many men in Rowan, who, in their
own estimation, are competent to fill j
county offices? Shall we undertake, at
the jeopardy ot county affairs, to rotate
all these in? I repeat, "The office is a
public necessity," not a creature, born
for the accommodation of men in rota
tion, and to rotate good men out of
office is unwise. When wc rotate a
good man out, we may rotate a sorry
one in. Not every one who has the
oooAr la ruin will make an officer. Some
lack natural endowments and can nev
er attain to superiority as officials.
Some are wilfully, and others unavoid
ably unfit. Is it to be supposed wejean
rotate often, and not occasionally, get
an officer inferior to those with whom
nobody finds fault. Turn good officials
out, just to give somebody else a chance!
Let the trustees of our University turn
Dr. Battle off just to give somebody
else a chance. We would all call them
a '''pack uv phnls." The writers knows
different counties in which the public
work has been done so carelessly that
it is not to be depended upon. One in
stance: a paper, when called for, was
unregistered, and after long search, was
found among the waste of the office.
Another, when called for was unregis
tered and lost: anotner, the commission
ers had to appoint a committee to get
the public business as nearly right as
2ossiblc; another, the sheriff failed, the
bondsmen ponied up about 4"f6000.00;
another, (the sweetest of all) the sher
iff failed, the bondsmen appealed to
the Legislature, that gracious body
passed a special act for the relief of the
boudsmen, and the people lost the taxes
which had been collected. Do we need
any more? Can we not remember when
we had at least one officer who was not
loved as the brethren should love each
other?
But, maybe there are some disgrunt
led fbne Is it the loaves and fishes
for which we are democrats? Then
shame upon us. It is as impracticable
to try to give every one who thinks he is
prepared a chance. Rotation will in
crease the host of aspirants, and not
only that, it is best for individuals, as
well as more safe for the public that
good officers should be retained. B is
a good farmer. A is rotated in. This
raises the fire in B. A is retired and B
is rotated in. This raises the fire in C.
B is retired and C rotated &c, ad infini
tum. Now what benefit is it to these
men? They were all content and doing
well at private business lxjfore that ro

a taste of town life and tries to stick
well, stick it is, sure enough. A poor
man with a large family sticking in
town, and nothing to do. B goes back

TENURE OF OFFICE LAWS.
The reader is referred to our Wash
ington correspondent for Congressional
news, but hi addition to the following
will interest many of the readers of
this paper.
IN THE" SENATE?rjEO. 14.
, The Senate took up the bill repealing
the tenure of Office laws.
Edmunds opposed the bill. The law
had been in existence nearly 20 years.
Pres. Johnson (to restrain whom it
was enacted) obeyed it, although he
believed it unconstitutional, and ail his
successors had recognized its validity as
a guide -or restraint. This bill was
brought forward in apparent aid of
their friends on the other side, and to
relieve the President of difficulties and
embarrassments now attending remov
als and suspensions. It mi an n
vitation to him to make short work of
the whole civil service business, and to
expel from office, at once, all officers
who are within the purview of the
Statute.
Hoar advocated the passage of the
bill It had been reported from the
judiciary committee last session, but on
account of the controversy then exist
I ing with the President ou the saliiect
1 ng
of the offices, he had- not deemed it
wroper to ask the Senate to act upon it.
. m - . - - i
But as that (jnestion had .subsided, he
now deemed it proper to ask the Senate
to vote whether it would return to the
ancient policy of the Government to
the rule which. had existed from 1780
to 1807, and which, notwithstanding
the condition of the statute books, had
practically existed since the accession
to power of General Grant in March,
1869. President had recommended its
appeal so that he fHoar was acting
under pretty substantial Republican
authority in trying to get rid of this
legislation, n seemea to mm to ne to-
tntion, to be compelled to answer to !
that responsibility when its instru- J
raents were forced upon him against
his will, or in whom ne had no confi
dence. While expressing himself in
full sympathy with the principles of
civil service reform, he still declared
his convictions that the people of the
United States expected and demanded
that no man should be kept in executive
employment, who had no confidence of
the person responsible for the success
of these executive functions.
Executive session adjourned.
If there has ever been in the history
of this couutry a greater violation of
the rules of common decency, not to
say of good breeding, than the publica
tions in the press about Mrs. Cleveland
in the past month, the Chronicle has
neither seen nor read of it. It was
once a maxim "want of decency is the
want of sense." Mrs. Cleveland can
not walk to her conservatory to pluck
a flower, go to church, take a ride,
take her husband's arm-in short do
any every day thing, without the world
hearing of it through the papers. These
things are bad enough but might be
exeused. But there is no palliation or
excuse for the recent allusions to Mrs.
Cleveland of a nature of which the
public has no right to know or to speak.
She is a woman her home and home
interests ought to be as sacred and as
free from prying into or talking about
as those of any other Americau woman.
The papers criticize Mr. Cleveland be
cause he often rebukes them for the
character of the news they publish and
their reckless disregard of the private
rights of individuals and public officers.
There is no private citizen who would
submit to have the most delicate subjects
of home life paraded in the papers.
Why should a public officer be so treat
ed? It is true that it is a tax upon
greatness for public men to have all
their affairs publicly discussed, but it
would seem that it is asking too much
to expect a man to quietlv submit to
having
his wire s name bandied about
in
the papers, especial! v in delicate
family matters. There is, just here,
great need of reform. Raleigh Chron
icle. Well said, brother Chronicle, and we
hope the North Carolina press will
make a most obstinate exception to the
practice so denounced above.
All Wool Goods.
From the New York Star.
The prestige of the "all-wool" has
had a deeper signification, a wider in
fluence than can ever be generally
known or acknowledged. It is part of
the greater feeling, the finer feeling,
the subtle expansion of later times. It
requires better, more ca.eful treat
ment than mixed and stiffened fibers,
and it produces more harmonious rela
tions between its wearers and the out
side world. It falls softly into folds;
it does not rustle or irritate; it acts
soothingly upon the nerves and upon
sense of those with whom it comes in con
tact; it does not startle the currents in
mind or atmosphere. This influence i3 all
the more inportant in these days of in
cessant movement, excitement and vi
bration. It is restful and tranquilizing
to soul and body. This growth of the
manufacturing interest in wool in this
country has been so rapid that the
figures can hardly be believed. The
first woolen factory was established in
a small village in Massachusetts about
the beginning of the present century.

