Judge Henry G. Connor, of
Wilson has resigned as Judge
of the Superior Court of the Third
District. His retirement from the
bench is much to be regretted the
State over. Ho man has ever
served more acceptably than
Judge Connor. He has all the
qualities which go to make an
ideal Judge. With profound
knowledge of the law, energetic,
painstaking, honest and honor-
able, impartial and pure, he
adorned the position and leaves a
reputation as Judge that might
be coveted by man. Mr.
S. Battle, of Rocky Mount
has been appointed by Governor
Carr to fill the term of
Judge Connor. Mr. Battle is a

how a Ebb that

He was Senator from his
district in the last Legislature.
There is no doubt but what he
will make a Judge-
is
of
country among the seven hills
the eternal city.
Another reason given why he is
not a suitable personage for this
important is that he
gave fifty thousand dollars to the
Democratic campaign fund last
Fall. To make this a potent
reason the knowing ones have to-
assign a motive and affirm a bar
gain between him and Mr. Cleve-
land. They are not slow to do
this and assert emphatically that
he bought his position and in
consequence had to have it, or
Mr. Cleveland must fly the con-
tract. W o dare assert that there
is not a man living on the Amer-
continent who believes that
the President made any deal with
Mr. in reference to any
appointment in consequence of
his liberal contribution to the
campaign fund of last year. His
record is squarely against
before hand as Tammany will
probably say if allowed to testify.
The races between the English
yacht, Valkyrie, and the American
yacht Vigilant, has attracted
much interest through out -this
country and England- The race
is for the champion ship and for
the Queen's Cup, which has been
held by this country a number
of years. There will be five races
and three of them must be won
by the yacht that secures the prize
The first trial was made last
Thursday, but the breeze died out
and the race was declared off.
The next trial was made Monday,
which went to the and
won by the American yacht,
which came minutes and
seconds ahead. The second race

that the cup will continue to re-

that when the Senate meets to-
day he will ask it to sit in

on the repeal bill that is now be-

of physical endurance then to

Senators are a little more inclined
to remain in the Senate than they
have been of late it will be only a
short time before a vote is reach-
ed. There are various
as to the final result, some
believing that this method of
reaching a vote will be the death
of the bill and others that it is the
only way to end the protracted
struggle. The Republicans in
the body will not feel very much
inclined to endure much privation
to repeal a -aw which they know
they will not held responsible
fr whatever action the Senate
may take- It is hoped that a
compromise may be precipitated
and in fact this is very strongly

extreme severity, and attended
great destruction both to lite

thousand and three thousand

rivers everything was swept away.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. C-, Oct, 1893-
President Cleveland's motive
in having all his callers state the
nature of their business to his
private secretary before
admitted to his office has been so
grossly misrepresented that I
present the facts, which
So much of the President's time
been occupied in listening to
the appeals of Congressman and
other for
offices their friends that he
has found it necessary to stay up
the greater portion of nearly
every night in order to perform
his more important duties.
order to a stop to this he de-
to place the duty of
all officials upon the
members of his cabinet, he
accepting their recommendation
as final, and order to save his
own time, as well as that of bis
callers, those who call at the
White House are required to
state the nature of their business
to private secretary If
it be about an appointment the
new rule is and they
are referred to the member of the
cabinet who has jurisdiction of
the office wanted; if they are
about public business they are at
once taken to the President. The
change is popular with Congress-
men and will strike most people
as being a sensible one.
The most notable incidents of
the debate in the Senate

House, whether he goes asking
an appointment for a friend or to
discuss public matters. The

Esther was born this Congressman
was approached by a loudmouthed
individual who has made himself
by his personal abuse
of President
because he was turned down by
a well known restaurant,
which was at the time
with prominent public men, and
the aforesaid loud-mouthed
made a disrespectful re-
mark about the baby whose
birth had just been announced.
The Tammany Congressman
walked close up to the man and
spat in his face. The
coward sneaked off like the cur
that he is, and the Congressman
was asked why he did not knock
him down. he re-
marked scornfully. would

Within an hour the incident

to see that Tammany Congress-
man when he calls at the White

man has, however, asked for
the incident, for, as he
puts it. do not wish to be re-
warded for having done what any
good citizen would have
insult to the family of
the President.
The House need not be idle
after the vote is taken on the bill
for the repeal of the Federal
election laws, next week, even if
the tardiness of the Senate in
disposing of the silver question
prevents the recess which
Congressman would like to take,
particularly those from states in
which elections will be held this
fall. The substitute
for the Geary Chinese law has
been favorably reported to the
House from the Foreign Commit
tee and can be taken up at any
time, and the Judiciary Commit-
tee has reported the Gates bank-
bill to the House- It is
probable that the Chinese bill
will be given the preference.
How much truth there is in the
talk among Republicans about
the Democratic members of the
House committee on Ways and
Means being afraid to attack pro-
may be inferred from the
following remarks made by a
Democratic member of that com
The new tariff bill will
be framed on the lines laid down
by the Chicago even if
it results in the defeat at the polls
of every member of the committee.
We shall hew close to the line
you rest assured that no matter
what else is done it will be found
that the tariff bill when it is re-
ported will completely ac-
cord with the Democratic plat-
form. The Republicans who are
trying to create a contrary
are doing a foolish thing-
It is much better that the country
should know at once that the high
protective duties of the
law will be entirely wiped out by
the new bill.
The Republicans have allowed
the debate the House on the
bill for the repeal of the Federal
election laws to go by default,
keeping more or less quiet by or-
of Boss Reed.

