Kcmarkable Ability In the Con duct of a Great Corporation's ' Affairs. Access to the officers of the American Tobacco Company is not easy, but one is permitted to admire the ability with which the affairs of that gigantic cor poration are conducted. To bring in a little bit of Latin, which even those who, like Shakespeare know but a trifle ot tnat extinct tongue, win un derstand, the Company is great on the "suaviter in modo. forti in re" policy; vlt is the suavest Dusiness corporation in the world, while on the other side of the comma which divides the famous classical quotation it is m nothing lacking. Uutside of the U. a. Tobacco Journal, and the State Department at Washington, no Dusiness enter prise in the United States has more braius behind it than the corporation over which Sir, James B: Duke' presides. This is not said in a spirit of persi flage, but is a sober tribute to an institution which deserves the highest respe t. The foregoing remarks are apropos of the latest innovation which the American Tobacco Company has set on foot. Bv circular the Company notified its customers that on and after October 1, 1891, the price of ci garettes would be $1, per thous and, instead of $3,85 as hither to. In addition to the regular discount of 2 per cent, for cash it would allow to the jobber or wholesaler in New York City and vicinity a rebate of 30 cents per thousand, and to the retail er a rebate of 50ctntsper thous and, r nor to October 1 the re bate bad been 10 cents and 20 cents to the jobber. On the face of the circular cigarettes advanced 15 cents per thousand, in tact, tney deemed 30 cents. By the same circular which is now being described jobbers are notified that a weekly state ment wiu be required from them of their sales to retailers. A jobber selling, sayl,0u0 cigar ettes, to a retailer gives tne re tailer a certificate to that effect. This certificate is redeemable at the end of every six months at the offices of the American Tobacco Company, at the rate 6f SO cents for every thousand cigarettes purchased by tne re lauer. do mat me American Tobacco Company becomes virtually a savings bank for the retailer, and the amount that he may withdraw from that savings bank is limited on ly by the quantity of his pur chases from the jobber or wholesaler, while the company enjoys the use of tha retailer's money for six months without cost. It is a brilliant business scheme, it is original with the American Tobacco Company, and it shows that the company's affairs are conducted with re markable business ability. U. S. Tobacco Journal. Editors va. Orator. Rev. Dr. Lafferty of the Rich mond Christian Advocate draws this vivid and pointed contrast between orators and editors., Being an editor himself the Doc tor naturally thinks the writer's "the better part," and makes out a strong cose in support of his view, itesays: "Orators as editors are fail- ores. Charles James Fox do- fined oratory as high common place. Fustian in musical voice and with graceful action tickles the crowd, la cold type it is as tasteless as th bet rot yester day's broaching and tuneless as a last year's bird-nest. The orator is the gold beater. The writer is the coiner, conduc ting a journal with a Demoath- inea as its chief senbo is like fallowing land with a balloon in the traces. Thn mould-board splits furrows in the air, and the plowhandU's drag along on the ground. The eloquences of the tnnguo i of necessity exagger ation. A battle fought with a kaleidoscope for a hrld glass, will end in a rout.' Excessive rhetoric dilates, like belladonna, the iris of the mind. Presently it produces a delirium tremens of hyperbole. If the victim but taste an adjective, he will swal low a dictionary. An editor al wars uperlatitive would upset with surplusage of sail tne saf est ship on the sea. Aaron was the orator, and his climax, a calf, clad in a glitter of gold." The statistics for I80ifor the pAHteur institute show that 1.- 610 patients were treated. The record tor me past uve years shows only .00 per cent, of deaths. A Groat Church Congreits An important convention of representative Christians are holding their first session injthis country at Washington. " It opened Tuesday. Five hundred delegates are present. It is the second ecumenical Methodist conference. .The first was held in London last rear. This gath ering will represent Pan-Me thodism. It will comprehend delegates from every civilized nation in 'the world. 'fTThe "del egates from the American con tinents are expected to outnum ber those from foreign lands Many Vital and interesting questions of religious doctrine and church government wul be debated by the most eminent living Methodist. In intellec tual ability and moral dignity the conference adequately re presents one of the most aggres sive and widely extended of Protestant Christian churches. The Globe Trotter Married. Miss Elizabeth Bisland, the well known magazine writer and traveler, was married Tuesday evening to i harles VV. Wetmore of the Waleback steamer line. The ceremony was performed by Jlev. Dr. Iloughton at the Church of the Transfiguration, in the presence of the immedi ate family of the bride. Miss Bisland is a nature of Louisiana. Her first start in life was by making butter, which she carried to market her- j self. Eventually she became a writer on the New Orleans Time Democrat. 1 :.f From New Orleans she went to New York and engaged in lit erary work. A trip against time around the world was made by her after which the plucky young woman made her home in London for some time. Her husband is well known in shipping ani yachting circles. ; Senator Gorman displayed good sense when, a few days ago, he discountenanced further proceedings on the part or a cluo which bad been organized in Washington for the express Purpose of booming him for the residency. Upon being in formed that the movement was not agreeable to the Maryland Senator, the club very properly decided to confine its efforts to the promotion of the cause of de mocracy. By circulating docu ments and assisting in clerical work during the campaign next year, the club may do excellent service, but as a Presidential boomer ' it would not have amounted to a row of pins. fcfl-Kora ltaali.

