W Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, MAY , 1886. At mfcose Expense. Those people who are clamoring for the eight-hour rule of work, vainly suppose that such innovation on the present system will inure wholly to their benefit; that they will be the gainers and their employers the losers, by the change. Is it likely to result in that way ? It will not change hu man nature, and therefore will not re- strain the ambition and struggle 01 men to rise. Those who choose to wnrlr onlv eiffht hours, should that be come the rule, will be allowed to do so; but that will not hinder others from working longer, nor from receiving larger pay for their labor. It will not deprive a skilled workman from com manding wages equal to his merits, nor keep him on the same social plain with the ordinary mechanic who works onty eight hours. It will not abolish the laws of right and wrong nor the dis tinction which the common sense of the world has established in respect to industry and sloth. The eight hour people are deceiving themselves, as a few years of experience will prove, un less, indeed they can reverse great nat ural laws which govern this subject rangements fur men of some "Murder Hole." The Richmond Dispatch gives a de scription of a very remarkable natural curiosity near Red Sulphur Springs in Roanoke county, Va. It consists of perpendicular hole in the ground 13U feet deep. Width and length" 40x60 feet. It has three perpendicular sides of solid rock the fourth also mainly rock descending at an angle of about 45 degrees. On this latter side, descent js made to the bottom by means of ropes. The bottom is covered with moss and ferns of the loveliest charac terthat wither almost as soon as brought taHth top. The summer tem perature at the bottom is 44 degrees--too cold for snakes none ever having been seen there. It is in fact the jgreat gaping mouth of a deeper cave, which has not yet been explored more than 200 feet. It is called "Murder Hole" by the people around it because, years ago, cattle used to fall into it and were lost. It is now enclosed to pre vent such accidents. Moving West Mr. P. M. Wilson, Secretary of the Board of Agriculture, and Mr. John T. Patrick, State J Immigration Agent, were in Salisbury a few hoars on last Monday. They were on their way to Ashevitle wher they are making ar- introdueing intelligent means, from points both north and south. It is to be done on the same general plan which has pro ven successful at the new town of Southern Pinjes. At this place there are now going up twenty-five new dwelling houses and uone of them having less than eight rooms. This looks like success. Commissioner Pat rick says thjat the work will be easier in the west, i He can draw from both sections, as the climate, water, etc., of the mountainous region will be suffi cient inducement. His plans only in clude person of some means and only such persons! as will invest. This in sures an active, intelligent and desira ble class of immigrants. Mr. Wilsojn says that the indications for the speedy development of the western pari of the State are most flattering, iThe Department has many querries regarding that section from the best people all over the Union.

In Boston, the American Society for Psychical Research .has appointed a special committee on apparitions and haunted houses.
