Until he was hissed in Boston on "Wednes day night we have never heard of a Presidential candidate meeting with any but the most courteous treatment on his travels When the American jieople hiss a man it is because thev detest him. A special to the ''News aud Observer" says that last Satuiday evening, while John Campbell, white, and Tom Dorset t and uan Marsden, colored,! were cleaniug out an old well near Pittslxro, they were suffocated by the foul gases in the well.

The Mormon tabernacle at Great Salt Lake is large enough to seat 10,000, but its acoustical prop erties are so good that when all are quiet the faintest whisper' can be heard in every pari' of it.

Mr. Blame is one ot the few men who have made politics pay. Marriage. By Mary K'YL'fc Dallas. "I am afiaid to marrv," writes my young friend Helen 'to me, "because so many people tell me that most marriages are unhappy. Are they!" My dear nelen, use your own bright' eyes, look about you, and answer. Leaning out of your window in -the village street, you can see twenty homes, iu each of' which live a married couple, with generally two or more chil dren. It is evident to any observer that there is 'nobody ou efrrth equal to "husband" iu the eyes of any of those wives; and that the husbaud thinks "my wife" s very important person indeed. Over there at the big hotel lots of brides ami bride grooms stop every summer. Sure ly, they are -lover-like enough..- And did not grandpa and -grandma love each other I Does, not your moth er believe your father all a man should be J Could any love be greater than hers for hinif Out of a hundred -'.people you know, or have known, you will find three or four wretched, ill-mated pairs; ot perhaps separated, since they coulu not live together in peace; but usually, that love which commences with romance, settles i-.to the oeepest, tenderest, and purest a ffect ion on earth. Aud married people' having the same interests, the same luune, the same table for years, sayiug so often "our property," "our interests," "our wishes," most of all "owr cA7 ifrai," grow to regard each other with that :eomplaisauce; with which we look tiK)ii ourselves, aud make excuses for each other nobody else would dream of. You call Mr.- Jones in your own mind "a perfect bear," His wife speaks of him as a miracle of sound good sense. "No airs about him." You and 'the rest of the world know Mrs. Perkins to he' "tidgetty, snappish, and loud of. making ill uatured speeches." Mr. Perkius lelieves her to U so dainty iu her taste that only pet iVction pleases her; and that she is remarkably witty ; while she spares him alone of all the world the lashing ot her tongue. Of course, in this world of troub le, annoyances are sure to occur. Relatives are not. always as agree able iu their manners as thev might be.

' SNAKE STORIES. HIS EXPE-j RIENCE IN MAKING BUTTER, FIRESIDE CHAT. Cousin John Thrasher came to see us the other day and made us proud. For it is no small compli ment for a man like him to ride five miles on a dirt road in hot weather to do us honor and show us regard. He dideut stop long, for he is always in a hurry, and so just before leaving he said he wanted to go down to the spring and dip up a drink of pure water. I went down with him and kept a little ahead. I stept down off the log that was close by the spring, and Uncle John stept down just behind me, and he stept high and he stept far, and bollerfed "snake." Sure enough I had stept over the varmint a big, rusty, moccasin and he mads for a hole iu the rocks aud we lost him. Cousin John dideut get over it. for several min utes, aud had to sit down and blow, for he is awfully afraid of snakes. It is mighty hard on my wife, for snakes are her everlast ing horror. If we killed one on the premises, she always declared there j is another close by, and if we kill two she says there must be a den : of them, and so there is no way to pacify and make her calm and serene. Carl is getting to be a right smart chunk of a boy now, aud hankers after a gun, and so the other day I told himise would go hunting snakes. I gave' him the small gun and I took the big one, and we meaudered slowly along the branch, and sure enough he spied that same big moccasin down below the spring sunning himself on a plank, and I got him a rest and cocked his gun, aud he took a trembling aim and fired and killed the beast, and he was the proud est boy I think I ever saw. We killed four on that excursion, and now he don't want to do anything but hunt snakes and swells up and struts round with his new import ance. We killed a rattlesnake's pilot over in the field and ten young ones came crawling out of her