Oppkkssive Taxes. Every farmer
ought to read the extracts from Sen
ator Vance's speech, published on our
editorial page, aiid he will see what
oppressive taxes an unjust t'trilV
forces him to pay to the federal gov
ernment. Bivins' Bony Forx:. W. learn
that the body of the yen g man.
named Bivins. has been found near
tho place where he drowned himself.
He is the man mentioned in last
week's Hkcoiui who committed suicide

CiiKtTfNn thk L mn. When you
have a punched coin don't try to cheat
the Lord by putting if in the plate
when tin- collection i.s taken at. your
church: and yet this is just what is
dime nearly every Sunday by soui" of
our Christians! ?). who think they are
doing a very shrewd thing.
A S.vrt(?) Mohtiiiui:. A commission
merchant in Raleigh told us sonr
days ago that a countryman ('out he
was not from Chatham) recently want
ed to buy a box of meat, from him,
and offered, as a certain security for
its payment, to give a mortgage on
the meat ! There was no sale.
Twin Cai.vks. A cow belonging to
Mr. John D. Moore, of this comity,
recently gave birth to twin calves,
whose bodies were joined together
somewhat like the late celebrated
Siamese twins. They ought fo be
sent to Rarnum and exhibited with
Jim Gilbert, the great Chatham giant.
Heavy Cobs. Mr. Nasa J. Neal re
cently sent a bushel of corn to the
mill of Rev. J. W. Hatch, and the
meal, after taking out tho toll, weigh
ed lifty six pounds. When it is known
that a bushel of meal usually weighs
only forty six pounds the extra pial
ity of Mr. Neal'scorn can be the better
appreciated.
Pi:oi.irn: Oo'.in. Dr. .1. B. Barns
informs us (hat, notwithstanding the
protracted drought, last, year, there
were nine well developed ears of corn
on one stalk of his "White Prolific",
which he advertises for sale as being
the best seed corn that can be bought,
in the comity. In a favorable season
there are frequently found stalks with
eleven ears.
An Oi.iNkuiioDku. An old negro,
named Peinpsy Hiughton, died in
this county, a few days ago, who was
ninety-five years old. About one year
ago ho was stricken with paralysis,
but up to that time ho was remarkably
well preserved and did more work
than many men a generation younger.
A few rears ago the old man turned
young again" and married epiite a
young wife.
Chatham From. Our farmrrs w ill
persist in hauling then flour to Raleigh
over roads that are almost impassable,
passing through this place, and get
no higher price for it there than is
offered here. Formerly hundreds of
barrels of our flour were sold every
year in Raleigh and at good prices,
but now Northern ami Western flour
in brought there and sold cheaper
than our farmers can afford torfiell.
A "Tan'xkw:i" Cat.- A few days
iter Christmas Mr. J.' K. Moore moved
from his late residence on Rocky
river, and, when tho house was shut
up, a cat was unintentionally left in it.
Last week Mr. H. L. Burns, who has
rented the place, opened tho house
and found the cat in it still alive, b it
almost reduced to a skeleton, not
having eaten aiy thing f ir at least
forty days, thus equalling Dr. Tanner's
celebrated fast.
I Lest. Yesterday wa A-h Wed
I nesday. the first day of Lent, which
is a period of forty days of fa-ting
and prayer, that, has been obsi rved
for many centuries by tho majority
of professing Christians in coinmem
oration of Christ's forty days' fast in
the wilderness. The season of Lent
closes the day before Master, which
this year will be on the tub. of April.
Pi.Es.sr Wr.ATm:!i. The d-light-.
ful weather, with which we have been
' favnrod for tho past few days, is in
deed refreshing, and is in striking
contrast with thai which wo have
hitherto had since Christinas. The
farmers can at last begin to break up
their ground, the roads are drying so
as to be somewhat passable, house
keepers are preparing their gardens,
and it really begins to look liko winter
had passed.
A Krnnr.N Ib-:.iT;t. We regret to
hear that Mr. William .Martin, a re
spected cilieii of Hadlcy township,
died very suddenly on the lalh iust.
He was at work that day in his "new
grounds" apparently in his usual good
health, but soon returned to his house
faying that he felt a pain in his chest,
and asked for the bottle of camphor,
which was handed to him. but before
ho could use it he suddenly fell, and
expired in u few moments.
Maiisthtk's Coi'kt. On last Mon
day Justices Carter and Lineberry,
of Albright township, held the larg
'est MagisTrt e's com- tin' has pro
bably ever been leld in Cha'haiu.
