SKATING. I Baltimorean.l Niw that we have been having a .-.pill if general wintry weather, the lo er of out door sports indulges in vi ions of the pleasures and enjoy menis w licli the season has in store for him. Let those who will remain at home, at 1 stopping up every nook and nanny in the house, defy the roaring w diout. Let them sit comfortably b - the blazing hearth and give them- 5( "ves up to quiet amusements read ing, music, dancing, laughing and ph-asant discourse. But for him who loves the open fields, this indoor en- te tainment has only a secondary at tr ciion. Far dearer to him are the Imuties of the wintry solitude; the fr- e, bracing atmosphere; the crystal ic ; the whitened hill and slope lying apainst the leaden skv; the snow muf flt .1 wind, the sharp crack of the horse- nitn's whip; the merry tinkle of sleigh- btlls. Many and interesting are the diver sions which the cold season offers, of wiiich one of the pleasantest and most invigorating is skating, by which, as ll-.; poet Klopstock, himself passion a::ly fond of the sport, said, " man, li e the Homeric gods, strides with w nged feet over the sea, transmuted mlo solid ground." Like the move ments of smooth-winged birds are the gi.tceful windings of the skatersasthey " Come and trip it as they go, On the light, fantastic toe." Klopstock has sung the praises of tl : art in several odes, as has also G ethe, Herder and other poets. Skating, too, possesses the merit of o ing easily learnt, even without a c tcher. The philosopher who de c! ired that the whole art consisted .nerely in transferring the centre of g ivity from one foot to the other," w is, of course, at fault, as was satisfac torily proved when he essayed a dem 0 istration, instantly transferring his : ntre of gravity from both feet, so as ' honor the frozen element with a si lden salute from that part of the b dy which usually gravitates on a c air. Hut with two hours daily prac ti :e, the tyro ought to master the ele n "nts of the art in a week. And then, h w richly his efforts will be repaid ! The origin of skating dates very far b'Ck. Skating was probably first prac ti ed in the far north of Europe, in Scandinavia and in northern Germany. 1 Russia it has never been a national jk stime, because no smooth ice is f( dnd on its rapidly running rivers. 1 te earliest notice of skating in Eng land is found in an old chronicle of London, where it is said that " when the great fenne or moore (which wa te eth the walls of the citie on the north side) is frozen, many young men pay upon the yce." And then the chronicler goes into detail, saying that snie tye bones to their feete, and u .der their heels, and shoving them st Ives by a little picked staffe, do slide as swiftly as a birde flyeth in the air, or an arrow out of a orosse-bow." Here then, though the implements wre rude, we have skating. It is to Holland, however, that the world is indebted for its first knowledge of ci mplete skates, such as are still in use, . e., wooden stocks with metal b; ides ; and that country is usually looked upon as the home and birth place of modern skating. Certainly the Dutch, both in variety of attitude ai d rapidity of movement, are greatly le superiors of other nations. With out skates, trade in winter must be almost entirely suspended in Holland ; iud there not only men and women state, but even children of five and si . years are seen skimming over the ice. Provisions are carried with a.- lonishing despatch, and surprising d stances are passed over by these hxbitual sliders. There are two distinct styles of skating. The running style consists si nply in going straight ahead at the g eatest possible speed. The Holland slate, with low, broad blade and nar rc w stock, projecting and curved at tl z front, is best adapted to this style. B practice, great speed may be at u. ned in this manner of skating. The sc oond and more popular style, which is of English origin, is figure-skating. F r this style, the best skates are the sf f adjusting, first produced in Canada, r which clamps take the place of sfaps. The Rocky River Farmers' Alliance, o' Cabarrus county, at a recent rneet ir g adopted the following resolution: " Resolved, That we earnestly urgeupon pi-. nters in the cotton States to continue 1 i reduction in acreage of cotton, for tl. year 1893, to the end that the price nviy be maintained and that we may mine onr own hom snpplies." ODR PDBLIC ROADS. MEN PROMINENT IN LAST WEEK'S NATIONAL CON VENTION. General Roy Stone, Vice-President and Acting Secretary of the League, Describes the Ori gin, Progress and Plans of the Great Crusade for Better High ways. Renewed interest in the road im provement reform has been awakened by the big convention of the Nation.il League for Good Roads, held at Wah ngton January 17th and 18th, which was composed of such members of the general board as could be assembled together and