When the tocsin of war was sounded

The Major was overcome, but the
old man was whipped. On the
rather hasty retreat from New Berne
the old man reasoned thusly: '"If
one rebel cen't whip five Yankees
then the war for Southern rights is
a failure.'' As soon as convenient
ho returned home, and love for the

North Carolina; and yet, there is
no part of the entire Atlantic Sea
Board that offers as many induce
ments to emigrants of means. With
all of her wealth of forests, rich in
valuable timber; her immense fish
eries, her every variety of soil, some
of it the richest on earth, capable ot
producing all the great staples ; her
immense ovster beds, ;is yet com
parativelv untouched ; her unrival
e(j climate, exempt alike from the
chilling blasts of the North and the .
torrid heats of the Gulf States : her !
extensile navigable rivers, bayous,
ba- and creek:-; the ever swelling
: ;de of em igr.it ion h.ii never crossed :
her bordi-rs. This tide has turned
Nor: h and W e.-t u:ir il it cross, -d the

icy said ":n the good old

let well enough alone. They were
suddenly awakened from their
lethargy by the rude shock of war ;
all things with them were in chaos,
their whole labor system were de
stroyed, their credit gone; they met
the change with the dauntless cour
age inherent in the Anglo Saion
race, and North Carolina has now
taken the foremost rank among the
States of the great American
Union.
That portion of Eastern North
('aroLna it is proposed to describe
:n tins patnplet is comprised in the
. ounties of ( raven, Pamlico, Hyde,
Beaufort, Jones, bislow, Carteret,
Lilt. Eeiioir and Dare. These Coun
ties in their general features strik
ingly resemble middle and southern
Florida. They are not rolling or
uiiibil.itir.g: from the sea coast to
the average distance of seventy
tivr nnb's Wist, they are nearly a
dead level with an average elova
tion of about 1 'J feet above the
ocean, w l h so ireely a swelling or
protuberance rising to the dignity
of a hid. Ir will bo readily seen by
referring to the map, that they are
all either penetrated by the waters
of the Neuse and Pamlico rivers or

e.ls m iv bo divided into
isscs. The upland soil is
grr. i ral'y a still' grayish yellow clay,
or an extremely close compact soil
and subsoil very difficult to reduce,
but when subdued, it is very valu
able for the cultivation of cotton.
The light, sandy loams are general
ly found near navigable streams;
they are very easy of tillage and
susceptible of high cultivation. The
swamp lands, or soils composed ol
decayed vegetable matter, are equal
in fertility to anv in the world.
Through all of this broad extent of
country it may be said, that fertil
zers lie at every man's door, the
whole country being underlaid with
marl or decomposed shells, and in
several of the counties it lies near
the surface, aud ou nearly every
creek an 1 rivulet it crops in places
out ot the ground. Decomposed
vegetable matter or muck can be
lound :n every uncleared swamp,
and pure carbonate ol lime i oyster
she',!- can be had in unlimited
quantities with but very little more
expense than the cost of transpor
tation. In every portion of tln
torritory, tto crops a year can be
made: and m those parts aeeossibh
to quick transportation, manv of
:hr farmer- make it a rule to raise
a crop of vegetables for early ship
ir.i-nt. and follow with a crop ol
otton. Tir.s system of farming
require- heavy manuring and i.
getieral.'y done on light, sandy,
ioamy lands. All of the lands are
well adapted to the cultivation ol
all the cereal- and cotton, also ttax.
hemp, jute and sorghum. Nut
: ear. ng trees, not indegeuous, are
n iw being successfully cultivated,
such as the pecan and English wal
nut. Crapes, pears, tigs and plums,
when the cultivation is made a
specialty, arrive at perfection. All
of the smaller fruits can be success
fully raised ; and immense qnanti
ties of strawberries are cultivated
for shipment. Those portions of
Craven and Carteret counties
through which the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad passes,
may be deemed the paradise ol
'nickers. The lands are light and
sandy, and owing to their proximity
to the sea co.i-t, are warm very oar
ly in the M-ason, consequently the
sprouting of the plant is quickened
and the growth and maturity are
rapid: being thus favored by cli
mate, the truckers are from ten to
titteen days earlier in the northern
markets t h an the irginia truckers.
1 lie land- lying on the Neuse river
be!o,v tin' i iiv of New Hern, al.-o
p.KM-ss the same advantages o!

