The deed was thought to have been done by. a man who after Wards shared in the unrighteously be gotten gamsi Try again Judge ; that won't near do. Shelby Cullom, who has recently been nominated as the Republican candidate for Governor of Illinois, is on the ragged edge. He has been connected with the Harper-Smith scandal involving a defalcation of $104,000. He may withdraw his name a la Orth. But why should he do so ? He secured the nomination of the re publican party because he was entire ly in sympathy with its members and their-purposes. They will not desert him, and their hope is that he will not be teriatftly cdmprofcaisedTby the in vestigations now in progress at Wash ington. Bluford Wilson has refused to disclose what he knows about the matter, and Smith promises to keep a still tongue in j his head.: Although unable to stop suspicion, tney may prevent proof, and thus worry through the campaign without decapitating their ticket. Wouldn't Allow Him to Lie at Statesville. While Settle was speaking at States ville he asked, "What do we need most in North Carolina?'' Some one in the crowd answered "More Vance men !" Again Settle said that the Democrats sent their rogues to the Legislature while the Republicans sent theirs to the Penitentiary, when some one in the crowd wanted to know of "him what had been dna tvitll i Belknap and Babcock, &c. Now, Settle goes about and tells that they wouldn't allow him to speak at Slatesvilfe. He should have said thev would not allow him to lie at Statesville. Gen. Sherman wants the army, in creased by an addition pf 250erujt8, but he wants them incorporated Into the old regiments and not as volun teers. He says it takes twelve months to make a good infantry soldier, under the volunteer system, and three times that- number of months to make & good cavalryman, but by recruiting them into the regular service they may be so disciplined in six weeks as ibVerfbeil&eienti field'eirvlcel In fighting Indians, General Sherman says.-discipline is of more importance than individual courage.

The Queens Speech to Parliament. Los don, Aug. 15 1876. ' My Lords and gentlemen, lam hap py to be able to release you from your attendance at Parliam ent. My rela tions with all foreicn powers are of a friendly character, and I look forward confidently1 to the maintenance of the gobtl understanding, which now pre vails. The efforts which in common with other parties. I have "made to bring abbu't a settlemeut of the differ ences unfortunately existing between the Forte and its Christian subjects in Bosnia, and Herzegovina have been hUp.erl63V8uccru7T The""cpnrlict begun "in those provinces, has been extended into Servia and Montenegro and should a favorable opportunity present itself, I shall be ready in con cert with- my allies' to offer my good offices for the purpose of mediator between the contending parties; bear ing in mind alike the duties imposed upon , me py .treaty obligations ana those winch arise from the considers- . S ' A tions oi Humanity or policy, a an- ference has arisen between my gov ernment and that of the United States, as to the proper construction of the article on the treaty of the mdhth of August, 1872, which relates to the mutual surrender of persona accused of certain offences. The inconven iences to both countries, which would follow a cessation of the practice of extradition, are great and obvious, and 1 entertain tne nope that a new ar rangement will soon be arrived at, by which the matter will be placed on a satisfactory footing. I am deeply thankful that my aear son the Prince of Wales, has returned in goed health from a lengthened journey in India. His presence in that part of my domin ions, has given occasion for the ex prfcssion of feelings of loyalty and de votion to the throne, which l highly value. In pursuance' of the power con- fered upon me. 1 have by proclama tion assumed the title of Empress of India, and in making, as regards India, this addition to the ancient style of my crown, I have desired to record on this occasion, the peculiar interest to me, and the earnest solicitude which I feel for the happiness of r my Indian people. I trust that peace and order will be re-established in the Malay Peninsula, and that the rulers of the native States will cheerfully accept the recommendations and assistance of my officers, for the better govern ment of their States. The visit to this country of the President of the Orange rree states, has resulted in a satisfac tory settlement of the long contro versy .which has existed with reference to the Province of Griqual, and an important advance has thus been made towards that friendly and cordial co-operat:on of the neighboring states, which is essential to the interest of South Africa. The conference in regard to South African affairs, in regard to which papers have already been laid before you, is now sitting in London and cannot fail to contribute largely to the settlement of the various and important questions l thank you tor the liberal supplies you have voted lor public service. An ad ditional outlay was required to place my army and navy upon a proper footing of efficiency, and the check which had been given to the advance of revenue by the comparative staena tionof trade, compelled me to propose an increase of taxation. I desire to acknowledge the readiness with which you have responded to that appearand at the same time assure you that no effort shall be wanting to keep. the ex penditure of the J country within the bounds of moderation. ; My . Lords and gentlemen, the act which you passed for the amendment of the laws rela ting to merchants shipping, will, I trust, promote the safety of our ships and seamen, without imnosine unnec essary restriction upon the conduct of of a service m the prosperity of which our national interest in so many ways are involved.'

