Turner, tne "ice man" statesman of New York, is an illustration of the kind of man we like. With native genius supplemented by industry, he rose from tbe position of. driver of an ice wagon -in the city of New York, to an honored place in the Congress of the United States ; but he has recently wo 1 a viotory in which he has the sympathy of every genuine man in the country. The National Democratsays : "Congressman Charles U.Turner, the 'ice man' statesman from New York, finds it easier to succeed in politics than in love, but persis tency has made him a winner in both. His engagement to Miss Winnie W. Lewis, the daughter of a good New Hampshire . family, has just been announced, and ends a rom&Ctio chapter in tbe lives of both the now happy people. Cases are not uncommon in which the proud parents of a young woman prevent for a while the choice of a husband, and in which tbe aspiring youth, after a tremendous 'hust ling,' wins the whole family oer and carries off his bride. 'Iceman' Turner had won the consent of Miss Lewis, bnt was not acceptable to the family so the engagement was broken off. Then Congress man Turner appeared. and as a legislator ot his country was ad mstted to tbe home of the yonng woman's uncle in Washington. When Miss Lewis visited the gal leries of tbe House, Congressman 1 Turner realized his opportunity to attain a crowning victory. He asked for 10 minutes to speak on the Oklahoma question, and did' so right eloquently ; every one said that fn elocution and diction the effort was commendable, and not a few knew that Mr. Turner's 'best: girl' was the most interested listen er. JU.ISS juewis s motner read Mr. Turner's speech and her tardy blessing has now been secured." PARTY ORGANIZATION. ! lu all the States in which elec lions have been recently held the Democrats have been victorious. This is not accidental, but it is the natural result of education, organization and efficient manage ment. The time is not far distant when elections will be held in North Carolina, and it becomes us to pre pare for the approaching contest. In tne congressional election next all the people must ratify. or con demn the atrocious conduct of Reed and his confederates in con spiracy, against constitutional gov ernment. North Carolina con tributed three members to the traitor band that sustained the usurper, and every true Democrat aDd patriotic Republican should i see to it that the places now dis honored by Ewart, Brower and Cheatham are filled by representa tives of the patriotism, virtue and intelligence of North Carolina. We are no advocate of any trick by which the will of a majority is defeated, but we are in favor of that organization and discipline which in a just cause lead only to victory. With judicious management, and wise and resolute action, the next Congress will be Democratic. At all events North Carolina must do her part towards the glorious con. summation. If there are hinderances in the way they mast be removed. Personal partiality must yield to public necessity, and a united party move forward with invincible resolution. Fortunately there are no. ele ments of Democratic discord in this district. All are united in the advocacy of the immortal prin ciples that are the corner stones of the temple of liberty, and with one accord our people demand the re tarn of F. M. Simmons to the National House of Representatives. We trust that the districts now represented by Ewart and Brower will be redeemed, and that North Carolina will have a solid Demo cratic delegation in the Fifty Second Congress. THK MISSISSIPPI ITER. As long as the world lasts we shall be confronted with problems. It' cannot be otherwise. Changes are constantly occurring, and it is the' part ot reasen to direct to right action whatever may be onr surroundings. The race issue presents one of these problems. Upon it pbiloso phy and statesmanship have ex nans ted themselves, and we now stand, with uncovered heads, awaiting the solution by Time and Providence. Another problem of tbe day, if not the supreme Question of the hour, is presented by tbe Missis slppi river. How can we say to the great father of waters, "Thus far shalfe thou come, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed f Gen. C. B. Comstock, president of the Mississippi. River Commis Lsion, in an interview pnblished in the New York Tribune, says: Tbe dispatches,; General Com stock continued, indicated that the water had reached a higher leVel than had been known before. Dis cussing the precautions which should be taken to guard against tbe damage incident to the fre onent. floods in the river and the various plans which had been pro posed, General Comstock said: "The Mississippi Biver Commis sion has lately been engaged in building up and strengthening tbe levees between Memphis and v lcks burg, and I am convinced thnt this is the only way to flgbt the angry waters. Tbe simplest and most natural method is to increase the height of the barriers, of course making them sufficiently strong, so that the water cannot possibly now over them." The levee system has been great protection to settlers on the banks of the Mississippi, and we would not advocate its abandon ment. The levees from Cairo to New Orleans should be strengthen ed, and new ones should be con etructed wherever experience de monstrates that they are needed But levees