We have many instances where
those who are regarded as warit-
ngin that much admired quali
fy, bravery, have, when the oc
casion offered itBelf, surprised
all who knew them by brave
and ncble deeds. Thd follow
ing account of a young man who
lived in the fated town of John
stown, Pa., is a striking example
of this character:
Edward C. Willis, a young
foundryman of Cambria, whom
uo one suspected of having more
than ordinary courage, when the
flood was at its height and peo
ple were floating down the rush
ing torrent in hundreds, rushed
to his boat, and senseless to the
pleadings of his wife and rela
tives., shoved his frail craft out
into the angry current, gliding
alongside a floating roof upon
which a woman and two child
ren were kneeling with blanch
ed faces and stony stare. He
skillfully evaded the obstruc
tion that every minute threaten
ed to crush the craft and lifting
the terrorized creatures to his
boat shot across to a point of
safety. A shout of enthusiasm
swelled from the throng that
lined the bank, but unmoved by
their plaudits young Willis re
peated the perilous journey
seven times until twenty-two
lives had been saved-by his in
domstajle energy. Next day,
when most of Johnstown was
still under water, Willis ascend
ed the stream to the desolate
city and again distinguished
himself by many acts of hero
Ism and endurance. A tribute
too great cannot be paid to his
noble character. But, after all,
among tho heroes that these
strange scenes developed he is
only one of many.

The Fayetteville canning fac
tory was organized last week
with Dr. II. W. Lilly as Presi
dent, and an excellent Board of
Directors. The capital stock is
85,000, with the privilege of in
creasing to 830,000. The shares
were put at $25.00 each, thus en
abling men of small means to
take stock.
- Capt. J. L. 4utry, of Shepard,
was in the city last Friday. The
Captain is much esteemed here,
where ho has many friends.
At the meeting of the Board
of Magistrates last week Major
A. A. McKethan resigned as a
county commissioner, and Mr.
Neill R. Blue was elected to fill
the vacancy. Pressing business
duties compelled Major McKe
than to resign. lie was one of
the best commissioners the
county ever had.
The tax levy was fixed at 1
for State and courty purposes,
the poll tax at 2.30. Capt. S.
C. Rankin, Cols. Win. Alderman
and Duncan Shaw were re-elected
as the Board of Education,
ana uoi. v. S. Cook was re-elected
as.chairman of the Board of
Magistrates.
Mr. James D. McNeill has sold
his saw-mill in this city to a
Northern syndicate, who will
greatly enlarge the operations.
The price paid was 5,500. The
mill is located on the bank of
the river, and most of the tim
ber is floated down from the up
per Cape Fear, much of it com
ing from Harnett county.
The work on the piers for the
railroad bridge across the river
is progressing rapidly. The
work. of excavation for the pier
in the middle of th river has
commenced. This is the most
troublesome of the fivf.
Maj. B. C. Gorham, oi this
city and 'Miss Lizzie Riahton
were married at New Berne last
Thursday and arrived here that
night. The bride has been a
teacher in the Graded School
here for several years.
A delightful picuic was had
at Carver's Falls, several miles
North of this city, Thursday
evening. About fourteen cou
ples .participated, going out late
in the afternoon and returning
by moonlight. They were chap

The farmers continue to bring
reports jf fine crops. The pros

with the farmers and hope with
them that the harvest will be
abundant.
The hotel men say that trav
el is very light now in this sec

male College are two things
desired and needed in this city.
Our citizens are ready to co-op
erate with the right men. Fay
etteville is the place where the
Odd Fellows ought to establish
their orphan asylum. The arse
nal grounds would be a beauti
ful location." It overlooks the
city and the owners will proba

The carpenter shops of the
Express Steamboat Company
w-re destroyed by fire on Mon
day night. It was an incendia
ry fire, and it is thought thit
the same scoundrel who burned
the warehouse of another com
pany a week or two ago set fire
to the shops. It is to be hoped
that he will "be caught. Detec

The editor of the Observer,
with his indomitable pluck and
vim, proposes to Taise tho sum
of 81,000 to establish a Confed
erate Veteran's Camp during
the Centennial in November,
and asks for subscriptions of
one dollar or more. He starts
the ball with a subscription.
Now, since it is certain that
Hoc Jefferson Davis win be
here, hundreds of ex-Confeder
ates will desire to meet him and
accommodations will be slight,
this camp will be a necessity.
Rooms are already being enga
ged at the hotels. We hope the
press of the State will give this
worthy effort publicity and fa
vorable comment. ; All sub

to Z. W;. Whitehead, this city.

