A number of years ago, in a book which was called "Leaves from the Life of a Special Correspondent," M. O'Shea, the author of the book, javc the following description of an adventure he had with a herd of elephants. Said he : "A jonng triend asked me once to show him some elephants, and I took him along with me, having first borrow ed an apron and filled it with or anges. This he was to carry while accompanying me in the stable, but the moment we reached the door the herd set np such a trumpeting they had scented the fruit that he dropped the apron and its con tents and scnttkd oil like a scared rihbir. There were eight elephants, and when I picked np the oranges I found I had 25. I waited deli berately along the line, giving one to each. When 1 got to the extrem ity ot the narrow stable I turned, and was about to begin the distribu tion again, when I suddenly reflect ed that it elephant No. Tin the row caw me give two oranges in succes sion to No. 8 he might imagine he was being cheated and give mc a smack with his trunk that is where the elephant. falls short of the hu man being so I went to the door and bttgan at the beginning as be fore. Thrice I went along the lino, and then I was in a fix. I had one or.mge left, and I had to get back to thed jor. Every elephant in the herd had his greedy gaze focussed on that orange it was as much as my life was worth to give it to any ono of them. What was I to do ? I held it up conspicuously, coolly peeled it, and ate it myself, it was tnott amusing to notice the way those elephants nudged each other and shook their ponderous sides. They thoroughly entered into the humor of the thing.'! Harper's Round Table. 1 THIS SNAKE BITE. Pneumatic Tire of a Bicycle Punctured, Ac cording To This Tale. Patchogue, May ti2. The prize snake story of the season reached here from l'ndgl:ampt jn today. Samuel Jarvis, while riding his wheel through tlntt village yester day afternoon, ran over a big black snake, which was sunning itself in the roadway. The reptile, resen mg this injury to its person, em bedded its tangs in one of the pneu matic tires of Jarvis' bicycle. Jarvis killed the enake and, re mount ng, starting off with it as a trophy. lie had not eone far, how ever, when the bitten tire became deflated. Examination showed that the snake's teeth had punctured the rubber tube like so many needles. There were a few people to whom Jarvis told the story who scoffed at the idea of the snake causing the puncture, but the local dentist is said to have lent corroboration to the tale by examining the molars and incisors of the dead snake and discovering on them minute particles of vulcanized rubber like that of the pupctured tire, OKI People.

OA. The Great House of Rothschild. The Rothschilds are the richest folks in the world. The founder of the great financial house was a Jew at t rank fort named Cohen. At his death he advised his four 6ons to keep the fortune he left them, some million or so, together, and to take a new name. Over the door of his business place ho had a red shield, and the sons took it for a name, which in aiuther tongue was Iwothschild. It is the greatest bank ing family this world has seen. The lather had genius for finance like so many of his race. lie w.-ia a dealer in furniture and bric-a-brac, and was poor. When Napoleon invaded Germany the Electoral Hesfe Castle placed $3,000,000 in his hands for safe-keeping. A writer in the Pitts burg Dispatch gives an account of it that doc-9 not correspond with a me oi tne lamily we real some ten years ago." lie fays the money wa3 sent to a son of Mr. Cohen in Lon don Nathan Meyer who made sucn "a pile" out of linti-h bonds by getting the earliest news trom the battle of Waterloo. The ac count says of him : ''He was on the staff of Welling ton, and a3 soon as the battle was over rode at breakneck speed to Ostendjtrarersed the stormy English channel at the risk of his life by a lileral use of gold, and was on the Stock Exchange t lie next morning, with ah air as calm and indifferent as though battlefields played no part in his peaceful life as financier. The public knew ally of the events of two days before Waterloo, when the irnian Field Marshal Iiluchcr had been beaten by a detachment of the French armv at Ligny. The gloomy air of Rothschild and the rejort3 which were set in motion ot the defeat of the Allies caused a sudden tumble in the prices pf securities." In the life we read, it was stated that he remained in Iondon, but had fast packets to cros the channel and relays of riders t6 bring the first news from the battlefield. He got ahead of the liritisdi War Office and caused a rumor to get out that japoieon was victor, lie then nlnntrod in mnlrincr pnnrmnna tmr- - a v m a-a vw V, - is I J V va K. a ' a chases of English stocks. The father was a very faithful man. The Dispatch's article tells how Napo leon tried to forco him to surrender the money and failed. "A com mission went to his establishment and minutely examined the vault and the books. Menaces and in timidations were in vain, however, in persuading Rothschild to divulge the whereabouts ot the treat ure, and the commission undeitook to play upon his religious scruples by de manding an oath. Ho refused to take it, and there was talk of put ting him under arrest. Najolconj did not quite care to venture such an act of violence, and an effort was then made to win the old man by the promiseof gain. They proposed to him to give linn half the treasure if he would deliver the other half to the French officials. They promis ed him a receipt in full, accompani ed by a certificate proving that he had yielded only to force, and that he was blameless for the seizure of the entire amount. 