JLOO-A.L. Forty of the hands in the Carolina Central shops at Laurinburg, will be discharged the last of this month. Wc hear it whispered that Sheriff J. M. Smith of Richmond county will allow the republicans of this district, to send him to Chicago as a delegate. Rev. 11. W. Richardson of the Matthews Circuit, has been at home in Wadesboro, sick, a week or more, lie is improving. Rev. J. P. Crawford of Cheraw, S. C., arrived in the city yesterday, with his family. He will take a new work iu South Georgia in a few weeks. The Fairfield Presbytery will meet at Rock Hill, S. C., the 2nd Wednes day in March. Mr. Foster writes us from Cluflin University, that they have six hun dred students enrolled there, and that a great revival is doing wonder ful work among the students. Prof. Simpson of the State normal at Salisbury, writes us that they now have over 130 students, and are get ting along nicely. Our State nor mals arc improving much. Mr. Scott writes from Lincoln University of the needs of our people. Wc need more money, more schools and more teachers down here. The average time of our schools is six to eight weeks in a year. The Blair hill would be to all the people of the South a second emancipation—eman cipation from ignorance. Mr. Sandy Ingram of Wadesboro, says the Negro is not a natural rogue, and that if colored men got §SO to §75 per month and white men §7 to §lO per month, white men would do most of the petty stealing. Bro. Ingram may be right; we know con dition fcas much to do with the acts of men. “Tar Heel,” writing from Lumber ton, gives some idea of the pay of our school teachers. He might have added the expense of traveling to be examined, to find the schools, the com mitteemen, and to get the money after it is made. Our teachers are too poor ly paid. The people should see that their teachers are well prepared and well paid Richmond County Court. Court has been iu session at Rock ingham the last two weeks. Three persons were on trial for their lives. Cbas. Sims, implicated iu the stabbing of Wesley Leak, last August, while gambling in a box car at the depot, was tried for perjury. The verdict in this case was not guilty. In last court James Leak was tried for the murder of Wesley Leak and acquitted. On Monday of this week I’earline Wallace was tried for the killing of Chris Leak, on the Bth of December. She was acquitted. On Tuesday Han nibal Leak was tried for the same offense and acquitted. On the night of the Bth of Decem ber, Chris. Leak, Hannibal Leak and others, were at Pearline’s house. Chris. Leak was shot through the j heart. It was shown that Hannibal! and Pearlinc both shot pistols, and witnesses swore that each did the kill ing. These parties are all colored. 1 On Monday of last week a white | man was tried for murder and acquit- j ted. A young man was sent to the \ penitentiary for three years for steal-! ing bacon, and another two years for stealing a pair of shoes. Other par ties were sent to jail for terms on ac count of drinking and rowdyism. Judge Phillips presided, and Solici tor McNeill prosecuted. A large crowd of witnesses were at this court from Moore county last week. Hon. O. 11. Dockery was at court this week. Lawyer W. 11. Quick is endeavoring to close out his practice in this court, and contemplates moving east. Dr. J. C. Price to Liberia. The President has appointed Dr. J. C. Price, President of Livingstone College, Minister to Liberia, Africa. It is not supposed Dr. Price will ac cept, but the President has shown good judgment, and a desire to im prove on his last appointment to Liberia. Dr. Price is the ablest colored man in America, yet we can’t spare him to go to Liberia. A Young Thief. From the Wadesboro Intelligencer we learn of a little white boy eight years old who continued stealing and misappropriating the money paid him for telegrams. On seeing he was about cornered, he goes into a gentleman’s house and steals a dollar, and goes a3 far as that would take him on the train. Republican County Ex. Com. The executive committee of Meck lenburg county are hereby requested to meet in the city of Charlotte on Thursday, the first day of March, 1888, to make arrangements for the holding of a county convention to select delegates to represent the coun ty in the State convention to be held Raleigh on the 6th of May; also the district convention to be called, and to attend to any other business that may come before the convention.

