It has often been noted that parents with a numerous progeny flourish licttcr and live better than those with lew chil dren. The necessity forexcrtion prompts to increased activity, and fortune seems to favor parents with n large family. Have you not noticed how hard one brother with only a wife and no children lias to struggle for existence, when his more successful and energetic brother w ith a dozen to feed has accumulated a competence?

Dr. Horace Porter, ot Kansas, was chosen surgeon general W. II. Childers, of Kentucky, chaplain and Comrade Lovett, junior vice com mander. The encampment refused tu recognize the sous of veterans as auxil iary to the (i. A. K. because of the dis turbing faction in the former.

Till-; SOl'TIIEKN 1'OI.UH MM! Threats Against Postmaster lien eral Wanamakcr. The New York Herald has this Wash ington dispatch: The dissatisfaction among the colored men with the conduct of t he administra tion towards them is constantly finding vcul here, and fuel is constantly added to ihe llanie by occurrences at the Whiti House or in the departments. The ap poiiitmcut of Mr. Whitniycr as postmas ter at Ncwlicrry, S. C, already alluded to m these dispatches, still hangs lire at tin poslotlicc department. Inasmuch as the only objection to Mr. Whitniycr is mnU by Democrats, it seems a Iritleipicer thai so ardent a partisan as the postmaster general hesitates to disregard their wishes. The explanation given by some of tin politicians is illustrative of the low plane upon which the present administration is conducted. Mr. Wanamakcr's drummers in the South, so the storv goes, have been notified that if the postmaster general ot iciids conservative sentiment bv putting colored men in offices where thev are not wanted, he will get no orders tor goods anywhere in the South. "It is a question," remarked a-, we'.! known Southern Republican to-day, "it is a question of calico anil ready made clolhing." The colored people say that they cast '.10 per cent, of the Republican votes in the South, and that they think if hardly lair that the white Republicans should absorb ON percent of the otiiccs. Farmers' Trunin. Philadelphia Keeuril. The farmers, bless their hearts! have licard so much about Trests, and have liven made to pay so much to Trusts, that they have been considering how to establish Trusts of their own in order to put up the prices of corn, cotton, cattle and things. Hut the farmers do not stop to consider that 1 rusts are small and compact conspiracies between a few speculative rascals. A Trust with three or four million rascals in it would fail of its own nnwicldincss. Oil thissubject the St. Louis Post-Dispatch pointedly re marks: We liar the farmers are too widely scattered, a too many-headed mid un wieldy multitude, to succeed in righting he trust devil with the mere ashes of Ins iwn fire. A paK'r resolution of the nanv to create a monopoly by purelv voluntary action in doling out products to tin' markets is a bond of combination is elementary and unreliable as a roie of mud. The idea that he can revolutionize trade with farmers' co ojierative commission houses, control the money market by setting up farmers operative banks and arbitrarily keep wheat at $ and cotton at lli'a cents. vitliout rclerence to loreign or home li m. mil. is a dream too beautiful to last.

If the young Governor is going to run on his shape, we suggest that he take in lor the season the name ot ! ire Alarm, which we bestowed upon him in recogni tion of his explosive talents, and which admiring millions have repented, and call himself Beauty Benson, or the Young Man on Horseback, or Pretty Joe.

STRANGE DREAH8, Ex-Alderman Westall Relates a Touching Experience, Editor Citizen : I never was much su lierstitioiiB. thought I had gone deep enough into dreams to fathom thcircause. I found by that study, particularly by practical demonstration, the power and scope of the human mind. It was proven to me beyond doubt that, "In a drenm h moment long We sometimes live for years." I found that I could continue a pleas ant dream if aroused from sleep before its completion, although the break should be made several times, and I knew how to stop the continuance of a disagreeable dream. Yes, 1 thought I knew it all. Hut what I am now going to relate con vinced me that 1 must keep on learning It was about the first of August 1HHN when every member of niv family, as far as I could sec, was in K-rlcct health, that i took my seat as usual in mv easv chair in the sitting room. One can look from that room through n front window to the street Chestnut street. Mv mind was at case, and I fell to sleep. I think I was unconscious not more than thirty seconds, when, during that short inter val, I looked through the window, and saw a two horse wagon rial down the street, and stop near the gate in front of the house. Then two men stepped Irom the wagon, drew a coffin from the rear end, brought it through the gateway on to the porch toward the door, when it disappeared because it had left my line of vision inrougn the window. 1 then thought I called out to the two men in excitement: "Don't bring that coffin in iicre: I iiou t want it: take it awav Then I awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. About ten days after that, mvdauirli ter Mary, who was in her twenty-first year, and who had always been healthy fell sick of a lever. The doctor was iiii mediately called in, but m spite of his skim ami constant attention, she died on the 27th. An undertaker came to pre pare her for the funeral. He decided that it would lie better not to put the body in inecottin till the next day just lielore the hour for the funeral. Well, I was in the sitting room next morning where I had the dream, and, on hearing the rattle of a wagon in the street ill front of the house, I looked through the window just as it stopped near the gate, and 1 saw two men take the coffin from the wagon, and bringitin as I saw in my dream nearly four weeks nciorc. What caused that dream ? Nobodvei answer, and I will have to study deeper uuo me mystery oi (lieanis. Then why, just day before yesterday, on the sad anniversary of her death. should I, for the first time, east my eyes on tne lollowing appropriate lines when the subject was not in mind ? A year in Heaven for her. What is she tearn iii(! of holy things, ofthingn divine anil true? What glorious visions llierc arc still unfolit ing Which here she never knew ? bid niiKcl friends await her at her coining ? lliil ani'el laws erect her with a smile? Were all the dear ones eaRer to rei-eive her Whom she hud lost fur awhile ? A year on earth for us without tier presence; A year of loneliness and grief and pain : But still we smile amid our tenrs iu thinkiuK our loss is but her gain. We miss her in ourjoys nml in our sorrows; She was our lite, our center anil irur sua : And yet we would not call her hack, but whisper, "O, God, thy will be done I" For heaven and earth are very close together. ThoiiKh she is there, she is not far awav : She could not leave the dear ones, lcrved so fonilly, ICven in flea veil to stay! Hut still her spirit, like a guardian angel. is neniluig o'er us with her own loud eare; And sometimes she brings Ileuven so very near us We almost think we're there.

