One of the most curious inci dents iu the history of African slavery iu America is the life of Charles Stewart, a slave owned by the Johnsons of Virginia, and af terwards by the Porters of Louisi ana, both' of them noted as 'possessors of remarkable racing horses.

Morris, of Goldsboro, goes for the Baltimore "Herald" lor slandering Gen. Scales, in a card in the "Hay". He pointedly shows up the ignorance and maliciousness of the "Herald." Mr. George W. Charlotte, of Beaufort, who presided over the Republican convention that nomi nated Judge Pool for Congress last year, is heartily supporting Skin ner and the rest of the -Democratic ticket. i t The following county ticket was nominated in Beaufort: For the House, Win.

A Maine correspondent of the New York "Tribune" says the Ger mans are opposing Mr. Blaine be cause he is a teetotaller, and the Prohibitionists are fighting him be :ause he gives wine dinners in Washington.

The Mongrel party in" Virginia has split Gen. Mahone tin one side, and Gov. Cameron on the t her. In the Petersburg District the Mahone men nominated lor Congress a man named Brady, rev enue officer, ami Hie other wing of the mixed-inongrel-coiicern nomi nated ii negro named Evans. "When rogues fall out," &v A ' Wisconsin ' Democrat,. Gen. Bragg, said of Gov. .'Cleveland in the Cliicage convention: "We love him most for the enemies he has made." A Wiscousiu Republican, ex -Congressman Pound, says of Mr. Blaine: "He is objectionable, finiherniore, for the company he keeps and tor the friends he has made." That tells the story. The Democrats of Sampson coun ty, at their convention on Thurs day, renominated F- T. Boykin, Esq . for the Senate; Buck Hill for Sheriff; Josiah Robinson for Register and A.B. (Tiesniit tor Treasurer. Dr. T. J. Coo'er was nominated for Corouer and A.cLee for Survey or. Messrs. J. W. S. Robinson and J. A. Beamou, were nominated for the House. This is a good ticket aud will poll the full strength of the party. Statesville "Landmark": An in telligent citizen of a remote part of this county, talking politics iu the "Landmark" office a tew days ago, ventured the prophecy that Cleveland aud Hendricks will run further ahead oi the State aud lo cal Democratic ticket, in Iredell county, than any Presidential can didates have ever done before lie savs he knows a number of Re publicans iu his own neighborhood who will vote the Republican ticket this year throughout, as usual., ex cent at :he Presidential b ix, and there they ill vote the Democrat ic electoral ticket. The Republicans met in Raleigh on the 3d lust, touoniinate a candi- j date lor Congress in the 4th district. Onlv seventeen delegates were iu i attendance. Nash and Franklin were not represented. John W. Betts saw fit during tne organiza ti jii to tell Col. Shaffer he was a dammed liar and a dammed scouu- drel. Col. Shatter kept cool and told Betts if he w anted to apply his words to his own case he could do so. Shaffer had said any tool could see the plan was wrong. It was this that aroused the fire of Betts. No nominations were made. The matter was referred to the ex ecutive committee. j Prospects of Ihe anvass. j We have made careful inquiries j of well informed persons in several of the most important States East and West,Jas to the facts of the canvass so far as developed, aud the prospects in each of the States where this inquiry was made. The replies we have received surprise us as much as they gratify us. From Ohio we hear that the Democrats are fairly certain of sue cess. While they are united and meeting everywhere with promis ing results, the Blaine managers feel the cold wiud of popular dis favor. The Democrats do not boast that they will carry the State in October; but they believe they have an excellent promise of victo ry, and that if the Republicans carry.Ohio it will be by so narrow a vote as to make it substantially a defeat for . f hem. Some of our correspondents give such aualyses of the vote as make the prospect of a Democratic victory in Ohio iu Octolier much stronger than we have stated them aliove. Concerning Indiana, we have the most positive assurance that the State will certainly go for Cleve land by at least ten thousand. In both Ohio ami Indiana the numlier of Republicans who will vote against Blaine is found to be aston ishingly large, and sufficient in it self to tin. i the scale iu those States. Our reports show also that there is nowhere any considerable or marked defection from the Dem ocratic ranks, although bath iu Ohio and Indiana the Blaine peo ple are reported to lie courtiug and seeking the Irish vote. V roin Michigan we get confident reports that the State will be lost, to the Blaine ticket. Iowa, our