Mr. II. C. Davidson, of Mt.
Monroe, met with a painful
though not serious accident hist
Friday morning. lie was in the
act of mounting his mule and
was smoking. Just as he reached
the saddle the animal threw up
its. head, striking the pipe and
driving the stem nearly through
his jawbone. Statesville Land

county, was brought here yes

county jail, as a United States
prisoner. He is el'arged with
illicit distilling and selling
whiskey without a license. The
warrant for his arrest and
commitment was issued by D.
Cogdell, U. S. Commissioner at
Goldsboro. liass says that he
was betrayed by a man who
visited his still and to whom he
gave a jug of whiskey. Wil.

Another Cotton mill, making
the fifteenth for that county, is
soon to be erected at Big Falls,
Alamance county. The purcher,
who will reconstruct the mill
that has been in a dilapidated
condition for some years, is Mr.
J. V. Pomeroy, well known as a
former resident of Greensboro,
but now of Charlotte. The new
company, consisting of Mr. Pom
eroy and Messrs P. R. and J. II.
Hardin, of Graham, Avill push
forward the work with vigor,
having already begun in earnest.
Raleigh JVezcs-Obserrer: From
a letter" dated July ISth, to a
gentlemen in this city, we learn,
that Governor Jarvis has been
seriously ill at his distant post
of duty. For a week he was crit
ically ill. He was a great deal
better however, when the letter
was written was sitting' up
again. He says he met witli the
greatest kindness and attention
in his illness at the hands of' the
people among whom his lot is
cast. The news of his recovery
will be heard with great pleasure
throughout the State.
The Pittsboro Record says.
There .will also be t wo cases on
the State docket against- two
Magistrates of this county, 'they
having been bound over to court
after a preliminary hearing last
Thursday, upon the charge of
practicing law as attorneys." The
Legislature of 1870-'71 made it
unlawful for a Magistrate to
practice law as an attorney, and
these are the first cases under
that law that we have heard of
it the State. The punishment
is a fine of not less than 200,
and at discretion of the Judge,
removal from office.

Three of the uproarious riot
ers of the Norfolk excursion
were tried before Mayor Scott on
Tuesday morning after their ar
rest on Monday evening and a so
bering experience in jail on Mon
day night. Edward Foreman and
J. F. Hall were convicted of the
riot and placed under a bail of
500 each for their appearance at
the Superior Court in September,
in default of which they were
sent to jail. Geo. Reed was con
victed of selling liquor without
license and admitted to bail in
150. Foreman is defended by
Messrs. Lamb & Riddle.
. A flrave Girl.
(Warrenton Gazette.)
Our friend and neighbor Mr.
W. G. Plummer escaped a horri
ble death the other day by the
presence of mind and bravery of
his fifteen-year-old daughter,
Miss Sue. She was milking one
of the cows and her father was
standing by her. In the pen was
a fine three -year old Jersey bull.
Before he was aware of what had
happened the bull had knocked
Mr. Pullman down from behind
and when Miss Sue saw him, the
enraged animal Avas standing
over her father with one of his
horns on his throat, prepared to
goad him. Without a" moments
hesitation she s ized him by the
horns, and with supernatural
strength, managed to pull the
animal's head a little to one side,
when Mr. Plummer seized him
by the nose. With nose and
horn holt they managed to stop
him until his son Walter, (who
was in an adjoining lot,) ran
and beat him o!f with a stick.
It was a narrow escape and Miss
Sue is a heroine. Mr. Plummer
was badly bruised.
One Cent Postage.
(Albany Express.)
A peculiar plan, by which a
potion of the government's sur
plus money may be used, is pro
posed in the suggestion that let
ter postage should be reduced to
onne cent. The postal depart
ment of the government has
never produced a surplus of reve
nue, and has never been run
for such a purpose. The policy
has been to reduce postage as
soon as the revenue began to ap
proximate expenditures. The pol
icy proposed of one cent postage
would be the most extreme yet
pursued by the Post Office De
partment. The part which cheap
postage has played in the devel
opment of the past twenty-five
years is not generally realized.
There can be no harm in contin
uing in the same direction still
further. One of the chief ad
vantages to be derived . from a
change to one cent postage would
be to largely do away with pos
tal cards. The extent to which
these are used tX present shows
that one cent postage would be
appreciated.
A Safe Guard Against Insects.
( Londc n Lancet.)
Many people do not know how
easily they can protect them
selves and their children against
the bites of gnats and other in
sects. Weak carbolic" acid spong
ed on the skin and hair, and in
some cases the clothing, will
drive away the whole tribe. A.
great many children and not a
few adul ts are tormented through
out the whole summer by min
ute enemies. We know persons
who are afraid of picnics and
even their own gardens on this
account. Clothing is an imper
fect protection, for we have seen
a child whose foot and ankle had
been stung through the stocking
so seriously that for days she
could not wear a leather shoe.
All this can be averted according
j to our experience, and that, we
believe, of many others, by car-
j bolic acid judiciously used. The
.safest plan is to keep a saturated
solution of the acid. The solu
tion cannot contain more than
(i or 7 per cent., and it may be
added to water until the latter
smells strong. This may readily
and with perfect safety, be ap
plied with a sponge. We have
no doubt that horses and cattle
could be protected in the same
way from the lies, which some-
' times nearly madden them, and
it even seems possible that terri
ble scourage, the African tsetse
I fly, might be kept off in the
same manner

Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no mere our tears shall know.
Dearest sister, thou hist left us.
Here thy loss we deeply teel,
But 'tis God that hath bereft u,
He can all our sorrows heal.

When the cares of life have fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
She loved her Savior and to him
Her costliest present brought,
To crown His head or grace His name, .
No gift too rare she thought.
She had two little hands to work for Jesus,
Ore little tongue His praise to tell.
Two little ears to hear His counsel,
One little voice a song to swell.
She had two little feet to tread the path
way. Up to the heavenly courts above,
Telling of Jesus wonuerous love,
lint now she is with Christ above.
She had one little heart to give to Jesus,
One little soul for Him to wivo,
One little life for His dear service.
One little self that he did take topl.Yce

So farewell, dear little sister.

And see your smiling tacc once more,
Aud hear year voice that sounds so

Then take you by that little hand,
Again as in days gone by,
There forever and forcer.
May we all abide.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love has given,
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
Farewell dear, but not lorevcr,
There will be a glorious dawn,

Utes on tUe Warpath.
Denver, Col., Aug. 12. The
White River Utes are reported
to have gone on the warpath
again, under the lead of Colorow,
and to be slaughtering citizens.
The Mayor of Meeker, together
with the county Commissioner
and the secretary of the Stock
Grower's Association at that
place telegraphed Govenor Adams
to-day from Greenwood Springs
that the Utes have been firing
on the citizens above Meeker,
and have sent runners to Min
tah agency to call out the war
party.
The citizens are flocking into
Meeker from the ranches. An
appeal is made for troops and for
arms and ammunition. Gover
nor Adams at once telegraphed
to Washington, asking what the
War Department could do. He
also replied to the Mayor of
Greenwood Springs asking to be
kept informed of events at Meek

