I thought our climate or something made it ae ami that I could find it blue in Kentucky, but it was the greenest kind of a green, and on inquiry I learned that it was never blue except when in bloom, and it was the bloom that made it look blue then. I learned that the seed had to be sown to get a set and that ragweed and crab grass followed their grain crops just like they do .here.

In our car were two young girls,nchly and tastefully dressed. Our attention was attracted to them as they chatted together and counted their money. One said there was ninety dollars, and the other said it was eigh ty-live, and they counted and recount ed, and made it eighty and sometimes a hundred, and soon began to reel over toward each other. Then they took a drink out of a bottle, and giggled and counted their money again. A gen tleman beh Hid us said that was the third drink since they had left Chatta nooga. When we met the wreck most of us left the car'and went forward to view the provoking prospect. On our return we missed those girls, and a lady told us they were outside in a diteh ! Ahd sure enough they were, their hats off and their beautiful seal skins and furs and dresses mingled with the mud as they reposed in a drunken sleep. It was very dark, but after awhile the lanterns came and they were taken to si shanty near by, and we left them in their shame. On, Early Iredell History. Cof. Statesville Landmark. During the session of the North Car olina Legislature held in 1788-9, an act was passed to establish a new county out of the western part of Rowan, to be called Iredell, in honor of James Iredell, Sr., who was soon after ap pointed by President George Washing ton an Associate Justice of the Su preme Court of the United States. On the fourth Monday in March, 1789, certain persons, supposed to have been magistrates of old Rowan county, but living within the territory to be in cluded in the new county, met at some place, not known, and opened a Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions. These l-sons were David Caldwell, John uggins, (great grandfather of Mrs. Dr. Harrill, Mrs. H. C. Cowles, and others,) Joseph Sharpe and Charles Houston. After organizing the court the fol lowing grand jury, the first ever organ ized in Iredell, was drawn, sworn and charged: John McHenry, Will McClelland, Largest Span of Masonry n the World. Imbedded in Cabin John Bridge, the largest single span of masonry in the world, is a tablet setting forth that certain high officials of the United States Government participated in the laying of the corner stone of the struc ture which conveys water to the na tional capital. This arch, which is 220 feet across and 101 feet in height, was commenced in the spring of 1853, when Defferson Davis was.Secretary of War, and for four years he superin tended every detail of this great-work.

Millersburg is noted for education: falvaiitaos. Two prosperous colleges, one for 1 oys and one for girls, are there and they have patrons from all over the Southern States. The female college is an especial favorite with the people of Arkansas. Dr. Pope, the president, is a Georgian, and, of course, that has something to do with the success and pro perity of his school. From care ful observation 1 will venture to say that there aie more teachers from Georgia scatter d over the South than troni any other three States. Dr. Pope has near 3(H) girls in his charge, and 90 of tJieni are boarding in his house hold. Just think of it! What a fam ily! What a responsibility! Their morals, theiiMlianners, and their health all to he- cared fujin addition to their education. They come from different house holds with different training, different tra.ts of character, aifferent habits, ami all iiave to be assimilated and governed alike and made to conform to any sys tem. What a compliment it is to the President and his wife that as the old er girls graduate and marry their younger sisters are sent to take their places, and in many cases the children have taken the mothers' place. What a splendid chance these college boys have to chose their mates, and vice versa. I have always thought it was a good plan to have a college for boys where there was one for girls. It is t-r the next best thing to a mived school that I know of. From Millersburg I went overland to Paris. A friend with a good horse took me over the splendid turnpike nine miles in fortv minutes, and we did not seem to be in a hurry. The i i i i i j reins were carelessly loose in ins nanu, and he had time to tell who lived in w t, . every house along the way and some thing of the family history. That horse never broke Ins trot for a mo ment nor seemed to be pressed or tired We .passed the toll-gates without stop ping, for the rule was pav as you re turned. Oh. these delightful roads! Why can't we have them in Georgia? A lovelier country than that around Paris and Lexington eye never looked upon. The farming lands command one hundred dollars an acre easily, and where pleasantly situated near nike. and having a grove in front of the mansion, bring twice that sum. These roads add largely to their val ue. A team that would struggle ami strain oyer our roads with two thousand pounds will easily haul five thousand pounds in Kentucky, and do it in half the time. - Fine horses are the big thing there every body talks horse. lhe women and the children and the preachers know the pedigree of the thorough bred4jetter than they know the ances- s - K ... try of their most intimate neighbors.

Just such a boy has been here and found a home with a good farmer, but he left with some gypsies a few weeks ago. This boy said he came from Honda, nd that his father and mother were dead; but he admitted later that he had told a story, and said that his mother lived in Atlanta; but he would not give his real name. Maybe this description will meet the eyes of some one who can locate the boy.

What a Christian gift it would be to her to fold him in her arms, and weep over him and make him promise not to leave her again. She does not want him arrested nor brought to her by force, but she wants to find bun and go after him. Friends to humanity, please look out for that boy, and if you find him write to her.

No Suoenor Court had vet been es tablished, as the following will show: "Ordered by the court that the fol of the John Worke, John Little, John McCaull, Sr., Jas. Stephenson, Thonias loung, Wm McBee. "Ordered by the court that any one returning property for taxation for the year 119V in this county or lwwan county, must, when the line is run, pay in the county in which they live.'" The court continued to meet at Wm. Simonton's until the 24th of March, 1790, and adjourned that day to meet in June at Statesville. This is the first time Statesville is mentioned in the re cords of the ceurt, and the site had probably just been selected and the place named. June, 1790, court met at Statesville and tradition says it was in a log house on the corner of what is now Broad and Tradd streets, south of the Baptist church. September, 1790. It was ordered by the court that the following rates be allowed by the several tavern-keepers of Statesville: s.