tntire country bordering on the
lower w. iters of Neti.-e r;ver, and
mi Pamlico, ('ore and Boguo sounds
would bo devoted to trucking pro
vided facilities lor quick traaspor
t.iiioii were more extended. The
-oil of llistern North Carolina is
also well adapted to the cultivation
' of tobacco. The plant is indigen
o:;-. L.vtry variety of the weed
an bo very successfully and proht
j aMy grown. Experiments have
i demonstrated the correctness of t hi
I ..-sertion. The lands are the best
in the State for that purpose, and
, more of the weed can be raised on
an acre, and at less expense than
in middle and western North Caro
lina; and only in F2astern North
Carolina can be found land upon
which a fine quality of smoking will
successfully mature. Fiastward the
cultivators of tobacco are now
wending their way in search of
! cheaper and better tobacco lands.
Comparatively bnt a small portion
of the lands of the Pamlico counties
are under cultivation, not more
than the one tenth part.

The climate of North Carolina
has no great extremes of heat or
cold. The winters are generally
mild, without any cxcessi ve cold.
The thermometer seldom gets as low
as 15 degrees, and remains so but
a few days. An extremely cold
winter seldom occurs, not oftener
than once in ten years, and then
the extreme cold seldom lasts
longer than two weeks. The aver-
aee of the thermometer in winter
is about -40 degrees ; flowers bloom 1
in the open air nine months in the 1
year, and in some seasons, roses
bloom until January. Spring

of laborers anywhere in the United
States that have better health
than those whoso daily oc
cupation is that of drainiug swamp
lands, or working in lumber in a
swamp. Malaria is one tiling, and
the product of vegetable decompo
sition is another. The
Upturning

of argillaceous soils will cause mai
laria and widespread pestilence;
bnt no instance can be shown of a
desolating sickness arising from
the clearing of swamp lauds, or
from working or dwelling in a
swamp. Many years ago, tho "State
of North Carolina made an appro
priation to drain a portion of the
swamp lands in Hyde county; those
who had charge of the work stated
that there was no sickness among
the laborers during the summer
months, and nnne oi any conse

Professor Emmons, former State
Geologist, asserts that the swamp
lands are not unhealthy, and the
late Hon. Edmund Tlulhn, in his
sketches of Eastern North Caro
lina, alluding to Hyde county, says:
"From the existing condition of
the land of tho lake region, every
stranger would infer the general
and worst effects of malaria in pro
ducing disease and death, but I
was assured that such was not the
tact, and that tho residents suffered
but little from autumnal diseases:
tho people, I saw, had the appear
ance of enjoy ing at Ieat ordinary
good health. Among the number
1 saw there were three neighboring
resident proprietors, each ot seven
ty or more yeais of age and then in
good health." Notwithstanding
neailv the entire oountv of Hvde
is either cleared or uncleared
swamp land, the inhabitants are
noted for their line physique and
generally healthy appearance. Some
portions of Eastern Carolina are
less healthy than (.ther portions:
the same line holds go ul every
where, in eveiy locality, both in'
city and country, but it may be
said that there is no poitioti of the
country now do-ciibed in which
the inhabitants do not enjoy a fair
average ol good healtu, whether
living in the upland or piuey lauds,
or in the swamp lauds. It is gen
orally conceded that pine regions,
or regions iu which tho turpentine
pines are the principal forest
growth, are remarkably healthy,
So general is this opinion that
many citizens in Eastern Carolina
living in towns have their places of
summer resort among the pines,
The balsamic effect of these trees is
soothing to weak and delicate con-
stitutions. The good effects of the !
climate on peisons from abroad ,
having weak lungs, or those who
are consumptive, is noticeable: and
a prolonged stay in Eastern Caro-
una is generally ionoweu uy a per-
maneiit cure. In a word, it may be
asserrul without fear of successful
contradiction, that there is no part
of the Tinted States where con
sumptive patients stand a better
chance ot being cured than in
lla.-tern Carolina; it is a sanitarium
and nowhere is the average dura
tin:; i f life greater.
I DIIKSTS.
The forests of Eastern Xorth
Carolina are comparatively un
touched. It may be said that three
fourths of the lands is yet in prime
val forest. They are known as
swamp and pine lands. The long
leaf or turpentine pine is the most
valuable of all trees, not only for
its yield of tar, turpentine and
rosin, but also for the spirits dis
tilled from the turpentine. Its tim
ber is more generally used than any
other in the known world. There
are other varieties of pine known
under different names. The short
leaf and the swamp pine are the
varieties most used next to the
long leaf or turpentine pine. The

