The Tarboro Enquirer-Southerner
says: We learn, just as we were going
to press, that Dr. John W. Moore, of
Williamston, committed suicide on

that her conduct had incurred for litr
tho odium and jealousy of other womon
in the neighborhood; and on the night
in question two women, disguised as
men, went to her house and forcing an
rntrance, beat her fearfully with rods,
and then poured melted tar upon her
lower limbs. Ilaving done this, thry
threw down the chimney. Suspicion
rests upon the injured wiTes of two
neighboring farmers.

other day we saw some mammoth cab
bages, round, perfect and solid, raised

is a granger, and devotes his best en
ergies to his vocation, carrying on his
truck farm 'vith fertilizers entirely of

tempted in this Bection.
The Salisbury Watchman says: It is
reported hero that a white Indy, a
Miss Lingle, was raped in the neigh
borhood of Organ Church, Rowan,
last Friday, by some fiend yet un
known. Miss Lingle was returning
from a visit to a neighbor's house
when she was attacked from the road
side by a white man whom she had
never before seen. The wretch seized
her when a struggle ensued which
lasted until the poor girl was exhaust
ed. We hear that the girl's clothes
were badly torn and herself badly
bruised and choked. The country
around has been searched, but the
miscreant has not yet been appre
hended. The Durham Tobacco Plant says:
Charlie Vickers, a son of Riley Vick
era, who lives about half a mile from
town, had the misfortnne to loose one
of his eyes last Sunday. He in com
pany wih several boys were out bird
ing with bows and arrows. They had
surrounded a brush-heap, in which
they had found some birds, and as the
birds would fly out they would shoot
at thsm. An arrow missed its mark
and struck young Vickers in the eye,
penetrating the ball, and in endeavor
ing to extricate the arrow he pulled
the ball out. This is a sad misfor
tune and we sympathize deeply with
the young man .J
The Newborn Times eays: At about
11:45 o'clock last night the fire-alarm
bell struck the signal, and rushiDg out
into the street we found a fire of in
creasing magnitude raging in the
neighborhood of the People's Market.
'The fire is simnoserf tr havA nricn'n-
atcd in Perry's warehouse at the foot
of tho Market dock, which was en
tirely destroyed, together with its con
tents, cotton, merchandise and
other articles of value, and which was
set on fire from the outside, and it is
thought by an incendiary. The fire
next caught the adjoining building,
Stanley's granary, enveloping it in
smoke and flame, so that it was be
yond the reach of human endeavor to
nave it. Next adjoining the granary
was a small saloon which the firemen,
by pre.it effort, while it was yet on
liie, dismantled and tore down, there
by helping to save the next building.
At this position, Duncan's store,
which caught on fire in several places
and by the strenaous efforts of tho
firemen was extinguished, the advance
of the fire-fiend was stayed and the
flames entirely subdued.
At the foot of the warehouse wharf
was lying the steamers Gary and
Hackensack within a few feet of the
fire and but for their timely removal
out into the stream would have been
placed in imminent danger. The mar
ket dock was crowded with various
crafts which luckily escaped any in
jury from the fire. The buildings
contained cotton and other combus
tibles tending to make the fire burn
with redoubted fury, and hastening
their destruction. It is estimated that
about eighty bales of cotton were
either damaged or destroyed, besides
many other articles of value. The loss
sustained was something over 811, OCX

Xtie Ice Ct op.
There is a crosDect of a short ice
crop and a consequent advance in pri
ces. Until the thaw of the past few
days, there was still a fair chance of a
good crop, but the prospect appears
now to be somewnat sum. a any
rate the quality of theice will be badly
damaged. The Courier says that an
advance from 30 to 40 cents a hundred
weight for the coming season is not
improbable, as the three companies
which mainly furnish the local trade of
the city require about 200,000 tons an
nually, of which amount only 100,000
to 125,000 tons has yet been secured
from the regular sources of supply.
