Be Sure It you have made up your mind to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take ny other. Hood's Sanaparilla is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by virtue of Its peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example is worthy imitation, tells ber experience below: ' . To Get "In one store where I went to buy Hood's BarsaparUla the clerk tried to induce me buy . their own instead of Hood's; he told me their's would last longer; that I might take it on ten clays' trial; that if I did not like It I need not pay anything, etc But he could not prevail on me to change. ' I told him I knew what Hood's Sarsaparilla was. I had taken It, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other.

I've been among the Se- seshers a earmn my daily pecfc Dy my legitimit perf eshun, and havnt had no time to weeld my facile quill for "the Grate Komick paper," if youH allow me to kote from your troothful advertise ment. My success was skaly, and I likewise had a narrer scape of my life. If what I've bin threw is "Suthern hosspitality," 'bout which we've hearn so much, then I feel bound to obsarve that they made two much of me. They was altogether too lavish with their attenshuns. I went amung the Seseshers with no feelins of anneimosity. I went in my perfeshernai capacity. I was actooated by one of the most Loftiest desires which can swell the human Buzzum viz., to giv the peeple their money's worth, by showin them Sagashus Beests, and "Wax Statoots, which I venter to say air on surpast by any other statoots anywheres. I will not call that man who sez my statoots is humbugs a lierand a hoss thief, but bring him be4 me and Til wither him with one of my scornful frowns. But to proseed with my tail. In my travels threw the Sonny South I heared a heap of talk about Seceshon and bustin up the Union, but I didn't think it mounted to nothin. The politicians in all the villages was swearin that Old Abe (sometimes called the Prahayrie flower) shouldn't never be noggerated. They also made fools of theirselves in varis ways, but as they was used to that I didn't let it worry me much, and the Stars and Stripes continued for to wave over my little tent. Moor over, I was a Son of Malty and a member of several other Temperance Societies, and my wife she was a Dawter of Malty, and I sposed these fax would secoor me the in floonz and and pertectiun of all the fust families. Alas! I was dispinted. State arter State seseshed and it growed hotter and hotter for the under Bined. Things came to a climbmacks in a small town in Alabamy, where I was premtorally ordered to haul down the Stars & Stripes. A deppytashun of red faced men cum up to the door of my tent ware I was standin takin money (the arternoon exhibishun had com menst, an' my Italyun organist was jerkin his sole-stirrin chimes). "We air com, Sir," said a millingtary man in a cockt hat, "upon a high and holy mishun. The Southern Eagle is screamin threwout this sunny land proudly and defiantly screamin. Sir! "What s the matter with him?" sez I; ''don't hisvittles sit well on his stum-muck?" "That Eagle, Sir, will continner to scream all over this Brite and tremenjus land!" " ' Wall, let him scream. If your Eagle can amuse hisself by screamin, let him went!" The men anoved me. for I was bizzy makin change. We are cum, Sir, upon a matter of aooxy "You're right, Capting.

I ",axed them if that was ginerally the stile .among tmeves m that country, to which they also inade no reply, but sed I was i arrested as a Spy, and must go to Mont j gomry in iuns. They was by this time Jined by a 'large crowd of other South ern patrits, who commenced kollerin "Hang the baldheaded abolitionist, and bust up hie immoral exhibition!" -I was ceased and tied to a stump, and the crowd ; went for my tent--that water proof pavilion, wherein instruction and amoosment had been so muchly com bined, at 15 .cents per bead and tore it all to pieces.

Besistce was nwieep, f qr a variety "oi reasons, as I readily obsarvedV : " . The Seseshers confisticated my statoots by smashing them to attuma. They then went to my moneybox and confisticated all' the loose change therein contained. Tbey then went and bust in myV cages, lettin all the animals loose, a small but heltby tiger among the rest. -jThfe tiger has a excen trie way of tearin digs to peaces, and I allers sposed from hfe gin eral conduck that he'd hav no hey'itasuun i s rvia human beins in the s;rjae wa" when I see that tiger spring in among the people.- "Go it, my sweet cuss!"

