RALEIGH, N.C..JAN. 2 1, 1 M).'
PAVE THE SIDEWALKS.
The sidewalks for the past few days
have been very soft generally. In
many parts of the city they have
been almost impassable. Citizens
have said to us as we meet them
slushing through the mud, 'Why
don't you pitch into the side walks ?"
A gentleman said last night as he was
picking his way along, trying to get
home, "you ought to pitch into them
a full half column." We have been
. into them shoe deep for the past week
too much for our comfort, and have
felt like saying some rough things as
we have had to wade through the
mud, but have refrained, feeling that
it would do no good; but, we will say
this much however, we do not believe
that another city in the United States
as large as Raleigh can be found,
where the sidewalks are so generally
neglected as they are in Raleigh.
Something decisive should be done.
The citizens of the capital of the State
should demand it.
The city can put down a brick walk
four feet wide at an expense of less
than $1,200 per mile. Why not do it ?
THE ALL ABSORBING ISSUE.
The lottery question has become
the all absorbing question in Louis
iana. The two parties heretofore
struggling for supremacy are divided
on this question to such an extent,
that we should not be surprised to
see all other issues lost sight of and a
fusion effected between the factions
of the two political parties agreeing
on this question. The lottery demo
crats are as bitter against theanti
lottery democrats as they are against
the republicans, and the same is true
with the republicans. As the cam
paign advances, this question be
comes more prominent and all absorb
ing. And this is not to be wondered
at, for it is a struggle for life with the
lottery business. There is not much
doubt bat at the lottery democrats
and lottery republicans will join
forces, and the anties in both parties
will be force 1 to do the same ; so that
in the. next election we shall have the
anomalous spectacle in Louisiana,
of a great state choosing its officers
and law makers on the sole issue, in
volving the contiauance of a mam
moth gambtiug concern. The fight
will be the nearest, a clear cut strng
gle of virtue and intelligence against
ignoranee and vice that has ever been
witnessed in this country, if not in
the entire civilized or!d. With the
ballot in the hands of corruption and
ignoranee, liberty and republican
government are in imminent peril;
if not certain of overthrow.
FLUIDS AT MEALS.
It was formerly considered injuri
oua to take fluids with the meals,
owing to the facts that the juice of
the stomach was thereby dilated and
the digestion of the food retarded A.
noted Russian physician has conduc
ted extensive experiments to deter
mine the effect of taking fluids with
the food, and gives as the results of
his researches that "on the whole the
widely spread custom of taking fluids
daring or just before one's meals,
proves to be rational and f ally justi I
fled strictly on scientific grounds. To '
take fluids with the meals is almost
as important an adjunct to digestion
a the msatieation of oltd food pre
paratory to swallowing it."
Of course the quantity of fluid to
be taken depends on the feeling of
each individnal.
A FUN LOVING SEAL.
The mother seal at the Zoo got
rather pay last Sunday afternoon,
while a large cro vd of ladies, gentle
men. and children was standing by
eagerly watching the baby seal. The
mother seal would watch and see
where the crowd was thickest slide
quietly under the water, come up a
close ac possible to where the crowd
was, and then, with seeiuirglv pure
fun, jump up and splash the water
in such a way as to cover and wet
those standing there, and it kept tl is
sort of fun up all the afternoon. No
matter on which side of tl e bank the
crowd got, the seal would make a
quiet swim under the under the wa
ter, and then, quick as lightning,
show up near the crowd, and get in
its funny business. Cincinnati En
quirer. EFFECT OF MUSIC ON THE
SICK.
In London there is a musical guild
of St. Cecilia which has been having
wonderful experiences among hospit
al patients. It seems that a patient
suffering from insoinuia had been
sent to sleep twice by their music; but
as some doubt about the fact was ex
pressed by a physician in the hospio
al, the choir determined to try theef
feet of their charms uptn a whole
ward and actually succeeded. They
sent four patients out of fourteen in
to sound slumber, and rendered drow
sy all the others, in the shot t space
of twenty minutes. Tn another hos
pital a woman suffering from depres'
sion of spirits, which had deprived
her of the desire to talk for many
weeks, became interested and con
versational under the influence of the
music, while a man suffering from de
lirium tremens was soothed and qui
eted. The experiment is worth try
ing in hospital work. Sheltering

DO YOU KNOW WHY?
Did you ever stop to think of the
innumerable problems presented by
nature ? Every day things are hap
pening about us that are really
strange if one would think about it,
but we generally pass them without
notice as master of fact, everyday
occurances. Do you know why
A squirrel comes down a tree head
first while a cat comes down tail
first ?
A horse gets up on his forelegs first,
while a cow always gets up on her
hindlegs 1
A rabbit never "walks, ' it always
moves by hops and jumps ?
A dog always turns around several
times before lying down?
Cats can see about as well the
darkest night as well as iu day ?
Mushrooms spring up in one night,
while some plants grows only an inch
in a year ?
It takes the century plant years to
grotf'three or four feet hut when the
blossom stalk appears it gro ws several
inches in one day ?
Where one sheep leads, the whole
flock will follow, no matter what the
obstruction, while pigs will scatter
in all directions ?
Some subscribers will paj for their
paper piomptly in advance, while
otbe rs will let accounts run for years
and cheat the Printer in the end ?
