A North Carolina Story by a North Carolina Writer. BUNCOMBE COUNTY VISITED BY A STRAN GER CORN SHUCKING AND THE COM ICAL COURTSHIP OF JAKIE RICKSON. BY O'H. Miss Urela Spriggius waif "pretty and young and hearty too, rind her rosy cheeks and laughing brown eyes made many a boy's heart to go pit-a-pat, and there was not a boy iu all Buncombe county who would deny that. But alas! Poor girl," she was just a little deaf. If you do not know -all the woe contained in that announcement you may consider yourself but slightly ac quainted with this life's ills. Jakie Rickson had come into the neighborhood from a distant state to visit hi.s grandfather. Now his grand father was a neighbor of Squire Sprig gins and the Spriggius boys came over and invited him to a corn shuck ing to t -a: off the following Tues day. Jakie. old had a glimpse at church of brown-r ed Urelie so he thought he would ' ke to go to the corn shuck ing. But T esds y seemed a long time off. Jakie war young and he had a very eu rioiu feeing about his heart whenever he thought about Squire Spriggius" pretty daughter. Mondav evening he plucked up cour age kTask his grandpa for a horse and the old man, who was really very fond of the boy, said: "Wall boy, yer kin take ray nag, but it haint every young whipper-snapper gits a ride on her. W bar ye goin ?" Jakie blushed. He was young enough for that-vhe blushed and gave his ear alittle jerk and said: "Down the road a piece, gran'pa. It's a party evenin', en I thought I would like to try the nag's pace." fie was deviating from the path of truth, . It was a lovely evening and he was very fond of trying the pace of any nag he could mount. He soon had the herse saddled, then he went to the end of the piazza .and scrubbing both face and bands, "slick ed up" his hair, and drawing from his pocket a bright, blue necktie, somewhat the worse for its residing place, be put it on and mounted. The little nag, gentle enough for the old master, knew well enough when young bones were on her, and though Jakie held her in, until the , road turned, they were soon dashing J along. j "It's two miles to Sciuire Suriscnns1 ! j and the sun's an hour high. I don't i i, want ter go in. I'm iister goin' ter ride by thar accidentally on purpose, II !i ti i i -l r i ne saw ana mugnea aioua in ins glee. The-road lay in the valley of a creek and was as level as if the mountains did not lift their regal heads all around him.

Yes, there was the Squire, and and yes! There was Miss Urelie by ins suae I and Zeb and I Cling, the two Spriggins boj's at the gate. Of course the boys stopped un harnessing the mules, and of course Urelie pat down her knitting, and of course the Sqnire laid down his news px.pei.Aind so tey all saw Jak-i.t. -Hello!

Jakie J cast a most admiring and, acquiescent I "lance towards Urelie. to which she re sponded with another of those bewil- dering smiles and the boy was speech less tor a moment. I hen recovering; himself he gave the nag a jerk and sua: i "Well, a good moniin' to yer all, I'll see you all sivre yesterday evening'."' To which this hlnoderino- remark- Hip ' - - - ----- - - f-y - ...... - ...v- bovs responded by roars of luughter. They thought it wns a joke! All the next day he loafed about tne house and cast uneasy glances at the clock. " At l ist four o'clock came. He put on his Sunday coat and a reed cravat, gave his auburn hair a fresh oiling, blacked his boots end off he started. "I don't low ye" re goin fur work Jakie, but mostly for show? I "spo.e yer a' goin' to ?help the gals chiefly? Wall, yer aint home en chaps will take on arter the ijals w'en thev se voting. Go head my boy an' good luck go v. id ye. Jakie's heart beat high. All along the road as he whistled or sang, he saw parties on horse back and in wag ons bound for Sq lire Spriggius' corn shucking. When he reached the house the yard and porch presented a lively scene. He lost his bash fulness in his eagerness fo got near the admired Urelie. "Zeb," he said "I danno yer sister, ner none of these yer geyurls.'1 "Oh. never yer min', I'll gin ver a i l. j :.. .

