peaceable scheme or not; or whether
or not they are disposed to give him
credit for his pacific propositions,
there appears to beyme grounds for
believing t$& h0 is sincere in
desiring to have the armaments of
the Great Powers reduced very con
siderably. It is stated by the Lon
don correspondent of the Scotsman
that "the attention of the English
government has lately been directed
to the projects of disarmament put
forward by Prince Bismarck; that
despite the recent qualifying state
rneots Prince Bismarck has projected
a scheme for, gradual disarmament
but A&$ tttrifyr Continentat
Power whiclriias yet given absolute
adhesion to the scheme. In diplo
matic 'circles, the correspondent says,
it is expected that Prince Bismarck
will make aeclaajon on the sub
ject slybuVthete dOM not seem
to be much confidence felt in the in
tegrity of his motives'
We had occasion to say recently
that Bismarck had discovered at last
that the main cause of he ..great
prostration of trade dn&e CoXSnmt
was owing to the immense armies
and the expenditures, incident thereto.
When-wegJLook at. &e military

not difficult to see why their pros

vast cost thus entailed uponthm.l
Russia has a military force ,JariTxhye-

army of France comprises Jijd89fiw
soldiers of all arms; - the territorial
army, 1,208,000; tOtsilj 2,28,000; to
be increased a 1892 by the addition
of 30tj,bb&4feslrreSieri to 2,23,000.
The German power, of all classes, is
represented by 2,004,300 men, of

SANITAttV ENGINBEIIINO.
We referred before to a pamphlet
by Wm. Cain, published ; by the
North Carolina Board ''of .Health' for
the information of . the people, with:
the title written at the head of . this
artiole. It gives just such informa
tion as every community needs. The
remedies and necessary . instructions
how to use them are laid before the
reader in a plain, concise manner. -
The North Carolina Medical Jour
nal for November has a short article
upon the subject of sanitary engi-
neering, from whichje copy a para,
eraph or so for the benent of all con -
graph
cerned. It says:
"The dry-earth privy system as set forth
in this - pamphlet should attract the attend
tion of the officers of every municipal
corporation particularly, and the public in I
general, me uner negieci oi any Bysiem,
and the Vile and disgusting way the great
majority of privies in .our towns and vil
lages are allowed to remain, is a sure sign
that our boaatad civilization has not reached
its aeme. "There is bardly a town on the
Southern Atlantic coast, where the night
air is not loaded in the summer and fall
months with noisome effluvia. The dry-'
earth system is a remedy for this evil, and
should be generally adopted. The people
should not wait for corporation officers to
get it through their slow brains, but each
citizen should commence for the reform for
Aimself, for poverty could hardly be an ob
stacle to this improvement, as the whole
cost wpuld be exceedingly small. Once
initiated the dry-earth system will take firm
hold upon those communities having no
general wale; supply, or sewerage system.
The way to make this reform general is for
its adoption by a citizen here and there,
and soon its superiority would be so appa
rent, that others would follow, and eventu
ally a healthy public opinion would be
created."
If what-the papers tell of the shoot
ing of young Morgan in Washington
is true, then the sympathy of the
public will be with the injured young
lady. Miss Horton, who fired the
shot, is a daughtar erf the late Gen.
Horton, of Alabama. Here is her
own story, as told to the correspon
dent of the Baltimore American:
"In 1877, When she was in her seven
teenth year, young Morgan paid his ad
dresses to her in Alabama, and they were
soon oetrouied.' under the promise of mar
cretary to his father, and left ber to dis
grace. She wrote to Senator Spencer and
Senator Conkling, detailing her wrongs;
btjt, accomplishing nothing, came to this
city last spring. After entering her suit she
obtained a position in the Treasury, from
which she was removed a few weeks ago.
She subsequently learned that her discharge
was due to the influence of Morgan's friends.
His friends, have persecuted her beyond
endurance because she has: refused to de
liver them the love letters written to her by
Margan, which she intends to introduce as
evidence in the suit. Wherever she has obtained-
lodgings they have come and repre
sented to the owner of the house that she
was an improper character.
"The meeting to-day on G street waaxnt
tirely accidental. She had bad the pistol
some time. " When she saw Morgan she
coulit not resist the impulse to shoot iim.
4frshe said, 'I would rather be hanged
for murdering him than continue to lead a
life Tf -misery.'
VM188 Horton, who has a very preposses
sing face, with dark hair, and eyes, was
neatly attired in black. She appeared to be
very cool and unconcerned, and answered
the usual inquiries of the station-keeper very
concisely. She said she was eighteen years
of age." '
The price of coal appears to be reg
elated to some extent by the demand
for iron. Just as there has been an
increased demand for the latter has
there been an advance in the former.
Daring 1869, 4,o6blrille8Qtf, new track
were laid,and some 3,000 miles of old
tractr were replaced. The Baltimore
American says of the prospects in
1880':
".This means the consumption of; 2,500,
tons of iron this year by the railway in
terest alone. A year aco there were less
than 100 iron furnaces in Wast; now there
are 273, and u present preparations 4ure
carried out, this year there will be nearly
7001 Last year the anthracite coal product
was about 16,000.000- tohs,; and this year

