Ladies' Home Journal. A Wedding That Di n-t Occur. Yesterday morning Mr. Adam Kyle, an expectant bridegroom of lit y summers, got into his best suit "f "clothes, audj taking Miss Lizzie Lewis, a maiden lady of forty sum mers in his bugg-, drove to this city 1 1 yet the "fatal noose adjusted," or, in other words, to get married. On reaching the city the lady said she had some shopping to do before the reiuony was performed and would marry him at 3 o'clock p. m. Mr. liyles consented and treated his lady hive to a Fne diuner, and otherwise did all he could to make her com-f'-rtabie. At 3 o'clock Mr. Byles was on hand, but the lady again ob j 'Cted to marrying him just then.

"Ex, H NEVER CHOOSE A WIFE. Never marry a girl who does not love her mother she never will love you ; and if she permits her mother to do the houe work while she poiu.ds the piano, primps, powders, paints and rao ives cullers, it is the best of evidence that she does not love her. .

Never marry a girl unless she knows how to cook. You may not expect her to do the cooking, but unless she knows how, you will not be happy.

More than half the Grand Army- were loreign hirelings and substi tutes who fought for the money and nothing else, and these are the fel lows who i.re drawing most of the pensions. They were hospital rats and camp followers and i canisters. and got sick eay, and have played sick and disabled ever since. Their numbers prove w hat a set they were, nearly 3,00,0u0 against 700,Oo, and they have '.00,ooo pensioners still alive and kicking, ram .(ones told them up in Missouri that if our boys had have known how bad we were whipping them they would have fought on until now. " You fellers," said he, "are drawing all the pensions, and that's right. You fought for money, and you ought to have it. Our boys fought for pa triotismfor love of their country, and they've got that yet. You never conquered it out of 'em, and you ne1 er will. So it s all right. Every soldier ought to have what he fought for." That is very Cue sarcasm, but I am not happy as long as some ol that pension money comes out of me. If the war is over how many years must the south pay out $40,000,000 tonoithern soldiers and draw none for her own ? If we could pick out the patriots who really needed a pen sion we wouldn't say a word, but it's a northern outrage to continue this business. It is an outrage on the north as well as the south, and if the Alliance don't stop it, it won't be stopped. The Alliance can do some big things if they will. The nation can't stand this extravagance. How can the tariff be reformed and re duced with an empty treasury ? Mr. Cleveland Iert it full, but it s empty now. Bill Arp. PIgeons as War Messengers. Major-General Cameron, of the Royal Military College, Kingston, Canada, was recently instrumental in organizing a homing pigeon club in connection with the Canadian Militia. The first practical test was made the other day, and it illu.trated the uses to which the birds could be put in the event of war. Ten homing pi geons were sent out the day before by express from Kingston. Next morning, in the presence of the mil itary oflicers and Sir Hector Langev- in, the birds were given their liberty. A dispatch from General Cameron at Kingston says that six pigeous ar rived there at 1 o'clock, covering the distance from Ottawa, 120 miles, in two hours and fifteen minutes. Two arrived fifteen minutes later. Iiichmond, Va., October 1C The ttreets were filled with colored peo ple this morning along the route that the procession of freed men marched in commemoration of.the emancipa tion proclamation. This, the second day of the proceedings, eclipsed any thing in the way of rejoicing they have done since the war. The pa rade composed of military and civic societies, 'chiefly of a local character. Public exercises were held this even ing at the exposition grounds. T CONCORD, N. C. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, NTATE NOTCH. La Grange Spectator. An effort will be made during the session of the next Legislature by the Wil mington and Weldon I ail road to lease or buy the Atlantic & North Carolina Bailroad. There is a yellow jacket's nest on the farm of Mr. William Johnston, near Mooresville, which is estimated to be 3 feet in diameter and 14 inches high. Nobody has had enough curi osity to go up to measure it with rule or tape-line, but it is the best judgment -of those who have survey ed it from a safe distance that it is at least this large. Monroe Cor. Charlotte Chronicle: John Winchester, a colored brake man on the G., C. & N. li. iJ., was killed last night in Ch.-sU-r, S. C. The train on which he was brake man was moving backward, and he fell off of lho car and iu front, of it and was very badly mangkd." Me was perfectly sober and was the vic tim of , mere accident.

