The Carolina Watchman. J VOL XVJX-THIBD SEEIES SAUSBUBY, H. C, FEBRUARY 11, 1886. i u 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 me i a drunkard and the woman a blacken- ! j i e xi i. i. 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. Star. 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: Paris- Oct. 0. Such is the state of irritation among the lower classes, that the king, in his carriage, Was insulted on the boulevards the day before yes terday; his guard found it di then It to keep them off from the royal carriage 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. LATEST OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. Captain Burnie of the brig Sir Geo. Beck with, arrived at. New York in ltr days from Barbadoes, informs us, that tb.3 British sloa-vof war, dauntless had arrived at Barbadoes in a short paseae from the East Indies, having sto ped at St. Jlelena, where she found the Northumberland.

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. Senator Ransom's Speech on Mr. Hendricks. From the New York World. -a r i , t ' 4 l i i ! 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 som, "that the everlasting convenant of our Union is established in the hearts of all our people, and that through the clouds of his sorrow we can behold the peace that never is to be broken." The cigar that is called imported is about as appropriately named as the hired girl we call domestic. YonJcers Statesman. Go "Very stupid girl. girl, that i i Miss Ham worth uHowso? !

Philadelphia Jmes. gglesop WilDin avj Anderson in Washington. ai wasnington, U- v;., Ithea and ; 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 my paper, words of dread to beginners 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. Hints to Young Men. That clothes don't make the man. That if they once get into debt they may never get out of it.

That thev need something more substantial than cigars kid gloves and; a cane to start housekeeping with. That they can't recon on their fath er's fortune to carry them througe life. rortuues are slippery things better have something else to fell back on. That girl who decks herself in the latest things out, and parades the street while her mother is doing the washing, isn't worth wasting much love on. That a fellow who deliberately pro poses matrimony to girl when he can't support himself, is either a first class fraud or a tool unless he marries for money and becomes ker hired man. Baltinwrean. 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 ? The Observer and Gazette, Also. The Wilmington Star, in its issue of Sunday, 31st ult., says: The Star is not alone in standing up for sound Democratic principles in North Carolina. The Charlotte Demo crat, Salisbury Watchman, Scotland Neck Democrat, Clinton Caucasian, Pittsboro Home, and perhaps others, edited by men of intelligence and ed ucation, are opposed to the Paternal system, and to such dangerous measures are Blair bills. We do not know whether or not our contemporary is di posed to place us in the category of those "of intelligence and education;" but, at any rate, with all the intelligence and education we have, we desire to be ranged with those who oppose in toto the Blair bill and all such measures, as we have more than once emphatically stated in our colums. fayetteville Observe and Gazette. The Philadelphia Hortical society has had a wonderful and little known flower on exhibition in its rooms.

A New York dis patch of the first inst, says: r ... 1 l ll "Messages written oy tne gentlemen oi the party, addressed to themselves, were left at Ulifton, and were received by the same gentlemen on the train while going at full speed. The apparatus used consists of an ordinary Morse key, a phonectic receiver, an electric mag net and a battery. JNo special or extra wire is used running between or near the rails, but the messages jump through the air between the tin roof of the cars, and the ordinary wires strung along by the side of the railway, a distance of from twenty-five to four hundred feet. The farthest distance traversed to day without a wire was some forty or fifty feet. The metalic roofs of the cars were connected to gether by wires which communicated with a Morse telecrapliic instrument . ... i j nh.d in nne nf the cars.

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 street or in public can (something I have never seen), yon may know that they do not belong to the first families, You may say that they do not accom- piisn so much at their studies and all inat; nut still the fact remains that there is much that is admirable in their breeding and manners.