private correspondent shows, is at least an uncertain State, with the probability that it wilt cast its electoral vote for Cleveland. There, too, great unm hers of Republicans are going to vote for Cleveland, aud the condi tion of the parties is such as to make the State this year probably Democratic. In Wisconsin the opposition to the Blaine ticket lielieve they will carry the State aud defeat Blaine and-Logan, and there are Blaine men who privately admit this to be very probable.. From all over New Eugland re ports reach us which show a state of politics very dangerous to the Blaine men. There are sanguine but well informed men in Massa chusetts who assert even that with faithful hard work that State can be carried for GoVtmor Cleveland, and they add that the effort will be made. From New llauipsh re Democrats write that they can car ry the State, unless the Portsmouth navy yard sweeps them. But they are conscious that they have a strong antagonist iu Secretary Chandler. Vermont, we are as sured, will east a Very greatly re duced Republican majority in No vember, though in the September election for Governor the Republi can candidate, who is a popular mail, is likely to poll the full vote of his p u ty. Connecticut is re garded as a doubtful State, with the chances iu favor of the Demo crats now ami a strong set of the tide toward them. In answer to numerous inquiries Irom other parts ot the country we will add that. New York and New Jersey appear-to be safe for Cleveland. The canvass in both States goes on energetically, and the rep.uts at headquarters leave so nme donor oi a lavoraDie re sult that these two States need not give uneasiness to Democrats else where or distract their atten tiou from their own localities New ork is well in hand, and those who are managing heie for the Democratic party are confident that they will show a good result in November. A survey ol the field; at this mo ment gives roniise ol a "tidal wave" in November against the Blaine ti.-ket. From all quarters reports come to vis ot very large and increasing Republican opposi tion to the Blame ticket ami much sinallei defection from the Demo- rat ic ranks than wasn't one time feared. There is, according to our reports, a spirit and a determina tion this fall among the voters everywhere which promise very iuiHrtant results a determina tion to "make a chauge" ami to see whether the ieole still control or whether the "machine'' politi cians really have the country by the throat. A coresiondeiit. from llli uois writes us: "If the people in the East could see what a revolu tion is going ou iu this State aud in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa, the friends of Cleveland every where would be greatly encour aged." One of the phenomena of the canvass, according to all the re ports we receive, is the lukewarm way in which Blaine Republicans are actingi lliey "will vote for Blaine, but they will not work- for him. ' they say; and this lack of enthusiastic support is sure to tell on the canvass. New York "Her ald." More In tbe Nan than in tbe Land. Mr. James P.

Sdow Hill "Telegraph." A Gander Story. A ''gander" story is giveu to the public by the Shelby "Aurora."' Wm. Hambrick. the aged post master, owns a white gander seven ty two years old ! Our contempo rary I uiasts, too, that this "gander" story can be proven that the aforesaid gander is of the first brood or hatching of a goose given by Mr. Uambrick's first wife's mother as a bridal present in 1811, and that the Hambrick couple has never raised or bought any geese since that day, and this patriarch gander only survives. 2ext. BILL ARP'S TALK.J"!er. -:o:- ENTERTAINS HIS FRIENDS ON PIG AND WATERMELON. THE TRICKS OF TRADE I wa jieeling some nice soft lieaches for diuner just to save Mrs. Arp the trouble, and get au approving smile, when suddenly she came up behind me and said, "William are your hands right clean," I held them up for her to look at as I remarked, "if they were not at first I reckon they are now." "It seems to me that some folks get more particular about such things as they grow older, and it takes more water aud soap aud whitewash and sweeping ami scouring than it used to. Maybe the appetite is not so good aud the spectacles magnify too much. 1 used to knock the ashes out of my pipe ou the piazza fioor and get a little dirt from my shoes on the bauisters and leave some dirty water in the pan at the back door, but I am gradually quitting these little things for the sake of being calm aud serene in my declining years. Cleanliness is a good thing. 