We have all heard of the old yian

We are told that the English crim

Russia is to have two new frigates

The reportsof Bismarck's resigna
tion of the office of Chancellor of
the German Empire have been con
firmed. In politics, as in business,
the rule is that no one man is essen
tial to ther preservation of the bal
ance of power, but this may prove
an exceptional case. Where is the
man who can All his shoes? It is not
often that such a wonderful intellect,
such remarkable mental vigor and
such a tenacious and persistent determination-are
united in one and
the sauicKman. He has been the
central figure in Continental poli
tics in Europe for years; with his
hand on the helm the death of two

haVe been moved by him at pleasure.
What the result of his resignation
will be remains to be seen. Already
leading European journals hint of
war in the near future.

The error was a clerical one and the

Masquerade IIallv
A grand masquerade ball was given
last night at Concordia Hall under
the auspices of the Harmony Circle,
of this city. It was purely a private
affair, and it was in every way
successful and enjoyable. The at
tendance was large and the floor
was filled with dancers. At mid
night the inevitable unmasking took
place and then an elegant supper
was served up by Mr. P. E. Kiley,
the caterer. Dancing was afterwards
resumed.
A Trip on the lihine.
Heidelberg Castle in particular
and the Rhine in general have been
very interestingly described by
Mark Twain in his "Tramp Abroad."
Its old ruined castles, with their
wealth of legendary history, its
rocky hillsides with vine-covered
terraces, and its ancient cities
with their graud cathedrals, all com
bine to make the Rhine a region of
special interest to visitors from all
parts of the world. Castles and le
gends, scenery and cathedrals, will
all be well brought out at the Opera
House next Monday night.
A His Thing.
The.Fayetteville correspondent of
the Lumberton Robesonian says:
The work on the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley road above Mt. Airy
is progressing finely. As soon as
the connection is made with the
Norfolk & Western oad the traffic
willj be immense. The Norfolk &
Western agrees to furnish this road
with three hundred car loads of coal
per day as freight. In anticipation
of this the shops here are a perfect
scene of activity, and cars are being
turned out which are equal to any
made in this counfry.
T The Cause of Pain.
An ache or pain is not of itself a
disease, it is but a -symptom, and
warns the sufferer that there is some
thing the matter with his physical
organization. Weak kidneys, bad
blood, and nervousness are frequent
ly the source or cause of the many
mysterious aching sensations that
afflict , the body. You can remove
the cause of such distress by using
B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm).
C. H. Robetts, Atlanta, Ga., writes:
"My kidneys were disordered and
gave me excruciating pain. A sin
gle bottle of B. B. B. helped me won
derfully." Wni. N. Nelson, McDonough, Ga.,
writes: "B. B. B. has benefited my
daughter very much. She was af
flicted with severe nervousness. I
think it the best family medicine."
W. R. Ellis, Brunswick, Ga., writes:
"I have tried B. B. B. and find it a
great thing for the blood. It also
cured me of rheumatic pains."
Walter Tates on Trial.
The trial of Walter Yates, for the
murder of W. T. Brown, in January
last, has taken up all of the time of
the Court to day. A venire of one
hundred had been summoned and
from this a jury was obtained about
noon. This jury is constituted as
follows: S. H. Mintz, Amos Perry,
Geo. T. Rav, C. E. Williams, Frank
Myer, W. H, Bell, A. S. Heide, G.
E. Quiiin. Nelson Jenkins, David W.

! Obstructions In the Eye.
An exchange says
? :
When you get
a cinder or speck
bf dust or other
j offensive partiele
in your eye, don't
iubit. Don't tonch it. Don't null
down the lid. Dipin't put your hand
near it. Let it alone. This is very
hard advice to fojilow, and in nine
cases out of ten S'ow will find your-
self rubbing your eye before you
j know it. But if you can refrain
! from touching your eye at all. the
action of that organ - will itself cast
out the offending mote in much
quicker time and with far less irra
tion, while your efforts would only
hinder it and perhaps fasten the in
truder so that it -will stay a long
time. Of course, if it is a particle of
metal you will consult a surgeon or
oculist at once, but ordinary sub
stances are best treated as above
indicated. Some people say: "Rub
the other eve,'' but this is of no use.
The Egypt Coal Mines.
The city is to be supplied with
coal from the Egypt miues, in Chat
ham county.1 This coal is bitumi
nous and is already used to a con
siderable extent here. The Egypt-
Coal Company will build three large.
sheds on tljj? premises of the C. F.
& Y.-V. R. R. at Point Peter, and
these will be counected with the
line of that road by side tracks. Mr.
Thos. F. Bagley is the agent here
for the company.
The extent and wealth of theDeep
River coal fields are not generally
understood. Dr. Emmons reported
on them in the year 1852 and again
in 185G. They are described by him
in detail. He says that the coal of
that district is of the best quality of
bituminous coal, is well adapted to
the manufacture of gas and iron and
is in such great quantities that it
may be considered as practically in
exhaustible. He estimates the area
of thejjeds at over 40 square miles,
containing more than 0,000,000 tons
to the mile, in all the enormous
quantity of 240,000,000 tons.
There are also bituminous slates
connected with .this coal of which
Prof. Emmons says: "From 30 to 40
gallons of crude kerosene oil exists
in everyr ton of these slates. They
are from 50 to 70 feet thick, and it is
proper to state that it a better oil
than is furnished from coal." These
estimates were confirmed by Admi
ral Wilkes in a report made by him
to the Secretary of the Navy in 1859.
He remarked at one timeto the late
Hon. Hugh Waddell, of this city,
that "there is no section of country
in the world, of the same area as
Chatham and Moore counties, that
is as rich in mineral resources as
are they."
Iff your neighbor is selfish, hard,
grasping, and suffering from a cold,
don't waste words on him, but heap
coals of fire on his head, by sending
