MANUFACTURING. The great need of the city, is manufacturing. A city of residences is well enough if all che citizens are rich, or own a sufliciency of stocks and bonds to produce an income equal to their annual demands, but this cannot be. Only a very small per cent of the population of any city or section possess enough to yield them a support. Then it is the in terest of those owning property to so so encourage and support manu facturing that those who do not own an income in property may be fur nished the most advantageous in vestment for their labor, from which to derive a support. No line of manufacturing general ly to be found, furnishes a larger yield to the laboring classes, and at the same time so certain a profit to manufacturers, as tobacco. The labor and skill materializes, or capi talizes, as readily in tobacco manu facturing as in any line we now think of, and it is about all of strictly home origin. Our farmers who raise a million pounds of tobacco bring it to market and get $100,000 for it. The manufacturer buys it and adds $300, 000 worth of labor. He sells it, and outside of his own profit, turns loose $400,000; to the extent of which sum the cemmunity has been benefited and enriched. But somebody says, O; well, that is all right, I have heard that before. And so you may, but are we acting as though we real ized its troth? In order for manu facturing to get a start in a commu nity it is necessary for that commu nity to give it a supporting encour agement. A certain amount of local support is essential in every line of business. We knew a skilled plug tobacco manufacturer to locate in a town of about 1,000 inhabitants on account of his wife's health. He naturally kembarked in a plug facto tory, but soon found he had to move his factory elsewhere, or fail, on ac count of the absence of the necessary local patronage and support. We have some factories in the city, but should have ten times the number, and the grocerymen should patronize them because much of the pay the oparatives receive is spent for gro ceries. For the same reason the dry goods men, the druggists, the doc tors, the lawyers and everybody else; that the patronage may be recipro cated by the operatives. No commu nity can be j truly) prosperous where the laboring classes are not profitably employed. Raleigh should wake up along this line. We should stick together and help ourselves by helping each other. Those who have capital should in vest it in profitable enterprises at home, and avoid the painful expers ience of seeing it go up in smoke in some distant "Loom." Hat She Killed Herself. Cleveland, O., July 3. Mies Ollie Caulfield, daughter of A. S. Caulfiekl, a wealthy contractor, disappeared yesterday . and her parents believe that she has killed herself. She is seventeen .years old, well educated and a good musician. She has been very despondent since the death of her lover, Walter Calhoun, who died two days before the day set for their wedding. Vigorous search has been instituted, bnt no trace of her has yet peen found. A Famous Tree. The Louisville Courier-Journal. In eonvcrBatiou with some friends at the Willard the other night, the Hon. John Young Brown spoke of a famous oak tree in Webster county that was from 1811 till 1SGQ the object that marked the corner of Henderson, Union and Hopkins counties. The tree has a history. About the begin ning of this century two men and three women came iuto Kentucky from North Carolina. The men were the brothers Harpe, Micajah and Wiley. The elder was a man of gigan tic statue, rawboned. muscular and athletic; the younger rather small in size, but very agile in his movements and hardy of physical constitution. Both were iiendish in disposition, passionate, ferocious and blood thirsty. Robbery was their trade and murder their amusement. The wo men who accompanied them were their wives "Big" Harp, as the elder was called, having two, and "Little11 Harpe, the younger one. A few days after their advent into Kentucky on the upper Green river they murdered a man named Langford, for no reason that was ever discovered except their passion for shedding human blood. They were apprehended for the crime and lodged iu jail at Danville, from which they managed to escape. Soon after they murdered a small mill boy in Adair county, son of Colonel Tra bue. Pursuing their way to western Kentucky, they murdered in succes sion three men Dooley, Gilmore and Hudgeon, Finally they murdered a whole family of women and children named Stigall and a guest of the family, one Love, and set fire to the building. A posse under the lead of Captain Leeper, a powerful and fear less man, pursued them, and a shot from Leeper's rifle brought down Big" Harpe, near the root of the tree mentioned by Mr. Brown. He was desperately wounded, when Stig all, the head of the family murdered by the miscreants, came up and dis patched him. The younger Harpe escaped, and was afterward appre hended and hanged for a murder he had committed in Mississippi. "Big" Harp's head was severed from his body, and some one, ascending the tree spoken of, then a slender sapling, severed the trunk near the top and, sharpening the standing shaft, struck the head of the dead miscreant on it, where it remained for years. The tree was at, or near the point where the roads from Henderson, fci opkinsville and Morganfield intersect, and the place is called "Harped Head" to this day. Soon after the head was gib beted some one ascended the tree and carved the head of a man under Harpe's head, and the effigy yet re mains. About four years ago the tree was struck with Mghtning, and nearly all its branches destroyed; some months ago it was again stricken with lightning and the current set it a fire, and all that remains of it is a charred trunk, a shaft twenty or thirty feet high, with the carved effigy still plainly to be seen. Like a Man. St. Louis Republic "When General Grant returned to St. Louis after his famous tour around the world," said a Missouriau, "i heard him make a remark which rev moved from mind all the prejudices I ever had against him as the com mander of the federal army of the United States. "He stopped at the Southern hotel, and had a steady stream of callers old friends who had known him in his adversity and his poverty. I was sitting in the parlor one day when an elderly lady called and wanted to see General Grant. She was promptly admitted. ' General," said she, 'I don't sups pose you will remember me, as you have met so many people since I saw you last V "'Madam,' said the general, 'I never yet forgot a friend. Don't you remember the day when some of your people took me out of the gutter, took me to your house and gave me a clean shirt? And don' c you remem ber how you nursed me back to heal : h and strength iuside of two days t I hope you have forgotten all that, but I haven't I never, shall forget it, either.' " The Wiudow in Art and Litera ture. Many a famous pic' urn Las a win dow for its setting. Etoall sending forth the dove from the little cubit wiudow. The mother of Sisera 1 ok ing out at a window as she cried through the lattice, "Why is his chariot so long in coming?" Sister Anne at her watch on top of the tower, who saw only a "great cloud of dust coming this way." Charlotte Corday, ever standing behind prison bars. Is it accident that in fiction all pleasant thine are seen from within, while pain and disappointment lurk in ambush for those who look through the wrong side of the window ? A beggar child feels all the lonelier that she has no part in the Christmas cheer which 6he regards from the outside of a lofty casement. Poor Enoch Arden, tempted by the glowing window of Philip's house, 8 aw framed in that "comfortable square of ruddy light" his happiness and Iub despair. But from "Casa Guidi windows" the mistress of ma gicians looked down upon a little child singing "O Bella Liberta" and "leant upon the music as a theme" for a masterpiece of art. It was in Rpiration that gave the name of The Open Window to the magazine of the Shut-in society. Through it the dear feeble folk catch a glimse of the great, busy world, where their heavy feet may not go. It is like a draught of wine to them. "Look out, not in," is a law of physicial as well as mental hygiene. It is like lifting the lid of Pandora's box. Woes fly out, leaving the bless ings to be counted. Chicago Herald.
