TO THE WIVES )OF THE THIRD PA RT YITES, A 11 Appeal to the Intolllpence and Season of tiie Noble sad Helplex Woman, Who Stand in Greatest Peril if the Republi cans are Successful at the Polls and the Force Kill' is Fastened Upon the South. Dear Madam : Your lot in life is doubtless hand. Your cook, if you can aflord to have one, is thrift less, incompetent and impudent. The colored hands are idle, careless and unmanageable. Your husband's crop is short. He is in debt, doubt less. Cotton is six cents per pound. Tobacco is going for a song. There is no spare money to educate the children; barely enough to clothe them against the winter's approaching cold. Your husbapd's face no longer wears a smile. He does not talk about the same things he used to talk about. He is much from home. Strange ana bitter words are in his mouth and in his neighbor's mouth. This is your condition this is onr condition. Your husband has been fooled by his false and treacherous leaders into the belief, that, through the third party, a sudden change for the better will take place. Perhaps your husband has misled you into the same belief. If so, dear madam, stop and reflect. The Third Party lsniade up ol wlnte men. lhe Uem ocratic party is made up. of white men. The Radical party is made up 01 negroes. 1 he negroes never divide. Ask your husband, dear madam, this question': How can tne "Peo ple s ' party win it the white men are divided and the negroes stand united? W hat does he say ? Ah ! hear him. His cheek is flushed, his eye is red and inflamed, his blood is hot and he says : "I had as soon have the blackest meeer in tne otate to ruie over me as to have things go on like they are. . Yes, your white husband has said j that, and has glorified in what he j said. Shame on him! j "Whom the God's would destroy, they first make mad." In his bosom, yea, he has forgot ten the blue-eved white boy, vour little bov and his, the pledge of your mutual affection, him he has forgot- 1 1 ten as ne coos in n:s innocent ana helpless cradle. Let the pure, red, anglo-saxon blood in his veins, that blood that knows -no master", and has never known, that blood that has made the southern white man,' in the midst of defeat, the wonder and admiration of the world let that blood lose its color ; let his straight hair, that badge of distinction, grow crooked and j curled upon his dishonored head ; let the hollow of his foot make a hole in the ground, and let him be con signed to the companionship of the negroes, whom he is seeking to ele vate aboue us ! And then, when he succeeds in this State, what wnl be your lot, and the lot of all white women in this State !

Mv dear madam, it we Democrats were rich and your Third Party hus band was poor, we would have no wrongs, but such is not the case. We are afl poor. We are all in the same boat.

Think on these things, dear madam, and in the. still watches of the night, in the silent presence of those vou love, ask your husband if he will not withhold his destroy ine hand. Or else, in the near future when you see the old State gutted by Radical extravagance and thievery her credit destroyed and her name rrankhed when vou see vour home made insecure because of an incapa ble and black government at Raleigh, and 'when vou see not only the evil of hard times, but the added evil of chaos, strite and confusion at home, you may perhaps remember this let- BEST CAMI'AIfiSSOSO. The New York World offered a prize of $500 to the person who should write the best Democratic campaign song. Hundreds com peted for the prize, and the com mittee made the award. It is most singular that the winner is an office holder. He wrote to the World that he held a responsible and lucrative position under the adminis tration, and that he could not, under any circumstances, permit his name to be made public, the intimation being that he thought he would be bounced for furnishing Democratic campaign literature. The following is the song, and we would like to hear it sung by a North Carolina choir: Air : "Benny Havens, O."

Mr. W. was in Phi!; V. Watt, of Charlotte, rlphia a few days ago on 1 business. While there he had a con versation with a rich, highly-protected manufacturer of carpets, and he made a remark "m cold-blooded, cruel, brutal candor" that ought to. be heralded from Maine to Mexico. In a letter to the Charlotte Observer Mr. Watt says : "After quite a lengthy discussion of the relative merits and demerits of the McKinley bul, 1 asked him tne point blank question as to how an in creased tariff duty, hence an increas ed price on the manufactured pro ducts of Pennsylvania, could help a farmer of North Carolina, or of I Kansas. 1 lis reply was prompt, cool and defiant. Farmers of North Caro lina, farmers of Kansas, listen ! And on November 8th give your reply. He said : " Any farmer in North Carolina or in Kansas is a d d fool who votes the Republican ticket ; but this is no affair of mine. If he has no more sense than to vote against his own interests, I am certainly not fool enouoh to refuse to profit by his folly." It is true that any farmer who votes for Harrison or Weaver does vote against his own interest and helps to make the Philadelphian, who treats him withcomtempt, richer and richer. We -will not call him a fool, because we do not like to employ harsh epithets. But he is untrue to him self, his wife, and his children.

