Mr. John Holloway was in the city on Wednesday and left for Concord and Greensboro. The Charlotte Light Infantry have received the S3OO from the State, and are relieved of embarrassments. The bonds issued by the city last fall have all been sold at par. They were nicely engraved at an expense of SSOO. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mrs. Mary E. Harris to Mr. Q. B. Neal in Hempstead, Tex., on the 15th. Superior Court is in session at Mon roe this week. They are now in their new court house, which is the finest in the State. It was talked on the streets a few weeks ago that if the magistrate got hold of Mr. Black he would graduate him on the rock pile. Grace Church has received a new pulpit stand. It is a very pretty piece of work and was presented by Mr. Josiah Asbury. Mrs. G. W. Clinton, of Union, S. C., is now in South Florida with Bishop Jones, endeavoring to improve her health. Mr. Walter Henderson spent last Sunday in our city on his return from Union county. He re-enters Living stone to graduate in May. M iss Alice Capelle was married to Mr. S. T. Canady on the 29th ult., at Hamlet. Rev. P. B. Simpkins offi ciated. / Rev. 11. W. Richardson has begun “So improve his church at Matthews. He is putting on new weather-board ing and will ciel and plaster it. Elder Rives will hold quarterly meeting at Little Rock to-day It is thought that church is about all right now and things seems to be in condi tion to move of! right. The three year old child of Mr. Henry McKoy fell from a 2d story window of his house in Rockingham one night last week. According to the information sent us, it was serious ly hurt. Why does the colored man want to go West ? Because $2 vs. 30 cents per day for men, and $25 vs. $5 per month for women is thought to be an inducement. Labor is not paid for here, and that is why they are ad vised to go west. Prof. Alexander Graham, of Fay etteville, has been elected superinten dent <>K,our city graded schools. His salary is fixed at $1,400 and a house free. We think this is a wise selec tion. Mr. Graham has been superin tendent of the graded school of Fay etteville several years, aud is a clever gentleman. A letter from Mr. R. P. Bearden, iu Jacksonville, Fla., this week, brought us $2.00, and says the Mks sKNoF.a must be read down there. He speaks very highly of that country, and speaks of the exhibition now going on in that city. The colored people have a department and special days. He speaks of Bishop Jones’ visit to the churches there. f Is C. 11. J. Taylor a married man or not. If not who is the woman ho registered at Goode’s Hotel as his wife a few week’s ago ? Such charac ters cannot be allowed to lead our race, if they are considered by the whites as proper persons and receive the appointment of the leading demo crats. The members of Grace Church Sab bath school were made to smile by the appearance of a beautiful library case, purchased by some of the gentlemen members. Also a number of Bibles, Testaments, Psalms, and tracts, from some good Northern friends. It is a handsome case, and the books show off well. The school is now ready to receive books from friends. Star Chamber Courts. The first Star chamber court of our knowledge held in this city, was the one held by Justice D. G. Maxwell last Thursday morning in the trial of Mr. E. A Black, for assaulting Prof. Lawrence, of Biddle University. The writer sought and was refused admittance to the trial. This new ruling of Justice Maxwell is another evidence of the little regard these lat ter day magistrates have for the people. Justice Maxwell refused to admit reporters or any one except the witnesses. What law he has for such actions we do not question, for he is an honorable justice of the peace. The matter will certainly be published as the Justice well knew when he had his door shut against the public. His action will cause the more said about it. Lawrenec vs. Black. Mr. E. A. Black was on last Thurs day morning before Esquire D. G. Maxwell charged with assaulting Prof. Lawrence, a professor in Biddle Uni versity. The merits of this case have been published, but neither party has been presented till now. We were not allowed to hear the trial, but learn afterwards, there were new de velopments. Dr. Lawrence swore that Black hit him first and Black swore that Lawrence kicked him first. Dr. Lawrence knew nothing of the prosecution and did not desire to con tend, hence the matter was dropped on Mr. Black paying tea dollars. It seems that as Dr. Lawrence failed to prosecute Mr. Black the great State of North Carolina moved forward and did so. An effort was made to break down Black’s character, but for some cause it failed. How in the name of com mon sense could a faculty afford to prove a man of bad character whom they had five or six successive years endorsed and recommended for aid three times a year ? As soon as a white man begins prosecution against a colored man he tries to break down his character. There was no corroborating or con tradicting