The Boston Ice Company uses each
year about 123,000 tons, which is cut
on Quannapowit Lake, Horn Pond and
Fresh Pond. Week before last it had
stored about 800 tons, and resumed
work on the fourth. The Citizen's Ice
Company housed about 30,000 tons
early in the season, its business re
quiricg an aggregate of G4.000
tons. Of this amount 50,000 tons
is obtained from Leech's Pond,
at North Chelmsford, and the remain
der is purchased from a dealer who
cuts at Wellesley. The Union Ice
Company, which was organized two
vears ago by a number of gentlemen
r . . i i i i i , : .1
in tno wnoiesaie nsn ousinesn, auu.
which supplies fish dealers almost ex
clusively, cuts about 20,000 tons annu
ally at Wilmington. xne Jamaica
Pond Ice Company, which supplies
Roxbury and a portion of the Neck,
uses anj average oi xo.wv ions, auu
began work on the Cth instant on ten
inch ice, storing about 5,000 tons a
day. The Highland Ice Company is
also actively at work, and its houses
are by this time nearly filled from the
same source. In Walthom the ice men
are cutting twelve inches in thickness
from Charles River and some of the
ponds near. For the export trade
Jacob iiittinger cut at xresn rouu
year nearly 10,000 tons, which, with
the exception oi a sman amouui
for the retail trade, wa3 shipped to
coastwise ports. Thi3 year the sto
rage capacity has been increased to
130,000 tons, and cutting was begun
on Monday. Addison Gage & Co.
have storage capacity for 125,000 tons;
at Sandy Pond, Groton, 25,000 ; at
Spy Pond, Arlington, 60,000 ; and at
North Beverly, for 30,000 tons taken
from Wenham Lake. This firm cuts
entirely for export to coastwise ports
and the West Iudies, and has no doubt
of its ability to obtain a full stock.
Their work is now in progress at all
these places. The Tudor Company,
wh'ch exports its entire cutting of
Fresh Pond ice to East India and other
foroign places, did not cut a pound un
til a few days ago, waiting for thicker
ice, its trade demanding ice of the
very boat quality and of the greatest
possible thickness, to insure its ship
ment to distant countries at a profit.
Boston Advertiser.
Plain Talk from a. Black Coii(.rrv
man.
Congressman R. B. Elliot, col., who
is now in Columbia, made a speech in
that city on Monday night, which is
note-worthy as one of the signs of the
times. He told his hearers that the
Taxpayers Convention was no assem
blage of soreheads, bnt that it was
seeking to do the work which it was the
duty of the Republican party to have
accomplished. He rasped the State
Administration without mercy for its
violation of its most solemn pledges,
and washed his hands of all paiticipc
tioc in its bad faith. The salvation of
"The Party," ho declared, depc-ndtd
upon its instant reform of existing
abuses. A great change was taking
place in the politics of the country,
and it was useless for them to shut
their eyes to the fact. Jf you go to tho
North, he said, and mention the name
of South Carolina, you will find tin
estimate that they will put upon it
tliere. To mention South Carolina n;
to merit the sneers of the Comniou
weaMlis of tho North. AVheu corrup
tion v ;vh spoken of in other States, it
was a different thing, but when it was
spoken of in South Carolina, it was
laid to the blamo of a nero govern
ment. It was therefore, tho duty of
the colored people of South Carolina
to demonstrate to tho world that they
desired an honest government. It was
time that they did something to remove
this stigma. Continuing, (e quote
from the report in the Columbia l'nii )
he said:
"II the government is to g on from
bad to worse it would make the repre
sentatives ashamed to lise up and
plead their cause. It was with the
people to remedy this. He had told
them only of what Frelinghuysen.
