In the jear 1740, when England
u at war with Spain, the Kliza
brtk, of London. Captain William
Kdwaniit, coming throajh the Gulf
from Jamaica, richly laden, ajt
with a moAt violent atorm, in which
tha ship sprang a leak that obliged
the captain, in order to ave the
live of hia crew, to run into the
Harannah, a Spanish port.
Tha captain went on ahore and
directly waited on the governor,
told the oocaaion of hia putting in,
and that he surrendered the ship
as a prize, and himself and hia men
as prtaonent of war, requesting only
pood quarter.
"No sir," replied the Spanish
jroTernor; ";f we had taken you in
fair war at sea, or approaching our
coast with hostile intentions, your
ship would then have been a prize,
and your people prisoners; but
when, distressed by a tempesr, yon
come into our ports for the
safety ot your lives, we, the ene
mies, baing men, are bound aa such
by the laws of humanity, to afford
relief to distressed men who ask it
of us. We cannot, even against
our enemies, take advantage of an
act of God. Yon have leave, there
fore, to unload your ship, if that be
necessary to stop the leak; yoa may
rent her here, and traffic so far as
shall be necessary to pay the
charges; you may then depart, and
I will give yon a pass, to be in force
till yoa 3re beyond Bermuda; if
after that yon are taken, yoa will
then be a lawful prize; bat now yon
are only a stranger, and have a
stranger's right to safety and pro
tection." Tbe ship accordingly departed,
and arrived safe in London.

Mtrly Affection.
As fathers love their daughters
better than goes, and mothers love
tbeir son s better than daughter..
so do sistern feel towards brothers
a more constant sentiment of at
tachment than towards each other.
None of the little vanities, heart
burn'ngs and jealousies that, alas,
for poor human nature ! are but
too apt to spring up in female
hearts, can, or, at all events,
should arise between brother and
sister; each is proud of the suc
cess of the other, becanse it cannot
interfere with self nay, on the
eontrary, is flattering to self.
Hence, if there be a bond of family
union more free from the selfish
blots that interrupt all others, it is
that which exists beeween an af
fectionate sister and brother.

Mr. l'.mry sen:
i amendment to strike
' and C of the bill.
Sir. LeGrand sent forward an
amendment to strike out in section
17 the figures of ooo and insert
'2.500, as the salary of the com
missioners : also to sfnke out
1,000 and insert rl.-jno as the
salary of the clerk.
Mr. Payne spoke in favor of the
bill, said it had become a necessity.
It was within the province of the
General Assembly to enact the
law. It was not unconstitutional
and he thought public opinion de
manded its passage. It was not
intended to inflict any hardseips ou
the railroad corporations but to
maintain a just and reasonable rate
of freight and passenger tariffs.
Mr. Payne made a most torcible
and able argument from his po
sition .
Mr. Kerr, opposing the bill, made
a splendid legal argument against
the passage of the bill. He was ot
opinion thaff it was in direct con-' and rebuked the opponents in very

