Chorus of lawyers "Step right into the jury box." His Bole, The Argonaut. . . ' A well-known lawyer on circuit in the north of. England, curious to know how a certain juryman arrived at his verdict, meeting him one day, ventured to ask. "Well," replied he, "I'm a plain man, and I like to be fair to everyone. J don't go by what the witnesses say, and I don't gohy what the lawyers say, and I jdon't go by what the judge says; but J looks at the man in the dock, and I says, 'He must have done something or he wouldn't be there,' so I brings 'em all in 'guilty." We see that the call is made. on the State Democracy for increased educa tional facilities, How far is this thing to go ? It stands now at 5,000 teachers and a million and a quarter, dollars an nually. The few who are very rich and the many who are very poor can stand it perhaps, but how about the common people Who are worth from $1,000 to $5,000 in property and who are the bone and sinew of the State ? Can they bear additional burdens of taxation to edu cate other people's children ? WThere is paternalism to stop ? " If the principle is right, why not run it to the end on that line ? - Why not give a high school ed ucation and a tollegiate finish to every boy and girl in the land- and tax the people to pay for it? While we are seizing railroads let us seize the colleges, too, and run them. Why not make the system universal and complete and build colleges in every town ? Why not furnish books and globes and charts to the pupils of all the schools ? If a boy is lame and cannot(walk, why not fur nish a horse and buggy for him to ride to school in ox-else provide a tutor or a governess to teach in the family ? Where did this new fad, this new de parture, come from, anyhow ! Our forefathers thought it honest and fair for a man to pay for his children's schooling just like he paid for their clothes and they would have been shocked at the idea of being forced to pay to educate other people's children. But New England got up this thing on the idea that education made good citi zens and, therefore, it must be univer sal. And so the new system workecKts way down South and it looks like it is not only a fixture, but must be enlarged. New England would take the back track now if it could, for it has been demonsirated that public school educa tion does not make good citizens, but on the contrary, increases crime; "not just a little, but immensely," says Jlr. Stetson, the statistician of Massachu setts. That State has now five tunes; as many white criminals as Georgia in proportion to population, and another Dr. Parkhust is now in Boston exposing its municipal corruption. The old fashioned school, where the teacher was directly responsible to the patrons, has never been excelled and. the private schoolstin every town and city; is proof that the people are not satisfied, f But how are the poor children to be edu cated ? In the same good old way. We never knew one to be turned off for pov erty, but it left a debt behind and it ought to. The doctor does not refuse to attend the poor, but he keeps books and charges it up and they pay when they can. The obligation is upon them. Paternalism has run mad in this coun try and it is the foundation of indolence and communism and anarchy. Heard a good man say yesterday that his school tax was a burden, an oppression, and amounted to 7 per cent, of his in come, and it was filched from him by law to support 5,000 teachers and edu cate other people's children black and white. And it was worse than that, for nearly half of it was carried off to other counties and spent, perhaps wasted in the piney woods, or on the mountains of Hepsidam, "where the lion roareth and the whangadoodle mourneth for its first born." Well, it is an outrage up on human rights. Our school tax in this county is $27,000 and $10,000 of it is transferred elsewhere. That's what is called equahzaticn. I would rather give my part of that surplus to my wife fpr the missionary society, for then she couid keep track of it and know who got it. I saw a big black negro the other day who pocketed $600 of our school fund and carried it off to Atlanta, where he lives, and another man car ried away more than that tp Tennessee, where he lives. They will want a horse and buggy after awhile, or free trans portation over the roilroads that are to be seized and run for the public benefit. I tell you that we are tired. The on excuse offered is that it makea good citizens. But the records don t prove it. The penitentiary reports disprove it. Go to New York and New England and Illinois and'see. Mr. Stetson says that fully 50 per cent, of their convicts have a h,igh school education, and 12 per ' cent, are graduates of a college, and only 4 per cent, of the whole num ber are unable to read and write. What 13 to become of our college boys, any how? What are; they going to do? We see that some of them went back to Athens last commencement and got on a tare and tried to bulldoze the chancellor into taking a drink. V ell, of course they are not a sample of the graduates, but what are the well-behaved boys go ing to do ? The teacher's occupation is about full, unless, indeed, we are to have more educational facilities. Law and medicine are full and loafing is running oyer, ?Iear4 a good, kind, in dulgent father say the other day: "It is the most anxious trial of my life : to determine what to do with my boy, who has lust graduated. What then? Shall we not send our boys to college Not as a matter of course, More than half who Rave been sent , were unfit for the trust to risk the experiment. If eight years of school life, from eight to sixteen, and four years of college life frorn, sixteen to twenty, does not unfit a boy for work, then he is an extraordi nary youth, and deserved a college ed ucation. The trouble is that parents are loving and hopeful anbj. ambitious for their boys to make their mark in the world, but I can prove by five pa rents out of six who have boys in col lege inat mere was Dut one of tne sjx who was fitten to go.

