A Useful Novelty. A novelty seen at recent sale of fancy work was a broom cover to be used in dusting down walls and ceilings. It was made of linen, the shape of the broom itself, and was really an inverted bag when adjusted. After it was drawn hack over the broom shirr strings held it close where the joined the sprints. As it was made entirely of washables, braid and linen, it was very suitable for and an improvement in me and usefulness over the which most housekeepers wind about a broom for the same office. THE His Ways Were and His Ravages Terrible. Ghastly White, Hairless and Blind, But His Were of In India. The great hoot Demon, de- scribed by Colonel in his narrative of adventures in India, was a tiger whose ways were as mysterious as his ravages were terrible. He could never be bagged. He killed every native or European who tried it This had never been seen, and as he never mangled a body, but only sucked the blood through an orifice made over the jugular vein, the terror the great Demon inspired is not surprising. He never forced a door, yet he got into house after Two sub- went out for him and the next day were found dead like all the rest.

Hints to Housekeepers. Slatting should never be washed with anything but salt and water a pint of salt to half a pailful of soft water moderately warm. Dry quickly with a soft cloth. Twice tho season will probably be sufficient washing for a bedroom, but a room much used will require it somewhat oftener. A useful addition to the laundry belongings is a laundress apron, for the benefit first, of the woman who takes the work from the lines, and incidentally for the who pays for the clothes-pins. This should a strong garment of ticking or denim, with tho front turned up more than halt and stitched into a Into this pocket tho pins may be dropped and saved.

When Mahmud Pasha Bias, Governor of the Suez Canal, mar- the daughter of tho late Pasha the other day, his father, Pasha, celebrated the occasion with a magnificence truly oriental. According to the published reports, no such splendid marriage entertainment has been given En Cairo for many years. Two thousand invitations were issued, tho name of every person being in the handwriting of himself. The of guests present at the four banquets which were given was about and included besides tho Ministers and chief official per- past and present, of lower rank, the members of the diplomatic body, and a large gathering friends, acquaint- neighbors, servants and poor. The dining-room consisted of an enormous tent, v yards long by wide. This was lighted by 1,500 Venetian terns, 1.600 clusters of candles, magnificent gas and lanterns, lamps and electric lights. Tho dinners consisted of two ices, one European, the other Arabic. After marriage the European guests were entertained at a feast which cost Evidently is still corn in Egypt Corsets for the Foot. The latest atrocity in the inter- of beauty is a corset for the foot, and it is no longer logic to deride the Chinese for tight ban- iron bands and other de- vices designed to keep the feet ab- normally small.

American women as a rule have feet small enough to be beautiful, and there seems but little reason in so many of them suffering from corns, bunions and the other evils which result from crowding their feet into shoes a size too small.

THE REFLECTOR. Greenville, N. C. Editor and Proprietor WEDNESDAY. APRIL at th- at Greenville T. C, as second-class mail matter. HALF CENTURY AGO. Solicitor Woodard brought with him to Greenville last week a lit- curiosity in the shape of an old paper that he was showing his friends and permitted to exam- it. The paper was a copy of the Register and North Carolina Gazette dated June 10th, 1845- Weston R- Gates was editor and the piper had then been es- forty-sis years. This copy contained an account of the annual commencement of the of North Carolina. The graduating class consisted of E. Barnett, Joseph J- B- Charles Bruce, Peter G- Burton, Ralph P. Buxton. Sam- S. Calvert, Samuel S. Thomas F. Davis, Edward E. L. Dusenbury. Alexander B. Hawkins, James J- Herring, Eugene J- Hinton, Owen D. Holmes. Pleasant A. Holt, H. O. W. Hooker, H. Ivy, Frederick D. Langdon C Manly, Richard H- Mason, Thomas C Mcllhenny, William T- Mebane, Alexander D- Moore, Lucien H. Sanders, Reuben C. Shorter, F. Slake, Jesse P. Smith, Dewitt C Stone, George V. Strong, J. Sumner, Leonidas Taylor, Sam- D. Thomas E. Upon each one of these the A- B- degree was confessed. The A. M. degree was conferred on Willis W. Alston, of South Carolina, David A. Barnes, Robert R, Bridgers. Francis T. Bryan, cf West Point Military Academy, H- Lewis, J. William S- Mullins, Thomas Ruffin, of Missouri, Albert Shipp, Joseph T- Cal- H. Wiley, Charles P Heart well, of Virginia, Jeremiah W. and J. Randolph Clay, Secretary of Legation at St Petersburg. The degree of LL. D. was con- on Willie P- Mangum of the S- Senate, a graduate of the class of 1815; on John T. Mason, Attorney General of the United States, a graduate of the class of 1816; and on James K. Polk, President of the United States and a graduate of the class of 1818. The paper had many other very interesting things in it mat- current the State and nation- It also had a sketch of the military services performed by Guilford Dudley, then of the town of Halifax, during the War, with several letters to him written in 1781. This sketch was copied from the Literary Messenger. The entire two outside pages of the Register was filled with the patronage of that department extending over several States. The price of the paper was a year, half payable in ad- Hon. Bayard of Dela- ware has been appointed to Great Britain by Mr. Cleveland. He is the first man that ever held tank or title from the United States to a foreign country. He was appointed under a law passed by the last Congress. No appointment, with perhaps the exception of Mr. has given such universal satisfaction. There is not a purer politician in America than F. Bayard and Mr. Cleveland has done himself honor in appointing him to the position, possibly the best within his gift. Having been Secretary of State under Mr. Cleveland's former administration he is peculiarly fitted for the to which he has been appoint- ed. Hon.