'But the probity of the Hebrew,' says Marbot, Med him to reject this proposition, and thejr left him alone in peace.' The Elector, .having rertnrned to power in 1S14, the Frankfort banker re turned to him exactly the deposit which had been intrusted to him." The lite wo read long ago said that after this Cohen was madeTreasnrer orsomethingof the kind of the Prin cipality and thnslaid the foundation of the fortune he left. It is needless to follow the account ot their opera tions with Governments and Pow ers, for they are many and huge. The London Nathan is said to have made 0,000,000 in eight years out of Great 1'ritain this in premiums tor risks taken in transmitting funds. The writer quoted from says that ho turned over his capital 2,500 times in live j-ears, and after "the abdi cation of Napoleon and the general peace Nathan Mayer had charge of the issue thrcugh the London mar ket of large loans on account of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, the Empire of Austria Hungary, the Kingdom of Naples, the Empire of Rraxil and the King dom of Eelgium. In the meantime other brandies of the house were acquiring a similar position in the Continental capitals." That Nathan Meyer, the founder ot the London hous, was a great man no one informed will gainsay. He was a creator ot methods, a financial genius of wide sweep and large views. It is stated that he kept up a thorough knowledge of all European Cabinets and Knew what they were up to. "Anselm Mover, who succeeded his lather, the'old Amschel, at Frankfort, had a clientele of all the reigning or expectant German princes ; the list of the loans he made is the explana tion of his omnipotence in German-. Governments have, inJeed, counten anced this situation. At the same time that the Emperor Francis the Second created the five brothers Raronsof the Holy Roman Empir. he named James Rothschild his Consnl-General at Paris, and con ferred the same function on Nathan Meyer. The son of the last was created a baronet. Ho organized a complete courier service, even to the extent of stations for carrier-pigeons. It is thns, it is said, that ho apprised Lord Aberdeen, the chief ot the English Cabinet,' of the first newa ot the revolution ot July. He main tained emissaries in every cabinet." This is surely instructive, and if the family was 6o great in the "first twenty years of tlie century and later, it is far richer and more pow erful in 1S95. It has at last got a chance at the United States Gov ernment and in one nice little operation with Cleveland and Car lisle, made, with their partners in the transaction, the sum of $S,O0Ot 000, to come out of the toilers and tax-payers of our land. It is the business of the Rothschilds to ac commodate Governments with mon ey when haid up. During the life of the late Sir Lionel, successor to Nathan, he placed $00,oi0,000 of time loans for which he give per sonal guarantee. Think of tha.

Mr. Birdsong Says the Present Contract With Stewart Brothers will Cost that Much More than the Contract Before in Force An Inquiry into the Bonanza Bills of the Winston Firm. Secretary II. C. Drown, of the Railroad Commission, speaking of the outrageous charges made by Stewart Brothers, public printers, for recent work turned out, said as far as the Report of the Railroad Commission was concerned, it would take him thirty days to read the proof of the book, and as it had to be read by him, the expense and trouble of a month's stay "in Win ston was involved in all the mess of having put the contract at this distance Irom Raleigh. Moreover. work for all parties here had to bear the additional expense of ex press charges to this place, and Mr. J. C. Birdsong, a practical printer, said that the present printing con tract would cost the State 10,000 more than the last. As to the books for which a bill was coolly made at treble pi ice, the acting Auditor, Mr. Palmer Jer man, when the bill was presented, promptly and propetly refused to issue a warrant for the manifestly over-charged work. Thus Messrs. Stewart Brothers will have to pick their ihnts ajrain : meanwhile, the whole matter has been put in the hands of a competent committee of practical printers who will look iuto the matter. The result of their investigations will doubtless make interesting reading for the public if not for the public printers. jSews-Observer. Seventeen-Year Locusts. Des Moines, la., Mav 29. All the farmers in the central part of the State are much alarmed over the discovery of a swarm of seven teen-vear locusts. They are similar to the locusts which devastated the western country seventeen years ago, and have the characteristic mark the letter " on each wing. Scientific men sav that this is the year when the locusts should appear in clouds again, it the theory advanced in regard to their return is correct. So far only small damage is reported. Salt Good for Something Else. One of the most successful chick en raisers in the county tells the Hera-ld of a cure for cholera that he tried with good effect He had lost numbers of fowls and gave them common epsoni salts a strong solu tion in their drinking water and mixing it with corn meal dough. After eating of this only three chickens died. This was last fall and not ono has died from cholera since. He also fed parched corn every other day, in connection with the salt, and found it very beneficial. Salisbury Herald.

