There is n relation - that caa exist in business life that : give I1M IAT JUVIV IUVUS t WO IIUUB V A T J . than of principal and surety. The dan - ger Is that something Biay.be done by -. the tnditrT thai will rrlnuv tho Mnrvtv The rule of law Is that if the creditor, "without the., consent of the surety, makes any contract with the principal . debtor whereby the -contract already in . existence Is altered, this discharges the surety, absolutely. A familiar example ;' of the operation of this rule is found where the creditor make, without: the ; consent of the surety, a valid and bind, .-ing agreement with the principal debt or on a note to extend the-dav of mv. ment 01 trie note, xnis agreement will -.release the surety from all liability on the note. It may be said then that the i only safe course for a business man toj odt. ui transactions wnera a. surety , Concerned, is to : make no contract f 1 the principal debtor, without the a. nt of the surety. iir-wnicn a creditor may release a sure ty, and find himself without any se- cunqr at au, may ne found In the re cent ease of Smith vs. Old .Dominion Building & Loan Association, decided by our Supreme Court at last term, and reported In 28 S. E. 40. In that case the plaintiff Smith borrowed' $2,300 from the association, and as security for the pay. ment of the same, he and his wife Joined in the execution of a mortgage - upon land belonging to the wife. Thus the wife's land stood in the relation of a, surety for the payment of the debt to the association. After Smith had made sundry payments on the debt, a con troversy arose over the amount due. and he offered to pay a certain sum in full satisfaction of the debt, though he did not actually tender a dollar In money. The association declined to ac cept the amount he offered to osvv. a.1 though it was subsequently determined that the amount offered s was fully enough to pay the balance due. It was found as a fact that Smith- had the money in the bank out of which he was ready to comply with his offer. He did not repeat the offer, or as the lawyers put it ne aia not "Keep the tender open. Now upon this state of facts our Su preme Court held that by the mere act of offering to pay a sufficient amount to cancel the debt, and the refusal of the association to accept the "offer, the wife's land was released from the mortgage and the association was left without any surety whatever for the aeot.. i ne court says that a positive ana unconaiuonai refusal to ac. cept an oner to pay money, relieves me party onenng to pay of the. neces any, ui lenaenng me actual money. provided he was at the time able to comply with his offer; and that where a creditor refuses to accept from the f '"Li pa. j aeDior a sum sumclent to pay the debt, this is tantamount to rtnH ing the time of payment without the consent of the surety, and releases the surety. t So it may be said that o-hrovtt- husband and wife e-ive a mrtco land which is the separate property of secure tne aeDt or the hus band, and the creditor extends the time of payment' without the consent of the wu, mis aiscnarges the wife's land rrom the mortgage, and the mortgage is of no value. For example: Suppose iu iumisn rs nis supplies for u as security takes a mort gage from B and wife on the land which belongs to the wife. In the fall of the year the merchant makes an agreement to extend the time of the payment until the next fall, or as is commonly said to carry the debt over iiiumer year, and this is done with. out the consent of the wife, such an agreement would operate to discharge the wife's land, and the debt could not " miiwieo oy tne sale of the wife land under the mortgage. BAiVK VS. SUMNER. It will H served that we have stated above that in order to release the surety, there must be a valid and binding agreement io tii;r.2 tne time or payment Jn tb' recent case of Bank vs. Sumner 26 S E.

If the payee or holder of the obligation should fail or refuse within thirty days from the service of w.tr nam notice to oring suit in the ap propriate court for the collection of the debt, then such failure will discharge the surety from all liability whatever upon thejbligation. And whenever the principarand surety are sued in -jv action by the holder of the note. It is the privilege of the surety to have it set forth in the Judgment that he Is surety and not principal.

He does not advise' tearing up the Anglo-American arbitration treaty. He hurls no defiance it Bloody Spain. He binds himself, over to keep the peace.

He also gives us promise of governmental financial stability. The gold standard Is to be maintained. That is the best thing, and next to it. the currency laws are to be so amended as to ban ish forever the dreadful spectre of fiat money. There is to be a non-partisan monetary commission, which will for mulate currency laws acceptable to the business world.

