Xo one can tell how nor when the war with Spain will terminate, but it is to be hoped that the exceedingly poor plight in which this country found itself for war a few weeKs ago will have a good effect. To be sure, our government has already seen the disadvantages of a poor navy, a poorly equipped army, and a general unreadi ness for war. If Spain had pitched into war in dead earnest on the 22nd of April, Uncle Sam would have made a mighty poor show. The tardiness with which things drag ia a great help to our country in getting ready for war some time in the future. The hail storm that passed over this ragion last week seems to have zig- z.iyed clear across the State. There was great destruction to crops and to fruit in many parts of the State. It shows up, howeyer, one advantage 01 our cumaie. .f armers in tnis com munity who lost their crops are plant ing again corn and cotton and witn all gooa seasons expect almost as good a crop as they would have realized from the first planting. The truth is, most formers do too little to their land3 be fore planting ; and that is why the sec ond planting sometimes does so much better than one would expect. It has the advantage of all the plowing that was done for the first crop. m m o Dancing is recreation, they say, and according the following calculation by one who doubtless knows, it is rath er strong recreation for some girls who are often too feeble to help their mother o'mornings : "An average waltz . takes a dancer over about three quarters of a mile, a square dance makes him cover half a mile. A girl with a well-filled pro gramme travels thus in one evening : Twelve waltzes, nine miles ; four other dances, at half a mile apiece, which is hardly a fairly big estimate, two miles more : the intermission troll, and the trips to the dressing- room to renovate her gown and com plexion, half a mile ; grand total, elev en and a half miles." Some of the brethren of the press are findiug out, even at a late hour, that the people of Eastern Carolina are as- patriotic as those of any other part of the State, and there was more good eason for the soldier boys to remain at Lome than to rush into the army at the first call. Hasty conclusions are generally dangerous and often times they are faulty ; "and this is especially true when the honor and patroitism of North Carohnans are in question. Let us hope that it will never be come necessary for more of our boys rom any part of the State be called . . j out. That tne war may soon euu the hope and desire of all. The following bit of news sent out from Madrid a few days ago snows t j: 1a CSioin aa onvtlllnc as muca uisaatei iu kJjf"1" -"j since the war began : "The attention of the public to-day is absorbed in the rush on the bant s force, which is considered more serious than any reverse of the war, Inasmuch as the impossibility of the bank to help the government means impossi bility to continue the war. There was a long procession at the , J ;n tha rinv.

B0A5TEES ARE ALWAYS SMALL. Present-Day Thoughts. BY "NfiMO." (Copyrighted b y Dawe & Tabor.) Those who boast most are those who otherwise would possibly be lost to sight. The truly great never boast ; they do not need to. It is the mind that is'too small to understand its re lation to other minds, that yaunteth it self to be something great ; and be cause it is so small it is usually alone in its self-glorifying opinion. To . do and then to be content; whether the doing becomes known or not, is to be great. But to do some trifling thing and then outrageously cackle about it, is not only to be small but to appear small. It is better to abide by the so ber estimate of our fellows than to con fuse their minds and disgu3t them by our vain gloryings. , Granting that our work has value some one will surely arise to express appreciation ol its hon esty and simplicity. "Even earth-worms have had a Darwin to explain the po tency of their doings. But it no praise comes, what matter? The heart that feels its own purity of intention, is not without an inner reward. The surest way to a downfall is to toast, because the very self-confidence of the boaster prevents him from making the most ordinary and common-sense prepara tions lor difficulties yet to be faced and deeds yet to be done. Let us give this thought a strong and timely turn. Xationally we need it ; lor by unfortunate chance many men unprepared bv study, unripe in judgement, iguorant of history and its teachings blatant boasters are, dur ing these days of national testing, writ ing head-Jines and editorials for some of the most-read American newspapers. They are causing at home and abroad a most unfortunate estimate of our na tional worth, and they not ouly threat en to but actually do make us look ri diculous in the eyes of the world. Xor this only, but they sin against us all and against the generation yet, to come, by giving us a false opinion of our selves. V Our nation is too great and has too much reserve possibility of future greatness to be worthily led in its opin ions by writers ot