HJPUBLI3HKD DULY EXCEPT MONDAY BT CHAS. It. JONES, . Editor and Proprietor. TEkSbed at ths Fostoffigx is CHABLOTT, N. C, AS :.K0OtO CLASS MATTOB. ' f WOOD MANUFACTURES. Dr. Charles W. Dabney, Jr. '.read a paper before the Watauga Club of Raleigh, recently, showing how very few of the articles of wooden manu facture in daily use, sold in that city are made there. The paper would cover thd case in every town in North Carolina practically if not literally. There has been some progress made in the manu facture of farm imple ments, but the number made at home as compared with the number im ported is insignificent. The Northern manufBcturers have one advantage, and but one. Tney have the capital and use machinery which, turns out rapidly and at small cost, compared with hand work. If the capital were found in this section for similar in vestment and similar output, the ads vantage would all be on this side with its cheaper timbers and greater varieties. If the money that is an nually sent out of the State to pay for articles of wooden manufacture, and wood and iron combined, were kept at home and invested in - the manufacture of these articles every central point in the State would have its manufactures from which not only our Own - people, but the people of surrounding States, could be supplied with as good, if not better and cheaper implements, than they now send abroad for and pay a larger profit upon. Cotton once went to the mills, but now the mills are corns ing to the cotton, so the timber is now going to the manufacturers but the time is coming when the manufac tories will go to the timber. ; ' Diversified industries is what the . South wants, and what the South LOOKING AFTER HER TREES. : Pennsylvania is one of the States which has experienced some of the ill effects of the indiscriminate slaughter of forest trees and there is a ' disposition now, though late in the day, to protect the forests and en courage the growth of. trees. One of the measures suggested in the legisla ture is the exemption from taxation of twenty acres of forest. . This is but a very small measure of encourage ,ment but still it shows that legisla tures are beginning to give their ' attention to a subject which should have had that attention long ago, and are beginning to show that they have some conception of the value of the forests. Pennsylvania does not need her forests as a source of sup , plies of fuel, for the abundance of coal in that State makes it cheap enough, but she does or will need it for other purposes, and especially as a protec tion to the soil, from the storms and rigor of winter, and from the inunda tions of her river lands when winter's snows melt under a warm sun. It is alleged that the freshets in early spring in that region, now-of such frequent occurrence, are mainly at tributable to the rapid melting of the snow exposed to the action of the sun in consequence of the cutting down of the trees that in earlier years gave protection. This one fact alone, i: there were no other reason, consider ing the vast amount of damage done, would be a sufficient reason, why more care should be given to the protection of the forests in that tion. , '"- HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, The Dar Spent JHainfr in Discussing " the River and Harbor Bill. - Washlmgton, Jan. 31.

As the bank had a lqng line of depositors and every thing was considered absolutely safe. The failure caused great excitement.

A New Anncio Appointed. Rome, Jan. 31. Vatican has ap pointed Bishop Runercella, of Uhiete Panal Nuncio at Madrid, to super cede Monsignor Rampallo, Del Tin daro. .. This action is considered in diplomatic circles to be significant. It is declared semi omciauy tnao tne Vatican was induced to make the charge for reasons, first of which is said to be the necessity which is felt for having represented in Madrid by one of its ablest theologians, because of the growing Politica ecclesiastical nature of the debates ia the Spanish Cortes. The second reason given for the change is tne recent resignation of Signor Boquer from the position of secretary to dpanish Embassy at the Vatican.

A man Who Couldn't Account for tbe Envelopes With hi Ilandwritin; Upon Them. J Tnwnnw Jan. 31. A man giving the name of Newbold, was arrested at the central station of the Midland Railroad at Derby today, with dyna mite in his possession. He declined to give his history for the past month. Ha was examined, before a magis trate: Evidence was produced against him in the shape of letters received from the south of England threaten ing io blow up the town hall in Derby. He admitted that the handwriting on the envelopes containing the letters was his. i One letter aescnoea a piot for the destruction by dynamite of the town hall, When asked to ex plain away this evidence Newbold said he could not, although he insisted that he was innocent of any wrong. He said he replied to several adver tisements about the time of the date qn the envelopes and said the envel--opes he had used in these replies must have fallen into bad handstand again used, and in this way came into pos session of the ponce.

