Accord ing to the record of marris licenses, as far bjack as the record runs, the average age Of the women marryicg is 23 years and fhat of the men 27 years. Again, in this same line, although the popula tion of this country is now reckoned at 30,0p0 and upward, there is an average of only 235 marriages a year. This has beerf the average number for ten years; andlhe books show that there has been no increase in the yearly number of marriages during that period, although within that time the population of the ouiity has nearly doubled.

Recently an oreanisation has sprunr up in our midst whioh seems to disturb the minds of some of our most astute politicians in their vain attempt to win its approbation and secure its support. We long sinco commended the order of the Knights of Labor to the working men of our community. We knew that every other class of men ia the State were orgumzed, and prospered by eon- cert of action Lawyers, with their bar association; doctors, with their medical board, sanctioned by the laws of the State; druggists, with their State phar maceutical association; editors, with their press association, farmers, with their grange; all these classes were united and were acting in concert for a common good. We saw no good reason why the laboring men might not unite for the oommbn welfare of all; on the other hand, we saw many reasons why they ought to act together1: we saw many advantages to be gained by or gan nation. ; The order is, we understand, firmly established in this State. We under stand all political ideas are dissociated from those of the order, still there is a politician in this district, who for long years has been a member bf a party hich has robbed the workingmen of the State of thousand of dollars, who now, under the false guise of being then? friend, seeks to win their favor This mau, against whom we have noth ing to say personally, hast become a member of the order and openly appeals to the members of the order to support him for Congress. We suppose Mr. Nichols continues to call himself a republican. We never heard before he was' such; a staunch friend of the workingmen; how is it he so suddenly becomes their friend ? Has he suddenly rcalued.hia own inaction; has hj suddenly realised the great shame of his party when tinder its rule the poll tax in North Carolina was $5 ? Per haps it is remorse of conscience that he has belonged to a party which pillages the treasury of these voters, these work- ingmen at Raleigh, and thereby forced the credit of our State to a point shune- essly below par. We suppose he is ail right, though, now; no doubt he has been fully regenerated. When he was postmaster at Raleigh, with hi negro clerk, he was a republican; now he is the friend of the workingmen. We take it that the laboring men of this district wul not suffer themtelvea to be made the dupes of this shrewd poli tician. We do not believe the Knights of Labor in North Caro ina were organ ised to put the republican; party back in power. This seems to be a bold at tempt of a radical leader to use the or der to advance hi political ends. We do not see what fault the laboring men can find with ile; democratic party and it nominees. It protected their homes as far as it could when the radi cal party had stranger" asd enemies to rule. It fought these aliens till not a single one remains in power. The peo ple are never mngrateful; they will not forget. f Health Jfetee.

VERY I MPORTANT. THE UNITED STATES TAKES A HAND AT LA8T. A 8UIT WHICJ WILL TK8T THI MATTER OF BOYCOTT. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 25. In the . tt . . Vja.a, . m ' aitea states district court iour mem bers of the cigar-makers' union of Bing hampton wore arraigned on a charge of conspiracy against citizens of the United States in the exercise and enjoyment of a right and privilege secured to them by the constitution. They pleaded not guilty and were held inxl,OU0 bail each to appear at the November term. The specific charge is that they attempted to boycott non-union cigar manufacturers, and the ease is brought under section 5,508 of the Revised Statutes. ; The case is of vast importance, as if the construc tion of this statute, claimed to be a free one, is sustained by the court, it will wipe out all boycotting of non-unin made cigars throughout the United States. Grand Bepreaeatatla-e Bnabee la Boatn. The Boston Herald of last Wednesday contains a very full and interesting ac count of the ceremonies attending the jneeting there of the sovereign grand lodge I. O. O. F. The parade was mag nificent. The reunion of past grand rep resentatives and past grand officers of the sovereign grand lodge I O. O.

He was followed by Mr. Chas. M. Busbee, grand representative of North Carolina. His speech is reported in full. It was gracful and Vigorous, and was heartily applauded. In the course of his remarks he said : "The vmnathv and substantial aid extended to the Bouth by Boston has bound us more closely together than ever before, rApplause.f Especially have Maaa- ohusetts and North Carolina come into more close communion. We exhibited the mineral and agricultural resources of our State at your exhibition in 1883, and learned with peculiar pleasure of the cordial and honest weloome that you gave our eniei executive wnue he was a m . your guest. It is meet that these two ancient commonwealth should go shoulder to shoulder in the march of hu man progress. I voice the sentiment of the representative not only from my own State, but from the far South, when I say that they came to Boston, many of them for the first time, with hearts filled not only with loyalty to this great fraternal order, but devotion to the constitution of our fathers and the flag of our common country Applause Hi eulogy of the order of Odd Fel low was beautifuL He said: It power for good is constantly increasing It is not the abstraction of an idea, but a mighty, living, concrete, vitalising force.