mouth. It is suake time now. This hot, dry, dusty weather makes them travel around in search of food, and you can see their wormy, squirmy track across the road most every day. The .books say that snakes that lay eggs are non-veue-mous, and those that give birth to tl.efr young are veueinons and that none but the latter ever allow their young to run in and run out of them. But they are all the same to me, and I let none escape if I can help it. Our mortal antipathy to snakes is to my mind one of the strongest proofs of scripture, and it is part of my religion to "bruise his head" whenever I have a chance. My wife, Mrs. Arp, loves to go down to the spring house and see after the milk and superintend the churning, and she is proud of the rich cream, and prouder ot the but ter, and I don't want any of these insidious perambulating reptiles to interfere with her perfect serenity. I love the buttermilk that she pre pares, for I know it is nice. She called me down to the spring1 house yesterday to show me how much nice yellow butter she had made at a double churning. Of course I complimented her with gushing and uxorious language, aud when she told me to go to the house and look on the pantry shelf and bring Iter down the bowl of. -salt,, where" with to season the butter I went with alacrity aud brought it and I watched her as she sprinkled it all over and stirred it iu with the pad dle, and in course of time she con cluded to taste it and see if it was salty enough, and 1 never will for get the lost and lamented look she gave me as she exclaimed, "Wil liam you bronght me sugar." She sat down on a chair and looked away off. "I thought it was salt," said 1, "I found it just where you told me." "Of course you did, she said. "I'm not blaming you at all, 1 forgot there was a bowl of sugar there, and if 1 had had ou my specks I could have told the difference. Oh my! what a pity it is to be old and uearly blind. It was a beautiful lot of butter and now it is all spoilt. "My dear" said I, "wont it do for 1 i case, uuu you saiu you was goiug to make a bread pudding to-dav and it-will be splendid for sauce It is already mixed." She never said anything, but banded me the butter and told me to set it iu the spring house. did so and ventured to remark that it was mighty nice sweet butter Well, I got the pudding for dinner and eat about twice as much as I wanted just to show her how good it was, and now everything is calm and serene. I expect we wil i have pudding and cake every day for a week, but I dout expect to ever mistake sugar for salt again as long as 1 live. There are some things, that wont bear repeating iu a family, and Mrs. Arp some times suspects me of doiug a little devilment out of pure cussedness We are preparing to go into winter quarters now. My wife has called my respectful at tention to a few broken window glass and a leak in the root and a brick or two that are loose in the chimney back, and she has men tioned that another pair of blankets will be needed, for the grand child ren will be coming ont, and she says that my flannel shirts are get ting old and dilapidated; she al ways looks after mer bless her heart, and I always look after her, bless my heart, too, for she wont ask for anything and I have to talk to the girls and find oat what mother needs. If she ever asked me for anything in her life I don't know it, and I reckon the reason is I dont giye her a chance.

The; poor comiositor; I thought he put things into type? Yes. And that the printer he worked on the edition? You are right? Then what iu the name of heav en does the editor do? He talks. With whom! With people who come in to lelp him pass away the time. Oh! then the editor has plenty ot time to waste? Lots. Who is that long haired lnnati with the roll ot paper? He is the gifted poet, What does he want! He wants to know what became of that '-Ode to a Withered Violet," in forty seven stanzas, which he sent in last spring. V hat did become of it? It was filed away in the stove Does th editor say that? Oh, no. What does he say? He says that he sent it back. My! but isn't that a twister! Yes, dear. What does the poet say! He- says that he is so sorry, be cause the "Century" ofiered him $()." for it. And what is that! A lie. And who is that gentleman with the club? He is the "Constant Reader." And he wants " To inquire why his last communi cation was nqt answered Aud why was it not! Because it was seven columns long and only iu the interest of one person. Who was that? Himself. Aud that fashionable gentleman suckirg his cane? He is the delight of the editorial room. What is his business! He has uoue. Why then does he come?