The following bills were intro
duced : Mr. Chadwick, to autho
rize the commissioners of More-
head Citv to regulate the sale of
liquors, and to prevent obstruc
tions in New river, Onflow couuty;
Mr. Bridges, to prevent county
commissioners Irom serving more
than one term : Mr. Hargrove, to
amend the ac: lor the protection of
orphan children ; Mr. McGill, to
amend the code m regard to claim
and delivery ; Mr. Bridges, to foster
and promote the interests of poor
colored farmers in Eastern North
Carolina.
The House took up, as a special
order, the bill to appropriate funds
to complete the Governor's man
sion. Mr. Pugh offered an amend
ment to strike out section 4 of the
bill. That section was as follows :
'That the State Treasurer be, and
he is hereby, authorized and di
rected to pay out of any moneys in
the treasuiy. not otherwise appro
priated, the sum of 5,33.04. over
and above appropriations made in
sections 12 and -5 of this act, for the
completion of said mansion, to be
drawn on ihe warrant of the Gov
ernor.'' Mr. .loiiesmade aspeech iu warm
support of the bill in opposition to
this amendment. lie stated that
the building would represent to the
.State, when completed i save the
third floor), almost $"3,000. Only
1 l.",()OU is now needed to complete
the building. The State cannot
get more than ?31,00o for the build
ing. Any business man would
complete the building under such
circumstances.
Fpon a vote, Mr. l'ugh's amend
ment was adopted 1'J to 4G.
Mr. Smith otfered an amendment
that the Governor and counsel sell
the property if they can get 30.000
for it.
Mr. Sutton antagonized this. He
thought that the matter should be
recommitted to the committee.
Mr. Baird offered an amendment
that one half of the Burke square
be sold and the proceeds applied to
the completion of the mansion.
Mr. Lyon wished the bill to go
through as it stood. He thought
the opposition to it arose from a ;
with section 4 stricken out. He
was informed that with the draw
back, the lower story coald be made
habitable. Eather than have the
mansion sold the people of Bun
combe county would furnish tbe
money to complete it. He would
rather see it stand there until it
crumbled into dust, than see it
sold. It was a disgrace to the
State to entertain the idea of a
sale.
Mr. Doughton said the public
squares were granted to the State
solely for public uses of the State.
The first thing the Legislature
knew the whole property would re
vert to the heirs of the original
owner who gave it to the State.
This changed the whole aspect of
affairs. A motion was at once
made to adopt the bill as it origi
nally stood.
Mr. McDonald offered an amend
ment to Mr. Stevens' substitute, to
make the amount ?40,000. This
was voted down, as was Mr.
Stevens' substitute. The vote on
the amendment of Mr. Pagh, to
strike out section 4 was then recon
sidered. That amendment was
then voted down, 56 to 52. The
bill failed to pass its second read
ing, ayes 42, noes 59. The Far
meis' Alliauce men, u was learned,
voted against the bill. Tbe lie
publicans were in great glee at the
result. They voted against the
bill also, and really led in the fight
against it.
MediciDe and Mars.
It is commonly remarked by
foreign thinkers and philosophers
who have studied our national
characteristics, that Americans are
an excitable people, of highly nerv
ous organism, who follow the occu
pation of the moment, whether
business or amusement, with an
intensity oblivious of physical
reaction. Our medical men defend
the truth of this observation, and
at meetings of scientific and pro
fessional authorities circulate pam
phlets with such headings as: ''Is
the American Heart Wearing
; Out!"
i Statistics recently published
seem to indicate that the average
degree of longevity reached by
Americans is considerable less than
that ot Europeans. This would
seem to be true of even the military
men, as the following table of the
ages at death of some of the fore
most commanders of the century
apparently provee:
! American. Grant, 02; Thomas,
5 4: Hancock, G2; Burnside, 57
j Logan, CO; McClellan, 57; Sheridan,
57. European. Manteuffel, 79;
I Bazaine, 77; Wellington, 83; Wran
!gel, 93; William I, 91; Blucher, 77.
Of prominent living generals,
Sherman, aged sixty eight, ia the
oldest among American comman
ders, while von Molike, aged
eighty nine, MacMahon, aged
eighty, Gorgei, aged seventy-two,
and the Duke of Cambridge, aged
seventy, could be named among
Earopeans.

TVsnt of Courage.
A great deal of taleDt is lost to
the world for the want of a little
courage. Every day sends to the
grave a number of obscure men
who have only remained in obscur
ity because their timidity has pre
vented them making the first effort
and who, if they could have been
induced to begin, would, in all
probability, have gone great
lengths in the career of fame.
The fact is, in order to do any
thing in this world, that is worth
doing, we must not stand shivering
on the brink and think of the cold
and danger, but jump in and
scramble as we can. It will not
do to be perpetually calculating
risks and adjusting nice chances.
There is such little time for over
squeamishness at present, the op
portunity so easily slips away, the
very period of his life, at which
man chooses to venture, if ever, is
so confined, that it is no bad rule
to preach up the necessity, in such
instances, of little violence done to
feelings, and of efforts made in de
fiance of strict and sober calcula
tion. Whatever your hand finds
to do, do with all your might.

Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia.
The issue of the tenth volume
calls attention to the rapid progress
which this excellent popular cyclo
pedia is making. The publisher
promised the volumes at intervals
of about a month; he is recently
more than keeping his word. The
volume extends from Cosmography
to Debry, contains about 040 pages
aud about 100 illustrations, hand
somely printed and neatly bound
in cloth, all for 50 cents ! The Man
ifold is more comprehensive than
any other cyclopedia except Cas
sell's (which costs several times as
much), including an unabridged
dictionary of the English language
in addition to ordinary cyclopedia
matter, and though many of the
articles are necessarily brief, they
are sufficiently lull for practical
people, and some articles are sur
prisingly extended for instance,
Cotton occupies 2G Dages; Cran-
nogs, 8 page; Creeds and Confes
sions, 5 pages; Cricket, 4 pages;
Crusades, 0 pages; Darwin and
Darwinian Theory, 17 pages, and
so on. It would be strange indeed
if a cyclopedia ol such great merit,
published at a cost so surprisingly
low, did not reach an enormous
circulation. A specimen volume
may be ordered and returned if not
wanted. John B. Alden, Publish

It would be doing injustice to

If you meet him even in the sun
shine, you seem to feel a whiff as
from an iceberg as he glides by.
In society he is a perfect kill-joy.
You cannot laugh icith him, for he
never laughs; and yoa can no more
laugh at him than at a goblin. If
he ever had emotions, tbey were
frozen in him years ago, past all
hope of thaw. His voice is a sepul
chral monotone, and his speech is
always of coming ill. Things are
never at the worst with him Every
passing misfortune bears a mirror
in its hand "that shows him many
more'' The raven that croaked the
fate of Duncan was a sky-lark to
him. He is gloomier than a rail

The Bright Side.
It was old Isaac Walton who
said, "Every misery that I miss is
a new mercy ;" a saying worthy of
the profoundest philosopher. It is
only too true that misfortunes come
to us on wings, but retire with a
limping pace, and yet we should be
ready to meet calamities cheerfully,
determined to successfully over
come them.
There is scarcely an evil in life
that we cannot double by ponder
ing upon it; a scratch will thus
become a serious wound, a slight
illness even be made to end in
death, by the brooding apprehen
sion of the sick, while, on the other
hand, a mind accustomed to look
upon the bright side of all things
will repel the mildew and dampness
of care, by its genial sunshine.
A cheerful heart paint the world
as it sees it, like a sunny landscape ;
the morbid mind depics it like a
sterile wilderness, ana teat lite
takes its hues of light or shade,
from the character or disposition
upon which it rests. Exchange.
Too Solicitous by Half.
A lady was very solicitous about
her health. Every trifle made her
uneasy, and the doctor was called
in immediately. The doctor was a
skillful man, and, consequently
had a large practice. It was very
disagreeable to him to be so often
called away from his other cases
for nothing, and he resolved to take
an opportunity of letting the lady
see this.
One day the lady observed a red
snot noon her hand, and at once
sent for the doctor. He came

Good books improve the mind and afford valuable aid as educators. The
publishmg house we are dealing with do an immense business and give us
such rates for their books as can not bo obtained by others than publishers.
While these books are real handsome and worthy a place in any 1 ibrary,
one other strong point should not be overlookek, the print. The type is
large, clear, and will not injure the eyes. A largo supply will be kept on
hand, but should any selection not be in Mo:-k it will reqnire only a short
while to order it. Now is a good time to begin or enlargo you a nice
library. Remember that when books aro to be sent by mail, 10c. extra wifl