It seems that the ho low of the At-

showing it is rather a saucer, or
one, so is the contour of
its bed. It is found that proceed-

countered in very close proximity
to the 100-fathom line. With the
depth of 1,800 fathoms to

the Atlantic becomes a slightly
plain, whose gradients are
so light as to show but little
in depth for some 1,200 miles;
the flatness of these
submarine prairies, therefore,
the familiar idea of a basin
rather inappropriate. The greatest
depth in the Atlantic is claimed to
have been found some one hundred

of St. Thomas, where soundings of
fathoms were obtained. The

Very few aware that

pearls have been taken from these
waters. In one pearl, a black
one, was sold for ten thousand
and since that time
many pearls have been taken from
the beds in the California gulf val-
at over seven thousand five
dollars each. Cat such
are very rare, and, as a rule, the
pearls which arc brought up arc
very little value. The shells, how-
ever, are very valuable; most of
them are shipped to Europe, where
they are manufactured into
buttons, and
the hundreds of oilier articles for
is used.
Another fact concerning the pearl-
oyster and the pearl itself is very
little understood. I have seen in
books of instruction both in this
country and England Hie state-
that formation of the
pearl in the oyster-shell is caused by
a disease of the and this
statement is more or less generally
believed, as is a I erroneous
inference to be drawn from it
that the referred to is
the oyster. The mother-of
pearl is nothing more than a series
of layers of nacreous matter deposit-
ed by the oyster upon the interior
of the shell, and the pearl itself is a
perfectly accidental formation. It
is caused by a similar deposit of
nacre around foreign object.
This foreign substance may be a
grain of sand, a parasite or some
similar object; but most authorities
agree that it is more usually an
developed egg of oyster around
which this natural deposit is thrown.
The largest pearl ever meas-
two inches long and weighs
three ounces. This, is of eastern
origin. The largest found in the
Gulf of California did not exceed an
inch and a quarter long and was
somewhat larger the egg of a
bluebird. Many of the Californian
pearls are I lack and speckled. These
are considered more valuable than
the white pearls in Europe, but the

It is a fact that mice can and often

observed for several months. One
mouse learned to canary,
but the other was taught by its
companion. A correspondent of For-

One Monday evening, as I sat read-
by the fire, I heard what I at
first thought was a boy passing
along the street. imitating the war-
of a a bird. Presently,
however, I discovered that the noise
was not in the street, but in the
room where I was sitting, and fur-
that it was mads by a mouse.
The little fellow was evidently
upon a foraging expedition, and was,
if one might judge from his song, as
light-hearted as the canary whom ha
so perfectly imitated.
I listened in wonder, and then
proceeded to arouse my family, who
had retired, telling them that I
wanted them to hear what they had
never heard, and what they might
never have an opportunity of hear
mg again.
The little fellow seemed very tame,
and for upward of an hour played
around my feet, and at hide and
seek under my chair, and then,
probably thinking that it was time
for to be in bed, vanished.
I listened very attentively during
the whole time to see if the singing
might be attributable to any disease
of an asthmatic nature, but the tones

on the Farm.
Farming is one of the noblest
known to man or to
an. The first roan was a farmer,
his occupation, God chosen, and the
first wife was a farmer's wife. If
the employment has become dis-
tasteful to young people, so that it
is difficult to keep the old homestead
in the family, the fault lies in the
conditions which the farmer imposes
on himself and on his family. The
great world of art, science and lit-
should be open to the farm-
sons and daughters and the
courtesies and refinements of life
shared by them as well as by the
families of the men of affairs in the
town; and until the farmer's life
broadens to meet the requirements
of the times he must not expect to
detain at home the wide-awake boys
and girls who are needed there.

Cycling in France.
Cycling is reported to be growing
rapidly in popularity with the
French women of all classes. They
were much slower in taking to it
than their English sifters, who have
long ago adopted the tricycle as a
machine. The Frenchwomen,
however, have gone beyond them.
They scorn the tricycle and take to
the bicycle at once. Moreover, they
usually wear some sort of a suitable
gymnastic costume for riding, an
innovation which the English and
American women have not ventured
to adopt to any great extent.
