Louis Phiilippe was mean in the
American tsetse of the word, and
had no perception of any kind of
grandeur. He cut down ruthlessly,
i j. i -j i
to ma&e money oi mem, trees in ms
parks which had weathered the
storms of many hundred yearSi His
meanness was the rum or his dynas
ty From St. Petersburg to Madrid
and London to Athens thrift now
reigns. There is hardly a sovereign
who feels that the income allowed
him by the nation over which he
reigns is not for him or her,
but for the dignity of the crown, and
to act as a head-waiter on national
industry The Czar and Czarina
themselves, colossal as their private
fortune is, are intent on making it
mush greater. Stinginess is tradi.
tional m the house of Hohenzollern ;
but their civil list allowances have
been very great, and they shrink
from no duty, however hard or irk
some. Thoy have public spirit in a
high degree, and command respect.
The late King of Sweden bequeathed
his only daughter the largest fortune
that was ever known of;in Scandinas
via, and it would have been counted
a great one all the world over. His
father was Bernadotte, the sot of a
Bearnais lawyer of small provincial
fractice.
In Belgium the royal family is also
a plutocratic one. Although Leopold
I. was fleeced by fair harpies in his
old age, he left each of his three chil
dren about a million sterling. Yet
M. Etienne Arago remembers when
he had to go into debt for some
French embroideried muslin which
he bought to make presents to the sis
ters of his (1816) master, the Czar.
Empress Elizabeth is prodigal, and
thinks she can never spend enough
ota her stables and dog kennels ; but
the Emperor is anxious to swell his
investments la Italy the king saves
to pay his father's debts, and nobody,
therefore, complains of his thritt.
Ludwig, of Bavaria, is not of his
time. His brother, of Wurtemburg,
is not personally extravagant, like
our James L, but is profuse through
favorites. The one now dominating
him is an American, who succeeds an
American. At Lisbon, the King
dowager has amassed so much as 10
be able to spend millions of francs on
his country house near Cintra, and in
furnishing it and the palace where he
and his o nimble wife live in winter;
Maria Pta, being passionately fond of
dress, Dom Luis pinches in the sta
bles and wherever else he can. He,
however, only saves out of his m
come. His Ministers plunder by
means of frequent loans, but he is
not suspected of receiving a share of
the hauls they thus periodically
make.
Raleigh Visitor : A white man
named Frederick Ostridger was kill
ed last Saturday Just on this side of
Durham, by the down mail train on
the N. C, Railroad. The man, was
deaf and dumb and therefore did not
heed the approaching train. No blame
can be placed on the engineer.- On
Saturday last the remains of the late
Capt. Hal W. Harrison, formerly of
this city, were found in the woods
near the town of Lewiston, in Bertie
county It is supposed that he died
of heart disease. He leaves a wife
and four children, besides other near
relatives to mourn his death. He
served gallantly during the late war
as a captain of Company "I," 47th
N. C, Regiment. Peace be to his
aahes. i
News and Observer: Mrs. Lucy
Bryan died at Salisbury Sunday
morning. She was well known in
this city. She was in her 81st year.
She was the daughter of the late
Sherwood Haywood, and was the old
est of that family. Mr. Jf. if. Hay
wood, Sr., Dr. K. B. Haywood and
Miss Maria Haywood were her broth
ers and sister.
W. H. Tomlinson's residence in
Favetteville. was burned last Mon
day. Loss $2,300; insurance 12,100
Reidsville Weekly: An old gentles
man, with a blue cotton umbrella in
his paws, who had imbibed too free
ly, was in a country church in a
neighboring county, the other
Sunday when it began raining very
bard. The old man heard the rain
on the roof and raised the umbrella.
But the preacher took in at a glance
the whole situation. He quietly said:
"Put that man out doors but leave
his umbrella inside ; some of the sis
ters may need it.
Goldsboro Argus: We are sorry
that one of the fine French plate
glasses in the large windows of Sol.
Einstein & Co's handsome store on
West Centre was -.broken Christmas
Ev-5 by a sky rocket accidentally
slipping from the hand of Mr. Don
Cameron and coming in contact with
it. The rocket went through it like
a pistol shot, although the glass of
the window is over a half an inch
thick. Mr. Cameron promptly order
ed a new glass, which will cost him
$100.
Asheville Advance: About g
o'clock last night a rather serious ac
cident occurred in the house of Mr.
W. C Featherston, in the city. The
children were starting a fire with
coal oil, when the4dil in the can ig
nited causing an explosion. The
clothing of Addie Edwards, a girl
about 13 years of age, caught fire,
and before it could be . extinguished
she was very painfully if not" serious
ly burned about the body. Two
smaller girls, Emma ana mamie
Featherston were also burned, but
not so badly.- It is hoped that none
of the burns are serious, though the
extent is not known at the time of
writing.

F.verv one of the three hundred
and fifty men employed on the World
ate turkey Christmas at the expense
of Congressman Joseph Pulitzer, and
most of them enjoyed a post-pran-dial
cigar at the expense of Col. Jno.
A Cockerill, managing'editor of 'the
World. The turkey was by no means
the limit of "Uncle Joe's" generosity,
for to his chiefs of departments he
made presents in money of from $250
Hnivn to &100. and to others two
weeks' salary was given. This is eas
tirely a new departure in New York
journalism, but is nothing novel for
tho Congressman from the Ninth,
who pursued the same course in St.
Louis when he personally conducted
the Post-Dispatcb, an afternoon pas
per, which is as great a marvel of
success in the West as the World is
in the East. It is to this appreciation
of other men's merit that he is to
some extent indebted for his position
to-day. When he divided up the
stock of the Post-Dispatch in right
tidy sums among the men who made
the paper he laid the foundation for
an esprit du corps tnai was evenast
ingly evolving new meas ana never
permitting a haic. w nen tne master
mind came east to a national field
there was no relaxation or energy
and vigilance; dividends were in
creased, and the men left in charge

their bank accounts with Uhri3tmas
remembrances. Nor have the poor
in his district been neglected; but
this, branch the Congressman has
been compelled to turn over 'to his
wife. who. aided by a memoer oi tne
World staff thoroughly acquainted
with the field, has been for nearly
two months searching r out cases
wnrthv of relief. IhiS is a private
charity, the details of which he does
not allow to become puonc; dud
thousands of people to-day have him
to thank for warm clothing and good

A notable event is the opening, on
Christmas day, at Nashville, of the
first exposition of the industries of
the colored people of the State. It
speaks louder than words for the
steady advance they have made in
twenty years of freedom, and puts
to shame the men who have decried
their efforts and refused to lend them
a helping hand. The speech made
by the Hon. J. M. Langstori, late
Minister to Hay ti, on the occasion,
was temperate and sensible, and he
was especially happy in the compari
son in advancement he instituted be
tween the negroes of the British!
West Indies, emancipated in 1830;
