Oil on Rough Water.
An interesting experiment in the
use of oil as an aid to navigation
in rough weather is making at
Frankfort on Lake Michigan,
where railroad cars are success-
fully through thick ice by
vessels equipped with three pro-
on each quarter and
one in the bow. The experiments
made have been with oil conduits
run out from the to a
distance of yards into the lake.
Tho presence of the oil assures
smooth water on which to steer in
for the pier entrance. In
with tho oil conduit from
shore, the two steamers em-
ployed will now carry oil
bags ready for whenever enter-
port in stormy weather. The
oil bags are made of canvas, cone
shaped, and are about the size of
an ordinary 100-pound flour sack.
The bags are first filled with waste
and then with Finally they
are well punctured with a sad
needle, and when used are trailed
over the weather bow, along the
water line, by good stout lines.
The oil, oozing out, stretches away
for a distance of fifty feet on the
weather side of vessel, and
presents a barrier across which no
sea can cross.

English Girls May Walk Alone,
Tho independence of action
characteristic of tho day as re-
tho feminine world exorcises
a effect upon the attitude
taken up by young girls belonging
to tho upper classes.
Formerly they were hedged
round by many restraints. They
were not allowed to go here and
there without being by
one of their own by
mother or maid, says the Queen.
Did they go shopping, a maid
must go too, and sit in tho shop
side by side with them; did
go out to afternoon tea or to make
a call, tho maid must go too, and
wait in the hall.
It is now considered quite per-
and quite conventional
for a young girl to walk by herself
through tho streets of London.
She may walk alone when shop-
ping, when when attend-
lectures or classes, to early
and late church services, to study
art at South Kensington and
other museums, or travel by train
on district, main or suburban
hues, or wherever engagements
lead.
The lino is certainly drawn at
walking in Hyde Park alone,
although few independent
maidens consider their pet
quite sufficient protection
there, but there is no restriction

Silver Bedsteads.
A bed made in Paris for an In-
prince was constructed partly
of silver, with large female figures
at each corner, each holding a
fan, The weight of
the body sets certain ma-
in motion, which causes
the figures to keep the fans gently
in luxury in a hot
mate. By touching as a large
musical box is made to give forth
soft music as a further incentive
to slumber. Another bedstead of
silver is said to have been occupied
by the German Emperor during
his visit to the Sultan. It had
curtains of surpassing rich-
heavily embroidered with
gold. What a contrast this
to the simple iron camp bods
occupied by of tho
of Europe.
Punishing Children.
A mother whose success in the
training of her folks is some-
thing beautiful to behold, believes
in the punishment fit the
and finds this rule to work
far better than measures that have
no real bearing on the case. For
instance, the untruthful little one
is not permitted to speak until only
correct statements are promised
faithfully to be uttered. If a
child disarranges the work basket
or fitters up the room it is not sent
away after a shaking or slap,
while the mother spends an hour
in putting things to right, but is
made to pick up everything and
arrange things just as they were
before the busy little fingers did
work.

More Conspicuous In Butter-

Also In Large Birds, and Even
In Beasts
The love of dancing is found
throughout the animal world,
shown more conspicuously in but-
and other but also
in large birds, and even in beasts.
The Naturalist in La has
lately added some very curious in-
stances to those accumulated by
Darwin and others, showing the
delight that certain birds take in
moving together on the ground
after a set fashion, which does not
vary. Tho a large rail,
with very long toes and beautiful
greenish-gold feathers under the
wings, stops feeding every little
while, rushes to spot, to tho
number of six or a dozen, and then
all move about in a cluster with
wings raised. Tho a
true rail, does the same, but
pares smooth places beforehand
for the dances, as the prairie
chicken is said to do. Both these
birds scream loudly while

a stream of sound like the roll of

leader raises his wings and stands

loud notes; while tho other two,

standing exactly abreast, stoop
forward and downward, until tho
tips of their beaks touch th
ground, and sinking

