is not so far alter all. Distaiice is
now counted by hours, and not by
miles. A in in can leave Atlanta at 8
o'clock in the morning and reach
Kansas City by 6 o'clock in the after

Daniel Webster opp laed .1 on the
ground that the territorial delegate
cou;d not get to Washington City
before his term of office expired. I
remember wberi it took my father
two months to make the journey from
Boston to Georgia. He never cross
ed a railroad, for there was none to
cross. I remember when Texas was
considered the jumping-off place
the end of the earth and going there
was environed with as many perils as
was Stanley's exploration of Africa.
Since I left home I have traveled in
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Ken-
D TMtucky, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and
rvctiuxta, aiiu il luun jiuy iinuv mu
hours to do it. I found the great
state all afloat from St. Louis to its
western border. It has been raining
for two weeks with not a day's inter
mission and the farmers were alarm
ed r their grain crop. Such a crop
I never saw in my hie. Such an un
broken stretch of heavy wheat as was
ever in sight of the 300 miles of rail
way. It seemed to me enough to
bread the whole world for a year, and
the Kansas crop has been put down
at 50,000,000 bushels more. Verily
the poor will have cheap bread if no
disaster comes. But even now be
fore the grain is turning there are
cowlicks in almost every field and
where the grain is heaviest the fall-
down is the worst. To-day the sun
shines and the heat comes down in
the good old-fashioned way, and
everybody is happy. It is all right
now., they say, and the crop is sate.

this country for a time, but what it
will accomplish remains to be seen.
I visited the great packing houses
here and was amazed at the magni
tude and perfection of this butcher
ing business. I wished to see it one
time and that is enough. It is like
our desire to see a hanging one
sight is enough, and will last a life
time. Wh.it a lile it is lor a man to
take life every minute of the day;
There he stands with his great mus
cular arm and his toag double-edged
knife, and every minute strikes the
heart of a hog as it is swung alonv;
before him. The ho s are suspend
ed by one leg and moved along by
roller machinery, and they are ever
coming with life and going away,
struggling and bleeding with death.
The juicy canvassed hams that adorns
our dinner table has passed this hor
rible ordeal, and I fear that I will not
be able to forget it. I met a fine old
gentleman who is a vegetarian and
would abolish the whole business if
he could. He believes it is a sin to
kill any one of God's living creatures
for food. Well, I admire his human
ity and I have observed that when
a man grows old he is inclined that
way. When teeth and appetite de
cay vegetable food is the best for a
man. Milk is good for a baby and
so when our second childhod comes
over us we neither need nor care for
animal food. This butchering will go
on, 1 leckon, and a man said to me
that if we didn't kill up the cattle and
the hogs they would multiply into
millions and billions and take the
country and eat up all the vegetables
and the vegetarians, too.
I have not yet found Liberty, but
will to-morrow. I came through In
dependence, and it is in Jackson
county. I met a friend who said he
was born in Independence, and mar
ried in Liberty and his children turn
ed out to be rebels of the strongest
type. These people came orignaly
from Virginia and Maryland, and
some from North Carolina. They
are of the old cavalier stock and rais
ed a powerful rumpus during the late
rebellion. But since then immigra
tion has brought in a new set and
have harmonized and are getting
along like brothers. So mote it be.

There is but little forest, but the trees
are the same the old familiar oaks
on the high lands, and poplars, wal
nuts, ash and elm trees in the low
grounds. The distant farmhouses
were surrounded with fruit trees in
terspersed with the tall and graceful
lombardy poplars that pointed heav
enward like the spires ol the city
churches. (Jur route was lor 100
miles along the banks of the great
Missouri ' upon whose bosom hun
dreds of steamboats used to bear
burdens, but not now. The reign of
the steamboat has passed I saw but

small ugly crafts and were loaded
with wood, this last age whl not
wait on paddle wheels. The Kan
sas beef must get to New York with
dispatch, and the Georgia watermel
ons must be hurried away to Kansas
City. A lady remarked to me that
she supplied her table every day with
the luxuries of every State, and they
were about as good as where they
were grown. I see in the market the
most perfect and beautiful peaches,
and they seemed to me as fresh and
luscious as if just pull from the trees
in Texas, where they came from.
But the transportation problem is
not yet solved. Corn is 50 cents a
bushel here and $1.10 in Atlanta. It
looks like the difference is too great,
considering how cheap the railroads
can carry freight on long hauls.
Kansas City is a brand new town
and most beautifully laid out. The
streets are paved like Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington. Their street
car lines are all cable lines, with per
haps one exception, and the metallic
ring of the wire ropes underneath the
ground makes pleasant music, and
sounds like the humming of bees in
the corh tassels. These lines connect
bv transfer, and you can ride ten
miles upon them for a nickel. The
surburban residences are beautiful.

