It is the lad's first step in bra vado, resistance of sober morality, and a bold step in disobedience. Just now take the matter on the scientific side. Tobacco blights a boy's finest power wit, muscle, conscience, will. Nations are legislating against it. Germany, with all her smoke says : "No tobacco in the schools." It spoils their brains and makes them too small for soldiers. Knock at the door of the great military institution of France. "No tobacco," is the response. Try West Point and Annapolis" "Drop that cigarette," is the word. Indeed smoking bovs r.re not likely to get so far as that. Major Houston, of the Marine Corps, who is in charge of the Washington navy yard barracks, says that one-iifth of all the bovs examined are rejected for heart disease, of which ninety-nine cases in one hundred come from ciga- r , ' It TA rettes. His tirst question is : "i'o you smoke?" "No sir," is the invariable re ply. But the record is stamped on the very body of the lad, and out he goes. Apply for a position in a bank. If you use tobacco, beer, cards the bai.k has no use for you. Business life demands fine brains, steady nerve, firm conscience. Watch the boys. See one sixteen years in age, twelve in size, twenty m sin, and be smokes-nrobabiy chews and drinks. Babes of seven and eight years are at it. The vice increases. 1 could pile up statistics, by the hour, testimony from the highest med ical authority, of the misery preparing and already come. The use of ciga rettes increases enormously, but, only increases the use of strong tobacco. In August, LSSO, sixteen millions more cigars were made in this country than in the year before, and the firm that made this statement credits the in crease to the cigarette, and the fault to careless parents. Tobacco is murdering many a lad. Where they do not fairly kill ciga rettes are the devil's kindling wood. "Who saves his country, saves all things And all things living bless him, Who lets his country die, lets all things die. And all things dying curse him." The probable destiny of America has been and is a subject of much specula tion. We are apt to smile when we hear the school-boy discussing in high sounding periods whether the signs of the times indicate long life to the Re public and yet that same school-boy has his part, great or small, in deter mining some element in the future of this great country. And it is to the aggregation of school-boys, gathered in all our institutions of learning, from the powerful university down to the mud-daubed free school on the mount ain side, that the functions of govern ment, the duties and responsibilities of citizenship are finally to be entrusted. There can be no such thing as a good government existing continuous ly, without good subjects. And he who aids in the work of making honest, intelligent and capable citizens, is a pa triot and deserves the recognition and support of society. He is a maker of history. The school-teacher, wherever he is suited to the task before him, is an active agent for the perpetuation of the institutions of a free people. As to his work, from an intellectual standpoint as to the beneficial results of instruct ion, these need not be argued. They have been dwelt upon at length a thousand times. They are the subjects of anv number of learned discourses, nrofound theses and eloquent orations But it is to the work of the teacher in the formation of character and morals, that I wish to call attention. The theory has been urged over and over again that "What is in a man will come out of him." Or in other words that education is nothing more than the development of latent qualities. Possibly this may be true, if reference is made only to the evolution of the mind. The man who was born with the soul of an artist might never suc ceed as a stock-broker. But when we take the citizen's char acter, and not his occupation, into con sideration we find the declaration "What is in a man will come out of him" a miserable and deceptive half-truth. LIFS ON THS FASiL NO. 30. 722 FAMOUS DABS DAT OF 17SL Rocky Mount Argonaut. Everything looks favorable for exten sive mining operations in this vicinity in the near future. The Argo Mining Company have a large force of men at work on the "Mann-Arrington" and are getting out very valuable ore. They have several hundred tons on hand ready for the mill. On vein No. 2, a compartment shaft is being sunk to strike the vein on the dip. This vein will be cut in a few feet more and then deep mining will be commenced in earnest. The new vein has been opened up for six or seven hundred feet along its course and shows good pay ore the entire length. At the Convers, drifting was com S:me cf Its Imperial. Advantages Snmned np. menced this morning. The drifts will open up a body of ground eighty-five foof in fWith. Tn sinkinc the shaft VX V AIM. X " every foot in depth on the vein gave a return of about one and a naif tons of exceedingly rich ore. Immense re turns of the precious metal may there fore be expected from the drifts and stopes. This property shows as rich gold ore as is to be found in America Prospecting work was started on the Portis this week. When opened up properly, which it will be as soon as the work can be done, this grand old mine will show up a wealth of gold estate in the world. Although show mg a record of over two million dol lars this property has had nothing but its surface scratched over. By this some idea can be found as to the re suits which will accrue from legitimate mining with an adequate plant to wash the pay dirt and reduce the ore A great strike has been made on the Edwards gold mine property belong ing to the Edwards Mining Co. o Pittsburg, Penn. Three veins of very rich free milling ore have been struck while the surface in the vicinity of the veins pans rich in nugget and fine gold. A force of men are at work de veloping, and big returns are expect ed. Other prospects are being opened which promise good results. In one place a four foot vein of rich free mil ling ore lias been uncovered, and sev eral other smaller veins have been struck elsewhere. We have always considered this Eastern Gold Belt as being very rich, in fact unsurpassed by any in this country, but must confess that we have been most agreeably surprised at late developments. There is no doubt From thf Masaehu?tt$ I'!oughmin. What are some of the advantages of the country? Ixjt us count them up. Fresh air. The sun-bine. In citic the mu- light never gets into parts of the wr quarters. No overcrowding. A steady field for labor. Fair wnges. " Enough to et which one may raise on his own land. Better social adyanatges, especially for the laborer. Opportunities that develop self-res- Iect, honor, independence. It is from the country that the lest stock is drawn. The strong men who have been an honor to this country were country-raised, and it was to that they owed their force of character In the country the lines letween the employer and the employes are not drawn so closely as to make either feel that such a relation constitutes in feriority on the part of the employed. The class lines are much stronger in the city than in the country, and to Americans there is always discomfort with that condition of affairs.

