Boston Traveler: "Yesterday the ther mometer stood at fire paper collars in the shade." A colored brother's opinion : "De women oughter work; dat's so; for ef it hadn't been for Era we wonldn't none of as ha' been 'bleegd to work 'tall." A London doctor has discovered that jou may care the toothache by dissolving half a dram of bicarbonate of soda in an ounce of water and holding the solution in your mouth. Au old chap near Tuscumbia, Alabama, died the other day, and his last rsqnast was for his wife to marry again as soon as she could. He wanted the world to know what a martyr be Lad been. An old farmer once said, with more truth than eleganee; "There are two talks in this world to one do." It would do some of the first settlers of Jamestown, Va., good to come to 4f and take a peep at that town. They would find everything about as they left it, only look ing a little older, with more knot-holes to be seen. Detroit Free Press. A widow informed a friend at the funeral that she couldn't tell whether she weuld wear mourning or not until her husband's will was read. A Louisville chap thought he had found something pure and fresh in the shape of a laughing, sunny littla witch of a girl, and was on the point of proposing marriage whan she scattered his fond hopes to the winds by remarking one eyeniBg; "You kiss and hug me more than any gentleman I am acquaint ed with except Charley Wallace; and he is a steamboat clerk, and only comes here once a month." People who sit at their front windows and stare at their neighbors from morning till night, will, perhaps, not be deterred by the tact that a south Brooklyn woman, in this line of business, had her nose frozen fast to the window-pane one day last week, and was subsequently obliged to have the tip of it amputated. Nevertheless, the affair cast the radiance of a profound joy over the entire neighborhood. An Austin, Nevada, paper doesn't speak well of the dogs of that place. It says; "The worst nuisance are the little dogs; they are not much on the fight themselves, but are remarkably successful in starting and urging on fights. Two little fists will commence by snarling at each other, and in less time than a cat can wink its tail the surface of the full width of Main street for the length of a block will be covered with a sea of surging, snapping!, growling dogs, and out of the chaos it is possible that there may come one fully-developed, square-up-and-down dog flht, and then the little dogs take seats in the dress circle and watch the fan." WHAT WILL BECOME OF BROG DEN? It is not at all certain that the Re publican party of this State, will be characterized by its wonted harmony in the present campaign. It has too many beneficiaries and an insufficient number of offices at its disposal. Got. Brogden is the elephant now in their way and they don't know what to do with him. It is idle to talk about run ning him for Governor, for they have at least a dozen men they would pre fer to nominate for that position; and yet they are afraid to cast him over board without giving him some re ward or endorsement. Their game is to run him for Congress in the Dis trict that the darkey Hyman now re presents. This programme too, has its drawbacks and difficulties. The negroes of that district are in the as cendency by several thousand majori ty and Hyman as their representative, is net likly to yield to the wire-puller's plains without opposition or murmur; and they well know that an alienation of the negro rote would leave them without a Representative in the State, All the indications are that the blacks will demand a candidate of their own color, and the agitated question is still asked, "in that event, what will be come of Brogden?" The Liberal Republicans, led by Schurtz, Bryant and others, are bent on ruling or ruining the Republican party in the next campaign. Their choice of the candidates is Bristow and Hayes, and at " their recent meet ing in New York, they avowed their purpose to support either Tilden, Thurman or Bayard; should, Blaiae Morton or Conkling receive the noral nation at Cincinnati. HADIC 5 L CONSOLATION. The average intelligent Republican when told of the wide spread and in famous corruption of which his parti has been guilty dGe3 not attempt to deny the fact, but seeks to avoid the issue and palliate the crime by alleg ing that eomc Democrat also stole, The-best take off cm this invariably re ply of a cornered Republican sympa thiser is expressed in the following brief and admirable colloquy, taken from a Democratic paper called the Mirror, published in the town of Al bion, in the State of iichigan : "Grant Republicans invaribly t'uii sale themselves in this way : Deni Blaine got the money. Rep So did Tweed. Dem Schenck is a swindler. Rep So is Tweed. Dem Bristow took a big fee. Rep So did Tweed. Dem Delano swindled the Indians. Rep Tweed swindled the whitemen Dem Babcock is indicted for city swindling. Rep So was Tweed. Dem Grant is partial to knaves. Rep So is Tweed. Dem Shepherd is the "boss" city swindler. Rep So is Tweed. Dem Joce ami Avery are in jail. Rep So was Tweed. " Dem A M Oiapp,.the Public Prin ter at Washington, ought to le im peached for stealing. Rep So had Tweed. Dem Robeson is a plunderer of the people's money. Rep So is Tweed. Dem Beecher ought to be expelled from the church. Rep So Lad Tweed. And, so on, ad infinitum, and they, roll up the whites of their eyes like a blind mule." TILDEN LOOMING UP. The New York Tribune one of the most influential journals in New York as well as in the whole Union, in commenting upon the Presidential aspirants shows itself clearly in fayor of Gov. Tilden for our next President. It will be remembered that the Tribune while professing to be an .independent or neutual paper has always had a decided leaning towards the Repub lican party, its editor-in-chief being considered the principal exponent and mouth peice f the Liberal Re publican element throughout the country. It says in a leading edito rial : " Thoueh there ar rpivptmI demo cratic statesmen who might be named whose candidacy would go far to as sure the neonlft of thf. pnrnft.nM nf the party, it seems to us that only one uas ueen Drougru prominently tor ward who has been so thoroughly identified with political reform as to be able to lift the party up into the confidence of the people. That man is Gov. Tilden. The feeliag of the people is that the country would be safe is his hands as the Executive. It is our conviction that if Governor ulden 6hould be nominated at St. Louis, the gentlemen who have called a political conference in this city Would t&ko no indpnpnrlf'nt cp.fian whatever might be done by the repub licans at Cincinnati. BRISTOW BLACK-BALLED. Bristow black-balled ! Twelve (!) black balls placed against his admis sion into the Union League of New York ! Oh ! Bristow, if thou art re fused on account of thy character, dark indeed must be thy crimes! Some rumor, it was true "that you were once engaged in an illegal specu lation with government mule$ went the rounds, but we never did5 think it was true. Besides, stealing mules would be no serious objection to a membership in the Union League The fact is, Mr. Bristow, we think we know the unpardonable crime of which you have been guilty it is your leniency and fairness towards the Southern people. GRANT DRY. Gen. Grant's speech at the opening of the Philadelphia centennial, is the driest document that we ever remem ber to have read, but we are not at all surprised at its character it is only in accordance with the nature of its author. Dryness is one of the leading traits in the President's character. In fact, he is dry all the time, for that is the normal and chronic condition of the man. Like a piece of blotting paper, he abeorts everything wet within his reach, except water. There is probably not a period in the day when he is not dry; hia first cry in the morning and his last at night is to the effect that he is dry. The speech then was only in keeping with the orator. If it had been otherwise, the sin of plagiarism would have been laid at his door. The majority of our exchanges are filled up with six column accounts of the opening of the world's great show at Philadelphia. If however any of them should get off a good thing they must not be surprised at our failure to mention it. The days though long, can count only 24 hours at best : and though the centennial notes of the press may have no limit; life has; and that is our excuse. Speaker Kerr is now on a visit to this State for his health. His Dhvsi- cians thought the cool bracine atmos phere of the French Broad valley best suited to his enfeebled frame and ad vised him accordingly. 'J wiujiu, Utiia.- ware, has been led a blushing bride to w, Vrr-,,. "uieb, one nas been Miss Williams, Mrs. Traux, Mrs. Far row, Mrs, Riggs,. Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Pratt, and now Mrs. Ab bott, and has married a widower every time but once, and has reared numer- K,?teE"C1bUirea for her various hus bands, but has never had children of Grains of Co'd. Tiie greatest prayer is patience. Buddha. The art of life consists in being well deceived. As if you could kill time without in juring eternity. Thorcau. All good theories are made corrupt bypassing through defective souls. Swiivj. Truth is too fcimple for us : we do not like those who unmask our illu sions. Emerson. A lie is like a brush-heap on fire; it is easier to let it burn out than try to extinguish it. - Man alone is born crying, lives com plaining, and dies disappointed. Sir IV. Temple. The utmost that severity can do is to make men hypocrites; it can never make them converts. The most loveablc heart is that which ioves the most readily; but that which easily loves, also easily forgets. Goethe. There is nothing more frightful than for a teacher to know only what his scholars are intended to know. Goethe. