The immense, beautiful equestrian statue of Robt E Lee, was unveiled by Gen Joseph E Johnston on last Thursday in the presence of an im mense crowd. It will be a time long to ue remembered in the history of the capital city of old Virginia. The city was crowded to overflow ing with visitors from all sections of the country and the South was rep resented in full pernons from every Southern State being in attendance to join in honoring the occasion and showing their high appreciation and undying love for the departed hero. The old Confederate veterans were there by the thousands to do homage to the greatest general that America has ever produced It gives us great pleasure to thus see the 4,01d Domin ion" honoring her famous son who is so dear to the whole Southland. We love the custom of erecting statues of our great men, and wish that the whole South abounded with them. We hope that North Carolina will yet catch the spirit in this direc tion and remember in bronze some of her distinguished sons. This week witnessed the re union of the Blue and the Gray atVicksburg. Accounts are that everything was a complete success. The Grand Army of the Republic occupied the post of honor in the parade, while the Con federate Veterans followed behind them. Speeches were delivered by prominent Northern and Southern Veterans. Such scenes as these go far towards binding up the bleeding wounds of sectional strife and producing peace and harmony throughout our broad and beautiful land. Those who met face to face in the terrible carnage of battle are the ones who can forgive the quickest and desire freedom from farther strife and bitter feelings. Mr McClammy, a representative from this State, has come to the res cue of the farming element of our country with a plan for their pecu niary relief which he thinks can be passed. It is to take the place of the sub-treasury bill which is meet ing with such a strong and determin ed resistance and which stands very little chance of being passed even if it is ever presented. It is freely ac knowledged that our farmers need re lief in some way and that the present congress will be very apt to pass some measure in this direction; but just what it will be is all a matter of spec ulation. Mr Williams the notorious exodus agent is again within the borders of our State. He is here on account of a suit which was brought against him for the abduction of a negro boy which he showed was untrue. He has entered suit against the parties, who prosecuted him, for $10,000 dam ages. Between thirty live and forty thousand colored people, he states, were carried away from this State last year and that he proposes to re new the exodus movement again in the fall. Mr Williams vhile inducing our sable population to depart for other lands, has, he says induced a ' number of families of the West to spend the summer at Morehead City. '! , SlFTINGS. ' Original package houses were open ed Saturday night in Apollo and Leechburg, Pa, both local option towns,' 'and beer was sold freely in Violation of the Brooks law. Fish That are Prolific. According to naturalists a scorpion will produce 65 young, a common fly will lay HI eggs, a leech 150 and a spider 170. Ahydrachna produces 600 eggs and a frog 1,100. A female moth will pro luce 1,100 eggs and a tortoise 1,000. A gall Insect has laid 50,000 e(.'gs, a shrimp 6,000 and 10,000 have been found in the ovary of an ascaris. One naturalist found over 12,000 eggs in a lobster, and another over 21,000. An insect very similar to an ant (Mctilla) has produced 80,000 eggs in a single day, and Leuwen- hoeck seems to compute 4,000,000 as the crab's share. Many fishes pro duce an incredible number of eggs. More than 86,000 have been counted in a herring, 88,000 in a smelt, 1,000, 000 in a sole, 1,130 000 in a rpach, 3, 000,001 in a sturgeon.342,000 in a carp, 383,000 in a tench, 546.000 in a mack erel, 992,000 in a perch, and 1,3 )7,000 in a flounder. ' But of all the fishes ever yet discov ered, the cod seems to be the most prolific. One naruralist computes that this fish produces more than 3, 686,000 eggs, and another as many as 9,444,000. A rough calculation has shown that were one per cent of the eggs of s ilmon to result in full grown fish, and were they and their progeny to continue to increase in the same ratio, they would in about 6J years amount in bulk to many times the size of the earth. Nor is the salmon the most prolific of species. In a yel low perch, weighing SJ ounces, have been counted 9,943 eggs, and in a smelt 10J inches in length, 25,141. An interesting experimeut was made in Sweden in 17G1 by Charles F Lund. He obtained from 50 female breams 3,100,000 young,from 100 female perch 3,215,000 young, and from 100 female mullet 4,000,000 young. Buffalo Journal. The Suieide Club. New Orleans Times Democrat. Wendell Bauin, the Secretary of that unique organization, the Bridge port. Conn, Suicide Club, has fulfilled the membership agreement by killing himself. The history of this aston ishing society is one of interest to the student of morbid psychology. Four years ago five citizens of Bridgeport, all Germans met one day while all were in low spirits, and half in jest organized the Suicide Club. The agreement was that one member of the club should end his life that year, one the next, and so on until all were gone. The agreement has thus far been faithfully kept. When the meeting was held in January there were only two members to attend it, the Secre tary and the President. It was pro posed at this meeting by the Secre tary that the President should make away with himself during the year, and the President made the same re quest of the Secretary. There being no way to settle the question, it was mutually decided that the polls be held open until a new member was pledged and initia ted. A letter carrier named Mayby talked seriously of becoming a mem ber, and the President and Secretary had great hopes of him until one morning it was learned that he had committed suicide without first join ing the club. He carried, however, a handsome silk umbrella, which he bequeathed to the Secretary of the club, Baum and it was accepted, but the longer Baum carried the umbrella the more unhappy he became, and, when his friends tried to cheer him up,he said: "A cloud hangs over me. I am now doomed." Finally he sold hiB propert . , turn ed the money over to his wife and gave the umbrella into the charge of a friend, directing that it be sent to the President of the club. He then cut his throat. The President of the club is now the only member ltft.and another year ' will show if he keeps his oath. Electric launches proved so success' ful at the Edinburgh exhibition, showing they could travel six knots an hour carrying heavy cargoes, that it is now proposed in London to start an electric ocean steamship. 'Let everybody boom up the fourth of July it will soon be here. Two Remarkable Bank Notes. A few dayi ago there was received at the Treasury Depar! ment in Wash ington a most peculiar bank note. It -was of the f 20 or $10 denomination, according to which side was exam ined, for, by some remarkable mis take, one side was printed with the general face of a twenty dollar bill, while the other had all the figures and devices of a f 10. The note was returned to the Treasury by the cash er of the First Washington National Bank of Jersey City. An investiga tion was made at Washington, and it was found that two of these notes had been issued, but no one knew where the other was. It now turns out that the second one is also in Jersey. It is in the possession of Howard Bailey, of the Newark Mu tual Life Insurance Company. He Fiddled and They FH. A Mill Creek miner thus winds up the story of a fight between 1,000 wolves that besieged his cabin one night recently in the mountains of that region, incited to frenzy by the notes of the aforesaid miner's fiddle : "I fiddled and they fit aud ate each other, till the band began to thin out. Every time I gave an extra rasp on the E string they howled louder and pitched in afresh. They kept it up for three hours, when there wasn't more than forty or fifty left, and they so blamed full that they could hardly waddle. But I fiddled and they fit for a second wind. When one threw up the sponge the others bolted him in a fwinkling. By and by there wasn't more than a dozen left. But I fiddled any they fit and feasted. "When they got down to three, each one laid hold of another's tail and chawed for glory. The ring kept getting smaller, but I fiddled and they chawed until there was only a bunch of hair left, and that blowed away down hill. The snow was all red with blood and trampled down ten feet Heads and bones were strung all down the canon, and there was fur enough in sight to 81 uff a cir cus tent. It was the dandiest dog fight I ever saw." Virginia City Chronicle.
