It is still astounding to The Commonwealth that Eastern Carolina, the place where so much cot ton is produced, is doing so little practically nothings in this industry.. It seems rather premature to com mence talking about such disruption m the Republican party that there will be two presidential candidates from that party. The Republican party never seriousiy divides, an! any such calculation on the part ot the Demo cratic party will prove only a delusion and a snare. Sometimes the Demo cratic party splits up and divides its strength, but the Republican party never. "We are drifting from the old ways," says one who is regarded by some as "an old fogy." Well, may we not in quire whether this fje true? Are we really drifting from the old-time sim plicity of life? To say we are not, accord ing to tne opinion of some, is to say that we are non-progres3ive. .Progress, with some people, means a cutting loose from old things and doing things by new plans entirely ; while with seme others, it means the improving of the old anil making things belter and more effective by the old plans. It is to be feared that In many things old-time simplicity hi turned away from to the detriment of our best interests. The man who says, "Let us look for t.he oil paths," i:3 uttering not altogether an empty sound. The frouLIo with the captain and one or two ether officers of the milita ry company at Mount Airy, grew out of the smartness of some "Smart Aleck" who put in his words when they were not needed. While the company was drilling in the streets, as is their cus-' torn, reports say eome one on the side walk kept saying "halt !" Tim dis turbed the company and when an in vestigation was attempted by the Cap tain of the company, trouble followed and resulted in the arrest of the Cap tain and another officer or two. In de fault of bail they were sent to jail. Perhaps the members of the military company in question wera indiscreet ; but if the reports are correct, the man on the side-walk wa3 more so and wa3 first to blame. That eleventh com mandment which some one said ought to be, "Let everybody attend to his own business," is a good precept, at east. Does the use of the rod in school prevail as much now as formerly.' u it does, is it best? These are questions that engage the attention of teachers and others especially interested in school work.

AS I'J WUBiuei -"J i .i - f na r-rut oHop-fither. asiue me us "-o there is soma "difference of opinion.

We recently heard a teacher of experience say that he thought the rod is to good discip line and thorough work in school what the navy is to the United States army a power to bring things to pass some times when alLelse fails.

