Then the bear came out. followed by six others, but he didn't know he was attacking Barnum's me nagerie and made tracks for town. Those who think the English sparrows have all left Greensboro will find their mistake by looking in the wagon lots on South Elm. Hundreds can be seen at all hours of the day. Capt, L. M. Hawkins made a narrow escape from fire last night. The children .knocked a kerosene lamp from a bureau and the ou took tire blazing to the ceiling. Mrs. Hawkins seized a large woolen table cover and smothered the flames.

It blights all the cotton it attacks, and theu destroys it entirely. Last Thursday while two negroes were digging a well at Brommeh's Springs, near High Point, one of them went to the bottom and was overcome by the carbonic acid gas which bad accumulated. The other man went after him and tied a rope around him. The first man was then drawn np and saved. The second one died. It required five hours time to get out the foul air. The parties going into the well found the dead man sitting beside the side of the well, which was a very deep one. Charlotte Journal- Observer: The boss of the other side was in the city yesterday for the purpose, we suppose, of overseeing the U. S. nosing business. It seems now to be pretty well understood that two agents of the department of justice are trying to procure evi dence in this county upon which to indict certain persons for alleged frauds in the election of 18S2. The movements of the governments representatives have been very quiet, but a few vigilant Democrats have kept track of them, and have ascertained what their purposes are. It is said that some prominent Democrats of this city have been singled out for persecution, but we feel satisfied that nobody is going to get scared. Whenever the Republican-Liberal bosses want to play at that kind of game they can get accommodated in tho shortest kind of order. The time has passed when men can be frightened by such dirty tricks, and it is no use to at tempt them. Wc advise our Demo cratic friends to keep cool, and not be disturbed by the presence of Uncle Sam's detectives, even tho' they are acting under Jim Boyd's orders. (ien. Jackson's War Horse A l'icop of History. In a recent issue of the Journul-Ob- j Kcrrer we spoke of Stonewall Jackson's old war horse which had on the day ! previous been shipped from this place . to Lexington, Va.. as a present to Gen. ; Smith, of the Virginia Military Insti ' tute, by Rev. Dr. R. II. Morrison. Re j ferring to the old charger's pro-em e in i Lynchburg, the AVici says: This famous ! ohl u-arjiorse was the object of much ! interest while here. He v:is visited hy ! a great ninny persons, who were sur ! prised to see him looking so well. A circumstance that may not he generally j known, and one possessing, peculiar , local interest, is that this horse was captured by a Lynchburg company after his renowned rider had been shot from ! him. He fell into the hands of the Beauregard or Moorman battery which was ou the ground, and was kept by them until turned over to General Jeb Stewart. The writer was a member of that heroic company, and feels just pride in all its performances. .Another ' circumstance of interest is that Major i Moorman, its then Captain, afterwards ' promoted, was the last person whoever i held a conversation of any extent with ! the immortal Stonewall, just" before he i went into tho death-trap. His last i words addressed to the Captain were. "It's time to move."' He did move but. to glory and the grave. Journal ' Ubxerrer. The Women of the South. Whenever the demagogue of Northern politics grows weary of Ku-Klnx in the South, he assails Southern women. He claims that they were enthusiastic over seees sion, encouraged rebellion and that they still hate the "Yankee" with a bitterness almost personally danger ous. The first part of the charge is true (he latter an outrageous slander. Modern . history caunot name a war in which thewives and mothers and sisters and daughters of an army were more enthusiastic and self-sacrificing. To the men of the South the war was the solu tion of a politics! problem. -To .the women it seemed an attempt of the North to couqner and desolate the country. They firmly and earnestly believed that the .Sontb had long been oppressed, and that the war was to further abridge irights and liberties. Believingihu It miiyJje safely asserted that nineteen out of every twenty women in the South were Troians in their . courage, Spartans in their fortitude and Romans in their faith and self sacrifice. Husbands and fathers and brothers were made ready for war and given a woman's blessing, and even had the Confederate con scription act been less stringent the able-bodied man who shirked military service could not have lived at home for the taunts -of the women. ' History Will never detail the self- sacrifice and heroic courage of Southern women. No matter as to the right or wrong of the cause they believed it was right. The blow fell upon the family household early and with full force. In Vir ginia seven out of ten families were without men lolks at home within three months from the first battled Father and sons went together The wife and mother gave all she had, and then turned to face furth er anxieties. There werd thousands of women in the Old Dominion who had never laced their shoes or combed their hair. These women sent their husbands and sons to the front and then faced the question of food supply. In many cases the slaves ran away. When this oc curred the women went into the fields and put in snch crops as they could. Where the slaves remained the mistress was forced to act as her own manager and overseer and assume all responsibility. There are plenty of Federal troopers