CONFUSION OP KING ALCOHOL.
Come, Alcohol, now answer me
The question t shall put to thee :
What is thy age. what is thy aim ?
What is thy trade, what is thy name ?
My age it is a thousand years,
My aim to fill tho world with tears,
My- trade to kill and make expense.
My name it is Intemperance.
Loni,' bsvc I ruled rtpon the earth,
To evnt-y crime I've given birtb ;
I'm father to all grief and woe,
1 spread distress whgrc e'er I go.
I My dwel'inp place is at the bar.
M y customers are near and tar ;
I fiti teeir h.'a.ls and drain their purse,
I turn their blessings lo a curse.
I I i -yi. i lO'l' iuf tw b^'.ath,
. .... A—
My ladgi.iß plitei: is Satan'j :.e»t,
My food Is illili and serpent's meat.
My face is covred with R mesk,
My abiding place is in tl:e iwk ;
My busines.") is to gender strife
And pntnaunder man and wife.
I visit grog-shops all around,
Where Satan is I'm always louod ;
I am his waiter day and "night:
His service is my chief delight.
He is my captain and my guide,
I always stand close by his side.
I've killed more men, upon my word
Than famine, pestilence, or aword.
With mj decuilful, flaUeriug tongue
I draw to me both old and yot'.ng,
And when I get them in my snare :
I chain them fast, and keep them there.
But temperance men T mostly dread,
For they nra ruining ruy tra'h,,
And if their course should further go,
1 fear 'twould prove my overthrow.
Thus Alcohol dknlosed me
His character and destiny ;
Although a liar from his youth,
He once lias blundered Into truth.
Then, temperance men, be wide awake ;
The foe begins to fear and quake.
Stand to your poet; go baud in hand
And drive the mouster from the laud.
A TEMUBLE DISEASE.—Of the di»-
eases incident to humanity none is more
appalling than glaodfirs. A dreadful
ease appeared iu London recontlj. A
physician reported that be saw the
young girl in the hospital. A portion
of her head was eaten away and tbo
bone exposed to view in two p'.uocs.
The magistrate who examined the ease
said be knew an engineer who dimlt'roto
glanders in consequence of tho horse at
tached to a cab in which he was con
veyed throwing off some matter which
fell upon him. Twenty years ago a lady
of bigh rauuk in Paris was caressing
her beautiful carriage horses She had
a tiny wound in her hand, and a little
glandered matter from the horse's nos
trils got upon it She died in dreadful
convulsions. It is much better to put a
piece of plaster near the broken skiuj
however small.
Tho people of Tennessee have voted
not to repudiate their debt, but steps
have yet to be taken with a view to pay
it. Tbe debt of Tennessee, unlike tbe
debts of some other Southern States,
was mostly contracted before the war,
and the bonds represent money honestly
paid. Of the debt of 824,000,000,
ovor 810,000 000 was created by tbe
issue and sale of bonds to obtuin money
for State banking, to build a new State
House, to establish agricultural schools,
and for other purposes, and 88,500,000
moro was incurred in building railroads |
—all before the war. In regard to ti:e \
§5,000,000 created since the war there :
is no allegation of irregularity or dis- !
honesty, and there seems to be no reason j
why the debt should not be paid.
A NEW DISCIPLE —We arc informed |
that a man has made his appearance in J
the upper part of this county, sayiug j
that lie iB a Disciple of Christ and claims
to be preaching the Gosjtul as it was
handed dowu by Christ to the Apostles.
He is oroating no little excitement
among the prfople and a number of per
sons have already endorsed tho doctrine
he teaches. He retuscs to tell who he \
is or where ho is from. He laughs at i
all ministers and says that all ehuroh
organizations are contrary to the tench- ,
ings of the Bible lie seems to bo a!
strange man, Irom a strange ootiniry,
and among a strange peoplo — Shelby
Aurora.
The Prncsiatt government appears de
termined to make suro that the army
shall not, like the French soldiery, be
permeated by tho leaven of douiocratie
ideas Tbe troops stationed in Berlin
have been forbidden to read the Liberal
newspapers, and their qnartors are to bo
searched at regular times for the prohib
ited journals and for other objeotionable
publications. Severe punishment is
promißsd those with whom such articles
are fonnd.
An officer in tbe AniUrian army lately 1
snutched a soldier's cravat off and j
knocked bis eye out with tho buckle '

