Straws that show the wind to be blowing in curious directions stand out before the observant eye in the workman's - parli ament at Newcastle, England. There was the hottest sort of a debate in the committee of . ar rangements over the proposition to drink the time honored toast of loyalty: "The Queen and the ltoyal Family." Heretofore her majesty has had no more faith f ul subject than . the British workingman, but on this oc casion he held out stoutly against the .usual toast.. At length it was modified to read, "The Queen and the Country," and was then allowed to go on the programme. Another sig nificant fact was that socialism is Creeping into the British workingman's thoughts. For merly the trades unionists gov erned the labor congresses en tirely aud socialism was repu diated as un-English, therefore wicked. But the old trades union leaders are losing their influence and men who hold so cialistic ideas are taking the reins. , Tue Denoly lltol. - To carry a pistol has become the rule with hundreds of thous ands of American people; but for one case where it does good, there are a thousand where no thing but harm results from it. No man or boy ought to carry a deadly weapon, except upon some very pressing and peculiar occasion. Thus y an ex change, and truthfully too. The little snapping pistols of the present day are a deadly weap on to the innocent. If you must give a boy any kind of fire arms by all means give him something besides a pistoL It is as natural for a pistol to turn its muzzle towards the holder as it is for a magnet to point to its proper place. As a weapon of defense it is hardly a success, inasmuch aa hundreds of in nocent persons suffer where there is one instance of good re sult ' KeKitonailnlitleM; r The fall term of our Superior courts are opening in the Vari ous districts in some counties they have already been held. Great are the responsibilities resting upon judges and juries. They have the safety and pro tection of the. people in their hands. They are a terror to evil doers if they discharge their duty faithfully. 71 he people look- to them as guardians of their lives, firesides and prop erty. They are expected, with out fear, favor, sympathy or affection, to see that the laws are rigidly enforced, and upon the efficient discharge of the duties devolving upon them largely depends th-) peace, prosperity aud good order of every com munity. In many places there is too lax an administration of law. Some men who aro guilty of very light offenses are punished severely and others who com mit very grave crimes are al lowed to go unpunished. . .The welfare of every com munity demands that there should be a ri$id, fair, just and impartial administration of law. Hallway ItuHdiuf. We have reached a point in the building of railways where an v mountain is tunneled through, or where atunnel road! is built from the foot to the summit, so as to keep the road tree from the dangers of glaciers or snow slides and any rivers or arm of the ocean is either bridg ed over or tunneled under, and the iron horse is set to do its accustomed work either above or below such bodies of water. It is claimed by experts that railway trains can be run at three or four times the speed that has been common thus fur since railroads have been in op eration. It is claimed that steam locomotives can be made to travel loo miles per hour, and now conies Professor Elihu Thompson who says that elec tricity will propel train from railway tracks over which such speed should be made would have to be constructed with special reference to the new kind of service as an accident to a railway train running 1(H) or 150 miles per hour would, in a common way, be of the most appalling kind. There is in France a railway now being operated by compressed air, box- shaped compressed air .recep tacles being furnished at cer tain stations along the line of road, but it is now believed that an air compressor can be made to work perfectly on a railway train as It moves along.