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be, Iow put foundations under them. Thoreuu. Nothing makes love sweeter and tenderer than a little previous scolding and freezing, just as the grape-clusters acquire by a frost before vintage thin ner skins and better flavor. Hichter. Oceana of horse-hair, continents of parchment, and learned-bergesnt elo quence, were it continued till the learned tongue wore itself small in the indefatigable, learned mouth, can not make the unjust just. Carhjle. Love is like a hunter, who cares not for the game once caught, which he may have pursued with the most in tense and breathless eagerness. Love is the strongest in pursuit; friendship in possession. Emerson. Love is indeed heaven upon earth ; since heaven above would not be heaven without it; for, where is not love, there is fear; "perfect love casteth out fear."' And yet we natur ally fear most to offend what we meet love. William Penn. The regular way is to hang, kill, crucify your gods, and execrate and trample them under your stupid hoofs for a century or two ; till you discover that they are gods; and take to brag- over them, still m a very long-eared manner- CarhjU. Man is the highest product of hi3 own history. The discoverer finds nothing so grand or so tail as himself, nothing so valuable to him. 'lb e greatest star is that at the little end of the telescope that is looking, not looked after, nor looked at. Theodore Parktr. Amid all the glamour that love throws over his chosen few, nothing is more prettily absurd than the way in which he make3 them appear in parts quite foreign to their original charac ters. It is so fine to see the selfish people become generous under his magic spell ; the reserved ones, genial ; the taciturn, talkative ; the secretive natures, transparent; the tad ones, merry ; the jovial, just becoming touched with an agreeable melanchol ia! Howard Ghjndon, in Home. Jour nal. Men, like plants, have both visible and invisible history. Tiie astrono mer threads the darkness with etrict education, accounting for every visible arc in the wanderer's orbit ; and the narrator of human actions, if he die! his work with the same completeness, would have to thread the hidden path ways of feeling and thought which lead up to every moment of action, and to those moments of intense suf fering which take the quality of ac tion like the cry of Prometheus, whose chained anguish seems a greater energy than the sea and sky he in vokes and the deity he defies. A Chapter Motto in aniel Deronda. Wretched MiseeitvESentations. The New York World has the follow ing upon the health of Speaker Kerr, concerning which so many exaggera ted accounts have of late been in circu lation ; We have not thought it worth while to comment upon the extravagant stories which have been going the rounds of tho Republican pres.3 for sometime past as to the alleged ill health of Speaker Kerr. Mr. Kerr haB certainly been contending with man ful courage during much of the present session with physical ailments which might have excused a man of less resolute temper and of a le3s noble spirit from devoting himself, as Mr. Kerr has done, to the duties of his most trying and important position. During a recent visit to New York, however, in quest of medical advice, Mr. Kerr ascertained that these ail ments were less serious in their origin and nature than he had been led to fear, and he left this city a few days ago for the high arrd wholesome region of tho French Broad, in Nortli Caro lina, with a full assurance of return ing thence ere long reeruited and re established in health, to resume his place at the head of the House of Rep resentatives. It is not difficult to divine the motives which have led a certain class of politicians and of journalists to exaggerate and misrep resent the facts with regard to this able, conscientious, and thoroughly fearless representative of true consti tutional principles in the administra tion of our government. But they are not worth talking about. A Hint for Mr. Darwin. It was a young philosopher of seven years of age, who had not got far enough to hear the Holy Scripturps disputed by science. He