the dutiable character of any par

in the first place by the Collector of
Customs at the port where it ar
rives, after due inspection of the
importation. He said further that
while the dutiable character of in
sects does not appear to have been
considered by tbe Department, the
provision in the Tariff act prescrib
ing a duty of 20 per cent, ad valorem
on live animals has at various times
been held to be applicoble to bees,

CHIVALRY.
We are no apologist of rowdyism.
It is despicable. Bat chivalry is
admirable. It gains women's smile
and man's applause.
The South has long been known
as the lana oi cnivairy. n mere
are those who employ the word as
a reproach, there are thousands
who clasp it to their bosoms and
eDsbrine it in their hearts.
.. . . m l i T . I
Chivalry is characteristic i h
Southern geutlman, but it is
not confined to this Southland.
Wherevur among men there is a
heart loyal to the trinity of S"iith-
era virtues me uonor oi man, iue
purity of woman, and the sanctity
of religion there chivalry has its
home !
Certain Northern papers are
pleased to nse the term "Southern
Chivalry" derisively, as if the hap
pening of a qunrrel in New York or
in the arctic zone, between scions
of Southern blood, could take from
this fair land its God-vouched heri
tage of princely graces and manly
virtues.
While chivalry is characteristic
of the South, rowdyism is confined
to no locality. The trail of the
serpent is seen alike in brake an
fen, and among fragrant shrubs
and blooming flowers.
Tbe New York papers are now
chuckling over "an affair" which
had its origin in the "Southern
Club." One of them sajs: "A
couple of Southern gentlemen, one
from long Virginia and the other
from ancient Kentucky descent,
quarrelled in the Southern Club
over a trivial matter the other
afternoon. They had the decency
to get out of the cluo nouse im
mediately on passing the lie, but
they were imbecile enough to fight
on a public street in New York city
as soon as they reached it." And
this "affair" is heralded abroad as
a disgraceful thing, illustrative of
Southern chivalry !
Perhaps these men are chivalric
gentlemen, otherwise they might
have fought in the club room, or
like ill-bred curs, have pocketed in
sults tbey dared not resent. But
this ao it may be, there are a thou
sand instances of brutal rowdyism
in New York to ona like that which
now gives notoriety to the Southern
Club; and this is paraded because
the parties are men of Southern
blood.
Tbe hideous crime pepetrated at
Barnwell is declared to be the off
spring of Southern chivalry, when,
in truth, tbere is as little affinity
between them, as there is between
the burning lava of Vesuvius and
the flower gardens of Italy.
EXIT TUE SURPLUS DUTY OF THE
DEMOCRACY.
Immediately after the inaugura
tion of the present Administration
the Journal prophesied tbe Bpeedy
elimination of the surplus from the
perplexing problems of the day.
Very soon after the meeting of the
fifty-first Congress it become evi
dent that tbe advocates ot protec
tion would see to it that the de
mand fer a bigh tariff should not
be embarrassed by the- presence
of an unusual surplus in the treas
ury, and now comes the Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs, with
recommendations which, if carried
oat, will make the national treasury
as empty as a beggar's purse.
They approve, in general terms,
the bill introduced by Mr. Hale,
authorizing tbe President to have
constructed eight battle ships of
from 7,500 to 10,000 tons each ; two
armored coast defense vessels;
three gunboats of Troin 800 to
1,200 tons each, and five first class
torpede beats.
Tbe Messenger's
Washington
special further says :
"The Policy Board, in their re
port to the Senate, will recommend
tbe construction of 102 vessels oi
different types aad sizes. These
will be built, according to the plan
of the Board, ia fourteen years,
and will cost, together with their
maintenance during the lourteen
years, 2u,uiH),uuu. xnev say tne
maintenance of a neet of vessels,
such as they propose, would be only
one quarter that of keeping up the
same number of old style vessels.
a a a
"One of these vessels is to be
of 7,600 tons and her design pre
sents some remarkable features,
whiob may be more clearly under
stood from the statement of the
results they are expected to give ;
namely, a speed of between twenty-one
and twenty-three knots an
hour ; ability to cruise 16,000 miles
on one coal supply; guns equal to
anything afloat and a battery so
arranged as to enable fire of the
entire armament to be concentrated
upon any point."
All this is magnificent ! It fore
tells America's supremacy on the
Beas, and the triumph of her flag in
every clime. But it marks a furth
er departure from the principles on
which the Government was founded
and a continuation of the burdens I i0Dg an(i wasting illness. In many
that rest so heavily on our people. households there are persons who seem
, . , .. . .. r I to be fading out of life slowly. There
Our fathers felt that it wasiarji9 a general debility that indicates a
hotter to have a noor Government lack of vital foroe. The blood seems to
and a rich people than it was to
have a rich Government and a
poor people. Tired of the splen
dors of monarchy, they sought to
establish a Government representa
tive of national independence and
personal liberty, under whose pro
tecting segis the arts and sciences
would flourish, commerce expand,
labor have its leg iti mute rew.irds
atKi happiness aliide in the homes

alike the cottage and the palace,
Equal rights and privileges was to

The Democratic party sprang
into being as tlie champion of the
people. No court of arms is em
blMZ ied od its bauner. All through
the j ears of its eventful life it has