1 kuow some good women who are mighty uigh sanctified already. But somehow Hike a little clean dirt scattered around just to enjoy the contrast when we do clean up. I don't think a man can enjoy a clean shirt until he gets one dirty. When I showed Mrs. Arp my tiu gers that the peaches had made so clean it reminded me of the veu erable Judge Hilly er, the old pa triarch, whom I used to venerate when 1 was a boy, for he was hand some and eloquent, and used lan guage with such precision and ac cent. He was always looking into the reason of things the why ami the wherefore and it he saw any thing strange he stopped and pe rused aud enquired until I:j got to the bottom of it. The first time he ever went t New York, Howell Cobb was his companion, and How ell had a hard time in getting the judge aloug, for he wanted to see everything aud kuow everything. "Now Howell" said be "just stop right here and tell me what that, is, and what it is for." "Howell do you suppose that all these people have got pressing business that hurries them along so I'astf" "How ell have you any idea what that store of Stuart's cost?" Cobb was hurrying him along a back street when the judge stopped, and look ing over a window screen into a room, saw the heads ami shoulders of two men going up ami down with a curious motion. His curi osity Was excited and says he, "Howell what are those men doing?" "Oh, 1 don't know, Juni us. Come along" said Howell. "We will never get to the hotel if we keep stopping to examine ev erything you see." "But Howell. I want you to look at those men. They -are engaged in something very peculiar, aud conscientiously, 1 would like to know w hat it is." Howell peeped Ihrougli au open ing in the screet and said, "Why Junius they are treading up dough in a trough, they are making bak er's bread. Don't you see?" The judge was amazed. He looked earnestly at. them as t lie v tramped the dough with their bare legs and feet, and with great, em puasis, said slowly and distinctly , "Howell, do you suppose their feet are cleanf" "I haveut a doubt of it Hillyer," said 'Cobb.' "I know they are clean by this time." And he hurried him along. Cobb said afterwards that the judge was very fond of baker's bread, but he noticed that he didn't eat any inoreol it in New York Bu; folks get tired of eating the same kind of yittles every day and in the same room and keeping off the same hies and kicking the same cat from uuder. the table, and so tbe other day 1 took a notion to change the programme. Mrs. Ail had tolu me many a tune that, febe had never eat any hai heem-d meat since she was; a child, and she thought then that it was the best meat she ever did eat. And so I got au old fashioned darkev who said, "Yes, boss, I used to bar be c ue meat for old master away back when Mr. Polk run agin Mr. Clay and old master and allot us tug gers was for Mr. Clay, aud we used to give barbecues aud have a pow erful time just lie tore de lection. 1 cleaned up the ground and trimmed the trees in a beautiful little sycauiore grove down by the branch, and I had a little pit dug, and we sacrificed a fat lamb and a fat pig and bung them up over night, and we hauled a hud ol bark ami stovewood ami the old daikey had a big lied of coals byplay light, aud had the meat ou and alter breakfast we built a table ami some plank seats ami put up a swing for the children aud swung the ham swung mock, and toted down some chairs aud lait everything iu shape for the company. Of course I iuvited Mrs. Arp first and foremost, ami then the kindred aud friends who are our welcome guests. The girls fixed up the vinegar and pepper ami butter to paste the meat with while it waa cooling, and they made an old fashioned Brunswick stew, and I roasted a lot of green corn in the shuck under the hot ashes at one end of the pit, and while every thing was in a weaving waj about twelve o'clock I blowed the horn for the company and about a score of tbem came: down and were de lighted with (he piospect and the place. Everybody seemed happy, especially the children, and Mrs. Arp organized herself a fasting committee of oue and in due time pronounced it all very good and ready for business. Gallant gen tlemen carved the odorous carcass es aud prepared it for distribution. The stew was declared splendid. I noticejl that the married women all flavored it with the tot onion sauce and it always seemed strange to me how soon after marriage a woman begins to love onions. Tbe -, wi a nncri. auu luicv rib. The libs are the best narf. of anything, ami I reckon that is why a woman is so sweet, for she was made of a rib while man 'was made of dirt. Well, we had a splendid after noon, aud wound it up with melous troin the spring, and then adjourn ed to the house feeliug all the bet ter for this little episode iu our daily life. LETTER NUMBEK TWO. We are pulling fodder now. hired two men to pull by the I've day and two to pull by the hundred bundles. 