There are about 50,000 postoffices
in the United States. Two thousand
two hundred of these are presiden
tial appointments. The others are
indirectly appointed by tbe . Post
master General. Forty-seven post
masters receive one dollar . a year as
salary; eleven receive 'twenty-five
cents a year; one receives 9 cents a
year; one receives 6 cents, and one
5 cents a year, i'ostmaster blaane,
of Perilla, White county, Tennessee,
is the 5 cent man. aa enjoys the

Tbere'are about 6,500,000 acres of
improved land in North Carolina and
16,000,000 of unimproved tand. We
make 450.000 bales of cotton, 30,-
000,000 bushels of corn, 30,000,009
poujids of tobacco and export rice,
wheat, oats, gronud peas,-etc., do

It ih estimated that in fifteen coun
ties alone there are now standing five
billions of feet of long leaf pine.'
When our debt is all arranged it
will amount to less than $3,600,000,
bearing 4 per cent interest. There
is besides a debt of about $z,75U,vuu,
bearing 6 per cent, interest the in
terest of which will be met by.divi'
dends from the North Carolina Rail
road. '
' The assessment of property m the
State in 1873 was $125,000,000; in
1878 it was $142,000,000; in 1882 it
was $168,000,000. The valuation in
1883 shows an increase of nearly 20
per cent It will reach nearly $iJ00

The 1 curse of slavery was here.
God passed a rod across the land and
smote
the people. Then; in His I
goodness and mercy He waved the
wand of enchantment, and lo ! like a
flower, His blessings burst forth.
Applau8& Indeed may the South
say, as in the experience of men, it is
rare for any to say with perfect sin
cerity, "Sweet are the uses of ad vfr
sity." Applause. The South nev
er knew !
w kdbw 1 wum uaepenaence meant
antil she was taught by subjection to
subdue herself, vv e lived from hand
to mouth, we had our debts and our
"niggers." Under the old system we
paid our debts and , walloped our
"niggers, but under the new we pay
our "niggers and wallop our debts.
Laughter and applause. ! We have
no longer any slaves, but we have no
longer any debts, and can exclaim
with the old durkey at camp-meeting
who whenever he got happy, went
about shouting, '-Bless the Lord, I'm
gittin falter." Laughter. The truth
is that behind the great 1 ruffle the
South wore to its shirt, ; there lay
concealed a superb manhood That
this manhood was perverted there is I
no oouDt; mat it wasted its energies
upon trifles is beyond dispute; that it
took a pride in cultivating what is
called -"the vices of a gentleman" I
am afraid must be admitted. But at
heart it was sound. From that heart
flowed honest Anglo-Sax6n blood,
and when it had to lav aside its
broadcloth and put on its jeans, it
was equal to the emergency, (great
applause) and the women of the
South took their place by the side of
the men of the South, and with the
spinning wheel and ploughshare to
gether they made a stand against the
wolf at the door. That was fifteen
years ago, and to-day there is not a
reward offered in a single Southern
State for wolfskins. The fact is, the
very; WolV bay' -4ge -e)med of
thmeelves"and Lave gone to work.
Laughter and applause. i
The future of the South is not a
whit less assured than the future of
the West. Why should money which
is freely loaned to Iowa and Illinois
be refused to Alabama and Missis
BippiT ion have money to loan.
We have a great country to develop.
I know that capital ' is proverbial! y
timid, but what are you afraid of ?
Is it our cotton that, alarms you, or
our corn, or our sugar! jPerhaps it!
is our coal and iron. Without you,
in truth, many of these products
must make slow progress, ! while oth
ers will continue to be hidden in the
bowels of the earth. With you the
South will bloom as a garden and
sparkle as a gold mine; for whether
you tickle her fertile fields with a
straw or apply a. more violent tittilla-
tion to her fat mountain sides she is
ready to laugh a harvest of untold
riches. Applause. -
Sunday in Parii.
In Pari i I was awakened on Sab
bath morning by a roar and and rush
On the street below. Looking from
my window I saw1 long strings of
carts loaded with debris from a build
ing which- workmen were! busily de
molishing. Going on the street I
found it crowded with vehicles and a
multitude of people, some hurrying
to their places of business,' others
going forth to make the day's par
chases, while others in gay attire are
hastening to the railway station for a
day's pleasure in the suburbs of the
city. ; Later on, when I again went
fotth,' the places of trade were open
and business going on with its accus
tomed Regularity. Restaurants and
cafes were thronged with people eat
ing and drinking, while 'the chuxches
were the most neglected-lookiug in
stitutions in all the city. Only a few
worshipers were seen io enter, though
the streets were ' filled; with people.
In the Tulleries Gar.'ens temporary
structures . were erected. io which a
grand fete was given for the Iviufit
of the poor of iraria, and at nignt was
fire-works in abundance, y V nat
grieved me most was to see tb work
men of Pans toiling at their tanks
the lifelong day. They looked tired,

Charlotte Joiirnal-Observer : Pony
Horn, the Indiau who I was arrested
lor being drunk ' last jSaturday, did
not have enough change to pay up
hi fine and was sent to the rock pile
to 'work it out. He has since been
hammering rock like a good Indian.
Yesterday a telegrani was received
from Rock Hill, S. 0., by Chief of
Police Harrison inquiring about Pony
Horn. It seems our Captured savage
is one of a tribe of Catawba Indians,
located at Rock HilL S. G, and the
loneliness about his wigwam becom

in good hands here in Charlotte, and
