Feb. 23, 1894 Prosperity is returning with out regard to the contention of the politicians. Senator Ransom's pc litlcal and personal enemies are trying to get up a fight against him for the Senate. Let the income tax pass the Senate. The people demand it. The rich oppose. Their sub sidized organs oppose. It is announced that Ex-President Harrison is to marry the widow of the late Lelaud Stan ford, the rich millionair. Georgia papers are talking much about hog and hominy. Let that be the schedule for North Carolina for 1894. There are now students at the University from fifteen States. The medical class has eighteen members ; the law class fifty nine. Is it true that the President is withholding nominations to con trol Senators compelling a vote for his favorites or no favors? It is given as true. The returns for 1894, shows the Episcopal church to have 566,812 communicants in the United States an increase of i7f9S7 fr the year. George W. Ferris who con structed the great wheel at the World's Fair, has a plan to travel and exhibit a complete reproduc tion of the great show. It will be in all details exact. Ballot-box stuffing in New York and Brooklyn has received a knocked-out blow, from which it will hardly be able to rally in time to come up to the scratch at the next election says the Balti more Herald. Associate Justice Walter Clark, in the Agricultural Department's bulletin, makes a strong attack upon the peanut trust, Gov. Carr also makes a hit at the so-called peanut "factories,"' which the trust operates. A recent plea to be appointed Post Master of a certain town was indeed a unique one. The appli cant wanted the office on account of inability to make a living writing poetry. If this is a good plea there won't be half enough post offices to go 'round. If the farmer is not an educat ed man he should educate his sous to a theoretical as well as practical knowledge of farming. As true farming includes stock raising, horticulture and the growing of all crops required for use, there is a wide field for learn ing more. In fact, of all indus tries in which education gives the best results to a class,farming is in the lead.1 Carolinian. We congratulate President Cleveland on his selection of Sen ator White to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and on his having at last broken away from New York entanglements in that matter. The wisdom of his course finds illustration in the fact that when he left New York his appointee was confirmed in a few moments, and doubtless with the unanimous concurrence of the Senate. It is an appointment not only proper in itself, but be cause of the acquaintance Senator White has with the Civil law, which is the basis of the Louisi ana law, is eminently wise. We applaud the President's se lection. And the more so, since it puts an end to what has been a great scandal.

