A very proper and commend
able disposition has been mani
fested by the newspapers to rest
the discussion about the propos
ed extra session of Congress un
til the Republican Senate can
have time to show its hand. If
it manifests a disposion to heed
the voice of the people, as ex
pressed at the poles on the 8th
of; last month, and shall pass
tho relief measures sent over to
it by the Democratic House du
ring the first session of the
Fifty Second Congress there
will be no necessity for an extra
session. On the other hand, if
they fail to grant the relief
prayed for, we can surely trust
to Mr. Cleveland's coed sense
and patriotism to take such' ac
tion as the circumstances seem
to warrant.

Our exchanges are full of big
hog stories. The hogs are said
to weigh from 200 to 700 pouuds
each. This is fresh evidence of
what is already known that as
large hogs can be raised in
North Carolina as any w unrein
the world-
Very few of our farmers can
make any money tinder present
conditions, and the best thing
in the world to do is to raise
something to eat and wear.
Meal can he bought at low
prices for ash at any time, but
there is no rasa to pay tor it.
Hence the wisest thing to do is
to raise it yourself. If you can
raise one good hog, it will prove
a good thing for your family.

The persecuted Jews, even of
of the favored upper class, can
no longer resort to an enforced
deception in the matter of a pro
fession of the orthodox faith in
Russia, for the reason that they
must now go out and live three
years in an ancient monastic
village, an hour's distance from
Moscow, to submit their piety
to the daily inspection of the
resident monks, before they can
continue their residence in the
former capital of the Moscovite
Empire. It is said that the
latest ukase, subjecting the un
happy Jew to immediate jexpui
sion from Russia unless he be
comes baptized in the Orthodox
Church, affects about 1,500 peo

A Blood-Cur stline Execution
Yesterday la Paris.
Paris, Dec. 16. Eugene Cram
pon, tne murderer oi two men,
this morning paid the penalty
for his crimes, and the canaile
that gathered to see his execu
tion greatly enjoyed the spec
tacle afforded by the miserable,
cowardly wretch as he was liter
ally carried to the guillotine. It
was generally Known tnat tne
excution would occur in the
Place de La Roquette this morn
ing, and long before daylight
the crowd began to gather.
Rude jests were bandied about
and the usual scenes that make
disgraceful the carrying out of
the death sentence in Paris
were enacted.
Grim and awful the red guil
lotine looked up ahead of the
little party. Walking afoot
Crampon raised his eyes and
saw it. With a terrible shriek
he threw himself backwards
and fell to the ground. All
efforts to induce him to rise
were fruitless and he groveled
on the flagstones, begging most
oiteouslv for his life.
It became necessary to lift
Crampon to his feet, but even
then he hung limp in thoir arms,
and they were compelled to
carry him to the guillotine.
While some of the assistants
supported hiu others quickly
bound him and threw him
against the bascule. Evtn then
he did not cease his struggles.
His contortions were terrible
but they did not last long. The
lancule was dropped into place
and the assistants shovod it
forward until Crampons neck
rested in position under the
knife. Silently and like a streak
of light, the bright blade
fell and Crampton's head
dropped into tke open basket
awaiting it. The execution
was the most horribte ene that
has been wituessed in Paris in
many years.
Almost a Fensation was creat
ed in the House, when the army
appropriation bill, which was
Fassed last week, was taken up
or consideration, by an amend
ment proposed by Representa
tive Anthony, ot Texas, pro
viding that no payment of
salary should be made from the
appropriation to any person
receiving a pension or allowance
from the Government.

to people who are not responsi

FOR the first time In tri a riintnrr

if the law against carrying

enforced some people would
have to carry their tongues out