other prominent friends ot the good roads movement. The convention devoted itself to the more complete establishment of the league throughout the United States. To an inquiring reporter Gen. Roy Stone, of New York, general vice presi dent and acting secretary of the league, thus outlined the history and object of the organization: The National League for Good Roads was formed at a convention called by 100 of the road improvement associations, boards of trade and o her organizations and persons concerned in the subject of good roads, and held at Chicago during the dedication week of the Columbian Exposition in October, 1892. The officers of the league are: Pres ident, Charles F. Manderson, senator from Nebraska and president of the United States senate; general vice president and acting secretary, Roy Stone, of New York; treasurer, William H. Rhawn, of Philadelphia; executive committee, E. H. Thayer, of Iowa, Phillip D. Armour, of Chicago, Leland Stanford, of California, Clem Stude baker, of Indiana, Samuel W. Allerton, of Illinois, Chauncey B. Ripley, of New Jersey, Aug. T. Gillender and V. Seward Webb, of New York, Chas. L. Burdette, of Connecticut, and George Peabody We tin ore, of Rhode Island. The vice-presidents are Governor D. Russell Brown, of Rhode Isl and; Gov ernor A. J. Seay, OkIahoma;Governor L. B. Prince, New Mexico; Governor J. E. Richards, Montana; Governor R. K. Colcord, Nevada; Governor George W. Peck, Wisconsin; Governor Levi K. Fuller, Vermont; Governor William Northen, Georgia; Governor A. C. Mellette, South Dakota; Gov ernor Claude Matthews. Indiana; Gov ernor John T. Rich, Michigan; Gov ernor Tillman, South Carolina; N. H. Gwings, Washington; E. Von Baum bach, Minnesota; G. H. Latham, Cal ifornia; Gerard C. Brown, Pennsylva nia; W. L. Pinny, Arizona; Gustave Lurman, Maryland; George Lewis, Florida; A. Middleswart, Ohio; H. C. Wheeler, Iowa; George A. Perkins, Massachusetts; Richmond M. Pearson, North Carolina; O. A. Brown, Vir ginia; David H, Goodell, New Hamp shire. Treasurer William H. Rhawn, who has done so much for better roads, lives in Philadelphia, and is president of the National Bank of the Republic of that city and of the American Bank ers' Association, and chairman of the Better Roads society of Philadelphia. So many inquiries have been re ceived lately as to what the plans of the National League are that the offi cers have issued a pamphlet, in which they state the following as the purposes of the organization: First To combine as far as practi cable the efforts of all persons now en gaged in the work of road reform. Second To waken interest in the subject among the people at large. Third To receive, publish and dis cuss any well considered plans for local, state or national action or leg islation. Fourth To urge the passage by the House of Representatives of the senate's bill for a national highway commission of inquiry. Fifth To aid in providing for a proper road exhibit and for free in struction in road-making at the World's Fair in Chicago. Sixth To establish the league upon the broadest possible basis throughout the country, so that its influence may be of weight in any direction in which it may ultimately be thrown. The temporary management does not feel authorized to adopt any line of policy nor commit the league to any special scheme which might antag onize the partisans of other schemes, and thus defeat its immediate purpose to unite and solidify the movement. The national officers recommend that county leagues be formed as a step toward the spread of the organization into township and school districts. Although this will be a national asso ciation, in local matters the state, the count) and local leagues may act in dependently amd will receive the aid and support of the national organiza tion as far as is practicable and proper. State leagues have recently been formed in Vermont, Rhode Island and Maryland. The attitude of the press toward this movement may be judged from the remarks of the Atlanta Constitu tion ; "At Chicago, in October, a number of public spirited citizens formed a national league for good roads. But in order that a public sentiment may be formed it is necessary that there should be local ffljrnp. To facilitate thp movemnt and make it general the national league has issued a circular of instructions. Any four citizens of the same school or militia district will receive 011 application to the national league, which has it headquar ters in New York City, a charter and au thority to organize a local league. " It is aid to be the intention of the national league to issue a weekly news paper bofdre long, but this, it seems to us, would be an unnecessary expense, sine every intelligently edited weekly paper in the whole country, to say noth ing of the dailies, would gladly constitute itself the organ of this movement, which is as important to the people now as rail