Tiro Edged Sicord is a new religious paper jnst started at Fort Worth, Tex. 11. Miles is editor. Col. Ghas. R. Jones is again on deck. He has bought the Hornet and is running it in the name of the Observer. Wo publish this week an article from Mr. W. 11. Quick, which is lengthly, hut well worth the reading. Ho touches two of the vital points in reference to our welfare as a race: land aud morals. Read his letter. Wilmington has voted a subscrip tion of §50,000 to the extension of the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad and the Wilmington & Onslow Railroad. The C. F. & Y. V. will begin work soon to extend their line from Fayetteville to Wilmington. It will be noticed that we have a good list of correspondents. The principal topics of their writing has been the mental, moral, and material growth of our race. Miss Miss Mc- Lean, our best, after treating these subjects, gives us the every day oc currences of her town and locality. We will be glad to hear from other friends. The best way to raise a family is to go in the country, buy a little farm and make your own support at home. Y’our children will grow up free from the mauy vices and temptations of the city, and with that spirit of indepen dence and freedom that should charac terize every child. Buy land, build homes, build character, and wc will soon be one of the most powerful united nations on the globe. The Senate of the United States has passed a bill providing for com pulsory education of certain tribes of Indians. Why is this done? Is an uncivilized Indian away off in one corner more dangerous than illiterate, half-civilized citizens with the ballot in his hand that will decide the desti ny of this great country. The Indian is ruled by the bayonet. The igno rant men of the South rule the coun try. Should not Congress give some attention to the education of the ig norant masses in the South ? Our Democratic neighbors give themselves much concern about the management of the Republican party and our differences. Some of us do not understand why that is, hut we can easily see the cause: These democratic editors and local bosses have uo more to do with their own party management than wc, and arc not allowed to dabble, as everything has been arranged. Their candidate for president was named a year ago and they dare not suggest a change when they want it; but being disposed to meddle they interfere with our busi ness. The two young white men now con fined in our jail for burglary are charged with highway robbery also. They blacked their faces and entered at night, the house of an old man and while one stood with drawn pistol and made the inmates of the house hold up their hands, the othei; ransacked the house. The face blacking was done to palm it off on some poor Ne groes. After leaving this house they way laid an old colored man and robbed hint of bis money. A warrant was here for one of the young men from South Carolina charging him with stealing down there They seem to be pretty hard cases. Their trials will be watched with much interest as was the young man Green. As we have before expressed, the burglary law of North Carolina may refer to Negroes only. If that be true, it should be known and white i gentlemen should not be put at the in convenience of lying in jail. Let the law bo understood and administered impartially to all. NEW ENGLAND LETTER. Onr Newspapers Should he Supported— Some Argument In their Favor. 11. Thousands never think once the inconvenience they put an editor to when they fail for six months and a year to pay up their subscriptions. One says “ho has plenty of subscri bers; what little I owe him doesn’t amount to much.” True, it doesn’t amount to a great deal but it takes these small mites to make large sums, and where you mako that remark and fail to send in your dues probably a hundred are doing a similiar thing, and so the enterprise that is dependent upon the amount of subscribers for support is weakened aud is very often compelled to suspend. But you say ‘‘send me the paper regularly.” Well, if you will send your subscrip tion he will not only give you a paper regularly but one that is spicy, rich and interesting. But you say he lias whole columns of advertisements; they will keep his paper running.” In deed advertisements arc good when ever the editor can secure them but do you not know that business men will not advertise very extensively in any paper unless it has a wide circulation! The number of adver rnents depends very largely upon this fact and if you want tho editors “ads” to run his paper then give him a wide circulation and this can best bo done by those who are already subscribers paying their subscriptions and getting others to take the paper. But you say “I would take his paper but I never see anything in it about my town and people.” Well the col umns of the paper are open and to some extent free for correspondence and if you would drop tho editor a postal card occasionally wo are quite sure he would not consign it to the waste basket every time. But you say “the paper dwells too much on religious themes.” Os course there are strict ly religious papers and there are others that admit into their columns news coming from any respectable source be it religious, educational, social or political. But you say “I don’t like the editor of that paper; ho and I arc not on friendly terms.” You may not like him personally but that doesn’t argue that he is not a good editor simply because you do not like him. Where you have aught against him there are hundreds who admire him and men and women too who are capable of deciding what it takes to constitute true gentility. It is hardly right for you to cease taking a good news paper and in many instances boycot the editor, your peculiar dislikes to the contrary notwithstanding. Al though you may dislike him he may give the public a good readable paper and may furnish you with just the information desired. You say again that “I would take it hut Mr. A. doesn’t take it, and he is a man of good judgment.” AVe admit that Mr. A. is a man of considerable fore thought and discretion but is Mr. A’s opinion and judgment to be taken in preference to a host of others who deem it right to support the paper ? Is Mr. A to be the criterion for a whole country ! Must the community wait to receive directions from Mr A. before it can act! Abosh ! Away with such nonsensical argument. Go and pay your subscription and feel free. G. L. B. HENDERSON’S BARBER SHOP ! THE OLDEST AND BEST. Experienced and polite workmen always ready to wait on customers.