Numerous rea sons have been given as to who author ized the erasure of the name of Jeffer son Davis from the tablet, but all have wound up with the commonly accepted heory that it was done by order of the great War Secretary, Edwin M. Stan ton. Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, who was Captain o Engineers was assigned by Jefferson Davis to duty in connec tion with the construction of the Washington aqueduct, when ques tioned on the subject, said that he re membered the circumstances very well. He added: President Pierce also transferred the supervision of these works to the Secretary of War, who was Jefferson Davis. When he left the War De partment in 1857 the work was still being performed under the directions of the War Department, and this was continued until the civil war broke out. At that time it was important for army officers and especially engi neers, to go to other stations and du ties, and the work .of supervising the construction of the works was turned over to the Interior Department, whose Secretary was Caleb B. Smith. One afternoon, in company with a party of gentlemen, Secretary Smith drove up to the Cabin John Bridge to see how the aqueduct was progressing, and the tablet bearing the name of Jefferson Davis attracted his attention. He re marked that such a distinction was too great for such a traitor as Jefferson Davis, and, the m?xt morning, a work man was sent up to cut out the objec tionable name with his chisel. On my return from a trip West in connection with my duties as Quartermaster-Gen eral, I visited the new aqueduct span and discovered what had been done during my absence. It did not meet with my approbation at the time, and I have never ceased to deprecate the erasure of the name of an official who took such aa interest in the aqueduct and .who while in the Congress of the United States had been foremost in urging an appropriation for such work, which was completed in 1859. By at tempting to obliterate the name of Jefferson Davis from the tablet where it had been properly placed more prom inence was given him than was even contenapled, for the invariable remarks of visitors to the bit? arch brine out men in heroism, in personal courage, in peril ous adventure happily surmounted. It is a career which implies an un daunted spirit, immense resource, com plete self-possession, and prompt seiz ure and improvement of opportunity. They are the qualities which in other spheres of activity found states, baffle apparently resistless forces, and change the course of history. Stanley has confronted the almost boundless and unknown forests and jungles, the mo rasses and waters and mountains, of a continent swarming with savage hos tility, with pestilence, and a myriad nameless obstructions, in an impene trable silence and absolute separation from the rest of the world and from all hope of communication or succor. And upon him alone, upon his health, strength, intelligence, spirit, nerve, and persistence, not only one life, but the lives of hundreds, the welfare of thousands, increased knowledge, and the progress of civilization depended. He has not failed. He has overcome. It is not a picnic from which he emer ges, but he comes a conqueror from a tremendous and prolonged conflict with what seemed invincible forces. When Dr. Kane returned from his gteat voyage to the north pole a small, quiet, refined, and modest man Thackeray, who was then in this coun try, met him one day at dinner, and heard his simple and thrilling story. When Kane paused, Thackeray arose to his full height, and gravely asked to be permitted to kneel and kiss his foot. It was a humorous form of the instinc tive homage of the hardy English race to indomitable pluck and persistence. It is the same feeling which will bring Germany and England to receive Stan ley as a conqneror not from the battle-fields or bloody decks, but from the long contest with savage nature, which, whether at the icy north or the burn ing equator, has also had the profound est fascination from the night, three centuries ago, when Sir Humphrey Gilbert's light suddenly vanished upon the ocean to the happy morning, just now when Stanley was known to have arrived at Zanzibar. "Heaven is as near by sea as by land,v said the un conquerable Sir Humphrey, and Stan ley's letter is in the same high strain. THE MODERN MAIDEN.

Don't tell a man he is a stranger to the truth because he happens to be smaller than yourself. Errors of this kind have been known to be disastrous. Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. Leave them beside the kitchen fire where they will lie handy to put on in the morning. It ia bad to lean your back against anything cold, particular ly when it is an icy pavement, upon which your vertebral arrangement has caromed with a jolt that shakes the buttons off your coat. Always eat vonr breakfast before beginning your journey. If you haven t any break fast, don't journey. After violent ex ercise like putting up the stove or nailing down carpets never ride around town in an open carriage. It is better to walk. It is also cheaper. When hoarse, speak as little as possi ble. If you are not hoarse, it won't do any harm to keep your month shut, too. Don't light the fire with kero sene. Let the hired girl do it. She hasn't any wife and children. You have. Don't roam around the house in your bare feet at the dead of night try ing to piek up stray tacks. Men have been known to dislocate their jjiw through this bad practice. When you see a man put the lighted end of a ci gar in his mouth, don't ask him if it is hot enough. Serious injury has often resulted from this habit. rhiltfdelftkM Inquirer, number of bales for market and en hances the value of the remainder one fourth per pound, making the gain to the planters $8,505,000. The J. R. Adams factory can put a bale of cotton into its spinning room for $6.77 less than it can lie laid down in Lowell, Mass. If the cotton was spun in the South 47,390,000 would be saved in the freight charges, etc. A better dav is coming for in 1887 the product of the Southern cotton mills was i&8,000,000 against $1,000, 000 in 1880.
