Watermelons arc plentiful, but high. Send in your money for the Messenger. The Messenger may be found at Hen derson’s barber shop. Our headquarters arc at Goode’s for a few days. C. H. Jones will assist us in collecting for the Messenger. Send us $1.50 and have the Messenger sent to you one year. The colored teachers association is now in session at Kittrel Springs. Mr. Cleveland has proven to be a much stronger man than he was thought to be. He is a Democrat nevertheless. The Messenger is the peoples paper. It is bound to no church, society nor party. Charlotte has two daily, five weekly, and two monthly newspapers, and four job printing offices, besides the Southern Newspaper Union which does a very large amount of printing. The work on a new paper is heavy, but it seems unusualy heavy with us this week. This issue is a warning to our friends that we arc coming. The A. M. E. Zion Church iu Salisbury raised $70.06 on Children’s Day. What do our large churches think of that? Congress may adjourn some time in July or August, but if we are governed by what some of the Democratic papers s.iy of it, we need expect nothing good of this Congress but adjournment. The Democratic county convention is to be held in this city to day to send delegates to the Judicial, Congressional and State conventions. We hear nothing of any other party organizing. The good people of Biddleville are anx ious to have that village incorporated. They claim over seven hundred inhabi tants and will apply to the next Legis lature for a charter. Riddle University will be inclosed in the town. Much is being said by some of our neighbors about the Concord P. M. They say she is a Republican and must go, civil service and all to the contrary not withstanding. Ti e Oljsemr says much. Well, it is none of our fight. The Bishops of the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches will hold a joint meeting in Philadelphia, Pa., on the 15th inst. to consider the proposition of the union of the two churches. r Rackett Store is a new feature in our trade circles. The store is in the Central Hotel building on Trade street. There is no question about it; they sell gooda just as they claim—cheap. It is the place for poor people to go to Bave money. We arc to have electric lights for our streets instead of gas. Also a $2,800 frame building for our colored graded school. The site for the school has been purchased on Myers street, between Stonewall and First streets. A prohibition paper is to be published in this city. Three thousand dollars has lieen subscribed, and we are informed, the outfit purchased. It is not yet announced who will edit the paper, but, is expected to appear yithin one or two Miss Cora Allison, a member of Zion church and Sabbath school, was buried yesterday afternoon. Clinton Chapel Sabbath School will run nn excursion to Gastonia on the 23d inst. The fare will be about 75c. Par ticulars will be given next week. The excursion for Winston left yester day morning accompanied by the Steel Creek Brass Band and a fair crowd. It returned last night. Charlotte has a pqpulation of 10,000. We have seventeen churches: eight color ed and nine white, divided among the different denominations as follows: Col ored Methodists 3, Baptists 3, Presbyter ian 1, Episcopalian 1. White Methodists li, Baptists 1, Presbyterian 3, Episcopa ian 1, Lutheran 1, Catholic 1. Our old correspondents assure us of their hearty co-operation in helping us to make the Messenger a lively newsdaper. It gives us pleasure to mention among those who have promised to write and work for the Messenger: E. L. Thorton, our old Washington correspondent; P.F. Oliver, our Columbia, 8. C., correspon dent; Rev. G.W. Clinton, Chester, 8. C., Rev. D. Brown, Statesville, N. C., and Mr. J. W. McDonald, of Wilmington, N. C. Bishop J. W. Hood filled an appoint ment at Clinton Chapel last Wednesday night, A large audience greeted him. Presiding Rives made a few remarks welcoming the Bishop's return to us after an absence of three years. He referred to the fact of his having been pastor of this church at one time, of his being ordained Bishop here. &. The Bishop responded in few well chosen words. He then announced for a text, Galla sians vi., 7-8. In the pulpit and altar were Bishop Lomax, Presiding Elders Tyler and Rives; Revs. Slade, Mc- Corkle, Smith, Mosley, McNeill, Dav idson, Johnson, Thomas and Stitt. A collection of $lO on general fund was taken up. The Fourth. The fourth, coming on Sunday this year, our people celebrated the sth. Nep tune fire company paraded the streets in the forenoon. At night they had a fes tival at Carsons