We have had two young graduates of Union Theological Seminary with us this week, the Rev. F. 1 Hairell, of Fayette ville Presbytery. and the Rev. J. N. II. Summei-ell, of Con cord Presbytery. Mr. Harrell filled the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning and nihr, and was list ened to with marked attention. Mr.Sum merell, by previous invitation, preached at tho Methodist church, Sunday inijrhr. We have rarely known two more prom is ing young men than these. It will be gratifying to every North Carolinan if they shall find work within the bounds of their native State, to which, doubtless, they feel as ardently attached as any of her sons. But it is noteworthy that both have already had oilers iu other States, and are, for the moment, halting as to' whether they should wait for an open field at home or enter one abroad. The Salisbury Graded School. Mk. Editor : As there seems to be a slight misapprehension still lingering iu the minds of some of our citizeus with re gard to the amount of special taxes au thorized to be levied according to the provisions-f the Graded School Law, I beg leave to make the following explana tion:; The whole amount of taxes allowed by the Charter of the-To.wu- of Saiisbury to be levied for .jill purposes cannot exceed fifty cents ou the one hundred dollars of prtierty, and one dollar and fifty cents on the poll. Before the passage ot the Act establishing Graded Schools, the Munici pal Authorities had tho power to go up to the full limit of this rate of taxation, and usually did se. Last year, however, I believe the rate was forty -one and two third cents on property, and one dollar and twenty-five cents on the poll. The Graded School Bill, as originally drafted mid, went to- ine, authorized a spe cial tax of tweuty-tive cents on property and seventyfive cents ou the poll for the first year, and for each subsequent year a 'special tax of twenty cents on property, and sixty cents oa the poll to be levied on all subjects of taxation, in addition to the taxes allowedTby the Charter. If the hill hiuJLaeil in this shape, the mutiici pal rat of taxation for tiie first ear might have reached seventy-five cents ou property and two dollars and twenty-five rents ou t he poll, and tor each subsequent year could, and doubt lesa would, have reached seventy cents on property and two dollars and ten cents on the jhU. j As strong a friend, however, as l am to the cause of education, both for thd child ren of the white race and for the children of the colored nice, I was not prepared t endorse. such si high taxation as this. I was Batisfied that the Graded Schools could be efficiently orgauized and iiberal- ny supported by the Town, without any increase ot the rate ot taxation authorized by the Charter ; and I think so still. In order therefore to obviate all difficulties, and to do impartial justice to the tax payers'as well as the friends of education in our town, I lacked on an amendment to the bill, providing, in" subtancc, that iu lio event should the taxes to be levied by the tawn for all purposes iu atiy oue year exceed fifty eenta-on property, and one dollar and fifty cejits on the poll. Ex cept for this proviso, A" believe the Law would have tailed of ratification by the people. It has now been adopted how ever, by a handsome majority, and. we may soon expect to see two good Graded Schools in operation one for either race and this too without any appreciable in crease of the rate of taxation, or any de triment to a proper, or efficieut adminis tration of the government of the town, i John S.

Jackson Hill, N. C. April, 19th, 1880 Editor Watchman The wheels of time have rolled the good people of this hamlet into the enjoyment of the morning of the day of the date of this letter. Since my last letter,"they have had the usual routine of the troubles and perplexities incident to human life, vet not one has become so dis gusted with the things of this world as to withdraw to distant shades to seek a tran ouil, though suicidal death at the lower end of a rope. -To say that such thing as hy pochondria in men, or hysteria (fiddle sticks) in women, is uuknown in this vicini ty would be saying more: than a stnek re gard for truth would warrant; but justice would certainly say that such diseases are no more common here than at other places. Our whole country being under the influence of a great dermatopathic epidemic, the peo ple in this part are having their share, in the shape of False .Measles. 