Fourteen ivspec'ahlc young inci
were tried for forcible trespass, and
r is said tha nearly the whole town
ship and surrounding conn ry at
tended the trial, tie crowd being
nearly as large as usually a tends our
superior court. One of t l.e prisoners
atiemp ed to escape and ran iu'o
Dixon's mill pond wais' deep before
l.e was rc-capturcd. The di-feii dans
were lined f'2 apiece and costs.
Yi-xiow Rviniii' Skin.--We are in
informed by Mr. C. C. Cln-i k. of Mat
thews township, who is an extensive
dealer in furs, that he has a rabbit skin
that is yellow a mo.d unusual color
for rabbits. The rabbit was caught
near the same placo where the "crow
ing robin" was found last year Mr.
Cheek promises to stuff this curious
skin and send it to the Ibioim oiace.
If nil the Chatham curiosities, that
are mentioned in the llivuiin, were'
collected together 1 (icy would make
ipiito an interesting museum. Sup
pose some of our enterprising cit iciis
go into the "show" business, forming
a co-partnership w it h "Abeokuta" ?
"Willi T (Y.op PltoSl-ecT. Tho good
old Dutch farmers in the Piedmont
portion of this Slate believe that the
weather on Ash Wednesday indicates
what the crop will be dining the
coming season. If that day is bright
and pleasant the wheat crop will he
abundant, but. if inclement, the eivp
w ill tiot be goo I. As yesterday ( A -li
Wednesday) was such a delightful
day we hope I he old Dutch prediction
w ill be verified this year, and there i-,
every indication that it will be. for
from every section we hear the most
encouraging reports as to the condi
tion of the growing crop. Certainly '
there never was a year when an abun
dant crop was III. .re l.ecded.
That S'20 Put;:. --We recently pu' -lished
the advertisement of the Rut -ledge
Publishing Company offering a
prize of 2:) to the person sending
them the shortest verse in the Old
Testament, the sender to inclose 20
cents. Ono of our townsmen thought
he would m i'ie tiii.-. I. and so In
sent his -Jll cents and the f Mowing
verse. "Kbcr. Peleg, line," being t he
2"ith verse of tho 1st, chapter of First
Chronicles. In their .March Monthly
the Company suv that this is the cor
rect verse, but that as so many per
sons sent it they divided the ?2II
among twenty of them, thus having
the others sadder if not wiser among
them being our townsman, who will
not bo "taken in" again soon.
Thk Stock Law. At tho annual
meeting of the "Pioneer Stock Law
Association of Chatham county" held
.it Ryu uui's mill, on Lint .Saturday, the'
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year. vi. II. C. llortoii. pres
ident : T. 15. Fai rar. vice president ;
L. B. B'. nam. secretary and treasurer,
and J. 1$. West, . J) Powell. C W.
livnum. II Pope and li. L. Sutphen,
executive committee. Wo gave an
account of the rguui.ati.ui of this
association three years ago. its pur
pose bci'ig the establishment of the
neighborhood no fence law. ami wo
nre pleased to learn that its opera
tions have been so satisfactory. No!
only are the persons pleased who live
within the territory embraced in the
limits of the association, bat many
who live out. side have become so
pleased with the experience of their
neighbors that they petitioned to join
the association and wi re admitted at
the late meeting. So that in Chatham,
as is tho case wherever the no fence
law is tried, its practical workings
have been advantageous, and it is
growing in popular favor.
The "Dahomey Giant."
Some we, lis ago we mentioned that
Jim Gilbert, our Chatham giant, was
being exhibited at. tho North. For
the information of his old frien Is in
Chatham we publish the following,
which appeared in tho New York
Herald of the liith iust :
"Stripped of his gorgeous trappings
and warclub Abeokuta. the "Dahomey
giant," and hero of a thousand muse-,
urns, more or less, was arraigned in ;
tho Kssex Matket Police Court yes
terday, on a charge preferred by Min
nie Doeiuberger. a lil'leen-ve.ir old
miss, of No. MS Forsyth street.
Abeokatii is eight feet and one inch
in height. During January he exhib
its his colossal propoi t ions in a place
on thy Br.vcrv, near Houston street.