noisy headlines that twist the capture of a freighter into a notable achievement, or who magnify a skirmish into a naval engagement, or who describe everything, either good or bad, in terms that .are never less than superlative. The day that Dew ey's victory at Manila became known, one of these blind leaders In Xew York, with readers that number nearly a mil lion, fairly frothed at the mouth as be , penned his editoral. A most moderate line was that "Strange Asiatic "fishes are now nibbling at the mustaches of the haughty Dons ; and "We. own the western hemisphere ; see !" This sure is not the American spirit, j-et it gets remarked upon as such. If m any faint measure I can interpet the real American feeling, it was voiced in Ad miral Dewey's own message, when after mentioning his victory in most ordinary terms, he closed by saying that he was taking good care of two hundred or more wounded Spaniards. V One scribbler for a paper that boasts (I suppose because no news from Mars and the distant stars can be gained to disprove the assertion) a circulation "the greatest in the universe" called the Manila exploit "the greatest naval engagement in the history of the world." Such a writer is in the conditon of an illiterate man who knows nothing ex cept what has happened during his own life time. From Semiramis to the time of our own late war,, there have been a dozen nayal engagements that have affected the map of the world more than this one will, knowing that it is the first decided battle be tween modern warships though Chili, pn TSms-il. .Tanan and China have x u. -r- 7 r given us much knowledge in that di rection yet the Spaniards were at our mercy from the outset. They were cauebt napping to negin wim, unequal to us in number of guns and weigntoi metal though outnumbering us in ships and unprepared with trained gunners The last man to over-estimate it as a tost of modern "warfare nf- Tnhn ttevins. editor of the Press; Anthon, Iowa, says'I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di ,,hna Remedv in my family for nl- tennvears. have recommended it to nf others, and have never i it tn fail in - a smele instance For sale by E. T. Whitehead. Co. would be a brave Admiral Dewey him self. Boasting is excluded, but the thing to be thankful for is that his courageous entry of the harbor was made justifiable, because the Spaniards were not even able to explode their sub marine mines at the proper moment of effectiveness. Had they succeeded in damaging him these very same jour nals of ill-balanced, ill-bred, brainless boy-men would.have held ghoat-dances oyer the grave of his reputation. Before we accept the boasting stand ard as one to rally around, let us bear in mind that we are in combat with a seventh-rate power, whose finances are in a terrible condition, and wOose un readiness is extraordinary. If our gage of battle had been thrown down in February of this year to some other European power, whose ships and men were absolutely ready for light, v;e should undobtedly have had to mourn many terrible disasters before we were able to rally for efiective delsnce and ultimate triumph. I say ultimate tri umph in no boasting manner, but only because our resources are so jvast that with a war dragged out to any length we should undoubtedly win at this end of the conflict at the last. Wa have done wonders in mustering aiid equip ping 100,000 men and in iastituting effective coast protections in about a month, but it is well that .they were not needed within a week after the war began. Then again, let us ask ourselres what this war is about. By every congress ional declaration, we must suppose it to be a deed of mercy towards a suffer ing and down-trodden people other wise would we certainly not hafe cho sen a lamed and limping adversary? Who ever beard of righteous merciful ness, blowing blasts of self-glcri Scat ion ? Boasting ! There is no room ior boast ing I With the dignity and thorough ness of true greatness we are striving to do a good deed. These j violent in terpreters of our doings; who would make us to stink in the nostrils of self- j respected nations, are like i Kings' fools at a state funeral out of place. Tit For Tat. Tontli's Companion. A certain doctor who had had ner vous prostration was heard to remark that the breakdown was of inestimable value to nirn ; it gave him an insight which he had never before possessed. He was not inclined thereafter to scorn the wbim3 and follies of overwrought patients. The author of the little book called "An Amateur Angler" had a somewhat similar experience, which perhaps did wonders in developing his sympathies. He was angling for gray ing. I cast my red spinner over a big fish that had just risen in midstream, but he declined the ofier ; again he came up, and again I dropped the spinner on the point of his nose, but still he declined. I was perhaps a little flustered at this contempt. 