At ne time tne letter was written and at the time of his arrest Newbold was employed in the Derby shop of the Midland railroad company and he regularly wore the ordinary clothes of the workingmen In person he is of dark complexion and,of short thick set figure. ; Derby town hall has been placed under special police protection 'and the offi cials of the Midland railway company are using great vigilance to traco out all clews of the discovered conspiracy. Orders have been sent from London to - detain and search all suspicious persons found travelling over the Midland road. . Effort to Swindle an Insurance Com paar. ' New London, Conn., Jan. 31.- -Geo. F. 'Marshall, local agent for the Un derwriters, has discovered that the schooner Sarah Quinn,; from Rich mond with pig iron, which went ashore on tne w est uiump - Jbisher s island sound, was put there purpose ly in hope of defrauding the insurace company. The vessel is not in a dan gerous position yet. The captain contracted with the wrecker to take the schooner off for 50 per cent sal' va'ge. It is believed the scheme was concocted before the schooner left Richmond, and but for the investiga tion or Marshall the insurance would have been collectedon the stores and effects that were . not on tbe vessel. freight rates collected that were not earned and tnree tourtns or the ves sel would have been sold to the Un derwriters for more than the value of the whole vessel. The capatin had previously given -the crew liberty on shore During their absence he had sold 5,000 pounds of the cargo. - ' . A Sorry Showing. St Louis Bet nb'Ican. There were exported from New York last year 43,000,000 bushels of American grain in 1100 steamships and not one or tnese vessels was American. In addition to this 2,500, 000 bushels of grain was taken out from the same port in 101 sailing ves sels, and only two of these were American. Of the 1100 steamships taking out cargoes of graLi, 661, or more than one half, were British and 218 were German. Or the 101 sail ing vessels tne greater number were Austrian Italian and Portuguese. That only two American vessels should be distinguished in this migh ty procession of ocean ships going out of an American port laden with American grain is certainly a humili ating illustration of the decline of our shibDing in the last twentv-five vears. It - nhows how insignificant we are abroad. The Germans, who hardly had a place on , the ocean a quarter of a century ago, now send 216 steam ships to New Ycrk for cargoes of American gram, even Italian and Portugese ships carry more of our loreign commerce tnan our own ships do. We sometimes flatter our selves that we are dealing heavy blows at British trade through a pro tective tariff which keeps out British goods and reserves the home market to our own manufacturers ; but the British can afforcLto be satisfied with the arrangement when it surrenders the carrying of our products to their ships and forces us to pay them $75,000,000 in freight money for the service. We have built up home manufactures, indeed, but it has been at the cost of a shipping which once covered every sea. Silly Talk About surer. Baltimore Sun. ". ";. The continual coinage of the silver dollar, according to our neighbor the Times, wili visit its mischief, not on the banks and the capitalists and the speculators, but on the people, and most : heavily on those who are the r"Uet able to bear the added burden Tie strong men can orotect them selves, and win. it is the relatively weak who will suffer, and a Congress made up ot Kiands cannot save them. The men and women who have noth ing to sell but the labor of their hands -will be hurt most soreb . This sort of talk is what helps the cause of silver, it is so transparent lv groundless that it refutes itself. The people who are going to lose when silver shall have driven out gold are bankers and other creditors, who will be paid in money of less value than that which they -lent. Working people fix their wages from day to day, and when the dollars shrink they will demand and get more of them. Quite as absurd, however. is. the talk indulged in on the other side, by some of the advocates of silver. For example, the chairman of a sil ver association in Colorado writes to Senator Sherman in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of the stand ard dollar, and gives as a reason "We certainly need more circulating medium to prevent the periodical de pressions in an Dusiness euierprioco such as is now prevailing." Aud this while there is over $50,000, 000 of gold, silver and legal tenders lying idle in bant vaults in tnis city alone! - . A Compliment to Mr. Smith. Columbus. O . Jan. 31.

Jan. 31.-The nat ural gas explosion today occurred . in three buildings, tne iron (Jity Hotel, tbe meat shop of Mrs. Hammersdor fer and the saloon of Geo. Mueller on the opposite side of the street.

She is badly burned, and , cannot re cover. The second explosion was in Morris' cellar. Mrs. Morris is badly bruised, and the people in the saloon badly shaken up. The hird explo-' 8ion was in Mueller's, and a number of persons were injijrod. XA. hand car was thrown from the trace by tne second i explosion. Scarcely, a passenger escaped injury Morris & Mullers houses were, badly wrecked and every house within a square was more or less damaged. There is intense excitement and a gang was formed to tear up the pipes. It is thought the loss on the building and stock will be $15,000 or $20,000. Fifteen oji twenty persons were injured. .

Directly under the motto is, in pencil, plainly written, "Except the cook." Evidently upon some voyage during the existence of this bark some poor unfortunate cook had call ed down upon his devoted head the displeasure of the inmates of this cabin. : Guarding Against Dynamiter.

I have used Mrs. Joe Person's Reme dy, aad it is the finest medicine I ever used for Rheumatism. For more than twenty years I have been afflicted1 with muscular Rheumatism, and had tried every known remedy, but without avail. I was often so bad off and suf fered so much that I could not lie down, but had to be propped up in bed. I had been subject to these severe at tacks for twenty years.' I tried Mrs. Person's Remedy last spring, and am perfectly, cured. It is the best medicine in Hhe world, I think No words of mine can express the benefit I have de-1 rived from its use. I suffered from pal pitation of the heart upon the least ex ertion.' Of that I am perfectly relieved. My health is now perfect, and it is all rowing to Mrs Joe Person's Remedy. I am strong and well, and can take ex tended exercise without fatigue I ad vise all who need a Tonic, or are suffer ing with Rheumatism or Eczema, to take it.

To thk Public: t have been a fearful sufferer for fifteen years, most of the time with what has been called Eczema, or Salt Rheum. Psoriasis and Lepra, and the like, and have always been told that there was no cure for me, and have been so dis couraged that I had as soon die as live. -I have been so badly afflicted sometimes that there was not the smallest spot from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet that was not diseased and as red as crimson. It would commence In small white spots, which had a silvery appearance, but were not deep, but if I attempted to heal them, or soon after their nnt appearance, they would burn and ran together until there was a complete dry, red scale, which would become so inflamed as to crack and lock fiery and angry, and the burning sensation would be al most Intolerable. I was at times so lame that I could scarcely get about, and could uot dress myself without assist ance. I have tried many remedies, and have paid $100 in a single instance to a physician, but have ever obtained only temporary relief. Although helped for a time, I soon relapsed again to be as badly troubled as ever, and during the winter of 18tfl and 1682 1 suffered so much as to be entirely discouraged. Last June, however, I was advised by Elder and Mrs. L. C McKinstry. who are well known la these regions, to try your Coticuba remedies; and I felt somehow a little coufage, from their opinion of them, to try their virtue. About the second week of July last I commenced taking the remedies, and within six weeks I began to see a permanent improvement, until now (Oct 1) I am KNit as good as new, and my nosh Is as the flesh of a child. ; ' I J i MBS.
