Well, I have bought the dress something to wear I've forgotten the new; name, but we used to call it bombazine, and she likes it. It is as fine and soft as a camel's hair and never goes out of fashion. It becomes the stately natron or the stylish maid, or the rich wid.w or the mourner at a fu neral. It is at the milliner's right now, and is to be made up in style a la mode, accord ing to Hoyle, with epaulettes on the shoulders and none on the fi&ck, aud be trimmed with lace curtains and lambrequins and decollette et ceteras. I like that. Our grandmothers wore them that way and I'm glad the fashion has come back the small sole leather trunks about half as large as the one I bought to-day. Women had something to wear then and the little trunk held It, but now they have nothing to wear and the big trunk won't hold it. The maternal journey is a big thing.

As the spring advances smal lumps or tumors will be found on the backs of the cattle, and in 6uch a large white grub will be found. These grubs are of teu . called wolves and .other local Lames, but they are really the larvse of a large bot-fly or gad-fly which lays eggs in the skin, which it punctures or stings with its ovipositor. These flies torment the cattle in July or August, besides, the hides are seriously damaged. A day may be well spent in destroying these grubs which, are now nearly ready to emerge--from the holes in the skin through which they breathe. jtJy care -fully squeezing the, tumor they may be forced but and killed; or a few drops of oil squeezed in from a squirt will kill them. If this could be generally done the pests would soon be got rid of. American Agriculturist.. "Hog cholera,'? said Mr. James Barrett, Richmond county, as he sat conversing with a party of friends in the Depart ment of -Agriculture at the State Capitol, aj few days ago, "is as easily managed as worms in children, and heed be no more dangerous. Why, I never lost a hog from cholera in my me." Iu answer to the entire party, "My remedy, or tive, is simple, used all the year raisers who wouid have heavy healthy porkerg. If is to keep my hoge well Bupplied with salt, mixed with hard wood a9hes. However, corn cob ashes are better, and they are always come atable on the plantation of the successful hog raiser. What-we call cholera in hogs is nothing- in the world but worms. Keep your hogs free from worms, and yon! will have no cholera. As I said before, salt and ashes will dothis. The intestines of hogs become In intested with worms at certain seasons of the year, which pro duce a inorbid appetite. The hog endeavors to gratify it, and the mors he eats the more r.u meraus and -ravenous the worms grow until the passages become clogged, pradncing nausea and loss! of appetite. For want of .nourishment' the worru3 die, congestion ensues, just aud your hogs die with cholera, JULIAN Sk CARR, OF DURHAM the nplook of he continued, rather preven and should be round by stock und boxes, oi; :in 1 heavv hid THIV; ban t ! . ;ll. 1 !;.-; Ur w q;ib largo enough to m,-,' in and then I had to -id, rich loam and some 'i -r irom the barn yard iix it up and fill up the ;i ai ii aiid lhn bring wa rd the'dr plant out the ugaaua tyen split up 30me Uke and tij up the., roses to tii,i sU.kes, aud i don'J; know whether thati'is all or not.

The children look solemn andT-sad & their mother gives her last warning and entreaties but I see them winking and blinking and hear them plan ning out what a big time they are going to have. They think that I will surrender to any thing, and take a hand-in the insurrection, but I won't. I will keep them in the bounds of propriety. I'm going .to be an austere man it i can. .When will this thing stop' When will the maternal ances tor have rest" from her labors and be free fiom an anxiety about her offspring? ; Never, no. never : wnne sne lives, nor after she dies, I reckon. It is hard,, very hard, on these moth ers who have so many children scattered children liable to sickness and distress.. The children go off to marry and settle down and take on new loves that smothers the love of childhood, but there is no change in the mother. Her's never grows cold or lukewarm. She would follow her child to the end of the world if she could, and if she can't her heart reaches there. .Blessed ia that mother whoseichildren's love continues with her age, whose affection grows stronger and purer as the years roll on.

The number and location of the sub-treasuries; is incidently a matter of Interest to those favoring the plan proposed in the bilfs introduced by Reprs sentative Pickler and Senator Vance. ".It- is' contemplated that counties' which sell an- iiually more than 50,000 in value of products named in the bill wrill avail themselves of its provision. This may not al ways De trie case, nut win, no doubt, be the rule, The census of . 1880 furnishes the data available for an estimate on this question. The decline in prices since that year fully meets the increase in produc tion, except in the newer States Though in many senses incom plete, no better data are at hand.

