IJollius, of Madison county, has been nominated as collector for the Fifth Xorth Carolina district. Par ticulars of the last moments in the struggle will be seen in another col umn. The Standard was peculiarly pained when Mr. Fairbrother carried Miss .Mamie Hatchett off to Nebras ka, but his wife proposes to make a Xorth Carolinian of him. It is annon need that he will assume at no distant day the editorial control of the Durham Daily Globe. The Craw ford-E wart campaign iu the Ninth is very interesting. Crawford is ust laving it on thick and fast, and Ewart is kept very busy just now in making explana tion's on his force bill speech and how he got into the Farmers' Alli ance. Crawford has read affidavits from J. Wiley Shook, a straight forward gentleman, saying that he had prepared the force bill speech for Ewart and then had hard work to get him to deliver it, as Ewart said it would ruin him. Ewart has r?ad a telegram from Shook saying he never said any such th;n. It is hard to tell how the thing will end, but it seems that Crawford has the Ninth and a down-hill pull. THE LOTTRY'S DEATH. At last the people are to be rid of this wholesale swindling machine, the Louisiana Estate .Lottery, ror a long time it has been carrying on a high-handed robbery, and the peo ple have submitted to its iniquitous practices. The money of the land has been pouring into the pockets of the bosses, in a constant '.ream ever since the war. Millions and millions of dollais have been wrung from the pockets of the people because they Dulled between them a curtain to to keep the world from knowing just how BinaH a chance there was to gain anything. Papers containing advertisements of the Lottery have been excluded from the miils. A great injustice has been done the newspapers of Xorth Carolina. They have been prohibited from advertising the lot tery and other papers would circulate over the State with the advertise ment in them. It was wrong and unjust. It 'looks as if the lottery would not get a charter from any State to operate in. It is a pity that two Confederate Generals should connect themselves with such an infamous gambliug machine, as did Beaureguard and Early. The names of Lee and Jack son and Johnston will shine on as long as great men are honored, but the names of Beauregard and Early have lest all of their beaut7, and these men are already dishonored and will soon be lost to memorv. TUe lloun keeper' liilon. The weekly meeting of the Ashe ville housekeepers' union wa3 held in the Ashevide Y. M. C. A. Saturday after noou. Sixteen new members were taken in and Mrs. Pitch, pres ldent oi tne union, read a paper showing the method of conducting the training school for servants in Austria. It is not hoped by the Asheville union to adopt the same method as the one used in Austria, but the paper was read in order to give the ladies an idea of what others are doing and encourage them in the work. Several of the members have expressed a wish to have Swedish servants brought to Asheville, as they prefer them to the colored peo pie, and at the next meeting the question of holding a mass mei ting of gentlemen ana lauies ot the city for the purpose of tUring seeps for this will oe uiscusseu. it is pro posed to get the geutlemen interested in the work, so as to have their aid in matters of this kind. Asheville Citizen. It is quite likely that the gentle men re the most interested now, and if they Bpealc their mind, they may desire that the women do some of it themselves.

One of the most remark able cases ever tried in any court iu this country was tried in the Go burn county circuit court a few days ago. Over twenty years ago a man named Zaucer killed another man named Ilofon in a row which they had over a hog.

And he let out the contract for carrying the mail for $5,000, b it took from the con tractor the snug sum of $150 a month by way of "perquisite."

The President has nominated William Wallace Rollins to be col lector of internal revenue for the Fifth Xorth Carolina District. Here is wn.it tne Aslieviile Uitizen says about him : W. W. Rollins is a ci-izen of Ashe ville and i3 a prominent tobacconist being engaged in tho warehouse business, lie is one of largest "rowers of the weed in the western section of the state. Maior Rollins is now in Washington. Ilia nom ination will have to be confirmed bv the senate. He is a republican of course. The average farm tenant buys $100 worth of goods in a year besides his meat and bread. Of that $100 he pays $40 in tariff to the government at Washington but does, not pay more than 55 in tax to his own State gov enrnmeut. Judge Wright was once a member of Congress and told me in a whisper that if the farmers of this country knew how much they paid on their hats and shoes and clothing, and axe3 and hoes and plates and knives and forks and pa per and pens and lamps and kitchen ware and every other ware they would rise up to a man and shoulder their muskets and swear by the eti r ral they wouldn't Mand it. He said it wouldn't be safe to let them know it. Bill Arp. . The M;r;..i News ' e-n IV- ivil it ; K'!i' : : "epiii hf ;.Jl .!;:;.!..

