Furniture is another thing for which the South spends millions annually. Nine-tenths of the better quality oi this furniture is imported from other States when we have the finest lumber in the world tor making it within easv reach and at a nominal cost com pared with what it costs tne Northern furniture maker.

Probably no Democratic Vice-President ever entered upon office who more thoroughly represents Democratic principles and who has more endeared himself to his nartv His recoid as a Democrat is unexcelled, He believes in the principles of Jeffer- son and the methods of Jackson. He has proved his devotion to the former by his speeches in the South and West, and his fealty to the latter by his ' J action -bil Aiscnn I'num.Kipr (General. During the four years of nis incuml.iency he removed over 45, 000 Republican fourth class post masters and put sterling Democrats m 1 heir places. When lie brings the Senate to order on March 4 he will face Senators who refused to confirm his appointment by President Cleveland to the bench of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. It may awaken peculiar emotions in the hearts of these Sena tors to think that if they had confirmed Mr. Stevenson's appointment he never would have been elected Vice-Presi dent of he United States. However much Mr. Stevenson may have felt aggrieved at his rejection at the time he can now view it with philosophic complacency. Mr. Steverson will make an "excel lent presidirg officer. He is calm, judicial, and dignified. His friends say that it will be impossible for him to give offence to any Senator. The rights of all will be scrupulously ob served. While a strict party man in every sense of the word he is incap able of being personally unkind to anyone. A personal friend of Mr. Cleveland, and a valuable officer in firmer administration, he will un doubtedly be consulted in all mat ters of importance. The Democratic Senators will be in touch with him, and he will be in touch with the ad ministration. More than this he will relieve the office of Vice-President from the innocuous desuetude to which by common consent it seems to have been heretofore consigned. But this is not all. Vice-President Morton has been a prominent figure socially in Washington for the last four years. It will be difficult to fill his place in the social world.

The Phrenological Journal and Science of Health for January is out in a new cover and is an unusually interesting number. It starts off with a remarkably life-like portrait of Jay Gould and a description of his character by Prof. Sizer, followed bv a pertinent biographical sketch.

Practical Phrenology stands out conspicuously in this issue. "Human Pursuits, and How to Study them Phre- noloically, is to constitute a series of articles by one who has nau an expe rience not equalled by any other phre nologist, Prof Nelson Sizer, in this num ber the topic being " The Lawyer." The same author writes about "Heads and Faces, anil What They Indicate," amply illustrated, the first of a systematieseries under this title which will add much to the interest of the Journal. "Modern Football" is an illustrated article, with terse and '! taken-remarks upon the influence of 1 iracter in the choice of sports and upon the abuses of muscular exercise. The Columbian Exposition is further considered, this issue containing illustrated descriptions of the United Stales Naval Exhibit and Machinery Hall. Mrs. Annie Besant. a lady whose interest in Theosophy and allied psychic phenomena has made her well known, is now in this country and lecturing on topics related to the above. The Phre- nological gives her portrait, description of, her rhfiriictM nnrl mi nnnrpeiative notii of her work. The several deimrtments of the Journal arc well rilled, as usual, with matter that is appropriate to the season and of special value to thereader. All the world knows the usefulness of the Phrenological, yet it is not superfluous to sav that every bod v should subscribe and read it with care.

