But our folks are. not f oolsj aud it takes two to make a bargain. Subsidy is the watchword now and our own people have caught . it pretty- well. When anybody wants to build a railroad they map out -the line, and keep it a secret, and ldiei make their eugiueerk. survey various lines to the fight and to the left of every tawn on the line, and so get the poor little towns scared half to death, and they go to bidding-" against each other for the railroad, and by the time the compauy show, their hand and where tfiey are going they have got nearly enough money to build the railroad. I have known them to " ask half of a man's farm to' put a little one horse. djpol o:i his land. They will charge a little city fifty thousand dollars not to go around it. .Not long ago a com pany ran a pretended line away off from a little town, and the people had to strain themselves to make up a burse to hire them to come nearer, and had to give tnem a nunarea acres ior a depot, and after everything was arranged the everlasting rascals laid off the hundred acres into town lots and adver tised for ' a big sale for a new town that was to dry up the old one, and the citizens had to go over and buy the lots at abou t a . thousand dollars an acre to scotch the game and save their town, and theyi-have got the lots now, and nobody ever proposes to, build on them and the, railroad company put all the money in their pockets and smiled a smile u its palace car. That's tlie way they do it. They want the earth and the fullness thereof, and it looks like there isn't but one way for common folks to get anything out ot rich ones ex cept to catcn tne cnolera or yellow lever, or have an earth piake or it reservoir to burst .In the good old honest davs of our fatbers. when they wanted .i .i ,.!....! j x ft -V - a . . io ijuiiii a raiiroau, ine goou peo pie ail -along the line took stork and paid it or worked it out and they built the . road and everybody knew nil about it.

Upon hearing this the' Balti more Herald says : "Certainly. Hell is not a summer resort. It is never closed for repairs." Now all of thi3 may be true, no doubt it is true, but we think his flippant way of handling the sacred or the awful is to be regretted. It adds nothing to the respect for the one, or the dread of the other. Gentlemeo, if you must be flippant, or even witty, do take some other sub ject more In keeping with your jesting, spirit. The man who can play about the mouth of hell must have a hard heart and a seared conscience, or he would chr ? another place for- his fun. Haleigh Christian Sun. FOR THE FARM.

He is fond of cheese and had manifested his weak ness at the depot on a certain occasion not long ago, when a box car was being unloaded. Having been taken in the act, the burden of proof was on "Beef lip" to show t,hat he had no felonious intent, but being a negro and having only eight lawyers he was notjable to do it. The State proved beyond a reasonable dcubt that "Beef ip" had been irregular in his dealing with regard to the cheese, and so the places which have heretofore known him will know him no more for a year. Statesville Landmark. The Advaxde agrees heartily with the Progressive Farmer in this suggestion as it does in many things it says. The peo ple of rorth Caroliha do too little to make the young of the present age know the feeling of patriotism that nerved their fathers to brave the dangers of war. Fayetteville is to have a can ning factory. The movement has been endorsed by the Cumberland Farmers' Alliance. It is very necessary that the fruit growers aud canners should co-operate and we are pleased that they have taken that Tiew of the case in Cumberland. A Very Important Decision- The Supreme Court of North Carolina rendered a decision not long ago, the practical re suit of which is of great impor tance to every business man in the State. The decision was that a husband can mortgage hi3 real estate 'without his wife's signature to the paper. unless that identical piece of property has previously ;been set aside as his homestead by appraisers.

TRADES, ASSOCIATION'S, ORGANIZA TIONS. ine "state nael is a new agricultural paper in Jackson Tenn. In its first number it says : "Merchants have their 'board of trade,' the speculators their 'trades-union,' lawyers and physicians their associations, tho mechanic and the manufac turer their organizations under different names f6r the purpose of establishing uniform prices of their merchandise and fixing the prices of their professional service. The man who tills the ioil is at the mercy of these combinations, because his power is paralyzed for want of organization and want of action. He has no power to -fix the prices of his products to sell in the market nor the articles he The Drices! of the one are fixed before the "Icrop matures, and the other is established by tradesmen and speculators."

And there's the devil's race boss which plies around about this time, and as Uncle Isam says, chaws terbacker like a gentleman, and if he'd spit in your eyes you'd go blind In a half a second. And one day he showed me the devil's darning needle, which winds up the old feller's stockings, and the dev il's snuff-box, which explodes when you mash it, and one ounce of the snuff inside will kill a sound mule before he can lay down. Then there's eome flowjrs that he wears in his button-hole, called the devil's shoestring and the devil in the bush. I like farmin.'

Ill i.i. Ari Madras, I mini. As the eastern coast of lliinlu- staa is without any barhors of safe approach, the navigation on the borders of the Bay of Honga! be comes somewhat perilous. Th shallow water, the long beaches, the sweeping winds and the heavy surf com yA ships to anchor a long distance from the shore, trust iog in tho native bouts to reach land, and in time of storm to put out to sea. The lands are low ami sunlv. in umiiy places lying but a few feet above the level of the tide Num. erous villages, towns aud tatien stand as seutinels along the t'or 1 manilel roast, as the shores are called, which were made the cand battle held of th" last century be tween the Bugbsh and the Freuch in India. The Juniata sailed up from Cey lon, tni made her First Moo at Nagapatam, a port of no commer cial importance near the lower ex tremity ff the peninsula. The ship lay at anchor h mile or more from the coast, in the open sea, and at the outset seemed to be regarded curiously by the inhabitant. As this was the first man-ofwar that had ever visited the place, U creat ed a wide spread alarm among the uatives. Laiee crowds of iwople gathered oo the beach, and watch ed the ship all day long, which was to them an Uiiu-ual sight, aud bod ed nothing but evil id its visit tioti. The terror cpread like wild lire from village to village, and was in no wise allayed by the tiring ot a salute from our guns. So deep seated were their tears that, when a party of Eurojean residents pro posed to visit the ship, their ser vants and other natives clung to j them with wailing and entreaties and bade them good-'w, believing that they would nev , ..(uru alive. After a time some ,i ii.c more dar- iug ventured out iu their hshiug boats, od when it was found that we were harmless frcoueat visits were made to the ship with quantl, ties of fruit and vegetables. The town has a popui,ti;o:i of tilty thousand, and is a place of no es pecial interest, Isolated as it is from the world, although frouting the sea that is traversed by the ships of all nations. A sail of a few leagues toward the north brought our ship to the rrencii ity ot l'ondicherry. the once famous (iallic outpost in the hast. Although the long iron pier. that reaches out into the sea, makes the lauding for tho boats more easy, the swell of the ocean keeps the vessel rolling and rooking in an uncomfortable manner. On tbedav of our arrival the European portiou of the community, most of whom lire French, sent out to us an end less stream of visitors. The vounrr ladies would trip as gaily as mav be over the gangway, laughing ana talkiug about the sights on board a man of war. They relmhed the situation for a fiw moments only, for the heaving of the ship produced unpleasant sensations, and they invariably left us in some haste to recover from the e fleets ol sea-sickness. Although a French province, neither a garrison nor a war vessel Is allowed by treaty stipulation to be kept in this port. The town utaads on a sandv plain, guarded by a citadel, and is divided iuto a Kurojean and a na tive settlement. Its streets are narrow but clean, and it contains a handsome square, aad many very fine buildiugs, cathedrals and hazaars. No grass or shubberv is to be seen anywhere, but in many quarters large trees line tho thor oughlares a id form pleasant groves. In the surrounding coun try rice and pea-nuts are grown ex teosiveiy, anil cocoa-nuts form the present a very picturesque appear-1 ance in their novel costumes, in many instances glittering with precious stones.
