We were on two tobacco markets last
week whero we saw tobacco sell from
two dollan down to twenty-five ocut«
per hundred ponds, and farmers buying
corn at 7.0 cents per buabel. bay at
SI.OO per hundred, and bacon at 10 ct.s
for sides, and 13 to 1"> cents per pound
for barns. Farmers of Stokes w!ut un
der the suu are you thinking of, making
such stuff with which to buy what you
can make at liomc ! It would Itake some
600 lbs of this tobaoeo to pay for one
bushel of corn at V 0 cents, when if you
bad put the same amount of labor on
com, it would have nude 100 bushels,
which at 70 cts per bushel, would have
brought you at your orib door 70 dollars,
in place of 70 cents, aud you would
have had the fodder aud shucks to pay
fur cribbiug'. Thou tobacco ut SI.OO
per hundred and hay at SI.OO pur hun
dred, the labor required to maka that
100 lbs of tobacco at Si.oo per bun
dled, would have made "i,OOO pounds of
hay.
We hear tt said every day that it l
cheaper to buy pork tbau to rai.; it ;
not so, if you have to pay for it with
tobacco at from thice to eight dollars
per hundred. Thenagaiu if the huuliug
is taken into account it is cheaper to
raise your pork at home than to grow
tobacco at even ton or twelve dollars
per hundred with which to buy it. Now
we would give you this advice, which
however you are not obliged to take
you know what you liav-L doua aud can
do, aud if you do uot feol quite sure
that you cau grow tine tobaeco, do not
stick a plant. If you are confident that
you can make it fine plant only as uiucb
as you can handle well, aud by no means
neglect to make what you require to live
on. Wcknow it is said that last year
was a bad crop year, hence the low prioe
of tobacco. That may havo had some
thing to do with it, but if you look at
tbe sales for eight or ten years past you
will sec that much tobaeco was sold at
prices lowor than the cost of produc
tion.
The day tor coomuion tobacco bis
passjd in this part of North Caroli:i i,
where we cau grow so niauy other things.
THE I'EN IT K.N T1 Mi Y.
Some of the State papers are advo
cating the salo of tbe penitentiary, but
it soems to us that the best reason these
papers have for abolishing this institu
tiou is on account of its mismanagement,
for the system in some form exists the
civilized earth over. The Wilmington
Star has a column leader on tho subject
in which it says .-
'•There is something wrong surely in
the management of the State Peniten
tiary. If not, why tho frequent efforts
to escape, and some times with success,
und the insubordination of tho rasculs '
Tho kid-glove treatment will n.it tiu
swer. 'J'he Raleigh Chronicle's sug
gestion is not a bad ono—to sell out.
The '•Pen" is a Northern importation,
brought in with the other pests and de
structives—the remorseless carpet- bait
gors North Carolina never liked the
"institution" aud never will. It is no
punishment to a great "hawbuck" thief
and scoundrel to coti&ue him at night,
giving him good quarters aud plenty of
appetizing "grub" with a dno allowance
of tobacco, He must work and way,
and this he does after a fashiou when
a conviot. The "Petr' has already
cost the State millions. It will if row,
for criminals are increasing in uumbor,
it crime is lessening, as is claimed by
some of the Judges."
Wc think Judge Connor among oth
ers is of the opiriion that tbe nuubcr
of smaller crimes is diminishing: v
change, if it bo, so that wc have accoun
ted for by the fact that it is easier to
convict parties if accused of the smillci
crimes than it is to meat the demand:
of justioe against these accused of bighci
offences. We agree with tho Star wher
it says :
"We really think that it would b:
a propper aud economic step to olos
tne penitentiary and return either to th
whipping-post for stealing or devist
some more deterring punishment for tb
amallor crimes."
But it would be of no use to attemp
to reason that a penitentiary organizec
on the system of solitary con&uemen
like thai maintained in Pennsylvanii
would afford no punishment to "a grea
'hawbuck' thiel aud scoundrel.''
Last Tuesday was tbe sixty-eight an-:
niversary of the birth of Quocu Victoria :
Ii is now fifteen years sineo wo saw Mcr '
Majesty a lady of medium height, tu-
, elined to he stout, and of a docideilly |
ruddy complexion. Iler Majjsty was;
J poaicd iu tha coach of state, a lumbering I
t'lough elaborately finished vehicle
drawn by six splendid ereaut colored
! horses each of which was mounted by a
postilion.
Enquiries frequently arise among our
people as to the value of trade dollars
as a circulating medium. For all pur
; poses of business a trade dollar is as
valuable us tho standard dollar, and
banks will receive them as well as bus
iness men, but banks and other financial
institutions will send them to the Treas
ury Department for redemption, and not
pay them out. Tho trade dollar wit!
continue to bo tho legal representative
of a standard dollar until tho 14th day
of September next, after which dato it
will be only so much silver bullion with
a little over SO cents. In short tho
trade dollar will command its face value
in all tho channels of trade until Sep
embei- 4th
It would be well for farmers and
those having vegetable gardens to go
ovor their potatoe patches aud collect
aud kill tho Colorado potatoe beetles
| before they increase and multiply.
The most approved and effective method
■ says out Philadelphia correspondent G.
