Whoever may be president, corn is king. The Board of Trade has always admitted it, the railway com panies know it, and the farmers know it, and the farmers cannot for get it All the other cereals how allegiance to corn. Had the soil of North America refused to yield corn, Great Britain wonld still he our sovereign country. Chicago would be a desert marsh by the side of an unknown lake. The Pacific slope would be au undiscovered country. The progress of Western civilization would be retarded half a entuiy. Corn has built more miles of railroad, erected more buildings, clothed and fed more people than any other product of American 6oil. Corn built Chicago, aud when Chi cago was reduced to ashes, corn rebuilt her. Yet there are people in Chicago and many . other places who wouldn't recognize a stalk of growing corn if they saw it. Aside from it3 utility, the grow ing stalk and the ripened ear of corn have an interest second to hard ly anything else the soil produces. Both the artist and the architect use them in their creations r.3 em bodiments of strength and symme try. Ic might be said further, with out stretching the truth, that the cornstalk has a recoguized value it the realm of music, for who has not heard of the cortiotalk fiddle? But seriously, the growing stalk of corn is one of the mo3t graceful and beautiful of all the plants nour ished by the bosom of mother earth. It is a little timid and shrinking at first. It is distrustful of Jack Frost, for it knows that Jack dearly loves to take a passing nip at its tender green shoots. And with prophetic appreciation of a possible ultimate existence in liquid form it does not like water. If lhe soil be wet and cold it turns yellow with spleen, and dies untimely; but if the sun smiles and the earth absorbs his brightness the little plant braces up right speedily and grows lusty and strong. By the first of June on the mellow ridges it is as high as your knee, and it seems to nod its delight as the passing cultivator throws a furrow of soft, moist earth over its roots. During July it grows an inch during the night, and during the day you can almost see it grow. If there is no drought and the first days of August are hot and sultry you may pass through the field and actually hear the corn grow. The term has often been used to indicate the limit of exag geration, but it is positively true that you can hear corn grow on a hot day in August. The iu tense heat hangs over the held m quiver ing lines, and the waving blades ab sorb it as burning sand licks up water. Earth and air are drawn upon to the utmost, aud they re spond so readily that the green strlks swells and strains at its armor-like covering till the latter groans a plainly audible protest. It you have heard this peculiar rending sound while passing through a corn field on a hot day in August you can truthfully say that vou have "heard corn grow." It has already been said that Chicago was built and rebuilt by corn. It may also be said that many of our best citizens are corn made men. The bone and the sinew ot Luicago business me are from Western cornfields. The bare foot boy dropped the four seed ker nels into the cross made by the marker and begrudged the hired man the sturdier business of cover ing tneni witu a noe. lie put on boots ' and manipulated the hoe, burning with envy of the youth with down on his lips who drove the marker. -Then he drove the marker himself, rode the two-horse culti vator on long daily crusades against weeks, and husked fifty bushels in a day on a wager with the hired man, who could only place forty-jight to his credit. He is a progressive youth, and suddenly discovers that the end of corn is not to be husked and taken to market, but that is really the beginning; that its future career is to build railroads and cities and coloseal fortunes. So the youth throws down the hoe, adjures the cultivator, pulls oil his husking gloves and arrives in Chicago, a sub ject of King Corn. You see him now every day. He is a director of the board of trade, and is worth half a million ; corn did it. .He is a pork-packer and can break a bank ; it is corn that did it, for without corn there would be no pork to pack. He is a wholesale grocer, dry goods, clothing, lumber, iron, aggricultnral