From our reyul&r correspondent.
Hurrah for the Democratic adminis
tration: It has proren itself to be the
master, not the servant, ot Wall street,
and the government still lives, and the
Treasury continues and will continue
to pay out gold to all who- may de-ire
il. for Treasury notes. A greater finan
cial triumph was never acliievpd by any
administration. It marks the begin
ning of.a new era, in which the Presi
dent of the United Slates and the Cab
i net w i 1 1 die tate -our n at io n al fi a a n clal
iwlicy, instead of Laving it done from
Wall street, as it' lias been dene already
too long for the good of the country.
The Wall street crowd invited the
knock-down blow they received. See
ing that b inkers all over the country
were following the lead of those of the
South and West in furnishing the
Treasuryvwith gold the Wall gtreeters
got together and formulated a proposi
tion in which they agreed to furnish
the Treasury with from $30,000,000 to
350,000,000 in gold, but the proposi
tion had a string tied to it in the shape
of a proviso that bonds should be issued
for their gold. Other bankers turn
ed their gold into the Treasury with
out question, -because of their con6
dence iu the government, which they
thought iu need of the gold to tide
over a "temporary difficulty, but the
Wall street Shy lucks wanted their
pound of flesh in the shape of intere&t
on the bonds to be issued before they j
would turn loose the gold lying idle in
their vaults. It did not tike Presi
dent Cleveland ami the Cabinet three
minutes to formulate an indignant re
fuHul, which waj wired to New York.
Later, another proposition, less exact
ing, was -received, but it also was
promptly ejected. It must by this
time be evident to even the most obtuse
observer; that the financial motto of
this administration i., "No Wall street
domination."
The prenr condition of the Treas
ury is, under the circumstance.-',' sativ
factory. and if the offers of gI;l con
tinue to be as freelv niuile as thev bave
been for the pa t week it is believed
i that tbere will be no necessity for the
i.-stie of bonds, and even if tiie demand
for gold shall continue to increase, the
j reserve fund, at pr-ttent intact, wilT be
drawn upon to meet it until it. becomes
certain that it will be oxhau.-teil, be
fore bonds will be iued. PreMileut
Clevelaud and Secretary Carlisle are
'b)th fully determined that no bonds
shall be issued iJuril it shall have been
fullv demonstrated that nothing else
will furnish the relief needed, and

North Carolima Gems.
Wesiern Sen'.loel-
It has betn said that every gem
known to the lapidary has been found
in the United States. Certain it is
that by far the largest variety of the
gems found in this country are found
in North Carolina. The discovery of
ennruld and hiddenite iu Alexander
county sever.d years ago has given
rise to a new industry of incalculable
vulue to the State, and the search for
gems, though limited by lack of facili
ties, has already attained considerable
proportions.
A list of the more important gems
includes diamond, hiddenite, emerald,
Aquamarine, ruby, sapphire, kyanite,
rock crystal, opal, agate, garnet, zircon,
amethyst, uud topaz. Hiddenite is an
emerald green variety of spodumene
found at Stony Point, Alexander coun
ty, where it occurs in the soil and iu
cavities in gneissoid rock. It was
named after Mr. Win. E. Hidden, of
New Jersey, by Prof. J. Laurence
Smith, who identified the mineral. To
the energy of Mr. Hidden is due its
introduction as a irem of commercial
value. Seciuieus of the Tiative crys
tal were, hwwever, iu the possession of
Mr. J. A. D. Stevenson, of Statesrille,
N. C, for several' years prior to this
time, (1SS1).
Thirteen small diamonds have been
found in the gold bearing gravel bed
of the State.
The ruby, sapphire, topnz, amethyst,
and aquamarine, are all corundums of
different colors. Ametlnst quartz ra
ries in color from wry light blue to
very dark purple. When heateil, it
turns yellow and much of the yellow
quartz or topaz is manufactured by
beating amethysts.
Fine leryls of varied colors and
great beauty are abundant, and lovely
rock crystals of enormous size are
found in Ashe county.
Tiffany and Co. utiliz- many North
Carolina aquamarines and beryls, and
iu their Blue Book for 1893 is given a
list of useful and ornamental, articls
which they make from rock crystv.1.
Among these are jewel oases, bonbon-
nieres, vinaigrettes, hand mirrors, clock
cases, and various small objects of art.
They also use gems of lesser value for
belt buckles and parasol handles.
Rings set with birth mouth atones
maintain their popularity, and, strange
enough, ten out of the twelve gems
fttirerstitiously ascribed to the months
of the vear are found iu this State.
Another pretty conceit is that of hav
ing names, mottoes, and iuitais spelled
iu precious stones.
A dispatch from Chicago says that
Thomas Ed isou has finally announced
the nature of his individual exhibit.
It is the kinetograph, lhe last ot his
wonderful inventions displayed in con
nection with the most versatile group
of phonographs ever brought together.
It is to the eye what the phonograph
is to the ear, a mechanical retina,
which stores away a living picture, to
be reproduced in all its actions, every
movement faithfully shown at any
time and iu any place. With the
kinetograph it is possible to show in
Chicago Chauncey Depew delivering a
speech aboard the flag ship Chicago in
New York harbor. Not a p'.iotograph
of arrested action, but the living man,
his every gesture, the play of expression
on his face and the movement of his
lios. It will transmit and reproduce
motion of auy kmd for any distance.

