The Tiecord says i the new Populist sheriff of Chatham ha appointed r colored man as one of his assistants at co:rt, and adds : It may be one of the 'reforms contemplated by the Third party, but it is - the first time in the History of Chatham that a negro officer has ordered white men to keep silence!!' A Nebraska mnn advertised for wife. He said he wanted a "Southern girl who would be willing to denfon- strate her ability to cook by preparing a meal in his presence.

The Sentinel says Principal - Clewell, of Salem Female Academy, proposed some days ago to give a box of fine French candy to every girl in school who would walk two miles each day until April 1st.

Wednesday of last week was Ash Wednesday and the weather was anvthing but good hence, if there is anything in the sign, we may ex pect a short wheat crop this year.

Correspondence ot the Watcoman. The true significance of President elect Cleveland's cabinet selections, all but two of which have been announced, is beginning to be fully realized by the politicians, and it is not pleasing to those of his own party who are on record as having opposed his nomina- ri ii i tion. misu me way a democratic senator who was friendlv to Hill be fore the Chicago convention, but af terwards took a very active part iu the campaign : "l consider that notice has been served upon the party that it is to be a Cleveland administration, in ftct as well as in na.ufv-and ilint rvon but original Cleveland m n nred ap ply for patronage.' With Gresham at the head of the State Department all but Cleveland men will certainlv be shut out of diplomatic place ; we m y Zrr. a few crumbs from Carlisle, mv old colleague: BUs-'ll w;Il see to it that the Hill mn are kept out of the little postoffices in Nw York as well as in the other states: Limont will uatu raljy run the War Department in the interest of his friend ; Hoke Smith will do the same with the Interior Department, while Morton, of Ne braska, is too well known as a Cleve land worshiper to leave any doubt of what he will do with the Agricultural Department. Do not understand me as kicking, or at being a sore heal. I have always contended that a Presi dnt had a perfect right to organize his cabinet to suit l)imelf, and 1 d not blame Mr. Cleveland for exerciinj that right ; lam only telling you what the cabinet as so far selected mewns to J those Democrats who opposed Mr. Cleveland's nomination, because it will save lots of disappointment to have it generally. known."' The Western men do not like even a little bit the selection of-Hoke Smith, of Georgia, to be Secretary of" the In terior. They think, and mke no bones of saying that a western man should have been put in the place, be cause that department has to deal with so manv matters affecting that sec tion. However, the opposition is ljke that to Judge Jackson, whose nomi nation to the Supreme court was con firmed by the Senate without a dis senting voice.

The model is built in sections and as soon as completed will be shipped to Chica go and erected there. The End of the Great Spree. After four years of unexampled, un pardonable, and almost incredible reck lessness in the matter of appropria tions, the United States Government is forced to become a borrower of mon ey. .

N. Y.Sun. The Doctors Puzzled. About two weeks ago Dr. B. J. Field, of this place, was called on to visit a gentleman in Stokes county who had been suffering for some time from a tumor in his left side. Upon opening his side Dr. Field found the tumor to be closely connect ed with the man's heart by an artery throngh which the olood circulated freelv, By means of a small cord, the doctor gradually stopped the circula tion from the heart to the tumor, un til it w.ts completely shut off. He' then waited and carefully' watched the resuits for half an lour, after which be again went to work, and in one and three-fourth minutes severed the arterv, took the tumor from the man, closed and ewed up his side. The tumor was 5 inches in diam eter, and 7 inches-long, and, upon close elimination, wes found to con tain a r erfect heart with all its valves nnd appliances in perfect working or der. The doctor hus preserv-d it, and will lend it to New York in the near It is one of the most wonderful freaks of nature upon record, and the taking it ot was one of the most skillful sur gical operations ever performed. The man, from wh im it was taken, had been unable to work fcr more than a year before the operation was per formed, but is now able to walk about and the indications are that he will soon be a well man.