The W. H. Upham who is at
the head of the Upham Manu
facturing Company, which lost
8800J000 by the great fire at
Mansfield, Wris., was the hero of
a singular adventure when a
young man. He was a member
of a Wisconsin regiment which
participated in the first battle of
Bull Run, and was- thought to
have been killed. His comrades
saw him fall, and none of thein
made any doubt of his death.
Being the first victim of the strife
in his own neighborhood, there
was great public mourning for
him. A memorial service was
was held in which thousands par
ticipated, and many eloquent eulogies-were
passed upon him.
Six months later Upham ap
peared in Washington with a
party of exchanged prisoners.
He had been desperately wound
ed and taken prisoner, but the
Confederates had attended to his
wants, and when the exchange
took place he was sent home.
When in Washington he was ta
ken to the "White House by Judge
Doolittle, then a Senator, and
introduced to President Lincoln
as a soldier who had come back
from the grave. As Upham was
on all the records as dead, Mr.
Lincoln, ordered a correct entry
to be made, and then gave the
boy an honorable discharge from
the service. When he reached
his home in Rachine he was the
lion of the hour, and the people
who had participated in the me
morial meeting in his honor got
up a jubilee which wa3 hardly,
less numerously attended. Later
on in the struggle the fortunes
j of individuals were not so cloely
watched.
CAROLINA, HEAVEN'S BLESSINGS
SMITHFIELD, N, C, AUGUST
THE Th S. S. RIDDLEBERGER.
Put on The . Dry Dock by a Judge,
But Taken Out by a Mob.-Ex-
citing Times in Virginia.
A Woodstock (Va.) special to
the New York World of the 13 th,
says : Senator Riddleberger got
himself into a pretty scrape here
to-day, and is spending the night
amid the squalid discomforts of
a county jail as a consequence of
his folly. The Senator was in
terested in a case on trial in the
County Court which had some
local political significance. Judge
Newmanwho tried the case, was
no friend of Senator Riddleber
ger. In fact, some of the papers
hereabouts have often referred
to the two men as "bitter per
sonal enemies." No one was
surprised, therefore, when the
verdict in the case on trial was
exactly the reverse of what Rid
dleberger desired it should be.
But everybody was very much
surprised, and, moreover, very
much excited at the spirit in
which the Senator took the ver
dict, and his peculiar manner of
claling public, attention to his
anger. At Riddleberger's sug
gestion the prisoner in the case
was hauled through the streets
of the town with a placard arond
his neck containing some pretty
severe and caustic reflections on
the judge. Troops of people fol
lowed the prisoner on the travels,
most of thejn highly amused at
the curious turn an old personal
quarrel had taken, but many of
them very indignant at the as
persion put upon the judge. Fi
nally one of the judge's friends
went to tell him what was going
on.
Ten minutes afterwards police
men were running around look
ing for Senator Riddleberger. He
was found and summoned before
his old enemy, the justice, to an
swer for contempt of court. There
was a tumult in the streets around
the court-house, and excited peo
ple clamored at the doors for
admission. After he had given
Mr. Riddleberger an opportuni
ty to make an explanation, which
did not appear to be satisfactory,
the judge fined the Senator $25
and committed him to jail for
five days. Protests and further
attempts at explanation were in
vain. Judge Newman left the
bench in anger, and Riddleber
ger was hurried off to a cell. The
excitement was tremendous as
the news spread around town,
and partisanship ran rampant.
Riddleberger's friends swore that
they would get him out before
midnight if they had to burn the
jail to do it. Upon hearing their
threats, Judge Newman's friends
vowed they would defend the
jail by force if necessary, and
many of them volunteered their
services to the sheriff. All Rid
dleberger's influence availed him
nothing in his efforts for release.
As darkness setted down on
the town the Senator was making
a fair meal off prison rations
and preparing to make himself
comfortable for the night. He
was very anxiotfs that his friends
should not step beyond bounds
of the law in manifesting their
sympathy for him, and there
seems little prospect at this hour
(11 p. m. ) that threats of
rescue will be carried out. But
it is impossible to tell. There
are plenty of people on the
streets spoiling for a row, and
they would like to improve this
opportunity for making one.
LATER THE SENATOR RELEASED.
Winchester, Va., August 13.
A telephone message from Wood
stock, Va., says that United
States Senator Riddleberger, who
was yesterday sentenced by Judge
Newman of the County Court, to
pay a fine of $25 and be impris
oned for five days for contempt
of court, was released from jail
last night by a mob. The jailer
made but slight resistence.
Slow to Iteducc the Surplus.
( Philadelphia Record.
The net surplus in the Treasury
on Aug. 1 was $45,698,594. Since
there is no portion of the public
debt to which the surplus may
be applied its . volume must
rapidly increase before the close
of the current fiscal year uuless
Congress shall make provision
for its abatement. The legit
imate and practical means of
reducing surplus revenues are to
be found in lessening surplus tax
ation upon raw materials of in
dustry and necessities of living.
ATTEND HEE.'
27, 1887.
The Anti-Tax War in Kentucky.
Chicago, Aug. 13. The limes,
of Lexington, Ky., says :
A letter from Morehead gives
the following particulars about
the seizure of guns yesterday.
The insecurity and uneasiness
which have been felt since the
departure of Andy and Willy
Tolliver and their friends receiv
ed a fresh impetus yesterday af
ternoon, when Adjutant Wil
liams with a squad of men, filed
into the depot and seized a case
of rifles and 2,000 rounds of am
munition that had just been ta
ken off -the--train and hurried
them into camp. These are the
same guns that were shipped to
Z. T. Young, Mt. Sterling, from
Lexington some weeks ago.
Major McKee, fearing a collis
ion between the factions, imme
diatly sent out half-a-dozcn
squads of men, searching suspec
ted houses for arms, and must
have captured several wagon
loads. In one house alone they
secured ten Winchester rifles,
three shot-guns, two muskets
and several muzzle-loading rifles.
The raid created quite a stir in
the town, and it is the general
belief that if Maj. I. Wr. Lee had
not taken decisive steps, a fight
would have taken place.
Xo Need of Catching Colds.
(The American Magazine.)
Speaking of colds, I have a
theory that no one need have
unless he chooses ; in other words,
that it is quite possible so to
train the skin, that wonderful
organ which is generally looked
upon as the paper wrapper to
our human bundle, as to render
it non-susceptible to sudden
changes of temperature or at
mospheric moisture, whence colds
come.
And as this is exactly the sea
son to commence such a system
of pellar education, as it has
proved effective in many instan
ces within my knowledge, and as
it is within easy reach of every
one to try, I write it here. The
theory is that no skin that has
been exposed freely for half an
hour at the beginning of a day
to a temperature lower than it
will encounter during the day,
will note small changes or be af
fected thereby.
A cold is simply a nervous
shock, received by the myriads
of minute nerve terminals that
bristle over the surface . of the
human body, transmitted to the
centers and so back again to mu
cous membrane, the peculiar seat
of this special irritation. Let
us then so train these sensitive
fibres that they will pass by, un
noticed, changes of atmospheric
condition, and the matter is ac
complished. The Chatsworth Horror.
(Richmond Whig.)
The damages on account of the
accident will be little short of
$1 ,000,000. Probably eighty per
sons will die, and 5,000 is the
limit that can be collected for a
dead person. This one item will
figure up 400,000. The serious
ly wounded may collect $10,000
or $15,000 each, and add to this
the loss of business and the dam
age to property and the disaster
will cost the company a round
sum.
A dispatch from Kentland, In
diana, says that the men arrested
there Saturday were charged with
carrying concealed weapons, and
not with burning the bridge
through which the Niagara ex
cursion went, east of Chatsworth,
Illinois, on the line of the Tole
do, Peoria and Western Railroad,
on the 10th inst.
Superintendent Armstrong, of
Peoria and Western Road, who
was on the ill-fated excursion
train at the time of the accident,
testified, in his own opinion, the
bridge caught fire from passing
freight trains which passed up
several hours ahead. He scout
ed the idea of incendiaries.
Eloped With a. Xcgro.
Miss Jennie Winter, the pret
ty sixteen year old daughter of
farmer Winter, of Oakland, N.
Y., eloped a few days ago with
a negro named Edward Mann, to
whom she was united in marri
age by the Rev. R. P. Mansfield,
an Episcopal clergyman. D is
said the girl stained her face and
hid her blond hair so as to pass
for a mulatto, and thus deceive
the clergyman about her race.

