THE LEGAL PROFESSION.
Surprise ia, sometimes expressed
that so . many young men in the
United States - should .seek the legal
profession, notwithstanding the fact
that it is already overcrowded, and
that many who belong to it haVe a
rough and tumble scramble to get
along. The profession is doubtless
overcrowded, there are many in it
who-, have all they can do to earn
enough to keep tody and ; soul to
gether, but there is no other profes
sion in this country which offers' tot
the young man the opportunities for
political distinction that this does,
and perhaps in this fact may be jbhe
fascination it has for the ambitious
young man. Glance over the Legis
latures of any of our States, at the
House and Senate of the TJnitecf
States, and n,ote the great prep&nder
ancecf lawyers. Jfeveneighta of all
the leading appointments made by
tbe present administration are lawi
yer, and a very large proportion! pf
the lesser ones'. Now the fact is that
in a country like ours political ambi
tion develops very early in life, and
the lawyer and the politician run
pretty close in hand, so close that tbe
people have come to look upon law
yers as politicians,-and leave to thpi
pretty- much th& direction of public
affairs. Conventions . nominate and
'&nippjr.eleQ$ Jititm .to office, and
mmnistrations gome into
uowarthe omcial iienlmnsr tfoea out
"TSnd bunts lawyers to strike. ' We
don't say this in a spirit of fault find
infcwjth the profession because it fig
urea so largely ; in the political field,
for. there is no good reason why it
should. -not accept and. en joy the
honors conferred upon it, bat to call
attention to the fact that it is ond of
the principal avenues to political
promotion and suocesa, which may
account for why so many young men
in the face of great obstacles ; em
brace it in'preference to other avoca
tions where they would have less ' to
contend against.
' AKBOK DAY.
The arbor day idea is spreading and
becoming popular in the United
States, and it is not improbable that
in time it will f be adopted by. the
States generally." From a treeless
prairie the State of Kansas has been
planted with million g of trees by the
people, who turn out on a given day
and plant forest, fruit and ornamental
trees. Pennsylvania has followed
the example of Kansas and, has ; .her
arbor day, Iowa offers bounties to
her residents who plant annually' and
properly care for a given number 'of
trees, as do also some of the other
Western States which suffer from a
scarcity of timber. . In this way the
destruction of the forest growth, is to
some extent remedied. Our: towns
and cities might be - much beautified,
and much beneficed as well, if the
arbor day were adopted and the peo
ple turned out and planted in their
yards, public squares, streets "and
cemeteries : shade and ornamental
trees, 'H&e result ot which would be
that in a few years there would be
mora trees planted than there are
now in a dozen, and some of the tree
less, shrubless and unsightly towns
would become beautiful; and attrac
tive. There are some towns in fibrin
Carolina whose chief beauty is the
trees that adorn them.
The revocation by President Cleve
land of President Arthur's .order of
February 27th, opening to settlement
the Winnebago Jand Crow reservas
tions in Dakota, places the "settlers,"
who went in there on the strength of
President Arthur's orders, in an em
barrassing position,5 if they are now
to be forced to retire. If 3Vfr. Arthur
blundered in making that order ( the
settlers "ho went in there io good
faith, and began the work of making
homes for themselves, should not be
made to suffer for it. ! . t
Soap trees similar to those growing
in China and Japan are said to flours

stitute for soap just as they ere taken
from the trees. In Florida, noweyer,
they are usully bonded down ana
cast into bars. -It is thought they
may be made to grow on Northern
farms after a little acclimatization. ?