Then the editor has nothing in the world to vish for or pray for? Oh, yes one thing. And what is that? Death. Newspaper Duns. A writer in the Harrisburg, Penn., "Patriot" truly remarks "We presume that some people think newspaper men are persist ent duns; let a farmer place him self in a similar position and see if he would not do the same. Sup pose that he raises one thousand bushels of corn and his neighbor should come and buy a bushel, and the price was only the small sum of one dollar, or less; and the neighbor says : 4I wRl pay the amount in a lew days.' As the farmer does not want to be smai about the matter he says, all right Another coues in the same way until the whole of one thousand bushels axe trusted to one thou sand different peisons, and not one of the purchasers concerns him self about it, for it is a small amount they owe ' the farmer, as of course that will not help him any. He does not realize that the farmer has frittered away his large crop of corn, aud that its value is due in a thousand little driblets, and that he is seriously embarrass ed in his business because his debt ors treat it as a little matter." Tingled Relationship. There is a gentleman living in this county who married many years ago and the wife of his bosom shortly after died. Removiug West," he married a second time and the union was blessed with a danghter. This daughter, now a woman, returned to ; Forsyth and f alii us in love with a brother of the father's first wife, married him Tbe circumstance is quite novel and worthy of publication.

Henderson. of Rowan, is the Democratic candidate for Con gress in the Seventh district. Mahone has been sadly silent for the past,-few. months. He is al most as forgotten as R. B. Hayes. There is a standing offer in Wil mington to bet $250 that Cleve land will be elected. Republican sporting men should make a note. In Granville there" are two Re publican tickets in the field. One ignores the negro: the other ig nores tbe new-fledged Radicals of Mongrel breed. ? A correspondent assures the Winston "Republican',' that in the joint discussion at Yadkinville on the 9th, Senator Vance was "over matched" by Pat Winston. Great Caesar's ghost ! The Tarboro "SontherBer"- says there is not a white Radical in Edgecombe county that is not an office-seeker. Almost? the same might be said of most counties in Eastern North Carolina. Stephen Grover Cleveland, a name with twenty-two letters, and a candidate who will be the twenty- second President of the United States. Also good for the twenty two States he will carry. Ex -Gov. Seymour's choice for Gov. Cleveland over any other practica ble candidate has long been known. It was expressed before the meet ing of the Democratic. National Convantion. "New York Herald." Betting men in Iew York now offer $i;000 to $ 750 that Cleveland is elected, 81,000 to 750 that he will have 25,000 majority in J ew York State, f 1,000 even ou 40,000 majority; 1,000 to $500 that he carries the State. Craven Democrats have nomi nated the following county ticket: For Senate, P. Holland Jr; For the House, R. A. Russell; For Treasur er, T. A. Green; For Register, Enoch Wadsworth; For Coroner, Dr. Frank Duffy; For Surveyor, Daniel Lane. Speaking of York, Gov. Vance in conversing witn a crowd or nis friends at - Hickory, remarked : "York is the biggest liar North of hell aud east of the Blue Ridge," and everybody who has ever heard York's rambling, illogical, iguor- ant, demagogic, lying tirades of insult and villification, knows that the above is true geography and all. "Lincoln Press." , Hon. Jos. J. Davis, "Honest Joe" of Franklin, writes the "Chronicle : "I am more gratified at the news of General Walker's coming over to us than of any change I have heard. It often oc curred to me in Washington that he was one of the most conscien tious, thorough!- honest, high minded and useful public servants that the country ever had. Say something about him. It is a good sigu of the times that such a man leaves the old ship. It must be sinking." In his speech at Shelby, Gov. Vance said that he never heard of a white man joining the Republi can or Liberal party and espousing its rotten doctrines, but what he felt like that old minister, who, when on his way home accompa nied by some of his brethren, found near his house a flue blooded cow of his lying ou tbe side of the road bleeding and dying from being torn to pieces by dogs. After con templating the spectacle for some moments he remarked : "Breth- enug, if there can be such a thing as a d d shame, that's hit." "Liucoln Press." The administration has remain ed very quiet thus far during the campaign, but now it is said that a deal has been arranged between Blaine and Arthur whereby Ar thur is to throw the whole influ ence of the administration iu favor of Blaine, the consideration being that the latter snail, if elected, ex ert his influence in New York to bare Arthur sent to the Senate when Lapham's term expires. It is currently reorted iu Washing ton that one of the results of this bargain will be the opening of the treasury and .the distribution of some of its surplus hundred mil lion to the wholesale purchase of votes in Ohio as was done last week in Maine. Every Liberal is a Hungry Of fice seeker. Point, if you can, to a single man who has deserted the Demo cratic ranks to go over ana join the Liberal party the Radical whose object is not office, and we promise to never say a word con demning his action.