Dawes, Sumner, Butler and others
were thinking,' and of what every man
who had travelled outside of South
Carolina must have heard, if ho kept
his eyes and ears open. The negroes
have been in the majority and voted
the element into power, and they are
responsible. They have been deceived;
wili the people be deceived a second
time? Will you permit this state of
things to continue? It cannot be hid
den, that there is something rotten in
Denmark. There must be no promised
reformation, but practical reform. If
there be any one in the way of that re
form he should be at once removed out
of the path, and now is the time to do it.
"The National Republican Party to
"day is ready to cut aloof upon the
"slightest provocation from the corrup
"tion now existing in the -South, and
"unless you do something, and that
"speedily, they will be compelled to
"cut off the rotten branches." ne
naa warned tnem ot tnis more tnan a
year ago; this was no new thing. One
thing he knew, that instead of being
better it appears to be growing worse.
The Taxpayers' Convention is no sore
head movement. Tho people have a
right to petition nnder the constitution,
and whpn it came, it would come from
his constituents, whether they voted
for him or not, and he was bound to
have it properly referred. That peti
tion will be considered; and do not
allow yourselves to be misled about it.
The only way you can prove that you
sympathize with an honest adminis
tration of affairs is for yon to give
notice to those who have mal-adminis-tered
affairs to quit, for you to bring
forward a new set of men. It is your
duty to vindicate yourselves, and
prove to the world that you are in
sympathy with all those who want a i
honest government. He had no cause
here to announce, or champion the
cause of any particular set. But it was
his duty to point attention to errors
that have nearly resulted in the bank
ruptcy of the State. It was time that
the hands that had caused these errors
were stayed. With the finances thriv
ing and the agricultural interest in
creased, it would be alike felt by the
rich and the poor. If the wealthy
man aimers, tne laborer sutlers ten
fold; if his taxes bring burdens, he
makes them up from the laborers."
Mr. Elliot closed his remarkable
harangue by telling the men of his race 1
now earnest was the public opinion of
the country and how unanimous was
the newspaper press in condemnation
of the corruption that reigns in South
Carolina. Charleston News & Courier.
Life insurance, which is now almost
as a test of civilization, is heavier in
this country than in any other. Tho
life insurance of the people of the
world is said to amount in the aggre
gate to $5,273,000,000, and is divided
among the civilized nations of the
globe in the following proportions:
The United States, $2,"750,000,000;
England, $1,636,475,000,000; Germany,
$270,000,000; France, $194,000,000;
Austria, $65,000,000; the rest of the
"world, $187,000,000. The estimate
shows that the life insurance of the
United States is larger than all the
other countries of the globe, which in
the aggregate amounts to $2,523,000,
000, which is $227,625,000 less than
the amount accredited to tho United
States.

e known Arthur Grave'y
I ha
well
and intimately.
A part, of
his dory
came to my
knowledge through my
... .!.a-t-ntinti nnil n. nart he told to
Unu uuot iimw-i - Jt
me himself.
Arthur came of an old, well-dehueU
and respectable stock, with justenorgh
of aristocratic pride inherited from ins
progenitors to give him refinementand
self-reliance. At an early age ho wa3
left an orphan, and received most of
his education under the caro of an un
cle. When he was one and twenty he
was admitted to the employ of a banker
named Vanderlaiu, and very soon took
a position of trust aud responsibility
in the house. A year later he took for
his wife Fanny Sommerton, one of the
fairest and sweetest of earthly treas
ures. Ho had loved her long and
truly, and her love in return had been
single and devoted. Thus was life
opening for Arthur Gravely with
bright aud happy promise. lie had
friends whichever way he turned; his
business pj-oapeets were of tho very
best; and his home was an earthly
paradise.
One enemy, and one enemy alone, at
this time stood in Arthur's path. His
wife did not see it then. She loved
him bo fondly and so trustingly that
she could not see a fault.
A few of Arthur's friends feared
danger, and one of them more bold
than the rest, spoke to him warningly,
but kindly; but he turned away from
the warning with a sneer ot aerision.