A CONFEDERATE'S STRATAGEM. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Durina the civil war the confederate but provides free schools for poor children who are under twelve years of age. The presumption ; is that then they should go to work. ' But the present disposition ; is to de grade manual labor if possible. ' The dignity of labor is the poet's dream. There is not much dignity in digging a ditch or pulling fodder j or scalding a hog or cleaning out a stable hut some body has it to do. Some folks have to cdok and some to wash,. " and some to drive the drays. Some folks are born to honor and some to dishonor, and there is no use in fretting about it. To labor in some way is the common lot, and it is the law, both human and di vine. AH of us would like to have choice of work, but we can't. There is a colored teacher on trial here now for telling his pupils that they ought to rise above doing menial work for the white folks and that it was high time the col ored race should quit cooking arid wash ing and waiting on them . ' This is the accusation, and it comes from some of the patrons of the colored school. What was proven I did not know. He is a smart, well-educated negro, a graduate of Clark University and has conducted himself in a respectful and proper man ner and is a superior teacher. But the question arises, what are the negroes ;todo for a living if they don't pursue these mental occupations for the white folks'? Suppose the negro men get on a high horse and swear they will not, drive drays any more nor work in livery stables or hotels, or shine shoes or chop wood for the white folks, what would become of the town negro ? What would become of Aunt Ann if she didn't cook for me and get her $2 ev ery Saturday while I am taxed to edu cate her children ? It is all well enongh to rise higher if they can, but they can't and it is bad education to excite false hopes, j We have been educating these negroes for twenty-five years, and they will spend their last cent on a circus or an excursion or a funeral or for a watermelon. They still live for to-day regardless of to-morrow. There are some exceptions, but improvidence is the rule and neither teaching nor preaching has changed their race traits. The Irish emigrant might as well swear off from digging on railroads and public works as for the negro women to swear off froijn cooking and washing. But the common negro's contented disposi tion will make hini discard all such bad advice. ' What ever they deserve they will; get, and, a8 Aunt Ann says, "Effen I don't get a crown in dis worl' I will ijn de next', an' I hain't got long to wait,; thank de Lord." But j what is all this world. The gentle remonstrance of the old-fashioned few wil not avail against, the tidal wave of the inany on the subject of educa tion. Encroachments on human rights never go backwards and laws that grant pensions and plunder and privileges are rarely j repealed. Then there is the truckling fear of what our northern friends;, the enemy, would say were we stop spending money on the negro. What benefit have we ever secured from paying; obeisance to Northern opinion ? Not even an intermittal of slander, and it is humiliating to see our Governor toop to answer their accusations. Bet ter say, m the words of Col. Oates, 'What are you going U Jo about it ?" But maybe we can 6top this enormous drain lapon the treasury where it is and not any further increase the facilities. And maybe we can stop these annual dress parades of the military. If there ever wjis a time when retrenchment was demanded, it is now. And now I think J feel better for having had my say. .

