But he carried a pistol spite of that, Ana nis age was sweet nrteen. Wild tales he had read till they fairly made The blood through his young veins shoot. Of "The Red Revenger," "Dare Devil Dick," Ana "Tne Arkansas Wild Ualoot." Hence rage at his playmate took the form Of a nerce, heoric ire : So his weapon he drew and peppered the Jegs Of little John Mclntyre.

Philadelphia belles at Cape May say : 'Bring me me hat ; I'll walk for a couple of squares on the beach with me mother." A precocious little girl surveyed a dusty ayenue the other day, and remarked to her mother, "Mamma, I should think if I was made of dust I should get muddy inside when I drink." The Republican Congressional commit tee don't desire any farther fooling. Those voluntary contributions must be made forthwith.

Wife at the window, her ma at the door ; you all know how it is who have been there before. An English medical authority says the man who blows the big horn4 in a band rarely lives beyond a period of three years. This is about two years, eleven months and twenty-nine days longer than his next door neighbor wants him to live. Norristown Herald. A Chicago young man having asked to be excused from jury service in a murder trial, through fear that he would lose his position if he served, the judge declared that he would fine and imprison for contempt any person who should discharge an employee for such a reason. Hon Geo H Williams, of Oregon, Attor ney General of the United States under President Grant, says there is a general feel ing as far as his observation has extended that Gen Grant should receive the Republi can presidential nomination, and his opin ion is that if Grant is nominated he will be the next President. With the ex-Attorney General the wish is doubtless father to the thought. Particulars of the Arrival of the Liberian Immi grants. . B Williams' letter in the Charleston News and Courier. By several neat tacks the Azor had been brought close into shore, and one by one her passengers went over the sides which had confined them for so long, disposing themselves as snug- y as possible among the baggage in the boats, amid a vast deal of vocifer ous swearing and gabbling from the Kroomen. ihe Liiberians had some how become possessed with the idea that the Azor's people were generally independent capitalists, coming out to invest their funds in the country. Consequently there was some disap pointment at the appearance ot the emigrants, which, to put it mildly, was not suggestive of wealth. They were well received and welcomed at the landing, however, and immediately conducted to the houses prepared for their reception in different parts of the town, what furniture they had along being borne on the heads or Jiroo boys. Whatever else may be said of the Monrovians, they certainly dis played great kindness to the strangers. who were in many instances totally destitute of provisions, sending them cooked meals and delicacies for the Bick liberally and continuously: In this way only was suffering avoided. This was no light matter, by the way, as provisions are learmiiy nign ana hard to get. The people in the coun try seem never to think of producing anything to eat beyond their own lm mediate wants, and hardly that. Al though there seems to be plenty of cattle, they are usually owned by the natives, who never kill them unless they are obliged to do so, as cattle, wives, brass kettles and iron bars serve them iust as bonds, stocks and real estate do Europe and American mon eyed men, as permanent investments, and outward and visible signs of wealth. Cassada, the great staple of the country, sells at 50c per bushel, a bushel of the roots being about equal to a bushel of sweet potatoes ; yams sell at the same price. Fresh meat is almost impossible to get. JSven chick' ens are exceedingly scarce, and very small ones sell at zoc each, iergs are 8c apiece by the dozen. American flour is $14 per barrel. American pork is $28 per barrel. English canned meats and vegetables are 50c per can English onions bring 12c per pound. That is about all the Monrovian bill of fare, and it is largely procured from English mail steamerswhich nominally pass twice a week. A Description of the Independent, Reidsville Times. For ourself we have no faith or polifc cal respect whatever for them. There is nothing positive about an mdepen den except that he wants office.' His very aspect is haggard, his clothes hanar loose, and r he looks uncertain whether he has his own coat or some bodv else's. He talks out of both cor ners of his mouth, and his frantic at tempt to ride both sides of a sapling would laugh a funeral procession out of countenance.'