A SUNKEN CONTINENT.
IteliCs In the Puo fic Ocean of an Iatel.
Capt. LI W. Herandeen," a mariner.
who has spent years in sailing, the
trackless,Pacfic, related to areporter
a few days ago, facts that he had ob
served which tend-to pro ve the the
ory set forth by Dana,- that there: is
an immonse area of the Pacific ocean
bed ,lyirtg -under the equator about
6.U00 miles in length, and about 3,000
in breadth, that has been 1 gradually
sinking lower and lower lor 1 thoua
ands of years, till . now land, that
was once lying in the sun and washed
1 . . T 1 J , .L .
oy waves is now Dunea m tne iacn
-omless depths." The following is ! the
interesting story told by ilerandeen..
"J-nere is ampie 'eviuence mac a
vast area in the Central Pacific ocean.
now sunk far deeper than the fathom
line goes, was once above the surface
of the sea,, and most probably inhab
ited by a race of people far superior
in intelligence and civilization to the
J-'Qiynesians and Kanakas, who now
dwell on the rocky islands, which in
former times jvere the tops of moun
tain peaks." An immense area; of
ocean bed has been sinking ;for
thousands of years, and the character
of the people who have lived in that
region of the world seems to be sink
ing lower and lower as the land subs
sides The first thing that called the
attention of 'scientific men to; this
great fact was the formation t of
innumerable atolls and barrier "feet's
in that part of the Pacific ocean.
They foundoa the outskirts of this
area that there wer islands fringed
with coral reefa... . ,.: -;.;;- .
, ''As they sailed past these beauts
fUllBlands they saw other iafends
with a barrier circling, them, . A coral
reef a few fet below the surface of
the-water girdled the island at &i diss
tance from it varying from a half; to
thirty milesand whose presence was
marked by a ring vof ; snowy foam
made by the breaker. As they -penetrated
further, into.the region of the
sea they came upon atolls, which are
formed by. Girgles of coral inclosing a
smooth sheet - of waep; . These: la
goons are-found to vary in diawietep
from thirtytniles "or" more to -' only a
taw feet, but corals do not Duild then-
reefs at a gpeater depth than 100 feet."
and yet by sounding these singular
reefs jn the Pacific opeauit was found
that the coral reached as far as the
fathom line went. The conclusion of
scientific men was that the bed of the
e sin was-gradually5 emkmg - and
that the corals began to build f ring
ing reefs on the islands, and as" the
land sank the corals kept steadily fat
work puuaing up as tast as tne land
went down. As the island disaps
peared the fringing reefs became
atollg or circles of- coral inclosingi a
calm lagoon.'. It was found that the
reels oeio w , one , nunared teet ; are
dead, and it ia inferred that at a low
er depth than that the . corals were
killed by cold.-; This is the generally
accejpted theory in regard to the sub "
sidenoe of the Pacific. ; H t
But there is other evidence which
is more interesting, booauae it relates
o the decay f a great race of people
inat oDce innaoiieu mis region. . &
few years ago I stopped at Ponyni;
ete Island, in the.. Pacific, in east
ongitude 158 degrees, 22 minutes,
and J north latitude 60 degrees, 50
minutes. The island is surrounded
by a reef, with a broad ship channel
between it and the island. ; j (
"At places in the reef there were
natural breaks, that served as en
trances to the harbors. In these ship
channels there were a number of jss
land3, many of which were surroundr
ed by a wall of stone five or six -fet
high, and on tnese islands stood ) a
great many low houses, built of the
same kind ot scone as tne wans aout
them These structures Beem to have
been used as temples and forts Tho
singular features of these islands j is
that the walls are a foot or more be
low the water." When they7 were
built they were evidently, above the
water and connected with the "main
land, but they have gradually sunk
until the sea has risen a foot Or mdre
around them. The natives on "the
do not know when these works were
built: it is so far- back in the -"past
that they have even no tradition jof
the structures. Yet the works show
sign$ of great skill, and certainly
Drove that whoever built tnem Knew

the islands, and in that cjuarry tod&y
there are great blocks of stone flat
have! been hewn out ready for trans
portation. The natives have notra
ditidn touching the . quarry, " who
hewed the stone,, when it was dorie,
or why the work ceased. The natives
are in greater ignorance of the great
phenomena tnai are going- on aroupa
tnem tnan tne wnine man wno loucnes
on their island for a few hours fr

mind that the island was once inh'abr
ited by ari intelligent race of people;
who built the temDles.jand torts sot
heavy maponry on the high bluffci fof
the shore of the .island, and inac ps
the land gradually subsided thse

