A great deal has been said about leap year, when the women arc sup posed to be clothed with license to ex orcise the prerogatives of the men and do the love making. Almost two months ol leap year have vanished into the past, and so far there has been no rppreciablc increase in parsons' fees, or the receipts of wedding cake at this office. While the greater part of the year lies before us this is enough to sl ow that all the stories of women proposing marriage to men are pure fu tion. They are not constituted that v-.y, and it is a slander upon the virt uous and modest women of the land to say that they would exercise such a right even were it accorded them once, in every four years. It is safe to say that not one mar riage in 100,000 is brought about by the woman in the case doing the talk ing. The (I01.D I, eat challenges the production of any well authenticated case in all North Carolina where the woman has "popped the question." Such a case will be printed in the in terests of a broader knowledge and the rames of the parties held sacredly in confidence. t there is other language than tint f the lips. The language of the eye- ;s often a very plain speech and no woman waits for leap year to do that kind of talking. She begins wh. r the century comes in and talks tint way right through the hundred yeai and its language is as universal as i: advocates claim volapuk will be. So ii, one sense it may be said that all ye n .ire leap years; for few men will ak ti-.e momentous question when a won in looks at him as if she thought he v re a howling chump. V. t if a man "keeps company" with a certain woman year in and year out, frightening off other available men. and eye language above referred to ha ; no effect, why should she not put the question to him as a matter of self defense? Why not indeed, and nuke him move in one direction or t'ac other? It may be that the woman who hesitates is lost. This is the mo mentous year.

He is the fellow who, while judge of the Infe rior Court of Buncombe county some years ago, fined the editors of the Asheville Citizen for alleged contempt of his court. They indulged in a bit of sarcasm in connection with a case at issue before him. It appears that it was a sort of picayune affair and the jury was hung. In alluding to it the Citizen in a bit of humor said it would be a good thing if the judge, jury, prosecuting attorney and all were hung, or words to that effect, at which the sensitive feelings of his Honor were so outraged that the publishers, Messrs. I'lirman, Stone and Cameron, were prosecuted for contempt as above stated. I lis appointment is favorably commented on by those who know him and gives satisfaction to his friends. THE CORRECT WAY TO FARM. The farmer who makes his supplies at home is the one who is on the safe side always. Tobacco and cotton may be a partial failure, or the prices may be ruinously low, but he is independ ent and can live without having to get some one to "run him", until another crop is made. We like to know of farmers who live at home. The Louis burg Times alludes to several farmers in its county who, while raising some cotton, also raised more food supplies than they would need, with much to spare. These gentlemen, notwith standing the low price of cotton, were i out of debt and were therefore com fortable. Suppose every farmer in the State who raises either cotton or to bacco, had his smokehouses and barns full of food supplies, how much better off they would be to-day. This but illustrates the advantages that must follow the course recommended by the farmers in the cotton belt to raise less cotton and full food supplies. Will the recommendations be followed, however ? POIXTLN(Ta MORAL. The custom our people have of de p:ndi;ig upon the North and West for many of the things they should make or raise themselves is one great draw back to their greater prosperity. Too much of their meat, flour, grain, hay, oats, farming implements, furniture, vVc, are of foreign growth or manu facture. Too many of their horses and mules are raised in Tennessee and Ken tucky. These thoughts are suggested anew by the following article from the ( 1 reciisboro 1 1 'orkman : 4 Jut arrived two car loads of Kentucky anil West Virginia horses and mules which will be sold cheap." This is the wording of an advertise ment in the New Heme Journal, but what a long story is told in this brief paragraph. A story with a moral by which the agriculturists of North Car olina with her splendid climate; with her acres and acres of agricultural and grazing lands; with her rich stores of succulent grasses which the far-famed blue grass of Kentucky even can not surpass; North Carolina, with her far mers who should study their on in terests, buying horses and mules from Kentucky and West Virginia. Do you want to know why, when low prices for cotton and tobacco i come, you are so hard pressed for money. 1 he reason is ulainlv to be independent. The same may be true of North Carolina if the farmers will consult their own interests and turn their attention in that direction. A lot of plant bed cloth of a good quality, just reeeivw.1 at H.

