Oar late friend Dr. Isaac I. Hayes, who was surgeon to Kane's Second , Grinnell Expedition in search of Sir j John Prauklin; 1853-'55, said his ob servations had load hitu to so far question the beneficial use of alcoholic liquors for ' the purpose of misting the severity of! ' the Artio cold that he should discourage the use of them, if, indeed, be should not absolutely deny the use of them for 1 that purpose to the crew of the expedi tion lie was then undertaking tq fit out for the Artie Regions through liatfiu's Bay, which sailed in 180 U. Gov. Scales has appointed Mr. Lewiu W. Barriuger, a member of the Phila delphia bar, to rcpreseut him at the meeting of Governors to be held in Philadelphia Doecmbor " w loth k»r the purpose of arranging a programme for oelebrating the one-hundredth anniver sary of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Barringer is a native of North Caiolica, and a son of the late D. M. Barringer, who was Minister to Spain during Presideut Pearee'f administration. Our acquain tance with bun warrants us in represen ting him tobc an accomplished gentleman and one who is well qualified to a3t well his p«rt on this occasioD. THE LAT K SNOW. "lhe head pieces to the month of December in the old fashioned almanacs represent a cheerful opeu wood (ire, with the governor seated on one side indul ging in a reflective smoke, and his old lad; at his side knitting, against whose chair stands a purring cat, while the fiithful dog sleeps at their feet. On this other side of the chimnoy our #al is occupied at the spinning-wheel, and bobby is seated near by apparently in terested in looking over the pictures in • primer. Itifia comfortable, conten ted, happy scene. The illustrator who desighed this head piece seems to have considered December as an off month of the year given up to fireside comfort, and homely enjoyment. Such a time we ire now experiencing during this >brumal month, though it is rarely that we find ourselves snjw-bound as early in the season as December. It is con soling, however, to know that the late ■ snow is quite favorable to the growth of small grain. THE CONGRESS. The soeond session of the forty-ninth Congress met last Monday. Wo often hear it remarked that tho Nation is wanting io statesmen of commanding genius like tho three men whose names are usually associated together—Web ster, Clay and Calhoun. JSut, if our Congress is wanting these days in ca pacity of the highest order of comman ding genius, or grand conception, it certainly possesses the capacity of adroit management, ot skilful fetch, of ready . resource, which however, when gathered into a focus, and set working, usu ally prove a very formidable pow r in dead. . The rfiCCH.i since the last session and the result of the late elections lionld hive schooled the members in a further knowledge of public sentiment than they had acquired when Congress ad journed. Should the teeming dcfeolion among the Democratic members manifest ,itself in a lack ef harmonious action the result may seriously afloat the futuro of 'sactiei,fdr the Democratic majority is so ■mall that the Demoeiatio members most agree to a man in order to accom plish any end, and of this there is little (reliable prospect. It is true that we may pretty safely oonnt on the eo-opera tion of some of the Republican members upon tbe vital question of Tariff Reform, if aot upon other questions that affect the future of the eonntry. But nous terrons. Considerable eonstornation was felt at Charleston on the '24 th of last month by .Another earth-shake. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS | ABOUT TOBACCO. A well known gentleman in this State who takes a deep interest in the culti vation of tobaeoo has recently sent out a circular to the largest tellers mil buyers from New York to St. Louis with reference to the depression in the leuf tobacco market. The circulars were sent to every market in Virginia and North Carolina, and the question* asked were us follows : 1. What, in your judgment, is the real cause of the present depression in the leaf tobacco market ? 2. Docs not really fine tobacco, whether bright or daik, bring paying prices to the farmer 1 3 What rccoiHiHendatians should, in your judgment, be made to the tobacco plauters; in connection with the crop to be planted next season '! The gist of the answers Was as fol lows : 1. The farmer must make his own food crops for man and beast, aud nut depend on las tobacco crop to pay for these necessaries. The one orep uian. uo matter what the crop is, is ajwrnwa/in peril. 