'Iiale or not rule, the Federal election bill will become a law." Hoar has said: "The Feder al election law U first in order for next session. It will be considered fairly and disposed of promptly." THE Cleveland Plain Deale says: "We are willing to admit that the McKinley tariff outrage does protect one American indus try. Additions will have to be built to every poor house in the and, and that will keep some peo pie busy, and it may pat up the wages of bricklayers." Mb J. V.

THE Norfolk Virgiman says: The McKinley bill is getting in its work in tbe Northwest. It has caused the Minneapolis Evening Journal to come oat squarely against the Republican party's tariff principles. The Journal has by far the largest circulation of any paper in Minnesotta and has hith erto been a strong Republican organ. The protection for the consumer comes in under the poetical philos ophy of "Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise." The con sumer is not supposed to know that be is paying so much for bis buttons, and he rarely takes the trouble to enquire what is drawing his purse he don't know and don't care, apparently. He goes on pay ing high tariff taxes and voting for the tariff robbers. Norfolk Land mark. A REPRESENTATIVE of the wholesale dry goods trade says: "Next year there will be quite a jump in fancy goods. Matters are pretty well complicated, and im porters do not know where they stand.

A FEW PLAI FACTS. Will our readers heed a few plain facts! Perhaps they wil'. At all events we will present them 1st. The most casual observer mast see that there is a strange indifference to tbe political situa tion in many parts of North Caro lina. The cry ol "wolf!" has been so often raised in the past, that people will not listen to the cries of danger and alarm that are ringing like tire bells throughout the land, nevertheless the danger is real, and if calamity is averted, patriots must come at once to the rescue. Delays are always dangerous; in the present emergency delay is death ! 2d. There is no Democratic candi date for Congress in this district. This is discouraging to the better elements of community, and gives encouragement to the worst ele ment in society. Those who have beeu exciting race animosities re joice that one congressional district in North Carolina is surrendered to the negroes. With no opposition to Cheatham for Congress, and scarcely more than nominal oppo sition to Whito for Solicitor, the negroes are naturally elated and are pressing forward for more con quests. Cbatman is the negro Republican candidate for the Legis lature in CraveD, and unless there is a mighty shaking of the dry bones he will be elected. His op ponent is a good man, an Alliance man and a Democrat. He has not been very active in the canvass because of "imperative home duties." He is not insensible to tho situation and tbe people of Craven should rally to his support, and let the people of tbe State know that they proteBt against any condition of affairs that indicates the surrender of white supremacy in Craven county or in any part of North Carolina. 3d. It is a fact that If the next Legislature of North Carolina is Republican county government and white supremacy will beat an end in Craven and in all the counties of the East. Property will at once -epreciate and civilization be sub- erged by the waves of barbarism. We are apt to shot oar eyes to a painful truth, and hug to our bosoms the delusive phantoms of hope, but the shadow of the approaching evil is huge enough to dispel the delusion and open own eyes to the terrible reality. It is the impera tive duty of every man to exert all his powers to avert the evil, and, by the exercise of patriot courage, change darkness into light. If lethargy prevails ; if men will not register and vote if from supinecess, or any other causes, Republican success is achieved in North Carolina, not only will coun ty govrnment be overthrown, but with that overthrow will come the ousting of all the present magis trates and the substitution of Re publican justices of tbe peace. Look at your present Congressman, your present Solicitor, and the present Republican candidates for the Leg islature in the county of Craven, and doubt if you can what will be the complexion of the future magis trates of this land ! In an editorial on "the Legisla ture" tho News and Observer well says : "Well, how do you like it 1 Is that nothing T Is it nothing that the system which the Democrats have