The Oyster Keefi of North Carolina. Baltimore Sun. "The Oyster Reef 8 of North Carolina" is the title of a geological and economic I study by Dr. Caswell Grave, of the Hop- kins, published in the university circu- lars. Dr. Grave illustrates bis subject bv an account of the growth of islands ivnd reefs in Newport river, a tidal stream, which empties into Beaufort harbor, North Carolina. Ha shows that oysters build up islands in a very peculiar manner. The oyster reefB extend out into the Btream across the current and ordinarily at right angles with the shore. At the shore end of the reef, as the current becomes slug gish and ceases to bring sufficient food to the oysters, they die and the reef at that end ceases to grow. At the other end, however, the growth is continual The silt setters between the reefs and the bottom rises as fast as the young oysters grow upon the empty Bhella of those which have been eonothered This goes on until finally the level of high tide is reached and grass begins to grow upon the exposed surface. This study of the growth and condi tion of the natural beds has an obvious bearing upon the methods of oyster culture. The lesson Dr. Grave draws. as be says, is not new, but he gives for the ordinary teaching of experience a scientific reason and basis. The' following rules are laid down for oyster planting: Plant oysters where t lere arc good currents and not in slug' gish water. P ant shells or other ob? jcts to catch the spat, at right angles to the currents, riant on the elevated parts of the bottoms, as they are apt to be freer from sediment. - Will Dam the Yadkin Rlf er, Knoxville, Tenn., May 4.

It is only a little book a very lit tle book that the author haa aent to me, but a perusal of ita pagea haa im presed me profoundly and ha proved a real comfort in my old age. I have read most of it aloud to. my wile ana daughters and it haa comforted them and established them more firmly in the faith, it that were possible, Thia book is only is only 6x8 and contains 100 pages 111 large pnnt very large so that veterans might read it without glasses or a strain of the optic nerve. lis moaesi tine is a wiance v,uir rent History," by Colonel Jphn Cus sons,.oftilen Allen, Va- It i the work of a retired Confederrte veteran, who is known and loved by all Vjr- . . . s ginians and who was grana ora niander of the grand camp of Virginia Confederate veterans and the inti mate friend of General Maury, Dr. Himter McOuire. Fitahugh Lee and Joseph E. Johnson. This book was written with no selfish moti ve.neuner for profit or fame, nor with any de sire of crimination, but rather to heal the breach and at the same time pre serve the truth of history and hand it down to our children. There is not a line of malice or revenge within it pages, but a high-toned, dignified, conservative appeal to his camrades to uphold the government that is now a nation and at the same .time defend the; south from any taint upon her honor. It is beautifully written in thoughts- that breathe and words that burn and no man, north or south, can question a statement- contained within it. 1 wish that I was a mil lionaire. I would place a copy of this book in the home of every family in the Bouth and in the hands of every young man, and I would make it a little text book of history in every public school. There are only six .chapters, each not more than ten minutes long, but there is not a wasted sentence nor a paragraph too much. The last chapter is a defense of the American Indian, for the author Vas long a frontiersman and lived among them and mingled with them for many years, and as General Maury said of him, "Hevhas more thoroughly studied the Indian character than any man now living." The first chapter is devoted to a review of a United States history recently written and published by Professor Goldwin Smith, an Englishman, who was for years' a professor of history in Cornell university, and js now a doctor 01 canon law in Toronto, Canada. This history is published both in London and in New York, and is amazingly popular both in England and the north. It is. intensely venomous against the south, and especially against Virginia. Now listen for a few moments at some of his historical utterances taken verbatim from his book. Listen and wonder that such a book could find patrons anywhere: "South Carolina got her start by combining buccaneering with slave