"I forgive you for bitin off my left thum with all my heart! j Rip 'em up like a bully tiger -whose Lara has bin in waded by Sesehers!" . - I I can't say for certain that the tiger serisly injured any of them, but as he .was seen a few days after, sum miles dis tant, with a large and well selected as sortment of seats of trowsis in his mouth, and as he lookt as tho he'd bin havin sum vilent exercise, I rayther guess he did. You will therefore perceive that they didn't confisticate him much. 1 was carrid to Montgomery in iuns and placed in durans vial. The jail was a onery edifiss, but - the table was lib erally surplied with Bakin and Cab bidge. Thi3 was a good variety, for when I didn't hanker after Bakin I could help myself to the cabbige. I had nobody to talk to nor nothin to talk about, howsever, and I was very lonely, specially on the first day; so when the jailer parst my lonely sell I' put the few stray hairs on the back part of my hed (Tm bald now, but thare was a time when I wore sweet auburn ringlets) into as dish-heyild a state as possible, & rollin my eyes like a manyuck, I cride: "Stay, jaler, stayl I am not mad, but soon shall be if you don't bring me Buthin to Talk!" He brung me sum noospapers, for which I thanked him kindly. At larst I got a interview with Jeffer son Davis, the president of the Southern Conthieveracy. He was quite perlite, and axed me to sit down and state my case. I did it, when he larfed and said his gallunt men had been a little 2 en thoosiastic in confisticatin my show. "Yes," sez I, "they confisticated me too muchly.

When the convention got together this morning a chorus from tho Farmers', Alliance song book proceeded prayer by Rev. Gilbert Delamater, the Greenback ex Congressman. Delamater was round ly applauded, when he arose to pray. requentand earnest aniens from the audience punctuated the invocations and then a city glee club regaled them with a humorous ditty. Reports from the committees of arrangement and credentials now helped to kill time pending the exciting development hat was looked for when the platform committee was ready to report." An appeal was made from the plat form for funds to pay the home fare of the colored delegate from South Carolina. Tne delegate. Savage by name, came forward personally, and in a clever speech said the reason so few of the colored organizations were represented was that the colored people were too poor. It was, per haps, as well for the .convention, he added, eyeing the hats that were be ing paused around for his benefit, that so few colored delegates came. He was handed a hat full of small change, and retired amid great cheering for the colored alliance. Recess was taken until 2 p. m. When the convention reassembled, a letter from L. L. Polk, which was read, advising this conference to issue an address and defer action on the Third Party until 1892, caused a breeze, and when a motion to refer it to tho Committee on Resolutions, which was carried, the secretary of the Committee on . Resolutions read the platform as follows: 1st. That, in view of the great so cial, industrial and economical revo- ution now dawning on the civilized world, and the new and living issues confronting the American people, we believe that the time has arrived for the crystilization of the political re form forces of our country and the formation of what should be known as the Peoples' Party of the United States of America. 2d. That we most heartily endorse the demands of the platforms as adopted at St. Louis, Mo., in 1880, Ocala, Fla., in 1890, and Omaha, Neb., iu 1891, by industrial organizations there reprepresent6d, summarized as follows : The right to make and issue money is a sovereign power to be maintained by the people for their common beneQt. hence we demand the abolition of the National banks as banks of issue, and as a substitute for the National bank notes we de mand that legal tender Treasury notes be issued in sufficient volume to transact the business of the ' country on a cash basis, . without damage or especial advantage to any class or calling, such notes to be legal tender in payment of all debts public and private, and euch notes when "de manded by the people shall be loaned to them at no more than 2 per cent per annum upon non-perishable product as indicated in the sub-Treasury plans and also upon real estate with proper limitations upon quantity of land and amouatof money ; We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver; We demand the passage of laws prohibit ing alien ownership cf land and that Congress take prompt action to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by alien and foreign syndi- cateej and that all lands held by rail roads and other corporations io 1 ex cess of such as is actually used and needed by them be reclaimed by the Government and held for actual set tlers only; Believing the doctrine of equal rights to all and special priv ileges none, we demand that taxation, National, State or muoicipal shall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We demand that all revenues. National. State or county shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the Gov ernment economically and honestly administered; We demand a just and equitable system of graduated tax on incomes; We demand a most rigid. honest and just national control and supervision of the means ot public communication and transportation and, if this control and supervision does not remove abuses now existing. we demand Government ownership of such means of communication and transportation; We demand theelec tion of President, Vice President and United Stales Senators by the direct vote of the people. (3) That we urge the attendance of all progressive organizations on the conference called for February 22nd 1892, by six of the leading reform or ganizations. . (4) That a National Central com mittee be appointed by the confer ence, to be composed of a chairman to be elected by the body, and of three members for each State represented, to be named by each; State delega tion.