The Chattanooga Times asserts that the Indiana, launched the other day, took to the water like a duck on that interesting occasion. Did the Times ever see a duck go into the water tail first ? The admirably edited Review of Re views savs of itself: "The chief characteristic, perhaps, of the Review of Reviews is its amazing alertness. It never soes to press until all the other magazines are printed, and it gathers up the latest events of the world and presents them summarily. with abundant illustrations and in a well-digested, succinct fashion that saves the time of the reader and carries him on a straight, clear line through the com plexities of the month's events." This is true, but it is not as remarkable as it sounds. The great metropolitan newspapers think nothing of gathering and printing within twenty-four hours more matter than the Review gathers and prints in a month. We have gotten used to the performance, but it is really ma vellous the gathering of items of news from hundreds of correspondents, editing and classifying and typing them thousands of little pieces of metal set on end all in less than a day. The House passed the Watson bill against the Tobacco trust, after a lively discussion. The bill to compel railroad companies to furnish seperate carsorcompartments I for white and colored people has become a law and will be in effect after May 1st. Davidson Dispatch: Sallie Grimes, na she was familiarly known around here, died on Sundav morning. She was a confirmed opium eater and had literally killed herself by its use. She was pos sessed of a fine education, and used to be a lady offine accomplshment. Shelbv Aurora : Rutherfordton had a sensation Tuesdav morning, the last day of February, when it was discovered that Rosier Hardin, the 21-vear-old son of William I. Hardin had committed suicide from an overdose of morphine, He had returned the previous day from a f t-i it trt Atlanta and became ill that afternoon. He took morphine, as he often used tbis drucr. and took, inten tionally or unintentionally, an overdose Wlio are corrup tbe Politically tltole ? An Anonymous Writer, in the Mar.h Forum. As to the classes of men most easily accessible to corrupt influences, agents, invariably agree. Easily first are leaders of workingmen's or farmers' pcl.tical movements. In estimating ai elected body, the memberselected on such ticnets are placed on the directly purchasable list without much inquiry. Next come the editors of countrv newspapers and newspapers in small cities; then country lawyers and tnat class The Anthem. The rustic choir's greatest show was always made in the anthem, m whicn some bumpkin had generally a solo to exhibit his "lusty voice." It was i. splendid musical display of its kind. People came trom a long aisuuice iu hear it and felt so satiated that they left without the sermon. No wonder Shakespeare made Sir John Falstaff lose his voice with "hallooing and singing of anthems." To be sure he was guilty of an anachronism, for there were no an thems in the fat knight's time, but it may reasonably bo supposed that ho had become so impressed with this part of the service in his own day that he dropped into the nod winch even Homer is privileged occasionally to enjoy. The Jack Tar who explained a "han them" to his mate on the simple prin ciples ot verbal elongation was not so far out after all. "If I was to say to you," he began, " 'Ere, Bill, give me tiiat hnrHlsnike. that wouldn't be a han- them; but if I was to siy to you, 'Bill, Bill, Bill, give, give, give me, give me, that, that, that handspike, spike, spike, spike,' whv, that would be a hanthem." Just after this f asluon aiu tne om viuugo choirs tear and toss their anthem texts. Cornhill Magazine. FREE OP CHARGE I DO YOU LIKE A Well, That is Just What We Propose to Give You Every Time !

BLANTON, "WRIGHT & CO., We do not know what the law is in North Carolina or whether the point has ever keen tested in this State, but the probabilities are that if it is proposed to erect an electric light or telegraph pole in front of your property and you protest with sufficient vigor the pole will not go up. This stringing a lot of hideous sticks anywhere and everywhere along a street is practically lawlessness, in that it invades the rights o!" others without any compensating benefit. A city should allow poles to be erected, but in giving that permission it should provide that they could be used by any other company that should be given the use of the streets. It is ridiculous that there should be four poles on a street corner when one or two would answer every purpose. Within a distance of two blocks on one of our main thoroughfares there are already upwards of TO poles where it is likely 20 would serve every purpose. SECOND THE MOTION. The Charlotte Observer calls on the Legislature to make the school tax 18 cents, and we second the motion. Not to continue to build up our common schools is to make a trcmei'dous mis take. For instance, Rufus Barringer in the same Observer says, taking for his text the"agricultural depression" in this State : "I had one good cotton grower who came here to Charlotte, 16 miles, about once a month to get his mules shod and buy supplies. I tried in all conceivable ways to induce him to diversify. He stayed with mc some 10 years and usu ally made good crops of cotton, and got fair prices. Uut nis cotton always iuhcu to meet the cost of making and outlay for rent and incidental expenses. He left my land run down and exhausted and mortgages thick and heavy. And this is the experience of hundreds of others. The explanation is found in tbis simple state ment : That most of our average farm ers and planters reallv understand no crop except cotton, and the cultivation of that is largely by costly stimulants nnrt hv expensive methods. But because of their want of true agricultural knowl edge and the great advantage of cotton as a credit crop, they can raise nothing else. And here, in my opinion, is the one main cause of our wide-spread agri cultural depression at the South." In other words it is ignorance, ignor ance for which the individual can hardly be blamed if the State does not provide the means to dispel it by common schools and more especially industrial schools. Say what you will, too, about the freedom of the individual, with these schools must go a com pulsory school law. With education generally diffused will come a demand for the better things of life coupled with an intelligent use of them better roads, diversified crops, not cotton or tobacco forever. Let the Legislature by all means raise the school tax and keep on raising it. ot citY lawyers who usually seek such positions, though lawyers and editors as a rule preler to closs over the transaction by the pre tence of professional services whi;h de' reives net one concerned. Religious pro fession rarely makes much difference with onliricinns. although it tends to render them more cautious and leads them to insist on indirect methods of ap proach when both parties perfectly uu- Hprctaml the end to be reached and are equaliy anxious to attain it.

