Similar statements are made by the judges aud nrison officers of the States of Connecticut, New York Pennsyl vania, ect., ami of England also, giv ing the per centage of crime attribu table to intemperance at 75, 80, 85 and 90 per cent. But as these are all too distautlo have any weight what ever in North Carolina with the class of reasoners referred to, the. executive committee of the prohibition conven tion have taken the trouble, in the absence of any statistical records in tins State, to ascertain from some of eur Judges a statement of their obser vations on the subject of the relation of crime and intemperance.

"I think," said a well-knowa orchestral leader -the best joke ever played in this town was on an ambitions amateur pianist when Qottschalk was here. The amateur's father was the owner of large hall, and he effered the use of it to Gettschalk for his benefit. There was to be a piece for eight pianos, and the amateur was to play one of the instruments. I waa'the leader. I thought Gottsehalk would haves fit when I told him that the amateur couldnt'play three straight notes. " 'He is sure to throw us all out," said I 'and ruin the performance.' "Gottsehalk swore like a major, bot t'was no good. , The bills were out and be couldn't go back oa his programme, even if the gift of the hall was no consideration to him. At last I hit . upon an idea that fixed the whole business. The Amateur came down to rehcrs&l, and we praised him up until be thought he was the star of the night. As soon as he left we took the ham mers out of his piano, and made it as dumb as an oyster. I guessed he would never know the difference, the seven pianos going at once. The tuneful convention laughed. "And just as I thought," said the leader, hammering on the table with his glass, "that amateur or bis friends never discov cred the trick." "No?" "No, sir; he just sailed in and pound ed, on that piano as if it were the worst ene my he ever had. He was bound he would show off among so many good pianists, and hammerd on his key-board until the per spiration nenrly blinded him. Now and then I looked at him approvingly, to give him fresh courage, and every time that I did he gave the piano a tick that nearly made matchwood of it. His friends all around threw bouquets at him, till he look cd like a wedding arch; and when it was all over, his fond parent fell on his neck in the greenroom and slipped a check for $250 into his hand. The old man didn't know whether he was standing on his head or his heels, he was so tickled, abd the way he set up the wine for the crowd wa3 a cau tion.""

The comet which made its appearance to the naked eye in the northeastern sky on the morning of June 23, and was seen from many points between Hartford, Conn., and San Francisco, Cal., is perhaps the comet ate.lv reported by Dr. Gould, of Cordova Observatory in South America, It appear ed, after its perhelion passage, in the con stellation Auriga, about eight degrees from Capclla, with a bright center and a tail 15 degrees long. It promises to be a conspic uous object in the heavens this summer. The new comer was almost simultancous y discovered in this country by P. H. Thompson, Blufton, Ga. ; by 1. 1 J1.U-- wafds, Havcrfsrd College, Pa. ; E. L. Lar kiu, New Windsor, and several others. We are indebted to Mr. Thompson for a special telegram announcing his interesting obser vation. A correspondent of the New York Sun reports the discovery of the comet at a little before 2 o'clock, A.'M., June 23iat ash- urnon. This we believe is the very earli est sight of the stranger, and may entitle the observer to the Warren prize of $200 Thp first annearanre of the comet is thus l I described by the Sun correspondent : 'Just before 2 o'clock this morning the writer was summoned to an upper story window by a night watcher in the hotel. Pointing to the horizon just east of the Gcrtr?retown Heiirhts. the- watcher said 'Don't you see that distant fire!' "Shooting up from the horizon was a bright, silvery, perfectly defined, nd steady stream of light, fan shaped. It was wholly unlike the light of a distant confla gration. The stream seemed to reach fur ther and further, up, pointing to tho pole star. The boundary lines were well de fined, and converged. It was no fire. There were none of the wave of light suggesting an auroral display. The distant glitter of n. movinsr electric light was the only ex planation that could be given of tho singu lar phenomenon. Suddenly there arose from the horizon a brilliant disk of light, bright as Venns at her brightest, and fulTy as large as that planet appears. Into this disk or nucleus the fan-shaped stream of liht converged. There was no longer any ...... ... r doubt ; it was the bursting into tbw u comet, the like of which has not been seen since Donati'i comet of 23 years ago. "The comet rose rapidly and became a splendid object. At 3 o'clock it was about 15 degrees above the horizon and 45 de gree's north of the moon. At this altitude th tail was about 10 degree long. It moved apparently rapidly in an easterly direction, and was visible until after sun rise. At half past four it was t eeo at Bodie, Cat., where the nucleus waa well defined and'the tail brilliant. It was observed t Tombstone. Arizona, at four A. with the nucleus apparently half the ze of a mon. and the tail fau-bpe ind very i j brilliant. A dispatch from Electrical. Light Patents. About 173 patents have so fur been granted for pat cnts relating to electrical lighting, in this country, and about COO more applications for patents thereon are now pending. When wc consider the laric -number cf patents now existing for telegraphing in struments, telephones, alarm?, clectricrd butteries, switches, and the di visions of electrical devices, it will readily be under wood that the Patent Office at Washington is rapidly becoming a great store house ot novelties relating to (electricity, and that this branch of invention is already one of extraordinary magnitude. Scientific Amer ican. History of the Old Red Cent. As the old "red cent" has now passed out of sight, liko the "old oak en bucket," its history is a matter of sufficient' interest sfor nrcscrvation. The cent wasirst proposed by Rob ert Morris, and was named by" Jeffer son two years later. It made its ap pearance from the mint in 1792. It bore the head of Washington on one side and thirteen links on tho other. The French revolution soon created a rage for French idea in America,' which put on the cent intend of the head of Washington the head of the Godcss of Liberty a French Liberty. The chain on the reverse fide was displaced by the olive wreath of peace; but the French Lioerty was short lived, and so w.n her portrait on our cent. The next head or figure that succeeded this the staid, classic dame with-a fillet around hr hair came into fashion about thirty erforty years ago, and lr finely chiseled Grecian features have been slightly' e fleeted by th'J laps of time.

This man Guitcau was not insane. He had a personal grevance, it i true, but he was mo' ed to the commission of crime by the factious idrit of nartisanshin. Not that he had any personal relations with the leaders of stal wartism, but his act is the logical fruit of their ideas and spirit. Whatever the issue, 'stalwart ism' is doomed.

The thrifty individuals and-classcs of society inevitably rise to the sur face ; the thriftless as inevitably sink to the bottom. No thoughtful erson can deem these results strange. They follow as effect -follows cause. The flush of business; the flow of money in modern times has tempted mrtry into spendthrift habits,; which I ring poverty iu the midst of surrounding evidences of prosperity, while those able to -resist these temptations flour ish and rirow rich.
