The New Eniliib Cardinal.
The most significant, and perhaps
the most important, of all the appoint
ments made by the Pope at the recent
Consistory, is said to be that of Mgr.
Howard. The new English-speaking
Cardinal belongs to the great ducal
house of Norfolk, which heads the
peerage of England. He is a grand
nephew of Bernard, twelfth Duke of
Norfolk, who was himself the great-grand-nephew
of the only member of
this ancient Catholic family who evr
wore the purple of a Prince of the
Church. Philip Howard, the grand
son of Thomas, Earl of Arundel, the
brilliant and accomplished nobleman
who did so much two centuries and a
half ago to introduce Italian taste
and a knowledge of Italian art into'
England, tookorders at an early age.
He was Lord Almoner to Catherine
of Braganza, the Queen of Charles II.,
and was a member of the conclave
which elected Innocent XI., the
withstander of the Grand Monarque.
Edward Henry Howard, the new
Cardinal, was born in 1829, and will
be the youngest member of the Sacred
College, Cardinal Bonaparte being one
year his senior. He is the only son of
Captain Edward Howard, by his
marriage with Miss Heneage, of Hain
ton, and in early youth entered the
Second Life Guards. A year or two
before the outbreak of the Crimean
war he suddenly threw up his com
mission and left London for Rome.
He was then young, handsome, the
master of a competent fortune, con
nected with the highest circles of
English society, and much admired
and liked by all who knew him. The
mystery attending his abjuration of
the world, its temptations and its.
honors,-has never been cleared up.
But his career as a priest in Rome has
been one of great credit to himself
and to his Church. He has been
conspicuous for years in works of
charitv and inercy, and has taken a
particularly active part in superin
tending the hospitals, civil and mili
tary, or tne internal uity. te was
sometime aaro created ArchbishoD in
partibus of Neo-Csesarea, is a canon of
St. Peter's and Bishop-coadjutor of
F rase at i. He has once or twice been
employed on missions of some delica
cy, but he has never hitherto obtained
any of the higher offices of the Church.
He has the reputation of being a man
of considerable learning, and of sweet
and stately character. His simplicity
of manners, nis intimate Knowledge
of Rome, and his courtesy have long
made him a favorite with the better
class of English and American travel
lers in Italy, without distinction of
sect.
Cardinal Howard will be the fourth
English-speaking member of the
Sacred College, the others being
Archbishop Cullen, of Dublin; Arch
bishop Manning, of Westminster, and
Archbishop McCloskey, of .New York.
Adventure with a Panther In the
Adirondack.
Mr. Yerplanck Colvin returned to
this city yesterday after a fortnight's
sojourn among the Adirondacks where
he has been doing some very im
portant topographical engineering.
He brings with him a natural curiosi
ty in the shape of a large panther, an
animal now becoming comparatively
rare in tne wilderness. While ex
ploring with his guides all on snow
shoes the country in the southwest
of the Raquette Lake region, one day,
toward evening, fresh tracks of the
"mountain lion" were met with just
where the party proposed to make
their camp for the night in the snow
Looking around they beheld a deer
which had been killed by the panther.
and taking the trail of the beast they
commenced pursuing him. Half an
our later he was discovered standing
boldly on a dead tree on the edge of a
fearful precipice, only twenty or
twenty-five feet from his pursuers.
glaring down upon them. Without
taking off his snow shoes, Mr. Colvin
raised his rifle, and in another instant
sent a bullet through the creature's
brain. Falling from his strong
hold, the panther was precipstated
over the cliffs, in all a distance
of 160 feet, striking the rocks
and breaking some of his tusks
It soon after became dark, and the
party due: out a camp ground in the
snow and built a fire. The panther
was wrapped in the skin of one of the
deer which he had killed, and after
ward drawn on the snow to the settle
ments. The carcasses of several deer
were found which he had killed, and
had he leaped among the party on the
cliff there could not have failed to have
been loss of life. The panther is over
seven feet long from nose to tip of
tail, and a is very muscular and heavy
animal, weighing probably about 200
oounds when killed, though much less
at present, the entrails and much of
the fat. etc.. having been cut away to
lierhten him in hauling him out on
he ice.
