So far as a young man "sowing his wild oats" is concerned, writes Ed ward W. Bok in some editorials for young men in the March Ladies' Journal, it has always seemed a pity to me that the man who framed that sentence didn't die before he con structed it. From the way some people talk one would imagine that every man had instilled into him at his birth a certain amount of deviltry which he must get rid of belore be can become a man of honor. Now what is said about "sowing wild oats" - is nothing" more nor less than self-degradation to any voung man. It doesn't make a man one particle nlore of a man because he passed through a siege of riotus liv ing and indiscretion when he was nineteen or twenty; it makes him just so much less of a man. It dwarts his views of life tar more than it broadens them. And he re alizes this afterward. And he doesn't care one iota more of "life," except a certain phase of it.which, if it has glit ter lor him in youth, becomes a repel lent remembrance to him when he is matured. There is no such thing as an investigating period in a man's life ; at one period it is as important to him to be honorable and true to the teachings of his mother as at an other. No young, man need seek the "darker side of life." The Lord knows that it forces itself upon our attention soon enough. It does not wait to be sought. A young man need not be afraid that he will fail to see it. He will see plenty of it and without any-seeking on his part, either. And even if he does fail he is the gainer.There are a great many things which we can accept by inference as existing in the world. It is not a liberal education to see them. Too many young men have a burning itch to see wickedness not to in dulge in it, they are quick to ex plain, but simply to see it. But the thousands of men who have never seen it have never felt themselves the losers. If .anything thev are glad cf it. . 1 . " : " ' It does not raise a man's ideal to come into contact with certain Jypes of manhood or womanhood which are only removed from the lowest types of the animal kingdom by vir tue of the fact that the Creator chose to have them get through the world on two legs instead of four. The loftiest ideal of womanhood that a young man can form in his impressi ble days will prove none too high lor him in his years of maturity. Tq be true to tne Dest mat is witmn a man means, above , all, to be an earnest believer in the best qualities of wo manhood. Statesville Landmark. Specimen Cuses. S. H.

"How were you so successful?" asked a less fortunate rival. "Easiest thing in the world," he replied.

Vance's vigor, determination, wit and power of repartee soon won him friends and clients. "Nick" Woodfin was then the leader of the Buncombe bar, if not of the bar of all "western North Carolina at that dpy. He was an exceedingly able m&fi, and jealous of his pre-eminence ana5 lead ership. The young legal fledglings generally stood in awe of him. But young Vance, .with an audacity that appalled all onlookers, won a victory over him one day. Vance was engaged as counsel in a case on - the opposite side from Woodfin. The .latter got up to ad dress the jury He was a tall, spare man, of a most nervous temperament, high-pitched voice, wild gesticula tion, sarcastic and sardonic. He worked himself into a furor in this instance. The wild waves of his ora torical anger followed fast and furious after each othejr, and it seemed as if the cause of Vance's clients would be drowned in judicial depths a thousand fathoms down. Col. Wood fin fairly sawed the air in the violence of his gestures. After a protracted speech he jeft his righteous cause to the jury. Then the doomed young lawyer got up to reply. All eyes were turned upon him, and he was. the ob ject ol great chuncks of pity. ' Walking boldly up to the jury, he struck a Woodfinian attitude and re tained it. He turned himself into a kind of Nick Woodfin kaleidoscope. He never opened his mouth, nor spoke a work, but continued to re produce all of Col. Woodfin's distor ted gestures. He sawed the air, he writhed, twisted, contorted, and made grimaces, for the space ot five minutes or so,, and then sat down, with a cool confidence that seemed to say "I have fully answered all my opponents arguments." Court and court house were con vulsed with laughter, and whether he gained a victory for his client or no, he gained a great one for himself. Charlotte Ooserver. Kriglit Spring DayH. The spring should be pre-eminently a season of contentment, happi ness, and hope. In these bright and pleasant months the country should enjoy its highest degree of tranquil ity and prosperity. But spring, it is well known, is often a period of dis comfort and disturbance in the phy sical system. Important organs of the body become torpid or irregular in their action, and the fact is instant ly reflected in the mental condition of the individual. A disordered liver means disordered nerves and a dull and unsteady brain. Anything which will bring the physical system into harmony with budding nature confers an enormous benefit upon the nation, besides the mere allaying of physical comfort. Hood's Sarsaparilla does this, as thousands of grateful and happy men and women can testify, and increased use of this standard spring medicine is of more real prac tical importance in promoting health and quiet in the business world than reams of abstract theorizing. For wakefulness, weakness or lack of energy take Simmons Liver Regula tor, f ' Winston Sentinel : A serious if not fatal accident befell Mr. Frank I Tise, driver for Mr. John Peddycord, about three o'clock Saturday after noon. . He was driving a twe-horse team about four miles north-west of JVVinston. The wagon was heavily loaded, having on one cord ol wood. The accident occurred in the woods. Tise was walking on the lower side ot the wagon on a "slant." One wheel on the upper side struck a stump, throwing the wagon and en tire load on the driver. Men at work in the woods went to the rescue of Tise. It required several minutes To remove the wood off of him. It was at once discovered that his injuries were serious. Dr. Summers, the at tending ; physician, says that three ribs on the left side are broken. He is also badly hruised on his face and body. : ' Hood's and Only Hood's.