N. Y., and which turned out the unpre
cedented quantity of twenty-five yards
of cloth per day. Now not one mill,
but hundreds, turn out as many thou
sands. In fact, though we do not as
yet produce the finest dress materials,
our manufacturers furnish two-thirds
of all the cloths, flannels and blankets
used in the United States, and there
are special kinds of "American" cloth
and blankets thai are largely exported.
Nothing finer than our Oregon and
California blankets can be found in
the world of their kind.
Mercury.
There are only four localities where
mercury or quicksilver can be found in
abundance.' These are California,
Austria, Almaden, in Spain, and Peru.
The mines in the last mentioned place
were discovered in a curious manner.
Cinnabar, the soft, red rock of which
quicksilver forma a part, when ground
very fine, makes a beautiful red paint.
The indians. used this to ornament
their bodies' on great occasions. This
caused the country where they lived to
be examined, and the cinnabar was
found. Th Romans used this hun
dreds of yeais ago in decorating their
images. It is of great value now, in
our times, and we call it vermilion
rri.a i.ua r-J. ii -jzJL u
The othei part of the rock, of which
we nave spoken abore is composed of
sulphur. The cinnabar is crushed and
exposed to heat, when the quicksilver,
in form of vapor, passes into a vessel
suitable for the nurnose. where ii ia .

liquid state, it is pure and fit for use.
It is then very largely employed in
separating metals froin the rock to
which they cling. The rocks are crush
ed fine, sifted, and washed until as
much of the gold and silver is removed
as possible. Then it is placed in a
bottle with the quicksilver, which seems
to absorb it at once, separating it
entirely from every particle of sand or
rock. If the metal to be cleaned is
gold, you will see a yellowish mass of a

Although mercury is so useful in many ? that direction when I heard the faint
ways, it is also a deadly poison, and
its vapor so dangerous that, in search
of it, many persons have lost their
lives. Not many years ago the mines
of Austria took fire, and 1,300 work
men were poisoned, many of then dy
ing in consequence; and the water
used to quench the flames pumped into
a river near by, caused all the fish in
the river to die. Mercury is carried
about in sheepskin bags and cast-iron
bottles. It is so heavy that an iron
stopper is screwed into each bottle.
Have an Object in View.
Young man, have a purpose in your
heart. Now what is your purpose in
life ? Is it that, under ail circumstances,
you will do wnat you think right? Or
is it to become rich at the expense of
principle and right? The first purpose
you shall have is to care for yourself.
Young men nowadays don't; and when
the body is wrecked, they hobble about
through life making everybody about
them miserable. Find out what diet
best agrees with you and adhere to it.
Daniel began by abstaining from wine.
This would be a good start for you,
young man. Next, take care of your
intellect. Study; if you have intellect
improve it. Many hard-worked men
have acquired profound education by be
ing studious during small intervals of
leisure. Get an hour a day if you can
get more.
Devote half of it to study of the
Bible, and divide remaining thirty
minutes, say, between astronomy,
botany and geology. Do this one year
and you will be surprised at what you
have accomplished. Then take care of
your manners. The manners of Ameri
cans are degenerating. There was a
time when a young man would not
offend a lady bv puffing cigar smoke
into her face. Now I see it done on the
street cars every day. Imitate the
sweetness and gentleness of Daniel.
Be affable, suave, courteous and kind.
Never utter a thoughtless word that
will pain. Start in life with the princi

