Hoar's Chastisement. Very rarely indeed in the course of legislative events does it fall to the nnhappy lot of any participant therein to receive' so terrie a)iin ishment as was administered to Senator Hoar. And not only Mr. Hoar, but the St; re of Massachu setts, its represented' in his person, was made the recipient of a chas tisement which' she' would have es caped had it not been invited by the folly of her Senator. Hypocri sy and self-righteousness shonld learn, from the lesson given' by -Mr. Vance, that there are limits beyond winch they will not be -su tiered to vaunt themselves. Mr. Hoar's re ply -would have excited pity if he had beeti less deserving of the lac eration he had received. As it was- he failed to win sympathy or command respect. ' Honking Antiphonally.

About this there can be little doubt, for we all especially desire to hear y to see or to feel "Crank brothers 'lonk antiphonally." ".What, "honk ng antiphonally" is well uo mat ier. No matter neither, why th.se loukers-antiphonally liave so sig lificant a name. What do we live br, if not to learn? Yet we are rady to bet on 'em.

And no niitter what "honking antipho naly" is, if we can b6at the world a tit, the point is gained; and of eoirse tJ,e Old State isn't going to be nit honked. "Chronicle."

He is one of the most coul-blooded and deliberately selfisii men ever known iu public life, lie has never been known to make u Ih'ht for a friend. Hehas studiously avoided favoring any of his Vermont people in any way, and by snubbing them thoroughly has deeply impressed them with the fact that he is too great a man to waste his time considering per sonal favors. This course seems to please the grim citizens of the rock-ribbed (h'eeu Mountain State.

A Rich, Rare and Racy Mortgage The following is a true copy "of a mortgage' on lile: "I, John Hando, of the county of Pitt, ill the State of North Carolina, am indebted to Jim Taker, of the State and county aforesaid, in the sum of twenty six dollars, for which he holds my note, to be due on tin 11th day of Janu ary, 184," and to secure the payment of the same I do hereby convey to him these articles of personal property, to-wit: myself, to work with him long enough to pay this debt. But on this special trust, that it 1 tail to pay-said debt rite away, then he the said Taker, or his assign, may sell meat the court house door, for credit or cash as he thinks best, after giving twenty days public notice at three public places,. and apply the proceeds of such sale to the dischcharge o.'said debt and interest on'tha same .and cost and expenses of making such sale, and pay the surplus, if any, to me. under my hand and seal, this the 14th day of Jan. 184 " Greenvijle Reflector..

A Chicago irishman house stands w ithin two feet of tin Northwest ern railroad track, and the -other day a projecting timber on a freight train knocked one of the walls down. Burns wanted pay for the damage, but' the.' company would give him nothing. Then he set- ladder half across the track, climed in) and began to brush. Pretty soon a passenger strain came up. stopped, and after an exchange of profanity, Burns declared that he had a right to paint his house, and pulled out a pistol and promised to shoot the engineer .'if he-opened a valve. Seven trains were soon blocked, officers came ami argued and threatened, but all to no pur pose, ihe Celt' was on ins own ground, and it was not sale to dis turb him, and a round sum in bank bills had to be counted out-.'before he won hi leave the ladder. A Big Eater. The Washington "Gazette" says. It is said that ii resident of Black i Jack, Pitt county, came to tow n fast week, and entering one of our restaurants, inquired the price of a square meal. '.The -accommodating landlord told him "that "if cents would fill the bill. The hungry man then commenced the onslaught. He ate a pair-of shad, one dozen biscuit, one quart of oysters, live herrings, one pound of beefsteak and moistened the whole with six Cups of coffee. With a broad smile of satisfaction he arose and coolly informed the proprieter that heou ly had 1.1 cents in his pocket. This was undoubtedly more -.than -poor human nature could -stand. The old woman who kept the restau rant suceumed to misfortune from that moment. - She passed a sleep less night and early next morning made an unconditional assignment, without meferred creditors.