way development was forty years ago. The National League for Good Roads needs no special organ. It will find the press of the country anxious to aid it and to forward its objects. " Thosp who take a practical and seri ous interest in the matter of our public roads will be sooner or later forced to the conclusion that the people who have clustered into communities and formed commercial centres, either large orsmall, have a more vital interest in the improve ment of of our public highways than the rural population. The improvement will give each little farm settlement one or possibly two good roads to market, whereas it will give the markets them selves a dozen or more good roads over which their supplies cau be hauled at all seasons of Ihe year. "Several local leagues have been form ed in New York state, and we have no doubt they will continue to grow and spread until the movement is organized in every State where the necessity for improved roads has made itself felt." NOT AT ALL STRANGE. Atlanta Constitution. J Our esfeemed contemporary, The Wilmington Messenger, says: It is very remarkable that Lincoln, Farragut and Thomas should all have been Southern born. Lincoln was proba bly born in North Carolina, Farragut was born in Tennessee, once a part of North Carolina, and Thomas was born in Virginia. Lincoln is the Northern ideal man "the greatest man after Washing ton," they are fond of saying! Farragut was the greatest naval commander in the war against the South in the second war of independence Thomas ranks next to Grant among all soldiers in the Northern armies as to real military genius, and there are Northern writers who think him "first in war '' But be that as it way, the three were not Northern but Southern in their blood. These are interesting facts, but they are not "very remarkable." The birthplace is nothing; training and environment, everothing. These three Southern-born men early in life fell under Northern influences, and were practically Northern men. Even here in the South, where the struggle against fearful odds made our people cautious and suspicious, we made Northern-born men generals in the confederate army, and if any of them had shown commanding military genius the accident of birth would not have held them down. It the North has trusted southerners in her partisan councils, the South has trusted Northerners with equeal liberality. As we said before, training and environment are everything they make the man. George D. Prentice was so much like a typical Kentuckian that people very soon forgot his New England origin. Sargent S. Prentice was a Mississippian, though born in Maine. Albert Pike, another New Englander, was at his best in Arkan sas. Edgar Allan Poe, despite his Boston birth, had a tropical soul, and was Southron to the core. Examples might be multiplied, but they are unnecessary. Genius belongs to no clime. Geographical lines cannot hedge it. The world welcomes it whether it comes from polar snows or equatorial deserts. It is so in war, and it is so in peace. Northern men have their share of leadership in New Orleans; Southern men are at the front in New York. In this sensible country it is not strange to see a man go from one section to another and achieve success. Nor is it strange to see a man yielding to the influences of the section where he makes his home to such an extent that he is willing to work for it and fight for it. "Where a man's home is, there his heart is," the Germans say, and there is a good deal of truth in it. A Remarkable Literary An nouncement Doubtless the most surprising, and perhaps the most important, literary announcement ever made to American book-buyers is Alden's edition of the Encyclopedia Br'.tannica, for $ 20.00. It is the genuine, unabridged, cloth-bound work, in large type, including over 20, 500 pages and more than 10,000 illus trations, and 200 maps. The full set is now ready for delivery. And even this is not all : If you can't spare $20.00 at one time, by paying only $1.00 extra vou mav, through the Encyclopedia j Dritannica Co-operative Club, get the i work on instalment payments of only : five cent a day. Surely, these most ex 1 traordinary terms ought to place this greatest of V "cyclopedias (a library in itself means .-. nething when applied to it) in every home. You can get specimen pages, with full particulars, free, or a 128-page Catalogue of choice books in every epartment of literature, besides, for a 2-cent stamp, by addressing John B. Alken, Publisher, 57 Rose St., New York. Most of us excuse idleness and I shiftlessness to-day in thinking of the . great amouat of work we will to to morrow. Chanty does not require of us that we should not see the faults of others, hut that we should avoid all needless and voluntary observance ot them, and that we should not be blind to their good qualities when we are so sharpsighted to their bad ones.

