We do not under rate the work of the Fish Com- mi- sioner, or even criticise it, for we know little about it, but it may be noted as an interesting laot, that fish have been getting scarcer and dearer for several years, notwithstanding the at tention paid to their propagation, and the money appropriated for that purpose. SPECIAL MENTION. Rev. J. T. Stradley is conduc ting revival services this week at Island Creek Church, near Williamsboro. We are pleased to note the large patronage enjoyed by the Horner^School, of this town, the present session. The editor regrets that he was absent fjom the ofiice when Grand Master Bingham called, last Saturday. Mr.Araham Slaughter,a highly respected citizen of this county, died on Friday night last, aged about sixty-nine year ?. He was devoted member of the Mt. Zicn Baptist Church, and by his will gave a considerable sum of money, the interest of which is to be devoted to church purposes, mainly to the cause of Foreign Missions. It is supposed that some four or five thousand dol lars will be realized for in vest ment for the purposes above nam ed. An Advocate of corporal pun ishment for children said, “The child when once started in a course of evil conduct, is like a locomo tive on the wrona: track—it takes a switch to get it ofi.” Miss Blanche Roosevelt’s hus band, Edward Scovel, calls him self Scovelli, and puts “SignoF^ in front of his name, and so announ ces himself for the London concert stage.

The North C’arollna Yearly Meeting of Friends assembled at High Point, August 16th, in their new meeting house, which is one of the largest church buildings in the State. We wefe recently shown a walnut tree on the premises of Mr. J. T. Cheatham, that has the remarkable habit of bearing a crop of nuts on one side one year, and on the opposite side the neKt year. Formerly it pro duced a lull crop every other year. Some years ago, however, it was injured by a heavy sleet, and since that time the limbs growing on the northern Iside of the tree bear nuta one year, and the next year the limbs on the southeiD side bear. Two Illinois farmers had a dis' pute about the boundary lines of their farms. Their dispute is now settled, and so are the lawyers — on their farms. Church of Nativity, Bethlehem, the Church of Ascension on the Mount of Olives. It burns around the Pyramids of Egypt, on the Plains of ancient Troy, on the Acropolis of Athens, and is the chief source of illumination in cottage and palace on the banks of .the Golden Horn. America is the light of the world.’ ’ ^:;.Whenever there is a failure there is some giddiness, some supersti tion about luck, some step omitted, which Nature never pardons. Talk about your fish stories, the biggest of fish stories is not equal to the legend “one dollar” on the American eighty-five cent piece. “What with?” this man charged the magistrate. “With whiskey, your Worship,” replied the sententious policeman. The demand for napkin rings made of wood'grown at Walter Scott’s home, Abbotsford, is prov- iug a great drain upon the forests ef Maine. Chautauqua, N. Y., August 20-—A. G. Haygood, of Geor'* gia lectured this evening on universal educati on as deman ded by universal suftrage. The speaker said emancipation doubled the responsibility of the South. The war left it poor, but it is improving in all its industries, but not in prO'* portion to the increase of its il literate population. It left an increasing burden with a shortening lever. Help is necessary and the nation is concerned that we should have intelligent suffrage in every State It should help the South teach the negroes for it made them citizens be fore they were prepared for suffrage. The speaker criN icised Senator Logan^s plan of distributing aid on the basis of population and commended the point of the Woodstock speech by ex-President Hayes.

It is 8 pleasure toHook into the well kept domitories at the new Asylum building. The boj’s are healthy and cheerful. Visitors to the Asylum shotdd Jiot fail to see them at taeir own house. Rev. M, L. Wood, President of Trinity College, preached at Bullock^s Church last Sunday, an immense audience being pi es- ent. He is traveling in the in terest of the College. Rev. Dr. Baird, of New York City, is temporarily filling the pulpit of the Pi otestant Episco pal Church in this town, with great acceptability. His visits to the Asylum aremuch enjoyed. We have recently heard of a colored woman in the town of Henderson, employed as a cook at five dollars per month, who devotes all her wages to paying the expenses of a son at school in Raleigh. We reci.rd with pleasure such devotion to the good work of education. The long strike inaugurated by the telegraph operators has been brought to an unsuccessful termi nation. After a fight of more than one month,the strikers were forced to lay down their arms and aj piy for instalment to their old positions at the very terms they struck against.—Ex. Tlio very best possible thing to do-whea you feel too weak to carry anything througli, is to go to bed and sleej) for a week, if you can This is the only recuperation of bruin forces, because du ring sleep the brain is in a state of rest, in a condition to receive and appropriate par ticles of nutriment from the blood, which take the place ot those which have been consumed in previous labor since the very act of thinking consumes or burns up solid particles, as every turn of the wheel or screw of the steamer is the result of consumption of the fuel in the furnace. The supply of consumed brain substance can only be had from the nutritive par ticles in the blood, which were obtained from the food eaten previously; and the brain is so constituted that it can but receive and appro priate to itself those nutritive particles during a state of rest, of quiet, and stillness of sleep. Mere stimulants supply noth-* ing in themselves. They goad the brain and force it to a greater consumption of its substance, until that sub stance has been so exhausted that there is not power enough left to receive a supply, just as men are sometimes so near death by thirst and starvation that there is not power enough left to swallow any thing, and all is over. THE COUNTRY CAN GO ON. (Holston Methodist.) Tho country can go on with a high or a low tariff, hut it cannot prosper without a profound respect for law and a conscientious regard for its demands on the part of those who make and admin ister our laws. Excursion street car tickets, wliicb are good for two “beers,” are a feature of Montana. They are probably issued by the brew- erey which is at the end of the line.

Dr. Jones, introducing to audience a famous missionary from India, concluded his remarks with the following: “He comes to you from that land where every prospect pleases, and only man is vile.” School teachers in Silver City, New Mexico, are paid $250 a month. If the town fulfills its name as well with regard to other industries, it will soon have more immigrants than it will know what to do with. Mr. Charles FrancisAdams, Jr.’ sagely observes the Norristown Herald, “should rest his soul in patience. Base-ball and boat-row ing are rapidly supplanting Greek and Latin as the basis of a liberal college education.” TRUE COURAGE. always those who are ready to fight. Here is the story of one who showed the rrglit spirit when provoked by his comrades; A poor boy was attepding school one day with a large patch on the knee of one of his trousers. One of his schoolmates. made fun of him for this, and called him “Old Patch.’’ “Why don’t you fight him?’’ cried one of the boys. “I’d give it to him if he called me so.” “Oh,” said the boy, “you don’t suppose I’m ashamed of my patch, do you? For my part, I’m thankful for a good mother to keep me out of rags proud of my patch for her Stone in tlie Bladder (Urle Acid) ‘‘Destroyed by the action of the Water, by means of Solution or Disintegration.’’ Case of Br.B. J. Weistling, Middleton, Pa., stated hy himself: “Experience in its use in Stone of tho Bliidder in my own 'iier-ion enablc.s me to attest the wonderful efficiency of the Buffiilo Lithia Water in tiiis Dainfiil mal.ady.

At my advanced iicriod of lif> (l .am now seventy-seven years and six montiis of age) and in my fe,eble •'■oneral health, a surgical operation was not to be thought of, and the water se!ems to have accomplished all that such an operation, if successfnl, could h.ave done.
