VOL. LrVU.-NO. 828. medical wonder died a few days ago at Shamokin, Pa. An autopsy revealed the fact that he didn't have an ounce of brains, and yet, accord ing to the - account of him, he was perfectly rational, could talk fluently, aell, taste, and ,do anything - that other people can do but see. A tumor which formed at the base of his : brain, and distroved. it' and ' ... "... . finally killed him, destroyed his sight three years ago, With the progress that cigarette , smoking is making in this country we venture to say that autopsies would reveal the fact that this Shamokin case is not an isolated one. . "K Washington gossip is bent on marrying Senator Hill to somebody if for nothing else to punish him for those dyspeptic, remarks he made about women some time ago. The latest is that he has designs on the widow ot Senator Hearst, of Califor nia, who has a nice house in Wash ington and about $25,000,000 laid up for emergencies. Come to think of it hitching him to an attrac tive woman with a $25,000,000 bank account and a house already built, and no -visible incumbrances might not be a very severe punishment after all. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says that while the Treasury officials think the bids for the new bonds will largely ex ceed the amount called for. they do not think the individual bids will ag gregate more than ten millions if they reach that figure. So much for the so-called "popular loan." This is a pretty good indication that the "widows and orphans" of the New York World are not in it to any con siderable extent. ' - John Sherman says the silver issue is "worn out. Uur impression is that John Sherman and a good many otbersfot the gold monometallic fel lows will be worn out before the silver issue is. They would have been worn out long' ago if they hadn't become such perfect masters of the art of dodging, straddling and thimble-rigging the people who trusted them and had confidence in their honesty. ' According to some -estimates the depreciation of the value of farm an imals in this country within the past year amounts to $62,139,000, ; the value now being $1,864,420,000. The decrease has been caused by the de cline in the price of horses and mules, resulting from the use of electricity as a motive power, bicycles, &c. A New York paper says that Bos ton is "losing its brainiest preachers, who are all going to New York." They seem to know where their ser vices are most needed, but it is not easy to see how Chicago Iras escaped their attention. There would be a great field for a fully equipped mis sionary service in both towns. Senator Teller may not be the Sol omon of the august body in which he is perched, but there is. a solid chunk of truth injthe following dec laration made a few days ago in the Seinate: "A public debt is a public curse, and when increased during a time of peace is also a national dis grace. A writer in an English magazine contends that the pptato will become extinct, bdt as he considerately post pones the the time pf extinction for a thousand years or more there is nor immediate necessity for becoming alarmed about it. - .X I HEW ADVJSBTlSMirTS. i Veterans Attention.

POLITICAL OPINIONS OF REPUBLI- t CANS AND POPULISTS. The Seab jaxd Air-Uneaov. Can's Rt- ottlan of Lieut. Winslow's Commis sion. - . Star Correspondence Ralhgh. N. C , January 27. Political opinions are almost as nu merous as the penetrating bacilli. They floit around everywhere and wbat a "prominent'- Populist, Dimocrat or Re publican says or does not say, would fill an encycloisejia with i s numberless volumes. Opinions are not difficult to obtain. Any of the politicians or those . "out of politics" are glad to have their views aired. I asked a gentleman to-day what he thought of Wood's letter to Senator Butler. He said that for the first time m the history of Populism in this State, one man bad openly defied Butler in his course. It may represent but one opin ion, still the fact remains that Butler's arrogance and dictatoral power is dawn ing upon tne ropuiista. .His power in North Carolina is greater than ever Croker's was in New York, and as a boss in the Populist party, he is greater than ever Gorman was amonar the Demo crats in Maryland. Butler does not openly lay aown tne law to nis party, riegatneis around him committees members of which he has absolute power over and who never dare to Question his ideas. Through these committees he works his machine. This was the view of a Re publican who was elad ta see a defiance of Butler and his satellites in the Popu list ranks. A Populist who has no love for fudce Russell made the "remark to-dav that Wood's letter bit the Wilminetonian right between the eyes. the Fress- visitor has started a cruiser Raleigh fund, with 212 as a nucleus. It is hoped tq greatly increase the fund. About $500 is already in hand. ; Mr. John w. winder arrived ia the city yesterday. He forced the Seaboard to pay him the year a salary, having been elected for that period. He had a con sultation with both -Mr. St. lohn and Mr. Hof man before leaving. Mr. Winder s five clerks were dis charged by Mr. St. John Saturday even ing. Mr. Winder left for Norfolk. He has given a statement to the press in which he sets forth the circumstances of his "resignation." No charses were preferred against him and Mr. St. John gave him a letter Saturday, highly com mendatory. There is a war going on in this city between citizens and the street commit tee. The committee is having shade trees on certain streets cut down. Dr. Kemp Battle, Jr., .and others are object ing. There is talk of an injunction being issued against the committee.