Rocky Monnt "Reporter." Iu A Strait. -Calling on tbe Dead For Help. Senator Lot M. Morrill was one of "the fathers" of the Republican party, a Senator- from Maine for many vears. He died about two years ago. j His widow was sur prised a few days ago by receiving a letter sent to bim from Uhio ask ing his powerful aid in the emer gency created there by the charges against 31r. Blame's character. She replied that "I am surprised and shocked to receive such a com munication.

If he were alive he would not support Mr. Blaine-or any such man, even at the bidding of his party.". Are They an Going to Become DcMMatrs! And still they come. Beniamin H., Bristow, Grant's Secretary of the Treasury, says he will vote tor Cleveland as an emphatic pro test against the nomination of such a man as Blaine; and Francis u. Walker, ex-superintendent of the census, another life-long Re publican, changes his vote this year, avering that in his State, Massachusetts, fully 15,000 of the best and most intelligent Republi cans will vote with him for Cleve- and. Still another old Republi can leader, Gen. W. T. Christen sen, was on Wednesday night elec ted president of the Scandinavian Cleveland and Hendricks club of of New York and Brooklyn, declar ing on taking bis seat that after mature deliberation he had deter mined to vote for the Democrtic nominees, believing them purer and better men than Blaine and Logan. It begins to look verv much like the traditional desertion bv rats of a sinking ship. - 'Gems" Front Blaine's Letters The following are some extracts from Blaine's letters, which, of themselves, show the corruption of the man: "Keep my name quiet." "I note what yon say about the importance of my keeping all qui et here.'' 4No one will ever know from me that I have disposed of a single dollar in Maine." 1 "I have endeavered in writing not to be indelicate." "It will be in my power to cast an aucnor to windward m vour behalf." "I can do something, I fell very sangnine, with Thomas A Scott." "Its personal hardships to me are bitter and burning and humili ating to the last degree." "If you knew the agonies I have suffered iu this matter during the past six months, you would pity me." "I see various channels in which can be useful." "I do not feel that I shall prove a deadhead in tbe enterprise if I once embark in it." "Burn this letter." Verily, verily, is this the Plumed vnight? Gen. Scales' Accident. TIIE FBIGHTFTJTj FALL WHICH CAME NEAE BEING FATAL. The accident which has, disabled General Scales occurred while the General was crossing the Cowee mountain, which divides Jackson roui Macon county, ine road is very rugged and in some, places, like most mountain roads, winds along high and dangerous preci pices. General Scales was travel ing in a buggy with a companion who was driving. While descend ing a steep place in tne road a portion ot the harness gave away which caused the buggy to run on the horse. The; horse became frightened and dashed off in a mad runaway. Just at a narrow end in the road, where the mountain rose up perpendicularly on one side and on the other yawned a 100 foot chasm, the buggy, upset. As it did so Gen. Scales leaped to the ground, and landed on the edge of the precipice. The horse and buggy tumbled over the preci pice aud went crashing to the ground, 100 feet below. In endeav oring to gain firm ground General Scales lost his foothold, and going over the precipice followed tbe buggy. His - fall was a terrible one and would undoubtedly have resulted in his death but for the fact that at the distance of fifty feet, and before striking tbe