A cat's mouth Is like a free show-open to waul. When two dentists are partners they rarely quar relthey pull together. It Is said that Edison Is hard at work on a patent newspaper, in which every man's advertisement can be placed at the head of the column and next to reading matter. Adam set the fashion of bridal tours when he took Eve on a journey from Eden just after their wedding. The wife of a wealthy and retired grocer to her artistic dressmaker: "Dress me in such a manuer that my vulgarities will pass for mediaeval affecta tions." "Whales are becoming numerous In the ocean," says an exchange. We like a statement that gives the full facts, as this one does. It relieves one of the suspicion that whales are becoming numerous on the prairies, or that they are Infesting the woods or hiding in caves in the mountains. People now know where to be on tbe lookout for whales. For Superintendent of Public Instruc tion To the Editor of The Observer: As nominations seem in order, we would call attention to our countyman, Capt. Win. L. Twitty,-as one eminently suited to fill the office of Superinten- dent of Public Instruction. He is a State University, of with Judge J. A. Gil Sloan and Col. J. T. graduate of the the class of 1858, mer, Hon. John Moorehead, of Greensboro, Gen. B. D, Johnston, Col. H. C. Jones and Mai. C. Dowd, of Charlotte, Capt. S. B. Alex ander, of Mecklenburg, and many other prominent men of the State, who know nim to be a high-toned Christian gen tleman, and whose attainments in learning are not surpassed by any other in the State. Capt. Twitty has been engaged in teaching nearly all of his life, since manhood, and feels as great an interest in education as does perhaps any other man in North Carolina, This position would be one congenial to his feelings and his ripe scholarship gives him a peculiar fitness for the position, and we believe his nomination and election would give pleasure to his numerous friends throughout the State, and that his name would give strength to the ticket, as well as bring honor to the party that elects him. . This is writ ten without his approval, as the captain is altogether too modest a man to per mit his name to be put forward fox any position, whjch, fact in these days of office-seeking is an additional merit. Belac. Rutherford county, May 20, 1880, Xl aifirhajs Bill tfeat featg Passed.

The Codger took the young man and brushed a path across the street with him, and then, after crowding him into an empty fish barrel and yanking him out again, said : "A clam wouldn't be playing With you this way. That's the difference 'twixt me an' a clam !" The young man had no more questions to ask.

C, TUESDAY, MAY WIPED OVTBY ATIDAL WAVE An Extraordinary Bogus Dispatch .That its Author Never Sent. Recently a telegraph operator named Thomas Holister was arrested in San Francisco by a Chicago detective. Hol ister had formed a plot to cut the telegraph-wires uniting New York and San Francisco, and then send East a dispatch, dated at some station in the Sierras, saying that a tidal wave, fol lowed by an earthquake, had destroyed San Francisco and Virginia City. The object of the plot was to cause a panic in .Pacific Mail stock and Comstock securities in the New York market, the panic to be taken advantage of by confederates. The New York 8un says: "For several months the Western Union knew that wires were being tam pered with, and they sent for the Chica go detective. He travelled along the line for several weeks, and finally came to a clue at a spot a few miles east of Battle Mountain. At this spot the wire had been cut, and a piece that could readily be disconnected bad been let in. The detective further found an insula ted wire concealed in the -grass and sage-bush near by. An end of it long enough to reach the main line was coil ed up. The wire ran north, and the detective, following it for a mile, came upon an excavation in the ground, which was roofed in with branches and turf, and which contained, buried in one corner, several Leyden jars, strips of copper and bottles of aciil. The detective concealed himself near by and watched the place for several days, but without re sult. "One day at Battle Mountain he saw in a newspaper an account of the ar rest for a breacli of the peace of a tel egraph operator whom he had known in Chicago. The detective, from what he knew of the man, was prompted to go to San Francisco and look after him. He visited Holister's room, and there found what confirmed his suspicions that it was Holister who had tampered with the Western Union wires. Holis ter was arrested, and made confession. In his room was found the following, wntteD upon a piece of foolscap pa per: " 'At 10 o'clock this morning a tidal wave from the Pacific ocean swept over San Francisco, wiping out the entire city in ten minutes. It advanced in land and rose until the waters were ten feet deep in Sacramento and Stockton. Accompanying this oceanic disturbance was a tremendous shock of earthquake, which was felt most severely at Vir ginia City. The mines on the Com stock are a mass of ruins. No fur ther particulars can be gained at pres ent' "This, Holister said, he had intended to send as a dispatch to the Associated Press, The decline in Comstock secur ity had delayed the carrying out of his de sign. He made his headquarters in San Francisco, and was only waiting for a rising market. The apparatus found near Battle Mountain had been placed there by him, and he intended to cut the wires and send his dispatch at that point. Another Story About Mr. Tilden. Leavenworth Times. The story of Tilden's love is Jthe sad dest page in all the long history of his eventful life. Let him tell the people how in the first bloom of early man hood he was betrothed to a beautiful lady of one of the old families of New York ; how her parents decreed that on account of her youth she should spend two years in Europe before her marriage; how they .pledged eternal fidelity to each otheiyWd registered their, vows at parting that no matter how many years might intervene each heart should beat sacredly for the other till a kindlier fate should reunite them ; how the Joved one sailed away in the famous but ill-fated steamship wPresi dent," from which no tidings have ever yet been brought back ; how annually, on the day that farewells were spoken, he repairs to the seashore, and listening to the sad murmur of the waves re news his vows, and how, through all the temptations that have come with a long life of influence, wealth. and power, the pledge ot his youth has been faith fully ko'jt and his heart remains sacred ly true to his first love while the yea,rp glide by. j JWi.. . The Fashionable Woman. The late Lord Lvtton was fond of re lating a little anecdote as an illustra tion or one characteristic or hign civili zation. It was thisi Lord short ly after his marriage, said to the author of "Pelham " "My wife cannot be a lead-. er of fashion.." "Why not, ray lord? She has virtue, beauty, rank, fortune and establishment." "You hit upon the very ywm p?tj se s virtuous. 4. ne jeaq iu iosmon is uesuiweu uy uie praises of certain fashionable men. To obtain these praises they must be earn ed. The givers must be admitted to familiarity, which, if it stop short of destruction, which it rarely does, must carry with it the reputation of vice. lioa torbia my wife should ne Drougnt to this! therefore she must be content to be classed with the humdrums." I repeat the anecdote, for I consider its application patter now than ever it was. Against What iew York Sun. Against the traditionary usage ITT I ' J A i 1 ''' .