implement merchant, and lives live a prince; and corn did it ; for but for corn there woujd have been nothing to receive in re-i turn for "goods. The streets are paved with corn. These corn-mac men and this corn-made city are as much to the endless Western cornfields as the cornfields are to them. No amount of improvement of the waterways, supplemented by the puny railway enterprises of a New Orleans, a St Louis, and a Kansas City, could provide for the marketing of the annual product of the 72,392,720 acre American cornfield. So Chi cago became a necessity to corn as W 1 corn is now a necessity to Chicago, Her lines of railroad, radiating in all directions, like long spokes in an immense wheel, ie etrate every portion of the big cornfield. They are like huge arteries in the wiuter and spring, transmitting a warm life current, which returns in the fall through the main flood-gate at the foot of Lake Michigan, a de luge of plenty that reaches every part of the world. One billion, four hundred aud fifty-six million, one hundred thou sand bushels of corn in 1887 ; value received, $646,000,000. This year there will be 100,000,000 bushels at the least, and people at home and abroad are crying for it. Corn is a pure type of democracy ; it has none of the effected aristocratic whims and privileges of wheat It is for for the masses, and the masses are for corn a more popular monarch never reigned. Think of his gen erosity ? This year the train which conveys his gifts to his subjects, and will pass through Chicago, will con tain ueaaly 3,000,000 cars, each load ed to the brim. This train will be hauled by 50,000 locomotives, and will reach around the globe. So heavily loaded a train must needs travel slowly; it will require a whole year in which to pass through Chi cago. And it will stop oer here longer than anywhere else. The engine 3 will water and coal up here, and several million bushels will be thrown off for the use of citizens for even the butcher, the baker, and the candle8tickmaker of Chicago have contributed to the glory of King Corn. One of the chief delights of the man who as a youth abandoned the hoe and two-horse cultivator to come here and help build Chicago for. as has already been intimated, they are the men who builed the fastest and strongest is to make a flying visit through the lig cornfield a this season of the year. It is a, duty as well as a pleasure. His practiced eye cau tell at a glance whether the yield will be large or small, and not all the momentous questions of tb government nre of such weighty im portaiice as a foreknowledge regard ing the yield of corn. Yet, as the traiu whirls him past mile after mile of the triumphant, gracefully waving plant, its utility is apt to be forgotten. No couctry or climate can match the view unrolled before him. An Iowa cornfield is a pano rama without a blemish. The ex havsted soil of the eastern state: yields a grudging store of "nubbins" and the stunted stalk bends beneath the disgrace of its fallen estate. For two hours the express traiu whirl an Iowa green ocean of corn, where in not a hill is missing; its tower ing stalks would afford secure am bush for an army of 1,000,000 men mcunted and foot artillery, ambn lances, mule trains and stragglers every maturing ear and tnese are two to stalk and four stalks to the hill is a foot in length, and has a lusty fringe of blown silken whis kers, sprayed with yellow pollen ; the ignominous name of "nubbin" is unknown in the land. Surfeited with the beauty of the scene, the Chicago corn made man leans back in his parlor coach chair and foots up long columns of fig ures. "Sixty bushels per acre," he says "sixty bushels." The rattling car wheels repeat the refrain "Sixty bnehels, sixty bushels" The corn-made man returns from his flying trip. He outlines the fall campaingn in wnoiesaie groceries wholesale he sends out his drummers with samples of fall styles in bonnets ; he sends out thousands of circulars descriptive of his farm wagons with extra high sideboards ; he stands four hours a day ou the floor of the I Board of Trade"; everything he does) is based on one immutable principle: j ried off mv feet by corn aud Chica - go? Well, come to think it it, corn is king everywhere m the great West at least.

