When dimly shadows fall on sea and land,
When breezes whisper of the day gone by,

Thy life shall also have its evening song.

A Remarkable Electrical Disturbance
at Wilmington.
It was discovered here Thursday, in
making experiments with a compass
and gidviuiometer, that every piece of
iron connected with the ground, such
as lamp posts, iron fronts of buildings
and window shutters, deflected the
needle of the compass to a very great
degree, indicating a strong electrical
current in the earth. It was further
reported Thursday night that the offi
cers of the cutter noticed the same
deflection of the needle the north pole
of the eompass pointing to the east.

The Campaign Opened.
HENDERSON AND LONG OPENS THE CAN
VASS WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
Tuesday afternoon, during the re
cess of court, Hon. Jno. S. Henderson,
present incumbent and Democratic
candidate for re-election to congress,
and Mr. B. F. Long, Democratic can
didate for solicitor, addressed a court
house full of people on the political
situation. Mr. Long spoke first. He
referred to the remarkable fact that
here there two Democratic candidates
for important offices, with no opposi
tion and na probability of any, where
a few years ago, the Republican party
controlled the State. He swhowea how
the State had been redeemed bv the
Democratic party, from Republican
misrule, and how it had prospered
nndpr Democratic administration. Re-H
ferrine to the qu trrel at present exist-
Hng among the Republican leaders, he
showed how the party is practically
disorganized and disbanded. His speech
was well reeeieved, and was listened to
with good attention from first to last.
Mr. Henderson said that he was not
present to arraign the Republican
party, (as we are now living under a
Democratic administration,) but to
defend President Cleveland's adminis
tration if it needs any defence. He
said that Congress has been charged
with doinjr nothing: but in fact it had
ficcomplished as much good legislation
as its predecessor or tne congress Deiore
it. It had restored to the public domain

to railroiids; but forfeited to the Gov-

certificates. The Democratic House
had passed several important measures
which were defeated in the Senate. The
appropriations were larger than for last
year on account of the increase in the
number of pensions, and by reason of
deficiences in previous appropriations.
Republican opposition, he said prevent
ed reforms m the internal revenue
laws. There are some measures of
importance which he hopes will pass at
the next session; including his bill to
ameliorate some of the hardships of the
system. He said that the House was
entitled to credit for preventing the
passage of several Republican big jobs.
He was cut short in the midst of his
remarks by the ringing of the bell for

Continued Trembling.
People in Wilmington who have not
been in a situation to feel the slightest
shocks do not know how long and
continuous they have been. The first
one was felt on Friday 27th of August.
The 28th at about a quarter to 5 A. M.
there was quite a sharp shake up.
Since the great shocks of last Tuesday
there have been a great many shakes.
In fact they amount to forty or fifty.
On Saturday night there were five well
defined, unmistakable shocks. On
Saturday night there was one violent
enough to awaken people in sound
sleep.
There is one feature of the earth's
shakes and tremors that deserves to be
specially mentioned. For a full hour
for several nights there has been a
constant tremble of the earth. Satur
day night thisJasted for probably an
hour or longer. On Saturday night
two neighbors of the writer were
standing at Orrell's livery stable when
the shock occurred. Some time after
one put his hand on the stable and
discovered that it was tremulous. He
called his friend's attention to it and
putting his hand on it he found it was
so. In several dwellings in that part
of the town the lone continued vibra
tion have been noticed for several
nights. The tremor is unmistakable.
The ocean breakers were very loud
Sunday night after the shock. We
never heard them so distinctly but once
before. Wil. Star.
Flee to the Mountain.?.
Joaquin Miller in the Chicag Times.
Get out of the cities and stay out of
the cities. The cities of the United
States are too big entirely. I mean to
say that our population m the cities is
fearfully disproportioned to our popu
lation in the country.
- But I have neither space nor dispo
sition to debate or cry out against this
cowardly disposition to hide away in
the commercial pork-packing cities of
America. But 1 will say this of New
York, a city I know fairly well from
some years of residence there: I never
saw such an ignorant people on earth
as the people of New York. Yes, they
read. But what do they read? The
papers. And the papers they read are
the New York papers. They simply
read of themselves their own sins,
their own follies, their own weary and
tireless round and repetitions of crimes,
set and served as a breakfast dish by
the brilliant men of the pens.
Get out of that place and stay out of
it. Get out of all such places. And
decide first this: That no man has any
right to stay in a city unless he is
bound by his duties to stay there.
Th mean and selfish desire to stay
in a city for pleasure is about as low
a desire as I can think of. Indeed the
selfish pursuit of pleasure anywhere,
or of any kind, merely for pleasure's
ske, is unworthy of any m.im The
pursuit of pleasure is a woman's pur
suit; and a very weak order of wo
men at that. ,
r . GET INTO THBCOUNTRY,
into the lifted hills if you can. It is
only a little distance to the glorious
green and viue-cla4 hills of the Caroli
nas. Send some of your number down
there to see those fruitful and health
ful hills, and my Word for it you will
not willingly spend all your life inside
the line of folly Wjhich makes up life
in a great city. Get! out of those places
with your children.! No English gen
tlemen who can afltard it will leave his
children to the follies and the sins of a
city. No wise man will, of whatever
land. And so it is with a warm heart.
I should like to respond to this cry
which appeals to me from the cities for
homes and information about homes in
the west.
Frankly, then, 1 would say go first
down into the pleasant mountains of
the Carolinas first, because that is close
by. Get a. bit of land there if you like
it Get it now. It will never be cheaper
than it is now. Next year it may oe
double its present price. At least, in
quire there rather than of me. Do
you know that nearly all our grapes
in the eastern states, as well as else
where, came from the Carol inas long
ago? Do you know that the medicinal
herbs of the Carolinas took the world's
prize in Paris? Do you know that
these sitent and voiceless states have
given the world the only new gem
that has been named since Christ was
born? Go down and look at these
states. They are close by, and no wild
beast or wild man will dispute your
Dath. Go to Cherokee county
You
will find cold there. You will find
plenty of Cherokee Indians there still.
I have seen at one time at icai twenty
free-born daughters of these brave
people standing in the water to the
knees washing for gold. Go down there