1 his disease, which is the Rosecola of some dermatologists, is, as I understand, now prevalent in a great portion of North Carolina. In this neigh borhood, it is often mixed with other der mal affections, whose elementary character istics are widely different from its own, and is unusually severe, manv cases beins little. if at all, inferior, in point of gravity; to true Measles. On the evening of the ilth inst a great aorthwesteru wind (of Alaskan origin, I sup pose) rose, and swept mercilessly for 12 hours, and with a speed of not less than 100 miles per hour, over the country about this place, killing almost the entire crop of peaches set tor tue present year, ana causing many of us to believe that he who spends ....... : i. -i i s - j.ce.v a peach-orchard in this sectionals looser, and should hereafter, give only his fence-corners to such trees. I, myself, was very seriously impressed upon seeing that so good a prospect for such de- icious fruit was again a tail ore, but . took consolation from reflections on the good tning3 that yet remained unnurt, conspicu ous amonir which were blackberries and persimmons, both of which are very good when there is nothing better, and our appe tites sufficiently keen. Apples, cherries, plums, and various other fruits, are, by no means entire failures, as yet ; and some of these may even prove to be exceedingly pieniiiui i ms year, xuy gioom irom tne peach-failure, has, therefore, now measura bly subsided, and, like the fox by the grapes which he bad been unable to procure, I am almost certain that the peaches would not have agreed with my stomach, even had they reached maturity. i Ihe unuuaiiv drying winds of the past few weeks have acted as a; powerful caustic- on every thing exposed-to them, and have dried the hides of men, in many instances. so as to make grease an alsolute necessity bearcciy can a man be found, in these digg ings, who has not a sore nose, sore lips, or sore hands, while many have all these troub les combined, with severecough, redeyes, and broncho-nasaL cararrh m addition These winds, conjoined with long davs and bright sunshine, have actually ea wrought upon the complexions of men as to render the otherwise handsome, uglv, and the ugly, hideous, or so exceedingly ugly as to almost make their own flogs bitethem, their horses run awav, and their wives sue for divorce. Respectfully, Iciithyophaoos An Extraordinary Marriage. About three weeks ago says the London (England) Daily Telegraph, a young couple, attended by a gay bridal procession, pre sented themselves at the principal church of the Slobodka-Romanovka, suburb of Odes sa, for the purpose of being permanently united by the bonds of holy matrimony. When the affianced pair, however, had reach ed the altar-rails and were there awaiting the fulfillment of their dearest hopes, the papa, detecting a certain unsteadiness ot gait in the bridegroom, which appeared to hjs reverence incompatible with the solem nity of the occasion, declined to perform his sacerdotal; office upon a person whom he more vigorously than elegantly alluded to as a "boozing" swine. Indignant at the untimely inebriety of his offspring, the fath er of the drunkard seized him by the col- ar, dragged him out of the church, and be abored him soundly with a stout cudgel in the vain hppe of rcstoringHiim to such self-possession as might qualify him to un dergo the marriage ceremony wth ordinary steadfastness. The bride's father took a more practical view of the situation than his wrathful gossip. Addressing tho congrega tion from the altar-steps, in a stentorian voice, he declared his.daughter freed from ler matrimonial engagement, aud further stated that any eligible candidate for, her hand, presenting himself then and there, might wed her on the spot,! without incur ring any expense, and count upon a fond parent's tender blessing to boot. Two as pirants came forward. After Inspection by the bride'and brief inter?ogatin as to fheir' respective worldly means and position, one was politely dismissed and the other took the luckless "boozing swineV place at the altar where, a; few minutes later, he was made a happy husband. Thus, he that came to look on remained to be married, 'while the victim of ill-timed potationsilaggered home brideless, but with a skinfufof sore bones. ; Tiie Girl Pound in China. Moung Ed win, a Burmese, who has been educated in this country with the view of sending him as a Baptist missionary to Burniah, lectured recently in Baltimore. Speaking of the de plorable condition of women in the East, owing mainly to peculiar religious teach ings, he said : "Girls in China are believed to have no souls, and to kill them is not murder, and therefore not to be punished. Where parents are too poor to support the girl children they are disposed of in the following way : At regular intervals an ap pointed officer goes through a village and collects from poor parents all the girl child ren that they cannot support, when they are about eight days old. He has two large baskets attached to the