alone will not afford adequate protection to life and property. The capacity for out flow must be greater than the actual inflow, and "no system.oi levees can be made to successfully answer conditions such as periodi cally arise when the Mississippi through its several mouths die chafges only 1,100,000 cubic feet per second, while the in flow, at and from Carlo south to tbe mouth of the Bed river, is 2,100,000 cubic feet per second." Such a volume of water, so much greater than the river can hold, must ot necessity go over the river's bank if it cannot go out of the river's mouth. Now tbe question arises, can the mouths of the Mississippi be deepen e"d bo as to discharge this immense volume of water and thus prevent inundation T We believe they can. The jetties at the mouth of the river have deepened the channel, and they can be bo ex tended as to bring the desired re lief. The cost will te very great, but jt will be insignificant in comparison ith, the result that will follow. Bat suppose the jetty system is found to be impracticable, what then! Canals must be constructed. In tbe language of the New York World, "sooner or later men must face the fact that the Mis sissippi river cannot be con fined, in time of flood, with in the narrow bounds which serve at other times. At whatever cost there must be provided some side outlet for its waters which shall temporarily relieve their pres sure with the least possible dam age, and the sooner this task is undertaken with an intelligent comprehension of the conditions to be met the smaller the cost will be. That is the lesson of the floods, and men must learn it or suffer for their ignorance." MR. CALHOUN'S LKTTER. We surrender our editoi ial col umn this morniDg to Mr. Calhoun's letter on ihe "Neglected Industry." If onr farmers are to be benefited by his valuable suggestions they j should lose no time in making their preparations. The country is grentlv in need of taiilT lefoi uj, teouoniv in public expenditures, ami improved edu cational facilities, but if our people would be prosperous they must husband their resources and be come sell Mistaiinug. me oest ! Federal Government can not atone ; for improvidence and wasteuilness ' on the part of its subjects : ''To the Editor of the News and Courier : I wrote an article last week on the pickling business, which was largely copied through out the South. Iu consequenee I have been overrun with inquiries from your section from persons who wished to know further regard ing the business of canuing and pickling. For the benefit ot those interested I will enter more fully into t he details of the bn.incs. I have travelled South, ;md it was indeed surpnsiug that one sees large quantities of canned goods sold in the South, and with but few exceptions they are packed by Northern packing houses. This has heretofore been the case, but the go ahead spirit of the New South demands reform, and in a tew years hence the industry will be found thriving everywhere iu the Southern States, and the Northern packer will be forced to seek other markets. UTILIZING THE LATE TRVCK. Your farmers, more especially your truckers, have been satisfied wiMi large profi:s realized by early shipments, bnt when the Virginia and Maryland product came in market it did not further pay your truckers to ship, consequently housands of acres of prime slock for canning and pickling purposes has been allowed to waste for want of some means of utilizing it; the same can be said of your Imits. The South raises large quantities of fruits, which but little is realized on, and the bulk ot the crop is al lowed to decay lor cannmg facul ties. These fiuits and vegetables you have allowed to waste could be put up in your markets and hand some profits realized ; but instead the South depends on the North to supply her with the very article she has thrown away. In Maryland and elsewhere farmers do not eDjoy the advantages realized by the Southern trucker. The Southern farmer has been well paid, and his profits have been large for the pro duce; be has shipped to early markets, consequently when the product of Maryland comes in the prices are down, and we are com pelled to Bell in competition with the Southern product. The South ern farmer can, therefore,' realize on his early shipments, and after it does not pay to ship the surplus can be utilized for cannine pur poses. THE FAEMEHs' CHANCE FOE A SURPLUS. We have thousands of farmers in Maryland who plant their crops for this purpose alone. They cure their own crops and will perhaps in addition buy up their neighbor's, and at the close of tbe season have a thousand or two dollars to add to the profit of the farm account. Because rtie Southern trucker has already realized a profit is no reason why he should abandon his surplus. It would give employ ment to numbers of persons during tbe canning season. Here in Maryland thousands depend on this industry for a living. Large numbers are given employment in the factories the year round can ning fruits, vegetables, fisboysters, etc., which could be done in your section to greater profit. Labor is cheap and plentiful aad you enjoy every advantage of a good market, with an abundance of fruit, vege table, fish and oysters. Your lands are rich, and your climate adapted to vegetable culture. As regards operating a canning factory the Southern farmer has been