1 drew up hastily, and as I did so my foot slipped in a hole ; the consequence w7as tbat a gust of wind blew lino and all in a confused bang into my face. I threw it out again, with the impression, delicately conveyed to my ears by the swish of the line, that the fly was off. I wound up according, and found that off it was, and I began making arrangements for putting on a fresh one. I called out to the major, and told him to have a go at my grayling while I replaced my lost fly. Lost your fly !" repeated he, look ing curiously into my face. "Why, its sticking in- your nose !" and he burst into a roar of laughter. Then I, wondering, put my finger to the tip of my nose, and there, to my astonishment, mylicrror and, I may add, my terror, I found the hook firm ly embedded in cai tilage. When I in ado the recast, I must have driven the hook deeply into, the nose, and far below the barb. Yet, most marvellous of, all I had never feltthe slightest pang or twitch. Of course we knocked off fishing at once, and slowly and solemnly I march ed home, covering my face with a handkerchief whenever I met any one upon the read. Wheal reached the house, I examined my nose in a looking-glass, arid I conies-? to feeling wo- fully discouraged. The barbed be trayer was there firmly fixed, and I anw there nothing for -it but to send for the doctor. He came m due course with his lan cet, and the hook was removed ; but I should be a sorry man if I thought I should ever angle for . myself again with such good result. A little boy asked for a bottle of "get un-in the morning as fast as you can, the druggist recognized a household name for "DeWitt's Little JLarly Itisers, and gave blm a bottle of those famous Httl e pills for constipation, sick head ache, liver and stomach troubles." E. T. Whitehead & Co. IT WAS BAD BACON. BUT A ' DANGEROUS TRICE. A Duel of Which Jackson was Ashamed. Youths' Companion. None ot General Jackson's biograph ers giye the details of his first duel, and he himself neyer cared to speak of the matter in later vears ; but some years ago a granddaughter of Col. Waitstill Avery told me the full story. Waitstill Avery was a Massachusetts man who went to North Carolina, car rying with him a letter of recommend ation from no less a personage than Jonathan Edwards. He soon acquired reputation and influence, and in time became attorne3r-general of the state. It was 'his custom to take students of law into his family, who became tutors of his children. In 17Si, when Andrew Jackson was but seventeen years old and ambitious to become a lawyer, he applied for this situation. The tradition is that he was relusad because a daughter of Avery's took a dislike to his uncouth appear ance. Young J i.e.-; applied to Spruce McCay, a lawyer ia Salisbury, X. C, in who cliice he was fitted for the bar, and he shortly made his ap pearance in the courts. When Jack son was twenty-one years ot age, he and Avery met in the trial of a case at Jonesboro, Tenn. It was Jackson's habit to carry in his saddle-biigs a copy of "Bacon's Abridgment," and to make frequent appeals to it in his cases. This preci ous book was always carefully done up in coarse brown paper, such as grocers used before the neat paper-bags of the present day were invented. The un wrapping of this much-prized volume before a court was a very solemn func tion as performed by Jackson. Now Avery had by this time drop ped whatever of Puritan sedateness had commended him to Jonathan Edwards, and was uncommonly fond of a joke. He procured a piece of bacon ust the size of the book, and while Jackson was addressing the court he slipped out the volume from its wrap ping and substituted the bacon. At length Jackson had occasion to appeal to Lord Bacon. It was an im portant case, and he would not trust to his memory. He would confound his opponent by reading from the book itself. While still talking, he raised the bearskin flap of his saddle-bags, drew out the brown paper package, carefully untied the string, unfolded the paper with the decorous gravity ot a priest handling the holy things of the altar, and then, without looking at what he held in his hand, exclaimed triumphantly, "We will now see what Bacon says !" The court, bar, jury and spectators were convulsed with laughter before Jackson saw the trick that had been played on him. Of course he was furi ous. He snatched .a-pen, and on the blank leaf of a law-book wrote a per emptory challenge, which he delivered then and there. He asked for no apology nothing but blood would do. He commanded Aveiy to select a friend and arrange for a meeting at once. Avery made no answer to this per emyitory demand, thinking his peppery antagonist wouldlaugh' rather than fight, as he grew cooler. But he. did not know the young man. Jackson grew hotter Instead of cooler. Xext morning, he sent this note, which was full of bad spelling. My Xorth Caro lina friend had seen the original, and in copying it had corrected the ortho graphy ; but these are the exact words : August 12, 1788. Sir : When a man's feelings and character are injured, he ought to seek a ppeedy redress. You received a few lines fronune yesterday, and undoubt edly you understand me.