A Viritinla Ki-purtlicau Sayw That Nobody Can TruHt Mini. ?rotn the Philadelphia North American A Northern gentleman, who has lived in Virginia for several years, sends the following letter apropos of the Republi- an State Convention, which though not written for publication, is so interesting that it is presented to our readers: "There is no more prospect of Mahouc arrving the State this fall than there is in his going to heaven in a railroad hand car. 1 was closeted with Lol. Lamb, Mahoue's heretofore ablest assistant in this Slate, for one hour last Wednesday. He told me frankly he was sick of Ma- iouc and his meanness, as he expressed it, in putting histwo sous on the Govern ment. Lamb will positively refuse to so in lull us touch the nomination for Gov ernor. He will insist on Mahoue's tak ing it himself. As he has so led the party that no one can possibly lie elected this fall, it is but just that Mnhone himself shall bear the defeat. That he will lie beaten nllMic way from ten to fifty thou sand is clear to all who know what is going on. I do not believe for one mo ment that he cxiect8 to carry the State. He got all he wanted before. He got control of the party machinery that is, the right to grab ull your deluded North ern Republican' money that will lie sent here and it you Northern Republicans keep on feeding him with your money he will send the party to a receiver, ns he did his Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad. "1 am a Republican from away back to IKoG, but no inducement would make me or my two sons vote his ticket. Of the ten to twelve thousand Northern men who have come here since 1S65 not five hundred will vote his ticket this fall. Besides, the negroes distrust him since hisquarrel with Langston.so he will lose .five to ten thousand of their votes this time. There are at least twenty thou sand Republicans here who will cither vote a Democratic ticket or stay away from the polls. It will be a C. J. Folgcr or a Pattison campaign. Do not think for a moment that I am grunting over a disappointment in not getting an office, as 1 have not applied for one and do not want it. 1 am perfectly indccndcnt of ottice-huntiug. 1 his is a Republican State on n fair issue, and no mistake about it, but with Mahone in the lend it is useless to contest it, as we have no confidence in his integrity. He will sell us out as soon ns he did the Democrats, and we know it and will not trust him." The Flntt Bale Sold. New York, August 29.