Philadelphia Record. Tenant farmers work under greater difficulty than owners. They must pay rent, and must make the rent on the farm first of all expenses. One of the gravest mistakes made by rent ers is that of taking as much as possible from the land without returning an equivalent. This is more injurious t' the tenant than to the owner, especially if the tenant rents the farm for a lon ger period than one year. The farm is the workshop, and the more mate rial the tenant can convert into a mar ketable product the more he will gain by the transaction. If a field produces fO bushels of corn per acre and the use of fertilizers will increase the yield to GO bushels the increased yield may not only pay the rent, but give a larg er profit than would be deriyed from 40 bushels. It is the labor that is cost!', and it takes as much work to get 40 bushels of corn as it does lor 60. The rule with renters should be to ee cure as much as possible for the labor bestowed rather than for the rent in curred. It the farm is poor and the renter adds nothing thereto he may lose both the rent and the profit. It is also more satisfactory to the owner to know that the renter m-Tke3 a large profit and leaves the lund in as good condition as before. The fall is an excellent time for buy ing pure bred stock, as breeders are disposed to sell at lower prices in order to save room in the stables or barns and avoid the labor and care of carry ing surplus stocs over winter. Farm ers who are interested in improvement in that direction should take advan take cf the fall season in buying. When the pasture is scant turn the sheep on if the weed3 are thick, in or der to keep the weeds down and de stroy them. Weed3 may be mowed when they have made considerable growth, but all weeds that grow de prive the land of fertility. Sheep graze close to the ground and find every plant that pushes above the surface. It will not perhaps answer to compel a flock of sheep to subsist on scant herb age and some grain or hay may be al lowed in addition so the food procured on the pasture or stubble field, but the weeds will be destroyed completely il sheep are given an opportunity to work on them. There are fewer sheep in this coun try at present than in some previous years, but the value of all the sheep in the United States is greater than before. The total number of sheep in this country is about 86,000,000 and it is estimated that the increase in value of each sheep is about ?1. The value of the wool is less than formerly, but the improvement of sheep by the use of the large mutton breeds has result ed in superior mutton and higher prices. One of the most prosperous industries now is the production of early lambs for market, as they reach a marketable age a month earlier by reason of more rapid growth, due to the advantages ot better breeding. In this section the Concord grape still holds its place as superior to all others, and it is just as handy in this climate as any other variety. It was supposed to be more liable to rot than some kinds, but with good cultivation, careful pruning and judicious spraying the Concord has given as good results as any. It is well known to consum ers and is always in demand. Cut off all limbs of cherry and plum trees that are affected with black knot and be sure and burn them. If the disease has made considerable progress it means cutting away a large portion of the tree, but it is better to do so than to allow any opportunity for a re newal of the disease, as the tree will soon die if not attended to. After cut ting off the diseased portions spray each tree thoroughly. If there is a poor place on the farm do not neglect It as worthless, but en deavor to improve it. It is possible that such a piece ot land may require drainage, or should be limed, and some times a green crop plowed under may make an improvement. The poorest of soils can be improved. When the vegetables are stored away thi'q winter there will be less risk from cold than from warmth. It is better to have vegetables cold and remain 80 O Bean the Signature - rf - " . M .11 lti3 Kind m Haw ftiways cougni than to be subject to changeable tem peratures. While the cellar should be so arranged as to protect against seyere cold, yet it should . also be yen tilated with ventilators that will be jja-er control. The thawing of fruit pfftd vegetables does more damage than freezing. The land that produced potatoes this year may be in tested wth disease, and it will be proper To pls potatoes on some other location "nexs'year. It will be in order this fall to lime the potato plat, which will greatly aid in destroying the spores of fungi, and thus sist in lessening the liability of scab or some ether disease in the future. All potatoes taken from the land should be carefully examined before storing them for the winter, as any that are unsound will affect the whole. Wide tires are made light and strong and they serve admirably to pack the roads and prevent ruts. They are us ed mostly on low-down wagons, but can be made serviceable with high wheels. Low-down wagons increase the draught, and when the roads are very muddy, especially when affected by frosts in winter, the low wheel can not be used. If good roads are made, however, the low-down wagons will do more to keep the surface of the roads hard and smooth than the road roller, but if narrow wheels are used by some farmers the roads will be cut up. Low-d own wagons, however, are very handy for use on the farm. The lawn can be improved at this season either by raking it oyer until the soil is loosened and sowing seed on the bare places or by transplanting sod. If scd is used the spots on which the sod is placed should first be deeply spaded so as to break up the hard Boil below the surface. Lay the sod and trample it down well. If there is a vacant spot no larger than the hand place a piece of sod on it. By thus patching the lawn much time will be saved in the spring, as the fall-planted sod will grow out as early next year as that which was already on the lawn, and it will become thicker in the sum mer. Those who are giving small patches of celery their attention will find soap suds excellent. The prize-winner at one of the leading State fairs, whose celery was far superior to all others, and who was successful in winning ev ery year, for a long time kept his meth ods secret, but for a consideration he made known that in addition to the use of manure fertilizers, etc., as usual- lly practiced, he applied the soap-suds to celery on wash days. The same treatment is also excellent for aspara gus. The Care of Lamps. Southern Farm Magazine. Many housekeepers think there is nothing to learn about the care of lamps, but there are many email items in their management that make a great difference in the amount of light and comfort derived from them. When a lamp is first lighted, turn the flame low until the flue has become warm, and the flue will not be so likely to break. Another precaution in regard to lamp flues is to put them in a pan ful of cold water and heat the water slowly until it is boiling. Take the pan off and allow them to cool gradually. This toughens the glass so they do not break so easily. When you put a new wick in a lamp leave two or three inches extending above the burner, turn it upside doWn into the oil-until thoroughly saturated, then put the burner on the jamp and turn the wick down to the proper height. When a wick has burned awhile, if one part is a little higher than the other it will char first, and, when well charred, can be rubbed off, leaving it even on top. The burners should be cleaned once a week, and the best and easiest way is to boil them in water in which pearline has been dissolved. Put a heaping tea spoonful 'in a quart of water, put the burners in it and boil ten minutes. This removes all the gummy substance that collects in the tubes, causing them to give a better light and greatly less ening the danger of explosion. When they are taken from the water, polish with a piece of soft flannel. ' A lamp that has stood several hours with a little oil -in il 3hould be filled before it is lighted. The oil generates a gas when the bowl is almost empty, which may explode if the lamp is lighted without filling. To prevent the oil from oozing out on the burner, turn the wick low when it is not lighted.