New days arc dear, and caqfoofc bo unloved, Though In deep grief wo cojuror aud cling to death; , Who has not known, in living on, a breath Full of some gladness that life’s rapture proved! If I have felt that In this rainbow world The very bout was but a preface given To tell of hi finite greater tints In heaven, And, lifo or no, heaven yet would bo unfurled, I did belie the soul wide joys of earth, And feelings deep as lights that dwell In seas.

Everybody in New York who is any body knows the wealthy, generous, hos- ; pitable and clever Mr. Obed Carhart and j his charming family. They had lived j many years in Lexington avenue, and I am glad to know that they art! living j there to this day. The Carhart mansion, is as well known, as handsome in archi tecture and as grandly furnished a3 is the best house in Fifth avenue. Mrs. Carhart is known throughout the city for her liberal hospitality and her unstinted char ity. They have had but one child, a daughter, a most accomplished girl, a cultivated musician, and a young lady of I unexceptionable manners and bearing. If Miss Henrietta had a fault (if fault it can be called), it was a fondness for harmless mischief. The Carharts frequently give very de lightful parties, chiefly of the musical sort, Miss Carhart being, as I have said, a competent musician. And it had hap pened that Sirs. Carhart had issued cards on Monday last for a musical soiree on the following Thursday. And among the invitations were one for my friend, Charles Crackles, and one for me. Crackles had been rather more intimate with the family than I was, and it is possible that my being favored with occasional invita- j tions from the Carharts was by reason of my being a very perfect performer on the triangle, and therefore, in some sort, a desirable addition to the ordinary musical entortaiment. The Carharts, notwithstanding that ! they did not much care to be very inti- | mate with the Bogey family, would not j alight their neighbor, and when the cards ; were sent out for tin Thursday a card of : invitation was sent to Mr. Bogey. And ; thus it was that I come to narrate the mischievous work of our valued friend, ! Miss Henrietta, who thought it would be j a matter of some amusement if she changed the invitations, sending to Mr. Bogey the one intended for Mr. Crackles i and the one for myself (which was done | by sending both invitations to the wrong numbers), and also sending one to Pro fessor Tod, who had been invited by Mr. Bogey to hold forth on the temperance question on the same evening of the Car hart party, so that Crackles and I, when we went to No. 115 G. would be going to the Carhart soiree, whereas wo should be going to the temperance and total absti nence meeting. On the other hand, Pro fessor Tod supposed that by going to the opposite house, at No. 1155, he would be going to address a large number of dis ciples on the absorbing subject of tem perance, which was the hobby equally of Mr. Bogey and Professor Tod. Accordingly, and as innocent as two “Lambs of the first year,” we went together in full dress to the Bogey resi dence instead of to that of the Carharts. As v*e alighted from the carriage I ob served that carriages were every moment dashing up to the door in quick succes sion, while there was scarcely any light about the premises at No. 1155. Strange 1 Still worse, however, and more dis couraging, was the gLance I got (as I entered the narrow hall) of the persons who were hanging about the staircase and the parlor doors. Why, some of the guests had overcoats on, many of them had not been shaved for ages and not one that I saw had patronized the hairdresser. Very remarkable this! But we were there, and we went into the hall, and | scarcely had Crackles and I entered be fore we ware violently seized by four solemn, and I may add seedy, persons, headed by a man with a white cravat, who informed me that he was Mr. Bogey (I had never before laid eyes on Mr. Bogey) and that this was the committee and that we were rather late. What this meant I could not possibly divine. Crackles and I were hurried up stairs into a dingy room with one gas burner in it. where wo were desired to leave our I coats and hats. Another singular fact! The parlors below were evidently full of guests, but there were not any other coats or hats about the darkened room. We, however, laid aside our overcoats • and hats, and it seemed very much to embarrass these