The life-tidi is ebbing

How the stream quickens
As noon draws near!
No room for loittrers,
No time for fuar.

Earth smiles as well;

With sweet, warm smell;

Thrilling witl. glee.

On azuro mountain.

Goes the good rain cloud !
Comes the good sun!
Only babes whimper,
And sick men wail
And faint hearts, and feeble hearts,
And weekling fail.

Kaleigh Cronide. '
Mr. W. J. Peele, who Lm.-' benntm I
talking with tho people ot' Pennsyl
vania, returns prouder than ever of
his own State. He is thoroughly
convinced that farming pays better i
than in Pensylvania to the capi
tol invested, and says that if our
soil was cultivated with the same de-!
gree of intelligence and industry, it
would pay vastly better than it does.
He visited some of the fai'-est por
tions of the Key Stone State, and
even there, according to the testimo
ny of the citizens, three and four per
ce.it. oa the capitol invested was the
average, l and is from five to ten
times higher in Pennsylvania than in
North Carolina, but it is nothing
like five or ten times as productive
especially where our land is a little
improved. They cunuot grow one
half the variety that we can. Corn,
wheat, oats, Irish potatoes, and in
some sections a heavy tobacco are
their principal crops. The tobacco
they raise there they have to hurry
forward with very high manuring,
or the frosts will catch it in Septem
ber. He said, however, that they
sometimes made two and even five
hundred dollars a few jears ago on
a single acre; but this was in South
ern Pennsylvania, and was confined
to a small section, and was on land
worth even more than two and five
hundred dollars per acre. Of course
no other crop, except perhaps vege
tables near the large cities, ap
proached in value the tobacco crop.
Mr. Peele passed by the poor
house farm of 200 acres, in Cumber
land county, and asked the value.
They told him $30,000. "What per
cent. Will its products pay'" "About
three or four," they said. "Is there
much land around here valued like
that?" "Plenty of it."
They fertilize laud up there with
green grass and lime. He said, "I
never saw a one-horse plow while I
was in the State frequently saw
, j, 4-4ii. i
two and sometimes three, horses to
the plow."
The people are not yet very well
informed about us and our State.
They know rcuch more about the
West, where so many of their friends
and relatives have already gone.
The West has also been making
great efforts to induce immigration
for a very long time, while we have
only just commenced. In ten years,
if not in five, immigrants, as many
as we want, will be coming this way if
we keep up our advertising, and even
what we have already done will bring
hundreds 10 our State.
The best way to advertise and to
induce imigrants too js to get cheap
rates ratea that wilt compete with
the great West. If the State has
anv more ntoney to spend in this
direction this ought to be the way !
it should go. If the tide once sets ;
this way it will continue, and will
rapidly increase the value of our
lands. These people , are too thick
ly settled where they are, and they
are certainly goin
somewhere.
That somewhere will be the place
that offers the most inducements.
(Their attention has already been
arrested by our various Expositions
and exhibits." They have begun to
study us and our resources, as every
one will be very soon convinced who
mingles with them. If they find us
what we say we are, they are coming.
Speaking of the best way for
North Carolina who have land to
sell to advertise them, Mr. Peele
said, "I saw one Carolinian an old
man walkig, about the fair grounds
at "Willaims Grove, Pa., carrying his
advertisement on his shoulder on a
long pole; it read thus: '20 farms for
sale in North Carolina; 100 acres
each, at $1,000 a farm.' This man
said he talked with 5,000 people,
and that many were coming to see
his farms. He said he diu't feel quite
at home totingthat pole, but that
he was 'laud poor,' with 3,000 acres
and must do something. He will
sell his land, and so will anyone
else who will do likewise."
Speaking of the best methods of
advetising the State, Mr. Peele said:
"It is to employ intelligent North
Carolinians to go and lecture
throughout the small towns and villa
ges of the North on the products, the
people and the resources of North
Carolina. I asked often about this
and was told uniformly that the
people, especially the farmers, would
be glad to listen, and preferred this
method of gaining intelligence, us
they do here.

who were charged with drumming
Without the necessary license. The
case did not to go the jury, but was
decided by tne court, in me opinion
of the court the law upon which the
action was based is unconstitutional,
inasmuch as it discriminates between
drummers from other Mates doing
business here and those who are res
idents here. A drummer from an
other State is required by the law to
pay a State tax. A resident drum
mers' tax is also required, but sec
tion 25, of chapter 175, of the laws
of 18S5, gives a rebate to the resi
dent drummer of the amount of his
purchase tax for the same time,
which is discriminative against the
non-resident drummer und makes
the law unconstitutional. The su
preme court of the United States has
decided that no State can impose a
tax upon a non-resident drummer
which it does not impose upon the
drummers of its own State. In con
sequence of this decision, which af
fects the entire State, a nol pros,