Au intelligent observer, writine from Rowan county, says : I will give you my views on the stock law in this county. In the first place I was opposed to it when it was adopted. I did everything jKissible to obstruct it and prevent us gaining ground and covering uie eurire county, l carried t,h first case on the subject to the Sn preme court, but I lost it. I am now a strong advocate of the stock law. It works like a charm in Rowan. "News-Observer." Raising Cows. It pays to keen good cows and make good butter, savs a letter to the Elizabeth City "Carolinian.'' "We ha ve four cows. From them, during the year 1883, we made 550 pounds of butter: and from the milk and butter not used in the family, and the use of $30 worth of grain, we made 1,100 pounds of pork. The butter at thiity-five cents was worth $192.50: the nork at seven cents was worth $77.00; total $269.50. During the winter, in addition to the-; fodder which the manure made richly paid for we fed $20 worth of grain. In the summer the cows were kept in pasture. The better yen feed butter-making cows in the winter, the greater win oe me returns from them in the summer." Best Farming county. The "Farmer & Mechanic" says. "It is the best farming county in the State !" cried the Doctor from Seaboard, in a tone of conviction, to a car-full of listeners. "In Edgecombe they do things by sys tem. Negroes go to work at the tiij) of a bell. Labor is regulated by an understanding among plant ers. Approach the county from any side and you discover the as cending volumes of Iand-clearine smoke! Every fence bonier is clean as a parlor ! Every farm has its compost heap. And mere are men like Eayner Thigpen, who make 1,200 bales of cotton. Oh! it's a great county! Whereas my county the home of a Ransom, a Bragg, and a, well several others ! is the equal of Edgecombe, only we don't manage our labor, and the darkey drifts from door to door 'seeking whom he may devour !" Our Farmers. This is the season of the year when according to the custom ev erybody wants to tell everybody something about farming. The man who does not know how to harness a horse to a plow, can tell just as much as any one. The only excuse we offer for mentioning the matter is that it is customary, and the additional fact that we served a full apprenticeship of seven years. There are many popular fallacies current among our farmers. Fore most probably we ought to place that in regard to manures. Some of our farmers will buy a ton of gu ano for forty dollars, put it on 20 acres in cottou. To see whether the manure pays he leaves a -row without the fertilizer, tries it by actual picking and weighing, he finds that the yield is greatly in creased, enough to pay for the gua no several times. It - never occurs to him that there is uo fairness in this test, but he concludes at once that money thus invested will come back and bring a very large per cent. His means of raising mauure at home are neglected because this is such a good thing. The bones from the table are burnt or thrown to wert bless dogs. The ashes are poorly cared for. It woald be far better to kill the dogs and take them with all the bones and mix it in barrels with the ashes and occa sionally wet with the water used for washing the clothes of the fam ily, heveral barrels of this guauo can be made during the vear that will pay a. much larger profit than any commercial fertilizer. We do not mean to oppose the use of com mercial manures, but we wish to see mbre of the home-made article. Money can be saved by buying the chemicals and mixing them at home. Careful attention to the hen roost will give a much larger amount of manure than one would at first suppose. Vhere twenty or thirty fowls are kept, a one horse wagon load of leavess ought to be used every, month. ' They will all be decomposed by the planting sea son, and will prove a very fine ab sorbent of manure that would oth erwise be lost. Only a few things can be mentioned here, but these are the little leaks that sink the ship with many farmers. The farmer that can raise the greatest amount ot mauure is the most suc cessful farmer. Tne Exposition Building. Yesterday a reporter was per mitted to have a look at the plan of the Exposition building, and a pretty one it is, and a serviceable, strong affair the structure will be. The buildings form a square, .each front being 300 feet in length. In each front there is a large .en trance. There are rows of windows, and between each of these rise a flag staff. Each of the angles is pleasingly broken by a low tower with four turrets, from each of which rises a flagpole. Over the fonr great entrances there are neatly designed ornaments to further break any monotony in the linesof the great building is sixteen feet, the framing of the roof gives an addition of nine feet, making the height from the floor level to the centre ot the roof 25 feet. The building is in size equivalent to, one,45feet wide by 1,220 feet in lengtb. In each of the . fonr inte rior angles is a great court-yard. There will be 150 or more windows The aim has been to obtain the maximum of light and air, and the result promises to be most suc cessful. The boilding is. one that exhibitors will like, and which will answer all the varied requirements at a minimun of cost "News and Observer." Sensible Talk Abont Bangs. By the by, it is rumored that bangs are surely goiug out of fash ion this spring, and that the hair will be worn brushed plainly back from the forehead. While bangs are not necessary for women who possess low, pretty foreheads, thev are an absolute necessity for wo men who possess high ugly fore heads. There can be no denying the fact that when the hair is ar ranged .prettily aud becomingly over the forehead, it greatly soft ens the outlines of the face, and lends au additional charm to it. It is all nonsene for people to say that the most sensible women wear their hair brushed smoothly back from their brows. The most sensi ble women are those who know what is becoming to them. If they look well with their hair banged or curled they wear it so; if they do not they fail following the prevail ing fashion and dress their hair plainly. The Grecian knot has gone entirely out of fashion except for street wear. It Is almost im possible to wear the hair on the top of one's head wit h the f ashion able hat of the period. Very few ornaments are worn in the hair. Those that are worn are mostly silver' or amber hairpins. Ameri can "Queen." . ' , Josh Billings on infidelity, i t Impudence, ingratitude, iguo rance and cowardice make up ths kreed ov infidelity. Did you ever here ov a'' man's renouncing Christianity on his death bed, and turning infidel? Gamblers, nor free -thinkers, hasen't faith enough in their profession to teach it to their children. No atheist, with all his boasted bravery, haz ever yet dared to advertize his unbelief on hiz tuine stun. tlt iz a statistakal takt that the wicked work harder to reach hell thai the righteous do to enter heaven. I uotiss one thing: when a man don't devil than gets into a tite spot, he never send lor hiz friend the to get him out. 1 had rather be au ideot an infidel: if I am an infidel, I have made miself one; if an idet 1 waz made so. I have never met a free-thinker yet who didn't belive a hundred times more nonsense than he kan find in the Bible ennywlu re. ..It iz aluss safe to follow the religious beleaf that, our "mothers taught us there never waz a mother yet who taught.; her child to be an infidel. A man may learn infidelity from books and fiom hiz asso biates but ho kaut learn it from hiz mother nor the works ov God that sur rounds him. If au infidel conld only kom prehend that he kan trove more bi hiz faith than he kan reason, his impudence would lie mutch less offensive. . Unbeleavers are aj!wus. sn reddv and anxious to prove their un beleaf, that 1 hay thought -they mite be just a leetle doubtful about, it themselfs.