Uncle" Henrv Harrison of Union county, Tenn., tells the following snake story, which is vouched for by all his neighbors : Several years ago an Italian, Joe De Novo by name, bought a small tract of mountain land about thirty miles from Caryville. Without repairing the cabin he and his wife moved into it. They were childless, and had little to do with their neighbors. The man went ' once a month to the country store, that was near by to make necessary purchases on this way until some hunters, overtaken by ;a storm late" in the afternoon, were forced to seek refuge m his cabin, lhe rami continuing un abated, they were forced to remain into the night, After supper the Italian got down his fiddle and began to play low and plain- uveiy. Jtn a snort wnue a nuge Tatue snake appeared upon the hearth, then another and another, until no less than seven wriggling serpents were in sight The hunters were terribly alarmed, but De Njovo bade them beiquiet and watch The snakes seemed filled with the wild est ecstacy; if the music was low and soft they would move in graceful curves like the mazes of the waltz; if it was iouq anu ouick tneir movements were quick; at all times thep kept the most perfect time. If the music ceased they would rush from sight, but would return immediately upon j its resumption Nunbers have visited the Itilian to Wit ness this sight. Last year De Novo died. .

Mr. George M. Pullman has issued a statement to the jfublic showing the ori gin of the present trouble among the railroads and their employes in the West. It appears that as a result of dull business Mr. Pullman reduced wages. A conference was held and a restoration of wages asked. This was declined upon the ground that the higher scale would involve loss equal to. one-fourth ol the waeres paid, the fact being that at the lower scale money was being lost and the business was being continued only to give the men employment; t The men therefore went out and the shops were shut down. The American Railroad Union took the matter up and a boycott of Pullman cars was ordered with the view of causing Pullman to take his men back at the wages for which they struck the old scale. These are the merits of the case, if Pullman tells thfr truth ; but if does not concern the public what the merits of the case are. It does not understand, how ever why it should be deprived of the comfort and convenience of sleeping cars because Mr. Pullman and his men cannot ! agree about wages, and the railroads are no doubt a good deal mystified about why they should be seized by the nape of the neck and the seat of the breeches and pitched headforemost into the midst of a fight with which they have nothing to do. , ' - Kpecimen Case. S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with Neuralgia and Bhenma tism, hia Stomach was disordered, his liver waa affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and ne was terribly reduced in flesh and strength. Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisbarg, I1L, his gun and go intothe ranks of the infantry. To be dismounted and be come and infantryman was S very un pleasant thing for many reasons and the cavalrymen were often forced to desper ate measures to avoid it. ; . The Washington Post tells a story of a confederate cavalryman whose horse had been killed in the autumn of 1863 in a skirmish near Warrenton. He put his wits to work to devise a -way in ' which to capture one from the enemy, j He was with the outside pickets and not far away on the road were the fed eral cavalry pickets. He procured from the railroad a long piece of telegraph wire and when twilight carne stretched it hrmly across the road, fastemng one end to the fence and the other to a tree, just high enough to let a horse's head go beneath it, but not high enough to let a mounted cavalryman go beneath it. Then he sneaked down the pike and came in view of the union mounted pickets. Three of them saw him and quickly gave chase. He ran for his life." It was a sharp pursuit, so that the con federate had hardly , passed beneath his wire before the three union cavalrymen were upon it. In the gathering dark ness they-saw nothing of the wire and rode upon it at full speed. . Two of the pursuers rolled upon the earth the breath quite - knocked out of them, though, as the result showed, they were not dangerously hurt. The third, by some fortunate accident, escaped thewire; but he was astonished and possibly frightened, thinking himself in some sort of ambush that he turned and rode back to the camp. , ' Meantime the two riderless horses bore down on the confederate. He watched his chance and captured first one and then the other and rode off in triumph to his own camp, the possessor of two excellent horses. As he was passing out of sight he saw the two union pickets gather themselves up in the gloom 'and start terribly crest fallen,, after