under the impression that it required large capital, combined with long business experience, but they are beginning to realize that they can operate this canning and pickling factory in addition to their other duties. A farm hand can learn the process in one day, as no prerious knowledge is necessary. I have naa numerous inquiries irom per sons woo wished to start in a small way; others in a large way. The process of pickling up pickles is very simple, and a start can be made on a very few dollars that would keep several persons busy for six months in- tbe year. Ir would pay to combine the pickling business with that ol canning, as the same machinery will answer for both purposes. '. COST OF AN OUTFIT An outfit that will can 2,000 3 pound cans per day will cost com plete $150; that of a 5,000 3 pound can outfit will cost complete $225. The cans will cost for 3 pound $2.40 or less per hundred; 2 pound; $1.80 per hundred; for pickles the bottles can be had very clitap. Pickles can also be put up iu barrels aud kegs, in bulk, bothplain and. with mustard, spices, etc; bat when put up iu bottlt s, nicely labelled, they command a ready sale at paying prices, A canning outfit can be put up by the most inexperienced per son used with steam power, or can be put in brick the same as sugar boilers. When steam is already used on a farm for other purposes it can be easily attached to your canning machinery, but it answers the same purpose to simply set in brick, as described aboved. The carning business is a clean profit able business; there is nothing dis agreeable about it, and as so little money is required to make a start, and the profit connected with it so large, it is surprising that so little attention is paid to the business. I will take great pleasure in giving! all the information I can to your readers in reference to both cann iug and pickling, and, if desired, will give full particulars in refer ence to putting up vinegars, cat sups, sauces, etc., I am convinced that your farmers have overlooked this important branch of industry, and depend too much on a ioreign market for goods which they could find a payiDg market at home for, in supply ing the wholesale and re tail trade, and'with a better article than is now sold in the Charleston and Carolina markets.

We labor and labor, but there is just as much necessity for recrea tion aa lor labor. We cannot live without it not even the laboring man. Exercise is all well enough; but it most be the right kind. 3 he mind as well as the body wants exercise. But it wants something else, as well as the bodj; it wants a change; it wants to get into a Dew channel, to get new life infused into it. TlrusJt will rest the limbs to labor. It rail rest and strength en the mind to be diverted. We should lay out our plans for recrea tion as well as for work. There never was a truer saying than that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Dyspepsia settles opon people. If they 8tis about and act, mentally and physically, there is no chance for it to do this. So the blues, ennui and tedium may all be dissi pated in this way. They are but the same one general thing, bred by doing nothing, or doing only one thing. We must get out ot the one rut, if we have Wen in that alone, and taste the variety of lite. Man was made for it; it is the habit from time immemorial, and rannot be dispensed with. With it come health and enjoy ment. Criticising one Another. See a couple of girls when they are introduced, or when they first meet at a ball or a bowling party; see how coldly critical they look at each other, how insolently their eyes rove over- every portion of their rival's dress; read id their faces the outspoken scorn as the result of their Bcfutiny. "You think you have done it very well, but you have made a fright of yourself, and I am much better than you," Marie's eyes observe as they regard Ethel. Watch the girls' disdain of the more admired among them; and how excessively naughty for at tracting so much attention they think that Vernona is about whom the young men cluster. How bold she is ! how affected she is ! and, oh ! how plain she is ! Sometimes, if they are cute, they will over praise her enthusiastically ; but the ruse is generally too transparent to deceive, and simply counts what it is a clever feint that won't do It is quite a study to watch the way in which girls shake hands to gether, or take1 hands in t he dances The limp, cool, impertinent way in which they just touch palms, thn let their arms fall paralvzed. tells a volume to those able to read the lettering. A Very Lire Old Man. John (jr. Whittier, who is now eighty two years old, is about the livest man of his generation. He is vigorous both in body and mind, and can do as good work as ever His last poem, "The Captain's Well," which he wrote for the New York Ledger, in hia eighty second vear. is one of the strongest, most beautiftl, and most finished pro ductions that ever came from his pen. Mr. Whittier, iu sending "The Captain's Well" to the Led ger, wrote to the publishers of that paper that it .would probably be the last poem he would ever write, but we hope that in this he was mistaken. The venerable poet did not fix any price upon "The C ip- tain's Well," bnt left the remunera tion to Messrs. Robert Bonner's Sons, and ihey seut him a check for a thousand dollars. Such