A MISL'NOEBSTANDINd. —"I thought I would take a run up and see if you didn't want to buy; a sawing machine, 1 ' said the agent to farmer Grimes. "I don't know as 1 do," replied the ! farmer ; "I've got most of my spring sowing done." "Hut won't you need it for sewing in ! the auaimci •Look hero, young feller, we don't sow in the summer. We cuts, an' \ gethors, an' binds." "Ob, well, this machine gathers and binds.'* "Mcbbe you'll bo telling me next that your machine will haul in the crap an' put it in tho barn. Don't come around bete with any of your big sto. | ries." "Don't be ruffled, my dear sir, I think you do not understand .lie. 1 mean a machine to sew cloth, not grain. "Ahe in ! you do. do you. Then you'd better go talk to them wiuioiin. It's a good thing you didn't mean tho other j kind, for if you'd kept on telling me about your wonderful machine for plan tin' an' reapin' you'd got me a rippin' , aud tarin' till I'd basted you." A Fine* View. Two Boston gentlemen, whilo tramp mg through the White Mountains tho past summer oaiue across a lonely hut among the hills from which the prospect was particularly line and exteuded. The proprietor of the establishment was hoe ing in a small garden, and the travelers began to quit bim. Said one : "You have an excellent view from your house !" "Purty fair," replied the farmer. "I suppose," continued the first speak er, winking at bis companion, "on a fair day you can see almost to Europe !" "Kin see further than that," returned the tnsn. "How so was asked in surprise. "We don't 'iiink no thin' of seein' as fur as tho mane!" Tho Bostouians had found their match. Nomellilnt About Mr Ttldeu Hon. Wm. L. Soott, of Pennsylvania, ia quoted by a New York Tribune ro j porter as sayiug : "I have not seen Mr. ( Tilden in some time. I do dot think j anybody can say with poaitivencsa that I he would or would not aocept tho pr :si dcntial nomination. Bat there sre cer tain things In the past from which we may judgo. He never wanted the pres | idency as a personal lustier. Because he thought he oould aerve his party and and his couutry he waa willing to ac ; cept it. In 1880 he was very glod to be relieved ot the haraaeing oarcv incum bent upon the nominee. Hedges not desire or wish tho nomination now. 1 am certain of that. Hut lie have I accepted in IBBtl, even th>ugb iifooked ; like a sacrifice of his life. And 1 be i lieve he would accept now if tbe nomi nation should be teudeied him unani -1 unusly at Chicago, as it may be. If 1 Thurtuun and liavard and Hendricks hud sunk personal feeling in 1880, and acted purely from patriotism as Mr. | Tilden did, he would now be l'rcsidont. : Tney say he hasn't the pluck nnd that ho let the electoral bill become .i law because he wa« afraid of a light. I r«- mciubcr well during that period when he took mo into an inuer ruoin at his house for a consultation over iuiporlant matter*. 110 was walking up and do«n the ro.uu. I asked hiui : 'Mr. Ti'dcu if you are called on to go to Washington and be inaugurated will you go !' He raised his arm aleft and as lie stop ped for a moment said . Will I go t Yes, though I am killed on the steps of llie capitol, I will go.' 1 hope lie won't be nominated because I aiu out of pol itics and don't waut to be drawn iu again." Trululug ol' Fa l itter's Sons. The grandest product of the farm, nccording to Stingers Journal , is the boys and gills. In every avenue of life where thrift, and capacity and energy arc required, the man who pushes to the front is the son of a firmer, lis has the intelligence. There is a sort of broad, common sense running through his acts. He has a constitution that can endure labors. It is a notable fact that iu tho colleges of our country the best studeutsare the boys from the farm. Iu tho workshops, in tho balls of legis lation, ut the bar, in the forum, in the pulpit, uincty-niuc-hundrcdths of the men who stand upon the summit were once boys on the farm. They were bare footed, wore patched clothes, and wor ked for their braid. Almost one.half of the people iu this oountry reside in towns. Whcie aro the town boys in the race of life ' Fooling, curling their hair, polishing tboir boots, while the rough country boy is plunging barefoot ed along the road to fame. With a book under one arm, and a few extra clothes in his hand, he passes the elegant home of the towu boy, and he looks in on case and luxury almost for the first time. He may be called a tramp, and be re fused a crust of bread ; one day lie will return and buy that mortgage-covered house. Where did that boy get his no ble purpose