owning and making her ports a shel ter for Dirates and corsairs, sucn as Ca otain Kidd and Blackbeard. "Georgia was the refuge of the pau- per and bankrupt. Her first settler? were good-for-nothings who had failed in trade a shiftless and lazy set but later on some better elements came iu Highlanders, Moravians and per secuted Protestants of Salzburg. "The first settlers of Virginia were an unpromisiug lot lackeys, beggars, broken down gentlemen and tapsters out of a job. To this crew of vagar bonds were afterward&Added, jailbirds. English convicts were offered their choice between the gallows and Vir ginia, and some were wise enough to choose the gollows. Even their place of settlement Jamestown has long been a desolation. They were not such colonists as the PuritanB. They made the Indians work for them. while the Puritans worked for them selves. Many of them were kidnap ed from the streets of London and all were of depraved character. After wards came African slavery, the bane of Virginia and her ultimate ruin. As were the people so were their lead ers. A cmei iomentor 01 tne quarrei J4 1 .!.... 1 with England was Patrick Henry, man wno nao tnea many ways oi earning a living and had failed in all. A bankrupt at twenty-three, he lounged in idleness till he found he could live by his tongue. James Madisqn was a well meaning man, bu.t mprally weak. Henry Clay was a dasjmng, but, artim poimcian. John Randolph had natural ability; but lacked good sense ano naa no power of self-control. He would en ter the senate with his hunting whip in his hand and behave as if he we re in his dog kennel He gives faint praise to Washing ton, and much more to' Benedict Ar nold, who; he says, "was one of the best of American generals and the most daring of them all. He was slighted and wronged by politicians and .had . despaired of the cause Ben Franklin- and Samuel Adams were lacking in the ordinary traits of gentlemen, and as for Patrick Henry, nothing better was to be expected, for the character of an English gen tleman is not to be' formed in the backwoods." Concerning the civil war he says: 'The glayeholders escaped military aervico ana tnruat tne pqob peQpie under fire. Guards impressed men in thfi streets ana eonsermts were sent to Lee's army in chains. At the I taking of Fort Pillow the negroes were nailed to logs and burned alive. The Southern lady was bul the bead of a harem;- She was soft, elegant andi charming, but the civil war disclosed . an element in her character of a dif - ferent kind." This is enough of the scandalous and slanderous book and it is only popular at the north because of its villification of the south. He flatters t New. England and the Puritans and enves Braise to Benedict Arnold, who o . ' was born in Connecticut and more to old John Brown than to Gen. Lee. These are the kind of books that nor'hern children read and study and believe. How can that section ever be reconciled? And yet there are people at the south who condemn us for defending th honor of our ancea- j tors and the heroUm of our soldier and apeak of it a "ex-Confederate ! roC Lord Macauiey aaid: "A peo ple who take no pride in the achieve ments of their ancestors will achieve nothine for their own children to be pro'ud of." Some of oar mot gifted men are still toadying to please north ern appetites, "licking the hand that strikes the blow." Of all such a pa triotic northern writer aay beware of the "chronic reconciler," the man who improves every opportunity to haul his faded olive branch and wave it in the eye of the people. When any man, north or south, talks in a mellow way of his love for his old en emy, watch him. He ia getting ready to ask for something. Watch him. There is something pathetic in the picture of the north and south clasped in each other's arms and shedding torrent of hot tears down each other's backs, but the aged mothers on either side have not yet learned to love the foewith much violence. Nor doos the crippled veteran love the adver sary who robbed him' of his glorious youth and left him a feeble ruin, nor have the patriot soldiers on either side deserted the cause for which they fought. But think of lrginia the glorious Old Dominion the mother of states and Btatesmen. Her domain extend ed from Carolina to Canada and from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Bora upon her generous bosom was Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Lighthorse Harry, Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston and Stonewall Jackson. Who would not be proud to be a Virginian 1 vt no can wonder at the patriotic pride of those two venerab'e sisters, Miss Judith and Miss Anna Thomas, of Southampton county, now past then eightieth year, the only sjstersof Gen. George If: 1 nomas, and who. ever since 1861, when he accepted office under Lincoln, rfave uniformly de clared that they once had a brave and noble brother of that name and that he won renown in" ihe war with Mex ico when he was a maj r in Colonel Robert E. Lee's regiment but that he died in 1861 and now they have no brother. Ever since Virginia seceded they have pathetically declared their brother died in the spring of Isbl. Every' Virginia officer of the old army, save George Hx Thomas, promptly re signed and volunteered to defend their State. These lonely oldjnaid- ens seem really to believe that their bf other did cite- The county of South ampton had presented- o Major Thomas on his return from Mexico a beautiful sword and after our civil war he wrote 'to his sisters and re quested that the sword be sent to him. They replied that they could not part with it, for it was the only memento of a very dear brother who died in 1861. They still Hye alone and in poverty jn the same old man sion in which they were born, but neither friend nor neighbor ever pre sumes to mention General 1 nomas in their presence. These .venerable and venerated ladies are but a type of the old Virginia aristocracy. Well may they be proud of their State and their ancestry. Bill Arp; P. S. I do not know Col. Cussons nor the price of his little book, nor have I any interest in advertising it, but I do wish that every veteran and every veteran s son had it. His ad dress is Glen Allen, Va., arid he is the publisher. I suppose that $1 will buy it postpaid. - B. A. Or. Illllls'a Plan to Fill Churches. The Rev, Newell Dwight Hilha, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N. Y , spoke last week before the New Haven Congregational Club on "The New Problem of the . Church and the Ministry." He called attention to the fact that the church services are very sHmly. attended nowadays, but that the time is coming when there will be a revul sion of feeling and the churches wil1 be once more filled. ' He favored a nation al half holiday on Saturday as a means to bring back the people to the Cnurch. The people would have a chance to rest up on the half holiday. It is so in Eogland, where the church services are largely attended. Nowadays in this country the young man wakes op on Sunday morning after a hard week's work and wants a day of rest. In the morning he jumps on his wheel and spends the forenoon in the country. The afternoon he spends in reading. The old men who have been working hard all the week spend all Sunday reading and resting up tor the coming week. A Siturday half holiday, such as they have in Eng land, would give the young and, old chance to rest and then they would . go to church on Sunday. What Pat Did When the Well Fell in. An Irishman took a contract to dig a well. When he had dug about twenty five feet down he came one morning and found it had fallen in and that it was filled nearly to the top. . Pat looked cautiously around and saw that no person was near, then took off bis hat and coat and hung them on a wit-dlass, crawled into some bushes and awaited events. . In a short time the neighbors dis covered that the well had fallen in. and, seeiog Pat's hat and coat on the windlass, they supposed that he was at the bottom of the excavation. Only a few hours of brisk digging cleared the loose earth from the well. Just as the excavators had reached the bottom and were wondering where the body was, Pat came out cf the bushee and good-naturedly thanked the-diggere 1 relieving him of a sorry lob. Some of the tired diggers were disgusted, but the joke was too good to allow of any thing more than a laugh, which followed promptly. j Miss Florence Newman, -who has been a: Great sufferer from muscular rhenma- I tism, says Chamberlain's Jfain Balm is the only remedy that affords her relief, Miss Newman is a much respected resi- dent of the village of Gray, N. Y., and makes this statement for the benefit of others similarly afflicted. This liniment is for sale by M. L. Marsh. Ktxr.ftAM Jones vritci 0 rut- TtSKJtTToriC.

