I have read in your isue of the 19lh, Smator Urahaiu'a Bill" regultii.g salaries, and think it fair, except cc. 7, regulatiug the salaries of Judges of Superior Courts. That, I think, is decidedly too low, when we take into consideration tho liavelling expenses and hotel bills they have to pay. By the present system of rotation they are put to more expense in travel iug than heretofore. Tnere, too, wi waut our ablest and purest men on the Bench, and with few exceptions the lawyers of the State are not rich meu and usually have lr,e families to support. To rde their two annual circuits will cost them nearly if not quits 80J to $1000, which leaves them but 81000 to 12 0 p-r auuutu for support of families. Tuat will do for youn men just starting out, out lor experienced, able men, who Lave spent years in tha ir profession and who by their ability and integrity have built up a reputation and character that cauui t bo oomputed by dollais and cuets, it is too low. Besides, it is disproportionate to other salaries dem anding equal ability and talsnt. They are allowed no "fees " They are charg ed transient rates at a!l the hotels where they hold their Cjuits and have to pay first class fare on ail railroads, and where thre are to railroaHa tlm cost of travtlling is much higher, and by lookiuR at the railroad map p( our State you will readily sio that. by far the larger number of the Courthouses of the State are not accessib e by iail.

The cold spell which destroyed tbe orange trees in 18-"J. was experienced in the early sprinir, alter a period of soft, open weather, which had caused the sup to start up from the roofs and the branches to begin to put on a new growth. Since that dare the weather has been as cold repeatedly in the d-ad whiter, when the sap was down, wi hout indict ing the least injury. A Baby in a Wr.ix. At Roseville, 1 411-.. - a lew tiays ago, me nine son ot a widow ladv, a child of three or four years of age, while pi tying near a well, fell into it. His fall was observed mid parties ran to his rescue. It was found that he was on the surface of the wa ter, which was about twenty feet deep, clinging to something- and apparently unhurt. The peoplo c:ist about for means to save him, but found that the well rope was not strong enough to sustain tbe weight of a man, and it would be dangerous to the child, to say nothing of anything ehe, for aoy one to try to descend. While a ines" senger was hastening for a strong rope the well bucket was placed within the child's reach, and he was directed to get into it and hold on to the rope. The little follow, in an effort to do us he was tokl, put his feet on the edge oi the iiucsei ana clasped the rope with his hand; then those above him commenced to draw him up. It was a moment of intense suspense; scarcely a breath was drawn, as with exceeding cure the rope was handled and the bucket gradually ascended with the brave child clingiug to it courage ously. If he lost his hold and fell he doubtless would- perish, for it was almost too much to expect that he could fall twice into such a perilous place and escape. But gradually the burket ascended, slovvlv and surely, ami when at last the boy was where he could Ik- reached and a strong hand grasped him, there was a grand shout of relief from all.

The Baltimore Sun declares that Hayes is daily receiviug offers of the Presidency from a number of influen tial Republicau politicians, particularly in the South, but with the dignity aud modesty of a Cincinnatus, declines these invitations to break bis one term pledge. The Sun explains further that most of these politicians, in making the offer suggested that if Hayes were to give them a little Federal patronage, they would be able to work up senti ment iu his favor, and send to the next Republican nominating conventwn solid Hayes delegations. Woman's Progress. Lucv Stone says that, although women have not secured the ballot, they have in her time vastly improved their condition. She remembers when a woman was thought competent to teach only the small children in the summer schools, when her pay was a dollar a week, and she was expected to board around. Now women are professors in colleges with good salaries. In 4 States they vote on all school matters. Teaching, sewing and keeping house were the only occupations regarded as suitable for women. Now the census records seventy-one occupations that are open to women. No woman was a public speaker out of the Quaker Church. Now all platforms are free to them. The lyceuru offers to the woman lecturer the same open field that it does to a man. The pulpit and the bar are both occupied by woman. The woman physician did not exist. Now they have a successful practice in every large city and many of the smaller towns. There was not a college in the world thas admitted women. Now there are not only distinctively colleges for women, but a large number that welcome women to all their advanta ges, it is not many years junee a married woman could own nothing that she earned ; could not make a will of anything she possessed ; could not sue or be sued ; could not carry on business; had no lawful right to her children, and could not even be their guardian ; nor had she the right to her own person. Now, in most of the States, all this is changed or very much modified. Joint Masonic Sleeting. There will be a joint meeting of the members of Vm. G.

