Three of the mouth begin on Wednesday; while Sunday, Thursday, and Saturday are ach the natal day for twe months. There are three months April, July, and Uecember that cover part of six weeks each.

Theirs was almost an ideal married life. Few husbands love their wives more tenderly and deferentially than Gen eral Jackson did his. Her wish was to him in mont instances law. On oie occasion, however, Jbe did not yield to her desire. Not long before her death she begged him to join the Presbyteri an chnrph near their frorne in Tenues- see; but being iny the political cam paign' as a presidential candidate, he iaid to her ; f Mv dear, if 1 were to do that now it would be said all over toe country that h4 done it for the sake of political effect. 1 cannot do it now, but I promise you that when ouce njorq J am clear of politics, 1 wilt joiu the phurch." She is said to have been a noble woman, blessed with sincere piety and abundant good sense. Ou DeceraW 3, 1828, when the fj-jends, of the President-elect were Srepariog to give m public dinner m fashvjlle ip hwbpnor, she passedway from these earthly scenes to her heav enly home. His grief was deep and touching. When she was informed, a short time before her death, of her husbands election, she said : "Well, for Mr. Jackson's sake: I'm glad; for iny own part I never wished it." Pood Roads. tome matje good roads and ruled the ancient world. Her traders could travel freely and her legions could march swiftly to peaceful or warlike . conquests. The same law holds to this hour. On one) side of the Miss issippi lands are worth fifty dollars an acre, and on the other twenty. One side has good roads aud good citizens ; the other has 'poor ones. If a farmer loses two heurs a day during the winter season from bad roads, that foots up a month of lost time. He must have heavier vehicles and is able to draw "only lighter loads. Four trips have to be made where three would suffice. The harness is broken? the Jiorses are worn out. Time is wasted, social life is hampered, commerce is handicapped. Seveial of our newer States, are making earnest provision . for belter roads. Bonds are to be ,vQtd f or i m provements. The road build jng inf many "sections has been a mere farcetSKAmanj wprks oot his pwnltai according :to his :owa- no tions in front 'of his own house. -It Will pay lo" build 'macadamized roada without slipshod economy, in all well travelled districts. It cannot be', done Ht once. It should be done well when it is done. t But it will 'bo invaluable " for all regions where roads become i m passable at times, The Ofscidpnt: r y.C Presbyterian : Some one com plains that the ancients have said all 1 iMtr crood thinsrs : the more on rtft them IhertROre he -realizes Solomon's. lordThelthingwhich shair be,.is that which hath been and: there is nothing new under the sun, "Con- pcince,'Vtays Shakespsre, Hmakes cbw- urd ot,us ail, Uicero says : MDo not imagine the wicked are haunted by the ;blazjg torches of the Furies sent by the godvr- It is each one's own euilt. fawn vlllany, own? crimes.!

His dressed weight nx 63 pounds. Mr. Bray made 315 pound of lard from his porker nod sold it to Mr. John Pun n at 3 cents per pound. . A Model Union County Farmer. Monroe jEnqalrer. , . Qhe of the best farmers of Union c6rrHftai4 one of the best citizens, is l$Td. St. Latham, of Baford township. He never idught a sack; of floury bushel of corn or a rtfum of meat be cause be bad it to do; he had bought them some time io trade pu bat Hot for his own use. There has not been a year since he was married, 27 years ago, that he has hot had some of the necessaries of life to sell to neighbors, who jiegWted these things to devote their whole attention raising cotton. It goes without saying that while he has prospered many uf them have gone from bad to worse, and there was hard ly one of them that did not begin life under more favorable circumstances. On the night of his marriage he re solved that his wife or children, if he was ever so fortunate as to have any should never see him iutoxicatd, and from that day to this a drop of liquor has not entered his mouth. Very Effectively Disposed Of. Philadelphia Times. Mr. Vance very easily and effectively disposed of the argument ef Mr. Hoar, that the Senate must be kept full, even if the constitution has to be strained to fill it He shows that the constitution provides but one way of tilling a regu lar term, by election by the Legisla ture, and one way of filling an acciden tal vacancy, by temporary appoint ment by the Governor. Either may fail, but it is not in the power of the Senate to coerce their action. If a Legislature deliberately refuses or fails to elect a Sen a tar, there is an end to It; the place remains vacant till the Legislature shall change its mind. To assume that; the re shall be no vacancy and that therefore the Governor's pow er to appoint must be assumed, is to get upon very dangerous ground. Elsctricity From the Catawba. Cbafiotte News. The plan to furnish Charlotte with electric power from a power station on the Catawba is entirely practicable. As the men who secured the charter have both money and energy it will not be long until all the cotton mills of this section are run by electricity, generated by the works on the Ca tawba, electric lights will sparkle everywhere and there will be an elec tric road from Charlotte to Mt. Holly and the line of mills along the Ca tawba. Ihe success of this plan has been practically demonstrated in - Europe. Now it is about to be operated in Cali fornia A San Antonio company is having a power plant set up in th San An ten io canon, where there is a minimpm flow of 1,300 cubic feet of water per minute