. Comrades The annual meeting of
the Confederate Home Association
will take place May 20th, 1885, in
this cityr and it is earnestly desired
that every section of the State be
represented. - - -' --.--.,-- r
f-i The main object of this association
is to erect in North Carolina a suita
ble home for her unfortunate and de
loendent old soldiers.
f The passage of the pension bill by
the last General 'Assembly, must not
be allowed to cause a cessation - of
labor in tbe patriotic work under
taken by -this association. The -bill
pnly provides, to a : very limited ex
lent, for. the disabled by wounds, i ; ;
! It does not meet the necessities of
those who by disease and misfortune,
resulting from serving their State,
are in heed of our bounty and kind
ness. While aid extended dependent
and penniless soldiers by legislation
may satisfy their physical wants it
ean never bring to them that precious
peace ot mind and those pure and
patriotic heart ' beats of gratitude
which voluntary gifts in their behalf
inspire,
I Nothing could possibly be more
humiliating and mortifying to our
maimed and homeless comrades than
hearing taxpayers complain of being
forced to contribute .towards their
support, hence this association seek3
to raise the mean it requires from
friends, who, appreciating their" ser
vices and necessities, are. willing to
Voluntarily donate a part of their
substance that North Carolina's de
pendent veterans may end their days
in comfort and peace.
i From those!who think poor houses
are good enough for friendless and
homeless old soldiers, this associa--tion
neither expects nor desires aid,
We seek only such contributions as
will purify our cause and inspire
those exeat and sublime oentimenta
circumscribed by "our duty to North
Carolina's heroes " v . "
iThis being our aim wo cannot do
otherwise than hope for success, for
stjrely the people of North Carolina
Will never nermit the stainless rerord
of , her matchless soldiery to -be
marrod by their refusal to aid a
mpvemert calculated to lighten and
make happy the pathway of her vet
erans as they march to the camp be
yon4 the river. 1 !

j , Kasstan Policy.:
It was in Persia, as Napoleon fore
saw, that the first conflicts between
the British and the Russian interests
in Asia took place: for as much as
through Persia pass all those great
commercial and military routes which
unite the, valley of Mesopotamia and
the Caucasus to the basin of the river
Indus. As early as 1813 the Russians
extended their aggrandisements into
Persia, seizing the provinces of Schm
wan and JJajnetaii. iNext year the
British government exacted a treaty
f rem Persia by which India was to be
secured against Russian invasion ; and
from that moment Persia became the
theatre of tbe jealous dramain which
the two mighty European powers
have since been playing the chief
roles But .Russia, ever appears in
the winning roles; in 1851 the Rus
sian frontier was separated from that .1
of India by a distance of 1.500 miles;
today the interval has been reduced ,
to less than 300 miles. Her troops
are only 80 miles from Herat.
Herat nas been lor many centuries
regarded as one of the great keys to
India; its position, commanding the
route from the ijaspian sea to tne
valley of the Indus 'gives the place
as much. importance strategetically
as commercially. It was . tor this
reason that England always desired
Herat to remain the centre of an in
dependent neutral state. For the very
same reason Russia has alwavs at
tempted to stir up such a conflict in
Afghanistan, or to provoke such ac
tions on the part of the Afghans as
might afford her the ghost of an ex
cuse for controlling the country by
force of arms. She has pursued the
same policy on the Indian frontier
that she has been following on the
Turkish borders; and ;the objective
point has been Herat in one case as
much as Constantinople in tne ocner.
The English wars with Afghanistan
have been all stirred up oy Kussian
diplomacy ; and if the present Af r
gnan ruier is loyai io xungiauu, iu is
because he is shrewd enough to Know
that he can hope for nothing from
the Czar. His kingdom and his rev-!
enue are only preserved for him by
English influence, as recently as
1883. Abderrahmah Khan relied a lit
tle two much upon English support,
when he Openly dened the Kussians
to cross the Amoor Daria, and subse
quently attacked the ' Khanates of :
Bokhara, vassals or. itussia. it was
just such a pretext -as Russia might
nave Deeu anxious w ouiaiu ior war;
she only complained for the moment,
and induced the Viceroy of India to
summon Abderrahman Khan to be ¬
have himself. T3ut she avenged her
self very ' soon - by annexing Merv,
and subsequently garakha, .without
losing one drop of blood. The annex
ation wag effected wholly by diplo
macy ; Russia-- had ' been shrewd
enough to speculate upon the politi
cal dissensions excited bytheinflus
ence of England' on , the one hand,
i f ' L!i..'
and ot various nauveamoiuons upun
the other. ,. She encouraged and fo
mented these dissensions, ; and at the
proper - moment offered to restore
prger by a8ummg eontrol,an offer
gladly accepted by. the commercial
classes wha constituted the- bulk of
the population. , Sir Henry Rawlin
son nad declared i in 1879 that Russia
could never seise Merv without losing
nine-tenths of her army, and she
took it without losing even a single
Coesack. She now commands the
road to Herat; and . Herat she will
have before long, ; - ; - - ,t;
. Telegrams are still contradictory ;
but the policy of Russia has "- invari
ably been treacherous. l.When Rus
sia declares she ' wants peace, she
generally means war. This time she
has professed a desire for peace; aud
this signifies that she is' quite ready
to fight, v But the secret reason of
her eagerness to fight is her v knowln
edge of the weakness of. the British
Cabinet. The policy which made a
failure of the Soudanese campaign,
and made England a world's-laughing
stock, is a policy Russia hopes to
take advantage of. While Gladstone
and bis Party remain in control
Russia will not fear to seize the gates
of India. ' ' , ; ' ?

