JONES, Editor and Proprietor. rjjEnTra5b at TH8 Poerogncw in Chaklotte, N. ., AS t BOOND CLASS Uattsk. : OV ERT A HPi (j CHILDREN. Dr. John Van Bibber, of Baltimore, has taken up the gauntlet in behalf of school children, and protests against tho methods in vogue in some of the schools in forcing children in their studies, to which he attrib utes many of the mental disorders and bodily ailments now not uncom men among children, and until re -cemtly unknown among them. Speak ing of the scliools of Baltimore he says that the number of children who suffer from nervousdiseases increases ; that not only chorea is the frequent and ordinary form of this trouble, but that neuralgia, insomnia and headache, formerly thought to be long almost exclusively Jto adult life, are now very prevalent among chil dren, v.-;" - His conclusions are that tho abuse of education, by over pressure in the public schools has a great influenc3 nn t.hfl increase of these maladies, if it is not the active cause of their pro duct ion, and further says: "It can be - proved that functoinal disturbances of the nervous system among children have lately been much increased in Baltimore, and that the only rational cause for this mobid development is the present tendency to; commence too early with education,'and to force its progress by injurious competitive examinations." To educate children is good, but in the desire to educate7 nature's laws should not be entirely ignored, nor should the young brain be injured, and Ihe health of the child under mined in the ill directed effort to hurry it through books, to reflect credit on the teacher or the so called , system. There is too much mere memorizing and parrot teaching in the public schools in this country,. and too little attention given . by by those in .charge to the physical and -mental capacity of the child, which is expected when placed in a class to hold its-position and keep up with the stronger and sprightlier, or fall back into the lower grade which spirited children struggle 1 to avoid as a species of humiliation. There is room in this country for such men as Dr. Bibber, who are do ing a good work in calling attention - to the blunders in the school house, and in protecting the little ones from the overtasking that ruins. REMOVALS FROM OFFICE. The question of removals from of fice in view of President Cleveland's civil service declarations, is one of considerable interest now' especially to those who seek Presidential ap pointments which come within the tenure of office act or of civil service regulations. The President has the power to make removals, or in other words, to suspend such officers as in his opinion may be incompetent or unfit for the positions which they hold. The Senate passes upon his aC tion when tne name of tne successor is sent in and approves or disap proves by the confirmation or rejec tion of the one appointed. The re fusal to confirm is a declaration on the part of the Senate that there was not sufficient cause for the removal of the incumbent. ' The Senate being now Republican will probably insist upon holding the administration to : the letter of the law, if there was a disposition to depart from it, and hence Mr. Cleveland will, from pojicy if not from other motives, move slowly and avoid conflict which would place him at a' disadvantage. The following is' the law relating to removals and suspensions": Sec. 1768. During any recess of the Senate the President is authorized, in his-discretion, to suspend any civil officer appointed by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate, ex cept judges of the courts of the United States; until the end of the next sea-, sion of the Senate, and to designate some suitable person, subject to be removed, in his discretion, by the designation of another, to perform the duties of such suspended officer in the meantime; and the person so designated shall take the oath and give the bond required by law to be taken and given by the suspended officer, and shall, during the time he performs the duties of such officer, be entitled to the salary and emolu-. ments of the office, no part of which shall belong to the officer suspended. The President shall, within thirty days after the commencement of each -session of the Senate, except for any office which in his opinion ought not to be filled, nominate persons to fill all vacancies in office which existed at the meeting of the Senate, whether temporarily filled or not, and also in the place of all officers, suspended ; and if the Senate, during such session, shall refuse to advise and consent to an appointment in the place of any suspended officer, - then, and not otherwise, the President shall nomi nate another parson as soon as praq- ticable to the same session of the Sen ate for the office. A West Virginia Tragedy. CHi&iisTOK, W. Ve., March 11 A frightful tragedy is reported from Wise county. Martha Reynolds, the belle of her neighborhood, engaged herself to Charles Henton and Bud Mitchell. She was unable to tell which she preferred, Understanding this state of affairs Henton persuaded her to elope with him. They were quietly married and returned to the bride's home: That night they had an old-fashioned dance and all the neighbors were invited. Bud Mitchs . ell insulted the bride and reproached her for her fickleness, finally slaps . ping her. The husband rushed in and gave Mitchell a beating.

The fol lowing replies were made by several cabinet officers to a question as to their position on the subject of civil service reiorm: Secretary Bayard I am on record on the subject of civil service reform. he said, and don't propose to abandon the views 1 expressed during the campaign now. ; 1 am ' heartily in favor of civil service reform, as are all the members of the administra tion, so far as Iknow. Secretary Whitney-AU of the ad ministration, he said, in answer to an inquiry is committed through ihe President to the civil service law, and 'I I S til .1 ma win aououess coasistenuy aanera to it. It is one of the easiest laws to evade, however, and much will de pend upon the construction placed upon some or its provisions after cab inet consultation, which, you know, we have not had. I have no doubt, however, that it will be a natural and unstrained interpretation of it that will be adopted, and that its spirit, as well as letter will be faith fully earned out. . Secretary Endicott In accepting the nomination for Governor of Ifasv aachu setts last fall, I placed myself on record as a civil service reformer. and also in favor of the honest silver dollar. . I asserted that when the Democrats came into, power their policy should be to insist on a faith ful discharge of public duties and the retention of all faithful employes in office, no matter what their politics might oe, so long as the latter had not been .preeminent over their duties. My record is made, and of course I shall stand by it. Secretary Manning Civil reform! Oh, yes; I am in favor of it; all the administration is; but you cannot interview an omcer, you know.

