THE N., W. tC. ROAD.
THE 1.NSI1IK COAST LINK 100 M1I.KS
8IIOHTEI1 llEl'WEEN NEW YOUK. AND
FLORIDA.
i A committee in the interest of the
Norfolk, Wilmington and Charleston
lluilroad lias been prospecting along the
lino in North Carolina. Their route has
been from Tarboro to Greenville, Pitt
county; thence to Kinston, Lenoir county;
Burgaw, Pender county; Point Caswell,
Pender county, and then via the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad to
Wilmington. Tho party claim no enter
est in the survey of lines or engineering
capacity, but are acting in the interest of
trade, commerce and manufactures and
the best interests of the projected inter
Jjriso. The idea is to build the road as
nearly as possible in a direct line from
.Norfolk via Wilmington to Chailcston,
shorting distance and avoiding competi
tion. The capital stock of the company
is $6,000,000, an amount sufficient to
build the road. It will traverse a section
of country 400 miles long, and from 25
to 50 miles wide, hitherto cut oft' for the
most part from any railroad facilities, bo
lides opening np a vast and profitable
t boat trade along the rivers. This will
be the inside Atlantic Coast Line, and
With its connections with feeders will
fhorten the distance from New York
to Florida over 100 miles bo'ow that of
existing Hoes. Its connection at Norfolk
will be with the Pennsylvania Railroad
System. It is needless to dwell upon the
benefits to ho gained either in passen
ger or truek and si a pie traffic, together
.with general merchandise. The nee.
Hirily reduced expenses of the road, with
its choice of a most fruitful territory, and
the compnrativeIy lighter cost, of modem
.Toadway, together with the ambitious life
of the country which it will traverse, all
. combine to secure marked results under
prudent ui ungeinent. It will have a
tshoice of termiuals north and sou'h along
the seaboard, and will likely use all of
the best. The company in its prospectus
uses clearly forcible arguments, without
rhetorical attempt, ami its, summing up
of cost of operating and construction
shows the most convincing without
Straiuing comparisons. Manufacturers'

THE PASTOR'S CALL.
THE LADY'S PARROT TOLD HIM HE WAS
A TRAMP.
A lady living ou Remscn avenue, New
Brunswick, owns a parrot. A new pas-
tor has recently been established over the
lady's church, and a few days ago he
went to make his first pastoral visit. The
front door was open, but the Veuetian
blind door was closed, and Poll was in
itbo cage just behind it. As the pastor

"Go away, please."
"But I wish to see the lady of the

"Go away, please. We haven't a cold

"You are mistaken. I am not a
tramp. I wish to see the lady of the
house on business."
I ' Go 'way I" screamed Poll, wrathfully.
! "Go 'way, you dirty tramp. I'll call the
police. Police I polieo."
I This was too much for tho modest
I minister, and in very considerable won-
dcrment he abandoned his cull.
HOW FAST A PUKMOM GROWS.
The mean length of boys at birth is
18 inches and of girls 18 inches.
Growth is most rapid immediately after
birth, and diminishes continually until
about five years of age. From then uu-
i til sixteen years the annual growth is 2 1 5
f inches; during the next two years 1 inch
only. The mean height of man is 5 feet
6 inches. A man is taller in the morning
than at night by half an inch.

SOME ORIGINAL SAYINUS OK THE REV
EREND I.ECTt'RER.
A dude is a pimple on creation which
shows that its blood is out of order.
Squeeze this pimple you have the dudine.
Politics is a dirty cess pool the worst
this side of perdition.
I met one day a grand, noble man,
and auothcr day I met a grand, noble
woman. Then one day I met one of
these little fellows, a man so small that
he could look through a keyhole with
both eyes at the same time, and a man
so small that a fly could sit on his uosc
and paw him in one eye while ho kicked
hiiii in the other. Then I met one of
those silly, giggling, dancing, novel read
ing girls an I I knew she would never
"get there" she would evaporate before
she had time to get there.
I want to see women so grand that ouc
of theso little dudes will drop dead in his
tracks when ho gets within ten feet of
her. Some of you may think I am per
sonal, but if you just keep quiet no one
will ever know that you are hit.
A lawyer is next lo a preacher as a
great moral force in a community. Hut
one of these little petti fogging follows
who will do anything for five dollars and
say ho did it ''as an attorney" will hop
around iu hell and say he is there "as an
attorney."
Most preachers are ouly fit to marry
the living and bury the dead.
We need a gospel which will make
men better husbands, better fathers and
belter citizens.
I hud rather a preacher pulled a pistol
on me than a manuscript, for the pistol
sometimes misses you, but the old manu
script hits you every time.
Infidelity is au attempt at a dirty joke
on God.
A boy who runs after Rob Ingcrsoll
needs boring for the hollowhead and
bleeding in the frog of the foot.
I believe Cleveland is the grandest
man who has been iu the White House
for a hundred years. He has a backbone
bigger than Harrison's hat.
If the devil were elected President of
the United States and (he whisky should
be driven out he would resign the posi
tion in two weeks.
FA I,I4 TEETH Til A T GROW.
According to the Kolnische Volkr
zeitung, a Moscow dentist appears to
have solved the problem of supplying the
human mouth with false teeth which
will grow into the gums as firmly as
natural ones Dr. Zuamensky has per
formed several successful operations on
dogs, as well as human beings. The
teeth are made of gutu percha, porcelain
or metal, as the case may be. At the
moot of the false tooth holes are made.
Holes are also made upward into the
jaw. The tooth is then placed in the
cavity. In a short time a soft, granu
lated growth finds its way from the pa
tient's jaws into the holes in the tooth;
this growth gradually hardens and holds
the teeth in position. It is stated that it
does not matter whether the cavity in
which the tooth is to be placed is one
from which a natural tooth has been re
cently been drawn, or whether it has
been healed for some years.
FROM NATURE'S STOREHOUSE.
It stands to reason that a medicine
which will destroy the germs of contagi
ous blood poison and counteract the ef
fects of mercurial blood poisoning may
be depended the diseases that have their
origin in malaria, or that have their seat
in an impure condition of the blood.
This is what S. S. S. has done, and a
remedy for tho long list of affections that
display their activity during the spring
and summer months, it stands without a
rival. The secret of this is that it is a
ietnedy drawn from nature's own store