Yes, in the main, tho Inaugural will please New York. WAGE-EARNERS AS BANK DE POSITORS. But why should New Yorkers ever bother themselves about prosperity! How can they have the "face'' to grumble over hard times? Imagine n State whose inhabitants number six millions, and yet in which every man, without one exception, has flvi hun dred dollars in bank. Would you not call that prosperity such as visionaries dream of but the world never saw' Yet such is the State of New York ac cording to the last annual report of the State Superintendent of Banking. Men, women and children, there are 6.513.344 in New York. In the savings banks there are 1,787,968 depositors. The number of men in the State hard ly exceeds that figure. In the savings banks are deposited J718,17S,G8.Not far from five hundred tlme3 as many dollars as depositors. "Accordingto the best Information in my possession," says the State Superintendent of Banking, "the far larger portion of the depositors are wage-earners." As tounding prosperity! Stupendous af fluence! Both, whether the depositors are men or women. Away with all charity organizations and all alms houses! Down with everybody who says that wealth is being concentrated tn the bands or the rew: Tnere is no poverty or want in the State of New York. Look at the money in the sav ings baTiks ?id the number of deposi tors! THE RAINY DAY CLUB An item of news is that at a recent meeting of the Rainy Day Club eight women out of fifty wore the dress which the club says all women ought to wear in bad weather, and whose principal features are a short skirt (not less than five nor more than six inches from the ground), very high shoes or "boots," and a derby hat. It is a hard dress to wear in the strets, for it ex cites great attention and rather uncdm plimentary remark. But it is not long since only two women of the Rainy Day Club would wear it, and now the number is eight. It is the object of the club to get all women to wear this cos tume. The club considers it in the light of emancipation from unhygeni dress, "and that," as remarked at the recent meeting, "is not a less impor tant work than the abolition of slav ery." How many, many things there have been since the emancipation of slavery that were of equal importance to it! Of couse these eight short-skirt ed females don't make any show at all in New York's 2,000.000 population. They are rare curiosities, and few, in deed, have ever beheld them. To catch one of them you must have a rainy day and must know something of her haunts. However, to see one is worth taking some trouble. Maybe our great grandchildren will see a good many THE EXCLUSION MOVEMENT SPREADING. It is pleasant to record that steps are being taken by various public libraries and reading rooms here and in this vi clnity to exclude the World and the Journal from their list of newspapers. The reason given is that they are too dirty for decent people to read, besides being full of lies and exaggerated rec rdB-Of crime. Mr. Hearst having suc ceeded in making his paper more vi clous than Mr. Pulitzer's, the Journal is not taken by some libraries which take the World. At the Young Men's institute in tne Bowery the Journal has not been taken for some months. though the World is taken. The Jour nal has never been on file In any of the reading rooms or the New York Free Circulating Library, nor does the Astor Library receive the latter paper. The Brooklyn T. M. C. A. library does not have either the World or the Journal In its reading room. "Might as well have the Police Gazette." say the young men. Tne Long island Historical So ciety does not take the Journal. Sor ry to say the T. M. C. A. library on Twenty-third street, in this city, takes both of these ; "freaks." However, the librarian is going to recommend at once that the Journal be dropped from the list of papers, and no doubt the World will soon be dropped, too, unless It gets cleaner. Most of the libraries have mentioned are considering the advisability of excluding the World as well as the Journal.- If they do. it will be a clear gain for public morality. CIGARETTES .AND BAD PAPERS. But, alas, as X have stated in a form er letter, the immense circulation of these vile sheets is due largely to the fact that they are purchased by mere enuoren, ooys or ana under. As the cigarette saps the physical health, so they" undermine and rum the moral character of youth. However, perhaps by excluding; them from all public li braries and all gentlemen's clubs, a decent respect for the opinion of man kind' will prevent grown people from reading themJ That would 'ruin their value as advertising . mediums, and at last kill them, no doubt. -it is a consummation devoutly to be wished."