LatK. Chief of police has just recieved a telegram from relatives of the girl, instructing him to arrest the parties and prevent the marriage too late. Greensboro Patriot. KikI or tltf Fiemoit Trial. One of the most extraordinary trials of the century has just been concluded in Canada, resulting in the conviction of Birchall, charged w ith the murder of Fredrick C. Ben well. Bcginald Birchall was the son of Bev. Joseph Birchall, Bector of hurch Kirk, England, was edu cated at Oxford. He brought his wife to Ontario in lSS and moved in tl e best society. She was the daughter of a well-know n English railroad oliicer. In May, 1880, he advertised for a partner to take an interest "iu his farm.' Among those who answered his advertise ment was young Benwell, sou of Lt. Co!. "Ben well, of England, and a young man named Polly. He sailed from England with tnese young men anel his wife and finally came to On tario. There he allured Benwell off and murdered him. He had no farm whatsoever. It would seem that he had entrapped these young men and brought them to Amelica to rob and murder them, and circumstances justify the belief that many other young Englishmen have been simi larly de'alt with.

Fopul; r excle nent over the matttr runs Ugn. l.l.ill.li FROM BRAZIL. Rio de Jankiko, j.r. iZiL August 28, isno. . Mitorof The Stan dakd: Dear Sir,- -I have written two let ters or articles since 1 loft Old North! Carolina. The last was dated Para, Brazil. I think I must restate my estimation of the population of that citv. I believe 1 said that it was 180,000, but I founel that I was mis taken, and that tkere were only about 80,000 souls. AVe bpent the day on shore, and visited all places worth seeing. We left Para on the eve of the 14th of August for Puniambuco, and arrived at that port on the 19th all safe and sound. It is a long and tedious voyage of 1,200 miles, with nothing to see but water and the starlit canopy of heaven. Rut for two elays this monotony was broken by seeing numerous schools of whales, which we took the opportu nity of shooting at or, at lea3t, I did. We did not go ashore at Purnam buce), on account of smallpox, there having bcen an epidemic at the port for some tunc. We left Puniambuco on the 20th and landed at Bahia on the 21sf. Here we went ashore and visited all that was worth seeing viz.: Fruit anel monkey markets, elevator, in clined railway, churches, &c. This city is beyond description. Yon cannot describe the beautiful scenery that is to be eeen here. This port affords many curiosities not to be fond elsewhere. Among thenl is the number of old churches, built no one knows when. Catholic priests are to be found on all sides, ready to forgive your sins for from 50 cents up, according to the load you are carrying. Is'o one seems to be goinir to "Old Harry" in that city. Glo rious country, this. Mere is the place to get t hefamons seedless Ba hia oranges, the large.-.t in the world but not the best. From here we sailed to that beau tiful city, P.io de Janeiro, the eapittl of the new republic of Brazil, and arrived here on the 25th. Rio is the tii. est and largest city in Brazil ; pop ulation 500,000, principally natives. Here a white man is just as much thought of as a. negro as long as he behaves h'mjelf. There are a great many English and Americans here, all engaged in some kind of business. Here we met Gen. O. II. Dock cry and wife, the United States consul a', this place. They are erv kind to everybody, and are well iil-.ed by all. Mrs." Dockery lias made it very pleas ant to all ihe American Indies stop ping lice for ihe si ear.-' r south. I tolel the Colonel if he would turn De'inocra and 'go back to .North Caroliu i we would elect him to any oflice lie wan teil. But his i-p!y was that when he turned Democrat the seven stars would fall and roll around on the ground r.s big as goose eggs. We sail from hereon the 2'.'th for Buenos Ayroj on the steamer Pat osi of the Paeilie Xavigation Company, and will arrive at that phice on the 3d of September. Yours truly, G. T. Ci:o vki.l. P. S.

Cotton picking i the order of the el.iy. Farmers have had a good time to gather their crops up to the present, but we have had a lot of rain since yesterday morning, the first that lias fallen since the old of May that would make any stock water- I live in tho best watered ueighb rho:d in Hockwall county, n.nd you could see wagons daily hauling water from our Nadine wells. This lias -e u one of the driest years 1 have ever seen in Texas, but cLl farmers say when iliey have to haul water they are sure of a good cotton crop, and that is the ease no .v. We h?iv more cot ton than there is hands to gather it, making from one-half to one bale per acre, ami we are paying six bits or 75 cents j;-r hundred for picking. Smeo the rain it has gone to H;" cor.ts, and the probabilities are that it will go to St. 00 in a (short time. Beck wall would be glad to see em igration just now. Corn cro, s are a lit:!e short anel will be a gooel price. Tt is now worth 5o cents per bubhel- Flour will also be high next year; is now worth ?2 CO anel ?3.00. I guess all the colored people in olel Cabarrus will be pleaseil to lew) of Uncle Peter Propst's success in farming. His landlord saiel the other day that Peter would make f.0 bales of cotton this year. Ife said he was going back to the Olel State this winter to see his old master, Col. Sandy Propst. Prof. G. A.

Ever since a boy the editor has been under some peculiar ira. pressions about the qualifications for a juror.
