Some men are known as hot-tem pered, others as malicious. There is a vast difference between them. The hot-tempered man may be trou blesome ami quarrelsome, but he gets over his fits of temper and bears no malice. He is, in general, good 11 at u red, but impulsive. The malicious man, on the contrary, sel dom engages in an open quarrel. He is uot frank enough to fight in the open, but nurses his animosities and works out his revenge in secret. His methods are those of the assassin who stabs in the back. But his worst characteristic is that he bears malice. For weeks or months, or even years, he treasures un the wrongs, real or fancied, that he may have suffered, and seeks to revenge himself. He is by nature cowardly, shrinking from a contest at the time it arises, and thus preventing an explanation of what is possibly an innocent misunderstanding. But he does not forget it as a generous-minded man should; he broods over it until his wrongs become mag nified in his imagination, and he cherishes at all times a desire for revenge. He is by nature cool, cal culating and hypocritical, giving no indication of his evil feelings until the time comes for him to strike. He is essentially different from the gen erous-minded man, who is governed by his emotions and who, though hot-tempered and belligerent, may also be warmly affectionate. The generous-minded man cannot bear malice. His temper acts as a safety valve. When he considers that he has been wronged he seeks redress in manly fashion at once and brings the episode to an end. If his oppo nent has borne himself manfully, the end of the battle may find them warm friends. They arrive at a good understandingK and the past is dismissed from their memory. The two dispositions are finely sketched in ' Othello," and Shake speare has rightly taught us to pity the Moor and loath Iago. The trage dy carries the expression of the dif ferent dispositions far beyond our ordinary experiences, but, neverthe less, remains instructive. The man of generous disposition, even though possessed of infirmities of temper, is immeasurably superior to the thin blooded, calculating, suave and ap parently inoffensive man who avoids an open conflict, cringes humbly be fore an open adversary, and .yet bears malice, seeking his revenges after the manner of an assassin in the dark. Nor should we neglect to apply abstract ideas upon this sub ject to our own conduct for the sake of reflex influence that conduct has upon character. We should try to keep our tempers under good con trol, but not to suppress just indig nation. If wronged, we should resent it, but openly, in manly fashion and have done with the grievance and its resulting animosities. We should be especially cautious against harboring malice, banishing it from our minds as an unworthy thing. It is better even to sutler wrong than to seek revenge, espe cially in remote ways. If we must fight, it is better to do so openly than by underhand means. The bear ing of malice is a sign of cowardice; it begets hypocrisj'. Whatever else we may do, we should overcome any disposition to malice, preferring to be quarrelsome and ill-tempered on occasion rather than to maintain a rancorous disposition under a smiling exterior.

ARP SAYS IT'S SAD. That Picture Painted of Hie Sew Eng land People. "Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, H here wealth accumulates ami men de cay." How doth history repeat itself. If Goldsmith had have lived to our day he might have written those lines about rsew England. Was there ever such a sad and pitiful picture drawn of any people as that New England preacher has drawn of the country people of Massachusetts and has published in The Arena. We wonder that the editor of that high toned magazine would dare to expose the descendants of the Puritans in all their hideous deformity and to broadcast it among the citizens of cultured Boston. The story of their degredation physically is worse than what we read about of the goitre districts of Switzerland. Six fingers on each hand, six toes on each foot, cross-eyes, hair-lips, club-feet, muffle chops, mutes, dwarfs and idiots seem to be common in every rural commu nity. But the degeneracy morally is still worse for this preacher says when there is a gathering from neighbor ing towns at a cattle show or other attraction you will see as wicked a throng of human creatures as ever gathered at White Chapel or the Five Points, and that the pens or prisons built for drunken rowdies are filled before 9 o'clock in the morning and these hoodlums insult every woman they meet, and when night comes both men and women revel in the wild orgies of a promis cuous dance. And vet some of those Boston editors are still crying "stop thief!" to distract public attention from their own shame. Once before have alluded to Mr. Stetson's statement that the marriage relation in Massachusetts is almost a nullity, and that separations are more com mon than legal divorces. Not long since another New England writer astounded the public by declaring that in many towns and villages the sound of the Sabbath bell was never '.heard, nor the church door ever opened and religion was going rapid ly into disuse and innocuous desue tude. What does all this mean ? Has the Almighty God turned His back upon that historic ground and given the devil free reign over its people ? Has it come to this that a man who preaches holiness or sanctification is lynched with tar and feathers and made to leave the country, it a negro commits an outrage in that once holy land does it take guards and police and the militia to keep the mob off of him ? Aud yet the Boston Transcript says that Georgia is several generations behind New England in refinement and morals. "How are the mighty fallen !" When we find that in The Arena a preacher is allowed to take for his text, 'The Degeneracy aud Decay of Rural New England." Their condition is amaz ing, pathetic, helpless. The land of Webster, Choate, Pierce, Hawthorne is now "to hastening ills a prey," for as wealth accumulates iu Boston men decay around it. This preacher says "the mills are built, but the farms are all mortgaged." Then, what will become of the factory girls when the mills are all moved south to the cot ton, where they are obliged to come or