Bv some of the judges it is said to
be the heaviest and one of the largest
nanthers ever killed in the Adrlon
I
dacks. It is probable that Mr. Colvin
will Dresent him to the Legislature.
The members will be better able to
appreciate the wildness of the Adrion
dack region and the perils of the ex
ploring surveyors after examining the
monster. Aioany Argus, marvn a.
Sheep Practice.
Last, vftftr. Mr. Ross of London, 0.,
hone-ht 900 worth of sheep, 235 of
ivhir-h wprft wes. From these he
rniaorl 23ft lambs, whioh.with 'fatTWOOl,
ht sold for 1.246. a return of $138.33
for each $ 100 invested. This showing
speaks very highly for the profits of
sheerrhusbandry when the right kind
of stock is purchased and proper care
is given it. We need millions more
of sheep in this country before Our
supply of wool will meet the present
demand. aniJ if thorough bred sheep
rmlv are kept, they will be found far
more profitable than will common
natives. TMe .thorough breds will
cost but vttf milk more, they will
require no more food or care, and will
be much more valuable for both wool
and mutton. Ohio Warmer.
Indian Corn an a Food.
At the last meeting of the Paris
Academv of Medicine. November 14,
M. Fea, of Padua, enlarged on the
merits of maze as an article of food.
He crave comDarative tables to shdw
that maize is superior to all other
cereals in fattv matters, ana tnac n
inav be considered as a perfect food.
He also replied to objections that
have been made to maize, accusing it
at e-ivinsr rise to certain diseases,
notably pellagra; and demonstrated
that the penicilium, which is supposed
to originate this disease, never attacks
maize unless it is damaged.
Batter Pudding.
One pint milk, oar eggs, four table
spoonfuls of flour-, beat the yelks of
the eggs well and stir into the milk;
mix the eggs and milk gradually with
the flour; add a litle salt; whisk the
whites of the eggs very stiff and stir
lightly through the mixture; butter a
pudding-dish; pour in the batter and
bake in a quick oven, or bake in cups;
when done, send to the table hot, and

PROSPECTUS.
The Raleigh Observer.
ON THE 16TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1876,
'and in the city of RALEIGH, the undersigned
will commence the publication of
The Observer,
a DAILY and WEEKLY Democratic newspaper.
Of long experience in their profession as editors,
respectively of the Fayette ville Observer and the
Wilmington Jocbkal, they do not affect to doubt
the soundness of the general judgment which as
signs them ability to furnish a newspaper suited to
the needs and adapted to the tastes of the people of
North Carolina. Differing in politics in the olden
time, there was never a difference between the Ob
server and the Journal in zeal for the interests
and honor of North Carolina. To promote the one.
and to uphold and add to the other wi)L be the ob
ject of the Observer now.
Of very decided opinions on question of public
interest, and apt to give those opinions plain ex
pression, they deem it the first duty of a newspaper
to furnish Its rtaiiw with the information necessa
ry to the formation Of their opinions, to publish
all "the news;" and their purpose is to make The
Observer now, as of old, a truthful, accurate, con
densed history of the times in which we live. It
was thus that "the old Observer" won its hold up
on the people of North Carolina, enjoying the affec
tion of its party' friends, receiving the respect and
confidence of. its bitterest political foes, and com
manding n its comparatively isolated location a
circulation larger than has ever been attained by
any other North Carolina newspaper, and it is thus,
by like aigaity and fairness that the editors of The
Observes, transferred to the State Capital, hope it
will deserve, and soon equal, and then surpass, its
former circulation and orooDeritv.
It will bo their high aim to deserve the public con
hdence by earnest efforts topromote the public wel
fare, first and foremost of North Carolina, next of
all the Southern State, ant1 finally, and through
these, of the whole Union. They think that this
can only be effected by the prevalence of Democra
tic DrineiBtes and the dismissal of the Radical cartv
from the places and power which they have so great
ly abused, ana unaer wnose oaietui rule the soutn
nas oeen outrageu ana tne wnaie country nas oeen
impoverished and disgraced