listened attentively in his father's parlor the other evening to a warm discussion on the Darwin theory, and, after the guests had de parted, somewhat surprised the paren tal with ''Father, I don't believe Mr. Darwin is right." "What !" said the parent, looking down at this unexpected reasoner, who stood before him with a little Bible in his hand; "you do not, and why?" "Because. naDa. mv Bibln savs 'ftnrl created man in His own image, and I don't believe it was a monkey." "Well," said the sire, laughing, "rurf along Tommy : vou are too vounc to talk about such things." "But, papa, almost the next verse says, 'God saw everything he had made, and behold it was very good; now it wasn c gooa it men were monkeys,.was it? for you are eooder than a m'nnlrpv ain't you, papa?" A correspondent of the Pindmnnt Press says that Richard J. Dobbins, me principal contractor on the Cen tennial buildings has a hrother living on the Yadkin River a few miles above Patterson, in this cmintv. w has a small farm and saw-mill "ami ;a said to have very little energy. LITERARY GOSSIP. Why we Laugh by Samuel 3- Ccx, Addison in his "Genealogy of Hu mor" says : Truth it the founder of the family, and the father of Good Sense ; from whom descended Wit, who married a lady of Collateral line called Mirth, by whom she had issue Humor "Sun Set" Cox, the author of the book before us, gives a family history of Hu mor in all these branches, but devotes most of his work to the American line. Few persons really understand the distinction between Wit and Humor, and we think Mr Cox hits the nail on the head when he says there is much Humor in both wit and farce, but Hu mor is neither wit nor farce. Wit is a britrht. keen edged tool and often wounds, but Humor has no sting, and founded on a deep manly character. Wit is often sarcastic, Humor never so. In his chapter on Legislative Humor Mr. Cox often quotes two distinguished North Carolina gentlemen, George E. Badger and Z. 13. Vance. According to his definition of humor and wit those who personally know these gentle men would say, Mr. Badger was the most witty, and Governor Vance the most humornus. On one occasion when Mr. Badger's State pride was roused by Mr. Yulee of Florida, who, in a debate on the graduation of the public land, defined "barren lands" as a description of land found in North Carolina, he replied that he hoped the Floridian did not mean to insinuate that .North Carolina was in the same situation as Florida' "Mine is a modest State, sir, and does not expose her good qualities to public ity. She generally sends her travelers through her poor lands, and at night!', When a member ot Congress was excused on the ground that he was ex tending courtesies to the Japanese when they were in.vash;ngton, Gover nor Vance, according to Mr. Cox, said, He has paired on with tho gentlemen trom Jeddo. Xone of the anecdotes told, however, of thse gentlemen equal many that could be collected here whore thev are well known. The soldiers, put to guard Govenor Vance when he was a prisoner in the Old Capitol, would quarrel which should have the pleasure of doing so, so much were thev amused at his good natured drollery and witticisms. "What are you doing here. Vance ? asked one of his old Congressional friendSjWho had called to see "Oh, I'm in for debt." "Debt?" tl" . TT11 11 1.1 1 ies, noiuen pieugea the la:-: man and the last dollar m Xorth C: i olina for the Confederate cause, and 1 went his security ; he iaucd to pay rind they nabbed me. nen ne reached Lhapei inn tiie first time, a raw boy just entering coll ege, it was in company with several other students, who were returning after vacation, and who were warmlv greeted bv their acquaintances. Vance knew nobody, and stood for a moment aior.e, but suddenly rushed up to an old negro man, and commenced viol- enuv snai-:mg nanas witn him and ex pressing his delight at meeting him. "Hello, Vance ! How came vou to know old Virgil ?" ".Never saw him. before in. my life, but you see when shaking hands is the fashion I don't like to be left out in the cold." These anecdotes are characteristic of the man, who always makes the best of everything and never weunds the feel ings of others by his humor. Keen, pointed and trenchant was Mr. Radgcr s wit, even when genial; it always torn. iis mother was a Methodist and objected to the Episcop al Church of which he was a member because of the written prayers : "They tell ine, she said to him one day, "that there are prayers in the prayer book over two hundred years old. Is it so"" "Oh yes mother, some a great deal older ; one that is over eighteen hundred years old. "Eighteen hundred years old! and vou want to make