A Woman of High Character and Sound intelligence. I am afraid the modern woman of advanced ideas can’t approve of Mar tha Washington. She went North to join the troops when they werre in a safe place for the Winter, and when her hsuband told her to come, she went South again when the campaign opened in the Spring. She heard many cannon shots in the dis tance, but she' had no ambition to share her husband’s dangers, if he did not wish it. She was a loyal pa triot and hated theBritish. She lield, in fact the same views as her hus band, and held them because he held them. She thought he was the great est man in the world—as indeed, he was—-and that the-life of the wife of i Virginian planter was the best life a woman could lead. She lost no sleep studying the problems that were vexing pnnosopners and states men, but went comfortably to bed it night, thinking of the last in voice of clothes arrived from England or what she would have for dinner oa the following day. * Hep character was high, her intel ligence sound, and her temper mas terful. Nobody at Mount Vernon dls puted her sway, nobody laughed at her, and everybody held her judgmen in respect; yet she never made a right, witty remark and hardly ever read a book except her Bible and a ' ew books of religious devotion. She inew all about the management of j i large household, could play upon the spinnet or harpsichord, and could work in worsteds in all sorts M stitches, but of book education she had very little. How could she have much when she was counted a woman at the age of fifteen and had charge of the household and hnsban at seventeen? She was fully as well educated as other ladies of her day, and although in writing she sent her love to “all enquireing friends” and hoped “billy’s recovery would be a lasting wone,” she was none the less a lady and an ornament to so ciety.—Gaillard Hunt in the Century. Five Stages cf Popularity. There are five stages in a Presi dent’s popularity: First—On election; great acclaim and general praise. Second—During administration; con tinual criticism of both kinds; praise and censure; liked by some, detested and maligned by others. Third—On leaving office; pop ularity at zero; a feeling of relief that his power is at an end, all eyes in his successor. Fourth—Ten years after retirement prevailing respect of the people; a re turn of popularity, a general feeling that he made a good President; com parisons in his favor with the Presi lent then in office. Fifth—Death; universal and over whelming eulogy; an honored place n history.—Wall Street Journal. FIRST THINGS OF AMERICA. The first tariff was in 1789. CSilk .vas, first made in 38*0. Homeopathy was introduced in 1>25. Women first voted in Wyoming in 1870. The phonograph was first heard i i 1878. Sewing machines were first used in 1846. The patent right law was enacted in 1790. The first steamboat p ied the i Ludsou iu 1807. The first adoption of st inflat'd lime was in 1883. The capital was established at Washington in 1800. The first canal was opened in 1804 in Connecticut. The first dental cfliee was opened in New York in 1788. The first assay office was estab fished at New York in 1854. The first discovery of petroleum was in 1850, in Pennsylvania. WILL APPEAL.

SHERMAN IN THE HOUSE. Second Vice President-elect to Serve in the Lower Branch. When James S. Sherman takes his old seat In the front row of the House of Representatives on Decem ber 7, to serve out his term as a member of the Sixtieth Congress, the House will see a Vice President-elect take part in its deliberations for the second time in the history of that body, Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, and like Mr. Sherman, a native of New York, continued to serve as Speaker of the House for half ^ a term in the Fortieth Congress after he had been elected vice president on the ticket headed by Ulysses S. Grant On March 3, 1869, Schuyler Colfax resigned as Speaker in order that he might prepare for his inaugura tion as Vice President. He called Rep resentative James F. Wilson, of Iowa, to the chair and moved the election of Theodore M. Pomeroy, of New York, as Speaker. The motion was carried unanimously, and for one day Mr. Pomeroy acted in that capacity. The Fortieth Congress ended on March 4, and James G. Blaine was elected Speaker of the Forty-first. Mr Colfax remained as Speaker even during the counting and recording of the electoral votes which made him Vice President, and although this act caused some comment at the time it was finally decided that it was parliamentary And constitutional. Mr. Sherman will have no official part to take in hi3 formal election, which takes place in February, al though hq will be as active in legis lative matters in the next s.-ssion as he has been in the past. To him will fall the principal work of framin the Indian appropriation bill,' while his work on the Rules Committee and the Interstate and Foreign Commerrc Committee is expected to give him a busy session in the House before he goes to the Senate to preside over that body.—New York Tribune. How Rockefeller Did It. Organizing ability, practical knowl edge, aptitude to take advantage of inventions, recognition of o port unities and a sure grasp of them—all these the Standard Oil Company had, but they are not uncommon traits in America. It required more than these to build up the oil monopoly, and one pf these further methods is now ad mitted by Mr. Rockefeller himself. He confesses that his company received rebates and drawbacks from the rail roads. This was but one of the many unfair acts often laid at his door. Use af spy systems, underhand stealing of rival trade, even the burning |of their plants, have been charged also. There s abundant reason for believing that :hese practices have existed, but the necessity for proving them no* longer exists. The modern Aladdin’s lamp is not supernatural. It does not mater ialize from the empty air the flood 5* golden wealth it pours upon its fortunate owners. It gets the money uy, breaking the laws other beings lave to obey.—Detroit Free Press. BATTLEBORO AND VICINITY. December 1st, finds the crops nearly all housed, more so than ?ver before. A majority of our farmers have all their crops gath yred.