The stories which have been circulated of an intended diS' W. lav of the naval power of the nited States in thiuan waters may well cause amusement t .1 T 1 i 11...T. ine JNavy ueparcmem in yvuhii ington, where tha weakness of 1 "r ' -1 1 1 . ino navai lorco 01 tue vjtovciu mont is so well known. Toget such a display as has been men tioned vessels would have to be withdrawn from distant sta tions, where they are needed, to accomplish which much : time would be necessary. SeVeral years will elapse before the Government will be. in ai posi tion to make a formidably dis play of naval power in any por tion of the world, unless in the meantime circumstances should arise to render it necessary to cause the rapid construction of vessels. Until that - time ar rives greater care should be ob served in the selection of gov ernmental representative than was exercised when Mr.' Euan, who was not by any means a represetative man, was sent by the Harrison Administration to Chili. .... 1 Killed In tlio Hush. A despatch fromTopeka, Ka., says : Annette Daisy was kill ed in the rush for lots at.1 Chan dler yesterday by being thrown from her horse as she was mak ing her way up a rocky, defile. Her body wastrampelea upon by the maddened throng hast ening to find their way to the coveted land known as the "City of Rocks." Mist Daisy was well known through the West and South as a newspaper woman. She was in vie rush of April ' 22d, 1887, taking a claim near Edmund, and was then shot through the arm by a man who contested her right. She pluckily held her own, and, wounded as she was, secured her rifle and drove the intruder away. She was in the rush of the 22d, reporting it for Texas and Louisville papers nnd then went to Chandler to await the final grab, meeting her death by being in the front. 'iSha was a Kentucky girl and a Bohe mian in every sense, with a spirit of gentleness in her little body that endeared her to all who came in contact with her. A Keg of Powdor in a lllack ftinltu ttbop. At Mr. G.' W. Haines' saw mill about 2 miles from San ford, last Thursday morning a keir of powder exploded and dreadfully burned three white men and one negro. Some of the hands had set the keg of powder in the blacksmith shop on a shelf the evening before and these men were working in' there not having noticed that the powder was there. In all probability the keg of powder was unstopped and in welding a wagon tire a spark flew into it. The keg was setting with the seam toward the men and the explosion ripped it open and threw burning powder all over them. Mr. U. W. Itaincs the ?roprietor was nearest it and Ir. John Kimbell was next. They received the worst of it, Mr. Burnice Brown was right badly burned and so was John Davis col. but neither of the two latter seriously. Mr. Kaines rush ed out and ran some twenty yards to a tank of water and plunged into it, after which he was pulled out by ms workmen. Mr. Kimbell was not seen until he had torn nearly all his cloth ing off of himself. Sanford Express. Dispatches from Bloomington and Frecport, HI., represent that the heat in these sections is of a withering character. The grass is burning up and some farmers are begintng to feed their stock from what was intended to be the winter's store. The streams are nearly all dried up and the leaves are falling from the trees prema turely. Greater heat -and drought are not remembered by the older inhabitants. Congressman Cheatham has romovud his residence from Henderson to Littleton, Halifax county. This became a politi- cai necessity w aim, as mo i legislature, in redisricting the State, took Vance county out of tho Second district, and as he desires to bo returned to Con gress he had to move his resi dence and become' a citizen of the district he represents now. lie is the only colored member of that body.

A Faiuiuis.AfcHcutal Discovery Argand, the inventor of the fa mous lamp which boa rs his name had been experimenting for some time in trying to increase tna light givon out by his lamp, but all to no purpose. On a ta ble before him one night lay an old flask which had uccidently gotten the bottom broken off, leaving a long necked, funnel shaped tube. This Argand took up carelessly from the table and placed, almost without thought, as he afterwardly re latod, over the flame. A bril liant white light was the magi' cal result. It is needless to add that the hint was not lost by the experimenter, who proceeded to put his discovery into practical use by-i'inventing" the common glasslamp chimney. -Hundreds of discoveries which have been heralded to the world as the acme of human genius haye been the results of merest accident, the auger, calico print ing, ; vulcanization of rubber, etc., being among the number.

Southern negroes do not make much use of the tele graph, but the other day a colored brother entered the tele graph office at Americus, Ga., and handed the following mes sage to operator ; "I want to know is you dead." The mes sage was sent as directed, and as no reply has be received the partv addressed is probably dead sure enough. R. A. Yancey, a farmer who resides near Berea, takes the cake on large opossums. He went out a few nights ago and caught four, one of which weighed 26 pounds. Hie dogs scented him near the house and soon had him cornered.

Tho country newspaperman is of uocessity one of versatile talents.' lie is generally editor, reporter, proof-reader, composi tor, pressman, business : agent, book-keeper and subscription solicitor, if he escapes being al so devil and choro boy . he is hard it is to find a man compe tent to fill any . one of these places as well as they seem to be filled in some country offices, our admiration for those who have genius enough to fill them all is unbounded. Not only this, but the country printer works hard aud for, small pay. He knows nothing about an eight or ten hour day. The field in which he may gather his harvest is small. He is ex pected to served nearly every body, to help every public charity, entertainment and Im provement, to boom every new enterprise, to defend and ad veetise the town without pay, and to do it all without tread ing on any one's toes or offend ing any sect, party, faction or individual. And when it comes to the patronage that does pay, which is confined to tho sub scriptions and bald advertise ments, he takes it "out of tho store" or in "farm truck." Un doubtedly there are compensa tions, and some of them are of a more materia! character than the privilege of feeling that duty has beensuccessfully done, but on tho whole the task of publishing a country weekly is not a very profitable one, and it is often a thankless one. But it is done in nearly every vill age, done so well that many of our village weeklies contribute more to the prosperity and moral and material progress of thei-sections in which they are lacated than almost any other agency.
