THE Washington Post speaking
of the ex Congressmen lately killed
by Mr, Ktncaid, the representative
of the Louisville Times says: Wil
liam Preston Taut bee was thirty
nine years old, of tall figure, with a
frame sinewy and strong. His ap
pearance was that of an intelligent
and good natured gentleman, and
he had many friends. He studied
for the ministry from 1875 to 1878,
and for the law from 1873 to 1881,
when he drifted into politics, and
was elected to the Forty-ninth Con
gress from the Tenth Kentncey
district. He was re-elected to the
Fiftieth Congress, and was one of
foremost speakers of the House.
He was not a candidate for re-
nomination,
It is understood that one of the
measures recommended by the Pan
American Congress is the construc
tion of a continental railroad
through the respective nations re
presented In the Congress, to extend
as far or farther south than Rio
Janerlo, and to tap the chief cities
of the Central and South American
countries, a grand trunk with
braiohes running to the commercial
centres. It is proposed to con s truct
it on the plan of the Pacific rail
roads, by land grants, subsides, &c,
each country through which it runs
adopting such measures as it may
deem best to aid the work. It is a
grand scheme, and as a promoter of
commerce between this country ana
those, throws the ship subsidy busi
ness, with all the subsidy boomers
claim for it, clear Into the shade.
A scheme of this magnitude will, of
coarse, take time, but in these days
of engineering achievements, pluck
and Immense capital, it will not be
many years before it is an accom
plished fact Wi.mington Star.
CHARLESTON NEWS AND COURIER.
The News and Courier is one of
the beet papers iu the country, its

18S9-'90.
Now we will let the News and

PARTY ABOVE COUNTRY.
The high handed and revolu
tionary measures of Reed seem to
have received the approval of the
Repnblicac8,and the unblushing dis
regard of States rights by Repub
lican Senators, as shown in the
admisssion of the Montana Sena
tors, is applauded by administra
tion organs throughout the country.
It is evident that the party in
power will hesitate at notbinghat
will strengthen its savage warfaie
on the States and ihe liberties of
the people.
The next national contest is
narrowing down to the single
question : Shall the Republic of
Washington last, or shall it give
place to the oligarchy of . Reed,
Chandler and Harrison f
McDnffee, in the midst of a great
speech in the Senate said: "The
people of the United States by a
vast and almost countless majori
ty are attached to the Constitu
tion. If theycan be convinced
that it is in danger they will fly
to its rescue and save it."
The sober, dispassionate senti
ment of the American people is
now, and always has been, in favor
of Constitutional liberty, and the
present conduct of the Republican
party is the inevitable prelude to
its destruction. 1
There is not much doubt of the
passage of the bill to refund the
direct land tax to the States which
paid it, for the principle reason that
a very large proportion of the 17,
000,000 paid out,' of the 120,000,000
levied will go to the Northern States.
If the bill should not be . passed,
however, tbe next more would be to
enforce the collection In those States
where it had n ot been paid, which
would take abbot $3,000,000 oat of
the South. Wilmington Star.

