One cause for so many old maids is due to the girls themselves, says the New England House "Wife. What young man of the middle class cares to marry a irl who would let hor father wear a coat with buttons oil and linen collar that is torn and raffed? Such a girl doesnt deserve a husband, and she will be likely to join, the grand army of old maids. If there be anything on earth the young men fight shy of, it is a slo venly girl. The father or the broth er is the evidence, and when you see them walking to their work with their clothes torn and looking like men who had to put up with a slack wife, mother or grown up daughter and sister, you need look for noth ing better if you marry into that family. You know a lazy girl or two of this kind, don't you? Think of those you can single out, two or three girls this article will hit. If so, for their own sake send this to them. Let them do a little plain sewing, and promise that hereafter their father or brothers will not walk the streets ragged and battered, a disgrace to them and an indication that they are too lazy to be the wife of any good young man who has to work for a living to make a home, and needs a loving, industrious helpmate to share the joys and burdens of life with him. What Is Wealth I Does wealth consist in money, houses, lands, bank stocks, railroad bonds, etc., alone? "We think not. The young man starting in life with no money but with good digestion, good sleep, good health, and with ability to work in some profitable employment, has what the aged cap italist would be glad to exchange all nis miliums tor. w hat compensa tion is money for sleepless nights and painful days or the misconduct of dissipated children? Which brings the greater happi ness the glitter, show, jealousies and falsity of fashionable life, or the heartfelt friendships which prevail so largely in the homes of the indus trious poor? In how many of the palaces of our millionaires will you find greater happiness in the parlor than in the kitchen? How many millionaires will tell you that they are happier now than when starting in life without a dollar? On the tops of mountains we find rock, and ice, and snow. It is down in the valleys that we find the vine yards. Let no man envy those rich er than himself until taking all things into account age, health, wife, children, friends he is sure he would be willing to exchange. Tough On the Physician. The Greensboro Record has an amusing story of a negro man who was tried at the last term of Rock ingham criminal court for stealing a shirt from a prominent physician of Reidsville. The case was pretty plain and it looked as if the defend ant was about to get in for it, so he went on the witness stand in his own behalf. He stated that he did have the doctor's shirt on his back on the Sunday specified, but that he did not steal it only borrowed it. "Why," said he, "when I lived in Greensboro I worked for a doctor there, and every Saturday night I took his shirt and wore it on Sun day and on Monday I put it out to wasn, ana tie never Kickea up no fuss about it. I didn't think my new bos-s would care about such a thing. He was acquitted, but before he came from the witness-box Colonel Morehead whispered to the Solicitor to ask him what doctor in Greens boro he referred to and he answered promptly, but the Record would not give its townsman's name.