Therefore I hope you will not fail in meeting me this day. From yoar obt. st., Andrew Jacksox. P. S. This evening after court ad journs. Avery concluded to accept this cha! lenge ; and so, in the dusK of the sum mer evening, the duel came off in hollow north of Jonesboro, in the pres ence of the same crowd tbat had laughed at Jackson's predicament. When the word was given, Jackson fired quickly, and his ball flicked Avery's ear, scratching it slightly. Now was Avery's chance to change the later history of his country, but hiB Puritan blood asserted itself. He fired in the air, then advanced and offered Jackson his hand, which was accepted. Samuel T. Pickakd. The Reward of Thrift. Nesr York Tribune. A story is told of one of the gieat men of to-day which has the added charm of being romantic as well as true. As in the story-books, it begins with "Once upon a time" though not so long ago a small boy, looking for employment, found it with a photog rapher in Nashville, Tenn. Unlike most Southern boys this little fellow, working for a small stipend, saved up all he could spare, until it had become a snug little pile that turned the whole tide of his life. He was at his work one day when a young friend came to him, and, wish ing to borrow some money, left his book for security, but told his friend, Pay me when you can." at the same ime fearing he would see no returns from his loan. The friend left the book and it prov ed to be a work on astronomy, so the youth examined it, and found it most interesting, and then resolved to know all he could of the heayen?, reading every book he could find on the sub ject. He purchased a telescope and spent his nights on the root, studying the stars. He worked faithfully for his employer, but he never grew tired of studying the wonders of the worlds around him. At last as a reward for his laboi-3, he discovered two comets before the watchful scientists knew of them, notwithstanding their greater advantages. This made the lad's name familiar to ail the learned world and he wa3 asked to see what he could do with the six-men telescope at Vander-; bilt College. Within six years he was the happy discoverer of six comets. Later, at Lick Observatory, he discov ered eight more, and astounded the world by discovering the fifth satellite of Jupiter. He it was who Invented a new method of photographing the neb ulae of the Milky Way. This boy, who, by a small loan to hie friend, became so great an astronomer, Prof. E. E. Barnard, in charge of Yerkes Observatory, ot Chicago Uni versity. Sand Pile for Children. "First in a child's outfit should be a sand heap if the young ones are quite young," writes Charles M. Skinner of "Gardens for Children" in the June Ladies Home Journal. "Almost the first thing that human beings want to do, after they learn to eat is to dig. A cartload of sand is one of the cheap est and most satisfying playthings in the world. It is worth a houseful of dolls and painted monkeys on sticks. Watch Johnny and Nelly at their work and you will wish most heartily that you could hnd the novelty and enthu siasm in your employments. That sand pile is very coemos. Mountains are bnilded from it with the use of tin shnvpls and beach nails : there are envea in the cool depths near the foot of those Himalayas caves b'g enough lor the cato turn around in ; Johnny makes a fort on his side, and Nelly lays out a garden on hers. Johnny's fort mounts murderous clothespins, and the arden has trees and flowers and foun tains made of burned matches, wisps ot paper and broom straws, while chi na dolls walk abroad there and take the air. 'What ttifling ! did you say ? Not so. This is one of -the most se- affairs in life. Don't vou see that in this play the little ones are learning?

"Blessed is the man who has found !iis work. Let him assk no other bless edness." So says Thomas Carlyle. There is eveiy thing in a good fit. A square peg in a round hole, or a round p?g in a square hola is always a failure. Yet we see men struggling along in positions for which they are not adapt ed any more than a pumpkin is to umg on a grape-yine. How came they t cn'.er these occupations? Somo supposed advantage. "There i money a it." "The position is honorable." The work is not hard." There has been no careful consideration ot tbo abilities the calling requires. But this is the very first thing a young man should consider before he chooses his life work. It is hard to fight against nature. God has set a certain stamp on all of us, and this we name 'our aotitudes. These are decisive as to what we should do. The man who is ongue-tied should not seek to be a preacher, and the man who is brain tied better not try to enter any of the learned pursuits. There is scarcely ny thing more pathetic than to see a man struggling with a profession for which nature did not design him. Of course some men can turn their atten- ion profitably to a variety of occupa- ions, but others will surely fail it they do not find their true places. Many persons think the humble occupations are not honorable enough. They were made to be blacksmiths, and mechanics, and farmers ; but they think that to get such social positions as they desire they must become phy sicians or preachers or lawyers. Non sensical pride ! It is tar more honora ble to be a first-class mechanic than a fourth-class lawyer. is not the position itself. but the class of work one does in it that is honorable. The man who makes good shoes is a greater success than the man who preaches poor sermons. Says Mr. Marden "If your vocation he an humble one, elevate it with more man- lood than others put into it. Belter dorn your own lij;m seek another's place. Go to the bottom of your busi ness and you will soon reach the top." On the other hand Lowell gives the warning : "It is the vain endeavor to make ourselves what we are not that las strewn history with so many broken purposes and lives left in tho rough. Bruised Beauties. Selected. Whi'e American women ride on bi cycles for pleasure, the sultan of Mo rocco uses bicycles as instruments of torture for any of the women ot 1m hasem who have the mibfortune to of fend him. The unhappy odalisques are compelled to mount machines and ride around a marked track in tho pal ace gardens. Not knowing how lo ride, their repeated falls and other mis haps furnish the sultan and his more favored wives with endless amusement. When they have fallen twenty times provided, of course that they have not broken their backs in the meantime the punishment is complete and the bruised beauties are allowed to retire. Bad management keeps more people poor circumstances than any other in one cause To be successiui one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a tayorable opportunity presents . -. . i t itself he is ready to taKe aa vantage ui it.
