Interesting Chapter on Horses.
Mill Bridge, May 25th, '86.
Dear Sir: As I promised you some
time since a sketch of the world-fa
mous -Percberon-Norman Horse," I
now offer you the following points re
garding his history. - The great favor
these horses have received every where
anjd especially in the west is sufficient
warrant for going into some detail.
About the beginning of the 10th
cehtury, the Frankish war-horse, com
posed of the blood of the European
blacks, the rersian Lombardy gray
i,i a l l a t t
una tne Arabian ana Aincan buys
reachi'd a high state of excellence in
northern France. The Norman people
wijth characteristic energy, having the
best or stock to start with and the hn
esc territory in the French dominions
in a few years were able to show the
largest and nnest horses in Europe
Having originated in Normandv, and
Peche being a part of Normandy, this
breed of horses is sometimes called the
uPjere heron-Norman." In later years
when the .Norman s conquered .hng
land and established their rule over her
tli6 Noralan horse was introduced in
the British Isles, and was improved in
some points, bv the infusion of the
bldod of the beautiful Persian grays of
Lobbardy. For many years thereafter,
th Norman Kings paid great attention
to I the improvement of this splendid
anfmal, and took great pride in culti
vating his style and qualities. At this
tirhe he wasf bred entirely for war and
th chase, but about the year 1000 he
began to be used for the cultivation of
the soil. His weight, endurance, mus
cular power, strength of bone, lithe ac
tion and great intelligence were found
to be the precise qualities for the har
ness. He became the progenitor of all
this work-horses now known to the
civilized world; the Clyde of Scotland,
the English draft horse, and others of
less note, all came from this source.
H has been bred for toil for more than
25(0 years, and is, therefore, less fleet of
foot than when he was used as a steed
of war. Hew still the most sprightly
anjd of best action of his weight in the
kiiown world.
Mr. John E. Russell, Secretary of
thie Massachusetts Board of Agneul
tajre, said in one of their meetings a
few weeks ago that "the Norman horse
was one of the most important breeds
of horses raised in the known world.
Tiey are very much like our Morgan
horse was 40 years ago, except they
are two or three sizes larger. They
look just as the Morgan horse would if
thjey were ideal size. They have their
quick action, that no other family of
'.horses have had; they are of early ma
tulritv; can be put to work and without
fear of injury, when they are from 18
months to 2 years old."
rrot. Jamea ml mate, in nis nwtory
of the Norman horse, speaks of him as
the great horse which, by the Jsorman
French cavalry, was ridden to glory on
every Enropenn field of medieval times;
the great horse before whose charge, in
the first crusade, the Moslem cavalry
were driven like chaff before a hurri
cane; the great horse on whose back
the warriors of Normandy conquered
England, controled France and long
held the whole of Europe in awe. But
in o uer to show iba the .Norma.
hore can travel with other breeds, wt
Twil turn a moment to trials made o:
trot nig tracks an France. The aver
age time of 31 horses at Montague, oi
a track 1 5-0 miles in length, was six
minutes and forty seconds; at lllides,
on a 2 mile track, the average time of
40 horses was seven minutes and twen
ty seconds; at Courtlain; the average
time or oo norses ior mues was nine
minutes and htteen seconds; and at
Rouven "Decider trotted 2 345 miles,
drawing 408 pounds, in ten minutes.
As an illustration of the endurance of
the Norman oa the road there is au
thentic record that a gray mare 7 years
old belonging to a party in France,
was trotted 50 miles in less than 5
hours, over a hilly and rough road, and
and she did this two days in suc
cession without a whip. Many such
examples of endurance could be given
were it necessary. lo show how the
endurance of the Norman is appreciated