C. it cl gi WORSE THAN THE DEATH CHAIR. A Stone That Slays as by Lightning All Who Unwittingly Approach It. One of the most recently discov ered inexplicable phenomena is an immenso.electnc 6tone which crops out above ground in an almost in accessible mountain pass some fifty or 6ixty miles north ot The Needles, in Arizona. In pursuing a con scientious investigation into a subject ot this kind one finds it necessary to call into requisition such an im mensenumbcr of grains of salt that the real truth of the matter becomes frequently lost in the briny deep, a3 it were, but in spite of . this tho existence ot tho electric stone has been proved beyond tlie possibility of doubt. In a multitude of witnesses there is safety, and it appears that the natives were for years acquainted with the stone and its peculiar prop erties long before its discovery by a party of hunters a few days ago. Among the Indims the stone goes by the name of ,Death Trap," and tho peak whereon it i3 located is called Death Trap Mountain. They say that ther fathers and grandfathers before them knew of the 6tone, and it is only an old and experienced guide who will ven turc to take a party in the neigh borhood of it, lest by some nnlucky chance a too daring hunter will lose his life by suddenly coming upon it in an unguarded moment. The stone itself is described as being a rough jagged outcropping, bursting up through the -shale of its surroundings, reaching npr the mountain side tojhe height of about seven feet, when a sharp projec tion shelves over again, making a three-sided tunnel, perhaps 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. Ordinarily the rock is of a blue metallic lustre, and shows traces of volcanic action, being feamcd and ribbed as if by melted lava. In the heat of the day. when the sun shines squarely upon it, the stone assumes a faded pale blue hue, at which times the Indians declare it to be perfectly harmless. As the sun leaves the gorge, however, the stone begins gradually to deepen in color, and when night cornea and there is no moon it glows with all the brilliancy of a molted mass. This luminatiug may be distinctly 6een for a great distance when there are no inter vening mountains to obstruct the view. Now, as to the peculiar death-giving power of tho stone. 'It is said that nothing great or small can 6et foot on it and live. So powerful are tho volts that it gives' out at even the slightest contact that it is impossible for even the largest ani mals to withstand their strength. Recently the party of hunters re ferred to ventured without a guide iuto some of the more dangerous mountain passes in the up country, and by chance found their way into a narrow gorge, having come in hot pursuit after a little lloct-limbed mountain goat which they managed to start from the rocku below. Sud denly, when they were some seventy or eighty feet away, they were as tonished beyend measure to seo the goat tall dead in his tracks, although not a shot had been fired. They were making rcadv to climb up the ledge and secure the little creature, when an old Indian high up on the clilf behind called to thero to stop. So frantic was his manner and so per sistent his admonition that they waited till ho scrambled down to them, and then for the first time came to light the stoiy of the elec tric wonder. The, goat had faljen into the death tiap, the Indian explained, and had the hunters followed after him they, too, would have shared his fate. There was ample evidence at hand to prove to the hunters the truth of the old man's statement, for the lit tie gorge surrounding the stone has been turned into a perfect charnel house full of the withered bones of its victims. And if this were not enough to convince tho more skep tical, while they stood within thirty feet of the stone a big rattlesnake crawled up the precipice and out upon the stone, only to coil and wither and finally die iu tho intens cst agony. The hunters expressed the deep est gratitude to the old Indian for saving their lives,' but regretted no little the loss of the goat, whose species is almost extinct now, where upon the old man unwound a riata from his waist and flung it up un der the rocks. His aim was uner ring, and presently the goat was dragged down into a place of catety, whence the hunters removed him. This was an old trick among expe rienced hunters, the Indian ex plained, and said he himself had reaped a pretty rich harvest of pel try by snatching fresh victims from the grasp of the