Lau-j liter That DlakcOne For- trettne Daily Orlnd. & v lr Or)(nui TloiM-DfiuMnt. ' vv ny ,we laugh", is a ques tion toften asked,- but the sourc es of lauffhter are so many and lie sosfar apart that it would be no light tak to enumerate them, merest $ has . not all, seasons for its own. & large and res pectahle class , of ; persons are unablia to recognize a joke as such,- unless they see it duly labeled in the "funny column But if you are "no such man," the yeriesttrjfleuiay Bet you off, and cause you to quake help' lessiy wita" mirth. iXou grin when you find that your friend in descnoed m the morning pa per. as having had "houses," instead of "honors," showered upon him; or when, in his son net, the "viewless train of poesy' masquerades as the "viewless train of palsy." - Yet were the case your own, there would be nothing diverting in it; for no matter how robust your sense of humor may be, it will scarcely carry you far i enough to make you appreciate i a joke of that sort at your own expense. If a goat or a ; dog marches into church, a subdued titter .runs through the congregation either because of the. incongru ousness of such an episode, or because anything that breaks oft ,a long continued train of thought , is welcome. Inter- cyurse with those unconscious humorists whose blunders and absurdities are treasure trove to j ineir acquaintance) yields a double , sense of gratification, not only amusement, but a sooth ing consciousness of "your own superior mental qualities. ; Jiut whatsoever the. provocation, if you are-not in the' mood the lolhest quip falls flat; for sor row is more, easily compelled tnaa mirth. v e hear or croco dile tears, but never of crocodile laughter, though the 'genus is noted lor nno ttetlv. i You can at a pinch, weep with those who weep: but to counteiieit enjoy ment of their old stories would be a much more difficult matter, . DIFFEKEXT STANDABDS. ' Each grade of society seems to have its own standard of humor. The delicate finesse of polished wit, as exemplified by. -1 ne ocnooi ior scandal" or "The Rivals," worthily staged and acted, is lost upon the dis ciple of SicGinty. It can be imagined that prim itive man's conception of a jest must nave been of the same crude nature, and that the grimace of paia or the spectacle of a fellow, stumblimr into- a ditch was needed to call forth his infrequent guffaw. Hence, probably,' the growth of the practical joke. We can mark the traces of such rough-und-tumble ideas of. wit in the horse play of the old novels and comedies. The jests were driven In with abludceon. Cracked pates and bleeding noses spoke more forcibly to the groundlings than the swift thrust and parry of dialogue: if one person tripod and tumbled it was irresistibly- droll, and hen two or three . sprawled in a heap the mirth became boisterous." Such a simple me thod of quadrupling humorous effects must have been a boon to the dramatist. The public of that time laughed because they felt like it, alter the manner oT children; ' but Unlay j gince we have stopped to ask ourselves why we laugh, our laughter has naturally become less- loud and frequent. Nothing better illus trates this change of standpoint than the eceut theory that Omar Khayyam's praises of love and wine-Uro really chants of religious ecstwy. Regarding Don Quixote- rather as a pathet ic that a coiiuc figure, we find it hard to understand how the recital of ibis misadventures laughed bpaiii'sehiralrjr away.' Our idus'6f what is - laujrh- worthy shift with age. "Ver dant Ureen," with Its jolly ad ventures of Bouncer and "Oig Lamys, Charley Larkins and I'retty ratty Honey wood, Fair and sweet and phimp. is side splitting at fifteen, but do not spoil a cheerf ul memory by attempting again at thirty. "Midshipman Easy" i another ontiaily young book. The middle nged man who can still grow hilarlousover "Pickwick" has preserved a cluldukencss of heart that should b envied, not despised. To careless youth the quarrels, the love making; the merry poverty and queer make shifts of Mimi and Rudolohe, MustUto and Marcel, who figure in Murgor's "Scones do la Vi dtt Uohutne." mar seem mvttv enough, but at fifty we pause to question, "What; of the dJcline of such lives?" 7 Perhaps plurf ger realized this when he 'ki)l-t ed off" several of his chalming grisettes in the flower Off their days. , But whil j time Hasno chemical action upon thaetero al charm of wit nothina lkon becomes musty and out If1 date as humor. IN THE PILK fITH POUHWCKS.' Last yBar's humorist his often' vanished as utterly as laa year's ' snow fiakes,t wui the ironing of Mark Twain and thl delici ous absurdity of Bill swept away into that same rub bish heap where Doesucfs and John Phoenix and the rest " lie buried ;fS-.r: , We pay the tributs of silent and sometimes a bitter.Uiuile to the nimble cleverness a French wm bo uiteriy uunite natured. dancing beaj ness of German humirf' Who can imagine being stirj sd to up roarious ., mirth,., by . varni's pictures? That crreaf portrait gallery of his, D'Aprel Nature, cuts almost too close td the quick of human life to be hamumng, With what subtlety ht manages to hint at something wicked and sinister amid the mrves and dimnles of his exouisielv prettv women! "With what I profound, cynical insight into human na ture he has contrived to write a whole history of character and circumstances upon f-ach, face the youth so good for nothing that his parents thick of mak ing an artist of him;the dandin, with his foolish profile: the