their retreating (xonrade. ' It is thus that war makes a hero out of a horse thief. No Kissing. Atlantic Monthly. Kisses and embraces are simply un known in Japan as tokens of affection, if we except the solitary fact that Japan ese mothers, like mothers all over the world, hp and hug their little ones be times. After babyhood there is no more bugging or kissing. Such actions, ex cept in the case of infants, are held to be highly immodest. Never do girls kiss one another, never do parents kiss become able to walk. And this holds good of all classes of society, from the highest nobility to' the humblest peas antry. Neither have we the least indi cation throughout Japanese literature of any time in the history of the race when affection was more demonstrative than it is to-day. Perhaps the Western reader will find it hard even to imagine a literature in the whole course of which no mention is made of kissing, of embracing, even of pressing a loving hand; for hand clasping is an action as totally foreign to the- Japanese impulse as kissing. You may see again and again fathers and sons, husbands and wives, mothers and daughters, meeting after years of absence, yet you will probably never see the least approach to a caress between them. They will kneel down and salute each other, and smile.'mnd perhaps cry a little for joy; but they will neither rush into each other's arms nor utter extraordinary phrases of affection. , The Doctor and Parson. It is not an altogether unheard of thing for a clergyman, r parts of the country where clergymen always have horses, to like to drive at least as swift and spirited a horse as comports with the dignity of his office. On one occa sion such a clergyman, driving through the town, overtook a doctor of his ac quaintance on foot. Jump in, doctor, said the minister, pulling up; "I've got a horse here that goes pretty well. The -doctor "jumped in" and the minister drove off. : The horse did "go" well, in the sense of speed, but in a lit tle while it bqgan to behave .badly, and ended by tipping over the carriage, and spilling out both the occupants. The doctor jumped to his feet, feeling himself all over to see if he was injured, The parson also got on his feet. "Look here!" exclaimed the doctor, "what do vou mean bv inviting me to ride behind a horse like that?' J ' 'Well, you see, ' ' gasped the minister, "luckily this time, I guess, there are no bones broken, but on such occasions I like to have a doctor along." mm illiSl ABdOLUTEK PURE , THE COMING WAE WITH ANARCHY. Charlotte News. To the honest, liberty-loving people of North Carolina, the disgraceful con duct of the lawless gangs of - the the North, Northwest, and West seem sur prising. And yet a very small per cent, of our people have drawn a correct idea of the causes of these outbreaks against law and order. They are too unsuspi cious to ever imagine that perhaps there is a great underlying cause for it all, and that the storm that is brewing will soon become so terrific that liberty will be dethroned and anarchy crowned. They do not realize that a plot almost as old as the Christian era itself, and by far the deepest and most dangerous ever laid by the enemies of progress and freedom, is still in active existence, and is now waiting only for- a little more strength when it will without hes itation strike the blow tbat will place all republics and kingdoms at the mercy of a blind, narrow, irresponsible band, whose loyalty to sect ,of c3d is the highest loyalty they know, ouch ideas have shaped the present Italy, once the scene of so many brilliant achievements; such ideas have dragged Spain .down in to the dust and dishonored her; and the representative of such ideas sits, vulture like, watching only for an opportunity to take in hand the reins of American I government. Who cannot easily fore shadow the result, if the opportunity presents itself and he avails himself of it? Such ideas as we haye written in the above have given birth to Anarchy, and Anarchy has by the dagger spread grief over the French Republic today. Anarchy is walking abroad in the land even in" North Carolina. It is time the good poople and the Christian people of this country were waking up. It was by them and by the justness of the cause of Christianity that these ideas have been overcome in all ages and countries where they have been over come; and it is only by an earnest, vig orous Christian conquest that America will be saved from the fate, in future, that has been the share of other coun tries which started out on a broad and liberal minded basis of government. If personal popularity and the love of money did not have such a firm hold on the pulpit as it has on every branch of worldly industry, protestantistn would be aroused from its lethargy, ' and ,the world would be taken by it, and there by liberty throughout the ages assured.
