GREENSBORO, N.. C. Entered at "the Post -Office at Greensboro, N. C a second class mail matter. By J. S. Hampton. WEDNESDAY, - - JUNE 1,1887. JC Robert Louis Stevenson, the celebrated j author, has come into a large property through the death of his father. ' ' A young man known as Jubilee juggins is now the heaviest "plunger" on the English turf. He recently came into a fortune of $2,500,ooo,but is going through it rapidly. He lost heavily on the Derby. Jg-Mr. Abington, owner of the Derby winner, Merry Hamp ton, was prostrated for a day after the race from over-excitement. Other men felt a collapse from a different reason, not unconnected with a lean wallet. Benjamin F. Butler has . been ?ivinGT advice tO the Students 1. . . " tt i. t ... I JOI tne X305LOI1 umvgisii x-.c. School. One of the most charac teristic of his remarks ran as fol- "Make a bargain about OWS tees, and be sure to do this early knd get your pay early." g Dr. Ward, who is with the President in the North Woods, is a handsome lyoung physician of Albany. He and Mr. Cleveland , became great friends when the latter was Governor. Dr. Ward is an accomplished artist with the fly and is also fond of deer stalking. - J5 Mrs. Hopkins has endowed a chair of Mental and Moral Philosophy at Mills College, Cali fornia, in honor of Mark Hopkins, the venerable ex-President' of Williams College. The endow ment fund is $50,000. The Rev. Dr. Stratton, the new President of Mills College, will fill the chair. .-HsT-Gen. Boulanger is de scribed by a recent interviewer as "a short man, rather stoutly built, with brown hair, brown beard, rather a red face ; above all things, quiet looking almost to commonplaceness. He wore the ordinary French civilian's dress of black frock coat and trousers, with only the single red spot in his buttonhole." Thomas A. Edison, the electrician, has a keen apprecia tion of humor. During his recent illness he was constantly annoyed by having his nurse take his temperature at frequent intervals. One day he slipped the thermome ter into a cup of hot tea. The nurse soon after-attempted to measure his temperature and was horrified to find that Mr. Edison was apparently burning up with the hottest fever a man ever en--diired. An interesting feature of the new rules of precedence at the White House lies in the fact that next year the youngest vo mrn in the Cabinet circle will have first place in the line of assistants at the Presidential re ceptions. Miss Bayard, the eld est daughter of Secretary Bayard, who now presides over his house hold, takes precedence over the other Cabinet ladies at the right of Mrs. Cleveland. Miss Bayard is about Mrs. Cleveland's age, quite tall, and a very ' attractive woman. ' - -J5 A remarkable literary partnership has been N formed be tween Julian Hawthorne and In spector Thomas Byrnes chief of the New York Detective Bureau. The result will be a series of tales luuiiucu on tact, for which Mr. Byrnes will furnish the material ana Mr. Hawthorne the literary worKmansnip. 1 he stories wilL , doubtless be of absorbing interest The history of literature does not furnish an instance of colUibora- tion in fiction which lias promised better results than we may ex pect from Hawthorne and Byrnes. 1 ,1 NEW FACTS ABOUT THE ONCO The Itlvcr Fonnd to Have ft Wider Kx pansion Than at Stanley Pool. At its month the Congo river Is of enor mous depth, but only 100 miles or so above Stanley pool CapL Braconnier said a year or two ago that "steam launches drawing barely two and a half feet of water have to be dragged along by our men." IL H. Johnston mentions the same fact hi his description of the Congo.' 'Our boat is constantly run ning aground on sandbanks," he wrote. "It has an extraordinary effect to see men walk ing half way over a great branch of tho river, with water only up to their ankles, tracing the course of some hidden sandbank." Stanley, Johnston, and. others attributed the remarkable shallowness of the river to its great breadth in this part of its course; but none of them knew how wide the rier really is above the Kassai river. We now have some new light on this ques tion, which is a very interesting one, because the Congo is nextto the greatest river in the world, and new discoveries . with regard to the river are apt bo be on a large scale. Capt. Rouvier has been'surveying this part of the river, and he finds that for a distance of about fifty miles the river is much wider than was supposed, its width, in fact, is irom fifteen to twenty miles, a circumstance that has not been discovered before on account of many long islands, some of which have al ways been taken for one shore of the river. It follows, therefore, that