" The Observer has received Irom W. Twelve trees, a pamphlet entitled "Gov ernment of-the Presbyterian Church. It -contains - a paper read-'before - the Presbyterian Union, of Troy, - H; TV t the Green Island Presbyterian Church, by Elder Frederick P. Allen- Under the head ef "Presbytery and Love of Lib erty," he says: - . . - t- The Scotch-Irish of Mecklenburg county, in western North Carolina, took a still holder position. They assembled in convention on May 20th, 1775 only a month -after- the battle of Lexington and unanimously passed the following resolution : 'That we do hereby ; declare ourselves a free and independent peo ple, under control of to. power : other than that of our God and the general government of Congress; to the main tenance of which we solemnly pledge to each other our mutual co-ope ration and our lives, our fortunes and oar most sacred honor," --Thla was more than a year before the assembling of the Con tlnental Congress in 1776, when , the venerable John Witherspoon, the only clergy man In the body, gave the Pres byterian voice for the Declaration of Independence mm follows: ""That noble instrument upon your table, which en sures Immortality to Its author, should be subscribed, this venr; morning -.by every pen in this house.' He that will not respond to its accents and strain every nerve to carry into effect its pro visions, is unworthy the name or tree man. For my own part, of property : have some, of reputation more. That reputation is staked, that property pledged on the issue of this contest and although these gray hairs must soon descend into the sepulchre. I would in finitely rather that they descend thither by the hand of the executioner than de- sert at this crisis the sacred cause of my country." The Presbyterian Church suffered se verely by the war of independence. Its ministers and elders went into the struggle for constitutional liberty with all their strength. The leading minis tersjtook an active part in the contest, and many of them acted as chaplains of the different brigades. Very many of the general officers were ruling elders in the Presbyterian churches, , The sac rifices were great, but the reward was vastly greater, for the spirit of the con flict animated American Presbyterian ism with new vigor, so that it became pre-eminently the church of constltu tional government and orderly liberty, The ecclesiastical policy of the Presby terian Churches Influenced the govern ment of the State, and the government of the American Presbyterian Churches was in no slight degree assimilated to the civic government of the country. The recognition of the independence of fhe American colonies was followed by an internal political contest as to the form of government which the colonies should assume. The choice was to be made between a confederation of in dependent States, and a constitutional republic These discussions as to the civic government of the American col onies were influenced in no small "meas ure by the ecclesiastical government with which Its citizens were most fa miliar. The choice between a confed eracy and a republic was very much the same as a choice between Congre gatlonalism and Presbyterianism: fot Congregationalism is a confederacy of independent churches, but Presbyte. rianlsm is an organized representative and constitutional government. There is no reason to doubt that Presbyte rianism Influenced the framers of th constitution In their efforts to erect national organism a constitutional re public." Thus we see that in our beloved land Presbyterianism and patriotism have ever gone hand in hand, and if we love our country we must love our church for their form of government is the same. EVICTED CORPSES. Ia Mexico the Dead Have but Temporary Resting Places. Mexican cemeteries and burial .'us toms are verydifterent from those in other parts of the world. The little city of Guanajuata exhibits these peculiar! ties to a marked extent. There the dead man is entitled to but temporary repose in the public . cemetery. Hi body can rest In peace for five years after which term, unless his family hire the ground for an additional period, is evicted for non-payment of rent. The Guanajunto cemetery is filled with cat acombs, built with extremely thick walls. Each holds a single body, and after the tomb is closed the door Is her- metically sealed with a Btone. Access to the catacombs Is allowed from morn ing until nigntraii, and the dead re ceive frequent visits from their friends At the end of fiv years the corpse must give up the resting place unless tne ramlly pay the municipality J25 ren for anew term of repose. A peculiarity or the Guanajunto atmosphere pre vents decay, and rapidly transforms the corpses in these temporary tombs into mummies. The bodies of the evict ed dead, each bearing a tablet inscrib ed jwith the corpse s name, are lean ed in long rows against the inside of the cemetery walls, and there they stay for years before crumbling into dust. "SILVER BEACH.'1 A Maryland Strand Where People Pick Up Money. One of the diversions at Ocean City says the Baltimore Sun, is hunting for Spanish coins on the Silver Beach. Years ago a vessel with a great quan tity of Spanish silver coin went down off this beach, and during the last 2i or 30 years a great many have been picked up in the sand. An old colored woman used to live near the place, and it is said that she found nearly enough of them to support her. One of the men in the life-saving station. has found in the last eight nears coins to the amount of tod, and many other- persons have round them in considerable numbers. Only a few dollar coins have been found, the rest being smaller ones, mainly quarters and halves. Lately very few have been discovered, and the finding of one by Mr. Samuel Maddox recently excited considerable interest. When found the. eoins are very black and tney are less than half their orig inal thickness. And yet the inscrip tions and devices upon them are as dear and bold as ever.. This ts because tne sand or corrosion, whichever it is, wears it oown equaiisail over the sur. face. IndJaas la Every State. The Rev. George H.'

