Notwithstanding the great enthu siasm which has been expressed in Indianapolis over the nomination of Mr. Harrison, the more conservative people believe that that gentleman wiil not be able to carry the State. Mr. John A. Finch, a prominent law yer of Indianapolis and a politician of some note, who h at present vis iting in New York, said yesterday to a Times reporter: "The temperance people are dissat isfied with the Republican platform, and the Indianapolis News, a power ful indeoendent tariff reform ReDub Mican journal that supported bynum for C ongress, while it supports Flar- rison for the Presidenc', denounces the Republican platform unsparingly, and thus its own power is neutralized. Gresbam and ex-Governor Porter are:. in my opinion the only men that can heat Tluirman in Indiana, and C eve- I i i . i na is even more popular man are either of them. I think that Mr. Porter will be forced to the nomina tion for Governor to boost Harrison, who failed to carry the State in 1S76. Mr. Porter is strongly opposed to this, however, as he had Presidential aspirations himself, and he does not -. to shovel coal into the cellar of TT . ... ... .. Mr. Harrison if he can avoid it with out administering his own death-blow. That is a weak hope, but the only one whereby it would be rendered possible for Mr. Harrison to carry the State of Indiana." New York Times. AN ORIGINAL PICTURE OF SCOTT PARTIN. The News and Observer of the 5th - r ' T T" T .1 savs: xuaj. . i. ieatnery yesier- dav presented 11s with a copy of the outhern Illustrated Age," formerly published in this city by R. T. isdmm. The paper bears date of gust 14th, 1875, anc contains a I v i picture of Scott Partin taken shortly before the crime. It is said to be a cmr( Uk-pnass of the criminal at the cS time. In this picture Partin is rep resented as having a full face, with very thick, rather droopy lips. Both eyes are squinted, the right more than the left, and have a languid and lazy appearance. Underneath both eyes the flesh is very full. The picture as a whole seems to differ in all respects from the prisoner here. The differences do not appear to be such as would have been wrought by time, but are differences of constitu tion. There are some, however, who New " are of opinion that there is similarity between the picture and the prisoner. The issue of the "Southern Illustrated Age" in which the picture appears says: "That Scott Partin has not a prepossessing face may be seen by a reference to the accurate likeness which we give. Those that know him well say that his manner and deportment when in company are (not such as to mitigate the unfa Ivorabie impression which his sinister and sensual cast of countenance makes upon a stranger."' A SEINE FISHERMAN FROM. HEARD Smalls X Roads. June 27, ?SS. Editor FisiiERjiAX &, Farmer. Dear Sir : Your paper of June 2 2d contains a letter from W. L. Xixion endorsing II. A. Bond for the Legislature. Now, Mr. Editor, in all fairness to Mr. Nixon, I ask why is this? It is because Mr. Bond has done all that he cr,n for the Dutch Nets and tried to cut the throat of every man that has the courage to fish a Seine on Chowan river. AVe, the fishermen of Seines, and friends of such, are opposed to any man going to the Legislature who is in anv way interested in the fishing business. The Seines have no pro- tection on Chowan river, except what the Dutch Net men and Mr. Pruden to back them are willing to give us. The Albemarle Sound i.3 protected, Chowan river is not. Mr. IiMitor, if 3011 wilF'jake a trip up Chowan river and see where Mr. Nixon has his nets, you will at once see whv he is in such eaer favor for Mr. Bond. 1 am in favor of Luther AY. Parker whose integrity and fairness to all classes can not be doubted and who can pole more votes than any other man in Chowan county. Is there such a law that all net stakes, etc., in Chowau river shall be taken up b3' June first? If such is the case why has the Grand Jury not looked into the matter. Signed. A Farmer, Fisherman of Seine and Nets and a Subscriber to 3'our Paper. DO FLYING FISH FLY It has long been a question with scientists whether flvimx fish actually fiy, or are only carried forward through the air by the impulse which they gave to their bodies while still in the water. Prof. Mobins expresses an authoritative opinion, and claims that they are totally unable to fly, for the reason that the muscles which move the pectoral fins are not suf ficiently larire to bear the weight of their bodies in the air. In birds the average weight of the muscles which are concerned in the movement of the wings is one-sixth that of the entire body; in bats one thirteenth, while in the flying fish it is only one-thirty-fifth. He affirms, therefore, that the impulse to the propulsion of the fish ! . .......... I in tue air is delivered wmie they are 1 still in the water. Ex. an - AMERICAN ENTERPRISE. No invention of the nineteenth century has worked a greater revolu tion in household economj- or con ferred more of a benefit on humanity than the sewing machine. The first productions were crude and uncouth in the extreme, and it was :eserved for American skill and ingenuity to bring forth a machine of anv practical xalue. ! In order to appreciate the great advancement which has taken place it is only necessary to compare one ily of the machines built during the ' infancy of the invention with one of: the latest improved Light-Running' New Home." j Ali the really good points contained in other machines have been utilized ' in its construction. Many new im provements and devices have also been added, the result of which is a machine as nearly perfect as it is possible to make one. For simplicity, durability, ease of management and capacity for work, the "Light-Running New Home" has no rival, and the happy possessor of one ma3 rest assured that he or she has tiie very best the world affords.

She says he will have an electoral ticket in every State. She Is more confident even than in 188 1 of her election.

The Tobacco Plant ladies, without whom no country is ..iv- i t. 4. worth living in, have a right to be kept posted on the news. The Plant rises to announce tnat tne d-stic must go. From the New York World we get this statement which carries its own interpretation: The bustle must go. -The upper circles of Washington society have been thrown into a flutter of excitement by the announcement that Mrs. Cleve land has abandoned the bustle. Last week she drove in and received a few friends at the White House. The ladies who called could hardly believe the evidence of their own cy es when they observed the absence of the customary ent're "t busLe. They looked d again, however, and1 . r ' . . , i, iir nrst impressions had saw mat ineir nrsi impression's nau beeii correct Mrs. Cleveland was, , i5 Xt , , ' bustleness.
