We would like to see every man actively engaged in Some useful avocation. Idlers contribute to their own or the world's fare. They are drones and amount to nothing good in this world- Most of our criminals come from this class. When a man is not en- gaged in some worthy calling he is apt to be doing something wrong. To build up enduring character, to make an honorable i ring for himself and family, to amass a fortune, or to accomplish any thing useful, man must be a worker. The Bible enjoins in business as positively as in any other Observer. WHEN GIRLS SHOULD MARRY. In discussing the question of a suitable age for young people to marry. Mrs. Harriett Prescott in the Boston Journal, gives her views, as follows, in re- to However the mother of a son j may look at the subject of early marriage, the mother of a is justified, it to me. in a rather decided opposition to them, j Some girls there may be, of rare j ability, who are competent to take j upon their young shoulders the responsibility a house, its work or the direction of those who do its work, the oversight of a band's the bearing and nursing of children, physical to them in health and in sick- and the daily direction of their moral and mental education, together with all the other indoor and outdoor cares incidental to the position of one who is in the head of a family and who has hap- of a home and a husband on her heart and conscience- But these cases are few- and exception and the great multitude of girls under twenty are not equal to such a strain upon nerve and muscle without arrest of development. A few years later they may themselves at that age as still children; they may feel some re- toward those who laid up on them a burden greater than children should bear. Before twenty a girl has hardly had the chance to receive the com- instruction from text hooks to which she has a right, to say nothing of the domestic education of the the needle, the sick room ; she has bad little chance to learn anything of the world of man nature ; she has lived more with dreams and ideals than with realities. She may make a charm- in wife at first, and a tender mother always, maternal instinct and solicitude taking the place of all the superiority that added years might have given. But she must stop there, taxed to the most, she has no time, no strength, and. inclination grows by inclination to read, to study, to keep pace with a band's advance, or even to it. Confidence It is but a single but how wide and weighty in meaning and effect it is. What significant forces are wrapped up in it. As some one has truly Confidence is the foundation upon which all orders are built, whether it be social, financial or business of any nature. fact, it's the groundwork of the Chris- religion, and is simply word for faith- Knock that prop from under it and the whole system falls a chaotic mass. Take confidence out of your social order, and doubt and suspicion run riot in the land. Take confidence out of the financial world and it shiv- it into irretrievable ruin. It's the faith we have in the world and its people that moves it without jar or friction. Destroy that faith and blear eyed doubt looks out with trembling suspicion.