From the first settlement of the

.V correspondent of one ot our con
temporaries recently asked United
States Senator Stanford, of Cali
fornia, what could be done in this
country to abolish beggary. The
answer of the philanthropic million
aire was as follows:
There is only oue way. Dry up
the source abolish the conditions
that in iko beggars. To try to cure
poverty by street charity is like
trying to .-top a hole iu your roof
by mopping up the puddles that
gather on your lloor. Nobody is
worse off because the Vanderbilts
are worth 200,000,000. If they had
not the wealth it would not exist at
all. It is only in those communities
where millionaires are possible that
the average citizen has enough to
eat. Now, what causes poverty?
1. Ignorance of how to save money.
i muuu ucggaio m .iii iui 11 ic iu
j 1850, when any man could go ont
with a tin pan and earn 3 before
breakfast. When by working three
hours a day a man could make his
board and clothes, there were always
shiftless creatures around whom
the rest had to support. It is the
same wav now. The soil is wonder
fully fruitful there. Merely 20,000
men produce all the wheat of the
State 2 and export Jl, 000,000; tons
every year, and yet there are beg
gars. We can cut, thrash, aud
sack wheat at an expense of one
and a half cents per 100 pounds,
potatoes cost only a half a cent a
pound, and ilour isoniy ?! a barrel,
aud yet there is want. And im
portant cause is unthrift. People
do not undeistand economy or
practice it as almost every rich man
lias had to some time in his life.
I really believe that there would be
beggars in the svorld before night if
S2U gold pieces were to be sown
broadcast every morning, and so
distributed that every man, woman,
and child were certain to get some.
2. The .-ale and use of liquor.
As long as there are ten times as
many saloons in this country as
there are of both churches and
schools, and thev are mainly sud-
. '"rt .ll ly the very poor, the sources

is most serious. If
iso many people couiu oe taugnt
rades that the entire product of
this country were doubled next year,
the wages would be doubled, either
in increase of money received or in
the smaller cost of the necessities of
life to be bought. More capable,
skilled hands that is one of our
greatest needs. My great hope is
in my university, which I wish to
build so tall and deep and broad
that the rudiments of every trade
and occupation may be taught.
When overbody knows how to do
some difficult and useful thiog,
poverty will rapidly diminish.
What to do in a Ulizzard.
When exposed to a blizzard itn-
1 mediately envelop the head and
upper
shawl
part of the body in a thick
or blanket, and in no case
allow the line, powdered snow
iloating in the air to enter the
mouth or lungs. This I write from
personal experience, having some
years ago been exposed to a bliz
zard in Minnesota, with the ther
mometer at io degrees below zero.
The first few breaths sent a sensa
tion like an icicle through my chest.
I grew weak and trembling, It
seemed as though the blood was
thickening in my veins and the
heart could not circulate it. lies-
piration grew rapid. I was being
smothered. 1 concluded that that
t would not do, so with what I had I
, wrapped up my nose and mouth
and breathed only through the
, covering. I was exposed for more
than an Lour and got through all
i right. I afterward saw the Indians
; adopting the same plan, for they
j had a large blanket a government
one wrapped around their heads
land bodies, and they resembled
j unveiled moving statues or Turk-
ish women on the streets. When
lost in such a storm get on the lee
side of a bank and burrow a hole
in it and close the opening, or. as
they say, "Crawl into a hole and
haul the hole in after you." New