The months and the years went on
from twenty-two to twenty-eight.
fAi-r TADT9 of married life six vears
of blessing so far as the outer things
of life can give blessing. In the bank
Arthur had assumed a place very near
the head, and his salary was mu
nificent. From early youth Arthur Gravely
had fonnd the wine cup among the
svmbols of life's social phase, ne had
kept wine in his own house; he had
used it upon his sidebeard and upon
his table; and he had partaken freely
abroad. In the earlier years it was
wine, and only wine of the best and the
purest. Later, stronger liquors were
required to keep up the tone. At the
age of eight and twenty, there had
come an undue flush upon Arthur's
check, aud there were blotches in the
eye which ought not to have been
tbtre. He now took brandy before
bi eakfast, and through the day he was
forced to supply fuel to feed a fire
whieh else might have consumed all
bodily comfort. As yet he had never
been hopelessly intoxicated, ne was
confident in his own strength.
Alas ! for the man thus failing ! He
knows not that his powers of under
standing arc dying out as the body
fades aud perishes.
At length, Mr. Vanderlaiu called Ar
thur iulo his private closet, and told
him he was going to suspend busi
ness. -"I have money enough," said Mr.
Vanderlaiu," and I kuow that my
close application to business is wear
ing upon me. I am crrowine: vears.
and need
rest
think ol go;u
to
Europe."
"And of closing up vour
business
"Yes."
"But sir, there is no need of that.
If yon will trust your bank under the
guidance of some capable and respon
sible agent, with your name ut its
head, it might go prosperously on, and
you could go awav upon vour trip at
will."
A cloud came upon the banker's fao?,
and he shook his head.
"Jt is too late," lie snid. "At .-.nmo
time I may tell you more."
Shortly after litis, in process of clos
ing hi- business, Mr. Vanderlaiu sent
Arthur to a distant city to make some
important settlements. Arrived at his
destination, tho youugmau called upon
the correspondents of the bank, and
having made preliminary arrangements,
he founds himself with a few days upon
his bauds which he might enjoy.
On the very evening of his arrival he
had fallen in with John llatton and
William Roberts, two friends and
class-mates of earlier years. He was
startled when he saw them. They
were evidently going down hill were
drinking to excess. He tpent a first
and a f-ecoud night in their company.
On this second night, for the first time
in his life, Arthur Gravely drank to a
state of helpless stupefaction. He
awoke the next day feeling sad and
humiliated. When he met hi3 com
panions in a private parlor connected
with their sleeping apartments, lie
found them with a bowl of hot brandy
between them. A spirit of true friend
liness came upon him when he saw the
marks of tue destroyer so deeply fixed
upon the companions of li's boyhood.
"Boys, said he, "this won't do.
You are going down,"
They regarded him curiouslv and
asked what he meant.
He told them what he meant. They
were m a dangerous way.
"You forget, old boy," said Hattcn,
"that you are in the same boat. If we
took passage before you, it is no less
sure that our route is now the same
Don t preach, Arthur. Try a, bit of
hot brandy."
There are moments in a lifetime
great crisis when the events of the
past flash before the mind as upon
magic mirror when a man in a brief
instant, recalls every salient point ot
his earthly career. Such a rroment
was the present to Arthur Gravely.
"Let it alone," he said solemnly,
"I tell you Jack, and you Will, that
you are going down You can't last
much longer at this rate."
-.-.en, retorted itooerts, witii an
attempt to laugh, "it appears to me
that what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. Had you belter
try to let it alone yourself!
"If I will try it, vill you try it ?" he
asked.
"Will you try it?" demanded Hat-
ton.
"I will if you will join me."
"Done
And they did it. They joined hands.
and promised cno another that they
..ill i. i .
woniu De true ana steaaiast.
A new surprise was in store for Ar
thur Gravely. He fouod upon cutting
off his ppirituous liquors that his
body weakened and tliat h:B hands
shook as though with palsy. He an-
pi'eu io a puysician ior neip. f ortu
nately he applied to a man of sense
and understanding.
