is untrue to the workingman. did-not make vision by which the generous bounty | they gave shonid reach the pocket of S : ee oye F : | Now, here is $1.85 in this tariff over a tanff that gives him $1.9) on that. some pro- | SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1868, — him for whom they sud it was intend- ed? They charge that we are trving to strike down the labor of the conntry. Why do they not see that the money they are taking out of the hard earn- ings of the peuple is delivered in’ good faith to the workman? One yard of cas8imere weighing 16 ounces costs $f.88; the labor cost is 29 cents; the tariff duty is 80 cents. One pound of sewing silk cost $5.66; the cost for labor i3 85° cents: the tariff is $1.69. ' Oue gatlen of linseed oil costs 46 cents; | the labor cost is 2 cents; the tariff cost is 25 cents. One ton of bar iron costs $31; the labor cost is $10; the tariff fixes several rates for bar iron. | give the lowest rate, $18.92. One ton of foundry pig iron costs $11; the la- bor costs $1.64; the tariff is $6.72. None of these tariff rates go to the laborer. The road is blocked up. Théy can not pass the pocket of the manufacturer. The “great American system” that is intended to secure high wages for our laborers is so Sperverted that all its beneficienee intended for the ocr workman stops in the pocket of fie employer, and the laborer only gets what he can command in the epen mirket for his work. Let us take Bessemer steel rails. We are told that the steel rail industry is in great danger of utterly perishing away and departing trom this conti- nent, because we propose to reduce the duty from $17 to $11. The whole cost is put down at $31, the labor cost at $7.57; the tariff is $17. The manufacturer has $9.43 more for each ton than all the dabor cost. The labor cost of this ton is exceptionally high. I havea statement of the labor cost of a ton of steel rails at Bethle- hem, Pa. taken recently by Mr. Sehoenof, and it shows labor cost there $3.85 per ton. The labor cost of a ton of steel rails in England is not one dollar cheaper than here. Mr. Schoe- nof informs me that a ton of bar iron costs. for labor. ‘n England about $7.75, and here about $3. But let us leave these and proceed with the offieial fig- ures. A keg of steel nails costs $2 34; the labor cost is 67 cents, the tariff is $1.25. A ton of pipe iron costs $3 f.- d7: labor cost $12.25, the tanff $22 40. ‘ Heve is a car wheel weighing 590 pounds; cost $13; labor cost 85 cents: tariff rate is 2.12 cents per pound, Pequivilant to $12.50, to covera labor cost }of 8) cents! ELanghter.| Why, Mr. Chairnan, these laborers of onrs oucht to get immensely rich if they could get all that Congress votes to them, if the manufacturers did uot stop the bonn- ties intended by the Government to reach the pockets of the workinginin, 18 such as our working people Weir in their daily toilin the shop and field, The whole cost is $12. The labor cost $2. The tariff daty is £9 cent per pound and 85 per cent. ad valorem. As the weight of the suit is not given. we can no& cet the exiet tariff bat the duty on woolen clothes imported last year averaged 54 per cent. and at that rate the tariff stands 86.S4 to cover $2 of labor cost. A cotton suit costs $10.50; the labor cost is $1.85; the taritf is $3 A 18 33.67. dozen goblets cost 48 cents: labor cost. 15 cents; tariff 19 cents. by the hundred weight, $9.50; labor cost, 59 cents; tariff, $3. A hundred weight ef mixed paints, $8; labor cost {1 centg; tariff $2. Now, Mr. Chairman, [ have gone throagh with a uamber of articles by the manufacturers themselvessand | have shown that the tarif was net framed for the benefit of the laborer ‘or that aif it was so intended Ly those Pwho framed it, the benefit never reach- es the laborer, not a dollar of it. The working people are hired an the mar- ket at the lowest rates at which their services can be had and all the “boodie™ that has been granted by these tariff biils goes into the pockets of the man- ufacturers. It) builds up palaces; it concentrates wealth; it makes great and powerfal magnates; bag it dis- tributes none of its beneficience in the hormes of our laboring poor. It brings the tax gatherer to them: it weighs them down it compels them to pay out a large live of their daily earnings for the uecessa- ries of lifes and the money it raises by high prices on domestic manufactures it transfers not into the coffers of the government, but into the coffers oO. private individuals. Tt is making a wide distinction in this country b - tween two classes—one numerous, but poor; one small but powerful and rich. It is a potiev that is at way with the institutions of this country.

Professor Brown-Sequard has recent- ly been making experimeuts to deter- mine whethef the human breath was capable of producing any poisonous effects. From the condensed watery vapor of the expired air he obtained a »~osonous Liquid, which, when injected under the skin of rabbits, produced al- most immediate death. Heascertained that this poison was an alkaloid, and not a microbe. The rabbits thus in- jected ched without convulsions, the heart and large blood vessels being’ en- gorged with blood. Brown-Sequard considers it fully proved that the ex- pired air, both of man and animals, contains a volatile poisonous principle iwhich is much more deleterious than ‘carbonic acid. } ——___-_ ~~ | Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. | Tne Brest Satve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Cicers, Salt Kheam, Fever i Sores, Tette, Chapped Hands, Chilblains Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and, positive: ly cures Piles, ar no pay required, It is suarantced to vive perfect satisfaction, or | money refunded. — Price 25 cente pes box, For Sale by Kluttz & Co. } d:ty. ee | Not many people know that there is |a Presidential ticket already in the field. iThe industrial party met in convention lin Washington.

It is she who embroidered the garments worn By the editor’s hard old chair, ‘ Now dressed with cushions soft and neat icon Fisher Street, near the Stand Pipe, qey le is on Fisher Street, near the Stam Pipe, With joke and laughter And trimmed up with tidies and ri8bons sweet, Which once was so poor and bare, If the editor’s sick, or away, or behind, In need of more hands or more haste, She directs his wrappers so they can be be read, And writes his leaders right out of her head, And willingly makes his paste. She reads the magazines, papers and books, F As the cradle she softty rocks ; While the editor sits in his easy chair, With his fingers thrust in his tangled hair, She quietly mends his socks. Then she reads the ads, with the editor, Just to find what cach has paid, “Bnt the column ad of the jeweler, there,” So he says, ‘and the harness, and human hair, Must be taken out in trade!” She wears the corsets she gets for ads., Aud rattles hig sewing machine; She uses the butter and eggs and things, The country subscriber so faithfully brings, Witha cheerfulness seldom seen. But her life so full of merry delight, Has one dark cloud alas! Though she shares his ticket to circus and play, To lecture, and negro minstrels gay, She can’t use his railroad pass! When time hangs heavy on his hands, She beguiles the hours away musie and song, And pleasant talk, and thus ripple along The whole of each Ici: ure day.

Grady on Ingalls. TEE KLOQUENT SOUTHERNER EXPRESSES HIS OPINION OF THE FIERY SOUTH- HATER. [Ailanta Constitution. ] Let me soy one wora joi here about the ovation to Mr. Dios. Leo not hope that Senator Liyaiis wil com- prehend its true my nig. A man shameless enough to sauder bis own dead in partirsan rage; vandal cuough to write traitor on the tomb of McPuer- son, who first gave victory tothe union army; cowardly enough to denounce -asan ally of the enemy (while the widow in her weeds sat almost in ‘sound of his voice) Hancock, the superb, who, on the heights of Gettsyburg weltering in his blood, saved the union cause—such a man cannot understand, or understanding. honor the devotion that, twenty vers after defeat, is still cousiaut and un- shaken. But, let others know that from Beuuvoirto Atlanta. Mr. Davis, rep- resenting a case that brought saeri- tice and suffering and ended in disas- ‘ter, rode annd the unbroken shouts of his people. From polughshare and i shock they came —-from hut and) man- ision-—from city and -conntry site— ‘thrunging that they might look into his face, or have him lay his hands on the heads of their children, and bless l them, For twenty years unexampied pros- “perity had sei the South to material things; further and further did we drift from memories fraught with ten- der and heroic lessons. A growing generation driv n early to school and shop had lost sight of the graves .atid mouuments of its futhers. An old } man in his lonely home, poor and un- | complaining, looked wonderingly on his people, gone mad with trade but bore in silence their neglect. At last he was cailed forth, and trasting came. Then the “South “took a day off,” anda manly, self-respecting day it was. ‘Ihe most useful, as it was the most beautiful, day in her history. Filled with love without disloyalty, with Job without rancor, smiljng through a mist of tears—loving every soldier, and better that she loved her soldiers so, tonching every grave in America with the flowers that decked her own, baptising her heart anew in water without — bitterness—honoring the union most in respecting himselt. Never were we better Americans than in that day. Never did our hearts beat truer to the Republic than when, gathering together our broken sword, and tattered flag, consecrated them anew in the presence of our leader and our chile dren. No man who believes that steadfistness is better than inconsis- tancy, that‘defeat hallows, as victory glorifies, a d.use honesty engaged an bravely fought can do better than | SALISBURY, N.‘C., THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1888, honoring. the South in - that. two decades after her ovetthrown, gave to him who laid down ber broken seep- tren grander and more heartfelt day, than would -have been his had he re- turned fresh from the singing of a tri- umphal treaty of peace at Washing- ton. What is it.-Mr. Ingalls would have? It is possible—amazing, ineredible— is it possible, that Jhe would demand as proof of our sincerity, that we shoul denounce, or, in silence, hear uthers denounce, our own people, liv- ing or dead? Would he measure our loyalty to the union by our treachery to our comrades or our fathers? Would he stop our widows as they go to honor their husbands’ graves, or have us teach our children that the monuments that glorify our Iand from Virgina to Texas teach a lesson for which they must look askance? Would he have us come to our brothers; late estranged, holding out one hand in friendship, while the other faltered in the defence of their comrads? If sc he shall be disappointed. The South is back to the Urion in ‘perfect good faith, willing to bear her part of its burdens, ready to work out her share of its glory and prosperity, she comes uncringing and frank, yielding nothing of the love and rev- erence in which she holds those who fought her cause in field and forum.— Were she craven. enongh to come otherwise, she would be unworthy the welcome of brave men. The South has accepted as final the results of the war. Not ope man in ten thousand of her people would reverse those res@lts if they could. Every point at issue has been settled and the verdict im- bedded in our constitutional law. The South admits this, and is glad of it. More than this, generous men could not ask or brave men concede. To the North she says, as brother to brother. “We shall honor Davis as you honor Grant: Jackson - as you honor Hancock. We shall find con- stant and deepening inspiration in. the 26th of April as you in the 30th of May. Our dead are as dear to us as yours to you—our graves as sacred, our monuments as stainless. But when danger threatens our common republic, when the future incites or the preseit warns. we shall be found shoulder to shoulder to you in loyalty and in per- fect love.” Tired of Good Feeling and Peace. Wilmington Messenger. Fredrick Douglass, “the pride of the negro race,” as he is often termed, made a speech in Washington on Mon- day last the occasion being the cele- bration of Emancipation Day. Re cently Douglas went on a visit to South Carolina aud Georgia and ad- dr ssed the negroes of those States. It we mistake not, he undertook to ad- dress them upon the necessity of thrift and industry and we beheve he gave them sound advice. Tn his Washing- ton address, however, he devoted bim- self to an arrugument of the white inen of the South for their treatment of the negroes in the years following the war and up to the present time. His speech was evidently intended for campaign purposes, aud abounded 11 reckless statements and daring misrep- resentations. We shatl not for the present attempt to refute the charge boldly madge/that the nevrocs in the South are systemat- ically cheated and imposed upon in their business dealings, by our’ people. We should like to call attention, how- ever, to the bold stand which Douglass takes in favor of reviving race issues. This is what be says, and if it is not a threat then we do not know the mean- ing of words: “The time has come,” he continued, “for a new departure as to the kind of maa who is to be the standard bearer of the Republican par- ty. We have had enongh of names; we now want things. We hare had enough of gaod feelings. enough of shak- ing hands over the bloody chasin, enough of conciliation, enough of laudation of the bravery of our Southern brethren. We tried all that with President Hayes, of the purity of whose motives I have no shadow of doubt. His uils- take was that he confided in the honor of Confederates who are without honor. He supposed that if left to themselves and thrown upon their -honor they would obey the constitution they had sworn to support, and treat the colored citizens with fairnes and justice at the ballot box.” ‘Then Douglas adds that with the sort of Republican President he would choose, “the red shirt and rifle horseback and tissue billot plan of South Caralina, and the Mississippi dulldozivg plan would receive no en- couragement.” It is rather amusing assuming the right to speak for the ex- Union soldiers of the North, and it is surprising to hear him audaciously an- nounc.ng, for them, that there has been enough of the reconciliation business between the white men of both sections. We should like to know by what au- thority. or with what propriety, even so prominent a negro as uglass can proclaim himself the mouthpiece of the veterans and make them say that they have had a sufficiency of good-feeling, that they have had quite enough of making up past differences and healing the wounds of war. We should like to know, because We May be mistaken in our opinion that Douglass has’ arro- to see Donglass gantly aud foolishly gssumed to sperk ' for men who would not under any cir- | cumstances delegate to him the honor of reflecting their sentitnents. Really, ' there is something grotesque in the sight of the “pride of the negro race” bolly creating and proclaiming the sentiments of hundreds of thousands of Anglo-Saxon citizens. ‘However, we desire the people of North Carolina, many thousands of whom were brave soldiers, to know that Frederick Douglass, speaking for the Republican party, has served no- tice that he and his fellow Republicans’ ure tired of peace and reconciliation. Of course we have known this all along; that is, we have realized the fact that the Republican party leaders would be willing to stir up hatred, if of past years, anc even set the people at each others’ throats in order to com- pass party ends. The debates in Con- proof, plain and positive of the hypoc- risy of these leaders. First Ingai's, then Spooner, now Douglass, assured- ly if one did not know the stuff out of which the American people are made he might apprehend dangerous conse- quences from the utterance of those unreconeiled and unreconstructed poli- ticians. But itis an ill wind that blows no good. Every declaration of hostilities against the South is a men- ace to the welfare of the whole coun- try. If Douglass and his fellows are tired of shaking hands over the bloody chasm, tired of even hearing of South- ern bravery, tired of the brotherly re- lation which obtain between the white men of the North and the South, then itis necessary forthe South to stand solid for the Democratic party, in thick and thin, fur only to this party can it look for justiee and protection against the asranits of bitter and vindictive Republican politicians. © We trust that every North Carolinian who has been approached hy Republican in- fluences will bear Douglass’ speech in mind. an Ignoring Colored Voters in Ohio. Washington Letter, April 20 to the Baltf- more Sun, There is no intelligent and fair man in the whole country, of whatever par- ty, Who is not perfectly well aware that the tears so frequent shed by he- publican politicians, masquerading in the* guise of statesmen, over the im- aginary wrongs of the colored people in the South, are crocodile. Mr. John Sherman bas for three days of this week interrupted the regular business of the Senate to rehash the calumnies which he knew to be false when he first began their utterance. He is awfully distressed because the colored people of the South have no voice or repre- sentation in political affairs, and the other presidential candidates, determin- ed that he shall not be ahead of them, have joined the chorus of weepers. Phe solicitude of Mr. Sherman and of all of them is confined exclusively to the South; they have no concern what- ever for the negro in their own States. Take away the colored voters of Ohio and the certain Democratic majority in that State would not be Jess than fifty thousand. Without the colored vote in New York the Democratic par- ty would have as much of a walk-over in that State asin Kentucky. Depriv- ed of it in Pennsylvania the Republi- cans would always have a hopeless con- test before them. Here are the three greatest States of the Union, and in all of them the Republican party wonld have no show whatever but for the colored vote. Yet the party managers in those States have never given the slightest recognition to. their colored allies, never sent one of them to Con- cress, or to the State Legislature or to municipal councils, issaries at work in the Sonth painting his devotion to the colored people and i I vor from the South to the national eonvention. If this man had any shame the bold hypocrisy of his pre- tended friendship for the colored peo- ple would have crimsoned his fice as he stood up before the Senate in his imputent attempt to lecture the South- ern Senators. [he Republican State convention of Ohio has just adjourned. It was absolutely under the control of Mr. Sherman and his friends, and the delegation sent to Chicago, aecording to Governor Foraker, will stick by Mr. Sherman as long ws he has a button on his cout. John S. At.ood. of Brown ‘county, a colored Republican of the most respectable character, was nom- inated as a delegate for the national convention. He was presented in a formal address. by the representatives of the 75,000 eolored voters of Ohno, ashing his selection as a matter of jus- tice to them, and beseeching the convention to tuke advantage of the op- portunity to recognize the claims of an element which had always stood by the party. But tie convention, which was under the thumb of Mr. Sherman, contemptuously disregurded this jast appeal, and snowed Mr. Atwood under by a majority of two to one. Thus Mr. Sherman turns his back on the colored mati lof his own State while wafting his Jadas kisses to the colored men of Louisiana. ee oS The somewhat notorious so-called ‘“mind-reader,” W. 1. Bishop, is now in a lunatic_asylam. The spirit man, ‘ quiet, they could to revive all the bitterness | gress since January last have been | Mr. John. Sher-} man has st this very moment his em- | mancevering for delegation in his’ fa- | Organic Union. The Presbytery of Louisville, Ky,. has adopted the following jndgment in respect to the proposed union of the Northern and Southern branches of || the Presbyterian church, viz: Until our northern brethern can see their way clear to adopt the policy of or- ganizing the colored people of the north- ern States into separate churches, pres- byteries and synods.of their own, and until there shall bea c'earer and fuller understanding brought to bear upon the minds of many of our people in reference to their interpretation and application of those points of our common ecelesiasti- cal polity that now deal with secular and political questions, we judge that the peace and prosperity of both churches will be best secured by ceasing to agitate or prosecute the question of |- organicunion, atleast forthe present. We have reached this judgment from opin- ions expressed among ourselves, as well as opinions and judgment that come to us through various sources, from differ- ent parts of our Southern Church. Whatever, therefore, may be the individ- ual views, feelings and desires of some of the members of this Presbytery in re- gard to the great question of organic un- ion, vet for the sake of harmony, and to await the unfolding of God's providence in the future, we do all now join in the above expressed judgment; ahd, while expressing ourselves thus, we, at the ‘same time affirm that we cherish to- } 2 j}ward our northéryn brethren the most | kind fraternal feelings. We admire their learning and ability, acknowledge their piety, zeal and enterprise in preach- ing and extending the trinmphs of | the gospel, commend their interest in }and labor for the iutellectual and spirit- | ual advancement of the Southern colored people, believe they are of like faith and order with ourselves, and do iherefore most heartily rejoice in their growing power and prosperity. Their standards of doctrine and church order are our standards what ever differences of view may obtain between them and us in re- | ference to the exact iuterpretation of a few points contained in these. Hence their success everywhere is, in part at least, oursuccess. Weare one inthe true ' Scripture sense even in the absence of a visible or accomplished organic union. | ee ee | A Rising Man. ; We learn that Mr. J. Everett Brady. lof this county, has just received from ithe University of Héjdelberg the de- gree of A.M. and Pa. D.and that too with distinction. He lias spent near- ly 5 years ‘in stady at the leading uni- versities in Europe— Leipzig. Goet- tingen, Heidelberg, Paris, Athens and Rome, and will soon return to lis na- tive country. Dr. Brady has written two small Philological works, one i Germen on Modern Greek, and the ther in Engi apon another Gran matical subject: both of these works have been published in) Germany, and were highly praised by such Jovrnals as the “London Athaeniam,” and by such scholars as B. 1. Gildersleeve. of Johns Hopkin’s University. His time has been devoted to Sanskrit. Classical Philology and History and the Mod- ern Languiges of Eurcpe, but chiefly to Sanskrit. German and Greek; as a Sanskrit scholar especially, he has been highly recommended by the faculty of the Universities of Goettingen and Heidelberg. Though Dr. Brady is a young man, he has tuken front rank umonest American scholars and he will reflect credit upon his State and the | University from which he graduated in 1881. We know of no young man lin the State wha is his peer in the field j he has chosen for his Ife’s work, that tof philosophy.

' WHAT THE DANVILLE REGISTER HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE CASH. The sickly sentimentality which is so prevalentin this generation toward criminals is disgusting. Cross and White. the Raleigh bankers, began with alieon their Hps and conducted a frandulent concern for years. They reecived deposits and inisapplied them. forged the names of their pat- rons aud obtained money. trandulently borrowed from other banks all the funds they could command, and finally ran away to Canada with all the cash they coald steal, leaving their friend: and patrous to suffer for their crimes und deserting in the most shanteful manner their wives and ch ldren. They were captured and brought back and then they began to cry and plead the baby act--and then ihe people be- gan to sympathize with them and to pat them on the head and 9 say “poor fellows, we are sorry for you.” Sym- pathy is a beautiful virtue when prop- perly bestowed, but when it stoops 89 low as to condone crime and encourage dishonesty, it becomes a mandlin mock- ery of an honest sentiment. Crossund White have forfeited all claims to pop- ular reapect and popular symyathy und they should be turned over to the law to be dewlt with uc-ordiny to their de- serts. s When horses ran en kick -hit’s. of er cole spell comin’ soen.. .

This isa sad mistake, for there is not a vegeta- ble in the garden that is so gross « feeder, nor one that so readily pays for all the food and care given as the To- mato. To grow it to the greatest per- fection, the hills should be dng to the depth of two anda half feet ; at the bottom there should be a half bushel of well-rotted manure ; above this Iet the soil be an equal mixture of loam’ and manure thoroughly mixed. The hills should be at least six feet apart. Let the situation be open, warm, aity. When the fruit begins to set mulch, with clean straw or very small brush. | Under these conditions six plants will furnish sufficient tomatoes ti a fami- ly of twelve persons. Whatever vari- ety may be planted in this manner, the’ result will show specimens for size, smoothness, and esculent properties, unknown to the variety when grown in the ordinary manner. ° C. L.

In French schools there are in ase. manuals of histery, showing the growth and the character of the social, legal and political institutions of the nation Every child grows up to comprehend French. He knows what has been the evolution of the past, and by what stages affairs reached their present condition. He is not likely to be a reactionist, and endeator to mvolte the notion in old experiments, already tried. The fault of all faults in Amer- ican education is the very smalj amount of knowledge acquired of the why and the wherefore of existing institutions.

Farmers are very busy ditching and fixing up their farms, houses, &c.,in gen- eral. Some are not through planting and could not have finished without rain, ‘while others have commenced plowing their corn. Our neighborhood now has on its prettiest coat. Flowers are in full bloom, strAwberries, lettuce, raddishes, onions, &c., are plentiful. Atthoush the frost topped a few potatoes, cut down corn and alittle fruit, its damage was very small. Wheat and oats have been damaged some by the cold and dry com- bined but will still make good crops un- less further hindered. Clover is now in full bloom and very fine. Several years ago hardly a patch could be seen, now almost every farmer has plenty. All they need is some of Miller’s Stanly cal- yesto root it up for manure. Peaches are very large for the time of year and some of the early varieties are begining to turn red. heavily loaded and many that are now on will probably fall on account of bein affected by the past cold, still fruit of all kinds will be plentiful. Heilig’s Mills. The health of our neighborhood is good. Spring oats are not looking very good in our neighborhood. About the usual corn and cotton crop has been planted in our vicinity. Wheat is looking very wel lalthough the chintz bug is doing some damage. We are almost through planting, and then the farmers will have a little rest. Rev. W. R. Brown, the pastor of Organ church will move into the new parsonage on Thursday. What has become of your correspond- ent, “Clod Knocker’? We would like’to hear from him again. Mrs. Jacob Holshouser, aged 61 years, living in the neighborhood of Rock, died of heart disease. She was a consistent member of the new Methodist church, and was beloved by all who knew her, Bost's Mill. There are plenty of apples and peaches yet. The farmers are through planting corn and cotton. The measles are still prevailing in some parts of this neighborhood. Mr. S. B. Colly set out a part of his tobacco crop.the last rainy season. Wheat is looking fine. Mr.C. M. Cress has the finest wheat in our vicinity. Mr. J. E. Briggs, of Manning, has the finest crop of corn in the neighborhood.

Continuation of the list of North Caro- lina minerals and their localities : II. TERNARY OXYGEN COMPOUNDS, 2. TANTATATES, COLUMBATES. 126. PYROCHLORE OR MICROLITE, Microscopic brownish yellow or honey yellow grains and crystals which appear to be octahedra, with dodecahedral planes, are associated with orthoclase, tourmaline, ete., in Yancey county, and are probably pyroclore or perhaps micro- lite. Larger octahedra are reported to have been found in Mitchell county, and were called microlite. Ihave never seen any; those sent to me as such, were gar- net. 127. HATCHETTOLITE. In octahedral crystals with cubical planes, a yellowish brown color, with greyish opalescence, resinous lustre and subconchidal fracture. Hardness, 5. Spec. Grav., 4.851. Found with samars- kite at Wiscman’s mine Mitchell county. Hess A massive variety of tantalite, weigh- ing a few ounces, has been eollected in Yancey county. It had a black color and a specific gravity of 6.88. It is also found “in Sharpe township, Alexander county, ina well terminated crystal of four ounces in weight. This mineral has but one other American locality, 1. e., Coosa county. Alabama. [t is a mineral remarkable for its high specific gravity, being heavier than pure iron. ZO} It occurs in crystals and crystalline masses of a black color imbedded in samarskite in Mitchell conuty. It has also been found in Yancey, Buncombe and Macon. 130. YTTROTANTALITE., According to General Clingman, grains of this mineral have been found in sever- al loealities in the Western counties. Jel. Tt has been found in small black grains and pebbles, sometimes weighing } of an ounce, in the gold sands of Ratherford ‘eounty, which, when broken, had a vitre- cvs resinous lustre and 2 brownish black color, and a spee. gray. of 5.69. It is found also in the gold sands of Burke and McDowell counties. | Usually in irregu- larlarly shaped masses, sometimes coarstly erystaleyagd, rarely’ in distinct modified rhombie prisms. The color is deep velvet black, in their edges brown, the lustre resonious and the fracture conchoidal. Spee, grav., 5.72, This mineral conta‘ns Columbice acid, Tantalic acid, Tungstic and stannic acids, Uranic oxide, Ferrous oxide, Manganous oxide, Cerous oxide, &e., Yttria, Magnesia and lime. This mineral has lately been the subject of investigation by numerous chemists and several new elements, mosandrum. philippium and decipium have been discovered in it. 132. TANTALITE. COLUMBITE. SAMARSKITE. EUXENITE. Associated with the Samarskite. In reddish brown and hairbrown masses, which are translucent in their fragments, fracture irregular to subeonchoidal, lus- tre resinous, not crystallized. Spec. grav., 6.593—4.642. 133. JESCHYNITE. The most perfect crystals of the black ‘inerals from Mitchell and Yancey, which has been considered columbite, agree in form and physical properties with wschynite, similar in appearance to that from Miask, Siberia. : 134. RUTHERFORDITE. In monoclinic crystals and grains of a blackish brown color and vitre-resinous lustre and conchoidal fraeture, Sp. gr., 5.55—5.69. In the gravel deposit of Rutherford and Burke counties. 30. FERFUSONITE, Found in gold sands of Burke county;, also in Rutherford and Mitchell. 1356. In white mammillary crusts and little pearly beads upon samarskite and euxe- nite in Mitchell county. - Specific gravity, 413, ROGERSITE, oe oe A Cow Worth Having. Mr. W. S. Shuliberrier, of Atwell town- ship has a Devon Short Horn cow that is remarkable for two things, the first is she gives as high as six gallons of milk a day, and the second is that, on last Thurs- day morning she dropped three calves that weigh together 112 pounds. They are all apparently well developed, strong and healthy. ———>- > aa Tribute of Respect.

