Wild Cat Advertising.
That the Observer is in favor o ad
vertising goes without the .saying, but
at the same time it is not in favor of,
or readv to endorse every wild-cat
scheme that may be presented to our
citizens tor tneir patronage, r w juim
benefit we believe the legitimate news
paper ahead of any other channel
through which to reach the public,
though we do not condemn all other
methods. j There is a difference, how
ever, between the newspaper .and the
Wfc rotten ud occasionally with no
better view than to catch the dollars of
those who see fit to advertise in them.
In this connection we desire to call at
tion to a card published elsewhere 4y
Mr. Joh Hirst in relation to an adver
tising sheet distributed in this city yes
terday. It Beems that Mr. Hirst, with
out knowing anything abut tlhe matter,
received the credit for printing it.
To relieve those interested wwill state
that the work' was done at the Observer
job office, and so far as the printing of
it is concerned, was 'perfectly legiti
mate. IA contract was made for the
printing of a certain number of copies,
every ope of which was printed and
paid foil If those who patronized the
affair are anxious to know how many
were printed they can ascertain tne
fact by linquiry at the Observer business
office.
We are ready to print some more at
the same price, but never expect to
print aliy for a Charlotte man. The
thing won't work somehow when a
home man tackles it. It won't pan
out But the stranger can come along
write up the town or get up some sort
of a scheme, and by a couple of day's
work skip out with $50, $75 or $100
clear profit, while the advertisers are
perfectly satisfied it is no concern to
others. There is one advantage offer
ed toihose wishing to advertise in
these schemes they can fix their own
price. But after all, it is a question
whether such advertising is cheap at
any price. Charlotte Observer.
Just so, Mr. Observer. A man can
do better than that in Salisbury. He
can take a shading pen and write cards
on a roll and hang it in the post office,
and collect enough to pay for a
month's advertising in the Watchman,
from each man. But the written ad
vertisement has the advantage of only
being seen by the townspeople who
stroll into the post office, which would
not be the case were the work done
through legitimate channels.
Extracts: Rev
Mr. Talmage
meets.
on Elope-
Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage preach
ed one of his double-barreled sermons
on the subject of clandestine mar
riages and elopements on a recent Sun
day in Brooklyn, N. Y. It was one of
his series on the "Marriage Ring."
His text was Proverbs ix, 17. He
said:
'"I want to aim a point blank shot at
clandestine marriages and escapades.
. Marriage is the ship that was4aunched
by God for the good of mankind. But
the ship has been struck by the winds
of free loveism. The notions of socie
ty must be entirely reconstructed on
the question of marriage. In New
England, the supposed home of purity
there are 2,000 divorces a year. In
Massachusetts there is one divorce to
every fourteen marriages. In Maine,
that frigid State of good charity, there
are 478 divorces granted each year, and
in Vermont the swapping wives is no
great rarity.
This sacred rite of marriage is being
defamed daily. For every case t h at is
reported, many more are hushed up.
There is not an hour of the night that
persons engaged in defiling the sacred
rite are not climbing down ladders and
hastening to other States where the
law is less severe than in their own.
The coach box and the back seat of the
landeau are constantly in flirtation.
, Ministers of -religion, mayors of cities
and arms ofcthe law. are aiding to make
the lives of young people miserable by
.uniting them in marriage, the bans of
which nave never been published. Mar
riage is made a joke. -
But ninety-nine out of j;very hun
dredyes 999 out of every 1,000 clan
destine marjiages mean ruin here and
hereafter. A girl might as well jump
off at East River dock to think of it.
The result is, first, trouble: then, police
icourt; then, divorce; and, finally, hell'
satan presides over these matches.
He names the trysting places. He
points out the preacher who will per
form the ceremony. He directs to the
railroad station, purchases the ticket,
and, when the couple are whirling to
wretchedness at the rate of fortv miles
an hour, he deserts them. Truant mar
riages are to be deplored, lecanse they
are nearly always proposed by bad men.
They are generally bigamists,, drunk
ards or brutes. They may be well dress
ed, well cologned and pomatumed, but
they are really nothing but the es
sence of villtany.
A man may marry a woman below
him in station aiKhelevate the woman
to his level. But if a woman marries
below her station she always fall to the
level of her husband. Tbe first vear of !
bhcu a me is nappy irom its very novel
ty. The second year both grow hear
tily tired of each other. The third year
brings divorce, the husband bed