THE NEGLECTED INDUSTRY AGAIN.
In yester Jay's paper we called
attention to the canning of fruits
and vegetables as a loDg neglected
industry, and presented facts and
figures to tbow that fruits and
vegetables can
be caDned on the
farm3 of North Carolina at little
expense and wiih great profit to
the producers.
The preMi ' is a most propitious
period for tl;c .: anguration of this
industry.
The cold weather has checked
vegetation generally, and utterly
destroyed eomo of the earliest
crops, but there is no reason to ap
prehend that the yield of fruits
and vegetables of 1890 will be lees
than the average yearly production.
Preparation should be made to
secure it all. Peas, beans, to
matoes, etc , that mature too late
for the Eastern markets can be
canned, and be made to supply the
demands of our home markets.
If this is the result we may yet
have cause to bless the cold north
wind with its snow aDd its frosts.
A Servant's Deroiion to Mis Master.
Kditjr t Journal: The story that
oome to ub from Raleigh of a faithful
old servant of the family of Uhas. .
does, the forger, asking to be allowed
to ef rye out bis young master's sentence
to hard labor on the public roads,
brings to mind the pathetic description
in Scott's "Waverley " of the trial of
Fergus Mac I ver. who was condemned
to death for aiding Charles Edward,
the "Pretender," in his attempt to
overthrow the Bouse ot Hanover.
Wiih Mac Iver was tried an humble
clansman, Evan Dhu MaccombiCh, who,
when allowed by the jadge to speak,
aid :
"I was only ganging to say, my lord.
that if your excellent honour, and the
honourable court, would let Vich Ian
Vobr go free just thi once, and let him
eae back to France, and no trouble
King. George's government again, that
ony six o' the very best of bis clan will
be willing to ba justified in his stead;
and, if you'll just lot me gae down to
Glennaquoicb, I'll fetch them up to ye
mysel, to behead or hang, and you may
begin wi me the very firoC man. "
A sort of laugh -was heard in the
oourt at the extraordinary nature of
the proposal. The judge checked this
indecency, and Evan, looking sternly
around, said:
"If the Saxon gentlemen are laugh
ing because a poor roan, such as me,
thinks my life, or the life of six of my
degree, ia worth that of Vich Ian Vohr,
it's like enough they may be vera right;
butif.tbey laugh tecause they think I
would not keep my word, and come
back to redeem him, I can tell them
they ken neither the heart of a Hie
landman, nor the honour of a gentle
man. "
There was no farther inclination to
laugh among the audiecce, and a dead
silence ensued."
The affection and devotion of the two
bumble followers, so far apart in time
tod circumstances, are muchlike...

Editor Journal: Charity makes our
homes happy, so that clear atmosphere
pervades the surroundings in every in
stance. Io this Btateof mind afrltcttons
come to us chastened. When properly
exercised no imaginary wrongs or vices
cross our paths. Charity, "that think
eth no evil," does not make us morose,
but reminds us of our, frailty, keeps
d)wn our pride, and puts us in proper
relation with the world. It makes the
ties of human brotherhood stronger;
while it beheads kings, and destroys
principalities. Without it, nature lies
despoiled of every charm, and ia
draped ia an iceberir mantle. It give
a 'peculiar charm. It belongs to no sect
or section.
It was charity thai prompted that
patriotic band on t ie Ma; flower to steer
ber course to our shores, to inaugurate
this grand idea of American freedom
free schools, free speech, free papers
and free gifts without complaint.
Taught as we are by our Divine Master
that it is the greatest of all virtues, and
we believe it, because we see it bo beau
tifully illustrated in human experience
as the reciprocal affections in all nature

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
The Water Still Rising A Disastrous
Flood Threatened.
New Orleans, La., March 12 The
Times-Democrat's Helena, Ark., special
says: The river hin crawled up two
inches during ths last twenty-four
hours and it now marks forty-three
feet and rive inches on the guage. Tbe
water is now four feet tix inches below
high water. The rise during the pres
ent week will be gradual. Beginning
next week ic will be more rapid, and
the highest water will reach here Sun
day.
New Orleans, March 12 The Pic
ayune's Greenville, Miss., special says
the river stood here last evening forty
seven and a half feet, and rising Re
ports from the levees along the Missis
sippi side, up to 8 p. m . tay the princi
pal levees were etui in food shape, but
the btrain against them is increasing
every hour. Continuous accompanied
by heavy winds prevailed, und some
disaster seemed doe ifcn probable before
morning. It had been raining very
bard since 2 o'clock, and it was still
coming down in torrents with no indi
cations of any change soon.
All railroads in tbe vicinity of Fort
Smith are suffering from serious wash
out! or lost bridges, and trains are
abaadoned temporarily. At Arkansas
City, on the Mississippi, water from
the fcappmgton nook crevasse has in
undated tbe rear part of the town, and
lands in the back country are being
flo ded. It is not thought, ho 'ever.
that any great damage will result from
the break, as bayous and interior
streams aie capable of carrying the
water away rapidly. All tbe available
boats of the government fleet have been
put into levee service.
A report prevailed that the levee at
Alsatia, Li , twenty miles Bouth of
Lake Providence, had broken, but this
has not been verified.
Balville, Ark., March 12. White
river rose eighteen feet here yesterday,
and is now rising a foot an hour.
St. Louis, March 12. Flood news
from various points along the Missis
sippi river and other streams this morn
ing is that the White and Black rivers
in Arkansas are on the rampage. Both
are out of their banks and overflowing
the country on each side for miles.
Heavy rams have fallen and continue
to fall along these streams, and a gene
ral inundation is looked for. The Black
is a tributary of the White, and the
White empties into the Arkansas just
above tbe point where the latter pours
its flood into the Mississippi. At Fort
Smith, on tbe Arkansas, a rise of over
eighteen feet took place in twenty-four
hours, and at last accounts the swell
was proceeding at a rapid rate. This
great rise, added to the minor floods
pouring out of all the small tributaries,
will greatly add to tbe volume of water
in tbe Mississippi below the mouth of
the Arkansas, and increase tbe peril of
the lower country.