Ye Ancient Pirate. - A Thrilling Chapter Of North Caro- lina History. There is a chapter of ancient history relatiee to the North Carolina edast whichis but little known. yet which is of intense interest. We refer to that rel- ative to the piratical operations of the wuly purtof the 18th. century. Some reference has been made of late to the ex- ploits of Elward Teach, or Blue Beard, as he'was known, aud a few days re- eontly the Star stated that he was at- tacked off Cape Fear and he and 40 of his men arvived in Charlestout. This isa mistake. Teach’s record of infamy was not made on the South Carolin cost buton that of this State, althongh be brobably operated along the Atlantic seaboard and also if the West Indies and on the Spanish Main. The narrative of his piratical deeds and exploits is incomplete, but yet such as it is, itis a mutter pertaining mainly to the history of North: Caro- lina. Allof those who have written pirtial or “complete histories of the State refer tothe exploits of this des- perado. He wasa reality, and not a myth, and it is probab'e that the old fa‘ry tale of Black Beard had its origin in the Black Beard of the North Caro- lina coast, as itis known that Teach had thirteen wives. he having mieagried his last in North Carolina. The best and most compiete account of the piratical exploits of H:lward Teach Thache, as it is written in the earlier rec rds of the province is found in Hawks’ History of North Carolina. He was born in Bristol, England, and his first appgarance on the scene wis pabout the year 1706. Re served first in a privateer fitted out in Jamuca, during the war of the Inglish with France and Spain, where he distingaished himself by his daring courage. In 1806 he turned pirate i connection with one Llornsgold and cruised betweea the islind of New Providi nee and the continent. Hiv- ing captured a sloop Hornsgold gave him command of the prize aud soon after he fell in with a large’ Feench Gaineamin, Boral for Maurtiniqa which he captured He armed her with 40 guns and transferred to her his flig, civing her the name of Queen Ann's Revenge. Dr. Hawks faraishes ns with the following xecount of Peach's exploits and of the close of his sane@utnary career: His flag was heisted on board of a ship of #0 eens. a vessel which, with her armeiment and stores, he could carry isto no larbor on the coast but that of Beaufort, aud he had a crew of 100 men. His quadron consisted of six vessels; Wane, Bonnet and Wor- ley were his chief captuims. In the month of May 1718, Peach, craisime off the bar of Charleston captured a ship having on board as a passenger Samuel Wrage. oue of the councli o1 South Carolina. He robbed this gen- tleman of S6,CCO in specie and then impudently sent four of his men int Charleston with a messag: to Gov. Johnson, demanding a chest of medi- cine and accompanied with the assur- ance that should it not be sent, he should behead Mr. Wragg and all of the other passengers. ‘T'o save their lives the chest was scnt. After amassing a large amount of plunder, he returned to North Caro- lina, determinéd to disperse bis follow- lainy. His first step was to go to th ers and live on the fruits of his vil- hoase of Governor Eden, with tweenty of his men, and take advantage of the King’s proclamttion of pardon. This he did and obtained the Governor's certificate. A court of adminery soon atter satat Bath, when Teach, who never held a commission nor took a lawful prize, with consurmmate impa- dence procured the condemnation of a stoop which he or some of his followers had piratically taken at sea and sent in. He now sat down on land to riot. in his Hl-gotten weath, and for the thir- teenth time married a wife—a young woman who probably was not very Inquisitive as to how many of her pre- decessors were living. Restless and roving in disposition, however, he could not long remain on shore, and when tired of dissipation on lind, he resolved to diversify his pleasure by a little nore robbery and murder at sea. He accordingly went on a cruise and soon returned with his plunder in the shape ofa French ship, laden with a valuable carzo of sugar and coea. [he lie which he told, and to which four of his men swore, was so gross that it seems scarcely creditable that it could have b2en listened to fora mo- ment. He stated that he had found i Vessel at sea, tbindoned by a crew, though, whoa brought inshe bore no marks of injury from tempests, or oth- erw.se, necessitating such abandon- ment. Tle libelled her, however, i fhe court of admiralitv, which on the oath of the four men alluded to ad- jedged her to be a lawful prize to the captors. The siip (0a the groand that she was unseaworthy) was barned.

C., THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1868, by applying to Spotswood, then Gov- ernor of Virginia, to request the Brit- ish naval officer_in command on his station to send a force into the waters of Carolina and take the pirate. It is intimated that they adopted this course becanse Eden theirown Govern- or, was not, in their view, sufficiently prompt in affording them redress. Captain Ellis Brand was the naval officer commanding in the waters of Virgimia; and he; aeting in concert with Governor Spotswood, fitted out two sloops, and placing them under Lieutenant Robert Maynard, ordered hia in parsuit of Teach. Spotswood at the same time offered, by proclama- tion, a reward of 100) pounds for the apprehension of Teach. fifteen pounds each for any of his officers, and ten pound per min for his crew. | Maynard sailed from the James river in November, 1718, and four days «f- | ter crossed Oeracoke bar and steered for Pamlico river. It had been the effort 'to keep Muynard’s expe tition a secret and take the pirate by surprise, but Teach had discovered it and was pre- pared to defend himself, with his crew of twonty-fHve desperadves. As May- hard came within gun shot, he receiv- ed Leach’s fire, so that the engigement commenced on his. side. Maynard then stood directly for his vessel, but unfortumtely grounded near enough ‘ imprecations, to let him kn w that he would neither give nor take quarters. The fight thus became one of predeter- mined extermination, and was desper- ate oa ba h sides. By one broadside Muynard loss twenty men, when he promptly resolved that the contest should be finished; hand to band at close quarters. ‘Io effect this, he re- sorted to the stratagem of sending his men below, with instruetion to be ready to appear on the first stent, prepared for close quarters. As he anticipated, Teach, perceiving his deck clear, ordered his crew to board. ‘The moment they touched his deck, Miy- aard called his men and then the slaughter commenced. The two comm inders made for each other, and discharged their pistols with- out effect; then they drew their dirks. 4nd alike Letween officers and men on both sides, the blows of death were dealt with fearful rapidity on a deck soon made slippery with biood. At list Teach fell, exhausted with the wounds he had received. Of the seventeen pirates who had bouwded the Kine’s vessel, Teach, wita nine others were killed outright, and the other eight were so wounded they begged for and received mercy. Maynard then unmediately attacked ‘Teach, vessels. ce ntaining the residue of the pirates who had remained on board of her. The officer in command had ordered a negro, who with a tire brand stood ready to appiv it to the magazine and blow the vessel up the moment she was boarded. © Que broadside wes als that she discharged, in returning which. the command-r of the prates would appear to have been killed, and the crew yielded; though it was with difh- culty the negro was prevented from blowsng ap the vessel, even after he knew that he who ordered it was dead. Teach was now beyond the reach of haman punishivent; he had gone to a more feerful tribunal than that of most men. Maynard caused his head to be severed from his body, and hang- ing it at the end of his bowsprit, sated up to the town of Bath, where he landel his men and rem iied some little time for their refreshment and recovery. He thon peoeveded to his station in Virginia, taking wita him his pirate prisoners and still carrying, in advance as before, the head of their brave-but villainous leader hang nz at his bowsprit. A court of admuiralicy there soon disposed of them, and thir- teen of them followed their chief to the judgment seat of eternity.—Hul- mington Revie. —_—_—_———=> +> a Induction Traia Telezraphy. The practical value of the system of telography, by which messages can be sent irom moving trains was well illus- trated by its workingson the Lehigh Valley railroid during the recent great snow storm. In the accident near Tree Bridges the induetion train’ telegraph operator was on board, and at once tele- graphed back to Flemington for a wrecking train. Within a saort time Saparintendent Donnelly arrived, and during the entire day messages were sentto andfrom the wrecking tran, and surgical relief was obt.ned.

A most suggestive—perhaps the most suggestive—part of the speech of Mr. Mills is that in which he touches on the rise and fall. since 1860, of -our Federal taxes. In the sense of taxation and physi- cal prosperity 1860 was our halcyon year. It was a better year than 1836, when the Federal Government was not only out of debt, but distributed 87 1-2 millions among the States, obtained largely by prodigious sales of public lunds—betier, because in 1836 there was real estate and “ray-baby” bub- ble which was net in 1860. ‘The peri- od between 1846 and 1860 was a Dem- ocratic era of relatively small taxation. We had conducted in that era a sue- cessful foreign war, and in 1860 had a Federal debt of only 64 1-2 millions, and had a Federal tax of only 53 mil- lions, all levied on imports... Last year our Federal debt was 1,700 3-4 millions and our Federal income, chiefly from taxes, was the enormous suin of nearly 371 1-2 millions. Our population in 1860 was 81 1-2 millions. in 1888 it. {is provably nearly twice as large. Our Federal tax in 186) was less than two dollars a head; now it is over three times as much! When, in 1861, burst upon us, we hurriedly begin to lucre:se taxes in a way which was the perfection of unwisdom; and in 1866, when the war had closed, we began to think of reducing the taxes, and soon began to reduce with as little wisdom as we had increased them. The hit- ting at a Donnybrook fair was as reck- less and unscientific as was the impo- sition of taxes from 1860 to 1865, and as las been the taking off .of taxes since 1866. The imposition of taxes culminated in 1885, Federal receipts were 520 millions (ex- cluding loans), of Which 809° millions came from internal taxes, 179 millions from cusiom taxes, and ne rly 2 mil- lous from direct taxes. But, notwith- standing the end of the war twenty years agy, our custom taxes in 1887 were 88 anilions more than in 1866. aithongh our internal taxes were 102 anilions des¢/ ‘That is a startling fact, Our Federal tixition in 1887 owas, as ty 1860, in the relation of 871 to 520, and yet in 1863 was the taxation zenith. The speeie value of our imports in IS69, iaclud:ne coin and ballon, was 3062 inillious, as against 752 1-2 m_1- liousin 1887. In 1869 the average ad valorem per centage of customs taxes on dutiable articles was 19 per ceat., but in LS37 it was 47 43-100 per cent. Nothing is to bs gained now by an angry arranzement of nrotives; but yet the fact is that, from 1861 to 1865, the manufacturing interests exploited the tax lezeslition of the war period to benefit themselves, and have, since 1866, exploited the reduction of tax- ation in-a similar way. — It was the surplus and tue surplus alone, which has compelled tax reduction since 1866, as it is the surplus, and only the surplus, which pushes reduction to-day. Tarif reformers would be impotent as againsithe — protected beneficiaries were it not for thesarplus. - Federal income has since 1866 been reduced from 52) to 371 1-2 millions, but the reduction has been most idroit- ly manazed so as to consolidate and perfect the protective svsiem.—N. Y. Star. Se Why Mr. Blaine’s Letter Vas Written. Baltimore Sun. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew’sannounce- ment tant heis not aeuididate for the Presidency is accompiumted by a value able explanation of Mr. Biune’s Flor- ence letter. The letter, Mr. Depew says, only means that Mr. Biaine will not—like Senator Sherman, forexample —go before the convention as an avow- ed candidate for the nomimation, but will leave the eonveution free to make its ownchowe.

Washington are aware of the fact that every word uttered upon the floor of either House or Senate, when addressed to either speaker or president, is taken down and appears in the Congresaional Record. It is true that much time. paper and printer's ink is wasted by this, but nevertheless it isa fact. But to do this, of course, requires the em- ployment of the most rapid and expe- riezcad stenographers. he of these are employed upon the floor of the House, simply to take down the speeches, debates, ete. The chief of the corps receivesa silary of $6,000, while the other four are paid $1,000 less. ‘These men simply take down the woids in shorthand, working for fif- teen minutes each in succession. When each one’s fifteen minutes ex- pires ha repairs to the official reporter's room, Where tet: more stenographers are employel--two to each man—to whom are read the reports taken on the floor, and who take acopy in short- hand. Then they translate this ints the copy for the printer. ‘Tnese inen omn in the Record. ‘he same is also gone through with in the Senate daily. . cured a machine to faciliate work bie value. It is one of Edison's inven- tions, and is called the graphaplne. The machine very mach resembles ea laudy’s sewing machine and is worked the same manner—-by a pedal. The instrument is used in this wise: When one of the priucipal stenograph- ers concludes his tloor report, be goes to this machine, reads his report into a ‘funnel connecting with the main cylinder, which is gutta percha coated, needle connecting with the tube from the funnel mouthpiece rests against it. The cylinder envelopes a screw which prevents the needle tracing a torner tne. When tle stenographer finishes reading his’ report another operator attaches tubes to the evlinder, connecting with his ears, worxs the machine, and the words of. the steno- sime tone of voice of the previous talker, The rapidity of the talk can be rezulated, and the operator ean thus with ease take down the exact words by the use of a tvypewrifer or an ordinary pen. ‘The michine is certatn- ty wonderfal and enables a person with the assistinee of a typewriter to do the work of two ordinary stenographers, who first have to take the report in shorthand and then translate it. These gutta percha cylinders, I neg- lected to mention above, cin be stored iway, and years after, if placed upon the machine, the same words used to- day will be repeated iu the exact tone of the speaker of to-day. Thus sbould any recosd beeom2 destroved these may be resorted to. Another thing about this machine is that a person here can talk for an hour imto one, mul the cylinder to Atlanta, where by the use of a machine the exact words used here will be repeate], thus saving the labor of writing long communica- tions. — Atlanta Constitution, ee eee How tho President Work:.

From the Concord Times. . See Organize and Work. The Statesville Landmark has this to say on the above subject : North Carolina is a Democratic State; there is no doubt about tbat. [t is more decidedly so to-day than it ever was before, and with reason. One reason is that we have a Democratic President of such courage, breadth, ability and honesty that he commends himself to a people who like these qual- ities, as North Carolinians do, and in pone he has added to the popularity of his party. Another reason is, that we have so dignified, pure and economical State government, that a careful, conservative people, such as North Carolinians are, will not con- sider a proposition to exchange it for one by a party which has never done them anything but evil. No man can give a reason why Cleveland should not be re-elected; no min can give a res- son why Oliver Dockery should sit in the Governor's chair; why the partisan Republican lawyers of the State should | be converted into Supreme and Suaperi- | or Court judges, and why a white-and- black Legislature, composed of such niaterial ws the Republican party usu- ally offers to the people as law makers, turn the existing order of things (as they propose to do) and send Republi- ean politictans— perhaps Democratic deserters-—-to Washington to take the seats of Ransom and Vanee. Out pe pledo not usually move without reason, and as there ts no reason in any of these things they will not a tively help to do them. But they can help negitively. We have said that the sentiment of the State is more decidedly Democratic than ever befure, and so it Is; but sen- timent does not carry elections. If we sit down and say, “Cleveland 13 a good | President and ought to be re-elected, and the government of North Carolina ought by all means to continue to be administered by the party of the white eople”—saying so 1s well enough, but if we continue to sit still it will not contiue to be so. We have got to give effect to this sentiment. Fine words butter no paursnips, and correct opinions are of no value except as they are acted upon. We have got to beat the Republicans again this year; it must be done; we cannot afford to fall under their dominion again; but in order to beat them we must give force to the convictions of our people. all important that they think right; now, then, the next thing to do is to get them to vote as they think. If they will start into the campaign right now at the outset, they will find their interests in it increase as it pro- gresses and it will find themselves at the polls election day voting for good government. By that means they will perpetuate it, whereas, by their in- difference they consent for the election to go by default. Every man ought to take a pride in his politics and his party. Every man ought to insist upon his rights in the counsels of his party. Iv the Democratic party he is allowed to do this, and no man should neglect to exercise his privilege. Let | him attend his township primary and | express his opipions and cast his vote. He owes this to himself; he owes it to his ample; he uwes it to his sons whose model be is. Mark the man who “takes no interest in politics.” He is not a good citizen. He could afford to say this if he lived under a monarcby or a despotism, where his rulers and his Jovitation, made @ very temperate and judicious ptatement touching the case of Rev Brown, raring the Tennessee Synod had none but kind- Ty feelings towards him, and the action taken was only for the reason that bis views were not to accord with the established views of the Ky- nod op doctinal points.

Mr. Cleveland is in glorious good humor these bright Spriag days, and he has good cause to be, fur no dota- ment in the history of this Govern- ment has had such: goodd an immediate effect upon the people of this country as did his celebra message to Con- gress urging revenue reform. It is not yet six months since that message was sent to Congiess, and in- stead of the democratic party being torn to flinders as the zroakers predict- ed, the party is to-day marching in a solid phalanx to the music of revenue reform. State after State as thev hold their convention join in the grand chorus and ‘erelong the glad tidings will be echoed from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mex- ico to the dominion of Canada. Bub even this bright pictrr: has a sombre side, caused by shadows thrown from a group of democratic members who, under the leadership of Mr. Sam- nel Randall, of Pennsylvania, have mutinied against the Administration, at least in this matter. This group is growing smaller and smaller, however, and their constituents are beginning to be heard from. Already one of them has been defeated for renomination solely on account of his opposition to the Mills tariff bill, and more of them will go the same way unless they come into the party lines while there is yet time to reform. A bill has been introdneed into the House to erect a monument in_ this city to the memory of Gen. W-.S. Hancock. and the bill will go through this session, if it is overlooked in the hurry and excitement of national con- ventions and much more that 1s con- nected with the Presidential campaign. The republican Senators who are members of the Judiciary conimittee are inno hurry to make a report on the nomination of Mr. Fuller for chef Justice of the United States. Stillthe report will be all right when it is made, because they ean find no reason for its being otherwise, and as the Supreme Court adjourned to-day until next Oc- tober, there is no particular hurry wbout the confirmation. Owing to the large number of mem- bers who are down for speeches on the Mills tariff bill, it has been definitely settlad to continue the general debate until Saturday the 19th, inst inclusive. At a caueus of the democratic members it was decided that all democrats pro- posing to offer amendments to the bill should submit them to the democratic members of the Ways and Means com niuttee for consideration and report to another caucus to be held this week. Mr. Huindall, gave notice that he would not be bound by caucus action on this question. A large number of amendments have heen submitted to the committee in ac- cordance with the above, and Saturday afternoon was spent in considering them and in hearing the statements of the gentleman who proposed them. No decision has yet bee. arrived at by the committee, but itis probable that they will report in favor of some amendments to the bill, in the interest of party harmony. ‘The final passage of the bill is still doubtful owing to the stubborness of the Randall demo- crats, The River and Harbor bill which passed the House appropriates $20,- 000,000.

Mr. Scott is a member of the Ways and Means com- mittee; 2 confidential friend of the President, and the owner of large coul mines and iron manufactures. For these different reasons his speech was attentively heard. He made a strong argument bristleing with figures and facts in favor of the bill and in conclu- sion said: We are here, sir—we, the majority of the Ways and Means com- inittee and of this House—in defence of American industry. We alone of- fer it protection; we seek alone the in- dependence ana aggrandizement of domestic labor by liberating. it from unhatural restraints and allowing itjthe undisturbed possession and the complete enjoyment of its own earnings. The other side offer it—what? A monopo- lized market in which to buy the neces- saries of life on one hand, and on the other a labor market subjoct to the ca- price of trusts. Among the disting- uished people who heard Mr. Scott's speech were Mrs. Cleveland, Postmas- ter General Dickinson, and First As- sistant Postmaster General Stevenson, who by the way, hasdeclined to allow his name to be used in connection with the gubernatorial nomination in [linois. ~~: em The “Father of Waters” above the ; Danger line DAVENPORT, Iowa, May, 12.—The Mississippi river bas been above the dan- ger ne for four days and is steadily ris- ing.

After having placed the leaves securcly over their young the old birds flew toward the top of the tree, and leisurely and quietly picked their ruffled feathers. The two doctors and the birds then quietly watched the actions of the snake that crawled up to the nest.

At a council held the night before the battle as we learn from Mr. C, L. Hunter’s Sketches of Western North Carolina, “It was determined that the companies under Captains Falls, Me- Dowell and Brandon shauld act on horse- back and march in front. No other arrangement was mide, and it was left to the officers to be governed by circum- stances after they reached the enemy.” They commenced the attack very early in the morning, drove in the pickets, and the horsemen charged up within “30 steps of the line and fired at the tories.” It was in this charge that Capt.

Phere ix perhays no one of the pow- | Wasurnaron, May, 10.—The report ers couierrved on the Federal. Govern- tuent solinble to abnse as the taxing The mo-t productive and con- venient sourees of vevenue were neces- sarily ziven to it, that it might be able power, to perform the important duties im- | _posed upon it; and the taxes which it D. 2. JULIAN & CO., | | NEW GOODS: { for lays upon commerce being concealed from the real payer in the price of the article, they do not so readily attraet ihe attention of the people as smaller site demrurnded from them directly by the tax-vather. But the tax imposed on goods enhanced by so much the price of the commodity tothe consum- sivlas muy of these duties are im- posed on articies of necessity, which ars ol i'y used by the great body of the peop'e, the money raised by these im- ports is drawn from their pockets. Congress has no right under the Con- stitution to take money trom the peo- ple unless it be required to execute some one of the specitic powers intrust- ed to the Government; and if they raise more than is necessary for such purpose it is an abuse of the power of taxation and unjust and oppressive. It may, indeed, happen that the reven- ues will some times exceed the amount anticipated when the taxes were laid. When, however, this is ascertained it 1s easy to reduce them; and in such a case it is unquestionable the duty of the Government to reduce them, for no circumstances can justify it in- assam- Nau poser nov given to it by the Cousi: lou, vor mn taking away the money of tie people when it isnot needed for the legitimate wants of the Goyernment. Plain as these princi- ples appear to be, you will yet fin! that there is a constant effort to in duce the general Government to go beyond the limits of its taxing power, and to impose unnecessary burdens upon the people. Many powerful in- terests are continually at work to pro- cure heavy duties on commerce, and to swell the revenue beyond the real ne- cessities of the public service; and the country has already felt the injurious effects of their combined influence. They succeeded in obtaining a tariff of duties bearing most oppressivaly on the agricaltural and liboring classes of society, and producing a revenue that could not be usefully employed within the range of the powers con- ferred upou Congress; and in order to fasten upon the people this unjust and unequal system of taxation extravgant schemes of internal improvement were got up. in various quarters, tosquander the money and to purchase support. Do not allow vour selves, my fellow citizens, to be mislel on this subject. The Federal Government cannot col- lect a surplus for such purposes with- out violating the principles of the Con- stitution and assuming powers which have not been granted. it is, more- over, a system of injustice, and if per- sisted in will inevitably lead to corrup- tion, and must end in ruin. The sur- lus revenue will be drawn from the pockets of the people—from the farm- er. the mechanic, and the laboring class- es of society; but who will receive it when distribnted among the States, where it is to be disposed of by lead- ing politicians who have friends to fav- or and political partisans to gratify ? It will certainly not be returned to those who paid it and who have most need of it and are honestly entitled to it. There is but one safe rule, and that ts to confine, the General Govern- ment rigidly within the sphere of its appropriate duties. It has no power to ruse a recen:e or tutpose taces except jor the purposes enumerated inthe Con- stitution, al if its income is found to exceed these wants it should be forth- vith sear ce!, and the burdens of the people so fur lightened. ae enone The Bank Thief White. Of this’ worthy the Raleigh corres- pondent of the Petersburg Lndexr-Ap- peal says: ; At a meeting of the members of Ed- enton-Street Methodist church, held: Wednesday night, Samuel C. White, the “bank boodler,” who had been a prominent member, was expelled. He appeared at the meeting through a representative, who zealously defend- | ed him. The actions of White since his release from jail hive, to say the least, been singular, gnd itis thought, by some that he is somewhat dement- | ed. He is almost continually on the street, s eking (or pretending to seek) employment, and evinces piuch an- noyauce at not being received with the same confidential greeting as in former times. In fact, his importumities have become quite annoying. On the other hand his partner in crime (Cross) iiss been quite secluded, and 1t was rumor- ed last evening that he had gone to Gates county, where be will qnietly re- main with friends until the trial comes off.

It has also been cvol on the Atlantic coast, and not favorable ‘to improve- ment, and yet the plant has nearly held its own in this region. On the Pacific coast only medium develop- /ment is reported. Southern States : Changes are slight, several averages being the same as last month. Penn- | Sylvania shows a decline of four points. |New York 10, Oto 12. Michigan 12 ‘Indiana 6, Illinois 7, Missouri 2, Kan- sas 3. The general average is reduced 9 points-—-from 82 to 73. Last year the condition was reduced from 88 in April to 88 in May. State averages ,of winter wheat in the principal States are as follows: New York, Pennsylvania 87, Vir- ginia 90, Ohio 56, Michigan 64, Indi- , ana 59, Tllinois 57, Missouri 80, Kan- jsas 93, Texas 90. Spring plowing is ‘not quite so well advancedas usual. It is relatively later in the more north- ern States of the Atlantic coast, slight- ly later than usual in the middle States, and scarcely up to a full average in the South. Its progress is an aver- age in the Ohio valley, but late in the Northwest, especially in Dakota. cess of moisture. In March, the soil ing; the delay was greater in Texas and Louisiana. In Arkansas, Tennes- see and North Carolina from four to six per cent. less than usual was plant- ed on the first of May. In the States on the coast, from South Carolina to Mississippi, planting is nearly up to its average advancement. luvestigation of the rate of wages of agricultural labor shows that no material cnange has occurred since the last previous inquiry in May, 1885. There is a slight increase in New Eng- land, in the Northern States from Michigan west, and imsome of the Southern States. Tgere is no appreciable change in the Central States. The next report will give the rates by States. Winter rye remains very nearly as in Apri!, the average being 9.29 in- stead of 6.35. The condition of win- ter barley is 88.3, promising a medium crop. —- Let the Girls Step in. There is a widespread want unsuppli- ed for the juxuries of country life; the two most sought for and most dithicult to obtain are the products of the dairy and the poultry-yard. Farmers ‘are suid to be grasping; we think other- wise, as they, for lack of ambition, sell their milk to dealers and creameries. If the farmers’ dau hters made as good butter and cheese as their grandmoth- ers did, there would be no need of pro- tective milk associations; if farmers’ daughters used incubators and rais- ed and fattened poultry, the pres- ent dearth of plump chickens and fat capons would cease. List March broiling chickens sold whoile- sale thirty-e ght cents per pound, and the same month capons reached twenty- eight cents per ponnd. These are remunerative prices, and better rates could be obtained by serving first-class hotels and restaurants. Dairy butter sold down to eighteen cents per pound last March, when more than one owner of dairy cows, through superior skill as a producer, and greater enterprize as a merchant, received one dollar per pound for butter, and his eager custo- mers clamored for more. Farming 1s said not to pay; farmers are always poor. Now just let the girls step in and see if they cannot make as good butter as the great cream- eries put on the market, and when they do, fathers, see to it that your daughters have their just share of vour increased profit. It is ‘tthe ready pen- ny,” the actual possession of money, that we all desire, and this universal longiftg sends girls to the mull, the factory, and the store. Farmers’ daughters who remain at home are fed and clothed but rarely paid for their This is what so frequently discourages them. Then again many girls lack manual skill, at home re- ceive no training which tends todimin- ish this evil. They know nothing, therefore they “go out.” Te woman who would most benefit her sex woald be the one who, having the means at hercommand, will place within’ the reach of farmers’ daughters an edues- tion which would enable them to gam a comfortable living in the are of country pursuits. She would be a benefactress in two ways. as she wold thin the ranks of wage earners ane open new fields of industry to worth. ambitious women.—-Linericin culturist. for June. ——_- Near La Porte, Indiana, Mb. 17, young tramp who had got emp. .yarae on a farm, having behaved weil for three weeks, was entrusted witn the -eare of three children, while the :a5.h- er went te town, The bx, I months old, became fretful aud ue tried to hush it up by suaking it; bat he shook it hard enough to break its neck.