A representative of the Standard
had the pleasure of spending a few
hours in the neighborhood of Pioneer
Mills some days ago, and from one
of the intelligent elderly residents of
the place we heard some most inter
esting items connected with the early
history of this settlement.
The name, it seems, originated in
the fact that there was located the
pioneer steam engine of Western
North Carolina, if not of the State
The engine was used for mining gold,
and was brought from the North and
put up in November, 1829. People
came from distances of thirty and
forty miles to see the wonderful ma
chine. Among these who came was
a young man, Daniel Reap, who is
now one of the oldest and most sub
stantial citizens of Big Lick, Stanly
county. He came, not so much to
see the engine, as to buy wagon irons
and paint at the store there. These
articles could not be found at Albe
marle, his nearest town, but were furn
ished by Fulger & Gillson, the pro
prietors of the store. This was in
January, 1830, and the mine was
being worked then, but we did not
learn whether the merchants opera
ted it or not. At that time this was
supposed to be the only steam en
gine in North Carolina. Can some
one posted on the early milling his
tory of our State give us any infor
mation on the subject ? Concord

London, June 13th. The Prince
of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge
came to town this morning on, it is
said, important business.
It is generally understood that the
Prince's flying trip is connected with
the baccarat scandal. He was at
first disposed to treat the baccarat
matter lightly, but he has now awak
ened as to the seriousness of his po
sition. The London correspondent
of the Leed's Mercury says he has
grtod reason to statje that the Hon.
Edward Stanhope, secretary of state
for war, will apologize Monday next
in the house of commons on behalf of
the Prince of Wales for the share the
latter took in condemning the con
duct of Sir William Gordon-Cum-ming
at Tranby Croft in September
last.
Sir William Gordon-Cumming and
his bride received what is generally
known as a "royal welcome" upon
their arrival at Forres, Scotland, near
which the baronet's estate is situa
ted. The bride and bridegroom were
welcomed by the provost of Forres
at the head of the municipal authori
ties and neighbors. The town was
decorated with flags, flowers and
bunting and on their way to Altyre,
Sir William and Lady Gordon-Cum-
ming passed beneath several hand
some floral arches. The newly mar
ried couple were enthusiastically
cheered by the inhabitants of Forresi
and its neighborhood who had gath
ered from many miles around in
order to show their sympathy with
the owners of Altyre. The provost
of Forres, upon the arrival of Sir
William and Lady Gordon-Cumming,
made them a public address of wel
come and presentented to them the
congratulations of the inhabitants of
the town. Nothing was wanting to
show the bridal couple that though
some people might frown upon them,
the burghers of Forres had resolved
to testify their sympathy with the
aird of Altyre.
The storm rising around the Prince
of Wales is fast obtaining intensity,
endangering his chances of succes
sion to, the throne, if not the existence
of the English monarchy. No class
appears to be stirred so deeply as the
great middle classes.the real strength
of the country and hitherto the solid
and stolid prop of the monarchy.
Wherever its voice becomes audible,
its earnest denunciations of the Prince
of Wales are accompanied by regret
at its nearness to the throne.
The Official Gazette announces,
under date of June 10, that the name
of Sir William Gordon-Cumming had
been removed from the list of officers
in the army, as her majesty has no
further occasion lor his services.
Dublin, June 13. The Express
(liberal conservative) of this city to
day says that the outbreak of public
feeling which followed the baccarat
scandal revelation was ominous tor
monarchy. "England," the Express
adds, "will not forget the character
and habits of the Prince of Wales as
revealed at the trial. The result is
that the institution of monarchy as
connected in the minds of the people
with bad associations, is obviously in
danger. The dismissal of Sir Wil
liam Gordon-Cumming from the
army will be regarded as a severe
rebuke to the popular sympathies."
London, June 16. The popular
crusade against the Prince of Wales
shows no signs of abating in strength
or bitterness. After a lecture deliver
ed last night at Carnuvan, Wales,
by Henry M. Stanley, the band play
ed "God bless the Prince of Wales."
The Welchmen no sooner heard
the hrst strains 01 the laminar air,
however, than they raised a storm of
hisses which almost drowned the
noise of the band.
At seven religious meetings held
in various parts of the country yes
terday the rnnce 01 Wales was
