I connection with the discus sion low go on in North Caro -ina with reference to restricting the franchise the following syn opsis of the constitutional re quiremcnts for a voter in various States of the Union may prove interesting. Th'j Louisiana franchise act, pro' ides that a qualified voter must be a c tizen of the United States, a resident of the State for two years, the county one year, and the precinct six months. "Li unabde to read and write as pro vidtfid by the Constitution, then ne bbail be entitled to register and vote if he shall, at the time ne offers to register, be the bona tide owner of property assessed to him in the State at a valuation of not less than $300 on the as sessment roll of the current year in which he offers to register, or on' the roll of the preceding year, if the roli of the current year shall not then have beencomplet iid and filed, and on which, if such property be personal only all taxes shall have been paid." The South Carolina election law provides that a voter must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of the State fc r two years, the county one year the town foor months and the pre cinct four mouths. He must al so have paid for six months be fore the elect on any poll tax then due, aud must read and write any section of the State Constitution or can show that he owns and has paid all taxes due the previous year on property in the State as sessed at 300 or more. A voter in Mississippi must be a citizen of the United States, who can read or understand the Constitution, and who has paid all taxes. He must also have liv ed in the State two years and in tne county and precinct one year. rue Jaws oi Georgia require that to become a voter a citizen must have resided in the State one year and trie county six months, and must hive paid al his taxes due since 1867. Co? liecticutt and Massachu setts require voters to be able to read and write the truaire, after a residence in the State oue: year. The States of Rhode Inland, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts New Jersevand West Virginia ex elude all paup' rs from the right to vote, In New York a voter is dis qualified if he has been convicted of any crime.or who has paid or promised to pay compensation forgiving or withholding votes, or who has laid any wager on the election. The Vermont law is the most water tight of all. In that Stab no one can vote except those "who have obtained the approba tioao' the board of civil authori ty of the town in which he re sides." These boards have ab solute power to say who shall and vvh.) shall not vo'e. It is disf rau chiseraentou a scale never dream ed of in the South. Persons convicted of felony or other infamous crimes, idiots, lunatics and those who deny the being of an Almighty God are hot allowed to vote in North Caroli ua. In Delaware a citiz.n must pay a. registration fee of $1 before he is allowed to cast his ballot. Tne new Western States are the most liberal iu their franchise ioquirments. Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah allow any cit zot of the United States, male oi female, to vote, after residing in the State for six months -Orv-gon allows white male citi ziiusof -heUuited States ioyvol after residing in the State six mouths. - Tennessee and Pennsylvania require voters to have paid thei: taxes for the two years preced ingjhe election. A citizen of California who is unable to read the Constitution in English, and write his own name, is hot allowed to cast a vote. The Australian ballot d; or a plan based on it, ;s in force in all the States except North ind South Carolina. The lequirements of elect ts n South Carolina. Louisiana and Mississippi serve 4o almost com pletely disfranchise -.the -negro voter, and he is. therefore, hot a actor in i he . politics of those Mates. v The registration of voters is nut required in the States of Iu liana and Orfigon, and it is pro- nibited bv constitution nrovis r - . ions in Arkansas and West Vir- tri ma. Women are allowed to vote on ocal questions in Arizona, Con necticut, Illinois, Delaware, In dian U, Iowa. Kentucky, Massa chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska.

