BURNING WATER;
OR
WHAT CAME OF EARL'S EXPERIENCE.
CHILDREN'S STORY.
"Rats ! What are you giving usf '
was the rather irreverent reply of
Byran, as he Btared at Earl in much
the same way that he would if the
latter bad proposed to jump np and
pull the whiskers of the old man in
the moon.
"But I can," persisted Earl,
somewhat nettled by Byron's con
temptuous reply ; "and what's more,
X'll do it light hero and now, in this!
very room, and before your own
eyes. Sic right down there;1' and
he placed a chair about six feet iu
trnnt of the table, on which was the
saucer containing the keioacne.
Bryan took the eat, still stoutly
protesting: "Tout water wouldn't
burn nohow, and nobody could stufl
such nonsense as that down him.''
Earl paid no attention whatever
to Byrou's remarks ; but begau at
once to make rather elaborate pre
parations for his mysterious per
formance: First he glanced around
the room until his eyes caught sight
of the saucer on the table. He aps
peared quite surprised to find it
there, and, going up to it, exclaimed
eagerly, as he examined it carefully :
"That's the very thing. I'll pour
the water in here, right before your
eyes. Now watch close,'' he con
tinued, glancing &harply toward
Byron, "and see that I do every
thing fair and above board-'' lie
went to the water-pail, which stood
on a berch a short distance from
the table, and filled the dipper faL
of water. After taking adriuk him
self, he iuvited Byron to come for
ward and taste, if be bad any doubts
as to what the dipper contained.
Byron, who was quite satisfied by
tbis time, expressed himself as very
certain that the dipper held nothing
but water. Erl now walked back
to thft table and very carefully
poured just a little of the water into
the saucer; at the same time re
questing Byron to look close, and
ije that it was water, which went
into the disb.
Of course Byron knew uothiug of
the kerosene already there, and
which at once, as oil always will,
arose to the top, wbile the water
sought the bottom.
"Byron,'' Earl said in hia most
solemn and meapured tones, as he
8t the dipper down, and stood up
very erect behind the table,with tbp
now almost overflowing saucer in
ffout of him, uyou saw me pour wa
ter right into this disb, did yon
not r
''Yes' replied Bron, very much
mystided and somewhat frightened
by Earl's strange doiugs.
' Now,'' coutiijud the migVtj' ma
gician pro tempore, "if I drJp a light
ed match into this atcer, and its
contents take fire piid burn bright
ly, I have done What you, Byron
Ormen, eaid I could not do burnt
water, have I not 1''
"Y-e-p," again replied Byron
rather faintly, while over his face
crept a look of awe and doubt, as be
added; "But you can't do it, can
you ?''
Earl delighted to give him no re
ply; but deliberately lighted a
match, held it up higb in his rigbF
hand until it burned out brightly,
and then, as he mumbled over some
mysterious sound'ng words, let it
fall gently into the saucer.
Never was magician more sue
cessful 1
The instant the match touched
the oil a blaze- two feet high leaped
up in front of Earl. The astonished
boy, never dreaming that hia expe
riment would prove such a brilliant
success, sprang back, almost as
much frightened as Byron himself,
who stood staring at the flames with
gaping mouth and wide, opened
eyes, too much amazed even to
speak.
In a moment the water under
neath began to boil, and pushed
the burning fluid over the sides of
the saucer. Out upon the table and
down upon the floor, rau the liquid
Are, Then, before either of the
boj3 could lift a hand, the table and
the floor around it were a mass of
flame.
Byron was so frightened that he
could do nothing but jump up and
down aud halloo : uOh ! Oh! we'll
be burnt up I We'll bo burnt up!''
At the awful Bight of the climb
ioz flames, Earl'n heart seemed to
spring up into his throat, and there
atop, still, while his body became so
weak that he ould hardly stand.
It was at this moment that a cry
trom little Katie, who had been
awakened by the noise, reached his
ears. Earl loved his little sister
dearly, aud tho thought that unless
something was done at once she
would be burned alive, almost made
him wild.
Ilaidly knowing what, he did, he
rushed into the room wheiehhe wap,
and, grabbing her up from off tie
bed, ran with her out doors.
Byron followed him, still dancing
up aud down, aud hallooing : "Fire!
tire ! tire !M
By this time Earl began to iealiz'
what a terrible thing it wou'd be to
have the house, their only home
burned dowu. Tbey wera too poor
to build another ; and everythiug
tbey had, except the garments ou
their backs, would be destroyed by
the fire. Kis excited imagination
saw his frail mother and tender sis
ter almost without clothes, without
shelter, without food and without
money, wandering from house to
t ouse, dependent upon cold charity,
ail because ot his foolish trick.
