M Quad cn North Caro'ina. THE OLD NORTH STATE, HE SAYS, HAS "COME IKTO. LINE NOTLS OIn OU.i PEOPLE, INDUSTRIES AND AOttlCU LTURE. Detioit Free Prtss. Raleigh, N. C North Carolina has held to her traditions longer than any other State in the South out she is at last prepared to wheel into Jiue and ; welcome the new era. From one end of the State to the other the towns are alive awl boomiHg, and there is a new and better feeling among all classes of people. And the Old North State is a grand doiTiaiu ncti ia iu thoud acres, rich in its timbers and minerals, r;ci 'in its water powers and waterwajs, and blessed with a thousand udvamages denied to other stciiwhs. Sae-is to-day working gold iniuesin thirty -one coun ties and silver mines in rive outers. 6'iW mines and markets seveii-eighihs of tlie mica used in the United Slates. She supplies this country with the em ery of commerce. She has 112 var.eies of native tim ber which are usable and marketable. &iie has 1 iO varieties of minerals. She ; has water power estimated at 3,000,000 horse power. She c n grow auy grass, i frutt or vegetable known to the United States.

She h'as the coal and iron and imoerto in vite manufacturers the climate and spil which promise the best reward to the farmer. Sj much for the Slate at large. kaleigh and about. Has Raleigh progressed? It has been slow progression. In 1S00 she had about 7,000 population. Sue h is to-day about 10,000. This has been a slow growth compared to M)ine other Southern cities, but the people have come to -stay, and the buiidings erected have been solid and substantial. WUiile war did not destroy the-city, it impoverished the people, until men once worth tens of thousands were ab solutely penniless. The destit u tion was s. uuiversul that it was hard to make a begiuuiug after peace came, and this is the reason why the growth has been slow. The 'people of to-dy have, however, forgotten the poverty and hardships of the aftermath, and a more cheerful, hopeful community cannot be found. There is much in Raleigh that is quaint and old-fashioned much more that tells of modern enterprise and progress. It there was not quaintness one would be disappointed in a city founded so far back in the dim past. Taken as a whole, it compares favor ably with any town of its size iu the whole 5outh, and its situation is 100 per cent more favorable than a major ity. The city has many-fine streets, some of which are well paved, a good fire department, splendid water works, gb;d sewerage ami an honest-economical govern men r.v : MANUFACTURING AX I) TRADE. Raleigh has aljout twenty; manufac tories of importance, employing about 500 men, all of .tvhom are irf receipt of good wages. The list iucludei c;ir building, saddlery, clothing, tobacco and shoe manufacture. Every enter prise is permanent" and ; doing well. The list has grown slowly, and is heinir added to. Any manufacture which promises success is warmlv wel comed and encouraged. ; IUeigh is not only the leading in land cotton market of t he State, but eniovs it large wholesale trade through out the State. Jr annual paje3 of. I flour foot up 50,000 barf els; of meat 4.000,000 pounds; of grain I and hay, 500 car-loads; of fertilizers, 8,000 tons. There are some as fine retail stores here as ean be found in cities of four times its population. - r PUBLIC.BaJILDIJfGS, SCHOOLS, AC. Neither Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland nor Cincinnati cau boas of as-fine a postoffice as-Raleigh has. She has a fine, large court" house, a snug city hall, two seminaries, one college a col ored university, insane asylum, insti tute for theideaf, dumb and the blind, State penitentiary and various build ings occupied by State departments, outside of the Capitol building. This Utter-building, which is of jrfanite and very massive, was for many years the finest public building in the South. It is a city of churches, and its schools are of the best. The moral status of the people can be judged by the fact that there are in the county; no less than seventy-eight churches for the whites, and about eighty-five for the blacks. The financial credit of both city and county is Al, and any indebtedness in curred has been for publie improvements which the times demanded. Taxes in the city and county, if assessed on a full valuation, would be about 25 cents on the 100. THE INDUCEMENTS. Manufacturers can. secure cheap iron and coal here, und tin of all sorts is abundant and easy of access. The railroad facilities " are good, ami the people will hold out their hands to all who come to identify themselves with Raleigh. It is the ceuter of a laro;e wholesale suid retail traie, the country aboat is fertile and capable of support ing a large agricultural community, and there are no drawbacks iu tbe mat i ler of epidemics. Here on this March day there is a bracing atmosphere, but ; men are without overcoats and many 1 of the boys are barefoot. Most of the land has been plowed and the crops put in, but the gardens make a fine mowing. 