In case of fire, the occu pants of the 15th story would feel some what uncomfortable. A Bonham, Texas, dispatca says that Miss Bragg, sv niece of, Geo Bragg, at tempted suicide last Monday, by pour ing kerosene on her clothes and setting fire to them. She had been suffering from protracted ill health. She will die. We are informed that at the funeral of Gen Grant's mother at Spring Grove cemetery, Cincinnati, last Monday, the General "as the. coffin was lowered stood calmly, though not without a shade of sadness, but there were no tears nor outward manifestations of grief." Well, it is gratifying to know that Gen Grant conld not witness the burial of his mother "without a shade of sadness." That wild woman who sometime ago gytated along the South Carolina bor der has migrated and is now perform ing in Guilford county. According to the report of two Greensboro fishermen who encountered her, she "foams at the mouth, bites and gnaws sticks and the bark of trees like a wild animal," but when a shot gun is shown darts off like a streak of lubricated lightning. She evidently has no fancy for being shot. The conditions which are thought to favor the development of leprosy are heat and moisture. Hence, it is con sidered remarkable that the disease should exist in Norway, j Statistics re cently published show that at the end of 1975 there were . 2008 lepers re ported ia that country, but at the end of 1880 the number had fallen to 1482. The disease is said to be due to the con sumption of food in an unwholesome condition. 1 -: Baleigh News and Observer: it t.

There are now 126 districts, and these are to be reduced to 5. North ; Carolina will lose' two 'districts. - The Newborn dis trict is to be abolished, and another which we presume will ' be Everett's, since that has given the President no end of trouble of late. A Tyrannical Employer. Chicago, May 17. The executive committee of the cigar makers union yesterday afternoon heard the testimo ny of six young girls employed by one Ben helm on Kimsey street. It was shown that they work from 6 a m to 9 pmandon three nights of tho week till li p m. making bunches for cbzars. Most of them receive three dollars per week, and in order to make profit from this scanty pittance, be charges them cne cent per minute for lost time. When the health inspector visits the place the proprietor manages to secret such children as are under age. Other tyrannical practices are alleged and it is said the place is only a type of another in the city. . . , : . A S-i 9 9 SIV i iii "k Death of a Itotortons Character. '?

Business Is remarkably dull just at this season. The farmers are very busy upon their farms and hence there is but little trading; going onila. ruply to the question, "what is the news T your cor respondent receives the- answer "Oh, nothing, nothing. No one in town to day." This state of things is growing very monotonous, especially so far as your correspondent is concerned. But there is one redeeming feature in this matter, so far as the merchants are concerned. - The three tobacco) facto ries and the several budding ooolrac tors are paying out large sums of money to their laborers each week and this makes Saturday evening a perfect har vest to the merchants. Probably never in the history of Salisbury did her la borers and mechanics handle so much money as they are doing now. The continued dry weather is doing serious aamage to ine corn ana ept.os crops. The farmers cannot secure-Aiyv thing like a good atsnd, and the greand is so hard they cannot stir it. If it con tinues thus for many days, the gras will absolutely take many fields. The gardens are almost ruined, and the po tato crop will prove a failure if it does not rain in a few days. It is reported that Col J It McMurdo. the general freight and passenger agent of the W N C R H, contemplate re signing his position. We hope he will be Induced to remsin in the service of this road, whose business is growing so remarkably fast. He is universally acknowledged to be one of the best railroad men in the South, and this road can ill afford to lose Irs valuable assistance. Another Batch ot the Oaklin Conspira tors Sentenced. ' DtTBLTX. May 17. James Mullett. Edward O'Brien, Edward McCaffrey, Daniel Deianey, William Meroney and Thomas Doyle, all of whom pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to mur der, were arraigned in coo rt of sentence this morning. The first five were each sentenced to ten years penal servitude and Doyle to five years penal servitude. The crown decided to drop i the crimi nal charge again si McCaffrey of having participated in the murder of Burke. Judge O'Brien in passing sentesee upon James Mullett said: "There is more known concerning yon than has been made public, I believe yon were present during the attack on juror Field." Mul ,ett replied, -I was not." The Jadge then adverted to the principal part the prisoner bad: taken in organizing the conspiracy to murder. Matthias Brady, who was charged' with the foreman of the jury Which convicted bis brother Joe Brady, pleaded guilty to the charge but the crown and the person threat ened assented to bis discharge.' The trial of Peter Doyle on a charge of con spiracy to murder was postponed on account of his sickness. He was in court this morning but was so weak that he had to be supported ia the dock by the warden, j,. '" ' r Judge O'Brien after, sentencing- the men discharged the special jury panel which was summoned - to try the eases of men charred with the zPheeotx Park murders and other crimes. He took occasion to praise the manner in which the ard nous and painful labors of - the jurors bad been performed. The special business of the commission was con cluded to-day. Exporting Whiskey to Avoid the Tax. Washington, Msy 16-Collector ' of Customs Clay, of Newport News, Va reports to the Treasury Department that the export of bonded .whiskey from Newport News is increasing to such an extent that additional help is absolutely necessary. Five thousand barrels of whiskey are now at that port awaiting shipment, for whom F. O.