worthy persons when they Raw us in dress coats, embroidered shirt fronts and white silk ties, and be held us drawing on white kid gloves. I give you my word that some of them wore woolen gloves. One of the committee here inquired of mo how were all the folks at Mudham. I could not see any particular fun or wit in that question; but the gentleman, ap parently meaning it as a joke, I smiled grimly and said: “That is good - very good, indeed —glad to know you, sir.” Whereat the inquiring mind of that member of tlie committee seemed puzzled j and even disturbed, and rather to shrink I back into himself as a thing subdued. Another member then asked if I was ! ready, to which I replied that I was. In this manner we entered the parlors. Horror of horrors! There were of benches and chairs at regular intervals, occupied by persons in the lowest condi tion of sccdiiiess. The ladies wore bon nets and high dresses, and the gentlemen wore overcoats. Most remarkable musi cal soiree this! The rooms were dimly lighted, and the whole affair wore a most dreary appearance. Solemnly up the center aisle I was marched at the head of a procession of the committeo (Crackles, being alarmed, had remained at the parlor door), up to a little platform at the upper end of the room, on which platform was a table, lie hind which were several chairs in a semi circular form, and on the table stood a pitcher of water and a tumbler. What in the name of common sense could be the meaning of this? There was not even a piano in the room. Queer musical j»arty, certainly! Mr. Bogey motioned me to sit down. Always desirous of avoiding dan ger to my triangle, I drew it from my pocket ami laid it on the table. Great ap plause followed this innocent action, placing a triangle on a table, but scarcely had I done so when everybody in the assembly roso and took a distant sur vey of the triangle. I then was required to mount the step of the little platform to get into a chair, when the whole meet ing broke out in a fit of the most enthusi astic applause. I trembled. Always innocent and confiding, I had suffered myself to # be led, in white kids and fine clothing, and with my hair carefully dressed, into the midst of a society of decidedly deranged persons. I rose to take a handkerchief from my picket. The crowd again applauded, and I hastily sat down again. “Our friends are giving you an enthu siastic welcome, sir,” said Mr. Bogey. “Yes,” said I, “thank you.” And, de voted as I am to art, the heroic idea seized me to save my triangle. I re moved it from the table, fresh applause following that movement, and I imme diately dropped the instrument, upon which I heard a droll little man, leaning over to speak to a young lady in spec tacles, whisper to her friend, “He will use that thing as an illustration; I have heard of his doing so. It is very inter esting.” My listening was, however, interrupted by a question from Mr. Bogey. “Have you your notes with you? or perhaps you do not use notes?” I answered that I could not very well perform music, and especially the triangle, without notes, an answer which seemed terribly to puzzlo Mr. Bogey; but that gentleman went on to say, consulting his watch, that it was late and was I ready to begin? or would I desire to take something before I began, and he pointed significantly to the pitcher on the table. I, thinking to gain time, if nothing else, said: “Thank you, I would like to have a glass of sherry.” A shudder ran through every member of the committee. “A what, sir?” in quired Mr. Bogey. “A glass of sherry,” I replied inno- I cently, “or claret, or brandy and water, ! whichever is nearest your hand.” Great consternation appeared to arise among the crowd at my very ordinary remark, which, I could perceive, was being re i pcated from bench to bench. “Brandy, sir, ” exclaimed Mr. Bogey. 