1 want to see which is Hie cheapest. But tliev get me anyhow, ami I can't help it. If they pull bv the day they don't make 150 good bundles apiece, which they ought to make at sev-erny-five cents a day and if they pull by the hundred they make over "00 bundles and some of ftieui are mighty light. But it is all right I reckon. They are watching me and I am watching them. It is the same bid siory capital against labor. There are tricks in all trades, a menu man can pay negroes iu bacon at filteeii cents a pound ami tlour at four when the cash would buy one at ten and the o:her at three, and he can cheat them twenty five per ceut. in the weights and. they will uerer know any better anil never ware. The Lord never made such an easy unsuspecting creature as a free nigger. There are white meu who take advantage of them and cheat them aud get their labor for their vittles aud clothes, but the darkey is sure of a living auyhow, for if he can't earn it he can steal it, so it is all right auyhow and the races keep about even. Some far mers are tricky too, when they take chickens to town the sickly ones are sure to go, and the best potatoes are put on top ol the bas ket. The richest pine is ou the outside of the load, and some rot ten com w ill get iu the su!ler when the meal is for market. The mer chant, has his tricks too. He will bait you wiih something for less thap cost and make it up on some thiug else at fifty per ceut. To keep up with hard competition he will sell you shoes with pasteboard soles ami nails that break in two under the hammer and shoddy goods of all sorts, for his customers want everything at. the lowest price whether it is good or bad, ami it is buckle and tongue wheth er the merchant can get ahead of his customers or they get ahead of him. One thing is certain, when the. merchant forgets to charge anything it is lost, forever lost. II lie makes a mistake in change or weight, or measure he hears of it if it is in his favor, ami if it is the other way maybe he don't. I don't know tor certain. The baker gives six loaves for a quarter instead of five, anil that satisfies Ins custom ers, MiOugh the five weighed lusi. as much as the six do now. If mv wife was to hear accidentally that. i merchant iu town told somebody that she had the prettiest aud best mannered (laughter in the com inanity she would go right there to trade and wouldn't jew bun down ou any thing. When 1 was a. young man 1 was a merchant tor several years, and .Mrs. Arp; that now is, used to come aud trade with me antr I fell in love with her across the counter, and I wis sorry the co niter was a wide as it was, aud she wa- sorry too, I reckon, ami I showed my devotion so tenderly aud said .such- sweet t hings that she used to come most every day and she done all the family trading aud some for the iiabors and never priced anything but just said so many y ards or so many pairs and I had liked to have got rich off of her before 1 married her, which was all right I reckon lor it kept the money in ihe family and no loss on our side. A store is a good thing to many on, that is a dry- goods store, bin the young man had better .own it if he wants to make a sure thing of his girl. Af ter lie marries the next best thing he can do is to sell out Ins store ami quit that sort of business, for a merchant s own tamily account breaks him olieiier than anything else, for if is so easy to send to the store and it does look so much like that things out of ones own store don't cost anything. I never kept store bill's! x mouths after I got married, but me ami my wife have kept other people's stores a going r the last thirty years, and they have doiie pretty well considering. But the highest fraud of all is iu the marrying business, and the man is guilty of it heap oftener than the woman. I'm not talking about the regular society woman in a town or a city, for I don't think that anybody can cheat her, she is generally an iceberg in a passel of tine clothes, anil she don't know how lo do anything tmt read novels aud visit, but the average girl who iua lies for love is oftener tooled than the average man. The time used to be when a iuan didn't j bey in to forget his j had lieeii married wife until he ten or fifteen years, but now he forgets her iu a few mouths and won't stay home ofuightsifhe can help it. Some nice sweet teniered young mar ried women may be seen now a days walking to the end of the pi azza about ten times iu fifteen minutes lookiug up the street for her husband, but he don't come hardly ever according to time. Folks didu't do that way in niy days, and