With graces rare she gaily goes Upon the stage to show 'em. Her essay is first-rate prose, But her dress is just a poem. Washington Star comes out of him, not what has existed in him from the beginning. The mind at its creation is little more than capac ity and tendency. Suppose there ha q Wegfc excepted. been a generation of malefactors. The child of such parents comes into the world with a capacity for good and a tendency toward evil. The office of the teacher is to develop the good to repress the evil. His business is to throw the attraction of personal influ ence over the pupil, until the boy can look at his master and say : "I wish to bo like him." The teacher can be largely instru mental in imparting knowledge which will enable the boy to know what is right ; the teacher can aid in implant ing goodness that will prompt the boy to do what is right. Is the teacher a patriot? Is he ac corded the importance that he deserves!

"Bread and meat that supplies physical strength ; "bread and meat" that gives mental power ; "bread and meat" that com mands influence with men and na tions. How much better would be the con dition of the South if the bread and meat that gives strength of muscle to her people was produced on her own fields ! Too long the cribs and smoke houses of the South have been in the West. To expect prosperity in such a condition of affaire, is as irrational as tlio Kiicpfias of an army with all its munitions of war in the heart o the enemy's territory. The South must produce her bread and meat before she can enjoy finan cial independence and personal prosperity. But. more important is it that the South furnish the bread and meat that is to give strength to the mental fac ulties of her children. No man can knowingly employ a overne.es in his family who would teach his children that they were the luckless descendants of dishonorable sires. His self-respect would forbid it, even if love for his children did not shelter them irom such cruelty. How then can the South welcome teachers, books, periodicals and news papers that teem with such expres- sions as "rebel," and tell her children that their fathers sleep in dishonored graves? The South needs and de mands teachers and books that are G kI commissioned apostles of Truth. But strength of body and vigor of mind is not all that are needed in the South. Let her use the means that God has placed in her power to ac quire influence with men and nations. Her fields are the richest and her climate the most salubrious in all the world. Wealth sleeps in her moun tains and pearls lie scattered on her seashores.

M.t that a moM noticeable diminution of litfbt Uu'rm. and in an hour tho gloom was a in tense as the dusk that just precede- the night. Fowls went to their n"t.- domestic animals fdiowed unea.mes dogs whined, and candles were lighted to attend to household duties. A near ly full moon arose at U o'clock, but tin blackness was so intense that not a particle of shading could le distin guished letween earth and fky. little past midday the darkness com menced to disjterse, the reddish dii-1 of the moon could Ik? boated, an when Saturday evening came the sun set with his usual lustre, and the Mar twinkled as with unwonted brightness It seems incredible, as one wans tin data gathered by Professor William-, of Harvard College, that the true and simple causes that underlay this dark ness were not deduced therefrom, but even the eminent astronomer Hers chell consigned it to the domain of the unexplainable. Clearly, undoubtedly, and demon strably as the simplest thing in com mon arithmetic, this notable darkness was due to smoke-laden air currents that temporarily stopjed, by reason of a not uncommon condition in meteor ology, that might lo termed an atmos pheric dam. The character of the darkness, the precipitation that ac companied it, the Mmiewhat pungent rJi.r t tin riivcolor.it ion of ckv on d.tvs jii ------ - k - preceding, the ajiect of sun and moon, the scum on the rivers, the dead calm of the afternoon and the forepart of the night, the indications of the ba rometer, the similar occurrences on smaller scales inc(i all these thingr attest unmistakably that this phenom enal darkness was owing only to a rather unusual combination of natural conditions. True, the forest- or prairie-hres were not in the immediate vicinity of this large, dark district, and but for the in opjortune lecalming of the sir when thus loaded with this vapor, allowing it to gorge, dam up, spread out, and thicken until the sustaining strata were close to the earth, no particular attention would have leen given to a perfectly natural occurrence that tens of thousands of people thought w.-is the dawn of doom, as prefigured in the Apocalyptic vision. There ha not been an end-of-t he world scare within the century that has not used this wild-fire ftnokc as a basis from which to excite ill-equipjed minds Into an uneemlv exhibition of lavish and demoralizing fear. That the eminent Herschell regarded it a.- ie did is readily explained on the hy Kthesis that lie dwelt where there were no factors to produce Mich an oc currence, and he was probably unac quainted with the physical interior of this great country. The report.- that reached him were undoubtedly grave ly distorted from being filtered through the then prevailing peculiar general mental conditions, which teem to have been wholly inadequate to rise to the higher grasp and conceptions of na tare.
