Including stocks and bonds the rail ways of the United States are capital ized at $00,000 per mile, while those of Great Britain are capitalized at $220,000 per mile, or nearly 400 per cent, higher than in this country. Gymnastics are a healthy and dangerous sport. At least it appears ko from the lafit annual report of a Fociety of Swiss "turners." During the vear, 321 of its G299 members met with accidents while engaged in gym nastic exercises being hurt seriously , enough to draw a sick benefit from the ' society during on average time of 16$ i days, The South in 1894 raised about flftj bushels of corn to every bale of cot ton. The farmer who comes out even on his cotton at present prices is for tunate. The farmer who has a sur plus pf .corn is ahead. The salvation oAho South during 1891 was its great cola and hog .product. It if useless, in the judgment of the Atlan ta Journal, to say more. Tho Kentucky Board of Railroad CommisHionersj has placed the valua tion of the railroads in the State at $52,3.17,910, while that submitted by tho railroad , officials is $32,075,319.

Just why this emblem, which has always attracted the notice o visitors and sometimes moved them to ridicule, should be iguored in the transfer of movables from one room to the other is not explained, and' it is even said that the codfish is doomed to figure in a museum, presumably historical. The , following account of its origin is given : 1 "In 186(5 Charles W. Palfrey, editor of the Salem Register, and a member of the House for several years, under took to gather all the facts that could bo learned about the placing of the figure in the chamber. After exten eive researches, he found much con . cerning the fish, which, luckily, had been, preserved. On Wednesday, March 17, 17S1, John Rowe, a mem ber lrom Boston, moved permission to hang the codfish in the house as a memorial to the importance of the codrishery to the welfare of the State. The motion prevailed, anil shortly after the emblem was placed in posi tion, and there it has remained undis turbed through all the vicissitudes oi the years which have intervened. Once it was repainted, but it has never been taken down from the iron rod bj which it is held in position. Mr Rowe, who presented the figure to the, Commonwealth, was a well-known citi zen of Boston and a conspicuous patriot, being associated with Samuel Adams, James Otis, John Hancock, and other leaders of the Veriod. He was interested in commerce and an extensive property owner along the water-front, Rowe's Wharf and con tiguous territory being among hif possessions. He died on February 17, 1787." TUESDAY.

C A sudden and very sad death occurred at the Southern depot Saturday morning. Mayor I. N. Link, of Durham, while waiting in a carriage for the south-bound train, suddenly expired without a word. Capt. Link was for,a nnmberoi years head bookkeeper for the Duke Cigar ette Co., of New York. He broke down at this and was never afterward able to resume the work. He has been mayor of Durham for two years, and was very popular. He had been mar ried twice, and the second time only about two weeks ago. Mr. Carr Will Haveto Pay Income Tax. The report of theBlackwell Durham Tobacco Co., of Durham. N. C, for 1894 shows that the business of the company was next to the largest in volume and tbe largest in the way of profits since the organization of this company. Tbe report shows a very gratifying condition of affairs, and the directors very naturally accord to Julian S. Carr much of the credit for this prosperity. It is said 'that the salary of $10"000 which Mr. Carr is paid is the largest salary paid in North CaroliniK A Teacher Found Not Guilty- Concord, N. C. Several weeks ago charces were preferred against Mrs. I.ncr P. Cole, a teacher of the sixth rade in the rraded school, by Dr. L - u .M. Archey, for conduct unbecoming a lady and a teacher, and manifestations of temper and ill treatment of children. After thorough investigation the school board found that the charges were not sustained by any evidence that could be gained from the witnesses. w.cTnvixnv D. C. On Monday Prudent sent to Congress a special 4Ka finftnrifll situation. In UiCBO V" Kia inirndnrtorv remarks ne says vuu did not approve of his plan of currency legislation as proposed in a previous message, and tne sunauou uus a And the emergency now OU llujvv. - appears so threatening that - he deems it his duty to ask at the hands of the legislative branch of the government - sv i . i.: 1 1 1 such prompt and enecuve action as win restore confidence in our financial soundness and avert business disaster and universal distress among our peo- Ple- The President Jays down tne pro position that we are suffering the re- mil to. of a false financial policy, and that the real trouble which confronts us consists in a lack of confidence, widpsnread and constantly increasing, in the continuing ability or disposition of the government to pay its obligations. 4n ailerinate cold reserve is, m all j jj circumstances, absolutely essential to the nnholdine of our public credit, X u - and to the maintenance oi our nigu national character. Our gold reserve has reached such a state of diminution as to require itsspeedy re-inforcement There need be no fear that we can not pav our current expenses with . 7tv. such money as we have, mere is now in the Treasury a comfortable surplus of more than 63,000,000, but it is not in cold and therefore does not meet, our difficulty. Whatever ideas mav be insisted upon as to silver or bi-metallism, the proper solution of the question now pressing noon ns reauires a recognition ot gold i i . , . ok tt-pll as silver and a concession of its imnnrtanee. rightfully or wrong fully acquired, as a basis of national credit, a necessity of an honorable dis- charrrfl of our oblitraHons payable in " o - - cold, and a badee of solvency o ' '. . . - . While I am not unfriendly to 6iiver, and while I desire to see it recognized to such an extent as is consistent witn the financial safety and the preserva tion of national honor and credit, i am not willine to see coid entirely abolished from our currency and fi nances. To avert such a consequence T bplieve thorough and radical reme dial legislation should be promptly nassed. i . .... I therefore ask Congress to give tne Kiibipct. immediate attention. In my nni nion thp Secretary of the Treasury should be authorized to issue bonds of the government for the purpose of rro- cnrinc and maintaining a sumcient cold reserve. I Riica-est that they be issued in de nominations of twenty and fifty dollars and their multiples and that they bear interest at a rate not exceeding 3 per pent, npr annum. I do not see whv they should not be payable fifty years from their date. We of the present generation have large amounts to pay if we meet our obligations ana long bonds are most salable. Ar a constant means for the mainte nnncp of a reasonable supply of gold in the Treasury, our duties on imports should all be paid in gold, allowing all other dues to the government to be naid in any other form of money. i - . I believe all the provisions l have mifrested should be embodied in our o laws if we are to eniov a complete re instatement on a sound financial condi tion. Thev need not interfere with anv currency scheme provided fo' the v increase of the circulating medium, through the agency of national or Statt banks, since they can easily be adjust ed to such a scheme. Tn conclusion. I desire frankly to confess my reluctance to issuing more bonds in present circumstances, and with no better results than have lately followed that course. I cannot, how ever, refrain from adding to an assur ance of much anxiety to co-operate witn tne present congress m auy rea Ronable measure of relief, an exores ! sion of mv determination to leave noth- j ing undone which would furnish a hope ! for imnrovinc the situation or check ing a suspicion of our disinclination or disability to meet with the strictest honor every national obligation.
