For a period of four years I've ben a victim of a very severe and azonizinor case of Salt Hhenin which afFeo'ed my hamU to such an txtent that they almost b'unn a burden. My hand became raw arjd hrrlfyin?, compelling uie to keep it covered all the t:m. I've spent hundreds of dol'ara for vari ous preparation!, but instead ofbene fitting my condition, they all seemed to stimulate and eneooraije the progress of the miserable disease, until I ha 1 about tiven up all hope. Itut thank heaven, "the daikst hour is just before day,'' and I n-j W-e to know that a postivw cure has I wen lound, which is known as B B. II. Botanic Blood Balm. My f-mily all rfjoice at its magical curative powers in giving me relief. My hand baa been cuied and resembles a burnt surface after being heaed over more than anything else. It has also rurred my two children of a loatheHoine form of luh which had resisted ail pre vious treatment. I refer o any bumnhs li"-use in M ody and to Th mas Payne.

CAPTAIN A Once Popular Story that has Delight ed Many a Hearer in Virginia and North Carolina in Former Days. The following story wis popularly related in Virginia and North Carolina some years ago, its authorship being variously attributed. We do not re member to have seen it in print lately and give it here. Scene a court of justice in North Carolina A beardless disciple of Themis rises and thus addresses the court : 44 May it please your worships and gentlemen of the jury, since it has been my fortune (good or bad I will not say) to exercise myself in legal disqui sitions, it has never before befallen me to be obliged to denounce a breach of the peace so enormous and transcend ing as the one now claiming our atten tion. A more barbarous, direful, marked and malicious assault; a more wilful, violent, dangerous, and murder ous battery; and, finally, a more dia bolical breach of the peace has seldom been seen in any civilized country; and I dare say it was never your duty to pass upon one so shocking to be nevolent feelings as this, which took place over at Optain Rice's, in this county. Uut yen win hear irom the witnesses." The witnesses being sworn, two or three were disposed of one said he heard the noise, but didn't see the fight ; another, that he saw the row but didn't know who struct first; and a third, that he was very drunk, and couldd't say much about the scrim mage. Lawyer Chops : " I am sorry gen- tlemen, to have occupied so much of your time with the stupidity of the wit nesses examined. It arose, gentlemen, altogether from rnissapprehension on my part. Had I known, as I now do, of a witness in attendance, who was well acquainted with all the circum stances of the case, and who was able to make himself clearly and intelligi bly understood by the court and jury, I should not so long have trespassed on your time and patience. Come forward, Mr. Harris." So forward comes the witness, a fat, chuffy looking man, a " leetle corned," and took his corporal oath with an air. Chops: 44 Mr. Harris, can you tell us all you know about the riot that happened the other day at Captain Rice's? And as a good deal of time has been already wasted in circumlo cution, we wish you to be as compen dious, and at the same time as explicit as possible. Harris: "Edzactly," giving the lawyer a knowing wink, at the same time clearing his throat. 44 Captain Rice, he gin a treat ; and Cousin Sally Dillard, she come over to our house and axed me if my wife mought go I told Cousin Sally Dillard that my wife was poorly, being as she had got a touch of the rheumatiz in the hip, and the big swamp was in the road, and the big swamp was up, for there had been a heap of rain lately ; but howsomever, as it was she, Cousin Sallv Dillard, my wile she mought go. Well Cousin Sally Dillard then axed me i Mose, he mought go. I told Cousin Sally Dillard that Mose, he was the foreman of the crap, and the crap was smartly in the grass; but, howsomever. as it was she, Cousin Sally Dillard Mose, he mought go. Chops : 44 In the name of common sense, Mr. Harris, what do vou mean by this rigamarole ?" Witness: 44 Captain Rice, he gin treat, and Cousin Sally Dillard, she come over to our house and axed me if my wife, she moughtn't go " Chops : 44 There it is again witness, witness, I say, please to stop." Witness: 44 ell, sir, what is it you want?" Chops: 44 We want to know about the fight, and you must not proceed in this impertinent story. Do you know anything about the matter before the court?" Witness : To be sure I do." Chops : 44 Will you go on and tell it and nothing else?" Witness: 44 Well, Captain Rice, he gin a tret " Chops : 44 This is intolerable. May