"Now, 1 have to go home next week, 1 believe I love this girl, and I'm agoin to say so. Ef it is only short metre, I guess I kin cum back an' do it over, agin." So he plucked up courage and got a little closer to her and said: "Miss Urelie yer mighty puny."

Opposition to Conscription in New York in 1863. BRIEF SKETCH OF THE SANGUINAKY RESISTANCE TO THE DRAFT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE killed. I The difficulty in enforcing the draft in New York might have been fore- seen, indeed, it was plainly apprehend- etb l,lu 1C W:U3 ,,ot tnoHgnt advisable ' I m j 1 by the lederal authorities to material- b' :llter tlie regulations of conscription i'i putting the law in force in that city. Still, there can be no doubt that the vastly different conditions then existing in New York from those in inland towns of the State, or even other seaboard cities, formed the origi nai cause or tne trouble. JNew i oric had then a much larger population than any other city, and a much great- er proportion of foreigners among ijer inhabitants. These, naturally enough, a much had no sentiment of patriotism to aid them in submitting to the harsh con ditions of conscription. Further, there were, as there always .are in every large city, a great proportion or pour men " " whose families live from hand to month, and who nevor have nnv oro- vision made for future contingencies. To such families of course the forcible removal of their bread-winner meant starvation. To such an extent had ap- i j i nrehensions of this fate of their wives and children been aroused among the liihnrimr inpn of the eit.v psnpr hill v in those districts largelv 'inhabited bv foreigners, and no- doubt incited by . . .. those who opposed the draft for pohti- Jul reasons -that associations were formed to resist the law bv force.

The success of the rioters here added large numbers to tjieir ranks and in a few hours a great army, re-enforced bv all the roughs of the city, was trampling through the street, burning, destroying, plundering and murdering whatever resistance was offered them. Crowds of women were with th em, inciting their husbands to lawless deeds At nrst a detachment or marines were sent against them with rauskets and manic carirmges. 11 1 L - 1 When it was known j , i i ;ii f .1 i .. .re j. ii.

A tew ; hours later he issued another proclaim- ation, in which he declared the city in 1 a state of ins insurrection, and ordered the dispersal of the mob. These proclam ations, however, did but little good. General Wool, the head of the denart- n.ent of the East, called out all veteran volunteers, but tne re was so little time for organizing that, though large numbers responded, thev could not be used effectively. A small command of regular troops from Fort Lafayette did more effective service. The roit ' lasted three days, during which busi- 1 ness was entirely suspended. The draft was for the time given up, and the City Council passed a relief bill to pay 8300-commutat.ion or substitute money, for every drafted man of the poorer classes who had a famirv denendent on him. It was estimated that the num- I ber killed during the riots, or who died of injuries, was nearly 1,000 but this was probably an exaggerated estimate. The mortality statistics recorded an increase of 450 over the arerage week ly mortality of the vear. There was much destruction of property, and claims for damages caused the riots were brought before the county author- ities to the agregate of $2,500,000. Many, howe v. r, were disallowed by the ! examining committee, but $1,500,000 was finally paid. Chicago Inter-Ocean. ! Pearls of Thought. friendship is woven fast by inter woven benefits.