in Ajuiamt, liiL iviiufiiug hxjiaa uu
eminent English writer, in the British
Quartely Journal ot Agriculture, is to
the point: "The horses of Normandy
are a capital race for hard work and
scanty fare. I have never seen such
horses at the collar. Ihey are endur
ing and energetic beyond description.
VV ith their necks cut to the bone they
flinch not they put forth all their el
forts at the voiceot' the driver, or at
the dread sound of the whip. They
keep their condition when other horses
would die or neglect and hard treat
ment." Farmer. '
Industrial Education.
Experience has shown that manual
work is not distateful to schoolboys,
but that, on the contrary, they like it,
and soon begin to take pride in their
acquired skill of hand, and that such
studies help rater than retard mental
studies, particularly if they are pursued
under the direction of intelligent
teachers, able to.niake use of the rela
tions always existing between the book
studies and the bench work. Experi
ence has also shown a strong tendency
on the part of teachers to attach undue
importance to theoretical studies at the
expense of shop work, thus making
the industrial schools engineering col
leges rather than shops for the train
ing of workmen. This tendency needs
to be counteracted.
The advocates of these schools do
not think, as some people suppose, that
boys can be made skilled mechanics in
them. Before a boy or young man
becomes a master workman in any
trade he must have an amount of shop
practice that no school can provide
But it can prepare the boys to become
good mechanics, with comparatively
little practice in the shops; it can in
spire them with respect and love for
mechanical work, can instruct them in
the foundation principle of the con
structive arts drawing and can train
their eyes to see things and their hands
to promptly and skillfully obey the
will. This kind of education is all
perhaps that a school can accomplish,
but it "is sufficient to give the boy who
receives it a good start in life. Phila
delphia Ledger.
The General Assembly.
On Thursdav dast the General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church in
the South met at Augusta, Ga. This is
the highest judiciary of that influential
denomination. It meets annually and
it represents a large and unusually in
tellitrent membership. It has thirteen
Synods and sixty-nine Presbyteries
Its ministers are well educated. All
have to take a regular theological
course and to be scholars in Greek and
Hebrew. Many ot its ministers are
eminent for learnings for ability, for
mental power, for eloquence. A Church
that numbers amonr its clenzv
. j t
such ' men as Drs. Reade, Hoge, B.
M. Smith, Preston, Moore, Miller,
Giraudeau, Palmer, Dabney, J. R. Wil
son, and fifty others of marked ability,
who could be named, is compelled to be
a great power for usefulness, tor mould
ing public opinion, and for up-building
the Kingdom of Christ on earth.
The General Assembly was organized
in 1861, the war necessitating such a
course. It began with hfty-fave minis
ters and now it has about one thousand
ministers, two thousand one hundred
and thirty-five thousand communicants
There are now living thirty-eight of
those who were?- at the organization.
Rev. Dr. Wilson was of the number.
During the past year it raised $27-,
500 for sustentatioii;;.for evangelistic
work, $19,043; for invalid fund $10-,
797 ; for colored evangelistic work
$1,312. Sixteen colored ministers and
seminary students were aided. During
the year 44 church buildings and 8
manses were erected. Foreign mis
sions receipts were $73,170.27. There
are 54 missionaries, 45 native helpers,
with 1,610 communicants. For publi
cation cause $6,861.07 was raised.
Bonds redeemed $8,350. Donations
$1,889.69.
Probably Dr. Wood rows case will be
the most exciting event of the session.
H is to be iried for supposed view9
a:)on evolution that militate against
th. teaching of the Word of God.

Incident at a Golden Wedding.
St. Paul' Pioneer Preu.
A touching little incident occurred at
the Van Cleve golden wedding recently.
One of the gifts to the bride of fifty
years was a very pretty but old-fashioned
lady's gold watch, and it was ob
served that upon none of the presents
did the General arid his wife look with
fonder eyes than upon this. The story
leaked out that this was the very watch
which nearly fifty years ..'ago, Lieut.
Van Cleve had presented to his bride.
In the "tight times" which followed it
was found necessary to dispose of the
watch for "ready money" which was
then a scarce article. And so the
watch was sold. The purchaser had
always sacredly preserved it, and was
ible consequently, at the golden wed
ding, to make the most delightful gift
of the day.
The. M . General Conference.
THE ELECTION OF THE FOUR NEW BI8HOP8.
At Richmond Tuesday the election of
bishops was held. '1 lie secretary ot the

