Having recently put our mill in thor ough repair and in the. best order for HIS MOTHER'S SONGS. Beneath the hot midsummer su.it The men had marched all day ; And now beside a rippling stream Upon the grass they lay. Tiring of games and idle jests, As swept the hours along. They called to one who mused apart, . "Come, friend, give us a gong.'' "I fear I cannot please," he said ; "The only songs I know Are those my mother used to sing Tor Be long years ago. " "Sing one of those," a rough voice cried, "3 heres none but true men here ; To every mother's sou of us j A mother's soot's are dear." Then sweetly rose the singer's voice Amid unwonted calm, "Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower gf the Lamb V "And shall I fear to own his cause" The very stream was stilled. And hearts that never throbbed with fear "With tender thoughts were Idled. Elided the song, the singer said, As to Ids feet he rose, "Thanks to you all, my friends ; good night, God grunt us sweet repose." "Sing usone more,"the captaiubegged The soldier bent his head. Then glancing 'round, with smiling lips, "You'd join with me," he said. "We'll sing this old familiar air, Swoet as the bugle call, 'All hail the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall.' " Ah 1 wonderous was the old tune 's spell As on the sinper sang : Man after man fell into line, And loud the voices rang. The songs are done, the camp is still, Naught but the stream is heard : But ah 1 the depths of every soul By those old hymns we stired. And up from many a bearded lip, In whispers soft and low, Kises the prayer the mother taught The boy long years ago. The Fish Industry Poaad 9tt An Iuipraremeat, Extract from a Rejtrt of Com. Wcrtfi. The North Carolina fisheries now yielding a million of dollars income every year, are capable of much, im provement and expansion. A great deal .is gaid about the ignorance and prejudies of fishermcttj and their perseveranee'in "the suicidal policy of fishing with' cleKtruciive appara tus, which isall the time lessening their annual catch. This may be true with fi-'ti- j inen of other Sr:fs, one now plants 500 bushels. Our people do not know the proper meth- ods.Newllivergives an annualsnpply to Wilmington amounting to thirty or forty thousand dollars. Every dollar's worth is hauled forty miles overland, over as sand? a road as ew Hanover and Onslow can pro duce. These are as tine oysters as cau lie found anywhere audarespc ciallv marketable. Ten times as many can be produced there bv planting, and they ire not produced simply lo calise there is no line of transportation. Myrtle Grove Sound, below v imungton five vears ago produced four or five nuudred dol lars' worth of oysters, audthis year the sales will reach probably $5,000 all owing to the dealers' business built up by W. E. Davis S Son, who buy all the oysters the people bring to town opened, and are prepared to take care of them with tubs, ice, &e. Connecticut, five years ago, bought nearly all her oysters, but now makes her entire home supply and exports largely, her product yielding 072,875 pt-r aunnni. 11AEUH8, The yield of herr'ng in the Albe marle (fresh water) isheiies is suffi cient to require an annual supply of 40,000 barrels. All of these are home-made. If of pine, all the con tents is soon permeated by the re sinous flavor peculiar to that wood, and none but the pooler class of people become consumers. If the barrel is of cypress ant the heads of pine, then several indies of fish at either end are siinilaily affected. But of whatever woul tiey may be made these home-made barrels are not capable of hoMing the brine over summer. Wheait escapes the fish become rusty, ad the value at once tails. Howevenhort the New England crop of salt tsli may be our fishermen are unablt to take ad vantage of a high market, owing to leaky ban-els, and are forced to sell, losing sometimes in one season, twenty-five rer cent. The p.-epara-tion of the mullet catch is at- crude i si ix'sesiiilr- if! i hi -;V--,. ' What Can We Eihibit 1 A'e'C U?nie, Journal. The question, "what cau I exhib it," is asked many times a day by our callers and correspondents. The reason prompting this inquiry is that most men have a notion that they have but one or two things worth sending to Raleigh. In this they are much mistaken. Suppose we classify those things which are most eoinuiou first, and then sug gest others. It has been proposed that the citizens of Craven, Onslow, Jones, Carteret, Beaufort and other eofinties should unite in putting up a building for their joint occupancy. By framing this of native woods with the bark carefully left on, we should have a very pretty and yet cheaply built place. On all the posts cards could be placed telling where these timbers grew. In that way onr gum, cypress, cedar, holly, oak, hickory, persimmon, dogwood, maple, ash, pine and other timber trees could be used to good advant age. Next would eome the several kinds of rock for building or lime burning; tine samples from every marl bed; phosphate rock; every kind of clay ; also collections of fos sil bones, teeth, shells, petrifactions and such curious things as are dug up every now and then from marl pits. The boys and girls living along the ocean beach could collect all sorts of sea shells and marine curiosities that would be very at tractive if properly arranged. Next we ought to have specimens of every kind of grain. Vegetables, fruits, and cotton raised on the farm. If every fanner in the counties named would carefully cultivate this year all that usually does Itest on his mound. then select the very finest speei mens.the aggregate collection would beat that of all other parts of the State. As for the women, God bless them ! they can beat the men all hollow, in making our show a fine one. We would like to see exhibit ed there splendid pickles, which arc the pride of many a household, the rs of prer"d fruit, be p &- formatiou pertaining to the same a may be ol service to said Committee- iu deciding as to the admission of the case. Such admissions to be regulated, as far as practicable, by the population, iu such manner as to equalize the benefits of the In stitution among the various coun ties. 3 Each admission or rejection of an applicant to be a matter of rec ord in a special book, and signed by two or more memlers of said Board or Committee. fi.