'THE PROBLEM. When we of the North refer to the South the negro always conies into the question. - His status and his future are -regarded by us as a great problem. We are uVueh worried by it at times. It is a matter which should be and can be left with the South to take care of. The Southern negro is a theory with us. H h a solid substance to the southerner. He knows more about him in a d.y than we do in a year.' Heha got more excuses for his failings than any northern mail d ire urge. He treats him more-kindly than we do the same race at the North. Just now the State of North Caro lina is overrun fwith railroad agents who aie inducing a western hegira among the negroes. They have taken 10,000 or more aw iv, and the number is being adiied to d uly. The'liegro is m ade to think he is! going straight to Paradise, and he accepts as truth any i statements these agents care to make. It :dl the sorrv ones- would iro it , would ie r, good thi: but the rush Ss I taking some of thf- very best colored ; men who hate .yiiali farms and a re- spectable striding intelligent and v.iiu. d met-'.-uics -some of the trusted hands plantations. They are sacri ficing everything" to go with the rush, and most of them will arrive in the West jenuiless and homesick. None of these moves are for his benefit. It is a heartless speculation to, s cure his r.iilrotd fare. But 1 wanted to say that the colored people of North Carolina are deserving of praise over those of many other southern States. They are as a rule intelligent, respectful and industrious, having aims and ambitious, and tbe business of the various localities has depended upon them to a gre.it extent. WHAT THE CUXTY RAISES. It is a fair farming country about Raleigh, although the lands have been tilled for three or four generations. Wheat will average, season with sea son, about 15 bushels to the acre; oats, 25; Irish potatoes, 200; sweet potatoes, 400; hay, 2 tons; turnips, 3'J0 bnslicls; cotton, a bale to tho acre. This is under a slip-shod system of farming, with the southern farmers way or' spending about half his time in town discussing the best way to save the country. The small farmer, white or black, jacks energy, ambition aud econ omy. He would starve to death in Ohio, Michigan or Canada' where he manages to make a living here. -A practical, hard-working northern far mer wt-uld increase the above figures 2.) or 30 per ceut., besides having a climate in which he can work outdoors every day in tho year, and a winter which takes off none of the profits of his summer. WHAT CAN BE DONE. There are several gentlemen here who know how to farm as it should be done, and the results of their labors have been highly gratifying. Two or three years ago Capt. Williamson pr -pared an old cotton field of twenty acres for a meadow. V He used 120 worth of guano iu bringiug up the laud. , He took off Hvo n-wings of bat-gross, orchard-gr.Ss and clover in one se:tsoti, which, yielded h nil three tons to the acre. : The hay was worth 2J"nef ton. : The seeding, labor etc.. ! cp: t l:ra $S per sere, making the ex- pense, with the fertilizer, 8230. His receipts Were $1,200, leaving a net profit of $020. Few farmers can show a better result en 100 acres of land with a diversity of crops. 1 Maj. Tucker is another gentleman who furmjs after moden ideas and makes it pay. Last year he had 105 acres in cotton, and the yield was 105 bales, wort i $36 er bale. He had 100 acres in corn, which yielded twenty bushels to the acre and sold at seventy cents per bushels. Seventy acres of wheat yielded fifteen bushels to the acre. Sixty acre3 of meadow yielded two tons of grass per acre. W. G. Unchurch has a farm of 600 acres near Raleigh. Last year he made 125 bales of cotton, worth $36 per bale. He raise 1,300 bushels of oats, worth $520 800 bushels of corn, worth $480; 2 JO bushels of sweet potatoes, worth $123 fifty tons of hay; worth $750; ninety tons of ensilage, worth 270; 300 bushels of cow peas, worth $1 per bushel. A portion of the land was used as a stock, range, and there fore not iu cultivation. In connec tion with the farm Mr. Unchurch has a dairy of Jersey cows.. The average of milkers last season was twenty cows. The product of butter was 5,000 pounds, every pound of which sold wt home for thirty-Sve cents. He raised thirty calves, valued at $25 each, and 4,000 pounds of pork, worth seven ceit per pound. He is now fattening forty steers for market, and the sole food is cotton-seed meal and cotton seed hulls. On this-diet, tried nowhere else in the South, a steer is put in prime condition in four months. Th net profit is about $10 per head. If there is any farme- in Ohio or Michi gan who can ruaki a better showing than Mr. Upchurc i gives Twould like to see his figures. THE HOME OF THE GRAPE. North Carolina can and does gro.7 as fine a grape as California or any country in Europe. Indeed, had her people after the war givea everything but fruits the go-by she would "to-day b.? the wealthiest State in the South. Capt. Williamson, mentioned above, has four and oue-half acres in grapes. The varieties are the Ives, Concord, Mar tha and Champion. They ripen about the 18th of July aud the harvest lasts about twenty days. They are - packed in ten-pound baskets and shipped to the East, where they bring five cents per pound: net. 