-jan you give me something to
steady my nerves and restore my ap
petite ?" Arthur asked, after having
fi ankly stated his case.
"This shows you, my dear sir," said
the physician, "into what a dano-ernns
state you had fallen. I can give you
something to steady your nerves, but
it would not help you in the end. Tf
you will be brave and true von will
come out all right in a very few
days."
Arthur said he s' ould not go back.
He wanted no stimulant no more of
that.
The tri il was a severe one, and it
may havejbeen a blessed thing for Ar
thus Gravely that it was so. He felt
more heroism in the conquest, and he
also saw more clearly how deeply the
evil habit had become fixed upon
him. On the morning of the fourth
day of his trial he awoke with an ap
petite for food, and was able to eat
a hearty breakfast. He was a new
man from this time forth. Tho physi
cian had given him a certain hygenic
direction which ho followed implicitly
and thus he held fast upon his health
as it came back to him.
And on this fourth day Arthur saw
Hatton and Roberts. They had kept
the faith, and had been unexpectedly
prosperous. An excellent opening in
business had been presented and ac
cepted. On the fifth day the business which
had brought Gravely from home was
concluded, and set out on his return,
And the last struggle had passed. His
nerves had became steady, hi3 appf
tit had started up as if by magic; his
c' c k had grown tuir; and the white
of Ii.s eye w; g. owing clear and
pearly asrasn.
lie roHched hi own city in the
mornii'g, aud went first to tho bank
and gave in a return of his business.
Mr. Vanderlaiu had glanced quiukly
and cas;erly into his face when h first
en eied, and a woiiderous change c n
noon the banker's manner as the busi
ness proceeded'.
Something nr-ide
tne business, in 1
and ii it i evident I y on
hio mind.
Arthur did not lea L
time for dinner; but l;e
ii;i home until
li.id sent ;i 1" iv
from tho bank with word tht he is'sould
be there.
"Fanny?"
"D-u-hn- !
O, I 'i bo glad to see
you back ! '
Something made tho wife even h;rp
pier than she had thought a3 she rest
ed within her husband's embrace ; but
n the sudden joy she could not see
it she could only feel a great warmth,
like the glow of heaven, as Arthur's
kiss came, sweet and pure, to her lips.
A they entered the dining-room
Arthur saw the decanter of wine near
his plate.
"Take it away, Fanny," he said,
smiling.
"If you want it hereafter as a medi
cine, keep it. For myself I shall not
want it."
"Not want it ? Arthur ?"
"I have done with it forever !"
He spoke solemnly, with a manliness
that was strong and reliant.
And the wife saw whence had come
the great warmth to her heart saw it
in the pura cheek, and in the clear eye,
as she had caught it in the sweet
breath.
"Arthur my husband," she whis
pered, as though hardly daring to trust
her own senses, "is it true ? Do you
mean forever V"
"While I live, darling, God giving
me strength and reason."
Fanny was upon the opposite side of
the table. She tried to speak bnt her
voice failed her. She turned white
then she pressed her hands for an in
stant upon her heart and then, as the
crimson flood once moro bounded on
its course, she covered her face, and
sank down weeping like a child.
Arthur was by her side in a moment.
"Fanny! My wife whhat is it?"
She looked up and caught his
startled gaze through her tears. With
a quick movement she threw her arms
around his neck and pillowed her head
upon his bospom.
"Oh, Arthur! bless you! bless! I
could die for joy if I did not feel that I
could find more happiness in living
now for you.
Here was a new revelation. Arthur
Gravely now learned hov his sweet
wife had suffered without daring to
complain how the worm had gnawed
at her heart saw it all the more
clearly because he saw in this present
time her surpassing joy aud ecstaey.
Nov. many words were spoken. This
was not the time for such a heart-moving
theme and as they eat the meal
Arthur tohl of his trip to the distant
city.
