But wheu I was a boy GO yearsago some of the embers of the long struggle of 1 1 .5-82, were still burn ing. If a Hessian or the son of a lU-ssian made a misstep in life, or lU-paried one jot or tittle from strict duty or fair play, the hated term was sure to meet him. Some of the hurdist fiiti-cuffd I ever saw grew out of these feelings. The result was that a certain shync and quiet demeanor usually attended those families. They were all industrious a:ul thrifty; many of them were ex-1 celleut n e.hanic and artiz-ins, and in all the relations of life they did r.aeh to nuke the "Dutch Side" a jrosjerous, self -.reliant, a.id a Scif supporting people. All such dis ur.etious are wholly done away with. t'rut.JiOtis a:d givat-gra'idoous of :.x hooiia:.i haw, for a long peii- of tim, the highest pu-.i- ;.ors i:i the county, and, t. ti.is . ti.ey represent the ia..v: enu-r-l citizens of the country. ':;e o.iehi.gv.d decendeutof a noted :lviji.:ii madeor.e of the bese soi ..:.ri the Confederacy produced; ;;,d :.c is now out of the most pioneer l v.a fanners of Cabarrus. But the resuk of all this was to '..ro.v this llessii.it element, in aome d-.gree, back upon itself. And this explains the str.vnge superstition :ierred to in a former uitic'eru so prev;i!tat amorg the Germans of ome p-.ii-li if Cubarrus and the ad pining sections of Stanly. Probably the most interesting of all the Dutch Side Hessians was John Heed, owner ot the " famous "Reed Gold Mine," where the 23 pound piece of gold was found in 1S03, lyir-g in a small brar.ck! (See Wheeler's X. C. History Cabarrus county.) His character wa? un- blemished; he reared several daugh ters, who intermarried with the best families of the land; and he died at an advanced age, the owner of a Urge estate. But so sensitive was he on thi3 point, that he loug des diced to take out raturalizalioc paptrs, and did not do so till about l.43, when he vsas legally advised that it might b3 necessary to pro teet his estate. It is pleasant to record that the or.ee odious name of Hessian no Ion er attaches to that mutuality. Af-.er my "Luther Centennial'' ad tlreis a'. Concord in 1SS3, in which 1 i.iluded to the Hessians of the Dutch Side, I chanced to meet our 1 ite fellow-scitizen Charlotte, Mr. C. lliiker, when Le told me with great glee, "I am a full nessian, and I am proud of all the Hesses. They, too, are now free and enlightened, and we thank America for it." And such seems to be the coming verdict of History. The Hessians were probably not the hated mer cenaries our ancestors painted them They were rather the victim3 of the last vestige of Feudalism that still 1. -r. 3u.iv in central Europe.

Why cloes not it make meat low? il eat i3 a Xorthern product; cot ton is a Southern product. The President of the United States has made meat high. In his letter of acceptance, he said that the people of the United States were to be coun gratulated that meat was now free to enter foreign ports. The prohi bition. Lad been taken off ot meat The pries of cotton kept up till 1890. The fall in cotton began in October, 1S90. The McMinley law went into effect Oct. Cth, 1890. In 84 days after this law, the price of cotton fell 2 1 cents cn the pound. Why? Why? Because the McKin lew law put a prohibition on the importation of cotton goods into this country. The foreign markets could not afford to give so much for cotton. Thus you see, the prohibi tion off of meat, the price increases; the prohibition raised on cotton, the price decreases."

The action oi the Democrats and Populists in several parts of the State to day makes plain what the iour "Weaver electors were put on the Democratic national ticket for. At Rochester two candidates for Legislature were nominated by the populists, and the Democrats promptly endorsed them. The same tmng was done in three other counties. The schem? is to bring about fusion in every part of the State. The Populist will with draw all their candidates in St. Paul and Minneapolis and in return the Democrats will withdraw all their candidates in the Alliance strongholds. The plan as laid ont contem- lates the control of the Lower House with the view of send ing juicaaei uoran, jjemo ratic National Committe man, to the Uni;ed States Senate to succeed Washburn.