will.". M. Schudder.
In a Panther's Den.
The lumber firm in which I was employed
desired to establish a camp near the head
waters of the Wolf river, Wisconsin, and I
was instructed to look over the ground and
report. I left Shewano in August in a j-kilE
taking with me provisions, lire-arms, and a
camping outfit, calculating to be gone about
twenty days. I was accompanied by my
dog, a large and savage blood-hound. With
my ax I cleared away a place for the build
ings, blazed the way to a spring, and cut
down a number of small pines to lie ready
for fire wood when winter and the men ar
rived. I had a small tent with me, plentv of
good provisions, and the first two or three
days and ni. Ids passed without a'arm.
One night as I sat smoking at the door of
my tent I heard the cry of a panther from
a jungle across the river. There was no
mistaking the sound. The man who has
ever listened to the long-drawn crcam of a
panther, will never confound it with tl.ecr ,
4f any other wild least. This feilow
screamed out three or four times, with an
interval of about five minute between the
screams, and then he was suddenly answer
ed by his mate, who was ou my side of the
stream, and apparently not more than
twenty rods away. I've had to do with
various wild beasts in my time and I never
weaken anything to weakeu a dog like the
yell of a panther. That dog of mine wouldn't
have hesitated a moment to attack a bear
or a wolf, but the yells of those panthers
made a coward ot him in no time. He
crawled into the tent and I conld neither
coax nor drive him out. However, I don't
blame him so very much, for every xc'A sent
the shivers climbing up my spine in a way
to make me ashamed of myself. 1 heaped
on the wood until I had a big fire, ami after
the beasts had called each other a few times
they censed screaming, and the woods were
as silent as a gravc-yard. In about an hour
the dog regained his courage and came out
of the tent and began snufiing around. By
and by some smalt animal rau across the
open ground in our front, and the dog ut
tered a bark and dashed after it. I beared
him rushing through the woods for two or
minutes, and was about to whistle him to
return when there was one loud, fieice yell
from one of the panther, a yelp of t rror
from the dog, and I knew that he was a
goner. I whistled and called, but I had
s en him for the last time.
I got but little sleep that night, feeling
that I was at the mercy of the beasts it they
had a mind to atta k. Directly after
breakfast I started1 but in the direction the
dog had taken, and after traveling about
250 feot I came Upon the spot where he met
his death. I think the panther had leaped
dowu on him from a trce and secured a
great advantage, for there had been no
struggle. The pine-cones were splashed
with blo.id and tufts of hair could be found
here and there where the dog Was dragged
off in the direction of the stream.
I had with mc a doubli-barrelcd shot gun
and a revolver, and I determined to revenge
l TiScr' death. I had net iced a heap
of ?rift- distance up the river,
antl on the toner side, and from this heap
a talk.n trce bridlfcf, tjje gtream when J
came to inspect this tree I fonnd mo e
blood and tufts of hair, it was plain that
dog's body had been carried across to some
den in thedrjlTf-wood. I crossed by the lojr
"C s . f iupim
of limbs, and trunks, and dead logs which
hd been left there on the low ground id
high water. It- looked like a good place
for a pnntUerVdun, and as I cnrefuHy moved
about I held the gun ready for a shot.
My idea was to descend the heap and
look for the opening of the den, bnt I de
scended in a manner entirely unlooked-for.
A limb suddenly jave way under my feet,
and I went crashing through the pile,
which at that spot contained a hollow as
big as an ordinary bedroom. Both barrels
ot the gun exploded as I fell, and the un
was lost from my grasp. I landed iu a
heap on the ground, surrounded by br ken
broaches, and enough daylight came down
to eunble mc to see what sort of a place I
had fallen into. It would be no creut job
squeals of kittens, and looked down to
fiud a pair of wee little panthers under my
feet. Scattered around were bones and
pieces of flesh to tell the fate of old Tiyer.
I was in a panther's den, and as I realized it
my heart jumped into my throat until it
seemed as if I could not get my breath. I
was thoroughly rattled and ready to run,
and for two or three minutes I made frantic
efforts to clamber out. As fast as I reached
a limb it broke under my weight and let
me down again, but I was still trying, when
I heard one of those panthers yell out. It
wasn't the cry of the previous night, but a
snarl of rage, and I knew I was about to be
attacked. Now, for what follows I have
received the credit, of being a very great
man, but I am ready to confess that I never
felt myself more of a coward. I was at
bay, and cowards will fight when driven to
the wall. I just bent over those cubs, drew
my revolver, and in about a minutes I
caught sight of a pnnthei'shead as she work
ed her way in through the drift. I took
quick aim and let her have it, and she did
n't kick a dozen times. I knew the other
one was aiound somewhere, and I didn't
have three minutes to wait. He came for
me by a different route, and he was almost
upon me before 1 fired the shot that finished
him.
The kittens were about two weeks old,
and fflter the old ones had been finished I
knocked the little oms ia the head. When
I returned to Shewao, I carried the paws to
prove that I had destroyed four panthers,
and, as I told you, I got the credit of being
a lion-hearted Nimrod. I deserved not
one word of praise. I simply had t he nerve
to use my revo'ver when pinched, and the
k i 1 i i n of the first beast by one onilet was
simply a lucky shot.
The season is coming around for
burning off tobacco plant beds, and we
are led to offer a few words on raising
tobacco next year. It is well kuowr,
to those who are informed on the mat
ter that the State cannot profitably
compete with Western planters on
common and medium who make, as ex
perience has proven, five pounds to our
one and at a cost proportionately less.
We have now come to the point that
we want to make this a planting com
munity. Curtail your crop one half,
and improve its quality and try to make
fine muhogony, if you cannot cure
lemon colored leaf. DanYAiry Repor
ted. The Ashe'ville Advance says: We arc in
formed that a Northern company is contem
plating the erection of paper mills on the
French Broad river near the city. Such an
enterprise with the facilities afford here,
would no doubt be a paying institution.
No section of the South offers better induce
ments for paper milis than Western Noitii

