All of those i ap have witjien p irtial or 'completel pjistories i of the State refer to the exploits of this des- Dorado. He was a" .reality, and not a myth, and it is probabilie that the bid fa;ry tale of Black Berd had its origin in the Black Beard ofi the North Caro lina !coast, as it is known that Teach had thirteen wives, hejlhaving married his la'st in North Carolina. , The best and most complete account of the piratical exploits of Edward Teach Thache, as it is;! written in the earlier record j of the province is found in Hawk's' History of North Carolina. He was born in Bristol, England, arid his first appearance ou the scene was about the year 1700. ji . He served first in ai privateer fitted oat in Jam lica, during the war of the English with Franco jund Spain, where l he distinguished himself by his daring courage, in louo lie? turnea pirace m connection witn one Hornsgold and cruised betwtea the. ji island of New Providinceiand the btineut. Hav ing captured a sloop Hornsgold gave him command of the; prize aud soon after he fell in withHa large French Gaineamm, Bji;i1 for AI tr tinique which he captured. j He armed her with 40 guns and transferred to her his najr, invins her the sname of Qaeeu Ann's lisveny-e. Dr.iHawks fur.iishes us with the following accouut of Teach's exploits and 4f the close of his sanguinary career: j His fl ig . Was hoisted on board of a ship of 40 guns, a vessel which, with her armament and stores he could carry into no harbor on the coast but that o Beaufort, anil he had a crew of 100 men. His qliadron consisted of six vessels; Vane, Bonnet and War ley were his chief "captains.-" In the month of May 1 71 Sj Teach, cruisinju off the bar of Charleston captured! a ship having on board;! as a passenger aamuel VV rajrST. one of the council t;i boutn Carolina, tie tlemau of S0,000 in robbed t4iis gen specie and then impuaeniiy sent iourjot nis men init; Charleston with a ipessagi to Gov. Johnson, demanding a chest of medi cine and accompaniedi with the assur ance that should it jnot be sent, he should behead Mr. Vragg and all of the other passengers. 1 To save their lives the 'enet was serit. After amassing a large amount of fl under, he returned to North Caro ina, determined to disperse his follow lainy. His first step was to go to th ' ens and live on the fruits of his vil honse of Governor Eden, with tweenfy of his men, and take Advantage oi the King's proclamttion of pardon. This he did and obtained): the Governor's certificate. A court 6f adniinury soon after sat at Bath, wfien Teach, who never held a conimfesion nor took a lawful prize, with consummate impu dence procured the condemnation of a sloop which he or sode of his followers had piratically Liken at sea and sent in. He now sat down on Hand to riot in his ill-gotten weath, dnd for the thir teenth time married k wife a voting woman who probably was not very inquisitive as to how many of her pre decessors wrere living. Restless and 1 A 1 L I" i 1? I : . Z M roving in disposition, however, he could not long remain) on shore, and when tired of dissipation on land, he resolved to diversify His pleasure by: a little more robbery anjd murder at sea. He accordingly went on a cruise and soon returned with bil plunder in the shape of $i French ship, laden with a i 4 "i ' valuable cargo or sngar ana coca. The lie which he tohj, and to which four of his men swor'e, was so goss thaif it seems scarcely icreditable that it could have b3en listened to for a mo- Ipient. He.stated thai he had found a vessel at sea, abandoned by a crew, though,- vh.2ii brought in she bare no marks of injury from (tempests, or oth erwise, necessitating! such abandon ment. He libelled lier, howeveiv in fhe court of admirably, which on the oath o the four men alluded to ad judged her to be a; lawful prize to thy captors. The ship on the ground that she was uneaworjthy) was burned. After tha condjjuuatiOn of thje Frencn ship and carg, Te .ch rem uit ed in Painlnif rivfr, grading with tli? planters, and witli!oher vesiels that cami in jxchangihgihis share of the plunder for; such-., commodities, as 'lie needed and evincing! in - his traffic, a tl want of hone.4fv.