and his unfaltering courage I They wore born to bim on the farm ; 'hey were woven into bis fibre by early years of toil , the wrap aud woof of his life were threads of gold. Judge Fowle is unquestionably a man of fine abilitios and of remarkably elo quence. For some mouth some of the papers appeared to regard his imleutifi cation with the Libeial office-seeking movomont as certain. Nothing moved him to reply, but at the time that seem ed rigli* to him be showed his colors and they were the old oucs under which he bad canvassed North Carolina with such potcut and impassioned eloquence. He went into a Democratic convention and took a leading part. Rut there is a story out that is worth repeating. The Liberals wanted him. His nsuie would be useful and strengthening and they wooed but did not wiu. Tbe Raleigh Register tells the story thus : "A message—so the story goes—was sent to Judge Fowlo that they desired to see him, and asking liirn to naiue a convenient time and place. Tbe answer went back front Judge Fowle, that. 1. If they desired to see him profes sionally, be could be found at his law of fice on Martin street. 2. If personally, be would meet them at bi» residence on Fsyetteville street. 8. If politically, he bid not wish to seo them at his office, or at bis bouse, or at any ether place." Our Mother*. j The formation of our characters we j owo to our mothers more than any otli |or human sgeucy, for it is their liatid* that first twine tho tendrils of our heart, ! guiilo our footsteps aright, lend us in I the path of virtue ; in the dark dreary niifht of pain, their watchful vigils keep j beside the touch of their dear ones. Whose but the e ye of Jehovah oan fathom the depths of auxiety thty feel, and who can tell of the ceaseless prayers which they offer for their sin stricken children t Their infiueuce ever shines with an unsullied light which aoftens and puri fleii the way ward influences of the youth- mind, and guides it onward in its course toward lleaven. How then can we pay just tribute to our mothers with what measure of gratitude and af fection shall we requite them for their maternal care. To those who have lost their mothers in early life, thore is the hallowed spot sacred to memory, where they retros pect the past, recall days aud nights wheu their mothers kept watch over | their sinless years, and where th?y may j look forward with faith aud hope to tho j blessed icunion of the cvcrlastiug fu i ture. ! | Friends uiay be torn from our hearts, hopes may be blasted, and our love for j others ma? grow cold, yet every priuci ' pie ot gratitude and every feeling of vir. tuous sensibility requires that we shoul i : cling to our mothers and love them I still. Free tyhlihy A friend writes that he is as annous as the Register is to get rid of the In j ternal Reveuuo iniquity, but he does ; wish to sco whisky taxed like other com | modities ; aud, being wluil is callod a • luxury, taxed higher than other articks j that are necessary, or thought ta be necessary. He is opposed, he writes, to "free whisky" and taxed articles of necessity. The Register knows uf no ! one who differs with its correspondent. ( Tho tax law in this couutry is the tariff i law . there is no other Uiii'ed Staves tax law on any article of necessity. In it ; the tax oil whisky is 310 per cent; just I 190 per cent, higher than the highest j tax levied on any other article whether I of "necessity" or of "luxury". Tho Whisky King is smart enough, and has had money enough, to get itself ! very thoroughly "protoctcd" against all sorts of competition. It has been a I powerful agency for the corruption of American politics, aud it is now smart I enough to fool some good temperance , folks into the belief that the temperance cause can be promoted by continuing a monopoly lor she manufacture of poison ous drink. Doorfllckers Hide. "Yea," said Mr. Doorflicker, as he i drew his chair out on the porch to the ' family circle, "1 had some wild exper l ience when 1 was a locomotive engineer. ' 1 remember one night I was ordered to take a doctor from Chicago to Mendota : in the quickest possible time. To make my engine lighter I uncoupled tho ten i der aud left it on a side track. When the doctor took a seat on the fireman's box I threw tbe lever down in the cor ner aud gave her steam. Away wo jumped like a scared kangaroo. The ' doctor's eyes bulged eut like a pair of porcelain door knobs an we hustled over the prairie toward Riversdale. i "What's that—a post?" asked the I dootor as we passed souiothing in a jiffy. i "It was a coal shed liiO feet .long.

