A Wonderlui Book.
An enterprising Buffalo man
has sot out a wonderful book,
in which he runs in,' in short
lengths, the fifty best books of
the world. The book is design
ed, ne says, ror "busy people."
By busy people' presumably
meaning such persons as aro
able to do their reading and get
it li. 1 i . . 1
meir cuuure oniy in snaicuos
as they go; persons who want
the fruit of the gods, but who
haven't time to pluck it ripened,
and who will take it therefore
boiled down and canned, as fit
for the delectation of persons
whose main business in life is
getting something better than
mere culture. This is American
enterprise. When Gerald Mas-
say made his latest visit here a
few years ago, the question was
asked him, what one feature in
our intellectual lite he found
most striking. With a laugh,
he answered: - "Your libraries
of universal knowledge, in five
volumes." Then he went on
seriously to say: "But it is per
fectly appalling, you know, the
way you people fancy you can
take down your culture as you
do your food, in great gulps,
and the demand there is among
you for knowledge of every
kind in iU abridged and con
densed form.'.', That 's true; ev
ery word of it. We're not will
ing to wait for that distilling
process which must goon in the
mind before knowledge can be
come culture. 1 he impatient,
almost indecent haste with I
which we snatch our learninz
does not develop certain quali
ties of the mind. Perhaps it is j
the secret of the fact that the
American writers have written
some of the best short stories of
this or some other time. But we
shall never quit being a smart
people And begin to be a learned
people until we stop trying to
know about things instead, of
learning them.
It l a Queer World.
Nothinjref recent occurrence
has so stirred up the indigna
tion of. the quidnuncs as the
discovery that a Chicago tw
y ear-old baby smokes .a pipe
with evident relish. Hands are
held tin in holv horror in everv
circle of moral mugwumpery at
the picture of parental indul
gence thus presented. Carica
tures have already been made
of this latest Chicago monstros
ity wiin a dudeen in its mouth,
and the few good people who
are doing missionary work in
tnat wicked western metropolis
cry "shame" and threaten to
haul the offending parents up
with a judicial round turn. Of
course this wave of indignation
is not inexcusable, but is strikes
the Si's as simply another evi
dence of what a queer world we
live in, or what queer people
live in the world, if you like
that better. Now if that child's
parents had transmitted to it a
disease of some other sort, a
consuming appetite for whisky
to be developed later on, for in
stance, or an unconquerable
tendency to crime or pauperism,
nobody would have concerned
himself about the case at all.
Verily, the ethlics of some
would-be moralists are wonder
fully warped, and mountains
and molehills get sadly mixed.
Jerry Simpsow lain TnnnVo
He has just returned from Ohio,
where he has been t&kinir n
active part in the campaign.
He said in answer ta a oneatmn
about the political situation: "It
at
is aosoiuieiy dead, uur party
is the on ly one that is doing any
thing that can raise any en
thusiasm. The Republicans and
Democrats are net taking much
interest in the campaign." The
Republicans, he says, advertise
their meetings beforehand, have
brass bands. &c. and thon rnn
only get 200 or 3uu people out to
aueua mem. lie was greatly
surprised at this, too, for the
"lying papers" had so distorted
me lacis mat no it ad expected
to see immense crowds. Jerry
said that in his htnt UiA fmnnt

mm m t...!- a
uvr. mo rvTuiution against

Sum Working Women's Wgs.
It is probable that New York
represents t both - extremes 'of
wages, high and low.' for both
men and women workers in this
country. But even in this city
01 me east, wnere mo condi
tion of life for working women
are supposed to be much harder
than they are in tne west, mere
are some ladies wbo get at least
enough money to support a bus
band handsomely.,' A few in.
stances will show .that -this is
the case. , 4 . f.t
'.The highest salaried woman
in America, apart, 01 - course,
from a tew actresses and sing
ers, is Mme, Cottrelly, the stage
directress, wbo received - at
Palmer's theater $10,400 a year.
The woman editor of a New
York fashion monthly receives
$80 a week over $4,000 a year,
Cynthia Westover, the linguist
and mathematician, rot $1,600 a
year as private secrtaery of the
New York street commissioner.
She resigned from this place to
take entire charge of a retail
business which will pay her
$2,000 a year. The reputation
she won for shrewdness and
financial capacity inthe street
department gained for her the
other situation. '
The New York World men
tions a number of ladies who
get wages that '; might make
some men want to be women.
Mrs H. McK. Twombly pays her
housekeeper $3,000 a year and
her : nursery , governess $40 a
month. Mrs. John D. Rockefe-
her Davs the vouner woman tutor
of her daughters $2,000 a year.
Mme. Clara N eymann is well
known throughout the country
as a speaker and advocate of
woman 's ngbts and various re
forms. Mme; Nermann re
duced her advanced ideas to
practice by educating her tal
ented daughter as a dentist, and
now the bright young woman
gets $10 for tilling a tooth. In
the journalistic world perhaps
fifty women in the big city re
ceive from $15 to $75- a wek.
Contrasted to these are several
hundred newspaper - women
writers who are paid all the way
from nothing to $15 a week.
Business pays better than
anything else, if a woman can
reach a place at the top, which
some few have ' succeeded in
doing. There are foreign buy
ers and managers of depart
ments who get from $1,000 to
$3,000 a year. -Those ' who are
able to design and, originate
new stylet are best paid. At
least one woman in a' great dry
goods house receives t .3,000. In
fashionable dressmaking tne
leading fitter is worth to her
employer $65 a week, and gets
it. But for every one of these
highly paid working women
there are at least 500 who work
hard every week for from $3 to
$5.
Governor Bcrklet. of Con
necticut, who has -retained of
fice for eight or nine months in
defiance of the ' wishes of the
people, now announces his de
termination to resist decision of
the Supreme Court of that State,
should the same be adverse to
the claim which he makes that
he is entitled to retain the place
until the Legislature settles the
matter. As he is the head and
front of the conspiracy, by
which the election was thrown
into the Legislature not for
settlement, but to perpetuate
Republican rule by failing to do
anything it is not surprising
mat ne is wuwug to resist iuc
mandate of the court .named.
The Connecticut usurper tea
fair representative of the men
whe have had control . of the
Republican party for years,

