Waxhaw is a historic locality, ly ing in the north-western part of Lan caster County, South Carolina, and ! the south-western part o f Union County, North Carolina. But gen-' erally speaking, the portion embraced within South Carolina is known as Waxhaw, and that in North Carolina, as Jacksonbam. In extent, it is fif teen miles long, by fire wide, and elopes gently toward its West border on the Catawba River; while on its Northern and Southern borders lie parallel ridges of high land, sloping towards its center, forming a low btifin, drained by numerous little streams into Waxhaw Creek, which runs from East to West, midway be tween its highlands. All of these streams are aJuggish, and near them a "a -a " man stagnant pools, abounding in miasma, causing the country to be subject to bilious and malarial fevers during the Summer and Autumn. The soil is a dark red tenacious clay and very fertile. Here and there are "mall groves of virgin for est, of a heavy growth of hickory, oak, poplar, and many other kinds of trees, standing as the monuments of a luxuriant forest before it vas.felled by the pioneer' axe. Along its hill sides the bare earth, worn into cul lies or coated with a thin growth of old field pines, rise up in unmistaka ble language, telling of the greed for "filthy lucre" in the days of slavery ; and verifying the adage, -"Let him who lives longest or latest carry wa ter and wood farthest." The present inhabitants number eight negroes to one white. It is said, that every fifteen years a new set of whites inhabit the country. They will be attracted by its fertile lands and move into it, but after a few years trial, find that the climate doeB not agree with them and leave the country to be filled up with oth ers, with the same results. The ne groes are not' much affected by tke climate, but the majority of them are thriftless, and with the everchanging white settlers, the country is not as prosperous as its fertile lands de mand. This country was embraced in the territory retained by the Indians when they' gave up most of their lands to the wlijte settlers and was occupied by one of the tribes of the Catawbas, known as the Waxhaws. There has been much dispute as to the origin of the name. Some claim it originated from the waxy nature of its Boil; others, from a red waxy haw, tkat grew along its streams, but it is generally conceded that it took its came from the Indians who once occupied it and gave it up for settlement. The remnant of the once powerful Catawbas, occupy a territory, reduced to about one thou sand acres, which lies in York Coun ty, on the Catawba River, about four miles ftrom Waxbaw. Tbey have a chief and number about eighty. They are very indolent, ignorant and uncultured. A few whites of the same caste have intermarried with them and make some pretensions to cultivate their lands. They draw a pension yearly irom tne state ior lands surrendered, which is paid per capita to all belonging "to their nation. Among them, the Mormon El ders find a golden field for operation and occasionally have the pleasure of a convert to their faith who is imme diately baptised in the waters of the beautiful Catawba. Waxhaw is iiyi only celebrated for its historical connection with the In dians and Revolutipi, Jhut has the glortf-a-trij the birth pl'ce of the celebrated Andrew ..Jackson i - - - - - - J This honored spot is often visited by individuals, who carry away with them a hickory walking cane as a memento, and a nnmber of news-paper sanctums, offices of state officials and private residences are graced with them. Tradition says, Jackson's father lies buried in Waxhaw cemetery, which contains graves dating almost two centuries back, marked with head-stones engraved in England and placed there long before the Revolu tion. The death of the senior Jack son occurred in the Winter, and the ground was covered with snow. His friends attended him in his illness, and laid his remains to rest. In the preliminaries . of this, they revived their drooping spirits by indulging freely in the contents of a demijohn. When everything was ready, they harnessed four horses to an old fash ioned sled, placed the coffin and its precious contents uon it, a man mounted each horse and laid whip for the grave yard with no funeral procession following. When the rude hearse drove up, it was discovered, to the dismay of the drivers that the precious freight was missing. Re tracing their steps some distance, they found it, where it had been de posited by the sled's overturning in their hasty funeral march. Replac ing it, with no gentle hands we im agine, it was hastily deposited where it has since rested in an unmarked and forgotten grave. Young Andrew had a meager chance for an education, but he led a free life among the verdant forests, abounding in game, and early learned the use of the rifle. When a lad about fourteen, wLile Cornwallis was pillaging Seuth Carolina, some of his trtops made some depredation on the Jackson homestead, and this in-, trepid youth mounted his horse, fol lowed the depredators, against the entreaties of bis mother and friends, until he came within shooting dis tance, fired into them and then wheeled his horse and rode exulting ly away, showing the strong spirit, thus early, that manifested itself all along his life. His actions were ad mired by some and censured by oth ers. " Yet, but few Americans bave attained his fame, and had their lives marked with so many interesting in cidents. His brilliant victory at New Orleans over Sir Edward Pak enham, fifteen days after the treaty of Ghent was signed and peace pro claimed, will ever be looked upon as a memorable event in history. There is an interesting story told concerning