Stung almost to madness by these
thoughts, he determined to rush
back into the house and put the fire
out or perish in the flames. Thrust
ing the crying child into Byron's
trembling arm?, he bade him, in a j
voice the frightened boy could bard
ly recognize, so harsh and strange
it sounded : "Take Baby Katy to
her mother and then, with pale,
set face, dashed back into the burn
ing buildiug.
All this happened in a very few
moments ; tor in times of intense
excitement the mind thinks and the
body acts with the quickness of
lightning.
Byron waited only long enough to
see Earl vanish in the smoke, which
was now pouring through the open
door of the old house. Baby Kate
had kicked and screamed so lustily,
(he moment Earl had turned away?
that he had been obliged to lace
heron the ground, at a sate distance
from the fire, aud run for Mrs. lreil
without her. How bis legs flew over
the ground, and hov: his frightened
voice rang out in the thrilliuj; cry of
'Fire ! fire ! fire !'
His mother and Mrs. Ireil heard
him long before be reached ihe
house. Both women sprang to their
fret, while over the lace of Mrs.
Ireil swept an ashy paleuess. With
out pausing au iustaut, she darted
though the door and down the road
toward the hoaoe. She was almosi
frantic; for she could now see the
smoke ris ng above ber owu house.
The moment ehe met Byron, she
caught hold of him, and inquired
wildly : "Where is Earl Where
is Katie ? What has happened 1"
"Ob, he'll be burnt up! He'll be
burnt up ! Hurry I Quick !'' was all
she could get out of the terrified
boy.
"Burnt up, her brave boy ; her
darling baby f No, God could not
be so cruel." "Oh God ! give me
strength and time to save my dear
children," was the prayer of her
mother-heart. Her feet seemed
winged as they flew toward the
burning building. She was the first
to reach to the house, aud, without
a moment's hesitation, sprang
through the door out ot which the
amoke still contmaed to poor.
The table was a charred ruin, and
a great hole had been burnt out of
the floor in trout ot it ; but the fire
was out. With face and hands
black with smoke, aud clothes
scorcbed and burnt, Earl stood, with
the broom poised in his right hand,
while the water-pail by bis side told
to what good purpose the article
had been put, staring, like one gone
daft, at the black hole in the floor.
And well he might state ; for tberei
in a little hollow, chiseled out of one
of the large logs which formed the
suppol t of the floor, lay Miser John's
gold in a great pile of gleaming yel
low coins.
Mrs. Ireil sprang forward when
she caught sight of her boy, with
the glad cry of: "Ob, Eil, thank
God that you are safe ;'' and not
withstanding his soiled clothes and
begrimed face, drew him to her bos
om aud kissed him again and agaiu
;Oh mother !'' sobbed the penitent
boy, "I did not mean to do it. 1
just wanted to astonish Byron.
But," as the thought of the treasure
came into his head, "I've found Mi
ser John's gold, aud you'll forgive
me, won't you, mother ?''
But Mrs. Ireil could not stop even
to consider gold, until she wa as
sured of the safety of a treasure far
more precious to her than any Miser
John ever hoarded Bihy Kate.
"Wheie is Katie?" she asked, a shn
glanced with a startled look around
the room.
Before Earl could answer, tbe
voice of Baby Kate herselt was
heard cring petulantly : "I don't
want you ; I wants my ma, my own
pretty mamma;" aud Mrs. Ormen,
pale-friced and trembling, placed
the weeping child in her mothet's
arms.
Not until sle had hugged and
kissed her little darling more times
than I can tell you of, did Mrs.
Ireil's eyes turn toward the giitter
iug hoard within the log. Then,
lifting her flushed face to tbe people
who by this time were beginning to
crowd into the house, she thanked
them as composedly as possible, for
the kind iuterest which their press
ence maniftsted and the help,which
she was sure tbey would have been
willing to have rendered had uot
tbe bravery of her boy made their
assistance unnecessary. "But now,''
she said, "I wish to be alone with
my children.5'
The moment the last oue of her
kind neighbors had gone, a.id the
door was shut, and the wiJdowtcur.
tains were down, Mrs. Jteil and Earl
very carefully gathered up the gold,
and with happy, thankful hearts
began to count over the rich treas
ure. It was past midnight before
the pleasant task was finished.
When Mrs. Ireil announced that
the sum total was just 5,000, Earl
spiang to his feet, and with a loud
hurrah declared Miser Johu a
"trump.'
