DURHAM RECORDER. K. C. HACKNEY, Kdlior. Pro. WEDNESDAY, Sept. 9, 1801. -. GuoU Times All "lid... , A director in the Bank of England expresses the opinion that not less than 10,000,000 of gold will be shipped from Eu rope to America between this time and December, s1 v "Much of the gold which has come from America during tuej past sixmon.ths," he says, "hail come as a sort of insurance in vestment." 'The money which has been sent from America," he con tinues, "has not been needed in actual business transactions.. It has been brought here as a sort of guarantee tuna, a wnerewiiu' alto guard against any possl ble contingencies. Nervous uess au unreasoning appre hension of disaster to come necessitated the presence here of irold. and the money loaued by America for this purpose has succeeded, as it was intended to, ia allaying all fears for the future. Catastrophies believed . to bo near at hand have, owing to the presence of gold in such quantities, been prevented and have failed to materialize, and now that the gold has done its work, it is to be returned to its owners." This means simply that the panic is passed and that con fidence is fast returning Re store confidence and money will be plentiful. Danville Register He Was .i ruucruua UcTook .TIh-ui in. The Danville Register says The case of Lawyer' Mudge of Norfolk, whosuddeuly jumpe into prominence m that city in spite of a previous checkered career, serves to show how prone are the people of the South to take a stranger by the hand and to repose confidence in him without knowing any thing of his antecedents. For this reason a slick-tongued stranger can often accomplish more in a southern town than an old citizen ia tbe same line of business. A drummer re remarked to us 6ome time ago in talking on this line, that he never attempted to sell goods in hit native town, simply be cause he was too well, known, and not unfavorably known either. His people, he remark-j ;d, preferred to buy from strang ers, and for the same reason he could always do better in strange towns. And soit gees. A land agent from a distant town come, or rather could come to Danville when the boom was on, and sell large blocks of stock, where a man at home at tempting the 6ame thing would starve to death, so prone are the people of the South to patron ize a slick-tongued stranger. This is not only true of the business world, but it is in a great measure the rule in the soda', circle. Question the Dan ville girls on this subject and you will find that it often hap pens that tho strange man or the strange lassie who comes to town, if they have good man ners and a pleasing address, will eclipse the home folks, all thiugs else being equal. Lawyer Mudge and his wife were both very clever and very ongoing people and they were roriiully received in Norfolk. The fact is, says a Norfolk special, Mr. Mudge was a big amist and a notonoas swindler, and these facts could easily have teen ascertained, if any body had taken the trouble to inquire, but Mr. Mudge was so clever and so rngaging that no body wtnad to care about bis nnu-cedents. everybody liked the eloquent young lawyer and his charming wife and for that reason everybody presumed that they were all right. Many people would rather be pleasant ly humbugged than to be un pleasantly disillusioned. The great question is, Shall we treat a stranger as a rascal until we know him to be a en tletuan, or hall we treat him as a gentleman until we know to be a rascal; ut the pain oi safety and of justice lies in the mid dle ground ot these extremes, The best rule is to politely treat a stranger as a stranger until you know who and what he is. n. tril tlie tikf.

The Democrats of Penn sylvania held their State Con vention on Thursday and nomi nated candidates for certain State offices that will be voted for in November. From all reports the party is in good trim and will make a very aggressive ngnt. The f resident of the coaven- tion,-who represented a county which gave a Democratic ma jority of thirty thousand last November, stated that tne con test would be conducted on ocal issues alone, and as these are sufTiciently prominent tor all necessary purposes it is highly probable that the Demo' cratic ticket will be successful The new Treasurer of the city of PhiladelDhia. who was ap pointed by Governor Patterson to nil the unexpired term ot tne defaulter Bardsley. has recently been calling the attention of the people to the dishonest practices which have prevailed m hum Places, and tae ais- closures which he has made will no doubt serve to increase the indignation ot the people against the unworthy officials who have corruptly used their positions.