The unusuauy early hour at which the ministers met at once attractea attention, ana xer ports quickly spread that the crisis was being considered.

The Remarkable Discovery of a Wash- tagtoa Astronomer. - They say that the chief astronomer at the Washington observatory was dreadfully sold a short time , since. A wicked boy. -whose-Sunday school experience seems only to have made him more depraved, caught a nre-fly and stuck it, with the aid of some mucilage, in the centre of the largest lens of the telescope. j : : - That night wnen the astronomer went to work he perceived a blaze of light apparently in the heavens, and what amazed him the more was that it would give a couple of spurts , and then die out,only to burst forth again in a second or two. He examined it carefully for a few minutes and then began to do sutm to find where in the; heavens that extraordinary star was placed, , He thought; he found the locality , and next morning he telegraphed all over the unverse that he had discovered a new and re -markabla star ot the third magnitude ,in Orion. ; In a day or two all the astronomers of Europa and America were studying Urion; they gazed at it for hours .until they ' were mad, and then they began telegraphing to the man in Washington to . know what he meant. The discoverer took another look and found that the new star had moved eighteen billion miles in twenty-four hours, and upon ex- amining it closely he was alarmed to perceive that it had legsl ! When he went on the dome next morning to to polish up the glass he ' found the lightning bug. And they say he went into it with a whole-souled sin cerity and vigorous enery. The bill for telegraphing dispatches amount ed to $2,600, and now the astronomer wants to nnd that boy. j He wishes to consult with him about some thing. .vrO'-. -' j r .;-'' The Cowboy on Roller Skates.

"I may look strong, but I am Quite young -only 14 months old, and am growing rapidly, and am mighty weak In the knees, I am doing the work which yon h ive failed to do, although you are 60 years old. Tou are old, and tough, and rich, and dont require a support. But what causes you to look so thin of late ?" v " v " "Well, I hardly know," replied the Anti-Potash Boom. "My physician Wis me that my abilities have been over-rated, and that while trying to whip out an opposition by boast and brag, that I have only proven my Inability to cope with what he calls my superiors. Old age Is also creeping on me having fought near 60 years before any one knew I was llvpag and now I am unable to perierm feats that others are doing. I am collapsed; my friends have turned aganlst me and call me names, and oh Lardy, how sick I become at the very sight of B. B. B. Hold my head while Idle." A- 8II1XBE.4M. .' .

I have used Mrs. Joe Person's Reme dy, and it is the finest medicine I ever used for Rheumatism For more than twenty years I have been afflicted 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 is 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 the world, I think No words of mine can express the benefit I have de 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 owing 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. I was induced to try it by it having cured my little grandson of MRS. 8. M. HOWELL. Facts are Stubborn Things. From Tarboro Southerner July 17. . While visiting Tarboro, oa July 8th, I was re auebted to visit Miss Mary K Scaton. seven mile from town, who for seven weeks had been suffering excruciating agony from some blood poison, sup posed to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her request, I went to see her, and expected to see great suffering, but was not prepared for the scene that met me. I found the, patient broken out all over with an eruption which had occasioned such in tense Itching that during the paroxysms she was perfectly uncontrollable, and had scratched and torn herself to pieces until her aeon? was Indes cribable. During these paroxysms she would have to be held, and her screams could be heard a long distance. She would pray for death to come to her renei; ner wnoie ooay was purple and raw, and ex uded a yellow water which satuarted the bed through several thick qullta that day she had pos sessed herself of a thick sutta nercha coarse comb and before she could be prevented, had raked her self with it with sueh force as to break out some of the teeth, thus adding to her agony. She was at tended by as good physicians as TarbortTkud her neighborhood could afford, but their treatment af forded only occasional relief by outward appUca- cauons, ana no permanent oeneni, as tne parox ysms continued to return with increasing violencA. Upon viewing the condition of the patient I called thefamlly together and told them to bear witness that I promised NOTHiNe. I could not tell whether my Bemedy would relieve or not, as I had never even Imagined such suffering, but it could do ho narm ana mignt do gooa. l men gave her a large dose of the Bitters, and as soon aa the paroxysm was over. I anomied her whole bodv with the Wash. while dolDg so she would call out, "Oh. that does feel so ood.' I then save her another doae of tha Bitters, and she was soon In a sweet sleep. Ieoa- HQoeauua veaxmeni, ana whenever xnencoing would recur, I would sponge the body instantly with the Wash, which, in everrmstanoe allayed Um Irritation or Itching, and warded off those violent paroxysms. .She did net have an attack during the day, and by 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the disease was under perfect control. The Itching would recur, but every time was allayed by the ap- pucauoQ oi uw wasa. i ten ner weeneaaay easi and comfortable, with dlrecUona for the trealmen' to be continued during the night, and aa long aa was necessary. I came, again to see her to-day, Saturday, the 12th, and found ber up and dremad, and In the regular prosecution "of her household duties. She is entirely relieved, although she will, of course, have to take the Bitten seme time to completely eradicate the poison tram her blood. Daring Wednesday, she would freqneatty call for the Bluera. a craved tta Mothlnc mnd anlnUrw effects, and during the day I admiaistered a whote potuo, wiut me aoove resuita, unsfpronnc, what I obvw aiways outinwa, tnac my nemoay an nuai lible antidote forallblood Impurity, lass, BeapeotfuUy, UBS.