death trap. The sun was almost down, and had quite left the gorge, so at the request of the Indian the hunters accompanied him to his mountain perched cabin, and from there be he'd the lighting up ot the stone when tho moon was gone. As they sat about the firu watching the phe nomenon, the old host told them many marvelous stories of the wonder, among others the legend of its discovery by the tribe hun dreds of years ago. The legend runs about as follows; Once upon a time there came into tho midst of our tribe asking food and shelter a stranger, with a marvelously beautiful face. His body was mean and little and puny, and his back was humped, hut his face was fair bejond all description and strangely beautiful. His eyes were large and luminous, like twin stars, and although he seemed to know nothing of herbs or their properties, he possessed the marvel ous faculty ot healing the sick by laying his hands npon them, or even by looking fixedly at them with his great eves. Even dumb animals would flock around him if he chose to have them do so, and the chief held him in such reverence that by and by he Jadopted tho stranger into the tribe and made him a medicine man. Many years passed, during which the stranger still lingered, and in the meantime the chiefs son had grown to manhood, and it became time for him to take a wife. The comeliest maiden of tho tribo was selected as his bride, and prcpara tions were made far tho nuptials. When tho wedding day arrived, however, the maiden was missing, aud an old woman declared that the medicine man had spirited her away. A diligent search failed to disclose her whereabouts, and the chief reluctantly consented to be- lievo the friend of his adoption guilty. A company of twelve ot tho bravest warriors were ordered to drive the medicine man out of the tribe, for no ono would consent to see him killed outright, so great was the love of the people for him. Early in the morning the warriors set out to chase him beyond the mountains, the medicine man running swiftly on before so that they could just scarcely keep him in sight. Finally it becamo evident that ho was leading them on after him instc-ad of fleeing before them. and at last, though the chief sent messengers to order the men to return, it was impoesible to get them to heed the command. On and on they followed, climbing the mountain side and looking neither to the right nor to the left, but keeping their eyes fixed desperately upon the medicine man before them. The chiefs messengers fol lowed aa close as they dared, and at least beheld with consternation tho warriors fall one by ono dead in their tracks between the parted Hps of a great bluj stone. lhus was the death trap discover ed many hundreds of 5'care ago, and the Indians believe it to have been set by the medicine man to ward off all pursuit after him and the stolen bride of the chiefs son. Philadelphia Times. FOR SELLING FAKE SILVER. Well-Known New York Firms Indicted and Arraigned. New York, May 29. Among the indictments filed today by the fcrand jury were true bills against the following firms for selling fake "silverware" : Bloomingdalo Broth ers, Simpson, Crawford fc Simpson, ri. v. jvocii cc uo., stern cc uo.. Williams fc Co., Horn & Sons, Hilton, Hughes cc Co., Ehrich Brother, Jamison & Co., and Daniels & O'Neill. The members of the various firms indicated were arraigned before Recorder Goff in the Court of Gen eral Sessions this afternoon, and on motion of District Attorneys Battle and Mcllugh were paroled in the custody of their counsel. It is a startling statement made by our Raleigh correspondent that four-fifths ot the serious crimes committed in North Carolina are directly chargeable to the moon shiners and the illicit distillers of whiskey. This is shocking. The crime of illegal distilling grows in stead of diminishing, we suppose. Can men possibly be good and de sirable citizens who deliberately and habitually violate the laws of the Government? Whiskey is a great curse, and the drinking habit a large tax upon tho people, but when it is made by violating the laws it becomes a crime as well aa an immorality. It is stated recent ly as a tact, and by the highest au thority on statistics of the liquor traffic in England, "that the amount spent by the .United Kingdom for drink in 1694 was over $093,000, 000. Of this sum over $000,000, 000 was spent for spirits and beer. People who spend that way have no right to complain of heavy taxes by the Government. Wilmington Messenger.

