fy (fjlhaftam Record THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1881 H. A. LONDON. Jr., Editor. Tee President is still alive, and that is all. His death may occur any day; and at the farthest he cannot survive another week. He is a mere shadow of his former self almost a skeleton and of course is greatly en feebled. At times he is delirious, and his sleep is much disturbed. He has battled with death long and manfully, but is about to succumb. One thing about his illness has struck us with much surprise, and it is that no minister of the gospel has been near him. Although he has been almost at the point of death for eight weeks, yet we have not heard of any Clergy man offering up prayers at his bed side and uttering words of spiritual comfort. And he a professing Chris tian ! The Russian Nihilist, Leo Hart man, has declared his intention to take out naturalization papers in New Yoik and become an American citizen, hoping thereby to avoid being delivered up to the Russian govern ment. "While .our country is proud of being an asylum and refuge for the oppressed of all nations, yet we protest against its becoming a refuge for murderers and other criminals. We are proud of being called " the land of the free and the home of the brave," but the American people would be shocked and asham ed to think that their country should ever become an asylum for such villains as Hartman. This man was the leader of the band that blew up a railroad train in Russia, killing and wounding many innocent persons, in an unsuc cessful attempt to assassinate the Czar of Russia. He escaped from Russia, wandered about in other Eu ropean countries, and finally came to the United States. He recently pub lished in the New York Herald a long letter, giving a full and detailed nar rative of his blowing up the railroad train, and the plot to assassinate the Czar. He classes his crime among political offences, but the American sense of justice can see no politics in murdering a car-load of innocent pas sengers. He and Guiteau ought to be hung together. The Re-Union of Confederate sol diers at our next State Fair promises to be largely attended. The project seems to meet with much favor, and old soldiers from different portions of the State are expressing their in tention to attend. The idea was con ceived by Col. Polk, the secretary of the State Agricultural Society, and he has sent circulars throughout the State urging our people to make it a success. Of course it is gotten up to attract visitors to the Fair and thus swell the receipts of the Socie ty, but we think it will also be a pleasant occasion the meeting to gether of old army comrades and "fighting o'er their battles " again. CoL Polk promises to have a room prepared as headquarters for the veterans, where a book will be kept in which each may register his name, and be enabled to find out who of his old comrades is present We hope to meet there many whom we have not seen since we parted at Appomat tox. An artful villain, who for the past ten years has repeatedly been guilty of the crimes of forgery and bigamy, has at last been detected, arrested, and, we hope, will be punished as severely as the law allows. His crimes have been committed so open ly and so frequently that it is re markable he has so long escaped pun ishment. The history of his crimes and career is quite romantic, and il lustrates how persons are deceived by appearances. This noted crimi nal's real name is Merritt, though he has been known by many different names, his last alias being T. A. Mar vin. He is described as a man of about sixty years of age, of prepos sessing appearance, of refined and elegant manners, of insinuating ad dress and conversational powers, and would easily pass for a wealthy bank er. For the past ten years he has lived on his wits, and been engaged in a systematic business df forgery and bigamy. Numerous banks and individuals have been made the vic tims of his successful forgeries, and he has committed bigamy eleven times. Homes have been blasted, innocent ladies disgraced, and banks victimized in almost every section of the country by this unique adven turer. His latest adventure, and for which he is arrested, occurred in Rich mond, and is but a repetition of his previous exploits, and is of such a ro mantic character that we give the full particulars thereof: . "In the latter part of May last an advertisement appeared in a Hartford religious weekly newspaper, by which it appeared that a widower of means desired to employ the services of a governess for his daughter, aged eight years. A Miss Turpin, of Richmond, Va., saw the advertisement and answered it. Miss Turpin, is a young lady of