HEXDEBSOJf. mountain rorsTix A Rae Pen Picture of a Homier Pair. Special Cor. to the Sentinel. I have been tramping through the mountains. From Ashville I went down to Mor- ganton and then made a bee line toward Tennessee in a northwestern direction. There are folks and folks in these mountains. Some of them are educated, refined and wealthy. Others are simple and poor. One night about 7 o'clock we struck a cabin away off in the wilds. I'm not go ing to tell the Sentinel's read ers where it wasbut suffice it to say that a railroad whistle had never been heard within twenty miles and bustles were an unknown luxury. Well, I was made welcome in good old mountain fashion to the cabin of Was! Jefferson Andrews (his wife called him 4 4 Wash' ' for short) and soon felt comfortable. Andrews had a daughter about 20 years old and I soon Understood that she was to be married next day. Indeed, the lucky young man was on the ground and waiting.. He was a six-footer, slim as a toothpick, awkward as a calf, and dead in love. The girl was more shv, but not to be bluffed by my presence. When entered the front door, the young man, who answered, to the name of Davy, ran out of the back. He felt confused and embarrassed, and, taking his seat on a log ubout thirty feet from the house, he hid his face as much as possible be hind a sapling. Andrews call ed to him, then Mrs. Andrews called, but he put his finger in his mouth and would not come. Then his Susan went out and said: "Now, Davy, what's the scrimmage? He'un hasn't come here to hurt we 'uns," "I ain't scart." "Then come along in. All of us' 11 be ashajned of ye.' Got a headache." said Davy, as he hung baek- 4 'Honest V ' 4 4 Yes. orful honest. Feels like it'ud split." "Shucks! You's-4ashful You's afraid he'll poke fun at we' uns! But he won't, Davy. Pop s dun told him we re to line, and he says it's right. He'un won't laff, Davy. "Fur shore ?" 4 'Fur snake shore. Come, in Davy She came leading him by the hand, and I did my best to put him at his ease. In this I succeeded so well that after dinner he took me into his confidence. We were 1 ing under a tree, and I had eivin him the first cigar he ever saw. when he suddenly said : 44 Would you you run away 1" nat ! From getting mar ried " "Yes." "No sir-e-e ! You're a lucky man to get such a girl as Sue.' "But folks'll laff." "Let'em laugh." "And wink, and titter and make fun." "Pooh ! What of it." "It's just orful, but mebbe kin do it. I've killed b'ars and rattlers and wildcats, and I've had fights and rows but this skeers me." I got him braced up after an hour's talk, and then we took a cut through the woods to see the new cabin which had been erected for the bridal couple It was an humble structure made of poles, with no door to the doorway and no sash to the window. The ground was beaten down hard for a floor, there was a rude fireplace at one end, and a bedstead had been made of poles laid in crotches. Davy's mother had gevenhim a bear skin, a kettle, a skillet and jug, and these were placed in one corner. Susan's parent had given her a pan, a kettle, three tin plates, two sDoons two knives and forks and a bottle of vinegar, and these were placed in an other corner. That was the whole outfit. The mountaineers were my friends. They had gone to every trouble to oblige me, and here was an opportunity to requite their kindness. There was a genuine country srore aDour a nine away, anu 1 . 1 1 1 got rid of Davy and went down there. I liad a little talk with the storekeeper and ; wrote out a list of tilings and j tendered the pay. and his voice . ' - actually trembled as he said : 4 'Twelve hull dollars! Stranger, ye can't mean it !" "Oh, but I do," "And all a free gift to Dave and Sue? Wall, it beats sar pints ! 'Deed it beats b'ars and wildcats! Put it thar', stranger! I've seed strange things in my time, but this clutters me! That evening Andrews and his wife had to go over to sit up with a sick neighber, leav ing me alone with the lovers. After the splutter had been lighted bue said to me : You won' t keer, will you ? About what? And pop said you wouldn't laff nor titter. What at Dave and me is goin to coart. Go right ahead, my dear girl. I am very near-sighted and hard of hearing and you needn't be afraid of me. They sat down on the door sill, and after a minute Dave queried: Ham t nobody lookin.' be thar I Guess not. Then I'm goin' to! No You han't! But I must, cause I orter ! He put his arm around her waist and there was long silence. Then he said : Kin I squeeze your hand i Noap. But I orter. Well mebbe. And vou nan t kissed me for an hour. David ! But I orter be kissed And vou orter be kissed. I can't consider. But you orter. Nobody' 11 see. Well, mebbe you know best. Course I know best. Haven't I killed b'ars and wildcats i Sartin, for I seed their hides. Don' t sot way off thar, Susan. Sot clusser. Noap. But vou orter. Your pop would say you orter. Haint we most married i Well, mebbe I orter. We's gwine to be crackingly happy. Yes. Never git mad i Noap. I went off to bed and left them there, and I shouldn't wonder if they put in most of the night at it. At about ten otclock next morning the peo dle began to drop in, and at eleven the marriage took place. The groom had a weak spell, but I braced him up, and when the fatal noose was adjusted and the trap sprung his con duct was fair to medium. After dinner we formed in procession and escorted them to tneir new home. Almost everybody had come laden with a present of some sort. In the centre of the cabin was my surprise and no crowd of people were ever so dumfonnded. Mrs Andrews drew the articles out, and it took every one's breath away as she shouted. Real tea and coffee and sal aratus ! And here's cotton cloth and pins and thread ! And here's suarar and molasses and soap! And here's crockery real crockery and knives and forks and spoons and" But all the women were cry ing by that time, and all the men were trembling with ex citement. They laid it onto me, and I had to own up, and then Andrews called out : Yere Dave, Sue git right down on yer knees and sw'ar to the stranger that you'll pot luck with him an' his'n as long as grass grows and water runs, and may the Lord never desert him !" And who could ask for a greater reward ? The fine broadcloth whih the rich man wears pays a tax of 50 per cent. ; the cottonwarp Melton worn by the poor man pays a tax of 150 per cent. Yet workingmen are coolly told by the organs of Monoply and by the leaders of a great politi cal party that this inequality must not be corrected. Under the Mills bill rich and poor alike would pay a 40 per cent, tax on their clothing. Charlotte Chronicle. Mr. Cox on the Potato. In reply to a iettrr addressed lo him by the editor of the Syracuse Courier, n questing him to ascertain definitely whethei potatoes were on the "free list" in the Mills bill, the j Hon. S. S.