lose ? Not long ago I traveled with my good friend, Calloway, of The Macon Telegraph, and he talked in raptures about a new book an Englishman's history of the United States. Percy Gregg has written two volumes about us, and it is a masterly pro ductionnothing so thorough, so philosophic, so just to all the factors, old England, New England and the south, has ever been written. The author is an Englishman, a noted traveler, a scholar, hightoned, un prejudiced and as entertaining as Macauley. I sent to Richmond for it to the Everett Waddey Company, who published the American edition, aud eagerly have I perused and en joj'ed it. This edition has an admi rable preface by General Wade Hampton. This book is too compre hensive for the schools, but every man of leisure should have a copy in his house to feed upon to feed mind and memory and be established in the faith of our fathers. From my inmost heart, I thank Mr. Gregg for writing this history while I still live, for I feel that at last the south has been vindicated by a master mind. Every page gives comfort, and that portion about our civil war and its causes and consequences makes the southern spirit burn within you and a feeling of thankful pride is revived in the southern breast. Yes, it makes me feel calm and serene. Here is another book that the author has just sent me through the mail. Its title is "The Case of the South Against the North," by Hon. B. F. Grady, a cultured son of North Carolina and late a member of Con gress from that State, and a confed erate veteran of four years' sdldier service. I have only had time to glace over its contents, but have read enough to know that it will be another valuable educator in our schools, and will establish the truth GOLDSBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, JUNE in the minds of our young people The long belated south is making her own literature now, thank the Lord for His Mercies. Here is a beautiful little book of poems by Rev. E. A. Wingard, of Columbia, S. C. My friend E. A. Hull, of The Newberry News, published it and sent a copy to me. These poets seem to come up in a night. This Lutheran preacher is no mere rhymer; he is a true poet, and many of his poems are as perfect gems as ever Hayne or Timrod ever wrote; some of them remind one of Cowper and Goldsmith. They are as tender aud true as classic. The verses "No cross, no crown," are exquisite, and so are the lines in memoriam of Win nie Davis. Aud here I have some numbers of The Midland Monthly, of St. Louis, that is an admirable magazine, and one entirely fair and just to the south. My friend, Benjamin E. Green, of Dalton, was sent on a secret mission to Cuba and St. Do mingo, in 1S48, by President Taylor, and recently he wrote a truthful and very instructive article containing his observations of the people espe cially the conflict between the white and negro races in those islands. This sketch was declined by every northern magazine of republican in stincts declined because its conclu sions did not tally with republican policy; but it was promptly accept ed by The Midland Monthly, and Mr. Green advises our people to con tribute to it and patronize it. Mr. Green, a well known scion of that very notable and able gentleman Duff Green, is himself one of the most learned and reliable writers of the south. Then there is our own Thomas Nelson Page, whose "Red Rock" has awakened the conserva tive people of the north, and they declare with some signs of repent ance that they did not know, they did not dream that the south was so cruelly harrassed in reconstruction davs. Yes, we are rising up again to the front, and will yet fulfill Albion Tourgee's prediction, for he sa's in his "Fool's Errand," "the south con trolled and dominated the national government for fifty years, and if our people continue to worship money as their God, the south will before another half century control and dominate it again." The north, like Haman, sees Mordecai sitting at the gate, and is unhappy, and now her only hope is that there is a nig ger in the woodpile who will some day break out and drench the land with blood. We do not fear the nigger, for though he is a political fool, he is yet our friend. But I must be amicable to-day, for it is the seventy-third anniversary of my birthday. I have already had forty kisses and a hundred good wishes, and there are more to come. My wife kissed me early kissed me first and said with a conjugal smile : "You must live on and on as long as you can, for I don't know how we would get along without you." I don't either, and so, like a pensioned soldier, I keep living on. Time cuts down all, Uoth great and small. Except a pensioned soldier. We had a big dining to-day with eighteen of the family at the feast and the menu was an old fashioned dinner, with ice cream and talk and hilarity for dessert. They drank a cold water toast to my longevity. Bill A hi1. Strange Things Happen. Wilmington MesseiigiT. During the confederate reunion at Charleston Miss Jane Meares, daugh ter of Captain Thomas D. Meares, of our city, visited the South Carolina city and while there lost a handsome and valuable pearl brooch with a diamond setting. There'were from 30,000 to 40,000 visitors in Charleston at that time and as a matter of course Miss Meares never expected to hear of her brooch again. The old adage of "The unexpected always happens," comes up here, however, for strange to relate, the young lady on yesterday recovered her tost jewel. Its recovery was brought about in a most singular manner. A young lady of Charleston is now visiting Wilmington, and Miss Meares men tioned to her that she had lost her brooch when she visited Charleston. The Charleston young lady said a friend of hers picked up a jewel of the description, and it thuned out that it was the one lost' by Miss Meares. The jewel was returned to her, and she is happy over its re covery. It was picked up in the streets and was lost while Miss Meares was getting on or off a street car. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at lirst it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Cham berlain s Pain Halm. 1 tried it and one half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entire ly. I now recommend it to all my friends. i. A.

