He says : "The coal and iron in the South are easily gotten at and inexhaustible in the J.iPi. an ' . amounted the iron mills, the f oun- ries and , machine shops can go to them better than they can be carried to the shops.

This of itself is no small matter." Bloody Work. At Statesville, Sells' circus drew a vast cro-vd, and several fights.

When a Northern lady tells one of our ladies that she does all her own work, the question comes quickly : "Why how can you have strength to get wood, water, milk, etc., without a servant?"1 To which the Northern housewife answers : "Ob, you know we have an easy pump right at the door: we have a milk-trough right below the pump; and as for wood, it is cut and stored under the shed, not ten feet from the stove.'1 And then the Southern-farmer's wife sighs. to think of the inconveniences which take her time, and sap her strength, I and make her look old at thirty. Postmasters. New Berne Journal. 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 distinction of receiving the smallest sa'ary of any of Uncle Sam's civil servants. There is some difference between President Arthur's $50,000 and Postmaster Sloane's five cents In all we pay the postmasters about ten millions a year, of this three mil lion seven hundred and fifty thousand go to the presidential postmasters, EigFigurst The Raleigh "Visitor" says there is a county in this State whose entire real and personal property is return ed for taxation at $539,000, and we have it from good authority tha five million dollars in cash or nearly ten times the listed value of all tbe prop erty in tbe -county has been offered for a single piece of land in said coun? ty. .9 The Cberlottt "Observer says the biggest mortgage evr recorded iu th court house in that citv was yes terday recorded by Esquire Maxwell, tbe Register of Deeds.1 It was a mortgage deed for $2,500,000, given by tl.e Southern Telegraph Company to be .Farmers Loan & Trut Com panv, ol Wew xorK. j North Carolina Motes.

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 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, sp much in need of rest on that day of which it had been said of old by the good Father of o all 'in it thou shalt not do any w ork," Rev.

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.