A Strange Canyon.
George W. Dunn, the veteran
naturalist of California, has re-
turned to San Francisco from a
strange canyon in the
Mountains, Lower California,
where he went recently to secure
some rare plants, and
seeds of the blue palm. He says
that the canyon has never to his
knowledge before boon explored by
white men, and that its declivities
are all together more rough and
frightful than any he has seen on
the Pacific although he has
traveled much. About two thou-
sand Indians were there
gathering the fruit of tho palms
pine nuts. They reached it,
as did Dunn, by going down
the almost perpendicular sides of
the range. The drop is
in three miles. Dead
Indian ponies and horse skeletons
lined the way. The formation
from the bottom of the terrible
to tho saw-toothed back-
bone is clean and pure granite.
Along tho is a tumbling
cascade of pure mountain water,
on either for miles are

what is a cricket To most
it is rarely more than a name
or a sound. The insect itself is so
seldom seen that only by its
cheery chirp do we know this fit-
tie creature of good There
is a good deal of poetic sentiment
and superstition surrounding the
cricket, but it is a greedy little in-
sect, and is very fond of a nice
warm fire. Probably because of
its liking for heat, it is always
afflicted with a great thirst, and is
particularly partial to milk or
water. It cannot bear the light,
which fact seems to indicate a
guilty conscience, and it relapses
into at tho least noise. So,
in the of the night, when
all is quiet, it makes its journey-
in search of food. A few stray
crumbs are very acceptable, and
sometimes a scrap of animal food
is relished. It is only the male
cricket that is gifted with a voice,

the ears of his lady-love. The one

Cleveland occupied a carriage to-

first of the inaugural ceremonies
took place Senate chamber
where Vice-President Stevenson
was sworn in. President Cleve-
land made his address and was
sworn in on a large stand erected
on the east side of th e Capitol
around which thousands of people
were gathered. The stand con-
seats for several hundred,
the front of it being occupied by
the President-J party- the Justices
of the Supreme Court in their
robes, the diplomats of for-
countries in their official cos-
-Senators, Congressmen
and ether officials, the remainder
of the stand being filled by those
fortunate to get seats
thereon. It was our good fortune

At the conclusion of the
tho Presidential party were
driven back to the stand in the
front of the White House grounds
which they took their
for the review of the
parade. The procession started
about o'clock and was more than
four hours passing before the
President. This parade was the
grandest ever seen in Washington.
There were in line thousands of

President Cleveland has not
changed his habits since he was
in the White House before. Every
morning this week he has been at
his desk hard at work by o'clock,
midnight has found him still
at that desk nearly every night. It
is well that he has such
habits, as up to the present
time he has been given but little
time to work between the hours of

numerous callers.
The semi-official announcement
that President Cleveland would

the critical financial condition of

night. Wednesday evening these
prisoners were as looked in one of
the lower cages. They Hied off the
staple that held the lock to their cage
and after getting in the corridor cut
through the brick wall into the pas-age ;
then removing the lock from the front
door they were soon at liberty. The
names of the escaped prisoners were
James Davis, James Hall, James Barnes,
George Render and Silas The
latter gave the Sheriff another surprise,
Thursday evening, by returning and
rendering himself. He was quick to ask
for something to cat, saying he had not
had a mouthful left. He said
they ill got out of the jail by o'clock
the night before and went over nearly to
Bethel. To get out so early the prison-
have been provided with good
tools to do their work.
When this jail was built it Was
thought to be secure against the escape
of prisoners, but this is the second time
such has occurred. There ought to be
a wall around the jail to prevent friends
of the prisoners getting so near them.

Mr. Richard Harper, who was

heavy load of the weed a few days
ago told us that he had sold the
most of his crop in Greenville and
that he had spent between and
in Greenville for groceries and
dry goods which usually went to
Snow Hill merchants.

is quoted as having sold only
twenty six thousand pounds of

have been two hundred and sixty

Mr. R. R. Cotten is also

of his tobacco. It should have
been Mr. C. Cannon. Mr- Cotten,
we are sorry to say, has given his
tobacco and his influence to

A Letter From a Gentleman in an Ad-
joining County, who Thinks the
Outlook for the Future of
Greenville Encouraging.
It is with great pleasure that we
have the privilege of publishing
the following kind and generous
letter, which touches forcibly the
same points on which we are so
zealously striving to impress the
people of Eastern North Carolina.
It is from the pen of a high-toned
scholar and Christian
Prof. Jno. Duckett, to whom the
State of North Carolina owes a
debt of gratitude for the valuable
and patriotic work that he has
done in the of her
interests.