These people were not unseasonable pleasure-seekers, but rw ere. voyagers from Wilmington to that sandy city by the sea, which once bore the Strang, enigmatical name of Smith ville, and thence- to lands beyond the waves The Pt- consisted of a stalwart, hand some Norwegian captain and his1 pret ty Norwegian brides destined -t share with him for the first time the ups and downs-ir-distresslngly lively : sometimes of a sailor's life;' a Jovial little barrel shaped German, o-looked the-very personification of the adage, "laugh and grow fat; last, but not least, sev eral rosy-cheeked; damsels of - asjrted nationalities, the daughters of various captains, whose ships lay at Soutt pert.:r;These taresses," judging irvtk the multiplicity f their parcels, had been indulging; Inisthe femlnln dissipa tion of "shopping." : and were: return ing to their vagrant homes; Besides the cabin passengers, there was sv lit tle knot of decaf passengers gathered together "forrardif These were for the most part truant "Jacks," -who had run the risk of incurring their -captain's ire and certain punishment for the sake of a parting glass of grog in the com pany -of some seductive syren with an unlimited capacity for tarry lovers. These daringly amorous mariners were under the" convoy ; of their respective "old men," and were consequently a de pressed looking party. In about three hours after leaving Wilmington the former Ville deSmith hove in sight As we steamed between the numerous vessels lying atRanchor, there was a Itisty hailing of ships by the pas sengers of the fMinnehaha," and a simultaneous dipping of flags aboard the crafts, whose commanders, - or comrriandresses were among ournum ber. "Eco ahoy," "Polandra ahoy," "Rialto ahoy," rent the air, and by the time we reached the wharf a lively race was ensuing between the gigs of the different ships, trying which should first reach us. After a good deal of gutteral blasphemy by the boat's crew, called forth by the specific gravity and general unmanageableness of my Sara toga, we pulled off, and in ten minutes were alongside the great black hull of the Rialto. This vessel had been, and was destined again to be my home, my prison, and, quien sabe? my funeral pyre or sepulchre; for, as Bill Arp says of womankind, With a knowledge born of experience, chips are "variegated and peculiar" mr their actions. On deck my hand was ('grasped in the cordial but excrutiatingiy vigorous welcome of Mein Herr Styrmand Jorgensen, and his hearty "veikommen on bard" as sured me that I was at home again. All the morning we worked hard endeav oring to get the remainder of our stores aboard before ebb tide. In the afternoon a strong sou'wester effec tually terminated our chances of de parture for that day, so in lieu of something better, we went visiting. May I tell you bow the afternoon was spent with the descendants of "Vik ings bold and f Norsemen brave?" A short pull in the neat little gig, which flew swiftly over the wave crests, urg ed by the lusty strokes of four sturdy bluejackets, brought us to the Norwe gian barque "Echo," bound, like the "Rialto," for Trieste. We were cordial ly received by Captain Hansen and his bride, both of Whom we prevailed upon to accompany Us oh our acquatic round of visits. Thet breeze had freshened, and the angry; foam-crested waves were beginning to roll threateningly across the bar,' and disturb the placid waters within. JiThe little boat, laden to the gunwales -With human freight, be gan to indulge in some startling antics; now dancing upon the milky crest, now making an exploring dive into the dark trough of the 'waves in a manner far from reassuring to nervous constitu tions. She suddenly capped the climax of her bad behavior by presenting her broadside to a great green sea, which promptly tumbled in boards, thereby dampening ther ardor and attire of the occupants. Fortunately the boisterous neptunal salutation was made when we were near our destination. A few min utes later, the whole party was snugly ensconced in the warm, cosy cabin of the "Tros," whose hospitable com mander quickly set about rummaging his marine wardrobe in . quest of dry attire for his bedraggled guests. Un fortunately, however, the mystery of feminine drapery was one which good Captain B. had never solved, and when his eye fell upon the dripping bride his eountenance lengthened visibly. But as his bold spirit had never quailed under the domination of female rule, surely it would not be daunted by the absence of Feminine apparel. The young Frau, after much , persuasion, disappeared into an inner; state room, whence she shortly emerged, clad In vivid blushes and a hybrid attire which seemingly added more to her confusion than to her comfort. B After the well-being of the outer man had been secured, a di minutive, tow-headed cabin boy made his appearance and disgorged in a string of gutterals the remark: "Ver- saagod, fruen g herren. teen er fardig" "If you please, ladies and gentlemen, tea is served.?" Adjourning to the din ing saloon, we seated ourselves before a typical Scandinavian repast, black bread, white bread, Norwegian smoked salmon, preserved fish roes, a myste rious and utterly indefinable porcine preparation, about 14 different kinds of fish sandwiches and an equal number of varieties ftf cheese, most of -them swelling like Vesuvius in eruption, and compared wifht which LImberger is as but June roses-vwith other dishes too numerous to' mention and too hard to spell. . a v ' Scandinavians never drink tea or cof fee at their meals, but always after. At conclusion of the repast all arose, and,. bowing to the host, said: "Tak f er mad" (thanks for the food), Captain B. is a B. A. of the Roval Academy of Christina.-and the master ox eigm moaern and two ancient lan guages. He is also , an accomplished musician, and favored us with, charm ing selections; from his repertoire. Now a gem from Strauss. now a snatch from Jl Trovatore. or a bit from i. puntani or La Sonambula, then the spirited strains or a national anthem- Most strikingly beautiful and charac teristic are the Folkgesang and the-, Scandinavian Lieder. One does not re quire to be told that these heart songs naa tnelr birth in the land of the sea kings, the land of Odin and Thor. ; The spirit -of that far-away peninsula runs through the : whole. Now we hear the sullen Arctic waves as they break upon mat iron do una coast: now the : rush and scream pt the sea gulls: again the shriek of the wintry gale as it sweeps with resistless fury - over Snow-cazxted hill, and -foam-flecked blHow. carrvmsr aeaxn to toe! sturuv toilers of the ua. and desolation to the hearts of those who m the : seagirt cottages watch in anguish and wait In vain, i At lour In tervals a bright chord reminds one of a. suooen gleam Of wmtrv ' sunshine- re- nectea rrom: tne- glittering summits of snow-wreathed mountains. This is the true music lot nature and of nature's children. If is the Influence of these never-forsotten ' strains that fires the heart and courage of the Scandlna vian wanderer, which fans the flame of love ana strengthens sturdy arms. - It is the ever:.' present memory of these songs of the fatherland 'that "gives to the ehBdreii of the North their virti inaepeadence and unity of purpose, and respect for them "where'er their wan dering rootsteps turn. - ' They never cease to love their birth place, and sever abandon the hope of returning to tnat bleak and storm- cursed land. so dear to them. - iv We had Ordered eur boat for 10 p. m. - While merriment and good fellow ship were reigning-within the cabin af the Tros, Neptune , and i Boreas were marshaUng:beir forces: upon the face of : the dark waters v without; The shriek of the wind through the naked spars, ana the rthud".. of the waves against her ; side; warned ns that the battle of, the elements had begun - in earnest.. : k - .t -- ; t ; The man on anchor, watch nresentlv announced that an American vessel was signalinar us with lights, i Cnon going on deck, the vessel informed us that our V.n .'a, nH.us' m Mrl.t. . m. u 1 remain until the turn of the' tide.

