The cow had been allowed to run at large iu the woods, during the day, and she had been in the habit of coining home regu- larly at night until about two weeks ago, wbeu she failed to return. Search was made for her, but she was not found until eleven days after she was first missed. She was fastened in a tree. A firo in the woods hart bnrned in tbe tree a bole, through which she had put her bead, by turning it in a certain po- sition. She did not know how to get her bead out and remained there without food or water for eleven days. When released the cow walked home and ate heartily. —New Berne Journal.

Conven-

A convention of the Democratic party of Pitt county, will be held in the Court House in Greenville, on

ALEX L. BLOW, Chm. R. WILLIAMS JP.., Sec.

An Example Worthy to be Fol- lowed.

We saw recently that the Meck- lenburg county Alliance had re- solved to take no part in the poli- tics of that county, and will permit no candidate to use the Alliance as a means of securing a nomination for office in the county. This ac- tion on the part of the Mecklen- burg count}' Alliance is very wise and proper, and deserves to be fol- lowed by other county Alliances in the State. Such action is best for the Alliance and best for the Democratic party. It would be a dangerous stroke of politics for the Alliance in any county to under- take to nominate only Alliance Democrats. It would jeopardize the success of the Democratic tick et and invite a defeat of the plans and purposes of the Alliance itself.

Take Pitt county, for instance. We suppose thatfthe Alliance is composed of a little more thau one- third of the Democratic voters. If it should happen that only Al- liance men were nominated for the county offices, could it be expect- ed that there would be that harmo- ny aud (rood feeling in the party as would insure success ? We need to have the utmost harmony in Democratic ranks if victory is to perch upon our banner. There are five thousand voters in Pitt county, and the Democrats only have a margin of about one hun- dred and fifty votes. The relative strength of the two parties is near- ly the same, but the Democratic ticket can always win if the right men are nominated. The KEFLEC- Ton suggests that the best and most competent men be nominated regardless of the fact whether they belong to the Alliance or not, and in selecting good, reliable men neither the interetss of the Alli- ance nor the Democratic party will suffer any harm.

bills which bad passed under the Rules of the House few had become laws, aud few of those which had, would in his opinion, remain long upon the statue books.

There was great laughter in the House when be contrasted the dif- ference of the rulings by Speaker Reed and those of Mr. Carlisle and Randall.

He said that he bad no criticism ii> make upon the Speaker. If the gentlen.au, ou the ot'.-er side were sanstled vtrh that officer -'Heaven forbid" thai be should remove that satisfaction. It they were willing to accept the Speaker as a fair type of their party he wonld enter no dissent. T«ie Speaker Uad won his supiemacy. He bail exercised that supremacy. He had been the riv publican leader on the floor. Tue republicans bad made him their leader iu the chair, aud he had ex- ercised that leader-ship.

Mr. Peters, also protested against disturbing old issues and bringing, and creating a state of irritation iu that deliberative body. Amongst other tbiugs this republican lie ore sentative said : "Why stir up these animosities? Why bring up these uuplcasi'iit qrcuiops that dtv ister of Deeds order suitable books for the same and make publication of same.

Upon petition the following differences in valuation of land were made: J. Z. Brooks increased to 92000, James Brooks increased f 1,- 000, Mrs. E. Buck reduced to $1000, J. T. Smith and wife reduced to $1,- 250, J. B. Hardee reduced to $8!)J, Almira Brown reduced to 8150.

now surprised wben the Speaker's partiality was called inlquestion. But the true judgment of the country would be, that however well the Hules might produce political legis- lation, they had failed as.to that great domain ol legislation which lay outside of the fierce contest of party. They might carry through a jng- handled lanff bill, but they did not carry through the general appropriation bills, necessary for the sustenance of the government. The majority under these Hales, might put upon the statui books a force bill, iniqnitous iu its provisions and infamous in its object; but it conld not obtain the commendation of the people for its action on the general legislation of the govern- ment. I he force bill could not es- cape the fierce criticism of the peo- ple; for on account of the absence of discussion of all maters of general importance in COP gross then was necessity for die usraon elsewhere in the press, at the fireside and the assemblages of the psople.

New York, Aug, 11, 1890. The execution by electricity of

murderer Kemmler at Auburn last Wednesday has been the chief topic of discussion all the week.

Notwithstanding the fact that the law forbids the publication of the details of such executions, the newspapers issued on that day de- voted the principal part of their space to the subject aud flooded the streets with "Extras" all day long.

O'.e paper issued so many of these extras that it had to number them, the last of which I noticed being styled"Kemmler Extra No.C."

It goes without saying that the details of this ''secret execution" were as full) set forth as it it had takeu place on the steps of the City Hall. Iu their comments the newspapers almost unanimously de- clare that the execution was brutal and that the new method should b^ immediately abolished. As all the experts agree that the condemed man felt no pain aud as eyerythiug was quiet and orderly, I am unable to see where the brntality came in.

The execution was certainly not as smooth as it might have been, but who or what was at fault no one seems to kuow. The experts blame each other and the newspapers blame the method. When doctors disagree who shall decide?

