"Now, my dear," said Mr. Spoop endyke, rubbing his hands gleefully and contemplating his wife from the opposite seat of the railway car with a pleasent smile. "Now, my dear, suppose we take a look at the lunch of which we have had such remarkable accounts. If there is anything nice when a man is traveling, it is a home made lunch. Develop the viands, and let joy be unconfined!" and Mr. Spoopendyke laughed outright in -mticipation of the gustatory delights iu store for him. "All right," giggled Mrs. Spoop endyke, opening the basket with trembling hands. ''Now you hold that, and don't you open anything until I get it all out,M and Mrs. Spoopendyke handed him a long roll ot something done up in a coarse brown paper. "How much more of this is there to get out!" demanded Mr. Spoop endyke, sniffing at the paper and detecting Bologna sausage, a thing he detested. "What is this, any way, a club to keep the rest of the lunch in order? Is this thing the police force of this lunch? Fetch forth the law-abiding elements, if you've got any! Never mind the executive of this feast, produce the laboring faction, the tax-paying end of the business. "Here's some cheese,'' murmured Mrs. Spoopendyke "and a pie and some smoked beef and some her ring and " "Haven't ye got some salt some where?" hissed Mr. Soopendyke planting the Bologna on end in the center of the pie. "How'm I to quench my thirst after eating all this truck, unless I have salt? Where's the mustard that goes with these mercies?" and Mr. Spoop endyke dove into the package of beef and and scattered the con tents over his wife's lap. "I'll bet the Bologna can whip the cheese in four rounds!" he yelled, hauling the offending sausage out of the pie and jabbing it through the cheese. "Hurrayl Now, we'll sponge him off with the herring for the next round!" ana Mr. Spoopendyke seized a fish by the tail and slammed it into the basket. MDoatl", pleaded Mrs. Spoopen dyke, looking - helplessly on. "I like tnoso tilings, if you don't." an'Fb-leC'the lunch have a little?" squealed Mr. Spoopendyke, hammering at the cheese with the sausage, r vui course you Jike tnese things! .They're rifirht ,in your line !

VWhere's- my lunch? ; Bring on the delicacies calculated to supply the-waste tis sue of Spoopendyke!" and the worthy gentleman drove the sausage clear through the pie and impaled the herring on the other end. "Here's a Charlotte, and a " commenced Mrs. Spoopendyke. "Hand me the blushing Char lotte!" howled Mr. Spoopendyke, who bad fixed his mind on cold chicken, and saw no realization of his anticipations. "Show me the Charlotte just budding into womanhood, and she shall have the pie! Give me hey! What's tb "This 1st can of beans!" ex claimed Mrs. Spoopendyke, bright ening a little. You know you al ways like beans.'' "Let's have em!" growled Mr. Spoopendyke, reaching for them. "What have you got to open 'em with?". 'I'm afraid I left the can-opener at home,"roared Mr. Spoopendyke, setting his teeth and breathing hard. "Show me the spring that busts this cover off! Guide me to the combination of this stem-winding can of beans! Maybe this'U do it!" and Mr. Spoopendyke again grabbed the sausage and went for the can. "How'm I getting on!" he yelled, as the bologna flew in all directions. "Think you begin to smell those beans any more plainly than you did ? Wa-h-h!" he shrieked, as a huge chunk of the pork broke off short and landed in his ear. 'This hog don't know who he's fooling with! Let me intro duce you to Spoopendyke!" and he ground the sausage flat against the can and dropped the sausage on the floor. "I don't know what we're going to do!" murmured Mrs. Spoopen dyke in great distress. "Now watch the triumph of mind over beans?" howled Mr. Spoopen dyke, opening the window and placing the cau on tue sill, "ine reward of genius!" be roared, as he brought the window down on the can. Mrs. Spoopendyke dodged just in time, and her unfortunate spouse caught the bean part of the least fairly in front, and was covered from his eyebrows to his ankles, "That what ye wanted!'' he gasp ed, as the lull extent of the calami ty dawned on him. ''That what ye been trying to get me to do! Dod gast the measly beans! ' and Mr. Spoopendyke made for the smoking-oar and was seen no more till dark. "I don't care," soliloquized Mrs. Spoopendyke, assuringiherself that the Charlotte had not been injured. "He might have waited a moment, and he wonlel have had some cold chicken. But, of course, if he has made a lunch on beans, he wou't rare for anything else." And with this consolatory reflection Mrs. Spoopendyke ate the chicken and Charlotte in alternate bites, and coniposeel herself for a comfortable nap. Drake's Traveler's Magazine.

