the fate of a hero is enwrapped in

A PROPOSED EXTENSION.
r """"" - it -
.-. New York Times.,
Raleigh, N. G, Feb. 10. For
severaL years the : Carolina Central
Railroad has been completed from
Wilmington to Shelby in the county
of Cleveland. From heretoButher
fordton, due west, is 24 miles, and
the roadbed was graded to that place
when the war broke out. Several
efforts have been made to have the
road extended to Asheville . without
success. The people of Rutherford
county have been ready to subscribe
$100,000 and the people of Bun
combe county are probably ready to
do the same in order to have the road
extended to Asheville. On Thurs
day last the people of Buncombe
held a meeting in Asheville, and ap
pointed a committee to confer with
the authorities of ; the Carolina , Cen
tral Company and see upon what
terms, if any, the road could be ex
tended ; to Asheville. The charter
already provides, for a road to the
renne8see.iine. rue Western Worth
Carolina Railroad, running through
Asheville, and the Spartanburg and
Asheville Railroad, soon to be com
pleted to Asheville, are both under
the control of the Richmond and
Danville syndicate, and the object of
the Asheville people is a road in com
petition with these two.. From Ashe
ville to Wilmington, over the. Caro
lina Central Road would, be the most
direct and nearest outlet to tidewa
ter.; There is now a large quantity
of freight shipped from-Chicago and
Cincinnati over the' Cincinnati and
Southern Road to Knoxvilie, and
also from Louisville over the Louis
ville and Nashville to Knoxvilie, and
there on . over . the Western North
Carolina Road, by way of Asheville,
to Northern cities. Such of t the
freight as was desired to reach water
transportation at the earliest moment
would be ordered to Wilmington over
the Carolina Central Road when ex
tended to 'Asheville. The Seaboard
" and Roanoke Company, which owns
a majority of the stock of the Caro
lina Central Company, is a rich cor
poration and can speedily complete
the extension if it undertakes it.

SHEEP HUSBANDHY.
He. Editor: There ia no interest
that would lie more remunerative to
our people than sheep husbandry,
and yet but few engage in it. V7by ?
Because there is no law to protect
the eheep." Stone the sheep, let the
dogs go free, seems to be the pre
vailing sentiment of the average leg
islator of the piesent day. -
The census -of 18S0 reports the
number of Bheep in North Carolina
at 461,638, and 47,710 killed by dogs
in 1879, or the census year,! which is
10.4 per cent, of the whole number.
Estimating those killed at $2 each,
the average price of sheep, and that
each sheep would clip 2. pounds of
wool, worth 28 cents per pound, gives
the following figures:
47,710 sheep at 12 each.. 95,420
95,420 lbs. wool at 28c per lb 26,717
Total... 1122,137
But this is not all as the value of the
sheep cannot be reckoned accurately,
the annual increase from that ' num
ber, with the assumed clipping of
wool, is a problem ; in - arithmetical
progression. ' Enough, however, is
seen from 'the above statement to
show the great loss . our people sus
tain annually Iy the depredations of
worthless curs. .
' How many dogs are in the State
will never be known, but for an ap
proximation, suppose the average is
one to each family, there allowing
5.04 persons to each family; (here
were 277,775 families in the Mate in
1880, and one ; dog to ' each . family
wculd ,roake a pack of 277,775 .doge,
and some think these figures far be
low the actual number. -
North Carolina is well and peculiar
ly adapted to sheep husbandry, and
there are enough good pasture lands
lying waste -to maintain ten limes as
many sheep as are in the State, and
with good laws to protect thatindus'
try, in another decade the number
would be swelled to million. It is
to be hoped that the present Legisla
ture will not adjourn without giving
the eheep a chance.