2. He mjiU plant fewer acres of to bacco, feed the plant liberally, mi l give i*. tUe very best attcntuw possible oth erwise at every stage of it* prog ice* Irani I lie seedbed to tlie warehouse: and that oulj the land suitable to the type should be employed, and that no attempt should be u.ade to flue cure for "brigbts" uuless the tubacco is lilky and yellows well ou the hill. 3. Fine tobacco, uhethei bright or dark, has always brought payiug prices, and always will. • 4. It is impossible tor us to cou-.petc with other countries in tbc production of low grado stock. The world is over whelmed with it, and it can't be sold at any but ruinou3 prices to tbc grower. We possess an advantage not vouchsaf ed to other countries, ice c«* make fine tobacco: and to throw away this advan tage, and content ourselves with the pro duction of low-grade tobacco, is to com mit iu act of folly that must work dam age to the whole community. The farmer, like everybody else who has anything to sell, mini please his cmlomer else bis labor will bo in vaiu. We heartily eouiiuend this soisiblc advice to our friends in the country. Good tobacco has always brought good prices, it always will good prices and it is bringing good prices now. There is a healthy demand iu this mar ket for a good article and farmer" who have made it wtll realne baudsouie pro fits Again we would impress up 11 them the necessity of diversified crops. Far mers say a half acre in tobacco will briug enough to pa; for two acres plan ted in corn. Granting that this is true, suppose the half acre in tobacco fails— nay suppose the season is a bad one for tobacco and the entire crop fails, what can the farmer depend upon for the support of his faitUy ? The judicious farmer will not stake everything on one crop. Ho will be prepared for all sorts of seasons, but io order to do this lie will have to plant more than one crop. The one-crop farmer is tho one-idea farmer and the one-idea man oan't suc ceed.—Danville Weekly Register. OHR STATU CONTBMPORARIIi3. Tho Wilmington Star says : "Arch bishop Corrigun, of New York, has is sued a pastoral letter in which he warns his people against unsound ideas of the rights of property.'' "Unsound ideas" underlie all the crookedness which men manifest as to "l ights of property" aud rights of many other things. Right principles are in danger on every hand. It is almost usclvss, it would soeui to warn men against dangers which beset them. Theje is one great Strait Edge by which men and principles are to be tried: "The word of the Lord is right, and all Ilis works are done in truth " Society has drifted away trout the great Test, aud hencu "right ideas,*' are lost. —Greensboro Workman. The old-time article iu the Topic last week was of interest to several old citi zen?, some of whom point out mistakes in it. We bad gotten the notion some how that the ballot was an invention of the recou.'truction period, but we are informed that there never was a time in North Carolina when it was not in use at elections and when people voted vua vece. Dr. Newland informs us that Jamrx Urahnm beat his brother, Dayid Newhifid, in 4530 by a small majority anl t)iat Newland contested theeleotion alleging fraud. Tbe Hotiso voted that neither was entitled to the seat and or dered % new eleolion. Newland how ever, was allowed his per diem. In the next election Graham was successful.— Lenoir Topic.

Wilmington Slur: It is said thai tlic friendi of ilio New York, Philadel phia and Norfolk Railroad Company are arranging for the extensiou of tbcir system from Norfolk, Va., to Jackson ville, l'la.. and tbe great Pennsylvania Railroad corporation is backing thorn up. The new route, it is said, will be independent of all other lines, and tho most direct that can he chosen. In some i]uar!ers it is regarded as only a scheme ou the part ef the Pennsylvania Kailroad to bring the Atlantic Coast Line to terms. Otl cr persous, how ever think that the load will be built, running down the coast from Norfolk and following tho line on which it was intended that the Wilmington and Charleston Kailroad should be built. In this event Wilmington would have another great through line to the North, which could not fail to add to its com mercial importance.

THE PROPOSED LB ASK. I An outrage upoh the Stato of North Carolina is threatened, against the j.er pctratiou of which we hopo the united press of the State will urge its vigorous protest. We refer to the attempt or offer of the Kichuiond & Danville Rail road Company to renew its loaao of the! North 'Carolina railroad. A lease of this road was made when the Kojubli cans had control of our State govern ment and it was openly charged then, and has generally been bc!i*vod since, that tb« lease was obtained by bribery ; and. corruption. And now when the , term has only about half expired It is gravely proposed to extend the lease for another long term of years ! We havo much confidence io the good 1 judgment and sterliug patriotism of Gov. Seulcs, and we sincerely bopo he will not permit this outrage to be perpetrat ed. Tliero is plenty of time before the present lease expires, within which to consider this proposal to renew it. And before the year 1901 shall conic, there niayJ>e, aud doubtless will be, other favorablo proposals from companies o lease this i»ad. But there is no need, and i™ecd we do not think u ad visable, for the State to leaso the road to any company. This, however, ran be a matter for futuro discussion and consideration. At present we utterly and emphatically oppose and protest against the proposed extension ol the lease to the 11. & I). Co., and we hope the proJS of the State will unite in this opposition.