Finding a pair which par ticularly pleased me, the clerk laced up one, and looked for the otner to ao use wise, but it could not be found. After a vain search I was about to give it up auu select another pair which did not please me half as well, when I saw the edge of the woman's skirt, who sat next me, bulging out, and, calling the attention of the salesman to the fact, he extracted th boot from under her dress. It seems she liked the boots ns well as t fli.l and if she did not get them, it was not because she did not possess unbound- nsBtiranoe. Some women get through this worm on their nerve, and this woman was one of them. New iork Herald. Fred DouKlaaa' Latest Washinston Correspondence New York Sun. Frederick Douulass is the I'resideut of a company just organized for the purpose of establishing a large manufacturing enterprise near Newport News, Va., building a town and giving employment tn vnnnf colored men and women. Mr. Drtiifrlriss snid todav: "I ham but one ambition now in life. and that is that my career shall be rnunriert out bv the oromotion ot a grand industrial enterprise in which my people can be engaged. I recognize the tact and have so recoenized it since emancipation, that the people of my race should seek tn enter nil the n venues of industry, and inllv those of a inechauical nature. In the South since the war. colored people have been engaged mainly in but two things, politics and agriculture, and while I do not advise them to abandon either, 1 believe that they should broaden their held of mdustry.

Were Mr. Watson's bill to pass, prop erty in Durham would not be worth 25 cents in the dollar, and many other towns in the State would suffer in like manner. The banks of the town are held together by these important industries Cleveland and tbe Boatb. From the Detroit Michigan News. What Mr. Cleveland's personal theory was in the selection of somanv Southern men for his cabinet it is difficult to divine, but there are indications in it that, like all men with large opportunities, lie was consciously or unconsciously, in tbe grasp of that great "power that makes for righteousness." The successful gov ernment of this country depends upon the ignoring both of classes and of sec tions; or the reconition of all classes and sections, which is the same thing. JUDGMENTS.

Mot tn am Normal condition. From the Greenville (S. C.) News. There used to be in Greenville a citizen of bibulous habits who appeared on his wedding day rather drunken than usual. When somebody asked him the reason for this proceeding, he gave a very sensi ble explanation. The prospective bride, he said, had never seen him sober and should he appear to her in that condi tion be feared she might fail to recognize him. South Carolina is in about the same fix. If Governor Tillman is not making a row of some kiud, or suing or black guarding or threatening somebody or in some way performing in his great part of Andrew Jackson we do not feel natur al and fail to recognize ourselves. There has now been profound peace in the State four or five days and we can hardly real ize that we are in South Carolina. Wbat Does Tbis Mean? From the Cleveland Ledger. Mr. Smith continues to take damage cases, but the railroads seeing in him a likely sort of a lawyer sometimes employ him. Thus he is gradually dropping out of one kind of busitiess into another. Of course, all the railroads in Georgia are glad that he is to be in the Cabinet. They take much patriotic pride in him, and Mr. Cleveland has relieved them f a perplexing situation. AND HOT AT Harrison's Havlnsrs. Washington cor. Cincinnati Tribune. When Mr. Hariison came to Washing ton as president bis friends knew that he was not a rich man, indeed far from it. He was never a money-maker and out of bis $50,000 a year salary as pres ident be bat not been able to save much, for Mrs. Harrison's illness cost him quite $30,000. Nothing that medical skill could suggest was left undone to save her life, and I am told that tbe expenses of tbe last few weeks of her illness were nearly $1,000 a week. It is said on reliable authority that Mr. Harrison's income on what money be has saved will not be over $2,50O a year when be returns to Indianapolis. VMllsirsi oC Atlanta ocletv. Atlanta Cor.