I A young rat of: a : boot-black ; was loafing around the corner; of Griswokl and VJongress street lust alter tne storm yesterday when along came a young man in a great nurry. xxm ua,h was wet ana iop-siaea, nis nnen coat wet through, his boots covered with murf. and hia shirt ' bosom Vwilted right down to a handfulof imitation coral- studs and eighteen-cent linens He was gome to offer his professional services any boot-black would oner a "snine" u a man's boots had been soaked in the river for a month but the young man got ahead of him. He' asked : "Hoy, have you seen a girl go by here?" ' ' - - "Lots of gals passing every hour in the day," was the answer. "Yes. i know, but this-was my girl- Mary rather tall white hat white overskirt green parasol red, tie great lands ! but where is my JMary Y "Lost eh?" queried the young Napol eon. ' " Yes left me down the street -while I was buying this hat.'? "Any relashuh of yours ?" . asked the boy as he looked up and down. 'Kelation ! Why, she s my gin the one L love the one lm -going to marry. , I'll give you a quarter ts help nna her. The boy sat down on . his box, spit across the walk and meditated, ana finally said : " "1 think I saw that ere gal abont half an hour ago. "You did ! Then we are on the trail "Yes, she passeahcre, and I tell you she looked as sweet as a peach. "Yes, yes, thats the one ! .hverybody remarks how handsome she is. And the feller with her had on one of these "cut-away-off coats, diamond pinr big sleeve-buttons, cane, great big collar, and he was just looking into her eyes as if he loved her to death. "W what! gaspea the young man : "then there was some one with her?" ' Some one ? Well, I-should say "so They were locked arms, she had the Saratoga-grab on her dress, and they passed me he patted her on the cheek." "Boy boy lotk out! Mary has always been as loving as a dove and as true as one of them lamp-posts. It couldn't have been Man' !" 'Couldn't, eh ? Well, all right. You axed if I had seen her, and then go on to call me a liar. .Now I won t move peg to help find her!" "say, boy, see here? whispered the man, beckoning the lad to step into the alley behind the express omce. When they were off the street he continued "Kow, boy, be , square ana l II give you ten cents., it might have been Marv. but I can hardlv believe it She loved her George too well, or seemed to." "Is your name George ?" 1 "Yes George Henry Brown live out here eleven miles." "More pruff stronger pruff wuss and wus8: exclaimed the boy, slap ping his lee. "When that couple went by me the feller said : 'How could you think, my darling, of linking your fate to that of such an old pill as George Henry Brown ?" Just them words said he." "He did, eh? By the big Harry he called me an old pill, eh ?" . And she grinned and blushed and tittered and poked him in the ribs with her "parasol, and says she : 'George is a reglar flat but 1 was after a set o jewelry." Then he patted her on the ear, and 1 heard em talking about ice cream, sody water, preachers, certificate of marriage and a leetle cottage on a hillside. Sunthin' told me it wasn right, and you don't know how bad felt." "It's all right, bub," replied the man as he laid down ten cents. "You keep cool mum is the word. There! be tears shed in the west end of Wayne County before Saturday night or I'll be under ground ! "Goin' to hurt somebody ?" asked the shiner. "Keep cool don't foller me don' say anything. Show me the store where they sell sword-canes and brass knuck les !" About an hour after that the Chief of Police was waited upon by a George and his girl Mary. They took chairs, and George dropped his hat on the floor and inquired : Is there any law around here to punish a boy who goes and lies to you and sets you hall crazy and almos breaks up one of the lovingest, nicest, sweetest marriage engagement anybody ever heard m 7 ' He might have referred to the bo'bt- black. Settle, of North Carolina. One Settle, a North Carolina scala wag, was nominated a few months ago by the radicals there for Governor of that time honored and patriotic com monwealth. Settle commenced in the early part of the late unpleasantness to make for himself a Confederate re cord which in after years would have lifted him into an enviable niche in the temple of fame. Wanting the stamina, which is ever the inseparable accompaniment of high birth, proper education, innate principle and correct moral perceptions, he early fell from grace and becamera' scallawag an ag gressive and impudent scallawag seeking to advance his own fortunes by the aid of alien cohorts ; neighbors, friends and relatives suffering alike in his mad ambition for filthy lucre.

