Not long ago a savant made the dis covery that an egg could easily be poi soned by the insertion of a thin wire that would leave no mark on the shell. Until then the Czar of Russia had eaten eggs with absolute security; but now, a continental correspondent avers, they are sent him in all sorts of mysterious receptacles sometime in hat boxes and they are boiled or converted into omelettes in a little kitchen contiguous to the Czar's study. Here a Parisian cook named R-yuaud operates under the personal superintendence of the Czarina, who goes in and out of the kitchen at all hours, and often prepares a dish with Hex own hands. The Czar never cats thick soup or thick sauces. His food is meat, boiled or broiled, but the brpth or gravy must always be perfectly clear. Tue vegetables are served whole, and cut before him with a silver knife. The sugar which he eats with his fruit is also pouiided in his sight, and his salt is the common gray salt in large grains, with which it would l?e impossible to mix ar senic, as could be done with the fine white table salt.

Lecturer of that state, says: 4 'Now let me suggest that we go to the national meeting next fall, and form a soldiers' Alliance, composed of the blue and Cie gray. Let as there clasp hands; let us dig a grave across the Mason and Dixon line. In that grave let us put the bloody shirt with all its bitter remem brances; let us bury that shirt and it bitterness deep from human eyes and dau.ned be the man that ever resurrects it to divide the people of this govern ment. Let the cry be for fraternity for yourselves as well as our dear brother. In the language of Washington, let u guard with a jealous eye and indignatly frown upon any attempt to alienate one part of this Union from another. And if political blatherskites and wealthy scoundrels persist in trying to array m agaiast each other, let us retire them Irom business. "We are brothers of one household: we may disagree and even fight, but thai is no reason why we should always be divided. Ani when any man or set of nen tells you that the soldier of the North or the people of the North have any such feelings towards the soldier or people of the South as you see in out paper, tell them that they are liais. 1 aoi pretty well acquainted with the sentiment of the working people of the North." The North Carolina State Farmers Vlliance astembled at Asheville, Preti lent Elias Carr, of Edgecombe county, presiding, every county in the State out one being represented.

Tha day was spent in choosing temporary and permanent officers . B. D. Tarleton of Hall county was made temporary chair man. J. C. Huttheson of Harris count? was made permanent chairman. Th platform denounces the exorbitant tariff and the Federal Election bill. A plank was inserted demanding separate cars for whites and blacks. The utmost en thusiasm prevailed. The supporters of Gen.

As to the work the convention is expected to do column could be written, but the roost important will be the settlement of the race prob lem. The people expect their represent -atives to pass some sort of a ballot law that will for all time to come, eliminate the vote of the ignorant, aud it is more than probable that the Australian system, with fcome modifications, will be adopted. Otbtrs demand an elective judiciary, a limit t tenure of office, curtailment of Executive. power, and the abolishment of the office of Lieutenant Governor. "The other day," said an old Tennes seean, "in speaking of the election of James K. Polk to the prtsidency tome people seem to believe that it was Mr. Polk's success in the guberna torial contest in Tennesre, immediately preceding the presidential centest of 1844, which gave him the nomination that year for president This is a mif take. Mr. Polk was never but once elected governor of Tennessee, and that was in 1839 five years before his elec tion to the presidency. He was beaten for governor in 1S41 and 1S43 by James C. Jones. He wm not, in the usual acceptation of the word, a candidate for president in 1844, but, the national con vention failing to agree upon either of the pronounced candidates, Mr. Polk was introduced as a dark bors or com promise candidate atd elected." The Stone of Destiny. Beneath the seat of the coronation chair of England, in Westminster Abbey, is the stone of destiny." It is a large slab taken from a monastery at Scone, Scotland, by Edward I-, in 1216. On this stone the Kings of Scotland bad stood when the oata of office was taken by them.
