Conversing with a buggy maker,
he told us why buggies used to be
made without "lazy-backs." It was
customary for the dear girls to
assist nature in working deformities
by wearing "bustles." When,
therefore, a young man hired a
buggy for a "lark," the first thing
he did was to remove the "lazy
back," in order that his fair com
panion might have ample room for
her dorsal appendage. To save
the yonng men trouble, manufact
urers began to construct buggies
without backs. This continued
until the bombastic "bustle" sub
sided into innocuous desuetude,
when the .good old "lazy-back"
came itti vogue again.

A TASTE OF WAR.
Havana Blorkado la HUH Effectual
A tiood Haul Made B Americana
Manila to He Taken Neat.
The taste of war was given the
Spanish at Matanzas Wednesday at
12-57 o'clock. They were erecting
eome fortifications. The Pruitan
and the Cincinnati opened fire for
18 minutes and spoiled works. Hear
Admiral Sampson expressed him
self as satisfied with the results.
The Spanish returned the fire but
no damage was done to the Ameri
can vessels as none struck a vessel.
The blockade before Havana
seems effectual. It is not known
how many slip through but every
cow and then one does not make it.
The monitor Terror captured the
steamer Ambrosa Bolivar off Car
denas Wednesday night. It bad
160,000 in silver and a cargo of
bananas for Havana.
It is confidently expected that
our Pacific Squadron will take
Manila in the Philippine Islands as
a Pacific base of operations. The
insurgents will of course co-operate.
It ia hoped that our fleet there
may be able to clear the Pcific ocean
of Spanish Ships.
A dispatch from Havana claims
that the Spanis'j steamer Montes
errat from Cadia with $3,00,000
in silver and a quantity of ammuni
tion slipped through (he blockade,
also that the Spanish gunboat
Leigera was attacked near Cardena
by an American tarpedo boat de
stroyer. The Leigera it is said
anewered with 11 shots by which
the American vessel was injured
and retreated. But this is Spanish
news. Dispatches say that she re
ceived injury from improper hand
ling that injured one of her en
gines. Dispatches from Madrid claim
that the Spanish gunboat Elcano
of the Philippine Squadron captur
ed the American Bark Saranac
with 1,640 tons of coal, the very
thing the Spanish want worst.
This too is Spanish news.
It is asserted and denied that
the Spanish Flotilla has left the
Cape Verde Islands. More or lees
uneasiness is felt that this fleet may
attack our coast cities instead of
going to Havana. Blanco keeps up
the idea that be can hold Havana
without the aid of the fleet.
Spanish vessels are cruising
about Gibraltar on the lookout for
any merchant vessels that may
come along.

To Prevent Hoc Cholera.
We clip the following from the
State Bulletin. It is a rather tedious
compound, but if we should be
threatened with bog cholera again
it wcnld be well to get a druggist to
compoand it in quantity and sell ai
wanted:
"The government receipt is as
follows: Wood charcoal one ponn,
sulphur o-e pound, sodium sulphate
(Glaubers silts) one ponnd, anti
mony sulphide one ponnd, sodium
chloride (common salt) two pounds,
sodium bicarbonate two pounds,
sodium hyposulphite two pounds.
Pulveriz. these ingredients perfectly
and mix thoroughly. The dose of
this mixture is a large tablespoonful
for each 200 pounds of bog given
once daily. When hogs are licK,
feed soft food made by mixing bran
and middlings, or middlings and
corn meal, or ground oats and corn,
or crushed wheat with hot water
and stirring in this medicine. Hogs
are fond of these mixtures and the
appetite is increased. Animals so
sick that tbey cannot eat oan be
drenched by shaking the medicine
up in water, XJ.e as a preventive
by feeding to the whole herd."
A Haunted Mouse Excitement.
At 12 o'clock last Monday nigbt
a family was scared out of a bonce
near the depot and moved out of it
yet that nigbt. Superstitiously in
clined, tbey said tbey could not sleep
for the groans ot some person and
they could not keep the door clo ed
and at once arrived at the conclusion
that the bouse was haunted.
Policeman Boat and Mr. S.-im
Ritch visited the house at night
since and spent about an hour and a
half hoping to yet find out what a
haunted honse was. Tory found
that the groans desenbeu by the
family was nothing more than the
wind blowing throogb a crack in
the bouse which was papered. As
for the door coming open they found
nothing sncpicious. And so the
haunted bouse tale ia no more but
its memories will linger wi'h that
family of white people who moved
out in tbe dead hours of the night