it please the court, I move that this witness be committed for contempt. He seems to be trifling with the court." Court : 44 Witness, you are in a court of justice ; and unless you behave your self in a becoming manner you will be sent to jail ; so begin and tell what you know about the fight at Captain Rice's." Witness (alarmed): 44 Well, gentle meu, Captain Rice, he gin a treat ; and Cousin Sally Chops: 44 1 hope the witness may be ordred into custody." Court (after deliberating): "Mr. Attorney, the court is of the opinion that we may save time by telling the witness to go on in his own way. Pro ceed Mr. Harris, with your own story, but stick to the point." Witness: "Yes, gentlemen; well, Captain Rice, he gin a treat ; and Cousin Sally Dillard, she come over to our house and axed me if my wife, she moughtn't go. I told Cousin Sally Dillard thaTtfty wife was poorly, being as how she had the rheumatiz in her hip, and the big swamp was in the road, and the big swamp was up ; but, howsom ever, as it was she, Cousin Sally Dillard, my wife, she mought go. Well, Cousin Sally Dillard then axed me if Mose, he moughtn't go. I told Cousin Sally Dillard as how Mose. he was foreman of the crap, and the crap was smartly in the grass ; but, howsomever, as it was she, Cousin Sally Dillard, Mose, he mought go. So on they goes to gether Mose, my wife and Cousin Sally Dillard ; and they comes to the big swamp, and the big swamp was up, as I was telling you ; but being as how there was a log across the big swamp, Cousin Sally Dillard and Mose, like genteel folks, they walks the log ; but my wife, like a d n fool she hists up her clothes and wades right through. And gentlemen, that is all I know about the fight." AH ! WHO CAN TELL ? Ah ! who can tell what waits us when Hie veil That hides that other life is rolled away? Beyond its bounds mysterious, what dreads assail .' What lies within its shadows, who can say ? What waits us there Beyond our sight? Hope or despair, Or dav or night? Whence flies the soul when it casts off the clay ? Ah ! who can tell ? Our loved ones die ; through mists of blind ing tears In deepest gloom despairingly we grope ! Forebodingly we see the lonely years Lulighteu ly love, uncheered by hope. Ah ! who can tell? Where are our dead? Willall be well When life is fled? Guard they our path o'er life's descending slope i Ah ! who can tell? We Fee the ceremental winding-sheet. I no ton oi solemn itinera 1 bell we hear; The last sad rites are paid, and grief com plete Fills all the heart with desolation drear. The somber pall. The lonely hearth, Can this be all There is of earth? Ends life coffin, shroud with funeral bier ? Ah ! who can tell? E'en while we weep the tears that ease the heart In rays prismatic paint th o'erhanging sKies. And a new hope, of our great grief a part, In faith prophetic to the doubt replies : DtKiies must die Death is their goal, Lowly they lie Not so the soul : God keeps that with ever-watchful eyes- All win be well ! By sorrow proved, made pure by trials here. The chastened heart looks upward for retiei. And holds in spirit that communion dear Which is the well-spring of this sweet belief After the strife Cometh a rest. Eternal life The soul ! He gathers home, a precious sheaf, All is well. Will Pass Away. Wilson:Mirror. Reader, are you burdened with cares and is the roadway hot and drv and dusty, and do you feel like fainting by the wayside? If so, cheer up and find comfort in the blessed though that all these things will one dav end and pass away. Are you a sad victim of disappointment, and is your face now catching the pitiless peltings o misfortune s iciest and stormiest win ter? If so, remember that as the wild est beatings of the coldest winter yield to the odor-filled breath of the verna season and pass away, so will the rig ors and tempests of life's hardest win ter lose their power and their fury, and will one day end and pass away. Is your heart filled up with the sad, sad ruins of blighted and crushed and shattered dreams, and do you find scattered here and there in mournfu heaps the sharpened thorns of bitter memories? If so, remember that these will also fade and pass away. Are you forced to wear sorrow's crown of sorrow by remembering happier days, and are you keeping in sacred and sweetest nursery the old faded letters, all crumpled and yellow, once bright and beautiful evidences of a love which burned and glowed so warmly and so radiantly, but now cold and dead, and with nothing around it but ashes. Are you ? If so, remember that even these memories, and all of the relics that love used to wear will one day end and pass away.