Fayetteville Scottish Chief : Who in

question is asked in any audience in oar

this is not true, for the first telephone

He also invented the first phonograph.
This matter was fully ventilated some

There has been a debt of $1,900 har

B. R. Hall, after preaching a most elo
quent, earnest and stirring sermon,
made an appeal to the members of h i
charge to pay off this debt and free the
bouse of God from the encumbranoes cf
the world. Although there was not a
full attendance of the oongregation yet
the canvass that followed resulted in
raising nearly 82,300 more than was
necessary. So much for the Christian
charity that pervades the congregation
of St. Paul's and the earnest, effective
ministry of its faithful and popular
pastor.

meeting on Tuesday, the terms having
been agreed to by Congressman Rey
burn through his agent. Mr. R. M.

negotiating for the purchase of the
property, he having paid a recent visit
to tbe island. Tbe grounds .abound in
all kinds of wild game, English snipe,
quail, bear, and various wild animals.
Toe "fishing grounds afforded are unsur
passed and .are equal to any along Al
bemarle Sound. There also abound on
the island myriads of wild geese, wild'
duck and swans. Congressman Rey
burn's object in purchasing the island
is to establish there handsome winter
quarters for himself and friends which
they will occupy while on hunting ex
peditions on the island. He will apply
to the Legislature for a charter similar
to those granted to the sporting clubs

After an Absence ol Nearly Thirty
Years.
Oshkosh, Wis., March 10 Fritz Ja
bush walked into the house of his rsla
ivee in this city yesterday afternoon,
after an absence of nearly thirty years.
The story he told was a most romantio
one, for he had long been mourned as
dead. In 1862 Mr. Jabusch enlisted to
the army and went to the front. His
relatives heard from him regularly
until in the summer of 1863, when his
letters ceased after a battle in which
bis regiment had been engaged. His
parents, of course, supposed him dead.
He now states that be was left for
dead on the battlefield, was found by
rebel troops, placed in a hospital, and
when be recovered was imprisoned at
Libby prison. Here he remained over
a year until exchanged, and be found
himself on the Atlantic coast without
money and hundreds of miles from
home. He shipped on board a mer
chantman for the East Indies as a corn-
man seaman, and has followed tbe sea
ever since. He has acquired a com
petency, and decided to settle down in
his old home.
INHBRITED blood poison.
How many people there are whose
distress from sores, aches, pains and
eruptive tendencies are due to inherited
blood poison. Bad blood passes from
parent to child, and it therefore is the
duty of husband and wife to keep their
blood pure. This is easily accomplished
by a timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co
Atlanta, for book of most convincing
proof.
James Hill. Atlanta, Ga., writes
"Mr two sons were afflioted with blood
poison, which dootors said was heredi
tary. They both broke out in sores and
eruDtions which B. B. B. promptly con
trolled and finally oured completely."
Mrs. S. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas,
writes: "My three poor affiieted chil
dren, who inherited blood poison, have
improved rapidly after a use of a. B. ts
It is a Godsend."
J. R. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station,
N. C, Feb. 13, writes: "Bone and blood
poison forced me to have my leg ampu
tated, and On tbe stump there came a
large ulcer, which grew worse every
day and doctors gave me up to die. I
only weighed 120 pounds when I began
to take B. B. B.. and 12 bottles increased
my weight to 180 pounds and made me
sound and well. I never knew what
good health was before." -