Here was a - nice state- of af fairs:: : a bride goes lout for an after noon call to find when she returns that her house has drifted loff. When we did come up with the vagrant we had deli cate manoeuvreing- to get alongside without being dashed against the ship. After -safely disposing of our fair pas senger, we Joyfully laid our course, tor the Rialto. , -. -1 , The first sound which greeted eur ear next morning was the roar of the breakera Turning our eyes seaward we could see them dashhxg angrily -on the bar, piling up the. gleaming froth, and dashing - the i spray high in the ; air, while the bar was defined by a long- line of milky foam. Clearly there was no chance for the Rialto to unfold her white wings that day;, so we abandon ed ouselves to another day of impatient waiting. The next) morning was as gloriously" bright as She most exacting mariner could desire-f All over the harbor-were heard the Joyous" songs of the sailors - and the " cheerful clank, clank of the windlasses as- the : out ward bounders- hastened to take ad vantage f the Savoring breess. Long ere the rosy fingers! of the-goddess of dawn had drawn- : aside the sombre hangings of" her couch - the Rialto has spread her sunny wings to the gentle northwest breese and was- speeding toward the land of sunrise. On cross ing the bar we found ourselves in. the midst of a fleet of vessels. - Some eager ones, catching the first whisper of the longed, for breeze, had gone out in the early watches, "while the stars their vigils kept, and were now - towering clouds of gleaming ! canvas. Others, mistrustful of the propitious elements, had waited to see what came in Au rora's train. From their decks rose the "chantys" of the slothful mariners as they "sheeted home" the topsails,- or shook out the foldsi of the mainsail. 10 p. m. The moon is Just rising from her azure couch. As I gaze up on the chaste goddess of the night, flooding the lonely 1 world of waters with her silvery light, I realise the utter inability of any human language to give even a faint conception of the solemn grandeur of the scene. How intensely lonely you feel a syou stand upon the silent deck and gaze down Into the sombre depths of the ceme tery of nations! Hkw huge the black hull of the ship appears as she silently steals over the nlacid bosom of the deep! Her towering mast seems to pierce the star-stjudded vault, and! yet what a mere speck on tne suraace of the vast Atlantic. But why rush myself into adjectional hnnkmntpv over an Atlantic moon-rise, when, we are bound for land of beauty and ro- mance?

The silver thread In my veracious thermometer has already crawled up to 15 degrees since entering the great adjuster of cli mates. December 24. Latitude 30 degrees, 13 minutes north; longitude 62 degrees, 02 minutes west. Mingled clouds and sun light. At length we drew an extensive sigh of relief. Not because the sands of ' time which mark the Interval be tween Christmas past and Christmas future have nearly run their course. Such things are of little moment to us. There will be no stockings hung up .'here, unless It: be wet ones by the galley fire, and no benevolent St.1 Nick., but quite possibly a supera bundance of his uncanonized name sake. The prodigious sigh of relief was Lnot In anticipation 'bf Joys to come. but -resulted rrom a consciousness ot dangers past. Tofday at the meridian, and subsequently "at the "afternoon--observation, we found ourselves east of the Bermudas the bete noire of the North Atlantic pilgrim which have written above them In sombre letters on the chart, "Stormy regions of the Gulf Stream." From year's end to year's end. "Ye : storm vexed Ber moothes" is the favorite haunt of the storm demons, vrho incessantly lash the surrounding waters into a raging fury. In a dispairing little rhyme, well