They are like the old negro in Arlana: lie and bis co-worker were plowing in their cotton field and a cyclone paaae i aloof in th adjoining corn field and dee troy ed tlie great field of corn, whipped the txirn into shred nd friehtened the uetcrut very much. After it wa over they came and loked over the' cor a field and aeiog the utur doltioo, both being scared, ne looked at the other and aaid: "Now, just 1 ok at that. This oil mn "we call (J id Almighty dues nea'ly as much barm as he dun good." Or like the big farmer in south Georgia who had St. Vitus dauca aud was vry nervoua. Oje moroiog after the rqiinoc(ial storm of the day and night bf fore he walked down into his cotton h Ids, where he had a hundred bales of cotton beaten out of the boils and into the dirt on the ground, lje came biuk to the boure rearing and charging. Hi's wife aaid to bimi ''Husband, don't talk that way, it was Ood that did it." He replied:";I don't care who done it, I don't like no sicb. To work hard all the vear and make a crop and see it beat out ou the ground. I don't care who did it, I d u'l like uo sich." We may coMrnrt with men, but when Ood cooks m Any wuh his judgments I ru i up tbw white fUg. I trust that the fruit and vegetables are not as badly hurt as we think they are. Georgia would sadly niU the million that come to her in thin way, but what ever comes, we are all d ring as well as we deoerve to do. Oar crops, in any event will be better than our polices and our business is better than (mr officials, aud we still have more money and more prosperity than we have religion." Really, if a man ha a good rase, of Bible religion, he don't need, much else. A man's wants theeu day's are measured more by his eyes than bis stomach. While about ooe-half of the human race are looking for something to tat the other half are looking for dytppjia cure, so they oau eat something, (n any event, I suppose the government and the billion-dollar trustB will take care of us poor fellows; They will soon have us so we cannot take care of tnem and then they will have to tke care of us I see Georgia is now in the midst of a peck of trouble about the payment Qt the teachers of the public schools The state has 1450,000 cash in her pocket and the treasurer snj s ' no fuuds." The governor has .one eye orit'ue Btatute that forbids him from lioijrwjng money and the "othr u' on a full treasury and he sees itu-.bijg in it. You know I am nt much in favor of public schools, anyway. A million or two for free schools and $700,000 for pensions and some other things has our state treasury depleted on one e4e and a howling populace about high taxes jumping up and down on the other. Whenever a state goes to giving away something it am't got aqd contracting bills for "free things it is giving out and they have not got the - money to foot the bills they are are going to get into trouble. I have been iu that sort of trouble. When a fellow's outgo is bigger than his income there is trouble ahead for that fellow, and it is going to get b hind him, and he will have a picnic all of his own making. But for this country's great natural re source we would get into a hole and be forced to pull the hole in after us. Sometimes I am amused, sometimes 1 am mad, sometimes it is a mixture and sometimes 1 fei like as the old negro said, just treating the whole business with 'Mmnunisv. ' V Alabama is going to have a constitu tional convention and -regulate the franchises of her people by relegating the brother in black to the rear. I would'eel much more hopeful about the gqod result of the disfranchisement of the negro, if it were not for what have seen of the white primaries atid their disgraceful work. Why, right here in this town they nominated some aa? loon keepers and some other things that might be worse and elected them to office. Now when white primaries sttr t running saloon-keepers and electing them to office I a jo in favor of keeping the negro in the ring and lay ing mat sort ot devilment on tne negro. I -have seen enough to' know that as long as court cliques and politi cal rings control our politics, the elimi nation of the negro's vote from the bal lot box will avail nothing. I'd rather see a sober negro in office than a dirty, drunktn saloon keeper. As the old wo man said when she kissed the cow, "Every'man to bis taste." Of course this talk is not democratic, but surely it is not demijohncratic. I read sister Felton s ' letter with in terest this week, and to save my soul she's got me bumfoozled. don't know whether she's agin Pr. Lewis or agin the temperance movement or just a shooting to hear the gun go off, but I don t want her to shoot at me. She a my neighbor and when we sit down and talk together we are both on the same plank and the same platform. I don't know whether she's agin Dr. Lswis or just agin the Democrats. I am for Luwis and agin the whiskey J soaked Democrats and if she's agin; rLewis and for the red-nosed Democrats , we cannot mix up in the forttcomir g campaign. Bat I love sister Felton. i She's a good shot and ain't afraid to ' shoot. But I sometimes think that when her dog is in ten feet of the rab bit she wants and is about to pick him up she'll ehoot end cripple her dog, just to show the crowd that she can" ehoot and what a magnificent shot she is, and "he'll go home without the rabbit, toe ing her crippled dog.