On Thur day night on LI. way
borne from the cake walk, a young
man of our city espied two persons
sitting on the steps at Sloop's shop,
and as they wtre bundled up with
their overcoats and sitting on tbe
steps at such an hour in the night,
tbe young man named the matter
on tbe telephone to a person. After
notifying tbe police headquarters il
was found to be Chief of Pjlice Bo

tongh, suspicious looking characters
that were e een.

discussion of the "Place of Our Aca

AROUND TBEY GO,

Fall While Other Gam.
The cake walk Thursday night
was fairly successful, though not
roaringly so. The hall would have
accommodated more and the jivial
feature would have been enhanced
by a more general participation in
the walk. Each presence, though,
meant a contribution to tbe Con
federate banner and every feature of
tbe evening was enjoy ible.
The male quartette, consisting of
Messrs. Lentz, Crittenden, Eeesler
and Watton rendered ' Tenting on
the Old Camp Ground" and "My
Old Kentucky Home." The Utter
was good, but the former was to the
writer's mind rendered with snch
exqnifite harmony and touching
pathisas to be worth the price of
admission if such effort can be said
to have monetary valne. It was ex
ceedingly gratifying,
Toe walking was p'easing till it
came to contesting for the booby
prize when tbe house was literally
brought down. People if ten pay
for something to laugh about, and
here again tbey probably eot Taloe
for their money.
The contest having been finished,
Prof. J D Lentz in a neat historical
and patriotio speech presented that
superbly trimmed cake to Mrs. John
Wadsworth and Mr. A J Yorke.
Mr. H 8 Puryear in presenting
the tecond prize, a beautiful cake,
to Mrs. H M Barrow and Prof. J D
Lenlz, traced tbe origin tf the cake
walk to the colored race and from
there clear back to nowhere. His
speech afforded a good hit of merri
ment Prof. Crittenden then called up
Mrs. R E Gibson and Mr. H M WiN
son to receive tbe booby przj. He
thought that in that contest be had
gotten a longslooked-for glance at
the scientist's missing link, and that
a regiment of tbe kind paraded in
Cuba would put a sudden end to the
war. He bad seen specimens of
draegle-footed, lankctepping, wab-ble-gaited
curiosities, but to them
be gave tbe oake.
The piano kept up strains chiefly
of martial music.
ine wnoie evenings exercises
were enjoyed as a sort of Baltimore
Clover Club diversion.
The judges appointed to watch
with keenest eye tbe most graceful
and ungraceful gaits of the passers
by consisted of Meedames R A
Brown and S J Lowe, Miss Lila Bar
rett, Kev, J C Davis and Mr. D B
Coltrane. There was quite a diff
erence of opinion, but they at lest
reached their decisions.
In order that everyone might be
fortunate enough to get a cake,
proper persons passed around some
small ones to all.
In the centre of the hall was a
fine chocolate cake, a piece of which
was to be taken by every member in
tbe house. The cake contained a
gold ring, several needles and a
thimble. Whoever found the thim
ble in their piece of cake never con
fessed it.
MOTES.
The hey-diddle-diddle walk of the