under a htad of about 400 feet. The water is con veyed to the power station in pipes, where it revolves a number of turbine wheels that aje coupled to , the arma ture shafts of as many altematinsr current generators. From the. through suitable wires, ten thousand volts, of electricity will travel to Pomona, thirteen miles awav. and to San Bernardino, twentv-three miles distant, and in both places be used for the production of light aud power. A fremarkabls Child. Booton Globe. Helen Kellar, the remarkable child ho, although born blind and deaf and dumb, has accomplished so much that is beautiful and inspiring, numbers among her friends many persons of royal station in Europeou courts who never saw her. One of these is thn queen of Greece, who learned of Helen mrougn Mitcbel Anagnos, the direc tor ot the Institution for th UnA when he visited Greece SOme timt arm The interest which the queen took in Helen was so intense that she exacted from Mr. Anagnos a Droraisu that would let her read every letter that Helen wrote to him while he wa at rthe Greek caDital. and when ha about to return to this country she in duced him to permit her to retain sev eral, ot the letters that she bad iH Which are treasured very liiiihlv at the court. " - " The queen expressed on more than one occasion her surprise that Helen. wnois not yet in her teens, should have so remarkable, a command of the purest English, and hinted tht the child might bave had some assistance in the preparation of her wonderful letters. But Mr.- Anagnos disposed of that thought by informing her majes ty that there was no person connected with the institution who could write EuglisK so fautlessly: pure and sweet as Helen wiote; since the little girl never had an opportunity to form ac quaintance with any but the loftiest models of the language, v Helen has learned to articulate, and can speak as freely and fully as any unafflicted person. When she wish to hold a long conversation with anv- ooay uear to ner she places One ,hnger across the lips o the speaker and an other on the throat at' the larynx. In this .way she understands every word that is uttered as rapidly as could be understood by a person with good eye- Kiguw ana neanng. :..

I don't know how far it went, but I know that it didn't come out; ut least it didn't for a long time. Well, I went ahead about my work with a bullet in my brain, and I felt pretty queer all the'time, "1 didn't seem to have much memo ry, and sometimes I felt pretty queer and heard queer kinds of noises. One day I sat down to breakfast. I'd been feeling better for some time past, t I had begun to remember things. Sol was just sitting down at breakfast, re membering things and eating buck wheat cakes with svrup when I felt something plump down on my tongue. 'There goes that blamed eyetooth,'. said I. . m What's the matter, William?' said my wife. "Eyetooth dropped out, I reckon,1 said I. "Then I brought eyetooth down be tween mv teeth and took it ent with with my fingers. Well, sir, it wasn't no eyetooth at all, but a bullet. You bet I was surprised. It was the same bullet that had gone in between my eyes."--New Orleans Times-Democrat. BeTolntionary Belies. A correspondent of the Wilmington Star writes from Wooton, N. C. : "Mrs. E. J. Collins, of Bladen county. great-grand-niece of Nathan Meri- ditb, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, has in her possession his powder gourd which he carried with him through the war. Mr. W. H. Flake, of the same sec tion, shows with a good deal of patri otic pride a bed quilt, made in the year 17 id. It is wonderfully well preserved. Rev. E. W. Wooten has in his poss ession a mortar used for Mating up coffee that was brought from Scotland by Rev. Hugh Monroe's fither, over 100 years ago. It is about eighteen inches high and quite a curiosity." A Cslestial Phenomenon. San Francisco, Cal., March 28 At midnight last night a most peculiar phenomenon was visible in the heav ens here a little south of the west. It appears to be a very large star and hotting out red and blue sparks. It is not very far above the horizon and is slowly sinking It is also moving rapidly from south to north. Th same phenomenon is reported! from Santa CruzvSan Luis. Ojesiuo and other points in the State. Large Trees. The Elkin correspondent of tl le Winston Sentinel says: "Mr. Will Ashe, of Raleigh, and Mr. Lindsey, of Asheville, are here get ting up specimens and taking photo graphs of large trees and scenery of different kinds for the World's Fair. Among their subjects is found some trees of the following diameter to wit A dogwood 54 inches in circumfererce a juniper 15 feet, a sugar maple 15J teet, a poplar 39 feet, an elm 15$ feel and 75 feet to the first limb from the ground, a cucumber tree 10 feet, a sweetgum 17 feet, a cherry 161 and a! vucauiuk ti icct. i nese ngures are all the circumference of the different trees named. They are all located in the counties of MiLhel I, Robeson, Bladen, Northampton, Wilkes and Surry. The Girls' Tea Table. It is quite the fancy now, says a val ued exchange for girls still in the de batable country between school days and full-pledged young lady-hood to nave dainty tea tables in their own rooms, with all the requisite appurte nances, and to receive their girl friends at the regular tea hour on certain days! The cups and sancers and spoons are generally souvenirs from some harm less summer flirtation or holidav out ing, and have all soits of mystic sym bolisms for the girl herself and her "gossip," to whom she tells nil her con fidences. There is nothing a girl enjovs half so much as these little teas, all her own for from the time a srirl babv ran tall- her instinct of hospitality develops and ' uauuesuf iiseii m ner doll tea oarhes never to quite die out until her hands are too old and tottering to lift the Ua urn. It is one of the inherent woman graces like motherhood which in the girl baby thrills as surely in the protectiug tenderness she lavishes' on her sawdust doll as in the self-sacrice with which she promenadss the floor until dawn with the teething babv a man would toss out of the window if he dared, before midnight. 