hall. Members of Ebc nezer Baptist church gave a festival at Hargraves hall. Ail entertainment was given at Gaithers hall by a number of gentlemen. The Fearless and Nameless baseball clubs played a match game in the morning. Good order was observed throughout the day. Many country people were in town and but little drunk eness was seen. WISE WORDS. Apology is only egotism wrong side up. • The way to do good is to be good- There must be light, then it will shine. Trust not to the omnipotence of gold, nor say unto it: “Thou art my confi dence.” There is nothing so sweet as a duty, and all the best pleasures of life come in the wake of duties done. There is no trait more valuable than a determination to persevere when the right thing is to he accomplished. Love does not aim simply at the con seious good of the beloved object: it is not satisfied without perfect loyalty of heart; it aims at its own completeness. There is a beautiful moral feeling con nected with everything in rural life that is not dreamed of in the philosophy ot the city. Be cheerful: do not brood over fond hopes unrealized until a chain, link after link, is fastened on each thought snd wound around the heart. Nature in tended you to be the fountain-spring of cheerfulness and social life and not the traveling monument of despair and mel ancholy. The Cow* of Buenos Ayree. A Buenos Ayers letter in the Chicago News has the following: Down the cross street comes a native leading twe cows, and to the tail of each is tied tht calf. He stops in front of a house, a servant comes out with a pitcher, the man turns the calf about, gives him t moment’s hope and a taste of reality. These cows are so motherly that they will not give down their milk except foi the calves, which must always stand b) their sides. This must be in the climate, as cows brought from North Amerirt snd trained to more generous habits soon develop the same domestic pur pose. The man shuts off the calf, fillt the pitcher and goes his way. Tha‘ seems to be a clear case of pure milk There is no use to look for fins in yout coffee now! There is a Society for thi Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, whicl is quite efficient and is doing much good It has forbidden the tying of calves tc the tails of the cows, but the cruelty ii not all prevented. A Knowing Terrier. A friend of mine living in Liverpool bad a terrier of the most sagacious na ture. It knew all the slippers of the va rious members of the Ismily. In thi evening, when any of them arrived home they would ssy: ‘‘Fetch my slippers.’ It would then run to any part of thi house, and bring down tint the right foot slipper, and place it beside the right foot of tho owner, amt would then fetcl the left.foot slip|icr and place it bunds the left foot.—.

Jells with Doors as Thick aa Tho«o of Large American Safes—The Prison Graveyard and Its Unknown Dead. When I was In London s short time igo, writes Alan Dale in the New York Vail and Express, I visited Newgate jail, nto which but few sightseers penetrate, •nd an inspection of which can only be ■btained by a written order. The great, olid-looking building, in the street tamed after it, stands just where busy .ondon commences, and seems to cast n 'loom even on the foggy, smokc-bc ;rimed quarter known to the postman n r .ondon E. C. Newgate has stood in nil ts grim, importance for more than six lenturies, and historians say that they lave read of King John commanding the Sheriffs of London to repair the jail and »f King Henry I. imprisoning thoic as ■ute officials for having allowed a con rict to escape. During tho great fire of London Newgate jail was utterly de itroyed. It was rebuilt in a stronger ’ashion, only to be again destroyed by ire during the Gordon riots, when a irowd of desperadoes forced their way nto one of the keeper's houses, delibor itely piled up the furniture they found ’.here, lighted it and plied it against the gates. The flames spread on all sides, ourning the chapel, fore-lodge and wards with relentless indiscrimination. New gate jail, or Newgate, as it is called,with t familiarity that is not the result of af fection, was rebuilt with improvements, snd you will find some Londoners who will tell you it is a beautiful building. Where the beauty comes in I can’t imagine. I don’t consider the Tombs a very grateful sight, but it is certainly more pleasing than Newgate, which, ilmost hidden by fog and smoke always, looks to me to be the very acme of every thing awful. The warden who greeted me when the heavy entrance gates had dosed behind my puny person first showed me the grim paraphernalia of the prison, snch as