I had the honor of chaperoning ten women to the island yesterday and they were all lovely. I thought that I knew them all and I did until they came out of the undressing house transformed and transmogrified into water nymphs, and then I dident know anybod', not even my own lifelong wife, f stood off at a re spectful distance and ruminated. As they toyed and struggled with suc cessive waves and screamed and shouted with hilarious glee even the older ones renewed their youth like the eagles and bid defiance to roll ing years and rolling billows. Sun- denly the dream of my youth came over me and I wandered away down beyond the curve of the beach aud" all alone in mv primeval srlorv I laved and bathed in the green wa ters of the gulf of Mexico. It car ried me back to the rude and crude frolics of my boyhood when the springboard and the mill pond were my delight. Half a century has passed since I saw that mill pond, but it is there yet, and the water is still falling over the dam and sing ing the same old song 'Men mav come ami men may go. But I go ou forever." The sea, the gulf, the lakes and rivers aud brooks are the only living moving things in all nature that suf fer no change from the iron hand of time. Such as they were at crea tion's dawn the' are now. Hut I am not as brave as I used to be, and so I kept within easy reach of a long, projecting root that reached out some twenty feet in the water, and rose and fell with the waves. I was afraid of the undertow and grabbed the friendly root as oft as the break ers came. Oil, it was glorious. But all pleasures must have an end and in due time the ten and I were in vested in those usual garments of which we had been divested, and af- ter picking up a few shells departed : these coasts homeward bound. The !.: - ht 41... r .ouu-Tug v'o, iiic vvvti!i, ana uo leu vuiit rsanie, anu "Who Killed Cock Robin," and other watery choruses, when suddenly a a hat with gay ribbons flying took a notion to sail awa" into the vessel s wake, and we thought it was gone for good, but the pleasant Swedish boatman smiled and said: "I find ! heem again," and so he had to round j to and starboard and larboard and . ship ahoy and do other nautical j things to get it. It was a happy af-' ternoon and the five little children ' were the happiest of the lot. j Mothers come here (Clear Water) ' for frail and sickly children men j come for their wives and wives for j their husbands. Every family has an invalid. 1 saw a sweet little girl of three years asleep upon a shawl that was spread upon the sandy j beach. She came sick and pale and ! with a consumptive cough, but I be- lieve will get well. I saw a young j lad' who has nearly lost her hearing ! from long-continued grip, and she is improving every day and is as merry as a lark. I met a man from Cin cinnati to-day and he comes to spend another winter because his asthma I was so relieved while here last win- J ter. The winter residents have all j returned and brought more with ; them. People are getting more and more like the birds, wild ducks and geese and mocking birds and robins and wild pigeons all migrate to es cape the rigors of a winter climate and why should not mankind, espe cially those who are alllk-ted with some disease that six months of win ter aggravates? What is wanted bv the public are cheaper rates for win ter tourists. The railroads ought to give round trip rates for nearly one fare and they would make money by it. The tourist ought to have as much favor as the excursionist. The little town is looking up. There are two good schools with competent teachers. More boats have been built for pleasure, and some of the wealthy residents own naphtha launches. The rent of a good oar-boat is about $4 a month, but this is generally shared by at least four persons. A Chinese laun dry has just been opened. Negroes are scarce and they charge high for their labor. The white country peo ple are very friendly and kind. They bring milk and eggs and chickens and fish and oysters and peas and beans and cucumbers and tomato ' and other vegetables to your door every day. Winter gardens take the place of summer gardens in Georgia, and it will not be long be-! fore the market will be supplied with strawberries. So many persons write to know what they can get to do nere while seeking health and paying board. Nothing that I know of unless they improvise something. A geuius might work up something, but the town is too small to encour age artisans or professors. A book agent would perish. A minstrel show would hardly pay expenses. A blind tiger couldn't earn the water he puts in his whisky. The place is a winter residence and a sanitarium that is all. Everything here is strange, very strange, to those who have never been in the tropics. Bill Ari A Fatal Railroad Accident. Charlotte Observer. A terrible collision occurred be tween two freight trains on the Car olina Central railroad "Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, three miles this side of Rockingham, whereby Engi neer Alexander Wells lost his life and Engineer ( I. L. Watson was fa tally injured. Engineer Wells was on the east-bound freight; Engineer Watson on an extra going west. The latter, instead of waiting at Roekingham for the regular train, which had the right-of-way, pulled out, it is supposed forgetting that the regular was almost due. There is a sharp curve in the track, three miles from Rockingham, and at this point the two men met their doom. Each saw the other's headlight as he rounded the curve, too late to avert the horrible catastrophe. The firemen jumped, thereby sav ing their lives. The two engines telescoped to the cylinder heads, and the tender of one was driven through a box car. Engineer Wells jumped but was so hurt in jumping that he was unable to move, and was scald ed to death by bursting pipes. The engines and nine cars were com pletely demolished. It took two en gines yesterday to pull the collided engines apart. Engineer Wells was from Lauriuburg, and Engineer Watson from Raleigh. The remains of the dead engineer were taken j-es-terday to his home. Engineer Wat son was carried to Rockingham. He was not expected to live through last night. His skull was fract ured, his leg hurt, and he was in jured internally. Engineer Wells had been with the road 10 years. He was at all times faithful and was highly esteemed on the road. L.vrmt Watson died Friday night. His remains were taken to Raleigh for interment. Their Marriage a Business Transaction. A wedding combining romance and business occurred at Mors'un- Uny w Va., Mondav, at which E hr.l5lu Walters, of Uniontown, 4 ;ra., aged S2 years, and Mrs. Man- year j Madera, aged (I!) years, of Morgan- town, were married. The affair was : more like the completion of a busi , ness transaction than a wedding. ! Walters' third wife died about two I years ago: at that time the old man I was very feeble and had to walk with a cane. lie had then had a stroke of paralysis and was badly j crippled. His friends thought he would soon follow his wife. To their surprise he became very sprightly and soon threw away his cane. Not more than six months elapsed until he began to talk of matrimony again. His children discouraged the idea as much as possible, but he was deter mined to get married. After look ing about and finding no one to suit him, he placed an advertisement in the papers, offering to any one who would find him a respectable wife. He also offered t?r,OUU to any woman who would agree to marry him. Mrs. Madera heard of the offer ' and a correspondence was arranged i between them. She agreed to niar- I ry him for a certain sum of money, j made payable to her at the time of the marriage. A satisfactory ar rangement was made and the wed ! ding day set. Mr. W alters came to Morgan town Monday morning, and after placing himself in the hands of a barber for an hour, met his bride, then got a marriage license and signed the written agreement, which makes her the possessor of $.",000. The groom is very wealth', and the bride has kept a millinery store in Morgantown for a number of years. Two Narrow Escapes from Death. Eexiiifrton Dispatch. P. W. Beck, head miller in J. A. Kennedy's Mill, on Monday, while trying to put a belt on while the ma chinery was in motion, was caught by a revolving shaft that whirled him around in a space 18 by 28 inches, at a speed of 120 revolutions per minute. Jt tore ail of his clothes off him, and threw him out with only a part of his hide; but all of his bones. John T. Koonts, fireman at Mich ael Mills, happened to a painful ac cident last Tuesday. He was under the mill soaping the drum on the line shaft, to keep the belt from slip ping, when his arm was caught un der the belt, throwing him over the shaft and striking his head against , tho siarp euv0Of a s;iion the ground j cutting a frightful gash in his fore- head. There was a hook to hang the belt on when not in use, which caught in his mouth tearing it very badly. His body and limbs were also bruised. Fortunately no bones were broken.

