A Sketch of My Journey West. Mr, Editor: On June the 12h, in the beautiful early morning, I fiuid good by to the muny dear North Caroli na Mentis and started for the far away West, with ray cousin, Lena Mast. Perhaps the parting was even eadder than I would ac knowledge, and as I looked buck on the dear homes where I had spent ho man? happy hours, 1 lealized that to me they were loat, a n d 'twas there 1 knew 'how dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood." Taking the early train at Elk Purk on Saturday tnor ning. we were soon carried to Johnson City where we t han ged for the Southern. Earl.r on Sunday morning we at- lived in Memphis and hav ing several hours to wait, we went out to iind something of interest in the city. We saw very little, however, ex cept dirt and darkies, But soon after leaving the depot, we crossed the Mississippi, and it was a grand view indeed I hat greeted us. The wide expanse of water and the steamers resting peaceful ly on its bosom. We were then passing thro' country quite different frm our own in many respects, and watched eagerly for th surprises we knew wereawait ing us. Early Monday mor ning we arrived at Kansas City, and though it is quite a large city. Mid there was a continual stir like a sea of people ever moving, we en joyed the hours of waiting much better than those of Memphis. On leaving the city the sut prises truly began. 1 had heard much of the floods and destruction, but had not re alized the extent of the terrir ble disaster until I was brought face to face with the devastation caused by the high water. Everywhere th mark was left. Nearly all the tails were still under debris and water or cast up in heaps on the df v land. Houses were upturned, bridges torn down and many cars wrecked and hanging from broken bridg es or lying in heaps. A num ber of small towns were com pletely demolished and the country from Kansas City to Topeku was one scene o frightful devastation and ru in. Leaving Topeka we were able to.travei more rapidly and soon came into the more restful scenes and beautiful country, We came into Den ver iu the afternoon and changed cars for Cheyenne. We were then passing thro' the less fertile regions and coming to the bnely hilts and prairies. Nothing b u t sage bush and cactus greet od us, after leaving the prai ries, and the hot sun sent its pitiless rays down on the dry dusty plains and it was a wea rying sight. Through parts of the country the work of ii rigation was being carried on and the grass was green and the water looked cool and inviting. Soon we were crossing the Rockies and the lofty peaks covered with snow afforded interesting topics for con ver nation and a pleasant pass time. After renching Oregon we tound it much cooler and mote pleasant, and the fertile valleys and timber-covered mountains reminded me of the Old North State. The grand Bcenery, as wo passed through the mountains, and the cool babbling brooks, where the little fishes glided along, were welcome sights to us. Far from pleasant was our ride from Pendleton. Oregon, to Walla Walla Wash ington, as the heat was al most suffocating and the dust stifling. The Columbia river seemed large and beau tiful and we enjoyed the cool breeze from its surface. Leav ing Walla H'nila it gradual ly grew cooler and the dust less stifling. The country seemed to be all hills and val leys, what fields and grass lands, with never a tree ex cept in some yard or orchard where they hail been cultiva ted. We were, nevertheless, in a beautiful land and a mild climate, and m spirits rose as we neared our journey s end. We arrived at our destina tion at 1 or 2 o'clock on the mot ning of the 19th, tired and travel-worn, but as we sat': to rest 1 felt that, after all, Washington was home- and, just as North Carolina lad been, and though t. h e irreat United States lay be tween me and old friends, I was near them still.

It is interesting to note the simi- arity of the institutions and the cbunges have been made nearly at the same time. E- ven the names of many of our counties bring up remi niscences across the water. He instanced for example the stout oi l Wtr. Lord Craven, who foji&ht for the beautiful aughterof James the lt, he titular Queen of Bohe mia; Gabriel Johnston, one of the great clans of South Scotlaud and North England who got their name from their beautiful city of Penh, called St. John's town, (the St. John's town folk); Wake named from Lady Mary, daughter of Earl Ferrers, de see tided from Qerewnrd, the wake of watchman of the incursions of the Danes, who longht bo long against Will inm the Conqueror. Lastly lie told of Charles Lnnox the Duke of Richmond, w h o moved in the House of Peers that the revolutionary war should be stopped, thegrand sou of the brilliant but un scrupulous trench Countess, the Dutchess of Portsmouth, utid Charles II. There are ma ny other counties whose names should be followed back into the old country and the historical tacts clus tered around them exploded. "The lecturer then showed how the great civil war was fought in order to settle tha great issue whether the alle giance of our people is. due lirst to the state, instead of the general government. Wil liam the Conqueior settled the question nearly OOOyears ago, when he forced on Salis bury Plain the laud holders to sweur nllegienee directly to him and not to their liege lord.

For three j ears Mecklenburg has snflered some for the lack of farm hands, and this year it is feeling the scarcity ol labor ers more than ever. Crops suffer and the yield is c u t short because of tha lack of attention at theproper time The one good effect this has on the farmers of t b e county is that it is compel ing them to open their purs es and invest iu improve!, la bor-saving ma -hiuery. Mote machinery has been sold in Charlotte within the past two years than for any fouryears previous. But the exodus of negro la hor is also beginning to af feet the people in the citv. The scarcity of hands has greatlv increased the siz-i of the wages of the remainder. The builders of the city and grading contractors are pay ing more lor labor now than thwy have for many years. This is for unskilled labor, and there haH not been an idle mason nor carpenter or other skilled workman in the city for many months, if he desired the work. More build ers and skilled workmen are employed in the eit.v now than ever before and the de mand is still greater than the supply, although the good wages nre attracting the class of woi kmen desired from other towns.

He has atoused a ruce ha tied in all sections that was in the waj of slowly dying out. The scheme of the Demo crats to divide the colored vote of the North to which Mr. D -pew alludes, selfish as it was, was bound to have a good effect, since, since, so far afc it was pushed, it would have tended to destroy raw prejudice in politics, and it would to some extent have spread to the South, where its influence would have been still more beni fluent. At the best the action ot the P resit dent has stimulated mere office seeking and enaourag ed office seekers among the negroes while he haschecked a movement that distinctly would have tended to peace and good feelings bet weed the t aces. This Mr. Depew crows over. It should be a source of regret and shame. A Moscow dentist, sas an exchange, hns invented a sys tern wherebv false teeth can tie made to grow into t h e gums as Grmly sis natural ones.