! North Carolina Tratio Important
i It is (juito natural for men to tu!.-
j care of thomselves. Self-preservation t -
! the first law. It is equally natural l»;
communities to look aTter their owu in
! t'jtcsts. We are reminded of the:
thiugs by the fretjvieut allusions to North
I Carolina in our Virginia exchange;
I "\Vc aro FO closely allied to that St ate
j (N. C.), and so intimately contscu'u.
with its peep!?, that anything vihict

! practically eve.y day becoming inure de
! pendent on each other.
| "Tho ample channels of trade to Nor
i folk mfues hot spacious harbor the maid

| This is what tho Norfolk Virginian
| saye. Not long sotno similar uttor
i ancos might hire been found In eop.o
j ono or two of our South Carolina ex
! changes. Now, we d-j trot complain at
&uch expressions of opinion. They arc
altogether natural. North Carolina lies
betwcon the two States that have souin.
( times afTected to he better thau their sis- j
| ter States. We can remember the iinie j
when Virginians tud South Carolinians |
I turned up thoir noses r>t a State whose !
j reoord was uastaiacil with dishonor, an l ]
I v/hosr soldiers h:rd illustrated the ccnrage '
! of our p»nplo in thrc« wars end from |
i Stooy Point to Mexico. Bat wc have I
I heard lens ol thi" tort of uflected FU;IC- I
I riority latlarly. Tbo war between the j
| States afforded many lessons in many de- I
; partmcnts. A State that voted but i
| 112.500, and thai supplied the Confed. I
j eraoy with 124,000 taen, as good and j
i brave and faithful as say that entered j
; the war, Wade Hampton and Hood and
j D. H. Bill and A. P. Hill,- and a dozen :
| Generals from other States being |
, witnesses, fought its way into a politic
to demand recognition.
But how groat anil important North |
Carolina becomes when the question of j
trade and commerce is uppermost. Howl
closely united are the people of our old :
State with tho commercial centres of;
other States, and how much reflex pros- [
perity and influence are left. North
Carolina is by no means ati unimportant
State now. She is rich in many respects. '
Her trade in very much to be sought af
ter. Her cotton, tobacco, naval stores,
cereals, fish, minerals, woods, frui's, kc .
are enough to render rich sud flourishing
any cities tliHt osn be so fortunate as to :
oaptare them.
It does not occur tosorno North Caro
linia:is that I hey owe a first duty to thuii
own State before essaying to build ur>
other and foreign communities. The
"North Carolina policy," us far as it crtn
be discerned, is much better calculated
to make our people tho factors iu devel
oping cities boyond our borders than i;i
fostering home localities or Stute inter.
: eats. We know that this 13 denied, but
jwe can see it in no other light. Wa
think most North Carolinianssro wanting
|in u proper State prida. Some of onr j
j people appear lo bo happy when they |
! can blow the horns of Richmond at!.!

I Petersburg acd Norfolk and Charleston.
| If our people show iiiferiorily in Buy ret:- j
j prct to our neighbois it is in their will I
I iogoens to be hookod on to foreign cities '
: and to have it known that North Caro- I
| lioa has a market, not at homo, bat iu '
j other Statos. Virginians and South (Jar- 1
I oliuians do not so aot, wo believe. One j
| North Carolina pajper has rocontly ex- |
; pressed its owu opinion in clear terms 1
I that cannot ho misapprehended. Tho J
Bakcrsville Rqmblican says :
"The first gianJ object aud desire of |
every good eitizeu of the State is, orougl.'- j
to be, to advance her material interests, j
In one sense the answer is easy enough- !
Incroaso tho products of tbe country and '
find a market for thoso products. But .
then the question arises, what shall those I
products consist of, and where shall wo |
find tho market 1 The fi.st step in this !
direotion would be to deal directly with
the consumer through our own seaports,
and if possible by means of our own
ships, At present every one knows that
| the products of tho Slate arc carried to
! tho consumer through ot.hcr ports than !
I our own, giving to other towns the benefits j
, of our productions
j "To remedy this tho Sute should us ist !