" I hem's the telegraph poles," an swered the fireman, is he stopped half a minute from shoveling coal, just as we tipped through tho shop yatds at Aurora. "Well, we made Mendota without a stop, in forty-one minutes and a half, 1 1 just two miles to the minute, and 1 boil : ed the coffee iu my dinner pail on the driving boxes." "What a long-armed fireman you i must have had, pa," put in young The ophilus Doorflicker, as he looked up 1 from the oopy of .Ksop's Fables that lay on his lap. ; •'How's thatasked Doorflicker. "Why, to shovel coal in Aurora from a tender that stood on a side track in Chicago." ! Doorflicker went into the house.— I Chicago Herald. Tbe l.yiictifu;? In Forsyth. Thursday morning about 2 o'clock a j crowd of men, most of them disguised, ; appeared at tho jail and demanded en | trance. Sheriff Fogle was in charge, Deputy sheriff Masteu hvying turned the keys over to lim at night. They de manded the keys. The sheriff attompr ted to dissuade them, and while they were persistent, they were at the same time orderly, and in the unin respocful Mayor Duxton was summoned and soon appeared on the grMnd. He asked the mob to hear him. This they did a few minutes, but iu attempting an appeal in behalf of lan and order he was hooted down. Fart of the mob had guns, while all of them were armed witlt pistols. They said they wanted Henry Swsin and intended to have him. Chief of l'olice Dahnson proceeded the mob to the jail and attempted to disperse tho in. On the Sheriff opening the front door of the jail buildiug, a common paunel shutter, which he did for the purpose of talking to the mob, they at once attacked the largo iron door j closing the stairway to the cells. They j came prepared with crowbars to break down the iron doors* They entered them, however, by beating off the locks. \\ hen they opeued the cell in which llenry Swaiui was confined they com manded hiui to stop out, which he did. I'liey pinioned his arms and at once inarched him away, l'hoy carried him through Salem aud to tho top of the hill on the Wsuglitown road. When they hud reached the fatal tree, an eye wit ness tells us that Swaiui was permitted to talk, and several questions wure pro pounded him, as follows . Did you kill Mrs. Rued > He answered yes. Why did you do it ? I don't know; 1 wanted money. Had you any help ! No. Whera was you from 5 o'clock that morning until yon committed the mur der ? liehind Mr. Heed's barn. What was you thore for ! 1 wanted to sec when they nil left the house. Where id you first strike Mrs. Reed' 111 the bouse with the stone-hammer. How mauy times did you strike her! 1 don't know. Did you hit her wi'li the axe ' No, the axe flew off and 1 struck with the handle. I cut her after she fell aud ran down in the direction of the branch where I washed my hands. At the conclusion of the examination he asked that some one pray for him, when a man lit the crowd stepped for ward and offered up a short prayer and he was at once hoisted and swung. The details are horrible throughout— the murder and the lynching. Roth are afflictions this community has never been called upon to sndurc before. While all men depricate the hanging, yet there is a sense of relief that the horrible affair throughout is at an end. No one can attach blame to tho officials, city or county. Dis one of those in fractions of law which all good men de pricate, yet are unable to prevent. The mob uumbcrcd about To or 100 men. The ('oime|uence ol' n Klns Much trouble has como from a kiss at Kvausville, Indiana. It is not by any means the first disaster arising from that source, but this affair is rather a . notable one. The man in the case was 1 the postmaster, the owner of a prosper- I ous daily newspaper, a church member and a grandfather. Tho woman iu tho cuse is a widow. There was but ono kiss. It is not understood that the lady inailu any complaint about it, but some of those who didn't get any kisg eitcu latod the story through the town. It drovo the unfortunate man from the church and he v.a* compelled to resign his post mastership and soil bis tiewspa per.

"Cer tainly," said the doctor. "What is it | for !' "It is fjr a horse-," said the la ] dy. The prescription called far nitric | acid, mercury and turpentine. Dr. j Caldwell looked at it a moment and, | without recalling the circumstauce that the ingrodieuts formed an explosive mixture, proceeded to fill the prescrip tion. lie put the mercury into a bot tle and then poured in the turpentine. Then he poured in the nitric acid from a jar. A tremendous explosion took place, shattering the bottle to atoms and throwing the pieces of glass and burning acid intc the doctor's laea. The doctor was knocked down by the shock. His face was badly burned by the acid and it is a serious question whether he does not lose the sight of ouc if not both of I his eyes. Tho strange part of the occur -1 rcncc is that neither the woman nor the prescription could be found after tho 1 explosion.