THE WHITE SQUADRON. Our people are taking consider-

able interest iu naval matters lately inspired principally by the sight of the new war ships, Boston, Atlauta and Chicago, which comprise the White Squadron. The naval beau- ties, which have been anobored off 23rd street for a week past, are great cards of attraction aud are visited daily by large numbers of people.

President Harrison arrived here last Saturday evening and for the first time took command of the fleet as Cominander«in-Cbiet. He board- ed the cruiser Baltimore and em- barked for Boston, where a number of men-of-war have been ordered to take part in the naval exercises connected with the encampment of the Grand Army of the Bepublic. A salute of 21 gnus was fired from all the snips iu port. AIR TUBES AS LETTER CARRIERS.

A project is on foot for collecting and delivering mails in this city by means of pneumatic tubes. Some suou system is at present used in London and has been investigated by the Post Office officials here, who look npou It with great favor. By this means letters, etc., are dropped in the boxes, placed as at preseut conveniently throughout the city and joined with tubes which ran to the General Post Office The post- man opens the box, places the let- ters in a metallic cylinder and, by polling a lever, dispatches the mail to the maiu office with lightning rapidity. The tubes are also so ar- ranged that letters can be sent from the general office to any branch of flee by means of switches. The pro- posed plan is similar to the system now need by the Western Union TelegraghOo.

Sick headache is the bane of many ives. This annoying complaint maybe cured and prevented by the occasional use of Dr. J. H. McLean's Liver and Kidney Plllets(llttle pills.)

Disease lies in ambush for the weak; a feeble constitution is ill adapted to en- counter a malarious atmosphere and sud- den changes of temperature, and the Last robot* are usually the easiest vic- tims. Dr. .1. H. McLeans Sarsapai ilia will give tone, vitality and strength to the entire body.

Distress after eating, heartburn, sick headache, and indigestion are cured by Dr J. II. McLean's Liver Pillets (little pill.)

Many people habitually endure a feel- ing of lassitude, became they think they have to. If they would take Dr. J. II. McLean's Sarsaparilla this feeling of weariness would give place to vigor and vitality. _^___»—

New York Letter. THE OCEAN FEKBY—A NEW IDEA

IN SHOPPING—MAIL FOB MBS. ASTOB.

(Regular Correspondents

New Yoru, Aug, 4, 1800. Four transatlantic steamers sttil-

I'rom tftis harbor on Saturday, and about a dozen more sailed dnring the week. This practically cons eludes the outgoing rush for the season, aud hereafter the steamers will be more heavily loaded coming the other way. In fiis connection it may be noted that the number of people wbo annually take a tri.» to Kni'iipc is becoming larger each year while the annoyances of the voyage end the time required are constant- ly growing smaller. And the pro- gress in this direction will no donbt be greatly increased when Ihe plan is carried out of running a line of steamers from Moutank Point,which is at the farther end ol Long Island. This scheme is perhaps much more compreheusive thau is generally understood. Part of the idea is the p o|ioseil tunnel ■under the North River, across the city ISA. street, and under the East River to Long Island. This is DO little job, but if it is ever an accomplished fact trip from America to Europe will be much slio'toned. For instance, it ii proposed to take a passenger from Chicago to London with ouly two changes in six days. It is certain Chat a number of large capitalists are engaged in (he movement, and the day may not be lar distant \vhe>. A nip to Europe will be more like crossing a ferry than a sea voyage

THE REBATE SOCIETY. Quite au ingcuious method of

saving money in shoppiug has just been devised by a company calling itself the ''Rebate Society," vhooe membership, it is almost unnecessa- ry to say, is composed entirely of women. Every one who joins is given a ticket certifying that she is a member, which ticket, when pro- rented in certain stores entitles the Holder to a percentage off every purchase that amounts to one dollar or more. It is said that quite a large nuinlier ol stores have already entered into the arrangements, ami it is likely that mure will follow. I predict a i■cue—fill career foi the society and have no doubt it will be imitated elsewhere. It contains a principle of Irene fitting by organiza- tion which is not generally under- stood. A WEIGHTY yCESTION DECIDED.

At last New Yolk has been drawn into controversy and the all-absorb nig question, "who is Mis. Astoif"-

has been settled in a Solomon like fashion. The question first assumed an important position in the gay town of Newport, wheie ihe older Mrs. Astor ami the youuper Mrs, Astor both demanded that all letters addieRsed ''Mrs. Astor" delivered to the respective residence of each. It didn't require much pondering lor the post master at Newport to decide that it was impossible to comply with both requests, so it seems the matter was referred to Postmaster Van (Jots, of New York. And Post- master Van Cott decides that letters addressed "Mrs. Astor" shall not be diliveicd at all, unless the ad- dress contains the number of a par- ticular house. Otherwise the letters will be returned orseut to the Dead Letter Office. In lact, so fai as the U. S. Post Office is concerned "Mrs. Astor" does not exist.

EDWIN AKLINGTON.

Philosophy In Coaches.

