Think About It. There is much
truth in the study of physiognomy, and
a man who has a varied acquaintance,
who is sufficiently enlightened and yet
shrewd, may turn it to profit. But there
is still more in the study of deportment,
or as it is termed in slang, in "style."
Indeed a man's deportment is the fair
est index to his character, exhibiting
the amount of refinement to Which he
has attained, as well as show
ing the original i defects', of his
nature. The free and -easy style; is most
common in this countiy, and is often
cultivated to excess, so much as to
shock and disgust. A reasonable
amount of the article is always pleasant.
but as it is a style which pervades all
ranks ot society, and is so often simu-
ateel to entice the unwary into confi
dence and crime, we say beware of it
n a stranger and oft times in a friend.
ndced, unless the person has been
tried, with free and easy manners he
may lead you to rely on friendship, and
when the pinch comes, lo and behold.
:ie steps from under and down you come
with a bang. Then there is the, extra
courteous manner, which is as often re-
pellant as attractive. Look on its
wearer with suspicion likewise, until
you know him at the bottom. But the
gentleman well he wears like gold
dollar, and maybe trusted like a the
others, if you know him, but we bad
rather take him on trust than lose him
at any time. So much for the male
community.
Isow as to tne feminine portion, the
first and most brazen- style marks its
possessor at once, with virtue lost and
honor de&d. And its imitator, the
'last style," just between the fashiona
ble and the blaze, ia always open to
suspicion. With flowing ribbons and
painted laces, it attracts attention with
temptation. So none of that for us.
And then there is the fashionable 'style'
at church and opera,on drive and prom
enade. How beautiful and artistic, vet
how false and alas. so cold.
Compared with the last, the
domestictdeportment, into which,thank
God, with few exceptions, it is always
destined to merge, it marks an era of
rivolity we believe and only nothing
more, lhis last manner is woman a
crowirjg crown, whether in matron or
maid. It speaka of days well-spent, of
deas trained to the sweetest, purest at
tainment of art in dress, in person and
n miod. ' The wanderer always notes
t, and involuntarily thinks of home,
t is the light of the fireside after all
the Christmas fireside of the olden times.
And thus we muse and muse. Let us
think about it, and looking on and see
j therefore who bear these relations
in Hie to us. lollow them in training
our general deportment to the high
standard of the gentleman at home and
abroad, and the lady whose 'loveliness
seems to be so truiy uu t

Hurrah for the Wets. There was

Babcock: Fire Extinguisher. The
exhibition made Monday evening in
front of the Court-house, by Major J. H.
Lacy, of Fredericksburg, Va., of the
Portabfe Sell-acting Babcock Fire Ex
tinguisher, was successful in an eminent
degree. We have already urged upon
our city authorities the propriety ot in-,
creasing the efficiency of our Fire De
partment by the purchase of six of
these Extinguishers for our Hook and
Ladder Company and four for the Buck
et Company. '
The machine is simple, durable and
wonderfully effective. Sulphuric , acid
and soda water are the agents used to
generate instantaneously carbonic acid
gas. The copper cylinder holds six gal
lons of water in which the soda i3 de
posited. Theacid is held in a glass
bottle suspended in the carbonated wa
ter. The Extinguisher will remain
charged for an indefinite period, and
you only, in the case of fire, have to pull
up the handle, shake the machine, and
It will throw the water, impregnated
with gas, forty feet, and put out any in
cipient fire.
The priceof the machines is $60, with
six charges. Maior Lacy, the General
Agent for Virginia, North and South
Carolina, is at the Yarborough House
and is ready to fill orders.
We examined with much interest the
pamphlet explaining the Babcock Fire
Engines for cities and towns, operating
oh the same principle as the portables,
which, we have mentioned above, whose
efficiency is only limited by its capaci
ty. In the engines you have two copper
tanks holding each 200 gallons. They
are fixed upon light carriages, and are
warranted to throw a 6tream three hun
dred feet perpendicular, through the
hose. These fire engines are highly en
dorsed by 35 Fire Departments, and
are used in about fifty cities and towns
in the United States, and even in cities
having an abundant supply ot water
they are preferred for their promptness,
efficiency and from the fact that they
do not damage goods like water. A
couple of engines of this description
would be invaluable. It is claimed
that water impregnated with carbonic
acid gas has thirty times the effi
cieucy in extinguishing fire than
ordinary water, from the tact that the
carbonic acid gas i3 heavier than the
atmosphere, and at once cuts off the
oxygen which alone supports the com
bustion. It is well known thai a flame
will die out in 5 per cent of carbonic
acid gas.
The General Agent, Major Lacy, is a
well known Virginia gentleman and
served on the staff of Gen. Early, and
his connection with this business is a
guarautee of its merit.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnson is the agent
for the sale of these machine at Savan
nah, Georgia.