thods obtained, is what they
have been striving for, and the
end with them has always justi

than we had expected, ;and is
very creditable to our Bute.

! The Latest Bora Chant,
t Some writer " speculates on
what would 'have happened if
the inventive - genius of t James
Watts had been directed te the
development of electricity., in
stead of steam. It . is a fact
more 01 lessjwell known that he
bad constructed an electrical
machine previous, to making a
"go" 01 tne steam engine. - u

tor a 100 years tne nowenng out

But at the rate at which elec
trical invention is progressing
now: tne younrer : giant : will
speeduy overtake and pass the
elder. It is quite probablejthat
for street railways In a ; few
years there will be po motor
used but electricity, t There are
in the United States at present
350 electric street , railways in
place of only three five years
agd. The storage battery sys
tem, imperfect as it Is. has been
demonstrated, it is claimed, by
actual experiment ; to be 7 per
cent, cheaper than horse power,
ibe electric elevator in build
ings is bo 'rapidly-taking' the
place of that propelled by steam

1,000. such -elevators in use in
the country. Printing presses,

The mam difficulty to be over
come at present is the source of
power to run the - dynamos.

electricity directly from coal

leves he . can do the . same
There is yet one source of pow
er, however, that has never yet
been utilized as it might be.
That is the force of the current
of rivers. Niagara will shortly
send millions of horse power
throughout the whole adjacent
region, if the signs are to be re-
eu on .. . '
tin Germany power has al
ready been transmitted elec
trically a distance of over a
hundred miles. The currents of
ordinary rivers and running
streams every where have are

cient to drive all the machinery
needed if only the genius can
come who will evolve it from
the descending water. That it
ill be done there is no room
for doubt. We are on the eve
of greater mechanical achieve
ments than man h as yet dream
ed of. The capital invested in
electrical appliances amounts
already to hundreds of millions
of dollars. It will be as much
more before the ultimate po
sibtlities of; this mysterious
agent are wrought out.
Less Law and More Badsc.
A good man who wants to re
form the evils of society calls
attention to the number of mur
ders the past year, arising from
the pernicious practice of carry
ing concealed weapons. The
array is something ghastly of
these souls that were put out of
the world through pistol, knife
and raxor. Tne reformer there
upon demands that more laws
shall be passed against the
carrying of concealed weapons,
especially by minors. Let them
be heavily fined .when caught,
and made an example of, says
b.
. Very good. But if our refdmer
will look on the statutes of ev
ery large city in this Union, it
he will examine the laws of the
states, he will find already stiff,
doubled and twisted laws
against the very thing he com
plains of, carrying concealed
weapons. What law can do
law has already done. If our
reformer would diminish the
number ' of murders by raxor
and pistol, let him go among
the people themselves and teach
them that if they never carry a
pistol they will never murder
anybody with one. Teach them
that in a civilised community it
is only the coward and the
sneak who carry a weapon; the
brave man defends himself
with his fists, when defense is
necessary, which is not often.
Let our reformer teach a com
munity to be good naturedand
honest and then the laws against
carrying concealed weapons
can be enforced. It is the only