ea wan wjih bmwu ,
Women so often take men whom
they know nothing about! A busi-
ness man doesn t give credit to a stran-
ger, neither does a sensible man buy a
tnat is mortgaged; but, every ,
day, women are marrying men who are j
covered with hret mortgages and sec-
ond mortgages of habit '
Let all ministers of religion and offi-
cers of the law refuse to officiate m
marrying runaway couples and refuse
to leave the date blank in the certifi-
cate. Let us nave a law requiring a
license for marriage and requiring the
publication of the engagement before
hand.
But I bring this whole subject into
the light of the judgment day. 'God
shall bring every work and every se
cret thing unto view.' Then all the
fingers of condemnation will be point
ed at the wicked. All the squeamish
ness of society will be past. The un
clean man and the impure woman will
be seen as they are, with their records
stamped on their faces, hands, bodies
and feet. All the marriage intringues
1 will be known more plainly than the
li"ht of a thousand sins could make
them. What will be the chance of evil
doerg then ? How will it be on the last
day, when all the inhabitants of earth
and heaven and hell rise up and shout,
'Behold the bridegroom cometh!' Let
us pray."
A Foolish Infatuation.
Mon Finger and his sister-in-law, Mrs
Barnett, an account of whose elope
ment and subsequent capture in Alex
ander has been published, were?tried
before a magistrate at Lincolntoh Fri
day. Both parties acknowledged the
stealing of tne money, their intimacy
prior to the robbery,, and in fact every
thing they were charged with. They
were sent to .jail in default of bail, to
await trial at the next term of Lincoln
Superior . Court. The Newton Enter-
prise savs the woman is completely in
fatuated with ringer, who is ugly
enough to stop a clock every time he
looks at its iace. When her husband
offered bond for her she refused it,
saying that she "loved Mon," and in
tended to stay in jail as long as he did.
Saturday her husband visited her in
jail and again offered to furnish bail
for her, but she still refused to allow
it, and declared that she detested him.
He then went away and bought a lot
of nice furniture, which he sent to her
room in the jail. She is only 15 years
of age, but has been married two years.
ANOTHER.
Joaquin Miller's daughter Maud is
twenty-one years old. She lias diso
beyed her father, kicked out of the pa
rental traces and has two living hus
bands. She will probably land in jail.
Her first husband A. L. Mac K aye has
sued for a divorce. Her father urged
her to go with him to Mexico but she
refused. He wrote to her:
"Every moment of your present life
is a crime. As for your companion, the
penitentiary is too good for him. He
has taken you to shame and ruin, and
it seems that the first thing he did af
ter tbe shameless marriage was to send
you to beg money in my name, pre
tending that I had sent you out home
less. If you do not want to travel you
can remain in Washington at the
Cabin and resume your music, paint
ing and other studies. Then, if Mr. Mac
Raye gets a divorce and you believe Mr.
McCormick to be a fit companion, 1
shall not say a word. If you have no
respect for yourself or me, or your
mother's memory, come because it is
best for you to come, Mrs. McCormick
decided to stay in New York. Wil.

