The trouble in tbe Carolines is perhaps over. reacw has been restored and order and civilization hare been re-enthroned by the only methods that could pos sibly nave succeeded. JNortnern doctrin aires may hurl philosophical condemna tion at the southern whites to their hearts' content. They may prate of vio lence and babble about barbarism. The objects ot tnwr disapproval care lesstban nothing about that. The preservation o! social order, the. protection of property, and, the purity and intelligence of rov- Arnment nrn nf mnra nnnmrn til thum than the clamor of the mere theorists and dreamers, barbarism ia one thing to tne metaphysician, it Is a very differ ent thing to the man whose material in terests, whose feelings, whope very fire side, are subjected to its sinister and ab horrent touch. -.' The southern whites have done iast what ' the northern whites would hav? done under similar conditions they have dropped party politics in tb presence o a great emergency, and have restored the regimeol enlightenment and Christianity. , vve wisn, nowever.to call tne attention of our colored friends to one lesson of the episode which they will do well to take to heart. We ask them to consider for a moment the value of those pretend ed champions of theirs, who have fatten ed on the office procured by their votes, who have inflamed them by evil counsel, and deluded tbem with false incitement. What became of these champions in tbe hoar oi penI7 : VV here was that boasted valor," which expressed itself in insolent bombastics : and , offensive trueulenee?

The employers of North Carolina, upon whose enterprise and capital nine-tenths of the colored population of the State subsist, who pay 95 ner cent, of the taxes which maintain their schools and asylums, hospitals and poor houses: who conduct every industry that furnishes employment tor tne poor, and to one or another of : whom every hemiess and af flicted necro appeals never without nn. questioning response in their hour of ex tremity, these white men are now calling In tbe refugees to peaceful homes and profitable occupation, while the former office-seekers and office-holders of both races ana colors are niainor in northern refuges from the storm which their ra pacity and insolence provoked. ' The Carolina negroes have been dupes and victims. Thev have been deluded in. to dreamincr that they can smart and bold power in communities in which thev represent practically nothing of the true basis Of Civilized Bocietv neither wealth nor culture, neitner nroflt nor Hnhntanne. A lesson has ibeen offered them. , The question is whetherthey will profit by it. UGRANGE NEWS. Free Peess Bureau., 1 LaGiunue, N.

It li a matter of common experience that a razor left for awhile unwed be comes blunt A writer in Ohambera' Journal aaya that ruff, caused by tbe moisture in tbe atmosphere is quite enough to account for this. Shearers, for iostaaoe, who baye to use partic ularly sharp , instruments, never aet their shears till just before using. What ia not so generally known is that a ra zor whioh will not out will become sharper sometimes , by being left aside for some time. The only explanation of this is thai the electrical properties of the metal in the edge become changed. i A "wire edge" is commonly put on a tool by amateurs. The steel turns and folds backlog Itself.-; It, Rowing to the edge being made too long and thin, or tbe metal being too soft. The only onre for a wire edge Is to break off ;he bent portion and grind and set again. , r, f'A knife that cuts butterwhen it is hot" (and under no other circumstances) we sometimes meet with. We nave been going into the reasons of things, and the reason of this is easily explain ed. Heat expands' metal, and in propor tion ; to f the, amount of metal which is het,Ther$ is! more, metal' in the breadth of a blade than in Its tniofcness, andi the former, therefore, ia expanded ifijmenaelynQre than the latter. In oth er words, the wedgelike shape is length ened, and the tool becomes "sharp." . '7-i drhm 'rmlVot JvMt Pride. - Qne day soon after the Mulberry Bend park was laid out in the Italian quarter of New York the man who bad had more to do with the good work than any one else was passing there. As he strode happily along, thinking -'of . the tenements that used to stand there; the fresh, clean earth attracted him and he walked out upon it' Stamping joyously about, he exclaimed: "Fine, fine They have planted the seed and Boon the green grass will spring pp under the warm sunshine. It is my prondest'V- Just then a park policeman who had sloped fcp1 tchirtd. him landed two vig orous whacks on the good man's back. t "Git off tr th' grass; ye looney old crank JT he eaid. J4Be,off wid ye, quick now, an don't let me ketch ye 'round here ag'in or I'll run ye in. See? Q'wan. now." The philanthropist had leaped wildly to the walk and his fist doubled up with anger, but a second thought, that the "sparrow cop" was right, caused his hand to relax, and the, maker of the park "moved on," sore but wiee as ever. New York Times. . , Sandy and the Mare. i A Scottish paper tells a story of San dy llor i a Forfarshire farmer who had been spending an hour or two in the evening with a friend a couple of miles away. It was a moonlight night, and Sandy, after partaking freely of his friend's hospitality, was riding quietly home across the sheep pastures on his "guid auld mare," when they came to an open, ditch, which his mare refused to crocs. T: "Hootawa, Maggie," said the rider, "this winna dae. Ye maun jistgang ower." lie turned w back about a hundred yards, wheeled round and gave tbe mare a touch of his whip. On she went at a brisk canter, but as they reached the edge of the ditch she stopped dead and shot Sandy clean over to the other side. Gathering himself up, Sandy looked his mare straight in the face and said: "vera weel pitched indeed, ma lass. Bit hoo are ye goin to get ower yersel', eh?" - - :- X.; -.:::,'.v Wearjr'e Sacred' Promise. 5,;..- "No, madam, I cannot split the wood to which you so indelicately refer.

The cabinet minister significantly said:, 4'The president's purpose is very plain. V More over, tbe battienmps lowa and urrgon are big enough to alone conquer Spain in her present condition." 4 S Thece indications of the policy ot the administration resulted from iqquiries concerning the situation in Paris and tbe actnal instructions which have beeu sent to bur peace commissioners. It has been ascertained that President McKinley in tends to halt tbe battleships at Rio de Janeiro. This may be regarded at Madrid as a menace, but it is not so intended. The order to halt the battleships is only precautionary. As k suggestion, merely, it may be aid, that the halting of battle ships at Rio may prove to be as f titer- estintr At Berlin as at Madrid. Vt It is the purpose of President McKJnlev to have the battleships and cruisers of our navy ready to make immediate de monstration asainftt the Spanish coast. in the event of further manifestation of a disposition for unreasonable delay on tbe part of the government at Madrid, f The order fl or ;tbe rendezvous of. the; North Atlantic squadron at Hampton Roads is exewdhiffly fcianiflcanL t Tne s Philippine archipelago must be surrendered without captious, bickering or else Spain, may Jose tbe Canary Islands also.