Barber ami Tin. mis j Settle, Democratic and licnidiivm candidates for Solicitor, are very agreeable candidates. They trav, I j in the same buggy together, stop at the same hotels, and are making a canvass similar to the one Vance and Settle made for the governorship. Of course Settle will get left in this race as bad as his father did in the race with Vance. Winston Daily: There is a married man in Winston whose wife is inter rupted in her peaceful slumbers by him, while in "dreamland," hurrah ing at the top of his voice, "I am a Vance man, and 1 say hurrah for him !" The gentleman was awkened last night and informed by his bet ter half that she had no objections to his being for Zeb Vance, but that she did object to being disturbed by hideous yells at night. Wilmington Star: Great prepar ations are made and being made for the approaching "Border Exposition of the Carolinas," to be held at Max ton on the 22d, 2:$d and 24th insts. Buildings are about completed and every house and dwelling will be turned into a hotel for the time. Gov. Vance is expected to arrive there on Friday morning by special train from Charlotte and make a speech. All the railroads will run special trains; rates are exceedingly cheap one cent per mile. Twin City Daily: Mr. W. L. Home returned from Greensboro last night where he was summoned as a witness at the Federal court in the c.se of W. F. Stutt, who was to have been tried yesterday upon the charge of robbing the mails in duly while assistant post-master at Car thage. Stutts decided that the evi dence was too strong against him on Monday night,ana after borrowing a few dollars from friends in Greens boro, he skipped for part3 unknown, leaving his bondsmen with the bag to hold to the time of $1,000. Salisbury Herald: The meeting of the Youug Men's Christian As sociation Convention in Salisbury last week was indeed a most pleas ant one. The young gentlemen who visited us were an earnest, conse crated body, who favorably impress ed our people. The meetings were attended by many people and much good accomplished. The raising of $500 for the establishment of a read ing room and the fitting up of the Salisbury Association was a credita ble act on the part of our citizens. Jay Will Templeton, son of K. S Templeton, Esq., of Burringer town ship, recently found in the old Geor gia road, not far from his father's, a silver badge, scarf pin or some such ornament, bearing in the centre, front, a large "K," and around this in two half circles, "Wm. II. G. Denhart, lGth Ills. Cav." Like sev eral other such articles that have at different times been found in this section, it must have been lost about the close of the war by one of Stone man's men during their raid through here. Wilmington Messenger : Several papers we notice have commented upon the Virginans w ho paid atten tion to the French pretender in his visit to Iiichmond. It seems that the attentions were not by any means general. The people did not bother themselves about the coming and going of this enemy of liberty rind slanderei" of a brave people. The State says "in $ny community of people the snob and tuft-hunter will abound, and Iiichmond could not be a big city without that specimen of humanity." New Berne Journal: At 11:30 o'clock Monday night lire broke out iu the drug store of 11. N. Duffy, on the corner of Middle and Pollock streets. The whole of the interior of the building was a solid mass of flame which burst out on the north side and led into the offices of Drs. Chas. and Frank Duffy, thr two bar ber shops of J. B. Brown and liobert Green, and the tailor shop of liich- ard Sawyer. Also the law ollice of Duffy & Nixon over the drug store wa3 burned out. li. N. Duffy suf fered the heaviest loss, probably $4,000 or $5,000 in drugs and drug- ggt stationary, aud about half that amount on buildings. Other losses by fire and water we would suppose to be not over $1,500 or $2,000. AND AM). Lanrinburg Exchange : Including those in course of erection eight new brick stores are to be built here right away. Up to date 3,500 bales of cotton have been shipped from this point this season. Murfreesboro Index: Capt. Geo. A. Hussey, owner of the steamer Tahoma, has established a steamboat line from Murfreesboro to Edenton, connecting' with the Norfolk & Southern Railroad. Charlotte Chronicle : Maxton, uct. 17. Alex Williams, a negnyl shot his brother in-law, a youth, this afternoon, killing him instantly. No motive is assigned for the deed, as Alex fled. The weapon used was a small revolver. Goldsboro Headlight: Owing to the bountiful cotton crop this fall, there i9 more money in circulation ju t now than there has been in the p:i.