HUMANE EDUCATION NEEDED. This striking headline must meet the approbation of every can citizen. We need to be taught humane education. Our country is sadly in want of proper training in Immune affairs. No nation in the world needs it worse ours. animals and insects, alike, receive the same inhuman treatment at our hands. The noble is maltreated, kicked and cuffed around as though he wood the ox is beaten and bruised and often poorly fed. The dog, even, comes in for his share of the cuffs. The most con- Christian in the land takes the life of a helpless without a thought or a care- It is truly singular in his era of Christian piety and in- development, that such should be the case. It has often our lot to watch with sorrow- some apparently well-meaning in- take the life of a worm, a bug or a spider, which perchance crossed his path on his daily round in quest of food- The cruel, heart- less heel crushes life from it help- less creature, robbing it of the sweetest thing in its existence. The sportsman, with gun in hand, thinks of the life he is rob- bing, so his pleasures are full. He ruthlessly robs his prey of its life, caring nothing for the puny carcass. The same may be said of various sports where the life and of animals are at stake. It is indeed time our people were calling a halt in their inhuman course toward the lower animals. We need more stringent laws for the prevention of cruelty to but above all things, we need human education to such a degree that we should be loath to take unnecessarily the life of the mean- est of God's creation- The sooner this is done the nearer we will be- come perfect men and women- Let each one examine himself closer in his treatment of the dumb brute and learn to have more com- passion for creatures. Make mane education a study and bet the world thereby. He Defied Sheriff, and Drove Judge Bynum From the Bench. Salisbury Herald. The Mountain Home Journal reports that a most dis graceful and daring occurrence took place at Yancey county, last week, and says the facts are these One of the best citizens of that county. Solomon Carter, had died very suddenly, and was buried. Garret D. Bay, another leading citizen of the same town, had not lived on good terms with Mr- Carter during the latter's lifetime, but as death had removed one of the two, Mr. Ray thought he would aid in paying the last tribute to his departed neighbor and attended the burial. This so enraged the son of Mr- Ray that he shot at his father several times, whereupon Judge Bynum ordered the arrest of young Ray. He defied the sheriff, but walked into the court house and with his shot gun drove the judge from the bench, cleared out the assembly and deliberately walked off. Can all this possibly be true in law-abiding North Carolina AN OCEAN BURIAL. I have just seen an ocean burial- Just now a body has disappeared beneath the waves, to be one of the great multitude that shall come forth when sea gives up its dead. It was an old man, a steer- age passenger, far gone with heart disease when he came on board. He was alone, and nobody knew him. Probably he understood that he could not live long. But his thoughts perhaps went back to the old churchyard of his fathers, and be tried to hold out until he could be laid to rest by the graves of his kindred. But the summons came in mid ocean. A priest jabbered a few Latin prayers over the life- less remains, and scattered drops of water or oil upon the coarse sack that covered em- The great panting engine, tuning endlessly at its mighty wheel, at a given stopped its labor for a moment. A British flag was quickly drawn off the extemporized bier, the end of the board was lifted to a high and the poor, limp clay slipped off and shot swiftly down to its ocean bed. And then as the engine started again, the hundreds who had looked on went back to their rending, their chat, their games and laughter, which closed over the solemn scene as the waves closed over the body, and almost as quickly. Scarce a memory of it is left behind. Well, perhaps it is better so. Certainly for us who are off for rest and recreation, we can proper say. to the ashes of the and then turn, somewhat sobered, to the usual occupations of the day. Here's t he Truth. Gazette. It is o fearful mistake to think that only the farmers of the States are the sufferers under our high tariff and other class leg- for the lawyers and the doctors, editors, preachers, land renters, laborers, shoemakers, and all other classes feel the hard times worse then even the farmers do, for the farmer has a field to graze his cow, he can get his wood with- out paying out cash for can make enough bread and meat to keep soul and body together, but what becomes of those who have to buy all. and can get no money to buy with I We are all in the same boat, and he who thinks differently is very unwise.

At its recent annual meeting the State Agricultural Society of in formal resolution unanimous- adopted, recommended and urged upon every farmer of that State the setting aside from five to ten acres of land around homestead, said acreage to be known as Wife's to be devoted exclusively to culture on extensive plan, of grain, grasses, vegetables, poultry, pigs, etc., and that an boor or two each morning shall be devoted by farmer and bis force to cultivate this The idea of society was to make each farm self sustaining and independent. A Delaware cobbler ran a savings bank -nine years, and didn't know it. He gave bis wife every week a certain sum of money for her own use. He never bad enough to ask her did with it, and never told him.

Dec. . very spirited contest for the of the House of Rep- will close with the of one of the candidates by the Democratic caucus which will be held to-morrow, but it will be years before it is forgotten. There have been many things to cause it to be remembered, not the least of which is the large number of candidates that will remain in the field up to the is of itself highly creditable to the Democratic party an it shows that it is a party that does not tolerate bossism, but gives every man in its ranks an equal light to aspire to honor within its gift. Another thing about it Unit will not soon be for is tho action of the in frying by misrepresent innocent remarks made by Democrats, and in many by the outright manufacture of statements to create a feeling of antagonism between the friends of several sue but too well, in sonic in- stances. Whoever h selected for Speaker the attempt will be in quarters to make it appear that the selection makes certain the nomination for President next year of some one of the gentlemen who have been prominently named for that honor. That is another Republican scheme. There is not the slightest thing to base such a conclusion upon, no matter which of the candidates for Speaker may i win. There are, to your certain knowledge, men the ranks of the of each of the candidates who favor Mr Cleveland, Governor Hill. Governor Gray, Senator Gorman Governor so you see what it is to say that the success of any one of the dates for Speaker will have any direct effect the nomination for President next year. Just as members of Congress have differ ed in their opinions of the best men for so will they differ when it comes to selecting n candidate for President. The national Democratic convention. , and not the House of will name the Presidential nominee of the party. Republican busybodies to the contrary not- withstanding. Representative Cooper, of In- who originated the investigation in the last Congress, says that if Mr. Harrison persists in keeping at the head of the pension office he will move for , another investigation. Mr. Cooper , has secured n large addition to the stock of ammunition which the I packed committee of the Con- i refused to allow him to use, and if Ran m does not vacate the pension office he will see to it that the next investigation does not end with a coat of whitewash. It is stated here, but denied, that Secretary Foster's health is in a precarious condition. While denying that he is seriously sick, his friends admit that he is going South for several rest be- fore ho again takes up his work as Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Harrison's friends in the Republican party have been expecting this week that often announced statement from Mr. Blaine that he would not be the candidate of his party, it having been stated here the other day by ex-Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, whose daughter is Russell Harri son's wife, that Mr Blaine would shortly take the public into his confidence; but alas, for the crowd, it seems to only an- other false alarm, as Mr. Blaine says not a word, but continues to smile when visiting Republicans tell him that they propose him next year.

