On the 2nd day of this month tho Charlotte Observer, contain ed the following, which is. the "whole truth and nothing but the truth. It says: Every hon orable and upright newspaper man is frequently most pain fully reminded or the unreliable ness of journalism and its crinv nal indifference to truth. The outside public can not appreci ate so well the malicious reck lessness displayed jn certain newspapers, as the conscienti ous and upright newspapers men who loves his profession and nold its capacity tor truth in as high estimation as true women kola virtue in "their own sex To be sure he press is generally unreliable and a reader can nev er be sure of anything he may see in a great many of the reat louriials. This unreliableuess is due both to malice and a lack of circum speetion, which have done so much to cripple the usefulness and power of the great modern press. The facilities fortollect ing uud publishing news, as great as they are,- are not equal to the 'struggle for it. There are engaged in no other busi ness requiring so much intel ligence and responsibility, so many reckless and unreliable men animated with malice and the mercenary spirit of misrep resentation. Hero are a number of recent events taat go to show either malice or indifference on the part' of a very influential por tion of the press of this country. Some of those examples appear to be instigated by the deil himself.. '. :,Z it was - published that Mr, Cleveland would speak in Ohio upon .invitation of the Ohio Democrats. That was very im portant information, if informa tion that is if true. He denied Che report soon alter, showing that it had no foundation in fact. A striking examble of the unreliabieness of the news paper press. j . One day Koch lymph is a brilliant successf the "ext day it is an ignominious failure. On Thursday it wan reported that Secretary, Noble had re signed, on tho next day it was contradicted and the publiisc is left in doubt. With malace and ' , afore thoght it is published that there is domestic dissension in the household of H. M Stanley. Ho has abused Mrs. Stanley. It is indignantly .denied. The New Yord World is pur suing Blaine with the vengence of a hyena, doing its best to kill him with kidney disease, not withstanding a denial f mm his doctor that he has no disease of the kidney. . ' Time and again indelicate al lusions are made to Mrs.. Cleve land. . Mary Anderson is also , a sub ject for frequent defamation. This season has been prolific with such examples which make every honest newspaper man blush with shame and in- dignation. The rascals iu jour nalism should be put upou the rack. They ought to be masted. They are doing a wretched busi ness that U putting the brand of Annanias on the whole profes sion. To bo $ure there is good ex cuse for inaccuracy of state ment in the journal that is ushered into wor d at the early morning hour, that is put to gether ut midirght. But there w no excU'W for- the entereprise of reckless malice and the posi tive indmcrence to the truth taat are to be seen !in so many of the great daily newspapers. One inlluential, but t;ia lcious and lying journal makes its in nocent and honorable brethren present the world in a fal re light. AT legTMpii.c JKrmr. t.l M..

The firm replied that on condition, the hymn books contained certain adver tisements .-the3 congregation should have them for nothing. The ministeitsoiiowfuily com plied, thinking to hioWoli that when the ad vorfisements came tbey should hi, removed from the leaves.

It is not a dry, uninteresting statement of the plain facts, but rather each of the most important events of history has been taken up and described by a master of lang uage, who holds the reader en tranced as he wends his way a long the path of history, follow- 'ing carefully in the footprints of progress. .We are delighted with this superb volume. Perfect in thought, superb In style, and magnificent ia execution. The bindings are sumptuous, as are also the many illustrations and colored plates. The publishers have rightly concluded that such a gem should have a rich set ting. It is a. valuable addition to literature.

The first coke furnace ever built in Nort h Carolina is -under contract. The Cranbury fur nace now makes coke iron which it sells at a high price in Pittsburg for Bessemer steel purposes, but this furnace was not originally for using coke. It is a small furnace intended for charcoal iron. The new coke furnace, for the building of which a contract has just been let, will be located at Greensboro, and will be owned by the North Carolina Steel and Iron Co., , of that city. Tie Manufacturer's Record has oft en refered to this company and stated its intention to build a furnace to make Bessemer iron. but it had so long tlelay ed the matter that many bad forgot ten the organization of the com pany. The building of this fur nace opens the era of iron mak ing in North Carolina on a large scale, tor the iron ore wealth of that State is so great that it must become a great iron pro ducing section.

The railroad construction re ported for the six months end ing July 1st, show that of the l.fHtf miles oi railway construct ed, 930 miles were in the South.

The fashions are not .infre quently sot by the caprice of some grand dame who has ev erything to gain by the adop tion of a fashion that shall con ceal some personal" defect from public observation. The pres ent style of high collars, as the fashion writers love to tell us, was invented by the Princess of Wales who ha a handsome face but a homely neck which the devices ot the dressmaker s art were brought into use to conceal. The custom of blond ining the hair do doubt dates away bock to Queen Elizabeth's reign, for the virgin but vira goish Queen of England had her life made miserable by possess ing a nead 01 uncontroimbly red hair and history tells us she tried to conceal it in every pos sible way. Well, high heels were invented to make short women approximate the "me dium height" which tho novel heroine ulways possesses; big sleeves were mode to cover scrawny arms and so on through the whole category. The pres ent style of sweeping up the re fuse of the streets with trained dresses' was adopted with the. sole purpose of concealing from . view, the monstrous feet of the Chicago girls. The girl with a Cindarella foot will never be "in it" when it comes to putting ou the gown with a train. Deceiving Don't Pny. A true man, one who firmly . adheres to his conscientious con- . victions, and cannot bo bribed or intimidated into doing what he believes to be wrong, com mands our warmest admiration. He may widely differ with us in politics, religion or any of tho great questions that engage the attention of mankind, but we are nevertheless dra wn towards him by irresistible cords of love and esteem. The man who is first one thing and then another, as the cur rent of popular opinion changes, whose ideas are shaped and fashioned by what other people will think of him, and who is all things to all men, hathe may fill his pocket with filthy lucre, or reach the glit.tering goal of fame, or ride into power in the chariot of popularity, cannot be depended upon, and we feel no inclination to .; tio to him, because we do not know when, Judias-like, he will turn and betray us if his interest will be promoted by so doing. most ardent love and friendship for yeu, swearing by all that is good and holy that they will never deceive you or be falt.e to their obligations, and to-nnr-row they will turn against you and follow the example of the mercenary and , ungrateful be trayer of the Savior of the world. Such people cannot be relied on. and honorable men and women everywhere turn from them with disgust and contempt. One thing that gives (Irover Cleveland such a hold on the hearts of the American people to-day ia hjs reliability. They are impressed with the fact that to reach the Presidential chair- he will not swerve one iota from, his conscientious con victions. To gain sueh renown is worth more than all the hou- ors and emoluments of the high est office in the gift of t ie peo ple. It is mo:e precious than royalty's diadem. Deceiving don t pay. Judas, for a small sum ot money, an imated by the basest and black est ingratitude, betrayed his best friend. He played hypoc risy to perfection, died a hor rible death, filled an unhoncred grave, and his name is mml in derision and contempt through out the civilized world. Hit. one he betrayed died a cruel death on a Roman cross, was carefully laid to rest in the tomb of a friend,. and his name, in every Imd and clime, has bo- come the most famous in the annuals of history, choering and animating with eternal hope, the purest and best inhabitants of earth.