- ; 4 , Y tb. That this Central committee 6haU represent this body", attend the National conference on February 22nd 1832, and if possible unite with that and all other reform organizations there assembled. If no satisfactory arrangement can be effected, this I cominulte tUa!i tall a national con 1892, for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President. , The name of the new party "Peo ple's Party of the United States' elicited a magnificent outburst of ap plause, and as each plank was read the cheering . was renewed eo. fre quently that the great hall seemed to reverberate continuously. When the resolutions recommending un iversal suffrage to favorable consider ation and demanding payment of bounties on a gold basis were read, the former met with a rather chilly reception, but the latter was roundly cheered. Schilling announced that the pen- 8ion plans was leiiio tne suwier member on the committee, with an . . . . r . inquiry wnetner n was saustacsory. and on his acquiescence it was adopt ed unanimously. Davis of Texas, a - lank six- footer in a light suit, who had electrified the convention during the Donnaily speech by a long weird hoop of exul tation, was conducted to the platform and to the intense delight of the Convention repeated the unearthly ndian-like trill." Then be announced himself as an ex-Coutederate and declared himself for the platform, very plank and every resolution. An extraordinary spectacle follow ed. Wads well of Indiana, an ex- Union soldier, rushed up to the ex- Confederate Davis in full view ot the Convention, and the two one time mortal foes grasped hands. R. fT. Humphrey of Texas, organ izer of the Colored Alliance, 6eued with the inspiration of the movement. suddenly joined the ex-soldiers and amid a perfect cycloneof enthusiasm. a delegate moved the adoption of the platform as read. The convention went wild, the delegates mounting the tables and chairs, shouting and yelling like Camanches. A portion of the convention, in thunderous chorus, sang to the tune of "Good bye. My Lover. Good-bye." the words Good-bye, Old Parties, Good- bye. and then the Doxology. In the forest of flags and State ban ners, that had gatnerea witn ineir bearers around the trio, the Kansas man, on the shoulders or. two col leagues standing on chairs, raised the Kansas banner and held it aloft abovo all others. The tumult, surpassing in its re markable suddenness and vigor any thing that had previously taken place in the convention, lasted tuny quarter of an hour, till it ceased from sheer exhaustion of the delegates, Several delegates seconded adoption of the report, one suggesting that it be by a rising vote. "Question 1 Question 1" came from all parts of the ball, but the pent-up-enthusiasm had to have vent and one after an other of the orators relieved themselves. The platform proper, exclusive of the resolutions, was then adopted by rising vote. Delegate Miller, of California, threw in a bone of con tention by offering this resolution : "Resolved, that we favor abolition of the liquor traffic. " Confusion became worse confounded. Fifty, orators were clamoring for recognition, but the first to succeed was Schilling, of Wisconsin. He opposed discussion of the question of prohibition at this time. Schilling declared that the resolu tion proposed by Miller had been fully considered and voted down by the committee on platform. To spring it now was plainly throwing a firebrand into the convention, and in his opin ion it was a deliberate attempt to cause a split in the party. The prohibition amendment was overwhelmingly defeated. The resolutions were then adopted with only three dissenting votes. After the receos the roll of names was called, for members of the Na tional Committee, the convention adopting the innovation of appointing three members from each State., in stead of one member, as the old par ties have done. Alliance Congressman! J. G. Otis, of Kansas, nominated H E. Tau beneck, of Illinois, as chairman, of the National Executive Committee. There was a great outburst ef cheers when Taubeneck's name was men tioned. . . - Taubeneck was chosen by acvlama tion. : . - - ' - :Loud calls for Taubeneck finally brought that gentleman to the ros trum, where he made a brief but very manly and modest speech , thanking the delegates. In conclusion, be said they were standing on the brink of a conflict between capital and labor, and the longer tbe conflict was post poned the worse it would be. ; "Our politicians," said he, "might as well try to Stop a cyclone or the' move ments xf stars as to evade this issue." A few moments of confused pre paration for adjournment sine die ensued, then the Chairman's gavel fell, and tbe first convention ot tbe People's Party of the United States had passed in to his tory . Historical Pacts Concerning North Car olina Worth Remeuaberinjc. Wilmington Messenger. : . North Carolina