When the Democratic senatorial caucus adjourned this afternoon at 5 o'clock those who had been endeav oring to get some action that would make it possible to pass the so-called pop-gun tariff bills and strike the differential duty of one-eighth of a cent a pound on refined sugars from the sugar schedule, gave up all hope. No organized effort will be made to push these bills, nor will there be any cloture rule offered in the Sen ate with the endorsement of the Democratic caucus. This much was determined by the refusal of the cau cus to act affirmatively propo sitions which had in .view both clo ture and the passage of the pop gun bills. After a long discussion the caucus did, however, -agree upon certain measures of proposed legis lation to be presented for the con sideration of the Senate and pushed to completion if possible. These subjects are as follows: A bankruptcy bill; a bill for the construction of the Nicaragua ca nal; bills for the admission of the Territories of Arizona and New Mex ico, and the consideration of the House joint resolution providing for the election of United States Sena tors by the people. Also such other measures, including appropriation bills, as the "steering committee" may deem important. This com mittee was instructed to report to the caucus the order in which these subjects of legislation shall be con sidered. While the committee has not discussed the matter fully, it is known that the bankruptcy bill will be selected as the first measure to be taken up in the Senate, it having already passed the House and been reported to the Senate with several amendments; and after a full dis cussion of the subject of cloture this afternoon it was seen that the senti ment of the majority was against it and Mr. Daniel withdrew the reso lution he had offered, and for the time being, at least, there will be an end to the discussion along that line. So far as the supplemental tariff bills are concerned, it was admitted that they could not be passed, for the Republicans during a short ses sion could easily talk any measure to death. These bills do not appear in the list of subjects agreed to. This conclusion was reached at the session of the caucus Tuesday and they were not referred to to-day. The recommendations of the Presi- uent aim secretary eanisie were only touched upon in an informal manner. The recommendations were neither endorsed nor condemned. The finance committee was asked to prepare such a currency bill as they deemed best and report it at an ear ly day, and the steering committee was instructed to make it one of the favored subjects for legislation. The bankruptcy bill was the only one upon which a vote was taken, the result being 21 to 4 in favor of pushing it through a vote so nearly unanimous that no record was made of iv. The other matters were incorpo rated in the order of business with out objection. Those absent from the caucus were Senators Butler, Gray, Irby, Brice, Mc-Pherson, Hill, Mitchell and Blackburn. All of these are out of town except Mr. McPher son, who is ill. Mr. Vortices re mained but a few minutes aud then went up town to one of the depart ments. In the previous caucus he told his colleagues very plainly how fruitless any effort to pass the tariff bills would be, and having expressed himself fully and freely he did not appear to take any interest in the discussion to-day. There are two or three Democratic Senators who de clare their intention of calling up the tariff bills in the Senate, but a member of the caucus, in a position to speak with authority, says that this will not be countenanced by the party. The whole situation has been canvassed from every point of view and the final, irrevocable conclusion reached that there can be no "tink ering" with the bill that went into effect on the 2Sth of August last, for the first effort in that direction will be the commencement of a contest that will imperil other matters in which the party is vitally concerned and which the leaders hope to see enacted into law before the end of this session. Representative Woodard has the largest increased majority 3,000 of any man elected to the Fifty fourth Congress. It is a universally entertained belief, contrary to facts, that his is a black district. The census of 1S90 shows a black majori ty of 22(, but the last registration shows 1,000 white majority. "Ask why Ood made the Rem so small And why so hue the jtranite: Beca-ise he meant mankind should place The Inchest value on it." This was Burns neat compliment to a rather petite lady friend, hut it applies with literal exactness to the concentrat ed, yet agreeable, minute, sugar-coated globules, known the world over as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which are easy to take, quick and mild in their action, anil leave no constipating effects. They act csjx'cialiy on the liver, stomach, bowels and blood, freeing the system from impurities and restoring healthy action of the organs. ALL OVER THE STATE.

Last Friday the mule was seized with hydrophobia and butted Its brains out against the logs of the barn. The Charlotte Observer in speak ing of the death of James B.

Catarrh Cures by Thousands by Dr. Hartmau. The symptoms of chronic catarrh vary according to the stage and ex act location of the disease. The first stag.? of catarrh of the noseand head produces discharge from the nose, sneezing, pain in the eyes and fore head, weak, and sometimes watery eyes, occasionally loss of memory. In the last stage the discharge ceas es, and dry, offensive scabs form in the nose; polypi grow ths sometimes form in one or both nostrils, and the pain in the head and eyes is much less. Unless something is done to prevent, the catarrh will fol low the mucous membrane into the lungs, where it will be followed by cough, night sweats, rapid loss of flesh, and the other dread symptoms of consumption. To all such people Dr. Hartman's treatment comes as a great boon. It is only necessary to send name and address to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and complete directions for first month's treatment will be sent free. Not only is it more successful in curing catarrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists, but it is in the reach of every mtsou in this land.

He was brought to Clinton last week and confined in jail until Tuesday, when he was car ried to the State I lospital at Raleigh.