worked so hard and so as siduously to maintain is to be wiped away as the result of Democratic sapineness and lethargy this week T Is it nothing that the whole county government system is to vanish 1 What have our eastern friends to say about that 1 "Are they content to go back to the system which was established by the Canby constitution T If so the way for them to do it, is simply not to vote. It will surely be ac complished. "Then how will the people feel to know that the city governments of Wilmington, Raleigh, New Berne, and all our chief towns have had their charters so amended that there are negro mayors, negro po licemen, negro treasurers and ne gro tax collectors !" If this picture is realized it will not be the fault of the Journal. Day after day and weekjafter week we have sounded the alarm. It is not yet too late. Awake, fellow countrymen, and shake off your lethargy ! Rise in the strength of freemen, or be forever fallen. THE SEW TARIFF. The new tariff has already af fected prices. Tho merchants in oar cities and towns have received circulars from wholesale dealers and manufacturers notifying buyers that prices would be advanced. We cannot give future prices, but from the following statement epi tomized from the speech of Mr. Carlisle it will be seen that they will be greatly increased. The duty on woolen and worsted yarns valued at not over 30 cents per pound is increased from 70 per cent, to more than 130 per cent. On one grade of worsted knit goods for underwear and women's and children's goods valued at less than 30 cents per pound the duty is Increased from 73 percent, to 170 per cent, and on another grade from a little over 76 to 17G per cent. The duty on woolen shawls is increased from 8$ to 99 per cent. Tho duty on one grade of flannels is increased from G7 to 120 per cent., and on blankets valued at more than 30 and not more than 0 cents per pound the duty is increased from G7 to 120 per cent. The duty on ready made clothing, made wholly or in part of wool, increased from oi to 84 per cent. ; on cloaks, dol mans, etc., from GO to 82 per cent. ; on cotton ties from 35 to about 101 per cent., and on tin plates from 31 to over 7G cent. One of the most remarkable! thingB about the new tariff is tbut all clothiDg ready made and articles of wearing apparel having india rubber as a component material shall be hubject to a duty of 50 cents a pound, and iu addition 50 per cent, ad valorem. "I am advised," says Mr. Carlisle, "that one of these garments for men's wear weighs ahout H pounds, and that two pounds of this is rubber and the remainder of the material cotton. Rubber is free and raw cotton Is free, so that the whole duty which is given by this bill is a protective duty for the exclasive benefit of the manufacturer. This article weighing 4 pounds coats abroad $5. The duty therefore will be $ 2.25 specific and 2.50 ad valorem, making a tax of $4.75 upon this necessary article of wearing ap parel the cost of which without the tax is only $5. There is no justifi cation whatever for the excessive rate of duty in view of tbe fact that tho manufacturer gets all his material free except the buttons and the thread, if any thread is used." This is but a sample of a tariff that increases impost duties from 45 to GO per cent., that Is, the average impost duty is GO per cent. They tell us that the new law takes the tariff out of politics; that the tariff question is settled. But the tariff question cannot be taken out of politics by such measures as the new law. Charles Sumner once declared that nothing is settled till it was settled right. Tbe people cannot and will not accept the present law as a solution of the tariff question. Equal rights and privileges is the corner stone of American liberty, and nothing can be accepted as settled that does not recognize this fundamental prin ciple m all its fullness and po tency. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." It may be years before this burden is removed, bat ia the fullness of time it will be as tbe early dew and morning cloud that passeth away. What are the peo ple to do until the coming of po litical redemption T Suffer and be strong! Grow in moral and in tellectual power as well as in ma terial development, and the future will come as a bride adorned for her husband. If the people of North Carolina are true to them selves, they will prosper despite the tariff. "Tbe olive and the vine will flourish, and prosperity reign through all our borders." High protective taxation in creases the profits of capital by giving it a market monopoly, but it is all done at the expense of the people. For the high prices they pay they receive no equivalent return in any form or shape. It is all out with them and all Into the pocket of capital. In not one solitary item does the real industry receive the smallest benefit. Work men do not get it, yet the people pay it all the same. Milwaukee Journal. "A DISTINGUISHED BcientUt quotes statistics to show that the suicide mania is more prevalent in October than in any other month of the year. It does not seem easy to account for this. The delightful weather that we generally have in October should make life worth living, even to the most discon tented." HlIIAJf SACRIFICE. A Victim to Negro Rallglom FasalleUm In South Carolina, Columbia, S. C, Oct 17. Primus Jones, colored, was killed Sunday morning at Sumter, S. C. A protracted meeting was being held by negroes, at Beulah church, and the greatest excitement pre vailed. It was at first reported that Primus had been offered as s icrifice to the Holy Ghost, because of his incredulity. Deputy coroner S. A. Norris held an inquest at the church. The testimony showed that in a perfect frenzy of fanaticism, Jones was killed by Rev. A. H. Durant, the negro pastor, and one Richard Campbell, a prominent member of the church because the decease had expressed doubts abouts the supernatural power of Durant to kill and restoro to life, and that was a test case; but the experiment failed. A large number of Durant, 8 congregation believed that he posseseed supernatural power un til his failure in this case. The finding was that Jones was killed and murdered by Richard Camp bell and A. H. Durant. The jury was composed ot intelligent color ed men, and the coroner compli mented them on their verdict. The prisoners are in jail. Miss Davis' Engagement. Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 18. Mr. Alfred Wilkinson, of this city, who was to have married Miss Winnie Davis, says in a card issued last night, that the reasons for break ing off the engagement were mat- tora purely personal. He adds; "It is ridiculous to suppose that political or fanatical reasons should have anything to do with it. Im putation of any mercenary motive to her is false. Furthermore, Miss Davis has known for a year or more that I was poor. The burn ing of our house though a serious loss, has nothing todo with her, deci sion, for she had decided to termin ate our engagement before that happened. When a lady decides the gentleman has nothing to do but 6ubmit." HIS KOVAL, NIBS The Count of Paris Delighted with Ilia Southen Trip. New York, Oot. 17. The Comte de Paris and suite arrived this morning from Philadelphia and are at the Windsor Hotel. The party expresed themselves highly delighted with their trip to ;the southern oattle-flelds, and the Come was enthusiastic over the receptions tendered him by nis old comrades in every city that he visited. The party will remain in New York about tan days and leave for Europe via Liverpool. Pithy Extraeis From Vance's Speech at Baleigh. The tariff legislation has not only been for classes bnt shamefully sec tional. We raise now by Federal taxation about $450,000,000 revenue per annum. -How is that spent T For disabled and dependent pen sions we spend 1118,000,000 every year. Out of every 8100 of that 99 goes North. Two hundred millions of dollars la spent for river and harbor appro priations, ana iiU,ooo,ooo goes .North. For public buildings $50,000 is given to the South, tor a million spent in the North. Where in North Carolina we get L?l in protection, Massachusetts gets $100. The total amount of duty col lected on foreign goods is $218, 000,000 a year. For every dollar's worth of goods we import we buy of home manufacturers fo. worth, at the lowest calculation ; some say we buy $15 worth. By reason of the tax, the home manufacturer is enabled to put op the price of his domestic goods. We pay 59 cents tax on foreign goods and about 45 ceuts tax on home made goods. It does not go into the treasury but into the left hand pocket of the protected manufacturer. This is a wrong and the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Topeka vs. Loan Association has decided that "whenever the govern ment lays one hand on the property of the citizen and transfers it to another, it is robbery under the form of law." The average tax