, CUIMK IN TIIK STATE.
Be«d our State news daily If you
would gather data as to whether crime
is increasing or diminishing. Tako in
that printed this uiorniug as a sample.—
Wilmington Star.
The Stato News department of our
Sta'.s Dailies disoloscs in every issue a
deplorable amount of crime of every de
gree. Judge Connor souio months ago
expressed the opinion that the number
of smaller crimes is diminishing in tnc
State, lie this as it may, higher crime
teems to be increasing as may be ob
served trom an inspection of the dock
ets of our criminal courts throughout
the Stato. If the number of smaller
erimes is diminishing wo can only ac
count for it from tnc fact that it is easi
er* to couvict parlies accused of smaller
erimes like petty larceny "and affray,
than it is to meet the demands of jus
tice agaiost thoso accused of higher of
fauces, and this fear of cou\ iction may
be acting aa a warning lesson against
the commission of smaller crimes.
A STATELY OAK IN GUILFOKD.
As you ride along the Cape Fear it
Yadkin Valley Railway aod coino in
sight of the memorable Guilford battle
ground and eagerly watcn toward the
east all at onoe yon will see a great,
green, whito oak, like uoto a cloud,
swelling in the lior ■/. m on a little knoll,
a mile off, so vast, so symmetrical, of
snob majesty and imperial suprenacy
among tbc lesser growths which cover
the surrounding ground as render it
easily rocoguized' This tree, remarka
ble for size and perfection of form,
is grand both for size of tiunk, and
spread of limbs which begiu about ten
feet from the grounl, and muscular de.
vtlopmout.
r Something about oaks that Dr. Oliver
Wendell Holmes has said in his pecu
liarly happy way crowds itself upon our
mind just hore, which wo think may be
appropriately copied in this connection
"Therejs a mother idea in each | ; r
•iculor kind of tree, which, if well mark
ed, is probably embodied in tho poetry
of every language. Tako the oak, for
instaoee, »nd we find it always standing
as a typo of strength and endurance.
Ijwonder if you ever thought of tho sin
gle mark of supremacy which distingu
ishes this irec from all other forest-trees 1
All tho rest of them shirk tho work f
resisting gravity; tlic oak alone acfiesjit.
Ik chooses tbo horizontal dijectioii for
its limbs, so that their whole weight
may tell-and then .stretches them out
fifty or sixty feet, so that the strain may
be mighty enough to be worth # rosisting.
You will flud that in passing frniu the
extreme downward droop ot ths branches
ef the woeping willow to the extreme
upward iucliuution of tliose o' th-.i pnp-
I«r, they swc»p nearly half a circle. At
90 degrees the oak slops hliort; to stand
upward another dcgr.c would mark in
firmity of purpose; to bend downwards
weakness of organisation. The Ameri
can olui betrays something of both; yet
sometimes as we shall sec, puts on a c r- ■
tain resemblance to its sturdier neigh
bor."

I live in the midst of the malarixl dis
tricts of Mai viand, near the lity of
Washington, ar.d am exposed to all the
datigerou; iiriioeni ca ot the impure ait
and water of t'uit regian.
Being naturilly of a strong consti
tution, 1 hml frc>iuently boasted that
j no chills and fever or other malarious
' complaint would c\'er trouble me.
! Tllu was my experience and the con
i dition in which I found myself six
, months ago. 1 first noticed Unit I did
! not feel so sprightly anil vigorous as
j was my wont to do. I felt tired and
! enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
! its appearance in the afternoon, in-
I creasing iu severity if the exercise was
: more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
! made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would ieel heavy
| and 1 began to have headache*.
The cold i.ige was marked with clut
tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed
j over uie, and no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. The rhill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
I seemed to I>9#lmining up. the con
| gestt'on in iny head produced a violent
pain in the frouVd portion and a heat
| ed sensation of the eyelids, with an in
j describ.ible aching of the lowei limbs,
j Nausea and vomiting occurred with
j severe retchings, and when the parox
; vsms passed otff was thortm .'.lj pios-
I 'rated by a weakness that was felt iu
; every part of me.
I drugged myself with quinine, and
obtained sotii; - relief. But my res|>ite
was of brief duration. I was now so
uucH redi. .'l that I could hardly walk
or stand upright. M) i.isease soon
culinijiated iu a continued mai.vtal fe
ver which kept itie clo:«ly ctmfi.ied for
iljout a week. I become exceedingly
j lepressed and m.-lam tiolv, somiuh so
i hat I lost interest in mv woik. and,
ndeed, scarcely what hm>pened
1 to me.
During all this tiijie, it must be tut
: dcrstood tost 1 did not utglect meiical
j treatment. All the most poiverful
emcalies were tried, such a • .«,piid ar
; seuute of potash, valeri(ij--te ot" iron,
mercury, bromide of po, , nni, chlo
| rideof bu nnth, riiiricboni
lia, quiuino and several All
this I did under liij advice ol cuuuonr

It was while I was in t!os di-pV>ral>le
! condifion t.H.;t the c.aiios made tor
K ask tne, tho new ipiinine,'*s as(>ecifk
! For malaria, were first brought to mv
! attention. I knew nothing of hs valoe
to justify my Imvioj any coalidence in
; it, but as everything cl.-c had failed I
deemed it my dury n try it, so i began
! its use, ami its pKjinpt and radical ef
fects were of the nature of a revelation
to me. Many people mxy think the
! statement si arrciy credible, tmt it is a
fact that after only a few days' use of
Kaskine all the leading syroj toms in
my case were decidedly abated or
ceased altogether; and in a few weeks
j from the time I took the first dose I
j was cured.
"1 his wss about the first of Tanuary,
| and since then I have experienced no
recurrence of the ma'.uial symptoms
in any fo;m. A remedj of snch ex
ceptional virtue for the cure of malaria
j ought to be commended and univer
sally made known. I have therefore
urged it uj>on the attention of my
frier.dr, several of whom have used it
with like good results in every case,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that 1 cnimend Kaskine j