Mrs. Harrison's constitution seems to be yielding to the effects of the disease from which she is suffering and she is gradually growing weaker. The nourish ment consisting ol raw eggs and beef tea, which has been so important an element in keeping up her strength is now taken in smaller quanti ties. She rests quietly as a rule, and sleeTts much of the time, but awakes exhausted nut refreshed. The cough. which has distressed her a intervals has ceased, but this is regarded as an unfavorabl symptom. The disease is pros gresing rapidly and the left lung is now involved.

How a nlf-Harrlrl Couple Em'Ai oil Hie calitliituipluiitt. Out in Kausa3 a few months ago, aid Foster Lonsdale to a Globe- Democrat reporter, a young miner married a bashful country girl after a brief courtship. He knew about what to expect froai hi3 rough corm panions, and when they came to charsvari him, the boarding house keeper, where he had taken a room, informed them that the newly mar ried couple were not in the house, and such proved to be a fact. The ;;room had secured a leave of ab sence for a week and neither his laudlady ror anyone else coulJ tell where he had gone. At the end of a week he and his tride returned jusi as mysteriously a3 they had departed, and no one knew where he had spent his honey- nioon. He finally admitted to me in confidence, after I had appointed him pit bo;s in one of our coal mines on the Sante Fe Road, that be and his sweetheart had talked the mat ter over, and just before they were married they had taken a lot of provisions, bedding, etc., do .vn into a coal mine which had just been "worked out," and the night after their wedding had disappeared into the earth. It was not quite as swell as a trip to Paris, I imagine, but it certainly carried off the palm for originality. St. JLouis Globe-Dcno- crat. i tu res! by "Kentucky Kill.' New York, October 14.

CONCORD NC. THURSDAY. OflTOttFR 90 lR)-2 A IVomaii'M Ncntcncn Comuiiitetl. Gov. Holt ha3 commuted to a sentence for life in the penitentiary the-death sentence of Leah Nixon who wa3 convicted of murder in the first dejrrce in Pt-rauimans countv in the fall term of 1892 and sen tenced to be hanged December 2nd, 1S92, As reaso:i3 for hi3 action the Gov ernor says: In this case itappears that Leah Nixon and Martha Holt were tried upon two bills of indict ment charging them both w ith mur der in the C-st count and Martha Holt with being accessory before the fact in the second count. The State had no evidence against Mar tha Holt (who was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life) except by using Loan Nixon upon, whose testimony she was convicted. The Judge and Solicitor who tried the case ask for commutation of sentence of Leah Nixon on the round that she was a mere tool of Martha Holt, being a half-witted creature, and wa3 induced to do what she did by threats and prom ises. ihey show that there are many authorities showing that a prisoner used by the State has the right to clemency, that the death sentence wa3 pronounced as a mat ter of form such being the facts in the case, sentence is commuted to imprisonment for life in the State penitentiary. IT 'Tis True, "TIh Iity. A young girl of not more the 22, while on a yatchin party one day last summer, took preceptibly too much drink. Everybody supposed that it was an unfortunate accident, but during the subsequent winter, at a ball given in a private house, a similar misadventure happened to her, her condition being such that two young men who had been on the yatcbing party aforesaid, were obliged to hide her away up sair3, taking turns at guarding her, so that she could not escape and make an exhibition of herself. Of course, however, the story got around. There is champagne at dinner parties, champagne at balls, champagne on the lawn at fete3 champetre always champagne, ac companied by other tempting drink ables, with which the young women are plied by beaux who have moie than commonly tiken more of the same than was good for them, Any observant person who will take no tice of the fashionable women on coaches at the races or on festiye oc casions at Newport will remark that they juite usually exhibit symptora3 of h iving partaken too freely from the"bottle3 that are kept convivially popping. What wonder that young married women have frequently to powder their ncses. Washington Evening Star, A ringuc of lllhcria. Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 14.