Statistics show that blindness is steadily decreasing iu Great Britian. It is thought that the decrease may be fairly attributed to improvement in the surgical treatmeut of eye af fections, and to the diminished prev alence among children of the small pox. The copper workers of the French village of Durfort inhale for twelve hours daily an atmosphere laden with copper dust, and their skin and hair become discolored with copper, while the metal can be detected in their secretions and excretions, and after death in their bones. Yet, ac cording to a report by two investi gators to the French Academy of Sciences, the copper appears to have no intiucuce lqion the health of these people. They neither suffer from special trade diseases, nor are they protected against cholera, typhoid fever or other affections.

Morion X t o. and esjiecilly where the" nshiug population is a floating one, but I do not believe the fishermen of North Carolina are much less calla ble or willing to receive new ideas than the agricultural population. Water is a very different element from land, in which the forces of na ture are forever at work, and a per son able to make his livuig out of it year by year is necessarily a man of some sense. No day nor hour passes that his ingenuity is not call ed upon to devise ways and means t overcome something which is try ing to obstruct him. Fishermen are slow to catch onto the new &p-, paratus for the reason that they act ually know so little positively, defi nitely about fishes' habits, that they do not know whether on that point or this shoal the new fixture will be a success. The only important rad ical change which has taken place in North Carolina fishing appara tus for many years, lies in the in troduction of the pound net, improp erly called the Dutch net. Eight years ago but two were in the State, now many hundreds exist, and they are increasing from year to year a hundred to three hundred jer cent. While the farmers have fain, and meet at churches, public meetings, &c, and converse and compare progress, the fishing population as a rule living on the water, in out-of-the-way places, meet less often and rarely at fairs or exhibits. Since the estabiisnment of the Fish Com mission (within ten years) a careful study of the habits of fishes is being made, which is being made public in the annual reports. The new facts taken in conjunction with illus trative exhibits of models, photo graphs, machinery for manufacture, &c, will tend greatly to put the fish erman on a par with the rest of the world and give him his pnier show ing. THE OYSTER INDUSTRY, The oyster business of North Car olina is small, and yet. the State has 3,000 square miles of salt, fresh, and brackish water, of every degree of salinity, temperature, depth, and quality. The oystennen of New Eng. land have the ice to contend with, and have moved a great part of their trade South, iu order to have aii un failing and constant supply. The business of Iliggins & Co., dealers in Boston, amounting to 1,000 a day, is mostly in Norfolk. The great demand out West is exhansting the supply ami increasing vvalnes. Our future is great. There are vast quantities of oys ters in onr waters that have never j been distill led, and by planting the supply can be made tcufvld. No be obtaiuvd North t ; na haiiOfes anuuallv 3,308,000 pounds, valned at f 40,000, she racking second n the list of States. The barrels are of pine, and the fish do not realize well lo calise none but the poor will buy when the flavor becomes that of pine. What we need is, a machine made barrel that will hold brine, and thus enable bur people to get a full market price. The demand for barrels for the shipment. of vegeta bles or truck from that section is about 200,000. These, with the bar rels necessary for the fisheries open a good field for a mairafuctory. Around Plymouth wed Edenton, cypress, white-oak and sweet-gum are very abundant As the trees stand, they are of no real value, but converted info barilla tho timber may be tinned to mutual account to the land owners, the manufacturer, the fisherman and trucker. Along the Boanoke for miles the birch grows by the millions of just the proper size for hoops. Herring and mullets packed in barrels of these tastelessand abund ant woods, barrels of oak, sweet gum and cypress, would happily il lustrate the ideaof the jiPogrBssive developments involved in a fishery exhibit. Such an exlibit should contain a complete alcoholic or other presentable collection of all repre sentative fishes, photographs of the modes of fishing, the prepared pro ducts, implements of capture, and finally, as much as pttsshV. to illus trate fish culture with working apparatus. Rulei for Application of Pardou. The Clerk of the Superior Court has received from Mr. ft. L. Dudley, Private Secretary to tie Governor, the following rules foi application which must govern all applicants : 1st. Every application for pardon must Ire made to the Governor in writing, signed by the party -convicted, or by some persm in his be half; and every such application shall contain the (jtouni and reax on upon which the, Executive par don is itsked, and shall le m every ca.se accompanied by a certified copy of the indictment, undthe verdict and judgment of the Corirt thereon. ( The (We, section 3336.) 