Yes, be was m a bad tamper that morning, and his age bad not tended to improve it. lie oould not forget that remark ; people over (ho boundary line will take allusions to their years with u spasm. It's the rule without an excep tion. •'1 was asked this morning if this was my Wedding day," ho said later .on to his sister, when the guests were depar ting;' "so I could cot havo looked 60 deueed old, Sarah." '•Far too old to bo thinking of your own wedding day now, John, I should think," replied Mrs. Todd, who would have been extremely sorry for her brother's uisrriage, nnd all tho legacies floating away from her tad her chil dren. "Much you know about that." They were the major's last words that afternoon, and they oppressed and dis comfited Mrs. Todd vory seriously. She remembered them too; they rose vividly before her agni'i a few mouths aftoiward and she could only sigh and say, "I j thought as much," adding, iu moment; r 1 more hitler, that "there was no trusting any man.

What was the use ot it 1 What was he 1 thinking about ! TO Ba t'ONTIN I'ED. A reporter of the Raleigh A cws-Ob serve r has desciihcd the Governor's mansion which is in the way of being finished at Kalcigh. ! "The big building, of pressed brick, with liberal trimmings of rich red sand- I stone {from the lino quarries near : Wadesboro), is even larger than it ap pears to be. It has an ample basement the size of its floor, and has three sto ries, tho upper being the attic, but nev ertheless with spacious and well lighted rooms. The grounds cover a square, of course. The granite fouudalion upou which the iron fence will rest is partially couiplotod, and is, like all the oilier work, of the bes* character. The rooms and hallways are of great size, and a particularly imposing staircase sweeps up from tho ground floor, at the cast end of tho great entrance hall. The plastciing, in haul finish, is completed, practically. None of the wainscoting is done, mid the floors aro only partially laid. These floors arc laid in cement, being practically double, like those in lite postoffioo. A great deal ot fine 1 woodwork yet remains to be done Most of tho plumbing is completed, that is tho laying and setting of pipes ; and connections. The windows arc very large and the supply ol light is well arranged and very genotous. The por ticos and balconies are very light and graceful, and in the mod >rn style, (of t course a reproduction of something old). ! The plaster, all in dead white, is decid edly ornate, especially over tho door ways, giving quite a pleasing effect." The Hickory Press says ; 'lf tho Governor of the State must oooupy this palace and keep up a style correspond ing to his surroundings, nil men of moderato uicans will be excluded from the office of Governor. To be suro, the J Legislature might raise the Governor's j salary to five or ten thousand dollars a year And if the people aro uot careful to sci.d men to the General Assembly ! who understand and sympathize with i their poverty, there is danger that some such folly will bo accomplished. The I true remedy is not in raising Ibe Gov | ernor's salary. Neither is it necessary | to raise the building, whioh would be : the less of the two ovils. The appro priation, wo are :nfortucd is exhausted, and this notwithstanding the fact that tho pcuitcntiary convicts did a large proportion of the work, whilst the ap propriation in money was we think,more than twonly thousand dollars. Let the | building bn turned into a home for Confederate soldiers, or put to some charitable purpose. North Carolina otnnot afford to build palaces lor Gov ernors. The ouly palaces she oau afford' to build are those which charity to her unfortunates demands." The power lhat always can bo relied I upon U that furnished by stenm.

