The most glorious object on iwnich the eye of man ever rested is the sun, after which comes the moon when shining with a full, round face. It is difficult, indeed, to conceive that an object of such brilliancy is, in reality, a dark one in itself as devoid of light as is the' earth at midnight in the absence of the moon. Moonlight is simply j sunlight received second hand, the light of the sun being reflected from the moon's dark surface. This is true of all the planets also, though not of the stare, as they all are suns self-shining as our own, a fact previously given. If to behold the full moon is a spectacle so inspiring, her cresent with its horns pointing either to the rightor left, oi, again, upward as she nears the setting sun is hardly less so, and in this place demands special attention,as, from Jong experience,.I -find the cause of her ajsurjftttah of. tW cresent, the half aud the jgibbous phases to be very imperfectly understood, It be ing often imagined, even, that some dark body passes between the earth and the moon, and cuts off her light wholly, or in part, and suggests the question often asked of me, ''What is the object which thus' intervenes?" Of all the countless host ot stars, comets and planets, the moon is nearest to the earth, and, consequently it is not possible for any other body to come; between hei and the earth. The moon's easterly motion is about thirteen degrees daily, and her corn pie to revolution arpuud the earth occupies about 27 days, but as, during this time, the sun has moved also easterly one degree per day, the moon; trt overtake the suii and produce a new moon, has. to make moro than a complete revolution. This requires a little more than two days, so that from new moon to new again it is not 27 but 29 days, the length of a lunar month. The instant of the new moon is when the moon passes the sun, her illumined side being, of course wholly turned toward that luminary, and her dark and consequently, invisible side toward the earth. As she emerges from the sun a constantly increasing portion of her sunny side turns to ward us, and we see her first as a slender crescent which nightly grows in size until after the lapse of a little more than so yen days alter passing the sun she appears as a half moon, one-half of her stinii3r side being turned toward us, or, as the almanacs say, at first quarter. iNightlv, more and more of her bright disk presents itself until, rising when the sun sets, her entire luminous portion is turned to us as well as to the sun, and we see her as the full-orbed moon. Then, m reverse order, the above changes are gone through until a fortnight has elasped, when she again passes the sun and becomes invisible. Although the full moon in a cloudless sky floods the earth with radiance and splendor and invests even the most unlovely objects with . a softened beauty, yet it would require moro than six hun dred thousand moons shining at once .to equal, the light of the sun. It is a curious and an unexplain ed fact," and, probably, not an ex ceptional case in the solar system, that the moon revolves round the earth in exactly the same time re quired to rotate on her axis, thus forever preventing her posterior 1 lnnliAHA 4wsr- lAmrr conr a n I therefore, we are and must remain l ignorant regarding the topography and scenery of the opposite side.

Are we then iuatifiAd in th belief that this heavenly bodv haa been created in vain ? No; we owe much to the moon. She raises the ocean tides, and their ebb and flow serve to keep f he" waters of the gulfs, bays and estuaries of the earth from growing stagnant. And to sailors at sea she is of great service in determining positions. The moon as a telescopic obiest surpasses in magnificence all oth ers in the heavens. On favorable occasions she can approach to less than 220,000 miles lrom the earth, or from service to service, to with- n 215,000 miles. If at such a time a magnifying power of, say, two honsand be applied, she will be seen as though at a distance of over 100 milrs. Under these con ditions, an object as large as the Capital at Washington could be seen as a visible point. 4 It is not possible for any teles cope ever to do better than that. The idea nromulcrated hv o ' sensational w riters regarding the giant telescopes that must, when completed, bring the moon- to within a few miles or even to a distance of a few yards is wholly erroneous. To see the moon well there is no need of a mammoth telescope, as she has sufficient light to bear a high Dower, yet our atmosphere is so aden with va pors and lashed with tremors which are magnified as is the moon itself, that the closo investigation ardently desired by astronomer is prevented trereby, and on low magnifying ixnvers-'can be;used 'Tlut the lu nar scenery even under these not most favorable condi tions is giand beyond the power of words to 'ex press.