Jealous of the national honor and
ever re uiy to maintain if, ita first
and highest obligation is to the
people of these States.
Domestic thralldom is no less
detested than foreign oppression.
The tariff must be reduced, and all
the trooping battalions that follow
in its train be banished from tbe
land. This is the first duty of tbe
Democracy. Give us prestige
among the nations, but first restore
unto us the prosperity of our homes.
Let our reapers go to the field with
exultant song, and the music of
the anvil, the saw and the hammer
keep time to the joyous pulsatkm
of happy hearts. Then will our
land yield her increase, and onr
desolate places he as the garden of

How to Cook a Husband.
A good many husbands
are
spoiled by mismanagement.
Some women go about it as il
their husbands were bladders, and
blow them np. Others keep them
constantly in hot water: others let
them freeze. Some keep them in a
stew. Others toast them. Some
keep them in a pickle all their
lives.
It cannot be supposed that any
husband will be tender and good,
managed in tbis way; but tbey are
really delicious when properly
treated.
In selecting your husband you
should not be guided by the silvery
appearance, as in buying mackerel;
nor by the golden tint, as if you
wanted salmon, select him your
self. Do not go to the market for
bim, as the best are always brought
to your door.
It is far better to have none uu
less you will patiently learn how to
cook him. A preserving kettle of
the liuest porcelain is tbe best; but
if you have nothing but an earthen
pan, it will do.
See that the linen in which yon
wrap him is nicely washed and
mended, with the required number
of buttons and strings nicely sewed
ou. Tie him in the kettle with a
strong, silk, comfortable cord; or
the doty string is likely to give
way (husbands are apt to fly out of
the kettle and be bnrned and crusty
ou tbe edges, since, like crabs and
lobsters, you have to cook them
alive).
Make a clear, steady fire, and
practice neatness and cheerfulness.
Set him as near this as seems to
agree with him. If he sputters
and fizzes do not be anxious; some
husbands do this till tbey are quite
done.
Add a little sugar in the form of
what confectioners call kisses, but
no pepper or vinegar on any ac
count. A little epice improves
them, but it must be used with
judgment.
Do not stick any sharp instru
ment into him to see if he is be
coming tender. Stir him genth;
watch the while, lest he lie too flat
and close to tbe kettle, and so be
come useless. You cannot fail to
know when he is done.
If thus treated, you will find him
very digestible, agreeing nicely
with you and the children, and he
will keep as long as you want, un
less yon become careless, and set
bim in too cold a place. Selected.

Demorest's Magazine.
Every woman in America ought
to read the article "Women of
Siam" in Demorest's Family Mag
azine for February, to know how
happy her lot really is. The for
cible contrast between our progres
sive civilization and that of the far
East has seldom been so strikingly
presented to our notice as in this
readable article, illustrated in part
by drawings made by a native
Siamese artist, which compare
curiously enough with the fine ex
amples of our modern illustrative
art in this same number. The other
beautiful illustrations (nearly two
hundred) include an exquisite full
pge gravure on heavy plate paper,
entitled "How Long!", portraits ol
the venerable Dom Pedro, deposed
emperor of. Brazil, and his family,
and as if these were not sufficient
attractions for any publication, the
past is made to yield us its treas
ures, and the time "When Grand
mamma Was Young" is portrayed
for us in charming pictures and
descriptions. From grandmamma
to baby, who will be delighted with
the funny "Japanese Paper Frog,"
no member of the family has been
sligh'ed in compiling tbn num
ber. ,
Demores'.'s is justly celebrated
as a "Family" Magazine, and this
issue is l'aily up to its reputation.
Its useful departments are replete
with information, as usual: a Sup
plementof beautiful fancy-costumes
enriches the Fashion Department,
a thrilling temperance poem, by
the author of "Curfew Must Not
Ring To-Night," will appeal to every
mother's heart, and a full quota of
delightful stories, etc., render tbis
February number an unusually
attractive one. But one of the
most attractive features of this
remarkable Family Magazine is its
price, onl $2 00 per year. Pub
lished by W. Jennings Demorest.
15 East 14th St., New York.
Health Hints.
Don't shake a hornet's nest to
see if any of the family are at
home.
Dou't try to take the right of
way from au express train at a rail
road crossing.
Don't go near a draft. If a draft
comes towards you, run away. A
sight draft is the most dangerous.
Don't blow in the gun your
grandiather earned in the war ot
1812. It is more dangerous now
than it was then.
Don't hold a wasp by the other
end while you thaw it out in frout
of the ?tove to see if itis alive. It