evidence. Each swore pos itively against the other. The white man’s word weighed down the colored man’s so much that it took ten dol lars to balance them. Commonly when colored persons go before a magistrate here, each pays cost, but in this case Lawrence goes free while Black pays ten dollars. Should we contend for a recognition of manhood iu the students out there and say anything to condemn such un fair and partial trials, some one might charge us with being an outside med dler Such acts as this will bring forth their fruit at the proper season. This and That. Lumbehton, N. C., Feb. 7, 1888. Dear Sir: —Allow me space in your paper for a few thoughts from this section of the State. Last Saturday afternoon, iu compa ny with our esteemed friends, Prof. J. W. Jacobs, who is a graduate of the Whitin Normal, and our distin guished young lawyer, J. 8. Lcwiß, Esq., we visited the growing town of Maxton. Though only a few miles from us, it has been quite a while since wc visited this thrifty town. We can truly say that we know of no town of its size which has made more improvements within tho last decade. Standing on its streets one secs the busy shoppers, rushing to anil fro, in a different way to what one sees iu our own town. One can sec the pub lic spirit of the place in tho general improvements—in the streets, the care taken of them, the way they are lighted, and the way the town is guarded every night, by hired watch men. Some say the thrift of this place is due to it being a wet town. It is true that bails of the critter leave this place for our own and other towns, yet we do not admit that its prosperity is due mainly to that. A town is made what it is by its citizens, and wherever you find the right kind of citizens in any town, that is a pros perous town. The character of towns and communities is the character of its citizens. We left Prof. Jacobs down at Moss Neck, among our Croaton friends, among whom he will teach for the re mainder of the winter, and he has also an offer to teach their normal school, which was given them during the session of the last Legislature, because they are so much more re fined (?) and better than wc niggers— they cannot go with us to school—so the Legislature gave them this school But there are Democratic rotes in this thing. “Hold Robeson, and save the State! ” We went up to M on par (tickler) business, but our lawyer friend on ladg business, but alas for slow trains ' for she was out of town, and our friend [ had to leave without feasting his eyes I that time. But he has had many a look ’afore, and only he can tell what the result will be. Oh, we forgot— she can tell too. We called on our esteemed friends, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who entertained us highly till a late hour. Also Hon. O. S. Hayes, who does business here. He is a clever gentleman, and has good trade. With Hayes a man’s a man. He is a Republican in deed. From here we called on the Rev. Blalock, the M. E. preacher, who, with his good lady, entertained us very kindly. But as the train is not due here, from tho west, till three A. M., we chatted until one after an other took his journey into the laud of “Nod,” where wo stayed till time for the train. We arrived at our home by five A. M., and our bachelor friend sneaked off to find some place to stop till day, while we, who have a better-half and babes by the room-full, reached our home in due time, where everything was warm and cheery. Observing j the contrast, who wouldn’t go up the road, if he be a bachelor? Four were sent to the penitentiary from Robeson Court—-all colored, and j all young men in the prime of life. ! When will our young men learn to j take the advice so kindly given them : from day to day ? When will they learn that the way of the transgressor j is hard ? Just for the lack of sense aud tho want of thought, honor, and race pride, these four men must stay iu prison, deprived of their liberty, for eleven years, in the aggregate —long enough to earn, at seventy-five cents a day, two thousand five hundred and seventy-four dollars. But this is for one county. Now take the nearly one hundred counties, at this rate, and you have the enormous sum of $257,400, worse than thrown away. Yea, far worse, for it’s the measure ot the labor of four hundred men, all from one race; and far worse still, four hundred men, with all that is dear to man—his honor, his character, and perhaps his soul, lost—lost for nothing. There is one thing we never could understand, and that is, why it re quires so much to convict a white man and so very little to convict a black one? It brings to our mind the song, which you may have heard while here, which runs : It’s hard, it’s hard, it’s tiard, it's hard. It’s hard to lie a rugger, Ac. But this is all bosh. More anon.