France in 1815 Napoleon and Ney.
A friend has given us a clipping from
an old paper. What paper it is can
not be ascertained, but it seems to have
been printed in 1815. Of course it
abounds in foreign news. The editors
of those days, didn't think that any
thing but foreign news was worth
printing. It didn't make any differ
ence what was happening under their
nosest they didn't pay any attention to
it, but just naturally "honed" for in
telligence from over the seas. We re
produce, as nearly like the copy as
possble, some of the foreign news that
appeared in this old paper, as it has
something of an interest even at this
day:

they used the most insulting language,
and advised him to retire quietly to
England before it was too late. Sever
al cried out to him that he had brought
upon thenvall the m miseries of famine,
aud asked how he could appear in pub
lic tha in manner whilst they wanted
bread. The apprehension of a famine
is very general, the poorer classes are
in great distress even at this moment.
It is impossible not to recollect that the
cry of bread wa.s the signal which pre
ceded the horrors of the Revolution.

The Editors of the Mercantile Adver-
User have received her files of the
Paris Moniteur and Journal de Paris
to the t24th of October; but they are
extremely barren of intelligence. The
proceedings of the Chamber of Peers
are not published; and a Chamber of
Deputies are employed in discussing
projects for amending the constitution
al charter and ameliorating the peoples
condition. Of Marshal Ney, not a syl
lable is mentioned in the papers. We
learn verbally, however, that his trial
is progressing.
Philadelphia, December 1.
We have been informed by a gentle
man from Havre de grace, W Terrier,
that Marshal Ney has escaped from
his imprisonment; but of his destiny he
is not informed.
He further states, that the presence
of the allied forces alone prevents rev
olutionary scenes in France.
O Unnecessary Work of Women.
Elizabeth Cummings, in an ex
change, says: "I am convinced that
one quarter of the work performed by
women is unnecessary, and that the
world would get on just as well with
out it. It is like the ottoman cover I
once saw a lady work. She was all
bent up, and was putting her eyes out
counting stitches, "I don t get any time
for reading," she said, plaintively, as
she piccked up some beads on her nee
dle. "You must have a great deal of
leisure." And yet she had spent more
time embroidering a ridiculous dog on
a piece of broad cloth than would have
sufficed to read 20 good books.
It did not have the poor merit of be
ing economical, for the price of the
materials would have bought enough
handsome damask for. two covers. A
friend of mine tells of seeing a squaw
seat herself bv the town pump, unroll
a bundle of calico, cut out a dress,
make it, put it on and walk off, all in
about two hours. I have always re
gretted that he did not continue the
story by telling me that the squaw
spent her leisure beautifully. I would
not have women reduce their sewing
quite to so simple a performance, but a
good deal would be gained if they
thought more about living and less
about its accidents. The transcendent
fact is what we are, not what we accu
mulate or possess. Even knowledge
may be so used that it is merely an or
nament, which keeps up a twinkling
about the mind, like bright jewels in
pretty ears, and is only a possession,
and not a part of ourselves.
To fill time, to pass it busily, is not
to use it. Labor in itself is not worthy.
The meanest work that makes home a
lovely, sacred place, is consecrated and
fit for the hands of a queen; but deli
cate work that ministers to no human
need, even if it has artistic merit to re
commend it, if it consumes the hours a
woman ought to use training her
mind to think, and her eyes to see, and
making her brain something more than
a mere, filling for her skull, is but busy
idleness and a waste of time. I hope
the day . will come when e very woman
who can read will be ashamed of the
"column for ladies," printed in some of
our papers, and which tells with more
sarcastic emphasis than any words of
mine, how women choose to spend their
leisure. Surely if they have time to
follow intricate directions for all sorts
of trimming, and not so good as that
sold in the shops at two cents a yard,
they may, if they will, find a few mo
ments in which to read a book.

