The graduating ot the class from Annapolis two months ahead ot time md assigning them to places in the navy, was a confession of unreadiness on the part of the United States to go to war. No doubt already Spain hae construed that to mean that the United States is badly scared. The bill prohibiting false statements in advertisements passed both branches of the New York Legislature. Wonder how tne officers of the law will find out whether advertisers have made mis statements or not ? Such a law would not trouble many business men in some North Carolina towns we know; lor they do not advertise at all. North Carolina has not seen such a mammoth larce in many years as has been played on the railroad stage with Governor Russell as manager. It has heen the biggest temptest in the small 'at teapot that has ever been witnessed in the State. After all the stir and -jputter over railroads and railroad passes and the like, the matter is about as it was when the fuss was commenced It has gone out to the world that at the last session of the North Carolina Legislature more money was paid to the emoloves of the Senate than to the members of that body themselves This is credited to the Auditor's re- nort : and some one has remarked that the members of the Senate were oyer- paid. All of which means that the money consideration before that august body was about the first and last thought. One of the calamities of war, aside from the butchery of human beings, is the burdens that ars beeped upon the spared in the matter of taxation. War excitement raises prices eyen before hostilities commence and the effect is The Phila- felt lone after they cease. delpbia Record pertinently fays : "The war of the rebellion was terminated over thirty years ago ; but the country is still paying direct war taxes to the amount of nearly $200,- 000,000 per annum, and has not re covered from the calamitous conse quences of war finance."

To Them it means Nothing. BY "NEMO." (Copyrighted by Dawe & Tabor.) Sweet Easter.! Its music lingers in our ears and our hearts have happiness, for it bespeaks the triumph of the beau tiful. We know that the time now is when the harsh ontlines of the hills and the bare trees will be softened with del icate foliage, and the brown and ark some tints of the winter-bound land scape be transformed into every possible tint of green. Under the influence of this thought we feel raised up, we stand in the high places of joy, we are full to overflowing of the exhilaration that comes to the soul through eyes that see and understand. But empty our larders and rob us of cloths, drive us together like beasts and shelter us worse, slash our trembling limbs with machetes where then would be this bland sense of physical content ment? Surround us with all the glo ries of tropic verdure, let the sun rise in grandeur and shine undlmmed, let it sink in the west and, in sinking, paint unspeakable wonders across one halt the heavens how would this feast of the eye satisfy you when hunger was drivme out all other feelings? Easter and its rebirth of beauty would be a mere wretched mockery ot misery.

Various Observations. (Correspondence to The Commonwealth.) The spring season in these parts Guilford, Randolph, Alamance has been quite favorable for farmers as well as hopeful for fruit growers; but though no disaster has overtaken the ruft thus far, past experience ha shown that late spring frosts often blast the fairest prospects of the fruit grow er so no one dare be confident ot a full fruit crop as yet. The wheat pros pect is fine, and complainers seem to be few. The past winter is regarded as having been exceedingly mild, though it gave us an occasional "snap" of cold, as at New Year's, and the last week in January, and even now, the 30th cj March. The winds are so sharp as to portend danger of frost. Nor do I sup pose that HaMfax is necessarily beyond the reach of the same danger, though he fruit crop with you is so small in comparison with whaHt is here, that what would be a serious loss here is lessened very much when it falls upon the counties in the East.- Since these notes were begun there have beeu two frosty mornings here April 2nd and April 3rd and the amount of damage done has not been reported as yet. That much of the crop has been killed here and there, there can be no doubt, though this does not plainly appear to one who is passing along the highways Frost does far more damage to the or chards which are situated contiguous to low, damp place? and water couren compared with those on the higher grounds. And, perhaps mostly because so much ot the timber has been felled in the clearing of farm lands, and the sunnlv of the lumber demand, the winters have gradually become X XT more severe than they were even thir ty years ago. This is the tedtimony of some of the older inhabitants. A few moments ago I accosled a gen tleman on his way to Greensboro with a load ot hay for market, and to . my question, -'what is hay worm nis an swer was. "Forty cents a hundred." But it was hay of the lowest quality,!. nnnioininir hrnnm straw, weeds, etc.. WUbiuif) w 7 ' I in considerable proportion.

Oswalt, a former Mormon elder, but now a Baptist preacher. HeJ married into a Mormon family in Mississippi when quite young. In 1879 he was induced to join their church without examining their doctrines. In 1880 he moved with a number of Mormon families from Mississippi to a Mormon settle ment in the Rocky Mountains of Col orado, 8,000 fe8t feet above sea level. Heie he was made an elder. When he got bold of their book of "Doctrines and Covenant," his eyes were opened by its absurdities and blasphemies, taught as direct revelations from God to their successive prophets. Each successor of Joe Smith is believed to be a proph et, who receives special revelations from God for the guidance of the Lat terday Saints. Though it may contra dict a former revelation, the last Bull issued by this prophet is binding on all Mormons as the latest decree of God. Hence vou can never know into - what absurdities Mormonism will run. It simply depends upon the will or whim of their prophet as to what Bull he may issue as the special degree of- I heaven j Instead of the Paradise promised them by the Mormon elders who took tnem to the Rocky Mountains, they found it, as a wag described it, "nine months winter and three montns late m the fall." Hence the Mississippi f.j0n or freezing out. By reading their hook of "Doctrine and Covenants," Elder Oswalt became satisfied that Mormonism was false. When he got back to his old home and friends he joined a Baptist church and was finally ordained to the ministry, He is now zealously preaching as pas- tor of several churcnes.

Selected. - Several times during his presidency, Abraham Lincoln had occasion to re buke his governmental associates. One of the most effective of these, because administered in Lincoln's own inimit able, good-natured way, is recounted by Gen. Porter in a reminiscent article in tne Century. It was on a trip down the Potomac to visit Gen. Grant's army. Lincoln did not feel quite well. Perhaps he was a trifle seasick, and he said so. In Gen. Porter's words : "An officer of the party now saw that an opportunity had arisen to make this the supreme moment of giving him a chance to BOothe the digestive organs of the Chief Magistrate of the nation. He said : 'Try a glass of champagne, Mr. President. That is always a certain cure for seasickness.' Mr. Lincoln look ed up at him for a moment, his face lighted up with a smile, and then re marked : No, my friend ; I nave seen too many fellows seasick ashore from drinking that very stuff.' "This was a settler lor the officer, and all present joined heartily in the laugh, at his expense." Bose Tree 1,000 Years Old. Pall-Mall Gazette.
