Another Just Like Dim. Detroit Free Press. "Memory la a treacherous thing," observed a man in a Grand River avenue hotel, aa a number of guests were sitting about. !' Would you be lieve that I couldn't tell who was president when I was asked the other dayf You are an exception," replied one of the men. "I may be, but I doubt it. I'll bet a dollar I can find a man in this very block whose memory is about just as poor." "A man who can't remember who is president T" "Yes, sir." "Name him." "The grocer above us It's an even dollar that yon may ask him the qnestion and he can't answer it." The money was then put up and the crowd went over. The doubting Thomas was told to act as spokesman and he said: "Mr. Blank, what is the president's front name ? ' "President 1 Front name r Why, I don't remember to have ever heard it in my life." "Who is president ?" "Who? Well, I declare! That's very, very funny. Let's see ! Let's see t I give it up." "You can't tell his name ?" "no. xou see, I'm so very, very busy, and it is such a trifling thing, and " But the stakes were given up in disgust, and the crowd retired all bat the two men with treacherous memories. '"Half to you," said the first, as he handed over a dollar. "0. K. That's the profits on two crates of berries. What's the next bet?" "That you can't remember who dis covered America." "Ail right bring 'em in. I won't be able to remember that America was ever discovered." The man who can affori to pay for ce now is the one who "takes the cake." Oddly enough we call them grand stands, when they are built expressly for us to sit down upon. It is a little singular to say the least that after a man has been painting the town red he usually feels blue. The height of the season varies ac cording as the domestic fills or neg lects to fill the salt and pepper boxes regularly. The strike on the New York Cen tral Railway, while greatly inconve niencing the public, will soon be over come, if we may judge by the present situation, unless the Knights of Labor determine to involve the entire Van derbilt system. The Company was able yesterday to partially supply the places of the strikers, and trains were last night running with some regu larity. At the same time the tsitua tion is not a comfortable one, anl most serious labor troubles appre pended as a result of the conflict be tween the Central and its employees Insecticidal Science. Texas makes about one-third the entire cotton crop, and it is pleasant, therefore, to know that the staple in that State is advancing most favora bly. Much of this is said to be due to the fact that, under improved methods, the once dreaded caterpillar is now readily mastered, thanks to the Na tional Entomologist, Inspector Gen eral of insects, or whatever may be the name of this special functionary, These mild, placid old gentlemen who go about microscope in hand and with all sorts of things crawling out of their pockets are your real philan thropists. They take the wheat from the weevil and feed the hungry; res cue the cotton from the caterpillar and clothe the naked. Some years ago these Scientists published an entire volume devoted especially to cotton insects. It was profusely illustrated in colors, with bugs cut bias, worms in transverse sections and larvte laterally and long itudinally exhibited not forgetting, of course, a life size, full-length por trait of the destroyer himself, in full panoply of green and gold, just ready to devour the wardrobe of the world His idiosyncrasies were all fully rela tedhow he rather thrived upon arse nic but give up the ghost at Paris green. From this inspection of this ab sorbing work we rose with a distinct impression that Presidents may be made but entomologists are born. Doubtless some Texas Congressman shipped a ton or so of this Pub. Doc. to his constituents. As the worms de voured the cotton the constituents devoured the book, and this year as soon as the worm appeared he was f'one for. COTTON MARKET.

TAILOR MADE AND CUSTOM CUT i .1? J ew.Catch N C Roe and Cut Herrings. Clothing during the present month compels us to cut deeDer and dnmr fntn all prices the profits are all yours J ( wu EFFECT: We have reached the point where our rhals and comnetitors darn not follow us. and make the unaualifled assertion that we sell the finest "tailor made clothing" at lower prices than any other house in the State: JSEVl AWVEttTISEMENTS. We are told that the Gospel is los ing its power, that the ship of Zion is going to i wreck. Let us take one illustration of the continued vitality and irresistible force of the truth as , it is in Jesus. Fifty years ago the Jeejee Islanders were cannibals. Now they are conspicuously a Christian people and besides supporting the Gospel among themselves, they con-' tribute $20,000 a year to Foreign Mis- j sious. This fact is wgrtk a thousand Argument of infidel. . i SALE OF LAND.-On Friday the 12th dav of SeDteinhr. 1o9n I win sell at public auction at the court nonse aoor. in Kaieign, Wake county.