fat uously important workman whose marriage with Picheux's daughter has bees- interfered witu "by the government,? the forlorn: frowsy heaea creature, with her ragged brsora over her shoulder what evil f youth has led to this foul old agel-t-who has "figure dans ,jictballet8;7 the fishwife, with arias akimbo: the shabby,, genteel .bibliophile indulging in an, intellectual "orgy",at a book still; the two hags discussing theil"brigands" of husbands, andexessing the pious wishthat the 'one .might be hung for mdrderfutf the oth er; the father With' his good, simple face,! so proudly escort ing his daughter, wjuose pretty, trivial features already bear the imprint something that is not candor or puritri No we da not laugh at tkmm Look to lour Own. The good book says "If any man provide not for his own he bath denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." - A curious fellow asks what word is to be supplied after "own" "his own pocket?'' Is the in junction to "put money in thy purse," without reference to the pockets of ot uer people? Is it to provide for your own interests to the neglect or injury of those of your neighbors? Just the re verse. What is enjoined is for a man every man to look out for his own interests rightly un derstood. As society is consti tuted a man cannot provide for his own advantage without a wise and prudent regard for that Of his neighbors. This does not imply- attention to the affairs of others to the neglect of his own. A man cannot well cultivate his own farm and. his neighbors, too; but he should have regard enough for " his neighbor to see to it that his stock does not destroy his neigh bor s crop. Mind your own business ' is a good rule; and if everybody heeded it, then everybody's business would be well cared for; and what is more, business would thrive, society ; would prosper, Self-interest, risrhtly understood, is tmebenevoleiico. the broadest public spirit. It is sometimes said that a man may be so mucn interested m the heathen in other lands, as : to neglect thoss rt home, as some women who are very active members of the Sewing Society nave very ragged children. As a rule, one who does not look well to hi own affairs. will be of little strvios to those of others, as it certainly -is not a mark of great prudence to neglect your own for the sake of building up others. In these booming times it is well to con sider these things. If one is able to help others, after pro viding well for his own. it may be wisdom to do so, and he may find it to hisown advantage; but it is not the part of wisdom to neglect your own in the expec tation 01 greater gains else where. ' t - , ' President ' Stickuey, of the Chicago, ' Milwaukee and St. Paul, has written a book under the title of " lhe Railway Pro blent." He advocate state own er ship of all railways. .; Alliance Ennins. . iThe; Lumberton Robesonian has the following to say about Alliance enemies all of which we endorse. It says: "It it is easy to see : the 'great' import ance attached, to the -organized farmer's: movement known as the Alliance, by the pld politi cal campaigner and caucus hace. It is' a g-eat disturbance in his calculations;"- and the ' more he fears it," th mora apt he is to proff as to underrate its import ance and volume. Anything the old party manager and wire puller can't manage, he feigns to consider of little importance, , When he sees , he can't twist and turn the Alliance to suit his views, JiAjwill profess 'great friendship and admiration for its.: principles, and actions and stab it every time he can ?et a chance in tne back. He don't like it. . It don't consult him He is not invited to plan and work for it. a He can't get any pay from it and his .chances for oflice lessen " as it grows and flourishes;"" " v " 6 There is no disguising the fact that the Alliance has many bet ter enemies,, among old , party hacks. r Ingalls is ,( its deadly enemy in the west, and many politicians m' the South ' who have heen shelved by its influ enceare,no doubt, bitter and secret enemies of the order. It is almost unnatural to suppose they could be other wia, Even the peerless Hampton, whoso elevation to fame and of fice was .mainly due to former soldiers and former votes, can not look upon his old comrades and constituents 'with the same confidence and esteem that filled his bosom when they . poured out their blood and laid down their lives at his command and worked night and day for his election." It not natural that he should, and there ; will be few to blame him for his f etiings. v ine, Alliance Knows this is natural and knows it has many, secret enemies among Republi cans and - Democrats who have been defeated by its power andi they are fully alive .to the dan ger it threatens to-their magni ficent order, ' . . . But all this seems to strength en and cement the farmer broth erhood. They are keenly alive to . all insiduous approaches. They are sternly determined to secure their rightful, place and power and influence in the gov ernment. President Harrison will not fool a farmer, for there is scar cely one so ignorant who does not know he put his hand to their death warrant when he signed the McKinley bill. 1 All the enemies of the Al liance and the demands of the farmer are not so honorable as Senator George of Mississippi, who is canvassing that StAto as a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate and who openly attacks many of the demands of the Alliance plat-! form. Such honorable and brave opponents as