Tiialma. MVa Go , Baltimore, Md. Ou a Louisiana Sugar Plantation. Tho marvelous processes by which the wand of the planter king is transmuted into rich casks of snow white or golden sugar, by means of steam boilers, strain ers, vacuum pans, mixers and centrifu gals, has been described many limes over, and is a thing not to be done by a novice without abusing and misus ing technical terms. The raw juice is a dark, dirty looking liquid, a hideous gray in color. As it undergoes all the scientific processes of the most approved methods of sugar j making, it runs a short chromatic scale in color, changing from gray to a green ish brown and then to shades of red-yel low, and finally emerging from the cen trifugals like drifts of snow, white, fine and beautiful to look upon. The refuse of all the strainings is a thick mass, like slimy, gray soft soap. It is thrown out in heaps behind the sugar house, whence it is used as a fertilizer, but as it lies there it takes on a most royal robe of mold, showing exquisite, brilliant salmon and rose and bronze green hues, something, I should fancy, that would run a micro scopist mad with delight and curiosity.— Catharine Colo in New Orleans Picayune. Tho Schoolboy’s Cold Lunch. Another evil is tho cold lunch which must be taken by most of the children, for the hour’s intermission at noon scarcely allows even those residing near the school to go homo, dine and return. Every housekeeper knows how dificult it is to provide variety in cold lunches. Children often take the same things to school day after day, till they tire of them. Food whicli lias been done up in a tin box, or wrapped in napkins, is not apt to look, or smell, or taste very nice. Tho child is not tempted, and its noon meal, which should be the principal one of the day, is made a poor and light one. Perhaps it is eked out with pickles, sweets and cakes of doubtful composition, purchased at tho catch penny store al ways to be found near a school house. If during the winter months an inter mission of an hour and a half or even of two hours were given, as is done in many Swiss and German schools, most of tho children could go home and take the hot, nourishing midday meal which many doctors consider necessary to health.—E. M. Hardinge in Tho Epoch. A Japanese Dinner Party. The etiquette of a Japanese dinner party is rather entertaining. As soon as the guests are seated on the mats, two, and sometimes three, small low tables are brought to each. On the one immediately in front of him the guest finds seven little covered bowls. On the second tablo will be five other bowls. The third, a very small table, should hold three bowls. Take up the chopsticks with the right hand, remove the cover of the rice howl with the same hand, transfer it to the left, and place it to the left of the table. Then remove the cover of the bean soup and place it on the rice cover. Next take up the rice bowl with the right hand, pass it to the left, and eat two mouthfuls with the chopsticks, and then drink once from the soup l>owl. And so on with the other dishes—never omitting to eat some rice between each mouthful of meat, fish and vegetables, unless you forget which is your mouth and which is your right hand, or have become so giddy that you cannot tell your left hand from a chopstick or your rice bowl from your third table.—Chicago News. Au Enormous Appetite. Joel Parker, tho Democratic ex-gov emor of New Jersey, who died recently, weighed 300 pounds, and there is little doubt that his death was hastened by his enormous appetite. Ho always gratified his tastes to the uttermost, and never stopped to inquire whether an article of focxl was good for him or not. He was the wonder of the waiters at every hotel and restaurant where he dined. He inva riably went twice through the hill of fare. lie was the last to finish at a din ner, yet so admirable seemed his diges tion that after out eating all the other guests he could make a capital speech, full of unctuous humor and sound com mon sense. He drank very little, water being his favorite beverage, and there fore his head was always clear, even if his stomach was overloaded.—Chicago News. Overpowering a Superstitious Walter. A traveler obtained a satisfactory breakfast at a southern hotel in an inge nious manner. Having called for differ ent items on the bill of fare with the un failing result of hearing “all gone, sail,” he fixed a stem look upon the colored waiter and exclaimed in deep tones: “Do you know where you will go when you die?” Tho waiter trembled, and did not reply, but he turned away, and with dis patch brought out a smoking breakfast of chicken and otjier features of a “good meal. It seems that he had reserved these delicacies for himself, but had been touched by superstition to produce them for the traveler.—Chicago Times. Ktlwin Arnold Knighted. Queen Victoria has paid a well de served tribute to journalism in the per son of Edwin Arnold, who has just l>een created knight commander.of the Order of the Indian Empire. Sir Edwin has been for a period of almost twenty-five years managing editor of The Ixmdon Daily Telegraph, and he has attained world wide fame as the author of the groat epic poem, “The Light of Asia,” which has gone through more than twenty editions in this country and in England. Like many other prominent Englishmen he is married to a charming American lady.—New York World. 81c Transit Gloria Mumli. All the statues and portraits of 31. Jules Grevy, late president of the republic, which were, according to custom, in tho private rooms and offices of the various administrative departments, are fast be ing removed. In a few days effigies and presentments of M. Carnot will occupy the places vacated byjhose of the Lite chief of the state, A sculptor has l>een appointed to model a bust of President Carnot, from which others will bo made. —Paris Cor.