Captain Ellis Brajhd jvas the naval officer comni indingj ini jihe waters of .Virginia; and he; acting in concert Maynard sailed front the' James river Pdmlico river. It had been the effert to keep M.iynari's Ixneiition a secret and take the piratd by surprise, but Teach had discovered it: and was pre pared to defend himself,! with his crew of twenty-five de;ptraddes. As May nard came vvithifrgun shot, he receiv ed Teach's fire, so that the engagement coaimsuced , on" his side. Maynard then stood directly for his vessel, but untbrtunitely grounded) near enough fvr teach to hail him, and with horrid ' imprecations, to let him kn w that he. would neither give Jnorj take quarters. The fight thus beeadie one of predeter mined extermination, arid was desper ate oa bo h sides. jByjone broadside Maynard loss twenty nien, when he promptly resolved that the contest should be finished; hand to hand at close quarters. To effect this, he re sorted to the stratagem of sending his men below, with instruction to be ready to-appear onf the first, signal, prepared for clos? quarters. -4s be anticipated, Teach, perceiving his deck clear, ordered his crejw t6 board. Tiie moment they touthetl His deck, M iy n ird called his meji and then the slaughter commence!. The two coram infers made for each other, and discharged their pistols with out effect; then thevi drew their djrks. and alike between officers and men on both sides, the blovs df death were dealt .with fearful rjipid'ity on a deck soon made slippery with blood. At list Teach fell, exhausted with the wounds ha had received. Of the seventeen pirates whb had boarded the Allies i r vessel leachl wif'n nine others other t were killed outright, and the eight were so wounded they b?gged for and received mercy.) Maynard then immediately attacked Teach, vessels, containing the residue pi the pirates who had remained on board of her. The officer in command had ordered a negro, who with a jtire brand stood ready to apply it to the magazine and blow the vessel up the j moment she was boarded. Oaej broadside was all that she discharged, in returning which, the commander of the pirates would appear to have beep killed, and the crew yielded; though! it was with diffi culty the negro w.t prevented from blow.ng up the veslel,: Jeven after he knew that he who ordered it was dead. Teach was now beyond the reach of human punishinent;)he had gone to a more fearful tribunal jthiin that of most men. Maynard caused his head to be severed from his body, and hang ing it at the end of iis bowsprit, sailed up to the town of j Uath, where he lande I his men and rem i led some littlefme for their! refresh mer.t and recovery. He then proceeded to his station in Virginia, jtaking with him his pirate prisoners and still carrying, in advance as before the! head of their brave. but' villainous leader hang'ng at his bowsprit. A court of admirality there soon disposed pf them, and thir teen of them followed their chief to the judgment seat of eternity. Wil mington Jierietc. j Iniuctioa Train; leb-jraphy. The practical value of the system of telegraphy, by which messages' can be sent from moving trains was well illus trate.;! by its workings oil the Lehigh Valley railroad during the reeent great snow storm.

Kt Thf Rise and Fall of Taxs3. . A nist iqggesti ve perhapi -,- the most suggestive pirt ofnhe speech of Mr, Mills is that iiiAvhich be touches on the rise and faUsiilce 1800, of 'our Federal taxes. ' Inthe senlebf taxation and nhvsi- cal pro-peritt 1800 was our halcyon year. it w;s a better year than 1830, when th'e Federal Government was not only out! of debt, but distributed 37 1-2 millions! among the -States, obtained largely by pf-odigious 8;le3 cf public lands better, because in 1830 there was a rejil estate and 4-r.ig-baby" bub ble whieli wts net in 1860. fhe peri od between 1840 and 1800 was a Dem ocratic era of.relatively small taxation. e uu xronaucceti in tnat era a suc cessful foreilrh war, and in 1800 had a Federal jclebti of only 04 1-2 millions, and hadl a Federal tax of only 53 mil lions, al levied on imports. . Lust year our FedferaUebt w;us 1.700 3-4 millions and our federal income, chiefly from taxes, was the enormous sum of nearly on i-anunon. unr population in 1800 was 31 1-2 millions. In 1888 it f is prooajbly hearl.v twice as large. Our . v . ' reuerai taxn lauy was less than two dollars a head; now it is over three time3 as; much! i When, iti 1801, a sectional war burst uon us, we hurriedly began to increase! taxbs in a way which was the perfection op unwisdom; and in 1806, when tHe wir had closed, we besran to think of reducing the taxes, and soon began th reduce with as little wisdom as we hud increased them. The hit ting at a Donnybrook fair was as reck less andl unscientific as was the impo sition of taxes from 1860 to 1803, and as has heenf the taking off - of taxes since lSpJ. ! The imposition of taxes uuiaiitiajted- in mm. wl en the tota Federal receipts were 520 millions (ex cluding jloaib), of Which 309 millions came frj)m internal taxis, 17D millions from tuscoiu taxes, and ne rly 2 mil lions frdui blirect taxes.