-t twenty years, and the merchants here tell us that farmers are more readily tiiying their debts than ever before. (Estonia Gaz 't'e: Mr. J. li. Shan non of this township will make $1000 worth of cotton and 4(H) bushel c-f cun, besides "roughness," wheat, oats, peas and ot her crops. M r. Shan non has done all his v. orlc with his oa n family, and didn't get an even start either as he had bought a new i L;ce and had a great deal of clean ing up r.ii 1 re; aring to do. St inly Obst rverT Mr. J. P. Nash, i:o:i:iiiee for the House, rays it is char.-cd on him that he is a prohi bltoi.isr, and that if ele ted he would out the comity under prohibition. He requests us to stale that the re poit is false and of course no one who knows Mr. Nash believes such 'silly stuff,' and that if euded to the Legislature he will have noth ng to do with prohibition. Any well in formed man knows that prohibition is not an isue in this campaign. Durham Globe: When he catches hold of the contradictions and i ocon sistencies of the tariff bill, Senator Vance is wildly at home. lie tore it into shreds in his Durham speech, but as all the people here know that the bill is a fraud, framed iu the in terest of the monied kings of the North, there is no use to waste time iu dissecting it in these parts. Sen ator Vance owes it to the country to take a trip through the North and West to show up the fallacy of the political millionaires. It is in those sections where he coul.l do much good. Yesterday a man named Gilbert, who had a good wife, but who was a hog himself, was killed on the rail road track in Durham. Gilbert was drunk, and like all drn k men, thought something mean about his wife. His wife had gone ( s f hei sister, and Thad Gilbert sat d ..vnon a cross tie to S'-e if any one .vent to the house. A freight train came along, and in his drunken stupor he did not hear it and was killed. That ought to be told to every boy in the couutry, and posted 14)011 all the fences along the road as a public re minder that a drunk man is a fool, and sees vervlnxly's frailties except his own. The -murderous engine wheels crushed him to death, but his death was not much more horri ble than that which every drunkard is sure to meet some day. liemem ber this, boys. Gastonia" Gazette: In the late court at Dallas, Judge Brown made the reputation of tempering judg ment with mercy. A good deal .'of dissatisfaction is expressed with his sentences, notably those of Baldwin, andthe parties who shot into houses at Cherryville. Baldwin was glad or ought to have been to submit to the charge of manslaughter, and : yet he got of with au almost nominal sentence. It w as claimed by the de fense that bis victim's death may have resulted from a fall from a bug gy after he was shot, yet Dr. Wilson, the only witness whose evidence could have been worth anything on this point, was not called. In this case the solictor seems not to have sus tained his fine reputation. In Cher ryville case the Judge's sentence is thought to have been unaccountably light ; and so of others. Notice, in the proceedings of court, how fre quently occurs, "judgmeut suspend ed.' Be it known, however, that we were not present and the foregoing is chiefly the echo of public expres sion. Shelby Aurora: The revenue party went Saturday night to destroy illicit stills near the celebrated King's Mountain Gold Mine, in the edge of Cleveland and Gaston counties. They went, they say, they conqnred not, but left in hot haste. I'he mopn-r shiners were up in arms against the depredations of the revenue party, consisting of Messrs. E. S. Walton, deputy collector; J. A. McFalls, dep uty marshal; T. N. Hallyburton, Samuel Marks and G. W. Chambers, store-keepers. This party that night had seized an illicit still supposed to belong to John and Euf us Costner, near King's Mountain Gold Mine and near Alfred Costner's, and de stroyed the beer. On their return towards King's Mountain, and one mile distant from the moonshiners' haunts, they were halted in the road near Wm. llhea and Alfred Costner's. The revenue party's carriage and buggy were stopped about 11 o'clock by armed men, ana an attempt was made to seize the driver's reins. Af ter a colloquy and a peaceful talk from the revenue a pistol from .a blockader was fired and hit the horse in the neck, inflicting a severe but not dangerous wound. Then the revenue made hot haste to "git up and git," and away they went Soon the carriage was overturned and, af ter some delay, the revenue party were glad to reach Shelby unhurt. 