Death of Ex-Congressman Taulbec. ;
Those wlo have kept up with the
Washington news have seen accounts
of the shooting of W. P. Taulbee. a
representative from the tenth Kentucky
district in the 49 and 50th Congress, by j
Charles E Kincaid, the Washington !
correspondent of the Louisville Timos, 1
in the House wing of the Capitol, on
tbe afternoon of February 23. Since
the shooting Taulbee has been in a
critical condition, and on Tuesday i
mording died. A brief recital of the !
causes which led to the tragedy is as j
follows: About two years ago, while
Taulbee was a member of Congress,
Kincaid telegraphed to bis paper re-1
ports which were damaging to the !
character of Taulbee' The reports, I
however, appeared in Washington i
papers before tby were sent to
tne Louisville Times. Since the
reports appeared in the Times, there
has been serious antagonism between
Taulbee and Kincaid. Kincaid bad
avoided Taulbee, hut casually they met
on the day of the shooting. The stories
of the shooting differ in one important
particular. Kincaid and Taulbee had
had an encounter some time prior to
tbe shooting in the corridor adjoining
tbe ball of tbe House of Representatives
on the east. It was said juet after the
shooting took place that Kincaid bad
armed himself after bis first encounter
with Taulbee, and seeing him go down
the stairs that led to the basement, bad
tun aiter him. called to him, and. as he
turned, shot him in the face. Kincaid
claims that he armed himself in fear oi
danger from a further- encounter with
Taulbee; that Taulbee bad warned him
to arm himself, and that Taulbee in
sulted and attacked him on tbeir sec
ond encounter, rendering in his opin
ion resort to the pistol a necessitv. The
theory of self-defence will be set up bv
Kincaid s lawyer. As soon as the news
of Taulbee 'a death reached police head
quarters, an officer was sent to Kin
caid's room. He was awakened, and
after be had dressed, was taken to the
police station, where he now is.
A Woman in White Walks for a
Mile
in Her Sleep.
New York.' March 10. Policeman
John Stuart, of the Thirteenth street
squad, saw an apparition this morning.
An hour before daybreak he saw stand
ing at tbe ladies' entrance to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel tbe ta-il figure of a woman
attired in a white night-gown, with
ruffles, and a wrapper thrown loosely
over it. Tbe woman had on hat and
shoes, and carried in one hand a riding
trip, just as the omoer swung bis
club.
The policeman spoke: "What are
you doiog bere r1 and touched her
shoulder. At the voice and touch the
woman gave a sudden start and woke
np. Then with a shriek she dropped at
the polioeman's feet. Seeing herself
suddenly revealed in the role of a sleep
walker had almost undone her.
When she recovered enough to walk
the policeman took her down to Captain
Keilly's station house, where she was
fitted out with a dress and proper
clothing to keep her warm. She was
benumbed with cold.
To the tergeaat she said that she was
May Case, an opera singer, and lived at
21 Great Jones street. The last she re
membered was going to bed and to
sleep in her own room.
In the early morning hours she had
arisen, put on her hat and shoes, and
gone up Broadway probably all the
way to Madison Square, without know
ing what she was doing and without
meeting on her whole route a polioe
man to wake her up. Her route lay
through two precincts, the Fifteenth
and Nineteenth, and she went over the
posts of at least a dozen or fifteen pat
rolmen, whom she failed to encounter,
unless, indeed, she frightened them
from her path. The sergeant sent her
home I