has bee modest in asserting her claims wnen otners have been blatant and boastful. When applied to communities and commonwealths, it is not true that 'real worth requires no interpreter." and that glorious deeds and noble works will secure proper recognition and from tbe blazonry of ft State, whether asserted or not-. It is high time that we should take the velvet from our mouths, and speak out from rostrum and printing press boldly and unmistakably in behalf of our own people and State. TVe unhesi tatingly and positively assert that the truth of history fully warrants us in claiming for our North Caroli na the followine facts in which bite IS FIRST: 1 The first English settlement made on the American continent was on Roanoke Island on July 4tb, 1594. '2. The first Indian whoever receiv ed Christian baptism was Manteo, a chief. He was baptized August 13, 15S4. 3. The first white child ever born on the American continent was V lr ginia Dare, daughter of Anancas and Eleanor Dare, She was born on Roa noke Island, August 18, 1554. 4. Tbe first revolution m America by which a tyrannical and unright eous government was overthrown was in Albemarle in 1676. , 5. The first tractate or paper ever published in America In resistance to tyranny and oppression was writ ten in Granville county, in 1765, and is mentioned by Herman Husband. 6. The first blood shed on the American Continent in resistance to British tyranny was the battle of Al amance on May 16, 1771, between the Regulators and Tryon, the Royal Governor. 7. The first men who were hanged by British authority for tukiug up arms in defence of Liberty, was at Hillsboro Orange county, in the year 1771 probably in the month of June. 8. The first opposition ofiered by an organized assembly to the tax on tea and the unjust rule of Great Brit ain, was made by the first Provin cial Congress held at New Bern, on August 25th. 1774. 9. Tbe first Declaration of Inde pendence ever made in America was at Charlotte on may 20th, 1775. 10. The first Convention of the People, to declare an open resistance to British authority, was held at Charlotte on 31st May, 1775, when new government was sec up. 11. The first open resistance to Brit ish authority occurred on the Cape Fear river, at Wilmington, under Colonels Waddell and Ashe. 12. The first Colony to instruct her delegates in the General Congress to declare indepence of the British Crown, was North Caroliua. This was done on April 12th, 1776, at Hal if ax, where the Colonial Congress was then in session. 13. The first important battle fought between British and American troops was at Moore's Creek bridge. in tbe now county or Jenuer, on February 27th, 1776, over four months before the National Declaration cf Independence was made. 14. The first State in the number of troops furnished in pioportiou to norjualtion. in the war between the K - ' South and the North, was North Car olina. She sent into service 121.000 effective troops, besides nearly 4,000 on other duty. Tbe largest vote fwhitel ever polled betore the war 112.500. In these fourteen particulars North Caroliua stand first. The events re corded ante-dated all other similar events in any other State. - Stand Y our Ground. ; " , When you make up your mind to take Hood's S-iraaparilla, do not be induced to buy some other prepara tion instead.

Roes Ktu-minsT PT ? Cincinnati Gazette. This is a question of wide import ance. Asa rule, pernaps. tne an swer would be, from a special stand point, in tbe negative, but would this decision bear careful consideration! The agricultural interests of this country underlie all others; and if these are unprofitable, what is there that is profitable? People are apt to think that their own business is the nardeat ot ail. This is because one does not know as much about his neighbor's affairs as he does about his own. Hence mis takes are liable to occur. The work on the farm is hard. It is harder physically than it is men tally. A celebrated physician said that bard work killed butfew people. but worry killed many. Farmers are not free from worry, but this is insignificant compared with the an noyances of city life. There is much in the latter that is superficial. There is but a small percentage of it that is substantial. Ic is. truly said that riches take wings and disappear. This is especially true of the people who work for a living in cities. It is not largely true of the tillers of tbe soil. Among the latter are not many millionaires. How many are there among city people! The percentage ia exceedingly sinalL Much is said of salaries and incomes of city people; but what is left in the Bgpegate or on an average after se curing a support! Farmers first have a living. All above that is counted a profit. City . -m . pocpie. as a ruie, u iney secure a subsistence are fortunate. They have little' in reserve. Taking matters altogether, there is no class more independent than those who own good farms. All is not gold that glitters. In a Bense city life may glitter, but it is not all gold. There is too much about the latter that is superficial. Worry is at the bottom of it. Fine clothes do not comfort aching hearts or over come daily worries. The unemployed people io every city and village constitute a large percentage of the whole population The number who today do not know whore the bread for tomorrow is to corae from is enormous. Poverty and idleness lead to crime. Tbe lat ter is, therefore, one of tbe shocking features of