he did not hear the proposition

that his wife was up, be too rose to

Durham has another mysterious

young lady this timo. Miss Mary
Jane Spivey, wh'so home is in
Moore county, has been visiting the
family of Mr. Frank Proctor, a few
itiiiee oivin lOrtii, .'U-1 il autiie
twelify eidd years of age, and is said
to be a good-looking, sprightly lady.
To day one week ago she stepped
cut ot the house in the ordinary
way of going about tha place and
she has not been heard of ince. It
was the latt time she has been seen
or heard of in a week's time. Her
disappearance is as effectual as if
the earth had swallowed her up.
Search has been made and no trace
of her can be found. She had opon
her person about f 10 in money.
She wore no wrap or anything indi
cating that she wai going away.
The neighbors aro very much puz
zled over the affair, as they can
assign t:o reason for her mysterious
disappearance. They can hardly
believe that she ha been foully
dealt with and there were no sit'iu
that her mind waa impaired. Hut
the fact starea them in the face

acceptation of tho term. Nothing
more thoroughly disgusts sensible
pe plo than to fee a mm try to play
tho peacock and thus play tho tool,
because ho w ears a lino r handsome
suit of clothes. The sumo oh-
servation will apply to a woman.
Hut there' is a certain sort ot prido
which every man, and woman, too,
may bo excused for showing. In
deed, it is a ground tor criticism it
a man docs not show It.
Every tnun ought to show eninc
pride for tho prosperity nnd well be
ing of his town or community. To
be sure, there is scarcely to be found
any town or community' against
which there can be brought no criti
cism, nut it is the duty ot every
one, if ho is interested in his totfti
or community, to ahow it and ex-
pnss it as often us opportunity pro-
souls itself. Of course it is wrong
to wiltnlly misrepresent anything
So no one is lo Im commended for
overrating bis town or community
with tho purpose ol deceiving aoine
other person. Jut it liecoines every
good citizen' who lives in a gooi
community to feel a pride in that
community and to exhibit such
tooling -givo oxptessioti to it.
Against the objectionable feattne
of your community it is possible to
present the lavorable features. An
no tow n or community can possibly
bo attractive to those outside of its
people who say more unkind ami
unpleasant things than kind am
pleasant things about it.
Nothing makes a town more at
tractive to a stranger, lor instance

man to near every person Baying
something pleasant about it a eop;e
and its interests. And one of the
best wavs in which to make a town
attractive with that eon of attraction
that will draw other people to it, is
for every man and every woman to
have something tosiy about the peo
ple and the tow n generally.
lalk up v.uir town il you would
have it do well. 1 alk up your town
it you would have others e.oine to
on. Talk up your town if yon
would feel an interest in it and have
its people feel an interest in you
There is no other way to do it. And
many a timo one little word of n.i
pleasant reference to something that
dues not exactly suit you, nor par
ticularly concern you as to that
matter, will turn a good man's in

will even drive his away.

A acily ta
huij Homing to thu know
his character.
lie is to ho batu'cd in May, and
his confession is to bo tho last work
of his extraordinary career of crime.
His little book will have a shelf
all to itself in the library of crim
inology. He announces himself as
a professional murderer. Each of
his murders was deliberately, care
fully planned, executed with calm
ness ana precision. Ho has written
about them as a great scientist would
write of a series of valuable experi
ments. He was a professional mur
derer. He had studied murder as
a fine art. He pursued it to earn a
ving, but also for its own take.
He used tho whole ot his veiv con
siderable brain power in planning
and carrying forward very subtle
murder plots, in devising new means
of killing human beings.
He "points with tiriih" to lii-i
woik. He thinks he has fairly
earned immortality and I e could not
die without h tli.i!i the world know
what a great man it bus oroduced.
le deliberately chose a career of
crime when he whs a farm boy no
in Vermont. He attended medical
ollige to equip himself for the
takintr of life just us other men l'o
to College to equip themselves for
the saving of lite. He was not in
t&m in the ordinary huso eif the
word. He was simply a mot streais
pervert, a criminal degenerate with
moral sense exactly w verted.
He tried every sort of murder -
loisoning, suffocation by gases,
btrangnlation with the bare finger.-!,
beating to death with a club every
sort except tlie crude, iioisv mu
uers. ne never murdered by acci-
lent or on an impulse. He liked 'o
lave plenty of time to tluiik it ail
ut, to select the place and the mo
ment. He took a cry great pleasure
in nis wont, lie was too much ot
an artist not to realize that hatte