Pittsburg Chronicle- Tele- THE MOSQUITO. AS HE IS FOUND IN GRINNELL SWAMP. A Graphic Narrative of Famous Trag edies in Which These Birds of Prey are Actors. ' r Wilmington Messenger. Long-suffering mankind has ever been subject to the fierce encroach ments of the gore-loving mosquito. "What's his name and where's his home" can be told easily. Lexico graphers have handled him, and, doubtless, he them. His family name is Culex, but the ; subject of this lucubration has " sport .j i j i. i . i i i . i cvci j u uc. ni oaironyuuc nas ueen lam marly treated by spellers, but he does not seem to care so long as a snore calls him to supper. His surname is spelt variously Mos quito, Musquito and Musketo Culex. Musk-eattr might be added with poign ant significance and obvious appo siteness. His aggressive activity begins early in life, so soon as cast out of the pa rental wigwam and grows with his growth and strengthens with his strength. His cussedness is innate and inherited. He is born with war paint on and tomahawk whetted. Each generation springs out more ferocious than the immediate prede cessor ana the generations average two and two-tenths a minute. Each age of man claims to raise the best and finest phkbotoinizers, but the Crinnel swamp specimen takes the confectioner, takes the baker, gathers the office boy, and makes a swipe at the black and tan grabbling at rats in the corner. He's a daisy with a pink eye. Grinnell swamp is a vast area of mud and muck in Pitt county, near Bethel. A Bethel black man, with axe, dog and torch, pursued coons therein ast week. The pursuit of coons was in vain; of potatoes successful to a degree that filled his soul and his stomach. Afier his third day out, his dear Dinah and children, whose souls had been yearning for stewed coon, began to grow anxious, and a search warrant, with a corner's inquest hitched to it, issued forth in quest of the much- missed Sambo. It found him on a dry place in the . i swamp, lhree mosquitoes witn ele phantine abdominal development were sitting cross-legged near by, guarding the carcass of poor loved and lost Sambo. A fourth was at Sombo s ash pile, having exhausted the succu lent juices of Sam, this fellow who hadn't got enough, was holding one of Sum's roasted potatoes up between his fore paws or claws and was lazily browsing thereon. The man was suck ed dry, but it took several athletic showers of lightwood knots before the roisters limped with over-much adi posity defiantly into the thicket. There is a Bethelian tradition that two of these birds of prey took each an arm of a small boy in the early part of this century arid escorted the urchin into the depths of the swamb there to fatten on his bones at sweet leisure and hush. The boy's cries were stifled by their death dirge so familiar to Wilmingtonian ears. These si)ecifications might he multi- plied and many in a future column, but it is all digretsion. Why, an account is before the writer now, how a Grinnell swamper convey- ed a half grown orker into the fast - nesses, by straddling the pig, carry log fashion, and just going right along over logs and through 44 tangled fenes, where the serpent feeds,"to the home of his youth and the abode of his family, As lawyers may be disbarred, so has the attempt been made on the ever active skeeter, as he is called where he most largely lurks. The re- suit has been, in the main abortive. A gauze canopy has been reared with sedulous care above and around the couch where the victim is alleged to repose.

Value of Agricultural Pepers, and the Importance oi Reading on the Farm as Elsewhere. The Gold Leaf has so often spoken of the necessity of farmers reading more the value of good agricultural publications to them and the impor tance of thinking and studying on the farm as well as in the lawyer's office or counting room, that we take pleas ure in publishing the following editori al article from the State Chronicle. It says : . It is the policy of the State Chroni cle to commend all North Carolina in stitutions and enterprises that are working to develop the State. There can be no development on any line that will benefit so large a class of our population as development in an agri cultural line. There is no denying the unpalatable truth that there is no agricultural boom in the State, and that there is no demand for farm lands. The enormous price paid for lots in a few of our growing towns is confined to the town proper it does not ex tend to farming lands. Why is that so? It is not our purpose to-day to at tempt to answer this question, but to sav that there is one man in North Car olina who is devoting all his time and talents to stirring up the farmers to an swer the question for themselves, and to devise ways for bringing about the betterment of the condition of their farms. That man deserves the co operation of all who know that there can be no substantial prosperity that has not its basis in agriculture. He has established an enterprise that has this object in view, and in the success of his enterDrise all North Carolinians are more or less interested The man who is doing so much for the farming interests of the State is Col. L. L. Polk ; and the enterprise which he has established is the Fro gressive Farmer, which has been 2 faithful and serviceable fi iend to all plans and measures that will aid the farmer. Col. Polk has not contented himself with speaking to the farmers through the columns of his paper, but, often at great personal inconvenience, ne nas gone' through the State giving utterance to truths that the farmers , have heard ladlv. With commenda- ' Die energy , and impassioned earnest j ness, he has done more in the past year to make the farmers pause and resolve to better their condition than ' any raan known to us, in North Car olina. For this he deserves the thanks Qf all men, and the support and co operation of all farmers. Col. Polk is publishing at Raleigh a first-class paper the Progressive Farmer which is devoted entirely to the interests of North Carolina farmers 'f he Chronicle is glad to know that it js succeeding, but we do not believe it is receiving that united support of the farmers to which its merits entitle it We have no desire to boom Col p0lk or his paper, and we write this merely because we think his services are not as highly appreciated as they ' tor doing great good, and because Col. ; Polk is so patriotically and zealously ' r.