What a Bewtpaper-Is.
Some people do not properly esti
mate the value and importance of the
newspaper. How many families are
there in which you find none, not even
the county paper, which every one
ought to read, and for which few wen
are real I V Inn nruw f r no r- If m..1roa
a: it ...
rence whether you like the ed
itor or not, or whether the paper re
flects your individual ideas of politics,
religion, economic and social questions,
there cannot fail to be much that will
interest and benefit you in the course
of a year's reading. As some one has
truly said, the newspaper is the cheap
est thing a man can buy and will pay
the biggest returns for the amount in
vested in the long run. It costs les
than a postage stamp; less than to
send or receive a siugle letter. What
good does it do you ? It instructs you
and broadens your views. It interests
your wife and it educates your chil
dren. It conies to you every week, raiu
or shine, calm or storm, bringing you
news of the busy world. No matter
what happens, it enters your door every
week as a welcome friend, full of sun
shine and cheer and interest. It opens
the door of the great world and puts
you face to face with its people and its
great events. It shortents the long
summer days and it enlivens the long
winter nights. It is your adviser, your'
gossip and your friend. No man is
just to his children who does not give
them a good pajier to read. No man
is good to himself and his wife who
does not take a newspaper, and the lo-
cal county paper should claim his at-
teutiou, challenge his admiration, and
commund his support first. j

La Grippe.
The mortality from the grip has, it
appears, beeu so great as to place it
among the most deadly of the plagues
which have visited this sphere. In this
connection the New Yoik Sun recent-
ly made the following startling esti-
mates, based upon a report of the New
York board of health, to the effect that
in New York State there had been 21,
000 deaths from the grip, while in the
country at large there have been over
300,000. "Assuming," says that jour-
nal "that the average mortality from
the grip throughout the earth was no
higher than it is estimated to have been
in the United States, let us attempt to
e .1 1 1. '
approximate the number or ueau.s m
the human family, from that disease,
' .a .
iic jt
If 300,000 persons out of 03,000,000
died, how many of the earth's 1,500,
000,000 were carried off? These are
und numbers, but they are accurate
enough for the purpose of a rough es-
ro
timate. It is an easy problem by the
old rule of three, and the answer comes
out in the shape or tnese appaiim k
I il ll". C.
ures: If all the world suffered from the
grip as the United States suffered, ac
wording to the best estimate, more tuan
7,000,000 persons died of that unpre
eeden ted plague. But, in order to
surely within bounds, let us make au
allowance of 50 per cent, for rrors.ithi building. This null 3-iU4opin-and

Famous Suicides.
Balmaceda, the fallen president of
Chili, alter the revolution which re
sulted in the overthrow of his govern
ment, took refuge in the house of a
friend; but, finding every avenue of
escape closed, shot himself rather than
surrender to be torn in pieces by the
enraged populace.
Sardanapalus, the luxurious Oriental
monarch, finding himself hard pressed
by hjs enemies, gathered his guards,
his wives, concubines, and children,
together with all his treasures, and set
fire to the building, thus thwarting the
hope hifoes entertained of taking him
alive.
Judas Iscariot, after casting down
the thirty pieces of silver in the tem
ple, departed and went and hanged
himself. Whether the suicide occurred
on the same day or not is a matter of
doubt, one or two of early Christian
writers intimating that he lived for
many years after the crucifixion.
Gen. Boulanger shot himself on the
grave of his mistress, a woman of large
means, who had devoted all her wealth
to forward his political schemes. Af-
ter her death, finding his political pros
pects blighted, he was unable to sup-
port the burden of life without her,
