There is an increase in various parts
of the country in the of South-
grown Irish potatoes for seed.
These ire Hie potatoes grown in
autumn from seed of the early crop.
Parties i. the North speak highly of
these for planting then. The pros-
is that a new and valuable pro-
duct will soon be open to Southern
growers in supplying those late grown
potatoes for pi
Northward. A leading Richmond
offers Southern grown seed
this spring, and speaks of an
demand for them. These potatoes
are raised here from the callings of
the early cop, planted about the
middle of August. The early crop
seed for this late one should
come from the North, but late
grown potatoes are best for planting
for the market crop.

In the February number of the
North American Review Speaker
Reed has an article on a
body. When he calls the
present House of Representatives
a deliberative body he misses the
mark very far. The people of this
country thought so last November
when they set down on him and
his followers so mercilessly. In
the next House if he practices
what he preaches he will give his
tongue considerable rest, for he
will be well in the minority, and
ho thinks the minority have no
rights whatever. Under the
speakership of Mr. the
House was in truth a deliberative
body, but when the members of
any body are not allowed to speak
their views on a subject of public
interest, then that body cannot be
called a deliberative body.

Woman's Influence.
The men who habitually seek the
com of the Fair Sex and
enjoy inhale the refreshing and
purifying atmosphere their whole-
some influence, are invariably and
almost without exception the best
and purest and noblest of men we
have in society. A woman's sphere is
that magnificent school room where
life's grandest and holiest lessons
are learned. There, men learn to put
off their rude and rough and harsh
manners, and catch up those lines
of grace an J finish and polish which
decorate human character. Their
asperities rubbed off, their
polished, and all their inherent
qualities of goodness, like gold when
brought from its hidden home in the
earth, are wrought into the finest
workmanship by the deft and
and refining manipulation of
man's wondrous influence. Woman
is indeed last best gift to
and her influence is as refresh-
as the dews to the flowers. Her
presence is like the brook threaded
oasis in the arid Sahara of a
existence, or a flower laden island at
sleep in amid the war and the
rush of stormiest
son Mirror.
The writer of the above struck
the key note of truth. Every
word of it we endorse. Bat it is
days. While woman is
God's last and best gift to man,
men, with a few rare exceptions,
fail to appreciate her. What a
blessing it would be to our
try if all our young men could be
induced to seek the society of re
fined and cultured ladies instead
of the grog shop, the card table
and the billiard saloon. Instead
of having a set of men who
patronize and support the
dens of corruption, we would
have in their place a lot of church
going men who would be ready
and willing for every good work.
For this lack of attention to and
appreciation ladies we would
say that our young men are not
responsible altogether. We be-
they would be much more
appreciated than they are if it
were not for so much public gos-
sip. If a young man calls on a
lady once he is courting if
public gossip is to be
If ho calls twice or throe times,
there will soon be a wedding on
hand, and then the tidings are
carried by the four winds of the
earth. Most young men and
men do not like so much gossip
concerning themselves; for this
reason, more than for anything
can imagine, there is that
lack of appreciation for each
company. It is a rare thing
to find one who is bold enough to
face public gossip and not care
for what is said of him. Many a
young man, who docs not do so
now, would pay proper attention
to the ladies if it not for tho
everlasting talk of others who are
not concerned. They would
this without thought of court-
ship and marriage on either side.
But suppose a young man should
pay his attentions to a lady with
the intention of addressing and
marrying her if accepted, whose
business is it but their own
our opinion many a suitable
match has been by the
self imposed services of those who
have nothing in the world to do
with it.
would hero say that some
ladies themselves the cause of
their receiving so little attention.
There are many men who arc not
fit to associate with

and the sensible young man looks

death was announced a recent
of the was born in
October 13th
He served a
apprenticeship and learned that trade
with Mr. in the
city of Richmond, and for a
of years was foreman of his employ-
works.
On the 8th of December, 18.10, he
was married to Miss Martha K. Gar-
of Prince county, Va.
To this union three children were
alt of whom arc now living;
Mr. S. W. Humber, at Carthage;
Mrs. Charlotte L. of New
Haven, Conn., and Mr. W. H. Hum-
of
His wife died in April, and
the same year Mr. Humber moved to
this State to take charge of o carriage
business for Mr. James Nelson, in
Greenville. August 1st, 1818, he
was again married to Miss Patience
B. Moore, of Pitt county. To this
union four children were born, three
of whom died. The other, Mrs.
Martha P- now lives near
Greenville.
In 1854 Mr. Humber removed to
New but returned to Green-
ville about five years later and con-
ducted a coach shop for Mr. W.
Haddock. In September, his
second wife died.
He was married again December
15th, 1861, Miss Julia A. Raster
ling, of Lenoir county. He remained
in Greenville until 1869 when he went
to Tarboro to take charge as fore-
man of the Edgecombe Agricultural
Works for A. J. Hines Co. He
lived in Tarboro until 1880, in which
year he again returned to Greenville
and spent the remainder of his life
here. To the last union six children
were born, two of whom died, one is
married to Rev. J. G. Nelson of the
N. C. Conference, and the other
three are now living with tho widow
here.
While Mr. Humber was living in
New he joined the
Church. After removing to Pitt he
changed his membership to the Free
Will Baptist Church and was a min-
in denomination. When
he came back to Greenville from
Tarboro he united with the H. K.
Church and in 1883 was licensed by
that denomination as a local preacher.
He was stricken with paralysis in
December 1886, and was never able
to walk again. His death was
caused from a second touch of this
disease.
Mr. Humber read a great deal and
was a well-informed man. He knew
more about Greenville sad the
who lived here before the war than
any other of the town. He
had many friends and In his years
affliction nothing seemed to give him
more pleasure than to have them
around him engaged in conversation.

