The Gulon Line is now having
constructed a steamship that will
crosa the water between New. York
and Queeustown in five days.
North Carolina is bounded orf

by Crab Tree creek, on the third by

The uncertainty concerning titles
Is thought to be a cause of dulness
in New York real estate. Many of
the old family properties were set
tled in a careless manner, and in
some instances heirs have reappear
ed causing perplexity and confus
ion. ' : !
It is to be hoped the Democrats
of Wake county and of the so-called
'Metropolitan" district will put
themselves together now and
not iet the eneiuv canture their
fort this time, as he did the last. It
isn't verycomplimentry to a candi
date for Governer of the trreat
commonwealth of North Carolina
to say that he hrtils from a district
which ought to be Democratic but
but wliich isn't.
A cobra bite has been cured. Dr.
Richards, as reported by the India
Daily News, was handling a cobra
with the intention of extracting
some poison, when he was bitten on
the finger. He' immediately cut it
open to the bone, above the wound,
and applied permanganate of pot
ash, put on a ligature, and hurried
off for advice. Another doctor open
ed the wound and cauterized it with
nitric acid, and Dr. Richards has re
covered.
A young gentleman of France.one
evenincr aftera dance, made a. bet
while sunniriir that he could swal
low a raw egg without breaking the
shell, and he iNd so. A few days
afterward he experienced violent
pains; the doctor auiutuisterea a
strong emetic, the eggj came back?
but broken, and out sprang a young
chicken. The warmth of the young
man's stomach had produced the
unexpected result, and if any one
doubts the truth of the story, say
those who vouch for it, he can go to
Chalons and see the chicken that
was hatched.
The monument comtuittee of the
Pickett Association of Richmond,
Va., have submitted a plan for the
proposed monument to the late Gen.
Georg E. Pickett hi that city. The
hexagonal design h recommended.
The. entire height of the shaft will
be about eighteen feet, with vixrus
ticjcolumns and six bronze plates
for inscriptions one for Gen. Pick
ett, one for each of the four brig
ades and one for the artillery. The
cost of the monument will be about
$1,100, and sufficient money has
been subscribed to justify the Aeso-
tion in contracting for" the erection
of the monument.

The sphinx has spoken. Mr.
Blaine has written from Paris to his
henchman and chief bottle-washer,
Whitelaw Ueid, and again declines
to accept a nomination which has
not yet been tendered him. -This
may, or may not, be the final decis
ion of the author of the Mulligan Jet
ten?. He says:
Assuming that .the Presidential
nomination could by any possible
chance be offered to me, J could not
accept it without leaving in the
minus of thousands of these men the
impression" that I had not been free
from indirection, and therefore
could not accept it at all. The mis
representations of malice have no
weight, but the just displeasure of
friejKls I could not patiently endure.
' We have lost and of course we
feel bad about it.. But the bitterest
part of the -whole thing is that the
nomination was given to a section
which in no way deserves it. Per
contra, the Cape Fear section is al
ways Democratic ami can always be
relied upon to do its duty. It was
here that reform was first started; it
was hnre that the plans of the cam
paign which led to the overthrow of
W. W. 11 olden and his gang of cut1
throats was planned and it was here
that originated and was enforced
the Huggestion for a new constitu
tion. And yet we are overslaughed
and disregarded, although It. Is the
first time in more than half of a cen
tury that we have asked to name
the head of the party in the State.
When Gen. Cox telegraphed from
Raleigh to Lumberton to hold Robe.
son and save the. State, the reply
was prompt, emphatic and decisive-
Robeson was held, I the State was
saved and the infamous Holden's
power was forever broken in North
Carolina. Had the situation. been
somewhat reversed and had some
body in Lumberton wired somebody
else in Raleigh to hold Wake and
save the State wc wonder what the
response would have been! n

Kock Crystal Spectacles and Eyeglasses
Advice to old and young: In se
lecting spectacles you should be cau
tious not to take more magnifying
vowcr than has been lost to the eve
as in the same proportion that you
pass that point of increase, will cause
you further injury to the eye. Using
glasses of stronger power than is ne
cessary is the daily cause of prema
ture old age to the sight. You can get
the best at Heinsberger's.

The American for Jane. ; ,
The June issue of the The Amcri
can Magazine is an exceptionally
brilliant number. The illustrations
and letter-Dress are excellent, and
the contents varied" and entertain
ing. Among the notable features is
an interesting and finely illustrated
paper on "Our Defenses frpm an
Army Standpoint;" "The Art of En
tertaining," and "Dickens on-the
American Stage." The mqntli fur
nishes Ziteila Cocke with the text
for a pretty poem, ;"June.", "Bar
bados: The Elbow Island,'j is de
scribed in an illustrated paper. The
concluding portion of "My j Dream
of Anarchy and Dynamite" is quite
as interesting as the May j instal
ment. Another illustrated article is
'Ecuador and her Cities." Hamlin
Garland contributes another of his
poetic-prose descriptions of "Boy
Life on the Prairie," dealirig with
the time "Between Hay an' "Grass."
'OtherT6ems are "The Sky land the
Wood," and "Evening." In this in
stalment of "Two Coronets," Mary
Agnes Ticker brings her readers
back to New England. ; The number
contains three short stories of merit:
'Dinner for Two," "In His Own
Country," and "From' Out the
Pines." The departments arejun
usually full and interesting, i