roundly denounced for the share he
took in the baccarat scandal.
At a Methodist Conference, now
being held at Leeds, the visit to
Tranby Croft was classed as a "gam
bler's orgie."
In a letter published to-day in the
Pall Mall Gazette the writer asks why
the captain who is wanted by the 'po
lice in connection with the Cleveland
street scandal and who is now resid
ing in Tunis should have been allow
ed to resign when Sir William Gordon-Cumming
was dismissed from
the army for his share in the Tranby
Croft scandal.
As evidence of the attitude of the
Dress and public on the question of
1
royal prerogatives, a letter which is
published in to-day's Standard, a
sturdy conservatiye organ, may be
cited. The writer of this letter calls
attention to the fact that during the
course ol the picnic at Virginia
Water Saturday last, some members
of the family of Prince of Wales,
violated the law relative to the "close
season" of fishing by fishing in those
waters. The writer calls upon the
local authorities to prosecute the law
breakers under the statute and not
to exempt from punishment those
members of the royal family who
may be shown to have violated the
law. The fact that this letter is pub
lished by the Standard goes far to
show the feeling that has been arous
ed by the actions of the Pnnce of
Wales.
Hon. Edward Stanhope, secretary
of state for war, replying to-day in
the house of commons to a question
put by William Sumner Gladstone
liberal, in regard to the baccarat
scandal, said that Sir William Gordon-Cumming
was the chief person
who had broken 'faith, because he
did not report the case to his com
manding officer. Of the three officers
concerned, Gen. Owen William was
a retired officer of the army and was
therefore not subject to regulations,
but the other two Field Marshall
the Prince of Wales and Lieut. Berk
ley Levett undoubtedly were. The
former, said St.uilioi? on lookine
back at ; ill the circumstances of the
case, had authorized him (Stanhope)
to say that he now saw that an error
of judgment had been committed.
Lieut. Berkley Levett, on the other
hand, countmued Stanhope, had
written a letter to his commanding
officer, expressing deep regret that
he not acted in accordance with the
army regulations.
The house, hushed and mtensely
expectant, listened eagerly to Stan
hope's statement, which had evident
ly been carefully prepared. The an
nouncement that Gen. Williams was
already on the retired list surprised
the group of radicals eager to attack
him, and the Prince of Wales' vol
untary admission of an error of judg
ment on his part astonished and grat
ified the whole house and was receiv
ed with slight cheering from the op
position benches and repeated con
gratulatory shouts of "hear, hear"
from the conservatives.
The utter absence of an official
statement of defense rendered the
reply acceptable to every side and
has taken the pitch out of the radical
intention to continue their agitation.

OF INTKKKST TO "VKITKKS.
What a Horse AVoultl Say If he Could.
Don't hitch me to an iron post or
railing when the mercury is below
freezing. I rjeed the skin on my
tongue.
Don't leave me hitched in my stall
at night with a big cob right where I
must lie down. I am tired and can'l
select a smooth place.
Don't compel me to eat more salt
titan I want by mixing it with my
oats, I know better than any other
animal how much I need.
Don't think because I go free un
der the whip I don't get tired. You
would move up under the whip.
Don t think because I am a horse
that iron weeds and briars won't
hurt my hay.
Dcnft whip me when I get fright
ened along the road, or I will expect
it next time, and maybe make trou
ble.
Don't trot me up hill, for I have to
carry you and the buggy and myself,
too. Try it yourself sometime. Run
up hill with a big load.
Don't keep my stable very dark,
for when I go out into the light my
eyes ore injured, especially if snow
be on the ground.
Don't say whoa unless you mean
it. Teach me to stop at that word.
It may check me if the lines break
and save a runaway and a smashup.
Don't make me drink ice cold wa
ter nor put a frosty bit in my mouth.
Warm the bit by holding it half a
minute against my body.
Don't forget to file my teeth when
they get jagged and I cannot chew
my food. When I get lean it is a
sign my teeth want filing.
Don't ask me to "back" with
blinds on. I am afraid to.
Don't run me down a steep hill,
for if anything should give way I
might break your neck.
Don't put on my blind-bridle so
that it irritates my eye, or so leave
my forelock that it will be in my
eyes.
Don't be so careless of my har
ness as to find a great sore on me
before you attend to it.
Don't lend me to some blockhead
that has less sense than I have.
Don't forget the old book that is a
friend to all the oppressed, that says :
"A merciful man is merciful to his
beast."