Quinine.
The abolition of duty on quinine, by 1
the last Congress, is a matter of general 1
interest to the pooplo of the United
States, for they use from 1,000,000 to i
1,200,000 ounces every year, as a febri- ;
1 ! uge. Peruvian bark, from which qui- j
nine is made, has all along been admit
ted tree, and the manu'seturo of tho 1
h.'S been in the hands of a Philu- !
delphia nton 'poly, or rather, two monep- 1
olies, who have grown immensely rich '
by it. There is a duty of twenty per
nt on the foreign article, which yir- |
'iially excluded it from competition with
these two P iladolphia firms, leaving
them a clear field, whioh they hevo oc- j
eupied to their advantage. J. S Moore,
of Now York city, a man who has been
active in ecooriug the abolition of tho
tariff, says that tho foreign article can
be laid down in New York st $3 per
oeftcc, free of duty. The price of tbe |
American article is $3 40. With the
duty added, the foreign article becomes
worth 83 60 This extra forty cents, it
is said, gave 'he two Philadelphia firms j
an extra profit—over what they would
have made in cainpofition—oi more i
than 8500,000 a year, which the sick, iu j
malarious districts principally, had to :
pay. Now that protection of the monop
oly is removed, competition will materi

, j An Income Tax.
j At the lute session of Congress the
I sentiment of the Democratic party ap.
' peared to be strongly in favor of the
| imposition of a moderate income tax.
and a corresponding abatement of other
i t'jxos which bear heavily on classes
j poorly ablo to pay them Wo regret
I that »bo party did not put irseli more
j distinctly on reoord au the supporter of
• ■ u liiti-.no i x. end hope that iuil viil
be done v,-hen Congress meets again
| next winter.
It is unfortunately tbe fact that many
| hundred of millions of property in this
| country ia left entirely untaxed, and
| that it belongs to classes best able to
pay taxes, whilethose less able to pay
| are severely taxed by both our internal
; rcvenuo and custom systems. There is
' nothing to prevent this now exempted 1
| class from being reached by an income
; tax, and wc trust that' the Democratic
1 party will reach them in this way.
Many reasons in favor of the justice j
! and policy of an iucome tax at this time
might be adduced. We are glad to find
■ so influential and widely circulated a
paper as the New York Herald taking
| the proper ground an this question. Tire |
; Hrnhl says that an income tax Is sitß
| ply the most effective, most direct, most. I
! just, roost equitable and most Democrat ic j
| means of raising a great revenue ever !
| applied in this conotiy. It docs not tax j
| existence, does not tax labor, does not j
j tax the necessaries of life, and docs not I
I impose upon any individual a burden j
that it is impossible or even difficult to :
bear It raises money "where money i.i " i
It spares the poor man and makes the i
| riuh man pay. If you want soldiers, go '
(0 the people; if you want money, go to j
: the millionaires. That is sound reuse j
ou two great points cf public policy-' '
and the financial half of that rule is by i
I
the income tax It goes to. the filled :
millionaires, it is a tax under which
no millionaire can return himself as a
1 pauper without perjury and without ex
; posing himself to the scandal and sliauia
! of a suit, for recovery of unpaid taxes
i Snob a tax as that, rightly understood j
' by the Democrats all over the country, j
| would hardly bo odious in their eyes.
1 AJ to the cry that every law we do not. j
like is unconstitutional, these are the j
words of John Marshall : "Let tho end
1 be legitimate ; let it. be within the scope 1
of the constitution, and all mcaus which 1
| are appropriate, which aro plainly adap- i
' ted to the end, whioh are not prohitod,
but consistent with the letter and spirit
of the constitution are constitutional."