'Chinese" Gordon made . his name
known to every -civilized nation on

his services to the Government of the
Khedive of Egypt, where he won
fresh laurels in his fight against
slavery and barbarism in the Soudan,

peaceful life in the service of his

. Philadelphia, Feb. 13. A. fire ' last
night, at - the Alms House, entirely de
stroyed that portion of the institution set
apart for the insane. Of 684 lunatics con
fined there many are missing, but It is
thought that the most of them wandered
away.' -: n- -.h-
At 9 o'clock this morning two charred
bodies were found in ward No. 2. They
had been roasted beyond all recognition.
Several human forms can be seen in the
burning wreck in the cellar.
It is now thought that twenty-eight of
the inmates perished. That number of vi
olent patients were locked In cells on the
third floor and could not be reached. Eight
have been taken out dead, and the others
are not accounted for.! -There seems to be
no doubt that they are lost, and that their
remains aie among the ruins. - , . k , -:-
During the night many Insane persons
were found wandering in different parts of
the city, ; some nearly naked. The poor
creatures generally seemed unable to un
derstand the situation, and in some cases
begged their captors piteously not to throw
them into the river. : Others seemed to take
it as a grand joke, and : laughed gleefully
when the subject of the -fire was men
tioned, t 4i ;-' ; r.r-;- f
'Another came flying down South street
early this morning with manacles' attached
to his wrist, and a few links of chain dang
ling therefrom. He shrieked and laughed as
he a1 ruck right and left among the fright
ened people. It was found necessary to
use violence and knock him down before
he could be secured. - -
Another madman caused a panic In a
street car by rushing in half clad and with
his face scorched and, blackened. He Bank
crouching in a corner.and it was soon found
that he was more frightened than those
who bad run away. .
The report that the streets were full of es
caped maniacs caused much alarm in West
Philadelphia, and strangers look upon each
other with much disttust. ,. ,-:
The firemen are still at woTk on the
ruins. . They are weary and half frozen,
each man's helmet and coat appearing as
hard as armor, but their search for the
bodies is continued steadily. - - : -. .
There appears to have been a great deal
of unnecessary trouble caused-Zby rotten
hose and a scarcity in the water supply;
To remedy the latter failing, a dozen
brawny firemen chopped a hole in the thick'
ice on the Schuylkill river, but when the
hose was introduced the grinding bits of
ice split the leather and the attempt was a
failure. -
; The confusion about the ruins, the
craftiness of the insane people m secreting
themselves, the promiscuous manner in
which they are being cared for, and the
utter uneasiness of all those who have had
them in charge, prevent an accurate esti
mate being made of the loss of life and
property. . .

HOPE !
. A young man named John Waves, living near
here, had an eating; cancer on his face, whioh
bad eaten away his nose, part of his cheek, and
extended up nearly to his eye. It was one of the
most angry eating sores that I had ever seen.
Bis throat finally became Involved to suoh an ex
tent that he could only swallow liquid food. Af
ter using ail the remedies without checking the
ravages of the eating cancer, his general health
was broken down, he was confined to his bed,
and thought It to be only a question of time
about his death from the cancer. I put him on
Swift's Specific aa a last resort, and he began to
improve wi h the first dose. His general health
Improved at once, and rapidly; his throat got
well; the ravages of the cancer were soon
stopped; it began to heal around the edges; and
after a few months treatment with 8 8. 8. he has
gotten entirely well. Bis i ace is all healed over
wiih new flesh, and his general : health is excel
lent. His recovery is wonderful, r

Snatched from the Grave. ' '
Mrs. Sarah K. Turner and her mother, Vra. P.
KBrown, for nineteen years residents of Hum
boldt, Term , make the lollowing statements as
to the merits of Swift's Bpeoiflo. Mrs. Turner's
ease Is well known in that oommunity. She says :
"I was afflicted tor two or three, years with
Bosema and Bryslpelas-combined. My whole sys
tem was broken down, my strength and appetite
gone, and I became as helpless as a child, being
lifted f r im place to place oy my friends. I was
treated by the best physician in the community
with Iodide of Potash and the other usual reme
dies for sueh cases. . I was given up to die by my
friends . My sufferings were beyond description,
and i had lost all hope of recovery. Last Janu
ary I was induced to try Swift's specific, having
received a pamphlet from the company detailing
its merits. The first half doz?n bottles had the
effect to bring back hope to my heart, and the
thought of being well again brought Joy and
gladness to the household I have taken altoge
ther 31 bottles. The sores have all healed up and
disappeared; my strength has returned, and I am
able to do all kinds of house work. Swift's Spe
cific I honestly believe, snatched me from the
grave, and I do not know how to be grateful
enough for my recovery. i i