"Earl," Mrs. Ireil said reproving
lv, "let us think as kindly as possi
ble of tbe poor old man, who, year
after year, toiled like a slave, starv
ing both body and soul, that, in the
providence of God, tbe widow aud
the fatherless might, in their time
of need, be provided for. It may b
that he is more deserving of our
pity tbau our censure. G-d alone
knows upon what rocks his soul was
wrecked.''
Earl, notwithstanding its fortu
nate termination, never repeated
this experiment. And even to the
present day, when telling bis young
friends of how be discovered Miser
John's gold, he will always close
with tbis admonition : "Bovs never
attempt to show off you smartness
by performing tricks you have not
sense enough to understand, aud
never do such a foolish, dangerous
thing aa to. try tc bum water aud
kerosene. That is,'' he will add
after a short pause, and with a
merry twinkle in his eyes, "unless
you can do as I did, and make your
folly reveal the hiding-place of some
Miser Jonh's golden god.'7

While thanking you for the honor
of calling me to respond to this
toast, permit me to say that you as
sign me a very difficult task. The
very fact that I am to speak of the
industrial developments of New
Berne a city old in its history, its
intelligence and culture, and its po litical
fame, but comparatively new
in its material growth and progress,
signifies that I am to deal in cold,
dispassionate figures, and not in
H ere t-eutiment and it eiin;
Aud
it may be that many of our owu
citizens, j igging along the biaten
pathway of their daily life, igi-.o
rant of the immense resouices ot
tuis section, so long left unsupplied
by tbe wealtn aud energy of mod
ern timet'. We hope that the intel
ligent men of the Pieis particularly
will inform themselves on this sub
ject. We are satisfied that our
trucking fitlds, with their beautiful
carpets of green, are a marvel of
productiveness. Why., gentlemen,
do you know that during the year
1S92 we shipped 234.000 packages
ot peas, cabbage, potatoes and.oth
er truck over our railroal' and
steamers hues, fully S0,O0O of thtse
packages being potatoes ? Aud that,
io the diversification ci crops, ag
gregating, iu a goad year, from
200 to 8300 t Ihe acre. Aud
while miles away from New Berne
the lands have been bougbt up and
still there are thousands of acres of
good, fertile soil, bathed by the
dews and showers of the best clis
mate iu the world, awaiting th- cap
ital, euergy and 6kill of the indus
trious trucker. Aud ucb 13 tbe
wonderful character ot this enter
prise, that great as it is now, every
yearseerHS to add to its marvelous
development in dollars and cents.
And then look at the almost mir
aculous exhibit of our fishing inter,
est. One would think tbat the
lamp of Aladdin had been suspen
ded over our waters from the ro
mantic coves and inlets abound
Morebead to the winding recesses
of tbe Treat. During the last year
G2.000 packages of eatable fih, con
sisting of 70 varieties, were shipped
from New Berne and Morebead,
packed in ice, and receiving trans
portation to all secttous of the coun
try. Fully 2,000 persons were em.
ployed at remunerative wages to
prepare for and handle those ship
ments. It became neccessary, to
meet the demauds of tois industry,
to establish au ice factory, funning
ou full time, and turning out 20
tons of fee per day. Besides, there
was au annual importation from the
North of 2,000 tons of ice, aud a
levy upou tbe natural supply at our
doors in our doors in our frozen
creeks aud rivers. Toe fishing iu
dustiy at Morebead, with its luvet
mem of a $100,000- is, iu a lare
measure, a separate consideration
in making up tbis wonderful esti
mate of au industry which only a
few years ago a few years fcgo was
confined to a lew scattered and
helpless fishermen, who possessed
neither apparatus nor capital to
accomplish such astouitshiug results.
Not the least of the expaitsive eu
tei prises which in tbe last tew years
have given such impetus to tbis sec
tion is the lumber mills, which
through out Neuse and Pamlico
sections have made such a radical
change in the appearance of
the county and the coudition
cf the people. And whatev
er may be said of the utility and
wisdom of cutting do wn cur treea
aud sacrificing our forests, as a
mere question of commercirl devel
opment this judu:dry ha3 grown to
a gigantic propotion, vat acres of
laud in the vicinijy of New Beine
has been occupied by thee ener
getic lumbers companies. Iu the
City and within sight of ir steeples
twelve steam uaw Tild; are now
running, whose out put of dressed
and undressed lumber io mx mil
lion feet per year. .Many of those
miih are cf huge capacity. They
have urjif;g kilns ai;d plaining
mills attached to them, and used
all tbe latest mechauirle im;;!Ove
ments. It is estimated, aod adding
th numerous saws mills a little din
tance from New Berne, over one
hundred million feet of lumber are
shipped as the outcome of this in
dustry, embracing aM sort of lum
ber peculiar to our coi', taking tlu

cus-iiou, I'migbr go on to s-cak of

la small scale, bids fair to increase
and develope, bringing profits to
its projectors aud prosperity to the

sYlliunce diarlei Legislation.
