' If tbe Gazette rinds instances iu

To say that the Supreme Court
of North Carolina was influenced in
its opinion in the Bsows case by
tbe fact that Brown was an attor
ney, is an unwarrantable aspersion
upon the integrity of three as pure
and upright gentlemen as live in
North Carolina. The Gazette has
made a mistake aa it did in attack

board.
I.vrfcXSITE r'ARUSK.
The Jockxal has always Ueeu
an advocate of the intensive sys
tem of farming. Wejwere convinced
while trying to farm that small
farms, highly manured and well
cultivated was the only system by
which farming could be made to
pay. Tho uplands in North Caro
lina with ordinary manuring and
fair cultivation will produce about
two hundred and fifty pounds ol
lint cotton to the acre: fifteen to
twenty-five bushels of corn: ten to
fifteen of Wheat or twenty to forty
bushels of oats. A farmer that
makes five bales of cotton, weigh
ing five hnndnd pound each, on
a tea acre field thinks he has
made a fair crop, and he lias to
manure right sharply t tuake that
one year with another. The rive
bales ought to lie made nn tsrn or
certainly not more than three i -re.-.
Many farmer' cu!t:v.i, 'mm

They havr seen from .seventy live j

them believe that it was only half

But whether the alnue reports i
ot the (ieorgia farmers were true j
or not, it i an indisputable fact
that it is cheaper to grow five bales
ol cotton on three seres than to
grew the same on ten acres. Be

On motion ot Mr. Sayers, of Tex.,
a bill was passed granting to the

On motion of Mr. Holman, of
Indiana, the Senate bill was passed
for the relief ot Greenbnrg, Lime

Holraan's colleagues who have suf

disposition to retaliate, but finally
consented to allow the passage of
the measure.
The House then, in the moruing
hour, resumed consideration of the
Okalohoma bill. Mr. Harnes, of
Georgia, concluded his argument
in opposition to the bill by an
urgent appeal in behalf of good
faith towards the Indians and the
maintenance of the National honor
by the government.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in ad
vocating the bill, stated that he
was not surprised at the gentleman
from Georgia appealing for good
faith towards the Indians, and
especially towards the Cherokees.
If any gentleman should appeal for
good fa. th towards the Cherokees,
it should be the gentleman from
the State of (ieorgia. The Chero
kees had lormerly resided in that
State, and the ancestors of the
gentleman's constituents, after hav
ing broken faith with them, had
driven them from the State at the
point of the bayoue

hen (iod created man He com
manded His angels to visit him on
earth and guide him in his ways,
so that he might have a foretaste
of the bliss of the hie to come.
But man sought after sensual jos
in the place ol those in heaven, and
growing greedy of worldly fruits,
began to quarrel with his neigh
bors for the possession of them;
and the guardian angels wept
among t heniselves. But wlin the
strong oppressed the weak and
took from them by force the prod
uct ol their toil. .Justice rose up
sorrowing, ami, leaving enrtn, new ,
back to heaven. And when the!
weak overcame the strong with j
treachery and deceit, and cot from
them by cunning wha'. they feared
to take by force. Truth rose up sor
rowing, and, leaving earth, llew
back to heaven. And when the
miured went forth to slav their in
jurers. and crimsoned 'the plain '
with their brothers' blood, Peace
rose up sorrowing, and, leaving the
earth, tlew back to heaven.
Thus each bad act scared some
good angel from the world, until
Forgiveness, the most leautiful of
all, alone remained behind. And
when she heard Anger and Re
venge whisier dark deeds in men's
ears, and counsel tbem to repeat
that hail been done to them, she
rose up sorrowing and said:
"1 will not leave the earth.
While my sister angels were here I
might have rested in my Father's
bosom, lor man needed me not; but
now that they have tied, I will seek
, to make man listen to my voice,
telling him that as he cherished
forgiveneas hero, so that lorgive
nea will cherish him hereafter."
At that moment a new aud most
beautiful star blazed iu the heav
ens. It was the star of Hethle
hem. Pointing to it Forgiveness
said, "llehold, the light of the
world. It shines as a promise that
1 will ever dwell upon the earth."
And Peace and Love, repenting,
tlew back and have never since left
the earth. So the loveliest angels
of heaven came home to the
rorld
on t lie first Christmas morning.

Christmas In the Frigid Zone. !
A Christmas dinner in Esquimau-
land, like all other dinners there, j
depends as to quality entirely on I
what you have to eat. I have felt
perfectly contented and prouder
than an Alderman with a first
course of seal blubber and frozen
weeds, followed by frozen, rancid (
walrus-meat, and afterward walrus- j
hide, cut into small pieces that
could be swallowed sv ithout chew-.
ing. At other times, when in win
ter qtiaiters and access could bo 1
had to our supply of canned pro
visions, our Christmas menu would
not have disgraced a first class
restaurant in any civilized city.
Mv first Arctic Christmas whs in
'" -'". -"vn.. nuu,v.u
Kay, and that dinner, seasoned
with such an appetite as one gains
only with exercise and fresh air,
still haunts me with pleasaut
memories. N e had a most delicious
boiled salmon from a neighboring i
lake, fried reindeer steak . and
lob showse all cooked over seal-
'' lamps. The food was delightful,
but the snow lint which serves us
for dining room was so cold that
'the rivets in the knife-handles blis
tered our fingers, and, though our
meal was not shared with relatives
arouud the family bonnl, we had
no end of friends. All the Ksqui
maux in the village crowded into
our tent, their months watering
with the aroma of the fragrant
shnowse.
One circumstance I recollect con
cerning molasses under conditions
nf vtrmfl rrJd that- traa nnlfa rrf..
ma rkable. After it had become too
firmly coDgealed to run into a ves -
sel held for that purpose, it would
overrun the cup if yon attempted
to occupy the time while waiting
for it otherwise than by watching. ,
The head of the barrel was then j
removed and tbe molasses obtained
with a hammer and chisel. Before
Henry, our cook, knew that even
when the molasses was brittle, like
candy, a weighty object wonld sink
and disappear below the surface, he
laid his hammer and chisel on top
r .i , i
oi me tiaiu moires uuu bo iosi
them. Jie accused an Esquimau
assistant of having stolen them, but
he vigorously denied the accusa-
tion. So strong, however, was the
suspicion against the poor fellow
that he was disgraced by being
henceforth forbidden to enter the
