In the aaajority of eases this percentage does aot exceed 15 per cent. The result of this system may be seen la part by the following significant fnres. The cost of transporting freight ia Great Britain is 2'S cents per ton per mile; : In France 2 la Genaaay I'd!, and the United CUtes l'eent.

It is reported that the waters at Washington are troubled and that the next person to step ia and be healed will be Walter R. Henry. The Washington Correspondent of the Baleigh News and Observer, in his letter of Dec. 14, says : UA Oommittee of prominent Democrats will be here Tuesday to urge Walter Henry's appointment to Nagasami or Genoa. The com mittee will be composed ot the North Carolina Senatorial delega tion and of Messrs. G. B. Avcocfe, B. B. Glenn. W. W. Fuller, J. S. Oarr, F. J. Oaborne, Gen. Cox, J. S". Cooper, J. B. Young aud others." We trust that Mr. Henry will get through with drums beating and banner flying, for he richly de seves recognition, but is the state ment about "a committee" correct f Who do they represent and by whom, were they appointed T Mr. Henry is eminently worthy, and we prefer to believe that the dis tinguished gentlemen mentioned are ia Washington to advance the interests of an honorable citizen of North Carolina, not by virture of credentials famished by some se cret convocation, but acting oi their owa accord under the influence of noble impulses and generous sen timents. It is matter of snprise and regret that Mr. Henry has not long since received proper recognition at the hands of the Cleveland administra tion. We believe that he was at one time appointed a coasnl, but it was said that if he accepted the place, and that big coat of his got wet, there would not be room on the island to spread it out and dry it. Genoa would afford abundant room and give the best quality of sunshine. It is the highest kind ot compli ment to Mr. Henry that such gentlemen are at Washington to urge his claims, bat they should be mindful of the responsibilities they assume. Earthquakes are not un Bsaal in that part of tbe world, and if there is any man it hose firm step woulu shake the lobe, that man is Walter B. Henry. The words "the horse that pulls (he plow should eat. the odder" ought to be written . in 'letters of gold and hung up in the White House. IS CKIXE OS THE IJTTBEASE t There are many who hold tbe opinion that crime is oa the in crease, and there are not a few who descant upon the degeneracy of the age. We are ot those who believe that the world is getting .better; that civilization is advancing, and that the kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdoms of our Lord. Those who think that the times are out of joint, and that all things have a downward tendency point to the prosecutions now being con ducted in Sew York, in which city officials are the defendants, and also to conditions in the Indian Territory. This last is based upon naratjves of ex-Senator Dawes be fore the House committee on In dian Affairs. "Mr. Dawes told a story of a lawyer, who had a case in one of the Indian courts, who re ceived a note from tbe Judge offering to decide the case in his favor for $400; also, a note from the foreman of the jury who offered to give bim a verdict for $40. He had such a good ease that he paid no attention to either note. The Other man won the case." U?od this recital Christian men said, "No use fooling with the Indian.'' Instead of these things being taken as evidences of increasing crime, they should be accepted as proof of awakened activity on the part of our municipal governments, and of the march of civilization through the territory of the red man. The people of New York have been aroused, and municipal reform is the order ot the day. There is a fixed determination to ascertain the extent of police complicity in crime, and how far robbery anJ wrong have had the sanction of city officials. Offenses that have here tofore been winked at are now nnder the whip oi Justice; the mask is being torn away, and offenders appear before the public in all their horrid deformity, jt is Law asserting its authority : Grime dragged from its lurking place to receive its condemnation in the assize of the people. "Bat, the courts ia the Indian Territory present a travesty on Justice." Please remember that it baa been only a little while in which it has been possible to have courts in the Indian Territory. Not long sgo was the region of savagry unrelieved by a single ray of civilization. The tomahawk and the scalping-knife were the minis ters of justice between man and man. Look where you may, and there is light in the darknesi. The wheels of civilization are not turn ing back on their axles. The car of Christianity has not halted in tbe wilderness of sin. Onward is the watchword and reply in the city and npon the plains. Bight onward to higher attainments and nobier conquests- V Jl si HKlil'K! A lMsemliube Spin i w u tfiut the So ,th iu .Sum .