Reports from various parts of the State show wide spread damage by last night's frost to coin and tobac o. Th dAiasse to lhe tol a'CO crop :'n Connetticut Valley, is estimated at thousands of do'lars, Traffic in Worms. A number of . people in New York city find an extensive aud profitable business in selling sand worms to fishermen for bait. One merchant of this commodity has sold iu the busy season as many as 30,000 worms in a week. There are two varieties, the sand worms or blood worms as they are commonly called, and the white worms. The blood worms are much more plentiful than the white, runniug in the ratio of 100 blood to one white. The blood worms are fouud on a rocky beach, and in sand in which there is considerable vegetable mat ter. This variety is obtained along the north shore of Long Island, iu the vicinity of Fort Hamilton and along the shores of Etaten Island, The white worms are found in clean, white sand, along the south side of Long Island, Sandy Hdok, and the coast of New Jersey. Both varieties are dug at low tide. When the weather is hot they come up to the surface, and when it is cold they go down deeper. They arc about six inches long; the white worms rather flat, blunt at both ends, and lined along the side Avith a short fringe; the blood worms smooth, more pointed, round, resem bling very elosely the earth worms found iu rich soil. Thousands of people are engiged in digging them, and make a good living in supplying the market for them. An entire family devote3 it self to the work, earning $28 to $30 a week. A single man has earned at times, $12 a day by digging aud selling those worms. There is n great demand for them, and it so M.'Mnies happens that a dealer is notable to fill his orders. The dealer referred to has a box full of telegrams and letters from Ocean Beach, Asbnry Park, Philadelphia, Newburg, and other places, asking for information about these worms, d enclosing orders for them. The white worms command a price of 23 cents a dozen, and have been known to sell for $7 a hundred. The blood worms generally sell for 40 cents a dozen. They are dug with a hooked fork, and re found about eighteen inches below the sur face. They must be alive to be sala ble, as they are not fit for bait when dead. They can be kept alive for a week, and n man must understand the business or he is liable to lose a thousand at a time. These worms are used for catch ing striped bass mostly. Shedder scrubs are used for catching weak fish. In catching bass men put on bathing suits and go into the surf, where the fish are larger than in deep water. The fish are very fond of the worms. Sometimes a man need merely lay a worm across his hook, toss it quickly into the surf, and he may as quickly pull it out again, with a fish on the end of his line. It is not an uncommon thing to pull in a fish that weighs twenty five pounds. At Ocean Beach a short time ago a man landed a strip ed bass weighing forty pounds. Along the Hudson this fish is often found, but not as large as the beach es. .Bass weighing three or four pounds are also caught from the piers. Women are quite enthusiastic over the sport of fish.ng, and the dealers frequently receive orders from them. A woman will visit a worm store iu I he course of her fore noon shopping and leave an order for one or more dozen, in view of a fishing trip the next day. New York Sun. IS til E S.ttE no AT. Since Belva Lockwood got into The presidential tussle, , The paralyzing fact is learned She dosen't wear a bustle. This ought not to hurt her canso; The simple truth is, neither Of the other candidates Wears a bustle either. Kerr Craige, one.of the best men in the State, appointed as Collector of the Fifth district, a negro under a negro distiller, and the immacu late saints of negro worshipping rad icalism is stirred up about it. Would any decent white man have had the place ? Mr. Craige did right in putting a negro as store-keeper un der a negro at a negro still house instead of a white man. That's the long aud short of it. Truth. There are 800,000 freight cars n the various railroad lines in this country, of which flJ.030 are the property of the