1 i “Are you mocking us?” “Vv r cll,” said ■ I, “anything; lam not particular. You j asked me to take something to drink, and i I said wine or brandy, or a drop or two j of old Bourbon—anything of that kind j | will do.” Whereupon the lunatics began I to hiss mo, and one gentleman among the ! i crowd called out that the man (meaning 1 jue) was a fool. The people rose from their seats. The i utmost confusion prevailed. The noise became threatening. Mr. Bogey got up and, in a very severe tone and with a terrible frown, addressed me personally, saying: “Your conduct demands ex planation, Mr. Tod.” “Tod yourself,” said I, now positively angry. “Who is Tod? Here! Crackles! Where are you? What is all this about Tod?” “Can’t say,” answered Crackles, and, guided by his voice. I saw him at the other end of the room and heard him do > clare that they did not appear to have so j much as a “tod” in the whole establish ; raent. “Why, can’t you see, Do Cor dova, that this is a temperance meeting? We have evidently got into the wrong , house.” “Certainly,” exclaimed Mr. Bogey, ‘ ‘you were, or, at least, Professor Hiram Tod, of Mudham, Conn., was to address this meeting here to-night on the glorious subject of temperance and total abstinence.” “A temperance meeting!” cried I. “Certainly, sir,” replied Mr. Bogey. 1 “Now. who are you, if you please?” j “Never mind who I am,” I retorted, “I ; am not Tod.” “No! no!” exclaimed a tall, thin and solemn man who had just como into the room and strode straight up to the platform with the air of a man who j had a right to that place and took it. “I am,” said the man, “Professor Tod, of ; Mudham, Conn., and what I have gone ! through this night nobody would scarcely | believe.” Well, I need not say that neither Crackles nor I waited for any further explanation, but made our way to the street door with the utmost celerity, where I saw the Carhart mansion in a blaze of light, and, understanding now how matters stood, and that I had been undergoing torture through my having got into the wrong house, I crossed over the way, and Crackles and I spent the remainder of the evening with the intel lectual Carharts. It appears that the trials through which Crackles and I had passed were as noth ing in comparison with the martyrdom which that poor creature had undergone in tlie refined society of the Carharts, through his having mistaken the house by reason of Miss Henrietta’s humorous joke. Because nobody in that company knew him. everybody had assumed the privilege of staring at him. The serv ants. when they ushered him into the drawing room, sneered at him because he was not well dressed and had no white kid gloves on. Never having been in New York be fore, and living as he did in the no doubt classic shades of Mudham, in Connecti cut, ho regarded much of what ho saw, with reluctance, as proof of the eccentric manners of a strange people, whoso de generacy he deplored. Ho blushed when ho beheld young ladies who wore very low dresses and did not blush. Ilis color deepened when he saw elderly ladies, whose cheeks, which were pale by nature, hail lioon deeply colored by art; aud he trembled for his reason as ho saw languid young men dressed to distraction, with | their hair parted in the middle, lisp the ' most stupid and inane nonsense to young i women, who not only seemed satisfied to endure it, hut even appeared rather to ! like it. And this poor heathen, who had lived i all his life in Mudham, wished himself back there with all his heart, as he re -1 membered how plainly and simply tem perance meetings were conducted in his native village, with cups of tea, a hymn or two and an address by Professor Tod. And ho wondered what on earth all these musical preparations had to do with an earnest and soul stirring appeal not to drink wine or whisky. So there ho Fat in a corner, while Miss Henrietta per formed a fantasia on the piano, and ho wondemV what all that merciless banging of the keys was about und why the young lady exerted herself to that terrible ex tent, and when tlie tune was to bo begun, till his brain was bewildered. So when Miss Henrietta haul finished and every body had applauded the piano perform- ance, he thought that now the cry to which ho was so well accustomed at Mud ham would immediately resound, and that the people would with one voice de mand, “Tod! Tod!” And still wonder ing where he was to stand and 6peak, he began olearing his throat and settling his cravat, as some public speakers have the habit of doing. Instead of calling for Tod, they, on the contrary, fell into groups with their backs turned to Toil, and disposed them selves to listen to a quartet, which Tod thought was by long odds the greatest private riot he had ever listened to. And amid the din of the music Tod heard Miss Henrietta say: “Oh, why is not Mr. Cordova here? The music only wants his triangle to bo perfect.” “Perfect?” said Tod to himself. “How can all this nonsense advance the sacred cause of temperance?” But imagine the feelings of