Lynchburg, Fa. Advance. A Sketch of Hoke Smith, Who ia on the Next Cabinet Slate. Wasi:lbgton Special to r-hlladeiphla Times. . Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who will probably be Secretary of Agriculture under Cleveland, is not very well known in Washington. He has been here once rr twice this session, bnt his visits are fleeting. He is not yet 33 years of age and has the appearance of an athletic. His smooth-shaven face is not unlike that of the late Henry W. Grady He is a native of North Caro lina, in which state he was graduated in law. Then he emigrated to Georgiar and n a few years has risn to the head of his profession. His practice is now larger than that of any other lawyer in the State, and has amassed a fortune which is estimated at $300,000. He is a most successful prosecutor of dam age suits against railroads. Besides being a lawyer, has had some experience in the newspaper profession Buying the Atlanta Journal at a time when its prospects were not of the brightest, he adopted a policy which Mr. Grady found so successful in building up the Atlanta Constitution. He employed cood men, paid them good salaries and their work. encouraged them in A Mistaken Policy. i:ural Weld. The farmers of the South appear to be in danger of their great error of 1S91 in raising a crop of cotton too Itrge to be profitably marketed. The effec's of that error were extremely disastrous to the people of the Southern States and brought thousands of farmers to the brink of bauhruptcy. Lsst year influenced by repeated nrg intfs of the press and the State Coni tni s o ?ers of Agriculture, as well as by the conclusions reached by intelligent planters and merchants iu public meet ings, the fanners reduced the acreage of cotton and planted more corn, wheat, oats and other food products. The result of thus diversifying the crops was that better prices for cotton prevailed and the financial condition of a tne farmers whs materially improved. The agricultural journals of the South report that the amount of fer tilizing materials bought for use on cotton lands it abnormally large, from nearly every section of the cotton belt comes the statement that the acreage in cotton will be larger than ever be fore. The Agricultural Commissioners of Alabama and Georgia have publicly warned the farmers that they are mak ing a serious mistake, aud the Ala bama Commissioners predict disnsUr if the farmers of that State plant as tjreat an acreage to cottou as they now iutend doing. The farmers cannot suffer alone. If they will not profit by experience thev will again bring about the unfavorable conditions of two years ago for all the Southern people.

Two persons may be born at the same place and at the same moiunt exsctly, aud , yet, after fifty years have rolled around, they may both die at the sam.i instant, and still one .may be mure than 100 days older than The other. I think I hear some one ay "impost ble," and "bow could such n ttatc ofat fairs be brought about?" but i is not im possible; it is 6i m ply an astronomical ami geographical fact, very easily proven. A. calm reflection shows this oddity turns on a very obvious problem in cir cUuiuavixatiou. Suppose now that two persons were born nt the same instant in l'hUade!pi)it. from whence a trip around the woriii may easily bejnade in one year; if dire of these persons constantly goes toward the west, in fifty years he will be fifty daj-s ahead of them. One, therefore, will have seen 100 days more than the other, though they were, boru at the same instant, lived contin ually in the same latitude, aud died together. The80ciety girl whose limp energies make iHrapossible for herto help her ma slew around the furniture will no doubt be surprised to learn of the la tent energy she possesses. The calcu lation runs this way; "Air average waltz takes one over or about three-quarters of a mile, and a square danc makes you cover a half ujile and a gal lop equals a good mile, at a run, to Conni for yourself how much a girl with a well filled programme traverses in an evening. Twenty dances !s the average. Of these about twelve arc waltzes. There, at once, are nin" miles. Three "gel ops and she has don twelve miles. Fiv other dances at a half mile apiece, which is hardly a fair ly big estimate, brings her close upou fifteen miles, to say nothing cf the in termission stroll iu thgnrden and tin trips to the dressing room to renovate one's "gown and complexion." As the Supremo court of the United States has recently decided that thci . branch lines of the Wilmington and Wel don railroad were liable to taxation; we do not comprehend th merit of n policy that would restrict ratroatl huiMiU in North Carolina and thus out off a source of revenue to the State. It is understood that the object of the resolution is to protect the Atlantic and North Carolina roads from injury byhaving their Hik parallelled. But would tbw be a oun I rinciple of legislation? Would not such legislation be a dangerous featur. of paternalism ? Would it not be legis lation in faver ofo:ie corporation against another? Possibly we have failed to comprehend the real scope of Mr. Allen'. resolution, but if it meaus what we now understand it to mean, it dees not ae- cord with the spirit of enlightened le- velopment, and it favors a principle cf discriminating legislation which is op posed to the democratic platform.
