Always tT anting Corrections.
The colored, race is peculiar. The reporter
never has an item in the morning paper
concerning-ft darkey in which the name is
mentioned in any"shape or form, but what
he is met at the foot of the steps on his way
to the office, by that came darkey with
a copy of the paper in his hand.
VTou'se de 'porter, ain't jou?" 'is the
first question. "Yes." "Well, sah, dare's
somethin' in de paper here 'bout me which
J-de like to hah yerkrect." "Well, ain't all
that is said of you true?" "Yea, sah, but
yer see," and then follows a long explana
tion of why it happened to be so. As soon
as it is found that no correction is needed,
all that was stated being true, the reporter
moves on, the explanation continuing until
he reaches the top of the steps and disappears
in the dcor.
Lack of Drlyes.
Charlotte is more deficient, we suppose,
in good drives, than any place in the State,
and it is a lack which operated seriously up
on the pleasure of the young people of the
community. You cannot go in any direc
tion and strike a good level road,"hnder"a
mile and a half or two miles. The best, per
haps is in the direction of Sugar Creek
Church, but before the good road can be
reached, the heavy, rugged bills beyond the
Carolina Central Depot, must be climbed.
In all olher directions the roads alternate
between hills and hollows which interfere
greatly with the pleasures of a drive. How
ever, to see the number of happy
looking young people dashing through the
streets in flashy equipages on a pleasant
evening when the roads are good a stranger
would not suppose that there was any cause
to complain of the drives in the vicinity of
the.citj. ,
Downfall of Cha.-lotte."
Under the caption, and with an exclama
tion point after the last word, the Bakers-
ville (Mitchell county) Independent, of last
week, gives the following account of a mis'
hap which befell one of our young men
while "gallivanting in the mountains: "Mr
Rankin, drummer for the firm of Walter
Brem & Martin. CKarlotte, N. C, honored
our town with a visit last week. While in
our midst he had the pleasure of taking a
horse back ride with one of our young
adies. After riding some considerable dis
tance up Cane Creek, enjoying themselves
in a pleasant conversation about the grand
old mountains, whose towering heights sur
rounded them on either side, and the
lovely' appearance of things in general,
they returned, and just about the time they
reached the bridge, which is constructed
across a small stream, in front of our sanc
tum door, the horse on which Mr, Rankin
was mounted, had the extreme misfortune
to ' 'stump his toe,' and down came 'Ran
kin, Brandy and all but the young man
being very active, turned , several . summer-
saul ts in mid -air, and was at length brought
low On a downy pillow of mod. He has our
deepest sympathies, and as a friend we
would advise him the next time he starts
out rusticatinjg to ' take a sure-footed'
horse."
The Coarts.
Yesterday was another day when all the
criminal business was confined to one court
that of Justice Davidson. . The Mayor bad
no court, and none of the Magistrates ex
eept the one named, had aught hut civil
business. The first' case of the day before
Justice1 Davidson, was that of Clayton Feni
zer against Ellas Saunders ; this was an Or
der of arrest, in which it was charged that
the latter wis ihe debtor' of, the former, to a
certain amount, for board, and that he was
about to flee the city, leaving this board bill
unpaid ; indeed the arrest was made by the
constable on Thursday night, when the
plaintiff was about to board the train,' and
he was put in confinement until yesterday
morning, when he was brought out for trial
Saunders paid the bill and the cost, and the
case ended tnere . . ;

Republican Paper.
We understood, yesterday, that there is
serious talk of. estabishing a Republican
daily paper in this city. We suppose that,
if this is done, it will be only a temporary
publication, put on foot to fight the Repub
lican battles during the campaigns of this
summer and fall. It will, of course, if start
ed, be supported by the government, since
there are not enough Republicans in all the
piedmont country, no, not in all the State,
who can read, to maintain a daily paper ,
and besides, the breach is so great in the
ranks here, that all of the party strength can
not be concentrated upon the bantling,
which will be, if we are correctly informed,
under the auspices of the post-office wing.
Tne Southern Life Insurance Company.
Particulars regarding the bankruptcy of
this institution are anxiously looked for, in
this city, as well as elsewhere, owing to the
fact that many of our citizens have large
personal interests in it. What we present
below is. the most detailed account of the
causes of the failure that we haye, so far
been able to arrive at. The agent in this
city on yesterday morning received a letter
from Gen A H Colquitt, of Atlanta, who is
Vice President of this department, detailing
the facts about as they are told below by a
reporter of the Atlanta Herald, who , inter
viewed Gen Colquitt concerning the matter,
The Herald says :
"Some three vears ago. the Southern Life
InsuraaceComDanv. through its headquar
ters in Memphis, absorbed the business, of
the 'Carolina Life Insurance Co.' The terms
of the absorption as shown by the contract
were that the Southern Late assumed an tne
livinc risks of the Carolina Company, but
did not become responsible for its debts, or
03ses already accrued. .
