STCsS "y .XTS? jgMKftga WASHINGTON LETTEH. From oar SezaUr Correspondent. President Cleveland is ve ing importuned tocallan im mediate extra session ofCou. gress. ami the presence of ex SMaker Crip in town Malt ed a rumor that he had so de cided. If he has he has not made the d cision public. There in little doubt that Mr. Cleveland would call an im mediate extra seMsion if he knew that it would promptly repeal t he Sin Tina n Si I ver law but of that he is not certain, and a refusal to repeal might have a ban effect on th' tiuan cial situation, which has not linen eftVrted by the Wall St. excitement during last week. Many democrats expres the opinion that it would be the proper thing at this time to call nn extra session and throw the responsibility of maintaining the government credit, upon Conirre?s, hut they also express their confi dence in the President's abil ity to di the right thing. Secretary Carlisle took a long step In the right direc tion when he dem-nided the resignation of A. L. Sturte- vaiit. chief of the division of stationary. Sturtpvant hn been in office for d'J years. ! rich, a salaried officer of a prosperous safe deposit com pany and saving hank, alio is moreover a ringleader in what is known as the 'Trens n ry ring.' members of which have for years boasted that no Secretary couid ger a- long without, them. It has not been two weeks since nlo cnl naner nrmted n list of probablr chnngesinthe treas ury, singling out those who belonged to the 'Treasury ring" as men whose services it would be impossible for Mr. Carlisle to dispense with an J still continue to' do bus iness, and even now some of the papers say that Mr. Car lisle will upon consideration of the matter request St'ivte vant to withdraw his resig nation, but all the same h will not. He will probably gef rid of every chief who be longs to the ring, just to show them how easy it is ro oet nloncr without, them. He certain'y ought to. "Secretary Lamont," said a New Yorker to your con es nondent. "has no intention of remaining in the cabinet He only accepted a porfolio as a favor to his old friend, the President, and with the express understanding that hm would resurn as soon as frtnin work was done in which he was to take part Exactly what the work is I dun't think anybody, except Dan and Mr. Cleveland know but there are go-jd reason8 to suppose that they relate largely to thefederal appoint merits in Nvw York, and as soon as all of those appoint ments the prominent ones I mean are made, 1 am un der the impression that Sec retary Lamont will resign and resume his connection with the Whitney street rail way .syndicate, where his sal arv was more than three times what he now receives.' Secretary Lamont declines to discuss the probability of his early resignation, dismis-l sing enquiries with thentate inent that he lias no present intention of resigning. But there are other things which point to the probability of his doinir so. The Secretary of War has Icsk patronage than any other mem!er of the cabinet, but Secretary La mont ha? not a vailed himself even of the little at hisdispo- al. and may Iwlieve that it is because he wishes his nuc- cpHMor to ha ve the choosing of theoffichls. Another thing which has be-m commented upon is that the Lnmonts lave not given up their resi lence in New York City, and when Mrs. Lamont was in Washington a short time n- go she upoke very indefinite- y about her coming here to ive airam; and only last week she accepted the presidency of a New York social organi zation, whieh would not have teen tendered to her had it een supposed that she had any immediate intention if removing her residence to Washington.

What a lovely thing that British beauty is any how. We heard yesterday ol a truedemocrat who held office under Cleve land and was made to get out and a rep-Utiiaii was put in his place.

D Cameron and issued by the State Board ol Agriculture, is a rich mine of information, in regard to her wealth afrri rich resource as developed and undeveloped. The book is profusely embellished with beuutiful illustrations among which area west view from Blowing Rock, the Black .irother from Mount Mitch el, Forest Scrne in the Valley of the Linvil'e, Negro Moun tain, Jefferson, Ashe county.