On the last day of that, mouth little
.Minnie says sin- at tended the museum
in company with another girl. They
hailed opposite the giant from Da
homey and it. was not long hclore
Abeokuta noticed Minnie's curious
gaze. He took advantage of a mo
mentary lull in tho ipiestions of visit
oi s to hand her a slip of paper on
which was written a request to meet,
him that night at half past ten o'clock.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
girl went to tho museum and a few
moments later was walking with tho
Dahomey gi.mt to his homo at No.
iiX Carmine street. On the way she
:iod her swart by .admirer that it was
her ambition to go on thostagj as an
act res. Abeokuta said he could not
get tier on the stage buthe thought
lie could get her n position as uu
"Albino" in the museum. She. could
' get her hair fixed so that it would
i stand on end and then the Museum
lecturer would tell tho good people
from tho rural districts how she was
cruelly torn from her home in Circas
sia and she could sell her photographs
at ten cents apiece. When they ar
rived at the giant's house he induced
her to drink intoxicating lf'pior until
she became stupid. Then he urged
her to go with him to a house on
F.li.abeth street, and what with liquor
and the prospect of "Circassian" fame
the girl consenttd. A few days ago
. Minnie's parents learned of he'r esc.i
p.ide and applied for a warrant in the
Fssex .Market Police Court. Yester
day Policeman Simmons, of the Court
Squad, arrested Abeokuta in a Brook
lyn Museum, where he was exhibiting
himsi If.
In Court the prisoner said that his
right name was James Gilbert and
that Abeokuta was assumed for effect.
He admitted that he had never been
in Dahomey in his life and never
wanted tube. He was born in North
Carolina and was, by profession, a Da
homey giant. The giawt looked very
meek in court, an 1 when Justice
White discharged him for want of
evidence he gathered up a wildcrue- s
of legs and strode out in a lively man
ner. Since bis arrest he has had to
double himself up like a jacklviiifo in
order to sleep in his cell."
This is not the first time that "Alien
kuta" has doubled himself up in a
cell, for he was confined a few years
ago in our county jail, and then sent
to the penitentiary for larceny.

F.ni roit lii:co!;ii : I en joyed reading
liie lellel'aof "Democrat" aud "W ood
slock'' ill last week's Ki:col;l. Tim
letter of "1 eiuocrat" was a sensible
one and to t be point : it is to be hoped
that the democratic party will never
undo the most sensible thing they
cvr did in the State of North Caro
lina, i. : the election of magistrates
by the Legislature. Fvcr since the
above law was passed things have
moved on in Johnston comity with
remarkable, harmony nud good feel
ing; the county has been redeemed
from debt v01'dt' were (ben only
worth Ti'l cents in the dollar) and she
has now more than $10.01)11 in her
t.-i as'.ii v and everybody seems to be.
well sati-slied. except a few lending
radicals and sorehead democrats.
But in spile of all this the democratic
party is becoming (or rather some of
its honored leaders) like the Indian's
tree on the negro question, "so
straight that it leans the other way."
If our legislators and otlicers geii'-r
ally are trying to please the ladical
party and are catering to their wishes
instead of tin ir constituency they d"
s. rve to be defeated and should be
set aside by the party. If the piinci
p! , s of the democratic parly arc right
let us maintain them, and if right yes
terday are they not right to day .' Let
ii-, look back in the pisl : we find that
for an unbroken period of more than
sitv ears the democracy stood nt
the helm of this great govcliniti lit
ai.d in it her friend or foe can point
the linger i.f scorn and say that tlie
party was profligate or corrupt in its
administrations. But what can In
said of the party that has held rfsway
for the past, twenty years? Ibeiy
year has brought to light the most
extreme profligacy and wanton cor
rupt ion until our eyes turn away from
th" picture with loathing and disgust.
Again 1 say if the principles of the
democratic party are based upon
ti;i Til and l'.iiiirr, whether we ate the
favored ones or not, for our po.-jteri
ty's sake, let us be true to them.
1 regret that. I cannot write the
people of Chatham encouraging news
with reference to tho Midland rail
road. Just when the long talked of
North Carolina system was assuming
practical shape it was discovered Unit
there was a "dog in the manger."
The prospects now are that Virginia
and the South will continue to .-tciid
their lines info the Slate until Vance's
nre lictiou will he fully verified.
The trailing, hrid'os. etc.. of fhn
Midland are about, comnleti'.l to this
place, and the iron will be laid as
soon as we are blessed with a little
siiii-hine. A survey from Wilson, N.
C , via. our (own aiid Fayeltevilh. to