handcuffs, chains, irons md pinioning straps, all of which were aept in a small closet close to the en trance. Jack Sheppard’s irons were on view, and how Harrison Ainsworth’s hero could escape from such massive custody is a problem which my ingenuity cannot solve. Some of the irons weighed from twenty-eight to forty pounds, and were so roughly made that they had to be padded in order to prevent the flesh they inclosed from being injured by their pressure. In a shelf above these little louvenirs were two rows of plaster heads ,-epresentfng about three dozen of Eng land’s most nortorious criminals, among (hem Franz Muller, Jeffreys Mullins, Elizabeth Brownrigg and Courvoisicr, all as whom had been hanged at Newgate. The warder took me through the little chapel, a bare, uninviting-looking place, without even the harmonium or piano which in America is always used to ac company the hymns. One chair, covered with black leather and apart from all the others, was assigned to the prisoner con demned to die. He was thus a conspicu ous figure at divine service. From the chapel we passed into the exercising yard, a bare stone promenade, and thence into the cells, which resemble those used in the Penitentiary on Blackwell’s Island. Each cell was provided with a hammock ilung from side to side, three blankets, a Bible and prayer-book. Underneath the cells was a large carpenter’s room, which had been unused for many years and in which were six dark cells, only used in ultra-refractory cases. “Step in,” said the warder playfully, “and see how you like it.” I did not feel particularly easy in my mind but I did as he suggested. When the warden had shut first one door, big and massive as that of one of the im proved modern safes, and then another about a yard distant from it, I can’t say the sensation was delicious. It was pitch lark. Not a solitary ray of light pene trated the blackness. It was impossible to hear a shout from the cell. Had I called at the top of my voice the warder who was outside the second door could not have heard me. “Twenty-four hours of that,” said the warder humorously, as I emerged, blink ing, from the darkness, “was sufficient, so I am told, to reduce the most refrac tory cases. ’’ We next inspected the gallows, which had been dusted up that day, so the warden told me. It was like most other structures of that character. The “drop” was disclosed for my benefit,and also the chair on which prisoners were hurried into eternity, when in a fainting condi lion. Iu 1876 four murderers were exe cuted at the same time on this gallows. On that occa* ion the authorities of the prison were b -sciged by applications foi admission. F :oplc begged that the rule which had forbidden public hangings since 1868. might be set aside for that occasion, or at least that exceptions might be made. Home of the aristocrats of London craved admission, offering as much as ten or fifteen pounds for the privilege. To the left of the gallows was the burying ground, though no ground, in the hue meaning of the word, was visi ble. The criminals were buried undei the flagstones upon which wo were walking, snd the first letter of the pris I oner's name was engraved rudely upon' the opposite wall. It was rather a crud? method, tho warder cfnfesred. There were no means of distinguishing thi graves in cose two of the prisoners’ names began with the same latter. “But’ as the warder said with his elephantine good-nature, “they were not personages, or they would have been buried in the Habbey,” by which I presume he meant Westminster Abbey. This burial ground has been in use foi more than 150 years. The bodies wen all interred in quick-lime, so that they were rapidly destroyed to make room foi others. On the left hand side of thi burial ground were the letteis T. B. I. D T.,the initials of the five Cato street con spirators, who were executed in 1820 foi hatching a plot against the government. The warder had committed to memory the significance of most of the initials oi the walls, and gave me glib trauslatiom of them. He had acquired his knowl edge from his father, he said. It wai the only legacy the paternal parent had left him. As I left Newgate I re warded his verbosity with a shilling, which caused his expressive features tc distend into a capacious grin of satisfac tion. The Bell of Justice. It is a beautiful story that in one of tho old cities of Italy the King caused a bell to be hung in the tower of oncof the pub lie squares, and called it the “bell of justice,” and commanded that any oue who had been wronged should go and ring the bell, and so call the magistrate of tho city, and ask and receive