HA What ExSeaator Brace, lleclstrar of the" Treasary, Thinks of his Dreth rea. "''' - -Q" .jtv.f..ss : -: I bad a very interestinar conversation jwuiijniiu iub rxou, -r Sm., SJi UUD, registrar, of the treasury, who is ac Iknowledged to be one of the representa ' ti ve men - of the colored - race. Mr. 1 Bruce i was walking along F street, ieadiaeby the band a. very pretty little boy, with dark, wavy hair and an .olive 'complexion.' "He is on bis way, to the ki ndergarten," said the proud father. "You axe exemplifying your: jfaitb in .. - . I . w ... r . i. Ti : eduoatiun for the race by an early start for tbe. young man,-Mr liegistrar." suggested t your correspondent "Yes, it is the great need of our race now," he said-and J. wish: that the Powers that be could be brought to' realize it as keenly as many of our own people doj Do you know Lb at many of 4the colored people so thoroughly .realize the neces sity for educatiou that they are willing to deprive, themselves, of almost any thing else that this may oe had?" . . , in .tnet course oz: conversation Mr. Bruce said, referring to, the education of bis race in tbe South : "The Nation al Government ught to appropriate a sum of mon say 10,000.000 for school purposs therv m&king it available Jn ease tbe States de-a certain portion of the work.. They plead that they are not able to keep up public schools for negro, or, even, indeed, for the whites, saying that tbe war impoverished them to such an extent And that is doubt less true, for they lost greatly in other property in addition , to their slaves. But the colored people are good citizens as . a rule, - orderly and " diligent, and many of them are becoming property owners and tax payers, snd it is right that they .shall have educational - ad- vantagea, Their position as tax-pavers entitles them .to. it, and the power of tbe ballot which, they hold makes it the duty of the Government to itself as well as to them to make them intelli gent" "Are the colored people of the South coming land-owners then T .v - "Yes; many of them own their homes now. The progress in that direction has been slow and painful ; but they are upon a firm basis now, and will move forward more rapidly. The re port - of, tbe - comptroller-general of Georgia shows that one acre in fifty of the cultivated lands of that State is owned by colored people; and this, I think, is about a fair average of the situation throughout the South gener ally." - .-, -ir. . "Tbe colored people are accumulating considerable wealth, then, are they notr i . . "Yes; there are a good many quite wealthy men among the colored popula tion now. I don't know of more than one or two who could bo counted mil lionaires; but there are a good many who run np into tbe hundreds of thou- sanas. ana targe -numbers a no are worth, say 825,000. The colored man, as role, is great on real estate. Let bim get possession of a few feet of around a home and i be will never part with it if be can help it He will almost starve rather than do so; and that is a good spirit, I think. Make him a tax-payer and owner of the soil, and yon make him a good citizen. ... . ;. ; "From toe standpoint of morality, do yon think there is much to be said ?" I Yes, a good. deaL Tbe Methodist and Baptist Churches alone have nearly a milltoo-and a-balf of colored people, and the amount of church property way own is quite wonaenoi. - ids per- 1st centage or crime among mem large, and the marital relation to-day infinitely more sacred smone the col ored people as a class than it was a few years ago?" "Yes?" . ' "Yes. 'And now I have said a good deal about the colored man," said Bruce with a laugh, "but 1 just want to sdd one more statement which 1 think will settle th question as to our progress." -Welir .fc---f:-v . ' -Well, we nave tbe dude, tbe colored dude, fall fledged and as pronouced as tbe white race can produce." and his hearty laugh i rang out as he climbed the treasury steps, "we have the dude." r -n KesMrra Cawfcotic 8aJrv Tne best Sarve tn the world for Obts. braises, tetter. ebscDed bands. orriihiatna esraa. and all krnda of skin eruptions. ties uenry-s urrnous earvn, as au euusis are but lmitattoas.