this, the farmers will have to meet, for if I they have no orators so glib of tongue, they can, when the day ofeleotion comes a -ound, put their votes in the right box, and when they are counted it will be found the farmers have used the most powerful argument known in American politics to uphold their side of the ques tion. . ' But the worst and most dan- gvrous enemies they have to overcome is the fellow who smiles in your face and frowns when your back is turned. There are numbers of them in siduous foes to the order, who would like to use it, if they can, to promote their individual schemes and selfish" purposes, and If they can't o this, they would like to see it stabbed to death. - i To play upon the. weak kneed ana timid, is an old game of the devil, church and Mate, and it is with these the enemies of the Alliance will work. They will promise money or pi ace in fact anything to crcito dissensions in the councils of the order and to break in upon its plana. The disorganize hang around sub- Alliances to nnd a hole in the door where he can roll in an ap ple of discord. The enemies of the Alliance appear in many colors. They are just now trying to make a third party out it. This, in my opiuion, will do more t injure the Alliance than anything else that could happen to it. It should keep within the 'folds of its best friend, the Democratic Htl hj j saiJva ovvt sui pwm j" t- aible ironi Its worst enemy,' the ... .'at. a Republican party, it should de mand its just share of the pow er and emoluments that follow party victory, , Col. Polk, who is a vigilant and able leader, is going to put J3,uuu Alliance lecturers in the field to head off the wolves that would creep into the fold and break up the organization. So whatever dreams the party run ners may have 'of breaking in upon the integrity and solidity of the order will be dissipated into thin air and nothingness. . The inside enemies of the or der, the growlers and grumblers, and the big heads with little ideas, will frown and fuss no doubts but the grand march of the great army of reformers will be onward and upward to vic tory. " , ( ' , The millionaires will pour out money in lavish plenty to buy and debauch venal and dishon orable, leaders, and all that can be done, to make tne Alliance appear as an ephemeral,' pur chasable and decaying institu tion; will be printed in a hostile press and scattered over the land. . , , . ' i .....I- , But . all such things, in my opinion, will fail to shake the solid, high and patriotic pur poses of the order. The safety of Democratic institutions aud the preservation of the liberties of the people depend upon the success ami perpetuity of the f The great majority of the peo ple of this country are,, toilers for , favored classes. ' A few thousand own the wealth of the country and foreign aristocrats are fast getting possession of the land. If something is not quick ly done by the masses of the people, they will fall into a serf dom and slavery from which it may be impossible to ever , raise themselves. It then behooves the farmers to hold fast to their organization, and be prepared at all times to meet their ene mies, let them come from what ever qaarter they may. j ny their own strong hosts and solid votes alone, may they expect to maintain themselves and secure their proper place in the nation and the admuustra Uon of public affairs.

' i All Greensboro is .stirred up over the , romantic jnamage of Miss Uordtc llnjruu. eldest daughter of Mr. A. Hagan, of this city. Ldst Saturday n.cht just a week ago, Miss uagan left ostensibly on a visit to re latives in Maryland. , But the next thing heard from Miss Hagan was through a telegram from Mr. Wallace Wharton, from Fair-haven Washington, statiug that Miss . Uagan hod arrived and they would be mar ried that (Monday) night. It turns out that she and Mr. Wharton have been engaged for three years. Greensboro will not soon recover from the surprise occasioned by this lit tle romance. Mr. Wallace Whar ton is the eldest son of Mr. W D. Wharton, who lives north of Greensboro.

One Girl Who Toenn't Faint Away at a Mere Fleanite. WuhiDgton Stw, One dark night last week, a slender blonde young lady, who has gone in for gymnastic work till her slender limbs" have . muscles like steel springs, was walking- alone a flnrlr , utrnat alone. It was only 8 or 8:30 o'clock, and the young lady wasn't timid anyway. One particularly dark place on her way home was where there was a dead wall all alone onn ilo of the street for nearly a square. a bug was passing tins dead wall a half crown neerro iostled against her, and before she knew what he was after grabb ed her pocketbook and started to run. But before the neirro had time to get out 6f reach she sprang at him, and had her 8trinir fimrers hooked into the collar of his ragged coat. A quicic jerk threw the negro on his back on the brick pavement. Then she dronnod on htr lrnena on the scared negroe's chest, and seizing nis head between her gloved hands she bumped it up uu uowa ou wie uncus tin ne prayed for mercy. Then she nicked nn hflr TioclrethnnV frnm (where the negro had dropped it, and went on her way home, her cheeks very red, but the glori ous light of an athletic victory in her blue eyes. This particular young lady, by the way, can jump and ctch the top of the cornice over an open door, and, clinging to it merely by the strength of her dimpled fingers, raise herself up till her chin is on a level with her hands eight or nine times without stopping.
