New,York, July 20 There was an ex citing and pathetic goene on tbe pier of the Old Dominion line this afternoon when the steamer Old Dominion wan warped tno her dock with Mrs. Ida Staff ird, wife of a prominent cltisen . of Greensboro, North Carolina, who had eloped with J. E. Harding, book-keeper of tbe Kevolutlon Cotton Mills, and one of the best known men In the same city . . New York acquaintances of the two famlllee concerned had been notified by wire of tbe elopement and were waiting on tbe pier ae the gang plank was low red. J. IS. Cone, a former resident of ureensboro, but now a business man of this city, rtuhed up the plank as the mnn and woman came down arm ,an3 arm. He seized Harding and dragged him off to one side of the dock by the piles of ,y baggage, while Mrs. Stafford followed, ( trying to detain him and weeping hyster Ically. , . . . . ., .

Harding at first seemed Inclined to fol low tone's advtoe. But the pleadings of tbe grfef-strlcken woman Anally swayed him. , He retnrnel hpr carresses, saying: " "D m't fear, Ida, 1 1'J tiok by. you.

It Is but proper, Virginia having set a bad example by refusing to punish a North Carolina man for stealing a I man's wife, that North Carolina should j P"0" out justice b contrast and take ' char? of a Virginian's runaway wife, by ' Placl ig her and her companion in jail for ' j him, to geher when he wants her. ... A Relic of Bellam Day. Greenville Beflect tr: . Today " while Wad-i Butts, the house mover, was do ing rae work about the house of Mrs. M. A fkiuee, on. Pitt street, he found an old gun that is probably a relic of the civil war. The gun has a rifle barrel of about 48 calibre, and a revolving cylin der of Use chambers. This cylinder ,1s about three Inches long, and of the old pow ler ball and cap style. It Is likely that this gun was hid by a Yankee dur ing the war. It la ruety with age. SHOUT STATE STORIES.

DIRECTIONS FOR CDRniG TOBACCO H-T-fT 4.'." . 1 ... .,T 4- Darlnsr tbe fourth tr when Ih X- MP is aenrlr dried o watch care- X J fully and unremittlne-lr and as the T tobacco beocmee dryer reduce I temperature.'.;. " A skillful curer caa produce the color most in demand, and by the flue better and with more certainty than In any other way. ' The 'main object of the author Is to Induce planters, who have never used flues, to try' them . for all grades. ' There are two modes for curing yellow tobacco one with charcoal and the other with flues. Tbe first Is the prlnil tive mode, but Is fast giving way to the latter, which la cheaper and more effi cient, and is being adopted by most of our beet planters. - The chief agent In either mode Is heat a dry, curing heat- to expel the sap from the leaves, stems and stalks of the plants, and catch the col ir yellow, next to nature's color, green, and to fix It Indelibly. This Is the science of curing yellow tobacco. There are seven prlematlc colors that of green tobacco occupying the middle of the prism. By the process of nature, leaves la drying descend la color from green, first to yellow, then orange, then red, and finally lose all color as they gd to decay. Now, a quick dry heat, so regulated as to dry out the leaf and catch the yellow, and fix It, Is the modus operandi of curing fancy bright tobacco. A - barn containing seven - hundred sticks of green tobacco, six . medium plants on each stick, . holds along with the tobacco four thousand five hundred to five thousand pounds of water which must be expelled in from eighty-five to one hundred hours, - f , , Charcoal produces an open, dry heat, well suited for the purposes; but Its prep uratfos is costly, Its use tedious, dirty and laborious, and , it deposits a black dust on the leaf that is objectionable. With flues constructed with furnace and pipes, the wood Is burned as cut In the forest or old field, and the whole process of curing Is less costly and less laborious and the tobacco cured therewith free from dust, and has a sweeter flavor. Tbe flue process possesses so many ad vantages over all other modes of curing tobacco, , Is so safe, if properly con structed, and free from smoke, that when its merits become better known It will come into general use and supersede all other modes. . , ; , The first step In curing Is called the steaming or yellowing process. ' Medium tobacco will require froml to SO hours' steaming at about 90 degrees to yellow sufficiently; but tobacco with more or less sap, larger or smaller, will require a longer or shorter time to yellow. Here the judgment of the curer . must be his guide. Inexperienced planters would do well to procure the services of an expert curer, if they have tobacco suitable- for fine yellow. '. The planter saves In en hanced value of his crop many times the money paid to the curer, and, besides, by clo-e attention, he may learn in one season to cure well himself. . Theory alone, however good, and directions, however minute, will not do here, but it is practice that must qualify one to cure well. When it Is remembered that no two plants are exactly, alike, no two barns precisely similar In every particular, and that the weather may change every hour, is it reasonable that a fixed program can be followed for every curing with any certain hope of success? The experienced know better. On work so variable only general directions can be given. The planter here must nse his head as well. . . The next stop is called fixing the color. When the tobacco Is sufficiently yellowed, best leaves of a uniform yellow, and the greener ones ol a Ught peagreen color It is time to advance tbe beat to one hun dred degrees; observing the leaves closely to detect sweating, which will soon red den and spoil tLe color, unites driven off.

' ; Keep the heat at one hundred degrees for four hours and then advance two and a half degrees every two hours, until one hundred and ten degrees are reached. Here you bave reached the most critical point in the difficult process of curing bright tobacco. The condition and ? pearance of the tobacco must now be the liurer's guide. No one can successfully cure tobacco until be can distinguish the effects of too"much or too little heat lu the appearance of the leaf. Too Uttk nea t, In fixing the color, operates to stain the face side of the leaf a dull brown color, and is called "sponging," and may be known to the novice by its appearance only on the face side of the leaf. Too much heat reddens the .leal, first around the edge and then in spots, which are visible on both sides. Now, to prevent sponging on the one hand and spotting on the other, U the aim of the experienced curer. No definite time can be laid down to run from one hundred and ten to one hundred and ; twenty degrees. Some. times four hours will suffice, then again eight hours Is fast enough. While It Is usual at this stage advance to about five degrees ever two hours for medium to bacco, the condition of the tobacco often indicates, to the practical eye, the ne cessity for slower or faster movement. But It Is safe not to advance above out hundred and ten degrees until the taiU begin to cur! at the ends. Arrived at one hundred and twenty or one hundred and twenty-five degrees, this is the curing process. The heat should remain at or near these figures until the leaf is cured, which ;Wlll require' from six to eight hours, according to the amount of sap In the leaf to be expelled. When the leaf ap pears to be cured, ad vance five degrees every hour up to one hundred and seventy degrees and remain until stalk and stem are thoroughly cured. To run above one hundred and eighty degrees Is to en danger scorching the tobacco, and per haps burning both barn and tobacco. To recapitulate " ; First Yellowfcg process, 90 degrees from 24to 80 hours. ; Second. Fixing color, 100 degrees, 4 hours. ' Second. Fixing color, 100 to 110, '2 1-2 degrees every 2 hours. Second. Fixing color, 110 to 120, 4 to 8 hours. "' :" Third. Curing the feaf, 120 to 125, 6 to 8 hours. Fourth. Curing stalk and stem, 123 to 170, 5 degrees an hour. And continue at one hundred and seventy degrees until stalk and stem are thoroughly 1IIV1 and dry, which usually requires from twelve to Clleea hours. Bj War of Contrast. Dallas. Tex..