on woolen goods was 68 per cent. This means that when you buy one dollar's worth of goods you pay 68 cents tax and 32 cents for goods. The Republi cans reduce the tariff on spices, etc. where the revenue all goes to the government and increases it when the manufacturers get it. And all this is done, say these fellows, to protect us from the pauper labor of Earope. And yet one half of the factories in the North are "operated by men who cannot ask for a piece of bread in the English language. Thirty-five per cent, has been the tax on cotton ties heretofore. The McKinley bill doubled it and made it 70 per cent. There is not a pound of ties made in America, and they doubled the duty out of pure cussedness. Tinware not a pound made in the United States, and the tax was carried up from 35 per cent, to 107 per cent. The Senator paid his respects in vigorous terms to the conduct of Speaker Reed, and dwelt at length on the force bill. He declared that it was the last test of manhood, and if the people submit to it, "may the Lord have mercy on your souls." There is not a stump tail yaller dog in Wake county for whom I have not more respect than the North Carolina fellow who favors the force bill. He believed that we would have the next House and President, and then if we get the Senate, if the Democrats do not repeal all the laws that oppress US, I WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO V07E the Democratic ticket AGAIN. THE UEAND OLD PARTY LING. CRUJIB- Another Republican Disgusted With the Actions of .His Party. Editor Jouenax : Please give me space in your valuable columns to render my complaints. Iam a taxpayer of Craven county, and feel as though I am imposed upon. I am a poor, hard-working man and have done all iu my power to edu cate my children and to make ad vancement in that direction. 1 have been a supporter of the Re publican party for many years, but for tbe benefit of myself and family the time has come for me to make a change when" such bad mistakes are made in their nominations. I am deceived in every one who can support such a man as Dick Williams. How can the Republi can party put out such a man for Sheriff and pledge themselves to support him. when he doesn't pay his taxes nor one cent to help keep up public schools? He has thus robbed my children and your chil dren oi a portion of their education and bestowed upon his own. He says that Wm. B. Lane, our present Sheriff, is not fit for the office, because -he will not make him (Williams) pay his own tax. This I look upon aa disloyalty, and injustice to myself, I cannot vote for such a man, and I beseech my friends throughout tbe county to make a self case of this and not a party matter. I appeal to my colored friends oi Craven to uphold no man who re fuses to pay his taxes to the sup port of public schools. Look on the tax list for yourself and you wil find that Mr. Williams has not paid. Can we then vote for him for the high and responsible office of Sheriff, whose duty it is to col lect taxes fairly and impartially, when he fails to pay his own. Let us re-elect Wm. B. Lane, man who not only collects the taxes of other people, but pays his own also. Show your manhood and let the world see that you are for principle and not for party. Chas. Sutton. Vanceboro, N. C. A Scalding Ilmbtnd Cured. A woman, whom her hnsband used frequently to scold, went to a cunnins man to inquire how she might cure him oi his barbarity The saeacious soothsayer heard her complaint; and, after pronounc ing some hard words, and using various gesticulatons while he filled a phial with colored liquid, desired her, whenever her husband was in passion, to take a mouthtul of the liquor and keep in her month for fiive minutes. The woman, auite overioved at so simple at remedy, stictly followed the counsel which was given her, and by her silence escaped the usual annoy ance. The contents of the bottle being at last expended she return ed to the cunning man and anxious ly begged to have another possess ed of the same virtue. "Daughter." said the man, "there was uothign in the bottle but brown sugar and water. When yonr husband is in a passion, hold your tongue, and, my life on it. he will not scold you in the future." Important Cabinet Meeting. Washington, D. C, Oct. 17. An important session of tho Cab inet was held today from noon till 2 p.m. It is understood that Cen tral American affairs were discuss ed at considerable length, the whole matter of Gen.

