tbe question to him :
"llow long have 0U been in this

slowly and uieditatiyely said, as

"And what did you dixiover, Mr.

"A dark-.vitaged savage "
"Park-ywageil savagn, eh ? Yes ;
and what did ynu say t him ?''

"Fiue day? Yey, aud what did

Mr. March rattled off n whole

The Wilkesooro Chronicle ha-
this to say about the whiskey crop
in that "'State'':
"The prosnec's are that Wilkes
will have tho fewest number of
distilleries this season, known in her
history. There will hardly be a
bonded brandy distillery in the
connty this year, and the revenue
officer are clcsing out most of the
whiskey distilleries. There will be
yery few that surviye. Whert there
have been hundreds before there
will be scarcely a dozen. This of
course will relieve most of the rev.
enue officers in this section, as there
will bo nothing for them to do.
They will either have to go out of
business or find other fields for op

is a household necessity. It cannot

Annie Abbott, the ' Georgia mae
net,'' who gave two wonderful per
formancea in 1 his city last week, 13 a
strange aud p'lzzling specimen of
humanity. She not only threw her
audience - into a sja'e of wonder
ment, but on Tuesday rn ht she, no
doubt, accomplished a dted that
shows her power and worth superior
to many ph6icians. Rev. Z "Rush,
an aged geutleman, had been almost
deaf for a priid of nine years.
He went upon the stage and was
treated for his deafness with a rt
suit that may proye of. great b.-ntfit
to him in the wy of bearing.
While treating him, the mjeteiious
woman would tal i in a whisper and
Mr. Rjsh could her distinctly
eyery woid uttered. Since that
time Mr. Rush's hearing haB been a
great deal clearer, he thinks. It was
done simply by the touch of her
lingers to his ears.
A tlinnee to Make Koney,
I have berries, grapes and
peaches, a year old, fresh as when
picked. I use the California Cold
process, do.not heat or seal the fruit,
just put it up cold, feeeps perfectly
tresh, and costs almost notning ; can
out up a bushel in ten minutes.
List week I sold directions to over
120 families; anyone will pay a
dollar for directions, when they see
the beautiful samples of iruit. As
there are manv DeoDle Door like my
self, I consider it my duly 'lo' give
my experience to eucn, and teel
confident any one can make one or
two hundred dollars round home
iu a few days. I will mail sample
of fruit and complete directions, to
any of your readers, for eighteen
two-cent stamps, which is only the
actual cost of samples, postage, etc.,
to me. l bancib Casey,

ProfHnley II "a a ly ran t .Serve it Sot
A man uses oaths and blasphe.
mom imprecations because he rec
ognizes tbe need of strong language
but is so poorly equipped that he
cannot make it strong with simple
respectable English.
Man is defiled by sin and hence
he forgets God at.d indulges in
blasphemous and pro'anc language
He is either indifferent to what God
teaches and requires or he is forget
ful of tho solemn declaration of
God as to tbe 1 tte or the swearer,
"Aud the dead were judged out of
those things which were written in
the books, according to their works."
It would be remarkable but for itj
friquency tbut men should swear
and outrage God, their Maker.
There is a complete want of rever
ence when a man forgeis God and
the proprieties aud decencies and
uses the language of the slum and
"swears like a trooper" or the foul-
mouthed blasphenie-s. It is an
awful habit to fall into. No man is
to be excused for such offences
against God and decency. No man
not beastly in r.atnrc will swear in
tbe presence of a puie, nolle
woman. This Bhows when he
swears iu the presence of ministers
of the Gospel, before the aged, and
among renl Christians, that he is
lacking in proper breeding, is very
deficient in reverercea. It is a very
imperfect character that is without
proper reverence for God, for char
acter, for what is manly an -I good
and noble. No Eeneible nan nho
nfL'cts but must admit tbat he
giyes no force or dignity to his
opinion by putting inmost offensive
expltutivea that shock the self-
reepecting and morally upright, fnd
lowers Lis o-vn dignity, arid self.,
respect. We doobt if ; a . man of
decent manners and, prqper regard
for self ever swears and thinks, who
does not regret and condemn 'the
ile habit and deplore th? easy
slayery he wears. A true gentleman
' aho 1 1d eschew profanity as he would
ayoid a hoiue of pestileuce. He
sliou'd regard the proprieties, should
respect age, should not wantoulj
offend Christiana by a vi.'e to.igue
Lille J with awful profanities which
must be met in the world beyond.
No profane babbler will ever enter
into the kingdom of Heaven. Wil

Washington, Jane 17. Presi

New York Herald the following
statement in reply to a direct query,
ia regard to the Democratic situ'
tion ;
"I have made no bgorei as to tN
probable action of the dele-gait -1 '
aire idy chosen or to be chosen' "ta
the Democra'.ic national conventio
but I refuse to believe that wher:-
tne time arrives lor deliberate v

our Democratic creed a demand for
the free, unlimited aud independent
coinage of silyer, I cannot bell j 0
this, bacauae I know tbe Democratic
party is not unpatriotic nor foolish,
and because it Beems so clear to too
that such a course will inflict a yery
great injury upon eyery interest of
our country, which it has been t'i
mission of the Democracy to ai
vance, and will result in lasting
disastei to our party organizition
There is little hope that, as rr.ean
of Buccess, this free silver proposi
tion, after its thorough (iiscajttkn
during a political . campaign, will
attract a majority of,, tho votei.01..
the country, Itmasthe that many
.of the illusions influencing thosj
now relying upon this "alleged pana
cea for their ills, will be dispelled
before the lime comts for them lo
cast their ballots which will expr'tt
their sober second thought. "
"The adoption by the Democracy
of this propositi d would, I believ. .
give to our opponents an adyantaj?,
both in ths present and the futc-.-,
which they do not deserve.
"My attachment to true Demi 1
racy is bo Btrong tbat I copsider u-t
success as identical with the proi , -tion
of the country' good, lis:
ought sufficiently to acconnt for xy
acxiely that no mistake be madi t

there is danger of a mistake be:ng