the body of his distin guished antagonist. The friends of Sir Edward wished to send his body back to England for burial. They enclosed it in a hogshead of and shipped it to f-ome port in ruin, I-1 n rr land, but through pirates or some mismanagement, it never reache.t it destination, and was shipped to Charleston, S. and found its way to a couutr tavern in Chester Coun ty. Tim rum was druuk, and the proprietor found that the hogshead contained something besides rum Taking out oiie of the heads, he dis covered, with horror, thf remains of a human being. Soon a crowd col lected and among it, soldiers who fought under Jackson at New Orleans and had seen Sir Edward Pakenham, and identified tlse body. His remains were buried near the tavern and his grave can be pointed out by a gen tleman living in that community who vouches for the story. Jackson, after filling the highest honors in the gift of his countrymen, retired to his home at the Hermitage in his adopted State, near Nashville, Tenn.,and was deservedly called the "Hero of New Orleans" and the "Sage of tbe Hermitage. Jlis re muins rest at the Hermitage, . where his admirers and the curious often visit to look upon the honored spot. He has been looked upon as one of the strongest willed and most deter- mined men woo nas ever uvea, ooiu by American and Foreigner, as was expressed by the two Irishmen who visited his grave, when one remark ed to the other : "Here lies tbe body of Old Hickory, but where is he ?" The other replied: "Wherever L)e had a mind to go." J. M. Yoder. Waxhaw, S. C. Wives I Mothers I Daughters I BE YOUR OWN PHYSICIAN!

SpeeUUr Keported for the Wllm&tfrtoa Kaaenirrav Tyrrell County Brickbouse vs. Sut ton. (Error). Dower Jurisdiction Processes Evidence. The Superior Court had .juisdic tion in 1869 to assign dower, and the objection in that respect can not be sustained. The statute expressly conferred such jurisdiction upon it. (Acts 1868-'69. chap. 93, 40. Bat Rev., chap. 117, 9. The Cade, 2111. Soon afterwards, as some doubt prevailed as to whether such proceeding should bgin in the Court of Probate or in the .Superior "ourt before the Clerk, the Legislature exacted the statute (Acts 1870-'71. chap. 108, 1, Bat Rev., chap. 17, 425, 42G ) to remedy this defect. and it has ince been repeatedly p held a, valid. 2 That the ascertainment of the fact, and tbe recital of the same in the record by the court, that the defendants in the proceeding naia d had "been served with process and copies of the petition therein was sufficient evidence prima facie that the defendants had been served with record also shows that the court bad jurisdiction of the parties and subject matter. 3. That the statute does not re quire tno snnfJ to attest the "writ of dower" or the report of the jury assigning tbe same; but if it were otherwise the attestation of the report by tbe the deputy would not render the proceeding void it could only ren der it in such respect irregular. Gaston County Traders National Bank vs Woodlawn Manufacturing Company. (Affirmed). Exceptions Corporation. 1. That the exception as to tbe debt due the defendant for nionev oaned not being assigned a place among the old debts, to be paid as much but having its origin in the new obligation created by the execu tion of the last bond and the mort gage given to secure it, was fully settled by tbe ruling on the former appeal, as was also the exception ae to the allowance- of tbe debts due the parties named as constituting a lien a poo the property ef the defen dant 2. That the mortgage deed is the act of the corporation alone dene in pursuance of the statute, Rot- Code, ch. 26, see. 22, and is in no iust legal sense that of the corporation officers and stockholders by whose agency the corporation conveys its real estate it professes on its face to be auch, and made in pursuance of a resolution of the stockholders. But if thesa obstacles to the assertion of the allegsd equity were out of the way the controversy about the dis posal of this fund is not germane to the present action nor is it presented in the appeal. Perquimans County Newby vs.Har- rell. (.No Error.) Judge s Charge Partnership Issues. 1. That tbe court is not required to give instructions, though proper and such as the party is entitled to, n the very terms asued, and if such as are asked for, to which the party is entitled, are embodied substanti ally in the charge as given it is not error. 2. That as a general rule before one partner can sue another partnrr at law, the settlement of the firm must be complete and his right to recover only arises after a settlement of all partnership business. One partner cannot maintain an action against a copartner to recover money when the sum sought to be secured might be placed as an item in the partnership account, but there is an exception when one destroys or wrongfully convert partnership property. 3. That the second issue that the defendants asked to have submitted to tbe jury was not rafted by any controverted facts, and there was no evidence bearing upon the third and they were properly refused. Gates County Jones vs Parkes (No Error) Deed Construction of. 1. That tbe plantiff being in actual posession of the mill under tbe deed when the trees were cut he is the owner and in constructive posession of the mill-pond to high water mark and therefore entitled to recover the reasonable market value of all timber cut by defendants from tbe mill pond below tbe high water mark. 2. That the operative words of the deed are not restricted by the fact that there is a variance in tbeerea of the tract of land this may be ex plained by supposing that the bargainor intended only to apply the words to the'upland and not to the pond. Edgecombe County Pitt Ex'r. xs. Moore. (Error.) Contract Better ments Account Parties 1. That the law requires all eon- tracts to convey land lo'he in writing. Tbe court will not enforce parol agreements for the sale of land, un less in cases where the defendant in his answer submits to perform the parol contract as charged in the complaint "or where he aamiis it and neither by plea nor answer insists on the statute." 