From bere he quietly shadowed him to Henderson, Where assisted by deputy iwarshal D. A. Grantham, he made the arrest as above. When arrested Thomson was claiming to represent a great. silver mine of untold wealth in Idaho and Was selling shares in this mine to all whom hecould “take in,” exhibiting a silver brick as a specimen of its out- put,and we learn that he secured a number of victims in this State. He had on his person certificates of 20.- OOO shares of this mine stock when arrested. He told us that he had a _wife and three children, all grown and married, living in Washington, where he was taken yesterday. He has been traveling under many assumed names, bu’ his true name is that given above. ay —Goldsboro Argus. ee ee Strawberries in and out of Season.

Then at Krider’s Mill on by W. A. Luckey’s, thence to White Fraley’s, and you will find roads, compared with the two roads in question through Franklin are smooth und level. But if you are -not satisfied with this examination, and wish to see the climax of bad rouds, then we in- vite you to pass over the public road from White eiatey's across by Dr. J. G. Ramsay’s, thence by Baker's Mill, on to Cleveland, and you will see the worst roads in this county, and yet it isa fact that they very rarely work their roads, sometimes neglecting to do so for two and tree years until they are absolutely almost impassable. Again take the Statesville Road at Third Creek und follow it down by Isaac Lyerly’s and on by Sutfin’s bill, azd then undertake to say that people who pass over such roads year after year, cannot get to town over the eompara- tively good and level roads through Franklin and Salisbury, is perfectly preposterous. At is a well known fact. that the present crocssing of the Wilkesboro road over Jumping Run is the only practicable one on said stream for nearly two miles up the same. You, Mr. Kditor, onee lived right on the bauk of that stream, and of course are well acquainted with the topography of the stream and its surroundings. You know full well that wherever you strike it you encounter very steep and abrupt hills on the South bank, hills that could not be crossed or surmount- ed without trestles and bridges, and be- sides heing very boggy it would be im- possible to cross it, whilst at the pres- ent crossing though there is a tolerably steep but smoothe hill on the North side, it is not at all steep on the South, and the crossing is over solid roek, and can never give way. We fully believe that a large num- ber who signed the petition did so without any knowledge of the topog- raphy of the ‘county through which they propose to run the roads. Again the proposed change will greatly damage those over whose lands it passes, to wit: D. L. Krugg, J. A. Harrison, W. R. Fraley, A. C. Dun- ham and others; for instance it would ran through the plantation of W. R. Fraley from ene end toe the other, about three-fourths of a mule, first entering the place in and running through a four acre orchard of choice fruit trees, thence through a five acre cotton field, thence right through the middle of a four acre claver field, then through other cotton land and on diagonally through another five acre orchard of fine young frnit trees, thence through other cultivated and wood land, on to Dunham's place, and taark you, it will run just 80 yards from the present Statesville road and exactly pirallel with it. havinz the same undulations, rises and falls, whilst the Statesville road right along by the side is notoriously one of the most level and best’ roids in the county, there being no hills and hollows scarce- ly, and it is never out of fix and can- not get so, and by running the propos- el route, it will split the fields above named into two long narrow strips, right through the most fertile lands on the place, besides turning the traveling public right through those v-luable orchards, which probably have no equal in the county. In addition to this, if roads are mov- ed as proposed, it will necersitute the, building of three costly bridges, whilst we now have below the old mill, two good, substantial bridges, and the best | rock causeway in the county. And then look at the damage it will do to the property at Livingstone Col- leg, changing all their fronts and dis- arranging all their plans. Whilst it is true Rowan is proper- ous and has a full treasury, always enough to pay off jurors, etc., yet it 1s kept full by wringing it out of the hard earnings of the tax payers, and we have no money to squander upon any such wild and useless schemes. Do you believe our worthy commis-, sioners are going to do this thing? They will never do anything so per- tect y preposterous, or inflict so great a wrong op n any man.

His numerous and strong friends in Rowan will regret " this, and for excellent reasons will re- sist the attempt to put him out with all their strength. But without the aid of other connties in the District, as much benefited by having a faithful capable and honest representative in Congress as they are, their zeal will of course be of no avail. It will greatly mortify the intelligent voters of Row- an to see their favorite defeated with- out cause. No ian could have been more devoted to the faithfal perform- ance of his duties than Mr. Henderson. Nor is there a man in the District who could have rendered better service or, reflected more credit in the Congress of the United States on the people he represents, He is not a ranting dem- agogue. He is not a windy buncombe orator. He is not a smooth, deceitful talker, nor a hurricane of patriotic ardor. We who have known him from boyhood, and his ancestors before him, value him as a man of wide intel- ligence, of honor and uprightness, of integrity, of truth, of industry and trne worth in all the relatious of life. He has proved himself worthy of the place he fills, with much credit to him- self and his constituents. To turn out such a man with no better motive than to give the place to another who has everything to learn before he can be nsefyl: who has to earn a respectable position and reputation for ability equal to the duties and responsibilities of a good Congressman, is simply to throw away all the advantages gained by Mr. Henderson's experience. [tis wasteful so far as the people are con- cerned—wasteful and disgraceful. It degrades the office from the grand de- sign of protecting the rights and in- terests of the people to a subject of scramble between ambitious aspirants for titles, or for the lucrative salary whieh it pays. The people have no interest in such scrambles. It is di- rectly against them, but if they will not see it, they have only to bear the consequences of their blindness. oe The Democratic County Convention here last Saturday was, we were going to write, “exceptionally pleasant and harmonious”—but that would hardly be jnst; for the Democratic party of Rowan jn Convention have very sel- dom been otherwise.

Every man there seemed to feel he had a part to perform und with singleness of purpose performed it. With such har- mony and devotion to the principles of the Democratic party, comprising the manhood of the county, we have as- surance that the Democracy of Rowan are wide awake; and that when the time for action comes they will make themselves felt with an_ irresistable force.

HEAR JOHN HENDERSON. —_—__ Tax on Tobacco.—The Double-Dealing of the Republican Party. — - We have received the following letter fro Hon. John 9. Henderson, the brainy Represen- tative of the 7th District. Read it carefully ; he tells yau the truth: , Eprtor Westsenx SEXTINEL. Dear Sir;—In. response to your letter of the Tth inst. I will say— : 1. The Mills tariff bill, now being considered by the House, is a revenue measure relating both to the subjects of the tariff and of internal tixation. The annual tariff reductions propo- sed in that bill amount to $53,720,447.22. The proposed internal revenue reductions are esti- mated at $24,445,607. The total reductions proposed being $73,176,054.22. 2. The Mills bill proposes to repeal taxes on tobacco amounting to $19,640,712 Special taxes on retail liquor denlers, 4,587,268 Special taxes on retail dealers in malt liquors, 177,148 Special taxes on manufacturers of stills, &c., seal 46,758 Add for penalties and interest, —— $24,455,607 Total, The bill does not propose to repeal the taxes on cigars and cigaretts, nor the special tuxes imposed on manufacturers of cigars and on dealers in tobacco. The revenue derived from these sources last year amounted to $12,726.9..6. {f the Mills bill shall become a law, the gallon tax on spirits, including both whisky and bran- dy, will continue to be collected. 2. The bill also provides for the repeal of all restrictions on the sale of tobacco by the pro- ducer, and many of the most oppressive and yexatious provisions of the internal revenue system. If the bill becomes a law, the relief to the people of our State will be almost incalcu- lable. 4. It is impossible for any one to predict cer- tainly what will be the fate of the tariff bill. The friends of the measure are hopefnl of its passage. The Democratic majority in the House does not exceed twelve. if the Republicans vote solidly against the bill and seven Demo- crats vote with them, the bill cannot pass. It is very probable that the bill will be amended in the committee of the whole, in a number of particulars. In its present shape it is supposed that a number of Democrats would vote against it, including two or three from Pennsylvania, one or two from New Jersey, two or three from New York and two or three from Ohio. It is believed that,two Republicans from Minnesota, one from Wisconsin 2nd one from New York will support the bill. The margin cither way therefore is very narrow. 5. The Republicans have formulated no tariff bill of their own. As yet they have been un- able to agree among themselves. Since I have been in Congress no Republican has been will- ing to work for the repeal or modification of the internal revenue laws. On the 3d of March 1887, I called up a bill which I had introduced providing for a substantial modification of the whole internal revenue system. The vote stood as follows: Yeas, 139; 112. So two- thirds not having voted in favor thereof, the rules were not suspended and the bill was not passed. Only eight Republicans voted for the proposition, while only five Democrats voted against it. A similar bill was reported by me from the Judiciary Committee of the House on the 7th of F'cbruary 1888, and passed the House without a division. The bill was sent to the Scnate immediatety and on the 9th of February was referred by that body to the Committee on the Judiciary. That committee has not yet acted upon the bill. I do not think a Republi- can Senate will be likely to vote for the passage of any bill this session upon the subject of the tariff or internal revenue which will reduce taxation to any material extent or relieve the people from the oppressions under which they have been suffering and groaning for so many years. At the same time, I have not Tost hope. I think the tobacco tax, at least to the extent of tlie reductions proposed in the Mills bill, will be abolished, even if that measure should be defeated. I do not believe that the House will refuse to consider a measure of that sort, the propricty and justice of which has been endors- ed by all parties and faciories, even thongh every proposition for tariff revision should fail. nays, My public duties are so exacting that I hope you will be content with this hurried note. Yours truly, JOHN S. HENDERSON. TT Oe A Great Indorsement. Buffalo Courier. Roscoe Conklin expressed himself in private conversation to a friend thus concerning the political — situation, whieh remains unchanged: “To judge of the caliber of the men now leading the Republican party, you need only to read John Sherman's speech attacking the President’s message. In the first place, the message is criticised by thece Republican orators on the greund that t is free trade, a ridiculous and falla- cious and deceptive criticism. Every disinterested citizen knows only too well that of all the statesmanlike utter- ances of the past six months the Presi- dent’s message takes the first place. The pronunciamento that followed it from a wonderful American statesman in Paris was buncombe, and Mr. Sher- man’s effort was no better. In the sec- ond place, Mr. Sherman can find only one other ground on which to abuse the message—the President recom- mends economy!” eee There will not be a full apple crop in Forsyth, not on account of frost but on account of a smaller amount of bloom than usual.— People’s Press. ~_ s 9 Congress. e as follows:: - tenant Governor; H.

Now, of clocks I a large assortment have got, That must go and go cheap for cash on the spot; In nickle, wood, and marbleised iron, A}l the lacest designs you surely will find, From the little tick tick to the big tock tock. The prices are low, in fact very low, Considering the quality and finish; Why for$1 25 who can’t have the boar, And keep up with the times and his neighbor? The days are now here wheu your time is quite dear, So get you a clock, that on time you may steer. [have clocks for all people, the rich and the poor, From $1.25 to $15 in store. And clocks—what is clocks—nothing less, nothing more, And that for the cash they pass out of my door. So come along all and a bargain secure And see to the letter if 1 could not more.

In small tabular crystals, with pyro- morphite aud mazuese ores in Cabarrus county. The laminated and coarsely granular white variety in Cabarrus coun- ty; a vein of the coarsely laminated, greyish white barite, in Orange county. It occurs in Union, Gaston, Madison and Wilkes. 158. ANGLESITE. In small tabular rhombic prisms, with very few additional planes in the brown granular zincblende of Silver Hill, Da- vidson; also in Caldwell county. 159. CROCOITE. I have observed this rare mincral in small cavities, of saccharvidal quartz, from Nash county. 160. MELANTERITE. As the result of the decomposition of pyrite, disseminated through many of the mica slates, etc., of Rutherford, Cleve- land and others, melanterite or copperas is formed, but no good crystallized speci- mens have come to my notice. 161. GOSLARITE. In the water of the Silver Hill mine, also in fine fibrous crystalline masses upon sphalerite in Cabarrus county. 162. CHALCANTHITE. Very fine crystals were formerly ob- tained from the upper works of the Silver Hill mine, Davidson county, prin- cipally at the sixty feet level. 163. ALUNOGEN. Is found abundantly associated with inelanterite, in Rutherford, Cleveland and other counties, but not in good spec- liumens; also in Iredell and Catawba couuties. 164. JAROSITE.

This very rare tellurate of bismuth has ; been found with tetradymite in David- ison, and in Burke county, The yellow oxide of bismuth, observed in Gaston county, may belong to this species. 6. CARBONATES. 166. CALCITE. The granular varieties are found in Stokes, Catawba, Lincoln and Gaston counties. A course granular limestone occurs also in Macon, Jackson and Mad- ison counties. A veined grey and white marble is found in Catawba county. Very beautiful varieties of white, pink and grey marble are found abundantly at the Nantehaleh river, Marble creck, Valley river, and other places in Chero- kee county. A band of compact lime- stone, sometimes finely granular, is found in McDowell, Jackson, Transylvania and Henderson and Madison counties. 167. DOLOMITE. Granular dolomite of a greyish white color, resembling marble, is found in fine crystals in Alexander county. 168. MAGNESITE. The lamellar white and greyish variety, fiom which distinct cleavage crystals can be obtained, is found in Cabarrus county; also, with chrysolite in Jackson and Yancey. At the latter locality are also found the white compact, and at Webster, the white earthy and pulveru- lent varities. Breunerite occurs in ser- pentine, in Burke county, and near Dob- son in Surry, 169. SIDERITE. In fine rhombohedral crystals in Guil- ford county. Itis of frequent occurrence in many of the gold veins of the State. It often forms almvst the whole mass of the veins; for instance in Davidson county, and in Gaston couny, at some of the mines in Randolph and Cabarrus counties. It has been observed in Stokes, Mecklenburg and in Alexander counties. A white cleavable variety occurs near Charlotte. ‘The earthy and argillaceous varieties of siderite form large beds in ‘the Triassic coal strata in Chatham. 170. RHODOCHR®SITE, In small globular pink and rose-red concretions, in Macon and Cabarrus counties. 171. CERUSSITE. ; The most beautiful crystallizations, have been found at Silver Hill, also- white, yellowish and greenish white, compact varieties. A .very interesting occurrence at the same mine is cerussite, pseudomorphous after pyrite. It also occurs in Gaston, Chatham, Caldwell, Cherokee and Wilkes. 172. MALACHITE. Malcanite is found in association with copper ores in almost every copper mine in the State. Pseudomorphs of mala- chite, after cubical cuprite, have been found in Cabarrus county. 173. AZURITE. This variety of carbanate of copper is far less frequently met with. Small but very beautiful and perfect crystals are found in Chatham and in Moore. It is also found in Cabarrus, Mecklenburg and Gaston, 174. BISMUTITE. In yellowish white concretions, often of a pearly lustre or white incrustations upon gold-bearing quartz, in Gaston county. >: MINERAL COAL. 175. ANTHRACITE. A very interesting occurrence of an- thracite is that of masses with couchoid- al fracture in the vien rock at the Clegg Mine in Chatham county. . 176. BITIMINOUS COAL. The greater portion of the coal in the Deep river beds is bituminous. — The Dan river coal is so-called semi-bituminous coal. [Later discoveries prove this de- posit fay more valuable than it has been given credit for.—ED. ] 177. LIGNITE OR BROWN COAL. Frequently met with in the marl beds of the tern counties, and in Granville and Anson counties. ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. 178. SUCCINITE. Found in lumps, of several ounces weight, in Pitt county and elsewhere, in the ‘Tertiary marl beds of the Eastern counties, This completes the recorded list of minerals found in the State.

A haggard-looking tramp stopped at a house in Kentucky and called for the wa “landlord.” Old Major Bow!es, a well- E known character in Central Kentucky, atepped out on the gallery and ina rather ungenile voice demanded: “What do you want here, sah?”?

An Oid Maik Prejudice Which is Being Snrmounted Rapidly. The prejudice onee entertained against literary ladies bas long since been surmounted; the famous passage at arms between George Sand and her mother-in-law is alrcaly recalled by most people with amazement; even the most fastidious relations in these days would be proud rather than ashamed of seeing their daughter’s or sister's name ‘on the cover of printed books,” But it is otherwise with regard to indus- ‘trial callings, and the most daring in- novation in England at this moment is the lady shopkeeper. At present but few women have had the courage to brave the current social prejudice. We draw sech fine distinetions between wholesale and retail traders that our /eotton spinners, calico makers and _ gencral merchants seem to think they belong to a totally different sphere, from which they look down ‘on the lady who has had sufficient brains, capital and courage to open a shop. That an artist should: sell her ‘own paintings in her own studio is proper and becoming, but many people are shocked at the lady who trades in paintings done in other studios. But the Old World moves faster than it did in former days, and before the end of the nineteenth century itis probable a gentlewoman will be recognized in spite of her having entered on commercial pursuits, especially as we are growing accustomed to see scions of our noblest families on oue Stock Exchange and in tea merchants’ houses: one peer of the realm is now doing an extensive busi- ness in coals and another is a cab pro- prictor. After speaking of the business sue- cess achicved by the Hon. Mrs. Maher- ley in her London milk-shop and of the reputation and wealth acquired by Miss Charlotte Robinson as a house decor- ator, Miss Faithfull concludes: “Jhe more highly educated our women of business are the better for themselves, their work and the whole community. Many of the professions to which ladies have hitherto turned | are overcrowded, and when once the fear of losing social position is boldly disregarded, it will be found that com- mervial life offers variety of more or less lucrative emplyyment to ladies of birth aud capital, who tind it more con- genial to their tastes and requirements to invest their money and spend their energies in a business which yields a fair return, rathcr than sit at home content with a scanty pittance and a colorless, monotanoue lifa’’—Emi Faith futl ana Twinks.

Bryant. merce Senator Vance has reviewed the tariff qnestion in his letters to the Baltimore Sw more thor- oughly, we be.icve, than any one who has yet made it astudy. He has inves tigated it in all its various bearings, and his arguments have been clear and undeniable. Tle has rendered a most valuable service to the consumers of manufactured products, who are made, through the operations of the tariff, the burden bearers of the government. Will they see ity Will they look at it with the personal interest its impor- tance demands ” We subjoin the closing paragraphs of the Senator's tenth letter, and ask 4 for them the perusal of all who read this paper: Who is injured by protection? ‘To this question it may be answered, every one who is not benefited, Protection can only benefit anybody, as has been shown, by increasing the prices of those things which they have to sell. Now, if it increased likewise the price of that whieh they had to buy, the one would set off the other, and there would be no benefit at all. Surely this is self- evident. To make protection a benefit to somebody, therefore, it must, inthe ne- cessity of things, either increase the price of their products, leaving the price of their purchases the same, or it must maintain the priee of their sales and lower that of their purchases. Hf it does neither it does nothing; if it does either it injures somebody. every man there- fore, in the United States is injured who, having (by protection) the cost raised of all which he has to buy. does not also, by the same faw, have the price of all that he has to sell increased to the same ex- tent. First and foremost, then, it injur- es all who only consume and do not pro- duce. As they have nothing to sell, but all their transactions are purchase, it is impossible to compensate them for their losses by the inerease in prices, This large class includes the professions, mer- chants, all persons engaged in) transpor- tation, personal and government service, women, orphan children, and all who live on fixed incomes, and thelike., Per- haps, however their injury is not so great as that done to the farmers and planters, for though the expenditure of the first- named is increased by protection, their incomes are not necessarily diminished. But with the farmer bothare doue. The price of his purchases is increased, and being compelled to sell. his surplus pro- duets in the markets of nations who can- not exchange with us on equal terms, the prices are necessarily Jowered and his income is thereby lessened. He is wasting at both the spigot and the spile. There is no proposition more obviously just than that when the farmer is forced to send for sale his wheat, his meat and his cotton to Europe, when the price is fixed for him by the competition of the world, he should be permitted to buy his supplies of wool and iron and the like in the self-same markets at prices regulated by the same competiticn. I have seen it stated by reputable au- thority that in many portions of India recently opened up by railroads wheat is profitably grown at a Cost of five shill- ings per quarter of eight bushels! In competition with this “pauper “-orown wheat our Western farmers have to sell their wheat, produced at a cost at least three timesas great. British capital was put into these railroads, and these cheap wheat lands of India were developed be- eause England could not) get her bread from our prairies in exchange for her manufactured goods, the tariff wall for- bidding. she would gladly nave fed her people from the riches of our plains ifshe could, but all foreign commerce 1s CX: change, and protection forbids exchange. The story of cotton is the same, The planter sells it in Liverpool in competi- tion with that grown in ail parts of the earth, at the lowest figure for which human labor can be induced togrow it. But heis not permitted to buy even the jute bagging and the irou ties which en- Yelop2 it in the same market cheapened in the same way. The price of those things is fixed by baving turiff duties to anit the American manufacturer. So it ig with nearly everything produced by those who till the earth and create food orthe material of raiment. They are made the patient victims of tariff taxi- tion. whose toil goes to enrich the fow who control our legislature. in order to keep them in quiet submission the keenest intollect of the land is employed and paid for with the farmers’ own money. They are plied with a thousand false argumeu:s and exploded theories; their national pride is appealed +0, and mean prejudices are excited against for- eign natioas simply bovactae they have eames Ose! tic tec “payer | 14 SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1888. applied to every laborer upon earth ex- cept those employed in our p country, and ‘British gold” is said by the slave-traders to bribe every man who refuses to help them steal; revenue tariff men are called ‘“‘free-traders;’’ so bold has become robbery that honesty has thus beeome a reproach, and political partisan hostility is freely and success- fully invoked. In this way these iniqui- ties have been enacted and maintained until the task of removing them has become a revolution which it will require a generation of agitation to accomplish. But it will be done. To doubt itis to question the strength of justice and im- pugn our civilization. Even the last appeal, that against the disturbing vest- ed interests, which it so effectually made, will lose its power to stay the hand of reform. For men will come to agree with Bastiat that because wrong has been permitted to exist for a moment is no reason why it should endure to eter- nity. Nor does the fact that wrong is profitable to its perpetrators give it any further or stronger sanction to immortal- ity. Truth and justice are entitled to live foreyer. The most feasible hope of this refor- mation appears to me to liein the West and South. These sections of our coun- try are natural allies, who are only kept from co-operation by lingering war mem- ories and the partisan political feeling which Eastern protectionist republicans so artfully invite. The chief interest of cach is agricult- ural, and their productions supplement each other. Their pursuits engender the same ideas and suggest the same conser- vative policy. If once theinconsiderable barriers which separate them could be broken down and unity of action secur- ed, their power would be sufficient to re- form the evils of tariff legislation with ease and certainty. In fact their might. would only need to be seen; it would scarcely be required to be exercised. It is not & pleasant sounding thing to advise the combination of sections or classes against other sections, or classes of a common country, but as they are al- ready formed for aggression it becomes not only excu-able, but a positive dyty to form them for defense. The manufacturers are few in number; they are persons ofgreat intelligence and energy, and they are grouped together in the great business centres of the coun- try. With them, therefore concert of action is easily effected, aud interets naturally prompts to these combination to regulate prices,” smother competition and influence legislation. Those who are to be fleeced, on the contrary, ure many in number; they embrace all the poor and the ignorant; are widely scat- cred far and near throughout the broad land, and with communication rare and most imperfect. With them combina- tion and unanimity ofaction is next thing tothe impossible. It isthe case of a small but compactly and organized army destroying a great unarmed, unorganiz- ed mob. The only possible way in which these incoherent victims of unjust and unequal taxation can make their united might felt in the legislation of their country isto align them on principle by indoctrinating them with the true theory of taxation, such as is befitting a country that professes to be free, and by dissemineting those immutable principl- es of political economy which have been established by the experience of man- kind, and which are as much God’s laws as tbe law of gravitation, for they are trne, and all truth is his, An able man hassaid that our motto in this great fight should be sit lux. Tctus give the people light indeed, and especially the toiling masses of the great West and South, who are furthest removed from those influences which obscure the light, and good results will be seen. Let no man tire of “talking tariff.’ Let no man weary of urging the vital necessity of re- form in taxation on his neighbor until this last vestige of slavery shall be abol- ished and the commerce of the great republic shall be free as the necessities of the government will permit, anc its laws look to no other interest under heaven save only that of the public. Z. B. VANCE. — ~~ , The Young Democracy. The State Chronicle pays a high tribute to the young Democracy of North Carolina in these words: While the Chronicle would not underiate in any degree the long and effective service which was rendered by the older Democracy in the trying years afver the war when they so glori- ou ly releemed the State from Radical rule, nor during recent years when they have sc steadfastly held the vic- tory then gained, we desire to pay a ‘ust tribute to the young Democrats of © orth Carolina who always throw them- selves into the contest with an enthu- siastm born of devotion to the prinei- ples of the Democratic party. They love the party and its glorious history and burn with indignation when they recall the wrongs which were heaped upon us by the Republican party in the day of its triumph. ‘They remember that when the peo- ple of the South and particularly of our own State, humiliated by defeat, with poverty and desolation staring them in the face, and when we were bravely setting ourselves to work to baild up our waste places and start again upon the race of life, and when we were in need of sympathy and help, this Radical partySinstead of aiding in that work, stole the hard earned taxes, levied upon a poverty stricken people, and set its iron heel of oppression on our breast. ‘They can never forget the days of terror when no woman 10 the Kast was safe from the hand of the ruffian negroes who prowled through the country and, unrestrained by fear of punishment, perpetrated outrages which made civilization pale and fear destruction was athand. They cannot forget that the Radical officials let crime run riot and encouraged and protected the violators of law; while our best and truest citizens were hunted by armed men and east into dumgeous with the basest criminals. and when 4 at defiance by a brutal soldier, upheld by a Republican Governor, and com- pelled to confess itself powerless to protect the citizens. They cannot forget that era of de- banchery and theft, when legislation was bought and sold, and when, made rich by illgotten gain, the Radical crew fared sumptuously and rioted extrava- gantly at the expense of our stricken land. The young men of North Carolin do not desire office. They seldom ask a nomination. But with an earnest- ness born of intense conviction, they fight Radicalism and advocate the. con- tinuance of Democratic supremacy as the only hope of preserving the good naine of their State and the happiness of its people. They feel in their in- most hearts, with the keenest encum- brance of evils long ago inflicted but the memory of which can never de, that the greatest disgrace which could come upon them would be the return of radical supremacy and its insepara- ble concomitant of negro rule. Not that they entertain enmity to the ne- gro as such but the experience of the past has taught that when ignorance rules the people mourn, and that a party made up of negroes, with now and then a white leader, who uses them as he will to promote his own unscrupulous and ambitious schemes, can never be successful but at the sac- rifice of the best interests of the com- munity. The young white men of North Carolina, and one can seldom be found who.is not a Democrat, cannot now nor can they ever consent that the Republican party shall return to power, until the rank and file of that party shall become as intelligent, as virtuous and as capable of exercising the rights of citizens a3 are the Demo- cratic voters, nor until there is more honesty and character exhibited by the leaders of that party. They believe most earnestly that the legislation of such a party, tive-sixths of which consists of negroes, managed and controlled by the leaders now at its head, could not but be dangerous to the State and they have fears that such legislation would be reckless, corrupt and ruinous to the interests of the people. They have seen what Radicalism did in the past and they will never trust it in thé future. Hence it is the young men of North Carolina will walk in their father's footsteps and, with all the energy, earnestness and enthusi- asm of their nature, labor untiringly to prevent the disgrace which always threatens but which can never over- whelm us as long as the brave and noble young manhood of North Caro- lina shall stand up in its invincible strength and do battle for the honor and safety and prosperity of the State. Senator Blair's Bill. TO PROMOTE THE OBSERNANCE OF the SABBATH DAY. WasHINGToN, May 21.—Senator Blair's bill introduced to-day “to secure to the people the enjoyment of this first day of the week, commonly called the Lord’s day, as a day of rest, and to provide its observance as a day of re- ligious worship,” provides that no _per- son or corporation shall perform or authorize any secular work, labor or business to the disturbance of others— work of necessity, mercy and humani- ty excepted—nor shall any person en- gage in any play, game, amusement or recreation to the disturbance of others, on the first day of the week in any place subject to the exclusive jurisdic- tion of the Uniteg States; and it is made unlawful for any person or cor- poration to receive pay for labor or ser- vice rendered in violation of this pro- vision.