The Berlin Gegenwart of Nov. 15, j 1879, contained a report of some remark- 1 able experiments made by Dr. Dunst- j maier, begun for the express purpose of testing the curious theory of Dr. Jaeger, j viz., that the soul of every man and an imal is to be songht for in the character- 1 istic odor exhaled by each. Dunstmaier, j who is a renowed physiologist and meta physician, was, until after making his self convincing experiments, an out spoken opponent of Jaeger's views. Since that time, however, he has been an enthusiastic convert. Dunstmaier decided that the nerves of smell in a dog j were the proper organs upon which to j collect the "soul exhalations" of other and more timid animals. He according- ' ly put a large cage in the center of his laboratory and gave orders to the game- j keeper to put twenty rabbits in it. After these directions had been car- j ried out a large dog was admitted to the room. He at once made violent efforts j to get at the rabbits, which of course madly rushed to and fro in the cage, j After torturing the timid little creatures for more than two hours in this maimer j the dog was killed, and the nerves of smell and the mucous membrane of the nose removed and rubbed up in a mortar with glycerin and water. The twenty ; rabbits had been "exhaling their souls" j for two long hours, and the dog, by his j panting ami sniffing, had been inhaling j the odors (souls) for the same length of time. Therefore the glycerin mixture Jmight j be expected to contain a certain qnan- ; tity of the timid souls of the rabbits; that this was the fact the following ex periments seem to prove: A few drops of 1 the mixture were administered to a cat, and after it had been given time to take effect she was put into a cage With , some mice. Instead of taking a dinner j of fresh mouse meat, as one would natu- j rally suppose, the timidity of the rabbit had been instilled into her soul to such a degree that she made repeated efforts to get away from the mice, seeming to fear that they would actually pounce upon her. By a subcutaneous injection of only two cubic centimeter- of the ex tract a large bloodhound was made so cowardly that he slunk away and tried to hide when put iu an apartment with j soms rabbits. Dunstmaier says that he has extracted the soul substance of cowardly men and administered it to the bravest of the Prussian soldiers with the effect of j making them so timid that they would not leave their rooms or tents after nightfall On one occasion he swal lowed a dose of his "psychotypic timid ity,' which had the effect of making him doubt his own marvelous discov-tii-.-. St. Louis Republic. Looking for Smuggled Goods. has been in Montreal recently, and com- . ing home he rode in the car near Neal ! Dow, of Portland. On approaching the states the car was I boarded, as usual, by the custom house j officer, and as the official went through ! the Lewiston man's baggage the latter whispered in the officer's ear: "1 know u's mean to tell on a man, but 1 hate to see anybody cheating the government or any one else. "That old gentleman," pointing to General Dow, "has a valise full of Canadian liquor. You look for it." The official looked at - the Lewiston man for an instant, said "Thank you," and turned his attention to General Dow, whom he did not know. Then followed quite a circus. He pulled Mr. Dow's baggage out and gave it a very thorough overhauling. Then he u.-.ked him if that was all the baggage he had. Then he looked -it over again. Of course he didn't find any liquor, and he looked his surprise as he turned back to the Lewiston man, who was having one of the best times of his life, and said, "What did yon say he had liquor in his satchel for?" "Don't you know that old gentleman;" said the Lewiston man as he held on to his sides with laughter. 'lo, sir." "You don't? Honest, don't yonf "No, sir, 1 do not," said the govern ment official. "Who is it?" "That," said the Lewiston man with a burst of langhter; "that why, it's too good that, sir, is Neal Dow, of Maine." Ti is being a family paper we are un able to register just what the official said. Lewiston Journal. Keeping His Eyo on the Rtng. Police Officer Cole, of San Francisco, told a reporter this story: "Before I weut on the Oakland police force 1 was steward at the hotels. I served at the Grand Central until it burned and then went to the Galindo. At the latter place was a pompons Englishman, very dis agreeable in his treatment of all the servants and full of small pride. He snubbed me several times when 1 tried to do something for him. and 1 grew to dislike him thoroughly. "One evening he came into dinner somewhat the worse for liquor. He had his usual wias during the meal, and when it was time to rise his legd were not under control of his head. He knew i .; adition and called use to Mm. "He said he couldn't walk straight and asked me to assist him to the door. I replied that if 1 took his arm it would only draw the attention of the crowded room to his condition, but that I'd help in another way. " 'See that rinc at the end of tne chain which pulls the door bolt?' I said. 'When I get over to the door, just nxj vour eve on the ring, rise and make straight for it.

