There is some trow ble in Ohio .grow ing out of the reforfaHast winter of the statute authorising separate schools for whites and blacks. Colored pupils desert their own schools and demand admission into those of the whites, hence friction and dissatisfaction. The frisky and wayward Riddleber- ger, feeling that he has been snubbed by his Republican Senatorial associates, threatens to give the majority trouble next winter by voting with the Demo crats and tying the Senate whenever it suits the whim of the erratic Vir ginian, which judging from his past course, will be quite often. Riddle- burger will be the pivotal power of the Senate, and he will make the most of his exceptional opportunity to keep the Republicans in a constant state of suspense. Charlotte Chronicle, Sept. 28. In the Charlotte market cotton seed are selling at 22 cents, when at the same time last year the price was about 10 cents. And this is the result of the Southern Cotton Oil Company com peting with the American Cotton Oil Trust Co. The Southern Cotton Oil Co. has built eight splendid mills within a few months, says the Manufacturer s Record, with an aggregate capacity of rorking up l,600,tons of seed per day a feat of Mill building unexcelled in this country. The competition with the American Co. is effective, and will redown to the interest of cotton raisers throughout the cotton country. It may startle our renders to know that a new Presidential ticket, and a wonderful cambination it is, too, link ing as it does two of the great names of the nation, has been launched in the Capital. And well may President Cleveland, as he realizes the strength of this "combine" quake in his boots, as he sees his vision of a second term vanish into thin air, for how does he dare to oppose the Presidential aspira- tious of those mighty men of renown, those eminent statesmen who will favorably compare with the fathers of the Republic Lincoln and Douglass !

The Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue is preparing a statement that will show to what extent the Government receipts would be decreased by a total repeal of the internal revenue taxes, and the result, so fur, is. interesting in one aspect, at least, as showing a de cided change in the bibulous tenden cies and inclinations of the citizens of the United States, it appears that as compared with the previous fiscal year there has been a great falling off in the manufacture of whisky the de creased taxation amounting to nearly three millions and three quarters the decline having been noticed for a num ber of years past. But, on the other hand, the manufacture of beer is so rapidly increasing that it may now be termed the national beverage, the a a al a increased taxation ot tne past year showing a gain of about two million and a half dollars over the preceding vear. At an early date the Com mis- sioner proposes to have an analytical test made of every brand of American beer, as it is alleged that many brewers use more alcohol in making their beer than the law allows hence it is thought the analysis will cause a sen sation. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue states it as jiis belief that the steadv decrease in the manufacture of distilled spirits is due to the rapid growth of temperance reform in this a country. There is a itrv bv the hands em- I ployed bv the Clifton Mills, S.C. Their demand as reported was very unreason- i .. i, j. i j able, practically assuming to determine who shall and who shall not be em- ployed in the mill.

He had not got out of sight material, with a slit near the top through which articles could be drop- , ped into it 0a turning it upside down, out dropped the lady s wallet, a pocket knife, a diamond ring, and a small watch. The lady fainted while this was going on, and persons present gave attention to her, and the thief took advantage of the momentary withdrawal of notice from himself , and hopped off and made his escape. Go it, Boys. A DANCIXQ MATCH BETWEEN ZEB VANCE AND SJON H. ROGERS. Maxwell Gorman in the Southern Home. Gen. J. M. Leach spends considerable of his time in Washington with his son, J. M. Leach, Jr., who is a chief of division in Sixth Auditor's office. The n l in r u : v ureuerui i ua j.uu ui i tui iiihueijit's and good stories as ever, and one which I heard him relate to a party of North Carolinians the other evening will bear repeating. Said he. in effect: "You know that Zeb Vance used to be a member of the National House before the war, and Sion Rogers rep resented the Raleigh district in Con gress. Well, some friends sent Frank Shober, of Salisbury, and me a case of very nue wine one aa .eo ana ion found it out somehow and they used to come around mighty often.

"Now nobodv had ever heard of Zeb Vance's virtues as a dancer before Every one knows that he doesn't in the least resemble a ballet girl. He ain't built right to dance, and I didn't believe he ever had any experience in that di rection before that night; but he stuck to his assertion. "Well Zeb kept repeating the state ment until finally bion says: kZeb, 1 don't count myself any great shakes as a practical exponent ot the terpsicho- rean art, but I allov that I can just dance the hind legs off of you.

