j John Talbot, a Chicago student,
prepared an infernal machine with
which -to blow .Qp his sweetheart.
He dag a mine after, the fashion of a
Russian Nihilist and then to make
the parallel complete was caught.
Will the; parallel be extended by his
hanging; or banishment? An account
says: i
"Talbot explained that this trench, was to
have been extended to the observatory, 240
feet distant, where a Dit was already due.
The trench waa to contain a wire running
irom tne pit to infernal machines in the
'death traps.' When all was Dre oared it
was his plan to secrete himself in the pit,
watch for the coming of his sweetheart,
and just as she passed over the trap to pull
the wire and explode , the machines. The
preparations thus far completed showed a
marvellous amount of elaboration, the ut
most care being taken to prevent disco v-

In reply to a letter irom Senator
Morgan! asking for certaitf Changes
in Alabama'" Postmaster General
Vflas writes as follows:
"I am quite willing to assure you that
just as fast as it is possible the cases will be
considered. It is, however, to be
remembered, however, that a great many
other considerations than the narrow views
ot individuals who are simply seeking a
change must be regarded. The adminis
tration must act upon sound policy. And
I think it would occur to the South above
all sections of the Union that nothing could
be more desirable to them than that this ad
ministration should meet with approval in
the North, because if the administration is
going to benefit the South by securing
for them for the future fair appointments
where they have been abused, it will be of
utle avail unless it be in such a manner as
to meet also the approval of the whole
country." .
Cocoaine is a new therapeutic agent
of much value and as a local anaes
thetic is remarkable. It will certainly
paralyze the respiratory organs if
given in sufficient quantity. It is
ttius described:
"It is the alkaloid of the leaves of a
shrub, originally wild but now largely cul
tivated, known as the erythrvxylon coca. It
grows in South America, principally in
Peru and .Bolivia, and looks much use the
ordinary tea-leaf. Dr. A. Neimann, of
Uoslar, Germany, gave it its present name
in 1860. But little was then known of the
properties of the drugs."
Here is what purports to be the
ultimatum of Russia. v It is in the

"Information which has been received
here from St. Petersburg political circles
creates a great sensation. It is to the effect
that the only condition on which peace can
be assured is that .England snail acknow
ledge the complete neutrality of Afghanis
tan and the extinction of English influence
on the Ameers country. In this case only,
it is said, is a peaceful understanding be
tween England and "Russia possible."

Henderson . Gold Leaf: We
very much regret to learn of the sad and
sudden death of Mr. Ed. D. Mason, son of
Uapt James Mason, of Henderson, which
occurred near Buffalo Springs, Mecklen
burg county, Va., last Thursday. Mr. Ma
son was in the woods engaged in getting
out some timbers. A large tree had been
felled and while the men were engaged in
hewing the log out, a limb which had
evidently been broken from a neighboring
tree by the falling one, fell on him inflict
ing injuries from which he died next day.
Deceased was about 80 years old and' un
married. Charlotte Observer; Several of
our citizens who were driving out by Mr.
Walter Miller's farm yesterday afternoon,

: Rockingham JRocJcet: The fruit
crop has suffered injury to some extent, but
we hope lor enough still to satisfy moderate
wants. One day last week some of
the hands on the plantation of Mr. T. E.
.Diggs, having occasion to cross the rjver
round, at toe moutn or. Jones creek, on the
Anson side, the carcass of an alligator nine
and a .half feet long. The strange, visitor
by some means had become Inextricably
entangled in a net-work of vines near the
water's edge and thus perished. The won-,
der is. Where he came from. ' On Fri
day, the 17th, a horrible fate was visited
upon two colored children just across the
river in Anson county. Emma Sullivan, a
tenant on Mrs. Catherine Livingston's
place, was going from home and left her
two children in the bed asleep. To see
that they were - properly, protected with
covering she went to the bed ""before going
out, ana, it is supposed, .accidentally drop
ped some fire upon the bed from the pipe
which she was smokmgr On her return
at any rate, the house was in flames and
the helpless children were beyond the hope
of rescue. The frantic mother, in her
efforts to save them, took fire herself and
was badly burned.
Weldon News: There was to
be .an excursion train on the Seaboard &
Roanoke Railroad on Saturday to this
place. Tom Ramsay, colored, wanted to
come but his wife opposed it and they had
a quarrel concerning it on Saturday night,
during which Tom was shot with a pistol
in the lower part of the' abdomen and he
died. His wife was arrested on a charge
of murdering her husband, but after inves
tigating the matter the jury of inquest
came to the conclusion that the shooting
was accidental. The woman said tne man
had the pistol and it fired in the struggle
caused by her attempt to get possession ef
it. Ramsay was about 25 years old and his
wife is younger. The protracted meet
ing continues at the M. E. church. There
have been several accessions to the church
and the interest is still great On
Tuesday the North bound train from Wil
mington bad on board an old "gentleman
and his two daughters. There was a
drunken brute in the car and he made an
improper proposal to one of the ladies who
sought her father for protection. The old
gentleman had his double-barrel shot gun
along and levelled at the scoundrel and
would have killed him on the spot but very
unfortunately the other passengers inter
fered. Raleigh Farmer & Mechanic:
Duplin county regrets, to loose two of her
best citizens, Rev. Wm. M. Kennedy and
son, David M. Kennedy, who propose re
moving to Littleton in this State, the for
mer to continue his ministerial labor, and
the latter to engage in teaching. There
was a railroad meeting in this place on
Saturday. Ex-Go v. T. J. Jarvis, our new
Minister to Brazil, waa present. Snow Hill
Gazette. You bet I "The ruling passion is
strong even in death. Lott Humphrey
was also there. He is reported as asserting
that Tom is the greatest man this State ever
produced. Rockingham county is in
luck this year. It has the Governor, a
member of Congress, the U. S. Collector,
the U. S. Marshalship, the Chief Clerkship,
two flourishing manufacturing towns, and
plenty of pretty girls. Gen. Cling-
man s Tobacco Cure Company has begun
operatiug at Durham, and prepared pack
ages are sent by mail for 25 cents. The
picture of Gen. Clingman is very good, we
think.and the testimonials to the cures by
simply wetted tobacco leaves are surprising.
That blatherskite, "Chaplain George
W. Pepper," who at -one time cut up many

Rossa has printed a three column letter,
pretending to give the utterances of Gen.
R. E. Lee in relation to Grant, 3herman,
Mr. Davis, and the conduct of the war.

not crawled a foot beyond Shelby. Then
