The timber resources of North'
Carolina are something wonderful.
Northern capital is investing in the
timber and timber land* of the
State, and daily d»\tl ping what we
in our innoctnce have regarded as
no account. It will astonish the
readers of this paper to know that
in an adjoining county parties have
investtd ten thousand dollars for a
hedge boat built in the wood-, and
are expending a hundrtd th usand
k)llar* a year in digging a canal t
allotd an outlet to deep water ft r

We are told that It'eland was
defeatetl for "twisting the tail f the
British lion. And thtre is an inti
mation that if we do not keep a civil
tongue we may have trouble, (or
i many is in apprehension because of
the a M daci*y of Mr. Blaine.
In the way of character American
Presidents need not fear comparison
with the princes. Spain has an in
fant with his rattle; Austria a moody,
morbid Emperor; Russia a trembling
i (V.ar ; (iermany a nervous, impatient
young sovereign. American Presi
dents have always been men- sane,
honest, responsible—the best that
could bo found after the general
j sifting of the people. l ake the list
from .Washington down, and compare
them for valoi ami ability with th«