When I -hear a nozzy inUdel proklaiming his uubeleaf. I wonder if he will send for a brother infidel to hum and se him die, I guess not.. He will be mor likely to send for the orthodox man who engineers the little brick church just around the korjier. ' . "Safe Her! Sne is My Wile !" Marital affection is a. ''beautiful things and every fresh exhibition of its tenderness, affects us to tears. A wife possibly an old wife on a certain occasion fell" overboard. The husband rushed frantically about the deck, literally tearing his hair out by the handful and crying in the most beseeching tones, "For heaven's sake, save her, save her ; she is my wife !" The noble sailors thought of their own sweethearts and ran all risks, and at hist brought the poor woman into the cabin of the swooning husband. The look of gratitude he gave them fully repaid them.; for all their ef forts. Then recovering his equa nimity he thrust his hand into his wife's wet jKicket, pulled out a somewhat plethoric purse, and with infiuite relief said: "Old wo man, the next time you tumble overboard just leave that purse be hind, will you?

BILL ARP'S TALK. :o:- II E WANTS MR. TILDES NOMI NATED FOR PRESIDENT. PRESIDENTIAL CHAT. Making a president is a right big thing. It is a kind of - special privilege that belongs to these American people .'.and; one that the subjects of kings and queens and emperors do not have. 1 don't think the privilege amounts to much so far as 'the common rim of folks is concerned, for they have precious little to do with it, aud don't know what is going on until the thing has happeued. A com mon man knows that two men are runuing, but he don't understand the machinery that set s them np and pitted them against one an other. Cobe swears that he never voted for a president in his life, and -wauted to know of me who elected 'em. When I told him how it was and all aliout the electoral college, "Well," said he, "I do recom member voting fora passel of fe'.lers, and the folks told me it was agiust General, Grant and Sherman and all them fellers what come along here and btirut us out, and that's all 1 wanted to know about itf" N "Rut," said l)"ym voted for General HancocSonr years ago, and he w as a yankee general and fought us like blazes." , "Haneock Hancock!" said he. "I reckon not, 'squire. I never voted for a Hancock bnt once iu my life and that vas for constable, and he got beat, aud the other fel low got hold of a little, judgment against me aud levied on my truck outen spite, and I haiut voted for a constable since; and here the other day I went al ter my fodder that I left over yauder when I move, and an infernal constable had that levied on for rent. I paid all my last year's rent but five dol lars, and disfurnished my family, and them folks said they would wait on me till next crap - for that, and 1 thought it was all settled, but one of them uew-fashoued 'squires that they call a notorious republic got out a writ of rouster against me for the Tittle dab of rent, and now I reckon the cost is about as much as the deb't don't you!" "I'm afraid it is," said I. "I tell you what's a fact, 'squire," said he, "I've been livin' here nigh onto 30 year, and I never knowed any good to come of these courts and these constables and sheriffs, aud all sich. All they do is to slip around aud take all underholt and underwares of si poor feder jest for a little dab of costs. 1 never had a otlis in" my life; I never even warn ed the hands to work oil the road, but I've had to dig for 'a livin' "all my life, and . now it looks like I'm jest obleeged to have that -fodder' for this here mule, for she made" it and she are entitled' to it." jT Well, Cobe got his fodder and that was a bigger thing -with him than making a president, but still most everybody likes to be consult ed even, if they (tou t have a hand in the business. ' Itj helps a man to be called -on for his opinion and his preference. There is a heap of ci vilify in sending a man around .to' interview- the "sovereigns. These little attentions don't cost any thing, and it's like putting axle grease on the wagon, for it makes things run sinooth for a little while. It's a kind of compliment and swells iii a lean man a little, and makes a fat one square himself with digni fied satisfaction. It is like sending out seed and pud-docs to the hum ble people,.' for it flatters the whole family -and makes them think they are not utterly forgotten, Hud are of some little coifseqnence to some body. '" ' Well, nobody has been to see me yet about this presidential bust ness, and I'm suffering for taft'y, but you can telegraph Jo the rew York Herald (hat Bill. Arp is for Tilden and that he w ill say in Sun day's "Constitution" that he wants him nominated by acclamation and elected bv the nation for its own salvation. For the truth is, if pa triots don't unite on reform in the; government, the great American nation will go tb the dogs. I'm for Mr. Tilden because he lias gut re form on the brain.' He cleaned out the augciin stable iu New York, and knows how to do it. lie fought corruption single handed and whip ped the fight. He never talks about the tariff or the Mormons, or Bismarck, or the heathen Chinese, butj he talks about iniquity iu high placed, and corruption, and thieves and plun derers. He'is a man they swindled out of the presidency, because they i were afraid of him. And if he is nominated again -they will spend millions to defeat him for the same reason. Mr. Tilden says when he ran before that the federal govern ment could be administered safely and well for one-half it was then costing, and he would