The Largest Man on Ke eorri.
Of the many valuable improve
ments which have been made in self:
feeding pens a great part' are due to
the skill and persistence of Mr. L. E.
Dunlap, of Boston, who, as a pioneer
in this business, has spent the last
decade in perfecting the fountain pen
that bears his name. The latest per
fected invention is the Dunlap Double-feed
Pen, and in this very double
feed lies the secret of its success.
It carries a sixteen-karat diamond-
pointed gold pen, and is a perfect
pocket-companion that will not only
prove indispensable, but a joy and a
blessing as long as life lasts. It is
guaranteed to write instantly, always
and under all circumstances. To in
troduce it among the readers of this
paper, the manufacturers offer for a
short time only, to send it by return
mail at onechalf the regular price.
By posting a letter, enclosing a
two-cent stamp, to the Dunlap Pen
Company, 180 Washington street,
Boston, Mass., you will receive a
beautiful engraved ticket worth $2,
and also an illustrated price-list and
circular, telling you how to make $5
per day.

One of Mr. Darden's great neph
ews kindly furnished me to-day with
a notice of Mr. Darden, cut from the
Wilmington Journal after his death
and pasted in an old memorandum
book, a copy of which I send you.
The article is headed "The Heaviest
Man on Historic Kecord, and is as
follows :
"Miles Darden, probably the lar:
gest man on record, born in North
Carolina, died in Henderson county,
Tennessee, January 23, 1857. He
was seven feet nine inches hieh, and
in 184 s weighed 871 pounds. At
his death, his weight was a little over
1 .000 douikIs. Until 184 he was
-71 "
active lively and was able to labor,
but from that time was obliged to
stay at home or be hauled about in a
two horse wagon. In 1839 his coat
was buttoned around three men each
of them weighing more than 200
pounds, who walked together in it
across the square at Lexington. In
i8t;o it rcduired thirteen and a half
yards of cloth one yard wide to make
him a coat. His comn was eight
feet long, thirty-hve inches deep,
thirty-two inches across the breast,
eighteen inches across the head, and
fourteen inches across the teet, and
twenty-five yards of black velvet was
required to cover the sides and lid.
He was twice married and his chil
dren are very large, though probably
none of them will ever reach half the
weitdit of their father." Richmond

Woman and Her Oress.
It is often said that you can judge
a woman fairly by her dress. That
this is only pardy true many a woman
whose purse is scantily supplied can
testity. The woman who has to con
sider the pennies how they go, must
eke out tfie number of her gowns by
buying "bargains" not always desira
ble in color or texture. And even
if she can afford to pass by these
cheap articles she may occasionally
make a mistake and choose an unbe
coming garment ; and while the wo
man ot ample means can give away
these unlucky purchase!, her less
fortunate sister must, with much vex
ation of spirit, wear out her "mis
takes." And unless one has the
purse of Fortunatus, it is almost im
possible to obtain styles not in vogue
For instance, this season's styles in
millinery are most becoming to the
piquant, saucy featured damsels ; but
the Madonna-faced maidens who
were bewitching in the Gypsy hon
net or directoire hat, look ridiculous
in the prevailing lettuce leaf hat or
clam shell bonnet, and there is noth
ing else to be had unless it is made to
order. The woman of moderate
means must often wear not what she
would like, but what she can afford,
and only her wealthy sister who
wears always what pleases her best,
may .be judged by her dress. Becky
