Good tares Jro au People Who Are Rendered Unhappy by Their Imagination. Baltimore Sun, Some people render themseWes unhappy -unnecessarily by morbid sensitiveness. They seem to be on the alert at all times to detect slights or insults and reBent many injuries that, even wbenreal, have been inflicted upon them unwit- ingly. Supersensitive people are generally very timid -and usually have a very, good opiuionof them selves. If thev were not timid hey would by self-assertion dissi pate all doubt as to the attitude of other people toward them; if they were not inordinately conceited they would not imagine that every thing said or done related to themselves. This suner-senaitive disposition does not serve any use ful purpose and only makes its vic tim unhappy, and, as it is a culti vated disposition, one may guard against its development. Nearly all people talk and act .with ulte rior purpose, and, this being the case, it is foolish to trv to find mysterious meanings in what they sayordo. One man is busy with bis own projects; he passes his super-sensitive friend with a bare acknowledgment of the latter's presence, not because he is en grossed in other matters. But the victim of a sensitive disposition immediately sets his fancy at work inventing explanations of this be havior, all of the-m wide of tbe mark and all having some per 8onal bearing. Another friend comes along who is in a particu4ar good humor and is effusive simply because be wants to talk to some body. Fancy again runs riot in trying to explain this quite natural conduct, and again the sensitive man is wide afield, be cause he always sets himself up as the central figure in the action of his fellow-men. Innocent remarks are twisted by him from their uatural and obvious meaniner. much as Benedict fonnd signs of love in Beatrice's remark, "Against my will I am sent to bid you come in to dinner," the only difference being that the morbid sensitive man always gets a derogatory meaning out of the mysteries cre ated by his imagination. The foundation of all this misinter pretation and unhappiness is an egotism that dares not assert itself . Only weak people suffer from it those who hold very good opinions of themselves, but are afraid to as sert themselves. If they have a grievance, real or imaginary, they do not go with it to the man re sponsible therefor, but content themselves with complainings to friends, who can do nothing for them. And thus the grievance remains to ranKie tnem wnico a bolder persoa?rwould have swept away by aii explanation. Such 6uper-sen8iMyeoe8S should be avoided nrft. 'merely because it is a sourceof unhappiness to one'e selfi tyi because it is unjust to othert The egotism upon which it ispooded is of a petty characters-secret, not self-assertive. It, inntself, is a vice to be corrected. Tften the habit of brooding over o juries, real or supposed, is a bad one. Jbransness would sweep away imaginary grievances and would not aggravate real ones. If one thinks be has been injured by another's speech or action, the rank thing to do is to go to him and ask an explanation. If nothing was meant, as will be the case nine iraes out of ten, "the imaginary grievance disappears at once; if the grievance is real the fact is es tablished beyond any doubt, and that is better than to have it a mat ter of uncertainty. The frank, manly fellow is never in danger of becoming super-sensitive; it is therefore well to cultivate an open disposition, and as a rule, to take ordinary meanings out of what people say, not to seek for. myste ries in their remarks.- : Bucklen'g Arnica Salve.

Price 25 cents per SAM JONES' BEADY WIT Some of His Bright Sayines in His Current Lectures. Here are some of Saui Jones' witty sayings, as reported by the Citizen from bis lecture in Ashe ville this week : This is a great old world and I'm not going to leave it on pur pose. Here's one fellow who is not going to kill his fool self. I've no respect for growlers, therefore I don't respect many peo ple. This nation remjods me of a family of spoiled children. . That philosopher has not yet lived who can tell which is the best estate, to be hungry and'bave nothing to eat, or to have tbe colic from eating too much. I want to give" you the worth of your money if you've got any place to put it. Some of you dollar fel lows, I expect paid too much. Bat if you haven't got room for it you can just sit still and lei it run over. There is nothing in this world to which I tip my hat with pro founder respect than a genuine man. The only trouble about it is, I don't have to tin it often. A man is bigger than a king big ger than a president. If there is a man in politics I don't know it. Take North Carolina for example. A Boston man once asked me : "Does the nigger differ from the white man in instinct?"- I told hiai no, the difference was mostlv in the out-stink. Some old deacon who swindles you will say "I'm obliged to live." That's a lie he can die any day he wants to. Among the girls we need more honey bees and fewer butterflies. I dou't object to bangs; I think bangs are becoming to women and mules. When women get to cutting off the tops of their dresses for the ball-rooms and the bottoms for tbe bifees, I begin to get frightened. Some say Sam Jones is vulgar. When they say I'm vulgar it's like the skunk telling the 'possum his breath smells. It is a reversal of God's order of things when woman becomes the ,'eader in immodesty. Hard Earned Wages.

Some months ago it vaa pub lished that an officer on guard in tbe penitentiary had been bribed by a convict who then made hia escape. Tbe officer or guard fled the State with bis $500 bribe, and no attempt has ever been made to bring bim to justice. When tbe Dr. Kirov Smith scandal broko out, he was pot off in post baste to New York or some where else. The penitentiary au thorities have made no effort to bring bim to justice. When tbe Radical doctor at the Halifax farms was found guilty of tbe same conduct for wbicl Kirbv Smith had to leave tbe State, be was given ten minutes to resign. There was no thought of putting stripes upon bim, though be and the two other officials above men tioned, richly deserved to wear them. The two first of these scandals occurred when Superintendent Smith was in charge of tbe peni tentiary. The last has occurred since tbe directors effected a "re form" and took charge of the in. stitution themselves. If there has been any change in the spirit of the management, the people have not seen it, and the general im pression is that tbe announcement of the change of tbe management was but a bluff to escape the past bad management. If there baa1 been any change, there has been no improvement. The fact that only two weeks ago a guard got on a spree with two convicts and let them escape shows that the "ie- form" has gone backward. If the 1 drunken and negligent guard, a pro I tege of Governor Russell's brother, j has been dismissed for bis con- duct, tbe public is not aware of it. I As longas officials are thus per- mitted to take bribes, be guilty of scandalous action, and debauch themselves with convicts, and no I serious attempt made to bring , them to justice, just bo long will j the penitentiary employes be j about on a par with the convict. The truth is that when Republi cans are in control, peculation, in competency and scandals are com mon things because the Republi can party in its leadership is com posed largely of unfit and bad men, and where they get in their motto is: "We have got the coon and we are going to skin him.'' Nothing better need be expect, ed. Figs cannot be gathered from thistles. A Fusion Object Lesson. Raleigh News-Observer. A shudder almost comes over the good people of North Carolina when tbey recall how narrowly they escaped last winter tbe revo- ution that was attempted by the nigger-traders' legislature in the plan to recharter the towns of the State. All remember that Char lotte was startled by tbe dastard program as were other cities also, Wilmington included, and in some cases the reckless gang were balked in their desperation. Bat some of the towns had to pass under the rod. Greenville was one of them. Be hold the result. This town, writes oneof itsdistinguished citizens, has actually been taken control of by tbe negroes. The act, ai will be recalled, divided the town up into four wards. The lines are so run that tbe negroes have a large ma jority in two wards and tbe whites in two wards. To the negro wards tbe act gives two aldermen each and to the white wards one each. At the last election tbe ne groes elected four negroes, and the whites, two white men, so that the town has a board composed of four negroes and two wbite men. Tbe mayor and chief of police are white meo, elected by this negro board. Tbe assistant policeman is a coal black negro. Tbe clerk of the board is also a negro. The taxable property of the town Is nearly three-quarters of a million, and the foflr negro alder men, the mayor and chief of po lice give in less than $$00 worth 00 or property forUxatiuu.
