A HORRIBLE SCENE. BY HENRY HAWTHORNE. Several years ago, a friend and myself were out on a bicycle tour through the western states. It was late on our thirteenth day out, and we soon saw we would be unable to reach a town by dark. We had struck some ' rough roads that day, and the only thing for us to do was to camp out. We were just looking around for a proper place, when our attention was arrested by a shout, and I espied a man on horseback beckoning to us. Ie Avas on a slight elevation, and made a striking picture outlined against the sky, his long hair waving and his steed stamping the ground impatiently. We gave him an answering shout, and wheeled up to him. "Evening, gentlemen," said this personage, "come ana aiue witn me; it's late." "Thanky, with pleasure," returned Jim, though by the glance he gave me, I saw he was asking himself the same question I was propounding: Why did he ask us to dine, when, as far as he knew, we might just have finished our meal, without first mak- mg inquiry ,9 Still it is well to let good enough alone. Although our grip sucks were full, we doubted not we would enjoy a better meal at a stationary abode. "Do you see the light on the fur ther hill, gentlemen? lhats my place. Come!" Saying this, he gal lopped off, leav ing us to wheel after a very uncere monious way of conducting strangers to one's abode! It was only a half hour's spin, and 1 Til 1 1 11?.1J. soon we reacneu tne uesignateu ngm. It shone from a window in a very comfortable looking house, half hid den among trees, and on the side of a pretty hill. Seeing no signs of life, we propped our bicvcles against the mansion, and walked in at the open door. To our astonishment, we found our host seated at a table, making way with the victuals spread before him. By this time, however, we were becoming acquainted with our "friend," so without ado, took seat, and fell to. The courses amazed us. Such vines! Such dainties! Were we in a dream? Famed Delmonico couldn't have pleased us better. Everything of the best, and yet no signs of help. Truly marvelous. 'Here, try some of this wine. I call it nectar from the foundation of nature," said our host, handing us a flask of wine, the color of mahogany. Jim filled my glass and then his, and put his lips to it. The next second it had gone, and he filled again. I pressed his foot, to make him careful not to go too far, but the second went at a gulp, and for the third time he filled his glass. Seeing this, I determined not to be tempted, so kept free from the dangerous draught. When Jim had swallowed his third potion, he seemed to change. I can't tell just how, but he appeared another person altogether. I was becoming alarmed, and hid the flask to prevent him going any further. However, he seemed to have had enough, and paid no attention to me, but regarded our host with a peculiar look, half fear, half worship. I realized at once that he was under a spell, and attempted to bring him to himself, but he never even looked at me. He seemed to have forgotten that he ever knew me. inia was queer, but I made up my mind to let him play his own cards, only inter feriug if matters required my help. "Take a cigar, sir; make yourself comfortable," pressed the stranger. and rose to leave the table, with a half glance at Jim, who at once fol lowed him. This was interesting, What were his intentions? I had been battling against a half fear I enter tained that our heart was a mono maniac, so I intended to keep care ful watch of all his proceedings. I therefore lighted the cigar I had taken, and followed Jim, who enter ed a cosy sittinff-room, where he sat down. Mr. IJeene (I. found out after wards.that that wag his name) then offered me a chair and left the room for a moment. I took advantage of this to says "Look here Jim, yen want to take care how you follow all this fellow's order's or requests. I am afraid he is not in his right mind, and you might get into trouble." "Oh! he i jioble! perfect! What makes him so long? I wish' he would come back," said Jim, to my horror, and as if talking to hjmsejf ru:her than me. At this moment Sfr. Keene entered. He held in his hand a long black case. 1 bad almost finished the cigai I Roxboro, North was smoking, and was aware of an awfully dazed, sleepy feeling, and, on trymg to stand, I was so giddy I tumbled right back again into my chair. All my vigilance failed me, and what happened after this I saw, but only didn't seem to realize. Mr. Keene opened the box, and I noticed (with no alarm) that it was a surgeou's case. After feeling the edge of several of the knives, he picked out one, a long, narrow, cold looking piece of steel, and said: "Now, sir," (addrt-ssing Jim) "I want to show you how absurd the view generally taken of life is. Doc tors hold that one cannot live with out a heart! I know better. I shall now make a hole in your ch?st, and remove your heart. When I have closed the wound, you will be the same as before, as far as life is con cerned; only, you will never love." I heard all this as in a dream, and saw Jim at once begin to take off his coat and shirt as if eager for its trial. When he reached the skin, the monomauiac smiled exnltingly, and brought the lamp close up. I then saw him, without a tremor, make an incision down the center of Jim's breast, aud two more at nearly right angles to the first aud towards the left. Jim never moved a musclr. but kept his eyes fixed on the man's, who never looked at the knife or operation, hut only at Jim, anu with a searching, blood-ourlins: look, too that made me shiver evu in thv state I was. When the three cuts were finished, he pulled back the layer of flesh and skin, ana there revealed the throb bing heart of my poor friend! "You see now of what little use the heart is," said this frightful beiug, "All it does is to throb, throb, throtx Now when it is removed, you not ouly don't die, but live as loug as you please, for you have no heart to get damaged. It is neces sary 1 should put you to sleep first, to ensue the perfect working of my plan." He then lit a strong smelling herb of some sort, and made a few passes over Jim, and he