TWO MEN AT BALDWIN WHO WERE NOT AFRAID TO FACE DEATH. On the 12th day of June, 1863, 1 witnessed a duel between Capt. Jones, commanding a Federal scout, and Capt. Fry, commanding a Confederate scout, in Green county, East Tennessee. These two men had been fighting each other for six months, with the fortunes of battle in favor of one and then the other. Their commands were camped on either side of Lick Creek, a large and sluggish stream, too deep to ford, and to shallow for a ferry boat; but a bridge spanned the stream for the convenience of the traveling public. Each of them guarded this bridge that communication should go neither North nor South, as the railroad track had been broken up months before. After fighting each other several months and contesting the points as to which should hold the bridge, they agreed to fight a duel, the conqueror to hold the bridge, undisputed for the time being. Jones gave the challenge, and Fry accepted. The terms were that they should fight with navy pis- tols at twenty yards apart, deliberately walking toward each other, and firing until the last chamber of their pistols were discharged, unless one or the other fell before all the discharges were made. They chose their seconds, and agreed upon a Confederate surgeon (as he was the only one in e:ther com- mand) to attend them in case of dan- ger. Jones was certainly a fine looking fellow, with light huir and blue eyes, five feet ten inches in height, looking every inch the military Cheiftain. He was a man the soldiers would admire. and Jadies regarded with admiration, I never saw a man more cool, deter- mined and heroic under sueh circum- stances. I have read of the deeds of chivalry and knight crrantry in the middle ages, and brave nen embalnid in modern posey; but, when I saw Jonescome to the duelists’ scratch. fighting, not for real or supposed wrongs to himself, but, ashe honestly thought, fo: his country and the glory of the flag, I could not help admiring the man, notwithstanding he fought for the freedom ot the negro, which I was opposed to. Fry wasa man fall six feet high, slender, with long wavy curly hair, jet black eyes, wearing a slouched hat and gray suit, and looking rather the dem- on than the man. There was nothing ferocious about him; but he had that self-safficien non-chalance that said. “1 will kill you.’ Without a doubt he was brave, cool and collected, and although suffering from a terrible flesh wound in his left arm, received a week before, he manifested no symptoms of distress, but seemed ready for the fight. The ground wa; stepped off by the seconds, pistols loaded and exchanged, aad the principals brought face to face. I never shall forget that meet- ing. Jones, in his military, boyish mood, as they shook hands remarked that— A soldier braves death for a fanciful wreath When in glory’s romantic career. Fry caught up the rest of the sen- tence and answered by saying : Yet he bends over the foe when in battle laid low, And bathes every wound tear. They turned around and walked back to the point designated. Jones’ seco.:d had the word “Fire,” and as he slowly said, “One—two--three —fire .” they simultaneously turned at the word “One,” and instantly fired, Nei- ther was hurt. They cocked their pis- tols, and deliberately walked toward each other, firing as they went. \t the tiftu shot, Jones threw up his right hand, and firing his pistol in the air. sankdown. Fry was in the act of fir- ing his shot; but, seeing Jones fall, silently Jowered his pistol, dropped 1 on the ground, and spranz to Jones side, taking his head in his lap as he sat down, and asked him if he was hart. I discovered that Jones. was shot through the region of the stomach, the bullet glancing around the organ, and coming out to the left of the spinal column ; besides he had received three other frightful flesh wounds in othe portions of the body. I dressed is wounds and gave him such stimulants as Thad. He afterwards got well. Fry received three wounds—one breaking his right arm, one in the left. and the other in right side.

The Senator svauts an amendment to the Constitu- tien by which it will only require a majority to overrule the veto of the President. He says Mr. Cleveland has vetoed 133 bills and refused to sign tifty others since he has been President. Of this number we remember many were private pension bills which, upon careful investigation, were found to be fraudulant—trumped up by pension agents who were trying to fill their own pockets ut the expense of the people. “Tue Acapemy.”—A friend has sent us the April and May Nos. of this in- teresting and beantifully gotten up monthly, issued from Salem, N. €.

The immense ee ae Music, nae its seating capacity of. ever 3,500; was jam to ais and every inch of duandieyeese .was occupied by a struggling mass of humuni- ty, anxious to have. part inthe first reunion of the two great bodies of the Presbyterian Church 4n America since the division more than a quar- ter of a century ago. . In the Academy of Music, Rev. J.J. Bulloch, D. D., Moderator of the Southern General As- sembly, presided, and seated with him on the platform, were Rev. Wm. H. Roterts, D. D., stated clerk of the Northern General Assembly; Rev. Joseph T. Smith, D. D., of Baltimore, ex- Moderator of the Northern Assembly ; Rev. Jas. Cosh, D. D., ex-President of Princeton College; Rev. John Hall, D. D..of New York; Rev. Theo. L. Cuyler, D. D., of New York; Rev. J.D. Wells, of Brooklyn; Rev. Charles H. Stoddard, editor of the New York Observer; Rev. George Baker, D. D., of Philadelphia; Rev. R. M. Patterson, D. D.; editor of the Presbyterian Journal; Hon. Wm. Strong, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court, and many other prominent members of the Nor- thern branch._ -The great audience was apparently made up in equal proportion from representatives of the two Assemblies, and when Rev. Dr. Bullock was introduced as presiding officer there weré thunders of applause. He was‘prosented by Dr Smith, ex-Moderator of the Northern Assembly, and when Dr. Smith said in welcoming the Southern guests that the audience should re- member that members of both theze assemblies were Presbyterians above all things, and that the brethren from the South had crossed Mason and Dixon’s line almost withoyt knowing where the division was; and there was another round of enthusiastic applause. They were, he said, of the same ancestry, the same faith, the same glorious history. - Then 5,000 people rose and sang “PraiseGod from whom all blessiags flow. Dr. Bullock, as representative of the Southern Assembly, in a brief but eloquent address, cor- dially reciprocated the fraternal sentiments of the brethren from the North,and said that whatever might be the final disposition of the question of organic union, there was no feeling of alienation or prejudice or want of faith in the doctrines of their sister Assembly. There was no obstacle that he knew to fraternity and fellowship. , Then the congregation sang ‘“‘ All people that on the earth do dwell,” and ~All hail the pow- er of Jesus’ name.” Rev. Dr. Engler, of Brooklyn, was the first orator, and spoke for an hour op the History of Presbyterianism. The ‘‘ Work of Presbyterian- ism for the Future,’ was the subject of an ad- dress by T. D. Witherspoon, of Louisville, Ky. A great audience also crowded Horticultural Hall, adjoining the Academy, and here, too, there was the same commingling of blue badg- es of the Northern Assembly, and the blue and white of representatives of the Southern branch. The same fraternal feeling was manifest among the commissioners of both bodies. Kev. Dr. C. L. Thompson, of Kansas City, Moderator of the Northern Assembly, was‘in the chair, and seat- ed on the platform were eminent divines representing both branches. The opening cer- emonies was brief but fervent, and when Mode- rator Thompson introduced Congressman Wm. ©. Breckenridge, of Lexington College, there was much enthusiasm. He spoke on “ Calvan- ism and Religious Liberty,’ and cloquently sketched the work of the Church in advancing civilization and great moral truth. His refer- ences to Church union were received with ex- treme warmth. When he had finished there was a whirlwind of applause. address on ‘‘Prgsbyterianisin and Biblical Schol- arship.” . The Academy and Horticultural Hall were both jammed this afternoon, although rain was falling heavily at 3 o'clock, the hour at which the ceremonies of the re-union celebration were resumed. Hon. William Strong, ex-Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, was in the chair at thé Acade- my. Around him wete grouped some of the many distinguished Presbyterian divines and by men of both General Assemblies. The first speaker was Hon. John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, who spoke on the ‘‘ Adap- tation of Presbyterianism to the Masses.”’— Atheism, he said, was the negative of religion, and with this as a text he argued that reason and religion together required an acceptance of the doctrine of God as a Spirit, infinite in pow- er; and faith in God is the conservator of all religious*forces. The entire address was a the- ological analysis of the religious system that shows that all things work together for good to them that love God, and repudiated every phase of skepticism, infidelity and agnosticism. *Cal- vin may be our father, but Paul was our grand- father,” was a sentiment that brought out a round of applansc. President Cleveland spoke to the two Presby- ‘| terian assemblies in Philadelphia Tuesday. He said “Tam very munch gratified at the oppor- tunity bere afforded me to mcet the representa- tives of the Presbyterian church. Srrely a man never should lose his interest in the wel- fare of the church in which he was reared; and yet I will not find fault with any if you deem it a sad confession made when I acknow- ledge that I must recall the days now long past to find any closest relation to the grand and noble denomination which you represent. I. say this because those of us who inherit fealty to our church as I @d, begin early to learn those things which make us Presbyterians all the days of ‘our lives, and thus it is that the rigors of our early teachings, by which we are grounded in our lasting allegiance, are espe- cially vivid and are the best remembered. The attendance upon church sérvices three times each Sunday, and upon Sabbath School during the noon intermission, may be irksome enough to a boy of ten or twelve years of age, to be well fixed in his memory, but I have never known a man who regretted those things in the years of his maturity. The shorter catechism, though thoroughly studied and learned, was not perhaps at the time perfectly understood, and yet in the stern labors and dutics of after life those are not apt to be worst citizens who were early taught “ what is the chief end of man.” —- An Eastern Democrat nominates Judge Shepperd for Supreme Court Judge. —_——_—_~>-> -—___ We generally hate those wkom we have injured more than we do those whe have injured us.

Nestling at the foot of the grand old Alleghany and Blue Ridge mountains, in the renowne Valley of Virginia, where the scegery is as picturesque and lovely as that of Switzerland, and the climate unsurpassed on the continent of America. being bed for its equabili y— the summers seldom too warm, and the winters mild—is a beautiful and thriving little village, encircled by out-lying ranges of mountains forming a perfect ‘*horseshee” ia appearance, und a a seene ef marvelous beauty and interest. Situated on the suharbs of the ‘City .f Peace,” (for so this moral little town ix called,) is a noted institution of learning, “The College,” where many young men annually come to reccive instru tio from able and venerable professors. ‘Ihe “City of Peace”. has other auxiliaries of avealth and happiness: the romantic re- gion and healthful, salubrious climate exerts a refining influence on the popula- tion, giving the religious tone, and high moral charaeter to the intelligent inhab- itants—her christian society, handsome church edifices, faithful ministers, he: able bar, fine "business houses, splendid hotels, her reseryoir, water-works and printing presses. Within a stone’s throw of the village a pearly stream flows placidly along to- wards the broad Atlantic, bearing the beautiful Indian name, Roanoke, signi- fying ‘‘shell- money,’ and never was a river more appropriately named, as it’s mossy banks are richly adorned with flowers—wild honeysuckles, jassemines and ferns—asveet cresses and lilies kiss the rippling water as it meanders grace- fully through the valley over the beds of shells and sparkling stones. In it’s sunny waters the lazy turtle sleeps, and in it’s shadowy depths varieties of the finny tribe sport—the cat-fish, red eye, trout pearch, carp and black-bass; occasionally the slippery eel swallows the baited hook and is “ brought to light’’ much to the disgust of old anglers. Two beauti- ful lakes of living water lie on the very border of the town, thoroughly equipped with pleasure “boats, canoes, ete., and from a music stand erected on an eleva- tion between them zephyrs waft the sweetest strains from Silver Cornet Band and Italian Harps every summer eve- ning. This ‘‘musie in the air” is the signal that summons the lovers of the art Terpsichorean, as well as other lovers to this enchanted ground, where old and young are alike welcome; for it is within the corporate limits of the town, and free to all it’s citizens. Above and beyond this glorious landscape arise the lofty peaks of Otter, McIfee Knob, Twelve O'clock Knob, and other magnificent mountains. In the very heart of the village resided one of the most influential business men, a native of Virginia; proud of his pious and noble lineage; his father, Rev. J. B. Wren, D. D.; his paternal grandfather, Rev. K. B. Wren; his maternal grand- father, Rev. R. H. Harrison, D. D., and his great-grandfather Rev. G. L. Hooper. The family for five generations fen never lacked a son to proclaim from the pulpit or sacred desk the doctrines of the Presbyterian church, and proclaim the xood news of salvation through a cruci- tied Redeemer. Col. Wren lived with his family, consisting of only four mem- hers, father, mother, brother and sister. His mansion had weathered the storms ef nalf a century, but having been subsian- tially built, time had made no impression onit. It was large, confortable and eon- veniently arranged. Beautiful flowers and lovely shade trees adorned the front yard. In this paradise seemingly sur- rounded by all that heart could wish to make a young person happy, dwelt Birdie Wren, a fair and gentle maiden who had just reached that lovely time, that sweet tic age, when childhood’s merry laughter yields to girlhood’s softer tone, “she was all simplicity, A creature soft and mild— Tho’ on the eve of womanhood, In heart a very child.” When but a wee thing, a baby in her nurse’s arms, they had nicknamed her Birdie,” because of her bright sunny face and joyous di<position. irdie was a zealous member of the “Church of her fathers,’ bore an active part in the vari- ous home and missionary societies. Her’s was the Bauuer class in the Sab- bath school, and she had won the several prizes offered ‘‘to the most diligent students of the Bible’—some of her associates mischievously dubbing her “Miss Bible Concordance,” of which title she may have been justly proud: She had also received prizes for the perfect recitation of the Long and ‘Shorter Ch itechisms.”’ In the year of grace, 1868, a young mau not yet ninetecn years of age, enter- e1 the College and matriculated. Charles Mo itrose Vevable. He wasatrucson of Virginia, the home of the free, sweet land A sinly & The seal of genius was on his brow; his dark grey or hazel ey es’ sweet expression; his deep-toned melo- (ious voice, speaking guestures, charm- ing delivery and eloquent words, soon won him the reputation among his colle- xiates of being a natural orator, for Ii stature majestic apart from the throng, He stood in his beauty the theme of my song. Like Saul of old, ‘head and shoulders above all other men :” and seemed to be one of the few immortals not born to die. At the opening of the story Birdie’s grandfather, Rev, J. B. Wren, D. D., was pastor of the Presbyterian church, whose wife had invited some of the young peo- ple of the town to a sociable at the Manse. Among the guests were Birdie und Mr. Venable. They were not pérsonally acquainted, but members of a secret little “* Mutual Administration Society,” a spiritual link connecting them; and now they were brought face to face and formally introduced by their admirable hostess. They were svon chatting merrily, each well ehaers with the other. “The hours | like birds flew by, as lightly and as free,” ull supper was announced and Birdie’s oe ee invited her into e dining room. © excused herself to Mr. Venable and disappeared. In the midst of the feast Mr. Veustlie Tqach- ed, eee hand an erquisitively wrought si Slled with delicious oe p-oducet looking arably face of her vis-a-vis said, upfortamate as to less on let’s try another, and the chances. and sno handed him the whieu, witha aicaning exeressin. “tf another raisin and ince te a have al He smilingly acquiesced, the twin-raisins, | OU These Oe countenance he deposited in his pocket beok, @ arking, ‘Thank jo: kindly, I'll keep these us a sovenir.” Birdie’s rosy cheeks took on a rosier hue at. this surprise, and looking up she saw his handsome gyes looking softly, tenderly into her ewn. All passed off charming- ly at ‘‘the party,” and each returned to his or her respective domicile. As Birdie sat alone pondering over the many pleasing events of the evening, the inci- dent that impressed her most agreeably was the act, accompanied by the look that Mr. Venable bestowed upon her when he took the raisins from her hand. She fancied for a moment it might be “ flat- tery” on his part, and being an April- hearted little woman her dark and dreamy eyes filled with tears. “Like dew-drops frum a golden star, Or perfume froin a rose.” She felt that 2 new beauty and a mis- tery, a wondrous change had come over the spirit of her dream, and she did not understand why tears should gem her eye, or sighs escape her heart. But doubting was too painful: “ Her bosom was a soft retreat For love, and love alone; And yet her heart had never beat To love’s delicicius tone. It dwelt within its circle free From tender thoughts like these, Waiting the little deity, As the blossom waits the breeze, Before it throws the leaves apart, @ And trembles like thé love touched heart.” While wondering in an ideal world, she fell asleep, and on the wings of slum- bering fancy, was wafted to the sunny banks of the beautiful river where the water-lilies grow. She dreamed that Mr. Venable and herself were walking on it’s shore, the pelucid, rippling waves almost touching their feet, when suddenly he threw the two raisons far out into the stream, say- ing: ‘Birdie, let's try our fortune; if they swim we will go through life firm friends; if they sink we will fall out by the way.’ They watched them with interest, and altho’ they sank and swam alternately for a time, yet as far as the eye could discerp, they were still close together, though bobbing up and down as they followed the course of thestream. Early the following morning Birdie awoke and looking out of her window she saw her new acquaintance slowly walking up the hill towards the ceme- tery, and she fancicd he looked pensive. While she stood spell bound gazing after him, he turned and looked up at her window and gracefully lifted his hat. she wondered if he thought it @ cotnei- dence to be remembered, that they should have both ‘‘arisen with the lark,” and seen each other, aye, spoken to each other, and best of all, smiled on each other, she from her window, he from the street below, at five o’clock in the morn- ines While thus idly dreaming, she softly began to hum an old song she had sung many timesto her friendg, but never before realized the force of the sentiment: “T think of you in the day time, I dream of you by night,” ete. : By this time Mr. Venable was strolling through the Cemetery. His thoughts were at the Manse with the vision of the night before. He recalled the slender girlish form, tall and graceful; her nut- brown hair and laughing eyes roguishly peering into hix. He remembered how she modest!ty blushed when with her own lily-white hand she offered hin the two raisins; and how a tender little look of surprise came into her sweet face and merry eyes when he told her he would “keep them as a sovenir.”” He began to revel in an ideal world, that brightest of all others, which exerts its influerce and leaves it’s trace upon our spiritual nature, indellible as the physical influenecs of time on the material body. In the air- castles he built, he unconsciously peo- pied them all with the litule fairy; him- elf and she the central subjeets of a bliss surpassing every conception of bis pre- vious life. He could think of nothing himming that old song, “Her bright smile haunts me still.” Then his face saddened as he quoted the words: “Whom first we love, you know, we seldom wed. ‘Time rules us all. And life indeed is not the thing we planned it out.” He meditated awhile as he wandered among tombs, and when he retraced his steps he said to himself, * I know I Joved Birdie at first sight. 1 know also that this is my first experience of the kind, and that “women eanvot choose their lots in life,” ‘tis man’s ex- clusive privilege. I'll choose Miss Wren, and win her if possible; and then imagination built up a home dedicated to her, wherein unallowed felicity crowned them, and made it a delightful retreat for visiting friends. He slowly walked back towards his boarding-house, returning by the resi- dence of Col. Wren. Birdie was in the front yard gathering roses for a friend who had requested a few to wear to a wedding that day; and she wished them plucked while the dew was on them. She handed a half blown rose to Mr. Venable, for he had stopped at the gate and said: * Beautiful flowers! I would be proud of one, Miss Wren.” ~The rose Was pure white, fragrant and dew-im- pearled, and as he took it, expressing thanks, moved on. He called .to see her next day, and after that passed many hours in her society. He was a brilliant conversationalist ; and although she had many admirers, she esteemed none more highly than he. Often they wandered together along the beautifulshore of the river, gathering shells and water lilies, and when the noon shone brightest they joined the multitude that went sailing on the lake, One sweet evening at twilight, when ~ Luna” in all her glory and efful- Fone turned the lake into a sea of gold, irdic and Mr. Venable found them- selves in a little bark a few yar@s from the throng. . Ten thousand stars were in the sky, Ten thousand on the sea; : For every wave with diinpled face, That leaped upon the air i Had caught a star in its embrace, And held it trembling there.” [YO BE CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK. ] ee eae Sam Small Criticized. RicuMonn, May 23.—The Whig contaizis the follawing editorial: “It Seems that the Rev. Samuel Small could'nt Had amusement enough in starting a taird party in Georgia, and therefore sea hiraself out over Vir- tw and North Carolina in the same Interest. There are some striking ee the eae can of the ‘partys campaign in the last named State.

The Black Flag now floats from the Republican Headquarters. There is no doubt of an organized purpose on the part of the agents of the Money Devil to start and carry on a war conquest if possible against the South. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times—an able Independent paper—says of the Republicans in Congress: “They admit privately that there is a growing sentiment especially in the North-west, in favor of low tariff taxation and that it may therefore be necessary to resort to other issues to k the boys in line with the ‘grand old party.’ ” “Other issues.” —do you see. Sothe dying fires must be fanned into angry dames, and the issues of war times must be revived. What does thisshow, but a fear, a misgiving as to the result of a square fight on the Tariff reduction issue ? ‘The same _ correspondent writes: of Republicans are engaged. it lection of materials for such attacks upon ‘Nerthern Democratic leaders os Ingalls made upon Voorhees and upon other Southern leaders for alleged suppression of the negro vote, by whichit is claimed the solid South is made Democratic. I[t is conceded upon all sides that ajudicious revision of the tariffand a reduction of internal taxation are essential to the economic welfare of the country, and the Democrats are willing to make the issue right there, but the Republicans say the revision should be made by a Republican Cor g ‘ess. . We note this with regret. But the blatant and fiery demagogues must be met. The recent attempt to make the last election in Louisiana a fraud shows the animus of the Republican leaders in the Congress. Ohio and Massachusetts Republican Conventions denounced the election, and the Ver- mont Rads even went so far as to adopt the following resolution: “The present Democratic majority in the House of Representatives at the ex- ecutive branch of the Government is a usurpation, and never before except by hostile armies has popular government been so seviously imperilled.” All this betrays the purpose and shows that the poison is distilling. But while the republicans are at their old game of misrepresentation and defamation the truth about the Louisi- ana election iscoming out and from Republican witnesses. The following from the Louisville Courter-Journal gives some of the evidence. It says: “Here is the New Orleans Item, a Re- publican Journal, which in speaking of theresult of the recent Louisiana election, says that ‘a number of the better sort of intelligent and independent negroes boldy proclaimed themselves Democrats and in favor of the election of Gen. Nich- olls from the beginning.’ And here, too, is the Progress, ajpaper edited by negroes, which declares that ‘thousands of color- ed voters cast their votes for the Demo- cratic nominee for Governor. Thisis a kind of evidence which will be totally ignored by the Republican newspapers of the North, which are insisting that the Democratic majority in the Louisiana election was due to the grossest of fraud.”’ The Mosquito. been lecturing on the mosquito before the literary society of Madras, India, is unggilant enough to say thatit is only the female mosquito that does the biting. He considers the mosquito a most useful pest, seven-eights of its existence being devoted to the service of man and only one-eight to his an- noyance. It exists in the larval state twenty-one days, and during that per- iod engages in sanitary work and ardor and thoroughness. Wherever there is dirty water, wherever there is a filthy drain, there the mosquito larve are to be found, voraciouly devouring the contaminating matter. Mr. Thomas admits that he isan anomalous animal, who wears his heart where others wear their throat. and sows his wild oats at a time of life when the human kind try to make the fellows and heaven believe they have never been sinners; but his days of sin are only a tenth of his total existence, which 1s more than could be said of most animals, man in- cluded. And in clarifying the water of India, which needs the process so badly, the mosquito is performing a public benefaction, and atoning tosome extent for the bloodthirsty appetite he develops during the three days he exists in the more familiar form, Mr. Thomas tells us he never yet founda case where a bite was inflicted by any other than a female mosquito; and though he suggested asa possible ex- planation that the male had quicker ears and might be more on his guard against being caught, this was obvious- ly rather a concession to the feeling of ithe feminine portion of his audience | than the expression of scientific con- ; Viction, —______ - ___ => o-<@po-<qmme Moon Eyed Wives. “The marriage of an American or an Englishman toa Japanese woman ‘isnot so rare an occurrence as the critics who have been writing about E.

We have often heard it said that bees were very intelligent insects, but us We have had very ttle to do with. the little ideals of industry have never witnessed an instance of their peculiar- ities, but we are now convinced that they have ways of their own. A gentle- yeurs man of this city, who for several died kept a number of hives of bees, a few days ago, leaving them without a master, and on Tuesday last one of the hives “swarmed.” The men in the neighborhood tried to “hive” them but were ynsuccessful. Some of the men had previously had experience in the business, but they could not get them to as much as “pitch.” They left the place. We have also been told that any one can be “introduced” toa lot of bees. That if the person who has tended to them will take his intended Successor to where they are kept and knock on the hives the —hees will come ont in force and that if he speaks to them and tells them that the person uecompanying him is to be his suecessor they will buzz around on a tour of inspection, as if it werey and will not sting either of them. That if bees are always treated with this respect thev will wot give the person who will have them in charge mach trouble in attendiag to them. : Again, they cin be used as an index to different dispositions. For instance, if any one of a mild, loving und friend- ly disposition approaches a hive of bees they will pay no attention what- -everto their presence. On the con- _trary, if person of a harsh, cruel and /anfriendly disposition nears their place of abode they will immediately cover and sting him. In connection with this trut of character we were told of a gentleman from Pender coun- ty. who bad a very bad disposition, | oWas cross, and crabbed and unpleasant, | whose son purchased a few hives of , bees from a neighbor farmer and ear- imed them to his father’s house. son had a much better disposition than ‘his farther and he con!d mingle with the bees. but the farther could not en- ter the garden where they were kept Without being stung. On one oeeasion he became angry aud determined to go to the bench on which the hives rested. He started, but before he had gotten within thirty feet of them he fell to the ground, stang to unconsciousness. H s son, who was near at hand, rush- ed to his rescue, and, strange to say. was not hurt by a single bee. We re- member once, when a small bov. see- nga young man walk deliberately ip to a hive one sultry afternoon in August and scoop up a handful of bees, und we are positive that he was not stune.— Wilmington Review. From the Wilmington Star. Senator Wade Hampton, of South Carolia, has an article in the June beatnber of the Loran in which he discusses “What Negro Supremacy ane * .