"Well, judge, that question requires some serious thinking." Fliegende Blaetter. TWO OLD CRONIES. Of the above celebrated farce comedy, in three acts, the New port News correspondent of the Norfolk Landmark says: "The amateur performance given by our home jtalent last evening at Johnson's Hall was indeed a 'most enjoyable treat. The farce selected washe "Two Old Cronies' Dr. Smith and Mr. Wilson assumed the leading parts of the Two Old Cronies, and the characters were sustained in every particular. Miss Nan nie Braxton as the governess was exceptionally fine, and her delin iation of this character was more than well received. The six widows.essayedby Misses Nclms, Southall, Fuller, Taylor, Smith and Whitney, brought "down the house. Dude Charley by Thorn toirjMayre was artistically render ed. The court house scene was a burlesque on the Newport News Police Justice and was highly appreciated for its capital hits. Bob Bently and Sam Arch ibald as the detectives and B. S. Robinson as the drunken tramp were more than well received. Miss Dawson as the servant girl entered into the spirit of that character so well that many a house wife was seen to smile and applaud. Dick Kingston as the bootblack was full of slang and slop. The marine scene was a happy effect a faithful picture of a New York shipping dock. The ship was commanded by V. B. Barclay and the nautical ex pression given by the command er were full of capital hits. The play was well received and the house hill to overflowing. A Modern Samson. Cherokee county, Ala , has a muscu lar prodigy. His name is Joe Chaney, and he weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, lie was arrested recently and incarcerated in the jail at Centre charged with burglarizing a store at Leesburg, Ala. As soon as they put him in jail he broke the door open and came out. They then chained him .sup posedly fast to the floor, and a power ful chain was locked close about his neck and fastened to the floor, but be fore the jailor could arise to survey the job the prisoner had burst the chains asunder and stood erect also. Some of his feats of skill and strength arc bursting- dungeon locks, pulling chains apart, drawing- iron spikes from the walls and breaking- bars. It is said he can break the bars of the dun geon windows as easily as if they were toothpicks and can pull a heavy chain in twain with the ease that an ordi nary man can a silken cord. It is easy to buy a gun of any de scription, and the most reputable citi zens would not be ashamed to be seen purchasing- the ,nost wicked looking knife ever made; but who would know where to g-et a slungshot, or a jimmie, or a device for drilling into a safe, or any of the many tools used by the pro fessional burglar in the pursuit of his calling? There probably aw places in many large cities where these tilings are made and sold to the users, but such places are scarce. Once in awhile the police l'md such a factory, and then tilings go hard for the proprietors. It may seem a little strange to learn that most of the tools used in burglaries are made by mechanics who are looked upon as respectable men in the com munity. When a burglar wants any particular tool made he goes to a me chanic who can do the job, and aya him perhaps five times what it is actu ally worth for making the tool and keeping- still about it. A Gir.L nine 3-ears of ag-e, residing- in the town of t. Johusville, Montgom ery county, N. Y., died a few daj-s ag-o in a peculiar manner. She had been ill for some time, the exact cause of her malady being- unknown. She be gan coughing-, and finally coughed up an animal about live inches in length, resembling- a lizard in some respects, and with a thick membrane running around its middle. The membrane caught in the child's throat, and it re quired great effort to pull out the ani mal. The child died from exhaustion. The animal had clearly formed head, eyes, tong-ue and body and is believed by the physicians in charge to have been alive until killed in removing- it from the child's throat. Among the decisions handed down in the court of appeals of Missouri re cently was one declaring- that a debt contracted in an option deal cannot be collected by law, as such speculative dealing- is g-ambling- and illeg-al. The points sustained were that the debtor was not a bona fide purchaser; was not prepared to receive and did not expect to receive the actual grain, and that if in a contract for futur" delivery the only purpose is to speculate on the dif ference between buying- and selling prices, such a contract is a wager and therefore null and void.

Lare size 50c. and 51.00 0 We are informed by an eastern con temporary that there are over fifteen thousand brass bands in this country. There is scarcely a town which does not possess such an organization, for weal or for woe usually for woe. Usually the merchants and wealthy men contribute toward furnishing the instruments. Frequently the' wish they had not done so. The brass band furnishes the music of th.? people. It has always been and always will be so. The orchestra appeals more to those of higher musical culture. This brass bandism, if such an expression can be allowed, was engendered by the mili tary bands during the war, and the late i'at (lilmore, the father of brass band music in America, brought it al most to perfection. A isookski.i.kr's catalogue recently published in Birmingham, England, gives a careful description of a por trait of Lord Cornwallis, painted in lToS, i:i which he is represented stand ing on an eminence overlooking the toivn and straits of Gibraltar, "while ttretchin,- away in the background several ships are steaming along the straits and emitting huge clouds of smoke." It was one of these steam ships probably that carried Lord Corn wallis back to England after the sur render at York town. The supreme court of Indiana re cently made a decision which declares the saloon, even though licensed by the state, a nuisance, and that the pro prietors thereof are liable for damages for injury to adj acent property depre ciated, either for sale or rental, by the presence of the saloon. If the courts of all the states should so declare the s;:loon would get a black eye, for it does ju-1 that wherever placed. Even the regular toper prefers to raise his family some distance away from the saloon. I r is not generally known that the United States owns seventy-five islands in the North and South Pacific. They are nearly all within twelve degrees of the equator, north and south, and are principally guano islands of small size, which have been taken possession of by 'Americans. The American coast ing laws apply to them, and foreign vessels are restricted from carrying guano from them to the United States.

