NOBFLEET, : i : A WIFFSJ)EV0TI0N. Several years ago, when Judge S- then .of ! the Superior conrt, was holding hi court at Forsyth. Monroe county, Ga two brothers, residents of Gwinnett county, were brought before him charged with horse-stealing. : The case against the men waa plain In deed. Theoldmanirom wljomthe horse was stolen and his wife and daughter were introduced, and each in turn on the stand swore strong and strikingly alike as to the theft, the Identity of the horse and both men. Absolutely nothing In rebuttal could be produced by the counsel for the defense, except the testimony of a woman, the young wife of one of the prisoners, and the daughter of th oV nun f--aifi whom, the horse was stolen. iHer stor?," asVold by the attorney, wa.t so arrange and un reasonable that he begged she would not go to the stand with it, fearing its effect upon both . judge and - jury. To the pleading of the lawyer she turned a deaf ear, and rising without being bid, said aloud: "My innocent husband's liberty is at stake. I must, I will speak for him.' Judge S , who up to this time had not noticed the woman, now owing to the manner of speech and seemingly intense sympathy and love for her husband, called her to the stand, ruling that "aha could testify in behalf of her hnsband's brother, and make a statement for the husband. " The bible was handed her, and she kissed it with a smack that might have been heard a. block away. Then tremblingly removing from her head its old shaker .covering, and very carefully unwinding a much-worn and 'tattered Gwinnett red shawl which she held in her arms, she ex posed to the view of a. greatly surprised audience a two-months' fold baby boy, who was hid away somewhere in the folds of that huge shawl. The unwinding process completed, she hurriedly deposited both baby and covering in a heap on the table in front of her, and with a degree of determi nation in her face expressed only in the lines of Shakespere, "I shall remember when Cifsar says do this, it is performed, ' she fronted the jury.. Said she ; "I have sworn to tell, the truth. I understand fully the enormity and meanness of a lie. I am a God-fearing woman, and I. believe every word in tliat good book there on the table, and if what I tell you now about this case be not rue may God in his wrath (his moment strike me dumb ere I Attorney -at-Law. f TARBORO, !- ! -I.

He and my mother had al ways been very hard with Tom (my hus band) and I, but Tom nam. persuaded ma to go, saying it was my father who was sick, and it was my duty to go to him. : I went and remained two months or more. Tne guinaers gov among ine stock in tne neighborhood, and after awhile a colt be longing to my father caught the disease. A consultation of the family was held, and it was finally decided to kill the colt. hoping thereby to prevent the remainder of the horses on the farm from catching it. -'I pleaded for the colt's life, and told my father to put it by itself, away from the other horses, and I - would feed and try to cure it. He did as I asked, and I fK. L N. CASK, . i - . I nursed the colt back to haalth.

Here tne matter . rested, and I thought no more of it until two weeks ago. when I received a letter from my fatlier, stating that the cold was ready to work, but my mother and sister were un willing for me to have it.

Mrs. Frank Chanf rau haa gone abroad with her Youngest son and her sister Mary Baker, to visit Mary Anderson in London, and dispose of a melodrama by her late husband.

" Is this the lovely creature you have been raving about?" "The acting though was fine," said Mrs. Chanfrau, ' And I was eager to see her off the stage. - I went to her hotel the next morning, and when she came forward to meet me t was . amazed and could scarcely believe it was the same girl I had seen the night before. I could not resist asxmg her wno Had taught her to ' make up ' her face, and she said ' no body, but that she had seen Edwin Booth make up once for Pescara' (a heavy vil lain), and she bad imitated him in mak ing up for Julia.' " Tbe result, however, was that Mrs. Chanfrau made an engage ment with Miss Anderson on condition that she sheuld dress her and "make up" her face for each performance.' Miss An derson consented, and when she appeared at. me varieties sne tooKea so dirterent and so lovely that the audience did not recognize her on her first entry. "When they did the expressions of admiration of her beauty were tempestuous.' Mrs. Cbanlran's conduct toward a sister artist in this matter was so handsome that all New Orleans rose, no and acknowl edged it. A benefit waa given her on the ground of her kindness to a sister and a Southern actress, and thev New Orleans Club took nearly every seat in the house.: Towards the close of tbe performance an unusual compliment was paid her. The New Orleans Club, by an , arrangement with the business manager. Clifton W. Taylenre, had the "snow boxes" in the flies fulled with rose leaves, and as Mrs. Chanf rau stood in the centre of the stage bowing her thanks the boxes were turned and a shower of rose leaves fell about her until she stood ankle -deep in them. - The effect from the front of the house win said to have been lovely. . " We gathered up three bushels of leaves from the stage,". she added, after telling the story.

Training a Trotting florae by Swlin- nilng. Gen. John Turner, the horse trainer and driver, told a curious story to Robert Bonner, owner of Dexter, Maud S. and other famous trotters. " When I was a boy," said the General? " 1200; looked as big as a m mien, and I bad a horse match ed against a pacer to go a single mile for $250 a side. In training him I discovered thatthrough excess of action he hit his arms. 1 was in despair, when I was ad vised to try and put htm into condition by swimming. Like a drowning man, 1 grasped at a straw. The river ran near my door. I hired a man to row me in a boat, while I sat in the stern and held the hal ter. We started up stream, and the horse swam beautifully. On the return he struck out eagerly, and actually towed the boat. I kept this up for ten davs.and I never brought a horse to the post in bet ter condition. The violent action in the water had given pliancy and firmness to his muscles and niade his wind as clear as tbe ring of a bell. I won the race, easily, but it is lucky that it was. a single dash, because through his faulty action he cut his arms into ribbons." ASHES FRQX THE TESTA!