Pennsylvania Cen tral road- They range jn value from 300, the cost of constructing a flat car. is 1,500, the amount expended jn building the average refrigerator car, Tn 4e.ven vears the value of the products of Saath Carolina has in- creased from $72,000,000 to 101,000, How ths Farmer Aees lu When Gen. Hariison was telling some Western farmers, a few days ago about the richness of their land and extolling the beneficial effects of protection, he studiously avoided all reference to the fact that the farmers of those States paid last year ninety millions of dollars in interest cn mortgages. If there are in those States one-third of the farmers of the country, or about two million five hundred thousand, and if those of them who have their farms mort gaged number only one third, they pay each more than one hundred dollars intent on these debts. Yet these burdens have fallen upon ttio 1 farmer in a period in which he. Via told that protection was benefitting -him. If lie could have bonght un- taxed clothing, sngar, rice, and all the articles of iron and steel he uses and saved also the taxes cn steel he pays when he ships his products over the railroads, he wonld have had far more money in his pocket every year than he now pays in in terest on his mortgages, and his mortgages also might have been un necessary. Since the protective tariff was laid and the 'o v tariff of 1876-'30 w. s abandoned the farmers have seen the price of corn go down from an average of 93 to an average of G3 cents and wheat from an average of $1.83 to an average of 83 cents per bushel. He has thus lost 30 cents on his corn and $1 on , his wheat, and iu addition, by the raising of duties on much that he buys, on the uverage from 23 to 47 per cent, ho loses more than 10 cents on every bushel of corn at 63 cents, and he loses 1 4 cents on every bushel of wheat at 83 Cent3. This is a total loss on his corn of 40 cents per bush el and ou his wheat of $1.14. 4 Thus his corn, so far as its buying power is concerned, is really reduced from 93 cents to 53 cents per bushel, and his wheat from $1.83 to 67 cents per bushel. Yet it is claimed for protection that it raises the price of the farm- . er's products and that at the same time home competition prevents the raising of the prices of the necessa ries he buys. On the contrary, as every intelligent, observant and well informed man ought to see," the prices of the farmer's products have been going steadily down, whilst home competition has been prevent-. ed from reducing the prices of do mestic goods Which instead have been artificially raised by the tariff through means of the gigantio "trusts" the Steel Trust, the Su gar Trust, the Wool trust, and so on to the end of a long list of oppres sive and tyrannical combinations. Mr. Ilarrisou cannot delude the farmers. They can see and feel for themselves. (one Wrong;. Another man gone wrong! Brother Bulkhead, late of the Durham Tobacco Plant, is re ported to have gone over to the third party, so-called. . It is said he is to become the ed itor of the third party organ to be established at Durham It is evidently his desire to be come the Sam Small of the State with a view to possible loaves and fishes in the future in the way of fame and emolu ment, He was young, he was fresh as a Democratic editor, but from his earnest advocacy of Democracy and his vigorous shelling of the Republicans adjunct to which he has attach ed himself it was supposed he was really a Democrat. It seems that the public was mis taken. The zeal he displayed was affected, or else his polit ial perversion has been the most sudden on record. He was comparatively untried in the Democratic field, he was fresh, as we have said, very fresh indeed, but he was at least supposed wise enough to avoid hari-kari. There seems to have been a mistake, how ever, in this respect, also, for the young man has deliberately "been and gone and done it." He has fallen by the wayside. Alas, that one, so fair, so fresh, so fond of fun should have so soon been led away into the riaths of distinct opposition to all the best interests of the people among whom he was horn and has so far been bred !