4 Valuable 1'rlze Tho First Blood
It now seems settled that Cuba
is to be invadod at an early day.
Eight large steamers bave been
chartered to transport troops.
The troops at Cbickamauga are
expected to be ordered to Jack
sonville, Fla., and those at New
Orleans to Tampa. The advance
guard to Ctba will be about 8,000
troops.
While preparations for the
movement to Cuba goes on no
stone is left unturned to defend
our coast cities against any daDger
of a dash by Spanish gunboats.
The monitor Taseaio is ordered
from Fort Royal, 8. C, to New
Orleans and the monitor Nan
tucket goes from Wilmington to
take the place of the Passaic.
The shelling of the defense at
Mantanzas seems to have more
significance than at first appeared.
The American vessels were mak
ing a reconnoisance in force with
in about five miles ot Matanzas
when the Spanish batteries open
ed fire. With dreadful resentment
the New York, which was then
furthest away, moved np closer
and opened fire with others. Tbe
rapid fire guns made it exceeding
ly interesting and in 18 minutes
every fpanieh gun was silenced
and it is believed that it will be
impossible for tho Spaniards to
relit the fortifications in time for
defense. One Spanish gunner
sent several shots fairly near the
New York but none bit her.
It is amusing to read the Span
ish, account which says the Ameri
cans were obliged to retreat and
that several were killed.
At about 10 miles oft Cordenas
tbe monitor Terror and the gun
boat Macbias Captured the laige
Spanish steamer Uuido bound
from Cornnna to Havana with
. . . .i
cargo oi provisions and money
thought to be for the Spanish
troops.
The steamer put out her lights
and tried desperately to escape,
but four shots from the Monitor
and one from the gun boat, two of
which went crashing through the
pilot house, and one striking
a boat, convinced tbe Guido that
e Obits to escape were too danger
ous, and she surrendered just in
time to avoid heavy guns that
were being trained on her.
The splinters from the pilot
honse were driven into the breast
ot a bpaniard and inflicted a
probably fatal wonnd. Captain
Kicbionio bimselt was slightly
wounded by the same means.
The Guido is a steel cruiser 3G0
feet long, 41 toet wide. The prize
is estimated at $400,000. Her
crew consisted of 3G men.
The Blg-nal Corps Not Included.
After our boys have been drill
ing in their signal work for quite
awhile and bave been made to re
cruit to the desired number, Adju
tant General Cowles telegraphed
Thursday evening that the
Signal Corps was not included in
the first call for volunteers. But,
as tho boys bad already deaided
to volunteer for the coming war,
quite a number of them at once
enlisted in the Cabarrus Light
Infantry.
We commend the action of
these boys in the above. Even
though they will not make a sal
ary of $35 or $10, as they would
haye done in the Signal Corps,
still they volunteer their services
to serve in tho army at a small
salarv of $13 per month. But the
prospect is that some of them will
see better days,
Tbe following appeared in the
Raloigh Morning Post :
"The Signal Corps at Concord
has jot frit, and the boys are
made ot the right kind of stuff. Un
der the call the Corps could not be
mustered into the troops, and up
on beiu? so notified, Capt. Smith,
of the Corp, wired tbe Adjutant
GcLeral last evening ; '1 and mj

pany G, Fourth Regiment, at
Concord as privates. We're at

"If it is pos3iblerthe Adjutant

lo l lie NpnnlKh.
The situation this (Saturday)
morning is quiet enough along the
line of battle, so tar as news eoes.
Spain's neutrality decree is in
substance as follows:
1. Forbids the equipment of
pnvateere in Portuguese waters.
2. Forbids the entrance of pri
vaieers in Portuguese watere.
3 Permits belligerents to make
a short stay at Portuguese ports.
4 Defines legitimate trade a

trading in goods which mav be
oonpidered contraband of war.
5 Warns Portuguese and for
eigners in Portugal against ac
tions contrary to the security of the
State.
6 Refuses protection to any in
fringers of the decree.
This settles tbe maltrr of the
Spanish fleet's making the Cape
Verde Islands a base of operations.
1 he Haet is said to have left the
islands, though it is said that a
part cl the fleet has suffered some
injury and bas put back to port.
The remainder, it is said, has cart
ed. If so, it is plain enough that
they mean to fight us like the Cu
bans have fought them, dash in and
do mischief; then getaway without
staying to see the end.
The most momentous issue iust
before us is that of our Pacific
Squadron, which ia expected tj en-
counter the Spanish fleet besidu the
defenses at Manila, the principal
city of the Philippines, which is
said to be the objective point.
Whatever unfavorable news mav
come from there may be greatly
distorted too at first, for the Span
ish have tbe cables.
The Chickamauga troops bave
goes to Tampa, Fla., and are ex
pected to be on Cuban soil probably
