In a Chicago club the other night a
convivial party of middle-aged men were
talking about the United States and its
marvelous growth, with solon-like
wisdom, when one of the party asked if
they all knew bow many States there
were in the Union. Of course this was
received with shouts of derision; they all
knew. 1 "Well, can any one here write
the names ot all the States and Terri
tories?" Everybody in the party could
do that, and at their request paper and
pencils were brought, and after fully an
hour's labor and scribbling there was not
one man in the party who had succeeded
in ! writing them all down without an
omission. Well, the best way to keep
your boys from that state of ridiculous
Ignorance is to procure' for them the

It pomes in parts, so that they can read
it as it comes along, and you won't feel

ELEVEN HOUSES BURNED
On
the Outskirts of the Cits' All Small
Building! and Folly In -c red.
Fire broke out last night shortly after
nine o clock on the roof of a small
dwelling on Lockey's alley, between Sev
enth and Eighth and Dawson and
Wright streets, on the extreme south
eastern border of the city. The Fire
Department turned out promptly in
response to the alarm and the firemen
labored earnestly to stay the progress of
the flames, bat the water supply was
remote and insufficient, and before they
succeeded, eleven buildings were burned.
The nearest hydrant was at the corner
of Eighth and Castle streets, six squares
distant, and only one stream could be
had, as it took all the hose to make a
single line from the hydrant to
the fire. In addition to this disad
vantage, the Adrian engine working at
the hydrant, broke down just as the
water started, and the Cape Fear had to
be substituted for the Adrian. The de
lay resulted in a further spread of the
fire, and when a stream could
be obtained to play on the
fire four buildings were in flames.
The houses were all small cheap struc
tures, occupied by colored people. Six
were two-room buildings, owned by Mr.
C P. Lockey, and insured for $90 each,
and the other five three-rooms each
one owned by C. P. Lockey and in
sured for $175; three owned by Mrs. E.
J. Mott and insured for $150 each, and
one owned by Geo. Bell, colored and in
sured for $150 in companies represent
ed by Messrs. Atkinson & Son, E. P.
Boatwright and Walker Taylor.
The occupants of the houses saved
their furniture and other effects.
Cotton Gin and Grist Hill Burned Sear
XSkton.
A correspondent writing from Elkton,
Bladen county, to the Star, says:
"Last Sunday morning, about six
o'clock, Mr. Jno. C Elkin, a large cotton
farmer hear this place, hadthe misfor
tune of losing his cotton gin and grist
mill, together with about four bales of
lint cotton, and other property of con
siderable value. The total loss is esti
mated at $2,000. There was no insur
ance. This is the fifth burning of mills
we have had in a radius of five miles in
less than five years."

Why They Fail.
On reading the statistics on busi
ness, the fact is learned that 98 per
cent, of merchants fail, WHY ?
'One cause of many failures,
(You need not look for more).
Is the low price in the windows,
And the high price in the store.
Just to show that the moral of the
above does not apply to as, we will
say ahji our language is plain
that jwhenever you find anything
outside our place that we cannot du
plicate inside, just take the store, we
will have no further use for it.

My Dear Cousin, Your letter of the 6th has for- -lowed
sse to this place. I shall have been- -here
a fortn'ght next Wedeetday, t4th, and, though I
feel co decided unprovement in myself. 1 cannot- pre
vent regretting, dear Cousin . that yon are not -with
me. for 1 see such benefit derived by others ra. .
taking these baths. I am not going to enumerate tae
cases, for you probably have heard of many similar, .
bnt will contest myself with saying that they ate won
derful and ought to encoarate all to note for relief.
Dr. CobeU, of the Virginia Uui.eisUy, teb me, be a
the resident physician here, that 95 out of 100 that
have come under nil cognizance, who have faithfully
taken the waters, hare been relieved, some entirely and
others partially. Mine like case may he be- -
yond their reach, but may have came within :
their healing powers. And what a comfort si would .
have been to as- ail. ffc-- y plgenrt-ma-.
here, several years my senior, who had notTVaUed foe5""
a year, and coo Id sot even torn h'maeif ta bed. after . '
month's trial of the waters, went home yesterday be
ing able to walk with a cane. Dr. Cabell- said he
ought to have remained until October. He may have '
been a case of special blessings, seeing he had wur- -vived
four wives, and is now happy with the fifth.
I shall leave on the 39th, e
Good-bye, my dear cousin. May God preserve too.