In Sedtember, 1859, at Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Lineoln expressed the same views. He felt kind to the negro, but he loved his own race. We make room for a part of the quotation given by Senator Hampton : “Twill say, that I ant not, mor ever have been, in favor bringing about in pany way soe and political equality of of the white and black races: that I am not, nor ever have been, in fa- vor making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifving them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people ; and | will say, in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which, I be- heve, will forever forbid the two races [living tugether on ierms of social and political equality.

There will be no enchanted, mysterious cor- ner left on the earth for him. Africa and the Arctic circle will be covered With railway stations and summer tour- ists.”’ School-boys to-day do net under- stand how full of mystery the world was to their great-grandfathers. In every continent wide blots on the map were marked “Unexplored Territory." There were five especial mysteries which tormented our ancestors. One was the source of the Nile. “It is highly improbable,’ says a learned di- Vine of the Inst century, “that this geographical seerct will ever be dis- covered by man.’ Another was the truth cam@erning the lost Atlan‘cs, a fair and fertile country, which tradi- tion said had been engulfed ages ago fn the Atlantic Ocean. The center of the earth also gave much uneasiness to curious people. There were inany theorics conecrning it. Iwas a gulf of liquid fire; it was a mass of ice; it was the abode of the damned; it was a busy, beantiful world, filled with in- habitants, as was the surface of the earth. Buoks deseribing this unknown inner continent were published by al- Jeged explorers. Symmes’ Hole was the entrance to it, and Symmes told many tales of his adventures under- ground. A fourth unsolved mystery was the location of the magnetic pole. Various theories were propounded to explain the attraction of the magnet to the north, One of the most popular of these, three centuries ago, was the ex- istence of a huge monster, which was said to live under the sea near Green- land, toward whom all magnets were, for some inexplicable reason, drawn. Occasionally he raised his head above the ocean, aul svoutel forth water, which fact rationally explained all tidal waves and water-spouts; the high tides on the Newfoundland eoast were pro- duced by the breath from his nostrils. Another mystery, even yet unsolved, was the sudden, total disappearance of a colony of Danes from the west coast of Greenland. It was conjectured that they had penetrated the sea of ice which eorers that country to its eastern coast. There they were still supposed to live, in a tropical climate, amid fruit and flowers. No navigator for three centuries has been able to reach this eastern coast; hence this legend. still remains to delight superstitious sailors. But as these oll-time mys eries dis- Appear, others have arisen more pro- found and close nt &aund. The nature and quality of the clements, and their relation to each other, open a region of research which will tax the. powers of many generations to come. Men for ages told childish tales to each other of geniiand enchanted lamps, while the ait was fall of unusual electricity around them, and steam served only to cook their food. It may be that the cominen- est substances which we handle to-day may possess tremendous cnergies that, When understood and trained to the service of man, will change the face of the earth. -— Youth's Conpanion. = THE GAREFOWL'S FATE. Complete Fxtinetion of the Once Namer- ous Great Auk Family. The great suk has beeome extinct within the last fifty years. At any rate, the general impression of or- nithologists is that the bird has disap- peared forever, except as specimens are preserved in museums. Prof. New- ton, of Cambridge, England, has in- dulged the belief that the bird may yet be found living about the more inac- cessible shores of the North, but the hope has thus far been disappointed. The fate of this bird is something strange when we consider that it be- longed to a family that is numerous and hardy. ‘Lhe divers, ot which it was avariety, live about the cliffs of northern Their retreats are rarely visited by man. They have an abundance of food in the fish of the sea. They rear their young on the shelves of the rocks. If they are pur- sued they easily escape by swimming and diving. Of all the divers none seemed more capable of taking care of itself than the auk. According to Wil- son: “Its powers of swim ning and div- ing probably exceeded those of any other species of the feathered race”? The wings of the great auk apvear to have: been so short as to bear the character of paddles, thus resembling the pen- guin, of whieh it was the noriuern rep- resentative. It laid its solitary egg— about five inches long and three inches at the greatest breadth—on the bare rock, without any pest. As it was in- eapable of flight, it had to baild on the lower ledges. A live specimen of the auk was cap- tured off Sc. Kilda by the taeksman of the Island of Sealpa, and was seen there in the year 1821. While this bird was being indulged with a swim ta the sea, restrained by a cord fastened to one leg, it contrived to eseape fron a sub- secuent owner. It has been ascertained that there are about seventy-one skias of the auk and sixty-five eggs in different parts of the world. In 1871 the value of a specimen of the fowl was estimated at not less than about fire hundred dollars, bnt it is now very much greater.” An auk’s egg is now valued at from fifty to sixty pounds. , The eggs vary in size, color and markings, some being of a silvery-white and others of a yuellowish-white ground —the spots and streaks also differing in form and colcr. Within the Jast few years some admirably manufactured forgeries of these egga have been cffered for sale. — Youll": Companion. shores. house, ° kind and good. a A BIT OF BUNTING.

Mags are the oatward and notjocable sigus of benevo'ence, might, wealth and victory, war, p2ace or disaster, disease, death and festivity, as well as protection and defiance. The making of flags is a business of import- ance in all seaport towns, for there is a continual demand for such articles aboard all kinds of craft. Ttis simply astonishing to soe how short a time it takes for sca, wind and weather to whip the stoutest stuffs into ribbons. When the breeze blows fair, and with sunshine plenty, a bunting banner may be carrie at the inast head some three months or more; ®it fet one gale ruffle the waters, and before the pretty strip can be lowered, the tempest has blown it into a banch of tatters.

Some interesting experiments have lately been made to test the feasibility of enabling ships to communicate with one another by means of what may be called a sea telephone. It is known that water is a good transmitter of sound, and that the velocity with which sound is conveyed throuely it is about four times gveat as its through the air. Experiments made on the Lake of Geneva lovg ago showed that the sound of a submerged bell could be heard by means of a speciai form of ear trumpet, also placed beneath the water, at a dis- ‘ance of several miles from the bell. Mr. Boyer, of H. M.S. Malabar, has lately in a measure vevived this experi- ment, only he has used a telephone in- stead of an car-trumpet as receiver of the sounds transmitted. The apparatus consis!s of a larga, flat bell or gong place | ja-t below the water line @ a ship's side, and which is so gonneeted by means of a tube with the deck that adiauuuer can be made to acton the bell at will. This s the transmitter. Tha reeciver con- sists of a Bell telephone, with a large diaphragm placed in the ccuter of the bell and connecie.l by means of wires with another telephone ou the deck of the shin. This second instru:nent is held to the observer's ear. By means of this apparatus it is found that sound can be readily conveyed through the water for upward of & mile, and it is claimed that signals can be thus mde under the sea which will be quite independent of fog or stormy weather. There secms to 13 to he only one weak point in this method of signaling. und that is the want of 4 means of calling ‘he attention of the distant receiver when the tiansmitter wishes to send a signal. In the working of Ue ordinary telephone eavh obsorver has bis signal- ing bell, but this is impossible with the rca telephon».

He was greeted with rounds of applause, which he ackaowledged i0 a brief and a happily conceived speech. The climax of ap- planse was reached when ba spoke of the re-election of Mr. Cleveland.

There is no arbitrary rules governing the mode ot this inter- esting and often very exciting perforim- ance. ‘Nature nbhorsa vacuum” Lo more than a duplication of her works, und asking a waid to wed you is one of hor developments. It has never occur. red twice in exactly the same way, and probably never will, The modus of the climatic effort on the part of a man Is 0 infinite variety, from the formally writ- ten document, to the blunt oral petition, these latter kind being far most common, and always dependent on the cir- cumstance in which the parties find themselves at the moment. There is more simple nature in these matters enee studied poetry. The poetic and forma! apeech have been no doubt often employ- ed, but they are liable to suspicion; for really it ia nota time for such things, any inore than it would be for a drown- ing man to be poctie in calling for help. With the party alone in the boat, slowly, dreamily floating ou the -ilver lake under the moonlight, fanned by gentle breezes—a most bewitching mc- ment—how was it?” ‘ Birdie—Missa Wren,” said Montrose, | hut befure he could proceed further he was interrupted by his sweet lady comm- pauton-- “Why, Montrose, what do you mean-- calling both my names in a breath? “T believe Tin crazy,” said he. “Tam too, perhaps.’ was the quick rejoinder. . Then let us join hands and hearts, said he, and caught her hand.» She made no resistance, but on the contrary tesponded to each pressure of ‘his manly grasp by a movement of: her own fingers; and—it was all over—all that any one clse need know. Mrom that hour they were one in heart and mind; from that moment lived they each for the other. Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one.” But ‘the best of friends must part,” aud the College closed for the session. When he cane to bid his betrothed good- bye fur wa short vacation at his home ina distant part of the State, he brought Tennyson's Poeins to his beloved, re- minding her of the little episode of the Philop@na, This little volume is presented to Miss Birdie Wren with the best wishes of one who hopes that in the appreciation of it’s beauties she may not fail to discover the great reward of poetic study, which en- ables us to realize the true, the beautiful and the good, blended with all we meet in surrounding nature.” her Bible. Jetters to her, lending which passed in gladness. vacation out, Birdie began to look for- ward with brightest anticipations for his return, but instead of coming back he had decided to go to Texas, where he hoped to earn and accumulate money cnough to commence house-keeping. As he deferred his trip for a short time, Birdie accompanied her father to Balti- more, on a visit. While there she re- ceived a note from her aflianced, saving: 4“ I am here, in the ‘City of Peace,’ on my Way to Texas; have ouly a few days to remain. Would love to see you before Igo. <Ascver thine, CHABLES MONTROSE VENABLE.” With a bounding heart she answered to this cal!. When she and her father reached the depot a mile from home they found Mr. Venable awaiting their ar- rival. He escorted her to the door of her home, promising to call early next morn- log—whisperipg a few tender words, he said, good-night,” and disappeared in the darkness. He had only oue day to tarry. They spent that together happily, though tinged with the sadness of soon parting. That hour came before either was wil- Jing for it, and—upon it let the curtain fall. Birdie was in tears soon after Mr. Ven- able had gone. The burden on her heart analyzed would have been found to con- tain regret, amounting almost to remorse; aod strange forebodings ofevil. Regret at having refused her affianced a parting kiss, the foolish ting men so much crave; and foredodings of evil from dan- gers which hesct the pathway of those who go out into the wide world to bunt a fortune. On tbe pext day after this parting, Birdie received a letter from an aunt, Mrs. Speight, giviug a pressing invita- tion to psy her a visit. ia the country twenty miles away. family was in good, comfortable circum, stances, bit possessed no more of this| world’s gouds than were needful. They | Kept but one or two servants, so that! wucb of the household work, the light | gardening, &e., was divided out among the members of the family. But the aunt wrote —‘we have not much tocharm or ioterest you here, but vevertheless I crave a visit. The fields are green, the flowers are beautiful, the brook is lim- pid and ifs murmuring music is only- excsiled by that of the birds which make the groves ocho with their joyous morn- ioe sougs.”’ Birdie at once determined to accept the invitacion, with her father’s consent, | und a few days afterwards she was with ber aunt. .Many unfamiliar objects en- gaged her attention, und tinding herself in a pleasant family, every one of whom soemod to take delight in contributing their share to the general enjo yMent, sbe.sought to do her part algo; thus, at ooe time we Gnd ber sweeping the house, at another waking the beds or arraaging the table, dusting the furni- ture, cooking a fish, making a cake, and occagionally taking lessons at milking the | cows. Iv this way she lightened the burdgp of her aunt, who looked of her | with loving eyes. And finding pleasure in | being useful to others, she was grieved | at the thought of giving it all up, as the time for returniug home drew wear. It is not to be wondered at that a charming young woman, such as-the one} desoribed, should attract to’ her Many ! visitors without effort on ber part. It can never be known te what extent Bir- die cherished that sinful vanity of capti- vating yoany men merely for her owv amusement. Her tree, graceful, easy, |. and winsome manners drew Inany call- ers to hor father’s house, and it is not known that any o29 ever went away grieved at the manner of his reception. Men are very prove to misconstrue the manners of young ladies whose favor tuey wish to gain.

She heard of this surprising boast, and meditated a revenge ef some sort. And uow we have a womanish freak to record almost without a parallel. She permit- ted him to retura and treated him with | greater civility than ever. She exchang- ed notes with him in which there “was evident signs of favoring him as a suitor, and wheu he again proposed she accept- ed bim. The wsiter cannot undertake to recon- cile this conduct with truth and fidelity to her absent lover, nor as consistent with a heart under the influence of re- ligion. It was a plain departure from both, whatever the secret motive. But it was of short duration. Mr. Hope, in the new relation of an accepted lover, ‘soon became dictatorial and censorious in his treatment. He could not bear to sce Birdie’s politeness to other gentlemen who were visiting at her home. The ‘green eyed monster’? seemed to hold him captive at his will, and the smallest, most insignificant attention to others, filled him with wrath,*to which he gave | free vent when alone with her. The engagement lasted only ten days: She told him that she could not afford to ;conform her life to unreasonable and cruel requirements, and demanded a re- turn of all her notes to him. He prom- ised to oblige ber and left in a passion. But Mr. Hope had searcely passed be- yond the gate before he was denouncing himself as a fool, and by the time he was seated in his own quiet room, he was vearly ready to cut his throat and die. He delayed to return Birdic’s letters, but on the contrary, wrote her the following: Dear Miss Wren:—Since I have had | time to reflect, I feel that I have treated you very unkindly, and aeted very un- wisely. I am greatly distressed at my own conduct, and freely acquit you of all blame. I cannot give you up. I pray for forgiveness. I have had no rest since [left your door, Pardon me—oh, par- don me, or | shall die, JAMES Hopr. To this letter the following answer was ven: Mr. Hope:—I commisserate your con- dition, and hope your distress is not so great as to defy the kind offiees of time. I forgive as I hope to be forgiven, but do not suppose forgiveness implies renewal of engagement. Please return the letters I have heretofore written you. BIRDIE WREN. This note was read and re-read by the} distressed lover in the vain hope of find- ing «© word of encouragement, and he ved about for several days as one who feeey had # wish for continued life. despair was a condition not long to be borne. He knew that Col. Wreu’s finan- | He resolv- ed that he would call on Miss Wren, and discovered a gleam of hope. his impulsive nature brought him again to her peaceful hore. A servant answered lsee Miss Wreu. He met her as she entered the door with, ‘Miss Wren I jhave called to plead that forgiveness may imply restoration of former relations ——" “Ob,” she interrupted him, “EL theucht you had brought my letters.” | “No, no,” enid he, “IT cannot give up cither you or them. I plead for lite and | its happiness. Tlove you with all my | heart—pray once mere be generous— once more loving, and I promise you it suall never cost youa pang, but bea bles- sing to you and the family.” He held ber hand in aknceling posture, while she with the other covered her eyes. With no intention from the first of marrying Mr. Hope, but to punish him for bs graceless boasting, she perceived for the first time that “he that diggeth a pit shall fall therein.” He had in his posession Ictters that might ruin ber ip the estimation of Mr Venable, whose love was dearer to her than all the world. He cvidently did not intend to give them up, and how to recover herself from the danger of tosing Mr. Venable, engaged all her thougbte. The parlor scene was closed by Miss i Wren, who drew the man to his feet and }waived him to a chair. She said, “This is all sudden and expected, Mr. TIope, land I must have time to reflect on the ; situation before I answer,” and bowed uerself out of the room, Jeaving him to retire when it suited him. But that gen- quickly toward her, saying as he passed, “may heayen guide your reflects in my TAGE When Birdie reached her own room she fell across her. bed, murmuring ‘Oh! Montrose, if vou knew all this!” But when the excitement of the mo- ment had passed, sober reflection ensued. Sbe resolved to acquaint her father of the whole affair, A engage him to help her out of the difficulty, as she felt con- fident he could do. “ She told him of ber engagement to Mr. Venable; of how Mr. Hope had worried her after repeated refusals; of his shameless boastings among some of his friends; and bow ip revenge she had sought to punish bin; that as a part of her plan she had agreed to marry him, though it was far from her purpose. That while carrying out that scheme sbe had answered some of his letters in a manner that would fairly expoxe her to the charge of infidelity to Mr. Venable. That after the enguge- tucnt to Mr. Hope, he developed the inost cruel jealousy, forbidding her to appexr in the presence of gentlemen who were in the habit of calling at their houre, and employing to ber language she had never heard before; and that this treat- ment afforded just the opportunity desired t» break the engayement, which she did, demanding at the same time a return of | her letters. She related also bis subse- quent conduct, and exhibited the last notes which had passed between them, together with an account of the reeent interview in tbe parlor. “Well! well!” cjaculated Col. Wren, “what a kettle of fish!” Bat after a few meditation he continued, “Well, my child, what can I do for you?” _ “Lhave but one request father, and that is that you will aid me in recovering the jetters in Mr. Hope's posession. I kept no copies of them; and as I must render Mr. Venab! € a satisfactory account of this whole affair those letters will be indis- pensable as a part of it. Besides, under the circumstances, they should of right be returned to me,” * Well,” said Col. Wren, “I wish to see Mr. Hope on other business to-mor- row and will take your matter iu ut the same lnterview.” _ Birdie had not bestowed one thought to toe end for which Mr. Hope invoked the aid of heaven. She had become thor- oughly alarmed at the part she had play- ed, and the anxiety to end all inter. course with her tormentor had disturbed her whole nature. It wasa great reliet to throw part of the burden on her father, as she had done, and she arose riubly but-courteously rejected.

She dreaded most that Mr. Venable must be informed of it all, and that he must know that she was capable of such duplicity. Could he forgive her? Him- self the ‘‘soul of honor,” could he find in the history of the case a satisfactory apology for her conduct! had not reproached her directly, and she really did not know what he meant by calling it a ‘‘kettle of fish.” It isan ugly “kettle” of folly she knew, and repented of it with tears, Would Mr. Vena- ing or obscure remark? She hoped not. it he would scold her, or box her ears. She would submit to it with Christian resignation. the business in hand. [TO BE CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK. ] 7p Ole Uncle Dan Couldn't Explain.

The Thurman bandanna, the hand- kerchief which is likely to figure ex- _tensively in the coming campaign, has ‘its own romance. In 1824, when Thurman was eleven years oid, there tarrived in Chillicothe an erratic, Emil Gregorie, who subsequently became knewn as the “Professor.” He had been intended for the Catholic priest- hood, but while in his studies for holy orders he fell desperately in love with a young girl below him in_ social standing. Against the. entreaties of his friends, he abandoned all thoughts of the priesthood and finally married the girl. He had means, and under the advice of American agents in Paris he coucladed to invest in West Virein- ta tands. Like the iil-fated Blenner- hassett, who bought an interest in the Ohio River; he thought to establish an Oriental paradise inthe West His young wife gave birth to a daughter and died. Takiny the child, the grief- stricken father named it Virginia, and came with it to found a home in the new world. When he found his lands were an unbroken wilderness, diis dis- appointment knew no bounds. He wandered about the savage border lands of the West until he reached Chilheothe, where he found employ- ment asa teacher of French. Mrs. Thurman, Allen's mother, heard of him and his ability, and took eare of the child in exchange for French lessons for her son. The grateful Parisian gave young Thurman most assiduous attention, but among other accomplishment: tanght him the habit of taking snuff and the French use of “the handkerchiet.” At first Thorman could speak n> French and Virginia no Kielish. 3nt they soon aequired a vocabalary of common phrases, and became con- stant companions antl firm friends. Thormian’s tirst crief came when M. (tregorie received a favorable offer to voto Louisiana, then a province of Spain. Much to the regret of both tne young people, he accepted the in- | vitation, and left Chillicothe for “the Spanish territory.” Por awhile Thar- man was disconsolate, and even give up “snuff.” But on coming to Con- afterward he found the habit prevailing, with “snaff’ on the Con- vressional free list,and so he fell into the habit wean, | “ress $$ The Dismal Swamp. WHAT BOYLE O REILY HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. Boston Pilot June xd. “Boyle O'Reily has fallen in love with the Dismal Swamp, which he is traversing lua canoe, and writes that in is ‘the most defamed land on the earth.’ ‘the greatest sanitarium cn the American continent, and ‘a de olate and erying for attention and reclani- tion.

It would do very well, as, you will see presently, when we get lime to expiain. All the Dismal Swamy needs is industry and inteiligence, and Mr. O'Retly’s afflicted countrymen” asually bring these with them. The Dismal Swainp is a disgrace to civilization, and particularly to the States of Virginia and North Carol ns. Its horrible con- dition drowned by a selfish artificial iiundation, and infested with reptiles and wild beasts, could be completely cured in less than five years, adding nearly a thousand square miles of val- It “would be well, indeed, if a coiony of industrious Irishmen could be induced to settle in the Dismal Swamp, to change it from a hissing and howling wilderness into the land of beauty and fertility for which it was intended by nature. —_————_—__~ noo” South’ America.

Many more would have been there had they not been un- willing to leave the pending tariff dis- cussion in the lower House. Three | days of the past week were devoted to the consideration of the tariff bill by sections, under the five minutes rule, | but owing to republican obstruction | there was very little progréss made. ‘Lumber was the main stumbling | block. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, made an interesting point by reading from the Record of 1868 showing that Blaine was at that time a fierce advo- cate of free lumber. But the result of this was that inost of the evening was spent in discussing Blain’s tariff re- | cord. | ‘The last thing done by the Honse on Srtarday afternoon was to discuss the Agric iltural Appropriation — bill. It got into a litle row over the ques- tion of increased salaries for clerks and officials of that Department, and there was the usual fuss about ihe appro- priation for seeds, but as usual the polit.cal seeds-men came out victorious- ly. , General Sheridan’ may be better or he may be dead before this - reaches you. His ralhes and his relapses fol- low each other too frequently to make any record gf his condition. The. bill reviving the rank of “General of the Army” has been passed, signed by the Presilent, confirmed by the Senate, and General Sheridan promoted there- to. letter of thanks to the President. The republicans of the Senate ju- diciary committee are still delaying in making «a report to the Senate on the nomination of Mr. Fuller to the Chief Justice. Paymaster General Fulton of the Novy, with a quick, sharp jerk. The Paymaster General recently awarded a contract for furnishing 150,000 pounds of tobacco for the use of the navy to a Riehmond tirm, in spite of the fact that lis bid was the highest instead of the lowest. An investigation is new lL. progress to ascertain the eause of this seeming favoritism. Seeretary Whitney says he will go to the bottom of the affair. : Belva Lockwood has officially. ac- eeptel the nomination for President tendered her by the equal rights party. This will be her second Presidential campaign. ° If a person has any doubt as to which politieal party is in favor of the iy corpora’ ioas and monopolies of the country, just let that person keep a close watch upon the actions of the eommittees of the Senate and House — the Senate cominittees representing the republican party, and the Honse Committees, the Democratic party. For instance, the House recently pssed a bill reqniring the Pacific railroads to construct and operate telegraph lines wer their roads; when the Senate committee on commerce got hold of this bill, they reported it to the Senate with an amendment striking ont the word “construct”, which virtually destroys the effect that the bill was intended to have, in compelling these roads to construct telegraph lines that would be run in opposition to those of the Western Union Telesriph com- pany. With the word “constract” left out of the bill, the railroads will simply make sone arrangments with the Western Union company, that will continue the presentimonoply. Here is another instance of the Seuate favor- ing big corporations. Public opinion compelled the Senate to pass a bill for- feiting all the unearned grants of land to rauroads. {n order to make it as easy a8 possible on the corporations, the bill only torfeited the lauds, through which the roads had not been built. When this bill reached the House committee on Public Lands, Mr. Holman, of Indiana, offered a substi- tute providing that all lands shall be torferted that have not been earned in strict accordance with the original grant. These two bills give a good general idea of the policy of the two parties lu dealing with wealthy cor- porations. ‘I'he democrats believe in controlling them, the republicans in o¢- ing controiled by them. lr aime Senator Ingalls points out the policy to b2 parsned by the Republican party throughout the campaign.

In an interview which I have just had with myself I have positively stated and now repeat, that at neither the St. Louis nor Chicago convention will any name be presented as a candidate. But my health is bully. We are upon the threshold of a most bitter and acrimonious fight. Great wisdom and foresight are needed at this hour, and the true patriot will forget himself and his own interests in kis great yearning for the good of his common country and the success of his party. According to my notion our candi- date should be a plain man, a hairless patriot like himself, who should be suddenly thought of by a majority of the convention and nomination by ac- clamation. He-should not bea hide- bound politician, but on ‘the contrary he should be greatly startled, while down cellar sprouting potatoes, to learn that he has been nominated. That’s the kind of a man who always surprises everybody with his sagacity when an emergency arises. In going down my cellar stairs the committee will do well to avoid step- ping on a large and venomous dug who sleeps on the top stair. Or I will tie him in the barn if I can be informed when Tam liable to be startled. I have always thought that the neat- est method of calling a man to public life was the one alopted some years ago in the case of Cincinnatus. He was one Gay breaking a pair of nervous red steers in the North field. It was a hotday in July, and he was trying to Sammer-fallow a piece of ground Where the jimson weeds grew seven teet high. The plow would not scour, and the steers had turned the yoke twice on him. Cincinnatus had hung his toga on a tamarac pole to strike a furrow by, and hadn't succeeded in vetting the plow in more than twie in going across. Dressing as he did in the Rowan costume of 458 B. C., the blackberry vines had scratched his massive legs till they were a sight to behold. He had scourged Old-Bright and twisted the tail ot Bolly till he was sick at heart. All through the long afternoon, wearing a hot, rusty helmet with rabbit-skin ear tabs, he had toiled on, when suddenly a major- ity of the Roman voters climbed over the fence and asked him to become dict itor in place of Spuriug Melius. Putting on his toga and buckling an old hamestrap around his loins he, suid: “Gentlemen, if you will wait till IT go to the house and get some vase- line on my limbs I will do your dictat- ing for’yvou as lowas you hove ever had it done.” He then left his team standing in the furrow while he serw ed his country in an official capacity for a little over twenty-nine years, after which he went back and resumed his farming. Though 23000 years have since pass- ed away and historians have been busy with that epoch ever, since no one has yet discovered the methods by which Cincinnatus organized and executed this, themost successful People’s Move- ment” of which we are informed. The great ‘trouble with the modern boom is that it is to precocions. It knows more before it gets its clothes on than the nurse, the physician and its parents. It the dies before the sap starts in the maple forests. My object in writing this letter is largely to tone down and keep in check any popular movement in my behalf until the weather is more settled. A season-cracked boom isa thing I des- pise. I enclose my picture, however, which shows that I am so hezlthy that it keeps me awake at nights, I go about the house singing all the time and playing pranks on my grandparents. My eye danees with ill-concealed merriment, and my conversation is just as sparkling as it can be. I have never had Jess malaria cr de- spondency in my system than I have this Spring. My cheeks have a delicate bloom on them like a russet apple and my step is light and elastic. In the morning I wise from my couch, and touching aconcealed spring, it becomes an upright piano. Ithen bathe in a low divan, which contains a jointed tank. I then sing until interfered with by property owners and taxpay- ers who reside near by. After a light- breakfast of calf’s liyer and custard pie I go into the reception room and wait for people to come and feel wy pulse. In the afternoon I lie down on a lounge for two or three hours, wond- ering in what way I can eudear my- self to the laboring man. I then dine heartily at my club. In the evening I go to see the amateurs play “Pyg- malion and Galatea.” As T remain. until the play. is over anyone can see that [ama very robust man. After I yet home I write two or three thou- sand words in my diary. “I them insert myself into the bosom of my piano and sleep, having first remoyed my clothes and ironed my trousers for future re- ference. In closing, let me urge one and all to renewed effort. The prospects for a speedy and unqualified victory at the polls were never more ruseate. . Bus Nrzg Country Eitors. This heading is a breif iption of one of the Heaviest taxed a of the human race. The Writer bas been there twenty-five years of his ao active There are many of uties, privi and 3 of the position of Shee aye envy a “country editor,” and vet it isa life of servitude and ingratitude. A’ country editor has to read his ‘papers and write his editorials at night, when he should lay aside work and troubles of life to enjuy the society of his fami- ly, which he too frequently has no time to get fairly acqaainted with. In the day he sticks type, makes up forms, folds papers, makes up the mails, runs errands, collects bills, saws wood, works in the garden, attends political caucuses, heads and leads forward every enterprize for building up his town, making public improvements, building churches, and especially by every de- vice in his power, making great politi- cians out of the most unworthy speci- mens of :-humanity. And then he is the first man neglected, and worst man abused of any one in the com- munity. He has to do gratuituusly ten times us much work for the public, for the party, for the church, for 80- | ciety, for all charitable objects, as a person in his village. He is the pac norse and the drudge for every interest and enterprise. The privileges of the position are the opportunities to go free, or as a dead- head, to all shows, theaters, benefits, etc., after doing, gratuitously, ten times as much work for them as would pay for tickets. But the real zest a “country editor” has, is raining fire and brimstone down on the heads of all political or personal enemies, and all miserly or niggardly souls who live off society by the various devices which rasculey cau luvent, which somewhat compensates for the servitude and ex- actions required of him. And countrr editors are generally good men—per- fected probably through suffering— and they live to very old age, preserv- ed, it 18 supposed, by the determination to live until their last ememy is made to bite the dust. Country editors are mostly like the man on the white horse which St. John saw: “They go forth conqiering and to conquer.”"— Des | Moines Register. 2 Didn't Want the Last Word.