To m western man who has been ac I customed to plenty of sea room and a 1 rustling crowd the modern New York i hotel is a cold and cheerless sort of place I saw Potter Palmer at the new Holland - Hons the other day and he seemed to chafe under the aristocratic restrictions of space and quietude. The lovely cor ridors and limited general space of the first floor of the Holland together could be put in Mr. Palmer's private office in Chicago. And that distinguished inn keeper must have sadly missed the half a hundred slumberous loafers who hold down his leathern chairs all day and the swarm of commercial gentlemen who divide up among themselves the smoke laden atmosphere of his great rotunda. There are no serious reasons, in the opinions of the modern New York hotel builders, why tli9 gregarious American Idea should be flattered and encouraged, and he thus follows the prevailing for eign custom of the restaurant, the cafe, the smoking room and an office for busi ness purposes only. The latter should be quite as accessible and acceptable to ladies as to gentlemen. In some of the new hotels of this city ladies may come and go by the main entrance and to and from the clerk's desk without running the gantlet of critical loafers and stale tobacco smoke. The exclusive, quiet, private family idea is put uj)perniost. New York Herald. French Veterinary Inspection. Veterinary inspection has done much to improve horse breeding in France, as no stallion is permitted to stand for pub lic service unless he has the government veterinary permit and certificate that he is free from hereditary disease. The British vice consul at La Rcchelle. in a report on the agriculture of the lantes district, describes the working of the stallion depot at Nantes. He calls special attention "to the very' strong views held in France with regard to anything doubtful about the breathing organs." The smallest defect of this kind disqualifies a horse for the stud, for the authorities of the studs are per fectly certain that it is transmitted and any stud horse that developes symptoms of roaring, whistling or any such in firmity, no matter what his value, is at once discarded. 'This is not only because they are convinced that these defects are likely to be inherited," continues the consular report, "but because they have absolute proof from their own experience that they are so, and no person has a better opportunity of judging, as they see most of the produce of these sires." Western Live Stock Journal. The Independent Chicago Woman. Congressman Kern, who has been here visiting, had an amusing adventure in a Madison street car. The car was full, and at a certain corner a woman got in who owing to the amplitude of her pro portions had some difficulty in crowding through the door. She finally stationed herself right in front of the Nebraska congressman. He got up. "Sit down," said the woman impress ively; "sit right down. Don't trouble yourself, 1 beg of you. I can just as well stand myself. I" "But," expostulated the Hon. Kern, "but, madam" She broke in upon him. "1 insist upon your sitting down,'' she exclaimed hoarsely. "I have seen too much of this thing of women driving men out of their seats. 1 don't believe in it. If you" Mr. Kern had become desperate. The conductor was nowhere in sight.