It is a new "de sert." Every man knows a good use to which some other man might put his money. Good laws are of little avail when bad men are depended upon to enforce them. It is hard to reconcile the two facts that the Lord, made man an i that tha Lord never made a mistake. Wild flax is indigenous to Montana, and grows luxuriant ly everywhere.

The man who can do an hon est day's work when the circus is in town never has to wear his shoes out in looking for em ployment. Anew acid for commercial use, called hydozic acid, has been discovered- It dissolves all metals and makes a very bad smell. Trade is crowding into Fifth avenue, New York, so fast that fashionable people are taking to the side streets, where rents have in consequence doubled. Women who know how to cut dresses earn from $25 to $U0 a week. They are not numer ous. Tho men master the trade and their salaries vary fropifl, 800 to $2,600 a year. A little girl in Pennsylvania, who had an attack of dyspepsia la Winnipeg they auk $20 a foot less for a corner lot than, for an inside one, because it costs so much to clear off the snow in tha winter around cor ner lots that people don't pre fer them.

Quad in New York World. FiratLove. Ask any young lady what she thinks of "first love," and she will tell you that it is the quin tessence of all that is ecstatic, compared with which any so called love that may come after it must be as sky-blue skim med milk to clotted cream. Put i he same question to an enamor ed young gentleman of eigh teen, and he will vow that it is the champagne of human exis tence, to which all subsequent emotions dignified with the name of love are mere Jersey cider.. But the mature of both sexes, in nine cases out of ten, can tell a different story. . Boy-and-girl love is but a faint shadow of the intense passion which often overcomes and en thralls the middle-aged. The capacity for loving is not fully developed in the young miss who has just cast aside her dolls, nor in the youth whose chin is but newly acquainted with the razor. The enthusi asm of these novices in the ten der passion is generally evanes cent. Ofconrse, there are ex ceptional cases, hut as a gener al rule, love does not take firm root in the heart before the age af twenty-five. Professions of undying devotion from young men of nineteen or twenty are rarely to be trusted. The ques tion which a lady who receives an offer or marriage should con sider is not merely whether she won the affections of her ad mirer, but, also, whether, if won she can keep them. To have and to hold are two things. New York Ledger. A most remarkable alloy of gold and aluminium is now un der the examination of scien tists. It is of a beautiful, rich purple color. This royal metal will make a handsome addition to thoso now used for purposes of adornment. From all ac counts it seems amenable to the methods of jewelers in making their gold ornaments. .

The will of Mrs. James K Polk, widow of President Polk was filed for probate at Nash ville, Tenn.. the 3rd of this month. Mrs. Polk says: "This is my last will and testa ment. I express my profound obligations to the people of the State of Tennessee and of the United States, tor the many kindnesses of which at their hands I have been the recini- ent, and I regret my means are so limited that I am not able to mark by some substantial bene taction oi a puonc nature my appreciation of the many favors bestowed . upon me during the many long years of my widow. hood. The happiness of the people of the State and of the United States is my daily pray er. The books, pamphlets, etc., constituting the political libra ry of my late husband, I give to the State of Tennessee." She then bequeathes portraits of Jefferson and Madison to the Tennessee Historical Society. One thousand dollars is left to the executor of the estate, her brother, John M. Childress. The residue of the estate, including manuscript letters and cor respondence, of the President, is left to her adopted daughter, Mrs. George W. Fall. This in cludes the household furniture and a twenty-nine thousand dollar certificate of indebted ness from the State of Ten nessee, , representing funded bonds. Commended to Aneloiuuiiliics. Nothing illustrates the com parative estimation in which women are held m Ureat Britain and America better than an incident that happened late ly at a working girl's r fair in England. The occasion was the festival of the Girls' Friendly society. Of course various per sonages from ' the "superior ranks" stooped from their heights to patronize these humole creatures in their own proper sphere, lhere were prizes ottered, for the various accomplishments supposed to befit females in the humbler walks of life. Among the prizes so offered his high mightiness the bishop of Beford gave three first, second and third best for what? Was it making preserves or bread or ironing or perhaps the artistic arrangement of the dinner .tables? Well, no it wasn't. It was for boot clean ing and blacking. The untish hired gin must clean the mud off her master's boots and black them. If there are several crown sons in tne amily, their foot coverings go along too, and the creature who does the household labor has a whole assortment to go over every morning, liere isaniaaa tor our Angiomaniacs. li them set the hired