Louisburg Times : Mr. Geo. Teasley, ot this county, is entitled to rank among the best farmers. He has just sold the last of his tobacco crop, made on five acres, and he says it brought him $1,100, dear check. He pays personal attention to his crop, and is well pleased with the prices he received. Southport Leader: Capt. John Watts, of the Cape Fear Life Saving Station, reports having seefl a piece j of wreckage about a mile and a half off" Cape Fear on the 2nd inst. and went to it on the 5th. The wreckage was the keelson, with small portion j of bpttom attached, of some vessel, ' and from the looks ol the timbers, had been in the. water a long time. Southport Leader : The Leader is indebted to Jesse Weeks for a cu riosity in the shape of a clam which 1 firmly held by its shell one of the claws of a.fish hawk. The curiosity was picked up at low water, and the situation points to the fact of the fish hawk having been walking about at low water seeking food, stepped in the open shell of the clam which was quickly closed, holding the bird until the rising tide drowned it. Madison Dispatch : T. Mc Woodburn comes to the front with a curio in the shape of an egg. He showed us last Saturday an egg on the small end of which was an "E" as perfect as it a . human hand had put it there.

Superstitious people may think strange things of this freak of nature but we assure them it is only the beginning of "Eternity," the end of "Time" nd "Space" and "Name" and "Plact .". :..''"' 1 Hend' rson Gold Leaf: Is it true that anator Ransom does not represent tire views of the laboring class in North Carolina, or is not in sympathy with it ?

Oxford Reformer. Panics have causes, and the .causes are purely commercial; The panic of 1837 arose from land speculation and the failure ot wild-cat State banks; the railway mania of 1845 caused a panic in England, and the panic of 1873 was from speculative causes, especially investments in rail way bonds. Nearly all panics are precipitated by over-confidence and over-credit. Winston Sentinel. Ex-Gov. Thos. M. Holt sends us a card in which he repudiates the idea that Congress ought to adjourn right now, and takes the same ground that the . North Carolinian has always taken. He stands flat-footed on the Democratic platform and wants Con gress to pass the Wilson bill -quick and adjourn. We never supposed that the ex-Governor wrote the arti cle criticised by us, but the people will be glad to hear from him on this matter as upon all , other ques tions. Raleigh North Carolinian. Those who are disappointed with Mr. Cleveland's personal legislation, if his actions as president could be so termed, should not allow - themselves to be too severe upon the party. Mr. Cleveland is only a man after all and his individual mistakes should not damage the party at large. - The Chicago platform has not changed one iota, nor has the bulk ot the great party that formulated it. On this platform the party has won, and mark our prediction, it will win again. Taiboro Southerner. The Mecklenburg Times submits that it is not fair to judge Ihe Demo cratic party by the acts of Cleveland, Ransom, or any other one man. The House is the best index of Demo cratic sentiment. It is to the House we look for a determined effort to fulfill the promises made in the Chi cago platform. We do not expect that it will do all that was promised. There are enough traitors in it to prevent that. But it is the best ex ponent of Democracy in existence, and if Speaker Crisp would apply the thumbscrew to Thos." Reed's gang, and their Democratic allies, and compel them to vote. Democrat ic legislation would, be expedited and the will of the people obeyed. Ox ford Ledger. There is one thing always to be said of President Cleveland, and that is, he does not discriminate against any section in the making of appoint ments. Few realize how much he has already recognized southern ability, i nree . cabinet othcers are from the South. - Two ambassadors and ten envoys extraordinary 'are from Southern States.

A young man living in this city, a clerk in a store on Fayetteville street, has had some queer experiencts. He has shed his skin entirely thir teen times in twenty-four years, and each time it has been replaced by a new skin. Before the shedding the body turns red and he has symptoms of scarlett fever. When fourteen years of age he shed his skin twice in one month. The change usually occupies about two weeks. The new skin replacing the old is usually so tender that it is impossible for him to walk on a carpet or rough floor. At times his finger nails and his hair have come out, and they have been replaced by the new in a short time. He has been able at times to break the skin in the palm of the hand nnd blow up the skin of the arm like a bolloon, showing that it was thor oughly loose from the new forma tion. He has with his own hands removed a piece of skin from a leg between the kneecap and thigh as large almost as the front of a vest. - This may be regarded as a fish story, but it is vouched for by the gentleman himself and others as well. It is a curious case. There is noth ing remarkable in his appearance when the shedding season is not on, and he has very good health all the time. Progressive Farmer.