STATE HEWS. : Asheville professes to be full of vis itors. The grand lodge of Good Templars of tbe State meets next week at New berneTi A coon was treed in the streets of Wilmington, Thursday. Fact, says the Review. The Review says the water in the sound near Wilmington is so hot that it is scalding the crops to death. ' Maj J M Blair, the well known ho tel ist, is now caterer of the Swanna noa Hotel at Asheville. Ground was broken Wednesday pre paratory to the building of the Sec ond Preebyterian, church of Baleigh. Hon Jeese J Yeates, Capt Octavius Coke and Mr Jas E Moore have been speaking, the past week, in Beaufort county. Forty thousand watermelons have been shipped North so far this season by Mr Coburn, a large trucker near Beaufort. Col Duncan K McEae, who is on a visit to Wilmington, will deliyer a lec ture for the benefit of the Whiting Rifles, Tuesday night. In Asheville last Friday, as the Pio neer states, Geo Bierunsky and G W Stepp, mechanics, had a fight. K cut S's ear in two with a saw and made a severe wound on his arm. Salem Press: The Young Men's Christian Association of recent organi zation, is rapidly increasing in num bers. Over 60 members are enrolled, and the association is conducted on non-sectarian principles, free to all. Salem Press : On last Friday, during a severe thunder storm, Miss jou Crouch, in the employ of Mr Jo Jones', of West Bend, Yadkin county, met with a sudden death. She was engag ed in ironing and had stepped to the door, when she was instantly killed. At Hookerton, Greene county, on the 23rd, crowd of negroes jumped on Elijah Parrott, a colored Demo crat, and were near beating him to death, when he drew a pistol and shot three of them. The correspondent of the Baleigh News, who furnishes these facts, alleges that Parrott acted solely in self-defence. Greensboro New North Slate: We understand that the law school of Judges Dick and Dillard will open on the first Monday in August. A large number of applications for admission have been sent in, and there is prom ise of a good attendance at the next ses sion. Prof Kerr, the State Geologist, has been to Bald Mountain. Th e Asheville Pioneer says he agrees with Prof Clarke that there is no limestone foundation underneath the gneiss. The last theo ry about the disturbances is therefore erroneous, if these scientists be cor rect. Washington Press : One Bill Brown, on Thursday last, attempted to com mit rape upon a child about 9 years of age, by the name or Jackson, living about four miles from town. Brown went to the house for the purpose of borrowing a shovel, and finding no one at home but the child, committed the deed. He had a hearing before the magistrate on Saturday, and the evi dence was so conclusive of guilt that he has been committed to. jail to await the Superior Court. STiTE POLITICAL ITEMS. Henry T Farmer is an independent candidate for Senator in the counties composed of Haywood, Transylvania and Henderson. There is some talk of Tourgee run ning for Congress in the Greensboro district. The Radicals think that Winston, the greenback candidate, will draw off enough votes from bcales to give them a chance. Wilmington Star : Giles Mebane ey idently wants something, liive him a bone. He says he will not interfere with theTeIection in any way, and intf mates very clearly that it elected as an independent he will gladly serve. The Asheville Pioneer, Kepublican organ, says: In strong Republican counties disorganization is as marked as in the most ultra Democratic. The Republicans of Wake. Edgecombe and Warren are as much divided as the Democrats of Buncombe. Burke or Cabarrus. The Silver Dollar. Richmond Whig. There have been many eyil prophe cies about the silver dollar, and even its best friends have feared that the en mity of Secretary Sherman would make it a failure as a means of relief to the people. But since the 17th inst the United States Treasury has received orders from various parts of the coun try for over $1,000,000. Additional orders are being received dailyy show ing that the people only need slight encouragement in order to take kind ly to the. standard silver dollar. The Treasurer says he hopes to place in circulation at least four; million stan dard silver dollars during the next three months. In regard to the charge that secretary Sherman is permanent' ly retiring the one and two dollar notes as last as they are received in exchange for silver, he is reported to hare said t MThe Treasury is Making no effort to reduce the amount of ones and twos. We issue ones and twos to whoever wants them in payment of any lawful demand against the govern ment, if a draft for f 100,000 was Tire sented, and it was wanted in ones and twos," we would pay them."

"Wnat nature lias thus denied, art irrnst bo called upon to furnish. It can be done: it is done daily. Prof. w. E. Hagan placed beauty within the reach of every un blessed daughter of Eve when he discovered that surprising article known in fashionable circles as the true secret or Deauty, ana cauea The Maonolia Balm is a sure device for creating a pure and blooming complexion. It conceals all natural blemishes in the most sur prising and effective manner. It removes all roucrhness, eruptions, redness, blotches, freckles, and tan with magical power. It drives away all evidences of fatigue . and ex citement. It makes the plainest face beautiful. If. gives the complexion a dazzling purity and makes the neck, face, and arms appear graceful, rotund, and plump. It makes a matron of 35 or 40 look not more than SO years old, and changes the rustic maiden into a cultivated city belle.