Lee's Reputation.
Mr. Chapin. of Richmond, Va., says :
Mr. Tom Ai friend told me that shortly
alter the war he bore a proposition to Gen.
Lee from an insurance company of New
York, offering him $20,1'00 a year it he
would allow the uae ot his name as Southern
manager. Gen. Lie declined, saying that
he eouid not consent to take any money
he did not earn. He added that it his
reputation was what they wished to buy
that it did not belong to him, but to his peo
ple jto the soldiers who had earned it on
the battle tieids ot Virginia."
About the Bride's Clothes.
The President is under suspicion at Buf
falo, New York. Some women in his town
have held a meeting and passed resolutions
in which they complain that Miss Folsom
should buy her wedding outfit in Europe,
and declare that il the bride's outfit is
made in Paris instead of Buffalo they will
defeat Iris nomination in 1838. There now!
Mr. Cleveland would do well to surrender
at once. It is astonishing how much ot
stupidity and spirit ot intermeiiding there
is in the world.
It Should be Sone.
Trinity College ought to be endowed
generously. It is not creditable to the
intelligence and liberality of the Methodists
ot North Carolina that this institution has
not been placed upon a broad foundation.
They are always talking of endowment and
it ends intalk. The Presbyterians have
endowed Davidson and thu Baptists have
endowed Wake Forest quite liberally, and
propose even greater things. The Metho
dists laymen should wake up. Wilmington

Rubinstein and the Eoses.
Pari Letter to the London World.
The offering of the Russian girls to
Rubinstein was a large and very hand
some wreath, while that of the Ameri
can girls was a beautiful basket of
rases with ribbons of the national col
ors attached to the handle. But the
gracious and kindly courtesy of the
great Italian composer Verdi was not
imitated Ay the German pianist.
"Flowers,' quoth Rubinstein, "are all

he vouchsafed to take of either wreath
or basket.

Mr. M. Donnelly, of Martinsburg,
West Va., has purchased a tract of
farming land near Charlotte, N. C, and
is haviug a house erected preparatory
to moving South this fall. He un
derstands farming and is highly pleased
with our State.
Mr. E. M. Jewett, of n200 Main St.,
Buffalo, N. Y., writes Commissioner
Patrick that he is very much interest
ed in the Western section and would
be glad to correspond with persons
having lands for sale. He contem
plates visiting North Carolina during
the coming summer.
Mr. T. H. Smith, of Frederick City,
Ind., is a practical fruit canner and
would like to engage in the business
in N orth Carolina, if he could secure a
party willing to go in with him. He
thinks a factory convenient to fruit
would be a big thing for the parties
interested and also add to the general
welfare of our State
Mr. J. C. Donovan, of Rawlew, Mass.,
a lawyer, wishes to know if a young
lawyer could do well in our State.

Regent Fitch on Journalism.
Ithaca, May 21. Hon. Chas. E. Fitch,
editor of the Rochester Democrat, has
closed his course of lectures "to the stu
dents of Cornell University. One of his
subjects was "Journalism as a profes
sion.1' Mr. Fitch thought that Cornell
ought to confer a degree in journalism.
The profession demands singular conse
cration, special fitness, severe training
and generous culture. Tried by the
range of its acquirements it surpasses all
other professions. Journalism, like Jor
dan, is a hard road to travel. Persistent
plodding and hard work are required of
every one connected with a newspaper,
from the editor to the latest reporter.
The journalist of necessity is a man of
many antagonisms. What has been
printed wJU come up in judgment against
him. It has been estimated that the
average salary of newspaper men is $700,
as against $650 of a lawyer and $600 of a
minister. "It is because journalism,
rightly conceived, is one of the most no
ble of professions that I can confidently
ahd conscientiously recommend it to
you.'3

interests of the people of North Carolina;

her minerals and her water.-powers.

Dig Post-holes.
S. B. Kniuht, while digging a post-hole
near Winchester, Ky., recently, struck a
copper box about nine inches square with
an iron lock. Breaking off the lid, he
found it filled with gold and silver coin to
the amount of $1,23:1,75, which, it is
thought, was put there by a miser who
died in a neighboring hut long ago.

