They were hav- ing such a good time, and so ear ly in the season, too. bay to ' them, . oh ! Star, Nel desperan- dem. We copy the following from the Wilmington Star : The Boston Post calls atten- . tion to the abuse of the word ; claim." The verb claim means to ask' for, to demand. It is used v in a dozen ways. As for instance John Smith claims to have been stoned ; Tom Jones claims to be . the swiftest runner, or the best negro dancer or horn blower ; it claims to be the best book, and so on. .The Post says : .,uIn a Connecticut law report, published in 1814, the following passage occurs in an opinion of . . . ... one 01 tne learned judges :. This is the naked question arising from the attempt of an heir to establish a title in an an cestor bv producing" a certified . copy of a deed without any claim that the original has been lost by time or accident. ' Daniel Webster, in his copy . of the book (now owned by a lawyer in this city), underlined the word claim, and wrote against it in the margin with pen and ink the following comment : ' The word claim means everything in the law language of Connecticut. Here a man 'claims' that he has lost a deed.' A great many words in the English language are misused, even by the best of scholars. Many years ago the New York Daily Tribune editor had posted in the composing room .fourteen words which be instructed the compositors not to use, but when they occurred in select copy to substitute other words of similar and oroDer meaning, hnt whirh wrsrHc ' he rl3,m ,i;u ' , , . 1 y auwu a wubiwonny for reliable. We wish we had that list. Horace Greeley took great pride in the literary merits of the , Tribune. Some time ago the Newfound- .land Government passed a law forbidding the sale of bait-to for eign fishing vessels most of which in those waters are under the flag of France.' The Queen of Eng land has disapproved the law. She approved a singular law enac ted by the Canadian Government against American fisherman." But there is a great difference betwesn injuring Ameiica and offending France. French fishermen are subsidized - by -the Government. rrench men of war are always stationed on the Newfoundland fishing-grounds.- It is dangerous r - 1 ...... l t . 1 . . - - looung to naui aown the rrench flag. . - . It may not be amiss to say that France owns the little island of St Pierre, way up in the northern' .regions! over which she stands guard, and from whence her fishing and war vessels is sue for the fishing grounds. Erratic Nature. A correspondent of the Bidde- ford Journal tells of -a remarka ble natural curiosity displayed on the wood lot of Alonzo Roberts, near Croodwin's Mills.

J F natural curiosity of real interest. We copy the above from the Salisbury Watchman. Whether TV- r:u 1: c i l Mr. Gibson lives near Salisbury, or whether the last paragraph is copied by the Watch man we know not. We once saw a tree of good size growing in the woods, with a limb grown into it, forming a bow. The limb had been forced up against the stem and in course of time adhered to it and looked as though it had grown into the tree. JLISTEN TO THE . TRUTH. The following few lines are cut from that live paper, the Pro gressive Farmer. There is a heap of truth in them; truth in a nut shell: To improve your farm you must have manure, to have manure you must have stock, to have stock you must have the grasses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Raleigh, N. C, Mar. 18, '87. At the recent session of the Leg islature an act was passed crea ting a bureau of labor statistics for North Carolina. The purpose of the bureau as denned in the act is as follows: The said commissioner shall collect information upon the. sub ject of labor, its relation to capi tal, the hours of labor, the earn ings of laboring men and women, their educational, moral and fi nancial condition and the best means of promoting their mental, material, social and moral pros perity. . The commis- sioner shall annually publish a re port in pamphlet form and send or cause to be sent a coP" t.the ed -n this - State, a copy to each member of the General Assembly of North Carolina, a copy to each of the several btate and county ofHcers of the State, a copy to any ciUiLcii wiiu oiiaii auuu lur il ci ther personally or by mail, and one hundred to each of the several labor organizations which may be in existence at the time nf the publication of the report in this State. He shall also make a full report to each session of the Gen- erai AssemDiy 01 tne miormation collected and collated by him and containing such recommendations as he may deem calculated to pro mote the efficiency of the bureau. The commissioner is hereby di rected to endeavor to publish an accurate list of all the newspapers published in the State, and wheth er the same be published daily or weekly, and to torward to each and all a copy ot his report promptly upon its being publish ed; he is also directed to diligently inquire after the labor organiza tions of the State, and to see that none are omitted in the distribu tion of the reports : he is farther directed to confine his labors, to this State. From the foregoing it will be I seen that the purpose of the leg? Mature in establishing the bureau was to place before the pe ople of our State as far as the same c an be done, the moral, education al, and financial condition of the working people of North Caroli na. To do this a great amount of information- must be gathered from many sources. A large part of this information must be col- lected bv corresoondence. Fol- lowing the plan adopted by oth- er State bureaus, blanks have been prepared, with questions. which, if answered, will elicit the information desired to be obtain- ea Dy tne act creating tne bureau rri z a 1 . 1 mosc m me aiaw who may De interested in the wrl- fAr wUlnU the bureau was created, whether "- they be employers or employees. landlords or tenants are solicited as correspondents, and any such to whom this notice may come are requested to send their names on a postal card to the 'Bureau of Labor Statistics, Raleigh, N.

