Washington Cor. Baltimore 8ua. ,1 J., of Senator Vance has returned Washington from Newark, N. where he addressed a meeting manufacturers and operatives last Friday evening on the farm question. He states that a very large crowd gathered to hear him, and judging from their enthusiastic applause they were in sympathy with him on the subject. He afterwards discussed the political situation with many of the leading Jersey manufacturers, and while they may all have been Demo crats,they assured him that Cleveland and Thurman.with tariff reform as the issuej would carry the State in spite of xiepublicac claims to the contrary, The Jersey men are fully aroused on the subject and they will probaby consider carefully the : proposition which now confronts them, whether it will be best- for their ! interests to contribute large sums of money to rarry on the protection campa'gn or to submit to a moderate reduction in their profits. This is the problem which is presented to the manufac turers in the three Eastern States where the hardest fighting is expect ed, New York, New Jersey and Con necticut BO rXAB FOB K0BTB CABOLIBA In reply to the claim made by cer tain enthusiastic Republicans hat there is a probability of Harrison and Morton carrying the Uld North Mate oh the internal revenue issue, Senator -Vance says that he has no fears on that score. He predio's that at the plroper time an .amendment will be made to the Mills bill providing for the abolition of the tobacco tax and a substantial reduction in the tax on fruit brandy. '. is necessary to main tain a small tax on the latter article to allow the internal revenue officers to have supervision over it to prevent fraud. If the tax was wholly remov ed a few persons might be tempted to distill whisky and call it fruit brandy. The honest farmers of North Carolina hare their little stills, hun dreds of them with a capacity of less than ten gallons, which they use to work up their superfluous fruit into brandy rather than have it rot on their hands, just as people in other Sections put up preserves. Much of this fruit brandy is manufactured for the individual consumption of the farmers making it. If such an amend ment is not inserted in the bill before it leaves the House, it will certainly be introduced and probably adopted when the measure reaches the Senate. i Senator Ransom ooncurS . in the opinion expressed by his colleague that there is but little danger of North Carolina going Republican at the next election. He says that State is safely Democratic, but it will not do for the party to become over-confident and quietly fold their hands and await the result.

No more signatures were obtained by the Amalgamated people to their scale up to noon and there were no indica tions of either side giving ' in. The manufacturers say that before they de cided to resist the workman's scale they calculated that . certain firms wc sign the scale and they look for at least two more mills to resume before the end of the week. The signing of the scale by these few firms, they claim, however, will have no feffect m the western association who are determined to resist the scale. Morehead & McClean paid off their men today and closed down in definitely. In sneakm? of the lock out today Max Morehead said: "There are some firms that can t afford to remain idle. We can, and unless the uen give in we shall not start before November. In the pres ent condition of the market it is doubtful whether we shall resume be fore September .under any circum stances. The workmen appear to be well satisfied with the resu t and con fidently assert that the lock-out will not last very long. The thirteen firms that have signed the scale operate sixteen mills and employ about 12,000 men. . A Youhgstown, Ohio, dispatch says there is no. change in the situation there. All out-going trains are crowded 'with iron-workers and their families going to visit friends. The manufacturers show no disposition to sign the scale.