jagged rocks below, the force of his fall was broken by a tree into the branches ' of which Gen. : Scales crashed, and where he lodged. The buggy was smashed to pieces ana tne norse was Killed Climbing from the tree and regain ing solid ground, General Scales found that none of his bones were broken, but the sharp pains darting through his body gave evidence that he had received severe and perhaps serious internal injuries, With the assistance of his friend Ueu. scales made nis way to a house near by, where he rested lor a while, and then upon the advice of his physicians he made his way towards his home in ureensDoro, wnicn place he reached Thursday night. The doctors who are attending Gen Scales in Greensboro command him to keep quiet and remain in bed for two days yet. They found that he had received a number of painful bruises and his limbs are severely wrenched. The doctors annouce that he will be able to fill his appointment at Albemarle, in Stanly county, on Monday next. Yesterday, as we learned by telegraph, Gen. Scales was resting well, but was actually unable to stand alone. Charlotte "Observer of Sep. 20th. Where B&ldHe&ds Will be Safe.

Asheville 'Citi zen; n MORE CORRUPTION NEW CASE OF VILLI ANY AGAINST MR. BLAINE. DEFEATED HIM IN 1876. Charles H. Bergner, Esq., was in his favorite club in this city the other evening, says a Harrisburg, Pa., letter to the Warren "Ledger," discussing the political situation and surprised evsry one by indica ting that he is not inclined to vote for Blame. Mr. Bergner is a law yer of this city His father was postmaster for many years, the public printer, and the editor and publisher of the Harrisburg "Even ning Telegraph," the central party organ of the State. Dying a few years ago, his son succeeded to tbe ownership of the paper, and in 1876 was editor in chief. Everybody wanted an explana tion. "It is commonly believed," Baid Mr. Bergner, "that Blaine was de feated for the nomination in 1876 because he was obnoxious to the Cameron ring. There is nothing fnrther from the truth, and the only color for the statement lies in the fact that the Senator Cameron was opposed to bim. His defeat was accompished by a disclosure made by William H. Kemble, who was a candidate from the Fourth District, Philadelphia, and had no reference direct or indirect to the relations between Senator Cameron and Mr. Blaine. "After the sixth ballot had been completed," continued Mr. Berguer, "it became evident that the issue would be decided on the next. The 'ennsylvania delegates had been voting for John F. Hartrantt in obedience to the resolutions of the State Convention. In order that the State might make itself felt in the succeeding ballot the delegation withdrew for consultation. While they were thus engaged the late Morton McMichael and Gen Bing ham addressed themselves earn estly to the delegates in advocacy of voting lor. Blame. At tne con clusion of Mr. McMichael's remarks' it was evident a deep impression had been made. Just as the votes were about to be taken Mr. Kemble -w-w 1 1 J. t J A. arose, rie as&ea me aeiegai.es 10 pause in the matter, and gave 11 as his opinion that the nomination of Blaine would bring defeat to the party. He referred to the dam- aging stories tnac wouiu De toiu, and to the doubtful record Mr. Blaine had made during his pub ic life. He then drew from his pocket two cancelled checks, aud continued: 4I never bad any leg itimate transactions with Mr. Blaine. They are signed by me, made payable to his order aud indorsed and returned to me through the!ordinary channels of such things. W hen JU.r. joiaine was tspeaner 01 Congress I was interested m some pending legislation. I asked his assistance in a way of a favorable ruling. He agreed to rule as I tasked for $5,000. I paid him the money with this cheect (exhibiting the 5.000 check.) Subsequently Blaine came to me and demanded $2,500 more, and I was obliged to vield aud make the second pay ment with ti8 checK (exuioting the $2,5000 check). 