View from Roan Moun tain, trout-fishing, etc. It seems that Nature 1ms been extremely prjfuse in the limate, soil and productions of North Carolina, so much so that no section or territo ry of equal extent and area an surpass it. "The State is bounded on the north by Vir ginia, on the east by the Ai antic ocean, on thesouth by South Carolina and Georgia, and on the west by Tennes see. The extreme length o the State from east to west is olKJtf miles. Its average width is 100 miles while its extreme width is 1H7 miles Its aia mbraces 52,246 square miles, of which 48, 006 is land and 3,520 water Its topography is a vast de clivity sloping down fro in the summit of Black Moun taiu.au altitude of nearly 7.000 feet to the level of the Atlantic". The State isdiv ded into three sections, the western, middle and eastern The temperature grddually change from the sea to th mountains. Each section pro duces all the cereals or grains While the eastern and middle sections produce cotton and rice, the western is the home of all the cultivated and na five grasses. The Blue Ridge the great water-shed, seems to be the back-none of the State, whose waters flow both east, and west. Thegrand riv ers, Yadkin, Linville, Cataw ba and others, flow east ward: into the Atlantic, while, the New, Watauga. Cany and others How westward, cut ting their tortuous courses through the high range of Smok.N Mountains. How won derfully Nature has provided the avenues through which the fountains of of water arc supplied to nourish ami sup port vegetation. The rain clouds seem to be the veins and the rivers, creeks and brooks the arterits. T h e n the bowels of our rock-ribbed mountains, hills and valleys contain all the useful and pre cious ores, while the moun tains, hills aDd valleys them selves are clothed in gar ments of beautiful, dense for ests, embracing the greatest variety of beautiful and use ful timber used for ornamen tal and substantial purpos es. The shrubs and flowers are as the laces and edgings of the stately and graceful forests. Pile art of mannev- pedally the delicatecup-ehup ed flowers of the ivey, laurel and ar.alen, or honeysuckle, Old who does not love our lelightful country of n.oun- tains und valleys, the "Land of the sky" and home of the loud, which nbounds with ure cold, sparkling springs and babbling brooks a n d I health-g iving ntinosphere? What rould nature do for n ountry and people tnat she lasnot done for us? She has given us climate and soil that produces all the grains, vegetables, fruits and btrries; grass and fljwert for those who roperly cultivatethem. So w( see that Nature has lone her pat t well and noblv and naught remains but fur us tc do our pai t. Have we dor;eit7 No. Let us strive in th? future to aid Nature in m iking our favored conn- try n veritable paradise.

Observer, The Country Paper. Th most abused, the least lppn-ciated and, atthesame time, the most potential fac- tor in the community is the ocal oaper. ou don t think so; I know you don't, but it's the truth. The local paper does more for its county than all the ' blanket" daily or weekly papers combined. Not an issue pastes but what some enterprise or individu- al receives a free advertise- merit; not a worthy cause but what it champions and es- pouse. But still the woods are full of men who embrace every opportunity to vurse theircounty paper, and swear it isn't worth picking up in the road. Of course it may not always have as much news and be as bright and at tractive as it ougnt to De. but that is because you have mt pan! your subscription for two years, and the editor is forced to maul rails occa- .11.. t .. .. i:..: Tl,.

These same people can't un derstand why water doesn't run up hill, either. 1 he city weekly is printed from 'dead' matter that, has been used on daily editions and hencecosts t . nothing for composition. But ine iiKuier in ii conn iy u - i per is set up and used for one edition only. Then you pay for the city weekly in advance art - , you pay foryour county pajier well, you don't pay for it at all. .'here is anoth- er man to mention. He has taken his county jmper for say, ten years. It has betn a source of pleasure to him and his family for a decade. It has given him puff flftef puff. W hen the baby died it contained a half column obit uary which was dear to him. but commouplace to all the otner readers, uuen n: daughter married it had ol most n column of stuff about the hands jme bride and the! intelligent grooms when thd truth about the matter was, the bride was Ugly os horue- made sin, and the groom did not have sense enough to come in when it rained. Jt had contained all these a n d much more of Iikenature,but fine day the editor wrote him that he would like to have gets mad and tell the editor to stop his paper, for it ain't worth a dn anyway. Such a man may be a good latner and a kind husband, but 1 doubt it. But the worst man of all Is he who takes his county pa- per for years, and without making any apology or pay- jir a red cent, has the post- master to notify the editor that he doesn't want his pa- per any longer. If stchaman won't steal, it is becaua ho had a good mother. The local paper builds up your county, develops its re sources fights forjother people arid gets kicked and abused because it des not do more. hn to-day's mail you may have received the New York Wot Id, and Harper's Weekly but I'll bet anything in the world that you read theJour nal first. Still the county pa- pers 'ire not worth a cent. Queer, isn't it? 1 tell you, kind reader, this is a quetr world and the people living in it are the queerest of all.