2 ; 1890. BILL NYE'S' SABBATH. HE WAKES AT AN UNEARTHLY EARLY HOUR AND THEN GOES TO SLEEP AGAIN- I awake in the morning at? an un earthly hour on Sunday, after which I turn over and go to sleep again This second or beauty sleep I find to be almost invaluable- I do it also with much more earnestness and ex pression than iu the earlier part of the night. All the rest of the peo ple in the house gradually wake up as I begin to get in my more fancy strokes. By 8 o'clock everybo Jy is stirring, and6-Iget up and glide about iu my pajamas, which make me look al most like the "Clemenceaa Case" in search of an engagement- Mr- Rogers is going to have me to sit to him in my pajamas for a group of statuary. He also wishes to model an iron hitchingpost from it. I will sit for it now in a few days. . On waking I almost at once take to me tub aud giye myself a good cold bath. I then put in my teeth. After, doing some lhtle studies in chiropody I throw a silk-velvet dress ing gown over my shoulders and jook at my bright and girlish beauty in a full-length mirror, comparing the dimpling curves a? I see them reflected with those shown in the morning paper. Alter vead.ng a little from the chess eoiumi of some food author, I descend to the. ualcn and greet my family smilingly iu order to cpen the day auspiciously. We nil then sing around the parlor organ a little peao entitled, "Its funny when you fee! that way." We now go to the breakfast room, where tuo ciiiluren are taught to set aside tli9 daintiest bits for papa, be cause be might die some tiuu aud then it would bo a life-long regret to those who are epared th it they did not give him the tender part of the steer or ihe s. cond joint oi' the hen. Alter breakfast, which consists of chops, hut. bed brown potatoes, muf fins and coll', e, preceded by cante lope or b d: d bean, we proceed to q arrel uvor who chu I go to church aud who hluUi remain at home to keep the catt:e out of the corn- We then g to church, those who can at least, whilst the others re main and read something that will be improving. Sometimes I shave myself on Sunday mornings- Then it takes me quite a w hile to el bacii into a religious frame of mind. I do not manage very well iu shaving my self, and people who go by the house are often attracted by my yells- I go to church quite regularly and enjoy the sermon unless it is too firm or personal. If it goes into doctrine too much I am apt to be quite fa tigued by the end of the service on account of the mental reservations I have made along through it. I like to go and hear , about God's love, but I am rarely benefited by a discourse which enlarges upon his jealousy. When I am told also that God spares no pains in getting even with people, I not only do not enjoy the information but I would sit up till : lute hour at nhiht to doubt it. I shako hands with the pastor, and after suggesting something for him to preacu about on the following Sabbath, I goiome.- In the afternoon I go walking if no one calk. .We have dinner at 2 o'clock on Sunday, consisting of jerked beef smothered in milk gravy. 1 bis is the remove. I or side dish es we have squi sh or meat pie. We sometimes open with soup and then have clean plates all around, with. jowl and greens, tapering olf with some kind of rich pie. After dinner I sometimes nap a little and then fool with tho colt. This is done quietly, 1 owever, o as not to break iu upon the devotional spirit of the day. After this I go for a walk or converse intelligently with foreign powers who may be visiting our shores- When I wa.k I am generally ac companied by a restless Queen Anne dog, which precedes me by about a mile, 6inel!iug of the road to see that all his well, lie sometimes succeeds in getting himself disliked by some other dog and then I can observe the fight when I catch up with him- As the twilight gathers .all seem ready again for more food and .we becrin to clamor for pabulum, keeps ing it up until either square or round crackers and smearkase are' produc ed.