1 The opinion is given out in New York that Col,Shepard died under an operation because ether was adminis tered after eating two hearty meals. . There are now over 100 convicts at the phosphate diggings at Castle Hay ne near W ilmington. The State has a farm adjoining, and this is now being prepared for peanut planting. Cloth tor 011,520 Shirts, concord jBiara. . One of our cotton mills has received a lii v order. The order calls for 700 cases, 42 bolts to the case and 52 yards to the bolt. V This goods is to Im of a nice , stripe and for shirts every day shins. The whole unmlwr of yards is one million five hundred twenty-eight thousond and eight hundred, 48 inchts ill width, T .'-: , '. This order was wnt in to the Odell Manufacturing Company and this company is now running lots of looms on this great big job. We can hardly conceive of the size of the amount, without comparison. To lay it out between here uiul S ifburv, our neighbor on the north, it would go to bahsbury fourteen times, and then have a piece long enough to reach from here to Mt. Pleasant, Commissioner Bruner Lsoking Up Ex hibits. Charlotte Observer, sotfc iilt. Mr. T. K. Bruuer. secretary of the State Board of Agriculture and North Carolina's commissioner of exhibits at the World's Fair, was in the city yes terday, looking up some material for the State's mineral dipl:iy. He was just from Statesvil'le, where he secured from J. &. D. Stephenson the promise of about a dozen specimens from this gentleman's elegant collection, and while here secured some specimens from Prof. Hanna's collection at the mint. As a matter of course the State's exhibit in all lines has long ago been secured and, as Observer readers know, a large part of it bus 1 already gone forward the trip that Mr. Bru ner is now making is in the nature of a supplemental excursion, to find what ever may le found for addition te the display. He has, since he undertook this collection, done immense labor, and it could be gathered from hi con versation yesterday that he is satisfied with the result. The Observer under takes to say that no North Carolinian will need bl'.ish for the figure his State will cut at the great fair. Mr. Bruner leaves earl v next month for Chicago to remain until the expo sition closes in November. He and Mr. Peter M. Wilson will be in charge of the North Carolina exhibit, and it could not be in Letter hands. These gentlemen have been to Chicago re peatedly during' the past few months, arranging for space and for the plac ing of the exhibit. Mr. Wilson has already gone forward to take charge, pending Mr. Bruner's arrival. Raising Horses on the Farm. It is at this season that the question of the kind of horse that is to b rais ed on the farm must be determined. Whether or not it is best to hare all of the mar-s foal in the spring rather than in the fall has not been fully de termined, but the general practice is to have the mares bred reasonably ear ly in the spring. At the outside il should be remembered that-it costs iv more to raise a goyd hore one that i in demand in the m:;rket than it dot- to rake a poor one that is hard to sell at anything like a f..ir price. It shoe!'' rlso be remembered that the horse th.t might be best to raise, especially fjr the farm, is not always the one that will bring th highest price or re turn the most profit whtn marketed What is usually c nsidred the last horse for the farm is often too light to be sold as a good draught horse, and will be too heavy to suit the customer that wants a coach or saddle lions. Ou most farms it should be remem bered that it is only iuexcept ioual cases that it will pay to keen a gelding on the farm until he is worn tout. A good mare may la; kept because in ad dition to the work she will do she will also raise a good colt. A good plan is to have brood mare? the main dependence on the farm for work teams and breed them to a good horse either tor a good roadster or a draught horse. When the colts are past 2 years old they can be broken to do light work. This can be gradually increesed as they become accustomed to it. From this time on until they are 5 years old they ought to do work enough to pay for their keep, while they will be growing in yalue. They ought to be fully ready for market by the time they are 5 years old. Then they can be sold to good advantage and bv that time another younger team cau be ready to take their places. T A 1 1 .1 .1.. it is largely oy tins plan that rais ing horses on the farm can be made most profitable. It is essential to se lect good mares for breeding, and then breed a good horse. 'While perhaps the sire is of the most importance, yet, no matter how good he may be, the best grade of coalt3 will not be secured unless good care is taken in selection of the dams. A good plan is to se lect the best of fillies, and when 2 years old breed them to a good , horse. In this way a decided improvement is made in the quality, not only of the horses raised for market, but those kept on the farm at a very small cost. While there is little or no market for the average run of horses, areally good horse will sell readily at a good price, anoV this is, of course, the kind of a horse to raise, The Republic. r,,, . - " r i ' i .