A room without a couch at some sort is only half furnished. life is lull of ups and downs, aud all that saves the sanity of the mentally jaded and physically exhausted fortune fighter is the periodical good cry and the mo- mentary loss of consciousness ou the up stairs lounge or the old sofa in the sitting room. There are times when so many of the things that distract as could be straightened out and tbe way made clear if one only had a long, com- fortable conch on whose soft bosom he could throw himself, boots and brains, stretch his weary frame, unmindful of tidies and tapestries, close his tired eyes, relax the tension of his muscles and give his harassed mind a chance. Ten minutes of this soothing narcotic, when the head throbs, the soul yearns for endless, dreamless, eternal rest and the hands involuntarily reach out for cold lead, would make the vision clear, the nerves steady, the heart light and the star of hope shine again.

There isn't a doubt that the longing to die is mistaken for the need of a nap. Instead of the immortality of the soul business man and working women want regular and systematic doses of dozing, and after a mossy bank in the sliado of an old oak that succeeding Junes have converted into a tenement of songsters, there is nothing that can approach a big soia or a low, long conch placed in a corner whero tired nature can tnni her face to the wall and snooze or sleep awnv the gloom.— New York World ^bi

A New Swoko Preventer.

A new kind of mechanism for pre- venting smoke has been tried under boilers with satisfactory results, the principle being in this case, as in others, the supplying of the furnace with the proper amount of air at the proper spot. The apparatus consists of a cast iron cylinder, six inches in diamoter, extend- ing horizontally clear across the firo box, about six inches above the grate bars and immediately in front of and below the boilers; in the cylinder are two rows of apertures, about tliree inches long and half an inch wide, the cylinder itself being divided in the mid- dle by a solid partition. At each end of this arrangement is an opening through the wall of the fire box into which a steam jet forces air from with- out, and the air, playing on the bed of coals, through the slits in the cylinder, induces an almost perfect combustion, consuming all the volatile gases and carbon which ordinarily escape in the form of smoke.—New York Telegram.

The New Discovery. You have heard your friends and

neighbors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from personal experience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunch friends, be- cause the wonderful thing aliout it i>. that when once given a trial, Dr. King's New Discovery ever after holds a place I in the house. If you have never used it and should be afflicted with a cough. I coil or any Throa', Lung or Chest I (rouble, secure a bollle at once and give I ii a fair trial. It is guaranteed every j time, or money refunded. Trial bottles | free al .1. L. Woolen's Drugstore.

The Qualities of a Good Judge. State t'hronicle.

The people are now called upon to select Superior and Supreme Court judges tor the State. This is the most importaut, the most fai reach- ing in its effects of all the public officers lo be. filled. At this time our mind is led to the recital which was made by Kulus (Jhoate in Mas SHChusetts constitutional convention ol 1853 ol inequalities which should distiogush a ■'good judge:"'

'■In the first place, he should lie profoundly learned iu all the learn- ing of the law anil be must know how to use that learning "

• • • • "In the next place, he must lie a

man, not merely upright, not mere- ly honest and well IU ten Honed—this ot'emrse—but a man who will not respect persons iu judgment."

• • • • . "Aud finally, he must possess the

perfect confidence of tbe communi- ty, that he bear not tbe sword in vaiu."

Learned, impartial, honored. All these are the qualities which a man oo£ht to bare who is elevated to tbe bench.

The Irrcprfftftlble Sparrow.

Even in England the English spar- row has become an unmitigated nui- sance, and in Dorsetshire their whole- sale destruction has become necessary. A bounty is paid by the authorities of 8 cents a dozen for old birds. 4 cents a dozen for young ones and 1 1-2 cents a dozen for eggs. In some places the birds are so plentiful that they destroy half the crops, ruin the garden and even strip the thatch from buildings.— Exchange.

Dacka. The old duck wiU lay in the year, if

well kept, ten dozen eggs; and that is her best, employment, as common hens are the best mothers. It is not advis- able to let young ducks out In tbe morning to eat slugs and worms; for, though they like them, these things kill them if oaten in great quantities. Grass, com, white cabbages and let- tuors, and especially buckwheat, cut when half ripe, make fine ducks. Ducks will f«*-d on garbage and all sorts of filthy things, but their fle«h is strong and bad in proportion. They are. in Long Island, fntted upon a coarse sort of crab, prodigious fed upon barley meal and kept in a warm place in tholiigbt- tinie and not let out e.irlyan the morn- ing.—New York Ixnlger.

The "l>€'n«l Woman" of Gcrmnny. There is one old woman in Hanover

who is commonly called the '"dead wo- man." It is her business'to prepare corpses for burial, and for many years it seems to havo been the fashion among the better classes torapply to her whenever there was a demand for the nielanoholy service whioh she professed. This woman says that she has "laid out" 7,000 dead bodies, and she is prob- ably telling the truth, because for a number of years no funeral has seemed complete without the preliminary of- fices of the "dead woman."—Eugene Feld in Chicago News.

A Fender tor Electric Can. A recent invention consists of a fender

At a slope before it is a heavy four ply robber belting, pliable enough to pass over paving stones and similar objects, but snffloiently rigid to prevent an armor leg frormbelng drawn under the fender.—Meotnienl Review.