FARMERS
COME AND SEE
McJOR.UICK"S 188G Improved No. 2
IRON MOWER
Regarded as the most perfect one ever con
structed. It has many points of excellence
to commend it to the American Farmer.
Some of which are as follows:
Having enlarged wheels it has quite an
easy draft. The weight has been reduced
several hundred pounds.
A lead wheel in front of the shoe carries
the weight of the cutter bar and prevents
any. tendency to choke With loose grass.
The lead wheel forms a perfect protection
to the pitman and can be set higher or
lower, as may be required in bottom or
stony lands, where often a change from the
ordinary cut is very desirable.
Another important feature in this Mower
is that the cutting apparatus is kept in
strict line with the pitman, so that any
friction or binding is rendered impossible.
This is a weak point in most mowers, and
very often overlooked in purchasing,
though the defet t reveals itself by use.
It is provided with the same kind of
wooden pitman as described particularly
in tbj? remarks about the regular IRON
MOWER.
It is a Machine that will -tand the sever
est tests ami never disappoint the farmer
in its work, -It can be suddenly stopped
and as suddenly started again in the most
difficult places in A meadaw, without
backing up to clear the guards or give
speed to the knife.
THK DIsSY,
A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER
is designed especially for those who own
small farms. It is a center cut, one-wheeled
reaper, cutting five leet wide, having the
main wheel on a line with the small rain
wheel, the advantages ol which can be
seen ov tnc ease wiui which it cuu uc
backed or turned.
Bv the use of one lever, both ends of the
platform can be raised or lowered to any
desired height of cut, while another lever
tilts the cutting edge to the angle required
to pick up leaning or fallen grain. These
changes can be made by the driver in his
seat, "with the machine in motion.
There is no cog "earing in the maiu
wheel to gather dirt and straw, as the mo
tions of gearing, raking, a d tripping de
vices are all well timed and positive, en
abling the operator to size the buudies to
suit the grain, its whole operation will be
found simple, positive and reliable.

THE SKIN.
ITS DISEASES AND CUBE.
H
sir S
This class of troublesome complaint era-
braces a large list, some of which afflict
nearly every family in the land. Hereto
fore the 'treat ment of nearly all these dis
eases his been very unsatisfactory and
unsuccessful, and the people bave been
very much deceived by pretended remedies.
A majority are ennsed by an impure, viti
ated condition of the blood, and as most of
the blood remedies of the day require 50 to
100 bottles before you discover fhat they
will not f-ffect a cure, we offer B.B.B., which
makes positive cures by the use of onlv a
few bottles.
The most common of the skin diseases
which arc cured bv the use of B. B. B.. the
only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows.
r.cA ina, Old U leers, -Impetigo,
Abscesses,
Erysipelas, Dry Tetter,
Rinu orm, Carbuncles,
Seal d head, It eh in - Humors,
Pruritus, Blot tins.
Old Sorer, Herpes,
Pimples, Boils,
Itch, Splotches.
Beautiful Complexion.
is sought by the use of cosmetics and all
sorts of external applicants, sonic of them
being poisonous.
All females love to look pretty (which-
gentleman do not object to) and a smooth,
soft, clear complexion adds greatly to fe
male charms.
The ike of B. B. B. will purify vour blood.
will remove blotches, splotches and bumps
that appear upon the lace and neck, and
will time the pale cheek with the roseate
hues of pature. One or two bottles will
convince any one of its value. No family
should fail to keep B. B. B. in the house, as
mere is no tauuty medicine its tonal.
Rheumatism.
One author sa 8 : '-Rheumatism is due
to the treseiu'e in the blood of a vegetable
organism of definite character."
Another saxs : "It is due to the presence
of a pojsonn in the blood which of the
nature of a miasm."
The disease having its origin in the blood.
it is reasonable to suppose that it must be
cured by remedies directed to the blood.
A successful remedy must produce cer
tain changes in the composition of the
blood, fand when this has been accomplish
ed, alt pain, swelling and stillness ol the
joints subside.
This accounts for the reason why exter
1 applications fall to produce permanent
re iof.i
Biiti we now have the remedy which acts
like inagic in giving relief to all forma of
rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism
of tbej joints, muscles and heart. It also
cures syphilitic and mercurial pains and
rheumatism in an incredibly short time.
Theffhct cannot be denied that B. B. B.
(Bofajnic Blood Balm) has proven itself to
be the most speedy and wonderful remedy
for jijl forms of rheumatism ever before
knojm.. Those who were prostrated in bed
and could not get about, have been cured.
Men .With two cmtches,-and hobbling along
with -'stiffened and painful joints, withered
fleshj loss of sleep and appetite, are cured
by jibe use of B. B. B. Cast aside all other
remedies, use B. B. B. and ou a ill soon
have no use for crotchet".
Mfiny who read this will refuse to be
cured by the use of B. It. B , buttwe advise
all such to drop us a postal card for our
Book of Wonder, free, which is filled with
startling proof ot cures made here at-home.
It also-contains full infoimation about
blood and skin diseases, which everybody
should read.
