In fact, he was continually being congratulated upon his engagement to of probably tho whom he had taken out last But ho was not much to for his hesitation, since Ruth and Matilda possessed charms that were both equal and complimentary. was possessed of much more than ordinary beauty and of a mind that was keen as it was Matilda, though positively tho readiest wit and and her homeliness was forgotten in an undefined Uncertainty of grace, which tho poets have sung as been tho peculiar charm of Rose If Jack vowed one night to the slave of Ruth, tho next night ho was sure to be the servant of Matilda. For time the three had talked of visiting of the steel mills, and one night Jack actually did tho two girls to see tho Edgar Thomson Steel Works at Bessemer.

Just as the train had gotten into the open air and Matilda heard a dull thud outside, and the engine reversed its wheels and stopped. The three or four men in the room rushed for the door, ran nut them- a Dad jolted the first car, and its mold had, in falling, knocked a man down. As the girls came near saw him lying on his back in tho dust, with his face and shoulders hidden by tho mold. He seemed to stunned, for ho lay motionless, and tho end of the mold, after throwing him to tho ground, had rested on a stone be- hi in.

Painting on Chamois. Painting on chamois leather is a style of decoration which is still used for dross trimmings, and for various household ornamentations. The natural ecru color of leather is sometimes preserved, though quite often tho leather is stained to a different color. A de- sign in dark shading into the natural color of tho chamois, is probably as effective as any- thing Small pieces of this work been in for but large hangings are now made decorated in the bold, way which gives tho best re- in this material. Quaint bolts, with long, hanging ends, de- signed from old peasant costumes, are decorated in this way. Removing Coffee Stains. stains should wet with cold, soft water before being t into the wash, and will usually be found all right when tho launder- is done. A surer way is to run boiling water through the fa- which will carry away the stain at once. Where an fine damask suffers from this cause it is to apply a mix- made from the solution of yolk of egg in clear water, with a few drops of wine added. Allow the solution to penetrate tho fabric thoroughly, then wash out with t water and tho stain will be gone. Ink Stains. Ink stains may be from colored covers by dissolving of oxalic acid in a of hot water and rub- bing the stained part well with the solution. Ink steins may be taken out of anything white by simply putting a little powdered salts of lemon and cold water on tho stain, allowing it to remain about five minutes, and then washing it out with soap and cold water, when the stain will disappear.

History bears us out in this. As the question now up is one of a religious character, two or three illustrations from the Bible will lend strength to this point- Look at the children of Israel as they stood on the verge of the Red Sea and saw no way of progress or getting beyond reach of their approaching enemy- They began clamoring to return to the land of bondage from which they had just been delivered, and ask- if there were no graves in Egypt that they had been brought out here to perish.

Col. Elliott F. Sheppard, of New York, died in that city last Friday. He was editor of the Mail and Ex- press the bitterest partisan sheet in the United States. He was a man of some reputation, and was the son-in-law of Vanderbilt There probably is as much grief in the South over his death as there was over the demise of Beast Butler. The day has pass- ed when men will even after death praise any man who was so narrow minded that he never saw beyond his immediate section and who never lost an opportunity to slander those who once differed with him. The number of such men is fast diminishing and the sooner we are freed from them the better it will be for this government. The first appointment in North Carolina made under the new ad- ministration was that of Special Collector at Wilmington, James W. Young present bent being removed and Col. E. D. Hall appointed in his stead. This shows the tenor of at least the Treasury department in reference to removals- Young was a blue- blooded partisan and never lost an opportunity to show this. He is said to have carried Congress- man Cheatham of that District in his pocket and these two controlled almost entirely the Federal pat- of Eastern North Carolina.

