Raleigh, N C.
RALEIGH, APRIL 29, 1890.
The country has gro vn accustomed
to reckless displays of deuiagogism
regarding the Chinese question, but
the House of Representatives has re
cently passed a bill which is calcula
ted to startle the most cyuical ob
server. Under the pretense of amend
ing the Census act, the lower branch
of Congress declared in favor of a
new system of excluding Chinese
more rigorous than anything hereto
fore suggested. It was provided that
each Chinese person enumerated in
the census 6hall . e given an engraved
certificate, to be duly numbered and
registered in the Census Office, con
taining all the particulars necessary
fully and accurately to identify such
person; that this certificate shall be
the sole evidence of the right of such
person to be and remain in th- United
States; and that any Chinese person
found thereafter in the country with
out such certificate shall be either
imprisoned or sentenced to depora
tion. In 6hort, under the guise of a
amendment to the Census act, it was
proposed to pssan exclusive law of
the most offensive sort imaginable a
law which would constitute an insult
to the Chinese nation, and which
would be admirably calculated to
provoke reprisals upon Americans
resident or traveling in China. The
Nation.
Our Postage Stamps.
Apropos of the advent of a
new color in our t wo cent postage
stamps, it might be interesting to
learn how the "letter pass'" is made.
The design of the stamp is first en
graved on steel, and in printing, the
plates used to have two hundred
stamps engraved upon them Two
men are busily engaged covering
these with colored inks, and passing
them to a man and girl who are kept
busy printing them with large roll
ing hand-presses. Thus the stamp
makers work in little squads of paper
containing two hundred printed
stamps are dried sufficiently, they are
taken into another room and gummed
The gum used for the purpose is a
composition consisting of the powder
of dried potatoes and other vegeta
bles, mixed with water. After having
been again dried, this time on racks
fanned by steam power, the sheets
are put betweed she ts of pasteboard
and pressed in hydravilic presses ap
plying a weight of two thousand tons.
Next the sheets are cut in two. This
is done by a girl with shears, hand
cutting being preferred to machinery,
which would destroy too many
stamps.
The sheets are then passed to an
other squad of workers, who make
the perforation I etween the stamps.
They are tfheii pressed once moie, and
packed and labeled and stowed away
to be sent out to the various offices
when ordered. If a single stamp is in
any way mutilated, the entire sheet
of one hundred stamps is burned,
and five hundred thousand are said
to be burned every week from this
cause. The greatest accuracy is ob
served in counting the sheets of
stamps to guard agaimt pilfering by
the employees; and during the past
twenty years not a sheet has been
lost in this way. During the process
of manufacturing, the sheets are
counted at least eleven times.

Wheeler Wilcox, of which thU is
essential part:
The foundation of society rents on
its hon.es. The success of our homes
rests on the v ives. Therefore, first
of all, teach our girls how to be sue
cessf ul wives. Begin in their infancy
to develop their characters. Teach '
them that jealously is an immorality j
and gossip a vice. Train them to
keep the smallest promise as sacredly
ats an oath and to speak of people
only as they would speak io them.
Teach them to look for the best qual
ity in every one they meet, and to
notice other people's faults only to
avoid them. Train them to do small
things well and to delight in helping
others, and instill constantly into
their i;inds the necessity for sacrifice
for others' pleasure as a means of soul
.1 --v t
fi I
development, unce given a nrui ;
foundation of character liKe tnis,
which the poorest as well as the
richest parents can give to their gills,
and no matter what necessity arises
they will be able to rise above it.
The pith of this opinion is that the
first and the most important thing to
"do with our girls" is to fit them to
be true women. This will hardly
meet the practical needs of parents
whose greatest anxiety relates to the
care and support of their girls, rather
than to character building or the
rearing of wives for men who will
take the girls away from the mater
nal nest and soon thereafter, per
haps, show their gratitude for all
this care by including in poor jests or
sharp sneers against mothers in-law.
But Mrs. Wilcox is right, neverthe
less. A girl who receives the train
ing which she indicates will be well
fitted for success in any other voca
tion besides that of home making,
should that natural and happiest
mission not overtake her Generous,
honorable and amiable traits of char
acter and the ability to "do small
things well" go a great ways in en
abling girls as well as boys to make
their own way in the world.

Wilmington, Del, April 26. James
Hamilt m, John T Owens and James
Owens Isaacs, who were convicted
last week of stealing a horse in Sussex
county, were pilloried for one hour,
and received twenty lashes each at
Georgetown today. They have a
year's imprisonment als t serve.
There teTng no jail-yard the whipping
took place on the village green, in a
space roped off to i eep back the
crowd.
The young men are connected with
prominent families, and their trial
and punishment made a great local
sensation. The trial was a hotly con
tested legal battle, and since their
sentence strong presure has been
brought upon the Governor to remit
the corporal punishment. About
three hundred persons witnessed the
whippings.
There is a firm in Cincinnati which
each year beats 21,000 gold dollars

be beat into a sheet that will carpet

April 18th, 1890.
We have just made an arrangement
with one of the largest publishing
houses in America making it possible
for us to present each of our custom
ers with one of the most magnificent
Fine Art Publications of the day, al
lowing them choice of four books,
when their cash purchases amount to
$20 00.
The enclosed circular gives a full
description of the ,size, appearance,
contents and number of full page en
gravings in eeh book. Bear in mind
that each book is 9ixl2 inches (larger
than any ordinary atlas), and that
the engravings are the hand work of
Gustave Dore, the greatest of French
artists, whose v orks stands unequall
ed.
These books are not of the cheap
"clap trap" order, but are classed with
the world's highest literature. You
must see them to appreciate them.
All great literary men p.gree that any
library is not complete unless it con
tains all of these classical works.
Even though we propose giving one
of thet-e valuable books with every
$20.00 we receive, our prices will be as
low or lower than ever before, thus
giving our cus' omers the greatest
opportunity of obtaining the most
value for their money ever known.
We therefore cordially invite your
patronage so that we may have the
pleasure of making you a gift of one
or more of these magnificent publica
tions. a21 tf Yours very truly,
