This, as we have elect from Massachusetts, as the House said, evinces great magnanimity in the su esmen, and we cannot fail to ap- plaud them in their noble course. ! While indeed it has required some elilrt to discover any good reason for this generosity, yet we think we have finally struck it. Knowing full well tbat dogs ars death to the wool indus- try, and wishing the cotton crop, so , ceived in duplicate by mail and mes wonderfully lucrative, to flourish alone senger; there was the solemn proces- and have no competition in wool, they decided with alacrity to let a crop of dogs flourish, and thus relegate wool to the rear.

They were calkd at great sacrifice of personal comfort, time and professional duties to hold aloft the Cleveland colors on every stump, and they heeded the call. No two men ever made more reputa tion in the same length of time, and certainly no two ever made abler or stronger presentation of the gospel of Democracy. We have won, and it is largely due to the brilliant campaign they made. It is that Mr. Aycock wov.ld like to be United States Dis trict Attorney for Eastern North Car olina, and Mr. Glenn desires the same position for Western North Carolina. There are other deserving men and there are other plums. But no two men are so conspicuously entitled to receive the recognition of their ambitions as Mr. Aycock and Mr. Glenn.

CLETE AND STIVE. THEY'RE ELECTED SURE. FOR The Vote Officially Convassed by the Joint Meeting: of the Senators and Congressmen in the House of Rep resentatives Vice-President Mor ton Chief Officiator in These Formal Ceremonies. Washington, D. C, Feb. 8. Im mense crowds were drawn to the cap- itol to-day by the merely formal cer emonies incident to the official count ing of the electoral vote. The bright sunshine and the tonic-bracing breezes which marked the day were boldly claimed as " Cleveland weather," and were sharply contrasted with the dis mal atmospheric surroundings which have so unfortunately accompanied nearly every one of Harrison's public appearances, commencing with the tellers. The actual ceremonies were nearly the same to-day as four years ago, with a slight difference in the personnel. There was the ceremonious opening of the safe in the Vice-Presi- dent s room and the taking out of the 88 sealed packages supposed to repre- sent the votes of the 44 states as re sion in the "goose step" of old Capt. Bassett who has participated in every presidential count for more than sixty years, escorted by a squad of capital police to prevent a raid being made upon the precious locked boxes con- taining the votes. The boxes having been safely de- posited in the House, the Senate in a body followed shortly before 1 o clock. ine memoers 01 tne upper cnamoer were of course received by the House with becoming respect. The Vice-President ascended the Speaker's platform and took1 his seat at the right hand of Speaker Crisp, the senators ranging themselves in the places assigned to them on the right of the hall and the Speaker sitting at the left hand of the Vice-President; and in this manner the court proceeded in the presence of densely packed gal leries and a crowded floor. Following the precedents observed upon former occasions, unless a de- mand was made that the certificates ' be reported in full, the tellers, having ! ascertained that the certificates were in due form and properly authenti cated, omitted the executive certificate of ascertainment of the electors ap pointed and the preliminary statement of the proceedings of the electoral col lege and proceeded rapidly with the reading and ascertainment of the re sult. The Vice-President having called the joint assemblage to order, pro ceeded formally to open one of the boxes in which were contained the re turns of the electors of various States. The first return was that of Alabama which he handed to Senator Hale, one of the tellers, who in a low but distinct voice read the statement showing that the eleven voles ot that State had been cast for Cleveland and Stevenson. The certificates were presented without for mal reading, the tellers merely stating the result. The following is a summary of the result as spread upon the minutes of both houses Alabama Cleveland and Stevenson, 11 ArkansasCleveland and Stevenson, 8 California Cleveland and Stevenson, 8 California Harrison and Reid, 1 Colorado Weaver and Field, 4 Connecticut Cleveland and Stevenson, G Delaware Cleveland and Stevenson, 3 Florida Cleveland and htevennon, Georgia Cleveland and Stevensou, Idaho Weaver and Field, Illinois Cleveland and Stevenson, Indiana Cleveland and Stevenson, Iowa Harrison and Reid, i;j , 3 24 j IS j in Kansas Weaver and I leld, Kentuckv Cleveland and Stevenson. 13 Louisiana Cleveland and Stevenson, 8 Maine Harrison and Reid, Q Maryland Cleveland and Stevenson, 8 Massachusetts Harrison and Reid, 15 Michigan Cleveland and Stevenson, 5 Micbigan-"Harrison and Reid, 0 Minnesota Harrison and Reid, 9 Mississippi Cleveland and Stevenson, 9 Missouri Cleveland and Stevenson, 17 Montana Harrison and Reid, 3 Nebraska Harrison and Reid, 8 Nevada Weaver and Field, 3 New Hampshire Harrison and Reid, 4 New Jersey Cleveland and Stevenson, 10 New York Cleveland and Stevenson, 36 N.