2. No application for pardon will le considered unless th reanom for such application are fully set forth, together with the substance of the testimony upon which the party was convicted, the correctness of which must be certified to by the prosecu ting officer, or reasons ahown why the certificate of said officer cannot ueats, and. the variety of things their skilled hands prepare so dain tily for tickling the palates of their families. There are ladies iu Ncw I'erne that can cure the, skins of wild fowls and birds of lesser size and work them in many beautiful forms. Others could prepare her bariums showing the flora of this country. In short, to whatever they have directed their attention, and acquired skill iu preparing, that let them show. It will all eonut. Everything manufactured bv ma chinery or by band ought also to foriu part of the exhibition. Mauls, axe helves, ox bows, chairs seated with corn shucks, andsuch simple home-made things should have a place as well as Captain Gray's wooden plates, or cotton seed oil and meal. We have named a good manj' things, but have only begun the list. Tar, pitch, turpentiue, ros in, honey, . beeswax ; but why con tinue ? Let our readers fill it out themselves aud then legiu at once to prepare to make a big show. The North Carolina Insane Asylum The ConditiaM for Admission, ".For general information, we pub lish the following as many persons are not familiar with the conditions of admission: The dividing line, established ac cording to law, between the North Carolina Insane Asylum at ltaleigh and the Western North Carolina In sane Asylum at Morgan ton, ru from the Virginia line south with the Western boundary lines of Rock ingham, Guilford, Randolph, Mont gomery and Richmond counties to the. South Carolina line. AH appli cations from counties west of said line to be made to Western Asylum. The following rules have Wen adopted by the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Insane Asy lum : 1. All applications now on file, to 1k renewed under the new Act of the General Assembly and recorded as reeeived,stating name, date,coun ty and what disposition is made of the same, and the corresiondeiit of the applicant notified. 2. All admissions to be iu the in terest of the Institution, merits of the case and the protection of soeie- y. 3. Acute cases, with good pros-, peels of cure, to he admitted prompt ly on application, making room by dixchargc, if necessary, of some com paratively harmless and iuvurahte case, from the same or some other county. 4. AH other applications to be re ferred to the Board of Directors or Executive Committee, with such iq- conneetodwitu th;Urjuor trade, We present here a eend"table, showing the relation of consumption in lss., as compared with the aver age ot the three years ended June 30, 1878: Annual average for 3 years ended 30, .1878 Distilled spirits, 57,111 982 gallons: Wine. 19.SI'7.T r:d. Ions; malt liquors, 310,053,253 gal lons. Annual average for 3 years ended June 30. 188,3 DistilUd spirits, 70,- (02,003 gallons; wine, 25,885,492 gal Ions; malt liquors, 555,375, 054 gah Ions. lucreA.se irt cent, on distil!; ed liquors, 34.40; on wine, 30.05; on malt liquors, 77-81. Professor Elliott, of the Treasury Department, estimates the total population in 1883 at 54,103,000. Cjon that basis we have a ior cap ita consumption of 10.18 gallons of malt liquors, 1.42 gallons of distill ed spirits, a fraction below a half gallon of wine. Beer, however, is not the only en emy of spirit drinking, for we find coffee exerting a powerful influence iu the .same direction. In 1878 the consumption was 309,957,493 pounds or 0.51 pounds per capita, while in 188.3, it reached 515,027,827 pounds 9.52 pounds per capita, an increase of 40 per cent. Coffee loses 10 jx r cent, in roasting, and making this allowance, and estimating 1 pound of coffee to ten gallons of infusion, we have a consumption of that de liotful stimulant of 16 kUoii jier. capita annually. Tea is out of the race, its stimu lating properties being less marked than coffee, In 178, the consump tion of tea was 05,300,44!) pounds or 1.30 pounds per capita, while in 1883, it was 70,771,225 pounds or 1.31 lbs per capita, equal to 8 gallons of the infusion. Evidently the middle classes of stimulants are growing in favor. The editor of the Boston Glohe writes of women : "They are the laughing sex. Notice them in con versation, either with their own or the other sex. Their faces are in. variably wreathed with smiles, and they laugh incessantly. Is it habit, or is it the result of a more highly organized nervous system what the superior scientist contemptuously calls a "hysterical organization" or is it the woman's inborn desire to please finding expression by seem ing interested and amused, or is it that a woman really is moro easily amused than a man f Perhaps it is a combination of all four. At any rate it forms as distinctive a line between the sexes as any of the common peculiarities which are sup posed to characterize one sex or the other,"7 foots up more than ?508,W0.' A 10 per cent, assessment foi political purposes raises a campaign fund of !?50,800, andsuch a fund it the hands of an army of deputies, gagers,&e.. rushing hero and theie over tin country, is a powerful kser to keep life iu the Republican party in this State. Without doubt tliewhole sys tem ought to be repealed. It is a matter oi rue nrst conscience. These "revenuers ought b be alM.l ished and the people ouglt to bo ex. empt from their interfoo ioe iu our elections. An Open Letter, 3fr. S. G.