More Explanations of Sixteen to One.
A correspondent is informed that
the expression "If! to 1," so much
used in discussing the silver ones-
on, refers to tho tact that an act
f Congress of 1834 directed that
the silver in a silver dollar should
weigh sixteen times as much as the
gold in a gold dollar. At that time
no gram of gold was worth sixteen
grains ot silver. Nicli was the
ratio" of silver to gold at th at i me
in the markets (if the world. Since
S34, owing to the decreastd cost
of mining silver arid its largely in-
reased production, its price has
alien so that the ratio in 1 SO 4 whs
32.X to 1. In 1MI4 32 grains of
silver were required to buy one
grain of gold. In either words, ti e
silver miners found mining profit
able when they were selling silver
at haif its former price. In 185
the average ratio was 31.fi to 1.

with some of his companions, and
a game of baseball was proposed.
in tilings necessary lor a game
i ball, bats, a mask were secured
with despatch, and yet there wsf
wanting a pair ot gloves for the
catcher. Little Charlie immn lintn.
y thought of his father's cloves
and run quickly home and tit tho
peruiiHMou of his mamma, wasal
lowed to uso th m.
Many games were played by
these little fellows, and were
thoroughly enjoyed as boys only
can enjoy this manly sport. " When
the alternoon's pleasant pastime
was over, Chat lie returned to his
home. J.ut he stepped upon tho
threshold of his father's house with
a sad heart and crestfallen counten
ance, because he made the discovery
that one of the gloves was missing,
and could not account for its disappearance.
J.eingthns troubled in mind, ai d
fearing punishment from his father,
ho went to his mother and made
known to her all the burden that
was upon his young and tender
heart. Tho mother kindly and
earnestly reminded her son that in
times of trouble and distress he

pouiini noi iorget to "take ev
thing to the Lord in prayer."
Laboring under the impulse of
uio moment, and his maternal ad
monition, the little fellow ran quick
ly to the bad ground, and there
i . ...i. i i '
kiicii oown. tn a tervent prayer
be breathed out all his trouble to
tho great Dearer and Answerer of
prayer.
At this moment a man in a lare
coal wagon came drivinc nlono
ne notieeii little i. harlie in the at
titude ot praver. and called out t.-
lim, "What are you doing.my little
man :
J.tttle Charlie arose suddenly.
and in a frightened tone, renlied.
Nothing." "Yes yon were doing
something, said the good natnred
teamster. "You were nriivinir "
Come Charles, tell me what you
were praying lor. continued the
Irivcr, who was acquainted with
the little here), and he discerned
some trouble in the lad s voinur
heart. Whereupon Charlie told his
friend all abont the matter, and
how he lost the glove, and how his
mamma instructed him to pary to
God to show him where it was.'
The kind hi arted man, touched
by the simple story of the boy, said
to him, 'Come, jump into my wagon
and ride with me to my employer's
otlice."
Little Charlie being guided by
some hidden influence, obeyed the
man's command. All along the
way to the office, this man en
deavored to cheer and raise the low
spirits ot our little friend.
When they stopped in front of
the door ol the otlice, tho driver
said to Charlie, "Now walk along
into the office, I have something
for you."
Little Char'ie reluctantly follow
ed him, and did not know what
would be given to him. As the
two entered tho office together,
Charlie's friena called out to his
employer, and said, "Mr. H. please
hand over to me that glove I left
in your care a short time ago. I
have found the owner, and hiv
brought him to get it."
It appears this man who was
hauling the coal, drove by tho ball
ground several times that day, and
noticed tlie lad at play. 1 ass mg
that way soon afier the boys left
kr home, he saw a glove lying by
the roadside. He picked it up, car
ried it to his emplvyer's office, and
left it there, so tfiat" it could be re
stored to the owner, in cae anv oc
of the boys made inquiry alajut tho
missing glove.