North Carolina is not retrograding. She is progressing. A number of im portant questions are being promi nently discussed now by her news papers and energetic citizens. One of the topics that is receiving serious consideration generally is that of a State reformatory for youthful crimi j nals- 1 he meeting of the btate board f uic Chanties m Raleigh the first ! f 'ear. recommended that the j Slate establish such a reformatory, ! We reca11. Wlth pleasure, as we take i UP this matter, that our esteemed con- .u - 1 Cj r temporary, uie oucoru tanuuru, has been a verv ardent supporter of a reformatory, leading all the other State papers in this matter. Probably no one man has done more to bring the matter hefore the public and stir up a sentiment in favor of it than W. A. Blair, a sterling Quaker citizen of Winston, and a member of the State Board of Charities. Under the present penal system of North Carolina youthful criminals are sent to the county jails, or the State penitentiary, where they are thrown in daily association with the most corrupt, vicious and hardened criminals. The consequence is that when the term of imprisonment ot the youthful criminal expires, he goes f-.rth into the world, punched but not penitent. He is soon at the old ways again, and generally ends by a second term of punishment longer than the first, or perhaps suffers the death penalty. The crying need of the State is a reformatory for these young offenders. A school where they may be taught the error of their ways and trained to become good citizens and useful members of society. The report of the State Board of Charities has not yet been made public, and we do not therefore know defin itely what the plan for the reforma tory is, whether it will be in connec tion with the penitentiary or not, nor what provision there will be for white and colored offenders, but wc are glad that the matter is being agitated. The Board asks for $20,000 appropriation for the establishment of the institution, and the Governor in his recent mes sage to the General Assembly approved the action of the Board and recom mended the establishment of the re formatory. Indiana has a house of Refuge al Plainfield, which has been in success ful operation for a number ot years. It provides that any boy between 8 and 1 8 years of age may, when con victed of breaking the State's laws, be sent to this reform school, no com mitment to be for a shorter term than I until the bys sha11 attain the aSe of twenty one years No diseased children are allowed : .u 1 i 'i'u ... c u : ",c M-.,,UU1- 1UC "Ul" MM J 1 1 1 j i ne govertioi may uuruig-a uuy s minority order him from the StAte prison to tne retorm school, but it he persistently attempts to escape or is refractory, the governor may order him back to prison. if Tie DOGS OF A SOVEREIGN STATE. Aslicville Citizen. 1 We believe that at least once each day in some North Carolina town a man, woman or child most frequently the latter is bitten by a dog supposed to be mad. At least once a week a whole community is terrorized by some strange dog appearing in the midst of it, snapping at men and animals, and often causing the loss of valuable horses. It is a common thing to see in the weekly papers of the State such itenas as the following from the States ville Landmark's correspondent at Trout man's : "There is, or has been, great excite ment about mad dogs throughout this vicinity for the last six or eight days. Mr. Adam Flyer was bitten by a strange dog in his yard Thursdav morning while feeding. Mr. W. F. Alli son was also bitten on the foot by a strange dog in the yard of Mr. M. M.Lit aker, but there was no blood brought, the skin not being broken, and he is thought to be in no danger, even if the dog was rabid." The astonishing thing about it is, that all this terror, financial loss and distress, with frequently death, is self imposed. The people of North Car olina voluntarily take the risk of a great horde of curs going mad, or ; biting right and left as if mad, with j all the cheerfulness that goes with the j pleasant and profitable things of life. If, here and there, a wealthy nabob 1 should settle in North Carolina, and ', at intervals turn loose on thesurround- : ing community a set of animals half , as vicious and costly as the cur dogs . that infest the whole State, we should have a succession of riots that would . . , , . , , startle the whole country, and draw sympathy from the entire civilized globe. North Carolina is not alone in her assumed misery. Georgia has her tale of woe as well. Recently two men with capital the kind the whole South is clamoring for went to that State and began to raise sheep there an in dustry North Carolina is even better fitted for than her sister State. It needed only a few months to convince the sheep men that thej had gotten into the wrong pew that it was already pre-empted by thousands of miserable animals that toiled not nor spun, but simply ate sheep when they could not get men and women to chew. These shepherds thereupon packed their trunks and left for a civilized country. Thereat the Constitution remarks : " In the long run these worthless dogs are a heavy tax on thr resources of the State. They not only kep down the sheep raising industry, but they drive out well-to-do men who come here to eii gage in it. The trouble about it is that there is no remedy for thisstateof things in Georgia. The public sentiment of the ! . mare nas long ueen in iavor ot a taw that would tax the worthless dogs out of existence. Hut when such a measure is proposed the Potiphar Peagreens who manage to get into the Legislature take measures to suppress it, and they have been highly successful thus far. The truth is, the Hon. Potiphar Peagreen has a swnrnt of worthless dogs of his own, and in this matter he is his own constituent. " We are sorry to lose these men, but they may have the consolation of know ing that they are not the only citizens who have been run out of the State by the conditions brought about by Pea green legislation." Is it possible that the present North Carolina Legislature will adjourn with out attempting to abate this nuisance that is costing the State hundreds of thousands of dollars, directly and in directly, yearly? SOME THOUGHTS NESS. ON BUSI- Durham Sun J Within the past week or so several very large failures have taken place good men, with a large business have been pressed to the wall. We have in our mind's eye one in Macon, that occurred Monday, a dry goods firm. We are told that they had exceptional difficulty in making their collections, although good judgment was very generally used in their credit accounts The old story. This is the rock upon which many honest, accommodating firms strike. Hard collections. Creditors press on them and they are compelled to yield ! to the inevitable. This is hard. After a man has labored honestly ; accommodated partrons when money was close with them ; and then have his bills rejected or indifferently considered by those who have profited and been benefit ted by his efforts and risks it is hard to see such a man become so involved that he must give up all and bear the brunt of other people's carelessness, indifference and indisposition to pay him. This idea of business is all wrong. The masses of the people should reform along this line as much so as any other. Of course there are times when a purchaser's inability to pay is too plain tor argument, uut men, and women, too, should be cautious and not rush into debt without con sidering pay day. It is morally wrong to buy goods without a set, determined effort to pay in a reason able time. Short accounts make long friends, and this should be borne in mind by every one, and it will prevent many a good man from going to the wall. The argument, however, is not all on one side. There are some people who ask tor credit and get it who have uo idea of paying ; regular com mercial dead beats, human vampires, living on other people's profits and sucking what life blood they can get out ot every line of business walking, talking incubuses to every business man's growth and prosperity. Then, too, there are business men who are not discreet. For the sake of trade they credit promiscuously. Risk all sorts of demands for credit and when they strike the class alluded to above they simply give away their goods and profits, with a big bundle of bills and trouble attached in hav ing a collector to wear out those bills in tramping around and getting noth ing but worry and walking. Business is business. Every man should have a due regard for the man he deals with in order that confidence and cash may be reciprocal. This is the life of the commercial world. It is a good motto to pay as you go, and when you can't pay don't go too far. The Review of Reviews for January con tains a galaxy of brilliant attractions. It may well claim to be the most amaz ingly up-to-date number, ot the most thoroughly alive magazine, ever pul lished in the world. Its great and brilliantly-illustrated character sketch of President Diaz and the Mexican people and country was written in the City of Mexico since that gentleman's inaugura tion for the new term, early iu December; and the photographs for illustration were taken, exclusively for the Review of Review, in the City of Mexico in Decem ber.