After dinner Arthur went out to
carry a budget to a neighbor, and
when left alone, Fanny s-at down and
cried again for joy. Aud so Mr. Van
derlaiu found her. He had stopped
in passing to do an errand.
"Mrs. Gravely! What has happen
ed? What is wrocg?"
"Wrong?" she repeated, looking up.
"O, sir. it is for joy I am crying."
And then she told hiui the source of
new happiness that hail opened to her.
Mr. Vanderlaiu listened, and after a
deal -f thought he slowly said, with
his hand upon Fanny's fair head
"Dear child, you may rejoice with
out fcir. ff Arthur Ins pledged Ids
honor to this new life, be sure lie will
keep the hii.h!"
luXst of the afternoon Arthur spent
at the bank; and as he sat at the tall
in the private othVe waiting l'tr thu
banker, a feeling of sadness and regret
came upon Ii tut. U would bo hard to
leave tho old place, and it might, be a
long, long time before lie could find
another so pleasant.
It was towards e vening when Mr.
Vanderlaiu came in, looking Hushed
and self-satislir d.
' I have kent vou wailiii" Arthur.
but I have been busy. I have made
a most important change in my pro
gramme. "
"Ah! And you are not g"ing
awav
"Yes I shall go to Europe, but I
shall not give up my banking business.
I have found a new man one safe,
reliable aud competent who. I think,
will take my business while I am ab
sent." "Mr. Vanderlaiu," cried the young
man iramuy, "l am giad of this, for J
know I shall be able to persuade you
to-let me keep my place in your cm
ploy." The banker shook his head.
Arthur termbled, and started to
speak.
"Tut, tut not your presscnt place,
Arthur. Know that you are the new
man. If yon will take charge of my
business, I shall not let it go from me;
and I shall leave it in your hands,
knowing that both it and you will pros
per, What say you?"
"Mr. Vanderlain!"
"Ah! my boy, I have seen your wife.
I found her crying for joy. And when
she told me whence her joy came, 1
knew there was joy for me also. To
the new man I give my entire confi
dence, and in hi hands I fear not to
trust my name and honor."
It was Arthur Gravely's turn now to
weep; and he could no more help it
than he could have helped the great
flood of peace and blessedness that
flowed in upon his heart.
"My dear boy," said the banker,
afterwards, "I did not speak to you in
tlu other times as, perhaps, I ought.
I knew how you treated others who
did speak, and I forbore. I had irv
tended to speak, however, before I
went away, and, if possible, to get you
a good place. But it is all done now.
God bless and keep you."
And now, looking back, Arthur
Gravely sees how near upon the fearful
brink he stood. From his position of
wealth, honor and love, he o:ia see the
dark pit from which ho escaped, and

Ledger.
Mr. Bancroft is at work on the tenth
volume of his "History of the United
States," v Inch will be glad news for
those who began the perusal of that
interesting serial forty years ago.
From all parts of the country ve
learn of the prevalence of frauds by
parties entrusted with public funds.
In Iowa, twenty-four county treasur
ers are announced as defaulters; the
frauds and embezzlements of internal
revenue officers are published almost
daily. Even church officers seem to
catch the epidemic, as we learn that
tho sexton of a church in Troy, N. Y.,
is in jail on the charge of embezzling
$2,300 belonging to the society.
The New York Tribune figures up
the National, State, county, town aud
city debts of the people of the State of
New York to be $516,000,000, or more
than $500 for each adult male inhabi
tant of sound mind and ordinary
health! If "a national debt is a national
blessing," the people of New Y'ork
must revel iu that luxury.
The aggregate wealth of Pennsyl
vania in real and personal prorwrtv.
- .
banking, minerals, productions, etc.,
etc., is seven thousand millions, as
near as figures can approximate. The
population, at least four millions,
equally divided, would cive each indi-
Tidual $1,750.