Cleveland as a Photographer
1 In his great SDeech at Brook
lvn Mr. Cleveland incorporated
mis comprenensive sentence:
'The party we oppose, rest
ing upon no fundamental prin
ciple, sustaining a precarious
existence upon a distorted sea
timent and depending for sue
cess udou the varan? currents
of selfish interests and popular
misconception, can not endure
the sight of a community which
is inclined , to withstand its
blandishments and which re
fuses to be led away by its mis
representations."
Never, perhaps, have a few
skillful stroke completed a more
peneot picture, a more speaic-
mg likeness, than this. Every
line is mercilessly true to the
original. v
The Republican nartv rents
upon no fundamental nrinciDle.
it advocates a tariff to make
certain lines of business profi
table, and yet surenuouuly con
tends that its policy makes
prices lower.
it advocates a revenue sys
tem tor tne purpose of checking
imports, and at the same time
claims credit for the increase of
imports.
it condemns free trade as lit
tle short of treason, and then
goes before the people and
boats that it has given the coun
try the largest measure of free
trade which it has even enjoyed.
it claims to be the friend of
civil service reform, and yet
tramples it to death whenever
it bas tbe opportunity, and car
ries partisanship even into the
work of enumerating the peo
ple and preparing statistics; a
thing that was never done or
attempted by any other party.
in its national platform it at
tacks the Democratic party for
being tne foe of silver; in its
State platforms, in editorials
and in speeches it attacks the
same party for being too much
the friend of silver.
It professes a consuming zeal,
an unwavering devotion, for

deprives States of self-gov

representative seats and Gov
ernorships with unvarying re
gularity whenever it has an op
portunity. ibe precarious existence of
the party is dependent entirely
upon its ability to mislead the
public as to its aims and pur
poses. It is all things to all
men, and constant only in its
studied efforts to deceive.
The Republican party is an
anachronism. It has no cause
to show why it should not be
dissolved except tnat its appe
tite for office is still robust and
insatiable. Louisville Courier-

Bashful Men.
Are there any bashful men
now extant among us? Not
among the rising generation of
xoung American" most sure
ly. Perhaps such may exist in
the form of some anti-quarian
from his lair, may be covered
with confusion, trying to make
a bow or frame a compliment
after the latest approved mode.
But let the etiquette lover meet
one of these recluses on his own
"hunting ground" and it would
be he who would be the bashful
man. We are inclined to the
opinion, which will no doubt be
comforting to the diffident and
blushing of both sexes, that
bashfulness and brains are
?nerally found in company,
our-self -confident person is
f generally the one who has the
east ballast. N. Y. Ledger.

' Tothe Alliance.
Dear brethren: we have es
poused a noble cause wo want
to elevate man! To accomplish
any great design, there must be
co-operation, we must combine
together, act in harmony with
each other. "In union there is
strength." King Solomon saw
this 3,000 years ago when he in
stituted the mansonic order with
all its grand symbolic teaching:
and David, no doubt, belonged
to some social order when ho
wrote that beautiful and im
pressive Psalm: "Behold how
good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in
unity." I will not repeat the
whole Psalm. God made man a'
social being and the Devil is
striving to destroy every thing
that is good and noble in man.
Dear brethren we should strive
to raise the st tndard of public
sentiment in reference to good
morals. It has pleased the sov
ereign disposer to cast our lot in
a period of mighty plans and of
high moral efforts for the bene
fit of the world. Remem ber the
brevity of life; that wo 6hall
soon pass from the stage of hu
man action. Be kind to all.
Kindness is like a calm and
peaceful stream that reflects
every object in its just propor
tion." You will be sure to meet
with difficulties; but if you go
forward these difficulties will
vanish away just at the right
time. Take, for instance, the
Children of Israel at the Red
sea. Just behind them was an
army under strict discipline,
well drilled, well armed, a set of
bloody thirsty heathen, who had
just been deprived of their prop
erty and of their firstborn. To
tell into their hands was in
stant death. Look before them
and they see a storm battling
with tbe mighty waves of the
sea; for , we are told that the
Cord caused a strong east wind
to blow all that night. 'But to
make this august scene look
still more frightful, the heav
ens above them are being ap
parently consumed by fire (for
we are told that the cloud that
led them by day was a piller of
fire by night) and while the
sraelites. panic stricken with
fear, stood gazing on this august
scene, they hear the command
Sven to go forward. What, is
oses going to dfive them in
among those angry waves? but
just then they see a mighty
wave sweeping the bottom of
the sea; it rolls up like a moun
tain, it is held quiverm" in the
air by the finger of God until
the last Israelite is safe on the
farther shore. Then it is tu rue 1
oose to deal out death and
destruction upon their enemies.
Then dear brethren let us press
forward in the discharge of our
duties feeling assured that those
difficulties which beset our pal h
on every side will vanish awuy
at tne proper time. A. 31 C, in
Sanford Express.

A JCortU -Carolina Town Hold.
The town of Tillery has, we
learn, been sold to the Carolina
Lumber company for $40,000.
This town was laid off by Mr.
J. R. Tillery on his land when
the Scotland Neck railway was
built and he had never sold any
lots, although he had plenty of
applications to buy, but would
always put up nouses tor any
one who desired to live and do
business there. The Carolina
Lumber Company has for some
time had a large lumber plant
there and now own the whole
town. They also, we hear,
purchased Sir. Tillery's farm,
adjoining the town. Roanoke