By Mrs. Isa Bayler.J Mr. T. was a breeder. His name was a synonym for the choicest and best in his line. He was a man de voted to his family, indulging them in every want possible or practicable. He usually kept three, sometimes four, of his favorite breed for family cows, to supply the cream and butter needed. His wife wnt to Ohio on a visit, and while there became very much in fatuated with a Jersey cow, a pet of one of her sisters. Coming home, she importuned her husband to buy her a Jersey, but he told her he would be ashamed to let the neighbors see one on his place that it seemed to him a man was running down pretty low in stock when he kept a Jersey. "Why," said he, "I'd rather keep a goat, for that wouldn't look as if I were trying to keep a cow and were too poor to do so." But his wife (as he told it) "plagued the life out of him," want ing a Jersey; so one day at a sale some miles distant he bought, for a mere song, a poor little runty, ill-kept Jersey heifer said to be with calf. He started home with her, feeling more and more ashamed of his purchase the nearer he got home. Fearing to meet some of his bantering neighbors, he let down a rail fence at the lower end of his farm and drove the animal up through corn rows and by-lanes till he got into the back yard. Calling his wife, he said, "Mary, hsre is your Jersey, but for heaven's sake, when any one speaks of it, tell them it is yours and yours alone." "All right, John; I'll keep it in the yard with the children." All the fall the children and the heifer played together, she sharing their bread and butter, they using her for horse, dog, cow or anything their fancy suggested, and growing dearer to them each day. When winter came on the query was, where to keep her. One thing certain, she must be kept in some place where the children could care for her, so an old woodshed was fitted up, and "Bessie," and the children given possession. Christmas morning they went as usual to feed "Bessie," but immediately came rush ing back, breathless with excitement, fairly tumbling over each other to say, "O, mamma, papa! there's a little calf with "Bessie," a little calf, a little bit of a calf. Oh! come and see." A few weeks later a baby brother came to fill the cradle that had been empty for long months (ever since the angels had called its last frail occupant,) and as the days went by all hearts grew sick with the fear that the angels would soon bear little Roy away too. The white-haired family doctor, spying the Jersey in the yard one day, said to Mr. T., "Is that young cow giving milk ?" "Yes it has a calf; it belongs to Mary and the children." "Well, feed the baby on its milk. I have known some remark able cases of puny babies thriving on Jersey milk." So "little Bessie" had to share with Baby Roy, in whom im provement became marked from the first trial. June came. "Little Bessie" would now eat grass, and Roy was a great big fellow, tipping the scales at twenty pounds. Mrs. T. commenced sating some of Bessie's milk to try the quality, not saying anything about it to Mr. T. One morning at breakfast he re marked, "It seems to me, Mary, your coffee is a deal better than formerly. Of what firm are you buying coffee now?" "The same one," replied Mrs. T. but she smiled. Strawberries came. Mr. T. said one day at dinner, "It seems to me berries and cream never did taste as good as they do this year." Mary only smiled. Harvest came on; the harvesters remarked on the excellent quality ot the butter. "Yes!" said Mr. T., "I have a strain of animals that are extra butter cows." "But, John, I haven't made any butter for a month past except from "Bessie's" milk." "Why! how is that?" "Well, the man brought in such a small quantity of milk, and it seemed so thin beside B:ssie's, I have been giving that to the calf and saving hers to use, and that is why your coffee and berries have been tasting so much better," she triumphantly added. "Well! well!" began Mr. T., then tie was silent. A few days later a neighbor called to him as he was reading on the front porch; "Say, John, I wonder if your folks could help us out with some butter? Got harvesters, too busy to go to town, and wife says she must have some butter." "I am sorry, Friend B-, that we can not. My wife is only making a little butter now from that little Jersey there." Mary, passing through the hall, heard the conversation, and, stepping to the door, said: "I think I can ac commodate you, Mr. B., I have some I can spare." "I'll be very glad indeed if you can. How much can you let me have?" "Three pounds, if you want that much; that is just what I churned this morning. I have about one and one half pounds on hand, and will churn again day after to-morow, so I can help you out all through your harvest ii you like, as we have finished ours." When the neighbor had gone, Mr. T. took his wife to task. "Mary, you don't mean I should believe you are making that much butter from 'Bessie alone?" "Yes, John, from Bessie' alone. I am making about seven pounds of butter a week, besides our cream for coffee and berries, and Roy has bis portion." " " "Why, what are you feeding her?" "Oh! she picks around in the or chard, the children give her some chicken-feed night and morning, and she eats the oatmeal and scraps of bread left after each meal." "Well," said Mr. T. in conclusion, "I thought all that day; I went to bed thinking; got up next morning still thinking. I went out and took a full look at 'Bessie and, my friend, I want to tell you I felt like it, and I did take off my hat and made a most humble bow to that mild-eyed speci men of the bovine race. Ever since then the Jersey stays with me for a family cow, and when I drive another one home it will be proudly done and on the broad, open highway." GOLDEN LEAFLETS. Grains of Wisdom Gleaned Hers and There from Various Sources. Fear is the child of wrong doing. A starving man won't find fault with the table cloth. You cannot buy a man honest if it is against his nature. A successful hypocrite is never a success at anything else. The villain likes to be called by names that sound respectable. As soon as a sin begins to pay it seems to become better looking. Some men tire themselves almost to death looking for an easy place. Some women seem to think that having a grievance adds to their at tractiveness. Don't look for much growth in grace long as you keep your hands in your pockets. There are reformers who never think it worth while to work at their trade on themselves. If we had no troubles but real troubles there wouldn't be a round shouldered man in this world. It takes a strong man to hold his own thoughts so much in subjection that they will not worry him. We are born to be sociable to one another; therefore either reform the world, or bear with it. True culture has been compactly defined as learning one's relative position and importance in the world. The world would have less cranks if children were taught the difference be tween sentiment and principle. All censure of others is oblique praise of self. It is uttered in order to show the superiority of the speaker. It has all invidiousness of self praise, and all the ill desert of a falsehood. The talent of turning men into ridi cule and exposing to laughter those one converses with is the qualification of little minds and ungenerous tem pers. A young man with this cast of mind cuts himself off from all manner of improvements. The noblest characters are those who have steered the life-vessel through stormiest seas.