ASTONISHIO LOW BATES A MANUFACTU RER'S DEPARTMENT RE UNION, &C, Ac. Secretary Nichols of the State Fair has received from Mr. Sol Haas, general pas senger agent of the associated railways, a letter with reference to railroad rates to the State Fair in which he says : "At a conference held on the 12th inst ., Line, it was concluded that (Seaboard Air-Line assenting) the rates be made one cent per mile for all distances over 60 miles; and under 50 miles to be scaled dotrn so that no rate shall be lower than 16c. for the round trip (from any point.) "I am im formed this morning that the Seaboard Lane have signified their wil lingness to make this reduction. I there fore notify you that rates will be issued on this basis, in order that you may make matter08811 advertisil,8 m These are the lowest rates ever before given for the fair or any other occasion in the State and will enable parties to come from the utmost limits of the State and return for less than $5.00. - Every- bodv can take advantage of such -an on- portunity and come to the largest gather- ing of people and the grandest exposition of the products, manufactures, resources, &c, of the State ever held within its borders. The State Farmers' Institute will be an attraction for the agriculturist. The Manufacturer's Department, in which will be shown cotton goods, woolen goods, tobacco, chewing and smoking, cabinet work, chairs, &c., specimens of iron work, book and newspaper, flour, meal and rice, fertilizers, mill stones, cotton seed oil, &c., from the leading factories in the State, will be a feature of great benefit to manufacturers themselves and also to the merchants who purchase such goods, professional men, and in fact everybody. r or people from other btates the great attraction will be the grand re-union of non-resident rsorth Carolinians. Several thousand invitations have been issued to "home folks" who have moved from here to other -States to attend the re-union, and hundreds of acceptances have al ready been received from as far west as Arkansas, from Mississippi and Texas; also from adjoing States and from some northern States. They are all coming. Everybody is coming and thev will not regret having done so. The following let- ter from the West which is reprinted shows the feeling of those who have moved away : Hot -Springs. Arlv, June 20, 1887. To the Editor of the Lending Paper, Bal eigh, N. C: Sir : I have just seen a pamphlet of the North Carolina State Pair .which takes place in Raleigh next October. Isow, Mr. liUitor, why can t vour good people aid in getting up a big excursion from the Western States to North Caro lina, so that we may all meet once more on this earth and have a general band- shaking and jollification? Everybody can meet everybody, and In a few days see more mends and acquaintances than they could by traveling the State for six months. Yes, hundreds are singing : "My heart feels sad and dreary Everywhere I roam, Still longing for Old North Carolina, And for the old folks at home." Dear Mr. Editor, by your kind aid the grand reunion can take place. Just put the ball in motion and it will roll itself, and I feel sure that you will do so. Knowing how many hearts you would gladden by getting us all together once more. I am, sir, most respectfully. John D. Hawkins Reavis. A Safe House to Sleep In. A lawyer of high reputation in the city of Philadelphia was traveling in house on a solitary plantation and ask m for shelter and hosoitu lit v for the nicht. t - . o. His request was granted. in the evening he thought he i V .a course of the observed something reserved in the master of the house which awakened his suspicions. He was at length con ducted to his chamber, which was nd joining the family-room. There he dwelt on the circumstances that had alarmed him till his excited imagitia- tion was filled with thoughts of nightly 111 WW " roooery ana assassination, tie pro- ceeded to barricade the room as well as he could. He fastened down the win- dows; against the doors he niled un fnKlo pWini ornrtrthincr fW wa m able in the room. While thus engaged, word3 uttered in a low voice causht his ear and increased his alarm. He placed hi3 ear at the key-hole. The man of the house was engaged in prav- er in iamily prayer. Among other n i a objects of intercession, he was praying for "the stranger whom the providence When he got through, our traveling friend arose from his stooping posture, Imagine the change in his feelings ! All his fears had vanished. Though no Christian himself, he knew that the prayers of Christians are like guardian angels to the abode in which they are offered up, and went to bed and slept soundly and sweetly, feeling that the house wnere Wod was teared and