There are several thous- and resignations of fourth-class postmasters on hand, and these will be disposed of before he be- gins the work of removing postmasters. Speaking of postmasters, P- M- G- stated to a delegation of Missouri Congressmen that the policy of the department concern- appointments had been mis- represented by a certain class of newspapers. In the first place, it had been stated by these news- papers that the recommendation of Congressmen would count for nothing. As a refutation of that statement the fact was pointed out that not a single postmaster had yet been appointed who did not have the endorsement of his Con- While not disposed to Ignore the Congressmen, Mr- Bis- sell said that the question of who should be postmaster should in a measure at least, be decided by the people of the locality, who were more directly interested than anyone else, and that the wishes of the people, would certainly be considered in making appointments. No- body is to be ignored; what the department wants is the co-opera-, of both the people and the Congressmen in the selection of such postmasters as will increase the efficiency of the postal service- Mr also denounced as false the statements that women and editors are to be discriminated against in the selection of post- masters. The number of nominations sent to the Senate this week is con- ahead of any other sin- week. There necessarily been some personal disappoint- but with the exception of the nominations of Burke and Hawkins to be S- Attorney and Marshal for Indiana, over which there was a little flurry, no adverse criticisms have been made of any of them by Democrats The Democratic caucus decided to elect the officers of the at the present extra session, and nominated ex-Congressman W. R. Cox, of North Carolina, for Secretary Richard J. Bright, of Indiana, for Sergeant-at-Arms, and Rev. W. H. the blind preacher who has been Chaplain of the House for several terms, for Chaplain. The Republicans threat- en to resort to filibustering to prevent an election of these but it is believed that they are only making a bluff to enable them to keep as many cans in the subordinate positions as possible- Senator Harris, of Tennessee, has been elected president pro of the Senate, but as President Stevenson gives of his intention to stick more closely to his duties than his have usually done e will not be called on to side over the Senate very often. So he will enjoy the honor, which is fully deserved, without having to do much extra work. There is no truth in the report that Senator Harris and the President had quarreled. two-thirds of a crop of cotton should be planted. All pledged themselves to this course. An ed- passed by a large farm and asked the overseer if that was all the colonel was planting- no, sir There are acres here, but he has at the old home and acres at The editor said that was more than he planted last year, and yet the colonel pledged himself to plant less. The colored brother replied sir, the old is a sight. He knows de others are to plant less, so he is long-headed, and he is to plant It is to feared that there is too much truth in this anecdote. Our farmers know that it is to feed their horses on the Northern hay, keep their wheat fields in the great West, smoke-houses in Louisville, and Chicago, and their fertilizers in distant islands of the sea. They ought to know, after a long experience, that a big cot- ton crop means low prices. Still, there is no unanimity of sentiment among our farmers. They have made a start in the of diversified crops, but the upward tendency of cotton last year will cause them to turn about and repeat past mistake of planting more cotton. Look out for bales at or cents. We know it is urged that an ex- currency would enable us to sell even this big crop at a fair price and the point is made that merchants will not credit planters unless they plant a good deal of cotton- But we have no expansive currency, and pressure of pub- opinion must be brought to bear upon the merchants. If the farmers are not encouraged to diversify their crops, they will soon be so despondent that they will sell or give away their farms and go West or flock to the towns. Even at great sacrifice and it is better to turn over a new leaf right now. If the farmers will not plant less cotton, let them at least produce more bread and meat. That cure of Geo. W. Turner, of Gal- way, N. Y., of scrofula, by Hood's was one of the most remark- able on record. Every Man A Capitalist.

The Reflector has no scruples against distributing subscription receipts during Court week. If you bring along a dollar next week you can get a whole year's reading for it. There is more money in raising corn at a barrel than there is in cotton at cents a pound. Farmers make a note of this, and if you want cotton to be even lower than cents next fall put in a big crop of it this season. An insurance inspector who was through here last week examining the buildings on which his company has is- sued policies, pail the REFLECTOR boys a compliment upon the cleanliness of the office, said he rarely sees a printing office as neat as ours. Poor Fanning. We heard a farmer complaining the other day that corn was high. That the cake. Corn Is one thing that every farmer ought to have plenty of and feel good when it will bring a big price. That is Just the cause of the trouble with so many farmers to-day, instead of raising such supplies as need on their farms they have to go else- where for them. Any man who has go off of his farm to buy corn and hay and meat ought to be made to pay high prices for them. Raise these things at home and be sellers of them instead of buyers. What would you think of a grocery mer- chant who went to some other dealer to buy all the groceries he uses In his own family What would you think of a buggy manufacturer who went to some other factory whenever he wanted a buggy for his own use Such actions on their part would be just about as reason- able as a farmer going somewhere else to buy everything he needs and should raise his farm. Plant a big cotton crop this year to the exclusion of food crops and yon will hear more complaint next win- about corn and meat being high than you have heard the past season. TO THE LIVING WHO WEEP.

We have another slight decline in the cotton market this week under the con- of dull foreign markets and the dread of increasing acreage. New York contract market has been nervous and unsettled. The demand has been limited and this together with the prospects for a big crop this year has de- pressed values. The market closed ten to eleven points lower this week than last week. Liverpool market has shown a slight since the Lancashire strikes were settled yesterday but It is not prob- able that we will see better prices until after Easter, on the contrary we may have lower prices.

Give four more large prize houses for the next season we will let up on this until another year. Capt- Paces leaf tobacco the Advance adds another and interesting feature to that already wide awake sparkling journal. The Wilson tobacco market owes its success to the interesting efforts of Ed Pace, and if Greenville had a few such men we would soon have the big- market in the State. Sup pose you come down Capt. we will give you more elbow room, better background and hence more to talk about. Mr. Wesley T. Mangum one of the pioneer buyers of the Green- ville market, says that he is great preparations for the nest season on this market. Al- though he has not been the buyer here nor paid the high- est prices for fancy tobaccos, yet he desires credit for the straight forward course that he has always taken in defending and support- the Greenville market.