girl to black ing boots as a part of her work, and at the next festival oL tne Working Girl's club, in the midst of the musical perfor mances and the papers on lit erature, let us have a boot black ing contest among the girls, with a bishop to boss it. Tne War Problem. We read about the war'prob lem in Europe. The whde af fair is clear as mud. Russia's demonstrations are omiuous. France believes thai. Germany only seeks an excuse for hostil ities, and she herself is thor oughly satisfied with her army and ready for the encounter. Is all this significant of a great struggle or is it the usual continental game of bluff and brag? That is rathor hard to ans wer; but if war comes it will be cause there is no way to get out of it. The people in Russia have no voice and the whole matter depends upon the action of one man, who like the Indian chief designated by the name of Young-man-afraid of-his-horse, there is no telling what he may do as is the case of all men im pelled by fear and not by reason. So what will be the outcome ot all the talk about war in the East is little known and can be predicted with as little certainty as the decision 'of the fickle maiden who would be surprised to realize that she had any opin ion on any subject and who as a ruin had ever been governed by impulse and sentiment. the other day, described the sensation very concisely when she said: "I dess I must have eaten my dinner on top of my breaf." TheTaatof the Keaaon. The Greensboro PatriotTsays: Capt. White, superintendent of the Fisher Hill Gold Mining Co., who lives six miles south of Greensboro is our authority for the following snake story, r- A few weeks ago he had a child watching an old guinea hen which was laying desiring to find the nest and not let the hen set so late in the season. Tho child soon found the cruinea at a large stump, but it seemed un willing to go into the stump which was hollow. Udou en. ing up to the stump tho child was badly frightened upon see ing a largesnake stick its head out of the hollow. The child was not lonir in eettincr baclc to the house with the information. &Capt. White took his crun. an axe and a hoe, and several chil dren large enough to help him. He fired upon the snake which he saw, and killed it. He then proceeded to split '.'the stumn open, and found -it. full of good sized hiuh'and " moccasins. which he killed to the number of twenty one. The next day he went brck to the stump and found another snake, and killed it. The snakes had. no doubt. been attracted to the stumn bv the guinea'eggs of which most snakes are very fond. This,, however, is merely conjecture, as Capt. Wliite failed to see if they had teen eating the eggs, f A Durham man'said the oth er day that a snake was caught east of hero recently that bad swallowed two dozen duck eggs. The eggs were taken out of the snake and placed under a duck and the duck hatched th m out and raised them. Will -the Patriot please inform us which is the mother of the chick ens, the snake that laid the ecrzs. or the duck that hatched them? Recorder. 1 Cninpreiisi-d Air JMotor. The attention of mechanics and inventors is becoming awakened to the great motive possibilities that lie in com pressed air. At the Franklin institute in Philadelphia Mr. Coleman Sellers said that 50, 000 horse power could be con veyed in the shape of compress ed air for a distance of twenty miles through two pipes, by simply utilizing some of the tremendous compressing force of the descending stream of wa ter at is lagara alls. Various methods no.v being tried to get the pressure on the air show that it can be obtained more economically than has heretofore been supposed. As the air leaves the tubes to enter the engine it has been found that a great gainr.is instantly made by a device for r heating it. Only an insignificant amount ot fuel is required for this. At present compressed air is used as a motor on some of the Eng lish street railroads. In Paris the compressed air motor is becoming exceedingly popular. It is even employed witn success to drive electric dynamos. In Berlin a central compressed air plant supplies power to a number or manufac turing establishments. On the English street railways itjhns been found that fifty cubic feet of compressed air are all that is necessary for a car to carry. loanable. A philological statistician calculates that in the year 2,000 there will be 1,700.0HUH). pe pie who speak Engliuh, and that the other European lan guages will be spoken by only 600,000,000. Some land in Paris has been sold at the rate of $2,000,000 per acre: some in London for what would net $5,000,000 per acre, and some in New York for a sum equal to $8,000,000 per acre. The following epitaph is in Lanesboro, 8. C: "Here lies Jane Smith, wife of Thomas Smith, marble cutter. This monument was erected by her husband as a tribute to her memory and a specimen of his work. Monuments of this same style, $250." It v. llraiitley York Uead, A special to the State Chroni cle from Forest City in this State says: Rev. Brantley York, D. D., died in great peace on yesterday at the home of his son, Rev. B. A. York, at the ripe age of nearly 87 years. He has been a minister of tho gos pel for over sixty years, has preached over 6,000 sermons and delivered over 2,000 lectures. He rests from his labors.