A correspondent of the Warren ton Record under the above head ing sayy of an inmate of the Coun ty'Home of Warren coin: ty "I have just been rumin&tiug, as Bill Arp would say, and thinking how ery changeable this world of ours is; i one oi us ku w, wnat a day may bring forth. I once knew a young lady of your town, who was beautiful, and accomplished; . it seemed as if na ture had lavished her best gifts on her, in vast profusion. Onoueoc- casion, met nor at tjoi- ureen s hotel. She was recently returned from Saratoga, where she had been spending the season, and visiting the Northern cities, and had come down to visit friends' and tell them the news. Mrs. Green said to her, "Well, I suppose you have seen every thing." She very gracefully te plied, "No mam, 1 have not seen everything, but 1 certainly have seen a great deal." She vvas very bright and interesting, and related many incidents in connection with her trip, and told of many distin guished gentlemen with whom she met, and whose acquaintance she formed, among them Messrs. Clay, Cachoun, Crittendon, Webster and others, members of Congress and cabinet officers. I thought she was one of the most facinating la dies it had ever been my good for tune to meet. Well, this lady, theu as beauti ful and accomplished, so arrito cratic and stylish, is now an in mate of our County Home. I un derstand she is comfortably situat ed, and satisfied. It is gratifying to know that our people are able and wiiling, to care for those, who can not care for themselves. Let us hope that her last days may be her best days The ancient believed that Ilheu matism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflamatory rheumatism will agree that the in fliction is demoniac enough to war rant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain s Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. - One application relieves the, pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone wcrth many times its cost. For sale by John Baugham Sport. The slaughter of animals of any kmd for mere pleasure ought to be prohibited by law. It is the writer's firm belief that a fully awakened conscience will recog nize animal rights as well as hu man rights, and certainly there is o right more sacred to either an imal or human than the right to live. To the writer, nothing short of the wholesale masaacre of human beings could be more hideous than . going out. with a shotgun to kiil birds, or- with a rifle tc de stroy tec gracefLl antelope or bu sy rabbits aud squirreis. all ac tively at worii performing offices in the economy of nature. Think of the millijns ot murders which are daily committed in the name of sport, of the vast number of noble, happy creatures which are shot down, either k.lled outright or maimed and mutilated, to lin -er out a miserable existence, and finallydie of pain or starva tion. Dr. J. H. Kellogg of the Battla Crsek Sanitarium Orphan Work in North Carolina We are indebted to Charily and Children, one of our most valued xebanges. published -- al the Thomasviile Orphanage, for the following information about or phan work in North Carolina: The first Orphanage ever es ablished in our State was found jd by Mr. J.,H. Mills, nearly 5 years ago As our readers know this is he Oxford Orphan Asy ium. that has been so great a olessing to our people generally. It is supported in part by the Legislature, in part by the Ma sons, and the remainder is sup plied by the voluntary offerings of the people. Co!. W- J. Hicks is the present Superintendent. Fourteen years ago the tirst denominational orphanage wases tablished. Itwas born in a storm but it has conquered all opposi tion and is now acknowledged to be one of the best and most wide ly useful institutions of the kind in the South. It is hardly neces sary to mention its name or tha of its General Manager. Two or three years later (we have not the dates at hand) the Barium Springs Orphanage be gan its blessed work. It is a fine institution with splendid build- ings and about 100 children. The work appears not to be so well organized as ours and f-equently they are hard pressed for funds to meet expenses; but we are frlarl tr VlOQ r thrMT tiro in vrfvr good financial shape and we hope i the Presbyterians of North Car- olina will not allow their no le Orphanage ever to suffer. Rev. R. W. Boyd his been the mana- gerwe think from the beginning and is in that position still. Then the Episcopalions saw their duty snd organized at Char- lotte where they have a small Or phanage with perhaps thirty or forty children. It is called the Thompson Orphanage, and Rev. W. J. Smith is in charge of it. They seem to be prosperous and never complain about hard times, The Odd Fellows were the next in tne neia. aooui eigni years ago tney determined to maue nrovisions for the helpless chil dren of their dead, and locaTSd at aniiiehnrn wViptp. thftv ha.vp. ftrpp.t ed excellent buildings.

The Supreme Court has decid ed that the legislature cannot take charge of the penitentiary, but that it can take charge of the state capitoY the supreme court building and publ'c groundsjthat it can get rid of Burns but not of Day. The Court has decided that the legislature cau do what it wants to about the public print ing and Agricultural Department but it can't touch the Atlantic Railroad. This medly of contra dictions does not strike the mind of the average citizen as good law. Can it be that the legisla ture can legislate out of office the keeper of the capital, who hav change of the state house, the state arsenal and state supreme court building, and that the same body cannot get rid of the keeper of thi convicts? Is it possible that the state can take from Barnes Bros , the public printing worth thousands, and give it to Edwards & Broughton, and that it cannot dismiss a man it has hir ed to run a railroad becauso two I man o rl vr, ? ,-, t SlQ nnrtVt a y The fact is the legislature had the right to change the manage ment of any department of the 1 - V A. stateg jvernment. The tone and temper of the opinion rendered in thee cases add nothing to the weight of the authority. The court puts the state iathisatti- tude You can abolish this offic and get rid of this officer. That is all right. But if you give the duties to some one eise you can't do it. In other words you can get rid of the office but you can't get rid of the officer.

Effect of Reputation on Character. Reputation helps to make char iacter. lobe continually teding a boy that he is a bad boy is more likely lo made him worse than better. To give a class the rep utat'on of being the "worst class io school." and to keep noising ii abroad, is not likely to raise thn moral tone or discipline of tm j ss A who has served out a term in prison for crime finds it hard to show himself trustworthy, because nobody His reputation as trusts him. an ex prisoner clings to him, and. unless he is exceptionally strong - Gf win refoni seems hopeless to him, and he sinks back to the lev el which his bad reputation has hpftn deoreciatins him.