Miss Logan, who is eliciting words of
the warmest commendation from the
press of Richmond and other places
she has visited, we give the following
sketch of the prominent facts connec
ted with her history :
She is a daughter of C. LogaD, a
comedian of ability and note,
and sister of Eliza Logan, one of the
finest actresses ot America, bhe was
born in the State of New York in 1841,
and is now in her 33rd year. She had
the advantages of a happy, virtuous
and cultivated home, and is the gradu
ate, with the highest honors,")! an En
glish female college speaking all the
modern languages with fluency and cor
rectness. In August, 1854, she made
her debut on the stage in Philadelphia
at the Arch Street Theatre, but retired
temporarily from the profession in 1857,
when she went to France. In 1859
she was presented at the Court of the
Tulleries, and received marked "atten
tions from the Empress Eugenie. While
abroad she wrote for the press of both
France and England, and published
several works of fiction that established
her literary reputation. "Chateau
Fnssac" and " Photographs or raris
Life" were issued in Loudon in 1860,
and achieved great success. She re
turned to the stage in August, 18G4,
appearing in New York at Wallack's
Theatre, in a play ot her own composi
tion, "Eveleen." She won great ap
plause as an actress, but becoming dis
satisfied with the life, she finally re
nounced the stage in 1868, and be-
came a public lecturer. Though known
to lame as Olive Logan, she is married,
her husband being Mr. Wirt Sikes, well
and favorably known as a writer. Olive
Logan is author ot the following works
Chateau Frissac. or Home beenes in
France: Photographs of Paris Life

Jeanie Patterson : "The Trinity Church

HomiciDE in Cabarrus County.
On Saturday evening last a distressing
case of homicide occurred in Cabarrus
county, about six miles from Concord.
A white man by the name of Motley
sent word to W. Whittington that he,
Whittington, had been "talking about"
his family and to look out, that he in
tended to kill him, etc. About twilight
Saturday evening, Motley, m company
with another white man and a negro
boy, rode up to Whittiugton's house,
and while dismounting from his horse
was shot and instantly killed. Mr. Whit
tington, after the killing, proceeded to
the nearest magistrate's- and delivered
himself up. On Sunday he was carried
to Concord and jailed. Whittington is
a man ntty or sixty years old and, we

THE BRUTAL RAPE REVENGED.
The Hanging of Oeorse Lea at
Yancey ville King Alcohol Claims
Another Victim.
special to daily news. '
Yanceyville,' May 6. George Lea,
colored, convicted' at the last term of
the Superior Court of Caswell, of the
crime of rape upon the person ot an
aged white lady, was executed here to
day. The condemed has devoted most
of hisime since conviction to prayer.
He has always refused, to' see : no
body except relatives, and to day his
aged father came to take a last fare
well. The scene.. between them was
deeply affecting." The old man clasped
his son to his breast, both sobbing pits
eously for a long time. Large crowds
of negroes came pouring into town all
the morning, a majority of them being
f emales'dressed in their, gayest attire.
The jail yard where the workmen were
erecting the scaffold was the point of
interest to them all. The scaffold was
rude but substantial, allowing a fall of
five feet. Thogh intended to be hid
from public view, it was much, exposed.
The condemned earnesly requested his
former young master to remain and
witness his execution. By noon there
were at least five thousand negroes and
but very few "whites present.
As the hour for the execution ap
proached the adjacent roofs, fences and
trees were crowded with negroes. Such
was the throng on the lower fence
around the jail yard that it gave way
with a crash, precipitating many negroes
to the ground. .
At 1:15 a. ra., the Sheriff called Lea
from his cell into the lobby of the jail.
He was neatly attired tin black. The
Sheriff then placed a white shroud over
his body and he was pinioned by the
elbow3 behind and his hands in front.
In this terrible , plight he was led
to the scaffold. He mounted the
steps with a firm tread. W hen asked
what he had to say, he addressed the
crowd, warning them against whiskey
which, with the promptings of the
devil, he said, brought him there. He
acknowledged his crime, and said his
peace was made with his God.
As the Sheriff proceeded to pinion
him, he loudly exclaimed " Mats Tom,
oh Mars Tom, goodbye,' "goodbye, I am
about to die; meet me in heaven " ;
body of Lea was cashed to the ground,
quivering in the agonies of death. The
rope was loosened and another rope
brought. The noose was quickly made
and placed again on the condemned
neck, and once more he iwas swung, and
this time he remained suspended. The
body was drawn up and down two or
three times and then at 23 minutes past
3 was cut down. Pulsation lasted 12
minutes, soon ceased, and the soul of
George Lea w as at the judgment bar of
his God.