Professor Tod when that piece of music had been finished* Fancy, if you can, the horror of that good man when servants entered the room in a sort of procession, bearing ice cream, cake baskets, etc., laden with delicacies, while another bore a waiter upon which were decanters containing wines and all such sinful beverages. Thunderstricken by a sight so melan choly, the professor bore it all in silence until the servants stopped before him— him! the great apostle of total abstinence —with the water of liquid damnation, and a lady inquiring of him, in a 6oft, insidious voice, if ho preferred claret, champagne or liquor. Had he, then, been invited to New York only to bo ridiculed and insulted? Ho rose, and, thrusting his hands into his waistcoat— his favorite attitude in his public ad dresses—he shouted rather than 6aid: “Look not upon the cup when it is red.” “Dear me!” said the lady, while every body began to gather round the profeasor, “you need not have red wine if you don’t like it. Try Chablis or champagne.” “Avaunt!” said Tod, “I touch not tho accursed thing. Ladies, why was I brought hither to perform my little part in the great movement now going for ward, if I were not wanted.” “Oh!” cried a lady, “this must be Mr. t Cordova all tho while, and nobody lias asked him to play.” Upon which ono gentleman looked up into Tod’s face and propounded this timely and sensible in quiry: “Haven’t you brought your triangle, ' sir?” “Oh! insult mo, ladies. Shamo on you! Is it a Christian act to bring mo ; from my happy Mudham home, to find myself useless and contemned?” “My goodness, my dear sir,” said : another, “wc all want to hear you if you will have the kindness to begin.” “I am quite ready, sir,” said Mr. Tod, to which another exclaimed: “All right, sir, wo desire no better; where is your triangle?’ ’ “Shame on you,” cried Professor Tod, addressing Mr. Carhart. “Are you tho master of this house?” “Why, of course I am,” said Mr. Car hart in amazement, and evidently regard : ing me, represented as I was by Mr. Tod, as an outrageous maniac. “Why, of course I am.” “Well, then,” exclaimed Tod, drawing himself up, “then let me tell you, Mr. Bogey” “He is mad,” shouted Mr. Carhart. “Mr. Bogey lives over the way. We do not even visit, and I do uot know him at all. Are you Mr. Cordova, the great amateur performer on the triangle, or who tho devil are you?” “Triangle again?” cried Tod. “Sir, I am Professor Tod, of Mudham, of whom you have no doubt read (if you take The Mudham Register or The Chickenborough Palladium) as a temperance lecturer of some little fame, I believe, and I received an invitation from you, or rather, as it : appears, from Mr. Bogey.” “Oh! I will take the good gentleman over tlie way,” said Mr. Carhart. and he did so; and Tod slept at Mr. Bogey’s that night, vowing that never again would he be tempted to visit what ho called “that sink of iniquity,” New York. —lt.

He wants the company to keep people who send boys out advised of their progress. For instance, they might have blanks ready to fill up and send them to the expectant customer, say, every fifteen minutes. “By telegraphic advices from corner of Kearney and Market the boy is buy ing a story paper, and will at once pro ceed on his way with your message.” Fifteen minutes later: “Corner Du pont and Geary. Your messenger has reached hero safely, and is waiting for a car to pass.” Fifteen minutes later: “Union square. Your messenger has already reached fif teenth chapter of his story. Ho has only twenty-two more to finish.” “Your messenger lias reached Mason and Geary, and will proceed as soon as he has smoked his cigarette.” “Your messenger has reached his desti nation. Will bo back to-morrow.”—San Francisco Chronicle. A Curious Indian Horn. There is among the musical instru ments in tho National museum one which the visitor invariably pronounces a horn, and yet it is never blown. It is tho ' nyas taranga of India. The small end is placed against tho throat of the jier foriner so that it rests u|>on tho vocal cords. Then as the performer draws a breath ho produces upon tho nyas taranga a clear rood like note. This curious instrument can be placed against the cheeks or the nostrils and airs can bo rendered. Tho Hindoo musicians aro proficient in the use of tho upanga, as it was called in ancient times, but no where qfse in the world is it played.— Washington Cor. Globe-Democrat. Tho Finest Thread.
