LbOUT THil INNOVATION. Science Has Frightened One Man, and Here is Hie Extent of It. Ma. Editor: It is the function of the individual mind to form its own conclusions, but when we speak or write them, we impress those who giye consideration to them. With yonr permission will expose to view some of the impressions and the thihts inspired by the discus sion m the Standard of the "Indi vidual tDup." I confess that "Silly and tiring," as well as "The Devil at the Bottom" do not sound to me just like courtesy to those of cou trary views. "Not to ..be justified on any Ground," is met witb, "Has two Sides." ' "Smacks of Caste" seems to me to 1 nply a misconception of the prac tical application of what is feared to be "A Dangerous departure Farce." With due diference to the class of men who have risen to speak on this vdvancir? issue, it seems to me welfenonghrV accord to scientific inyestigation much ineJjit for meet jng the f rowing eyils to wnicn v.e are exposed, aud if, in the) enthu siasm, thev lead a little too fast for us to follow, it may not be best id pull too hard the other way. I will not attempt to discuss the microscopic phenorrina, I cannot, but will defer to those able to speak from knowledgbut to say the least, drinking from the same cup with others is not always agreeable, and when it is the Bame cup and tie same contents it is a thing not to be expected save on the particular oc casion of communion when the sac -redness and the solemnity of ; the oc casion must overcome, with all other weakness of the flesh, this feeling of repugnance to a practice which our Gir&fUo. seems to have out grown The .'writer remembers the time when in some neighboring families each brake off a piece of bread, thrust a fork into it and dipped ir-o one common dish of gravy. The tact that the very air, our cooking departments, etc., contain the germ, of disease doe3 not argue for a lacfc of precaution froui the communicn cup but for .Tigilance along every practicable line. We would not ini differently inhale the breath of a difeased person. There should be more efforts to prevent contamina tions in water, air, food etc. Ic is probably not so much the well that fear or realize the danger of communicatioi from the diseased as it is the solicitude of the diseased for the safety of others that makes this a question one that may well be considered tnd discussed in a fair and impartial manner. It is a fact that there are such as hesitate to go .0 the communion table through re. Juctance to having others drink aftpr them a thing they would not allow under any other circum stances. It is true that such may be abnor mally excitedbut with the warn ing voice of science ringing in their eirs it is . likely to continue the same. In soldier days when canteens, not cups, were used for drinking, persons of refined taste usually poured out a little wa'er before drinking to, at least, partially, rinse and cleanse the mouth of the canteen. Catholics have been seen wipe the cross after each deyotee had kissed it. The fact that the gospel writers say cup does not seem to me to say that cups should not be "used. The bowl is a term often nsed for -all manner of drinking spiritous liquors. If we have in the past practiced the use of one cop, may we not ex pect divine protection against the eyils to which we, in ignorance, ex pose ourselves, while it would be preBumpuon to practice tne same against Letter lieht? Who can say now many nave or have not contracted' malady from the one cup ? As to the great number of Episco pal ministers who are . required to drain the cup and seem to to so with impunity,the thought occurs to the writer that a stimulant is recom mended as a safeguard against the dangers of disease which especially exposed,' and the quantity left by the communicants is generally much more (ban that absorbed by tLe corns municaut. The one it. does not stimulate, the other it may. Now the writer does not see that -the Indiyidual Cup would detract from the sanctity of the seryice ; nor, that there should be a kitchen and hot water con - nected. If. the cups were not wash ed at all, but only emptied, it would meet a positive demand of common, every-day practice, while a wiping ... oat with sice clean nspkiDS might j VOL. VIII MO. 43. be done noiselessly and quickly. A proper officer might replace them with winf. on a suitable waiter for distribution. Not more than twice the number of cups for a set of communicants would be necessary and they should be alike. If it would help to prevent this much-to-be-deplored doubling, and shuffling around altars as if there would be no other chance it would serve one good purpose. People might find out that when the table is surrounded they could be seated and wait for another oppor tunity.

Porter's is a small station on the Yadkin Railroad, four miles this side of Norwood. YeBterday morn ing about .9 o'clock it was the scene of a tragedy that may prove fatal to one of the actors. Mr. E W Stedman, a merchant, and Mr. J II Fleming, Eection mas'er of the Yadkin road, had a dispute over a bill due Mr. Stedman.

Joke on Ransom The Washington correspondence of the Scotland Neck Democrat puts it in this shape : Last Tuesday the brilliant and Versatile John K Morris went with General Ransom to see Mr. Cleve land in the interest of a friend of Mr. Morris who wants a place. Mr. Morris t -Id Mr. Cleveland a joke on Minister Ransom iu the presence of the Cabinet officers and Chauncev Depew which made the new minis ter blnsn. It was about the old dar key in Northampton county, who, when he heard, that the President had appointed General Ransom to his present position exclaimed : "De President has made Oin'ral Ransom a minister !