ends of a bamboo pole and slung over his shoulder. Six in fants are placed in each basket, and he car ries them to some neighboring village and exposes them ! for sale. Mothers who desire to raise wives for their sons buy such as they may select. The othersjare taken to the government asylums, of which there are many all through the country. If there is room there they are taken in, if not they are drowned." Adventure with a Mad Dog. Mrs. Lewis, wife of James M. Lewis, Esq., of this county, had a round with a mad dog last Sunday week. She was at homo, the family having goue to church, when a mad idog came into the yard. She either Knew or thought the dog was mad, and first thought she would take a gun and shoot it, but concluded not to do so as it was Sunday. She however, being a plucky woman, thought she could kill the rabid animal with a stick and went into the yard thus armed. - Attacking the dog it wa with difficulty she could keep him off, and her clothing was sev eral times torn by the teeth of the mad dened animal. Mrs. Lewis soon had to fnt r-fii!?e! on the ash-hopper : but it was not long before the dog dislodged her from that position, and she beat a precipitate retreat iuto the house with the dog at lier heels tearing her clothes several times as she ran j but she es caped into the house without scratch on her flesh. A negro came along soon af terwards, who was on the search for the dog, kuowing it was mad, aud he quickly dispatched with his; gan. MooresvilUs Gazette. f Chinese soldiers get three cents a day, and uo restrictions as to bow they spend it. How it must make a donkey laugh to see what an insignificant littlo ear a whale can boast. Fraud in Food. The statement that nearly "'one hnu dred, milliou pounds of oleomargarine have beea sold in this country since the manufacture of that commodity began, at the same time that the .article has not figured to any extent, if at all, in market quotations, Is well calculated to inspire alarm, in view of thn which food adulteration is carried. CheaD and nasty substitute lor wholesome articles of diet are oue of the worst forma of fraud. As to this elenm duct, it appears to be for the most part clandestinely put upou consumers. There is an amount of subterfuge, concealment and false pretence about bogus butter in dustry, and the disreputable methods of those engaged iu ir, that stamp the whole business as an imposition upou the com munity. The objection made by the cloomargarine dealers to the law which prohibits them from foisting it upon the people as the genuine product of the dairy, is a piece of the baldest impudence. Those statutes requiring them to desig nate it as what it is, are emiueutly pro per, and it is to be hoped that the persons who have persistently disregarded the re- quireinents will be made to suffer for their offence. Philadelphia Becord. 'Charleston, April 19. -The Cincinnati excursionists have left here for Savannah, having spent two days very pleasantly in Charleston. The party arrived Saturday night, having received manifestations of welcome at all towns along the route. Yes terday the visitors spent the day inspecting the attractions of the citv. All classes in the community participated in the welcome, lhe torenoon was spent in visiting the churches and driving about the city, and in the afternoon the visitors enjoyed a pleasant trip to Fort Moultrie and the beach of Sul livan's Island. This morning a grand ex cursion was given on the steamship "Moro Castle," during which the visitors were the guests of the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Charleston. A banquet was served in the main saloon, at which speech es were made by the mayor of this city, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and others, which were fittingly responded to by3Iessrs. E. P. Ransom, T. F. Covington and Jas. G. Sextol, of Cincinnati. The ves sel, after steaming around the harbor, pro ceeded across the bar, giving all ou board an excellent view of Fort Sumter, the na tional jetties and other points of interest. The Tobacco Fly and How to Fight It. The Danville lieyister tells in the following how to " gobble up" the fly : 'The cold, windy weather of the last few days has had tire effect to check the growth of the tobacco plants in the beds, and the depredations of tho flics or bugs have become more noticeable. A farmer mentioned to ns yesterday a plan he thought of trying to free his plant beds of these insects, which others had tried with success. It was to select a hen with young chickens and confine her iu a coop on the border of the plant bed, so that the little chicks could wander among the plants and pick off the bugs. We never before heard of this mode of extermina tion, but it strikes us as being worthy of a