A. Smith Knows of Cor- ruption. Wm . A.s Sm itb called "Bill" Sm it h "for short,'' is the Republican candi-; date 'for Lieutenant-Governor. 3 Well, Smith, William or "Bill," as yon please; once refused to tell a commit-' tee of the North Carolina Legislature what he knew of corrupt means being used to secure the lease ot the JN. j. R. TL.,vpon the ground that by so doing he might criminate himself. We copy from Legislative - Document No 27? Session ... of 1871-72, the question ., and tho answer r tVi " ; . ' Question:. Do you know . of any sum of money or any other considera tion .whatever having been paia or promised to be paid, to any person in this State or out of it, for the purpose of procuring the lease of the North Carolina Railroad, or in any way con nected with said lease ? Smith's answer : That declines to answer because he believes the answer MIGHT CRIMINATE. HIMSELF, OR LEAD TO INFORMATION WHICH MIGHT CRIMINATE. Can the people choose for the posi tion next to the highest in the State a man who confesses his criminality in dark and fraudulent transactions ? Just look at the matter soberly for a moment.: it this man is . eiectea ne becomes exofficio President of the Senate, and in this capacity will ap point such committees of investigation as may be constituted. ' The lease o the North CaroKna Railroad an Smith's connection therewith will probably be overhauled ; likewise bis management of the affairs of the road. Wouldn't he be a nice man to appoint committees of investigation; besmirch ed as he is, and loaded down with the infamy of the transactions the com- mittees would be commissioned to in vestigate and report upon? It strikes us that there would be something peculiarly rotten as . well as grotesque in such a state of affairs. - The inference direct and positive is, then, that this man Smith must not be elected Lieutenant Governor. It is pleasant to think that there is little danger of this election. Wilmington Star. Talking at Table. Is cue of the very best digesters ;J there is no Ionic known equal to it, as it is of the kirul calculated to pro mote hilarity and good feeling gener ally. Most parents are prone to pro hibit their children from laughing and talking at the table; it is unphysiolog ical ; it is a cruelty. Joyousness promotes the circulation of the blood enlivens it, invigorates it, sends it tingling to the remotest "part of the system, carrying with it anima tion, vigor, lite. The louder the little ones laugh, the better ; the faster they talk the better, for then, they eat less in a given time, consequently chew their food more thoroughly. Discard controversy from the dining table. Discourage all subjects which invite political or religious rancor. Let every topic introduced be calcu lated to instruct, to interest or amuse. Do not let the mind -run on business or previous mishaps, or past disap pointments. Never tell bad news at the table, nor for an hour before. Let everything you have to communicate, be, if poesible, of a gladsome joyous hitarous character, calculated to bring out pleasant remarks or agreeable' as sociations. On the other hand never administer a reproof at the social board to either servant or child ; find fault with nothing, speak unkindly to no one. If remarks are made of the absent, let them contain some word of commendation, and which, if re peated in their hearing will kindle kindly feelings; and thus will thoughts of the Family Table come acoss the memory in after years, when we have been scattered and some laid in their final resting-place, bringing with them a sweetness of emotion which makes it a pleasure to dwell upon them. Dr. Hall. Washington Knocked Down. In 1754, Washington, then in command of the Virginia Rangers at Alexandria, awaiting the arrival of Gen. Braddock's troops, supported Mr. Fairfax in an election contest for the House of Bur gesses against Mr., afterward colonel, William Payne, of the Continental army. This seems to have been one of those rary occasions when Wash ington's hot blood got the better of his peerless judgment. Fierce words pass ed between the two gentlemen. in the market square of Alexandria, ending in an outburst of rage from Payne, in which he felled Washington to the earth. The Rangers rushed from their barracks and surrounded Payne, but Washington, with calm dignity, dis persed them. A duel seemed inevita ble. On the following day, however, Washington sent ;for Payne, and, ex tending his hand, said, with a gentle courtesy that touched the other to the heart, "Mr. Payne, to err is human. I was wrong yesterday, but if you have had sufficient satisfaction, let us be friends," Until the day of his death Col. Payne retained for Washington a deyoted and unbroken regard.