iCol. Wm. J. Clarke, in his new
Republican paper, The Signal, made
some comments unfavorable to the
whites, in which he charged that the
negroes were not treated fairly and
with justice in the courts. We did
not see his article, but we find $he fol
lowing reply in the Kinston Journal,
which, at the close of an editorial,
headei-Slander,M says:
"This charge of injustice comes with pe
culiar grace from Judge Clarke, who while
holding Superior Court in Leaeir county a
few years ago, is openly reported as haying
made, in substance, the f ollowine charee to
the Grand Jury: 1 charge yoit, gentlemen of
the Jury, not to take up the time of me voun in

The white population of Wilming
ton is 6,776; colored 10,288. Deaths
among whites 154,-or 22.7 -in the one
thousand. Deaths among colored
341, or 33.1 in the one thousand. It
will thus be seen in what excess are
the deaths svaiong the negroes over
those among the whttaa.

"I am sixty years.old,and never got
drunk till day .before yesterday," re-.
marked oli Uncle Jesse White, as he
sat on a salt barrel in front of a gro
cery store. "I have lived in Arkansas
for forty year cum hear from East
Tennessy and the thought that I got
drunk in the evening of my life, when
lean juat see my gray hairs shining
in the twilight, is enough to make
me throw myself into the river.
"Tell us how it occurred, Uncle
Jesse,' asked a by8tander. -
"Well, some time agp, up in our
neighborhood,' an4 he stopped talk
ing and drew his pipe vigorously to
see if the fire was out; "a Good Tem
plar's Lodge was organized. All the.
young people in the community jined,
add pretty soon they cam me after me.
My son Ike was the leadin' man, andf
he says to me, 'Pap, I want you to
i'ioe this thing. 'Ike, says I, 'I don't
;now the taste of liquor, and I don't
see the use of jinen.' 'Pap,' says he,
we" want your influence. We are
gwine to vote on the local option law
pretty soon, and we want yon public
ly identified with the work.7 lhen
my daughter Susan, she come around
and begged to line. 'Susan,' says I,
'you never seed your old father take
a drink.' 'No, pap,' says she, 'but we
want you to help us frown down the
curse or intemperance JNext our
parson come around and sot my wife
on me, and when tbey all got to
druramin' I had to jine. I jined on a
rnday night, and on the following
Saturday I got on the boat to oome
down here. Somethirr ailed rae.
Somethin' kvept sayin' Jesse White,
you ain't a free man. It bothered
me, and when I saw ooe of the deck
hands turn up a jug I wondered if he
bad ever taken the pledge, and when
he set down the jug I walked around
and looked at it, took hold of the
corn-cob b topper, walked away and
smelt ray fingers. I went up on deck
and sat .down in front. Pretty soon
two men come out and sat down.
After a while one of them remarked:
The Governor or North Carolina
said to the Governor of South Caro

tence both man laughed and drank
out Of a big black bottle. Thar
was somethin' if) . that Govern
or business that took me. 1
had , heard my father talk about
it and laugh. . I had often heard it,
but no one had ' ever been positive
what it was that the Governor said,
only that the time between bad been
rather long. Pretty soon one of the
men reached down, took'up the bot
tle, took out the cork, aqdsaid: 'The
Governor of North Carolina said to
the .' Then both" men laughed
and drank. I never felt so curious in
my life. I looked around at the
trees on the bank, and at women who
waved their handkerchiefs at us as
we passed. 1 'Those Governoi s had a
ring about them that tingled through
my old blood. Just then one of the
men. turaedheld the bottle toward
me, and said: 'The Governor of
North . Before I knew it I
had hold ofafche bottle. I turned
it up and drank. All I thought
about was the Governor, - and
when the shadows-of Ike, Susan, the
parson, and my wife flittedthrough
ray brain, the tfwo Governors, tall and
grand, stalked right up and ran over
them. 'The Governor of North Car
olina and I had taken another pull,
and along one. I began to see the
Governors iu their trne light. I
thought that they were Che best fel

'o be rnnnin a mile a minute, and I
didn't care what she. did so loo2 as
the Governors were wilh us. "Well.
;boys, the Governors kept a remarkin
"and I kept a pulliu, and . by the'time