NUMBER 12.
Our Confederate Dead.
(Richmond Dispatch.)
North Carolina is moving in
regard to erecting a monument
to the memory of her 40,000 Con
federate dead. "The papers have
taken hold of the matter with
great earnestness, and their edi
torial advocacy of it being sup
plemented by strong letters from
other citizens. One gentleman
offers to contribute $1,000 to the
monument if it be erected at
Raleigh, or $2,500 if it shall be
placed at Durham. The move
ment is one that every true man
should rejoice to see take practi
cal shape. No State made a
more glorious record in the late
war than North Carolina. Her
name appears in imperishable
letters in the story of everv bat
tle from Bethel to Appomattox.
And the monument should be of
a design and character that would
typify especially what was known
as the staying qualities of North
Carolinians. While the North
Carolina soldiers were in all oth
er things the peers of any South
ern soldiers, some of the com
mands from the Old North State
gained for her a distinctive repu
tation for bulldog tenactity in
holding a position. Only a few
nights ago we heard a Virginian
who was on A. P. Hill's staff du
ring the war, and who is a man
of careful and most intelligent
observation, and not given to
idle words, speak in glowing
terms of the valor of the North
Carolina troops and comment
particularly on the North Caro
lina "grip." Referring especially
to the brigades of Cook, Scales,
Lane, and McRae, he remarked
that you could place either of the
three in a position and go away
with absolute confidence that it
would stay there so long as there
was a man left
How to Save ISoya.
Women who have sons to rear,
and dread the demoralizing in
fluences of bad associates, ought
to understand the nature of
young manhood. It is excessive
ly restless. It is disturbed by
vague ambitious, by thirst for
action, by longings for excite
ment, by irrepressible desires to
touch life in manifold ways. If
you, mothers, rear your sons so
that their homes are associated
with the repression of natural
instincts, you will be sure to
throw them in the society that
in some measure can supply the
need of the hearts. They will
not go to. the public houses at
first for love of liquor very few
people like the taste of liquor ;
they go for the animated and hil
arious companionship they find
there which they discover does
so much to repress the disturbing
restlessness in their breasts. See
to it, that their homes compete
with public places in attractive
ness. Open your blinds by day
and light bright fires at night.
Illuminate your rooms. Hang
pictures upon the wall. Put
books and newspapers upon your
tables. Have music and enter
taining games. Banish demons
of dullness and apathy that have
so long ruled in your household,
and bring in mirth and good
cheer. Invent occupations for
your sons. Stimulate ambitions
in worthy directions. While you
make home their delight, fill
them with higher purposes than
mere pleasure. Whether they
shall pass boyhood and enter
upon manhood with refined tastes
and noble, ambitions depends on
you. Believe it possible that,
with exertion and right means,
a mother may have more control
over the destiny of her boys than
any other influence whatever.

Parental Authority.
There is one thing I wish to
speak of, and that is in regard to
interfearing between a parent's
authority and the child. How
often have I seen a child crying
for something the mother saw
best to deny it, when some one
present would say, "Oh, do let
the child . have it," and the
mother would yield rather than
offend the friend. The next
time the company came the child
I was ready to try the same experi
! ment, and soon it understood that
j when company was present it
could do as it pleased, ana ine
same visitors that helped break
the mother's authority will say
they do not like to go there, for
the children behave so badly.