San Fbancisco, Oct. 17. The ships R. R. Thomas, Capt- Coulson from New York and Alexander McCullom, Capt O'Brien, from Baltimore, which arrived here yesterday had scurvy on board. On the Thomas there were four cases, snd on the McCullom seven cases. On the McCullom the men were in a horrible condition, their bodies being covered with running sores and their gnms plack and swollen. The sailors say that dar ing the voyage of 154 days, they had not tasted vegetables of any sort, and the meat given them was putrid. Two of the men, James Masure and Thomas Hayes, as a result of the disease, had be come blind. During the voyage of the Thomas the second mate, Kooper, was lost overboard. The oases will be re ported to U. S. authorities by the quarintine officers. REV. DR. CARTBR ACQUITTED. ll' Holitoa Conference Dltmln Charges Against the Rev. Editor. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 17. A special from Chattanooga, Tenn., says: The case of Rev. Dr. Carter, of this city' editor of tho Methodist Advocate, who has been on trial for the past two days by the Hols ton Conference, at Greenville, terminated yesterday in a verdict of acquittal by a vote of 12 to 2. Dr. Carter had been charged by his Presiding Elder with immoral conduct. It is said by a prominent member of the Northern Methodist church, whose ministers were investigating, that ithis verdict will not settle the affair, bat that the case will be taken into the circuit court, as three preachers are involved. Died f Hydrophobia. Atlanta, Ga.., Oct. 17. Private Frank O.Neill, U. S. A., stationed at Fort McPhersor, died from hydrophobia yesterday. He was bitten by a dog some time ago and lately began to show signs of madness. He frothed at the mouth and developed wonderful strength. He persistently refused to drink, but it required seven men to hold him down Wednesday. In this position, an opiate was injected into bis arm and he was quieted. In this condition he died. Canada Hay alse Her Tariff. Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 17. Accord ing to Government officials, intelli gence from the various Provinces indicates that there is a strong feeling among business men in the country in favor of adopting a higher tariff in order to exclude American products, both raw and manufactured. The Dominion last year imported beans, grain, flour and other food from tbe United States at a cost of more than $11,000,000. Struck a Fifteen Million Dollar Vein. Tklitjbidb, Col., Oot. 17 The great Sheridan Tunnel struck a vein yesterday and developed a large body of ore ol very high grade. The tnnnel was begun in November, 1877: it is 3.500 feet long, and cost $300,000. Manager Waters says that, calculating on a basis of what tbe mine has done in the past,this strike puts $15,000,000 in sight. The ere struck by the tnnnel carries brittle silrer and oopper, and runs nigh in gold. A Policeman Saves Six Children. Jersey City, Oct. 20. This morning, in this city, a two story framed residence oa the suburbs canght fire on tha lower floor, and six children were alone in an npper room. Before they could gain the stairway the flames had enveloped the house, and tbe six helpless children stood at a window scream ing for help. A policeman stepped np as close as the flames wonld permit, and one by one tbe chil dren jumped from the high window into his arms. Not one of them was hurt. Senator Vance in a recent speech say that tbe Republican party was mean. It admitted two territories, Idaho and Wyoming to statehood and they are both not as big as one of your congressional districts, in Wyoming the Mormans are Demo crats and every one of them are disfranchised by its constitution; in Idaho the Mormans are Repub lican and its constitution permits man with his forty wives to vote. "This is the reason why I voted to put brimstone on the free list'7 ex claimed the Senator. Onslow County Items. Our farmers have the finest cot ton crops they have had in several years. Bev. I. N. Henderson filled the pnlpit in Swansboro last Sunday to an appreciative audience. F. D. Eaonce, Jfisq., is a very smart and intelligent man, but on the wrong track. Oilman will beat him over 800 in the district. Koonce and Oilman met at Marine's last week, and, it is said, after Oilman and Spicer got through with him, the poor little fellow jumped in a big hole and pulled the hole in after him. The candidates spoke in Swans boro last Monday. Three inde pendents were there. Since then two oi tbe have backed ont of the race and we were glad of it : the otehr might as well back ont, we think. "Rev. A. T. Howell preached to a large congregation at tsnon (jnnrcn, after which Hon. T. E.

May their lives be long and happy. We never know the true value of friends while they live, we are too sensible of their faults: when we have lost them we only see their virtues.