Thrilling Fight With a Lioness. Peter Marvin, an animal trainer employed at the winter quarters of a circus in Pniadelphia, recently had a desperate encounter with a lioness named Juno in a close room filled on three sides with dens of beasts. The lioness had become jeal ous of the attentions shown three cub lions in a den directly opposite her own. After feeding the cubs the keeper patted them for a while, which threw Juno into a violent rage. Marvin turned to quiet her and as he advanced toward the cage he stumbled and fell against the bars. In an instant she seized his right arm above the elbow. In or der to protect his head and body the man fell and with his left hand grasped the bottom of the cage. Juno held his right arm with one paw. and struck through the bars at his head with the other. A lad named Donohue grabbed an iron bar and tried to make Juno drop Marvin. The boy's efforts only in creased the rage of the beast. By this time every animal in the place was wildly excited, and their roars and crief were heards squares away. As there is a small army of workmen about the place the lion house was soon surrounded with men. In the meantime Juno had torn the flesh from Marvin's arm, struck him several wicked blows on the shoulder and then allowed him to drop to the ground and crawl away. Just as the rescuers reached the doors they heard a sound of crash ing timbers, accompanied by a se ries of roars. Juno had thrown her body against the bars and broken through. The interior of the build ing was dark, and no one dared to venture iu. They heard Juno around tlit? place and they hesitat ed. They supposed that Marvin was dead. He, however, managed to rea;h the rack in which the heavy iron bars used to clean the cages are kept. Snatching one of the irons he boldly advanced on Juno, who crouched in a corner. Above the din of the beascs within the men at the doors, to their astonish- ' ment, heard Marvin ordering the ; lioness back to her cage. This re ! assured them and they started to I enter. As the doors opened Juno sprang over Marvin's head and took 'refuge in a stall. Marvin shouted to close the doors, and, following the' now cowed lion, struck her twice with the iron bar. Then he poKeu ner out, and with an augry roar she vaulted back into her cage anel the danger was over. Marvin's 1 injuries were attended to by a phy sician, who said he would not lose the use of his arm. A Terrible Loss. "The boat has turned over and drowned your son.' said a man, approaching a fishing party, "and addressing an old gentleman. "Great goodness!" exclaimed the ohl man. bursting into tears. "He was my hope in this life, lie was the best boy on the place; and be side that, he had the bait cup with him." WESTERN FLOODS. Lincoln, Neb'.,' June 20. A great rain fell Friday uight in Ne meha valley, destroying crops, washing away bridges, roads and houses. Thousands of hogs and hundreds of cattle were drowned. The money losses will aggregate enormously. St. Louis, June 26. On this side of the river the whole of the levee is now submerged, and the lower floors of stores are flooded, from a few inches to a couple of feet deep. Business in houses on the river front is suspended, except in two or three "doggeries," which have scaffolds built, and where whiskey is still dispensed for five cents a drink. The Chicago & Al ton, in connection With the Indiana polis and St. Louis and Wabash roads, are driving piles in the break in tueir track, about Venice, and it is expected they will have a good trestle across the gap by ednes day and their trains running. A large number of farmers and land owners on the American bot tom, and residents of Venice and other towns between East St. Louis and Mitchell, held a meeting at Venice yesterday, and adopted resolutions calling for aid. Many of the people who make this appeal are camped in tents on ridges, sur rounded by water, or in the open air on the bluff beyond. Some are housed in box cars on the railroad tracks, and a good many of them will be obliged to be fed. Their crops are totally destroyed and they are destitute of money and the necessaries of life. The situation in East Carondelet and Cahokia grows worse daily. Water covers all that section of country. The railroads which lost their tracks have abandoned the ferriage system between here and Alton, and have arranged with the Vandaliaroad to run their passen ger trains. The Indianapolis & Saint Louis will send their trains to Effingham; thence to Mattoon. The Wabash road will use the Vandalia track to Alt amount, whence