A Itfeetinic Where Tears Were Mingled with Tears, ana Memo. rleH sadly Tinged the Present Pleasure of Meeting. Reaching home late last night, owing to a hclntcd train, we arc eouiK'lled to lie much briefer in our account of the sec ond day's proceedings than we had pro posed. We will say more about it here after. At present we omit many interest ing details. Yesterday was all that had been antic ipated. The weather proved to be favor able, after a morning of cloud and shower over which the sun gained an occasional and finally a controlling mastery. But loul or fair, the people of the country around were determined not to foregi their participation in one of the most in tcresting occasions that ever transpired ill the county of Haywood; and from early dawn until 10 o'clock, every road leading into Waynesville was thronged with vehicles of all descriptions, car nages, buggies, wagons of all kinds ii which whole families found a place, lath ers, mother's, daughters, children, babies and the highways presented an almost unbroken cavalcade of men on horses and mules, filling up the beautiful camp grounds, though not crowding them; for they were ample, being on a beautiful grass covered flat on thesparkling waters of Richland creek, dotted at intervals with the majestic rcmainsof aoncegrand forest of giant poplars, buckeyes and beeches. And iu the wide intervals the groups as they arrived disposed them selves at their convenience in friendly or neighborhood parties, and made their arrangements for comfort or hospitality. It was a such a gathering as is rarely seen for its presentation of a noble popu lation, intelligent, decorous, well dressed and animated by feelings impressed with the dignity, or rather the solemnity, of this great gathering; for it was one full o painful memories, aroused by the presence of the remnant of survivors out of the hosts that the counties represented sent forth to battle and who never returned And a natural feeling of sadness over shadowed what would otherwise have been a joyous, perhaps noisy, crowd. The weather itself seemed in sympathy with the pervading sentiment, which did not find expression in grief or in tears, but in tender, subdued emotion; and the misty clouds as they rolled iu fleecy vol umes along the sidesof the adjacent high and beautifttl mountains, - ciling the brightness of the sun for the while anil dissolving themselves iu a suffusion of moisture rather than in outpouring ol rain, an alternation of nature's smiles and tears, were exactly in harmony with the mood of this large-concourse, swayed gently to and fro by fluctuations of emo tion. The number present was between l-.ooo and li.oOO; probably the latter number is nearer the truth. Of course the greater number were from Haywood. But there were large numliers from BuiicoiiiIh-, a still larger number from Jackson, many from Swain, Graham and Cherokee, and a few from Macon and Madison. There were a number of the distin guished men of the State present. There was His ICxcilIcncy Daniel G. Fowle, Governor of North Carolina ;ex-Govcrnor Thomas J. Jarvis, late I'. S. Minister to Brazil ; Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of North Carolina Joseph J. Davis, James li. Shepherd and A. C. Avery; cx- Mcnibcrs of Congress from the Ninth dis trict Robert B. Vance and Thomas D. illusion; Colonel J. S. Mclilroy, Major li. G. McDowell, of Tennessee, andothers we do not recall. Henry W. Grady, who was exK-cted, failed to apK-ar, much to the general disappointment. It was supposed that about 1,"00 vet erans were on the ground yesterday. The exact number will lie furnished us hcre- ifler. In the busy movements of the morning we could not find convenient access to the record. Maj. Slringfield was in general com mand, and was eminently successful iu carrying out all his his arrangements with clock like precision. The Richland Rifles in full numbers and line movement gave a military brilliancy to the picture, mil a drum corps from Asheville, and n military band from Newton, gave the martial animation required as a charac teristic of the occasion. The stars and striK'S floated over the Snakers' stand ;uid in freipient places over the grounds. from the court house tower in Waynes ville, and from many stores and private houses in the town. It may be said here that every place of business in Wnynes villc was closed alter 10 o'clock in the morning, and the whole population went into camp. At half past ten precisely, Mr. Garland S. Ferguson, from the stand, called the assemblage to order, and in touching language reminded the great gathering around him that the present occasion was one of more pain than pleasure, be cause it was more a service for the dead than of the living. The presence of sur vivors, happily as many as they were. only reminded of the far greater numlier that had gone beyond the hearing of an earthly roll call. He said, in shaking of man's responsibility to God, that it was the impulse of the soldier when going into battle to ask God for protection, iu coining out of it to thank Him for safety. And this recognition of the power and goodness of God, made it appropriate on this occasion to thank Him that so many present had been spared the perils of battle should now join in general praise and thanksgiving ; and he called upon the Rev. Mr. Salyar to open the ex ercises with prayer, which that gentle man did with fervor and eloquence. Mr. Ferguson then introduced Mr. W. B. Ferguson, who made the speech ol welcome to the Veterans, which was responded to by Col. B. G. McDowell; and they were followed suc cessively by Gen. Cliiiginan, Hon. R. B. Vance and Hon. Thus. D. Johnston. In turn Col. J. S. Mclilroy took his place to spenk, but was so overcome by his emo tions that he burst into tears and re. tired; a scene altogether touching uml more impressive than verbal eloipiene. It is not possible here to refer farther to the speeches. After the speaking the crowd dispersed to dinner, and to the barbecue. After dinner the veterans in line again marched to the stand, where Gov. Jarvis delivered the memorial address, followed by Judge Davis and others. But we' left the grounds at I! o'clock, hoping to take the train at its schedule hour, in which we were disappointed. But we shall have more to say of the celebration; ami we also hope to have the aitcrnoon gap supplied. THIC I'ltUIIIUAI. SON. Called Home to Enjoy an Inheri tance ol' 15,000,000.

The Stale Fair. This is not far oil', and we hope every part of the State will exert itself to make it a more successful one than ever. Of it the Charlotte Chronicle says: It is a mistake to regard the State Fair as a local undertaking in behalf of I he city of Raleigh Strangers who visit it will not so regard it. They will look upon it as a State exhibit, and it is therefore incumbent upon those who have the material wcilarc of the State at heart to encourage and support the Fair, iu behalf of North Carolina. The Fair should be. as far as possible, a "biid's-eyc-vicw" of the resources of the State. That cannot lie fully realized. But, with the co-operation of the whole Slate, the Fair can be made an enter taining exhibit, n wholesome enterprise, and an advertisement profitable to all State interests. Let everybody who can, lend a helping hand to the State Fair.