' Moderation may be considered
as a tree; of which tbe root is contentment
and tbe fruit repoee.
A; Christian's experience is like
a rain-bow, made up of drops of grief of
earin ana oeams or tne Duss or heaven.
It is a matter of devout thanks
giving, that although for the last one hun
dred and. twenty-five years a shin has left
England annually for the Moravian Mis
sions in tne Arctic regions, not a single ves
sel or passenger has been lost by storm,
iceberg or wreck. --..:
Do you ask what application we
would make of these facts T Just this: ''It
takes a lifetime to- build a character; it only
takes a moment o destroy it." "Watch
and pray," therefore, "that ye enter not into
temptation." "Let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall." -There
is a power to make each hour : ;
i As sweet as heaven designed it !
. Nor need we roam to bring it home,

. ," And lose what nature found us ;
. For life hath no charm so dear
As home and friends around us. ,
It is a well known saying that
the prayer-meeting is a true index of the
state of religion in a church; and it is so
Decause it indicates , how . earnestly tbe
church is seeking those things which are
aoove a seeking which always brings the
promised blessing of being "filled." If tbe
meeting does not discover and develop this
huneerini and thirstinir after the righteous
ness of the kingdom, the meeting is a fail
ure; it aoes not accomplish its true end.
Tbe entertaining lecture and the attractive
variety and vivacity of the services, so far
from making the prayer-meeting a success,
often distract the mind of the church from
what ought to be its special object Rich
mond Advocate.
i One of the essential elements of
prosperity and success in every church is
individual piety in its members. ' Indeed,
this is the only kind of piety there is. Men
cannot be pious as communities; if pious
at all, they must be pious as individuals.
And unless the members of a church are
truly pious and . devoted to God, it cannot
prosper. . The Church is but the aggregate
of its members, and what , they do not pos
sess as individuals, it cannot possess as an
association of ; individuals. The only way
to secure a revival in a . church is to begin
with its individual members. If each of
these would go to God for himself, and
get his own. heart quickened and revived,
there would be no need of praying for the
revival of the Church, for it would be al
ready revived. Methodist Recorder.
Will the man who goes about
ridiculing Christianity tell his audience the
next time he lectures, where he can find an
infidel hospital, or refuge of any kind for
poverty or distress, or any society composed
of infidels which seeks out and relieves the
suffering, in this country or in any other on
the face of the earth f Is there an infidel
organization that is doing anything even to
spread sound learning and civilization in
any part of tbe world? There are societies
that operate in a mere humanitarian sphere,
outside of Christianity, but not in opposi
tion to it, and they are doing good; they
are reflecting upon' suffering men the
glancing rays : of the Christian religion.
But we have yet to learn of the existence
of the first institution founded on the tenets
of infidelity, which even pretends to seek
the wtlfare of mankind. Christian Intelli
gencer. - - '
- Whatever may be the parts and
powers of a speaker, whenever he intrudes
himself upon his audience, the magic wand
drops from his hand and he becomes pow
erless as an orator.. He may please, enter
tain or instruct,, but he has no power to
smite the conscience, stir the soul or move
to action. Of this the great Cicero is a
mournful example. - He dazzled the Roman
Senate with the splendor of bis elocution,
but accomplished nothing worthy of his
intellect. The foremost. man in Rome, in
thought and language, he stood often upon
the sea of public passion, - and bade the
storms to cease, -but the wind and waves
did not obey hiuL The ambition of his life
was to be a leader, but this he was not and
could not be. The sermon is plain he was
ever asserting or assuming that he was the
greatest man in Italy, the saviour of Rome.
Self-assertion vitiated the great powers of
this great manj.. And in the history of the
pulpit are to be found sad wrecks around
this same fatal rock,' Borne .there are who
consume their splendid powers in feats of
sacred eloquence; who never touch the
plain of sacred eloquence.) - They fail to

- Since then I have been unable to-be

wood; my limbs were puffed up and filled
with water.
All the best physicians agreed that noth