twenty-four years, ami able, accomplished and pretty. She is of an old and well connected fami ly, and the daughter of a widow who, being in somewhat reduced circum stances, takes boarders. Thinking to assist her mother Miss Turpin ap plied for tbe situation, asking for further information, and referring to a distinguished judge and a Rich mond clergyman as to her own char acter aud qualifications. She re ceived in reply a letter dated New Haven,Conn., and signed T. A Marvin. The writer 6aid he was the gentle man wanting a governess and pro ceeded to give a dignified and well written account of bimself as an American gentleman of wealth and a widower with one child, who spent his time mainly in travelling in Europe and who was now about to go to the hot springs of Arkansas for the benefit of his health. He gave as reference Judge Cowan, of German town, Pa.; William A. Taylor, ex member of Congress, of Camden, N. J., add the Rev. John Danford, of Media, Va. He expressed himself as highly pleased with Miss Turpin s letter, and although her terms were rather high he thought he would like to engage her and would come on to see her as soon as he had settled some business affairs in New-York. Miss Turpin wrote to the three per sonages Mr. Marvin had named as reference and received the most satisfactory replies. The writers united in speaking of Mr. Marvin in the most nattering terms. They said that they had known him a great many years; that he was a gentleman of great culture and refinement; of the highest honor and integrity and possessed of large means. The cler gyman wrote that his daughter had been Mr. Marvin's first wife, and that he had treated her with the ut most kindness. Miss Turpin ex pressed her satisfaction with the re sult of her inquiries, and so informed Mr. Marvin, who came to Richmond to see her, their interview resulted in her partial engagement as governess for his daughter, whose sudden illness, he explained, called him away before the contract was closed. Miss Tur pin and her mother were most favor ably impressed by Mr. Marvin. He was a tall, stout, fine looking man of sixty years, with white hair and whiskers, pleasant gray eyes, of in sinuating address and conversational powers. A few days after Mr. Marvin's de parture to atteudto his sick daughter Miss Turpin received a letter from Mrs. Taylor, the wife of the Camden Congressman, making an interesting and romantic disclosure. The writer said that she could not resist the temptation of betraying Mr. Marvin's confidence in a good cause. He had called on her since he left Richmond and told her that the young lady whom he was about to engage as governess was the moat charming woman he had ever met in his life. He was in love with her, and would be the happiest man in the world if he thonght Miss Turpin would con sent to be his wife. The writer strongly advised the latter to consent if Mr. Marvin should offer himself, saying that she had known him thirty years, that he had been a devoted husband to his first wife, and had nursed her tenderly through the long illness which terminated in her death six years ago. Two days after this a letter came from Mr. Marvin formally proposing for Miss Turpin's hand, and saying that he could not bear to think of employing her as a mere governess. A day or two after he presented himself in person and was accepted. He again had to leave hurriedly on business, and on his return settled $30,000 for life on his prospective wife, and on the 20th of July last the couple were married, and the groom being in haste to get to the Hot springs for nis health and thence to go abroad. The happy couple started on a honeymoon trip at once, but before leaving, through the identification of Mr. A. M. Brownell, a Richmond bu siness man and brother-in-law of the bride, Mr. Marvin cashed a draft for $765, drawn by Bavid & Bradley, through the First National Bank of Madison, Wis., on the First National Bank of Chicago. Out of this he tooic Jtzw in money and the balance in a draft on the Merchants' National Bank of New York. Mr. Marvin had not left Richmond a week before it was known that the draft which he had presented was a forgery, and when it was discoved that he had stooped to the small bu ness of borrowing $15 from the min ister who had married him, it was re alized that he was a scoundrel and an adventurer." Detectives were at once sent in pursuit of him, and they findly ar rested him at a town in Massachu setts. Miss Turpin returned to her friends at Richmond. Only four days before his marriage to her he had married a young lady in New Jersey, a daughter of a respectable clegyman, whom he deserted after obtaining money from her father !