Morgan EUridge, Esq., iu his couimu
-1 nieation published in tho lIuroRTKR
' last j ear, "is to go over the potatoes
! and pick off by hand, first the bugs,
> next the eggs which lie in yellow musses
' on the underside of the leaf, and then
4 tha worms. The work should be thor
» oughly done on the bugs, eggs, nnd
J worms, very soon and all at the same
- time, for unless this is done from day to
' day before long there will be nothing
C frotu which to pick them."
t It issuid that" Ills Gieatueus" Prince
Frederick Leopold, of Prussia, who
i passed through Chicago the other day
s on a special car, created a stir among
railroad men by refusing to adm.t a
e biakeuiau into tho car, compelling him
r to rida on the rear platform for several
huudred miles iu a cold wind and rain.
0 Had the brakeman jammed his thumbs
- into that Prince's eyes till he saw ten
t thousand stars dancing before bis vision,
it might have beau a valuable lesson t?
1 bis"i rinoiwhip."—Mt. Airy .Veu-J.
t Prince Frederick Leopold is a meiu
!— ber of the imperial family of feudal
Germany. His Highness Jnot "Ills
Greatuesfc" as the .Vm's bus it) had cn
... gaged'he special car for bis private
t. use aud it seems to us it was purely a
matter pertaining to tho pleasure of his
feelings whether ho Bhuuld exclude a
sorvaut of the railroad from his car
which was clearly his castle for the time.
" This brakesmau might have proved an
le astassiu iu disguise, a Chicago anarch
-1 is!.
e About a month ago we editorially
n referred to the fact that Lancaster City,
it I'enn., bad 80 tobacco factories, aud
that it was the eouuty seat of tbe rich
est county in the United States, which
- raises vast amounts of tho best tobacco,
* twice as much we believe as tuy other
' county in tho United Statos. It does
uot, however, neglect general farming
i. for it alio ruises yast quantities of corn,
'i oats, wbeaf, and about 60,000 cows
. make groi" qu mtitios of milk, and fur
's L-ish material for great quantities of
'J butter and cheese. This writer having
been a frequeutor of that couuty writes
,f somewhat from his own observatian.
e The Baltimore American has quite re
' ceatly alluded to the same subject and
" says:
"Tbe richest county iu tho Union is
r ' that of Lancaster, in Pennsylvania.
! One man nettod S3OO per acre on his
tobacco crop last yerr. Ileal estate in
such a sectiou is worth owniug."
The Wilmington Star comments on
1 the above extract from the Baltimore
a | American and says,
j. i "That has been beaten fifty times in
! North Carolina. Tbe Jlmeric.an is here
0 i informed thai there arc North Carolina
;r j tobacco growers who liavo made as much
l s as sfiUo to an acre, any many have av
eraged $(00. If it doubts let it send a
or correspondent to Oxfoid and Henderson
!n and it will find it all truo."
Our peerless State contemporary has
overlooked a most importnnt point in
,s instituting a comparison between the
J(J not profit on an acre of tobacco grown
so in Lancaster county last year, and iu
le sttnecs where "That has been beaten
fifty times in North Carolina," by nol
pt giving instances of tbe best yield of at
; d acre of tobacco grown in Oxford tu
Qt Henderson county la.ityeer. The com
. ! parlsou should be drawn from instsuee:

at j year during the depressed oondition 01

A FATAL MISTAKES J
Tin: Cleveland (Ohio) Press J
of February 23.1, IGSH, pubM
lished i.n account of a fataM i
Burgicai operation which cauyecl I
a great commotion among met*
ical men ihmirrhout tho whol J
country, Dr. Thayer, the moil j
eminent eurgeon in Cleveland I
pronouncing it scandalous. It j
appears that A Mn King hid
been suffering for many yclre |
from some disease of the sum- j
w:h, •\vhicJi had resisted/the
treatment pf all the plnjfeiaiu
iu 'lii^jaM
eofwncrics|rw!tu a Alight de
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a pecidiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that hr.3 bceu described as a
faint ''all /gone" sensation, a
sticky slinio collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. Tim rensatiou was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a v.Lilo the hands and
feet became coid and sticky—
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and lau
ruid feelin Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings Finally
tho patient was unable to re
tain any food whatever, and
there was co"?'.ant pain in the
abdomen. All pi\ seiil>ed rem
edies failirg to jive relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
■ had a caixi r i:i t)ie stomach,
l ivid in o:v. rto save the patient's
i life an operation M:U juatifi
: r.ble. Act oi\!'iv r '!y, on the 22d
of February, 1 tho opera
tion was performed by Dr.
Vaaco in tho presence of Dr.
Tuckenuan, Dr. Fenier, Dr.
Anus Dr. Gordon, Dr.Capner,
and Dr. Ilallivrell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ad in lavingtopen the cavity
of the abdeiuiffl and exposing
the stomach r.iu! boweli When
this had been done an exaniin-
I ation of li.e organa was made,
I but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too lute the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed tho wound that they
had made, but tho poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the cuects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper rt.aedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this waa what the disease really
was), f-ho would have been liv
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
ROOTS, or Stidsn's (JIT.ATIVE
S VHUP, a remedy mada ex
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perf rt health alter all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. Tho evidence of its
efficacy in curing thi3 class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dysjH'ptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and tho article baa an
