THE DURHAM RECORDER. IE. C. HACKNEY, Proprietor WEDNESDAY Jan. 9, 1895. The bluff subscriber will uever be a success. Wk are like a pine tree, we can stand any weather. The Republicans and Populists took charge of the State today. Robust people only come into court, such weather as this, says Esquire Barbee. Tom Settle is in Raleigh help ing the Legislature to efect a Re publican to succeed Senator Jarvis. There is no swaybacks among the boys in this town, and in a few days the news will be wallow ed to your door by a Herald boy, Geo. Poythkess brought us a good load of wood Monday, and savs the worst hole that he runs across these days is at the top of his pocket-book. We must not carry our sympa thy to the front gate, says Geo. W, Poythress, Esq., and he drop us a good load of wood. Why cau't you all do likewise ? The Republicans in Congress have notified the Democrats that they will do nothing with the measure providing for the collec tion of the income tax until alter three Senatorial vacancies in the northwest and one in this State ire filled by Republican Sena tors We wore our straw hat un til it caused a sensation, but as luck would have it, the police saw to it that we didn't go out of Durham. 1 f we were in the trust business we would wear a silk hat, but at present, we will let it go at that. Whack up, and that will en able us to whach up with those we owe. The man who owes the printer and is aide. to pay him in some way can't lay down at night, singing, 'Bringing in the sheaves.' It is no plea fur help for service not rendered, but a demand for services rendered and a just debt. The Democrats should be up and doing frame a financial bill which will suocessfully meet the present situation. If they fail to do this it mav be the last time for many years that they will have power to do so. The coun try from the Pacific to the Atlan tic are looking to Congress for financial relief, and they should act . promptly in the matter of framing a suitable bill. Ch it law-makers met today, and the weather is tough, and Col. U. E. Can-says, Uon touching scene sometimes the heavens rain tears. If by their labors we are made better, well and good, if not we must take what com-. We have nothing to ipgt to that body They do not want counsel from this pajt-r; they accept it only from nearer and dearer ones. They will attend to the affairs of the State, and what they do we wil! know hereafter. Dikham s young pugilicts fought la.4 Thursday. He nailed pretty hard on the horn The fellow that received the blow was one of the best U-haved of men we ever Haw. These two pugilixls ought never to fight out- aide of a ring.

'Of theirfor- manee in Charlotte Tuesday night irs of yesterday says: A roue ing big crowd saw the rising of the curtain over Lncle Tom's- Cabin at the ojwra bonne last night. It was the firt time this old j.lay hai pcared before a Charlotte HU Jience in years, and tartly at tracted by curiosity' and partly through the enticing strains of their really clever band, n crowd ed I houses assembled to see it through. The troup has some very good eople with them, and the specialty work was in all cases very good. Little Eva was the star of the prformance, and her skirt dance a la Lottie Col- ins was capital, and a ve"ry gen erous encore was given her. The characters of several slaves would liave been decidedly more realis tic, had a little burnt cork been brought into service. They were in several cases the whitest of the white. But taken everything in to consideration the play was de cidedly better than the usual pro- luctions of the same show. Old Tom was very clever and received a liberal round of applause on several occasions. The tableaux and scenic effectswcrevery good with the exception of the ascen sion of Eva. This scene was very tvautitul, had it not been for Eva's heavenly flight with a background ordinary red brick. But this was not the fault of the troupe. Tickets on sale at Vaughan's drug store.