my sort of folks don't do it yet. Mrs. Arp don't have to lookup the road lor me. I'm on t hand before she wants me. This i show s the effect of early training, ami so I'm obliged to advise the young womeu to break in their iiusbauds as soon as possible. Then there are the tricks of the lawyers that would fill a book aud are too tedious to mentii, and the tricks of the doctors and tbe politicians and the patent medi cine man. The editors help them last telle. s out and divide profits Well, it is a wouder that auy body has got anything, for it looks like most everybody 19 trying to get what everybody has got. ATERRIBLE PANIC -:o:- THE PEOPLE OF NEWBRUNS WICK, N, J , WILD WITH RAGE. MADDENED DEPOSITORS New Brunswick, N. J., Septem her 8. New Brnuswick is shaken to its centre. Bank examiner Shelly has discovered a deficit of over one uiiluou dollars iu the sur plus caau and securities. The town is wild. Mau rush ftantically to tbe doors of the National bank, only to be told that the business of tbe institution is sus pended for the, preseut. The Ira Voorbees estate is partially ruiued. Cashier Hill was left as the custodi an oi this estate aud of the bonds and sureties. He made away with them all. Over 79.000 was taken here. in the U- B. Adrian estate over $3U,0oOis gone. JVlahon Runyon, who committed suicide, bad 0,- 000 iu government bonds. Hill had negotiated for all of these and had consummated the matter some three days lie lore his death. Run you knew uotliiug oi inn s doings, trustiug him implicitly. The crash iu Wall street in May last took the bulk of Hill's stealings. Runyon, although quite popular, was ignorant ol the business. Me was a willing tool in the hands of the designing cashier, who had the run of the institution. v At 11:45 a. m. president Ruuyou drove up to the bank iu his car riage. He was ..ccompanied by his two daughters, "Uod bye, papa," said Julia, the eldest, leach ing out ot the carriage as Mr. Ruu you desceuded to the pavement, "I hope all wi' I be well." "11 you do not set) me before night," he re sMuded, "tell mamma 1 will stick to the bank."' Twenty minutes latter he sent chief Eitzg:rald, who was in charge ol , tlm bank, tor a copy of the New "Times," in which the story was told of his complicity iu lite bank's downfall. Securing the paper he went in to a room occupied by the orgauiz ing directors . anil began to read. A deathly pallor a, a end over his face ami Ihi exclaimed. "My (iod what will my children do!" Pass ing his handkerchief over his brow he threw the paier into the lap ol director Stoddard and excusing himself went into the toilet room of the bank. A minute later a fall was heard, fhe directors rushed to the closet and discovered the Ikm1 of Ruuyou ou the tioor. Blood was ozing from a gaping wound iu his throat. Determined on suicide, he had also cut his wrists deeply, the blood spurting against the wall and ceiling. The thousands of eople outside were horrified. "Shall we rai I the bank?" wast ly question which ag itated ti.e agonized depositors. Farmers bom the. country joined the throng and s'louled for their money. The police Hanked the Street and with dimVulty quieted the rising disturbance. At 1":10 one of the directors. Johnson Let i t sou, was reported ueati. investiga tion revealed tire I act that he had become exhausted mi account of the strain on his uervs. He was a heavy stockholder and hail deisisited trust funds. " jL'harle.v Davis a clerk of the bank, ho was reported dead, was found alive at 1.45 i. m. Martin A Howell, who witbd.-ew as director, said "I saw it coming. Charlie Hill was too liberal. The Republican party went to bun as a banker for lunds. He doubtless took ihe bank surplus to aid his friends, kuowing l lit condition of affairs, I quietly with drew." "Why did you not let the public kuow your suspicions f was advised not to do so f" -By whom f" "By the directors." The effect on the town is crushing The wildest excitement prevails The streets aie tluoiiged with coun try depositors. Fears ol a rani on the bank are increasing One huu died special policemen have been sworn in by the mayor to surround the bank proerty. The coroner's jury in the case of Mahlou Runyon's death returned verdict of -'willful filic ide." At o'clock, inside tin- bank acting cashier Cainpliell was seen. "What do y ou know?'' a reporter asked '1 am amazed and horiined over the affair- my heart's blond might have lieeii spilt for Charley, but when I see w hat is about to' occur, the tall of the whole institution, my heart bleeds." "Give me some thing laugible, will youf" l"Hill was never my cound ant; I under took some of his greatest nils sious." "Explain," said the re porter. "As a niesscuger to and from HaUgarteii & Co., New York, 1 have takeu money lor invest meut to them. 1 don't know the result. 