The papers are busily engaged in discussing what shall be the issue for 1884. Some of the ablest and leading journal, snch as the Courier Jurnal and Wilmington Star, are willing to make the leading issue, "tariff reform," while others are anxious to fight it out ou the Hoe of the old fraud, and the rascalities of the BepubJicau party. We can not see what the party has to hope for bat defeat by eouducting anoth er campaign upon the latter issue. For sixteen years they have fought on this line and been defeated.

The. western papers are beginning to acknowledge that the story of Dakota has been too highly colored. There has been a great boom in emigration to that territory, but there are signs of a redaction. The Chicago Tribune says: "Dakota is no doubt a good place for wheat- irrowing paritoses, and is just the place for the poor foreigner from Sweden orNorwav, or any other cold country in Europe, to settle in; but the climate is too severe for man who has been reared anywhere south of the fortieth parallel of lati tude. As a matter of courtesy on the part of the geographers, Dakota is placed in the 'temperate zone. but when wells twenty feet deep are frozen over, and winter sets in about the 1st of October with coldness that defies the registry of Fahrenheit, and continues until May, it might as well be called cold sect ion of conn try.'' For mfti who have the capital toiuy and run a "bonanza" wheat farm of thousand acres or more, doing all the farm work on a wholesale scale and spending only a few weeks of the harvest season on the ground, Dakota no doubt offers handsome returns. Bnt for the man the American man, at any rato who has little money and his way to make with his bands, Dakota prob ably offers as much privation and hard work and as little profit as any part of the country.

A ostal card from south Iredell informs us that Mr Archibald Luckev, who rrafessor Baxter M Oysters. Professor Huxley lately lectured at the Royal Institution upon "Oys ters.'' He stated that the shells of the oyster are held together by an India-rubber like ligament control led by a muscle. By this ligament the oyster can hold his shells tight ly together. When the animal is killed without the destruction of the ligament, the latter expands and acts like a spring, keeping the shells open, except when pressed, it is absolutely necessary to the ; life of he oyster that the shells should open to some extent, conse quently any great pressure on the shells is injurious to the animal. He did not wish to set hearers against eating an animal which plays about the plate like gustatory sum mer lightning, still the oyster pos sessed elaborate'apparatus, such as a foot, mouth, and even liver, the latter of which be trusted was not liable to get out of order. In short, the animal was of much greater complexity than the best repeater watch, and it has a highly developed nervous system. Its mouth has no jaws, and it lives by food carried to it by oceanic currents. It lays an enormous multitude of eggs, which lie like cream upon what is called its beard. The eggs of the English but not of the American oyster are incubated by the parent. In about a fortnight, more or less for much depends upon the temper ature the young larvs, each about one one-hnndred-and-fifteenth inch in diameter, are set from the egg. The young one has a bivalve shell, as regular and symmetrical on Dow sides as mat oi tne cock e-, and a great disk protndes from the back of the neck. One oyster may contain a million eggs, which is enough to break the heart of Mai thus. The young one floats about for several days, during which it may be carried by currents perhaps seventy or eighty miles, ' wnen it falls to tne bottom ana ttinis over on its et stfej one of its valves then becomes fastened to the sup port below, and grows thicker as time passes on; the upper valve be comes fat. The age attained by the oyster is said lo be twenty or twenty-five years, but this is not quite certain.

Withers, when arrested, deli verd up the money, claimed that he took it in a joke, that he told others of having taken it, and that he intend ed all the time to return it. Then the master of the oyster bed comes along and plucks up the whelk, which looks at him with molluscous, innocent, friend-of-h.i manity-kind of a smite, and says -Why can't you let me go on mak ing my tunnel? I only want to en ter into international relations." The owner of the oyster - bed, bow eypr, puts n)s fteef qpoa ftlm, 'nis dog wneig parable was loudly ap plauded by five or six of the listen ers.

One of tnem is tne increase of facilities, by means of new rail ways, for the transport of fish, not alone into the interior of the British (Islands, but all over Europe. In England small towns which once bad, none now have fish shops. Another cause is that for many years the spatting baa been bad; tne meteorological conditions ortne last tweuty years have been bad for the oyster. There is no donbt that these two unavoidable influences have been at work, with the nat ural result of a rise in price with in creased demand, without increased supply. Another alleged cause is over-dredging, thereby leaving too few to contiuue the brood. Prof. Huxley said that it was useless to have a close time for oysters dnr ing a few months, if the fishermen might dredge as many as they pleased the rest of the year, And the general tendency or his closing argument, drawn from t rencb sta tistics, was that over-dredging did not seem to have to do with the matter, the causes affecting the multiplication of the oyster being of too vast a nature to be much aifected by such derations of man.