"VERII.Y I SAY I NTO YOI', INASMUCH
AS YE HAVE DONE IT I NTO ONE OK
THE LEAST OK THESE, YE HAVE DONE
IT UNTO ME "
Tho world has not yet wholly confessed
Christ as its Kiug and owned H is Word
as its law; but there are instances in which
a common action or a general forbearance
is acknowledgment of II is Divine author
ity. The king's warrant runs. A few
years since three small children a boy
and two tiny maidens traveled from
Kultn, in Germany, to St. Louis, in the
Uuitcd States. The oldest was ten and
the youngest four. Escort they had
none. They were innocent of any lan
guage but the tongue of the fatherland.
Their parents had gone before, and had
worked and saved, and at last sent home
the money to bring out the bairns.
It seemed a reckless thing to send
such young and defenseless children a
journey of four thousand miles; but they
were tenderly committed to God's provi
dence, and they had a passport. The
guardian who saw them off no doubt
with many a tremor gave the cider girl
a copy of the New Testament, and told
her in every case of difficulty or doubt to
show the flyleaf to the interrogator.
The children's names stood there, and
their destination; and something more
was added viz , these words: "Verily
I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these, yo
have done it unto me."
The little travcle: obeyed her orders,
and the text was indeed her protection,
and the children's charge cn Christian
sympathy and aid h red until they
reached their emigrant abode aud their
waiting friends They had journeyed
safely iu the shadow of a Royal Proclu
niation.
GOOO ( ANDY CHEAP.
YOU NEEDN'T PAY ANYTHING LIKE 40
CENTS A POUND FOR IT.
Andrew J. Hope, who knows a thing
or two about the candy business, said to
a Herald reporter the other day: "The
basis of all candy is, of course, refiued
sugar. There is no adulteration about
that, and it sells by the barrel for 4J cents
a pound. All plain candies, such as
horehound, ieeland moss, molasses, pep
permiut, will cost the big manufacturer
uudcr one cent a pound to manufacture.
A good workman will easily make 300
pounds a day, which, when retailed at 10
cents a pound, allows the manufacture
nearly 100 per cent, profit. The pure
material is so cheap that, if there were
nothing else to be taken into considera
tion, it would not pay to adulterate such
candy.
IMPORTANT niXISION.
The United States Supreme Court la.-t
week rendered through Chief-Justice
Fuller an opinion on the liquor question
which is ofgieat importance to all the
States. The importance of the decision
is that it upholds the State authority as
against National authority, and that it
settles beyond all controversy that the
police regulations of a State prohibiting
the introduction of intoxicating liquors,
can be enforced, despite the original pack
age decision of tho Supreme court. The
case came up on habeas corpus from
Kansas. Justices Gray, Harlan and
Brewer, whil'cascnting to the general
purport of the opinion, differed in' some
minor particulars. The decision is grat
ifying to the prohibitionists. They re
gard it as entirely upsetting the orignal
paekage decision of about two years ago
and sustaining entirely tho police powers
of the several States to regulate the liquor
traffic within their respective borders.
The Spring Medicine.
The popularity which Hood's S.irsapii
rilla has gained as a spring medicine is
wonderful. It possesses just those ele
ments of health-giving, b'ood -purifying
and appetite restoring which everybody
Mucins to need at this s-asoii. It pur fits
tho blood and makes tho weak strong.
TEACHERS MEET.
THIRD SESSION OK Til E ASSOCIATION AT
POTKCASI.
The third session of Northampton
Teachers' Association was held here on
May l!!5rd. The meeting was well at
tended and much interest manifested by
teachers and people of Potecasi and i
ciiu'y. Hie meeting was called to order

iu a discussion of '-How to Create and
Sustain an Interest among the Pupils of
our Schools," and Mr. II. 1?. Peebles on
"Dignity and Importance of the Teach
ers' Vacation."
In the afternoon llev. F. M. Edwards,
of (M. E. Church) MurfVcesboro, deliv
ered an eloquent address, which was
much enjoyed by all present. Ho said
it is the duty of the State, and not the
Church, to support and maintain the
primary schools, appropriate more money
for such schools, and keep them open for
more than four or five months in the
year, and pay teachers reasonable salaries.
He insisted that the education should fit
the boys aud girls for their final destiny
and not merely for the present existence
in this world.
He spoke for au hour and was warm
and earnest in his advocacy of more aud
better schools and was listened to with
close attention.
Mrs. lieiila Maget, assisted by the
choir of Potecasi church, furnished music
for the occasion.

session of the Association at Rich Square
on Thursday, July 30tli, aud to invite

The work of renovation and repairs
now nears completion, and in a few days