The fact that on the first of new year Mr. St. John came from the great city of Chicago, laying aside the posit ien of Gen eral Manager of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad, and takes his position in Nor folkandPortsmouth, ("no mean cities-' of the South,) as Vice President of the great "Sea board Air Line" system of rail ways, indicates that in one no table instance, at least, the "course of empire'' has changed leaving the prairies ol the West for the pine forests and cotton fields of the South. While the people of the South sorrowfully shake the hand of whole-60u!ed Maj. Winder, as he gracefully lays aside the responsibilities of active busi ness life and retires from official position to a well-earned rest from its cares and perplexities. they welcome to their midst Mr. it. John, whose name and the name of the road he was sc lately associated with, are known from one end of the United States to the other True it is that some have look ed with apprehensive eyes upon the coming of Mr. St. John to his new fie'd of labor. They have even c' aimed that the pop ular seaboard Air-Line system was to pass into the central of New York and western capital ize, to the injury of the Soutl r p t ineir iears, nowever, are eruiindltj-s. The Seaboard Air- Line is stiil in the hand of Southern Managers, and wil continue to be a benefit and blessing as long as a wheel roll over its rails. The coming of Mr. St. John means a glance at business from a new standpoint. It seems to set new ideas inm-tion;(anrf if you don't get an idea in mo tion it is like "faith withon: work.") It means a reaching out on all lines, a broad inir plans and policies. It meant that the local interests of th road will be pushed vigorously His coming means the SotiU will be added to, and not taken from; that there will be a de velopment a building up and that energies that are now lying dormant will be infused with life and activity. Mr. St. John can properly be called a self made man as far as them's any meaning iu the ex pression. At to early age he began the bread and a place in the world's ranks, supporting a widowed mother when only a mere lan, lie was caught in tha western current of immi gration in im, going tnm his New England home fa Counec ticut to Ouincjr, Illinois, where he began work in the offices of the Ouiucf. and Toledo ItaiU ro&dsat 3 a month. From there he was sent to Springfield to assist in the general ticket de part men t of the Great Western Road of Illinois. In 1SQ3 he en tered the eervice of the railroad with which he has been associ ated ever since. From one po sition to another he was ad vanced until, in September, '87, he was appointed General Man. agerof the entire Rock Island system. As a general Manager Mr. St. John took a deep interest in the patrons of his . road. He has been a persistent advertiser, ac ting on theptincipal of letting the people know if you have a good thing. To his employees he was ever kind and consider ate. They could approach him and receive his attention. This conduct gave Mr. St. John the respect of all Lis employees, even the nuinblest or tnem realizing that there was a bond of sympathy between General Manager and himself Not only did Mr. St, John have the esteem and confidence of the humbler railroad em ployees, but the Generals Man agers Association of Western railroads, of which he was Chairman, adopted resolutions on his retirement that tell the story of the estimation in which he was held by competing rail roads. Tne new Vice President ot the Seaboard Air Line has come South to cast in his fortunes with the Southern people. The remainder of his life will be spent here. He will devote his energies to advocating and pushing forward on the line of ievelopment of the great and diversified resources of the South and surely he will be met with a ghearty welcome from a generous and hospitable-people Frank P.

Castor!. GRIZZLIES OF IDAHO. A Taalt Aireemsnt with Men In tha Early Day Jot to 3Joli Each Other. -"Speaking of (frizzly- bears," said Judge Henry I. Warren to a New York Gun man, "we didn't look on these an-' tmals as particularly dangerous' in Idaho when I was the United States district attorney of that territory. If a man attacked one at close quarters be sometimes got killed, but at a lit tle distance sot much more attention was paid to bears than If they had been so many hogs or cattle. Dctwoen human being and the bears there seemed to be at that time a tacit agreement to let one another alone. "One of my hardest horseback trips led me through a wild region where I often saw bears.' At one point the trail crossed an open valley, dotted with scattering big trees and clumps of underbrush, and on the further side wound up a steep mountain aide through thick oak and pine woods. Coming down into that valley one day I saw, a little way off on my right, ' five bears, two very large ones and three smaller ones, constituting pos sibly a family party. They were run ning about here and there nosing the ground, turning oter stones and knock ing to pieces rotten logs, hunting for mice and grubs. They apparently paid no attention to me a I rode post, one hundred and fifty yards' awny. My horse looked a little wild and fidg eted some at the sight of them, but I kept him in the trail without diillculty. "At another time a bear gave me considerable of a scare. I hod just crossed this same valley and was Just beginning to ascend the wooded heights beyond it. I had dismounted, and was leading my horse up the steep hillside when a bear broke out of the bushes a little behind me and come for me furiously, showing her teeth and growling. I stood still, expecting to be torn to pieces the next moment, from the determined way in which she came it was a she bear but she stopped just short of seizing me and turned to dash In the same way at my horse, and at that I dropped the bridle and made up the trail as fast as I could go. My horse, i.mtead of turning back to run for life ic the clear open ground of the valley, w'.en she charged at him, mode a detour up the hill and carao back on the trail behind ma. 1 he liesir. looking mighty ugly w ith her frothing mouth and bridling hair, kept up her demonstrations, directing them princi pally at my horse. You know how a horse, when thoroughly frightened, will seek the company and protection of humanity, and so, do all I could to drive him away, my beast all the time kept right behind me with his nose at my shoulder, trembling with fi ar, but refusing to leave me, as the bear kept making dathes at us out of the buches, sometimes from one side and sometimes from the other. "I didn't know then what I have learned from the habits of the animals since, that the bear was running a bluff onus and did not mean so much to harm us as to scare us away. She un doubtedly bad cubs concealed close by in the bushes and resorted to a common trick of the female bear to drive away intruders. Probably if I had stood my ground she would have tackled me and in that ease it would have been all up with me. She followed us one hun dred yards or so and then, seeming attt tshed that ah had got us fairly on the run, fell back into the bushes and watched us out of sight" TWO BIQ POKER HANOS.

"Yea, sir," he resumed, blowing a great enrl of fragrant tobacco smoke high in the air and looking after it longingly, aa though there were a lot of money going up in it, "Yes, sir, it take something good to beat a full house of thin variety, but I once heard of tbe strangest game of poker that aver wa played, I know. It was in the old day and there were two wealthy old MiasiMdppi planters In the game.