To the Edi'or of The Greensboro Argus,
A few days ago I sent you for
publication 60'De resolutions passed
by tbe Alliance of Wayne county
at its last meeting, and I have
thought it proper to explain public
ly my connection with said re-obi-tions
I am now county secretary
of tbe alliance, and as secretary, I
turni-hed tbe resolutions for publi
cation.
Tbey do not uv-et my wdividua'
! approval. A large majority of those
advocating the resolutions care no
thing for tbe "beloved ordei" ex
oeptiug so far as it will tear down
and destroy tbe I)emocfatic pary
ai.d will Mi3tairi and upbuild :he
Third Party and the resolution an
engt-ndered i" Third partv spin:
at;d promulgated fr Tiiird patty
efl'ee-t.
What is tbe fuss about, and what's
the caus'i ot cnticit-m of the Legis
lature? It is tha' the Alliance
charter has been to amended tha?
now there is no persona! liability
upon any member, that ny one
who bas put his money iu tbe busi
ness agency fund shall have the
rieht to withdraw it, and the trus
tee of tbe fund refuses to pay, that
the Attorney General shall bring an
action which will enforce payment
and that the salaries of officera shall
not be increased beyond those fur
nished iu the constitution of the or.
der. " These are tho amendments,
tbeie was cause for each. As to all
except the hsf, I ask President
Butler if be did not state in Raleigh
'that they were proper, and ought
to be made
The limitation upon the salaries
of officers was in the interet-t of the
, aimers, who Lave their moue iu
the fund, and it cannot be objected
to, except by someone whose eye
has been upon the fuud, aud whot
by the amendment, is prevented
from enjoying it.
A great many of the lecturers of
the Alliance iu North Carolina last
year were Third party candidates.
And still they were paid out of the
Alliance fund S4.3G4.18. And if I
am not very much mistaken Mr.
Graham was called upou for $1,200
to help pay that and other expen-
ses os the State meeting.
At the last meeting it was seen
that the funds on hand were insuf
ficient to pay delegates the amount
allowed them by tbe constitution
And the committee recommended
a reduction. President. Butler
ruled that tins reduction apply to
that meriting as well as future meet
tings, aud delegates who had left
li.isnr undi-rsiaiidiut; what compeu
would be made them, found it re
!ucei, although at the same meet-
ing $375, ioi rowed by Mr. Butler,
him aed he made no objection.
At the a:uto meeting President
Butler lecomuieuded that the biiBt-ne-s
bgtne fuud be taken from tha
tiusiee, a bonded officer, and given
so the executive commiteee, with
out a bond.
Many object to the provision al
lowing members to withdraw their
funds, I tbiuk this was simply an
act ot justice. Mauy who are now
Democrats, have joiued the order
beleiviug it was non political, and
in this beleif contributed their mon
ey. Tbey now beleive it is political,
and that its politics are injurious to
the doctrines in which they beleive.
B6?eiving this, ou-jht thir money to
stay wheie they think it irjurious
to their welfare I
Tbe amendments were proposed
in the presence, and with the aceent
ot attorney's employed and selected
by tho xVlliance, one of whom was a
Irmo'irat and the other for Weaver
I do not know that tbey agreed
that all amendments were necces
sary, but am informed that tbey
substantially so agreed.
1 beleive the Alliance originated
in an earnest desire to strengthen
our institutions and benefit our
people, but that it is now a mere
machine, upon which men, who are
not farmers, hope to ride into office,
Tbey have the ear of the people
aud, takiDg advantage of our de
pressed condition, seek to destroy
confidence in our public men, and
to create general dissatisfaction.
They know that with the boon of
contentment their power and influ
ence would be dissipated as tbe
mist before the fiunr I caunot join
in their efforts, and will not do so.
Iu conclusion, Mr. Editor, I
would say, it now looks like all
Democrats will have to retire from
tne Alliance, and all others who
would teach the rising generation
something besides being chronic
grumblers. Very truly yourp,
J. A. Stevens.
