A gentleman vrho arrived in the
city yeatenlay furnishes the details
of a most tragic and distressing
suicide, vliich occurred Monday
night at the residence of Mr. Joseph
31. Blanton, in Cumberland county.
The particulars of the sad affair aro
in substance as folio ws: A young
man named' Hichard Kirk, from
Mobile. Alxl who had lately rrrad
nated from the University of North
Carolina, had been for some time
past paying his devoirs to Miss
Kate Fans, also of Mobile. The
parents of tile young lady objected
to his attentions, and in order - to
pnt a stop to them sent her on a
visit to Mr. Blanton, who is a rela
tive or connection of the Fans fam-!
ily. The young man, it seems, de
termined uot to ho thwarted, and
started from Mobile last week to
seek his love in Virginia. Arrived
at FannvilleV he drove to Mr. Ulan-
ton's house, jKeveri miles distant, on
Monday morning last. His recepf
tion by the object of his affections,
it is presumed. ' was anything but
favorable foir he left Mr. Blauton's
very precipitately, and, returning
to Farmvillei was observed to in
dnlge quke freely in strong -drink.
Dunne the early afternoon, it is
said, he went to a gunsmith named
Baker, procured a pistol, which he
got Baker to load for him. He
then hired a team from Smithson's
livery stable, taking with him a
colored man named (ieorgo Iiggs,
and drove liiick to Mr. .Dalton's
house. It was then late in the af
ternoon, and Jhe gentleman of the
house observing his excited condi
tion was at first little inclined to
allow the young lady to see him.
He was, however, finally announc-
ed, but Miss t ans WOUIU only COIl
sent to see him 1 in company with
Miss Willie I Blanton. The two
young ladies bccordingly went to
the parlor, aiict out or abundant
caution Mr. Blanton accompanied
them. They had scarcely entered
when Kirk whispered to Miss Faris,
and she requested Mr. Blanton to
retire. Mr. Blanton withdrew tri
the hall, where he "walked up and
down near at hand as if fearing some
trouble. In a few moments the re
port of a pistol was heard. Hushing
into the imrlor Mr. Blanton beheld
Miss Faris lyingon the floor. He
picked hemp ; and earned her to
the sofa under tbo impression that
she had been shot.
He soon found
she had only swooned, and, looking
around, beheld young Kirk stretch-
ed dead upon' the floor. He had
shot himself through the head, the
ball entering Itlio right ear, and,
going directly! . through the head,
had passed out of the left ear.
The news of this fearful trageuy
was not generally known in Farni-
ville, until yeitcrday, and, as might f
naturally be supposed, nas inrown
a gloom over tho entire community.

A Plan for Maklsg it Kaih.
A CapL Campbell has been advanc
ing a theory i according to wmcu
produced wnenever
desired, so that a
drought-stricken locality may
speedily find relief. He proposes
to take some-5 deep wen aireaoy
dug, and explode in it say a hun
dred kegs of powder. The powder
is to be arranged in such a manner
that cotton layers or interstices will
prevent the whole masa from ex
ploding on the same instant, so that
a continuous sheet of fire and con
fusion may ibe kept up for some
little time, shooting up into the sty
for a distance of two miles and pro
ducing such a concussion and con
densation of moisture that a storm
rpnrre would :be. soon formed and
rain precipitated: He bases his
singular theory on the observations
he made on the result of the ex-
plosion of the! Confederate ram at
the time oi me passage oi uiu m&
aijtsinni fort i by Farragut's fleet,'
and on the result of the Chicago
fire.
GREENSBORO, N. C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1881.
The Comat Year.
i The present abnormal condition
of the atmosphere, manifesting Itse'f
la tbe long cooUnatd heat of - Sep
Umber and October, demands more
than a passing notice. ' Tbe mild
teaperatare that prevails Is evi
deotly not dne to any normal- ezer
cise of tha son's power at this sea
oa of the year. The evidences of
rlgcr fa recitation and the second
growth of foUageib plaats and trees
woald prove tbis,'even if the diffr-
enoe were not preceptible to mao'o
own IntelMcBaca and his tense of
feeling. - What, therefore, canses
the Qnns&il teaneratnrr: a.nd what
dors it forebode! - . '
Can this onntinned aod persistent
heat be ocod tiled for on n at oral
grounds! For the past two years
the tanhrs-been in a state of vio-
l-nt critatioa.-fcbocgii'tliis aclta
A year' ago it developed into what
are called 4i a o-s pots." It follows
that this condition of the son was
connected with the coming of tbe
five comets -including EnckeV
foar of which have appeared sucea
airely aioce tbe 1st oi May last, aod
the fifth, EaekVd, is now approach
ing tbe aaa in its orbit of tbree and
a half years. ( The latest comet dis
covered waa seen about three weeks
ago In Lea Tbe result of the agi
tation in tbe son, the cause of which
farioaa tnrbalence was the approach
of the comets, was tbat a vast aod
nnosnal atream of heat has been
pouring from the sun, borne oo tbe
rays thereof, for possibly six or e1 pbt
months, aa we reckon time. Tbe
purpose of this intense addition to
the ann'a nsoal heat was tu famish
sustenance and nourishment to the
comets the comets being simply
the offspring of tbe son aodworld,
stars and planets in process of de-
.relopment from Infancy to maturi
ty, ibis tremendous heat, which
may be denominated the comet-hear,
fiercer than the ordinary heat of
summer and incandescent in its in
tensity at the perihelion of tbe great
comet of last Jane, leaving tbo sun
on tbe 1st or Jan nary ot tbis year
and speeding at the rate, in . mo ml
numbers, of something over 11,000.-
000 milea a month, in order to en
counter tbe approaching comets in
m id b pace, wboahl have reached our
enveloping atmosphere about1; th?