Stay In North Carolina.
Editor Journal. Please allow me a
small space is your most interesting
paper, to say to my friends, and farm
ers in general, that they need not leave
Old North Carolina, for there is plenty
of good land here. I left New Berne
in the year 1886 from the service of Mr.
J. A. Meadowa and went to Morgan's
Swamp, Dr. F. Duffy's place, and in
the above year my wife and I, with
scarcely a pound of meat or a bushel of
corn to start on, with hoe and ax in
hand, went to work moving logs and
diging up the ground, and we made in
1886 seventy-five barrels of oom besides
sweet potatoes and other things. In
1887 the Doctor let me have a male and
I worked on halves, and made 100 bar
rels of corn, 160 dollars worth of cotton,
plenty of sweet potatoes, 600 pounds of
neat and chickens by the. dozen. In
188S I bought me a mule for 125 dollars
and paid for him, and made 80 barrels
of corn, 7000 pounds of cotton, 800
pounds of meat besides other supplies.
In 1889 I made 105 barrels of corn, 140
dollars worth of cotton. 70 bushels of
sweet potatoes, 1000 pounds of meat,
with other things. t
Allow me to say that these results
were not obtained by idleness; and any
one doubting tbe above statements may
ask any reliable man of township No. 2.
or Dr. F. Duffy. So take courage, boys,
and try again, as there is plenty of
land, and don't give the old State a bad
name.

painful sickness to robust health marks an

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 14. Twelve I
to eighteen inches of snow have fallen
in the western end of the Territory.
The snow has crusted, and, with the
freezing of the water, cattle, sheep and
horses are perishing all over the range.
An owner yesterday received word j
from bis ranch in that section that
scarcely au animal that could not be
fed would survive.
Horses haye worn their hoofs to t ie
quick trying to beat through the crust
ed snow. Cattle and sheep are help
less; game has been driven from tbe
mountains, and antelope have been '
killed within the city limits of Evans-
ton while the stock has drifted to the
railway. Saturday and Sunday were
intensely cold, and two men were
frozen to death.

cotton-laden train was running from
Perry & Harrison's station, on tbe

WALKER BLAINE DEAD,
Washington. D. 0.. Jan. 16. Walker
Blaine, eldest son of the Seoretarv of
State, died last night at 8:20 o clock at
his father's residence, on Lafayette
Square, after a brief illness of pneu
monia, without even premonition to
those who had watched at hie bedside.
He can be recorded as a vietim of the
prevailing epidemic, the la grippe, for,
although the physician says that pneu
monia was tha direct cause of death,
tbe one follows upon the other to such
fatal ends in so many cases that they
may be accounted together parts of one
disease. Walker Blaine was thirty-five
years of age and unmarried. He was
born in Augusta, Me., May 8, 1855, and
graduated at Tale College and Colum
bia law school.

THE LA GRIPPE.
Chicago. Jan. 16, Reports received
at tbe Health Office yesterday were not
of an enoouraging nature, 11 of 87
death certificates baying the words
"Influenza" on the line after the cause
of death. The number of victims of
"grip" was the same as that reported
Tuesday, but the increase of deaths
from other diseases was something
alarming it being larger by 178 than
on the previous day.
New York, Jan. 16. Health officers
were right when they announced their
belief a week ago yesterday, that the
epidemio of influenza -had reached its
height. On that day the mortality in
this city reached 250. Today,, after fall
ing off steadily during the week, the re
cord stands exactly one-half. Of these
23 are due to pneumonia; to bronchitis.

A great flood prevails in the Little
Wabash river, in Illinois. Hundred
of people have been compelled to aban
don their homes, and the farmers have
suffered severely. It is expected thai
the waters will rise still higher, in
which event great suffering would re
sult. Four young negro girls, of the Karoo
tribe, from Sierra Leone, arrived at

HE WALKED HOME.
One Negro who Couldn't Be Made to
Stay in Arkansas.
Yesterday afternoon a negro, foot sore
and limping from lameness, arrived in
Charlotte by the Air Line Road, having
walked every foot of the way from At
lanta. He was making his way back
to his old home at Wilson, N. C. He
gave his name as George Newton, and
said that he left this State nine months
ago for Arkansas. A group of gravel
train hands were interviewing him
when a News reporter came up. George
was telling tbem a tale of woe. One
third of the negroes who went out
tbere with him, he said, are dead. The
great trouble is to get drinkiDg water.
He stood it as long as he could, and
then, failing to make money enough to
get him passage home, he boldly struck
out on foot. He left Arkansas on tbe
30th of last November. He got several
lifts on freight trains between there and
Atlanta, but he had walked the entire
distance from Atlanta to Charlotte.
'It Is easy enough to get out there," be
said, "but getting back home is a dif
ferent matter. You oan't get any emi
grant agents to pay your fare back this
way, but you have to piy regular first
olass rates. Hundreds of negroes would
come back today, if they could raise
the money." George says there is
great dissatisfaction among the ne
groes who have emigrated weBt, but
they are there and cannot help them
selves. The railroad hands here gave
George, a good supper and sent him on
his way refreshed. Charlotte News.
