As the melon season is close at

inexperienced, offer some sugges
tions relative to selecting and using
this most excellent fruit, and thus
enable them to discard green ones,
as well as those that have been
pulled before ripe, both of which
are alike un fit for use. High prices
are a great inducement for getting
them to market early, consequent
ly they are generally pulled several
dsys too soon. It is true they af
terwards ripen, but they are never
so good. Thn palp becomes toagn,

HOW TO SELECT A GOOD MELON.
, The rinds of melons, when left
on the vines to mature, generally
become bard and the pulp brittle.
If the melon be gently borne on
and yoa bear the inside crack or
give way it may be regarded as a
sure sign that ehe melon matured
on the vine, and consequently is a
good one.
j Another good plan for selecting
a melon is to examine the side that
lay on tbe ground. If the melon
remained on the vine until properly
matured this portion will be found
to have changed from a white to a
pale yellow, and upon close exami
nation, numerous small pimples,
somewhat like the measles, as it
were, will be noticed on said sur
face, particularly near the outer
edge. These pimples may be re
garded as a sure indication that
the melon remained on tbe vino no-
til mature, as they never appear on
those which have been prematurely
pulled. Sometimes the desirable
pale yellow is produced premature
ly by turning this portion of tbe
melon to the sun for a day or two.
In this case the yellow is apt to be
too deep. This fact, in connection
with the absence of pimples, will
readily tell the experienced eye
how said color was produced.

this phsxe of tbe matter the
Newbem Journal, discussing the
difference botween "watered"' and
'split" stock in voting the stock
of the road, says:
Any one familiar with the scale
of voting laid down by the charter
can readily see how a man owning
one hundred shares which would
give him 1C votes can split up by
transferring the stock to his friends
and procuring their proxies so as
to cast one hundred votes. It is
"split" stock then and not "water
ed," and is the difficulty which be
sets the Governor when the ques
tion of allowing the will of the pri
vate stockholders to govern pre
sents itself. We learn that tbe
Governor gave notice at the annual
meeting in 1832 that such practice
had to stop or be would not allow
the State's proxy to sit in a meetinir
controlled by votes transferred for laid to their charge, I
the purpose. The Governor is un- case where they were
terfere with meals., For a few days
at the first of the season they
should be partaken of sparingly,
gradually increasing the quantity.
If partaken of too freely at the
start they are apt to derange the
bowels; but if you will stick to
them, eating for a while sparingly,
yoa will soon become acclimated,
as it were, and will thenceforth be
all right for the remainder of tho
season, provided they are eaten
regularly. But if eaten irregular
ly, say freely for several days and
thsn none tor several days, the
bowels will be apt to undergo cor
responding changes from an aperi
ent to a costive state, and disease
questionably right in trying to cor
rect this evil. The county of Le
noir owns 200 shares in this road
that have been paid for, dollar tor
dollar, yet she has only 56 votes
while less than a hundred shares
owned by an individual have been
known to cast more than that. The
counties of Craven and Pamlico are
in the same condition. It is not
just to these counties to allow tbe
meetings to be governed in such a
manner, bat bow Is the Governor
to help himself I When a man's
name appears upon the list as a
stockholder what right has the
Governor, or anybody else, to aay

stock f
What the Journal says forcibly
demonstrates tbe necessity of a sale
of the road, and to that it must in
evitably come.
Alluding to this topic the Farmer
and Mechanic says the Gatling com
bination handled Gov. Jarvis pret
ty roughly iu the stockholders'

may be the result. Of course, it
would all be laid to the melons,
when it was merely attributable to
the irregular manner in which they
had been eaten. To prove that
melons, when regularly eaten, will
not produce sickness, especially
chills and fever, which are so often

actually in
strumental in effecting a cure :
A NEW REMEDY FOE CHILLS AND
FEVER.
Some years ago I was in a min
ing town in California during tbe
melon season. As melons and
fruits generally had to be hauled in
wagons a distance of some twenty
miles, I could not procure them
with tbe usual regularity. Upon
one occasion mv supply of melons
gave out, and t remarked to an ac
quaintance that as a result I ex
pected 1 would have a chill. . Sure
enough, one day while engaged in
a mine I was taken with a very se
vere chill. I spread out in the sun
with all the extra coats that
could be piled on, but of course
could not keep warm. Just about
this time a supply of melons arriv
ed and I at once commenced eating
them heartily. I bad a craving ap
petite for oysters and vinegar, but
little or no appetite for anything
else except melons. I procured
from an adjacent store some Balti
more canned oysters and consumed
about three cans daily, served with
strong vinegar, and between meals
ate heartily of melons-. Strange
as it may seem, these two remedies
combined, without any medicine
whstever, cured tbe chills as thor
oughly as could have been done by
means of quinine or any other
remedy. I had only one chill. The
philosophy of the matter appears
to be this. The melons reopened
the bowels, which had probably
become costive, and the oysters,
"being a strong diet, strengthened
nature, thus enabling her to throw
off the disease and restore the sys
tem to its normal condition. The
fact that the chills were completely
eradicated while using melons mast
lanta, one numbered 2742 and the
other 2912. and 2712 was given to
a friend who went with Mr. Far
rington, and Mr. Farrington gave
the ticket 2912 to conductor Nesbit
who was in charge of the train. It
was further shown that a ticket
numbered 2912 was afterwards
found in its proper place In the
package in the depot in Charlotte,
never, having been stamped or
punched. It was farther proven
that tbe agent Adams never charg
ed himself with tbe sale of ticket
No. 2912. Capt. Wm. Clarkson, a
conductor on tho A., T. & O. Bail
road, was then produced as a wit
ness by the prosecution, to prove
that some months ago Mr. Adamjs
made a proposition to him to do
the same thing on the A., T. & O.
road, adding that it was being done
by other conductors ana there was
big money in it, Capt. Clarkson
indignantly scouted the proposition
and reported what Adams had said
to him to the authorities, the next
day.
Mr. Nesbit was ajo barged with
collecting fares in cash on tbe road
and not returning or accounting
for it to the company, and there
was evidence that on the 10th of
June, 1SS3, two fares were paid
him and he accounted for only one
in his return. There was much