it will take its own track: and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy will run to Smithboro, where they will connect with their own roads. All the other Eastern lines are using their own track8,and all the western roads are getting trains through with good success. The Vandalia crack, about which there has been some appre hension, is still two feet above wa ter. Advices from Chester, Randolph county, Ills., say that St. Mary's levee, opposite that point, in Mis souri, broke Sunday night. St, Mary's bottom, a large wheat-raising section, is nearly flooded, and 20,000 acres of wheat are under water in the bottom alone. From Chester to Grand Tower, south ward, on the Illinois side, a distance of twenty-five miles, with an aver age width of ten miles, and (em bracing an area of 250 miles, nearly all are submerged and crops de stroyed, entailing a great loss. North of Chester, nearly all the way up to St. Louis, the bottom is sard to be inundated, except here and there a high ridge, which is out of water. Thousands of families are either liv ing in flooded houses, or have fled to the bluffs for safety; and the loss to the crops and to general farm property is almost incalculable. The American bottom extends from Alton to Cairo, something over three hundred miles, a large part of which is pretty thickly set tled. All this great tract is subject to overflow in a freshet like the present. The town of St. Mary's; on the Missouri side of the river, is partly submerged, and Kaskaskia, on the Illinois side, is to be abandoned, the people there haviug sent to Chester for a steamer to carry them away. A levee two miles above Cape Girardeau, Mo., about fifty miles above Cairo, and another at Press Landing, twenty-five miles down the river, broke Sunday night, and a large volume of water rushed over the bottom. Other points on both sides of the river below here, particularly on the Illinois side, are almost in the same condition as above described, and it may be said that pretty much all the bottom land between here and Cairo has more or less water on it- Her Daughter's Husband. A traveler saw a woman take a man by the collar, yank him up the steps into a railroad car, jam nim down into a hot seat near the stove, pile up a valise and two big brown baskets with loose covers and long handles at his feet.shovea lady into his lap, and say: "Now, sit there until I help Mary Jane on the car, and don't move till I come .sack." When the woman reached the door the traveler said to her: "Is that man your husband?" "N-A-W-W!" roared the woman. 'He's my daughter's husband, and she hasn't spirit enough to say her soul is her own." This true story teaches us that some travelers haven't enough sense to diagnose a family party when they see one. Burlington Hatch-Eye. Where It Came From. "Mr. Maples," said the junior partner of the house, as he looked over the expense account of one of his travelersjust in, "your expenses are just $25 more for two weeks than the last man on the route."

A self- governing people! yet governed by political prejudice and party nrtg leaders. The political Judas lures the unsuspecting with his smiles, and is a disciple of the monopolist; and his course in Congress and the Legislature is more with, a view to re-election than to the pressing needs of his constituents.

Much is expended for the stage, tobacco, beer, : dress-patterns, cos metics, false hair and dime novels, and 15 per cent, of us as a whoTe, cannot write our names(?) The license of beardless bachelors and rosebud maidens is fearfully liberal, From the cradle they don the toga of unrestrained liberty; and are participants in the follies of the theatre, ball room, skating rink, and midnight parties. Age and wisdom are deliberately pushed aside by babies in boots the champions of society, who nurse gloved hands and shoe-pinched feet, and whose aversion to labor is as marked as their love for the idler's lounge. They prefer idle gossip and fiction to the essential subjects of science, literature and domestic econmy; and even their billet-doux are the quintessence of error. They spend childhood,not with raotber,but in society and learn nothing of life's duties, yet first class marriageable stock in trade. High political and social life are now filling the darkest page upon our nat'onal record. Yet there's worth!

Let the belle of fashion display her dry goods, jewelry, and painted cheeks, but in the mother helping maid is womanhood, whose native beauty, virtue and chastity are the peerless ornaments of her sex.