still living who found educated and cul tured Southern women wielding hoes and holding plows in the corn field within sis months of the open ing of the war, T It was the Southern women more than the provost marshals who checked desertion and made the offense odious. The Confederate who left the front without leave found no welcome outside of his own family. He who came home by authority, and With a wound to attest his bravery in action, was a hero Until duty compelled his re turn. No man ever saw a night so wild that a Southern woman would not face it to carry news to Confederate soldiers. Every woman was a scout and a spy, Jf the mother could not go the daughter was sent. If there was no daughter a dispatch or message was hurried off by a negro or a signal was made. They came to accurately estimate the strength of marching columns, to identify one make of gun from another in the' batteries, and where scouts and spies eouldjjnot go the women count, it was the women who sa ved Mosby again and again. It was a woman who told Gen. Jackson the exact strength of the Federal force at Front Royal before he fell upon it in carrying out his valley campaign. It was a woman who told Early just how Sheridan's army was distributed at Cedar' Creek, and there was scarcely a battle on Virginia's soil with which women had not something to do as the bearers of information. Once enlisted in the cause they did not know what despair was. They sent their bedding to the hospitals, their provisions to tho army, and their jewelry to a buyer of Confederate arms in Europe. Yv hen tho Con federate Government could not furnish rations tjc Confederate women did, I have asked hundreds of Con federate soldiers how they made a start after the war, and in nearly every Instance the answer began with: "Well, my wife, you know " His wife had been the power to brace him up for the new start in life. Q'he home was in ashes, the farm grown up to briers and the country over run with outlaws, but the wife's words of hope and encouragement set the returned soldier to work. With any other class of women the South would have built up by the inch instead of the foot. As they were enthusiasts in war, so also are they heroines in peace. In the real Southern woman's heart there is no hatred of Northerners. There is not even distrust or suspicion. In her parlor may hang portraits I through which Sherman's men : thrust bayonets, but her pleasant i est letters are mailed to and re I ceived from friends in the North. The war as a war is buried and for gotten, or ifbttter memories force themselves to the surface there, is no heartburning for vengeance. M. Quad. Say It Slower. It is a serious wind that blows no one any amusement, and strike of the telegraph operators, trouble some as it has been, is not without its humorous incidents. A few days after the strike began, tho operator at Le Roy, .X. V., was try ing to convey a message to a gicen hand, some hundred miles away, who had taken the place of an ex pert. He tried again and again to make the new hand comprehend a simple sentence. At last, his failures so irritated him, that he sent the fol lowing over the wires, with light ning rapidity: You're a fool!" The answer came back with pain ful deliberation, "Say it slower." The Le Roy operator gave it nr. ! TELEGBAPHIC SUMMARY. f : ' ! New York, August 28. Inspector Thome received a dispatch this after noon stating that the excuision steamer, "Eiverdale,"had blown up at the foot of Sixteenth street, North river, and calling for nil the ambulances in the city, 'lhe Kiverdale started np the Hudson on its. trip to Haverstraw at 3 o'clock p. m., with fifty passengers on oo,ra lrom tne root or Harrison street. When opposite the foot of Thirteenth street her boilers exploded. Eye wh npf ges on shore saw what seemed to be the whole of the inside of the vessel fly into the air with a report like the dis charge of a cannon. The shell of the hull careened over but continued up stream from the momentum f its own speed until it went down, bow first, at the foot of Fifteenth street. About twenty of the passengers, including everybody in the cabins, were blown up in tne explosion. The rest seized life preservers and jumping over the rail mto the river were picked up by a num ber of tug boats .that immediately put out from the New York and -Jersey snores to their assistance, llow many were saved and how many drowned and killed is as yet entirely unknown. ine most.connictmg reports are in cir culation. Batavia, August 28. The eruption of the volcano on the island of Krakotoa continues. North Bantam in Java is covered with ashes, mud and stones. The crops are ruinel and the roads are damaged. The European quarter of Anjier and the Chinese camp at Merak have been-swept away by an overflow of the rivers, xne tidal wave . also swamped the lower quarter1 of Batavia, London, August 2. A dispatch from Batavia, Java, to the! Lloyds, . says the towns of Aner. Tjiringine and Telok belong have been destroyed by volcanic eruptions. It . also says that all the light-houses in Sunda straits have dis appeared, and that where the mountain of Kraroar formerly stood a sea now flow!. ' The aspect of Sunda straits is mucl changed and navigation is dange rous. : BatIvia, August 29. A tidal wave has completely destroyed Anioi. Many persons there were killed. The loss of life among both Europeans and natives at North Bantane is enormous. , Batavia, Aug. 29. Since noon yes terday everything has been quiet. The sky Is clear and communication with Serang has been restored.