K Brooks, For merly of New Bernp. Mrs. J. li. Brooks has desingul a most entertaining and instruc tive device (or missionary enter tainments. It is a church con structed of boards and timbers so that it. can be taken down and built at will with its corner stone right and leic door-post, weather boarding, roof, windows, steps, door, tower ud spire. A beautiful programme accompanies, in tbe form ot questions and answers containing imoortant names, dates, doctrines aud incidents of Metho dism, which tbe children are ex pected to learn and repeat as they boild, thus forming a very inter, esting evening programme. We have seen nowhere so much of Methodist face and history con tained in bo small a compass. It is the purpose of Mrs. Brooks to rent this ar a small earn to those who may wish to use it with Bright Jewels, Light Bearers or Home Builders. W heartily com mend it to those who may wish something in that line Who are Americans? Every once in a while we hear the boast, particularly among poli ticians and in newspapers addicted to what is called Americanism, that Philadelphia is the most American of all American cities. The census shows that 56.58 per cent, ot the population ot Philadel phia is of foieign parentage. The city may be very much disposed to "iativism" as a sentiment, but it is in no condition to show its hand when the natives whose parents were natives before them are sep arated from the persons of foreign parentage. Iu order to rind communities th:t are really of native Ptock one must go South. In the city of Rich mond, Va., o' ly 11.47 per cent, ot tbe population are ot foreign paren tage; in Atlanta, only 7 25 per cent,; in Xorth Caroliua but oeven tenths of 1 per cent, are of foreign parentage; in South Carolina, 1.53 per cent.; in Georgia, 1 7S per cent.; in Virginia, Mississippi and Ala bama, less than 3 per cent. Ttese are the cities and States that are entitled to whatever credit may attach to the fact that tneir people happened to bn born on the same continent with then esteemed pro genitors. Phil. Record.

Colonel D. S Alexander, District Attorney for Northern, and at onetime Gen eral Harrison's private secretary, returned yesterday from Indiana polis, where he spent two days with the ex-President.

All exhibi tions .vbere fists are brought in contact with face and body, even amateur boxing bouts at the swell club house oi the Chicago Associa tion, have been strictly prohibited by special order of the Police Superintendent, who is backed by Mayor Hopkins.

In response to Count Von Kaniiz's inquiry in the Reichstag tod., Frffn-rr V. n Marechai, Secretary ot the Foreign Office, said that the American sugar ta.iff was of great importance as it infringed npon "the most favored nation" clause.

Having cai i :. d I . i v as far as tbe suburbs of Washing ton, the speaker summed up as lollowr : WHAT EARLY DID. "I cjunt i tie thirry il.iy.V cam paign as one of the m:st. onliiatit of cur own or any other war. Within that brit-l tune ien. Ivirly, with leK than 14- t it ' men, ail told, had ilriveu our ot the held the army ot Uouter, IS oil ) strong: bottled up iSigel at Harper's Feny, with a force ot (i.dOU, defeated Wallace at, the sent him whirling with an ni iiy ot stione: diverted M Hioeaev, and into Baltimore, i'i.OIMi to 7,000 Iron: (irant'.s arm i he Sixth Core, at, this nme, haop'.'.v which just foi (Irant, was arriving a L'nt .Mo mv Irom New Orleans, andlastH. transfer red the seat of war Irmn Central and Piedmont, Virginia, where it menaced ; lie rear ot L ', '( 'tie ' border line of Northern Virginia, on i tbe Potomac. C-uintiug itie nun in the defenses of Washington, ! Early had occupied fully i(,0u( j men to oppose him. All (lie ob jjects of the campaign were, up to j this time, roundly accomplished. No doubt there was hope that Washington might possibly be cap jtoredand that Grant, like lie- Olellau, might he torced t aoau don operations on the J ;uiei, aud both his -nd Lji-rs crimes trans ferred to the northern border, but this hope was never either ;. design or expectation.'' Tbe speaker de-cribed minutely the battles of Winchester and Cedar Creek, met criticisms f Farly'd tactics and after showing mat the Campaigu disconcerted Grant's plans, and the Lee's fai'b in Early was unshaken, said: "By whatever test you try him, Lee and Jackson stand alone be fore him among Confederate army commanders. If marching he the test, no one in a given time march ed so much, so far, so last. If righting be the test, no one fought so steadfas: l.v , so continuously, so frequently, so daringly, eo stonily. If difficulties aud odds encountered be the test, do soldi r of the war occupied so many to oppose him, or met uch grea!; odds man to man in open field fight. If damage done an enemy be the, te-t. none other bun Lee killed, wounded, and captured so many men as he had done. If cucc.-'is be the lesr, no one can count the names of more victoiies; or of vic ories that had more tlTocc. It result be the test, let this be said, that his desperate campaign of 18H4 prolouged the lifeofthe Conlederac.y a year, the very day he left the field, Grant marched to victory, and svhen he fell at last, the general clash came down npon us all. On these deeds done, and wdi done, I rest bis fame. HE DID I'fOT FAIL. "Will you tell me that E trly failed, and does this bar tbe door to fame? Hannibal failed. Napo leon failed. Lee failed. If there be a Cedar Creek there are also a a Pontine Marsh, a Waterloo, and an Appomattox. A great oung nation was extinguished like a dying star. A whole people, genius, valor, patriotism, aud re nown, wen' down in calamity and ruin. Do?s l'.ot providence cast down the gr.jat and the giited, and the good to demonstrate virtue and to instrncr us to be careless ot fortune? A -oi iier must take his fate, wnether ;t comes with death, as it did t i Chrti les XII. to Waller stein, to Gustavns Adolphus, to Hampden and S.dcey, to Jackson and Stuart, to Polk, to Cleburne, to Pegram and P-lham, to Wolfe, to Warren, and Sidney Johnson; whether it comes by wonnds as to Joe Johnson aud Ewell; whether in gloom and disaster, as to Hanni bal to Napoleon, to Lee. and Early. But tho deed lives. What did he dare! What did he do? 'Ad parebat quo nihil iniquiusest ex eventna lamani habiturum,' said Livy, of old, ot one who got fame not from his owu deed, buc from happy deli veraune, and fho in the chance of medley and motley wear of this tumultous sphere has not learned that tbe tricks of the fickle goddess which cast down are ever condoned and repaired by the slow and even hand of justice. Her harsh decrees in one age are revised by the equity of the next age; and al! history teils me with its splendid tale of tragic grandeur and pathetic fate tba immortally cherishes for its nurslings the wrecks and oastawa. s of fortune.