4Ts become due in 1891, forces upon reluc
tant Congressmen practical consideration of
the very troublesome question. That Mr.
Morrisons motion will prevail is no longer
doubtful. A change ol only seven votes it
necessary. More than that number of the
thirty two Democrats now living who fol
lowed Randall will refuse to accept the
same leadership now. Kor can the Repub
lican leaders hold their men on line to pre
vent what amounts to consideration of any
tariff measure. The time has goue by for
that.
The-Morrison bill then will come before
the House. It4s not the one he orininal'v
framed last winter. His committee altered
it in divers particulars and added to it the
lull of Mr. Hewitt simplifying the laws re
lating to the collection of the revenue. It
puts on the free list timbers and wood in
various forms, salt, all fish except ancho
vies and sardines preserved in oil, raw wools,
woolen rags, etc , flax, tow, hemp and sulv
stltutes therefor, hemp seed, jute butts, jute
sunn and sisal crass and- other veireta-
table substances not specially enumerated
or provided for. Changes are also proposed
in the cotton, flax, wool and sugar schedules,

The Whale's Breath.
Whales do not spout waten they
vapor or breath. When a whale spouts,
his "spout hole," as whalers call it, is
always above water. The enormous
volume of the whale's breath, expelled
suddenly into the different temperature
of the air. causes the white, bush-like
vapor to remain suspended for a mo
ment, like the steam from a locomotive.
The only time a whale spouts liqnid it
when he hsis been mortally pierced by
a lance, and then he spouts warm blood.
The sound of a whale s spouting is like
the roar of a locomotive blowing off
steam. -

Last year I suffered greatly from aColdt
which had settled on my Lungs. Mv
physician could do nothing for me, and,
my friends believed me to he in Constnnp

Cherry Pectoral. It gave immediate re
lief, and finally cured me. I have not
the least doubt that this medicine
SAVED MY LIFE.
I am now rnddy, healthy, and strong.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me of
Throat and Lung troubles, after I had
been seriously afflicted for three years.
The Pectoral healed the soreness of the
Lungs, 'cured the Cough, and restored my
general health. ---'Ralph Felt, Grafton, O.
Twenty years ago I was troubled with a
disease of the Lungs. Doctors afforded
no relief, and said that I could not live
many months. I commenced using Ayer'a
Cherry Pectoral, and, before 1 had finished
one bottle, found it was helping me. I
continued to take this medicine until a
cured was effected. I believe that Ayer'a
Cherry 1'ectorul saved my life, Saiuuel