1 have hail tears of Ihe preseut icsull for six months, but kept my month Hosed." "Why?" "Because I feared expulsion by the directors." 'Did you think Hill crookedf "Perhaps 1 might as well make a clean laeast of the whole affair. Well, Hill was too much Iwset by Hlitciaus. He ex 1 dently ruined hinisell by helping the Republican party, as well as iu Wall street and the races." "What else!" Some time sinew he wauled a newspaper. He put uioiiey in the bauds of Tiudell & Hose, to start the "Evening Star," a Republican paper, to denounce the manage ment of affairs by the Democrats. Hose kiped the city, owing to a libel suit. The paper went up and with it Hill's prospects of cpulari ty." Joseph Fisher, Sr., custodian of the Vooihees estate, refused to divulge whv he had not igned the release proffered by Hill when the sale ol bonds might have been ei fpcted.7" "No sir," belaid, -'Iain not such a rascal as to take a land ed estate Ixoni the Voorbees boy s and you wilt find ine always 011 the side of the weak."" "Was Hill in vour confidence?" No. no." he said. "Whatdovou know almnt this trouble ?" The question stai t- led him and be ell to tbe pave meut iu a faint. He was picked up aud carried home by the )olice. The sceue at the bank lieggars de scriptiou. "My God," exclaimed di rector Stoddard, "the whole city will go uuder. The city debt is now nearly 2.000,000, and the bank holds its papers. The savings banks have gone under and we have their capital." Was Mahlou Ruuyon about to be arrested!" "So I have heard." -What for?" "Please dou't ask n.e. 1 am nearly- dead myself." Sensible Idfice to Girls. The lady who tills the chair of Professor of Domestic Science in the Illiuois ludustrial' Cuiversity has been giving sensible "advice to girls" iu a lecture at St. Iouis. She called women the world's' home makers, insisted that reform iu women's education was the ur gent ueed of the times, and empha sised tin? fact that intelligent cooks, educated housekeeeis ami en lightened mothers were lieginniiig to be appreciated. Women wcie hot instinctively good house-keep ers.any more tlrau men wcie good j iii'icuoiisis or gooti mechanics or farmers. . It was au error lo sup Hise that iu matters ierlainiug to the home, instruction wasiiol need ed. It was said that common seiiae alone was necessary , but common sense, aud proper sense differed. Despite their general uu preparedness she said that '.i'.i tail of a hundred girls would still per sist in getting married. This last assertion, which would he hue if there were men enough. . itossihly supplies a key to a. remedy. Ia-t it be enacted that no girl shall get married until she can pass au ex animation in domestic science. N. Y. "Tribune." Bill Arp says that "the trouble with most of the girls is they aie in too big a hurry to get married. When they get through school or college they begin to look around lor a teller, and as fellers ol Ihe right sort are scarce they kill time a year or two, aud then mate with, somebody they don't exactly like, aud the union is not happy. A girl had better not marry at all than to marry badly. Most of our men aie too poor ami cannot, afford to many. The girls ami the boys ii e on a strain to keep up w ith so lely. But it a girl cau support herself, she is independent, anil can take her pick when she does main . A Good Point. Judge Fowle, in his speech ihe other day over iu Johnston, the 'News Observer' says, made a good jioint. He directed attention to the fact the Civil Rights plank in the Republican platform hail lost it the support, of the best men who have heretofore lieen supporters oi that parly iu North Carolina. Ami again, he called attention tothis tad there have been two Repub licans who in time past, have car ried the old fourth district. Out is lion William A. Sini'h, ol'.lohn stoli, who was elected loCongiess. and uow who is an ardent sup Mirter of Cleveland ami Scales, ami Cox, and the other is John A. McDonald, who carried it as elec tor. Mr. McDonald like Mr. Smith has renounced ;t he Republican par ty ami was a delegate to the lb in octal ic convention of Wake county. held two months ago. These two ineiirare only repiesentatives of a class. Thousands of Republicans are pursuing the same course I bey have takeu. The white men of North Carolina are going to stand together hereafter. Remember that. A Unique Appeal. A tooih carpenter in Cleveland county makes this unique appeal ihrougli the Shelby "Aurora'" to his fellow countyineii : T am a candidate for the ofiiiv of register ol deeds and desire to serve Ihe public in that capacity.