The report of the New York Pub lic Service Commission, covering the railroads of the State outside of the Metropolitan area is a gruesome' one. On" the steam railroads 1,092 persons were killed and 739 were injured. On the electric roads 95 were killed and 379 were injured. In this classification tne number of victims was greater than in the last preceding year. The State has a roll of honor for the rail roads completing the year without in jury to life. This -year it contains the names of twenty:four steam roads and of twenty-six electric lines; but these safe roads carried less than one half of 1 per cent of the electric pat rons .The rest of the travelling pub lic of New York took chances when j they boarded a steam or electric car. The report is startling. But do the duties sd. .the Public Service Com missionym the protection of life end with making a startling report?

The Institution Child Waits All HiJ Life for the Signal. If life were lived in an army, the institutional training of a child might afford him some preparation. It teach es him to obey, and obey—and obey some more. But by and by he can do nothing else thanobey. He can do hoihing at all untill he gets tl.e com mand. Do you realize .that in all the perhaps sixteen years of his daily ex istence in the orphan asylum ‘ he may not have put on his shoes, or washed his hands, or taken up his knife and fork, without the signal aas first been given? ej and a little A bell ringsatsix o’clock for the iising tour. The children are dress standing by their beds like regiment.

More bells—a bell for breakfast, a !>8ll for school, a bell for dinner, a t>ell for play, a bell for supper, and i bell for bed, and bell for the bed time prayer, and the day is done. To morrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow there will be the same b'fcfis. And the 2hild gets the habit. When he steps Jver the threshold into the world, he still waits for the bell. With none to ;ive the signal, is it it any wonder when he flounders and fails?—Ma 3e! Totter Daggett, In the Deline itor. Montgomery Will Sue Dixon in New York. W. A. Montgomery, former associ ate justice of State Supreme Court s to procure at this term of the federal Court, Judge Boyd presiding, ibel that he instituted recently a faiast Thomas Dixon Jr., in order tb. ie may go to New York State to >ring suit in the State courts there, de takes this course because he finds hat personal service cannot be pro cured s>n Thomas Dixon for the lit gation in North Carolina, nor can lervfce by publication be substituted illssfactorily. Furthermore Dixon’s •evidence is in New York and he has property in that State that can be at ached for the satisfaction of any ver iict for damages that may be award id in a suit maintained in the New fork State courts.

A letter has been received by governor Glenn and immediately aimed over to the Agricultural Department. It is from Notara Bros , New York tobacco import ;rs and cigarette manufacturers, who are Turks and handle Turk sh tobacco and make Egyptian cig irettes. The firm informs the Ljlovernor that for twelve yea is it lias been manufacturing these cig urettes; that when it fiist began business the imports of Turkish tobacco aggregated only $25,000 in value,' but this year they reach ed the great figure of four million dollars. Hence Notara Bros, says ! that it wlli not be long before the Turkish tobicco will entirely re place American tobacco for cigar ettes. The firm tells the Gover cor that it finds in all probability North Carolina is the best situa tion in which to grow this tobacco in the United States arid say that it will pay far better to raise it than the oidinary leaf. The firm therefore desires to know .vhether any persons in the State could give 50 acres of suitable land lot a test of this Turkish tobicco. If a ten der of such land is made the firm will send a representative to North Carolina to reside and to give thorough iu8lructiona9 to the growth and curing of this tobacco, the methods being entirely differ ent from those in use here in#cur ing leaf, he firm has had years of personal experience in cultivat ing and curing the Turkish^ leaf.