2. That when tbe labor or money of a person has been expended in the permanent improvement of the prop erty ol another by a parol contract which can not be enforced because it is not in writing, the party repudiat ing the contract will not be allowed to take and hold the property thus improved and enriched "without "compensation for the additional value which these improvements have con ferred upon the property,"- and it rests uponjlhe broad principle that it is against conscience that one man shall be enriched to the injury and cost of another, induced by his owngactj . 3 That the plantiff is entitled to have an account and to receive .one- balf of the net profits accrued since fondant and bis testator, and one. half of the enhanced value . to the land by reason of the improvements, and this relief is within the scope of the plaintiffs prayer and warranted by his complaint That A. T. Bruce & Co., after the erection of the mill, having become the mortgagees of ti e defendant's, "one-half interest" in the property, and thereby became the legal owners of defendant's interest and they ought to be made parties to this action. Tne Q rman Emperor Dead. Emperor William, of Germany, died cn Friday, March 9th. If he bad lived till the 22 of this month he would have been 91 years old. The following sketch we clip from the r3v York Star: William of Hohenzollern called King of Prussia. Lord of a score of lsser States and Emperor of Ger many passes from a state signalized by the most momentous dramas that have involved the destinies of Europe. His life covers a span greater than ever fall to the lot of a man born in the purple. His infant years saw Prussia broken and almost annexed to the French Empire. His cradle was watched by the eyes of the widow of the great Frederick. His boyhood' was passed ia peril and exile. His yoath was contemporaneous witfe the apogee and downfall of the mighty military empire of Napoleon L As a young dragoon, he was part of the equipage that followed the victorious arms of the Allies to Paris in 1814 and 1815. As brother ot the King, he grew from youth to middle age. As heir presumptive, he com manded tbe Prussian forces that slaughtered tke German revolution ists of 1848 Arrived almost at the patriarch's three score and ten, he succeeded his insane brother to the crown of Prussia in 186.. Fond of the barrack, educated among soldiery, he came to tbe throne a martinet in the camps, a tyro in politics. Hating the people, dateating coastitutiobai- ism, he threw himself into the arms of tbe reactionists; and finding a man to his owa mind, Bismarck, be in tra stad ta him tbe business of stemm ing the rising tide of fioeralism. Elsewhere the principle that the King reigns, but does not govern, bad become monarchial practice; but, setting himself obstinately against the clamors of his people, he upheld his Minister iu disregarding the op position of his Parliament Money and men were denied by the Parlia ment Bismarck turned, contemptu ously, and drew funds oa royal war rants. The little German kings, William's kinsmen, opposed him; Bismarck dethroned them. Austria, the ancient ally of the House of Prussia, complained of high-handed treatment; the King promised redress Bismarck forced war. Napoleon III, held aloof to give William his will and way with Austria, and in re turn requested concession. Bismarck forced war. Napoleon was dethron ed, exiled. William was crowned Emperor of the Germans at Yersail les. It is seventeen yenrs since that grandiose ceremonial dazzled the world and gave the German people promise of unified tranquillity, and to-day the venerable chief of the mil itary empire passes away. Germany is torn by apprehensions of a colossal struggle. The house of Hohenzollern is in gloom. The heir of the throne, the darling of the liberal-minded people, is believed to be on the verge of the grave, and a hot headed youth, known only for his temper, stands ready to seize the scepter wielded for thirty years by Bismarck. W llliam has both reigned and governed through his great Minister, and to day he leaves his work as unsettled, and problematic, as when it was f taken up a quarter of a century sgo. German blood, German treasure, the arts, education, everything that goes to make real national greatness, have been subordinated to the mania af military force, of personal role. To day the person passes away, and the German millions hnd themselves con fronted by all the evils of war and the added distraction of an uncertain regime.

The editor of the Raleigh Chron icle recently addressed letters to several representative men of each county in the State and asked for their preference for Governor. The replies are printed in full and fill about ten colums of that paper. The replies show that no one is con spicuously in the lead of all others, but that the race is virtually between Stedman and Clark as the Enter prise asserted a short timo ago. Following the letters the Chronicle thus recapulates : Our letters were mailed to repe sentative men that is men ef all callings and all conditions in life. Their answers, we think, represent the real sentiment in the State which is : The Democrats are not wedded to any man, and they jre in favor of the man who combines the most ele ments of strength.