Which is answered in three words Take Hop Bitters ! Express. Our European Letter. Doctors Commons, ) London, E. C, Aug. 6, 1881. j My Dear Record : I have found very great inconvenience in writing while travelling. It is difficult to steal sufficient time from seeing the wonders around you. So much is to be seen in so short a time that many objects, worthy of close attention, have to be passed with a glance. This vast city covering 122 square miles and equalling in population the cities of Paris, Berlin, New York and Vien na, forms itself the study of years. The museums are full of interesting curiosities. Relics of pre-historio ages, antiquities from AsiaGreece, Rome, North and South America, Africa and Australia nre to be seen in them in large numbers. The In dia sections, containing fabrics, ie very interesting. Seeing the exhibi tion I realized that the wealth of In dia was not fabulous, but real and incalculable. England has rifled the riches of India to exhibit them to the English nation. It reminds one of Cortez and Pizarro and of Napoleon a more recent example. If I un dertake to mention the collections to be seen in these museums, I should exhaust the patience of your readers. The buildings alone cover ten acres. Many of your readers being far mers will perhaps be pleased to hear something of the Royal Agricultural Show (the English use this word, not the word fair) of England, which I was so fortunate as to be present at for one day. It is not held at a fixed place as our State Fair, but at a dif ferent city each year. This year it was held at Derby. For this reason there are no large and handsome buildings in the grounds, but tents and temporary wooden structures. The articles are very tastefully ar ranged for exhibition, each person being allowed to display his articles according to his own fancy. The dis play far surpassed any I have ever seen, and I heartily wished that some of our farmers, who desire to improve the cultivation of their farms and the appearance of their horses, could have walked around the grounds. The farm-horses there were no other breeds On exhibition were immense animals, but remarkably active and well-formed; one of them would weigh twice or thrice as much as the horse on exhibition at our State Fair. I saw fine specimens of the celebrated breeds of sheep, cattle and hogs. The display of these was considered very fine. Then there was the machinery from the simplest form of feed-cutter to the most complicated encrine. I noticed one or two American ma chines on exhibition. The number of labor saving machines is wonder ful, and the purposes to which they are adapted even more wonderful. I have often heard it said that no ma chine could do the work of the hoe, and I was much astonished to see at the Derby show a digging ma chine. It seemed to Knit its nnmnsn admirably. If inventions continue to be made tbe farmer will have little manual labor to perform more than the setting to work his machinery. When this time comes agriculture will be more popular and the law and tbe sounter will decline in the esteem of the young1 men. Mav this day be quick in coming ! lhe i'nnce of Wales was present at the show the day before I atten ded, and the streets had been gaily decorated with flowers and arches of evergreens. Above one of the arches the stars and stripes were floating. It was a pleasant sight. The crowd present was immense, larger than at tends four or five of our fairs. I regret that I must bring this let ter to a close. I have no more time for writing. We leave this morning for tbe Rhine country. I am yours, James S. Majtxing. Small Farms and Big Crops. We commend to the serious con sideration of the farmers of Chatham the following from the New York Herald: "Twenty years ago the State of Mississippi, always famous for its cotton yield, contained about forty thousand plantations, averaging three hundred and seventy acres each; now she has nearly twice as many, but the average size is only half that of 1860. The number of acre under cultiva tion is less than in 1860, for scarcely any rough land has been cleared and some plantations have been ininiWl by broken levees, and yet the cotton crop is about twice as large as it was in the good old times. No bettor proof could be wanted to establish the desirability of decreasing the size of farms and increasing the number of owners; but the lesson should be learned elsewhere as well as in the South. Whole counties in the United States are wretchedly poor because every farmer is trying to handle a "quarter section"--one hundred and sixty acres with only enough capi tal and working force to properly till a Quarter as mnnri anil A farmer with two poorhorses.twobad ploughs, a Doy or two or a hired m can get no more monev rmt nf a hundred and sixty acres of land than from iorry, due year alter year ne wiu try to do it and succeed only in getting poorer. The big farms of California have been the