The Governors of Forty-Four States Taken
in by a Sharper.
The New York Times tells bow
the Governors of 41 States have
been worked by a sharp I'tah man.
This is the piot : John R. Wilson,
of Salt Lake City, I'tah, conceived
the idea a little more than a year
ago ot constructing a "State table."
It was to be composed of "pieces
of wood of historic interest repre
senting every State and Territory
in the Union." This mosaic piece
of furniture, Mr. Wilson explained,
was to be placed in the office of the
Governor of Utah, and upon it the
Chief Execuitive was to sign the
first bill passed Jiv the first I-egis
lature after the Tcrritoiy should
be admitted to tho Union.
It was a beautiful idea as it was
spread before the various Chief Ex
ecntives--that all the older Com
monwealths should contribute to
this table on which the earliest ex
pression of tho Utah legislators
should be spread, while the siana
tnro should bo affixed which would
give it the binding force of law.
Mr. Wilson w rote to the Gover
nor ot each State asking for a sam
ple of wood. Something represen
tative of the forests of each was pre
ferred, and if it chanced to be a his
toric piece, such as of the Charter
Oak, from Connecticut, or the
famous elm from Hoston Common,
so much the better.
The responses were immediate,
Governors from all over the land
hastened to send samples of weaid as
tukens of welc me to the new State.
Many deemed it an honor to be al
lowed on behalf of their State to
contribute. Our own Gov. Carr
sent a piece of native yellow pine,
and all the other Governors sent
pieces ot wood, some of them send
ing notes approving of the scheme.
The table ws made and upon it
Gov. Wells signed the first law of
the new State of I tan on January
7 last. Now the Governors who
sent wood with which to make the
table arc receiving a pamphlet con
taining all the correspondence from
the various Governors and a de
sorption of the table. On the lust
page of the pamphlet appears this
note :
This table will be sold to the
highest bidder. Offers may be sent
to my address until tho 15th of
June. 1 bold the right to reject
any or all offers."
So Mr. uson made tlie table as
speculating scheme. The feel
ings of the Governors who were
taken in by bis little game can let
ter be imagined than described.
0.ir School System,
The next General Assembly will
have to do poriietuint; with rcgird
to our public tchool Fysfctn At
rcs nt the fchcols are mostly liv
ing by their powers of endurance.
'I he county superintendent! and
t! e school boards havina been re.
moved, tins state superintendent
and the county commissioner! are
alone in charge. This practically
leave s the county systems without
a head, as the state superintendent
cannot by any means reach all tho
teachers. The books for tho
schools arc to be selected by men
chosen primarily to look after tho
roads, the jaiis and tho county
poor. This is a mako-shilt system,
and will not do. We arc in hopes
that in another year there will be
greatly iricieH'-cd appropriations,
longer school terms, more schools,
better paid teachers, all under tho
direction of a coherent system di
vided by disti icts and diiected by
men selected especially for their
fitness, without regard to politics.
No anarchist is worso than he who
touches the schools with politics.
Hiblieal Recorder.
This is an admirable and concise
statement of the condition In
which the last legislature placed
our public
school si stem. This
"make shift ststem," as the Re
corder propei fy characterizes if, i
the joint work of republicans and
populists, and we want the voters
to bear this tact in mind during
the campaign this year, and es-
'eciallv at the ballot-box next fall.
he Recorder is a relish : s and
not a political papir, and its re
marks on this subject nn there
fore entiiled to the more weight.