justice. And when, in the course of time, the lower end of the bell rope rotted away a wild vine was tied to it to lengthen it; and one day an old and starving horse that had been abandoned by its owner and turned out to die wandered into the tower, and trying to eat the vine rang the bell. And the magistrate of the city coming to see who had rang the bell, found this old and starving horse, and caused the owner of the horse, in whoso services he had toiled and had been worn cut, to be summoned before him, and de creed that as this poor horse had rung the bell of justice, he should have jus tice, and that during the remainder ol the horse’s life his owner should provide for him proper food and drink and stable. A five-ton coal car or jimmy is eleven eeet six inches in length, from bumper tc jumper. An eleven-ton car is twenty •wo feet one inch. A car holding from fourteen to sixteen tons of anthracite ii •wenty-four feet two inches. A gondoli if twenty tons capacity is put at twenty ■even feet four inches. A large gondola *ith twenty-five tons capacity, is thirty two feet in length. There will be 46( •f the jimmies to the mile, and tha‘ neans 2,300 tons of coal, perhaps. Then will be 230 of the double jimmies, anc that means 2,640 tons. There will bt !18 of the large cars, and that may meat 1,270 tons. Os the gondolas there wil tie 193 cars, and this may mean 3,841 ■ons. Then of the larger ones there arc iay, 160 cars, which will equal in capacity 1,000 tons. All which goes to show lhat when you see or hear of a mile o* ■woof cars standing loaded it really doei lot mean so much coal. There exists in New Bedford, lowa, a very curious optical phenomenon in the parson of a little girl about ten years old, oy the name of Nancy Taylor. She at tends school up in Grant Township. II :he current philosophy of vision, that wt •eally see things upside down, be correct, then this little girl is an instance of a aerson who secsobjccta as they really arc. Bhe does her figuring and writing with inverted characters, begins at the right tide of the slate or paper, and reads with the book upside down. Objects within two feet Os her eyes look inverted, while 'f removed further off they make tho lame impression on her visionary organs that they do on other people's. Hei lyea are light blue, and have nothing ibout their appearance to indicate them ess capable of performing their (unctions ■han ordinary optics. They have been txamined by prominent specialists, but >0 malformation could be detected. “Sketching by telegraph” it ’lie latest aovelty. An ingenious system of adapt- Jig the alphabetical messages of tho flectric telegraph, or any other signaling ipparatus, to the reproduction at distant points of some kinds of drawings has acen contrived by Alexander Glen, ol England. It seems likely to be of much itility in military operations, as it is es pecially suitable for the transmission ot tmall maps or plans of a locality, and tor indicating the position of troops, jatteries, and {mints of attack. By it, t is claimed, portraits and sketches can aa re-produced with a fair degree o idelity. An Indiana man who, under the la* admiatration, held the position of India agent in Dakota, told the Chicago Joui' nal recently that the excessive dryness a the atmesphere there affected his health causing him to have the rheumatism a badly that be was net able to walk hal a mile, though he was never thus at flirted at home. A subsequent trail *f a to the Indian Terri lory sed a grea improvement in his h* eat He said h knew of many pecsonV erie * { to tear Montana also on act \ ' simila rheumatic troubles, ‘ \ tcSirg AND NOTES FOR WOMEN Ti c kilt is as fashionable as ever L walking costumes. Tho taller the walking hat is this aea son the more stylish it is. Garnet passementerie is worn withgom effect on black silk costumes. Ruchings of lace arc used as paneL and ns edging for the basques of bodices Plain colored bodices are worn witl summer plaids and checks by young per sons. Long, loose, black draperies and short full aprons arc arranged over kilt-plaited skirts. Narrow flounces are still worn. Thosi of luce are often lined with bright colored taffeta”. Short jackets for children have fuli plastrons. Long coats merely show th< bottom of the frock beneath them. Deep la-o flounces arc employed foi draping the backs of skirts. The front! of these dresses usually are beaded. Openwork striped tissues and trans parent canvas have corresponding taffe tas or faille to complete the costume. Bonnet crowns are a continual surprise —horse shoe, heart shape, indented; puffed out, square, oblong and round. Kilt-plaited