'Now,' said Mr. Kemble, 'I defy auy man to sav that I ever had any other business transaction with Blaine, and I defy any man to dis onte the genuineness of this en dorsement in Blaine's handwriting. If he is nominated by this con vention I will give these facts to the public, aud his defeat is cer- tain to follow. 1 nave no onjec tion to a man being boaght, if he will stay bought, but I protest against him demanding the pay twice.' "The effect of this speech was electrical," continued Mr. Bergner, "When Kemble sat down he hand ed the cancelled check around amoug the delegates and they were examined caremuy, critically had them in my bad and am satisfied that they are genuine Immediately after the vote was taken and the delegation decided to cast its vote for Hayes. That vote decided the issue against Blaine. - While the balloting in theChica fro convention 01 1000 was in progress, Gen. Simon Cameron, alluding to the same matter, said to a neighbor that it was evident the people were for Blaine, but owing to the evidence against him it would be fatal to nominate him. President Lincoln's Prophetic Dream. It is not generally known that President Lincoln once dreamed that he would be assassinated. While he was not a professor of religion, nor even fixed in his be lief in one particular creed, still he was fond of reading and discuss ing the Bible. On Sunday eve nings he invariably read a chapter or two from the Scriptures and then gave bis explanation of it. One evening at the White House; he read several passages both from the Old and New Testaments re lating to dreams, to which Mrs. Lincoln and the children gave great attention. He began to chat 1 with them on the su eject or dreams I and said be had been haunted fori some days by a dream he had. Of course, they all wanted him to tell it, though Mrs. Lincoln said she i didn't believe in dreams in tbe least, and was astonished at him. So he proceeded to tell it. About ten days ago I retired oue night quite late. I had been np waiting for important dispatches from the front, and could not : have been long in bed when I fell into a slum ber for I was very weary. During my slumber I began to dream. I thought there was a stillness about me, and I heard weeping. I thought that I got np and wander ed down stairs. .' The same . still ness was there. As I went from room to room I heard moaning and NUMBER 34 weeping. At length I came to the end room, which I entered, and there before me was a magnificent dais, on wtuca was a corpse. Here there were sentries and a crowd of people. I said to one of the " sol diers : 'Who is dead at the White House!' He answered : The Pres ident' How did he dlef I asked 'By the hand of an assassin,' was the reply. Then I heard a great wailing all over the house, and it was so load ft seemed to awaken me. I awoke much depressed, and siepc no more that night, such was my dream." From that time nntil his sad death Mr. Lincoln was haunted by the fear of assassi nation, and Mrs. Lincoln's first words, after Wilkes - Booth had shot him, on April 14, were: 'His dream was prophetic' The re- mats was not understood then but when the story of his dream was subsequently told, it was ex plained.