This is a life of pleasure ami pain : Of joy intermingled with sorrow; We taste of its sweets but to loose tlu-m again In regrets' we incline to borrow ; As if there was not pain enough tliat is real Of which each must share his full inoas Uro; Ne'er thiniing to turn its daik mges down And draw ou its fountaiu of pleasure The heart that Is heavily ladened, may Find a healing balm for its sorrow. By a draft on this fountain of pleasure today And leaving its cares for tbe morrow; Let U3 live for the joys that life imparts: Making lighter the burdens of others; As from this fount we replenish our hearts To cheer our less fortunate brothers. This life has enough of joy and of pain To make or to mar our pleasure ; Then let us cull the chaff from the grain As each in his turn fills his measure; Let happiness reign supreme in the heart, And with brotherly love let us share it With those oppressed by m'sfortuncs smart And have not the bravery to bear it. e may draw ou lifes fountain of pleas ure at will. Ne'er heeding its cares or its bothers; We may honor each draft befoio it falls due By rendering happiness to others; Then let "This is the day to laugh and to sing" Be the motto in each of our homes ; Tutting off each day the soirows they bring For the morrow, which never comes. GOD CNLY KNOWS. Whither are going with hurrying foot Forms thac arc passing tonight on the street ? Faces all sunny, and faces all sad, Hearts that are weary, and hearts that are glad. Eyes Chat are heavy with sorrow and strife, Eyes that are gleaming with beauty and life; Pictures of pleasure and crosses of care, Going, all going, God only knows where I Hands that have earnestly striven for nave earnestly bread. Hands that instead; Hearts that are soiled with dishonor, aro tunod to a purpose sub- lime. Hearts all discordant, crime. Souls tnat are pure and j.m-led with and whito as the snow, Souls that aro black as the midnizht of woe; Gay in their gladness, or drunk in des pair. Going, all going, od only knows where '. Some to the feast where the richest red wine And the rarest of jewels will sparkle and snine. Some in their hunger will wander, and some Will sleep, nor awaken when mornimr shall come. The robed and the ragged, the foe and the friend, All of them hurrying on to the end; Nearing tho grave with a curso or a prayer, Going, all going, God only knows where! Chicago .hveuing rost. How to Keep Sweet Potatoes. Dig after the first signs of frost are on the vines. Don't bo in a hurry about it. Take plenty of time rather than worry over gett ing them in the same day, let them stay in the patch all night, in small piles, putting vines over them to keep frost or heavy dew off. Put one or two months' supply in the cellar, the others to keep should be put as follows: Take time and do not bein ahurry. Throw np a foundation of dirt at least eighteen inches, large enough to hold twent five bushels or less, never more, in one hill. On this toundation should be spread dry pine straw at least six inches deep. Alter tbe potatoes have been care fully piled on, coat with four or five inches of dry pine straw, on this place corn stalks vertically, making each stalk fit snug and close to its neighbor one round of stalks being sufficient, Let stalks lap over apex of bill. Then care fully cover with dirt about three inches thick until the weather gets colder, when an additional coating of dirt will be necessary. Always leave top of tbe hill free from dirt. The straw and lapping stalk ende are sufficient protection. An old window shutter, door or eighteen-inch board placed sloping ly, with slope to the north, ia all the shelter needed. The colder tbe winter, the more dirt is necessary on the hills, too much dirt will cause rot in mild weather. Po tatoes are more often damaged by heat than by cold. Take down a whole hill, as necessity requires, for table or market, and go potato less for several days rather than broach your hill in damp, foggy or rainy weather. Yorkville En quirer.

Brinson Campen and Miss Viola Dees, of Orantsboro, were married on last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, in the church at that place, Bev. Thos. Maning officiating. I am truly thankful to state that in my items of last week reporting the death of little James Baxter, the little boy of Andrew Armstrong, was an error. I am happy to state he is "O K." My information was incorrect. The teachers, Prof. F. L. Merritt and Miss Jennie O. Grady, of Pam lico High School, are giving uni versal satisfaction to their patrons. All whom I have heard speak of them do so in the highest mead of commendation. Still we have some few who have sent their children off to other schools that have no comparison to this one. Anything instead oi nome patronage, is some folks' idea. The Visiting Iren Mn Like Dixie. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 17. The foreign iron steel men spent today visiting the furnaces and mines, and leave at an early hour to morrow for Anniston and Shelly. They seem well pleased with their visit South. A little boy saw his grandfather threshing oats with a flail. It was acurions sight to him. He went into the house.