Then a few of the spectators broke into applause, which was promptly checkd by the Vice President, who, in a few dignified words, called upon the spectators not to disturb the decorum which ought to characterize the great national transaction which was now proceeding in the presence of the American peo ple. Alter the last certificate had been read and the results footed up, the Vice-President made the customary announcement that under the law this was a sufficient declaration that Grover Cleveland, of the state of New York, was elected President of the United States, and that Adlai E. Steven son, of the State of Illinois, was elected Vice-President of the United States, each for the term begin ning March 4th, 1893, and this result will be entered, together with the list of voters on the journals of the Senate and House of Representatives. The joint session was declared dis solved. The Senate withdrew and each House resumed business in its own chamber. WHEN TO PLANT CROPS IN 1893. What a Weather Prognosticator has to Say About it. Sow oats from 10th of Feb. to 25th, of March. Plant corn from the 25th of March until the 10th of April then stop until the 25th of May ; then plant until the 10th of June provided there is frost or ice the 24th morning of Feb. If no frost the 24th of Feb., defer corn planting until the 20th of April, then plant until the 10th of May : then stop until the 20th of May, then plant until the 10th of June as above.

"Tarboro Southerner. J The turkey profit on tobacco in this county is not inconsiderable. Nearly every tobacco planter raises tuakeys to worm his tobacco. It is admitted that the worming these fowls do fully pays for all the food and attention in rais ing. When the tobacco season is over and Thanksgiving and Christmas ar rive these men have scores of turkeys to sell at good prices. I have in my mind a man who had 20 acres in to bacco and 126 turkeys, young and old Reserving 26 for breeding purposes he has sold 100 and has not less than $75 more than he would have had it he had no tobacco. This man is not by himself by any means. The American's Toast. Benjamin Franklin was dining with a small party of gentlemen when one of them said : "Here are three nationalities rep resented : I am French, tny friend here is English, and Mr. Franklin is American. Let each propose a toast : The Englishman rose and in the tone of a Briton bold, said : " Here's to Great Britain, the sun that gives light to the nations of the earth." The Frenchman was rather taken back at this, but he proposed : " Here's to France, the moon whose magic rays move the tides of the world." Franklin then rose and with an air of quiet modesty, said : " Here's to George Washington, Joshua of Amer ica, who commanded the sun and moon to stand still and they stood still." Does Farming Pay?

A FEW WORDS ABOUT HER. Too Much Cannot be Said in Praise of this Useful Animal, Although "She Speaks for Her self' The Second of the Se ries of Prize Essays Written for the American Jersey Cattle Club. BY MISS ANNE C. M. BOYD. The American people appreciate hne cattle perhaps more than any . - t 1 . oiner nation, ana are always giaa to reaa aoout tnem, even tnougn u oe a few short words. We come naturally by this fondness, for are we not a mix ture of other nations, and have not other nations revered and even wor shiped cattle? Long before our day ancient writers recognized cattle as a noble race. Has not Homer often likened his heroes to them? In the Psalms we find them sooken of as an esuecial blessing of God. Solomon caused twelve brazen oxen to be placed in the temple, three facing each of the four cardinal points On their backs they supported a great brazen laver or sea. Now, Solomon is generally believed to have been the wisest man who ever lived. Perhaps he intended to foretell that cattle would become a support in the four quarters of the earth, as they are to day. Even in infant America they support the greatest industry of the country, and over two thousand mil lion dollars are invested in the dairy business. Here we touch very closely on the Jersey, for she, above all others, is the greatest butter-producer. It is to the Jersey and what she has done for us that I wish to call your attention. Any one can see that there is profit in the Jersey ; on the same amount of food she will produce more butter than any other cow. Knowing this, it seems strange that dairymen should wish to keep any other breed. Au thentically we can trace them only to the Island of Jersey. There are many theories as to what crosses produced them, but no one has yet satisfactorily solved the problem. The sacred cattle of India, strange as it may seem, closely resemble the Jersey in many particulars. How much better would it be if the modern farmer could be made to believe that from the Indians' blind reverence for cattle he might learn a lesson of forbearance and gen tleness toward his herd. What more delightful home could these famous cows have than the green and fertile pastures of the Jersey Island ? The Jersey cow seems to tell us by her gentle and satisfied expres sion that she has come from a land where the climate is mild and equable, and where the first object of the peo ple is to make her comfortable and contented. It is astonishing how much the Jersey has improved during the last fifty years. They were once ill shaped beasts, which knew nothing of warm stables or good, food but the people ot Jersey had their ideal, and by careful attention and hard work they brought their imperfect materials up to the standard Jersey of to-day The race improved so rapidly that the scale of points was revised three times during ten years. In 18 so some Americans of influence became inter ested in the Jerseys and began to make importations, which have been almost constant ever since. This American interest gave a new stimu ius to the jerseymen, and a great increase of caitle has been the result. The American Jersey Cattle Club has advanced the Jersey interest very much by keeping the records and by organizing the official test, by which the Jersey has been seen to surprise her most ardent admirers. A Jersey cow is known to have produced forty-six pounds twelve and a half ounces of butter in seven days. I might enumerate many extraor dinary cases, but doubtless they are all well known to my readers. The Jersey of to-day is the most beautiful of cows. We find in her a variety of colors and shadings ; a frame of such delicacy and fineness that even a novice could not help being attracted by her symmetry. In size, the Jersey is rather smaller than other breeds, but in America there is a tendency to cultivate an increase. You seldom find a fat Jersey, for she is by nature a dairy cow. She assimilates her food in such a manner as to put her fat into her milk, instead of on her bones. It is often said that the deep orange lining of her ears is a positive sign that the animal can give to her butter that beautiful golden tint without the aid of butter-coloring. When fed on grass the Jersey imparts that golden tint to her butter to such a degree that it is unsurpassed by any other cow. Too much cannot be said in praise of these valuable little cows, but, like all really good things, she speaks for herself. Whoever has the good for- tune to own even one of them will say after reading my few words of praise, e 1 r Ha 1 ha I I knew it all before." Hawaii is 2,060 miles southwest of San Francisco, in the same latitude as Cuba. It is the largest of the Sandwich Islands, there being seven smaller islands in the group. It has two great volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. The admission of these would enable us to have eruptions without taking the smallpox. GOLDEN LEAFLETS.