wor- 1 shipped was "a safe house to sleep in." TTTl a n nen a young man sus in tne par lor talking nonsense to his best girl t bat's capital. But when he has to ' stay in of evenings after tbev're mar - rieJ that's labor, How Buxmah Ruby A ta are Ruby earth is culled by the natives of Burtnnh "byun," ana is generally found at two different depths, the first layer at about four feet, and the second and richer one at twenty to thirty feet below the surface. It is generally ex tracted by a company of miners, ten or twelve in numbe. Pits are dug about eight feet square, lined with rough timber, and braced with four crosspieces at intervals. Water enters the pit on; sinking a short dis tance below the surface, and the prin cipal work and source of expense is keeping the mine free, from wafer. Upright posts are let into the ground at a short distance" from the mouth. and a fork is cut in the upper end of each. In this fork is balanced a lever. the pit, while the shorter aim a bucket weighted with stone to counterbalance the contents of the basket, which is connected, with the longer arm by n bamboo which reaches to the bottom of the pit. This con trivance forms a most efficient though simple means of raising both water and earth by manual labor. General ly six or eight of the levers overhang each pit in actual working, and pfob- ?bly the proportion of wateT buckets in constant use, to earth baskets 18 two to one. Three men at least are below, occupied in filling both basket J and buckets, they rise and fall incessantly it J , iV.t f ?ug 8 no" wncn lv exceed six daily. The ruby earth thus extracted is placed in a neap at the side of the pit, and on first expos ure, while wet, sparkles in the sun with myriads of small stones, brilliant in color, but not large enough, unfortu nately, to be of any value. When a sufficient quantity has been obtained it is washed in bamboo trays and handed over to the sorters, who, after carefully examining it and taking out any stones of value, pass it on again to a small colony of women and children, who generally surround every pit, and who again sort it slowly over in hopes of finding some smaller stones that may a . a have been missed by the men. it is a ludicrous sight to see two or three little children, who perhaps can scarce ly walk, sitting down before a heap of this washed earth and sorting away with most serious faces, as if they realized that their existence depended upon their exertions. No machinery is apparent in the whole district, thoueh it is stated that a pomp was brought f Mandslsy, but rf J , " it soon got choked and was thrown away as useless, probably because bo one understood how to work it. Mur rains Magazine. Wanamaker on Advertising. John Wanamaker, the great Phila delphia merchant, recently spoke as follows about advertising: UI never in my life used such a thing as a poster, dodger or hand bill. My plan for fifteen years has been to buy so much space in a newspaper and fill it up with what I wanted. I would not give an advertisement in a news paper of 400 circulation for 5,000 dodgers or posters. If I wanted to sell cheap jewelry or run s lottery scheme I might use posters.but I would not insult a decent reading public with handbills. The class of nmle who people read such thing are poor material to look to for support in mercantile affairs. I deal directly with the pub lisher. I say to him: 'How long will you let me run a column of matter through your paper for $100 or $600, as the case may be. I let him do too hgunng, and if 1 tbink he is not try ing to taike more than his share 1 gits a a aaa a t t a aside $d.UW; last year 1 laid aside and spent 94U.UUU. 1 have done better this I l it, year, and shall increase mat sum as the profits warrant it. owe my success Ba afla aft to the newspapers, and to them 1 snail freely give a certain profit of my yearly business. Payment of Mexican Pensions. It is a novel sensation to those who have waited long weary yean for justice from the government, that the tardy roAncrnitinn nf their arvipo hiu mm tn the Mexican veteran, or it has s I away to his needy widow. Now that th act is done and the-penaions granted, it strikes the mind as the most monstrous iustance of national ingratitude on record that the services of the men who gave to the United States its largest and most magnificent expansion, Texas, New Mexi co and California, should have been so long s'.ighted and so venomously ignored. Most of the men have gone down to the grave; the survivors in their old age welcome at last, when almost too late. the crumbs that fall to them from the crumbs fail here; a few o d soldiers sad three or four widows are cheered by this long-grudged testimony to a nation's duty.