Dear am delighted in
reading your department in the
Reflector. It always affords me
great pleasure to learn of the
of any of my former pupils.
Your articles are well written, sen-
well formed, and your
than they can perceive before
them. Yet after all, it is young
men that make the world more
progressive. Some years ago I
visited Durham, and to my
the men that I had read
about so much in connection with
the progress and up and
of Durham were nearly all young
men. Some were almost beardless
youths, yet the vim and push they
have given Durham has made it
the livest town in Central North
Carolina. If Eastern North Caro-
is ever to from its
and the garments of
progress it once wore, or produce
new ones, it must be done by its
men. If new fields are to
be cultivated, if new enterprises
are to started and successfully
prosecuted it must be done by its
young men, hence I repeat that it
affords me great pleasure to see
a young man was a faithful
pupil under my instruction for two
or more years launching out into
new fields and starting up new
enterprises, for this section at
least, with prospects so high-
May success crown your efforts
may you see the day when
you are more to Eastern North
Carolina than Jule Carr has been
to the middle section of the good
old North State. I can well re
member when Durham was a
much smaller town, and much less
business was done in it than is
now done in Greenville- Indeed
back in the seventies no one
thought that there would ever be
anything Durham but Black-
Durham Bull, and the depot.
One new enterprise started
and another and thus the town
has grown from a railroad station
to a live progressive city. Push
and brains start, and money
comes afterwards. There is not a
single progressive city the
United States that has been start-
ed from the jump and made so by
rich people. The start was first
made by pushing men. then
like the reservoirs of water
way up among the Rockies, which
have held it there for ages, except
what was evaporated, when a way
was started from the dry valley to
these reservoirs or lakes, the water
did not wait for a wide channel to
be opened but realizing how much
the valleys could be made to smile
forth plenty rushed
down and where was once sterility

was afraid of Morse's
new ideas for a long lime. Edison

world's goods when he invented
and started the electric light.
But mark bow capital has flow-

a few men make a town, though
many may reap the benefits.

general use, as that alone can be

costly experiment by each
farmer, as the soil of different
localities vary so much, to
the treatment received by them in
former years also owing to
their former condition ; even some
fields in the same farm may re-
quire a different fertilizer from
others to produce the best results.
This can not learned by

I have tested several different
brands of chemical manure, be-
sides nitrate soda,
sulphate, etc., and I find
some brands were a positive in-
jury to the tobacco. Thus it
would be the of folly to ad-
a special brand for general
use, but it would be safe to
any brand that analyses ten
to twelve per cent, potash
Last year I applied soda nitrate
at the rate of pounds per acre
with very good results, giving
good growth and splendid color,
But the wet season, perhaps, was
favorable. I we should also
change our mode of applying
arable manure. The Ufa of the
tobacco plant is t o short to re-
the full benefit of it as in
ten or twelve weeks the growth of
the plant is finished and manure
applied spring is not yet de
composed.
I am not prepared to show by
experience, but it looks reason
able, that we ought to apply a
heavy coat of manure sod ; plow
for corn and then supplement with
chemical manure for tobacco the
following year. I am more
convinced every year that our
best way to grow tobacco to per-
is to select some suitable
field and the best on the farm at
that and keep that for tobacco and
nothing else, and manure heavily.
I have a lot of one and a half
acres which was the
seventh successive year and this
year's crop shows finer any
previous one. Witness the crops
grown on lots in Washington
borough, for instance, which was
grown on the same ground every
year. Few sections of the country
produce heavier or finer crops,
some of which was sold at cents
per pound last year.