One of common vices in ordinary
conversation, as well as in written
is habit of making a
exaggerated statement of facts or
circumstances. Its long affiliation with
coarse and humor has given it a

if any merit it really has. There is
so much to be said against a stale
device of provincial buffoonery or
i there is so little

it has not been long ago banished
utterly, at the least from all well bred
intercourse.
First, to practice it without
design or as a vehicle for humor, usual-
betrays a frivolous disposition, an
irregular imagination or a slovenly in-
attention to important details. Next,
it indicates an almost reckless disregard
of moral accuracy and a carelessness of
the effect of language upon another,
which, to say the least, are by no means
respectful to one's auditors. Again,
although it may not even suggest the
notion of a willful perversion of actual
fact or any intent harmfully to
another, yet it insensibly begets, when
accustomed to hear this sort of talk, a
habit of hearers of paying but little
attention to such a speaker's state-

It dissociates all seriousness from

speech does not deserve ordinary no-
Moreover it produces a bewilder-

which is quite incompatible either with
a serious in or a care to re-
member what is thus said, and in the
end is likely to cheat the speaker of
more than half his due because of his
common discredit as a narrator or re-
porter.
Perhaps it is sometimes not
able in an earnest advocate or a real
humorist, whose reputation for good
sense is unclouded, who seeks to pro-
an immediate effect, and is not
supposed to be limited by an

Amber comes from the shores of the
Baltic sea. It is fossilized gum, and,
as it is only found in that one small lo-
it is very expensive. It
comes in and pound bags,
though sometimes we get it in smaller
ones.
In Justice Brown's bedroom in his
Detroit home -funds two fifteen pound
dumbbells, which he has been
to use every morning. A pair
of scales near by are used daily to

Ho Antler.
With Hie of Boa antlers tho stag
changes his disposition entirely and be-
comes as docile and tract-able as a
lamb. He shows an inclination to court
public petting rather than avoid it. He
remains condition of temper
the beginning of March, when he
shows a disposition to lurk in
spots of the glen and
avoid the presence of all, even of his
kind.
During period, on the spot where
the late were, a pair of pro-
make their appearance,
with a soft, dark, velvety skin.
These attain a considerable growth in
a few days. Tho carotid arteries of
these protuberances enlarge with them
in order to supply of
When the new antlers have attained
full growth, which is in ten weeks
after the old ones have been shed, he
bony rings at the base through which
the antlers pass begin to thicken, and,
gradually filling up, compress the blood
vessels and ultimately obliterate them.
The velvety skin that surrounds tho
bone, being thus deprived of nourish-
loses its vitality and is rubbed
off in shreds by the stag on the edges
of rocks or other hard substances.
As soon as the full she of the antlers
is attained the docile disposition of the
elk disappears, and he becomes once
more for the year tho fierce king of the
glen.
The age of the elk, according to writ-
on natural history, is computed by
the number of points on tho antlers.

Men strive for earthly advancement.
The poor boy, with scarce a shoo to

with the rugged soil, looks forward to
the day when be shall sit, enthroned as
it were, in the senate of his country;
ho strives and he strives, and reaches
the point; but once there, is he

greater further advance-
The monarch is restless under
the burden of his supreme authority.
He sighs for something knows
not what No is satisfied
with the present; all regard the
future as that which contains increased
enjoyment, as that which embodies
perfect happiness.
It is so when we reach the bed of
death. The vilest of the human race
feel, when the time for dissolution
rives, that there is yet something to
to Indicate and ex-
progress. It is the spread of
the doctrine of the immortality of the
soul to which may be attributed the
grand of what is termed
grand and buoying reliance the
something brilliant yet
to be achieved-that proves beyond a
mortal doubt that this life is bat tho