"All bis days also he eateth in dark ness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness." Ecclesiastes. Somebody, in serching about for a bright thought, has said that the spirit of discontent is the greatest force in the world for good. Is it not this spirit which makes men strive after improve ment and work out new inventions? Is it not this which has kept the race of men from remaining at a standstill throughout the ages, and prevented the human brain from falling into a Chi nese lethargy ? If we are to regard discontent as hay ing so comprehensive a definition as this, it may be that it has been a force tor good ; but it ig well not to overlook the fact that the extension of the word's definition to include beneficial progress will render it necessary that it shall include harmful progress as well. What criminal ever committed a das tardly act unless he was impelled by this same discontent? Thethief usual ly steals because he is dissatisfied with what he has, and the assassin usually follows his bloody trade because he im agines that he has not been fairly treated. Any such interpretaton of discontent must make it responsible for nearly everything that can be couceived of in human life. This is not the idea that we have in mind in using the word our application of it is much more re stricted, and refers more particularly to that sort of unhappiness which' is en gendered by constant growling and brooding over the superior good fortune of other people. We mean the dissatis faction that partakes of the .nature of envy rather than the dissatisfaction which is concerned in the desire for progress. This feeling causes more useless trouble on earth, we venture to say, than any other which flesh is heir to. . ' It is perfectly proper for men and women to desire to improve their own condition and the condition of the world in general. When one is in such a,state of torpor that one would not stretch out a hand to better himself, he may be contented, but he is also wretchedly in dolent and foolish. It is not fair to ascribe the result of the combined in dolence and folly to the influence cf contentment. Everybody ought to do his best to make progress by honest means ; but and here's the rub a man ought not to worry and fume, when he is doing the best he can, be cause his neighbor outstrips him. There Is no reason why we should not enjoy our humble turnips and greens as much as our wealthy brethren and sisters enjoy their be-sauced and be seasoned pastries and puddings. In the make-up of a common cabbage there is as much toothsomeness a3 in many a more expensive article ot diet. Should we fret and pound our molars because cabbage, being cheap and plentiful, is regarded as too common place a dish to appear on the table of our friend who has had luck in the Klondike? Shall we crawl around and whine at the contemplation of Jones,' rapid advancement toward riches, pro testing that we are only too moderate ly comfortable in our income and yet work several times harder than he? Should not a glance be turned every now anl again in the direction ot un complaining Smith, who labors harder than we do and gets less remuneration for his toil? But it does very little good to reason with the discontented man unless you can catch him when he Is young and help him pick out a wife. Presidents' Eesolutions. Selected. Three of our early presidents, James Madison, Andrew. Jackson and John Quincy Adams, once signed the follow ing resolution : "Being satisfied from observation and experience, as well from medical testimony,, that ardent spirits and drink is hot only needless, but hurtful, and that the entire disuse of it would tend to promote the health, the virtue and the happiness of the community, wo hereby express our conviction that should the people of the United States, and especially the young mea, discountenance entirely the use of it, they not only promote their personal benefit, but the good of our country and-the world-" - You assume no risk when you buy Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Medical science has taken up the focd question so closely during recent years and gone to such trouble and ex pense to find out every deleterious qual ity in articles of eyery-day consump tion, that the man who studies hygiene attentively can only eat if he believes all he reads at the great risk of con tracting disease or poisoning: himself. Bread is not to be thought ot as an article of diet. It is a treacherous compound, consisting largely of alum and potatoes, and, concocted in somo insanity cellar, it is teeming with mi crobes and totally unfit for food. Xo careful man will tor.eh beef ow-car- ing to the number of tuberculous casses which are constantly being plac ed upon the market. Mutton and lamb are also to be tabooed on similar grounds, and no one would think of touching pork for fear the late lament ed piggy might have died of swine fc yer. ine vegetenan cnorties in nls joy and points out that none of these things, except bread, affects his style of dining. But his triumph is short lived. Root vegetables are to be dread ed because of wire-worm, tcrnatos in duce cancer, cabbages may become poi sonous by the application of Improper fertilizers, and, therefore, are best left alone, white in addition to the disease microbe which devotes its attention to the potato, there is always the risk of damaeeto the digestive orarans. Butter and niiik are poisoned with boracic acid and other noxious preserv atives, to say nothing of the artificial coloring matter which is frequently added. Eggs aro dangerous, beciuse so many of them are packed in lime to keep them good, and recently, too, a French bacillus has found his way in through the shell. In addition to other drawbacks, cheese helps to ruin digestion. Raw fruit helps along cholera to a great extent, ft also contains prus sic acid round the skm, pips and stone. When cooked it induces dysentery. Of tinned and potted stuif.3 little need be said, except that the solder of the tins makes for lead poisoning, and potted meats have recently been shown to be simply a mass of spice, rotten tilth and garbage. With beverages the same difficulties present themselves to the careful feed er. Beer, wines or spirits are not to be thought of. They affect the brain and eyes, and act injuriously upon the coating of the stomach. Tea and col fee may set up insanity, but at the least they are sure to induco dyspepsia. Water is full of disease germs, and, if distilled, becotno3 dangerous by rea son of it3 lack of mineral matter in so lution. Poultry, if fresh, appears to be the most wholesome sort of dish, as there is only a yagne, undecided sort of mi crobe to its account. Therefore, duck and green peas appear to be the dish to make a stand upon ; but let the pease be fresh, as the tinned sort arc poisonous, owing to a solution of sul phate of copper being employed to give them a fresh, bright color.

The vast re sources of the country have been drawn upon to some purpose in thus rapidly accumlating military stores on the Yi. cific coast, and it woulu be impossible now, or at any time in the future, to find the Federal army without proper and ample equipments.