Astor squabbling Over a Backyard Fence Newport cottagers are very much in- eref ed a Prefent in aJ?wich i-has been Lncked up between W. K. Van derbilt and William Waldorf Astor over ' the alleged encroachment on the latter's j property here by the builders of Mr. j Vanderbilt's palace on Bellevne avenue. I The trouble is due to the removal bv- Mr. Astor of a fence erected by Mr. Vanderbilt separajjng bis marble man sion from Mr. Astor's estate on the south and the retaliatory removal by Mr. Vanderbilt of a cheap pine scant ling fence built by Mr. Astor as a pro tection against intrusion by the Vander bilt laborers. The new Vanderbilt palace has been in course of construction for two years, and at the beginning a high, rough fence was put up on both sides of the lot, which detracted greatly from the beauty of the adjacent estates of William Wal dorf and John Jacob Astor. It wasn't until Mr. Vanderbilt's men began to tamper with the rugged beauty of the grand cliff walk at the east en'd of his palace, however, that Mr. Astor showed signs of disapproval. Mr. Vanderbilt wished to keep intruders out of his grounds, and to do that he had to bar them from using the cliff walk, which a Rhode Island state law says shall be for ever free to all pedestrians. Mr. Vanderbilt constructed an arti ficial promonotory at the cliff walk, which rose gradually from the lawn in the rear of his palace to a height which permitted the millionaire to construct a tunnel-, through which pedestrians were enabled to pass beneath the plateau in darkness and not trespass on any of his land or lawns. But the height of this promontory also affected Mr. Astor's view of the ocean, and when Mr. Vanderbilt's men devi ated the course of his walks so as to con form to the necessities of both entrances cf the Vanderbilt tunnel Mr. Astor got angry. He ordered his gardener to re place the sodded turf and line out the walks in their original places. He also ordered a fence to be built. All this was done quickly enough, but a few days later it was all undone by Mr Vanderbilt's workmen. Friday the Astor phalanx removed a Vanderbilt fence and altered the walks again. The result was that the artificial plateau was under mined and fell into the sea at the foot of the cliff. The victory is at present on Mr. Astor's side. Tomorrow it may perch on the Vanderbilt banner. The other cottaeers are looking on with great interest. No other cottager along the cliffs has ever barred or tried to bar pedestrians from using the great cliff walk. Philadelphia Press. Two Brood of Turkeys a Year. Jennie Watson, an eastern poultry raiser, says: In the last fifteen years 1 have owned several turkey hens that have, while taking care of the first early brood, laid eggs and then hatched a sec ond brood toward the latter part of the summer. I think vigorous hens will often do so if allowed to sit early. It makes the young turkeys rather late, but with good quarters and good care they can- be sold in February, as they will then bo five or eix months old, and taking into account the higher prices to be obtained at that season will general ly bring more than the early ones mar keted before the Christmas holidays. If from lack of proper care they are not salable in February they can bo kept over and made plump, heavy birds for the early winter market. Some of the heaviest and most salable turkeys that 1 have ever sent to market have been such very late broods, wintered over without extra care. Such hens will always be in demand by every buyer who wants a Thanksgiving or Christmas roast, you may be sure, and the gobblers will not be overlooked. Field and Farm. The Pope's Bepartee. A Vatican correspondent relates the following story of the days of Pio Nono. A great French flidy, having obtained an audience, threw herself at the pope's feet and fervently thanked him for hav ing restored her to health. "But how have I done it?' inqmred tho pope. "I procured a stocking that belonged to your holiness," she replied. "One of my stockings?" "Yes. I put the talisman on my dis eased foot and it has been completely cured." "Madam," replied the pope, a little maliciously, "fortune has been very kind to you. You need only put on one of my stockings and your foot is healed, while 1 put on both my stockings every morning and I can hardly walk." Pall Mall Budget. - Dogs as Beasts of Burden. In 1854 an act was passed prohibiting the use - of dogs as beasts of burden. Every Englishman, on a first visit to a Belgian town, is struck with nothing so much as the way our canine friends are made to draw carts, which are too often cruelly overladen. What is said to be the first prosecution under the English act took place at the Bearstead (Kent) petty sessions, at which a lady was fined live shillings and costs for permitting her two dogs to draw a baby carriage on tho public highway.

I have seen a paragraph with refer Dnce to the giving of foreign titles to hotel dishes. Let mo tell you the reason these titles stick. First of all, some of them are old, and therefor for conven ience sake are adhered to. Secondly and this is the chief reason you cannot find an American cook for any hotel worthy of the name. Why? Just be cause colored men are cooks. A good L'iR-r cau obtain any salary, let no American will take up the trade, and for tiie reason stated. The consequence Es Frenchmen are employed. They do aot understand any dishes but those of their own country. Hence when they fait upon anything new they give it a French name.

Mrs. Lease, of Weaverite fame, has a rival in a negro woman who is canvassing in Jones county in advo cacy of the Third party. She attires herself gaudily with bracelets, tassels and blue sashes with white stars. She made a very long speech at Pollocks ville Saturday evening advising her hearers not to vote for either Cleve land or Harrison, but for Weaver. We are informed that she said she was so smart that some people would hot believe that she was a negro wo man ; some thought she was a white woman or man blacked up ; some thought she was Mrs. Lease! but she would 'nt say. Her speeches are pronounced the most ridiculous ever heard. She wouud up by saying she would speak that night at Herriott's school house ; she had been invited there by her white brethren and she wanted all to come, both them and her black brethren. Tis said she and her crowd had a jubilee that night at the school "house, and that there were actually white men in the house with such low principles as to cheer her when advo cated social equality and the inter marriage of the races. John Mercer, a hitherto Republican, presided at the meeting and a man named Robinson who recently moved to the neighbor hood irom Martin county was the 1 a r. ib . secretary, sue went irom max poim to Mavsiville. Indignation is expressed at such a meeting being allowed in the school- house. We know ot one wnite man who has been adhering to the Third- party that became so disgusted with the carryings on in the negro wo man's meeting that he declared he would have nothing to do with such proceedings and he turned squarely away and came back to his good old, honest Democracy. Who the negro woman is, where she came from, and who is paying her expenses are matters of which almost j nothing seems to be known. iNew Bern Journal. A Dastardly .Sentiment.