The otherday, in ordertoquiet ap prehensions as to his financial stabil ity, day Gould sent for a well known banker and made an exposition of the securities he had in his safe. They amounted to a total of 10,. 500,000 in face valhe, of which ?77, 000,000 is in stocks and .33,0O0,00O iu bonds. It is evident that Mr. Gould does not have to stint him self to cold lunches, as docs Russell Sage. f ife two beautifully finished in strnments, by a London maker of high repute, indicated a tempera tare about nineteen degrees below the true one. Iu addition to faulty construction, another source of er lor in spirit thermometers .s the condensation of part of the spirits in the upper end of the tube, and in: Kae states that the eiror pro dueed iu this way may amount to eight degrees or miu e, The chief sigual officer has under taken an investigation into the prog less of waves of ..!. i o,.v..o ti... . ..... .,, (. t;ji- United States. Among the results obtained thus far, it hasleeu ascer tained that, taking Fort Assijia lKine in Montana as a startiti" jHiinf, the four cold waves of No vemWr, 1881, averaged ten hours iu reaching the signal service sta tions at St. Vincent, Minn,, Huron.

The Sweedish Government, ever ready to extend scientific aid to the industries of the country, protvc. establishing a fetation, a station in the North of Sweden for the study of the native plants and the diseases of crops in that section. The French Association for the Advancement of Science has recei v 1 ed a bequest of 20,000. of which' the interest is to encourage research concerning the antiquity of man. Some English scent ists have boon trying to explain w hy it is that per sons who in come lost iu a fog, or who are for any reason unable to see their way, usually walk in a cir cle instead of following a straight line. Mr. W. harden thinks that the cause may le found in a difference in the strength of the legs, the stronger of the two outwalking the other when noteontrobHl bv the will. In confirmation of this view, Mr. C. H. Darwin recounts some evocri. incuts in which several school bos were blindfolded and told to walk straight ahead, when the "righ lej: gcd' ones circled to the left and the "left legged" ones to the riirht. ex mating- t:.e hours of employment of minors under sixteen, and to enact a law prohibiting tho employment of children under ten in any factory or manufacturing establishment, and limits the hours of children uh der sixteen and woim u in factories to eight actual woi kir.g hours, with no power of special contract. A third bill provides for sanitary it-g-ulationscf workshops ami maim factories. The fourth legalizes trades unions, provides for their formation and defines the meaning of thv word "conspiracy" n, connection with trades union. The sixth provides for the establishment of" a Slate Bu reau cf Labor Statistics. Senator Blair has also introduced a bill into the Senate of the United States es tablishing a labor bin call as one of departments ol the general (ioxt-rn-menf. The various luW organiza tions throughout the country have further demanded that th.. .. of the woi king peopl,. should U- rec ognized by establishing- a labor de partment of the United States, pre sided over by a secretary. A wcll known journalist, Mr. J). ;. Cr.ly, takes a still further step and de mauds that our whole Cabinet le reorganized. Why should a peace ful republic, he says, have in its councils a perpetual Secretary oT War aud Secretary of Navy In stead of these Secretaries, have a Secretary of Public Defense, with two bureas for Army and Navy.

The l'st way is to make a pile of corn on tl:e-obs, -fleet nail y scorch it and then give the affected hogs free access to it. This remedy was discoxered by E.