- The temper ature fell ten degrees Mon day, but it is now at its normal height. The town is covered., with a thin layer of ashes, which was so hot when 'falling that it killed birds. The telegraph linemen report that while they were at work repairing the line near An joi early Monday morning, they saw a high column of sea approaching with a roaring noise. They fled imme diately without learning the fate of the inhabitants. The quarries at Merark have disappeared and all the people of the place perished. The floating dock at the island of Ourust, near Batavia, is adrift and is badly damaged. The latest advices from Batavia, the capital of the island of Java, show that the volcanic eruptions in that island are much more serious than at first indi cated. The disturbances began on the Island of Jtrakatoa, in the strait of Sunda, about fifteen miles off the coast of Java. Tho deep rumblings were dis tinctly audible at Surakerta and Ba tavia, about forty-live and twenty-two miles off respectively. Little alarm was felt at first, but within a few hours showers of stones began to fall at Jok jokerta, Surabaya and Serang. All through the night showers -of 'red-hot rocks and ashes fell, making complete darkness in all these towns. The first eruptions were on Saturday inght. On Sunday morning the distur bances had extended beneath the waters of the strait, arid they were soon boiling and hissing yiglpntly, while groat waves dashed upon the Javanese snores and the temperature of the sea went up nearly twenty degrees. Even as far away from the original point of disturbance as Ma dura the furious waves were lashed into mountains of form as they came rolling in, - The threatening rumblings gradu ally became more and more .distinct, and by noon the Maba Meru, the largest of the volcanoes of Java, was belching forth flames at a very alarming rate. This eruption soon spread to the Gunung Tengger, the crater of which is the lar gest in the world,, being nearly four miles m diameter; the Uunug Uunter and many other minor mountains, until more than a third of the forty-five cra ters of Java were either in active erup tion or seriously threatening it. Just before dusk a great luminous cloud formed over the' Gunung Gunter and the crater of that volcano began to vomit enormous streams of white, acid sulphurous mud, besides smaller quan tities of lava. There were rapidly suc cessive explosions, followed by tremen dous showers of cinders and enormous fragments, which were hurled high into the air, and scattered in all direc tions, to fall, .after their force was spent, upon the valleys below, carrying death and destruction. With these terrible eruptions came sympathetic demonstra tions from the sea. The overhanging clouds were so surcharged with elec tricity that at ous time over fifteen huge waterspouts were seen. Of 85,000 China men living at the entrance of Batavia not more than 5,000 were saved. At Anjier about 2.000 were lost, and at Baniam from 1,000 to 2,000 people were drowned, and many more lives were lost at other points. Paris, August 29.

Adams Creek, Aug. 25th 1883. .. Mr. Edttoii: I find in the Carteret Telephone of the 17th' inst. aa Article concerning the county line, and the. turnpike road, which, as to the turnpike road, I will prove to you as being a misstatement of facts, for. the road lead ing from the South river road to Back creek has never been knowti and un derstood as being any part of the turn pike, and every unbiased citizen living in this community will say the same. Now the commissioners of Craven coun ty will remember, about three years since a few people in this section peti tioned to them for means to build bridge across Back creek so they might haye a road to connect with the turn pike on the other side, but they failed to succeed; but they told tbe petitioners if they would build the bridge, and cut the road out they would grant' them an order to make it a public road, which they did. Since that time there was a petition carried before the commis sioners askiug them to discpniinue tbe road and they recinded the order. And at the time the county line was run by the Carteret surveyor it was no road at all. And again, if this had been looked upon as being any part of the turnpike, why did the parties go to the commis sioners for an order to make it a county road? And when Craven appropriated one hundred dollars to make the turn- pike passable it was spent on the west I side of Hack creek. I think if the Esr, had understood the road running by his door to have been any part of the turn ' pike he certainly would have laid the ! money out on, his own road where it wss I so much needed. i Mr. Editor, as to the line run by Car ' teret's surveyor, I don't think it en- titled to any consideration whatever, i In the first place they had no light to change the course laid down by the act of tho Legislature; they should have 1 run the course directed by the act until they found a turnpike. I guess they would have found one ere this, if they had continued. But they assumed what had been ' called a county road (but had been dis continued) four miles lone to be the turnpike and theu alter the course to eBt lu tliat- me markers 01 tne line naa A marK 'oui nines long lo snoot ai irom 1 the head of Blue Billy's, and after they found the course would not hit that, they added another four miles which was a mark about one-fourth of the dis tance around the horizon, and after all they could do their shot did not hit their mark by two mile.. We do hope that the line as now run by Carteret will not bo allowed to stand against the wishes of all the citieena, with a very few exceptions, in the dis puted territory. If any one in Craven county prefer living in a county famous lorclams, fish and saud fiddlers, let them move over, as it would be better for them to do that than change the county line for their sakes and do others harm.