Leap-Year Valentine Party in Oxford. The Leap-Y'car Valentine Party given by the young ladies of Oxford last Friday evening was i success in every seme. They spared no pains or expense in giving to the young men a most enjoyable evening; and the success which crowned theis efforts was duly merited. It was a sensible, a sociable, au enjoyable oceasiou. To whirl in the giddy waltz with a charming partner to the mellow strains of harp and violin is fascinating in the extreme; it is fine exercise; it gives to the eyes a brilliant sparkle, and brings to the cheeks of a beautiful girl (and there are not a few in Oxford) the ruddy glow of health and vigor. To dance gives ease and grace to the body as it moves from place to place, and to indulge in it with moderation is sanc tioned by hygenie science. A change, however, is always re freshing ; and with this in view the young ladies of Oxford achieved the very acme of success last Friday even ing when they gave their Leap-year Valentine Party." The programme was carried out most pleasantly. After introducing the strangers, and a few words to get acquainted and make engagements, a young lady would show you her card containing topics for discussion, and ask you to .write your name opposite a certain topic that she wanted to dis cuss with you. Twenty minutes were allowed to each tope. The writer does not remember all the topics, though one was, " Ought young ladies exercise their icap-year prerogatives?" (Of course the men chose the affirmative, thereby relieving the young lady of any embarrassment.) Another was "Love"' how delightful to have a young lady modestly, blushingly, coyly ask you to discuss that topic with her. One of our Henderson young men dis cussed that topic with his sweetheart, though she had had his views on that sub ject in no uncertain words before. Of course Slte-vas-iy enjoyed having such a partner to discuss that topic with her. I wonder if he received what the French would call Le Vayue response ? These discussions ended at 11 o'clock, when the post office (Loveland) was opened and the mail (Valentines) dis tributed. These were cards painted by the young ladies, tied with bows of ribbion and having written upon them quotations. Very unique valentines they were too. This was a very pleas ant half hour, but the hour following is not to be forgotten. The young ladies escorted their partuers 'down to supper, and a most elegant one it was. Every thing that the appetite of the dantiest epicure could wish for was there ; and it would not he prevaricat ing to say that the young men showed their hearty appreciation. Hut what gave the greatest charm to the occa sion were those beautiful waitresses who stood at your back and saw that your every want was gratified, and making you think you were in paradise by their bewitching smiles and pleasant words. The programme for the evening was concluded by the young ladies voting for the handsomest, the most popular, the most conceited and the homliest young men. The men stood on one side of the hall and looked their best (each one expecting that he would get the first prize), while the young ladies occupied the other side and prepared their bal lots. While writing their ballots it reminded the writer of a large painting which occupies one end of the Com mencement Hall at the University of Virginia. The picture is a copy by a celebrated French artist of Raphael's School of Philosophy" iu the Vatican at Rome. This painting contains sixty life-size figures, groups of philosophers of different aaes. all dressed in bright colored over celebrated painting; though the young i ladies were lar more beautiful and fascinating than any painting could possibly be. To see them as they stood in a group all unconscious of how graceiui tnev looked, made a most beautiful picture. Of the large number of about sixty youn- ladies present there was not a single homely one, and at least twenty who were beautiful. Such a large per cent, of pretty women is seldom seen.

" The Aurora Borealis is a nocturnal luminous meteor supposed to be electri cal, often very splendid, especially in high : Northern latitudes. It consists of white, crimson, pale greenish yellow and steel colored mellow light, and exhibits vari ous and changing forms and appear ances as the arch, columnar up-shooting i streams, and beautiful coruscations, which sometimes cover the whole heavens. It takes its name from its resemblance to the dawn." A rare form of the Aurora is that in which the rays appear to hang from the sky like the fringes or folds of a mantel. The one that has just visited us was of an unusual form, size and color. Crimson Aurone like ours have often been imagined by the superstitious to be omens of war, pestilence, and famine. " The flaming splendor, Threatening the world with famine, plague and war, To princes death, tokinsrdoms many ourses, To all estates, enevitable losses; To herdsmen rot, t ploughmen hapless seasons, To sailors storms, to cities civil treasons." And people of peotic temperament havo j easily imagined that they have seen on the bosom of the Aurora "Fierce, fiery warriors tight upon the clouds In rank and squadrons and right form of war." In many parts of Ireland a scarlet Au rora is supposed to be a showerof blood, and under that name it is meutioned in the old annals, always in connection with some battle or the murder of a great chief. Our Aurora came too late to play any part in our Chilian embroglio. Perhaps if our President could have had it to come a little earlier, his premature Mes sage might have matured and borne bloody fruit. If I did not know what the late scarlet Aurora was, I should hope that it was the bloody shirt that the North has been waving at the South for a quarter of a century, snatched away from the lying fanatics by the hand of a just God, out raged beyond endurance by the infamous slanders of those South haters and the true traitors and only traitors to this government Ingalls, Shepherd, Sherman, Foraker, and their coajutors. Auroral displays are frequent, if not continuous, near the magnetic poles, while in middle latitudes they are t in variable accompaniments of all consid erable magnetic storms. Near the Equa tor they hardly ever occur. There is considerable variety in the forms they assume. (1) A horizontal light like the morning Aurora or break of day. (2) An arch of light which fre quently extends across the heavens from east to west; five of such arches have been seen in the polar region at onetime. (T) Slender luminous beams or columns well defined and with bright light. (4) The corona. (5) Waves or flashes of light. The Aurora Borealis of the Arctic win ter is said to be the most magnificent spectacle that relieves the gloom of that region. "It bursts with the suddenness of a storm upon the Northern horizon, and ppeeds to the zenith in a great arch of flame, heaving and waving to and fro, sending out flashing bams, and play ing the tricks of meteors in color itnd velocity. Then there is a gathering of splendors in the centre of the magnificent arch. The brilliancy of the meteoric streams grows more intense, the red color of their base, the preen of their middle, the yellow of their tips, becomes deeper and more vivid. They dart with greater vivacity through the skies. The earth itself glows with the magical light. The sea, when unfrozen, and the ice fields, gleam with a strange and wierd beauty. Heaven and earth tremble in their out- meteoric play is less vivid and frequent, the storm subsides, and the gloom of wiifi- tuix-eeus tue iiuunigat niagmn- i cence.

It may be taken aa conclusive that the Aurora is some sort of an electric dis charge; there is much discussion and doubt as to the origin of the electricity. The n; nrest reasonable hypothesis is that of Do la Rive, gay the authorities, who declares that the Aurora is an elec tric discharge between the magnetic poles of the earth, leaving the vicinity of the North magnetic pole in the form of clouds of electrified matter which float toward the South Polo through the at mosphere at a height of forty miles or more from the earth, and while they are thus moving forward, bright streams of 8UI1' ha3 crated mitigations, and sei- ence concludes that there is some con- neeuou uerween tne two (tnere is an nn- mense and unusual spot cm the sun at thia time), and out of this grows the theory that Aurora-are caused by a di uuv ,UI wecincuy irom tne sun. .