subject of much envious talk, but the class of Cali fornia farmers, aside from capitalists, inai mane most money is composed of the men who have clustered in colonies where scarcely a single estate exceeds forty acres. Any poor farmer with a large farm would be better off if he were even to give away half his land, for then he would be compelled to restrict himself to space that could not yield him less, if worked at all, and would not put his pocket and muscle to the in rxrr they are enduring." Moore Gazette: The Grand Jury, at this term of the Superior Court reported the iail building sua inKMnnt aud leaky. Philadelphia's Greatness. Rev. Dr. Pritchard has recently visited Philadelphia, and has written to the Biblical Recorder the follow ing interesting account of what .he saw there : " When one from the country or a small town visits a large city, there are several things which strike him with wonder. One is the immense aggregation of humanity which he finds there. Philadelphia has nearly nine hundred thousand inhabitants, while New York, with the contigu ous cities of Brooklyn, Jersey City, Newark, Yonkers, Hoboken and Eli zabeth, all within a radius of twenty five or thirty miles, contain several hundred thousand more population than are to be found in the whole State of North Carolina. The stran ger next wonders bow all these peo ple get a living. They do not make a grain of wheat or an ear of corn, and seem in some mysterious way to live upon one another. A third thing which impresses the visitor profoundly is the vast accu mulation of wealth which meets his eye on every side. I can take half a mile of some streets in New York, Philadelphia or Boston, and find there more wealth than the entire State of North Carolina will repre sent. Just let me go into details for a moment. There are many private residences in the cities which co?t from one hundred to five hundred thousand, and a few a million of dol lars each. Arch street Methodist church, in Philadelphia, of marble, cost $250,000 just across the street is Saint John's Lutheran church, of green stone, which cost $300,000; not far away is the Masonic Temple, on which were expended $1,300,000 ; while still near is the new Citv Hall which has already cost $6,000,000, and will probably C06 nearly as much more. It is to be 470x486ft. and will cover nearly 4 J acres, the largest building on the continent. The en tii e structure will contain 520 rooms and will be faced on all sides with white and light-blu marble. The new Post Office, of erranite will cost $6,000,000. The building of Girard College cost $1,733,821.93, and the estate which Girard left to this col lege amounts to over $4,000,000 ; it takes $190,000 to support this insti tution for a year. The stone wall around the grounds is worth proba bly half a million. The University buildings, which are of green stone, cost $900,000. The Insane Hospital cost $800,000. The Wagner Free Institute, the gift of one man, cost $400,000. Girard avenue bridge cost $1,500,000. But perhaps the best way that I can convey an idea of the great wealth of this city is to tell your readers that the average price per front foot of the land on Chestnnt street is three thousand dollars 1 and yet for miles that street is crowded with stores and residences which rep resent millions and millions of money; and New York is far richer than Philadelphia. A fourth thing which strikes a countryman is the tremendous hurry everybody seems to be in men, wo men and children, horses, carriages everything is driving ahead, as if the fate of the world depeuded upon their getting to a certain place in a given time: this hurry and bustle is especially true of New York. Thus far I have been speaking of cities in general, but now I wish to present some peculiar features of Philadelphia features in which it is distinguished from all other Ameri can cities. In the first place, it has more houses than any other city in the world according to population. New- York has several hundred thousand more people than Philadelphia, but Philadelphia has several hundred houses more than New York. In the proper sense of the term Phila delphia has no tenement house every family has its own house and rents are very cheap. I called to see Mr Charles Hepry Foster, who is one of the editors of the Record, and whose wife is the sister of Bro. J. E. Carter, and he told me he paid only $25 per month for the house he oc cupied a much better house than you can get in Raleigh for that price. Philadelphia is, on this account, as well because it is the most remarkable manufacturing city in the world, the mechanics paradise. Philadelphia has a greater variety of manufactures than any city in this or any other country. It has between nine and ten thousand different manufacturing establish ments, including 178 different kinds, employing 197,934 hands, represent ing $202,506,644, and producing articles to the value of $322,984,461 