PROP. HUXLEY ON SMOKING. At a debate upon " smoking" among the members of the British Association, many speakers denounced and others advocated the practice. Prof. Huxley said : " For forty years of ray life tobacco has been a deadly poison to me. In my youth as a medical student, I tried to smoke. In vain ' at every fresh attempt my insidious foe stretched me prostrate upon the floor. I entered the navy; again I tried to smoke, and again met with a defeat. I hated to bacco; I could almost have lent my support to any institution that had for its object the putting of tobacco smokers to death. A few years ago I was :n Brittany with some friends. We went to an inn. They began to smoke. They looked very happy, and outside it was very wet and dismal. I thought I would try a cigar. I did so. I smoked that cigar it was delicious ! From that moment I was a changed roan ; and I now feel that smoking in mod eration is a comfortable and laudable practice, and is productive of good. There is no more danger in a pipe than there is in a cup of tea. You may poison yourself by drinking too much green tea, and kill yourself by eating to many beefsteaks. For ray own part, I consider that tobacco in moderation is a sweetener and equalizer of the temper.

There Should be no Alliance; While the Church is the Bui-' wark of the Nation Govern-, mental Patronage Would Tend I to Diminish Its Usefulness The; Pulpit Must Not be Muz- zled. j Philadelphia, Feb. 7. The Ca tholic hierarchy of the United States 1 was represented at the annual dinner' of the Catholic club last evenaig by iis most distinguished prelates. There ; were Dresent as the irueis of the cluli 1 c o Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Cur rigan, Archbishop Ryan, Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic university at Washington, and William F. Har- rity, chairman of the Democratic national committee. The dinner was held in the art gal lery of the Art club, and about 200 gentlemen, prominent in the business and social life of the city, were present. Colonel John I. Rogers, preseident of the club, presided. Be hind the distinguished guests was hung a large piece of tapestry embroidered with the arms of the Papal See, sur mounted by the national colors, and the sides ot the room were hung with the yellow and white colors of the Papal state, and the colors of the United States. After a few brief re marks Colonel Rogers gave the first toast of the evening. "Church and State," and Cardinal Gibbons arose to respond. He was greeted with applause and was frequently compelled to - stop during his speech by the plaudits of his auditors. His eminence said in part : "I am firmly persuaded, both by study and observation, that the church is more sturdy in her growth and more prosperous in her career when she is free to pursue her divine inisson without any interference on the part of the State. Here, thank God, the church is free, and therefore she is prosperous. Here the church and the state run in parallel lines, each assist ing the other, and neither of them unwarrantably intruding on the domain of the other. Here the con stitution holds over the church the protecting arm, without interfering in ecclesiastical affairs. we nave no state religion or official church in the United States. But it will be a great mistake to draw as an inference from this fact that therefore our government is anti Christain or anti-religious. I venture to say, on the contrary, that there is no commonwealth under the the sun more permeated by Christian and religious principles than the govern ment of the United States. Here the Christain Sabbath is observed as a day of rest as well as in any country of the civilized world. On that day the courts of justice are closed and give place to the courts of our Lord, which are opened in every town and hamlet in the land. The members of our national and state legislatures open their daily proceedings by invoking the Father of Light on their delilera tions. We celebrate our annual Thanksgiving Day, in which we pour out our graiitude to the Giver of every good gift for the temporal blessings vouchsafed to us as a nation. "But if the state protects the church the church is the strongest bulwark and safeguard of the commonwealth in the exercise of her earthly mis sion, it will be the delight as well as the duty of the ministers of Christ in the future, as it has been in the past, to uphold our civil and political institutions. It will be our delight to proclaim the moral law, which is the basis of all good government, and to foster domestic peace and public tranquillity and social order throughout the land. "For my part I believe the relation between church and state are as close and cordial as we should desire. All we ask is a fair field and no special favor. I do not wish to see the day when the state will be called on to build our churches and sulsidize our clergy, for as soon as the government commenced to support our church it would dictate to us what doctrines we ought to preach and ought not to preach.