Davidson College has an endow ment fund of over $88,000, and this together with college' dues, annual ly, paid in. yields an income of $14,000. This sum has sufficed to run the college and keep clear of. debt, but leaves little margin lor repairs to buildings and improve ments on the grounds. The college has been quite liberal in carrying out the intention or the founders and has given free access to its class rooms to all candidates for the ministry, to all minister's sons, to yenng men of limited means, besides others who are there on scholarships. The policy is to turn away no deserving young man, if possible to keep him. During the last year G8 students more than one-half paid no tuition, and the revenues of the college were thus reduced by nearly live thousand dollars. This reduction of revenue has limited the power of the trustees to repair and adorn the - College property for a number of years, and has at length excited special efforts to procure additional funds for property improvement.

The trial is causing extraordi nary excitement. The Christians in the vicjnity are intensely hostile to the accused men. and those who attend the trial jeer the counsel lor the'delence when they rise to speak. The father of the boy Scharf is on.e of the prisoners pharged with the crime. The boy, though not le gally compelled to testify against his father, elected to do so. " He tells his story with great coolness, but he refused his father's reqnest to speak in his native German, and the elder Scharf declares that the boy would not dare to tell a lie iu that tongue. The prisoners curse and spit at the witnesses who tes tify against them. It has been elic ited in the course of the trial that the boy Scharf intends to become a Christian; that he has been told by the Catholic priests about the al leged use of Christian blood in mak ing Passover bread, aud that he md been threatened by the police prior to the open examination. A Catholic priest admitted that ie was the author of an anonymous attack 011 the Jews accusing them of the murder of the girl. er The Western Floods. ST. Lorts, .lime 2'5.

Quite a party of prominent far mers, among them Mr. Peterson Dunn, of Wake Forest, were in the city yesterday and were gathered together discussing crop prospects. Their reports as to cotton were not good, and they declared that nine-teen-twentieths of the cotton in this county was bad, and that the grass was over-mastering the yotton. Mr. Dunn's cotton crop, he said, was better than usual, and Mr. W. G. L pchurch said his cotton was ex cellent, but lotli these gentlemen asserted that nearly all the other ciops they had seen were poor. The wheat crop will be of tair size. The stalk is not so large as asf year, but the heads are quite well tilled. Vet uli some farms there is a falling oft' in wheat. Mr. 1p c.hurcli said he last jear raised on one plantation, carefully cultivat ed, 2,000 bushels of wheat. This year, with the same care and on a like oiiantitv of land, ou the same I farm he will not get oyer 1,200 bush eis. au agreed mat oats w ere poor. As to coin, the reports are not very favorable. It was said that the wet weather and the cut worm nave done considerable damage. As a general rule, where cotton has been thoroughly worked it makes a fair showing. All the gentlemen agreed that one cause of the crops not being cleau was the attempt to cultivate too much land, the desire to have too large a crop. Xeirs-Obnercer. Te Fantego But Not Beyond It was with feelings of a lover going to meet some expectant bride that we recently left the City of Elms, while the stars wore yet twinkling in the sky, for Pantego the.6cca8ion being to attend the "commencement exercises of the High School located at that point;, and our compagrwn du voyage, John S. Long, Esq., who was duly pro- grammed to deliver the annual ad dress. Pantego, or Panscheego, as the j name appears on some old land grants, is located some twenty-five or-more miles below Washington and immediately on the main high way to county Hyde. It is a Matchapungo Indian word or name, but its meaning has not been tra ditionally handed down. At this season of the year a short drive in the country is quite pleasant, but as mile after mile is travelew the woods loses its fresh aroma, and the song of the woodland bird its sweetness. At ten o'clock p. in. we had the pleasure of ending our journey and greeting expectant friends; distance traveled sixty two miles. We found Prof. Wiugate, a son of the late De. Wingate of Wake Forest, in charge of the Academy, assisted by Miss K. K. Kennolds, of Richmond, Va., Miss Martha Whitley, of Pantego, and Miss Jennie Simmons, of Thomasville, N. C, who has charge of the music department. The day for the exer cises was very auspicious all that could bo desired. A large crowd had gathered and at 11 a. in.. John S. Long, Esq. .delivered the address to our appreciative audience. We defer comment as we learn the ad dress is to be published. We can only say the speaker fully sustained himself.

Cantata, "TheQaarreI of the Flowers,'' brought out the girls iu full force. The audience seemed to enjoy it hugely. 1 The "Famiim," a selection from LppgCeliow,, by Miss Kate Way, was very enjoyable. "The Modem Cain," by Miss Xeppie Gay lord, was a fiery invective and arraign ment of a rum seller. She threw her self fully into the piece.

Brown called a to Bee V. A. Tolson, Esq., and fas tened his horse rather near the bee hires. The high-spirited animal was soon covered with bees, which caused him to break loose and seek relief. After running- around the yard several times he sprang into the sitting-room, but hading so relief there bid them fare well and left the rider to take care of himself.