1st of. September, shortly . after
which date oar present unnatural
temperature may be eaid to have
first made Itself manifest. Pressing
ou our atmosphere, which resisted
it for a limt. it settled around it in
a compact mass, producing tbat pe
culiar mysterious bazy appearance
of tbe heavens which was visibje
a boa: the 6tb, 7th and 8:h of Sep
tember. Finally it penetrated the
atmosphere, and since then it has
permeated it, transforming it into
tbe condition of a heated f arnace.
Fortunately is did not succeed in
penetrating tbe atmosphere in the
height of summer, as otherwise the
censeqaenoes, only postponed,, per
haps, may then have proved fatal
to human and other life.
Let us consider these cou se
quences. The ensuing winter win
be, probably, no winter at all, the
temperature iemainicg as a rale
that of spring. Under tbe genial
atmospheric bear, intensified by the
usual warmth of the son, whatever
ia planted will rprout promptly,
only, however, to bo killed as prompt
ly by periodical blasts from tbe re
gions of tbe Poles, which, coming
with frost on their wings, will de
stroy In a single eight tbe growing
crops. Again planted, ana the same
blight will come. Tbi process, re
peated at almost regalar intervals
through tbe winter months, will
have largely exhausted, by. the re-
tnre of epriog, (be available stock
of seed and grain. With the. ad
vent of spring and no crops in pros
pect, tbe still present comet-heat.
saperadaed to tbe beat of tlie'sva-
a.. a
sod, win complete tne wore oeguc
daring tbe winter by the Arctic
frosts. Aa tbe season advances into
summer, drongat win iuiiow; tne
direct ray a of tbe sun will parch and
itber all vegetation. Then tbe
dnmb animals, tbe grass and grain
and seed-eating company will begin
to disappear en masse. Tbe whole
faca of tbe earth being transformed
itito a mass ot inflammable material,
vast and far reaching conflagrations
may sweep over those portions ol
tbe globe where tbe food for -such
combustion is to be fjond, extermi
nating all vegetation and drying op
the sources of water. ;
Tho Situation in Afghanistan.
Tbe state of aflairs in Afghan-is-ai
must be . eminently satis
tat tory to English statesmen. Tbe
Ameer set op by their troops on
quitting the country has at length
overcome all opposition to bisruie,
aod bas captured Herat itself, tbe
supposed stronghold of Ayoob
Khan, his competitor for royal hon
ors. English inflaence, therefore,
may fairly be considered now in tbe
ascendant in tbe country through
which' Rassia mast travel to India,
and so far as tbis is the case tbe
Earl of Beaconsfild's policy may
be claimed to be successfal. It
certainly promises better iorEbgliab
interests than tba continuance in
power of the beneficiaries of the
late Ozar wonld have done. Wheth
er, however, the uncertain tenure
possessed at present by England
upon tbe affections of tbe Ameer,
and tbe moral effect of the Afghan
camnalgn upon Bassia and tbe
Afvhana themselves, are worth tbe
8C00.OO0.0O0 which the campaign
coat ia open to question. Not tbe
least fiuroriaing fact brought into
vioar bv the war is the ease witb
which the India Empire pays tbe
17J5 OOO OOO allotad to it aaitsshare
of tha expenses.

Hints for the Season.
Saw conies the pleasant autumn
weather the grand Indian summer
days; that come over us like a dream.
Tins is the season to prepare lor
winter. The barn yard and stables
should be thoroughly cleaned and
the manxire and the rubbish remove
ed tti the coniiost heap, or manure
pile, where stock cannot. ,tramp it
down and scatter it again under
foot. It will be much moe conve
nient to cleanfup now, than to wait
till the accumtuations ot the winter
are added to the stock on hand, and
the! linid and lush of syijng have
to Ih encountered. ; Moreover the
drenching raips of winter and spring
will tender t life barnyard rubbish Of
but! little valiie as manure, but if it
IS careiuny ppcu ami uuvncu uu,
its valuable properties will be re-
taiueu. . n j - h r
While it is-dry and pleasant,
walkk should be coustructed about
the bhrn yards, stables ind else
wherfe around tho premises that we
mavi havel to travel when; the sea-
r 'a?
son oi muu arnves. .
The fuel for winter, whether it be
wood!orcoali should be carefully
housed now, boui as a maiier oi
economy and! comfort. All the tools
ami implements of the farm that
may have: been left out and forgot
ten ill the! hujrry of harvest or seed
ing work,1 should how be hunt ed up
and ! Carefully stored away where
the spare hours of the winter may
be stML'rit in putting them I in repair
for tlie next summer's campaign.