Our common strawberry is one of the most widely diffused plants, partly owing to the small size of its seeds, which birds, attracted by the fleshy oart in which they are found, carry to eat distances. It ws wild in invere from the Lapland and the Shetland Isles to the mountain rauges of the South; in Muaderia, Spain, Sicily and Qreece; in Asia from Armenia and the North of Syria to Daburia. It is wild in the United States, in Ic: - iand, in Mexico and around Quito, South América. Its habitat extends around the North Pole in temperate climes except iu Eastern Siberia. The Greeks and omans did Tot cultivate this berry, and no one did until the fifteenth or sixteenth century in Eu- rope. The variety known as Virgin- ian strawberry is indigenous in Canada and the Eastern States of this country, and is the source of @me of the best cultivated varieties, jn its crosses with Chili berry The Virginiin berry was introduced into the Euglish gardens in 1629. The Chili strawberry was brought into Franee in 1715, and after cultivation in the Maseum of Naural History, it spread to England and else- where.—(ood Hovisekeeping.

No other article of human food has ever received such high, empLatic. and un!- versal endorsement from eminent ciemists, physicians, ecicntists, and Boards of Health all over the worid. Note.—The above Dricram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by ( hemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler. A one pound can of cach powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what cvery observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical expericuce, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary hinds, it is far more cconomical, and, besides, affords the advan- tage of better work. A single trial of tho Royal Baking Powder wili couvince any fa'r mindcd person of these facts. ‘ v * While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree ef strength than other powders ranked below them, it is mot to be taken as indica ied so large a portion of the Northwest POB PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS AT LARGE ae years a eens of the ce ALFRED M.

Colonel, no better security could be off-red, and I am ouly too happy to oblige you. Fix up! the papers a< soon as you please. and give yourself no further anxiety on tue subject.” _ Col. Wren was on the point of retiring when he secmed to remember « half for- gotten part of his mission. Turning to Mr. Hove he said: “My daughter requested me to bring some papers you have of hers.” . “Take a seat, Colonel, take a seat, waid Mr. Hope, as he hung bis head with 1 woe-begone and almost despairing look. After some seconds he resumed—"‘that brings me to asking a favor of you, and I fear 1 am a lost man unless you can help me. I want to engace yout aa an inter- cessor in my behalf. Colonel, it is need- leas that I should tel} yon that Lam des- perately in love with Birdie, but it may not be to tell you that 1 lost her favor by the most egregious folly of my own— folly that has cost me more grief than ever before experienced.” Mr. Hope then relapsed into a condi- tion of moody silence, and Col. Wren himself, though usually prompt and off- handed, also remai ed silent for some mninuter, during whic brief interval he was reviewing the various points in the case, and endeavoring to Make up an answer which should meet it. Ife then ! said— “Mr. Hope, you have done me a great favor, and I cannot say that your request Poor Birdie! She believed “True bliss | 3’ fai 3 involved his bondsmen | is only found in wedded love,” as the; polices at ee pee ias old adage goes; she argued that it would | not be wedded ‘* love,” but ‘** wedded hate” if she wero united in the holy bonds of wedlock to anybody but her |own Montrose, who was then in Texas, ignorant of what was transpiring in the Old Dominion. She fled to her own little room, and poured out her soul, through her pen to her heart's love, tell- ing hiin all, confessing the wrong she had ‘done him, and giving the reasons which acutated her, and requested his speedy return if he was willing to pardon. This letter she gave her brother to mail she was too faint and unstrung to go to ihe office. But not Knowing his sister’s predicament—unot knowing the im pots | tance of the missive—he went fishing turgot his promise to mail the letter, and boy-like put it in his pocket, where it re- mained ten days, -She waited in sus- pense and impatience for an answer, but in vain; so she telegraphed, yet received uo response. She trusted the God of the ‘innocent that she might be saved—might not be “led as @ lamb to the slaughter.” No tidings came from her lover. She was overwhelmed with grief, sppos- ed he was angry with her and would uever forgive her. She managed how- ever to maintain a calm composure. * * * te * The fatal hour arrived, Rev. Dr. Harri- sonwas in tue parlor ready to perform the marriage ceremony. The guests were issembled, and the bride-groom-clect stood waiting for his bride.

Col. Wren at first thought it was a canard, concocted by some evil disposed person to worr$ him. But the evidences of genuineneSs were too numerous and clear for doubting, and his feelings of joy found relief in tears. The gloom which had hung over his home like a death pall was suddenly rent and the light of joy gnce more streamed in upon them. For a time the usual em- ployments and duties of the household were forgotten, and each member moved about aimlessly, wondering at the recov- ery of a loved one whom they had given up »s dead, or as forever lost. Even the servants were insane with joy, and gave expressions of it by slapping their hands and running around, and now and then exclaimiug ‘‘my lord.” The news very soon spread through the city, and was quite as startling to the friends of the Wrens as to thei. To mony it was a very sincere joy. The history of the case had been thoroughly discussed during the last sixteen months, hand the verdict reached acquitted Birdie of all blame. But all had given her up for lost, and the sudden reverse of this belief was both amazing and joyous. * * % * * This story might be greatly extended in giving the details of a delightful recep- tion at the Wren mansion on the arrival of Birdie and Mr. Verable, who came on time. It was numerocusly atttended and the guests returned to their respective homes thoroughly enthused by the occa- zion and the young couple, who were fairly radiant with happiness... Mv. Venable had been successful in_all his ventures, both in Texas and, New England, and returned to the ‘City cf Peace” fully prepared to establish a home for himself and Birdie. He also assisted Col. Wren to manage his Lusiness with Mr. Hope, who had left his claim in the hands of an attorney for collection when due, and thus ends a recital which is onl) another instance of how truth is some- times stranger than fiction.

Then the various bands which were discoursing musi in various parts of the hall ceased, the loud talking and the cheers which greeted the appearance of each distinguished individual who entered the Convention gave way to quietness, and with a preliminary hustle the great assemblage subsided into comparative silence. “The tonvention will please come to order,’’ said Chairman Barnum. “Bishop . ©. Granberry, of St. Louis, will open the proceedings of this Convention with prayer.” Bishop Granberry came for- ward and addressed the throne of grace. At the conclusion of the prayer Mr. Barnum arose and said: ‘‘Gentlemen of the Convention— By the unanimous vote of the National Committee the Chair has been directed to present to this con- vention as the list of temporary officers the following, which the Secretary will read.” Mr. Prince then read the list as follows: Stephen M. White, of California, for Chairman. (Applause.) Temporary Secre- tary, Fred O. Prince, of Massachusetts. As- sistant Secretaries, A!fred Orendorf, of Illi- nos; W. J. Scott, of Virginia: T. E.

The convention unnnimously adopted the list as read by Mr. Prince, after which the Chairman said: ‘I will ap- point Mr. Arthur B. Gorman, of Mary- land; Mr. Calvin S. Bryce, of Ohio, and Mr. Frank W. Dawson, of South Caro- lina,a committee to wait upon Mr. White and escort him to the chair.” (Ap- plause). The committee escorted Mr. White amid great enthusiasm to the chair, and Mr. Barnum then introduced him to the convention in the following words: ‘‘Gentlemen of the Convention —I have the pleasure and the honor to present to this convention Mr. Stephen M. W. White, of California.” Mr. White then addressed the convention. CHAIRMAN WHITE'S ADDRESS. Mr. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE Chief Doorkeeper, T.O. Walker, of Towa; | | rules of conduct which should control govern- | SSS — aoe CONVENTION—Profoundly grateful for the distinction just conferred upon me, I am conscious that I have been forecinosen for this position because of your appreciation of that important section of our country from whence Icame. I can answer that those who are in heart present will regard with satisfaction the recognition which they have thus received—not be ‘ause of any uncommon ability or influence of mine, but for the rea- son that thisis the only instance in the his- tory of our National Conventions in which the Pacific Slope has been accorded such an honor. California was acquired under Democratic rule. It became a commonwealth under Democratic auspices. It is ‘therefore fitting that the bestowal of this favor should emanate from the organization whose patriotism and courage gave her to the American Union, and that that party should be the first to press forward with party fond- ne-s the children of those who knocked and did not knock in vain for admission to the privileges of Statehood. KR CLE | I congratulate you not merely as Demo- crats, but as American citizens, upon the encouraging circumstances which attend the inauguration of our proceedings. For the first time during a period of more than a quarter of acentury the Democratic National Convention is held while th» affairs of the (rovernment are conducted under a Democratic Administration. Up to the last Presidential Convention the party declared that Democratic meant national ruin, and that, whatever might be said of the crimes and transgres- sions of those then in authority, yet to no other keeping could the welfare of the United States be confided. The doctrine was repudiated at the polls, | Republican | SUCCESS | and the experience of almost four years has | demonstrated that the assertions and charges were unwarranted and were wrong.

No public servant ever responded to the calls of duty more fully or in better faith than our honored President.

For years it had been generally conceded that it was necessary to reform the tariff. The existing laws upon the subject had been | | | | called into being during the excitements and | because of the exigencies of war. The Republican party, while not denying the necessity for reform has ever failed to suggest any remedy, and has uniformly thwarted tne efforts of the Democracy to | afford the needed relief. The present Administration has realized the promises made by the Democratic Con- vention of IS-4+. It has sought to reduce taxation and lighten the burdens of the people | and to reduce the revenue so as to prevent accumulation in the Treasury, and has at the | Same time taken the requisite steps to foster and protect home _ industries. couraged the centralization of wealth and has It has dis- | enabled, as far as the circumstances would | | permit, those in the less favored walks of life to enjoy the benefits of their exertions. In other words, the Democratic Administra- tion has used its utmost endeavors to faith- | fully carry out the platform upon which our great reform victory was achieved. If the tariff has not been modified it was because of the Republican obstruction. existence of an enormous surplus in the Treasury threatens the industries , country and is a constant source of injury to | the consumer and to them ; of moderate means. who find it difficult to procure mone- SS S | | WH) / / N eat | Wy ang Hi) | / ‘5 TL i LL) (MO? 1) ee LUE MUE VELAND. tary assistance because of the withdrawal of a large portion of the circulating me- dium. This unfortunate situation is directly at- tributed to the policy of the Republican party, whose aim has ever been to encourage and enrich monopolies and to ignore the in- terest of the masses. During the Republican dominancy many millions of acres of public domain passed into the hands of corpurate and foreign syn- dicates formed for the creation of individual fortunes. The obligations imposed as_ conditions precedent to the investure of etitle were per- sistently violated by the beneficiaries, and these violations passed unheeded until the Democratic Administration, in conformity with the doctrines of the party, declared the forfeiture, thus tendering to those seeking homes in good faith more than forty millions of acres which had been withheld by the Re- publican party for the benefit of the selfish few. In accordance with the views of the Presi- dent, a statute has been enacted preventing the acquisition of lands by those not citizens of the United States, and restricting the | power of corporations to obtain title to realty in the Territories. If the preceding Re- publican administrations had adopted the present Democratic policy there would have been preserved a home for settlers locating in good faith on the immense tracts of fertile soil now in the hands of corporations and foreign speculators. . For years universal attention has been di- rected to the dangers of Chinese immigra- tion. The advent of hordes of pagan slaves disciplined to starvation and inured to un- remunerative toil has rightly been considered destructive of the interests of labor and a menace to the Republic. The Democracy, unlike its political adver- saries, has always been with the people upon The Administration has entered into a treaty with the Chinese Empire which must result in excludiag the Mongolian from it possible to prevent the perpetration of the frauds upon our immigration laws now prac- ticed by that race, and to preserve us from the evils of servile competition. Thus, after repeated Republican failures. we have reached a successful settlement of the question which justly agitated a vast number of our citizens, and with which Re- publican leaders have proved themselves in- competent to deal. I cannot permit myself to dweil at any length upon the many subjects which this occasion suggests—-cannot permit myself to point out the benetits which have accrued to all from the wisdom and prudence of our Chief Executive. ; The proprieties of the hour bid me hasten to the performance of the duties incident to the place. Suflicait tosay that the re-elec- tion of Grover Cleveland is demanded by the patriotic sentiment of the land. ; The Republican party is struggling for ife. Itcannot long survive, country the noblest aspiration of an Ameri- can citizen. Unable to reinstate themselves upon any meritorious issue, corrupt politicians, whose transzressicns have excluded them from of- fice, seek restoration to authority by endeav- oring to revive the buried issues of past gen- erations, but these unseemly efforts have failed. Those who participated in the strug- gle are not anxious to renew it. The agita- tors of today are in most instances non- combatants. Anew generation has come upon the scene. The young voters know not the war only through tradition and history. They are ardent, ambitious and enlightened. They look with aversion upon every attempt to lead them into impertinent discussion: they are anxious for present success and future honors and happiness. They are too busy with the practical affairs of life to engage in useless controversy. They love their country better than the de- lusion of an empty name. They knew that the glory and advance- ment of the Republic is dependent upon general co-operation. While they are proud of their fathers’ heroic deeds, they yet be- lieve that unkind words and exaggerated references to the past are not promotive of present harmony or future happiness, and that an Administration which treats all alike, and recognizes that there is no dis- tinctions before the law of race or station, is best calculated to further the general in- terest and to perpetuate the blessings of liberty. The intelligent elector whose judgment is untainted by prejudice is prepared to again intrust this Government to the Democratic party. That that organization has accom- plished so much notwithstanding the con- tinued opposition of its foes is ample evidence that during the next four years its policy will be finally and completely adopted. The coming contest will result in the triumph of Democracy. Nominees of this Convention will be the chosen of the people, will henceforth be unable to retard the pro- gress of our country. After the applause following Chair- man White’s speech, Governor Green, of New Jersey, said: ‘‘Mr. President, I offer the following resolution.” The resolution was sent to the Secretary and was read, as follows: Resolved, That the rules of the Jast Demo- cratic Convention govern this body until otherwise ordered, subject to the following modification: That in voting for candidates shall be allowed to change its vote until the roll of States has been called and every State has cast its votes. Mr. Showalter (Mo. )—Mr. Chairman, I rise to a point of orcer, that the resolu- | tion at this time is out of order, for we Its extended | incumbency was due to the fears and doubts | succeeding the civil conflict. These forebod- ings have been removed by time and thought: anil honest opinion, in spite of illegal force openly used, notwithstanding criminal efforts defeating the public will as expressed at the bailot box, has driven unworthy servants from office and has summoned to power an Administration to which no stain or suspl- cion has ever attached. This was done when the world doubted whether afres government could be main- tained here and whether our citizens were strong enonzh to control the agents of their own selection who defied the power of those from whom their authority proceeded. It was accomplished despite the perpetra- tion of that crime against the elective fran- chise which deprived the Democracy of the | fruits of victory and the whole people of the The | } : | he was nominated let it be said: of the, services of that great statesman and true American, Samuel J. Tilden. Here where ‘Peace to his ashes: he discharged great duties greatly.” His name shall be transmitted as an example of one who, rather than disturb public tran- quillity, sacrificed upon the altar of his don’t know until the report of the Coim- mittee on Credentials who compose this Convention. The Chairman—The point of order is not sustained, for this reason, that we mect here as a deliberative body, and I suppose for personal purposes we can adopt any rules that we wish. These rules would not obtain. of course, if they were not adopted by the Convention after the report of the Committee on Credentials. I will say, however, that I don't see that they can be ma le applicable at this time, since the subject matter to which they are directe will not come before this body until that time. I suggest, Gov- ernor, that, although I think the resolu- tion in order, it might be well to let it stand over. Gov. Green—I- think it has always been customary to adopt them. The Chairman—T he House ‘will then vote on the question of their adoption. ; " i ie, oe a : . as ; es . The vote was almost unanimous in: favor of the resolution. : A SOLID SILVER GAVEL, Mr. Patterson (Col.)—In behalf of Col-! orado’s Democracy I crave the ind i of this convention to ut to it, for use | by its Chairman, a solid silver gavel. _ Mr. Patterson then held up the gavel, | which created great applause. Con-' tinuing, he said: ‘‘It was wrought from Colorado mines and fashioned by Colo- rado artisans. It is the modest offerin of the youngest member of the Fed Union to that party that restored silver te the monetary plane from which it was degraded through the Republican Con- gressional conspiracy of 1873, and that has ever since remained its consistent champion. May the announcement be made to the civilized world through its silvery tones of the second unanimous nomination of the people’s choite for President—Grover Cleveland!” (Great applausc. ) The Chairman—Gentlemen of the Con- vention, if there is no objection, and I assume that there will be none, this pres- ent will be deemed accepted. It is solid silver, and, so far as @ gavel can do it, you will have to be ruled by silver. (Applause.) THE COMMITTEE ROLL CALL. Senator Gorman, of Maryland, up the following resolution, whic read by the Secretary : Resolved, That the roll of States and Terri- tories be now called and that cach delegation name one member to act as a member of Committee on Credentials, one member on the Committee on Permanent Organization, and one member on the Committee on Reso- lutions, and that all resolutions in relation to the platform of the Democratic party be re- ferred to said committee without debate. The Chairman—Do you move its adop- tion, Senator/ Senator Gorman—Yes, sir. The Chairman—It is moved and sec- onded that the resolution as read be adopted. Are you ready for the ques- tion? (Cries of ‘‘Question!”’) All in favor of the motion signify by saying, Aye. Those opposed signify by saying, No. Ayes, carried. Mr. Secretary, will you please call the roll of States alpha- detically. The Secretary called the roll, and as each State was called the Chairman of the delegation responded, with the names of members of the Committee on Reso- lutions, Permanent Organization and Credentials, as decided upon by the va- rious States before the Convention met. assed. was THE COMMITTEES, The following are the committees as officially announecd: _ Permanent Organization—Jesse F.

When Kentucky was called and the ‘member for the Committee on Fesolu- tions was announced to be Henry Watter- gon, a storm of app!ause swept through the hall which did not cease for some minutes. There was also much applause when Texas reported its member of the Platform Committee— George Clark. Dakota's name being reached, Mr. O’Brien, of Minnesota, spoke up, saying: “In Dakota there is acontest. There are two delegations from Dakota attend- ing this Convention. No committee, no delegates from Dakota, should _parti- cinate in the proceedings of this Con- vention until the contest is decided.” The Chairman—Do you make a motion? Mr. O’Brien--I move that all parties claiming to be delegates from Dakota be excluded until the report of the Com- mittee on Credentials is made. The Chairman—You make that as an absolute motion, notas an amendment? Mr. O’Brien— Yes, sir, asa motion. The motion was put and carried. The roll-call was now at an end and the Chairman announced that the com- mittees on Platform, Permanent Organi- zation and Credentiais would meet at 5 p. w.; the two latter in rooms adjoin- ing the convention hall and the Com- mittee on Platform at the grand pa:lors of the Southern Hotel, the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. A QUESTION OF CLUBS. W. H. Pucey, of Iowa, next suggested | that the hall be left open during the re-_ cess for inspection Sergeant-at-Arms instructed to places for all the uniformed clubs. Ex- Governor Abbett, of New Jersey. excited applause by the statement that there was no difference between uniformed clubs and un-uniformed clubs. several other speeches, the whole matter was disposed of by being referred to the National Committee. ADJOURNED UNTIL WEDNESDAY. Roswell P. Flower, of New York, then moved a recess until noon Weduesday. Ex-Governor Abbett ob ected, and sug- ested 10 a. w., on the ground that he Aeibed to see the President renominated to-morrow, and not on the third day. The majority settled the question in favor of Governor Abbett, and at pre- cisely 2 o’clock the convention took a recess until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.

We need not wait for time to do justice to the character and service of ident Cleveland. Honest, clear-sighted, patient, Ecoundes in res for law and justice, he as nobly fulfilled the promise of his party, nobly met the expectations of his country and written his name high on the scroll where future Americans wiil read only the names of men who have been supremely use- ful to the republic. Fellow Democrats, this is but the initial meeting in a political cam- paign destined to be memorable. It will be a clashing of nearly even forces. Let no man here or elsewhere belittle or underestimate the strength or resources of the opposition. But, great as they are, the old mocratic party, in conscious stren, and perfect union, faces the issue fearlessly. At the conclusion of Mr: Collins’s speech, which was frequently interrupted ALLEN G.

The climax of this remarkable scene was reached wheh the banners of all the by applause, a resolution was adopted giving representatives from the woman’s convention, recently held in Washington, the right to be heard.

I greet you, my countrymen, with frater- nal regard. In your presence I bow to the majesty of the people. The sight itself is in- spiring, the thought sublime. You come from every State and Territory, from ever nook and corner of our ocean-bound, conti- nent-covering country. You are about to discharge a more than imperial duty. With simplest ceremonials, you as representatives power mightier than a monarch, yet checked and controlled by the supreme law of a writ- ten constitution. Thus impressed I ascend the rostrum to name the next President of to the convention and pledges her electoral vote. Delegations from the thirty-eight States States were borne by the delegates to 'the New York standard and draped about it. At this the enthusiasm was unbounded. Spectators and delegates tore the red white and blue bunting from the pillars and frem the face of the balconies, waving these improvised banners all over the hall for ten minutes. The Chairman kept rapping for order, but the cheering continued, and horns were blown in the galleries.. The dele- ee gathered in groups, waving their tate banners high in the air, and cheer- ing with renewed vigor. The cheering ceased after twenty-four minutes. The Kentucky delegation asked and was granted unanimous consent to second the nomination. James A. Mc- | Kenzie was recognized, and there was ‘renewed cheering at his mention of Cleveland's name. and wild enthsiasm at his reference to Mrs. Cleveland. Judge Twiggs, of Georgia, Mr. Morrison, of ‘Illinois, H. W. Lightfoot, of Texas, and others seconded Mr. Cleveland’s nomina- tion. — a: The roll call was then completed, and a motion of Mr. McKenzie to suspend the rules was carried, and Cleveland was nominated by acclamation. The Convention then adjourned until 10 a. M. the following day. THIRD DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Sr. Lours, June 7.— The Convention was callel to order at 10:31 by Chairman Collins.

To stand by your favor in this place, so often filled by the foremost men in our great party, is a distinction of the highest charac- ter, and an honor for which Iam _ profound- ly grateful. In performing the delicate and difficult service to which you have assigned me, I can scarcely hope to justify the wis- dom of your choice.

That the Treasury of the United States, glutted with unneeded gold, oppresses industry, embarrasses business, en- dangers financial tranquility and breeds ex- travagance, centralization and corruption. That high taxation, vital for the expendi- tures of an unparalleled war, is robbery in years of prosperous peace. That the millions that pour into the Treasury come from the hard-earned savings of the American people. That in violation of equality of rights the present tariff has created a privileged class, who, shaping legislation for their personal gain, levy by law contributions for the neces- saries of life from every man, woman and child in the land. That to lower the tariff is not free trade, it is to reduce the unjust profits of monopolists and home manufactur- ers and allow consumers to retain the rest. The man who asserts that to lower the tariff means free trade insults intelligencs. We brand him as a falsifier. It is farthest from thought to imperil capital or disturb enter- prises. The aim is to uphold wages and protect the rights of all. This has rescued the public domain from wouR-be barons and cormor- ant corporations faithless to obligations and reserved it for free homes for this and com- ing generations. There is no _ pilfering. There are no jobs under this administration. Public oftice is a public trust. Integrity stands guard at every point of our vast em- pire.