Mr. nansom oenevea it almost im
possible at this time to measure the
worth to our country of a great charac
ter like that of the late Vice President.
We are yet too near his life to write
his history. He had lived forty-three
years consp'cuously befcre the public
gaze, aud had always proved himself
the earnest, faithful champion of the
people's rights. He had proved himself
a lover of his whole country and its
liberties. The Southern States in this
emergency felt deep, sincere and over
flowing sympathy and sorrow at the
bereavement of tneir Northern sisters
"Tank Almiffhtv God." said Mr. Ran

of all our people, and that through the

Mary Anderson, who have been playing
engagements as rival stars at the two
theatres, have carried the rivalry into
society. Mary Anderson drew a large
audience, with standing room only, at
Mrs. Z. B. Vance's home there last
Thursday. The news spread at the
different receptions that Mary Anderson
was there, and the street before Senator
Vance's home was immediately black
ened with carriages, and the people lin
gered near until long after 5 o'clock,
"until Mary did appear." There was
envy in other Senatorial homes tha the
North Carolina colleague should secure
such a strong attraction, and chagrin to
see a room full of callers suddenly melt
away when told that the dramatic star
was twinkling in Mrs. Vance's parlor.
News and Observer.
Love for Newspapers.
The following extract so well expres
ses our idea that we think the space it
Occupies will be well used:
"The strong attachment of subscri
bers to a well-conducted newspaper is
fully confirmed by all publishers. 'Stop

in business, lose their terror after a pa
per has been established a few years.
So long as a paper pursues a just, hon
orable and judicious course, meeting the
wants of its customers in all respects,
the ties of friendship between the sub
scribers and the papers are as hard to
break by an outside third party as the
link which binds old friends in busi
ness or social life. Occasional defects
and errors in a newspaper are overlook
ed by those who have become attached
to it through its perusal for years.
They sometimes become dissatisfied
with it on account of something which
has slipped into its columns, and may
stop taking it; but the absence of
the familiar sheet at their
homes and offices for a few weeks be
comes an insupportable privation, and
they hasten to take it again, and possi
bly apologize for haying stopped it.
No friendship on earth is more con
stant than that contracted by the read
er for a journal which makes an honest
and earnest effort to merit its contin
ued support. Hence, a conscientiously
conducted paper becomes a favorite in
the family.

Statesmen who are Queer Drinkers.
Correspondence of the Cleveland Leader.
"Some of these statesmen are queer
drinkers," the saloonist went on. "A
member I know drink) about fortv
drinks a day. He fills his glass to the
brim and tells the barkeeper, when it
runs over, his sight is bad and he can't
see well. One must have three lumps
of sugar, a tablespoonful of water and
a halt goblet of whiskey for his usual
dram. Heilusts a little nutmeg over
this. ctuIds it down and exclaims every
time he does so that it is a drink fit for
the gods. One Congressman drinks
beer in great quantities!, and he always
puts pepper sauce in it. He is an econ
omical fellow and onys that pepper
sauce makes the beer burn his stomach
as well as whiskey, and his drinks cost
him but half the price.
"Some statesmen drink on the sly,
and one I know who, if he sees any one
in the saloon whom he is ashamed to
have known that he drinks, will buy. a
cicrar or eret change for a quarter and
then wait around until his friened goes
out before he orders his dram. I don't
think," Concluded this man, "that
statesmen drink as much as they msed
to. Public onindon is against it and
they have to be 'careful.
Bill Arp on Women.
There is no record anywhere, in any
history, of a happy married state where
a man had more than one wife. La
mech had two, but the scriptures say
nothing more about him. Adam didn t
have but one, and Noah one and they
started the buisiness of peopling the
world. Old Father Abraham had one,
and when he took another on the sly,
old Aunt Sarah got after him, and she
frailed out the second one with a thrash
pole and run her off. Jacob had two,
and if ever a man deserved two he did;
, but they didn't get along well, even
thcug'i they were sisters. Moses didn't
Have b it one. King David had several,
but he was cursed with them and ac-
many commiixea muruer to get one oi
them and lived in anguish ever after,?
for he said, "My sin is ever before me." ,
Old bolomon must have had an awful
time of it, for he had a thousand, and
they kept him so harassed and bedeviled j
that he flew to his inkstand and wrote (
that he had found one good man, but j
a Huuu wucihii in a muusanu ne niiu
not found. Of course not. How could
a woman be good when she was only
a thousandth part of a wire? But
Solomon repented of his folly, and said
it was all vanity, and advised all men
to "live joyfully with the wife whom
thou lovest," and to "beware of strange
women."
I never think of those surplus wives
who are sealed to the Mormons without
a feeling of sadness and pityv for every
new one causes the others a pang of
shame. They are all in prison, and
their dependence is like that of a caged
bird that tamely looks to its keeper for
food. There is no escape, for woman
is a proud creature and will suffer in
silence rather than parade her folly to
the world. Did you ever notice how a
woman will suffer and be strong, es
pecially if she had a child or children
to keed her company ?