SOMETIMES. Sometimes I think you will be glad to know That I have kept joii ever in my heart, And that my lovo has only deeper grown In all that time that we have lived apart. Some day when you have slipped away from care, And idly fall to dreaming of the past And jdly think of all your life has missed, ou will remember my ti ue lovo at last. O it may c to puss some dreary night. After a day that has been hard to bear, When you arc weary, heartsick and for loi u, And thcie is none t comfort or to care, Tnat you will close your tired eyes to dream Of tender kisses Or restful touches hair, falling soft and light, smoothing back your And sweet words spoken for your heart's delight. Oh ! then you will remember and be glad, That I have kept you in my heart. And that your heart's true home will . stdl 1)0 there, Although we wander silent and apart. Vanceboro Items.

Your correspondent accompanied the baseball "boys" Saturday, and such crops as we saw were enough to make us offer a song of rejoicing and a prayer of thanks to our mighty and all-wie Creator. Good crops is the joyful cry we hear on every side, and it appears that Eastern North Carolina is especially blessed. A young man was calling on a congressman's daughter the other evening, when the father appeared at the parlor door. "May I come in?" he asked hesitatingly. "Oh, yes." she answered, "you may, but we have a quorum without you." Then he didn't. "Say, mamma, how much am I worth ?" "You are worth a million to me, my son." Say, mamma couldn't you advance twenty-five cents T Money and time are the heaviest hardens of life, and the happiest of all mortals who have no more of either than they know how to use.

We learn that Mr. Jeasey Broad way has his sorghum mill in full blast and is turning sorghum into 'lasses. Boys let's have a candy pulling. There was a Democratic speak ing here on the 18th lost, according to appointment. The speaker were Messrs. W. B. Lane, J. W. Biddle, and W. M. Watson. The speeches delivered were excellent, and, like the men who delivered them, just suited the people. The speakers were introduced by J. W. Biddle. There was a large crowd, but not as many as we expeeted. The people seem to feel good over the coming election. Brother Bob Hancock of yoar city is with us again looking after, Uncle Sam's interest iu the poet office and his political fences, rais ing the low corners, stopping tbe cracks, more particularly stiffening the week knees of the stakes and riders. He is trying to enthuse the man and brother, but whether he brought the enthusiasm in a bottle or jug, as it was two weeks ago, I can't say, but there is no outward show of tbe effects, it may neanseate. But hurried on to Dover to hold a night meeting. Result a row and a nigger cnt. I understand that Sunday was de voted to publishing his Monday night meeting, it is a mooted question with us np hear, does the supervision of the country post offices pertain to tbe duties of collector of customs. If so the former collector sadily neglected his duty as to this office, bnt there is no neglect to complain of now. I saw a fox hnnt last week. It was one of the grandest affairs a person could possible bars wit nessed. We had not gone very far before, close to a distant woods, one of our party discovered that one ofthe dogs, Boss, belonging to Mr. John Biddle, had struck trail, and it was not long befors sll of the dogs had joined old Boss in the chase. Over bills, through swamps and meadows the never tiring fox led the trusty dogs, through Taylors'a field could be heard ow u-n ow n as they gained in chase. Men and boys on foot and horse back, running hither and tither through woods snd brush, eager to hear tbe ehsse. Men stumbling in ditches every thing, bnt bound to bear as much of tbe hunt as they could, every dog did his .share of barking, and by this time all of the dogs had joined the race and of all the pretty music a person could hear, it was there and then. The deop-mouthed blood houud'a boary bay. Resounded the plney woods way And faint, from farther distance born. W ere heard the clanging hoof and bora. Bnt the party returned boms much greaved over the lost ot the fox. A. J. n. Institute. FEMALE. September 8th, 1890. EFFICIENT TEACHERS.