The old reliable Cotton Kin Cook stove, so loag the leading stove in this market has been greatly improved, it will be worth your while to call in at Brewsters and examine the quailities of the household necessity. Too much cannot be said in favor of this popular stove, Mr. Brewster has just received anotner car load, and is reany to serve his numerous friends and customers in this line. A full stock hardware, store and house fur nishing goods always ou hand. Guns and gun material a specialty. Moved, Mr. S. D. Wait General Agent of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, has removed bis office to the Mahler building, where he will be glad to welcome the many members and friends of the Company. This Company gives a person simply Life Insure nee, requiring only so much cash as is nsdded te cover the actual eurrent co . of bis policy in eac i year. Notwithstadding the scarcity of money there have been more new policies issued for this agency last year, than the one previous. $5.00 PER ANNUM REFORM. The Voice of tbe People and the Press, Wilmington Star, The Raleigh News has the taxes are relatively shown that higher now than they were under Radical rula. aud that the f 90 000 saved by abolishing annual sessions of the Legislature has disappeared, leaving taxation as high as ever. In South Carolina the Dem ocrats have reduced the taxes nearly fifty per cent. , Wllm'ngton Star. ' i . When the people could have easily given the public functionaries large salaries it was deemed improper and unsafe to do so. It was simply con trary to the best convictions and wishes of the tax-payers. In those days the total salaries paid i he officials of the capitol amounted to not much tnore than $64000. Now they aggregate over $25,000. Ara the people any better served now than then? If neoeasary we could enter each Djpartmdnt and show that the men of that time were every way t q ial to those of the present. Why tuen this large iucrease? It is one of the legacies of cirpet-bag rule. They introduced the custom of piyiug laige salaries. The llest Mince ICufrn. Greensboro Patriot.

As to the py of the officers, if the Legislature would obtiin from all of the States a list of the sal iries allowed, it would be astonished to lind that North Carolina, in her great poverty, pays much higher salaries than other States two or three times richer and with but little public dabt. Qreeusbo-o Patriot. We fear that this demand for economy is going to materially interfere with the system of internal improvements, backed by the State, that wo. hope to see adopted. It will require the ex penditure of money, .but money that will coma back to the State teu fold in very short period. The Motl'eU Law Cau be Un forced. corrcspondenceor the Richmond Dlspateji.) From a close observation of the work-'' ings of the "Moffott-register law,!'- I am persuaded that no measure could make it mre efficient than an amend ment of'the Constitution whereby the commissioners of the revenue shall be appointed by the First Auditor, and given supervisory care of this impor tant branch of the revenue system. It, will also secure a more faithful and effectual assessment of the personal property in the State. Count v Juuurc. January 21, 1879. ' ' If anything will convince a not altogether. bad mini that he is a brute, it is the sweet forgiveness of a delicate woman. Dr. Mary Walker's reason may be restored. Edison to said to be at work on an invention to keep panta loons from bagging. There is one advantage in marrying a woman who hasn't a inind of her own ; she can it forever be giving you a piece of "it. A lady in Louisville has a husband who snores. She keeps a clothes-pin under her pillow, and when his snoring awakes her, she puts it on his nose, then sleeps iu peace. A curious husband, once asked his wife: "My dear, what kind of a stone do you think they will give me when I am gone?" 14 Brimstone, John,'' was the affectionate reply. Tt is astonishing what whopping lies young folks will give and take during courtship. The trouble with a good many marriages is that the par ties quit lying when they enter tnatrU mony. A henpecked husband said, in ex tenuation of his wife's raids upon his scalp: " You see, she takes her own hair off so easily she doesn't know how it hurts to have mine pulled out." " Where a woman," says Mrs. Par tington, "has been married with a congealing heart, and one that beats desponding to her own, she will never want to enter the maritime state again A Canadian woman whose husband had the rheumatism didn't give him a sand bath, as she hadn't time, but she rubbed him with sandpaper until the friction was heard a mile and a half. An English writer says, in his advice to young married women, that their mother Eve married a gardener. It might be added that the gardener, in consequence of his match, lostfcis situation. Ambiguous In a country church yard there Is the following epitaph: "Here lies the. body of James Robin son and Ruth, his wife;", and under neath, " Their warfare is accomplish ed." "Don't you love her still f' asked the judge to a man who wanted a divorce. "Certainly, I do," said he; "I love her better still than any other way; but the trouble is she will never be still." The judge, who is a mar ried man himself, takes the case under advisement. Woo1. Get your wiod of J. D Whitaker, at his yard at the western terminus of Hargett street.