Clerk then proceeded to real the Reso- lutions, which were received with fre- quent cheers. The reading of the plat- form was concluded amid great ap- plause. Mr. Watterson stated it had been adopted unanimously by the Com- mittee. The platform is as follows: THE PLATFORM. The Democratic party of the United States in National Convention assembled, renews the pledge of its fidelity to Democratic faith and reaffirms the platform adopted by its representatives in the Convention of 1884, and indorses the views expressed by Presi- dent Cleveland in his last annual message to Congress as the correct interpre- tation of that platform upon the question of tariff reduction; and also indorses the effort of our Democratic repre- sentatives in Congress to secure a reduction of excessive taxation. Chief among its principles of pawty faith are the maintenance of an indissoluble union of free and inde- structible States. now about to enter upon its second century of unexampled pro- and renown; devotion to a plan regulated by a_ writ- ten constitution strictly specifying every granted power, and_ expressly reserving to the States or people the entire ungranted residue of power; the encourage- ment of a jealous popular vigilance directed to all who have been chosen for brief terms to enact and execute the laws, and are charged with the duty of preserving peace, ensuring equality and establishing justice. The Democratic party welcome an exact- ing scrutiny of the administration of the ex- ecutive power which four years ago was committed to its trust in the election of Grover Cleveland President of the United States, and it challenges the most searching inquiry concerning its fidelity and dae- votion to the pledges which then in- vited the suffrages of the people. During a most critical period of our financial affairs, resulting from overtaxation, the anomalous condition of our currency and a public debt unmatured, it has, by the adoption of a wise and conservative course, not only averted disaster, but greatly pro- moted the prosperity of the people. It has reversed the improvident and unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain, and has reclaimed from cor- porations and syndicates, alien and domes- tic, and restored to the people nearly one hundred millions of acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as homesteads for our citizens. ‘While carefully guarding the interest of the people and conforming strictly to the principles of justice and equal- ity, it has paid out more for pensions and bounties to the soldiers and sailors of the Republic than was ever paid before during an equal period. By intelligent management and a judicious and economical expenditure of the public money it has set on foot the reconstruction of the American navy upon a system which of government | forbids the recurrence of scandal/and insures | | successful results. It has adopted and consistenly pursued a | firm and prudent foreign policy, preserving | peace with all nations while scrupulously | maintaining all the rights and interests of our | own Government and people at home and abroad. The exclusion from our shores of Chinese ' laborers has been effectually secured under | the provisions of a treaty, the operation of | which has been postponed by the action of a | Republican majority in the Senate. | Honest reform in the civil service has been | inaugurated and maintained by President | Cleveland, and he has broaght the public ser- vice to the highest standard of efficiency, not Hats were waved and | only by rule and precept, but by the exam- thrown into theair, bandannas streamed | ple of his own untiring and unselfish ad- out allover the hall, and the dclegates jumped on their chairs and cheered madly. A picture of Cleveland in the White House was uncovered on the east wall, and the bands played ‘‘Hail to The cheering and uproar continued, spectators in the gallery tear- ing flags from the rails and waving them in the air. Some one on the stage crowned the bust of the President on the left with a laurel ‘wreath, which was for even a wilder burst of | shouts and cheers than before. Although ministration of public affairs. In every | branch and department of the Government ' under Democratic control, the rights and the | wellfare of all the Pecos have been guarded _and defended: every public interest has been protected, and the equality of all our citizens _ before the law, without regard to race or | color, has been steadfastly maintained. Upon its record thus exhibited, and upon | the pledge of a continuance to the people of the Lenefits of a good Government. the National Democracy invokea renewal of popular trust by the re-election of a Chief Magistrate who hus been faithful, able, and prudent. They invoke,in addition to that trust,the transfer to , the Democracy of the entire legislative power. | e 5 | i ; B I R R » E t t 4 i F i d f EE Ee fy pe e ‘a e i q 8 5 | E home capital is disturbed with doubt, and unequal, unjust laws can never be properly aménded repealed. _— The Democratié& party will continue with all the power confided to it to to re- form these laws in accordance wi! § lation. All unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. It is repugnant to the of Democracy that by such taxation the cost of the necessaries of life should be unjustly increased to all our people. Judged by Democratic princi the interests of the people are betrayed when by unnecessary taxation trusts and combines are permitted which will un- duly enrich the fe (lena by depriving, them Of the citizens y de em e benefit of nataral competition. Every Democratic rule of gqvernmental action is vitiated when through - un taxation a vast sum of money be yond tbe needs of an economical adminis- tration isdrawn from the people and the channels of trade, and accuttfiulated as a demoralizing surplus in the National Treas- tbe money now lying idle in the Federal Treasury, resulting from superfluous taxa- tion, amounts to more than _ §$125,- ,000, and the surplus collected is reaching the sum of more than ¢60,- 000,000 annually. Débauched by this Ereat temptation, the remedy of the Repub- ican party is to meet and exhaust it by ex- travagant taxation. The Democratic remedy is to enforce frugality in public expen- ditures and abolish unnecessary taxa- tion. Our established domestic industries and enterprises should not and need not be endangered by a reduction and correc- tion of the burdens of taxation. On the con- | trary, a fair and careful revision of our tax laws with due allowance for the difference | between the wages of American and foreign |labor, must promote and encourage everv | branch of such industry and enterprise by giving them assurance of an extended | market and steady and continuous opera- | tion in the interest of American labor, | which should in no event be neglected. | The revision of our tax laws, contem- plated by the Democratic party is to promote the advantage of such labor b | cheapening the cost of the necessaries of life | in the home of every workingman, and at | the same time securing to him steady and re- | munerative employment. | Upon this question of tariff reform, so | closely concerning every phase of our na- tional life, and upon every question involved in the problem of g government, the | Democratic party submits its principles and | professions to the intelligent suffrages of the | American people. | Mr. Watterson made a telling speech, saying here was a platform upon which | all Democrats could stand without feel- ing they were away from home. |Cheers.[ It was a declaration of principles to | which Democrats. coul subscribe without looking around the _ cor- | ner. [ Cheers. | It embodied a , statement of facts incontrovertible. It | delocalized the cause of reform and gave it a language which meas be spoken alike in New Jersey and in Ohio, in | Massachusetts and in Texas. Its face was set in the right direction, and its eyes looked upon the rising and not the setting sun. Mr. Watterson concluded amid great applause and introduced Senator Gor- man, who was heartily. received, and made aspeech, saying that the promises made by the Democratic party at the Chicago Convention four years ago had all been carried out. When Senator Gorman had concluded, Colonel Watterson moved the adoption _of the report, and upon this moved the | previous question. It was ordeted, and the platform was unanimously adopted with rousing cheers. Mr. Watterson then announced that the committee had approved and re- quested the passage, without discussion, of three resolutions. The first was read by the Hon. W. L. Scott and demanded the immediate passage of the Mills bill, now pending in the House of Representatives, for the reduction of the revenue. Cheer after cheer came from the audience, and they were renewed when the reso- lution was unanimously adopted. After this the Hon. W. F. ]_ehmann, of Iowa, mounted the platform to submit a resolution declaring that Dakota, Washington, Montana and New Mexico Territories were entitled to ad- mission to the Unicn as States. This resolution also went through with en- thusiasm. Governor Abbett, of New Jersey, next mounted the steps of the platform. and after the applause, which greeted his ap- pearance, had subsided, he read a resolu- tion of sympathy with the down-trodden ‘of all nations and particularly the Irish ‘people. Long continued applause was given the names of Parnell and Glad- stone and the reference to home rule, and the resolution was quickly passed. C. M. Baker, of Ohio, secured unan- imcus consent for the reading ofa resolu- tion of respect to the memory of ex- Vice-President Hendricks, paying trib- ute to his statesmanship, patriotism and fidelity and tendering to his widow the affectionate respect and sympathy of the Democracy of the United States. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote, and when the delegates were seated the chair announced that there was a slight mistake 1n the statement that the Committee on Platform was unanimous in its agreement. Mr. Cooper, of New York, he said, objected to a part of it. A murmur of surprise went through the hall at this statement, and now the convention began to get down to the most important business of the day. A motion was made by Lieutenant Gover- nor White of California that the roll should be called for the nomination of candidates for the Vice-Presidency. It was so ordered, and the clerk began to call the roll. | When California was reached Delegate _Tarpie put in nomination Allen G. Thur- /man, of Ohio, in a speech which -was cheered to the echo. Mr. Tarpie spoke as follows: | THURMAN NOMINATED. | Mr. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN—This is | indeed a most pleasant duty which through | the kindness of my friends I have been chosen to perform, and I am truly grateful to my associates who have so honored me.

Four years since the California delegation put forward Mr. Thurman as their candidate for the Presidency, and were enthusiastic in pose his nomination. But fowr years have but augmented their reverence and affection for him. The triot of Columbus cannot be allowed wither in retirement. His fame is not his alone; it is the proud heritage of the American people. His name may be most fittingly, coupled with that of our honored President, Grover Cleveland. Cleveland and Thurman will be a ticket absolutely in- vincible. It will sweep the country with a mighty rush. a tidal wave of approval. Against it all opposition will be fruitless Let no mistake be made this time—mis- takes arecrimes. If you but do your duty, if you but give the people what they expect, what they demand, the contest of parties in- stead of just commencing will be practically ended For the great electoral and popular majorities which Cleveland and Thurman will surely receive at the polls will be a rev- elation even to ourselves. As representa- tives of the Democracy of the nation we have a duty to perform. We must nominate the man the people have already nominated. We have but to endorse the popular ver- dict; no less will be accepted at your hands. Let no consideration of personal friendship or lamour of locality influence your action. ersonal friendship cannot be repaid by nomination where a great party's interest and future are at stake No trifling with great concerns of State should be tolerated: no expression of local ride can be admitted to influence action. hen the sovereign people speak they must be obeyed. Broad ground must be taken. The man of the nation, not the man of the State, must be nominated. Allen G. Thurman.

' A Washington letter, dated June oth, shows what occurred in the House | Democratic caucus in regard to the ‘repeal uf the Internal Revenue laws: | “Since the action of Col. Cowles }and Col. Johnson in caucus last weelf, j the delegation has uae to vote for ithe Mills bill, provided they are given ‘a fair show on the floor of the House {to offer and discuss the amendments Hintended to repeul or greatly amelio- | rate the internal revenue system. If ‘anything 13 done in this particutar, es- : pecial credit will he due to the Hon. |W. Hi. H. Cowles, who boldly took the jinitative and declared last Monday jnight that he would bolt the caucus | before he would bind himself not to | vote for any amendment which would lessen in any wayeany of the iniquitous | burdens imposed by the internal reve- jnue system. Ata later caucus Col. | Cowles made a speech which created -consjderable excitement. He spoke ,foreibly and to the point. He declar- jed dhat no arbitrary ruling of any ' Democratic caucus should prevent him from using his utmost endeavors to ‘carry out the known will ef his constit- ‘uents. To them and to the Democrat- ic party of North Carolina he first lowed allegiance. The convention ~which had just renominated him had rinstructed him anew as to what his iduty was in this partienlar, and that -daty be did not intend to. shirk for any possible consideration. So far ag it was in his power to effectvither a ‘repeal of the whole system, or the abo- ition of the froit brandy tax. or any Other modification of the internal rev- rene law, as it exists, if should be ex- erted to the utmost. He demanded as aright that he should be-heard on the Hoor of the House on this snbject. and no enueas would ever bind him not to exercise that vight to the utmost limit. Col. Johnson then arose and suid that Col, Cowles’ position coieid- ed entirely with his own; that he, too, would refuse to consent to be beunc by caucus action ina matter of such vitul importance to his constituents. Mr. Mils then took the floor, and en- deavored to convinee Col. Cowles that concessions had already been mace to the North Carolina delegation. Col reped to hin firmly bad courteously. and told him it was im- }possible for him to vote for his bill withonta chance to also vote for the pamendinents which his people demand. el should be added tothe bill. Tf this ‘change showld be given to the North Carolina delegation on the floor of the i House, and they should fail in’ effect- jing anything in this direction, they would then vote for the Mills bill, but the attempt must be made on the floor 'of the House of Representatives. Col ‘Rowland then suggested that the can- feus should) wait the action of the / North Carolina Convention, then in jsession, He thought the platform, as Henunciated by that Convention, would | bea guide to the delegation as to what ‘their course should be. That platform. ite my nnd, settles the matter bevond the shadow of a donbt, and binds the | North Carolina delegation to take a istrone position for every possible re- | pest of the internal revenne law. Col. ; McClammy stated at this cauens thai the felt assured North Carolina contd be rehed on to rol] up a vood Demo- Peratic majority, no matter what be- Icame of the Mulls bill or of the inter- inal revenue sytem. Since. this last reancus, and since the adjournment of j the State couvention at- Raleigh. the lsentiment of the delegation is abo: t jthis: ‘They will support the Mills bill iif they ire allowed to give the amend- fmenis they desire to add to it a fur jshowing on the floor of the Hanss, Tf | theseamendments shonld be offered and prejeeted they are then prepared to do all pin they power by their votes and in- i nence to contribute to party harmony | und pass the Mills bill with or without ithe alterations they now urge. 1 do | pot think there is a man in‘the deleca- tion who will recede from this position.

There was near our I log-meeting howse, u “union= meeting house,” and also for school purposes. The Primitive Baptist — “Hardshells’--occupied this — house once a month, and the Methodist preacher on the circuit preached in it once a month. The relations betaveen’ the two churches were not as cordial as they ought to have been, seeing they professed to be first-class Christians. The Baptist did not attend Methodist preaching, nor did the Methodists go to hear the Baptist preacher. It was very seldom that any one, except Cuff, ever went from our house to Baptist meeting vet that dog never failed to be present on Saturday and Sunday of the Baptist monthly meeting. This might have been passed over without. remark if he had also attended the Methodist preaching, but he was care- ful never to put his foot inside the door on the day the Methodist preach- er held forth. My brother and I notic- ed this strange partiality for the Baptist remonstrated with him after the fash- ion of boys with dogs. but all our scolding and whipping were in vain. Cuff seemed to be “set. in his nations ” and our perseentions, of which I am now ashamed, only seeming to make him more devout and constant in his attendance upon Baptist meetings. The conduct of the dog attracted at- tention, and he beeame the subject of remark. Some things were said by our Baptist friends more complimentary to the dog than to hf master; however, master stood very well in the neighbor- hood. ‘The only point of invidious comparison was in reference to ques- tions of theology and denominational affiliation; m these matters the dog was considered more orthodox than his master. 2. Matters went on for sever- al years in this way, the dog still faith- fal to the Chureh of bis choice, and his straixge conduct the subject of oc- easional remark, when the Baptist congregation built a new church, two miles and a half from the old) school- house where they formerly worshipped. On the day the new ehurch was dedi- eated Caff was present, though not a nected with us went to church. How he learned of the change in the place of worship and the tine of the dedica- tion was a mystery te everybody, not understand it to-day. And so, reg- dlarly every month, as long as ye was able to walk, did that faithful old dog attend the Baptist church at yrount Harmony, two miles and a half from home.

June 6.—It has ialways been a superstition among the 'railroad men that one necident on a railroad, no. matter how nnusnal the circumstances connected with it might be, is certain to be followed by two more of a similar character in a short time. The truth of this has been noted repeatedly, but neyer in so strik- ing a manner as in three reeent oceur- rences. These three accidents were ulso attended by a piece of good for- tune to one individual that makes ‘these sccurrences still more remarable. B. W. Williams is employed by a and lumber. His business tukes him to various parts of the country. A fort- night ago he was in the north-western part of West Virginia. He had busi- ness at a lumber station in the moun- tains known as Slider's Mills. A harrow-guage railroad runs by heavy gion. No passenger train ever run on this road. = Williams’ had intended to pe the mills in the caboose of a reight or lumber train. He had tak- en his place in the caboose when he learned that there was some doubt ahout his being able to get back in time to keep an important enguge- ment, and he made up his mind to postpone the trip. The train was in motion when he came to this conelu- sion, but he jumped off. While the train Was going up one of the steepest grades on this road it broke in two, the caboose and two of the cars separating from the other cars and at once stert- jug back down the mountain. The conductor and brakeman were in the caboose. The speed of the runaway cars became te.riftic. and at last they | were thrown from the track. They jplunged down a steep embankment. wnd the conductor and the brakeman were crushed to death in the wreck of the caboose. Tuesday of last week Williams was in the Pocono lumber region, in Mon- roe county, Penn., along the line of the Delaware and Lackawna Railrond. He } was at a mill near L’ocono’Sammit, at i which place he was to board the ea-| ij bouse of an east-bound stock train. | ' He got to the station just in time to! see the train passing ont. — His disap- ‘pointment was great, as he had an agreement to meet a man in Strouds- | burg on important h=siness. An hour or so later his pleasures. missmg the grades and sharp curves into this re-- phones. Some time after that Wil- iams was riding on « locomotive on the Atlantic & Great Western Rail- road. He knew the engineer, and for cab. Finally he vacated it and the engineer sat down. The change had scarcely been made when the connect- ing rod on that side of the locomotive broke. The heavy portion next the the enb was whirled backward, ard crashed through the end of the cab, crashing the engineer to death. A Good Country for Poor Boys. The United States is the best evantry in the world for poor boys. Young America xlwavs has a chance to Tee No boy in the Hinited States. however poor he is, or Hotter ; reopitte may seem, need fear to strike out Papen for himself. If he has good health, determination and ability, the possi- bilities before him can scarcely .be limited. About forty years ago a schooner founded in Lake Erie, not far from the Ohio shore. A few hours later an infant boy, tied to a mattress and sup- ported by life preservers, was found by afarmer. The previous history of the child could “not be learned, ‘and the farmer adopted him as his son. After eighteen years on the farm —odd Scru ps of time having meanwhile been spent in study—the boy obtained the posi- tion of janitor in a school, and strug- gled manfully to pay for his tuition and get.an education. In spite of the interruptions to his studies, he ranked with the brightest boys, and was re- marked for his fixedness of purpose. He went back to the farm, and after his day’s work was done, read law by the light of the kitchen fire. Subse-: quently he was admitted to the bar, worked hard, distinguished himself, and was elected a judge. Some years later he was sent to Congress, where he is now known as Edward Lane, the Representative from the seventeenth congressional district of Ilinois. This sketch from actual life shows what golden opportunities lie within the grasp of the poorest boys in this Republic, if they only do their best in whatever circumstance Providence may place them. “| The Negroe's Lack.

No road in this ecoun- try encounters such steep erades or makes such short curves is this lumber railroad, — It is contined entirely to traffic in lumber and freight. = Wil- hams had gone up the road to Steck- ler’s Mills. He had intended to return that same afternoon to make a con- nection for Bradford. Before the train he was to take came along he conelud- ed for some reason to wait until tne next day. The train consisted of five cars loaded with Inmber, one freight car, the engine and. a caboose. In going down what is known as the Hazleton Mall grade the trainmen lost control of the train. = It dashed down the mountain at terrific speed, and ata sharp curve near Belknap’s Camp left ‘white | White people of the State are for the ed. is paid for the most past, by the people of the State, and the /most part in the Democratic party. | Notwithstanding this evidence of phi-' lanthropy, the main body of the color- ed voters of the State, unite with and | insignificant band of white Republicans, | in opposition to the Democratie purty.

Mr. Outhwaite cheered the boys up considerably by telling of a remark- able crab-apple-tree in Ohio that has never bloomed except in the year that the Demoerats have carried the State. 1{t bloomed this year. | The House Committee on foreign af- fairs have reported favorably the bill providing for a permanent exposition in Washington to celebrate in 1892 the 40Uth. anniversary of the discovery of America, and to be participated in by all the Goveraments of the three Amer- icas, Considering the fact that fully one | third of its entire membership is in at- tendance upon the Chicago convention, | Congress 1s getting along fairly well.

Salisbury catcher&$ were all outoftown and a telegram was sent to Greensboro for the Greensboro club to send one by the noon train, but owing to their having & game to play the same day they could not spare one. When this was known several of our players refused to play, but a nine was got together which embraced only three uf our regular team, and a game was play- ed which resulted in a score of 23 to 1 in favor of Concord.

Lying under his right hand was a pistol with which he had shot himself through the heart, while near him was a bottle with about a teaspoonful of whiskey in it. Nothing could be told about his features as the birds had completely destroy- ed them. : The verdict of the Coroner’s jury was that he hed come to his death by a pés- tol shot from his own hind. His body was not moyed, but buried where it was found, The Charlotte Chronicle natices the case, but says the man is unknown to the parties whose business cards were found on the body. It will probably never be known who fills the lone grave in the woods. A sad, a melancholy termina- tion of a life career, when a strong man goes out thus. Is there no one in all the world who cared for him, nor any. for whom he cared! No one watching and waiting for his return! No one praying that he may be delivered from his en- slavement to passion and ‘‘come to him- self” and repent of his wasted prospects in life!—are some of the thoughts which fills the mind as the carth closes over a life so sadly ended. —— > | Musical.

We understand that all work on this property has stopped for the present, with the exception of the pumps that keep the water out of the mine and a few necessary hands; that the only work going on is that of sluieing with the water which is being lifted. from the shafts; that about three miles of pipe (all that has been received) has been laid, and about one more mile needed to complete the line. We also understand that the company is very heavily inedebt and that Capt. Nance has gone to England. APPALACHIAN MINE. ® We learn that this mine has had ex- tended to it a new lease of life in the shape of a good fat check from Eng- land, in fact five times as much as the Supt. asked for. This mine is fully ejuipped with all the necesgary mod- ern machinery and should pay a profit very soon if at all. REYNOLDS. Quitea force of bands are at work on this property making pyeparations for systematic werk. This property has re- cergly been purchased by an ‘English company and it is their intention to put in machinery and work it for all it is worth. , CONCORD (OLD CROWELL.): The company owning this property has recently ‘tevied an assessment of two cents per share on the capital stock for the purpose of raising a fund for resum- ing work on the property. The work they proprose doing is sinking on the Kimball Hill vein, and they expect to place the mine on a paying basis with the assessments levied, but it remains to be seen whether their expectations will be realized or not. 8AM CHRISTIAN. At this mine the greatest activity pre- vails, boilers and pumps are being erect- ed, foundations being laid and piping put in place. A large force of hands are ew- ployed and work is being rapidly pushed forward, This is a big undertaking, necessitating the expenditure of a large sum of money and we hope it will pay a reasonable dividend. COUNTY LOCALS. Rockwell. Busy times in the country. Peaches and apples are beginning to ripen very nicely. Mrs. T. Lyerly showed us some very fine cucumbers about a week ago. Corn has suffered some from the drouth, but the nice rain this (Saturday) eve will start it off again to grow as rap- idly as before. © ‘ Wheat is nearly all cut and will prob- ably not be over halfacrop, The rust, chince bug and rainy weather has done the work. Oats is splendid, so harvest will in a measure not be so bad after all, We saw some raised by Mr. Callie Miller 64 feet in length. Farmers are vary diversified in their work at present. Some are plowing or working their growing crop, while a large majority are making hay or har- vesting, very rarely stopping long enough talk politics much as they seem interested. About the most common question With farmers now isewho will cut their grass? Quite a number of men who formerly eut grass for their neigh- bors are too busy at. home. Many thanks to our editors for the supplements sent us with the last WATCHMAN. We think that the nomimation of President Cleveland was hailed with joy by all our good old Dem- ocrats. Although not much political talk is heard, still enough is heard to convince us that this section will vote almost wholly Democratic, as usual. Our people seem more interested in who we will send to the Legislature than anything else. Although the most of them seem well pleased with Mr. Over- man’s past services, and have no personal objection to Mr. McCubbins, but they think it will be a poor compromise to send a resident of Salisbury because he was once a farmer. It will be much like the Irishman and Dutchman turkey hunting, the Irishman got the buzzard every time in diyiding. Though we know Mr. McCubbins will look well after the interests of the farmer, still we prefer to trust a farmer, and as most cf the voters are farmers, and also our city friends that they will temember aided them in electing their past repre- sentative, so will they not in return this | year aid us in selecting a good man from the country? We think there are plenty ‘in the country well able to represent us. | Many have been spoken of, among the | most prominent are Prof. L. H. Rothrock and Jeremiah L. Sifford, Esq. As Prof. Rothrock sometimes follows a profession- al life we doubt very much whether he would accept if nominated. Mr. Sifford is by no means an office seeker, but we fee] sure that if he is nominated he will accept. We suggest him because he is better known and his strictly honest life has placed him very high in the estima: tion of all classes. He has been a justice of the peace a number of years and his judgments and advice is often sought for on important matters. Having therefore made the law a study be is prepared for making tew laws—being a farmer be knows the needs of the working class.

Agt., Salish: #, N. 0 S&TISBURY, XK. C., THE PIEDMONT SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA. In writing this description of Rowan | , county, we do not know how we can bet- | ter begin it than by quoting from a New Englander, who has been here and thus Loss of Appetite, describes this section as it appeared to Sick Headache, him.- Hesays: ‘In this section of Baa Breath, etc. the State are to be found grandéroppor- tunities for the safe investment of capital that will speedily prove largely remunerative, and for the planting of colonies of farmers and mechanics than any where else in the United States.” The cities, towns and farm- ing settlements are inhabited by 2 sensible, energetic and neighborly race made themselves prosperous by their own thrift and industry, aided by the salubrity of the climate, the excellence of the soil, the abundance of unfailing water powers, and access to market over perfected systems of railways.” “The North Carolinians believe in free speech, in working for a living, and in maintaining social relations with all decent people, but they have no use for vagabonds or rogues.” “The leading industries of this sec- tion, outside of agriculture and horti- culture, are the manufacture of woolen and cotton fabrics, merchandising, lumbering, getting out hubs, spokes, rims, shuttle blocks and tao] handles; cotton seed oil mills; and the manufac- ture of all forms of tobacco from the very rich and valuable leaf which grows only in this State.” “Since the war several of these in- dustries have risen at a rapid rate, and have poured steady streams of wealth smong the people.” ‘The collection and shipment of dried fruits and medi- cinal herbs are also important industries which bring into the State annually from one to two millions of dollars.” “All these things are but the begin- ning of what may be.” “Cattle, sheep, poultry, horses and mules could be raised with large profit on many a tract of land long owned but never improved.” “Manufacturers of farm wagons, of tin ware, of boots and shoes, of agri- cultural implements, and of cheap fur- niture are wanted.” “But above all, there might be ten farmers and horti- culturalists for every one there is now, besides fruit and vegetable canners, and a ho-t of others with some money and that experience which is better success their respective trades.” ROWAN COUNTY. “Situated near the centre of what is known as the Middle Section of the State, bounded on the east by the Yad- kin and on the north by the South Yad- kin rivers, is one of the most fertile and prosperous counties in the State. Eight large creeks, from five to eight miles apart, intersect the county, making it rich in bottom lands.” Its entire surface is drained by the tributaries of the Yadkin. Its middle and northern section, which lie for the most part above the level of 800 feet, are characterized by an abundance of red clay soils and heavy oak forests, interspersed -with hickory, oak, etc., only the higher parts of the water sheds between the streams showing any growth of pines and having gray and yellow sandy loam soils. About 32 per cent of the county area is tilled land. The Hand Book of North Carolina published under the direction of the Board of Agriculture speaking of this section says : “The houses every where indicate a high degree of thrift and comfort; an unusual proportion are built in modern style and tastefully painted, nestled amidst yards and gard- ens, enclosed with neat painted palings, flanked with orchards of fruit trees, in which aspace is generally allott€d to choice grape vines, they give abundant proof of ease, plenty andin many in- stances of no small degree of luxury.” “In this section nature has distribut- ed her blessings with a bounteous hand. Ite salubrity, the variety and value of its productions, its mineral wealth, its Manufacturing facilities, mark it out as one of the most desirable abodes for man, and a future center of great wealth and population. No where do the con- ditione which are friendly to health, to the finest physical development, to the successful exertion of industries of a -fevery kind, and to rational enjoyment, exist in greater abundange than here.” Rowan county, when taken Geologic- “ally, Lithologically and Mineralogical- of Americans, most of whem have} than money, to introduce and carry to' | FL Ere MANUFACTURING, we , , sane Shoes ‘ee Pe.

Most of the October to the last of December there mines of gold, copper and silver are is an almost uninterrupted succession found in the east and south-east por- of bright sunny days, during which tion of the county in the syenyte and |the air is dry, crisp and pure—a slate formations.

The south and south east portion of the county is principally slate, where the Huronian and Silurian is found. Through the center of the county, | runs in a north-east and south-west course, what is known as the Rowan, or Salisbury belt of granite. The north and west portions of the county is com- posed of the gneiss, schists and syenyte. Syenyte is also found between the granite and slate, in the south and east, and these laurentian rocks run into and graduate from one to the other 9 that in places it is hard to determine where the geological lines can be drawn. EE LITHOLOGICAL. The Lithological structure and chem- ical constituents of these rocks are such, that on exposure and weathering for ages, has been formed a soil composed of soda, lime, potash and other plant foods; hence we have a productive soil for the cultivation of all the cereals, tobacco, cotton, grass, fruit and forest trees. a, MINERALOGICAL. Miaeralogically, Rowan county is one of the most valuable and produc- tive of the State, for here is found in large and paying quantities, gold, in its free state, in small placer and branch washings, and in pay veins, above wa- ter level, but below water level in the veins, which are both slate and quartz, the ores run into pyrites and become refractory. Copper in all its various forms is found in workable veins. Argentiferous Galena (silver bearing lead) ores are found in large clearly de- fined veins. Zinc, in the shape of Blende and Black jack ores, is found also. Magnetic gnd Brown Hemetite Iron ores are found in various places in the county while many of the ac- companying and rarer minerals ace found in the veins while being work- ed for ‘gold, copper and silver.