there is a vast ex panse on the upper.Cougo similar to and very much larger than Stanley pool. Steamboats have passed each other in this enlargement of ne river without knowing of each other's proximity. It is easy to understand, there-. fore, how it happens that the Congo is in this place so very shallow, while in harrow por tions of the lower river no plummet line has ever yet touched bottom. Navigation in this part of the Congo would be almost impossible were it not that here and there soundings are revealing channels deep and wide enough for all the requirements of steamboat traffic. New York Sun. A Treeless Forest. Away down in Devonshire, in the south western part of England, there is a very in teresting tract of land. It is known as Dart moor forest, and is so named in all old deeds and grants of land; yet, with the exception of a small grove of dwarf oaks, it is almost entirely without trees! This strange contra diction is said to be due to the fact of the greater part of Dartmoor having actually been a forest years ago, but it was so infested with fierce wild animals that the people were forced, in self defense, to set fire to the trees, aud so, by degrees, the forest was destroj-ed. Certain it is that the soil of the moor is composed of rich, black, vegetable matter, and that remains of treo trunks have been found under the ground. Moreover, the peo ple of one district have, for generations, en joyed the privilege of free pasturage, through a grant awarded their ancestors for services in destroying wolves in Dartmoor forest; for the same reason they are allowed to gather the peat which abounds in the fens or marshy lands, and which makes an excellent fuel. The atmosphere of the moor is nearly always moist and foggy. Indeed, the people who live there say thaW The west wind always brings wet weather. The east wind, wet and cold together; The south wind surely brings us rain, The north wind blows it back again. American Agriculturist. A Senseless but Startling Feat. Johann Richter, a 17 year old apprentice in Vienna, a few days ago accomplished tho senseless but startling feat of climbing 453 feet to tho topmost point of the great tower. which is the crowning glory of the grand ola cathedral of St. Stephen's in that city. Ho climbed up at night. An account says: No moon was shining as he stole to the foot of the tower, and watching for his opportunity ho strapped a black and yellow flag on his back, and began to"clatter up the lightning conductor. Ere he had ot half way up his clothes were torn in a dozen places, his boots were split and tho blood was streaming from his lingers. But he hung on like grim death, taking advantage of every chance protuber ance, and after heroic exertions actually reached tho summit. The slightest head swimming or tho slightest nervousness and he would have been dashed to pieces. Happily, ho never lost his presence of mind, and in the morning when the Viennese looked up at the cross of the old "Steffen,"as they aff ectionateh call it, to their amazement tied to it they savv a tiny black aud yellow pennon fluttering hi tho breeze. Richter was arrested by tho police, but discharged by the court after a lecture, New Orleans Times-Democrat. Watited It Tor Their Crazy Quilts. Governor Gray vas one of tho most aston: ished persons ever seen for a few moments the other afternoon. Anions the sitrhtseers at ths new state Capitol building were two nicely dressed ladies who, after meeting the governor and being shown through with a great deal of courtesy, stopped before one of the beautiful lambrequins, which cost some thing over 300, aud both modestly requested that tney le permitted to cut "lust a small. little piece." as hey were both making "such lovely crazy quilts," and they wanted so much to havo some of that lovely material in them. After the ladies had somewhat hastily departed he said in conversation that it was remarkable what some people would ask for. Only recently he was asked to mail some of tho ground of the state house yard to a man m Illinois, who stated in his letter that ho had a little dirt from tho grounds of every state house in tho Union ex ccpVlndiana. He got the dirt Indianapolis Sentinel. An Overcoat on the Statue. The fact that Mr. Ward, the sculptor, ha3 put an overcoat on his statue of Garfield is a source of great relief to people on Capitol hid, who have been greatly distressed at see ing Groonough'a huge, naked Washington sitting out in sleet and snow. Mr: Ward is the first man to put an overcoat on a statue in Washington, and ho has shown great bold ness and originality in doing so. Besides, it H a ready made ouo with a card pocket on right side.