Artificial Optics for I)»y ami lor livenfirg I'so—Tlio Oculist’s Skill. One eyed people who can afford it have two glass eyes—one for day, tho other for evening use. The reason for this is that the pupil of the eye is smaller in the daytime than at night, and hence tho two glass eyc3 are of different sizes, so as to correspond with the natural eye. The price of glass eyes is becoming cheaper on account of competition, end at tho same time the quality is better. A com mon glass ej*o may be had for < 10, but they are not good deceptions and do not last long. A first class eye costs SSO, or even more. Tho best will not last over’ two years, because the secretions in tho hollow of the eye roughen the glass by I chemical action, and this roughness irri tates the flesh. A glass eye. like false teeth, is taken ' out at night, for ft would not lx* safe to go to sleep with it in the c ivity. It might drop out, and the rii V t fr II would break it. If a per !:1 buy glass eyes at wholesale, by the .ho could get them for about £2 a: i But he would have to look over n at many before finding one to fit and l> match his other eye in size, color and <- ; - ion. Glass eyes are all made a ! < : . princi pally in Germany iul no factory having beer here, although there Is a ; mand for them in this country. eye is not made after the sh;r . oral eye, because when the i.x ken from the cavity the tissue j : f it presses forward and leave; little space. The false cyt »s, in iop tical in shape. The outer x rves the natural form, but the !e is near fiat with rounded cv- . It. is slightly larger than the na; I • *. so that when inserted in the cavity it may not sliy out. At first it irritate ; the eye lids and the tissue back of the cavity, but the wearer grows accustomed to it and finds it a rest and a protection. A skillful oculist can put a glass eye into the cavity so that very close observation i.j necessary to detect it. Not only are the size and color of the natural eye counterfeited, but even the general expression. The oculist has yet to discover means of giving that sympathetic movement which dis tinguishes a pair of eyes. There is quite a large number of people with glass eyes, say one in 400. You would not know it l»y casual observation, for the wearer of a glass eye is so sensitive on tho subject that he is careful of his actions in public, and lie becomes so accustomed to the glass orb that he can prevent all but in timate friends from discovering his de fect. Science has done better by him than by the man with the wooden limb. —Oculist in Globe-Democrat. Salt a Factor in Building. The American Architect asserts that one of the new building materials which is likely to be found useful in many ways is common salt. Among tho carpenters salt is now found to Ik? useful as an aid to the heating of glue. Where, as is usual in joiners’ and cabinet makers’ shops, tho glue is melted in a jacket kettle, sur rounded by water, it is said to be advis able to put salt in the water in the outer kettle. The addition of salt raises tho boiling point, and, therefore, allows tho glue in the kettle to be kept at a higher temperature than could be maintained with water alone, and this is advanta geous to the work. The masons find their use for salt in adding it to cement mortar in cold weather, to preserve it from the bad effects of freezing. It is not quite clear why the salt should act in this way, as the beneficial results of using it are visible with mortar which has certainly been frozen, and frozen salt water expands nearly its much as fresh water. But engineers and contractors who have tried it are unanimous in their opinion of its value. In many cases masonry has been laid in cement in cold weather, using a considerable proportion of salt in the mixture, which after re peated freezings and thawings has re mained in perfect condition, while work near by laid in mortar of the same kind, but without salt, has been disintegrated by the frost.—Scientific American. Revenge Among; the Afghans. Badal, or revenge, is the soul of Afghan life. All the history of Afghanistan, both public and private, is one continued tale of vendetta. However, it chances that E have not in my collection any song of vendetta illustrating this side of Afghan life in a manner sufficiently character istic to deserve quotation. Suffice it to say that vendetta is with the Afghans what it is with the Corsicans, tho Alba nians, all primitive mountaineers; it is hereditary and not to be prescribed. Even on British territory the law is powerless against the badal; it is one of the crim; for which no witness will be found to speak before the judge in kachehri. There is hardly an Afghan in the mountain who has not a foe who aims at liis head and at whose head he aims. It happens not seldom that an Afghan sepoy from Yag histan—many Afghans from over tho border enlist in the native contingent— asks for leave for private business; that means that there is up there some wolf’s head which he has to take. There is a story of an Afghan sepoy, who, having not joined his paltan in due time, com plained bitterly of the iniquity of hi 3 officer, who had dismissed him from ser vice: “I had a duty of badal to perform: 1 had a foe to kill. The scamp absconded for weeks; what could I do?” Contem porary Review. Lady Brassey’* I>r:il It. Wo are requested to state that a sensa tional story now going the rounds of tho provincial press, to the effect that the late Lady Brassey, in a fit of delirium arising from fever, leaped overboard from the Sunbeam, is totahv untrue aud with out the smallest foundation. Lady Brassey died of malarial fever.