Somerville. October 14. This morning the family of Wm. Porter left their child, one-year-old boy, playing upon their kitchen floor, while they busied themselves at their work upstairs. Shortly after they heard the youngester crowing and laughing, and one of the women ran down to see who or what it was that was furnishing the youngster's amusement. She was horrified to find a snake coiled up on the baby's lap with its head on a line with his face. The child was stroking the snake's body and laughing at its dangerous play thing, and the snake apparently en- loyed it as much as the child, as it made no demonstrations of anger. The reptile was driven .off and killed. It was a' yard . long, . and from the description which' the family srivefof if;, issunosed to have been a-ftatheded adder. -The child, manifested great grief at being, de. jrived of. his source, of amusement'.; i' .

Purty continuously, some feller is giving the publik the benefit of his opinion, tbrue. the nusepaper, what kind ot a Fee-mail will or will " ot make the korrect kind of a help m ait : so how to chuse a wife an so on. Even your admirable Jurnel has ben trying its hand at the job, and like the rest of em has maid some purty good rules for celectir g a wife, or leastwise who not to celect. I am glad to see Biich hole-some aids, to society, distributed thrue your old Jurnel. I think it does much to advance the happiness an well being of pos-. terity. Keep hit up Mr. Editur. Tell that lovely little dude whose brain has bn racked, for three mor tal hours in try ng to deside the propper thing for a necktie, while bis ma is finishing that sowing that will pay for sade necktie, and git him a dinner : never marry a gurl that don't lo?e her ma no dont- Go around to the club in the even ing when he is enjoying his sigaret an laying plans .with his chum, who by the way has after fore or five years of hard study and close appli cation succeeded m beeing able to lead the German, how they can bam boozlo'some gurl an urge on him the fallasy oi-marrying a flirt, but hit mite do him some good and be the means of saving him from the snares an pit falls of sum fliit. Perhaps an opportunity may turn up, when,-. you see, a feller whose mane stock in trade is his goodiooks an fine cloths and who makes his sister by his corsets for him, to warn him agin marryin a belle, an thus save him from this deplorable katas trofe. ... I sed feiler out to our Pair who. changed his clothes three times iu one day an wore a dimund ring a top of his gloves, now I think nit would bee a act of charity to warn feieh as him agiu marryin a fashion able gurl. for as that letter in your paper sais the' will turn out a spend thrift and that would be bad- Kan't yon see. - - The fact is Mr. Editpr this is a big thing, hese Ilighters have taken a hold of an kan't hee ventilated too much ; hit e;b hard please. Perhrfps if hit could be so arranged that they could ketch some of the boys w hen they.arest gettin home at two or thvee o'elock in the morn-i ing'fibm tho club or .some of the so cieties that tuey attend so punctu ally and give them that racket about eurls who spend half their time -atendihg tea parties, sowing circle, class meetings, operas an sich ; tell them these gurls no too .much, of course they do, and hit will open their eyes shore. If some of thea fellers who chew tobacco, smoke mean cigars and stinkin. pipes an drink mean whiskey ; could no more of the deadly -effects of tite lacing they would certainly be kare ful of how they swing on tho gates where a tite laced girl staid ; they certainly would. Bat Mr Editur I am trespassin to much on your good nature which 1 no is much more ex tended than your space. If I was not aware of the ability of these per sona to show up tho snares of these same treacherous gurls I would sa more but hit aint no use. other pens more abler than mine will show them up so as no feller need be cajght a napping. - Yours till de.th Jeems. COLORED MEN AS ENGINEERS. Colored men are now work ing their way into many of the skilled trades in "New. York, and there are em ployers who speak highly of their capacity,' industry and faithfulness. "We can hold our ground in this business," said a negro carpet layer, "though it needs more brains and harder work than some other trades." ''There are - black type-setters in some large offices in - Xew .York," said one of. them,, "and they can pick up both nonpareil and pica as well as other people." "We have several dusky engineers in our service," said the boss, of an establishment, "and they tare, both expert and trust worthy."