No Longer a Doubtful Experiment in Local Government. Commission government is no long er a doubtful experiment. Success is claimed for it in many sections, and H probably has a "future” in the Unit ed States. Des Moines proudly boasts of hav lng become the Mecca of students of municipal reform and efficient adminis .ration, its commission government h I surpassed expectations and disarmed opposition. Like reports come fron Cedar Rapids, the other Iowa city that has availed itself of the general iaw enabling municipalities to do away with councils, checks and balances, &c. Paterson N. J., is to establish gov ernment by commission, the Supreme L'ourt of the State having Just declar ed-an act for such a form of munici pal administration to be constitution al. Kansas, Missouri, and New Eng land States have passed similar en abling laws, and the municipalities °ave in several instances voted to establish government by small elect ive commissions. Haverhill, Mass., ha adopted a new charter, which pro videa for a mayor and four aid- rmen, •is well as for' a school board of only four members. The charter also d03S away with political designations or marks on the primary ballots, and there is a provision for the recall of any city official during his term of office. The Haverhill plan is the Des >iolnes plan modified to some extent. Gloucester is to vote at the next ele tion on the question of changing its form of government to an elected commission. President Eliot s faith in that plan is possibly an influence of some importance in Massachusetts.— Ghicago-Record Herald. HOW SPECIES ARE DESTROYED. When people sat about getting rid of entire t pecies of animals by systematic persecution, they usual ly fiud it a difficult job. Set a price on the head of the wolf or the woodchuck, and the creature cems to realize the importance of itsl fe. A bounty on crow3 must be viewed, as a pleasant joke by those shrewd observers of men and things. The case of the wolf in Europe is a histoiic one. A price has been set on the creature’s head for ceu turns, and yet there is only a small portion of the continent from which the animal has been exterminated. The Netherlands is free of wolves owing to the char acter of the jeountry. The whole land furnishes not a single rocky den suitable for a wolf’s lair; neither is there a forest for the creature’s shelter. It is true that the wolf has been exterminated' from Great Britain and Ireland. This result has been reached however, by direct means rather, than by direct attack. The cl aring off of i he forest left the wolf uj place in which to hide from pursuit. The islands were too far from the continent for their thinned ranks to be recruited from the main land. In Spain and France the wolf has at no time been unknown, al though a price has been set on its li'-ad for hundreds of years. The animal has developed cunning in proportion as the pursuit has be come closer. Like the crow it has learned to take care of itself. On the other hand, species re ceive very litt e help towards their c -otinuauce from the well meaivt efforts of man to that end. In proof of this we are told that there is an ancient act of Parli* mefit still in force in England and Wales, prohibiting the taking oi eggs of certain birds of which six j kinds are expressly name. In spite of this protecting law, four of the six species have ceased to breed in those countries. The indirect ways in which such results are brought about are shown in the destruction of the quail in New Zealand* The bi df were once numerous; uo one wished to destroy them, But the laud was burned over for other pur poses at seasons wheu the eggs and young of the quail were ex posed to destruction, s.mi a IVv years -brought the species to a eud.