"Arkansas Traveller." - She Gave Him Aiay. An Austin Israelite has his dwell ing and place of business in. the same house, which is quite a small one. There were several customers in the store, when his wife, who is a very affectionate creature, called out from the next room: "Oh, Schon, my dear Schon, come to dinner." A shade of rage passed over his Hebraic features, and go ing to where sne was, he seized her brutally by tbe arm, and with a malignant voice, hoarse with an noyance, said : "Rebecca, does you vant to ruin me in my pishnesst What for yon call me dear Sohon ven I vants to be known as cheap Schonf Do yon vant to have dot Peebles lose confidence in me!" "Texas Sittings. " His Sheep Were ill Hogs. A minister once started a church in a young Western town, but for want of peenmary support was soon obliged to abandon it. His farewell sermon to the lukewarm brethren was characterized by more heat than elegance. He end ed thus : "At tbe last day the Lord will say to St. Peter, 'where is your flock!' and St. Peter will answer, 'Here Lord.' He will say to Calvin, 'And "where are your sheep!' and Calvin will reply 'Here Lord;' and so all of the Shepherds can answer. But' When he asks me, ''Where are your sheep!' how will you feel when I am compelled to reply: 'Lord I haven't anyj mine were all hogs!" A Business Melody. There was a man in onr town and he was wondrons wise, for when he marked his prices down he then would advertise. And when he saw his trade in crease, with all his might and main. be marked still lower and adver tised again. And while they sat in solitude and saw him custom win, that man behind the counter stood and raked the s heckles in. And when he raked the sheckles in and saw his fortune rising, he took a goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising. Each day a generous sum he'd sink, aud demonstrate full plain, the more one pays for printer's ink tbe greater is his gain. lilliamston Enjoying a Boom. The town of Williainston is eu- iovinsr a building boom. Many of the most prosjierous merchants were burned out by the disastrous fire several months since, but it has created a brisk demand for brick and mortar. The following are now building brick stores : Messrs. N. S. Godard, Biggs & Uassell, A. li. liodgerson and Walter S. Uas sell. The following are preparing to build : Messrs. Marian Bur roughs, Eli Gurganus, B. B. Watts & Co., N. S. Peal and Samuel Mob ley. Messrs. John D. Biggs & Co., will erect a large and handsome building next spring. After all the fire was a blessing in disguise. Washington "Gazette." Yeryloblj Done.

LIST OF SPECIAL DAYS. Interest in the coming State Ex position increases as the time of holding it approaches. The build-i ings are now all ready for .the re- : ception of the exhibits, and it be- hooves the county committees who have charge of this work to hasten their exhibits to Raleigh. Letters have been sent the chairman of all the county committees asking them to have all of their material in Raleigh by the 20th of September. This plan will enable them to be on hand five days before the rail road running through the main '. bnilding is closed np, and thus save to the counties tbe cost of drayage and loss of time. Tbe counties have been given the verv - best locations in the main build ing, and It is expected that each county will make its exhibit of the. most attractive and interesting character ; in fact we know that this feature of distinctive county exhibits will prove roost valuable in that it creates a pleasant rivalrv in displaying products and in deco- ' rating the exhibits. Descriptions of the county exhibits indicate that they will be much more elaborate than was at first contemplated. Handsome lithographs and colored posters have been sent broad-cast over the State, froiu which a fair bird's-eye view of the main build ing may be had. These have also been distributed in all the States adjoining. Tbe large engines and boilers for running the machinery are now being placed, and rest as sured that this exhibit of all kinds of manufacturing machinery in motion is going to prove very en-" tertainlng to many people in North Carolina. But the main feature of this article is to impress the peo ple with the importance of having their exhibits in Raleigh ou time. The gates to the grounds will be- cl08ed on the 15th of September to 1 a a tne pumic, ana only persons con nected with county or private ex hibits will be admitted.

The Raleigh "Chron icle" says, That is an interesting story that comes from Durham about the man . Bar bee who has been arrested charged with obstructing tbe rail road. A badly clad, ugly fellow walked into Durham one day some time ago and sought work among the laborers who were building a house. He laid bricks as a sort of jackleg for awhile, drove a wagon, shoveled dirt did anything. AH tbe while he kept bis eyes and ears cocked and open and cultivated the acquaintance of all tbe rascals be found. In the circle of this in teresting acquaintance, he became very intimate with Mr. Barbee, and Mr. Barbee confessed his div ers deviltries to him, among others, the interesting experience of ob strocting tbe railroad. Then the tramp forsook his old chums about Durham, went to the hotel, dressed himself elegantly and astonished the honest Lost Rutjes by declar ing that be was a detective from New York. This is Mr. E. C. Hackney's interesting narative. A dog was sold in Chatham coun ts , the other day, under mortgage.