—London Times. •Jam Without Berrien. a Boston man, who is a manufacturer of jam, says that no lv.sj>ber ries at all are used m making it. What is used, it appears, are tomatoes, glucose and liaysccd, and a little prepared rasp berry flavor.—Chicago Herald. -C There is no place where the ups and | downs of litc occur more rapidly than in Washington, and as a result tlio pawn- I brokers of the capital arc all wealthy. Education In Germany. The Germans are rapidly developing a system of evening continuation classes which carry on education for two or three years longer. In Saxony tho boys who leave the primary school, if they do not go to tho higher schools, must attend for three years longer—say until they are 17 —continuation classes for at least five hours per week: But teaching is pro vided for them, and they are encouraged to attend twelve hours per week. So complete is this system that even the waiters at tho hotels up to the age of 17 attend afternoon classes, and are taught one or two foreign languages. I take Saxony as one of the most advanced states, but the law is much the same in Wurtemberg and Baden, and the system is found to work so well that it is in con templation to extend it to all the states in the German empire, and Austria will probably follow suit. This is confidently expected to happen in the course of 1888. 1 may state as an undoubted fact that in Germany and Switzerland, ai d I be lieve in some other continental countries, the opinion is ripening into a conviction that tho education, even of the poorest class, should be continued in some form or another to the ago of 1C or 17. They find by experience that wherever this is adopted it gives an enormous advan tage to the people in the competition of life, and, above all, trains them to habits of industry and mental application. I be lieve it is owing to this system of thorough education that Germany lias almost ex tinguished the pauper and semi-pauper class which is the bane and disgrace of our country.—London Times. Pino Dark ns a Diet. One article of subsistence sometimes employed by the Indians is only resorted to when they are driven to great straits by hunger. Around many of the water ing places in the pine forests of Oregon and California tlio trees of Pinu3 poll- j dcrosa may be seen stripped of their bark for a space of three or four feet near the base of the trunk. This has been ac complished by cutting with a hatchet a line around the tree as high up as one could conveniently reach, and another lower down, so that the bark, severed above and below, could lie removed in strips. At certain seasons of tlio year a mucilaginous film (the libumum) separ ates the bark from the wood of the trunk. Part of this film adheres to each surface and may ho scraped off. The re sulting mixture of mucilage cells and half formed wood is nutritious and not unpalatable, so that, as a last resort, it may be used as a defense against starva tion. The frequency with which signs of its having been resorted to are met with, is a strking indication of the un certainties and irregularities of the supply department among savages.—Popular Science Monthly. Interviewing; Gen. Duller. Gen. Butler, as is well known, is tho ideal man to interview—when he is will ing to talk, I hasten to say. lie holds up both ends of the conversation, dictating questions and answers; and lie lias been known, when he found that his visitor was not a shorthand man, to call in his private secretary and make that unfortu nate man do the reporter’s work. Wo hear little about Gen. Butler being mis quoted. by the way.—W. E. Brigham in The Writer. Cremation In Paris. The new crematory at the cemetery of Peru la Chaise was tried by the crema tion of two corpses from a public hospi tal, which had been neither claimed nor identified by relatives or friends. It took two hours to reduce the bodies to ashes, and they loft about four pounds of ashes each. It is such unclaimed bodies and other nauseous and noxious refuse mat ter from the hospitals which will keep that crematory busy.—Paris Letter. A Postage Stamp Exchange. The number of Berlin trade institu tions lias been increased by the addition of a “board for postage stamps.” There are 120 members. The society of stamp collectors elected the five trustees. A large amount of business was done. Old German stamps, not used, were in great demand. Next came American stamps. The supply was much greater than tho demand. The exchange will meet every night. —Chicago News. Jenny Lind, during her tour in thin country, gave ninety-five concerts, ar.d die aggregate receipts were 12.101.34.