'* The tariff has heen loosely called parent of the trusts,-but it is cu 110 Lls to notice that the steel trust is ) • Pre Pared to bury , its parents with dry eyes. The reason should be obvious to anyone who will think a little. The united States Steel Corporation can . undersell any of the Independents, undersell any of the independents, a ;ls Air- Carnegie says, make steel at a profit with no tariff at all. Take the aaty off steel rails, and the Steel Corporations cannot only undersell ail possible importer, and make a large profit, but can undersell British, Ger man, and Belgium steel manufactur ers in their own markets and pros per with prices which would hardly Keep the German furnaces in blast. Our independents, however, are in no such positions. They have not the same magnificent organization, com mand of raw material, and means of transport. They would be badly crip pied by a reduction, while a com plete repeal might put some of them out of business altogether. It will be seed therefore, that the United States Steel Corporation’s con trol of the steel market would be more complete under free trade in it3 products than it is now. The -problem is a very interesting one for tbe economists of the Bryan school, A do are willing to regard 51 per cent 1 of the nation's output as a monopoly. What will be interesting to observe will be the amount of stimulus giv en to side industries in which the manufactured steel becomes the raw material. Something of a boom in ship 1 ouiidlng might follow. Building con struction of all sorts should be im- i mensely stimulated. Railroads would i>e able to undertake contsruction work of the most far-reaching import ance. it is evident that we are going to have some weeks ofextreme dull ness in the iron trade, because con sumers will wait to see whether they can take advantage of the Lhe effect of the reduced duty on the price. The showing for the pres ent quarter, when the United States 1 Steel Corporation makes its state- ; meat at the end of January, will, of < course be depressing; and it is well, ‘ therefore, for those who. believe in that mighty corporation to remember 1 that the volume of its business is likely to be augmented, rather than 1 impaired ultimately.—Wall Street jou| 1 Leggett Locals.

ISAIAH’S PROPHETIC VISION. Disclosed Mankind Flying, Accordfnj to the 8cripture Interpreter. Looking ahead through the cen turies and, perforce looking up wards, too, the Prophet Isaiah clearly forsaw Count Zeppelin and others soaring through .the space in his dirigible balloon. Bo at least asserts no less an authority than the Deutsche Le* hrer Zeitung, the learned organ of Germany's wise school teachers. It contains a remarkable article seek ing to prove that the prophecies of the ancient Jewish leaders are -being fulfilled daily now; that the writers of the Old Testament, in spired or not, saw into futurity and surely foretold what would come to pass. For instance the Lehrer Zeitung quotes a verse from the 60th chap ter of Isaiah’s splendid poem: “Who are those that fly as a cloud and as doves to their win dowsT Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the steeps of Tarish first to bring thy sons from afar their gold and silver with them, unto the name of the Lord thy 3k)d.” The prophet is describing the ruture glory of the church; or, as ue calls it, Zion, and foretelling low in the future the nations of ;arth from the most distant lands vill flock around the church and lo her homage. But “who are they that fly as loves to the windows of their iotes? Plainly, the schoolteachers ire informed, Count Zeppelin is me of them; his window is the en ;rance tu his huge balloon shed on ihe shore of Lake Constance. “In the passage quoted,” says ;he Deutsche Lehrer Zeitung, “is i palpable reference to Zeppelin, ind there can be no doubt that in he very near future people will ly to church in their aerostats like a cloud and like doves to iheir windows.’ They will never >e able to fly with the wings, for ill physiology is against that hypo diesis, therefore Zeppelin was listinctly in the prophet’s mind. Equally plain is the prophet’s ref erence to the ships of Tarshish. It s an unmistakable allusion to the jreat German fleet of the future.” —A device which forces water down o the roots of plants is said to pro luce wonderful improvement in crops —The Igorrote provinces of the Phi ppmes have been combined, and will >e managed by one governor and sub ;overnors.

Sincere Answers of Pupils While Be ing Examined. “Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas/’ wrote the small boy in the science examination. Other examples of queer answers follow: Air is the most necessary of all the .elements; if there were no such thing as sir I would not be writing this essay now; also there would be noipneumatic tires, which would be a sad loss. Electricity and lightning are of the same nature, the only differ ences being that lightning is often several miles in length, while elec tricity is only a few inches. Air usually has no weight, but when placed in a barometer it is found to weigh about 15 pounds to a square inch. The axis of the earth is supposed to take its daily routine. The probable cause of earth quakes may be attributed to bad drainage’and neglect of sewerage. The difference between air and water is that air can be made wetter, but water cannct. , Gravity is chiefly noticeable in the autumn when the apples are falling from the trees.

Dftan The Kidneys Aie Weakened by Over-Work. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. It used to be considered that only ttrinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,* but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and pnrify the blood— that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do ita duty. If you are sick or “ feel badly,” begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis take by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent ■ and one-dollar sizej bottles.
