A poor man's fight against the cause that keeps him poor, fobs him of the earnings of his hard toil, robs his children Very frequently of food and clothing .robs them of the means of being educated,, robs them andUlheir mothers of comfort and happiness and leads many of them to misery "and ruin. Yes, it Is a poor man's fight 1 at self preservation, for rescue from one of the greatest evils that ever cursed him in this or any other land, in this or any other agev A poor man's fight to free himself from a bondage worse than a bondage of chains, a bondage that makes him the slave of 'an appetite- that once formed knows no curbing, an appetite that would take the "tnread from the mouths of his hungry, chil dren, the clothes from the body of his scantily-clad wife for rum enough to appeaseiti- a bondage' which, makes him crawl np to the bar.Wbete lie once paid out the proceeds othis hard labor, and beg for little-Spirits as no starved beggar ever begged for food; a bond age that debases him and makes him lie like a beast in the gutter and feel no shame, when the power of feeling is gone; a bondage that makes him throw his life' away, ruin his body and give the devil a mortgage on his soul x eay w is a poor man s ngn ior nim- self, fofwife,: children, for home, for happiness here and happiness hereafter. As there" is a God in the eternal heav ens, woe be unto the man who from sordid and selfish motives would lead the poor man who is making this fight astray, and turn him from tbe path where he seeks sobriety, into the slums Of wretchedness and ruin. They know better. They know when they are try ing to bis-direct the poor man by their sophistries and their base appeals to class that they are leading him to ruin, that they or others in whose interest they write or talk may make money," and grow rich out of the poor man by supplying him with rum that ruins, and taking from him his hard earnings that otherwise would go to provide com forts for home and educate his children. It is a poor man's fight and will be a poor man's victory in time, if not now, and they who stand in the way of it will fall before it as the harvest falls before the scythe. They might as well try to stop the ocean's heaving by scat tering upon its waters their untruth ful, sophistical and base appeals to the credulity of unsuspecting people, as to suppress this "poor man's fight" by such deceptive means as they employ. The flow and ebb of the tide is no more cer tain than is the final triumph of this poor man's fight against whiskey, his great est enemy, and the world's greatest curse. saved run 1UE SEA. A pretty romance comes from Atlan tic City. A wealthy Calif ornian who was sojourning there, strolling along the sea shore a few evenings ago, no ticed a bather out at some distance. Soon he heard thel cry of a woman, saw two arms lifted upward and a great wave wash over the bather. Off came boots," coat, hat, and in a few minutes the almost exhausted girl for girl it was was in the strong hands of her preserver. He swam to shore with her ; gently laid her down, upon open ing her eyes she exclaimed: "Charlie!" He exclaimed: "-Nellie!" They were old sweet hearts, in Philadelphia where they lived. Bat he had gone to Cali fornia where he became rich. They met by accident thus, and the result was an arrangement for a wedding, which they both considered better than drowning. She gets a rich, gallant hus band and he gets a handsome, accom plished wife to look out on his sheep ranch and help him eat grapes in his Call foraia vineyards. Shakespeare saidthere" was "a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to fortune." There was a tide in the affairs of this which in its flood just scooped her girl up and bore her into "Charlie's" arms and into a bonanza .at the same time. "All's well that ends well."

