It is indispensable that tho man
should be alone, that ho should

striking from the steeple,
and that a cover laid
opposite him, as for an expected

Lord Peregrine was a great be-

believer in marriage. Ho was too

dreamed that he tried to run from
her. He was awakened by hearing
tho door suddenly open, and just
at that moment tho stroke of mid-
night ahead through the open
window. Lord had slept his
hour, but remembering the
of beginning supper while
midnight was striking, he snatched
at a roll, broke it, and put a piece
in his mouth, then looked up and
saw a girl holding out to him a
large bouquet of white rosebuds.

work upon his solitary supper with
a good will, which the
waiter think that these love-crosses
which so mar tho appetites of
Frenchmen provoke extra voracity

The next day Lord Peregrine re-
turned to his own land, but he
did not that it had unproved
in his absence. After a few
months he grew moody, and one
day set out afresh on his travels,
resolving to stay away until he
had educated himself to sing in

they bad got into harmony with
him. He stayed away ten years,

a black beard about a foot long,
but, consistently enough with
man nature, he felt younger than
when he went away. He was
to ask himself whether ho
ad spent his manhood to good
profit, and was longing to retread
the paths of civilization ploddingly
and submissively, like the rest of
mankind.
In pursuance of this desire he
asked the waiter at his hotel after
dinner whether there was anything
doing at the San Carlo, and was
told that the songstress,
was giving a
series of performances there. The
waiter went on to explain that la

of the universe, having been over-

and gold in Milan, Paris, London
and St. Petersburg. She was
going to play in that
evening, and places were
to procure, and it was a benefit
and all the seats had been engaged

Lord Peregrine soon proved that

while I was lying there taking it

The President seems
to have had some trouble in get
some of those whom he had
selected to accept on account of
the small salary, which the
position pays.
The believes that the
Magistrates of the county acted
wisely in their meeting on
by re-establishing the Inferior
for Pitt county The
with which cases are tried by
the Superior Courts, and civil
causes there from tens to
term without having a hearing,
has burdensome to the
and numerous complaints have
arisen.
It is true that since the chair-
man of the Board of Magistrates
issued his call for the to
confer as to the advisability of re-
establishing the Inferior Court, a
bill has been put through the
Legislature increasing the number
of Superior Courts from four to
five each year, and making two of
these Courts for the trial of civil
causes only. This bill was not
petitioned for by the people of the
county, nor does the change it
provides for give satisfaction to
the masses. Five Superior Courts
a year would prove a heavy bur-
den upon the tax payers of the
county, and knowing that the In-
Courts car. be conducted at
much less expense, the action of
the Magistrates shows that they
have the best interest of the county
at heart. They provided for three
terms of the Inferior Court, and
passed a resolution that the Gen-
Assembly abolish two of
Superior Courts which their form-
bill provided for, and make the
remaining three Superior Courts
for the trial of both criminal and
civil causes.
The Magistrates set the times
for holding the Inferior Courts in
February, August and November,
and if the Legislature acts upon
the resolution they send up
which have no doubt they will
Superior Courts will be
held in March, September and
December. The wisdom of this
arrangement can be seen at a
glance. The Inferior Courts com-
just a mouth before the
Courts will dispose of all the
minor criminal clean out
tho jail, and leave the Superior
Courts with only the graver
and the civil causes.
Then if the Superior Courts per-
form their duty as well as the In-
Courts will do, the dockets
of Pitt county will be found up all
the while, and the vexations arising
from tho delays and crowded dock-
will be removed.
However, there are a few op.
posed to the re-establishing of the
Inferior Court, are declaring
that tho action of the Board of
Magistrates is they
had no right to assemble them-
selves without being ordered to do
so by the Board of County Com-
missioners. By this they kept
some of the Magistrates from at-
tending the meeting Saturday,
and since they see that enough
came anyway to establish the
court they are trying to cry it
down by the same talk. Tho Be-
is not up on legal matters,
but when it is remembered that
Board of Magistrates makes the
Board of County Commissioners,
it looks like the creating power
ought to have the right to
if desired without getting
orders to do so from the object
created. But if the action of the
Magistrates is not legal, as some
assert, it can be made so in very
short order. Just let the
tare go right ahead and abolish
the two terms of Superior Court, as
the Board of Magistrates have re-
quested them to do, then let the
Board of Commissioners at their
next meeting, if it is deemed
necessary, issue their official call
to the Magistrates to meet and
ratify what they did last Saturday.
This will establish the legality of
the Court beyond dispute.

is neither. It is stated
that Mr. Harrison received
assurances before the
was sent to the Senate t it

easy about it that he has gone
shooting, to remain until
next week. It is, of course,
for the Democratic Senators to
prevent action on the treaty at this

them who have committed f

very probable.
The official announcement f the
selection of four members of C eve-

talked about since it was received.
Mr selection was known

good Democrat is foolish enough
to expect that every man selected
as a member of the cabinet will be
his personal choice for the place.
Every student of history knows
that circumstances have quite as
much, and often more, to do with
the choice of members of the
net than the personal inclinations
of the President, to say nothing c f

The advantage of having clear-

Washington, D. C, Feb.
Mr. Harrison may have the best of
motives for the manner in which he
acted about the annexation of Ha-
bat there is something about
it which in another man would
have been called sharp practice.
The impression was allowed to
go out that if annexation was re-
commended it would be by act of
Congress, which would give the
House as much say about it as the
Senate. But this week he sent a
treaty which the Secretary of State
had negotiated with the Hawaiian
Commissioners, providing for
mediate annexation and leaving
the legislative details to be
ranged by the next Congress, to
the Senate, urging in the special
message which went with it that
tho treaty be promptly ratified.
It is argued in favor of this rail-
business that it was too
late in the session to get
on the subject, and that it was
necessary to take Much action.
Democrats in the House fall to see
the point in such an argument.
Many of them are strongly in
favor of annexation, bat they can
see no good reason, so long as the
matter will have to be completed
under President Cleveland's ad-
ministration, why it was not left
for his administration to begin it.
Granting that to do it by treaty
and not by an act of Congress was
the best way, there is no getting
around the fact that within two
weeks the Senate of the Fifty-
third Congress will be in extra
session for the purpose of confirm-
Mr- Cleveland's nominations Tone
We see that some of our State
exchanges have been
by the Rod Publishing
of Chicago. This is a
fraud we have reason to believe
after diligent as to the
responsibility of the concern, and
as they refused to pay in advance

turned them down. We don't bite
at offers of this kind from parties
we know nothing about. By the
way, we see that big prize

in some papers, although it

Al season is near

which is of the most inter-
est to farmers, is, what
shall I plant, where shall
I plant, and how shall I
plant it- After determining
what to plant and when to
plant, it is of equally as
much importance how yon
plant and cultivate. We
think it is conceded by all
that no land will make
a good crop unless prop-
cultivated. The re-
of last years crops, we
think, goes very far to
show that a judicious use
of commercial fertilizers
pays on the lauds in this

tons compost made from Boykin, Cos for-
for Home Fertilizer. On this I reversed two
turn furrows, planting one double row of corn with
corn planter eighteen inches apart to every seven
and one-half feet, March 15th- As soon as corn was
up I commenced cultivation with inch bull-tongue
deep and keeping land as level as possible
until last plowing, which was done about the last of
Juno with a Stonewall sweep. During cultivation I
applied in furrows side of corn pounds cotton
seed meal- In the field there were sixty-eight
