A wonderful reaction is going on throughout the South in President Cleveland's favor. In his speech on the tariff Senator Walsh, of Georgia, did some pretty good advertising for the South, but especially for Georgia. It has been judicially decided in Illinois, that a turtle is not an animal but a reptile of the snake species. Tht was no snap judgment. Prof. Riley says there are about one hundred different kinds of sugar, and yet there are lots of peo ple who take "thetr'n". straight. A turtle has been qaptured in In diana with a perfect fac simile of a G. A. R. badge on its shell. It should be put upon the pension rolls at once. That was a discriminating sort of Wake county lightning which passed' down through a house full of peo ple, to find and kill four dogs in the basement. Jesse Seligmaa,v the millionaire Hebrew recently deceased, was no discriminator against denominations." In his will he made bequests to nearly every charitable institution in Ne-rYtffk'-r " i' A frogologist informs us that it is only the male frog that "sings;" that the female has no voice and couldn't make a note with four -endorsers. This beinr so we shall confine our antipathy . henceforth to the male frog Col. Breckinridge has succeeded in having the Congressional Conven tion in his district staved off until the 15th of September, which is said to be a victory for him, as he is fighting for time. But that doesn't necessarily mean thai he will get the nomina tion. Mr. Boetler, a German of primi tive ideas, proposes to establish a lazy man's paradise in some of the South Sea Islands. The only re quisite to citizenship will be that the applicant live on fruit .and grass and wear no clothes. This beats tbe Cozey idea all hollow. The practical joker got in some more of his work in Washington the other day when a sensitive young man shot himself because be was unable to keep up his dues in a mill tary.company in Baltimore to which he belonged, and for which he was made to believe that he would be court-martialled, and perhaps shot The . imaginary disgrace preyed upon him so that he sent a bullet through his head. Tbe Gould family nas pulled up and migrated to Jersey because it objects to paying taxes on $10,000,- 000 worth of personal property. Al though its sire, Jay, left an estate worth $70,000,000 he dodged around and managed to get off by paying tax on $500,000 and kicked like a Kentucky mule when the tax listers increased it to $500.000 . from the $300,000 be had been paying on Men take different views- of these things, v We' would cheerfully pay taxes on the whole $70,000,000.

Suggestion to tne Farmer of Tola 8eo- tian Broom : Corn . Will '..Pi .from Twenty to Forty Dollar uaAjuX Now that a broom factory ' la to be es tablished in Wilmington, it will be well for some of the fanners in this vicinity to try the experiment of raising btoom corn. Begin this year on a small scale. planting from one to five acres, and note the result. In this connection the an nexed from an article in the Savannah JVews will be of interest : -. Another product and one of which there is little doubt of making a suc cess, is broom corn, to which attention was called by the Morning Newt a few weeks ago, in an interview with Mr, F. Kulman, of the Savannah Broom Fac tory. . This factory, which is Compaa-. lively a new enterprise In Savannah,' he stated could utilize the product pi 20,- ouo acres, whereas the annual acreage in this section at the present time is -only aoout 1,000 acres. - . This manufactory now has to imncri the broom corn nsed from the west, as it can make use of twenty times as much of the product as is made in this section. Tbe price of the broom corn at the fac-. tory ranges from 2 to 4 cents, de pending on the Quality; and the aualitv and amount produced depends on the quality ot the land on which it is grown. The corn brings all the way from $20 to $40 per acre, and its cultivation is far easier than rice or the products ol the truck farm. jv - Many of the rice planters are putting broom corn in their fields this year, and the probability is that the acreage rwUL be somewhat increased, though it ' will be nothing like the amount that can ' be used right here at Borne. The' seed is supplied on application at the factory, and there have been numerous applica tions for it this year. Some two or three hundred acres are to be planted oa Hutchinson s Island this year, and others are using their nee lands for the sarae purpose. liven tne pine .lana in tne sections away from the rivers and creeks produces a lair quality of tbe broom corn, though it is not so good as that produced on the richer lands. - i These are suggestions as to some of the uses to which unused rice lands may ( be put. They are industnea which no doubt will be rapidly developed in this section if experiments prove, as they no doubt will, that there is sufficient profit in them. - :' THE KIT HEn"maRKET. f Prices of Perishable) Prodnots that People Purchase.