unu sual liberality touched the old man deeolv; especially because (as he characteristically wrote) it enabled him to give more than he had hoped to be able to bestow upon certain charitable enterprises that were near to his heart. It is seldom that so modest, peaceful and useful a life as John ti. Whittier's is lived upon this earth, and millions of the aged poet's admirers and mends are gratified to know that there is good promise that his lite may be yet spared for many years. IVc'll Suppose p Case. You are nervous and dyspeptic, your appetite flags, your sluckber is broken or diBturbod by uneasy dreams, or you court the sleepy god in vain. What shall you do? Try an alcoholic excitant co stimulate appetite, deaden the nerves at bedtime with a narcotic.' JN either of these. Try Hostetter's Stpmach Bitters. It will, believe us, be more) than a trial. You will continue to use tttis justly re nowned nerve invigoran and stom achic. It is in the exigency supposed just what ia wanted. It is a healthlul stimulus to appetite and digestion, does not excite, but, quiets the' brain and nerves, is an excellent diuretic and a speedy reformer of a disordered con dition of the liver and bowela. It coun teracts a tendency to rheum auism, nul lifies tbe prostrating effeotsoi over work, mitigates tbe infirmities, of age, and hastens convalescence. (Persons exposed to rough wuather shouM use it as a preventive, as should alsw tired sludeDts and business men ' The woman who preten is to laneh at love is like tbe chili who Kiriffs at nieht when it is afraii Hunting Comrades. I' you see two old hunters going out lor game in company, you will observe that they never interfere with one another. Xew men, those who are just serving their apprenticeship, are usually anxious to be ahead. They want tbe credit of being the first to see the game. They want also, perhaps, the first shot. They do not consider that it two beads come in sight over a ridge, the chances that they will be observed are just twice ss great as if only one appears. They seem to think,too,that Provi dence is looking out for them in some especial way, and that game will be deaf and blind to their blunbers, though fully alive to those of others. Old hunters act very differently. It is understood by them that the man who is ahead is to do the hunting. The one behind, while keenly scanning the country to see anything that may present itself, aud which may have escaped the ! eye of his companion, never inter feres with him, but awaits li ia direction, lie is ready at a sign t j creep up beside his leader aud shoot, or he is equallv prepared to lie down where he is, and to wait there for an indefinite time, or he i will make a long round to start the ' game by giving it his wind or I showing himself to it, so as to 1 drive it in some desired direction. For the time being the man who is in the lead is commander, and if t ne two nave hunted in company otren eaough to understand each other, they work together with most perfect system. Another thing that you will notice snout two old hunters is that they never try to shoot ether at game. One or the other takes tbe shot, aud if it fails, then they do the best tbey can. They know very well that it is almost impossible for two men to shoot at the same time without each being a little thrown off his balaice, and they conclude rightly that, the two being both fair shots, there is more likelihood that one ball from a deliberately aimed rifle will kill, than that two, eaeh of which will be more or less hastily delivered, will reach the mark they are aimed at. Forest and Stream. Abont the Weather. So far the Winters of 1889 and 1890 have been pretty much alike. The years 115 and 1816 were also very mild. I often heard my father talk about those Winters, and in this short article 1 will try and give some of the facts as my father gave them to me. In 1815 very little snow fell in November, and Decem ber; in January, 1816, it was mud; tbe sun was shining most .every day during the month. The people thought February would be cold, but that month turned out very warm also. The month of March was cold and stormy. A great many people called the year, a year without a Summer. In April it was very cold; during May the ice was one inch thick on some streams. The fruit tree blossoms and the young corn were frozen. Some farmers built large fires around their fields and the smoke and heat saved Bome of the yonng corn. In Jnne snow and ice could bd found; vegetables were a failure. When the rye was in blossom, six 1 tches of snow fell, and some far mers took long lines, went across their fields and pulled off the snow. All the farmers that did that got no rye; those who ,left the snow on got about half a crop. The 4th of July was very cold and windy; on the 5th ice formed on tbe waters of New York, Pennsylvania and some of the other Eastern States. In August, ice formed half an inch thick; September and October were warm. All crops were a failure. Corn sold for from $4. 50 to $5 per bushel. On January 14th, 1890, a man told me that he saw dande lions and cherry trees in bloom, also, saw robins and heard frogs croak. On Jannary 20tb, light rain; 2 1st, fair and very warm; on the morning of the 22d the ther mometer was down to 12 degrees, and the wind blowing at the rate of about 40 miles per hour all diy D. N.