Special Correspondence. New York, June 2G, 1890 The advance of the season has had much less than its usual effect in re striction of business. The industries and notably that of iron and steel, show unexampled activity, and the distributing trades are exceptional ly active for the time of year. Re ports from most sections indicate a large business at retail; and in many branches of trade buying for fall wants has started in ahead of the usual time. Railroad earnings con tinue to compare favorably with the best previous reports at the corres ponding period; and, while payments through banks are several hundred millions of dollars per week below the maximum weekly totals of the pres entyear, the' are vastly in excess of those of any previous June. Foreign trade returns continue to show re latively large imports and smaller exports; but while the latter com pare unfavorably with those of June last year, they have been at New York alone, in three weeks, nearly $2,000,000 larger than the imports, notwithstanding the fact that the imports in the same three weeks have been over $5,000,000 larger than those for the corresponding weeks last year. The fall in cotton and grain prices during the week is sig nificant of better agricultural pros pects, which augur more favorably for the future of general business. Price of manufactured goods are gen erally strong, and in many lines con tinue to show an upward tendency. Business failures during the the past week, according to R. G. Dun &Co., numbered 178 in the United States and IS in Canada, against 285 in this country and 11 in Canada during the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices have declined three- sixteenths of a cent per pound owing to liquidation by speculative holders, whose hopes of a rising market have been disappointed by the steadily improving crop outlook and by the absence of any urgent demand. Ex porters and Northern spinners have continued to buy moderately, but there has been no activity in the trade. The cotton goods market has not been unfavorably affected by the weakness in prices of the raw material. Demand for staple goods has been moderate, but supplies in first hands are much smaller than usual at this time of 3-ear, and the production of many mills is largely sold ahead. A good trade has been done in prints and othercotton dress fabrics for the fall season. The wool trade has been more active, and prices have continued to tend up ward in response to the rising cost of the new clips in primary markets. There is continued activity in the iron and steel trades, and unabated strength in prices. No reaction from the recent rise in values has been noted in any line, but many products have scored additional advances, and materials of all kinds continue scarce or prompt delivery.The boot and shoe trade is active, and recently advanc ed prices are more readily obtained. The factories are well supplied with orders, and most of them have enough business under contract to keep their capacity employed for three months to come. Wheat prices have declined li to 2 cents per bushel, owing to specula tive liquidation and bearish pressure which have been due to improved crop advices and heavy receipts of old wheat. The movement of both spring and winter wheat has been more than four times as large as that of the corresponding period last year, the interior receipts of spring wheat having been especially large. This continued free marketing of wheat on the eve of the harvest is not sug gestive of apprehension by farmers and other holders of serious crop shortage and higher prices. Re ports from Russia have been more hopeful, owing to rains in sections which have suffered seriously from draught; but it is questionable if the needed moisture have not come too late to be of much benefit to a crop now nearing the harvest period. Whatever of bearish influence has been derived from rains in Russia has been offset by advices of excess ive moisture in France, where the yield is expected to fall considerably short of that of last year. Export ers have been more active. The chief element of weakness in the price situation appears to be the large receipts at "Western and North western centres. Corn price have declined to 1 cent per bushel, partly from sympathy with the break in the wheat market and partly on account of good crop prospects and liberal receipts. There has been, however, a continued good demand for export, and the big re ceipts have been fully absorbed by the combined takings of dotnestic consumers and exporters. Shipments of hogs to Western packing oentres have continued large; but there has been little net change in Chicago prices of products except bams which have been strengthened 'by a more active consumptive demand Exports of provisions compare fav jiorably with those of last year, and jitibe domestic distribution is steadily iRmproving. !
