On 'Thdrsday morning between

B. Barrington, aged abont forty-two
years. Mr. Barrington died from
f erer and learee a wife and three

Harris, a man with only one arm
helping to manage a schooner yes
.terday. Upon asking about the
man, it was learned that he waa
about forty-one yean old and had
lost his right arm by accident while
bunting seTeral years ago. With
his left arm he is able to do as much
if not more than any ordinary man
with two, . " hands. Among other
things he can cook, cut wood, plough,
scull a boat, sail a boat, hunt and o
on. He liTes at Swan Qaarter and
is one of the best shots in that neigh
borhood, he has often killed two
ducks at a shot and has the reputa
tion of being able to catch more
fish with a hook and line than anj
man in Hyde county. lie is per
fectly independent "and puts to
shame a great many who remain
idle for less cause than the loss of
an arm.

; iio barn to iLo pcc'tiuucc, j'.le it to
one side on the sticks until you refill
jour'bnrn. . Then you can put boiiic
hinds to liiilki'iK it 'lown. I.'t two
hands pick it np, one stick at the
time and jtrk the string off each end
of stick and let atick drop down.
Now fold or double jour string of
tobacco and commence laying it
down in piles. Yon can lay it in
round or lonp piles to suit yourself
but always lay the bnts of stems
out and the leuf in to protect it from
the air.
If you mnko loDg pilea, make them
round at the ends so vou can turn
all the leaf in.
It is beet to bulk one barn in each
nile. If vou bulk two barns in one
a -
pile put some straws or paper be
tween the two barns as you can
hardly ever grade two barns alike
You commence your pile like yon
wish; then keep laying it on all
around, breaking the joints in every
other course and run it up straight
Keep the middle of the pile filled
up but put on the outside course
first then tho middle. Continue
until yon get the pile as high as' you
want it bnt never press it down hard
enough to break or bruise the to
bacco. Always keep your tobacco
in a good tight and dark house and
coyer it ud well. I coyer some of
a
mice with ounce duckioe, but
usually cover with anything obtain
able. Keep the damp air from it as
this will cause it to run red And if
yoa have any windows or light holes,
pot covers over them to make the
room as dark as possible. If your
tobacco gets too high in order you
will loose yowr colors for it will be
sure to run red.
If it is dry weather or very dry
inside of barn when you start the
fire uner your tobacco, it is best to
wet the dirt inside of barn. This
will help to start the tobacco to
yellowing. Never use any water in
aide of barn after your tobacco is
yellow.
Yoa will have to have two sets of
sticks to each barn, one for one
week and the other set for the next
week. It will take about 800 sticks
ia each sot for a sixteen foot barn

a letter received here, by a
prominent citizen of New Berne,
Capt. K. M. Pace, the "tobacco ex
pert haa this to say of tho land of
Craven county, in regard to tobacco
culture.
The finest tobacco lands in the
State, (North Carolina) are in
Craven county, and I am very fav
orably impressed with your county
as a tobacco raising county, and
think New Berne could be made a
number one market.
riat rrn frf."
A gentleman who has recently
returned from Wilson, yesterday
said: "One of the largest tobacco
warehouse owners in Wilson told me
the other day that the finest tobacoo
sold on the floor of his warehouse
during the Iat season, came from
Craven county." Think of that !
Wilson is one of the largest tobacco
markets in the State. Last year
over eight million pounds of tobacco
were sold there. This year it is
estimated that there will be ten
million pounds sold.

Earth's Giant Valley.
The greatest valley in the world
according to Dr. J. W. Gregory, an
English explorer; is the Great Rift
valley, which h an immense depres
sion or trough which runs through
Eastern Africa 4000 miles "from
the Lebanons almost to the cape.''
"The Great Rift Valley" is the title
of Dr. Gregory's book, which has
just appeared in London, which is the
newest, most comprehensive and" im
portant of the works that have ap
peared on this region, according to
the New York Journal.
One of the most fascinating por
tions of this record of travel is that
relating to the Masai, the most fero
cious of the African races. You
never can be sure of your Masai, even
when you have spat upon him and
he npon you. That is how they
swear eternal friendship, Dr. Greg
ory says tho harder one spits the
more the other feelB flattered. How
it is done and what the Masai equiv
alent for handshaking is the travel
er explains in this wise:
"The chief came up, and for the
first time held out a 'knobkerry' cut
from a rhinoceros horn for me to
shake. I, of course, shook it, glad
of this expression of friendliness,
though quite aware that if it stop
ped at this it meant nothing. But
as I walked down the Blope from the
camp after the men ho came up
again, and this time not only held
out his knobkerry, but as I shook
one end he shook the other. After
walking a few yards he repeated this
more vigorously. Then at last he
held out his hand; we shook hands,
at first coldly, and then more cordi
ally. Finally, after we had walked
a couple of hundred yards, he re
peated the process, and the chief
spat upon me, a salutation which I
returned with perhaps unnecessary
vigor. I had been warned that
whenever Masai retire from confer
ence without spitting the spit of
reace, squalls may be expected. I
was, therefore, much relieved when
this friendly rite had been per-
onned."
Bnt all this meant nothing, for
that very night a band of Masai war
riors, led by this same chief, came
crawling snakily through the grass
bent upon massacreing the camp.
But the traveler was ready for them,
and they crawled back, leaving sev
eral of their dead npon the field.
Dr. Gregory's botanical and zoo-
ogical observations are full of inter-
st. He seems to have solved one
f the problems that have vexed
African explorers for a long time
why there should be in some places
vast heaps of bones of animals all
mixed together. Some writers have
attributed this to the action of a
deluge, but Dr. Gregory says the
bones are the remains of animals
that, in season of drought, have
fought around the water holes for
their last drop.