Neither the Adiutant General nor the Governor would have anything to say relative to the determination of Lieut. Winslow to fight in the courts the revo- cajion of the Lieutenant's commission as commander of the Naval Reserves. It ssems that the Governor had ample grounds for revoking the commission held by Lieut. Winslow. This power is vested in the Chief Executive, and is set forth in section 3,268 of the second volume of the Code, entitled "Commander-in-Chief to Revoke Commis sions and Disband Companies. It says : - . "The commander-in-chief shall have full power and authority to revoke any commission, or to disband any company or companies, whenever in his judgment it shall bernecessary or expedient for the public good or the. good of the ser vice. AMONG THE TRUCKERS. Winter Cultivation of Iiettneeor "Salad" A Profitable and Growing Industry. Editor Star In the issue of the Star. January 10th, mention was made of the lettuce, or salad industry of our neighboring farmers and truckers. Later and more minute inquiry into the mat ter and upon consultation with Mr. Oli ver C. Stevens, who is representing the firm of Sharp, Cox & "Co., of Philadel phia, who are heavy receivers of this ar ticle of export from Our country. e learn that this week's total ship ment has been rather light, owing to the failure of this article to mature. Had weather been favorable for its maturing no reason or excuse could, be assigned for the 'detect. Total ship ment this past week, ending Saturday, lanuary 25, were 131 bbls salad, the average price these goods were sold by those receiving them, t.75" per bbl. Less expense, nets the grower at least $390, and much of the earlier ship ments were sold at over 8. While the cultivation of salad is a very expensive mode of trucking, at the figures above mentioned, it is very : re munerative to tne growers. There are in the neighborhood of Wilmington twenty-five acres now set in salad under cloth, it taking tn the neighborhood of 90,000 yards of cloth to cover the acre age.... . While expensive, it is quite remunera tive. Where can the farmers raise so good a crop in the Winter months as they have successfully done this Winter with silad. ' V- The first shipments of salad were made about December 1st and will con tinue until March 15th. Messrs. Mar- tiendale, Horner. Trask, Springer, Mills, Pearsall, Montford, Jones, Klien, Gar- rell and Chadwick are the heaviest growets of this article. Quite a number of smaller ones, too numerous to men tion. Messrs. Garrell & Co. have two acres of ..this article under cover. A visit to his place yesterday showed to us the beds 'in their healthy and thriving condition. He will in a few days be cutting dally from twenty to thirty barrels. There has been so far a thousand barrels of salad shipped from here, av eraglog a net profit of (4.50 per barrel, making a total of St 000 left in and amone our worthy farmers, at the very time when money is most needed. This is nothing to what it will be when the season closes; .it will be many times lareer. . . Mr. Stevens informs us that he does not look for any decline in prices, but rather a better and strooger market than even at present. This is the only part of North Caro lina where salad is grown to any ex tent. We nredict for our neighboring coun try in the future to be the salad oasis ol the South. 5.

The cotton mar ket to-day showed no material change in the way of speculative interest and re ceded on this account, the March op tion selling at the end of the day at 7.98. There is absolutely nothing interesting to chronicle about cotton. Speculators are weary and have shifted their influ ence to train and provisions, where they have received substantial returns. There was extensive liquidation on grain to day in Chicago. After the May option had reached 96Xc. a fustlade of selline orders were presented for execution and at tne end a loss of l$c was registered.