We need much more of the faith and childlike confidence manifested by children: they look for some, thing good and get it. Older peo ple often fail to get good, becaut-e they do not look for it. Because money is scarce is no reason why we should not enjoy Christmas. It takes no costly gifts or fine array, to bring rejoicing to the heart on Christmas day. Christ the Saviour came in th; simplest, mcst humble way possible, he brought none of the grandeur or outer show, and why should we, his followers attempt to celebrate bis birthday with showy demonstra tions trying to take the place of Peace and Love. These are what Christ brought and these cannot be purchased on the markets of the world, they are above money and more precious than rubies. We can have as much, yes more, Peaoe and Love in our hearts this Christmas than ever before, tie cause we have another year ol ex peiience, and this renews hope. Some of us arj a years journey nearer Home than at last Christ mas and this tbonght will always make the heart cheerful, even amid tbe sorest disappointments of life. Let us hold on to a real childlike taith, and expect good, and good will come. The business of the world is to make the children hap py withont leading them into evil, temptation and sin. WASHINGTON CORRESPOXDEXCE. A Variety of News Items from the Town and Vicinity. Last week was, in our town, a chapter of incidents and accidents.

COVE CORREsPOXDEXCE. Christmas Money Hog Killing: -Mar- riages, Etc. Crops are all gathered, and the farmers are turuiog their attention to something lor their Christmas money. Several oar loads of wood have been shipped from here, and there are over a hundred cords on the road now, all put there by farmers. The iuduBtroius farmers always find something to do to bring in some money in a bard time. Hogs are dying very rapidly now ! Mr. F. VV. White our very clever section boes on the Railroad had seventeen to die Tuesday morning. They would weigh about 25.00 lbs. If all the farmer would but put up their supplies thus at home they would not feel tbe hard times so much. The White Bros, who are run ning a geueral repair shop, are budding a nice cottage residence joining the lot tbeir shop is one. Cards are out for the marriage of John Ward and Miss Bettie McCoy, Wednesday Dight. And it will not be long befjre we can announce other marriages. IX MEM OKI AM.. It was a sad hour in the borne of Mr. aud Mrs. D. B. Hooker at 1 o'clock in the afternoon ol Dec. 7, when death quietly took their lov ing daughter, Pbocbe, aged 14 years 11 months and 7 dajs. But three days she lingered witb hemorrhagic fever when the Lord saw thst it was well to call her spirit home. Always faithful, always true, and when the last hour came she pi tiently bore it through. Few have led a more exemplary life than she, who from infancy was a pleas ure and a delight to her home. She joined the M. E. Churrh while quite young, but always remained in the fear and favor of the Lord. Her life was encircled with the beautiful rainbow of religion by obeying the sweet command : "Ke member thy Creator in the days of thy Youth."' Her heart was full of love and no one ever knew her to shrink from duty or speak harshly to father, mother, sisters or brother. She was the pride of her mot Iter's heart, the hope of her moihri'n deel ning years, the com- jfoit oi her father's life, tbe joy of oro'h'-r and sisters, and a pleasnre and a delight to all who knew ber. Sure w and saduesB has come !.. ttir hon e, because our Phoebe is not there, because ber cheerful voice and elastic footsteps f'n never be heard there again. But why should we be saddened, be cause God bas takeu her in her purity 1 He has plucked the rose bud for his gloy ; and while we feel so keenly the loss of one so dear she has gained an eternal home with the redeemed of Heaven and there she is waiting and watching at the hemtifnl gate for tnot-e he loved eo well. I'riirht be the peace of thy soul ! j No lovelier spir t than thine E'er lied from its mortal control. In the orbs of the blessed to shine. On earth then wert all but divine. As thy soul shall immortally be; And our sorrow may cease to repine hen we know that thy God is with thee.' G. T.