Carr. . He has apparently solved the problem cf ns ing his own in such a way as to do the most good to the great est number of his fellow men. Judged bv hla actions, he be lieves that . he is indeed and in truth a steward, entrusted by God, with much moaey which ho is enjoined to use for the glory of God and the good of his fellow man. There is no man in North Carolina for whom we feel a more genuine respect than we do for this North Carolinian, who Jis set an example that other men of wealth may welj follow. Most men find it an easy matter to talk of doing good, but few there are who believe in "letting their light shine" to the extent of spending their means in doing good. , - we taKe pleasure in presenting a pictuee oi this man. to our readers to-day.' We believe his life and services in North Carolina is an inspiration and that he exerts an Influence for good the extent of which eternity alone will reveal. 1 he following sketch of his life we take from the Raleigh Christian Advocate: Mr. Carr was born at Chapel Hill, N. C, October 12th, 1845. and is therefore a little over 44 years of age. tie was educated at the University of North Carolina and has always shown much interest in his Alma Mater. When the war broke out between the States he went into the Confederate army and made as good a soldier as ever carried a musket, and to-day the veterans of that war have one of the warmest places in his great heart. Soon after the close of the war he began the business,- which he cas built up . to such an immeuse pro portion. From a. very small, beginning his own brain has planned and managed and built up a business which, rumor says, he has sold for three- and half millions of dollars. Literally he has -been the architect of his own fortune. : Beginning fif teen or twenty years ago as a young man with no means, he has to-day, perhaps, more wealth than any other man in North Carolina. He is the President of the Blackwell Durham Tobacco Com pany which is Known all over the world; .President of the Durham & Koxbord R. R. Co.; President of the Durham Electric Light Co.; President of the First National Bank of Durham; resident of the Board of Managers' .of Greensboro Female College ; ' Vice-President of the Durham Cotton Manufacturing Co.; Vice-President of the Greensboro Blast Furnace Co.; a Trustee of the University of North Carolina; a Trustee of Trini ty College; a director of the Oxford Orphan Asylum; a member of the Board of Trustees of one of the Colored Normal Schools of the State; has been VicePresident of the National Tobacco Association; was a member of the Advisory Committee of the American Exposition in London; was a delegate to the Robert Raikes Sunday School Covention iu London in 1878; a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference of the Methodists of the world in London in 1881; a delegate to the Methodists Centennial in Baltimore in 1887; has been several times a delegate to the Southern Methodist General Conference aDd is one this year; He was thought by many to be the best man to be nominated for Lieut. Gov. of the State of North Carolina a few years ago.and has been and is now prominently and most favorably mentioned as most suitable mantfor Gveruor. Honors have been heaped upon him, and he has been emineutly worthy of them all. NEWS OF A WEEK. ' - irH AT IS UAFFXHIifG IS IHE WORLD AROtr.M) WS.

Ham Jones, now of Charlotte, had remonetrated with the man but to no purpose. The regi ment soon after engaged in one of the prominent Virginia bat tles, and a rear guard had been set to ; watch for deserters. When the storm of lead be- gan to wax. warmer and warm er the coward could stand it no longer. He vacated. but not so hurriedly and precitately as was hiswoit. iHe had been in the habit of throwing down his gun and 'making tracks," but that rear guard rendered a little strategy neccessary. He marched up to the guard .with his gun .on his shoulder and striding up to the guard he announced in a convincing note of voice that he had been sent to capture and bring so-and-so who had deserted. In this manner he escaped. Col. Jones saw that things, had gone lax enough Desertion was punisha i ble with death. The Colonel i . . . ..... ' Knowing the man' railing, or- 1-dered that he be tied up by ' the thumbs, which Capt. Beard '.says is a few degrees milder than death; His hands were tied together over his head or behind his back, and the thumbs tied with a ptrng to the limbs of a tree near the camp. "I don't call this pun ishment," said Capt. Beard, call it torture.'' The victim ere long to ease himself of the tight cord, squatted upon stump near by. Col. Jones ere long saw him taking a rest, and told Paxse now . a Salisbury "cop," to pick him with a stone "I don't think," said Capt. Beajd, "that the Colonel had any idea that Pace would understand that he really meant it, but Pace picked up the rock and he 'fetched him.' The captain told this in con nection of Pace literal obeying of orders. Colonel Goodwin at one time Colonel of the regi ment, ordered a soldier to be shot, who had spoken insult ingly to a lady. I do net re member whether the soldier was Confederate or a captured enemy. The soldier ordered to do the firing refused, and some one pointed to Pace, and said he would obey orders. But the Colonel's anger had abated and knowing that Pace would not hesitate a moment, did not give the command.