A Night of Terror.
Wednesday night, September 1st,
was the time appointed for the upris
ing among the Richmond county ne
groes, it was generally believed, and a
great many of the white people were
really looking for the uprising. The
negroes, on the other hand, had heard
that a white army, five thousand
strong, were camping in Wadesboro,
ready to swoop down upon them at
any hour and exterminate the last one
of them.
When the earthquake shock was felt
Tuesday night, the whites thought it
was the negroes after them, and the
negroes: thought the rumbling was the
tramp of the white army's deadly
footsteps. In less than twenty min
utes, fully one hundred white people,
of all ages, classes and conditions, had
assembled at the residence of Col.
John P. Little, near Mangum. The
negroes, in terror, fled in every direc
tion, clinging piteously to their white
friends, and praying to be saved from
the terrible white army. One darkey,
on the premises of Mr. J. D. Pember
ton, who prides himself on his bravery,
when he heard the noise, grabbed his
gun and, going to the door, fired out
into the dark. Louder and louder grew
the noise, more and more furious grew
the shaking. Dropping his gun the
darkey fled from the house crying "O,
Lord! Oh, Lord: Please don t shoot;
I'll give up; I'll give up! Oh, Lordy,
Fse so skeared."
The whites soon discovered their
error, but the negroes were confronted
with a great terror, when they found
no army was after them. They iraag
inged that the Lord had sent a special
judgment upon them and let the devil
loose right in their midst. They began
to pray, and now you can hardly find
a darkey in all that country who has
not sot
religion. Wadesboro Intelli-

Everyone should grow sunflowers.
They grow upon any soil and are val
uable in many ways. Feed in moder
ate quantity to horses and poultry.
The oil extracted from the seed is ex
cellent for burning in lamps, or the
manufacture of soaps. The green leaves
dried and powdered, make excellent
fodder for milch cows when mixed
with bran. The woody portions make
excellent fuel, the ash making valua-
; ble potash. Plant them around the
home and they absorb malarial poison.
Hy all means, plant some sunflowers.

has named it, is composed entirely of
iron and steel, except the small triang
ular platform at the top, on which
those who work it will stand. The
wheels, which are eight feet and a half
in diameter, are of steel, and are placed
at the points of a triangle, each side of
which is twenty-four feet. This tri
angle narrows to six feet at the top.
The frame is a skeleton, the iron being
so arranged as to"prescnt as little resist
ence to the wind suid waves as possible.
The inventor expects the roughest
seas to bread through it without doing
the least damage to the machine.
THE MACHINE DESCRIBED.
The motive power is by the working
of two levers at the top platfor.
These levers each have two steel rods
which lead down to the front wheels
of the trycicle, the tires of which are
notched. A shoe on the end of each
steel rod catches in these notches and
propels the machine by the moving up
and down of the levers. The rods are
so placed 01 the lever that while one is (
goiug down for a fresh grip the
otner !
is pulling upward. By this means the
motion is continuous and the rate at
which two men are expected to be able
to move it through the water is three
miles an hour, as fast as the average
gait of walking. Third or hind wheel
acts like a castor and swinging on a
pivot follows the leading wheels of the
trycicle, which is steered by the levers.
Very few vessels are wrecked in
twenty or more feet of water, and if
the "sea wagon" operates, as its maker
expects it to, it may be run out to any
stranded vessel. A ladder arranged
so as to be extended from the top is
laced on one side of the vehicle, and
iy this not only will the crew of the
machine mount to the railed platform,
but crews of wrecked vessels may do
the same and be wheeled to dry lanr1.
Six men could thus be carried at a
time.
The Charlotte Observer in its zeal
for news, overdid the business hi its
report of the cave-in in Swannan a
tunnel. The Observer has covered
grain of truth with a great deal of chat?,
and done it in a style to destroy the
character of the item for news, but to
give it much that is calculated to alarm
the traveling public, thus doing the
public, the road, and this section harm.
We are very sure this was not the
purpose of the Observed; but it is the
effect of such statements, if not alto
gether true. There Was a delay by a
slide, but not so serious as the Observer
reports, and all, we are informed, is
right and safe now. Aheville Citizen.
Prince Alexander of Bulgaria was

A popular uprising of his subjects hae

BLOOD AND MONEY.
.
The blood of man has muchto do in
shaping his actions (hiring his pilgrimage
through this troublesome world, rejrartl less
of the amout of present or expectant
money in pocket or stored away in bank, .
It is a conceded fact that c appear as our
blood makes us, und, the purer .the blood, jl
the happier, healthier, prettier and -wider
we are; hence the oft repeated interroga
tory, 4 how is your blood?" With pure
streams of life-giving fluid coursing
through our veins, bounding through our
hearts and ploughing through our physical
frames, our morals become better, ,our
constitution stronger, our ineellectual
fee ul ties more acute and grander,and men,
women and children happier, healthier and
more lovely.

several months with an ugly form ot