known to all sailors in these lat itudes, it is said': "If Bermudas let you pass Then look out for Hatteras; "And if Hatteras should you fail : On the coast you'll get a gale." From which it appears that to the har4 assed mariner's mind the chance forf immunity from aerial carousals is dis4 tressingly small. : When you enter the charmed circle, which Prospero, iik the fairy in the sleeping beauty, has drawn around this lovely little sroup, you find yourself in a Haven of rest in. to which the disturbances, aerial and mental, never penetrate. The Inhab itants in this soft, relaxing clime lead a dolce far niente existence, seeming never to think of the troubles and tur moils, the strife and struggles of that tumultuous world between which and themselves the elements have placed a barrier of raging sea and roaring gale. To the storm-tossed and weary, mart ner Bermuda seems like a heaven on earth, but, like the one above, straight ta the gate and narrow the way by which one enters it. The mariner must "keep his weather eye skinned' or he will find t himself hung up on the celestial gate-post here represeni;- ed by a coral reef. Christmas eve,: with not a whisper of the Joyous revelries on shore, borne to us on the breesej No suggestion of the all-pervading firecracker or the Jubi lant small boy; The dark, rolling waves bring not; a murmur of this on their troubled besoms. Nothing under the wide, unbroken horizon to remind us of that period of good will ana ma ter victuals, save the anxious cackling of the geese on; board, seemingly ap prehensive of an anachronism on the part of the bloody-minded cook. - i Apropos de vien, it seems rather strange to glean news from the Old North State through the columns of a tiny newspaper published on one of the islands of the Danish Archipelago. To-day I read ian article in the Born- holm Dagblad about a wild woman said to be roaming through the Jungles of Cabarrus county, ineffectually pursued by four hundred! men. This strange be ing, it appears,! has been devastating the country around Sliver Lake, mak ing several intensely dramatic appear ances, with flaming eyes, dishevelled hairand the usual New Yorav Journal accompanimsnts- of .long knife and blood-- ' 1 ) hands. She seems to have tafestfri effect of a stroke of pa ralysis oa as unexpected board bill on the dwellers in (that, region, for whom she bad an Insatlabie craving. The pa pers rurtner informs us that the supext- stitieus natives) believed her -to be a supernatural being, and that the blood hounds employed; to track her refused to quit their -masters side, and stood. with tails tucked 'between their legs. trembling witln fear. t. At- last -cable- graphic -accounts from Cabarrus coun ty to the Dagblad this terror of the Western wilds was stluxat large. The same : reliable sheet informs its read ers that the C5o-Operative, Association of Brigands,"', m Missouri, has peti tioned - Congress to erect: a "monument to Jesse James.' who, the paper, solemn ly assures us, was considered the lead ing spirit of his age and locality, and whose untimely decease was universal ly lamented, f How the tow hair' of .the Seandinaviaa reader will bristle as -he eagerly gulps down the sesquisedanop words in wnicn these Wood -curd ling tales are couched, by the mellow light or an eider dock - with a wick - run through him. TWhen I again hear one of my patriotic fellow-countrvmen ex patiating on the superior enterprise ef American jouraaitsm, I shall know him for the -narrowmmded ass be ia, and I shall also know that he ie not a sub scriber to the Bornholin Dagblad.-the cosmopolitan knowledge of whose edi tor X shall hereafter deeply respect, as well: as his endeavors to-communicate Jt Itf a spicy-manner t his readers., "SlapIyThia aad Watuag M Asherllle Cltiaen.-., . - ,r .