AX OTHER EXAM IX A TIOX.
Oharlotte Observer
Capt. Jl. P. Graham, of the United
States Civil Service Commission in
forms us that on Tuesday Oct. G, a
special examination will be held at
Charlotte, N. C, and other points,
open to such persons as shall have
filed regular application papers for
positions as experts in the Pension
Office. These embrace two classes :
1st. Examiners Whose duties are
to instruct claimants as to the evi
dence necessary to establish claims,
to brief and prepare cases for final
consideration, and to make special
examinations in the field, w hen de
tailed for that purpose.
2d. Medical Reviewers Who are
required to be physicians of skill and
experience ; whose clutv it is to ae-
v ' - ....

termine meaicai questions, inciuamg

ants, as the basis cf the rate 'of pen-
sion.
There are four grades of exam
iners ; but appointments for service
in the office at Washington are usu
ally made to the lowest grade, salary
$1,200, and examinations of appli
cants for examiners will include
1st. Orthography, penmanship and
letter writing.
2d. Arithmetic, to include frac-
tio interest and discount.
j 3d. Geography and history of the
t United States.

The examination of applicants lot
. , . ,. f . 1
appointment as medical reviewer
will include the first four branches
mentioned under head of examiners
with an examination in medicine and
surgery, including medical jurispru
dence and hygiene.
Applications for examination for
the above named positions must
made upon the special application
blank, which, together with the Civil
Service Kules, will be furnished upon
request made to the Commission.
The applicant whose application
is in proper form will be notified of
the first convenient examination to
be held thereafter of the class mo
which admission is desired. The
examination will be competative, ex
cept when otherwise ordered by the
Civil Service Commission.
Special examiners whose duty it
is to investigate cases in the field ara
detailed by the Commissioner of
Pensions from examiners of txpeii
ence in the office. Their ray is
$1,400 per annum and traveling ex
penses. For this special corps ajv
plicauts who at tain ft general average
of 50 out of a possible 100 are eligi
ble for appointment. The pay of
Medical lleviewers is 1,800 per an
num. An excessive number has al
ready applied for the legal pint of
this examination, but the medical
profession is not so well represented.
Capt. Graham saj-s that the Old
North State has already furnished
some of the very best inuteritd on
the eligible registers, but as his let
ter to Congressman Johnston shows,
the Commission can only afford the
applicants an opportunity to sh$w
their attainments, and leave their s-

Of course not. They would not
make music for the children, and the

A Boston dispatch says : From all
over New England there come re
ports of a great revival in manu
facturing industries. In Maine sev
eral new shoe factories are being
constructed, and the cotton mills are
running on larger orders. The lum
bering interest promises to be larger
than usual this winter. Some new-
pulp and paper mills are being con
structed, and work has been resumed
in some small 'points' and iron mines.
Manchester, New Hamshire, shows
great improvement. The Amoskeag
corporation has just given out a con
tract for a large new mill. The
hosiery and cotton mills and car
works of Lecoria and Lake Village
report heavy orders. In Massachu
setts there is a general revival in the
shoe factories of Lynn and Haver
hill. There has been an increased
demand for help at higher wages.
Bracton and Holyoke ar e growing
rapidly. In Lawrence the old Wash
ington mills are to start with three
hundred hands, and the Atlantic
mills are running on fall time witb a
full force. The large cutlery works
at Shelburn Falls will resume soon
on full time. North Adams, Spring

THE FRAUDS IN INDIANA.
The story of the Township Trus
tee frauds in Indiana, the whole of
which is not yet told, shows that in
some of the counties of that State
the moral seuse is a plant that is dy
ing for lack of cultivation. In these
days, w hen fraud and embezzlement
are generally discovered without
much delaj-, and the news is prompt

and press, there is nothing surpris

there has been false to his
trust,

State, made known on the same day,

serious matter. It is shown, within
two or three days of the original dis

twenty-five counties in Indiana in
which Trustctshave issued fraudulent

been secured. Itone thus the sum
was estimated at 750,000.
A These Township Traslees were
picked men. In some respects their
positions and duties resembled those
of the Selectmen in New England.
They were required to take charge
of educational affairs in their respect

regarded in their townships as leswl

"INNOCENT IN ITSELF."
Presbyterian Banner.
How often is this remark made
whenever the question of doubtful
popular amusements is being dis
cussed! Dancing, testing the speed
of blooded stock, boat racing as 01-
dinarrily practised, craines at bil-
liards and cards, these, and numer
ous other amusements, are some
times justified on such grounds alone
II it be urged that, under the cir
cumstances, these things are iuex
pedient, and ought to be avoided,
the reply is, "Oh, these are innocent
in themselves."
The eixor lies in assuming that cer
tain actions and words may stand
alone, and separated from all others,
may have nothing to do in molding
character. But can we conceive of
such insulation? Every moment our
influnece touches other souls. What
ever may be the cause or even the
occasion of evil, is to be carefully
avoided. There is no law more
plainly written than this.
Personal influence, rightly con
sidered, has no place for the doctrine,
"This is innocent in itself." Life is
profoundly 'serious, because each
part holds a necessary relation to
every other part. In all our esti
mates of the guilt or innocence of
human action, this view ought to be
ever present with us.
"That Terrible Man" is the title
of a cuiyent story. We all know him.
He is the father of the boy with a

back upon all these years with no