Hits. Joe Person:
Madam On the 29th of last May a boy child
well developed in every respect was born tn this
city, bnt the "King of Terrors" began to chisel
about Its little heart, and notwithstanding Its
plump and vigorous constitution the poison In the
blood soon began to manifest Itself In what the
medical men term 'Eczema, 'Pupura,' or 'Heredi
tary Taint. Some old 'mothers concluded the
child had the 'yellow thrash.' Yet whatever the
disease It was certainly a stubborn master for the
doctors. "-. . .;!;'-.?';'.
The mother took the little sufferer to the coun
try, hoping that the pure fresh air might be bene
ficial, and Dr. , of Lumberton, -was called to
treat the case. He pronounced ft Eczema, and did
all he could for it, but to no purpose, any more
than to check the fever to which the disease sub
jected tbe boy. ;
"At the first frost the victim was again removed
to the city, ahd Immediately Dr. was called
and he pronounced the disease 'Pupura,' and pie-
scribed accordingly, feeding up the disease on iron
and other, minerals until the babe's mouth be
came so sore that for two weeks it did not nurse,
friend suggested as a last hope and resort '

My first order for Mrs. Joe Person's Bemedy was
for one dozen, the demand increased until I had
to order 12 dozen bottles. My sales are dally in
creasing, and the results are very satisfactory from
ail who have used it -Mr. M. C. Strickland, of
Nash county, hd been a sufferer for many years
with muscular rheumatism, h is now on his fifth
bottle, and ereac has beeo his Improvement His
crutches and stick ate thrown aside, and he ex
claims, "I am a new. man." His eertllicate will
soon appear. Yours resnectfullj,

A rew monttu ago my -daughter had been smfbr-
ingwitn some Diooa impurity wnicn resniteam
hoils and risinss oa' her body: thev occasioned
such debility and general bad health that I had to
stoo her from school In cod sequence. She was
reduced in flesh, and her general health was sflv
Ineawav. After trying various ti-eatroeats without
effect, t concluded to use Mrs. Joe Person's Bern-,

excellent, she is cured uf the risings, has resumed