summer dresses have plait) wide and scant, thereby reducing thi weight and the amount of material used. Pink and mnuvc are rival colors thil season. Pink is combined with a variety of colors, as green, heliotrope, and blue. Collars and cuffs for evening wear are of ribbon covered with net, gathered full snd finished in a frill at neck and wrist. A Michigan bride braided and mad< enough straw hats recently to pay th« minister for his services on her wedding lay. Os the forty-eight women lawyers iu ’.he United States only two have con lucted cases in court during the past year. Cashmere of fine quality and nun’s ceiling have overdresses of oriental lace. These combinations are only suitable foi young persons. One hundred and forty women are cm sloyed in the annex of the Agricultural Department building at Washington mpplying the Congressional demand foi iced. Mrs. Elizabeth Wade, of Madison,Mo.,’ - Is seventy years of age, and yet she has recently completed a bed quilt of 1,069 oieces, using 1,069 yards of thread in joining the pieces. Riding-habits of dark blue or brown :loth are preferred to those of dark nixed cloth, which have been lately in troduced. Dark green and garnet habits ire occasionally seen. Black lace dresses many be brightened Dy colored ribbons. The present lati tude in the arrangements of color per mits the use of black silk underdresses for lace of any color or texture. Last year’s leaf-shaped basques at tho jack of bodices of woolen material are ■till in favor. Where these are used the jodice is trimmed with velvet or moire intique, and two points of this fail below -he leaf points of the woolen material. Skeleton parasols made entirely of ex- | juisitc loce in black, white, fawn, green* ind other tints arc both costly and fash fonablo. Those who have used them in .he hot sun, however, are inclined to be ieve that they were intended for moon ight parades. The housewives of Norway make their :ommon flat bread largely of the pow iered branches of the young pine, not so nuch to save flour as to secure a light oaf. The bark proves to be not only in autritious but actually injurious, and is jeing denounced by medical men. Angel sleeves are seen on most of the louse dresses and wrappers, and are very tecoming to a shapely arm, as well as :00l during sultry weather. - Morning gowns of creamy white surah and Valen ciennes lace are exquisite. Those who cannot afford them take ones of white nus'.in and embroidery. Black stockings are still the only proper color for walking, but those of brown, 'awn, pink, scarlet, green arid other >ints, elaborately embroidered on the nstep, are worn with slippers and ow ties for the house, carriage and ball •oom. A pair of the oddest of these ex pensive necessities are of pale pink silk., with little scarlet lions playing taj; ■round the ankles. Another in electric Jlue is embroidered in seaweed and clam shells. , There are evidences of a revival of the ild-timc “harness” that was in such favor imoog young ladies twenty-five or thirty years ago. There is a plain band of rib- Son around the throat, and fiorn this , , several perpendicular rows extend below die waist and are finished by passemen terie ornaments,bead balls or other fancy drop trimmings. Intersecting these rows ire others that cross the bust and iboulders, and there is a belt with a bow ind ends finished like the rows from the leek. Satin-faced velvet is the most de sirable for tho purpose. Skirts are draped in various ways ovet plain or plaited jictticoats. For instance, i 6kirt of plain veiling is drapesi behind . ind plaited ou each sido,opening in fro tv* jvera petticoat embroidered in silks ami c® Deads. Another iR of open-work beige 'issue draped up with pretty passemen leric fastenings, over a plaited petticoat >f brown silk. A skirt of plain bluisli gray crape falls in full double plaits ovci i petticoat of bayadere striped veiling. The crape skirt opens in front to show the petticoat, winch aLssj comes below ‘.he edge. Again, another skirt is ol a-oolen guipure, draped over a skirt ol Freach moire. The Brightest. Johnny had a baby sister who was i particularly bright child. After a shor time on caith the little one went bock t. her home beyood the blue. One nigh shortly after her death the children wen looking ut the stars, when Johnny eriet i out: “Oh, seethe pretty stars; and one o them is baby si: ter.” “Which oncf’ asked another of th | children. “Tho brightest, of course.” proudl. answered Johnny, settling all furthe questions. The girls in the public schools ol * ! Brooklyn arc compelled to commit to nemory the Constitution of the United Hatec.