When a tree or a bundle of wheat or barley straw is burned, a certain amount oi mineral msvier renuuus u me ashes extremely small in comparison with the bulk of the tree or of tbe straw, but absolutely essential to its growth. In a soil lacking or exhausted of the neces sfljy mineral constituents, the tree cannot live, the crop cannot grow. Now, contagia are living things, which demand .certain elements of' fife just- as inexorably as trees or wheat or barley: and it is not dif ficult to see that a crop of a given parasite may so far use up a constituent existing in small quantities in the body, buteaten tial to the growth of the parasite, as to render the body unfit for the production of a second crop. The soil is exhausted, and nntil the lost constituent is restored the body is protected from any further attack. ot the same disorder. tucn an explana tion ot non-recurrent diseases- naturaiir ptesents itself to & thorough believer it the germ theory, and such was tbe soli tion which, in reply to a question, I vei tared to offer nearly fifteen years ago an eminent Lxmdon physician.

If likely to get too dry, wet it ; keep it moist, and m a week you can tell what per cent. Will grow." War Papers. r' A reporter who was curious to know" what effect the introduction of war litera ture had had upon the circnlation-ef the Century Magazine made ingvjjries of President Smith. The series of sketches by Union and Confederate generals has about doubled the .-circulation of the monthly in something over five months. "Mr. Gilder," siti'd Mr. Smith, "the editor oT the matzaidne, asked me one day if I would publish an article on John Brown by a Southerner. 'Yes,' I 'said, 'if it is a good article and does not abuse the old hero in his grave.' Mr. Gilder bought it, and we then' sent it to Mr. B.' Sanborn, . who wrote on the same subject from the ' x-.v.uudu oi-auiij-roiiu-. e puutisnea uow9 and watched, with some anxiety the news paper comments, for we have to depend on the newspapers to feel tbe great pulse of the public The response snowed clearly that the people.- both North and South, were in a, mood to-listen calmly and with deep interest te discussions of the tender and sad topics 'ef.tweny odd years ago. We followed with 'Beauregard's account of the Battle of Hull Run. That waa more dangerous and also more successful, and from that time we have had no hesi tation in con tinning tbe series indefinitely. It haa popularized the Centary in all sec tions, and aroused interest not only among those who fought on either side and who witnessed the stmgglerbnt in those born during and since the war." What Mr. Smith calls feeling the great pulse of the public by reading the news papers is committed to several yotlng men and women, who daily plod through a mass of 3.500 journals. .Every comment on the articles in the Century is extracted. Mr. Brainerd, one of these readers, keeps a huge volume, which' is an Index of these journals, with' heiroglyphics to indicate the character of the .arti cles printed. There is a scheme afoot in New York to eet tin -a snbscrintion book written by war correspondents and illustrated by war artists. .Such a work, written- with a view to srivinc accounts of the great battles, with a spice of personal adventure thrown in, would be very popular.

West, appears the news that "Edison has lost a lot of money in Wall street some putting it as high as $300,000 or $300,000. " Nobody but Edison's intimate friends know how amusingly absurd such a yarn is. Edison never has "a lot-of money," because he doesn't care about saving money and knows that money is good for nothing except to spend. He probably would uot go to Wall street if he knew he could make $100,000, but U he had that amount be would lie awake nights contriving bow to spend it in developing some invention.

But there is a point in pain beyond which numan nature ceases to be amiable no mat ter whether the afflict ed be saint or sinner.

Telegraph Wire. Sometimes when all the conditions are favorable, a telegraph wire is worked di rect from Chicago to San Francisco, a distance of 2,500 miles: but the feat is un usual and infrequent. The Pittsburgh Times says "the longest and most com plicated circuit in the world is one which is operated by the United Press Associa tion. The wires run from New York, to Nashville, Tenn., 2,635 miles, touching Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Harrisburg, Norfolk, Grafton, W. Va., Pittsburg, Newark. O., Chicago, Cincin nati, Buffalo, Louisville, St. Ixiuis, India napolis, Peoria and many other p!aoes. The circuit is worked by a very skillful arrangement of repeaters with as perfect a result as if it were only a few hundred miles in length. General Manager Phil lips thinks that by the method in use, 10,000 miles of wire can be worked aud be fore long New Orleans, Boston, San Francisco and intermediate points will be on one wire. - E8 wi Samoa, xj 'i itnsjSaaia H Iq wos 88B W '9M01 'CO -V0 T'Ja .

The Gartenflora gives the following iu teresting account of the method by which tbe Chinese broduce miniatdre trees, and which could easily be - tried without trouble or expense: The pulp of an orange is removed by an aperture the size of a half dollar, aud filled with cocoanut fibre, ter is' placed a seed of the tree it is wished to grow. The orange, .is placed in a glass or other vessel, and the compost kept l Tl. a BAAjlliM rvAvm , no tM Ina stem orotrudes through the hole in the orange, the roots penetrate the rind. The roots as soon as they reach this stage are cut off close to the rind, and this is con tinued for tvo o three years. The tree ceases to grow, and assumes the aspect of an old tree. The roots equally ceass to crow, and the rind of the orange is nninted and varnished. The Japanese have a Way of dwarfing and growing forest trees in comparatively very small pots. Visitors at the centen nial exhibition in Philadelphia wilt re collect the odd-looking specimens brought from Jaoan. which were saia 10 oe over a hundred years old. ' v Dangerous For Children.