The I'isheuman & Farmer would like to have news from all parts of the county, and we urge our readers to re port to us every item of interest. But, remember, when writing for the press, you should waste no time on introduc tions. Don't begin laying out your subject like a Dutch flower garden, or telling your motives for writing. The keynote, if possible, should be struck in the very first sentence. A dull be gining often damns an article; a spicy one whets the appetite and commends what follows to both editor and reader. Above all, stop when you are done. Don't let the ghost of your thought wander about after the death of the body. Don't waste a moment's time in vindicating your production, against editors or critics, but expend your en crgies in writing something which shall be its own vindication. And, never fail to sign your name not for puolicatiou, 4uz that the editor might know who it is writing. IT MAY DO AS MUCH FOR YOU. Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving:, III. writes tUat he had a Severe Kiduey trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so called Kid ney cure3 but without any good resulL. About a year ago he began use of Elec trie Bitters and found relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure of all K'dney and Liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One trial will prove our statement. Price only 50c. for large bottle. At V. I.

An drews, city editor of the News-Observer -Chronicle, and F L. Merritt, of the staff of the North Carolinian. Mr An drews attacked Mr. Merrit on Fayette ville street and used a cowhide. The cause of the difficulty was a statement published by Merrit regarding a for mer trouble (to which Andrews took exception. The occuraiice drew a large crowd and the parties were soon sep e rated.

Barbers, it is said, feel the hard times like everybody else. Many of their best customers have taken to shaving themselves, or are letting their beards grow. Comparatively few men, too, now have their hair merely trimmed. They have it clipped so short that it needs cutting but half as often. The journeymen find that tips have become smaller and less fre quent. Of the seven million ounces of qui nine annually produced in the world the United States uses three million one hundred thousand, or nearly one half of the entire output. There are eighteen cinchona or quinine fac tories in the world. This com prises one establishment in Holland, two in England, two in Italy, three France, four in the United State;, r.a.i six in Germany. English noblemen are the only one:; in Europe who ever wear coronets on their heads, and the sole occasion when they do so is at the coronation of the sovereign.

In the smaller cities, and even in small towns, the policeman nowa days wears a uniform like that of his city brother. He may not have the city brother's repose of manner and ccd! jauntiness of bearing, but his clothes are strictly up to date.

When a friend turns out not to be a trump, then is the time to discard him. Hospital surgeons in New York say that ninety-nine per cent, of the oper ations for cataract are. now successfuL The other one per cent, would not be unsuccessful but for the fact that some patients come handicapped with impurities of the blood that increase the difficulties following the operation. The removal of cataract has ceased to be esteemed a very serious matter for either patient or surgeon, and there are many persons going about their daily work with the crystalline lens of one or both eyes replaced by spectacle lenses. Dr. S. C. McCarrt, the new superin tendent of the Kansas state insane asylum, has instituted a series of hypnotic experiments on the patients. Assisted by Dr. Flint, who is skilled in hypnotism, he made experiments on twenty patients, taken at random, of whom only two showed any symptoms of susceptibility, and these were only slight. Dr. Flint claims that insane people cannot be hypnotized, and that the hypnotic power can in no way affect incurables. Only those whose minds are slightly affectod can be brought under its influence. Another crime may be laid to the charge of the cigarette. A Chicago youth has been rendered insane by in dulgence in the habit, and in a fit of frenzy attempted to murder his entire family with an ax. If it had not been for the fact that he had been ruined physically as well as mentally by the habit, an awful tragedy would have been recorded. Fortunateky, he was easily disarmed, after having inflicted slight injury. TnERn is still a great number of blank pennies circulating through the medium of the slot machines. A considerable portion of the pen nies taken from these machines are worthless brass counters. They are, of course, not counterfeits, as they do not purport to be coins. The slot machine owners lose a great deal of tooney through this form of fraud. Twenty-five years ago asbestos was a curiosity. At the present day it is the basis of a gigantic industry, the principal centers of which are in Can ada and Italy The Best Medicine. J. O. Wilson, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas, thus speaks of .ayer's Pills : ' Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I ever tried; and, in my judgment, no better general remedy could be devised. I have used them in my family and recommended them to my friends and employes for more than twenty years. To my certain knowledge, many cases of the following complaints have been completely and Permanently Cured by the use of Ayer's Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb ague, bilious fever, sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dys pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I know that a moderate use of Ayer's Pills, continued for a few days or weeks, a3 the nature of the complaint required, would be found an absolute cure for the disorders I have named above." "I have been selling medicine for eight years, and I can safely say that Ayer's Pills give better satisfaction than any other Pill I ever sold." J. J. Perry, Spottsylvania C. II., Va.