Uo to Jovent (Jarden to night and see Liston perform; if that has no enect go again to morrow; that will do it. Two doses of Liston will restore a melan choly madman. There go go." Luton was taken aback, tipped hia guinea, and made a spectacular exit. Overflow Lands. Best Crop fjr Them The lands on Boanoke river in this State are very rich, but sub ject to overaow, which causes enormous losses. Can you suggest some crop not liable to injury by freshets ? Will Kentucky hemp dof W. C., Kaleigh, N. C. Answeb. It depends on at what period of the year the lands in question are most subject to over flow. We cannot suggest any crop that would not be injured by over flow except probably grass, and especially for pasture. Such lands in Georgia would yield a very profi table return if set in Bermuda grass, the vitality of which would not be affected by even a prolonged overflow. If grass be sown for bay alone the crop would be seriously injured, if not ruined, if overflowed by muddy water at or near the time of mowing. We have no doubt the practice of your most successful farmers who cultivate similar land would be the safest guide to follow. We are not famil iar enough with the cnlture of hemp to give an opinion. Perhaps some reader will inform us whether hemp would be injured by an over flow. IS LIFE WORTH LIVING? Not if yon go through the world a dyspep tic. Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets are a posi tive cure for the worst forms of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Flatulency and Constipation. Guaranteed and sold by R. Berry, Ner barn,N. C. I stood to-day upon the ridge Where once the blue briaJos were massed, And gazed upon the phiiu below, O'er which the charging columns passed. And sauntering downward somewhat sad, Ameng the stones no longer stained, I came upon a little mound That only the front rank had gained ; A little mound left all alone. Unmarked by ilower or cypress reath To show that some regretful heart Remembered him who slept beneath. But half-way hidden hy the grass, I found a broken barrel stave; The headboard which some focmui's hand Had kindly placed upon the grave. And on it traced thes" touching words. In letters I could .-. arte divine; ''A rebel name, unknown, who fell First in the foremost line.'' uou s peace ne will: tnee in thy lest, Lone dweller in I lie stranirer's land.

WZATHII SOMKTI1INO l',:W "I IKLI.LY (ITSIOL'S. t Some people desire a weather calendar in their almanacs, lttily believin'r, no doubt, that weather may be foretold by the phase of the moon. As far better however than prognostications of such a kind, we copv the following, said to have been composed by Dr. Jennet, as an ex cuse for not acc-ptinsr tho invitation of a friend to maiie an excursion with him. The hollow winds begin to blow, The cloinis lojk black, the irlass is low, I'be soot falls down, the spaniels sleep, And spiders from their cobwebs peep, Last night the sun went pale to bed, Tbe moon in palor bid her head ; The boding shepherd heaves a sigh, For, see a rainbow spans the sky 1 The walls are damp, the ditches swell, Closed is the pink eyed piropernell; Hark, how the chairs and tables crack, Old Uetty's joints are on the rack; Loud quacks. the ducks, the peacocks cry, The distant hills are looking nitrh. How restless are the snorting swine, The busy flies disturb the kine; Low over the grass the swallow wing.s, Tho cricket too, bow sharp he sings. Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws, Sits wiping o'er her whiskered jaws. Through the clear stream the fishes rise And nimbly catch the incautious flies, The glow worms, numerous and bright, Illumed the dewy dell last night. At dusk the squadlin toad was seen Hopping and crawling o'er the green, The dust in clouds rises in tho roadwa3's, And in rapid eddy plays, The frog has chaDged his yellow vest. And in a russet coat is dressed. Though June, the wind is cold and still, My dog, so altered in his taste, Quits mutton bones, ou grass to feast. And see yon rooks, how odd their flight, They imitate the gliding kite. And seem precipitate to fall, As if they felt the piercing ball.