There is a strange similarity between this day nd tnat of just' twenty -five years ago. Then the armies of Meade and Lee confronted each other in sullen silence, j The first day had ended in the defeat of Reynolds' men and the conflict of the second had been inde cisive . iTrue, Longstreet's assault on Little Round Top was unsuccessful and the Federals still held their original position but they were weak and broken, and the morning of the third day saw them in no way im proved. 1 All through that sultry day which was to decide forever the great questions submitted to the arbitra ment of war silence reigned over the two armies. At four o clock, however the signal gun of Lee opened the greatest artilleay duel the world has ever seen, and until the columns Of Pickett's Virginians were hurled back from tne bloody ngle, the roar of Cannon and rattle of musketry was never equalled in the history of the world, botitoday the morning was quiet. Federals and Confederates were once more on the field, and again was one on Seminary ridge and the other on Cemetery HilL Noth ing unusual occurred to break the great monotony until 4 o'clock, when the Union men and Confederates met once more at almost the same hour at which they had joined in deadly com bat 25 years ago. Gen. J. d. Gordon, of Georgia, whose eloquent speech set the crowd fairly crazy yesterday afternoon, and made him the most popular man in town afterward, was compelled by his official position as chief eiecu tive to leave for Atlanta this after noon;. To an Associated 1 ress rep reeentative in answer to the question, "What was his opinion of the re union t" he said : "This meeting was a great success, and if these re-unions between sol diers could occur yearly it would serve to cement the friendly feeling iug win iiuu fcimj tuvio biuowr , and to bind the North and South! so firmly that there would be no North and no South, but one country linked togetherK by chains of indissoluble friendship." "'.', rrompuy at a o ciock a procession composed of the same military com mands as yesterday entered the National Cemetery, CoL's Gibson and 1 tan km, the officers present, lead ing. As Conterno's band filed past the rostrum it struck up popular airs from rurrmnie, the "Jail birds of a feather ringing out through the shady lawn while a smile rippled over the faces of the crowd at the inappro priateneSs of the selection. After the Ninth New York militia had tramped! past, and the cavalry had thrown dust over the prominent peo ple on the rostrum and the stately monument hid them from sight as they marched back to their camp on the first day s held, Gen. Robinson, of New York, arose and, leaning heav ily on his crutch, requested Kev. Mr. Twitchell, of Hartford, Conn., to open the second day's re-uni- n exercises with prayer. The prayer vis listened to with uncovered heads and when, in concluding he began the Lord's prayer, the crowd joined in and as it rolled across the vast lawn the sound was .like tin roar of distant cannon or the beating of the surf on a rocky coast. The poet of the occasion, George Parsons Lathrop, was unable to be present but part of bis poem was read by Gen. Horatio C. K-ng, Secretary of the Army of the Potomac, and was received by the andience with ap plause. When the orator. Georire William Curtis, was presented, three cheers were called for byGen. Sharpe and he was greeted with hearty ap plause at the conclusion of bis ora tion. The number was not near so large as yesterday nor was the enthusiasm sa great. Peace Inatltatte.

It is with gratification we note the continued and increasing growth : and prosperity of this admi rable school. Through its able and suocessiul management it has won a reputation which is not surpassed by any seminary for young ladies in the State, and the many hundreds of educated cultured women who have gone out from it and whose lives are a testimony of its excellence are alone sufficient'evidence of its char acter.

Hamilton, in Qreensboro Patriot. : . , No section of the eountrv nnW the broad canopy of Heaven is more eminently adapted to the cheap, easy and successful cultivation of the grape uu nuuuie, eastern ana southern North Carolina, the land reouirino- little or no drainage. The stranger i traveling through our stale on the country roads cannot fail to notice the luxuriant growth of our wild native grape, climbing the tallest . .- . . - trees, loaded with fruit, early ahd late w muacaaine, or Duiiice, being heavily loaded with fruit from the ground to the top of the giant oat Nature tells us in i lain and unmis takable language the erare ia one of the crops for us to cultivate. The ladies can assist greatly in the culti vation of the grape by shortening the shoots above ihe fruit with a pair of scissors, and remove the laterals, by clipping the bunches from the Tine , to be packed for market or conveyed to the wine press. This is a sure ' cash crop, large profits and quick re turns with one-tenth of the labor re quired for cotton. The di rections for planting " fruit trees will answer for the grape by ad ding half a gallon of bone dust mixed well with the soil. Corn field reas' should be planted between the rows; this crop shales and enriches the land, and pays all expenses of the grape until the vines are in full bear ing, ihe distance to plant the vines varies according to the notion of the grower, say six feet by eight,, two branches to the vine. With Raoes at ten cents per pound you can draw your own conclusions. I point with pride to the far-famed Tokay Vine yard, near Fayetteville. Here are more than one hundred acres under the highest state of cultivation. This vineyard is justly celebrated for its fine fruit and delicious wines, and is the largest in the South. It is an honor to the State, and reflects credit on all concerned. Ere two decades shall have passed, the vintage of North Carolina will vie in value and importance with, her cotton crop of the present day, and will be watched with interest by the outside word. The scuppernong deserves more than passing notice. Found by the early settlers on Roanoke Island, it has been transplanted to the inland with success, many of the vines covering half an acre of ground. In color it closely resembles the golden ehasse- los, but it is three times as large. It comes in clusters, not bunches. It is not unusual for a wagon load to be taken from one arbor; the fruit sells for $1 to $1.50 per bushel. : ;1 .j ;.'!