'he clear profit on the vineyard last year was 480 in hard cash. He is now adding to the acreage, making a total of sixteen. He had more clean cash off the four and one half acres of grapes than he did off of thirty acres of cotton. The captain has likewise demoiistated the fact that it pays to raise blooded horses in the Old North State, and at the present time he has no less than thirty-five on his farm. Farnfers of the North and West who may be thinking of making a change want facts and figures in regard to ag riculture, and I give them at the risk of being tedious. The man of energy who comes down here to farm has got something just as good as bank stock. M. Quad. Cnrinj Neuralgia The Stinging of a Wasp was Efficacious. Having read with much interest the item-taken from the Courier des Etats Unis concerning Dr. Terc and his new cure for rheumatism, the writer wishes to offer the following account of a somewhat remarkable verification of the theory in question. It occurred iu New "Jersey, near I'atersou, about twenty-five years ago, and the writer is able to vouch for the truth of every detail: " An Irish girl, employed as cook ia a well-known family there, had been troubled with neuralgia for some time, and at last it grew so severe that she became almost frantic with pain, actual ly knocking her head against the wall iu the hope of inducing insensibility. Then her employer, who had heard that the sting of a wasp or a bee had been used by some Southern physician with the best result .in similar cases, asked the p:or girl if she felt willing tc have such experiment tried on her face. She onsnted at once, probably with a courage born of despair, and a wasp, torpid from the winter's cold, was produced from a rafter in the atta?. After being well warmed by the kitchen fire the wasp was easily pro voked to sting the sufferer, and was ap plied just where the pain was most in tolerable. Within a few moments there wan. a sensible diminution of pain, and when half an hour had pass ed the patie.it fell asleep and did not wake for several hours. But the most important fact of all is that there was never any recurrence of neuralgia in this case, though the women remained for many months there-after in the service of the same employer, and had Iteen subject to disease for vears.

The Bridge Burners. A NORTH CAROLINA GENTLEMAN TELLS SOME NEW STORIES ABOUT THEM. Enoxvllle Journal. John L.idy, of Concord, North Car olina, is in the citv and tinim'ti- John Lady is a well-built, robust man, and has nothing of the feminine appearance about him his name would indicate. That he is alive and moving on top of the earth te-dav is no fault of the confederate forces that iufested the vicinity of Lick Creek at the break ing put of the war. For John Lady was pne of the. patriotic Union men who, in obedience to the orders of the i United States government, helped burn j Lick Creek bridge. The bridge was ! burned iu order to interrupt rebel communications and prevent the con centration of the confederate forces in that country. A number of the bridge burners were captured aud hung by the confederates, but Lady, in company with a number of fellow bridge burn ers, evaded the men wha- were thirst ing for their lives and escaped into Kentucky where they joiued the Union forces and fought valiantly for the pre servation of the government. A Journal reporter talked with Mr. Lady, aud he gave him the following facts concerning ths bridge burning and subsequent events. "The Lick Creek bridge was humpd on the night of November 8, 1S62, in obedience to orders from the- Uuited States government, that nromied n substantial reward for our trouble and danger. We were doubtless mtriotie enough to have done the work for love of country alone, but the reward was in the nature of a stimulus. It was a dark night on which the at tempt was made. The bridge was guarded by feven soldiers, under com mand of Capt -tin Maxwell. We quiet ly surrounde I them and captured them without any bloodshed or trouble, with the exception of ene rebel, who was pat ron ng the Ondge and who 'leaped into the creek and escaped. Our work, was soon accomplished and quicker than I can tell it the Lridire was wran- ped in flumes. 1 here were thirty of us under the om mand of Cant. David Frve. and bp- fore entering upon the werk we bound ourselves bv an iron-clad oath to be faithful to our task and loyally sup port the Union. Treachery was not thought of. We were of the loyal East Tennessee mountaineer stock that never hesitated for an instant in decid ing which j-ide was in the right. We appreciated the difficulties and dangers of the task before us.-" The country was full of armed rebels,, and we knew the chances were in favor of a slip noose being adjusted around our uejks should we be caught. We had been assured by the govern ment, through Captian Frye, that we would be protected as far as possible and would be assisted to escape. But the arrangement fell through, and after the work was done ech m in w .s made to shift for himself. After the deed was done; my father, Henderson Lady, and myself, in com pany with C. A. Hann,;p'nt th n'ght at our house. In the morning Haun w;ts captured on his way home, taken to Knoxville. court-martialed and huns. Mat Henshaw. Jacob and Hen- rv Harmon were also captured, put through the farce of a court-martial and hung. "What did you do with the soldiers you captured?"' - "We made them take the oath of loyalty and turned them loosV Some of the lads wanted to hang them, but Arthur Haun, a Cumberland Pres byterian minister, begged for, their lives. It was eight months before we got away, but finally we managed to elude the, watchful confederates and escaped into Kentucky, when we joined the First Tennessee, company D, Captaiu James L ine in command. "We never got a cent for the work we did in -burning the Lick Creek bridge, although promised it by the national government.