Tho Ball-Holiday Hitch. There seems to be a hitch among the dry goods and shoe dealers in the mat ter of. the half-holiday, some having thus far expressed an unwillingness to close; but it is hoped some common ground of agreement may soon be reached so that both employers and employes may conclude to take rest for a half-day in each week. Business is not very active . just now; and if it were, it , may be doubted if any merchant would lose anything if all the business houses shouM close for one half-day. The arrange ment seemed to give almost: universal satisfaction last year, and if all will work together there is no reason why it may not be equally satisfactory this year. - Take a little recreation and rest now, end brace up for the improved trade we are sure to have next Fall.

This is a fast age and if we want to keep np with the times we have to hurry along with the rest of the world or be distanced in the race. There is little time for ordinary, every-day people to study the beginnings and the develop ment of things, and words are things. They are as necessary to the life of busi ness and society as a carpenter's tools are to the work of his hands. But no one has the time to go word-hunting and there is no reason why hs should do so when all the words in ordinary or extra ordinary use have all been collected to gether and are preserved in such handy form as they are found in tbe American Encyclopaedic Dictionary. This Is a dictionary for the people as well as scholar, for the man who lives by the work of his hands as well as for him who lives by .cudgelling his brains. It is convenient in form, comprehensive in treatment. It is a thorough dictionary. The his tory of every word is traced step by step and the steps shown. It has all tbe ob solete words, and all the newest up to date. No other accepted-as-standard dictionary has either. It explains not only words it explains things encyclo paedic fashion, but in a terser and easier way. It is easy for the simplest of us deep enough for the most learned. It is printed on. first-class book paper; the type is clear and plain; the ink clean and deep; the illustrations better than those usually appearing in such works; the cov ers of each Part (published in'forty Parts) of stiff paper, tinted. And this is how it can be obtained in better shape than its English form, at a cost of one-seventh to one-tenth of the price of the English edition : Elsewhere in this paper will be found a Dictionary coupon. One ot these coupons, when accompanied with 17 cents, will entitle the holder to one Part ot this Diction ary. The whole work will be complete- in about 40 Parts- ot 96 pages each, bound in heavy paper covers. A new Part will be issued each week and coupons will be published daily until the Dictionary is complete. Any one of these coupons, with 17 cents, entitles you to any Part of the Dictionar).

They WUI Have an Increase of Pay After Jane 30th, 1895. .The House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads has agreed upon a bill in creasing tlje pay of letter carriers. Tbe bill provides that after Jane 30th, 1895, the pay of letter carriers in cities of more than 75,000 population, for the first year of service, shall be $600; for the second year, $800; for the thirdear, $1,000; lor the fourth and thereafter, $1,200; and, after June 30th, 1895, the. pay of letter carriers in cities of population under 75, 000, for the first year of service, shall be $600 for the second year $800; for the third year and thereafter, $1,000. It is almost a certainty that this bill will become a law, as there is a strong disposition in Congress to increase the pay of both letter carriers and postal clerks. With the proposed advance in pay the position of letter carrier will be a very desirable one. One thousand dollars, after the second year, for eight hours' work per day. is excellent pay, and will make the positions of letter carrieis much sought after, and by a class of men who will add to the efficiency of the service. LET US HAVE A PARK. How Is the Accepted Time WhV Not t Make a Move? It Moat Come. The times are not auspicious tor pub lic expenditures; but, nevertheless, tbe city authorities should no longer delay the selection of a suitable site for a pub lic park. The people of Wilmington must have it some time, and initiatory steps may as well be taken now as at some indefinite future period. No city is deserving of the name without a pub lic park. It can be improved and even beautified from year to year at small ex pense. An annual appropriation of one thousand dollars for this purpose would work wonders; and at the expiration of ten years the people of the city would have a resort of which they would be proud. As to the cost of a site, if the city au thorities will appoint a committee to take this matter in hand, they will be surprised to see how cheaply an eligible site for a park can be bought, and what easy terms of payment may be had. This statement, of course, is based on tbe supposition that the owner of the land offered would retain adjoining property that would be greatly enhanced in value by the opening of a city park. Will not some progressive member of the Board of Aldermen, at its next regu lar meeting, move lor the appointment of a special committee to take this mat ter under consideration ? It can do no harm to ascertain just what can be done even with the limited means now at command. The Meeting; of Martatratea.