annually. I will mention the number and capital invested in 6ome of these enterprises. The bakers lead as to numbers, there being 858 bakeries in the city; the next in order are the shoemakers, of which there 604 firms; then come the slaughters and meat packers, of whom there are 402 different establishments; the fourth are the cigar and tobacco manufac turers, of whom there are 473; of clothier there are 416; carpenters and builders, 320; &c, &c. The largest amount of capital invested with per haps the largest profits also, is to be found in cotton, woolen, and mixed goods factories, not including carpets, which employ $21,190,005 and 21, 492 hands, and yield a product of $39,465,390. The next largest amount of capital is invested in chemicals, in cluding soap and candles, amounting to $12,570,971. and yielding a pro duct of $14,945,821. Carpet estab lishments have a capital cf $11,994, 383, and yield a profit of still greater magnitude, the value of the annual product being $20,304,826. Iron has done a great deal for Philadelphia, and I was much struck with the magnitude of the Baldwin Locomotive works, by which I passed almost every day. This establish ment was fonnded by Matthias W. Baldwin in 1830, who was the first to make and successfully use a steam engine, which feat was accomplished in 1833. In these shops 3,000 men are employed and they complete an engine in every eight working hours. I have dwelt on the manufactures of Philadelphia to show your readers the great source of wealth of which I had before spoken here, and in the thousands and thousands of stores, with the hundreds of thous ands of people from the country, bringing in the products of the soil and buying what they need for their stores and houses, we see how these immense masses of humanity get a living." A Relic of Barbarism. (Fayetteville Examiner.) A bare majority of voters is suffi cient to decide whether an amend ment to the constitution of North Carolina shall be adopted. A bare majority of the two branches of the General Assembly is sufficient to pass a law affecting the private prop erty and interests of the whole people of the State. A baro majority in Congress with the assent of the President of the United States, can pass laws affecting fifty millions of people, but a majority of eleven out of twelve jurymen cannot settle a boundary line involving the title to a square yard of land, or determine the ownership of a blind mule. The historian Hallam denounces this unanimity required of a jury as a "preposterous relic of barbarism;" and so it is. The Midland. The Greensboro North State in an article on the Midland North Caro lina Railway says: "It is proposed to extend the line from Goldsboro to Salisbury and to a point on the Virginia Midland South of Statesville. This will give the Baltimore & Ohio R. R a system which will make it tolerably interest ing for the Clyde syndicate. The more the merrier. Maj. Yates will get all there is out of his line and develope the country through which he passes. He is a live man with experience, ability and the energy of a steam engine. The day is not fir Ji6taut when the Cape Fear & Y. V. R. R. the N. C.Midland and the Vir ginia Midland united will give North Caroliua the relief sho needs. Speed the day." State RTews.

Reid8ville Times : A recent raid in Randolph broke up 14 distilleries. The blockaders have a big bell on top of a dwelling house that can be heard four miles around, and when once rung the horns are blown in every direction and the distillers take to their holes. One still had 24 hogsheads of beer. Goldsboro Messenger: The only four counties that gave prohibition majorities were Yancey, Transylva nia, Haywood and Mitchell, and these were very small. The counties nam ed are situated in the mountainous west, where most of the .distilleries are run. Haywood and Mitchell are Republican. Newbernian: On last Saturday there was growing in the garden of Mr. J. Havens, on East Front street, a flourishing, thrifty Meisch grape vine; the vine was bending nnder its load of fruit two-thirds grown; it was as 'green as a leak' healthy anc vigorous. On Sunday morning after the storm of Saturday night the vine was parched, seared, withered and dead. Who can account, and how, for this phenomenon? Statesville Landmark : Mr. John Lowery, who lived on Big Dutchman Creek, in Davie county had been to County Line last Saturday, and was returning home Saturday morning in a two-horse wagon, having a child, two or three years of age, with him. The child went to sleeD and Mr. Lowery was laying it down in the oacK part oi the wagon, when the lines dropped down on the horses' heels. As he stepped out on the tongue to pick them nt he mimad his footing and his fall frightened the horses which becran to kick and mn Mr. Lowery became fastened, was dragged down the hills which the team was descending and acrnsa a. creek at its foot, when the horses stopped on the other side.