The address prepared by the committee which was appointed in October by the Democratic Committee of the State has been issued. The committee was composed of five members of the Alliance and five not members of the order. It is a document well worth the careful perusal of every Democratic voter of the State. It is certainly along the right- It con- harsh criticism of each on account of differences of ion in reference to the means to be employed to accomplish common ends. It strongly advocates re- form in the financial system of the country, a reduction in the high tariff under which we are laboring, the increase of the volume of currency, and a decided opposition to the enactment of the Force If it will cure entire harmony in the party which is so desired at the present It entirely demolishes the idea that a third party is even de- now, much less a necessity. It is a wise document and be published in full in next week's Re- OR. THE CONFERENCE. Our last issue came out so soon after the adjournment of the Con- that we did not have time to say some things in reference to it which we desired. We propose now to give some impressions of this body formed by attending most of its sessions. The first thing that impressed us was that it was no small body. There were not less than gates here during its session. From year to year it has grown and now ranks as one the assemblies of the State. The second impression is that it is composed of a highly intellect membership. There was not much discussion upon the various objects and no great speeches made but no one came in contact with the men failed to be with the fact that he was in the presence of men of superior attainments. In former years this fact was not attributed to this denomination by those who were not members of it- Now it is pretty generally that the ministry of the com- pares favorably with any other. The third thing noticeable is the zeal and even enthusiasm which characterizes the entire body. It is wonderful to see how each min- and layman seems to have his whole soul in the work. We have rarely seen a more zealous and energetic band of men than those who compose the North Car- Conference. The next prominent feature ob- is the systematic method of distributing the work and the admirable means used in the desired end. As the various reports were made from the varied fields one could not help from realizing the fact that the work had been planned and faithfully executed. Another noticeable is the interest they are taking in controlling schools and in consequence and propagating an active educational spirit among their people. Nearly every year marks the passage. of some school to the control of the Conference and in these there seems to an awakening interest educationally, commensurate with the general advancement along this line both in State and Nation. The next thing that impressed us was the consecrated spirit in body, -means, mind and heart which marked so strikingly the en- tire membership of the body. There seemed to but one single object to the glory of God and the-salvation of sinners, and the whole Conference was a unit upon this. The general bear- and of every min and while among us pointed strongly and forcibly to this lover of good morals, and of souls, every lover of Christian civilization and Christian salvation must say speed to this noble body. It is a blessing to any community to have the Conference hold its them, and we are glad that it hits been with us. ARTILLERY SHOTS. ACQUITTED. who was tried Fayetteville for the murder of his uncle. Simon has been ac- Many witnesses of high character were examined and the evidence which was almost entire- circumstantial, was seemingly as strong as it could have been made that he was the perpetrator of the cold blooded crime, and yet he has been released. This and the trial of the Mote brothers some few weeks ago. have been two of the most noted trials in the history of North Carolina. Able counsel did able work on both sides. It is to hoped that the verdicts were righteous ones, but they have failed in a large measure to satisfy the minds of the jury of North Carolina readers who have carefully perused even- scintilla of evidence adduced. We fear that both have weak- the confidence which should never be shaken, in the safe bulwark of trial by a jury. The innocent ought not to be punish- ed, but the guilty must not be allowed to go free. PETITION TO SUB-ALLIANCES. A petition is being circulated among some of the sub-Alliances of the State asking the members to sign it pledging themselves to vote the Third Party ticket in 1892- This is without the knowledge of the State Alliance, as Secretary Barnes says that he has not seen it and knows nothing about it. It is a radical trick to split the Democratic party in North Caro- so that her electoral vote may cast for Harrison. They would give any amount of money to get the electoral vote of one Southern State. We have too much faith in the men who compose the Alliance of this State to believe that they will be duped by any such method as this which is now being made to entrap them- We have said before and we repeat it that the demands of the Alliance and the Democratic party in this State are identical in substance and there is no need for, nor will there be a third party in North Carolina. REPUBLICAN VOTE SPEAKERSHIP. There has been a lively contest for Speaker of the present House of Five dates are in the field. The Demo- caucus met last Saturday to select the candidates. There were ballots taken with no result and but little change- Crisp receiving votes. Mills Springer Hatch Stephens necessary to a choice The Caucus adjourned until o'clock Monday and the balloting was still going on Monday night. The hist ballot from which we heard Crisp had reached and Mills We learned by wire at day afternoon that Crisp was on thirtieth ballot . The Republicans in the House of Representatives cast their vote for Ex-Speaker Reid. It is they thought he deserved this complimentary vote as a for his services to them in their better days when he always ruled in their favor regardless of precedent or law. He will doubt- less have a lively time in his of in reference to the rulings of the this session, because they are not in unison with his as a precedent. CONGRESS MEETS. Congress met on Monday the 7th hist. The President's message was sent in to the body on Tues- day. We will have something to say in reference to it in our next is- sue. We venture the assertion that with a Democratic House this Con- will not leave the record that will entitle it to the name of the body. There is much sorely needed legislation and we trust that much of it may come at this session of Congress. WIDE AWAKE. Fortress Monroe. Va., Dec. Owing to sickness your was unable to rive yon the happenings of the Post last week. Another Thanksgiving day has passed, although cold and the prepared by the enlisted men was carried out It being a national holiday all duties were suspended for the day, except the necessary guard mounting. A game of base ball between the Indian team at the Normal school and the Fort boys was the most important feature of the day. The Indians have a strong team and our boys realized that there was hard work them if they came out victorious. At our boys took the field ; c, Smith p. 1st b, b, Clancy b, Hamper s s.