Greene & Co.'s report on cotton futures says It has been a strong market throughout she day. A liberal issue of October notices oaused a break of 2a3 points on near options, but that was about the worst shown and from which a partial recovery im axterward lectured, while the late month stood no and were ta-n freely in exchange, a great deal of busi ness being of a "swapping eharaol There was also some firm buying, in- eluding a few outside order. Waterworks. Raleigh has about 15,000 inhabitants now, an i at the expiration or twenty years will probably have 50,000 Any publio work undertaken by the oity now should be with reference to the needs and demands of the eity a it will be then. Any other view would be penny wise and pound foolish, it is an axiom in political as well as in domestic economy that the lowest priced goods are not the cheapest in the long run. In building water-works our board of aldermen should, of course, see to it that the city's funds are not squandered and. that a fair and just contract is made at as low figures for our supply of pure and wholesome water as can be secured, considering the other essentials to a pru dent contract. Among these other es sentials, of even more importance than prioe, are to be reckoned honesty, in tegrity and finanoial ability of contrac tor, permanence and durability of works, purity of source of supply and capacity f works, with a view to increasing the demand as the oity grows. Henoe it seems to us that the greatest care should be taken to let no contract to any one of doubtful means or integ rity; that the contract should be award ed to some, bidder who can and will sat isfy the board that he can furnish sub stantial worki, pure water in abundance and an undoubtedly ample plant to supply our future city, even if the pri3et or cost be somewhat greater than that offered by other bidders. This is a matter in which the board acts for pos terity and it cannot afford to make a mistake. The health and cleanliness of our city is above dollars and cents. Let no bidder be selected merely and entirely because his bid is lowest. Let the lowest bidder among those of equal reliability be taken, if any are sufficiently reliable. We cannot afford to deal with cheap Johns or adventurers in an enter prise of this kind. W e do not know who all the bidders are. some or none of them may be un reliable. It would seem to be an easy matter to determine this. Dorham did so. After many bids and applications, her authorities satisfied themselves of the responsibility and reliability of her contractor, Mr. A. H. Howland, of Roe ton, and awarded him her contract. We are informed that he has a bid before our oity authorities. He seems to be man of established . reputation in this line, and to have had practical experi ence in different parts of the United States There may be others of equal reputation and ability. Is it not more to our advantage to contract with some suoh undeif proper guarantees and be able to feel that we shall spend our money for what will be ample for our oity s present and future needs, than to get works of limited capaoitj and infe rior construction because the latter oost a few dollars less ! We are led to make these remarks because in so many bids as have been made it is Ukely that some are made by irresponsible parties. In fact we bear that some of the bidder have withdrawn .upon being required to exe cute bonds for the performance of their offers, in the event of acceptance. It is best to put a stop to such trifling and award the contract to some bidder, and let us ; have the works that a city bf our sise and prospects should have, and we will be the gainers in the end, although the present cost may be some what greater. vmzur. ; j ;Oal Werda. : PROP. MBNDXXHALL DSSOUNOXS WIOOIBS. Washihgtoh, Sept. 25. Prof. Men- denhall, of the weather bureau, says there may probably not be another se vere earthquake in Charleston for cen turies. That there continues a rumb ling in thb earth, he says, is a favorable sign, it shows that the earth is ac quiring stability gradually and there is not apt to,!be another violent shook. It seem nkely from the investigations that the centre of disturbance was not 3eep-se ted and that the shook was not Volcanic. There was ho heat attending it. The professor thinks it oriminsl for Wiggins to frighten nervous people by his predictions, and that he ought to be suppressed. He says, further, that if Northern men of wealth would purchase .property in Charleston, and enter upon the construction of modern, substantial buildings they would, in his opinion, not only make a paying investment but at the same time do a work of most effective benevolence. The Atlantic Coast-Line will run an excursion train from here to Charleston, October 2d, returning October 4th, the proceeds be given the Charleston bene fit fund.