STRONG A BUSINESS VIEW OF FUTURE. There is no town within the borders of North Carolina that has a brighter prospect of future than Greenville. Situated as it is in the western part of the eastern or tide-water belt renders its climate delightful and healthy. Its soft and genial atmosphere is often compared to the climate of Northern Italy and Eastern whose balmy and sunny shores are annual resorts of numbers of our rich American tourists. The rich alluvial lands by which it is surrounded makes it one of the finest agricultural and truck- sections in the world. The of soils with which nature has so abundantly blessed this section of our State presents a advantage in the of crops. Almost any pro- duct that is grown throughout the United States, tobacco, cotton, corn, wheat, oats, peas, sweet and potatoes and all kinds of garden vegetables and fruits can be successfully grown anywhere and in any direction in a radius of ten miles of Greenville. For a number of years the only means of transportation available to the people of Greenville and surrounding country was a line of steamers that connected with Nor- folk Va., but within the last four years the Scotland Neck branch of the W. W. R- R- has been built and now it connects with all points north and south and is within twenty-four hours ride of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The North Carolina Experiment Station is doing much for this sec- of the State in the way of dis- tributing grasses and stock farming. Until a very few years ago the farmers of this sec- depended only on cotton as their source of revenue, while now they are becoming more dent in the cultivation of tobacco, truck, ac. and in the production of most of their articles of home con- such as meat, flour, corn Another, and one of the most important features in connection with the future progress of Green- ville is the fact that the tobacco market that is being es- here is bringing the farmers and their trade from a number of counties that formerly Greenville has not been reaching. For an instance there are a of farmers who will this year plant heavily of tobacco from near in Craven county. They all have been selling their tobacco in Greenville. They com- here and being impressed with the market will of coarse con- and this year will sell largely on this market- Now if the mer- chants here are men and care anything about the success trade of their town they will establish a trade with these farm era and hence do that much more business that has formerly been TOBACCO LIKED BY SOLDIERS. Sir Evelyn Wood in his report on the recent military at as summarized by Captain John Lancet- says that there was less smoking in the ranks on the line of march than in the previous year, with the result- advantage that fewer men fell out. He appears to be in favor of regulating the quality as well as the quantity of tobacco smoked by the soldier. By far the larger number of soldiers in all armies smoke. During the Franco Ger- man war one of the first things the German soldiers sought was tobacco. The loss of his pipe is keenly felt as a real deprivation by the military and civilian smoker green- alike, and there is no gilt more valued the inmate of a work- house or lunatic asylum than to- Without entering into the pros and cons of the tobacco it cannot be doubted that the immoderate use of the strong kind of tobacco which soldiers affect is often very injurious to the very young soldiers- It them nervous and shaky, gives rise to palpitation, and is a factor in the production of the irritable or so-called and tends to impair the appetite and digestion- It would be a great point gained if soldiers could be induced to smoke some of the milder kinds of tobacco and we do not see why these should not be sold in canteens. The soldier fortunately prefers the strongest, because it is cheaper, inasmuch as a small quantity produces an effect that would only result from the consumption of a much larger quantity of any of the milder kinds. On active service it would be a good plan for the government to supply the soldier with tobacco of the latter sort, either at a free issue or at a trifling charge- was obtained from the dwarf tribes inhabiting the and forests, near the equator. To make the pipe the little people take mid rib of the banana leaf, which is cellular, by pushing a long, hard river reed through the rib, they are enabled to get the bore required for the pipe stem- They plug the lower end with clay, and rolling up a section of banana leaf into a tiny cut a in the stem and insert it for bowl, the sap in the green leaf preventing its the tobacco bums. This pipe recalls the bowl made from a potato and the stem made out of a piece of twig from which the pith has been driven, which was employed by many American sol- during great war.

Having put the land in nice lay off the rows with a shovel three feet three inches apart, and follow drilling along the furrow, a good at the rate of some two hundred and fifty to four hundred pounds per acre, according to the natural strength of the soil and the of manure previously applied, then follow with one-horse turning plows, lapping four furrows on the fertilized trench, and when finished in this manner your lot is ready to be planted when the beds have been with hoes, with two feet ten inches apart to make points for setting the plants. In the older portions of the fine yellow tobacco country the applications are becoming heavier from year to year, some planters using as much as six pounds to the acre- New ground, or old field, that has grown up and been cut down will require different preparation from the old smooth land. But on the former our best brights are raised Any preparation, that will put the soil in fine condition, clear off roots, and trash, is all that is required. Experience teaches that if land is cut down two or three years to its being prepared for to- it greatly facilitates the preparation and helps its fertility. Much of the vegetable material, both in and upon the soil, rote, the roots break easily and the oil is altogether lighter and finer. R. L.
