Press says: The Blacksmith Shop is
in itself, a sight worth seeing. Twelve
forges are arranged around a large
stack, at which sixteen hands are em
ployed. A small steam engine drives
a fan which forces air into a large trunk,
from which it is distributed to each

E The Herald's special Cuban
correspondent, O' Kelly, sent a request to
Gen. Morales to pass the Spanish lines.
Morales replied le could go where Ire
liked but if caught within the Cuban or
Spanish lines afterward, he would be
treated as a spy and shot accordingly.
The Herald replies to this. " If the
Herald Commissioner receives any in-
jtir3' at your hands without violating
the laws of your country, 30U will be
held to a strict nceountability, and will
bo made to sutler the penalty of tho

jg1 Trained snakes Mr. Prank
Stockton, in hi3 " Roundabout Ram
bles," tells us that b3'S and girls in
France sometimes amuse themselves
by getting up a snaketeam. They tie
strings to the tails of two common
harmless snakes, and then they elrive
them about, usinga whip (I hope gentry)
to make these strange steeds keep to
gether and go along livel3'.
It is said that snakes which have been
played with in this way soon begin to
like their new life, and will allow the
children to elo what they please with
them, showing all the time the most
amiable elisposition. .There is nothing
very strange in a trained snake.

Thomas Dorsey, well known mer
chant in Baltimore, fell into the water
at the foot e)f Frederick Street, and was
drowned. ,
A Connecticut newspaper solemnly
asserts that a Danbury man fractured
the ceiling just above a chair,. in which
there had been placed a. burning hot
poker.
Dr. Valentine Mott said wisely to a
graduating class : "Young gentlemen,
have two peickets made a large one to
hold the insults, and a small one to hold
the fees." :
Human footprints have been dis
covered in the rock in Douglas county,
Oregon, seven feet below the, surface of
tho ground. They were fifteen inches
in length.
A prudent New Jersey woman who
hasn't left the house all winter for fear
of slipping on tho ice and hurting her
self fell down her own stairs and broke
her leg last week.
The white of an e-gg i said to be a
specific for fish bones sticking in the
throat. It is to be swallowed raw,
and will carry down a bone easily and
certainly. There is another fact touch
ing eggs, which should be remembered.
When, as sometimes by accident, corro
sive sublimate is swallowetl, the white
of two eggs taken will neutralize the
poison, aud change tho effect to that of
a dose of calomel.
The last worels pronounced by the
Emperor, says the London 2 igctro, in his
dying moments, were adelressed to his
old and faithful friend, Dr. Conneau.
They were: ' Etiez vous a Sedan ?''
(Were you. at Sedan? Subsequently,
the Empress held his hand in hers, and
gently kissed it; the Emperor smiled,
and his lips moved, as if returning his
wife's embrace, but he never uttered
another weird after that last thought
"Sedan!" ,
The House tobacco bill which has
passed giving to producers of tobacco
the right to sell direct te consumers,
meets the disapproval of all the manu
facturers of the country as -well as the
internal revenue meu. Commissioner
Douglas has addressed the members o
the U. S. Senate finance committee in
which he avers the disastrous effect it
will have on that Bureau aud prayinga
hearing before that Body . from the
manufacturers and revenue men. He
estimates the revenue would be reduced
by the passage of such a bill $300,000 per
annum.
Farm-Yard Scraps.
An old farmer writes to the Cincinnati
Times : , For cholera, if I kuow the dis
ease, as soon as you see the hog begin
to droop and try to vomit, gag him, and
give him twenty grains of calomel made
into a pill. If you have been in tho hab
it of giving your hogs spirits of turpen
tine at the rate of one tablespoon ful to
tho hog, put it on corn, auel you will
rarely be troubled with this fatal dis
ease. If tho first dose tf calomel does
not relieve in twenty-four hours, repeat
the tlose. I rarely have to repeat it tif
administered in time. We sometimes
see hogs dragging their hind legs. This
is caused by worms in tho kidneys, and
may be easily cured by giving a table
spoonful of turpentine every morning
for three or four da3s mixed with corn.
It is funny, but it is true, this way
of "how" to drive a lien into the coop,
by Mr. J. M. IJaile3' tf tho Danbury
(Conn.) Neics: When a woman has a
hen to idrivo into the coop she takes
hold of her hoops with both hands,
shakes them quietly toward the delin
quent, and says, ' Shew ! there." The
hen takes one look at tho object to con
vince herself that it's a woman, and
then stalks majestically into the coop in
perfect tlisgust of tho sex. A man don't
do that way. He goes out doors and
says, " It is singular" nobody in this
house can drive a hen but myself," and
picking up a stick of wooel hurls it at
the offcneling biped,, and observes :
Get in there, vou 1 thief." The hen
immediately loses her reason and dashes
to the opposite end of the yard. The
man straightway dashes after her.
She comejs back again with her head
down, her wings out, and followed by
an assortment of stove-wood, fruit-cans
and coal-clinkers, with a much puffing
and very mad man i.i the rear. Then
she skims up on the t;toop, and under
the barn, and over a fence or, two, and
around the house, and back again to
tho coop, all jthe ' while talking as only
an excitetl hen can talk, and all the
while followed by thmgs' convenient
for handling, and by a man whose coat
is on the sawbuck and whose hat is on
the ground, and whose perspiratien
and profanit3' appear to hayb no limitj
By this time the other hens have coio
out to take a hand in tho debate, and
help dodge tho missiles and then the
man says every hen on the place shall
be sold in the morning, and puts on his
things and goes down street, and the
woman dons her hoops and has every
one of those hens housed and contented
in two. minutes, and the only sound
heard on the premises is the hammer
ing by the oldest boy as ho mends the
I broken pickets. 1

Its Officers and Directors are citizens of
the State, ol high charater lor business
capacity, enterprise and probity. It on'ors
every
Substantial Eenelit
that Northern Companies do, with the great
additional consideration that the capital is
kept within the State, and, therefore, helps
to build up and foster Home Institutions.
Another important fact to be considered
is, that the Wilmington Life has thus far
obtained a very much larger interest for
the money invested at home, than any of
the New York Companies receive for their
investments, according to their sworn state
ments before the Commissioner of that State
These unquestionable facts should com
mend this Company, above all others, to
our people. Let it be borne in mind that
millions of dollars received for Life premi
ums have been sent North since the war,
which at pnee drains the South and enrich
es the plethoric capitalists of the North If
there was no other consideration, safety,
fairness and cheapness being equal, why
North Carolinians should insitre at home,
this were more than sufficient,
, The Wilmington Life
has excellent special features.
It place-s no restriction on Residence or
Travel ; ft makes no extra charge for Fe