Prominent New Engenders Acknowledge the South's Superior Advantages for Cot ton Manufacture The Immense Increase in Manufactures in Recent Years. Baltimore, Md., May 29. The special cotton mill edition ol the Manufacturer's Record of this week 6ays that amount of capital invested in Southern cotton mills increased from $21,900,000 in 1SS0 and $01, 000,000 in 1890, to $107,000,000 at present, while about $12,000,000 additional will be spent in the con struction of the mills now building and projected. In 1SS0 the South had 607,000 spindles, in 1S91, 1, 700,000 spindles, and at the present time 3,000,000 spindles, wlnlo the mills under construction will add 500,000 more, or a total of 3,500, 000 spindles, thus doubling tho en tire cotton mill business of tho South lince 1S90. A number of New England experts give their views upon the cotton manufactur ing advantages of the Southern States, Mr. M. D. Thompson, President of the Corless Engine Company of Providence, and for 12 years manager of the largest mill corporation in New England, run ning over 420,000 spindles, says of the South's cotton mill facilities: "Years ago after a careful consid eration I become fully convinced that tlie South possessed superior advantages for tho manufacture of cotton yarns and coarse goois. I have since had no occasion to change the opinion then formed. I have great faith in the possibilities of the South. I believe it is and will long continue a profitable field for invest ment iu the manufacture of cot ton. I believe thero is an almost illimitable fiield for tho cxtention of our cotton manufacturing in this country and with tho extension into finer numbers of yarn and higher grades of fabrics in the North and with the opening of new mar kets through tlie agency of the South's superior advantages, a vast ly larger product of course good can bo made. I believe that the cxtention of the manufacture in the South should bo encouraged by all people. It will establish a bond of interest between New England, the Middle States and theSouth, which will be of crreat ccod to the interest of the nation and in the near future will be recognized in the industry and political arena of our countrv as a factor of national importance. Mr. C. B. .Makepeace, a leading New England cotton mill engineer, says: ""Tho next ten years will snow a great increase m the num ber of spindles in this country. 1 think a largo percentage of it, even including the fine numbers, will be in the Southern States, and it is an indisputable fact that the average number of yarns spun in the bonih has been raised from coarser 1 3 finer counts more rapidly than has been tho tendency in this direction in 2s ew England. lho phcuomcnal success of some mills erected in the South during the last four years, which are making a finer grade of goods than has boon the custom in that section, will cause others to change to fine goods. It is nothing more than natural that the large percentage of the increase in epin- A i rj in tliia pnnnfrr fbirinr tho years to come should be at advan tageous points for manufacturing, situated near the point where the cotton is grown, than that the iron industy o? this country shonlJ cen tre somewhere near where all the raw material for the making of iron are found."

O., about 12 miles from Lenoir, yester day. It was the explosion ol a boiler at Deal's saw mill, resulting in the instant death of Ed. Deal, the fireman, Pender and Gordon Oxford, and fatal injuries to a Mr. Jones, who died five hours after the explosion. Two other young men were also baldy bruised and 6calded,bnt will recover. It seems that the safety limit with the boiler was 100 pounds pressure, but the ; fireman recklessly weighted down tho safety valve and was trying to get 125 pounds. The result was a 6ad one. The two young Oxfords had been working in the woods near by and had come to the mill for water; the others were employes. The mill, for some reason, had been stopped temporarily, and all were standing in a group near the boiler at the fatal moment. Pen der and Gordon Oxford were sons of our esteemed countyman, Mr. Sion H. Oxford, who waa a fear less and valued soldier in the Twenty-second North Carolina Regi ment. Especial sympathy is felt for the Old Confedorato veteran in this sore bereavement. While in Topeka last March, E. T. Iiarlier, a prominent Dewspaper man of La Cygne, Kan was taken w ith cholera morbus Terr severely. The niht clerk at the hotel where he wu stoppicg hap pened to bare a bottle of Chamberlain' Colic, Cholera and Diairhua Bemedy and gave him three dos-ea which reliev ed him and he thinks saved his life. Every family should keep this remedy in their home at all times. Xo one can tell how soon it may be needed. It costs but a trine and may be the means of saving much suffering and perhap s the life of some member of the farr.ily. 25 and Meent bottles for sale by I. A. Houston. Druggist, Mount Airy, N.