me believe it is worth anything now. What is it?" "The Lord's prayer, mother." Mr. Cox has made a readable book, but it might have been greatly improv ed ; he devotes most of it to Legislative Wit, Humor, Retort and Repartee, and but little to tho Wit of the Bar, which is keenest, most classical and truest wit of the world, as well as the most spontaneous. We once heard Mr. Filmore tell of a witty repartee at his expense, made by a lawyer to whom the law firm, of wich he was a member, was opposed. Mr. 1'ilmore seldom appeared in the court house, except on very important occas ions. Alluding to this, his opponent said, the other side were prepared, he saw , to make a hard fight, as they had all their forces drawn out and had eren "sent to Washington for their Right Bower." "Right Bower, Right Bower!" said Mr. Filmore, who "knew nothing of cards. What is that?" "The biggest knave in the pack," was the prompt and witty reply. 1 am devoting all my energies to the question of quick transit," said Commdo- ore anderbilt, one day. "les, Commodore, your motto is ''Quick transit gloria inundi" was the reply of a gentleman present. We recommend Mr. Cox s book to all who like to laugh: it will not only serve to preserve the witticisms it re cords, but will rprobably bring to light many others he has not recorded. M. D. C. ..You Don't Pray." The following instructive anecdote, relating to Pre sident Finney, is characteristic : "A brother who had fallen into dark ness and discouragement, was staying at theliouse with Dr. Finney overnight. lie was lamenting nis condition, and Dr. Finney, after listening to his nar rative, turned to him with his peculiar, earnest look, and with a voice that sent a thrill though his soul, said: "You don't pray! that's what's the matter with you. Pray pray four times as much as you ever did in your life, and you will come out." He immediately went down to the parlor, and taking the Bible, he made a regular business of it stirring up his soul to seek God as did Daniel, and thus he spent the night. It was not in vain. As the morning dawned he felt the light of the Sun of Righteousness shine upon his soul. His captivity was broken, and ever since he has felt that the greatest diffi culty in the way of men being eman cipated from their bondage is, that they "don't pray." About the only independent news paper with Republican tendencies that talks right out is the Cincinnati Commercial. This is its ultimatum : "The Republican managers might as well understand it. The kind of cat tle that crowded Charles Sumner out of the party are not to win this time. If they prevail in the Cincinnati con vention, we must do the best we can with the Democratic party." ""li -.'V-. .'!i..';-.L- ,g.V-'li-.M-U-MS.--1-.'B' The Trada in Dried Blackberries. In the Piedmont region of North Carolina, this has become an enorm ous business. At the towns of Reids-. ville, Winston and Hickory, there is marketed annually about 2,00Q,000 pounds, The gathering of these ber ries affords employment to a great many poor people, and is no small matter in their slender income. The demand for them is so constant in the Northwest that agents are sent out from there in advance to make con tracts for supplies. This industry might become as general among the poor people in the corresponding region in this State, and we trust they will be encouraged in prosecuting it. We know how from nothing a great business has grown up among us in Sumac bicilly once had the monop oly of it ; but the trade has learned to value ours ; indeed with more care observed in gathering it the standard of ours will quite reach that of Sicily. These are minor matters in our gen eral economy ; but they bring comfort to many needy people, and in the aggregate of our work, prove to be no insignificant factor. bxahange. A Good Man. Pst the middle age, shaggy eyebrows, a scowl on his lore head, never known to attend a Sunday- school picnic, people have contended that Cotter was born mean, and that he wouldn't pull off his hat to give his family a whole week of pleasure. And yet they were all mistaken. At eleven o'clock the other night, when the bright moon sailed grandly through the boundless heavens and Jack Frost blew his warning whistle, this much abused man was seen to come down the front steps in pants, socks, and 6hirt, walk clear across the yard to a ilewer-bed, and carefully cover a check apron over a sickly pink that had I been struggling for fiften days to get a ! .a. P . a -r -r scan ior ine summer campaign, ne did it for his wife's sake, and any man who says that Cotter hasn't got a heart as big as a barrel of Akron ce ment is his enemy from pure spite and malice.