Although the Indians played well, they were no match for the Fort boys. The Fort team won by a score of eight to three. It is the custom of the different Batteries here on all national days to have a sumptuous and on Thanksgiving day the could often be who will have the best dinner Each bat- tery striving to outdo all others in this respect It is conceded by all in the garrison that Battery H, as it always, does headed the list It would have been a great surprise to many of those shallow minded people who believe all soldiers are slaves and criminals, to have seen the bill of fare of Battery H on that day. For slaves and criminals are not feasted as we were and are day. The services in the chap- el were conducted by the Post Chaplain, Rev. Mr. and were largely attended by the en- listed men. Another for Battery H in the person of William A. of Tarboro, N. C Private Williams was placed in Sergeant squad of recruits on Mon- day. We now have three from that town.

Private Pippin who has been vis- his relatives and friends at his old home has returned to the Post and assumed his duties. Judging from the smile he wears, he heard something very pleasant while there. The disagreeable weather for the past week caused the suspension of all military duty except the guard duty and the boys are plenty of leisure hours. They amuse themselves by reading and the different games. The contain hundreds of good books, and each Battery has its own billiard hall. Fish and oysters are very and every day some of the Soldiers are after them. U. S- A. MEETING.

It is not right that they should denied the conveniences for which they are taxed. A Mean Act. There is some meanness going on in the land yet. Last Thursday night Mr. W. M. Brown and wife went to Mr. Leonidas Fleming's, father of Mrs Brown, about two miles from where they lived. Some one who it is sup- posed wished lo injure Mr. Brown, tore up a bridge over which he would have to pass on the way back borne. Fortunately they did not return home that night. Mr. W. J. Flem- who was also at Mr. Leonidas Fleming's, was returning home on foot about bed time and found the bridge torn up. Female School. Elsewhere will be found an Female School to be opened January 4th.