begins in
become so
March. 1 his idea
has
firmly fixed that successive yearly
aisappointments have not dislodged i
it, but as each succeeding March
comes around, he feels that it
should bring spring weather and
spring work. We are apt to think
with something akin to envy, of the
Eoglish farmer, whose weather
comes true to the almanac, and
whose spring, if it does not begin
in March, is not deferred until May,
but borrows the later days of Feb
ruary. Even in the generally genial
climate of England, March is pro
verbially a blustering and uncertain
month. Even in our era the Anglo-
Saxons Lad in their language
names for March which meant 'rug
ged month," and "stormy month."
These people believed that March
had borrowed three days from
April, and expressed the character
of these days in a proverb, which
is said to be still in use by the rus
tics in parts of England and Scot
land. It said of these three bor
rowed days :
The first it shall bo wind and weet:
The next it 6hall be 6now and 6leet:
The third it ehall be pic a freeze,
Shall gar the birds stick to the trees."
With us, in some years, this an
cient discription of its last three
days will apply to all the others
that precede them. The thoughtful
farmer will the more patiently en
dure the bluster of the month, if he
thinks of the part these uncomfort
able winds play in preparing his
lands for the plow. A March wind
is proverbially a drying one, and it
takes up the moisture left by melt
ing snows with an astonishing rap
idity. These winds are even fertil
izing his fields. As they rapidly
remote the water from the surface,
more comes up from below by
capillary attraction, bringing with
it the plant food it holds in solu
tion ; as this in turn is evaporated,
whatever it contains is left in the
soil, within reach ot the roots of
the crops. It is a mistake to fret
about the weather. However dis
agreeable it may be, if we look
with believing eyes we can see that
every dispensation of Nature is
ever working for our good.
The Care of the Eyes.
At the sanitary convention held
at Ann Arbor, Mich., not long ago,
Dr. C. J. Lundy, of Detroit, read
a paper en "Hygiene in Relation to
the Eye," which should have the
widest circulation, especially among
teachers and school officers. A
fruitful source of eye trouble is
shown to be the excessive strain
upon the muscles and nerves of the
eyes due to faulty educational
methods, the ill planned and in
sufficient lighting of school rooms,
poor ink and fine print in school
books, and other causes which
education might correct.
In conclusion, Dr. Lunday lays
down the following rules for the
better care of the eyes :
1. Avoid reading and study bv
poor light.
2. Light should come from the
side, and not from the back or from
the front.
3. Do not read or study while
suffering great bodily fatigue or
during recovery from illness.
4. Do not read while lying down.
5. Do not use the eyes too long
at a time for near work, but give
them occasional periods of rest.
6. Reading and study should be
done systematically.
7. During study avoid the stoop
ing position, or whatever tends to
produce congestion of the head and
face.
8. Select well printed books.
V. Correct errors of refraction
with proper glasses.
10. Avoid bad hygienic condi
tions and the use of alcohol and to
bacco. 11. Take sufficient exercise in the
open air.
12. Let the physical keep pace
with the mental culture, for asthen
opia is most usually observed in j
those who are lacking in physical
development.
Should ice houses be ventilated ?
is a question that is attracting the
attention of scientists. It seems
that the theory that an ice house
should be so ventilated as to have
a strong current of air sweeping
through it has met with a good deal
of popular favor; but when the ad
vocates of that theory are asked to
state scientific reasons for it, their
efforts to do so are not satisfactory.
"Miss Tmitb,"he asked, as he
drew up his collar and adjusted his
single eyeglass, "do you believe in
the Darwinian theory, that man is

very reverse."

pioyea in a certain way, and panic-

repeatedly and now a long time, are
of remaikable efficacy, and at the
same time are absolutely harmless
and easy of application.
These applications of powder
quickly abort, with very few ex
ceptions, boils and carbuncles.
They arrest the progress of the
disease in the gravest cases, ordi
narily cause the pains to quickly
cease, reduce the fever, disinfect
the purulent and gangrenous cen
ters, hasten resolution, and promc te
the formation of healthy granula

large number ot cases. It assists
surgical interference when that is
necessary.
Finally, it tends to prevent ante
