A Painful Accident.
M. J. T. Hale, a youngmau hard
ly out of his teens, met with a very
distressing accident this morning.
He was, employed in the machine
shops of the W. & W. R. R. and
while at work on a bolting machine
hisjeft hand was caught in a cog
and badly crushed. He walked
dowrrto Dr. Wood's office, whers it
was found necessary to amputate
the forefinger. There are "some
hopes, we understand, of saving the
middle finger, which is also badly
hurt.

to be taken as an indication of the
merits of those which - are to follow

commending it to all of our readers.
It is especially designed for the
ladies, as its name would indicate,
and covers a variety of subjects in
which the dear creatures are pecu
liarly interested. The frontispiece
is a fashion plate and it has a great
deal to say about fashions. There
is a large and handsome miscellany

The Confederate Pensioners.'
A call has been made for the Con
federate veterans who are receiving
pensions from North Carolina to as
semble z at their respectice court
houses in each county on Saturday,
January 22nd, and appoint three
delegates for each county to repre sent
them at the convention at Ral
eigh, December 22nd. There is ev
ery evidence of large attendance at
the convention an 1 it is hoped that
all the counties will be prompt to
appoint delegate. The railroads
have agreed to - give the veterans
free transportation to Raleigh, and
the News and Observer says that ar
rangements are now on foot by pub
lic Bpirited "citizens" to prepare suit
able accommodations for the veter
ans while there. The Newbern
Journal says:
The General Assembly four years
ago appropriated $30,000 per annum
to be distributed to this unfortunate
class of our citizens, and it gives
them a little more than eight dollars
ner capita. The next General As
sembly ought to increase the sum to
at least one hundred thousand dol
lars, and we hoDe the convention to
assemble in Raleigh on the 22nd of
January will demand it. The State
is growing in weaitn, wniie tfnese
poor criples, who gave four years
of the best of their lives in the ser
vice of the State,' are eking out an
existence that ought to cause the
legislators of the State to blush with
shame. Commendable efforts are
being made to advance the cause of
nubhe education, regardless or race,
color or previous condition, but the
unfortunate uon federate who lost a
leg, an arm, pr was otherwise uis
abled,is given a pittance of less than
ten dollars per annum, and this
little mite has only recently been
bestowed.

"An Exquisite Christmas Present."
-BY' PALMER COX.
Christmas is at hand, and so is
Palmer Cox, with another of his in
imitable "Queer People" books, but
this book surpasses both the others
in the weirdness of its wit, dealing
as it does with gay goblins, grim
giants, comical clowns, merry mon-
arclis ana an sons oi queer touts.
By long odds this is the jolliest
Christmas book we have yet seen.
Hon. D. N. Richardson says: "If
you don't get a supply of it. into my
ward soon the neighbors' children
will tear my house down." Critics
of all - classes commend it. Major
General O. O. Howard says: "It is
singularly happy, and will be popu
lar among old and young." The
eminent novelist, Geo. W. Cable,
says:- "His pages are ever welcome
visitors in a house with children in
it," while the elegant Amelie Rives
writes "one does not have to wish
one's self a child again to enjoy such
books because one feels a child still
after reading them." General Lew
Wallace pronounces it "An exquis
ite Christutaspresent for the little
ones of a household," while Mrs.
Lew Wallace declares, ''Many a
child will dance with delight over
this charming Christmas gift,
From an avalanche of such com
mendations one more should be
added. Robert J. Burdette, the
noted humorist, exclaims, "Happy
and gifted -indeed is Palmer Cox,
who can take a pencil in one hand
and a pen in the other and draw
nietures and write poems for all
sort of people, from the ages of five
to fifty,-' In all of which praises
heartiIvconc.tr. It is a dais v.