all the intelligence and education we

Maidens of the South.
The casual visitor of the South
knows little of the refinement and love
liness of the well-bred Southern women.
Like the haze covered mountains of
North Carolina, "the land of the sky,"
you must study from every point of
view before you can properly appre
ciate them. They must know who
you are before they unveil themselves
to you. They do not overwhelm you
with their knowledge of philosophy or
abtruse science, snd especially do they
shrink from strong-minded views of
things. Bui do not infer from their
gentleness that they lack character.
Deprived of the luxury and ease iu
which they were reared, they teach,
keep boarders, become milliners and
even descend to their own kitchen with
a sweetness and dignity that admits of
no sense of degradation and mark them
everywhere as the true-bred genth
folks that they were.
The maidens of the South, as may
be inferred from the above outline, of
tneir mothers, are more shielded from
the world than Northern girls, and are
less independent If vou see a bevv of
Southern school girls boisterous on the

You may say that they do not accom-

WIFE!
H
My wife has been a
Gfttarrb. Several physician and
patent medicines were resorted to, yet the
disease continued unabated, nothing ap
pearing to pake say impression upon it.
Her constitution finally became implicated,
the poison being in her blood.
I secured s bottle of B. B. B. and placed
hr upon its use, and to our surprise the
improvement began at once, sad her i
cry was rspid and complete. No
preparation ever produced such a
fil chsnge, sad for all forms of
ease I cheerfully recommend B. B. B.
superior Blood Purifier.

From the Athens (Gs.) Banner-Wstchi
Uncle Dick Ssulter says: Fifty
ago I had s running' ulcer on my leg which
refused to heal under any treatment. In
1853 1 went to Cslifornis sad remained
eighteen months, and in 1878 1 visited Hot
Springs, Ark., remaining three months, bat
wsjs not cured. Amputation wss discussed,
but I concluded to make one more effort.
I commenced taking the B. B. B. about six
weeks ago. -The Fifty-year old sore on
my leg is healing rapidly, sad yesterday I
walked about fifteen miles fishing sod
hunting without sny pain, sad
using the B. B. B. I could not wslk
ing hslf s mile. I sleep soundly at night
for the first time in msny years. To think
thsit six bottles have done me more good
than Hot Springs, eighteen months in Cal
i for nia, besides a a immense amount of med
icines snd eight or ten first clsss physicians,
will convince sny man on earth that it is a
wonderful blood medicine. It has
cured me of catarrh.
There is a lady living here, Mrs.
has had catarrh for many, many years,
have known she hail it for fifteen or twi
ty years, aud my father once doctored h
rs she wss then a tenant on our place,
tha last two and a half years she has
Itedriddcn. the catarrh or cancer (the
nitrous physicians have never decided
which) during her two years snd s half in
the bed, hud est en all t he roof of her
mouth out. She was so offensive no
could stsy in the room; she could not
anything, but could swsTTow soup II it
strained. She gave up to die, and
near perishing all thought she would die
Her son bought the B. B. B. and she aasd
several bottles, which effected sa entir
cure. She is now well snd hearty. X hsvs
not exaggerated one particle.