pledge him self to do it -if sustained 'by con gress. That is what the people want. They want reform. Why, according to the committees re port, the whole blessed y ankee na tion is onthe pension list, aiid the pensioners have quit dying and are just living on and on forever. In fact they get more, thicker, more denser every year. I traveled with a man the .other day and as he looked but of the car window at a merchant . mill on a river, he said: Why don't you ietf- j pie put iu for an appropriation for! falls like those, and build up a big ! manufacturing town ? Then he ex- j plained how the eople of Mineapo lis got their member of Congress to put their river on the j)ension roll for a hundred thousand dollars to clean it out and make it navigable, and as it whs impossible to do that they spent the money in making it more perpetually unnavigable, for !... ,4- of Sf "i An. thonv's Falls and weather-boarded the river at an angle of 45 X grees, and then built up their big flouriug mills alongside, and ever since they got the river on the roll they have been drawing fifty thous and dollars a year to open it up to navigation, aud the money is spent in working on the dam and fixing up for more big mills and now they have got more mills than any city in the world and turn out thirty thousand barrels of flour every day, except Bunaay, ana are going to do it Sunday when Bob Ingersoll gets elected president. That is the way they do things up north, said he, ana you ioiks uown south are be hind the age. But the like of that is nothing. It only shows the common idea, and that is plunder, and now when our folks want a little pension mon ey for the Mexican veterans they raise a halabaloo all over the north and say, "Look out, them fellers down south are trying to get their paws in the treasury." 1 want Mr. Tilden becauso he don't hanker after the office and won't make any bargains to get it. Most all our statesmen nowadays are intriguers, and they form their syndicates for office just like rail road men do for systems and lines that are to break down other lines, and it is all on the idea that you can't accomplish anything ! by an open, square straight -up and down policy. When Uncle Sammy gets in Til bet he makes his own cabi net, and nobody else will have a hand iu it. I want him because he will give dignity to tho office and to the American nation and the government. He wouldent ap prove any such fool resolution as Tom Ochiltree got through on the sly about Lasker. I'm on Bis marck's side about that and think he d id exactly right. I want Mr. Tilden because he is entitled to it by courtesy, and I would give it to him if I thought he would die in two weeks after he was inaugerated. .1 expect. he will die before his term is out, and I want a firstclass man put on the t icket with him. None of your ac cidencys like we have had. In fact, the. vice president's office is loom ingn up, for the presidents most all die nowadays, or get killed. Since can reinemler four have died soon after they got in, and auother never got in at all When the con vention meets; they ought to look into the V. 18 office mighty close and give us tho. best man iu the party if they know him. It wont do to holler for Tilden all the time. It wont . do to act like he was the only man that was fitten. for we have got several and are proud of cm. v e have got faith in 'em. and faith is a good thing. When James K. Polk was nominated my friend, Umberg, met me on the street inn crowd aud heard the news, and he threw up his hat aud said, "he is. the very mau the very best man. Hurrah ! for and then he stopped and said, "what did you say his name was !" aud when I told him he shouted, "hurrah for Yaraes Kaypuck- -he is der man." That is the kind of faith to have, aud if every democrat hail it we could elect Mr. Tilden like a daisy. and keep him alive in the bargain. His time is most out. according to nature, but then thev say he is from a long lived family, and that he still notices pictty women with alacrity and brightens up smartly when they come about. That's a good 'sign. At least it is a sign that he is willing to live. Bill Arp. Is it Safe to Dance? A great deal can be said about dancing; for instance, the chief of KIice of New York City says that three fourths of the abandoned girls ot thatcity were ruined by dancing Young ladies allow i gentlemen privileges in dancing which, taken under other circumstances, would lie considered improper. It rv ."quires neither brains nor good morals to be a good dancer. As the love, of one increases, the love of the other decreases. How many of the best men . aud women are skillful dancers! In ancient times the sexes danced separately. Alco hol is the spirit of beverages, fio sex is the spirit of the dance; take it away and let the sexes -'.dance separately, and dancing would be out of fashion very soon. Parlor dancing is very dangerous. -.-Tippling leads to drunkenness, and parlor dancing leads to ungodly balls. Tippling and parlor dancing sew to the wind, and both reap the whirl-wind. Put dancing in the crucible, apply the acids, weigh it and the verdict of reason, morality and religion is, "Weighed in the balance and found wanting." Ex- The Saiing Power OT Marriage. I have noticed that a married man falling into misfortune is more apt to retrieve his" situation in the world than a single one, chiefly le cause his spirits are smoothed and relieved by domestic endearments, and self-resM?ct kept alive by find ing that, although abroad iu dark-lie-s ami humiliation, yet there Is still a little world of love at home, of which he is monarch."