Maxton next Friday to attend
the District Convention of the
Association. The meeting will
be in session three days, frotn
June 14th to 16th, inclusive.
The Association here is in a
most gratifying condition, the
membership being about two
hundred and fiftj of the young
men of the city. Tha General
Secretary will soon be here to
take charge of the work.
The Centennial Committee of
fifty met in the rooms of 5the
Cotton Exchange last Friday
af ternooD and appointed the sub
committees. An attempt was made last
Friday night to break into the
stoes of Messrs. A. Moore and
C. M. Watson, on Market Square.
The policeman on that beat run
against them, but they escaped.
A special meeting of the
County Alliance is called to

committee from the directors of
the canning factory is to meet
them to make plans to dispose
of the fruit crop.
AVONlliKSOF THE UNIVERSE
What assertion will make one
believe that in one second of
time one beat of the pendulum
of a clock, a ray of light travels
over 152,000 miles, and would
therefore perform the tour of
the world in about the same
time that it reauires to wink
with our eyelids, and in much
less than a swift runner occu
pies in taking a single step.
What mortal can be made to
believe, without demonstration,
that the sun is almost a million
times larger than the earth?
And that, although so remote
from us, a cannon-ball shot di
rectly towards it, and maintain
ing its full speed, would be 20
years in reaching it? Yet it
effects the earth by its attrac
tion in an appreciable instant
of time.
Who would not ask for de
monstration when told that a
gnat's wing, in its ordinary flight,
beats many hundred time3 in a
second, or that there exists ani
mated and regularly organized
beings, many thousands of
wnose bodies laid together
would not extend an inch?
But what are these to the as
tonishing truths which modern
optical inquiries have disclosed,
which teach that every point of
a medium through which a ray
of light is affected with a suc
cession of periodical movements
regularly recurriDg at equal in
tervals, no less than five hund
red millions of times in a single
second. That it is by such
movements communicated to
the nervss of the eye that we
see. JNay, more, tnat it is tne
difference in the frequency of
their recurrence which affects
us with the sense of the diversi
ty of color ? That, for instance,
in acquiring the sensation of
redness, our eyes are affected
four hundred and eighty-two
millions of millions of times ;
of yellowness, five hundred and
forty-two millions of millions
of times; and. of violet, seven
hundred and seven millions of
millions of times per second?
Do not such, things sound more
like the ravings of madmen than
the sober conclusions of people
in their waking senses? They
are, nevertheless, conclusions
to which any one may most cer
tainly arrive . who will only be
at the trouble of examining the
chain of reasoning by which
they have been obtained.
The people of the United
States have virtually monopo