instantly shut his eye3 and slept. The fumes of the herb made me feel worse than before, and though I was wild to rise and save my com panion, 1 tele myself perfectly help less drugged. This fiendish monster then selected a very small snarp Kniie, anu ap proached helpless Jim for the final operation. My eyes nearly started from my head as I watched the knife bury itself in Jim s breast, and the next moment, with a fiendish laugh, the mouomaniac wrenched oat, drip ping with gore, and still pulsating, my boon companion's heart! Just at this moment a door in the further side of the room opened, and a woman of about twenty, dressed in a riding haoit, looked in. A scream of terror burst from her lips as her gaze met the awful scene I have tried to describe, and with a motion quick as thought she depriv ed him of the knife he still held, and looked him steadilv in the eye. He laughed at first, aud pointed with glee at the heart he still held, but soon looked grave, and as the girl's eyes never fliuched, he looked away, and soon sank in a chair un conscious. "Come sir! awake! see what has happened," she cried to me, and made a pass. I staggered up, and groaned at the sigh I had been un able to prevent. Jim was, of course, stone dead. I turned to the girl, with a look of bewilderment. She led me to a chair, and said: "It is awful, frightful. "My father" (pointing to the actor) "lost his reason some years ago, while practicing surgery, and was kept in an asylum till pronounced cured. Since that he and I have lived nlone out here. I have never seen any symptoms of his disease returning in all that time, now three years. Oh! how could he," (with a frightened glance at the corpse) "how could he do so! and she hurst out crying. I tried to comfort her as well as I knew how, but she soon dried her eyes, and said: "How unfortunate of me to be away today of all times. Come, help me to remove him. I. shuddered at the thought of touching my poor' friend in his pranged condition, hut we soon had him but and lying on a couch, with a sheet over hia,' "My father Is a powerful inesmen zer, and that is how he does so mnch harm when excited' said she, sor- rowf ully. She is now my wife. Her father is dead, having killed himself by try ing the same operation on himself he executed on Jim, before he could be got to an asylum.

GOUN HOME FIRST: Carolina, Wednesday Evening THE PEOPLE'S' DEMANDS, 4The phrase, "the people," has been so much abused by. demagogues and make-believe reformers we hesitate to nse it. The heartless and soulef s and unprincipled demagogue has sounded out his trumpet tones of hypocrisy to "the people" until one fears to say anything about "the people" for fear he will be classed with that class of howlers who pro pose to run through on the feilly and hollow appeal to "the people," - So we do not use the phrase now in its modern political significance. The modern meaning of "the people" includes only that restless, dissatis fied' class, that .have made up their minds to accept nothing and be con tent with nothing long at a time, however near, rf it meets, their de mands or whims. That part of the people' can not be content, though manna should cover the earth every night as it lay before the Israelites of old. But aside from this mod ern significance, the phrase "the peo ple," has a broader meaning; and it is in this broader meaning that wc write. ' The people, the sure enough people, those who bear the brunt and heat of life in every department of human endeavor, are fast reaching the con clusion that inasmuch as a public office is a public trust, the man who holds that office must be a worthy and faithful public servant. The time will come, and we believe that right soon, when the man who ex pects to hold office must be a man of upright life. And the sooner all political parties learn this sign of the times and act upon it, the better it will be for them. Not much longer will the people, and when we say "the people," we mean those that think for themselves from the highest to the lowest walks of life not much longer, we say, will the people swal low whole any and every man be cause he is put up before them by the political party they wish - to see m power. If the Democratic party would suc ceed in the coming campaign let men be put before, the people that have not been consumed long ago by the itch for office. Let men be put before the people who are tall and sun-crowned in the estimation of their fellow-citizens men who are known to be upright and honest in all the relations of life. In days of old the office sought the man, we are told, and not the man the office. The people are about ready to demand that such shall be the rule again. We do not wish to be understood as intimating that because a man wants office he is not trustworthy; but it does not make a very gflbd impression upon tne people for a man to make too big a fuss about it, if he does want an office. Let those who assay to ' manipulate public affairs and make slates for conven tions see to it that their men are worthy to be trusted. The people have given no decided expressions tor the demands inti mated, but they are thinking on these lines, and the man who can not shojv up a good record and a well- rounded character will soon have it intimated that the office does not want him no matter how mnch he may desire the office. -Democrat. ' ; Setting an Example for Texas. In 1890 in " Cleveland county, North Carolina, at a country village of fifty people, away from any rail road, two farmers who were brothers began the making of a farm imple ment and supplying the adjoining neighbors with this new cotton and corn cultivator.. It was, of course, simple in plan, practical and useful, and the ownors of the "little factory" soon found that it paid better than raising seven cent cotton and forty cent corn. 'The factory was soon moved to the railroad at Lattimore, They were forced to add to it three times. - Agencies have been established in other states. They write the Trade that they will establish two branch factories in other States, one of which will probably find its way to Texas.