Editor: During an excursion on the steamer Edgecombe from Aurora on the 25th lost., the subject of this sketch, after the steamer had nearly reached her wharf, in running along the lower deck to reach his mother, stumbled and slipped overboard to rise no more. Mr Willie Forbes, of Washington, and a colored man, on the instant the disaster was known by the screams of the ladies. plunged overboard to his rescue; but ba was never seen after he sunk. The ac cident happened about five e 'clock n. m. and at nine p. m. his body was re covered from whence it had rested face downward in the mud. He was the son of J. M. and Susan Litchfield his wife, and grand son of tee late Wm. A. Thompson, a raoent resident of your city, who was drowned December 4th, 1883, at the burniitg of the steamer Enterprise, while on his way from this place to Washington, Little Clay was born September J8d, 1877, and would have Reached his 6th year the 23d of next September J Ha was not only the pride of hia almost neart broken parents, but the general pet of the entire town from his Rpnial and gleeful disposition, and his fasci nating boyish ways. He is now beyond the stars; a glitter ing gem among the jewels erf Jetnis; looking down on his heart grieved parents from his star lit throne with a pitying sorrow, yet nestling lovingly in that bosom which is his safeguard and shield when the stars shoot from eais tence the sun dissolved into chaos, and the world wiped from eternity. He will rest there forever, a radiant, happy angel; and at the midnight hour will oft appear in visionary dreams to his afflicted parents, beckoning them with his winning smile to come and enjoy with him that eternal happiness 'in tha city whose streets are paved with gold, and whose lights are the rays from the eye of angels those eternal suns of God. . Fatality by water seems inherent in the family. First, the head of the fami ly whose looks had begun to assuma tha froetenhue; now, the Tittle bud in the bloom of childish prattle In the very heat of blissful amusement plvna a wee ttrugaU then the protecting arm of jesm. ejm tne uncertainty or nrel "Here to-day. there to-morrow!" Mar God pour the oil of comfort upon the hearts and soothe the inmost grief of berieved parents. T. P. Bonnkr. Aurora, June 27th, 1888. Ooldsboro Messenger please copy. The Wilson Normal School. Mb. Editor: The Wilson State Normal School opened formally last Wednesday under very flattering cir cumstances. The speeches made were full or good will, cheer aDd enthusiasm. The register showed 87 names on the first day and on Friday 180, represent ing about 30'counties. Prof. J. L. Tomlinson, superintend ent, is highly pleased with his corps of instructors, and right worthily does ha occupy the chief seat. His talks to the teachers are running over with valua ble, and I may aay, indispensible ad vice. They are looked forward to, day after day, for something new and inter esting is always sure to be heard. Prof. E. V. DeQraff, a whole normal in himself, is surpassing his last year's reoord. The teachers ara carried away with him, his work, his subjects. He is so attractive that the business men of the town ' may be fonnd at the school rather than at their place ot business. The lawyers, doctors and ministers of the community seem eager to hear all they can from him. Your correspond ent does not exaggerate in saying that his superior is not to be found North or South. Prof. A. L Phillips is doing excel lent work, and those present are gain ing valuable information from his talks on geography and history. Teach ers desiring maps and statistica.ojC their own counties, or the counties they ex-, pect to teach in, have need only to make application to him, and they are furnished gratis. The Superintendent is fortunate in securing the services of the young man. Mark my prediction, you will hear from Phillips before the world grows much older. This week Prof. E. P. Russell, the director of the conservatory of music, Edinborgh, Pa. and Prof. Little, Washington, D. C, will be present, -making heavy strokes in their specialties the former famous as a teacher in music and elocution, the latter of whom Col. J. P. San ford, the great traveller and lecturer, says: "I never saw his equal as a teacher of drawing. Some 50 or 75 teachers from all parts of the State are expected this week. Lecturers will appear before the Normal every few evenings during tha term, among whom may be mentioned, Maj. Kobt. Bingham, Supt. ScArboro, Rev. A. D. Mayo, Hon. K. P. tBattle, Prof. DeOraph, Prof. Russel. The teachers, having heard so many good things about the New Berne Graded School, are anxiously awaiting the ar rival of the worthy superintendent, Prof. D. B. Johnson. A majority of those present, although having taught during the past ten months, do not seem to grow weary un der the instruction, but many who came to stay two weeks, say they expect .to stay until the very close if possible. The work done here will be felt throughout the bounds of our good old state; my only regret is that every teach er in North Carolina cannot be present. Fkrnbolt. Pamlico Items. Pamlico Enterprise. The schooner Annie E. Hall. Queen master, arrived last Saturday. The captain's wife and daughter accompa nied himonthe trip. Mr. Paul Daniels In a happy man, or ought to be, for his amiable wife pre sented him with a fine boy and girl on Wednesday. May it be ever thus. We were shown tact week, by our young friend John Davenport, a pair of young foxes which he had captured and was endeavoring to tftine. John is preparing for the circus. Shipped from Stonewall yesterday: Potatoes 83 barrels, onions 8 crates, beans 1 crate. Total to date 275 barrels potatoes 77 crates beans. 18 crntes on ions. Total shipments from Bavboro: 22a barrels potatoes, 1 crate onions. We understand that there will be a picnic at H.iiril 's Creek on the 4lh of Ju ly Wednesday next. The Bayboro band, assisted by Mr. Forbes, will be on hand, and the lively music emitted from the instruments will no doubt make the 4th a gala day in that section of our country. Trucking has not n-evcd as remuner ative to oil r farmers this year as was ex pected. V e liear ed some, liowever, who have realized as much as S-'U. jer barrel en their potato crop.