While there are a number of
other countries 'not so great, it

SOUTHERN' WOMEN DECO
RATE THE GRAVES OF
THE BLUE AND THE
GRAY.
This Act Turns the Tide of Popular
Feeling.
It was, I think, Church, who
during our civil war, painted the
picture -of "Our Banner in the
Sky." Loyal people everywhere
straightway went mad over it.
It showed a pale sunrise, barred
with crimson clouds, - parting
over an area of sky still dark-
blue with night, and gemmed
with stars. From a mountain
below towered a dead pine that
supplied the shaft of the flag.
As with all popular rages, this
one palled upon our taste, by-and-by.
It was sharply criticis
ed as unnatural and impossible,
laur.hed at as a trick of art, and
finally went out of fashion.
I had not seen a reprint, even in
a shop window, for six taonths,
when, on April 6th, 1865, 1 threw
open my window before sunrise,
to let in the morning freshness,
and beheld the picture itself!
Against a dim blue black-
ground, streaked with rose, the
slender gray spire of a venera
ble church shot high toward
heaven, and from the summit
streamed straight and steady,
the "Stars and Stripes." So
straight, that the flag might
have been painted upon the dim
blue with Venus, mild and lus
trous, in the lead of the fading
train of night-star; so steady,
that not a fold crossed the sur
face of the level bunting.
It was the embodiment of the
Nation's sublime triumph; the
visible expression of her solemn
joy in a restored Union; the har
binger of a reign of peace and
good-will. Hour and scene wero
never to be forgotten. The city
had not awakened from slumber;
the still heavens seemed, to my
thrilled imagination, bending to
join in the matin-service of holy
praise held by the old church
and Our Banner in the Sky.
The Great Calm after a four
years' night of storm, and wreck,
and blood, was only the begin
ning of the real end of the wa r.
How often during the decade
that followed the evacuation of
the Confederate capital and the
declaration of peace, did our
hearts fail us for fear that the
gaping wound left by the fratri
cidal strife would never heal
over at least in this, our gene
ration? How often we heard
from one side and the other,
muttered through clenched
teeth, the ominous reminder,
"The blocd of the conflict i3 on
me still!"
Wise men, North and South,
deprecated the institution of a
stated season for decorating the
graves of those who had fallen
in the war. It were better, rea
soned the peace-lovers, to make
haste to forget that which had
ploughed such lontr furrors in
our burial fields. "Best," retort
ed the anpacified, "that the
South be interdicted from pub
lic commemoration of those she
called heroes r horn Justice
branded rebels." When Virgin
ia women drew to their bosoms
the cherished stars and bars, and
set them in tearful defiance over
dead sons, brothers and hus
bands, upon the recurrence of
each Memorial Day;when bouth
ern orators embraced these oc
casions to eulogize Jackson,
Hood and Lee; when war-scar
red veterans marched yearly,
with spade and mattock, to re
new the sinking mounds that
marked the resting places of
their slain comrades, it was be
lieved byreconstructioniststhat
the Goverment ought to inter
fere, as for the suppression of
treason.
For a few years we mourned
our dead apart, and, to the su
perficial eye, it seemed that each
anniversary of Memorial and
Decoration Day (now 3ealously
we kept the names distinct!)
widened, not lessened, "the
bloody chasm."
Is was, if I mistake not, nine
years after the close of the war,
that the papers on the morrcw
of the Memorial Day ceremo
nies in a southwestern city, and
this notice:
"The graves of Confederate
and Federal soldiers were deco
rated alike yesterday, by the
hands of Southern women."
That little sentence marked
the turn of the tide, the parting
ol the bitter-salt ooze to show
the spot where the divine dove
of peace might find rest for the
sole of her foot. It is not so
nominated in National annals,
but the truth remains that, from
that hoar, the recession of the
flood had been steady
The culmination of the holy
triumph was in the Centennial
celebration on April 30tb, 1S39.
The banners that floated that
day from spire, and tower, and
mast-head, bore tho emblem
now dear and facred to the
hearts of a united people, glory
ing in that union. For the first
time since the torn soil received
their lifeless forms, the fallen
heroes of both sectioan wa, on
Decoration - Day, remembered
without bitternea. "Blue and
Gray," were meaningless terms
in the speech and thoughts of
those who, all over our broad
land, planted above the flower
wreathed beds o2 sleeping war
riors, one and the same standard,
the colors that nw straight
and steady in the dawn of that
April day, twenty-four years
ago!
The Decoration Day of 1889
was a Nation's Lbenezer. Let
us rejoice and be glad in it !

