It k claimed by Tanner’s friends that. his excenlrlcltiCS . were" .due to drink. He drank liquor to drown the gains of old wounds, reoeived in the war and so he was chock full most of the time. Tanner’s conduct is a rftflec tlon on the quality of liquor he drank. fThe attention of some of our young friends who contemplate matrimony is invited to the statement that, Mrs. , Hiram Snell, of Malati, Idaho, has giv en birth, at one accouchement, to six. ' children, half half, i. e.,-three hoy#: and three girls. The six, however, -weigh but eight pounds yet they are all bright and hearty and promisee to :■ live. . ■ Parson Newman te, a Northern Methodist and his bitterness towards the South has been conspicuous. He, Xvas a very prominent flgureln the days of Grant. Kecently he .addressed a - ’Chicago audience and said: “I would rather a thousand times be ■a Southerner and have the face pwlb - lem to grapple with, than to be here in ■ Chicago and the North and be coin fronted by these vast hords of ignorant, ' uneducated foreigners, whoswarm over here to take possession.” „ America bus the best railroads and the; finest cars in the world and there iB nobody that travels so -well as the average American. He Is at home anywhere In Ms own country or abroad and yet this, sounds strage when it is known that the dirt roads and high ways for team and wlieel are tlie most :miserabIo in the world. The Hi ail a delphia Press, published in one of the richest and most populous estates of the Union, says: / ' “Itoad making is worse done in the United States than any other work paid by taxes, except teaching geography aud grammer, and our roads are with out exception tho worst to be found in any country uot sami-barbarous. The roads of Pennsylvania are, for instance iniinilcly below those of back-wood countries like Spain or Italy, or pover ty streken lands like India, where tlie great %as» of people have but one -aiiirt and do not always wear that. Thebe la no difference to day be tween the true soldiers of the war on iv either side. When they met face to face and stacked arms for the last time y. at Appomattox, they, went away res pecting each other’s motives and lion ir:- oring each other’s valor. The brave arid gallant Federal soldier is always ready to recognize the nobility ancl grandeur of Lee and his self-sacrificing men; aud no true followers of Lee anei < Jackson fail to appreciate tlie magna nfmlty of Grant at Appomattox. One of the best evidences of the strong! and stability of this Union to-day is the .sympathetic mingling of the Blue am the Gray; which the country witueasec ■’* last week near tlie great battle oi Ohicamauga.

NEWSPAPER EDITORIALS. ‘•We notice in the .Sanford Exprkss an article with the heading “Dr. Kings bury’s reply to Oapt. S. A. Ashe.” We did not Bee that article in the Messen ger. In-it Dr. Kingsbury gives his views on the subject of writing long editorials and things of that kind. W< do not Consider it as a reply to anything that we ever wrote. Dr. Kingsbury may express his views without regard to the New and Obse-ffor. There are some subjects whose elucidation would require a volume; for our part we do not think that the proper function of a newspaper extends to that. How far an editorial shall go in any one article is for his own judgement to determine. But long editorials in the nature of pamphlet articles are not appropriate for newspapers as a general Hung. Yet the News and Observer would not criti cise a contemporary for any use it might choose to make of its editorial space; that is rather a matter for its patrons, We ourselves have sometimes written seven column articles—hut they were on historical subjects, and we wrote as an Mstorhw rather thaii as'an editor . Our discussion of the tariff covers about seveh columns, but we break it up into seven doses. Such things are matters of taste on the-part of the editor and generally a long edi torialis a matter-for the reader to endure. It is au infliction rather than a source of pleasure. -News and Observer. - . — . .From this it will be seen that ('apt. AShe replies to Dr. Kingsbury. The question of the length of editorials ia pfkutal interest to newspaper readers. ; We think the average editorial Of most newspapers is quite long enough, fre quently too long..

We were not acquainted with the oditoriat writings of the press in years gone by bat we infer from Or. Kingsbury that they .wejaalde aud„eommanded more at tention from their readers, than the Edi torial page ul to-day. "The editorials were longer and much heavier mid more elaborate ns a rule. They lacked perhaps the brightness aud poiut of the very best newspaper writings of to-day ; yet they lacked their superficiality.- All profound subjects ape treated with the utmost supMilrin! consideration aud are dished up as light diet.

The crowd numbered- about ITS or 200. They spent the day at the old R. add D. depot, and wore cer tainly a well behaved crpwd. Ali around the front and sides of the old platform was a seething mass of dusky humanity. Here and there could be seen some old musket looked as if.it had been used in ‘ tlie Revolution. " In'* divers baskets giiuipses of watermelons, could.be caught, and. little darkeys with wa tering mouths were watching near I by, until dad or mam would get ready ito cut them, - • . At one place a youth of ebony hue was stretched at length on the platform sound asleep, but holding with a tight grip the cord by which two faithful "purps” were bound, and dreaming, doubtless, of the by gone possum hunts under the pines, on the bank of-ithe old Cape Fear. One old man said he had a plenti ful supply of watermelon seed with him, and he intended raising a big crop next year down on the Missis sippi. ,i. The families were mo3tty unbrok en, there being half a dozen and more in some of them. One man besides his own numerous progeny, had charge of twd boys who had run away, and left the old man and wo man at home. The men were all confident of get ting work down South at a dollar a day or better. They say they did not get enough wages at their old home, the majority not making ovei 50 cents per day. Some of the Charlotte colored peo ple tried to argue with the emigrant* out found them dead set on going South.