'Shortly after the absorption took place
some of the old creditors bf the Carolina l.fe
commenced suit against the 1 Southern Life,
demanding settlement of their claims, on
the general assertion that Haying taken an
the assets of the Carolina Company, the
Southern Life became responsible for all the
liabilities of that.Company; Tne suits were
instituted in Tennessee, and after tedious
trials, a sufficient number Of test cases were
decided : to show that the Southern Life
would have to pay the debts of the Carolina
Company. This it could have done, had it
not been that the assets of that company
shrank to almost nothing when an attempt
was made to realize upon them. A few days
since, being convinced that the company
could not carry the load, and desiring to
avoid aBy priority of claims and prevent a
sacrifice of its assets the company at Mem
phis determined to go into voluntary bank-
. mi , t .1 j 1 ii. - j : m i-v
ruptcy. J.niS.lb UlU, SUU ueuue mo uisyniu
alluded to."
The Herald says that this department of
the company has been doing a fine and pay
ing business, and the Constitution says that
the number of policies in force and under
care of this department, is between 2,000
25,00. No authorized statement has as yet
been made of the affairs of the company,
and it is presumed that some time will
elapse before this can be done. '
The Dogs In Charlotte.
We do not believe that it is much of an ex.
8geeration, if it is an exaggeration at all. to
snv t.ht in f?hrlnf.tp theie is one doe for
rarmiii. Th streets and yards are full
of them. If one wants an idea of the num
ber, he must take a walk through the back
streets and alleys, and in front of the negro
huts ; this class of people have at least one
doz for every. household ; frequently .more,
What their fancy is for this, wiu pernaps
never be known nntil the time conies when
all the mysteries of the world shall , be
vealed, for they have hard scrambling to get
enough for themselves and their families to
eat, and the dog is a remorseless consumer
who produces nothing at all ; but the feet
stands, that they do own them, and , proba
bly for no other reason than the additional
dignity that is given them by reason of the
fact that "they own a aog.
Bui why we mentioned this matter in the
first place, was to call attention to ; t;he fact
that the tax is not paid on more than one-
third Of these worthless curs, and this is a
high estimate one-third. Whave forgot'
ten how many tax-paid dog collars were
sold last Bummer, but the number was
about 300: certainly not many over that
Now.who supposes that there are no more
than 300 dogs in Charlotte? To put -the
number down at 1000, one would not miss it
far r -yet all over 300 go untaxed., This is
not right It is an inj ustice to the city and
likewise to those who do pay the taxes on
their dogs. ' The police and aty Marshal are
not to blame for this.for it is not exbectedof
them to ga upon . eyery man's premises nd
hunt up his dogs tq see xl they "are wx-paiqj
hut at the beginning of the next dog killing
season, it would he money in the city treas
ury if some one were paid fot this .Very ser
vice to hunt out the dogs and kill all those
not wearing collars. - Other cities have regu
larly organized dog-killing brigades.-; and
the idea is a'good one. We repeat that inch

No people ever had such opportunities for ,
forming magnificent parks as we American
have had.. .Just thin out one of our fine for
ests, so as to allow sunlight enongh to per
mit the growth of grass, and we haVe at
once a park. Now go to stock -raising, and
there is nothing that will pay you better
that one of these parks. In Kentucky they
call them woodland pastures. The largest
park in Eogland is Tatton, Cheshire, county;
it is eleven mile3 in circumference,, and is
well stocked with herds of red and fallow
deer.. The olde3t park ' worth a visit from
every tourist, is in Kent county, near Tnn-
bridge Wells It is a wild and beautiful do
main called Bridge, and belongs, to the Earl
of Abergavenny, whose family name is Ne
ville, so well known in English history. The
Earl of Winchelsea owns Eastwell which is
celebrated for the variety of its scenery, and
the immense size of its ferns., ,.The ferns are
tall enough to reach the shoulders of a man
on horseback, and. completely ' conceal the
deer; which can only be discovered in these
ferney glades by their 7 leaps and bounds.
Much complaint has. of course, been made
by the radicals, of the uselesaness of parks,
and the' great amount of. land, lost . to the
farming population But modern research
shows clearly that they purify the air, : sap-
ply moisture to the surrounding crops and
pro4uce other benefits to the whoie country
which could not be regained for centuries,
if ttiev were once destroyed. But for these
parks, England would be a treeless country.
As long as Spain had - trees, her 'people
were powerful and vigorous, uai "whole for
ests were destroyed to build her fleets, (she
was: once- the great maritime power of
the world) and there seems to , be some, as
yet, unexplained, connection between trees
and human health, mental and physical.
