A Chicago special nays: Two weeks ago the widow of Waiter L. JNew- berry died in Fans, leaving a large fortune," over $3,000,000 ot wnicn oy Mr. Newberry's will goes to the es tablish metre of a public library in Chicago Mr Newbe ry died at sea in 1857. Today is published a story which has caused a sensation among the late millionaire's friends and ac - quaintances, as the secret, it it is truly told, has been perfectly Kept up to this time. In November, iSb7, Mr. Newberry sailed for Havre to join his family, who were in Paris. The friendly 'intercourse usual among ocean travelers was not at all to his taste. He was always austere and taciturn on shore, and he chse to remain so at sea, repelling every offer of friendship or even of ac quaintanceship. He was recognized by a gentleman from New York who knew him by reputation and did not care, under such unpromising oils cumstaoces, to force hrs acquaintance further. In such surroundings, an plien in the midst of his own people, Mr. Newberrv sickened and died. He escaoed the usual burial of those dving at sea bv the interference of . , . thelNew York man w no Knew mm. and who assured the captain that the dead man's relatives would meet any expense incurred in keeping the body. A cask ot Medrord rum tnat formed part of the cargo was brought into requisition. Mr. Newberrys body was placed in the cask, and, of course. ws,Treserveain tne aicononc foouid. When the cargo was dis charged the cask was rebilled by the the New York man to Mr. JSewberry s friends in Chicago. Mrs. Newberry was then in Paris, a fact which the gentleman referred to was ignorant The cask left for America on the next steamer, and in due time arrived at Chicago on a freight train over the Michigan Central railroad. The friends who had been notified by the New York man of the body took charge of the cask on its arrival, and had it Carried to Graceland cemetery on a dray. A grave was dug, and the cask, still containing Mr. New berry's body was put into it and covered up. Mr. E. J. Tinkham, a weii-known citizen who died some years ago, was one of the participants in this affair, and stated the facts bes fore his death. The body of the mil lionaire still lies in the cask in Graces land cemetery. Lexington Dispatch: Mr. William Hargrave has shipped from Lexing ton to the proprietor of the Central Hotel, at Charlotte, nearly seven thousand pounds of beef in the last four months. This is a good showing for the Lexington market. - David Jones, of Forsyth county, bought his first box of matches last week. He has kept house about thirty years, and the fire has never died in his fire place during that time.

She looks fee perfect picture of health, but some of her sharp sisters Lave been tracking up the secret of how her pale complexion disappeared so sud denly. It appears that the young lady called in the services of an old sailor who had (known ner ever since she was a ' wee bit ot a thing," and told him she was miserable because she never could have any color in her face. She asked him to tattoo her cheeks a delicate red, and although the operation was quite painful, she stood it bravely, and the consequence is that she wilt have a red face even after death. It is said that severs,' society belies contemplate undergoing the same course or treatment. YSON & JONES. CARTHAGE. N. C, FINE LARGE BUGGIES AND- PHAETONS.

C- Providence Medical Journal We have recently had several cases of a peculiar herpetic eruption about the lips oi cnildren, ana wnicn we have satisfied ourselves were due to cheaply-dyed gloves. The children wearing these gloves wiped their? mouths with them. The rash could be produced at will. When the gloves were taken off and not worn for some time there was no rash. When, on the other hand, the gloves were worn and the children repeated the practice the rash returned. Clearly it was a ease of cause and effect. Owing to competition, manufacturers endeav. or to cut down expenses or proauc tion by using the cheapest form of dye, and the public support them by buying cheap products. There is not much economy in this, however. The old proverb should be remembered cheap and dangerous.

Raleigh News and Observer: In the case of the State vs. Smith, from county, yesterday decided in the Su preme court, to which allusion was made yesterday, the question of the constitutionality of the "drummers" license tax (section 28 of the revenue act) was raised and argued. The de fendant was convicted below of a violation of the law and appealed to the supreme court. The Supreme court affirmed the judgment, thus adjudging the constitutionality of the law imposing the tax ; but the point not being technically presented in the record, the court did not discuss the constitutional question. The income annually derived by the State from this tax being so large (over 186.000), any case affecting the question is matter of public concern. "Give you a reason on compulson?'