Njothijngj is to b?. gained now by an angry arrangement of motives; but yet the iactjisjtjiat, from 1861 to 1865, the manufacturing interests exploited the tax fegejilajtfon of the war period to !enefit jtdimselves, and have, since 1866, exjpljnted tlte reduction of tax ation inU&S similar way. It was the surpjus imd; the surplus idohe, which has jcoihplelled tax reduction since 1S60, as it is (he surplus, and only the whicl? poshes reduction Tariff 'reformers would be j lis aainsithe protected surpjus, to-lay. tniuutent beneficii ries were it not lor the surplus.

It is true that much' time, paper and i' printer's ink is wasted bv w K.,f nevertheless it is a fact. "But to do this, of course, reouires th.im. ployment of the most ran-d nnd m. rieced stenographers. Five of thesi i i .. are empioyea upon the tloor ! of the House, simply to take down the speeches, debates, etc. The chief of t he corp receives a salaryof $0,000, while the other four are paid $1,000 less. These men simply take down the woids in shorthand, working! for fif teen minutes each in succession. When each one's fifteen minutes ex pires he repairs to the Official rennrtrV troom, where ten more stenographers are employe t two to each man to whom are read the reports taken on the floor, and who takeacopy in short hand. ' Then they translate this into longhand, using a typewriter to prepare the cop for the printer. These men are paid by space, getting Si per col umn in the Record. The same is also gone through with in the Senate daily. The stenographers have recently se cured a machine to faciliate work which has already proven of inestima ble value. It, is one of Ellison's inven tions, and is called the graphaphorte. The machine very much resembles a lady's sewing machiue and is worked, the same manner by a pedal.! The instrument is used in -this wise: When one of the principal stenograph ers concludes his tloor report, he goes to this machine, reads his report into a funnel connecting with the main Cylinder, which is gntta percha coated, and revolves while the point of the needle connecting with the tube from the funnel mouthpiece rests against it. The cylinder envelopes a screw which prevents the needle tracing a l r ner tin When ti e stenographer finishes reading his report another operator attaches tubes to the cylinder, connecting with his ears, works the machine, and tile words ot. the steno grapher are repeated to hini in the s tme tone of voice of the previous talker. The rapidity of the talk can be regulated, and the operator can thus with ease take down the exact words by the use of a typewriter or an ordinary pen. The machine is certain ly wonderful and enables a person with the assist nice of a typewriter to do the work of two ordinary stenographers, who first have to take the report in shorthand and then translate it. These gntta percha cylinders, I neg lected to mention above, cm be stored twav. and vears after, it' nlaced upon the machine, the same words used to- d-iv will hp rprw;itwl in the prarfc tonp of the speaker of to-day. Thus should any record beeom? destroyed these maybe resorted to. Another thing about this machine is that a person here can talk for an hour into one, mail the cylinder to Atlanta, where by the use of a machine the exact 'words used here will be reppalel, thin saving the labor of writing long comniunica tions. Atlanta Constitution, I How th3 Pre3id3al; Workj. Washington letter to Lewiston, (Me..) Journal. One of the secretaries at the jWhite House, who has served there during the administration of four Presidents, including Cleveland, told me: recently that the latter spends more ; hours studying bills which are sent to him bv Congress than his predecessors spent "minutes. He. takes nothing for grant ed, and wil receive nobodys assurance as to the merits of a bill until he has given it stuly himself. Every bill hi I le"o.-ehimmu3t be'accouipanied by the reports made upon it in each' house of Congress, and by all the inform ition touching it that can be furnished by the executive department within whose jurisdiction it comes. If in his opinion it is all right, he signs it; if noV all the influence of the Capitol cannot stop his veto. He usually keeps well up with Congress in hi? work upon the bills, and has them signed o. vetoed early in the ten days allowed him by constitution after their receipt. Occa sionally he receives a batch of hard cases that have bothered Congress, bat finally got through. Then Jt is he summons Dah Lamont, drives out to "Pine Top," shuts himself and his Secretary out from the world, and makes a day of it.