Those disasters which break down the spirit of man, and pros trate him iu the dust, neem to call forth all the energies of the softer sex, and give such interpidity and elevation to their character that at times, it approaches sublimity.

New York, March is. A young woman frantically cluing to a coach door aud screaming iu the most heart-rending uianuer alarm ed the neighltorhood of Fourth ave nue and One Hundred and Twenty fifth street about midnight! A crowd soon gathered, shutters were flung open and eople apcared at windows of neighboring houses. An elegantly dressed woman w it b her hands clasped in entreaty and a prosperous looking man with flash, ed face were the occupant or the vehicle. The man was striving to loosen the girl's hold uimui the door. Au officer hurrried to the scene, to find the young worn au almost ex hau8ted, but still deseratcly cling, ing o the carriage door. The frantic girl, proved ! Ie the ser- vaut of the mau in th co.u ii. ami his companion was, his -bride' of a few hours. "She is crazy," explained tiit- man, "take her away." Still the servant inaintiiiiil'd her hold. The -officer cant ionslf eon eluded to take all coneerncd'to the station-house, despite the entrea ties of the bride and groom. ) To the sergeant at the police sta tion the man told his story. It was to the effect that he unit his bride were married that night at the resi dence of the lady, and had gone to the livery stable to start on their wedding journey, when; the girl, who was Frida Stadler, a (iermaii, preventing them by clinging to the coach door. She had been the scr- vaut of the groom until his mar. riage. The groom gave his name as Ferdiuand lirunn. The girl meanwhile had become very faint and her limbs refused to support her. As she was placed at the desk she nodded .assent to these statements and added Unit she had taken K)isoii because her employer had married that night and that she wanted to die if she could not go with him. Fulling suddenly in a heap, her strength gave Way entirely. She said nbc had saved up $HK add wished it to be used in burying her decently. In the sight of the sergeant and wedding party she lost her ihmiM'k and fell into a stiior that wnx onp posed to lie death. The sergeant telegraphed, for mi ambulance, and, finding no caue to detain the bride and groom, al lowed them to take (heir coach and start on their sadly interrupted wedding journey. The bride was greatly shocked, and, wept as she went out leaning on her husband' arm. - Upon the arrival, of the am bulance the apparently lifeless hl was hurried to the Ninety-ninth street hospital. Vigorous restora tives and a stomach pump, revived her at that institution. The poison proved to Ik) oxalic acid. '-About-noon to-day the girl had MillHeut ly recovered to tell her story.