THE VALUE OP PUKE AUS.
Some ICesults of Breathing Im
pure Air.
The atmosphere we breathe
has in its natural state a nearly
uniform composition of oxygen,
nitrogen, carbonic acid and wa
tery vapor. It is conceded that
in each inspiration four cubic
inches are taken into the lungs,
one half of which disappears in
the act of inspiration. This
consumption of oxygen is great
er when the temperature is low
than when it is high, and dur
ing digestion it is greater than
when the stomach is empty.
Riding in the steam and horse
cars we are compelled to breathe
not only the air from people's
lungs, but the exhalations from
their skins and clothing, Fan
cy riding in the steam cars for j
a long distance in winter time, i
with two large stoves heated
almost red hot with antricite
coal, in a space say of fifteen
feet wide and ten feet high.
This space will contain abouf i
eighty people; and is closely j
shut up. All know the stove j
uses up oxygen with great ra
didity, and what is left is
breathed over and over again by
the people, jeho are giving out
from their lungs constantly a
gas utterly unfit to be breathed.
Is it any wonder headache
and nausea steal over them ?
They must either sit in a draugh t
or endure the poison, as the ven
tilators are uot enough to carry
off the foul air.
Visit some school-houses af
ter a walk in the fresh air and
the odor is something disgust-
g. These unpleasant sensa
tions come from want of greater
ventilation. Here again the air
is vitiated by breaths and cloth
ing; many of the pupils scarce
ly know the luxury of a good
bath and plenty of clean under
clothing. Now, can the air be
anything but bad under such
circumstances? If the windows
are open long the teacher and
children take cold, and some
are af raid and think they cannot
stand the smallest breith of
fresh air.
A school-room thirty feet
square and eight feet high con
tains seven thousand two hun
dred cubic feet of air. This
room will seat sixty pupils. Al
lowirg ten cubic feet of air to
each pupil per minute, all the
air in the room will be vitiated
in twelve minutes. Now, grant
ing that every means is used
regarding ventilation, and a
goodly supply of soap and water
to scrub thu floors instead of
s seeping. A recess of five min
utes ought to be given every
hour, so that the children could
move about, nave tne windows
and doors wide open and let
them breathe in freely the pure
air of nature, to repair their
mental and physical condition.
Effects arc proportioned to
causes, and if an atmosphere Oil
ed with five per cent, of carbon
ic acid will produce death in a
few minutes, what must be the
effect of breathing for ten, twen
ty or forty years the much small
er proportion which must be
ne present in every lnnaDitea
room when there is not a cou-
staut incoming and outgoing of
air? It does and must lewer
thm standard of health and
shorten our lives. Let a pe:son
whn is in food health, with a
sound nasal organ, take a brisk
walk in the open air, then come
at once into an inhabited room,
and if there is any unpleasant
odor the air of that room is
hurtful.
How many dwelling, sitting
rooms: or bed-rooms would pass
such an ordeal in the early
morning after being occupied at
nisrht.
Bad air, being heavy, always
sinks to the floor, and to be got
rid of must be drawn from the
floor, either by open fireplwies
or some means of ventilation.
A room ten by twelve by twelve

forty cable feet of air. the avail

standpoint, to have less heat in

sir," res pondei the urchin, with
a grin, "for xf the cow didn't

'Well, Merle," the teacher
said, udo you know the text to

"Yes' in," was the prompt an

until the teacher began, gently,
"The Lord

Life JoKt What We Make It.
Tom heard his mother say one
morning, "Life is Jut what we
make it, bright and cherry, or
sad and dreary." Tom could
not get the words out of his
mind. Starting for school he
missed his slate from his strap,
and saw that his little sister had
it drawing Jack-the-giant-killer
on it, and had erased his exam
ples that he had worked very
hard to get ready for the morn
ings recitation. He was Just
going to scold when ha remem
bered his mother's word. So he
laughed instead, and told hl3
mother that his little sister was
quite an a' tist. Tom trld to
make tho best of everything af
ter that, and one day his mother
said, "Why, Tom, yau ar3 Just
like sunshine in the house now
adays!" "Well, mother," sa'd
Tom, "Life is Just what we
make it, bright and cherry, or
sad and d re try."
--Mke 11 Look Like One."
Ned had a wat:h, a very good
one, though a little old fashion
ed. Thce was one thing about
it which displeased him ; it was
a key-winder, and all the rest of
the boys carried -t in -winders.
"Why, Ned," mid father, "ev
ery jeweler says key-winders are
the most reliable and durable.
Beside.-?, there is no solid gold
in' any watch cws In your
school.'"
But Ned insisted, and father
consent-d for him to take it to
the jewele and have a stem -winding
attachment put in. He
came hack with a doubtfnllook
on his face.
"Father, Mr. Smith t ays ho
can't change the watch to a stem
winder, but he can make it look
just like one."
"And you told him no ?"
-I I 11 r ..... .. :
"Want your watch to lie? I
want my boy to understand, if
he never learns another lesson,
the difference between seeming
to be and. being. , And I want
him to understand that the bane
of society is the contemptible
people who ore -ilwayfc trying
to appear what they are not ?