The preparations for his arrival were extended and costly. A tabernacle was built for the occasion that cost 12,000. It seats 5,000 people but was far too small. It is said that more than that number of people were turned away on some of the niirhts. In all it is calculated that 250,000 people heard the Gospel from the great revivalist The meet ing was protracted for five weeks. Peotle were so anxious to bear Moody that tbey took Junca with them and held their seats from one service to the next There were 500 picked singers who led the music. Mr. Sankey, with assistants conduct ed the music There hare been mar than 1000 people added to th Lou isville Churches as a result All of the Protestant Churches .were repre sented. Bishop Penick, of th Epis copal Church, attended. Tbe preparations were such as to guarantee a great work of revival. Public expectation was on tip-toe, and the ministers and their helpers were at work in advance of the com ing of Moody. It is interesting to read of the Louisville work and es pecially as Wilmington is preparing for tbe coming of a Southern revival ist who in his chosen field is doing a grand and imperishable work for God and humanity. The pastors and people of Wilmington are hard at work making straight the way for Mr. Pearson, who is to preach hi first rermon on tbe night ef Sanday, the eighteenth ef March. Probably there has never been in this town such a general religious seriousness and activity as pervade most or tne churches. For weeks nightly sen ces have been held and the people are interested and the believers in Jesus are praying for another Pent- sost when a great work of saving shall be perfected. God grant in mercy -that the expectations and hopes and prayers of His people may be more than realized and that it shall be recorded that thousands have been added to the churches! Renews Her Youth. Mrs. Phcebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town : "I am 73 years old, have been troubled with kidney complaint and lameness for many years ; could not dress myself without help. Now I am free from all pain and soreness, and am able to do all my own house work. I owe my thanks to Electric Bitters for having renewed my youth. and removed completely all disease and pain."

There may be those under her sway who are capable ef reach ing a Higher pitch than she, but they must tone themselves as to bar standard, or there will be. if not discord, silent chords and meagre harmony. There may be those under her away who cannot reach as high a pitch as hers, and who must, therefore, be tenderly born with and trained by degrees until they are in union with her. It is much harder for some children than fer others to learn tho lesson of simple, unquestioning, prompt obe dience. Some children seem to have no sense of "mine and thine," and the eighth commandment has very little meaning for them. It is for the mother, first of all, to tone up these children to tho right standard and supplement their moral sense with theories, and es pecially with habits of right ac tion. Just here I am remiaded of a little anecdote I met with many years ago. A lady who had presented each of her house-maids with a pair of her cast off alipppers found on her man tle a slip of paper with these lines inscribed upon it : "How careful ahewM ear aaiatraa Vs Tke Mnaa path to elaaag, Wkem ail tke aaaida witbim bar keasa Are waUriagia bar abees!" Praabytexlana and. tne Revolutlon- arT2Strug-irlo. If. T. Observer. In these "times that tried men's sours," whoever hesitated, or held back, the Presbyterians did not On the 22d of May, 1885, the Synod issued a pastoral .letter to the churches under its care, exhorting them to a united support of the col onial cause. On the 31st of the same month the convention held at Mecklenburg, N. C-, nearly all of whom were Presbyterians, issued! their declaration of independence, j more than a year in advance of that ef the Continental Congress, on tbe 4th of July, 1776. The Presbyte rians were among the first to tak up arms, and the last to lay them down. The ministers stimulated and arous ed their people with all the resources of their eloquence and example. They encouraged enlistments, and many of them joined the army, as officers' or chaplains, and in same in stances as privates, marching and fighting, side by side, with tbe elders and members of their congregations. There is not a single known instance of any Presbyterian minister, or elder, taking sides with the British against the colonies. ' From Wether spoon, a member of the Continental Congress, a signer of the declaration of Independence, and the steadfast friend of Washington, to the hu rubiest elder of the remotest country church, all were loyal and true to the cause of liberty and independence. They were, perhaps, the strongest element arrayed against the British Crown, and many of the loyalist governors and ofheers, in writing home, charge the Presbyterians with being the ringleaders in the revolt, and with being its principal supporters. So common was this impression among the British soldiers, that Presbyte rian churches and manses were seized the same as forts and arsenals. Some were turned into hospitals, some into horse stables, and many more burned to the ground. The names of nearly all the early ministers of North Carolina were il lustrious in church and Stte. Craig head, Alexander, Latta, Duffield, Caldwell, Robinson, Pattilio, Tennent Campbell, Bingham, McCorkle and a host of others, were tho founders of North Carolina's churches, schools and civil institutions. Hugh Mac- Aden and James Campbell were the pioneers in Eastern North Carolina.