city life. Contrast this with life in rural dis tricts. The percentage of crime out side of cities and villages is small. nence one of the worst and most aiscouraging leatures ot tue census is that which shows the tendency of population from the country to the cities and towns and villages. Experience may work a change in this regard. Upon this rests the hope of tbe nation. -The Bound ofTbundei. St. Louis Repnblic. One of tho most terse and succinct description of a natural phenomenon is that recently given by M. Hirn, in which he says that the sound wbieli is known as thunder is due simply U the fact that the air traversed by an electric spark, that is, a flaah of light ning, is suddenly raised to a verf high temperature and has its vol ume, moreover, considerably increas ed. The column of gas thus sudden ly heated and expanded is sometime several miles long and, as the idura- tion of the flash is not over the mil lionth of a second, it follows that the noise bursts forth at once from the whole column, though, for an ob server at any one piaee, it com mences where the lightning Hash is at the least distance. .. In precise terms, the beginning of the thunder clap gives the minimum distance of the lightning, and the duration of tho rolling of the thunder tbe length of the column of heated air. Prof. Hirn also remarks that when a flash of lightning strikes the ground, it u not necessarily from the place Btruclc that the first noisa is heard. Again be points out that a bullet whistles in traversing the air, so that we can, to a certain extent, follow its flight. The same thing also happens -with a falling meteorite just before striking the earth. The noise actually beard has been compared to the sound pro duced when one tears Iiuen; it id due. really, to the fact that the air rapidly pushed on ene side of the projectile in front, whether bullet or meteorite. quickly rushes back to fill the gap left in the rear. , ' Bad Effect of the Summer Youth.

At a wedding reported in Baltimore, a few days ago, no sooner had the company been comfortably seated than the room buist into a flood of light from numerous varicolored incandescent electric lamps hidden among the decorations. The entrance of the bride and bridegroom was welcomed by the automatic ringing of electric bells and the playing of electrical musical instruments. After the first course, tbe room was plung ed into semi-darkness, when sudden ly, from the floral decorations upon the table, there glowed tiny electric lamps. Not only tbe flowers, but the interior of the translucent vases in which some of them were gathered. scintillated with flashes of light. Af ter a while a miniature electric lamp. which in some unexplained manner had attached itself to tbe bride's hair, was seen to glow with dazzling brightness. A toast having been given, two serpents slwoly uncoiled themselves and iattued from the wine bottle that stood beside the bridal couple. Cigars and coffee were serv ed. and the cigars were lighted by an electric lighter, while coffee was pre pared in full view of the company by- an electrical neater. ine speecnea that were made were liberally ap plauded by an electrical kettledrum placed under the table. As the com pany dispersed,' the electric curreut set off a novel pyrotechnic display, amid the crimson glare of which the festivities ended. : A Betrothal Infelicity.

A Hail Storm Kills Fish, Charlotte Chronicle. 1 ' . MoHBOr, N. C, May 18. The citi zens who live along Goods creek . in the northern part of this county are. now giving in some astonishing re ports concerning the recent hail storm which seems to have been more severe in that section than elsewhere. Thu creek has its origin in Mecklenburg county and flows through the soil of Union into Rocky river. Its average width in this county is about twenty feet. - As in most streams of this size, th silver scaled suckers, a fish about 15 incues long, aoouna, during tne nme two or three weeks in "May. There were a great many of them iu the water this year, till the recent hail storm came. - There was a great deal of rain and tbe hailstones were as large as a guinea egg, some of them larger. The water became very muddy and lha fish had to poke their, heads out to get a little fresh air, and many of them were tilled - by the hailstones striking them on the head An Example Of McKinley Prices. Baltimore San. - The advocates, of the high tariff iniquity bave frequently made the claim that the effects of the McKinley bill have been exaggerated that its operation, instead of involving an additional tax upon the consumer, will prove beneficent in the end, and that merchants have merely made ito provisions ah excuse for raiding prices wherever practicable. There is an obvious inconsistency' in these assertions, but that the McKinley bill has caused a material advance in at least one article we have the highest republican testimony in a letter sent to The Sun by a castomer of the Philadelphia firnr whose head is th Postmaster General. 'The customer incloses a bill and a letter from the firm iii question, from which it ap pears that $3 75 is now charged lor copying letter book against $2. 10. the price last .December, and the firm distinctly says the increase is "ou account of the McKinley bilL" Thi Dimple statement, from such a source. is worth volumes of oratory and newspaper writing to prove that tlx McKinley bill has not made living dearer to every man, woman and child in the country. . .v.