You would be surprised to visit any one of these factories and see the great variety of things brought there by the farmers to sell. They sell ev erything, and hence they produce everything and get the cash for it.' Here is a lesson for the pocr for the farmer, lor the manufac turer, for the capitalist, for the merchant, for the political econo mist and the statesman. Diver sified industries is the true and substantial basis of healthful and permanent prosperity. When will our people, our politicians, our capitalists and legislators realize this all importan ttruth ? Pro gressive Jarmcr. The use of the gall of rattle snakes is warmly urged by M. Koscicky, of Austria, as an anti dote for snake bites. M. Kos cicky, who became acquainted with the antidote in Venezuela, declares it to be both inexpen sive and effective, as well as in stantaneous in its operation, crows and dogs in the last stage of the poison recovering immediately on the remedy being administered to them. Mrs. Sarah Bland, of Worth ington, Ind., claims to be the old est person in the State. She was born in Virginia in 1782. has borne eleven children, ten of whom are living, and according to the Worthington Times, has never been sick enough to call a physician. The Printer. If the manu scripts of speeches, sermons, law arguments, scientific or profes sional papers were printed as they come to the printer's hands, seven of ten great reputations would be wrecked, the educators of the grammar schools, the edu cators of the land, not excepted. There is something in the process of the handling of types, of read- ing copy, or correcting proois, that begets an aptitude that no other instruction can give. The mind is so trained that it detects errors in style, expression, and rhythm in composition, as the trained ear discovers discords in music. The printer is, after ali, the real protector of literary rep utation. R. T. Van Horn, ivir. nenry viiaway. a corre spondent of the New York Times who recently visited the principal manufacturing and commercial centres of the South, sums up the Southern situation as follows:- What the whole South needs is a broad guage immigration bureau. This will do more towards doub ling the population - ihsn all the syndicate schemes. The basis of growth is here and nothing short of a miracle can halt iL Constipation Is a nnirersal and most troublesome dis order. It causes Headache, Mental De pression, impairs the Sight and Xteari&s, destroys the Appetite, and, when long continued, causes Enlargement of the Iirer, Inflammation of the Bowels, and Piles. Constipation is speedily cured byAyer's rills.- For a number of months I was troubled with CosUveness. in conse quence of which I suffered from Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, and a disordered Iirer. My eyes also troubled me. I was compelled to wear a shade orer them, and, at times, was unable to bear ex posure to the light. I was entirely CURED BY USING three boxes of Ayer's Pills. I hare no hesitation in pronouncing this medicine to be the best cathartic ever made. James Eccles, Poland, Ohio. I suffered from Constipation, and, con sequently, from Headache, Indigestion, and Piles, for years. Ayer's Pills, which I took at the surest inn of a friend, hare given me effectual relief. I commenced taking this remedy two months ago, and am now free from Constipation, the re moval of which has caused my other troubles to disappear, and greatly im proved my general health. W. Keeler, Amherst; Mass. I suffered from Constipation, which assumed such an obstinate form that I feared it would cause a stoppage of the bowels. Two boxes of Ayers Pills cured me, completely. D.