Wilmington Messenger. j TTjere is not an agricultural Fair in North Carolina which does not bring benefits to the State more than commensurate with the scope an im portance of the exhibit. This is not as easily demonstrated as might be de sired in order to carry immediate con. viction ; but we have no doubt of the fact. There is no industry which equals in importance the agricultural interests of a State. We may have immense manufactories of all kind, and we may dig out of the earth the most valuable, the most precious and the most sub stantial of ores. We may have pro fessional men whose services are sought by the wealthy people of other States. But, unless those who conduct and promote the agricultural interests are encouraged to develop their labor, to enlarge their territory, and to conduct their operations according to the most valuable discoveries of modern science and the conditions of modern com merce, then the basis upon which the whole State is reared is an uncertain one, and the superstructure rests upon a foundation that is by no means sure. Within the current month there are to be several Fairs held in North Car olina. There is to be the State Fair at Raleigh, the Goldsboro Fair, and the annual exhibits at Fayetteville, at Tarboro and at Weldon. Each one of these events has more than mere local interest attached to it. Fhe success of the Raleigh Exposi tion and the fine results which have been obtained heretofore from previous State Fairs teach us a valuable lesson, one from which we should be quick to profit. It is this: The closer we get to those who represent the agricultural nterests of the State, the more cordial and intelligent relations we establish with those who contribute so largely to the welfare of the State, the better it will be for all classes, and all sorts and conditions of men in this com monwealth. For there is no industry in this State, or m any other, for that matter, which is not dependent upon the others which add to the wealth of the whole people. So, when the men of the mountainsand the sea-side come together, as they will at Raleigh, and as they should, also, at Goldsboro and Weldon, the results which should fol- ow ought to be of the most gratifying as well as the most valuable character. Primarily these Fairs, or these as sociations of farmers, merchants, me chanics, professional men, and the rep resentatives of the various elements that go to make up a commonwealth, are designed to promote business rela tions. While this is the primary object, it is by no means the most important one, as we view the matter. Something better and nobler than this should be accomplished. These are occasions on which men representing various, sometimes conflicting, interests are brought together. If the result is a better understanding between them, the abolition of old misunderstandings, the promulgation of better and more practical views, then more has been accomplished than would be in mere trade negtiaotions and the esprit du corps of the State, taken as a whole, has been improved. It is this esprit du corps, this pride of Stale, that we are anxious to see stimulated and increased. We have our own views upoa the subject, and we are satisfied that if there were more pride of commonwealth within our borders, more honest pleasure, nay, even amiable and well-timed boastful ness felt and expressed by every North Carolinian over the fact that he has a proud birthright in his North Caro linian citizenship, then every reproach which has been leveled at the State by hostile and censorious critics would vanish and be no longer heard. And the more often our people of various sections meet together, the nearer wc will draw to a common citizenship based upon real pride in past traditions and present resources and promise. Hence, indeed, we look for most val uable results. The farmers, merchants and manufacturers all brought together in communion will realize the impor tance of the interests which all repre sent. Then, by interchange of senti ment, by comparison of opinion, by going over the past, discussing the present, and looking intelligently in the face of the future, they will realize what cause there is for State pride. They will then be convinced that the glory of the commonwealth will be best promoted by unity of action. It may be demonstrated to them how inter dependent are all the industries and interests of the State, and how neces- Kiry it is that there should be concert of action and unanimity of sentiment in developing a general pride of State commensurate with the traditions of the past, the resources of the present, the promise of the future. We anticipate a vast amount of good from the Agricultural Fairs which will be held in North Carolina this year and in the years to come. , We trust we will not be disappointed in our expectations.