trial. It is well known that a flock of tin keys turned into a tobacco field are most efficient wormers, aud with their keen eyes aud sharp bills pick the tobac co worms off cleaner than a man would." The Treaty of 1850. The Monroe Doctrine and ihe Isthmus Canal. Washington, April 16. The House committee on foreign affairs, to which was referred the several joint resolutions relating to the Monroe doctrine in con nection with the proposed interoceauic canal, reported to the House to-day a substitute for those measures, which pro vides that steps shall at once be taken to abrogate the treaty of April 10th, 1850, betwecu the United States and Great Britain, commonly known as the Clayton Bulwer treaty, by which the contracting powers bind themselves to guarantee jointly the safety and freedom of any ca nal which should be constructed across the central American isthmus. The com mittee reports that this treaty is an ob stacle and possible peril in tiie way ot a complete and pacific assertion of a sound, liecessary and vigorous American policy. The Bayonet Bill In the House. Representative Ewiug, of Ohio, made a ringing speech ou the amendment to the bayouet bill. When tho vote was taken it was found that 95 persons, all Republi caus, were iu the House of Representa tiveswho held that it was. highly proper and necessary in a country claiming to be free and calling itself a Republic for arm ed soldiers to guard the polling places aiud help freemen preserve their liberties by intimidation. As Gen. Ewiug told these euemies of civil liberty no Anglo Saxon in England had ever voted in the sight of bayouets. It is reserved for this age and country for such an outrage upon freemen to be attempted. It is not a mat ter of surprise that Grant should be the choice of the machine iwliticlans. Not one of them cares the 6nap of his finger for his couutry or for the liberties of the people only so far as he can hold office aud gather into his coffers the hard earn ings of the people. Grant Is their ideal, for he is the true representative of the idea of force and pillage. He is a fit suc cessor in this century of Attilla and Ala ne. Gen. Ewing showed op the ntter absur dity aud inconsistency of the action of the Stalwarts in objecting to the proposed amendment. Not only j had a majority of ihe Republicans, as we Showed yesterday, voted for. this very amendment daring the extra session, but Hayes had actually approved of it. But more than this ; Gen, Ewing showed that the Republican party were perfectly insincere in their pretend ed opposition to the priucipleaud practice of attaching amendments to a onr tUiiation bills, inasmuch ai they had 'placed them selves no less than 337 political riders (amendments) on appropriation bills whilst they were in power. . Such gross impudence aud folly and chcekw is al most without a parallel. I do despise these demagogues, that fret a u angry muuuuue ; iney are ont as The froth upon the mountain-wave. Let the Republican party be held up as it deserves to be as advocaiug force in elections. Let it be branded and pillor ied as the-party that would destroy free, fair, hpnest elections nuder the specious guise of guarding the polls with bayonets and protecting electors iu their rights. The Republican leaders well understand that a free, fair, full election and an hon est count mean death to all their hopes. Let the voice of the people be heard and the disintegration and destruction of the Republican party is inevitable. Held to gether by the cohesive power of public plunder, it will dissolve like the snow nuder the heat of the sun just as soon as the pay and provender are forever with drawn. Like the banditti of Greece, or the buccaneers of the past, they will seek new alliances and new fields for maraud ing and pillage. The Republican party, in its infamous, vindictive aud corrupt record, stands con victed of being the enemy of the ieace. the prosperity, the honor, and the liber ties of their country. Its last recorc the vote of its leaders iu the House that no freeman no qualified elector shall be allowed to vote nnless under guard, aud that his keeper shall be an armed soldier of the Uuited States. When Paul the Apostle was a prisoner at Rome he was chained to a soldier. This was in the days of the Casars. When a free born citizen of the United States shall be called upon to exercise the highest privilege and authority uuder the constitution of his country that of a sovereign casting his ballot to express his choice he shall be guarded by a cor don of soldiers with shotted guns and fix ed bayonets. But this is in the time of that other Cajsar who would fain wear a crown, aud in the last quarter of the nine teenth century after the adveut of tho Prince of Peace. Wil. Stav. MARRIED.