Last werk . attempts were made on the same day to burn St Dominie's and St, Patrick's Cathedral churches.

The nucleus of a fortune, amount ing to $679.17,' will be awaiting Sherman K. Jennelle, aged two months, upon his arrivirg at the age of 21 years. The" accumulation of this tidr sum was the carrying out of a bright and novel idea of an eastern lady after whom the child was namd, and as a hint that might be taken advantage of by many parents in moderate circumstance?. One day last week J A Jennelle, ageptoflhe Red Line, and well- know l in railroad circles and on Change, dropped into the Mississippi Valley Tru6fc Company and . ap proaching Secretary Chandler, said that he had a little business to transact with him, at the same time handing him a $20 bill, which he placed upon depnsite to the credit of his two-months old son, Sherman K to remain at interest for 21 years. "This fund," explained Mr. Jennelle, "and the novel idea are from Mrs. George B Sherman, of Buffalo, N. Y., whose husband is general manager of the Vanderbilt fast freight lines, and after whom the little one is named." With a smile, Mr. Chandler said that he would fix the youngest out, and going to the book-keeper personally attended to the drawing up the necessary papers. Handing oyer the documents to Mr. Jennelle, he said, "your son Sherman K., is the youngest depositor we have on our books, and I think, the youngest in the country. A similar amount, it is said.will be added to his account on each of the little one's birthdays, which, with an accured interest, will give the young man good start in life when he arrives at age. St. IjOuis Republic. A Popnlist Free Flbt. Lincoln, Neb., March 28. The Senat Chamber jwas the scene of a personal encounter today, just before aojourcment, between'Senator Stew art, a Populist, and Sergeant-at-Arms. While speaking against a bill Stew art wpj interrupted on a point of order by 'Noyes, of Douglas. Con trary to preceded Stewart ignored the point, and a'so the presiding officer, when he asked him repeated ly to be seated. The Sergeant-at-arms was directed to quiet tin speaker, but Stewart resisted. The two men clinched and fought up and down the aisle. Dale, another Populist, sprang to assist hia colleague, but was roughly thrown to the floor by two Republi can members. Jeffreys, also a Populist, started for the combatants, shouting loudly tnat he could whip any man on the floor. McKteley, cf Webster, the Giar.t of the Senate, caught him, forced him into a cluir and held him. The presiding officer rushed down the aisle, parted the two original combatants and finally brought about order. A resolution was in troduced requiring Stewart to apolo gize within twenty-four hours or subject himself to a vote of censure. The Hoarding House Bed Tax. The last Legislature amended the revenue act so as to tax boat ding house beds 50 cents each. Mr. J W Gray, proprietor of the Cooper Eouse, has 36 beds and the fusion Legislature will cost him just $18 in taxes that he has not paid hertofore. But Mr. Gray is a good Republican and we suppose he won't kick about it. 'Squire Billy Mills was appoint ed magistrate and we suppose the fees of his offine will in a measure compensate him for the bed tax lie has to pay on account of his hotel. There are several botrding houses in town and all of them tnat far. nish rooms will be liable to the tax. Went Home Empty Handed.

Last week Mrs. Catherine De Vaughan, of Robi binsville, Graham county, applied to the Governor fo." Lppointment as a notary but the Governor refused to appoint her. The act is unconsti tutional, as the constitution says only electors shall hold office and only males are electors. The New York College of Veteri nary Surgeons last November pur chased a horse for antitoxine ex periments. He was suffering at the time from an injured hoof and $10 was paid for him. Since that time 15 quarts of seium, or antitoxine fluid, have been extracted from bis veins, representing 45 quarts of blood. This antitoxine has doubtless saved the l yes of scores of poor children.

For the past several weeks rail road men are having a pretty tough experience with tramps at this place. They are all going north, having been South for the winter. Recently sixteen were fiired out of one box car of Captain Parker s train at the depot. Thursday night, as the local passenger rolled in from Charlotte, it brought on its "blind baggage" eight of these worthless people. They were fired of! and left with us. They did not tarry long, however, as tramps have a horror at the sight of Chief Boger or his assistants. Mr. Al.

Crossing the street they made me hold up my hands and disarmed me. I being an officer, they marched me into Morris' store and told me as soon as they had robbed the store they would kill me. An Indian who was on the porch at the time thev held m up, stepped out of the hotel and uotified the Indian sheriff Tho got a party of men and advanced to the store into which I bad been taken. As the sheriff and Dosce ame up the robbers ran out and the fight commenced. Williams and Sanders were killed.
