When one of these free born or' emancipated citizens places himself in the hands of his mends it is an uiallible sign of the pure patriot permit ting the office to seek the man while his friends are insisting that he is the man. I the Inter-State 'Immigra tion Bureau supposed when they elected J no. T. Patrick as Gen eral Director of the Exposition to be held in the city of KaJeigh, N. C, October 1st to December 1st, 1891, that he would have purely and simply an exhibition of the products ot the soil, mines and forests, they will be badly mistaken. , Patrick is.' yet a young man, but he has, been connected with fairs and ex positions for the past fifteen years, and he knows the aver age visitor to fairs wants some thing to laugh at, and we will lay a wager that there will be more balloon ascensions, and curious freaks of nature, and laughable - amusements from the opening to the closing day, than was ever crowded into any , exposition or fair.

' Wliat'a 'Jo lyrd.ike DM. t r We read an amusing account in tbe New York Advertiser of what that paper styles a jellv cakewar,at Springfield, 111. The account goes on to state, upon its advices, that a boot and shoe firm offered a five -hundred-dol lar piano as a special premium forth best iellv cake, and 600 sangamon county women en tered cakes in the contest. - 1 L J. . 'After sitting on the iellv cokes in a strictly judicial sense, of course the Committee, with an injudiciousness - which could only haye been superinduced by indigestion, awarded tne piano to Mrs. Sam Willet, whose cake was chieflT conwosed of anerels' food, and, therefore, open to the charge of not being strictly in the jelly-cake class. But what did tbe Committee, full of jelly and angel , cake, know or care about this? The angel cake, with its layers of jelly alternat ing from turret to foundation stone, so Jo speak, was fair to look upon, and the Committee fella victim to its wiles. The 599 women who had construct ed real jelly cakes were loud in their protest. They denounced the angel-food cake, despite its celestial' name, as a deceitful and devilish device. One lady. well up on topics of the track, denounced it as a "ringer," and entered, with the others, a for mal protest against the decision of the Jelly Cake Committee, the members of which bad by this time won the title of the "Jelly-headed Jays." ,' 1 bus the matter rests, if. the word "rests" is not wholly out of place in describing a situation where excitement and unrest hold sway from one end of San gamon" County to the other. The whole country is being scoured for expert evidence as to what constitutes a jelly cake. Delmonico'B testimony has been sought by telegraph, and as it has ft leaning toward the Mrs. Sam vv illet cake, some Spring field man may agaiu be obliged to call out the troops. , , Dos't shake a hornet's nest to see if any of the family are at home.

Chicago To Ask For $5,000,000 As was anticipated at the time the Chicagonians so confidently promised to furnish the money for the World's Fair if Chicago were selected as the site, Con gress is to be appealed to help the -enterprise out of its pecun iary embarrasment. ' The fair commissioners have 1 indorsed the action of ' the exposition company in deciding to apply to Congress for a "loan" of o 000,000. The "loan in all prob ability, will finally assume the form of a gift, as the country is now fully committed to the fair .Congress may be expected not to be too' exacting as to the character of tne ' apuropiation.

Georgia having refused to accept the home for disabled confederate soldiers which the citizens of Atlanta had provided at a ' cost of $100,000, the directors, of that institution have determined to close its doors, and the poor old maimed ; veterans will nave to stay out in the cold until anoth er legislature meets. It ; is charged, with what truth we cannot say, that the members of the Georgina legislature re fused to make the appropria tion that would have been ne cessary to meet the running ex penses of the home for disabled Confederates : because " they thought that their action would b criticised bv some of the Al liance leaders in the Northwest. If this is true, the spectacle is one which , we never expected te see in the South, a Southern legislature afraid to provide for a . few maimed soldiers who fought for the South bectdr-se they did not want to wound the feelings of the Northern soldi ers in Kansas and other North ern and Western States on whom the government is spend ing more than $100,000,000 a year in pensions. Whether this was the cause of the action of the Georgia legislature or whether they turned the old veterans out in cold on account of a sudden spasm of economy, it is very likely that the peoplo of Georgia will send to tha next legislature ' men of different v iews. The people of the North will despise the ' cowardice or the niggardliness of the Uourgia legislature in this matter just as thoroughly as will the people ot the South. Morgan t o:i Her ald. ' The Hoy that Advertmud. About the year 1850. a rouirh looking, gawky country boy, who thought there was some thing better to do than plod ajong between the plow handles, left his home and in his home spun clothes wended his way to the city of . Winchester, Va., and sought employment, lle rougnea u around a store lor awhile, in the days when it was uncommon to ask people to buv and almost a sin to advertise one's business. The boy chafed under restraint and determined to do something for himself ami in his own way. He scraped to gether a few dollars, rented u small room and placed in it such a stock of odds and ends, oh his money would purchase. Every body laughed and said the buy was crazy. But Charley did not stop to listen to the croak ers he rushed to the printing office, and caused the editor to elevate his spectacles and take the second look, when ho de manded a half column space then 1.000 posters and 5.ooo dodgers. But he got them and turned them loose, and he went back to his store and begau bukinesss, first with an auction every night later on day and night, and the printer was kept busy till Charley Kouss was heard of and know everywhere as the man who was almost giving goods away. For years this business went on, increas ing and prospering, till the young man made a fortune. L&nt year the Winchester papers had a glowing account of the banquet given by the city dignitaries in honor of their .oikvi, vuwic awuob, n acn York millionair, who had done so much for the upbuilding of their city." This was the boy that ad vertised. Greensboro Patriot. Dou't Hurry the Funerals A current item states that street cars4n Mexico are used for funerals.