Whoever eng.iges iu growing tobacco I or any other product oil a farm ought [ to be us thoroughly educated and post |ed in the various ne'eassary educational branches as any person who makes a regular profession his special business. He who thinks an uneducated and in attentive farmer can grow crops as well as lie who is agriculturally and practi oally educated labors under a great mistake. It cannot be possible that an ignorant man, uneducated and unread, cau cultivate a piece of tobacco, raise it from the seed, and carry it through all the various stages required to tnako it merchantable foi the world as well as he possesses proper attainments wi'li i proper learning and intelligence, the two j individuals being equal in all other res-1 poets aside friui their education. All must admit lhat here is no place for ! slothful and slovenly people oil a farm. A skillful farmer should really have more knowledge than tho so-called pro- I fessional man in one seme of the word ; 1 for the trained agiicultnrist is presumed j to understand manual and uicutal labor, j and ought to havo menial culture fitting liiin properly for raising his crops iu an j intelligent manner. This mental cul- j lure, coupled with practice, is what makes him a professional agriculturist, j Why not a professional tobacco grower as well as a professional lawyer or arch itect ! Placing two men side by side—every- I thing equal, thconcan intelligent, read- j ing and educated man, ihc other au un educated and noureading man—which one, we ask, would be likely to get j along in the world, and which of these gentlcmeu would most probably succeed j in growing the best and most thorough ly cultivated crop of tobacco ? The reading man, of course —the one who reads tho agricultural papers and books on practical agriculture. There are I hundreds of tobaoco growers aud farm ers in the country who would make just as good lawyers and doctors, with good opportunities as many of those who are now practicing their profession. It is a mistaken idei lhat farmers do not re quire brains. The amount of brain work necessary to produce good crops and to make farming a paying busings is just as great-indeod, it would seem to be a greater—than that deemed neo essary to be expended in any ouc of tho professions nowadays. lutt lligcuce, skilled workmanship aud science are rapidly gr wing among the farmers of the period. The necessity for educating and largo degree of read ing of the right kind among tobacco growers and farmers is quito as appar ent aud needful as among college pro fessors. There is much to bo learned j by reading the well-conductod agricul tural papers and works published at this time ; but he who would learn must read and observe, study and experiment, ' introduce new and practical systems of I farming, try new varieties of seed, new aud considerate methods of curing the , leuf to advantage, and obseive what others aro doing and how they do it, who are successful growers t nited States ToAacco Journal. The iron market scents to be on a boom along with the other departments of business in the oountry. The Phila delphia bar iron association has advanc ed prices, it is reported, 1 mill per pound, making it 2 cents, which the American .Manufacturer says is the first real advance in eighteen months. The steel rail milla oontinues the .Manufac turer, havo orders lo keep them going two months in 18S7, and it will proba- ! bly be an active year. Large contracts j for steol rails are taken at $34, and a noteworthy item is tho fact that the Philadelphia machine shops aro crowd ed with oidcrs from tho southern states ! The Manufacturer notes further tho lar ger imports of iron ore in the past seven ! months aud says the ore comes from | near Santiago, Cuba, where tho l'cnn ; sylvania steel company owns the Irague ! initio, and from Cartagena, Spain, j The rich Spanish orcii have long been I supplied the industries of Great Britain i maintained in competition with those of j (he United Slates and the revenue re- I formers of this country Itavoalwuys urg | ed that tbey wore very muth needed by ' our manufacturers. They are from their situation mined very cheaply and ' can bo brought to this country, it is . said, almost as ballast and so laid down at vory low cost.

Even the manufacturers of ! the North will learn finally the desira bility of arc form of thu Republican tariff to the en 1 lhat a freer important of raw i materials among other things may be I ad.—Raleigh News Observer. LOOK OUT FOR SEED CORN NOW. It is no exaggeration to say that mil lions of dollars aro lost every year from planting seed corn that will not grow. We tested a uumber of samples last spring, of corn of our own growing and from some of '.he best farmers in the neighbor!) x)d, and di 1 not find one that was unifoiiuly good. otue of the cars from the outside of the crib would be go >d, but those from the inside would bo poor. Farmers would say, "I know good seed corn when I see it, and will warrant this to grow;" but on testing | it, more than half the kernels would uot ' germinate. Tho troublo is not due so much to immaturity, as to the careless method of gatteripg and keeping the corn. If (he corn is thorougly dry when put in j the crib, and afterwards kept dry, the I chances are that it wilt prove goad. The growers of seed swoet-eorn, the late varieties of which are exceedingly dif ficult to cure properly, build uarrow racks on which tlia cars arc spread out for several days or weeks. There is a general impression that corn fur seed | should be left growing till it is thor oughly matured. This is u mistake. Practically, it is far safer to cut coru for scud very early and lot it ripen in the sltovk, than to run the risk of hav ing it nipped by an early frost or of hav ing the curing delayed by the shorter days and damp weather of '.he late sua son. The Gist point is to get the corn thoroughly dry before putting in the crib. And then tho etib should be very narrow and with open slats at bottom and sides aud a good wide roof, lo keep off driving raius. If all theic coudi tions cannot be t-ccured, the only way wo can be sure of good seed corn is to select the best ears aud leavo the busks attached to the buts and tie them up in traeci and hang the trocs in an airy barn or room for tne winter. The few farmers who had Buch corn last spring, could get their own price for it.— American Agriculturist. MEAN N k SS *INCH ARLESTO N. In emergencies like the present one at Charleston the weak side of human nature is seen to come to the front. Tho instaoocs, however, are rare, but they are nevertheless glaring. One of the richest men iu the city, an alderman, who had nearly completed the erection of a new palatial residence at a cost of $15,000, and whose residence was vory little damaged, has his horses stublcd in a tent, while thousands of people arc absolutely without shelter. A promi nent millionaire, the damages to whose extensive real estate possessions will not exceed 850,000, has, it is said giv en orders to agents to raise tho rents '2;"> per cent. A prominent and wealthy King street merchant obtained a dead railroad pass for himself, his mother, wife and four children aud sent them to Charlotte, N. C. His partner tried to do the same thing, but was detected and the pass refused. This same firm is said to have reduced the wages of their clerks 50 per cent. Both the parthcrs aro wealthy men and both well I known in the city. Another wholesale j merchant is said to have docked his clerks one dollar each for coming late on tho morning succeeding the carth quako.