Piety and true morality are but the same spirit differently manifested. Piety is religion with its face toward God; morality is religion with its face toward the world. Edwards.

His grand father was born in Ire land and his grand mother in Scot land, and to his Scotch-Irish descent may well be attributed much of fine and versatile talent. To his excellent preparation in the lower schools he added a fine training at the State University. For three years Mr. Henry was a student of medicine but finally turned his attention to the study of the law. In 1SS0 he was licensed by the Supreme Court of North Carolina to practice law and his course has been one of marked progress and distinction ever since. He was for a time associated in the prac tice of the low with the late Governor Fowle. Mr. Henry was the leading coun sel in the celebrated case of Cross and White in the Superior Court in Wake county, and it is still fresh in the minds of the people of North Carolina how skillfully he managed the case. He carried it from the Superior to the Supreme Court of the State and thence to the Supreme Court of the United States and when he argued the case in person before that great tribunal one of the ablest and most profound constitutional lawyers of the nation said that his argument would have done credit to any lawyer in America. His argument was highly compli mented by the press of the country; and he had won this distinction as an able and learned lawyer when he was little past his thirtieth birth day. He now enjoys the distinguished honor of being one of the few lawyers of the State who are members of the Supreme Court bar of the United States, and he is perhaps the youngest member of that bar in America. But it is his service to the Demo cratic party as an able and faithful and fearless defender of its principles that chiefly entitles Mr. Henry to claims upon the administration. His great learning, versatile talents and matchless eloquence have been felt in every political campaign in North Carolina for the last twelve years. His voice has pronounced with no uncer tain sound the stupendous frauds and unblushing iniquities of the Republican party during its whole record through the days ot reconstruction and the stretch of a quarter of a century that has followed. But perhaps indeed, certainly Mr. Henry's greatest work was done in the late campaign; and much of the glory of the sweeping victory which the Democratic party in North Caro lina gained over the combined forces of the Republican and Third parties is due to Mr. Henry's able canvass. In almost every county in the State, certainly from the Blue Ridge to the sea-shore, he preached with telling effect the doctrines of democracy. And his arguments against tariff iniquity were the strongest that have ever been heard in North Carolina. Where he spoke the press and the people were loud in their praises of his great speeches; and it was often he rivalled in his burning his distinguished kinsman, said that eloquence the great Patrick Henry of Virginia. On the 6th of September he de livered here in Scotland Neck the greatest speech that the writer had ever heard; and such was the enthu siasm which it created that Mr. Henry was invited by the Democratic Club of Scotland Neck to repeat the same speech, and he returned on the 29th ot October following and spoke to a vast throng, said to have been the largest audience that greeted any speaker in the State during the whole campaign except the audience that greeted Hon. A. E. Stevenson at Winston. Mr. Henry was accorded an ovation here of which any man in the country might well be proud, and his being asked to repeat his speech at the same place was unprecedented in political cam paigns in North Carolina. A scholar of marked attainments, a lawyer of unquestioned ability; one of the finest orators in the country; a man of untarnished character; a patriot of purest type; a statesman of growing power; a Hercules tor Demo cracy; ana a favorite son ot the "Old North State," Mr. Henry merits rec ognition at the hands of the adminis tration. And every true North Caro linian, of whatever party or opinion, ' '1 feel honor.d by his appointment t the jositnn which he seeks.