The granite is a good one, is accessi- ble, and is of such a character as is suitable for any kind of building, pav- ing, toombstone and artistic use. Mining jands are sold cheaply and by the acre, as farms are sold and fee simple title deeds given. The climate permits mining and milling operations all the year. Mine labor from 70 cts to $1.50 per day; cord wood $1.00 to 1.50 per cord delivered; lumber $10.00 per thousand feet. CLIMATE. Among the advantages of our coun- ty there can be no more powerful fac- tor for progress and individual com- fort and happiness than a genial climate. Our county has notifing to lose and every thing to gain by a careful ex- amination on this subject. Asa gen- eral thing especially in the north, the summers in the south are looked upon as being oppressively hot, this is not so, especially in our county; in sum- mer the temperature occasionally goes up as high as 98°, but very seldom above, aud from experience we know that with the temperature at that pqint in our locality, the heat is not near as oppressive as it is in the northern states when several degrees luwer, our nights are cool and pleasant. peach trees are in full bloom. _Below.we give the temperature for the past year (since the weather service has been established here.) The figures are official and correct. The average graded from 100 down. A county ip- stitute is held every year at the ex- pense of the county and all teachers are required, and all scholars ere ine vited, to attend. There is not a in the county but what has i of the public schools and they ate #0 located that no family lives more than two or two and one-half miles away from a school house. “By the State Constitution the schools for white and black are forever separate without dis- crimination in favor, or to the prejudice of either race.” Besides these we have & number of good private schools of high standing in the county, RELIGIOUS FACILITIES. (All of this article in relation to the religious facilities of Rowan, with the exception of the figures, is taken from Dr. Rumple’s “History of Rowan.”’) The early settlers of Rowan county were religious people, and in many in- stances the enjoyment of perfect liberty of conscience was the great object which they were seeking when they were making for themselves a home in the Western world. ‘The poor Pain- tines had endured much’ suffering in their home on the Rhine, and bad been driven forth to seek shelter for their families in foreign lands. They, or their descendants, found a resting place in Eastern Rowan. The Scotch Irish fled from the North of Ireland in consequence of disabilities imposed on them for the sake of their religion. They found a home in the fertile lands of Western Rowan. And with them they brought an intense leve for their own peculiar doctrines and forme of worship. PRESEYTERIANISM. Presbyterianism in Rowan is older than the organization of the coanty, not only in the affections and doctrin- es of the settlers, but in the form of organized Presbyterian congregations. Among the early records we find that in 1853, 24 acres of land were deeded “to a congregation belonging to ye lower meeting bouse between the At- king River and ye Catabo-Do, adhering to a minster licensed from a Presby- tery belonging to the old Synod of Philadelphia”. From this we learn that there was an organized congrega- tion of Presbyterians at this poiat, capable of purchasing land, and its for month is made from temperature ture is taken from self-registering ther- mometers every twenty-four hours.

Rowan county's educational facilities are considered among the best in the State. The general management of the schools is vested in a county board of education which is selected by the county commissioners and magis- trates. Each school district is eon- trollelan@ managei by a board of three of the district, appdinted by the county board upon the recommendation of the patrons-of the district. The county is divided into 82 school districts for the whites and 65 for the colored, and e-ch popular name was the “lower meeting taken each day at 7a. m.2p.m,and 9; house.” Its present name is Thyatira p.m. Thebighest and Jowest tempera-' Presbyterian. There are at present seven Presby- terian churches in the county with a membership of 1212 and presided over - by five pastors. —_——_- LUTHERANISM. Tne Lutheran Charch in Rowan county is composed chiefly, bat not exclusively, of the descendants of those German settlers who began to octupy the coautry about 1745. In the year 1768 a citizen of Salis- bury deeded a lot containing 144 square poles, to a body of Trusteds of the Evangelical Latheran gt tion of the township of Upon this lot now known asthe Lat eran grave yard, the cc Hon 90¢ after erected 1 log or block honse.° This ow known as Bt.

Bhe-Bepiblican Convention. ThetN atioral Convention at Chicago has at lust made» ndmination? Benj. ‘Enérion, of ~Indiana, “and Levi’ P. Morton, of New York, are the unlucky ones. The history of the convention can be written in a few words: it was simply a meeting, a wrangle and an adjourn- ment day after day for a whole week. Now that the nominations are made, the campaign opened and we know who our opponents are, let’s go to work and snow them under, together with the Republican party, s° deep that they will never be resurrected. The plaiform of the Repubhiean party has been pronounced by « meni- ber a “daisy.” ‘It is indeed a flowery production, and presents temptations ‘to all who regard it. It is in favor of every good thing you can name, and opposed to every wrong, dishonest and unconstitutional measure yet known in politics. It might also be called a t net, for it was evidently the design of ‘its authors to eateh votes in every ‘quarter and from every shade and com: iplexion, for it is a promise to all. | [minating from a party'so profligate ‘in practice, and so lacking in public ‘virtue -a party which has constantly [persisted in oppressing the people, by heaping up money in the national treasury and concocting dishonest and ime “Washington Letter.

NESSIE rt O11 ome Cee Ten osha Ce neta cele tion committee to give to President Cicyeland a formal notice of his nomination as Presideut of the United States, accompanied by the mem- bers of the national committee, called at the executive mansion at 2 o'clock this afternoon and were ushered into the east room. This was fragrant with the pertume wf flowers, which were banked against the great mirrors, and from plants and flowers which were sot against the walls, a hollow square was tomned trom west to east. Into this square the President came, followed by Mrs. Cleveland ou the arm of Secretary Bayard. Among those present who witressed a simi- lar scene at Albany, N.Y., four years ago. were the Rev W. M. Cleveland, the President's broth- er, of Forest Park, N. Y., Mrs. W. E. Hoyt, of Fayetteville. N. Y., the President's sister. Col. wnd Mrs. Lamont, and Mr. W. S. Bissell, of Bnf- falo. Others present to-day were Secretary and Mrs. Fairchild, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Secretary and Mrs. Endicott, Secretary Vilas, Postmaster General aud Mrs. Dickenson. Mr. Ben Folsom. Mrs. Cleveland stood by the <i le of Secretary Bayard; she was dressed ina light colored close fitting dress, and her face was wreathed ip smiles. The cabinet officers aud their ladies were in a line near her. The Pee- sident stepped out in the hollow square a few steps in front of his wife. He was dreese! in a conventional Prince Albert coat with turacd down collar and looked serious. Chairman Collins, of the notifiextion com- mittee, advanced a tew steps forwar{oand in an earnest speech said : “Mr. Cleveland: We come as a comunittec. authorized and instructed by the National Derm ocratic convention recently held in .st. Lows. to convey a formal notice of its action ii nam- ing you for the office of President of the Uni- ted States during the next four years. It would ill become the occasion or your presciwe to ex- press at length the full meaning and signifi- , Its expression | cance of that great assembly. will be found and heard elsewhere and other- wise from now till that day in November, when this free and intelligent people will record their approval of your great services as chief migis- trate. We beg to congratulate you upon this hearty and unanimous endorsement of your course as President by the historic party to which all the days of your manhood you have belonged, and to congratulate the country upon the assured continuance of your wise, just and patriotic administration. [ take pleasure in presenting the Hon. Charles D. Jacob, of Ken- tucky.” e Mr. Collins’ speech was received with ap- plause. Hon. Mr. Jacob, chairman of the Notification committee, then advanced. His delivery was graceful. He said: ‘“‘To the Hon. Grover Cleveland of New York: Sir: The Delegates to the National Democratic | convention, representing every State and terri- tory of our uaion having assembled in the city June 28th, 1888, of St. Louis, on June Sth instant, for the pur- pose of notitnatiag candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the Us States. it has become the honorable and pleasing daty of this committee to formally announce to you, that, without a ballot. you were by acclama- tion, chosen vs the standard bearer of the Dem- ocratic party for the chief executiveship of this country to be held in November next. Great as is such a distinction under any circumstances, it is the more flattering and profound when it is remembered that yon have been selected as your own successor in office. the duties of which al- Ways onerous, have been rendere! of an extra- ordinary, sensitive, difficult and delicate nature. because of a change of political parties and methods after twenty-fonr years of uninte- rupted domitage. This exaltation is, if possible. added to by the fact that the declaration of principles—based upon your last annudl mes- sage to the Congress of the United States, rela- tive to a tariff reduction and a diminution of ' the expenses of the govepnment—throws down the direct and defiant challenge for an exact- ing scrutiny of the administration of the exec- utive power which four years ago was commit- ted in its trust to the election of Grover Cleve- land, President of the United States, and for the most searching inquiry concerning its fidel- ity and devotion to the pledges which then in- vited the suffrages of the people. An engross- ed copy of that platform adopted without a dis- senting voice, is herewith tendered to you. In conveying, sir, to you, the responsible trust which has been confided to them this committee beg, individually and collectively, to express the great pleasure which they have felt at the results attending the national convention of the Domocratic party, and to offer to you their best wishes for official and personal success and | happiness. We have the honor. sir, to be your obedient servants : Mr. Thomas Pettitt, Secretary of the com- mittee, then handed the President a handsome- !y engrossed copy of the ;Jatform upon which | ive Was nominated. The I’resident bowed his acknowledgments. thrown back with but few gestures, but with au earnestness that was impressive and an en- | uuciation that was deliberate and clear, he re- plied. The audience drank in each word as it slowly flowed from his lips. He said: ~ I cannot but be profoundly impressed when I sce about me the messengers of the National Democracy, bearing its summons to duty. The | political party to which I owe allegiance, both honors and commands me. It places in my hand its proud standard and bids me bear it high at the front in a battle which it wages | bravely, because conscious of right; confident- | ly, because its trust is in the people; and so- | n : | then introduced to the President. berly, because it comprehends the obligations which success reposes. [Applause]. The mes- sage which you bring awakens within me the livelicst sense of personal gratitude and satis- faction, and the honor which you tender me is in itself so great, that there might well be no | reason for any other sentiment. And yet I can- not rid myself of grave and serious thoughts when I remember that party supremacy is not | ' alone involved in the conflict which presses upon us, but that we struggle to secure and | save the cherished institutions, the welfare and shal] Hall. the happiness of a nation of freemen. ‘Familiarity of the great office which I hold | | has but added to my apprehension of its sacred , | character and the consecration demanded of him who assumes its immense responsibilities. It is the repository of the-people’s will and power. tion and welfare of the humblest citizen and Standing erect with head , Within its vision should be the protec- | hman---Extra. with quick car it should catch from the remot est corner of the Jand the plea of the people for justice, for right. For the sake of the people. he who holds this office of theirs should respect every encroachment upon its legitimate func- tions, and for the sake of the integrity and use- fulness of the office, it should be kept near to the people and be administered in full sympa- thy with their wants and needs. This eceasion reminds me most vividly of the scene when 4 ycars ago T reccived a message from my party similar to that which you now deliver. With all that has passed since that day. I can truly say that the feeling of awe with which ] heard the summons then is intensified many fold when it is repeated now. ‘Four years ago, | knew that onr chief ex- ecutive office. if not carefully guarded, might drift, litle by little, away from the people. to whem it belonged, and become a perversion of all itought to be. but I did not know how much of its invoring had already been loosened. ] knew four years ago how well devised were the principles of true Democracy for the successful operation of a government by the people and for the people: lut | did not know how abso- Intely necessary their application then was for the restoration to the people of their safety and prosperity. I kuew then that abuses and ex- travagancies had crept into the management of public affairs: but I did not know their nume- rous forms nor the tenacity of their grasp. 1 Knew then something of the bitterness of par- tisan obstructions: but I did not know how bitter. how reckless and how shameless it could be. IT knew. too. that the American people were patiiotic and just; but I did not know how grandly they loved their country, nor how noble and generous they were. [Applause]. J shall wet dwell upon the acts and the policy of the administration now drawing to its close. | Its recor} is open to every citizen of the land. And yet 1 will not be denied the privilege of asserting at thix time that in the exercise of the functions of the high trust confided to me. Thave yielded ol: lience only to the constitu- tion ani the solemn obligations o: ny oath of office. I have done those things which in the light of the understanding Go! has given me. seemed most conducive to the welfare of my countrymen and the promotion of good govern- ment. I would not, if I could, for myself, nos for you, avoid a single consequence of a fair interpretation of my course. [Applause]. It but remains for me to say to you,ind through you to the Democracy of the nation. that I ac- cept the nomination with which they have hon- ored me, and I will in due time signify such acceptance in the usual formal manner.” The members of the committee consisting of one man from each State in the union, were After a few moments spent in pleasant conversation the committee was invited to Jnnch in the private dining room, where Mrs. Cleveland presided with becoming grace. After lunch, the committee was taken charge of by a Committee of the Columbia Democratic club and driven around to the many attractive points in the city, and at 5 o’clock embarked on the steamer Cocoran for a trip to Mt.

N.C. Hand Book, page 176: “Copper ores have been found in many Tocalitics throvghout the State: in veins of the old gneissoid rocks, as wellas in the more recent slates, and in the triassic formation.” “The principal ore is chalcopyrite or copper pyrites; and there is every reason to believe that many of the wines re- quire only a fuller development to enable them to furnish large quantities of valu- able ores.” . “Many of the gold veins are associated with pyrite ores, and in. fact almost all the North Carolina,Copper mines in the central counties have been first worked for gold, and there are hardly any mines in Guilford, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg. (and we will add Rowan) counties oceur- ring in the gueissvid and syenitie rocks which do not show strong indication of copper ores.” “The general character of these mines is that at about water level the so-called brown gold ores are replaced by quartz richly charged with iron'pyrites, more o1 less mixed with copper pyrites, the latter many places beecommeg the only or the “The ores cither became poor in gold ordinary process then chiefiy in use in North Carolina—Chillian mills and ar rasters—therefore many valuable mines were abandoned, mostly before a larger and paying quantity of copper ores had been reached.” . “Lhe principal mines which promise to change into Copper mines are in Guil- Curolina, the McCulloch, Lindsay, Gard- ner, Hill, Twin, ete. in Cabarrus county the Ludowick, Bager, Hill, Phoenix, Orchard, Vanderberg, Pioneer mills, cte.: in Mecklenburg, the MeGrim, Hopewell, mer, Dunn's Mt., Dateh Creek, Pied- mont (Tfolshouser), Yadkin, Bullion, Hfoward, Atlas, Rowan, ete.: in David- son, the Cid, Conrad Hill, Emmons, ete.. and in fact almost every mine east of the granite range from Guilford county to th South Carolina line. .

It is difficult to ascertuin whether there was ever a fully organized Par- ish in Rowan county before the Rev- olutionary war although it is probable that the adherents of the Established church amannted to at least one fourth or one third of the whole population. Tradition siys that in 1763 or 1769 a chapel was erected in the Jersey set- ‘foment abont nine or ten miles from Shsbury. The Revolutionary war dispersed nearly all the Episcopal congregations in the State. The majority of the clergy being Englishmen by birth and sympathy, and deprived of all means of support, returned to the land of | their nativity. For twenty odd years all was dark and dreary but in 1817 there was a revivial and from that time to the present there has been a steady increuse. METHOD:8M. In 1780, the Yadkin Circuit was for- med having only 21 meinbers. The | charch records give no clue as to the/ boundaries of this circuit bat tradition gays, it embraced Stobes, Davidson, Rowan, and the Surry regions. About this time the pioneers of Methodism began to preach at various parts in Rowan. There being no church edifices, they were obliged to preach in private honses, barns, school honses and ander brush arbors. Beall’s meeting house was probably the first Methodist church built in this section. It is said to have been built in 1780, in what was then Row- an county but now Davie. It is now over 190 years since Meth- odism entered this section with the capital in hand of 21 communicants and one preacher. Out of this has grown a Gospel tree whose branches spread over a large scope of country and the result in Rowan county is 11 churches with a membership of 1309 and presided over by 3 pastors. BAPTIST CHURCHES. When the Rev. Hugh McAden, a Presbyterian minister, visited North Carolina in 1755, he found « Mr. Mill- er, he says, “a Baptist minister, preach- ing and visiting inthe Jersey Church.” By his labors and those of others, a Haptist Church waa established at the Jersey Meeting House, that has rernuined from that day to this, and the Jerscy Church became the parent of nearly all the Baptist church- es of Rowan. The preeent namber of Bantist churches in Rowan 3s four witha membership of about 312. Besides e@ thera is an cnorganized member- ship at one point having no house of worship. In closing these sketches of the Row- an chorcheg, it may be remarked that there are a fewsmall Protestant Meth- odist churches in the county and per- hapsa Northern Methodist church or two, but the writer bas no facts in posession concerning them. There ure no Roman Catholics that we know of in the county outside of Salisbury. Since their emancipation the colored people of Rowan have formed them- selves into churebes in all parts of the county. GERMAN REFORMED. The German Reformed church was established in Rowan county about thre same time as that of the Lutberan. It was formed by immigrants from Germany and Switzerland who came to this country along witb the Luther- ans abont 1750 and their desendants may still be found on or near the old homesteads. According to the cnstom of their early days, the settlers united in build- ing @jointor Union chureh. Owing to some cause a separation took place and the Reformed built Lower Stone or Grace Church whichis the parent of all the German Reformed churches 1a Rowan county. MANUFACTURING FACILITIES. A}) the necessary conditions for suc cesaful and profitable manofactoring azisb in Rowan county. The Yadkin river measured at the 2. Ver six miles from Salisbury cischarg- 63 155,000 cobic feet per minute, whici. gives tvo hundred end ninety-four horse power per foot, and there ure scores of excellent mill sites aloag the river within the borders of onr county. For cotton factories, woolen mills, grist mills and factories of nearly every kind we have ithe cheap power to rnn them, and what is more we have the crode material to keep them running. TAXES. Our taxes outside of Salisbury on real and personal property can not exceed 67] cents, and averages about ty) cents, based on a tow estimate of Valuation und divided as follows: “~unty tax, 22 cts.; State tax, 20 cts.; ‘col tax, 18 cents on the $100; tego, $1.85 of which gocs to #2, and 45 ete, to the poor, —_—_-- — AGRICULTURAL FACILITIES. | Rowan County is so happily situa | abundance, nearly every agricultural | product known to the temperate zones. No county in the State can surpass her in this respect. The principal crops cultivated are corn, wheat, oats, clover, a great variety of grasses, sorgum, to- bacco, cotton, vegetables of all kinds, and fruits in great abundance and va- riety. Our agricultural methods have heretofore been in the main of quite a primitive character and with improved methods, there is no doubt but that the average yield per acre of nearly all crops could be doubled. The trouble with our farmers is trying to cultivate too ted geographically and topographically , county. that her fields yield, in greater or less every ¥ ———_——— WHAT WE NEED. We need population to develop our We want persons skilled in ariety of agricultural, horticul- tural and mannfactering pursuits. We want immigrants who will bring along with them means and energy to enter into business for themselves and help build up our county. Toalt these we say come, and you will find a hear- ty welcome and full and equal protec- tiow extended to you. Wedonot want criminals and paupers from other States and countries and sincefely hope they will stay away. Our people are a law-abiding, peace- able peeple. Religious and political freedom is exercised by them, and those coming among us are expected to ex- ' North Carolina on the continued enjoy- NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRACY. Platform of Party Adopted in State Convention st Raleigh, : May, 1888. We again congratulate the people of ment of peace, good government and general prosperity under Democratic ad- ministration of the affairs of the State which has now been unbroken for so many years; upon, the just and impartial enforcement of thelaw : upou the increas- ing efficiency of eur common school sys- tem, and th? progress made in popular education :upun the improvement and enterprise manitested in all parts of the State. We again challenge a compari- gon between this state of things and the uutrages, crimes and scandals which at- tended Kepublican ascendancy in our borders. We pledge ourselves to exert. in the future asin the past our best ef- forts to promote the best interest of the people of all sections of the State. Af- firming our adherence to Democratic ee eM much Jand. GRASSES, mostly underlaid with red clay, seems to be just what is needed for the pro- duction of clover and grasses and never entirely wears out. Hale, in his in- dustries of North Carolina, says: “More hay beyond any comparison is shipped annually from this point than any oth- er county in the State.” We have seen flelds of clover in Rowan county that it would be almost impossible to beat in any section of the United States. All of the cultiva- ted grasses flourish with the greatest luxuriance and from three to five tons ean be grown with very little trouble, and there are instances where as much as seven tons to the acre has beev grown. We have natural meadows that produce two crops a year of 14! tons to the acre at each nowing. The county with its clear, never- failing springs of cool water, is admi- rably adapted to dairying purposes; but we only know of two of our farmers who have gone into this branch of business and they are both making money. Our farmers have only lately (and only a few of them) turned their) ‘attention to stock raising and find itis paying them well. OTHER CROPS. Rowan county is noted all over the State for the excellent crops of corn and small grains “of which,’ Hale says, “the total is the largest in the State, being more than 875,000 bush- els.” Corn is probably the largest crdp raised in the county, and with proper cultivation onr lands will produce from 30 to 60 bushels to the aere. Wheat is always sown in the fall and harvest begins about the first of June. When the land is properly pre- pared and cultivated from 20 to 40 bushels can be raised to the acre. Oats grow nicely and yield with good cultivation from 50 te 75 bushels to the acre. Fruits of every variety common to temperate climates do well. Peaches, apples, pears, plums and cherries are successfully grown all over the county. Strawberries, dewberries and blackber- ries are indigenous to the county and grow in great profusion. The cultiva- tion of grapes is receiving considerable attention and are very successfully grown. The mulberry is indigenous to our lands and presents a lucrative field to any one who will go into the silk raising business. Hops are often planted as an ornamental vine and from the Juxuriance with which they grow and the heavy crops which they bear we should think that an experi- enced hop grower could do as well! here, if not better, than in any old settled hop growing district. Our farmers have nothing to com- piain of in the cotton and tobacco crop, the yield 1s as good as anywhere and the quality, especially of tobacco, 1s much better than in some counties. Vegetables grow with very little trouble and the season being 60 long several] crops can be grown on the game ground in one season. Our spring season is so early that quite a nunvber have taken advantage of it and are shipping strawberries, asparagns, tomatoes, &., to the northern and western markets. Insh and sweet potutoes are very prodactive, and are unsurpassed as to quality. Melons of al] kinds, pump- kins, squashes and like prodacts yield. largely. Turnips grow to. several pounds weight. The cow pea makes heavy crops of forage and is considered by miny as being better than clover bo build ap exhausted soils. RAILROAD FACILITIES. The North Carolina and Western North Carolina railroads traverse the county in three directions, giving ont- let to the north by the way of Wash- ta and to the west by the way of Knox- ville. Another road is in contempla- tion, which, if built, will give outlet by the way of Bristol, Tenn., and Southport, N.C. The soil of Rowan County being ington, to the south by way of Atlan- ercise a like freedom. There is abso- Inte safety to the property and persons of believers in ull creeds and of all shudes of politics. We have strong confidence in the rapid development of our county and are satisfied that no county in the State offers better inducements to the settler. QUESTIONS ANSWERED. The following questions are general- ly asked by people writing for informa- tion, and we will answer them here. Hotel rates in Salisbury for tran- sient customers are $2.00 a day, by the week about $8. This includes all ac- commodations and attention. Milch cows are worth from $15 to $30. Horses from $75 to $120. What do you pay for farm hands? About $8 per month including board. Interest on money? Eight per cent. What is the value of cultivated lands? From $5 to $25 per acre. Uncultiva- ted? $5to$i5 per acre. Average yield of corn? Between 20 and 25 Average price per bushel? Fifty-five cents. Average yield of From 12 to 15 bushels. One dollar. Average yield of oats? About 15 bushels—the trouble with the oat crop that a} great many of our farmers only put oats on their poorest land, a good farmer considers his oat cr pa failure unless he makes 45 bushels to theacre. ) Average price of oats? ~~ Forty cents. What is cost of plowing? $1.00 per acre. How muck seed do you sow to the acre? Wheat about 1 bushel, oats about 14 bushels. What is your wverage depth of plowing? About fivey ‘inches. Do you subsoil?

That any system of taxation which ne- $270 by the government on each $1,000 of its bonds, taken up with the milHons that would otherwise lie idle in its vaults, and paid to bondholders who purchased in many instances, at less than par, is undemocratic, oppressive and iniquitous and should be reformed. The course of our Democratic Representatives in Con- gress, in their efforts to give relief to the people from burdensome internal revenue und tariff taxation, meets with the ap- proval of the Democratic party of this state and we respectfully recommend that if they find it impossible to give to our people all the relief demanded, they support any just and practical measure presented in Congress that will afford a partial relief from such existing burdqn. Resolved, That while the details of the methods by which the constitutional revenue tariff shall be gradually reached are subjects which the representatives of our people at the national capital inust be trusted to adjust, we think the customs duties should be levied for the production of public revenue, and the discrimination in their adjustment should be such as will place the highest rates on luxuries and the lowest on the necessaries of life, distribute as equally as possible the unavoidable burdens of taxation, and confer the greatest good on the greatest nuinber. Resolved,.That we, as heretofore, fa- vor, and will neyer cease to demand, the unconditional abolition of the whole internal revenue system, asa war tax, not to be justified in times of peace; ar a grievous burden to our people and a source of annoyance in its practical] operations. We call the attention of the people of the State to the hyprocritical pretensions of the Republican party in their platforms that they are in favor of the repeal of this oneyous system of taxation, enacted by their party, while the Republicans in Congress are tax- ing their energies to obstruct all legisla- tion inaugurated by the representatives of the Democratic party to relieve the people of allora part of thisodioussystem. Resolved, That the course of the Dem- ocratie party, in furtherance of popular education, isa sufficient guaranty that we favor the education of the people, and we will promote und improve the present educational advantages so far us it can be done without burdening the people by excessive taxation. Resolved, That to meet an existing eyil, we will accept, for educational pur- poses, from the federal Government a pro rata shure of the surplus ip its treas- ury:; Provided, that it be disbursed 1, | through State agents and the bill for the | vitiee attended to for Moderate Feces. | distribution be free from objectionable features. Resolved, That the United States be- ing one government and ours 4 national une we denounce the etforts of the tepublicans to force sectional isswes Tn Congress and elsewhere, and to promote dissension and ill-will between the peo- ple of the different sections of our com- mon country. Resolved, That it is due to the people of our eastern counties, who have so cheerfully bornetheir shure of our com- mon burdens, that the present or some equally effective system of county govern- ment shall be maintained. Resolved, That the Democratic party is opposed to any further extension of the '‘No-fence”’ law, unless such exten- sion shall have first been authorized by a majority of the qualified voters within the territory to be affected thereby. Resolved, that the Democratic party has ever been the party of the working- man, and has never fostered monopolies, nor havo ‘'trusts” or ‘‘combinatioss’” or “pools” ever grown up under laws enact- en by it. The contest in this country being between aggregated capital, seek- ing to crush out all competition, and the individual laborer, the Democratic party is, as it has ever been, against the mo- nopolist and in favor of ajust distribu- tion of capital, and demands the en- actment of laws that will bear equally upon all. Resolved, That as all taxation bears most heavily upon the laborer, it is the duty cf the legislator, as a direet benefit to the workingman, to keep theexpense of our public institations at the lowest, limit consistent with wise and efficient management. The Democratic party opposes any competition between free and convict Jabor, but it insists that eon- victs shal] not remain idle at the expense of honest Jabor.