A rather strange case has just de veloped near King's Mountain, says the .Charlotte News. Twelve 'years ago.a Mr. O'Neal, of Boston, eame South for his health. He visited several Southern resorts, and wound up his tour at Sparrow Springs, a wild and picturesque resort near King's Mountain. One day while walking through the woods he passed a rough . place, where a bold bluff dropped off into a ravine, and there he found a vein which he instantly recognized asv be ing exceedingly rich in platinum. His stay at the place had about ended, and he hastily made an exami nation of the ore, and left for his Boston home, intending to return soon and work the place. After he got home various family misfortunes transpired which kept him there until a few days ago. He marked the place, and when he returned the first of this week he had no trouble in locating it. He has secured a lease of the land with privilege to work, and has started' in earnest. The find is said to be very rich. Platinum is about the color of sil ver and is the heaviest of the metals. It is harder than iron, undergoes changes in the air, resists the actions of acids and alkalies, is capable of being rolled into very thin sheets; and is largely used in mechanical arts, especially in the .manufacture of electricity, which has caused its market value to go up. It is worth nearly as much as gold and never gets lower in price than $15 per ounce. The metal was first discover ed in the mines of Choco, Peru, by Charles Wood, assay-master of Jamai ca. Jt has since been found in Brazil, near Carthagena, in Antio quia, in St. Domingo, and on the Ural mountains. The fact that a rich mine of this valuable metal has been found In North Carolina is one to be proud of, and puts the Old North State a long jump forward in the mineral line, v What -Good Night" Means. There is a tender sweetness about some of our common phrases of affec tionate greeting, simple and un- obstrusive as they are, which falls like dew upon the heart, "Good night!" The little one lisps it as, gowned in white, with shining face and hands, with prayers said, she toddles off to bed. Sisters and brothers exchange the wish, parents and children, friends and friends. Familiar use has robbed it of its full significance. We repeat it automatic ally. But consider. We are as voyagers, putting off from time to time unknown seas.

As an evidence of the "deadly influence" cited wherever the Baloon obtains a foothold, let me note the case of a village not a hundred; iniles from New" York. Ou the pictures que banks of a stream in this village is a saw-mill where a number of workmen are constantly employed, and their cottages, generally with a bit of garden attached, are mostly cougrtgated near-by. The whole neighborhood had bee -kept clear of saloons by the efforts of a large property owner, not a prohibition advocate, but simply in the interest of order aud good reputation. In the hot weather the workmen had pails of cool water from a neighboring well, with an infusion of bran, or vinegar and molasses; and they went home sober, cultivated their gardens, slept soundly, and worked peaceably. There came a time, however, when "politics" enter ed and obtained control. Restric tions were removed, and the saloon flourished. One was started directly across the road from the saw-mill, and became the resort of a number of the men. The result was soon seen. Drinking, drunkenness, and disorder took the place of industry, peace, and prosperity. The cottage homes were neglected. "Oh! if fire would only burn it up!" said one poor woman who had seen all her hopes vanish with the advent of a liquor saloon into the vicinity of her husband's work-shop. She knew his weakness, and had been so very happy to have him find employment away from the tempta tions of his former life. The place is all changed in three short years. The saw-mill is still there, the cottages are there, and so, alas! is the saloon. The cottages are, many of them, forlorn and neg lected. Out of one of them a man chased his wife, not long since, in a drunken frenzy. Well might she say of the saloon'. - "Oh! if fire would only burn it up!" And looking first upon one picture and then upon the other, cau we call the saloon any thing but deadly? And since its puri fication is impossible, must we not work aud pray for its extermination! From "A Deadly Influence;" De- morest's for June. Little Ruth Is Alright. An unpleasant story has been printed in newspapers in various parts of the country to" the effect that little Ruth Cleveland, who is now with her mother in this city, visiting at the home of Mrs. Cleveland's mother, Mrs. Perrine, is deaf and dumb; worse yet, that her mental powers are of a very low order. The story has been printed with much circumstantial detail, and prominence was given to it yesterday in a New York paper. It has become a mat ter of such .general gossip that it warrented direct inquiry on the sub ject in order that it might be stopped if it were untrue. Mrs. Cleveland's step-father, Mr. Perrine, when . told the story today, was naturally indig nant. He said: "That story is utterly without foundation. Ruth has the posses sion of all her faculties and. she is more than ordinarily bright and quick-witted for a child of her age. The story is not only false, but is maliciously and brutally false wound ing the most sensitive spot one could find in a mother's nature." A reporter who had occasion to call at the Perrine home this after noon heard the victim of this cruel canard prattling to her nurse in a way that bore out Mr. Perrine's denial most effectually.