Mount Lowe Echo. An Opportunity tor North Oarollna. When an Anglo-Saxon people once awakes to its needs, the battle for their attainment is more than half. won. The minds of the thinking classes at the South "more distinctively American"than t hose of any other section of the Union are at work as they have never boon before trying to get at the true solution of tho problem how best to utilize the resources which' God has given them. Our people as a whole are tired of waiting for something to turn up, and just so soon as they can make up th'.'ir minds what ought to be done, they are going to do it. Every sign of the times points to an industrial revolution . out of which will come such a rivalry between districts and StateB as was never witnessed, except. when the troops of all sections have been in. the field vieing for valor's meed. A few weeks ago the writer spent a daj- in New York at the office of Hugh R, Garden, who is president of the Southern Exchange Associ ation, of that city, and had a chance to read several hundred letters from business men all over the South, the theme, of which was in effect, How is tho South to work out its own salvation? There were all sorts of suggestions, but in nine out of every ten of these letters from pmet.ical men the up permost idea was that our State governments must bachanged from political machines . into, business machines, whose primary aid shall be the development of. resources and the augmentation of material prosperity. . With this singular concensus of opinion fresh upon my mind, I have juat come in coutact with some citizens of North Carolina where this idea has been growing for some years and where the pres ent Mate administration ia a step in tha desired direction and they told? me . how it was proposed, at the next election to carry out this business-admitiistration idea to the yery uttermost, and to make this magnificently endowed old Com monwealth the leader in modern progress. Mr. Julian 8. Carr whom they call Colonel," but he is too sub stantial a man to be dubbed Col onel after . fighting through the war while but a boy as a brave private soldier is the man who has been selected as the standard bearer in this campaign, which stands tor doing the right tning at the right time in the right place. So signi ficant to North Carolina and to the South generally is this campaign "business before politics" that the readers of the Manufacturer's Re cord at the North and throughout the South alike will take a lively interest in it, and will, I believe, unanimously Godspeed its success, because the readers of the Manu facturers' Record must have at heart the real prosperity of the section of which the Manufactur ers' Record has for years been the most conspicuous advocate, or else they wouldn't subscribe lor it. Southhatera don't take the Manu facturers' Record, you know.f For my part, I know enough of the advantaged that would result to North Carolina from the elec tion of Julian S. Carr to be gover nor to teel justified in saying tht I should consider it one of the most fortunate gubernatorial se lections that has been made in a Southern State Bince what thev call "the new South" first betran to be talked about, and as an ob server of Southern conditions and Southern needs, and of the effects of Southern events on the public sentiment of the whole country, I feel justified in declaring it to be my deliberate judgment that if Julian S. Carr shall be made the next governor ot North Caroliua.it will go farther to strengthen the confidence of capitalists and man ufacturers, and so induce them to look with eagerness into what North Carolina has to offer in the way of resources ready for devel opment, than any event or combi nation of events which during the the next five years may be reason ably expected to occur. The foregoing opinion is based upon a knowledge of the estima tion in which the individual under consideration is held by people outside ot North Carolina, espe cially throughout the North and East. As to the estimate placed upon him by his own people, he has done enough for North Caroli na to make his fellow-citizens feel moved spontaneously to give him tho choice of all the honors at their disposal. However, it is not always the man who has served his State and country best who gets the honors, but. alas I too otten the man who can weave the most in genious and alluring for the enmeshment of place-seekers. And while this state of affairs is the crowning curse of this entire country, it is, perhaps more mis chievour in results at the South than anywhere else, because at the South the political octopus haa had his own way moro than in regions where heretofore the public mind has been more appreciative of pud lie needs. But let us hope for a new era, now that our practical men are stirred up to the exigen cies of the hour ; for, as I began this article declaring, when an Anglo-Saxon people awakes to a realization of the things it needs, it haa more than half attained them. : Many Persons uoUa lawn bos ornrark or fcooMteld um Brawn's Iron Bitters ita&aao inua, aid atgHtftnOi wwwnieiafM a4 cum liri.

We notice in various esteemed coutemporariea criticisms of the President on account of his having withheld his signature from the tariff bill. We do not see how any one upon calm consideration, could havs expecUd him to adopt any other course. If he had never written thb . letter to Chairman Wilson he' might have signed the bill, but having written this letter it became impossible for him to do so. In this letter he expressed his most cordial disapprobation of the measure. How. then, could he uru around and place upon it the seal of his approval ? To have lone so would have been not only to belie his written words, but to have nid that the measure em bodied the tariff reform for which he and his party hare striven, and to have said that Would have been palpable absurdity. Were the bill a thousand times worse thau it is, he could not have afforded to veto it, for- that would have am ounted to the head of the party utting itself off from it. In point of fact he never, perhaps, for a mo ment, contemplated this. JThH only course open to him as a party man and as a consistent individu al, was the policy of acquiescence and we cannot understand how, under the circumstances, more could have been expected of him.

A JackLtc Carpenter. Macon Telegraph. A lawyer was cross questioning a negro witness in one of the justice ! courts the other day, and was get ting along fairly well, until he asked the witness what his occu pation was. F se er carpenter, Bah." "What kind of a carpenter?" "They calls me a jack-leg car penter, sab." "What is a jack-leg carpenter?" "He is a carpenter who is not a firstclass carpenter, sah. " ''Well, explain fully wnat you understand a jack-leg carpentet to be," insisted the lawyer. "Boss, I declare I dunno how to 'splain any mo, 'cept to say hit am jes' de same diff unce twixt you and a first-clats lawyer." The negro was one ot the old fashioned kind, and did not mean to be insolent or impudent, but had just decided in his own mind that the lawyer asking the questions was not a first class lawyer. It ia needless to say that ques tions ceased at once. Thou art The Man. The mention of Colonel Rob In gersoirs name recalls a touching little story of Washington life One cheerless, rainy night some years ago, the venerable Simon Cameron was sitting in the office of the Ebbitt House, gazing out through the window into the fog and darkness. He was lost in thought and his face was the pic ture of melencholy. Presently Colonel Ingersoll entered. "What has happened, General?' he asked. "You look as if you'd just lost your last friend." "Ah, Hob." said the old man with a sigh, have just seen a cruel, pitiable night. An. aged crippled soldier was painfully toiling up the street yonder and was making some progn-M, .when along came a big, double listed, broad shouldered fellow and kick ed the crutches out from tlw old cripple, leaving him leeblo and helpless, to get up as best he could." 'I would to (iod I had been there 1" cried Ingersoll angrily, ''I'd have trounced the ruUianl I never heard of so brutal an out rage 1 What! abuse nu old and crippled man like that ! I'd make quick work ot the brute!" "Wait a moment. Hob," inter posed old Simon Cameron, gently. "I was that aged and crippled vet eran and I was toiling along to my grave. And it way you, Hob who came across my path and kicked from under me the crutches that sepported mo in that last jour ney." Colonel Ingersoll made no an swer; the old man continued to look mournfully into the night. Ex. KbliCTiUC HITTEKS. This remedy is lccmin so well known and popular as t need no special iiihi.. tion.