A man of tact could have done this, with half Mr. Cleveland's native ability; but, lacking that, he remains a failure as a political leader, and must stand for his place In history simply on his record as an executive. THE LATE SC. H. F1JTNIX. Resolutions of Respect to His Memory Adopted by the Lexington Bar. Lexington, March 4. Judge Starbuck adtourned-court for the noon recess an hour earlier than usuaHto-day-eir- a. meetins: of the bar, as previously ar ranged. In honor of the late M. H. Pin- nix, who was a prominent attorney at this bar. Capt. F. C. Robblns was elected chairman and R. T. Pickens, Esq.. secretary. Mr. S. E. Williams, chairman of the committee, offered the following resolutions, : which were unanimously adopted after appropriate remarks by the following gentlemen: E. E. Roper, S. E. Williams, C. B. Wat son, J. A. Leach, Z. I. Walser, R. T. Pickens, J. Q. Hoi ton and F. C. Rob bins. ' In Metnoriam. The county of Davidson is again called upon to mourn the' loss of one of its most distinguished citizens, in the death of Marshall H. Pin nix, Esq. He was born in the county of Cas well, December 22, 1S35, graduated from the University of North Carolina, in the year 1859, and was fori some years thereafter engaged in business pursuits. After the close of the war between the States, he read law with Chief Justice Pearson and obtained his license to practice in 1867, and located in Lexing ton, where he has diligently and suc cessfully practiced his profession for thirty years. He was an able, learned and honora ble lawyer, devoted to his profession true to his clients, fair to his adversaries and scrupulously honest in ail : his transactions. His professional brethren never felt called upon to have agreements with him, reduced to writing-: He was a patriotic citizen of his State and country. He represented Davidson county in both branches of the General Assembly. And as such representative he was faithful, diligent and able. He was public-spirited in the affairs of his town and county, a devoted hus band, kind and indulgent father. It is therefore. Resolved, First, That in the death of our distinguished citi zen and friend, the town, the county and the State have sustained great loss, society a most useful member and the profession of the law one of its bright est ornaments. Second. That this meeting tenders its warmest sympa thies to the bereaved family. Third, That this memorial be presented to his Honor, the Judge, now holding court, with the request: X. That the same may be spread upon a memorial page of the minutes or the court, z. That copy be furnished to the family of the deceased. 3. That a. copy be -'sent to the Raleigh News and Observer, the Charlotte Observer, and the Davidson Dispatch, for publication. This March 4tb, 1857, -. . LETHE.

Greensboro, ' March i There have been of late sox many inquiries- from different sections of the country about Greensboro, and so much talk through out" the State or ner business 'growth, that it will be-of interest to, the read ers of the Observer to know something of what is going- on to, this old town, once asleep: and laggard in the march of Improvements, now wide awake and foremost among tne pron-ressive chic iho rni North-State. . - ---... - " ' Eight or ten years ago the- people, of Greensboro' boasted, and with good rea. son, of their superior : climate. . their central i location, t their excellent ' rail road faculties, their fine-schools, treir shade trees, their flowers-.' and ytheir pretty girts.- All these ther still have, in even greater degree anl these inter esting features are still made known to the outside world, but the eitiiens ef Greensboro bow talk more about their rapid increase of population, their new business blocks, their - new ; factories, their new residences, their new church-, es and the number and growth ot their new commercial enterprise. The spirit of progress has permeated the whole community, and theunited efforts of the business men in promoting new en terprises In the last- few years. f uas brought about seme wonderful results. The difference between the t;rensboro of a- fewf yeara ago -and- the Greens boro of to-day will be made clearer by mention . of some of the more- impor tant manufacturing and commercial en enterprisea: ' put in operation during the past $wo yean, as f ollowaj Three wholesale aKceryuouse two whole sale produce .houses, two totton mlils, one knittng mill, three tobacco facto ries, two, wood working faetoriejv one machine J company, - one 1 lounge . 4 ' and mattress factoryr 'one varnish factory, one supply house, one patent medicine company;'-two dry goods commission and export companies, one fire insur ance company, one . whole t sate ?- dry goods house, two mw hotels. This list could be made much alrger if itinclud ed all the.smaller commercial and mer cantile establishments that have been started during the same time, but It is not my intention - to -mention this class of j business, for the reason "that they do not exert so much influence ia the growth of a community as do the larger kinds mentioned - above. - ; . A leading citizen of Raleigh known throughout the State, said recently that if he were a young man,'- tjo '-natter what profession or business he was go ing to enter, he would locate at Greens boro, as that place was undoubtedly developing more rapidly) than any other place in the State. If any visitor ta Greensboro will take the trouble to walk over or drive over the place and note the amount of building going on, he will be pretty surei to appreciate the truth, of the opinion expressed above. - I - -"- - v-. .- C.