"Now, gents, putcher money down. 1 11 pay either way, under or over seven, and three times for the seven. Put cher money down. All down? Well, under seven wins." or, "its mv turn now an' rake it in." Pushing into this sabbath gathering you find the gentleman with the brassy face stands in front of a strip of oil cloth bearing a number of figures and lines stretched on a board resting on an inverted barrel. The "dealer" has his left hand full of small change, and in bis right rattles dice with a leather box. A boy of about twelve years of : ge stands on his left, and a great hulking fellow on his right. These are tbe two chief gamblers, though others now and then place a nickel or a dime on the board to await the turn of the dice. The little boy wins and the hulking fellow curses; then the boy loses and his opponent chuckles and boasts. . Again the boy changes his tactics and drops his nickel on the "7" time after time, only winning-very occasionally. His soiled little lingers indicate that lie is a boy who works six days a week. His hand trembles every time his fingers slip into his vest pocket. At last, however, he was "broke," as he said and applied to a bigger boy to "loan us a quarter, Billv," Billy refused, and the child gambler edged out and lit a cigarette with all the feigned coolness" of an exnerienced gamester. But his little lips were very white, and his hand shook. How much did you loose, bub?" he was asked. "Oh, only about sixty cents." "And vou haven't got any more?" "Naw." "Have to work for it?" Blank stare "Course." "Did you ever 'win?" "Say so. "Come out "bout four an' si arf ahead last year." "How old are you ? ' "Fif watcher von wanter know fur?" Then he walked off h Third avenue.

If they are s'abbed off of some passing planet or are fragments ot some explod ed world, it is strange that they are all so much alike in character and com position.

Ask Car 2S:ly 9 Particular Bridegrooms. V QCEER QUESTIONS WHICH INTERVENE BEFORE THE KNOT IS TIED. A clergyman, the yicar of Pitsmoor, has been speaking on the modes of marriage in and near Sheffield. He states that people are there married in batches; that the bridegroom almost invariably gets the ring too small, and have at times to lick the lady's delicate little finger to induce the stubborn ring to move on. It seems to be no uncommon thing to find that the ring is the dufiiculty through its presence or absence. "Then again," says the vicar, "when they come to that important part of the marriage service where the minister asks the man if he will have this woman to be his wedded wife, the man will not infrequently turn to the woman and say, 'Wilt tha1 black my boots?' and the womarr will invariably say, 4I will,1 and the man then rejoyia,, 'Kow tha'st said it,' and he holds her to her word. Such are Yorkshire man ners." A reverend canon of the church relates that on one occasion it fell to his, lot to marry -his footman cook. The footman would to his persist .throughout tlie service in putting his finger to his forehead every time his master addressed him, in accordance with custom. The reverend gentleman remonstrated in an undertone, 'Don't touch your forehead, John, but say the words after me." Then, aloud, "Wilt thou take this woman?" etc. John bearing in mind the vicar's hint, re plied. "After you, sir," and the assem bled friends burst into laughter. Man chester Courier. Not Honored at Home. From "Village Types," by Julian HaW' thome, in Ihe American Magazine. As water seeks its level, so does the village instinctively tend to maintain a certain moral and intellectual unifor mity. The man of exceptional ability is sooner or later expelled by the body politic, lie is mistrusted, disliked, an finally ostracized. Psor is he him slow to take the hint to depar perceives that there is nothing to uo at nome. lie iorges about for awhile, trying this and effecting only mischief: every surmises an evil destiny for him; puts on his hat and departs, in des pair or anger; and presently the world, recognizes and celebrates his genius,. But his native village never swells then chorus of praise. They have known: him from a baby, he cannot humbug them! Did he not steal apples from Farmer Hoyt's orchard ? Was lie not the slowest hand at a spelling-match in school? Did he not jilt Mary Jane after everybody had agreed that he would marry her? Go to, thenl Can such a fellow as that invent a naviga ble air-ship, or write a classic book, or create a successful railroad? He is only Jack Smith, after all is said and done, and, among those who know him, will always have a Jack Smith reputa tion. Cost of Store Signs. A New York merchant complains that his brass signs cost him a mint of money. He says: "There is a sign that cost me over $500. It is not more than two feet square, and is made of sheet metal less than half an inch thick, yet it is the most expensive ap pointment about my entire place. It is a thing of beauty. In fact, it is only of use so long as it is kept bright. The variations of our climate are so great that it takes persistent and pa tient burnishing to keep the sign in any sort of conditition, and to that end I let the job out to a man who makes a business, of polishing just such doorside ornaments. The sign cost me originally. I believe, 33, aud in the ten years I have had it I have spaid about a dollar a week to have it kept bright.