CniEP or THE SIOTJXl Remarkable Career, of Stttlnr Boll, WaiTior and Diplomatist. New Tog Herald. i . ':X . Sitting Bull's surrender may be 'said to close one of the -mostremarkable careers in Indian history. As a lighter he undoubtedly ranks higher than the Seminole chief, Billy Bowlegs, who gave General Scott so many "rubs" in Florida. As a diplomatist he heads the;' Indian, list As a strategist and commander he has earned the title of is nothing in his life that can commend him to civilization.' A savage in the worst sense, he has despised our insti tutions and seldom missed an opportu nity to butcher and mutilate the whites who have fallen into his hands, com mitting outrages that have shocked every sense of humanity. A brief review of some of his acts, however, will prove of interest: Fourteen years ago he was what is known as a blanket Indian on tbe plains. In 1869 he began to show that bold, defiant spirit and hatred of our race which subsequently placed the na tion in mourning. At that time Gen. Henry A. Morrow was in command of the United States forces at Ft. Buford, on the Missouri river. Various depre dations were reported in . the vicinity of Buford, and these were charged to Sitting Bull. The will Indian denied all knowledge of these matters. Soon the settlers entered on a campaign of retaliation, and one of Bull's warriors was killed. This he declared an unjust act of reprisal, and avowed his inten tion of avenging the death of the In dian. Gen. Morrow hearing this arranged to meet Sitting Bull, and being con vinced that in this instance the settlers were wrong . Morrow pacified him by piling presents on the dead, pursuant to Indian usage. In so doing, however, he created a dangerous enemy. His spirit of independence became known, the bold Indians flocked around him from all quarters and he soon found himself at the head of one of the most powerful and most dangerous bands on the plains. 1 And, as his band increased in strength. Sitting Bull's arrogance and ferocity became more marked. He refused to live on a reservation, went into camp in a wild part of the country on the Yellowstone river and claimed all the land along that stream and its tributaries. Early in- the year 1875 some settlers from Montana went down the Yellowstone and built a fort on the territory Claimed by . the In dians. . Sitting Bull ordered them away. They paid no attention to him, and he sent some men and shut them up in their stockade. One of Sitting Bull's invaders was killed by the whites ; then Sitting Bull retaliated by killing two of the Montanians. This opened a war, which lasted until January, 1876. Fort Pease, as the settlers called their in closure, contained only forty-seven whites, against whom 500 Indians were sent. The siege was complete. For three months the whites kept the sav ages at bay, during which period six of their number were killed and nine wounded. The provisions at Fort Pease gave out and starvation threatened to make short work of the hardy moun taineers. It was resolved to send for help, and two men left the fort one night under the cover of darkness, and succeeded in reaching Fort Ellis after a perilous journey on foot on February 20, 1876. The alarm was given, and General Ter ry, the department commander, ordered that Fort Pease be relieved immediate ly and at all hazards, Within two days four companies of the Second United States cavalry, three companies, of Mon tana and 100 friendly Crow Indians were on the march. Sitting Bull with drew before the troops reached Fort Pease on March 6, without firing a shot. He declared his only desire was to have the country rid of the offensive white man. The Western TJolon Leases the North Western Telegraph.- New York, J uly 80. An agreement was entered in the rejrister's office here yesterday, showing that the Western Union Telegraph company had secured a 99 years lease of the North Western Telegraph of Wisconsin, operating in the States and territories and the Do minion of Canada. The agreement is dated May 7tb, 1881, and provides that the Western Union Company shall, in addition to paying 7 per cent, interest on first mortgage bonds aggregating $1,180,000, pav rental of 8100,000 for the first year and pro rata yearly increase in rent until it shall reach $150,000 by the year ending July 1896, and after this Eay the latter sum until the 99 years ave expired ; also all taxes and inter est upon the capital stock of the North Western company which is to be fixed at $2,500,000. The interest to be paid on the stock, is to be 4 per cent, the first year, 4 per cent, the second, and to be increased of 1 per cent, each succeed ing year so as to reach 6 per cent, in 1896 and continue at that rate during the remainder of the term of contract.

Please give as a marff Two children Banted Deavtb. ; Newton Enterprise. A most shocking accident occurred in this county last Saturday evening. On Friday night, Adoiphus Sigman, who lives about four miles east OfNew ton, returned from the head of the Western North Carolina ' Railroad, where he has been employed On the trestle building. Saturday evening about 7 o'clock he took from his valice a paper of blasting powder, which his wife described as being about a wash pan full, and a piece of fuse. Sitting near the door, he opened the paper and placed it on the floor beside him. He took the fuse from the package and told his wife to bring him a coal of fire so that he could show his two . little daughters, aged two and four years, who were standing near the powder, the working of the fuse, said he would light it and throw it in the yard. The fire was brought, and immediately on touching the fuse a spark fell into the powder and a fearful explosion imme diately followed. The father was blown into the yard, and the two child ren -were burned into a perfect crisp, from head to foot. Joe Wilson, color ed, who lives about a quarter of a mile from Sigman's, heard the report, fol lowed by fearful screams and cries for help. He and his wife ran to the place as quick as possible and found the fath er and mother in the yard extinguish ing the clothes of the ehildren which were almost consumed, while in the house, the beds and other most inflama ble articles of furniture were just be ginning to burn. These were extin guished without very serious damage. Dr. McN-ail was sent for but could give but little relief to the suffering child ren. . The younger died about 12 o'clock at night and the older at daylight the next morning, and were buried on Mon day. ' Mr. and Mrs. Sigman were both severely burned, but neither seriously. Comment is unnecessary. Of fatal ac cidents from the careless use of pow der this is one of the saddest which we have ever known. . MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH JULY 30. 1881. PEODUCX.