The Pike's Peak (Col ), rail way is now in successful opera tiou The first passenger train reached the summit at 5:25 on a recent afternoon. The train consisted of au engine and one 1 1 " A O car, occupiea oy sixty nve yeo pie mostly uenver excursion ists. The lower terminus of the line is C400 feet above the sea level, and the upper 14,147. The distance is nine miles, and the 6t -epest grade twenty five per cent., or a rise of one foot in four. On the way up a Blight snow squall was encountered, ana on the 6ummit the air was un pleasantly cool, even with heavy overcoats. The engine used on the traiu weighed forty tons. It operates by cogwheels alone. The rear of the locomo tive is elevated so that the boil er is notably level on the heav iest grades. The passenger coaches do not differ materially from ordinary Pullman coach es. Many a man . who reaches fame and wins success in this world owes it more to luck and the encouragement of friends than to his own ability and en ergy. When it once becomes the style to speak well of a man we all do it, and there is noth ing too good for him; while oth ers equally as deserving are ig nored or driven to the wall. If it is. wrong in the French Government to increase the price of bread to the poor of that country, iy a tariff duty upon wheat as wrong it as suredly is then it is wrong in theOoternnient of this country to increase the price of a single necessary of life in like manner. lawyer nI .Inrtcs. The American Bar Assoc! ation has listeued to the usual attack on the jury system, and it has been urged before that body that juries should be aboi shed in civil cases. While lawyers are talking in this way, the estern Mates, which per b'tps voice progressive Ameri . - " canism more clearly than the Kat, areenlargingtbe province of juries and making the judge merely an instrument to explain the law. The fact is that nine laymen out of ten think that lawyers have power and privilege enough, and, whatever the legal profession may believe or sug gest, then is no popular desire or purpose to enlarge that power and privilege, on or on the bench. Thb reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina Experiment Station and State W father Service, for the week ending rnday, Sep ...t Ilk lUllt !. . I at linger vwj, wiv. .iic. Al though slightly better weather has re vailed no improvement in crops has taken place. The eariy part of the week was de cidedly too cool, the tempera ture reaching the normal only during the last few days. The excessive rains have ceased, but light showers, which were quite unnecessary, have fallen. The rain fall was heaviest in the Eastern District and least in the Western, otherwise the same conditions have prevailed generally over the State. Cot ton continues to shed and Is af fected by rust.

The prospects are now for a lew tiaysoi rainy ' weather and lower temperature Why Become Excited? . I A great deal is heard now a days about the Alliance and its platform, with the exception of - the sub Treasury scheme and the proposition, under any circumstances, of government ownership of railroads and tele- grapns, wo boo notmug in tne platform to startle any good Democrat; at least as to every thing else there is room for a debate and compromise. As to the sub-Treasury, the platform demands that, or "something better or as good The Democratic party can easi ly -give them "something bet ter," and it would be hard to give them anything not as good as to tne government owner ship of the lines of communica tion and transportation, the platform only demands this in the event that we cannot have a "most rigid, honest and just state and .National government al control and supervision" of such lines. We think the Alli ance may trust the Democratic party, once in power, to estab iish such "rigid, honest and just .control and supervision' as they demand, in any event it is useless to quarrel over the government ownership of rail roads and telegraphs until the Democratic party has been tried and found wanting. Upon the silver question the Democratic party will be apt to harken to the sober, deliberate voice of the people. Upon the whole we see noth ing in the deliberation and platform of the Alliance to make it impossible or even difficult for that organization to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Democracy. The aims and ob jects of both organizations are the same, vis., the deliverance of the masses from the greed and oppression of the classes, and by friendly discussion and mutual concessions they will surely find honorable means to that great and oenencent end, Is skirmishing around for subjects to write about we run amuck of some curious things. Many times they are not as curious as they are singular. Here is a singular fact that we ran azainst the other day. It is a fact, that many rich men make a merchant wait for his pay much longer than that mer chant would trust a poor man Well, now, you stop to wonder whether this is a real for sure fact or not. We can assure you that this is a fact and any mer chant will testify to the truth of the assertion They are men who are worth from twenty to sixty thousand dollars who make merchants ana otner trades people wait on their pay from two to five years without any other excuse only that they are wealthy ana are tnereiore good. Another singular fact about the matter is that the merchants let them play that eame on them. They think they dare not ask them to set tle for tear of losing tneir pa tronaze. They would not trust a poor man that way, aitnougn he was known to oenonest. Tares Blummlr for tbe World's . Fair. An interesting exhibit which ill be carefully removed intact to the World's Fair will be three mummies recently found in an ancient Inca tomb near Aucon Peru, by the exploring party under the direction of Ueiten ant Safford and George A.' Dus- ev. of Harvard College, in room at a aeptn oi ten leet oe low the surface the three mum - - . . . . . . mies were found together. One was that of a woman apparent ly about forty years of age seated upon a dias in the act of spinning, with yarn and distaff in her hands. At one side was a pile of yarn and in front were dishes heaped wun Deans, corn and food of various kinds, in cluding fish and crab. The oth er mummies wire those of baby and a little girl about ten years old. It is learned from the current dispatches of the day that gentleman in Georgia accused his nephew of having appro priated five cents. The nephew resented the imputation and emphasized this denial by striking his uncle over the head with an iron bar. 1 hereupon the old man drew a knife and imbedded the blade in his nephew's heart. The old man is now barred from association with the outer world and his next appearance may be when he is led forth with a hempen halter. Thus it will be seen again that circumstances halter eases.

In the peaceful and wtl airung! Can-plot, ui the cemetery, a' new monument has been erected. It is to the memory of Rev. J. T. Harris. Tbe monument proper n in the shape of a square pulpit stand, with an open Bible upon a cushion, ' and around the lower ede of the cushion is very graceful draping.

On the fourth side w an artistic and beautifully carved crow with an anchor prominently brought out, surmounting the word Harm, in large block letters. There is also an inscription on each page of tbe open Bible; on one: "I lie down and die in hojie of the rernir ruction f the just."