Editor Reflector low space in paper for this. I've been conducting a revival in the A. M E. Zion Church for weeks, and closed on Wednesday night April 5th. We believe that there was much good accomplish- ed. There were sixty-two and fifty accessions, and we g i have baptized twenty -nine to this writing. Now to continue our l series of meetings so long created some extra expenses and I want to thank the members of other e churches and citizens of the town for their liberal contributions. There were several of the white citizens of the town, both gentle- men and ladies that came to our church during the meeting, and allow me to say of course is much to the credit of your grand town and its I have never met a better behaved gathering of white people in my life than those that attended our meeting proved to be. And I want to thank them through the columns of your paper, the paper that reflects the rays of sound truth and intelligence in Eastern North Carolina, fr their liberal contributions when called for they gave willingly. Yes, thank you, my white friends, and may the blessings of heaven smile on you. I've long claimed that there is a feeling of friendship that existed between the Southern whites and colored that no one could account for but themselves, and on every that truth writes upon the wall of and misguiding theories and writes upon the wall of strife and social equal- for I. want this world to know that the better class of color- ed people don't want any social equality. Social equality is con- to God's word. Search the Scriptures and you will see it. You will find cracked-brain color- ed people now and then, as you will cracked-brain whites, that want anything they do not need, but these are not the better class of either race. P. W. Williams.

The County Records. Last week Register of Deeds Harding called the attention of the County Commissioners to the fact that so many record books accumulated his office as to over crowd the provision made for keeping them properly arranged, and about thirty volumes have to lay piled about on the tables. He suggested to the Board that they have the partition removed between his office and the room in the rear of it and make additional arrangements for the proper keeping and handling of the books. It is a good and we hope the Board will early take some action in the matter. The records of the county should at all times have special attention, and too much care to their preservation can hardly be given. If a suitable fireproof vault could be built in which to store them it would be all the better for the county. Appointments by the Bishop of Carolina. April Wednesday, Stonewall, Pam- County.

TOBACCO DEPARTMENT. TOBACCO JOTTINGS ND LOCAL NOTES. Mr. R. W. Royster says that Eastern North Carolina is the to- belt of the world. Big, preparations are being made by the buyers here for hand- ling all of the next crop. All that is needed is prize rooms. The property owners here had better keep their eyes open to the factory It is within their power to ace the value of their property per cent, and also keep oar countrymen from to other towns to seek em- the benefit of whose labor the property owners would control. Mr- W. T. loft for his home in Oxford last week- Mr. Mangum has been on the Green- ville market since it fit opened and as we have said before this, while he has not been the largest buyer nor paid the largest prices for tobacco, yet he has been of great service to the Greenville market- Everyone here regrets his departure. He will be back again in the fall- Mr. J. S. Jenkins came to our place last fall almost an entire stranger in the town. He bought prudently and carefully for his man and by his straight forward course he has not only secured for himself the very best orders for this market another season he can get a prize but he has won the highest esteem of the people here in bis judgment of tobacco they have the utmost confidence- Mr. Alex formerly of Joyner left last week for New York City. Whether he to make it his home or not the National Cigarette and co Company will decide. He says that he has had a splendid offered him by ft firm but prefers coming back to Greenville with the National Cigarette Company's order. It is to be hoped that the order will be secured and Mr. re- turn to our midst The entire business part of the city of Va. is in ashes. Only three houses on main street escaped the flames. The lire it is supposed started from a stove in dry goods store on main street and it was thought to have been but soon it was discover- ed in the adjoining buildings and once started the wind fanned the flames whole block was destroyed- The loss is estimated at about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars only about half of which was insured- The American Tobacco Company lost one quarter of a million pounds of tobacco valued at This was insured. is the former home of Mr. E. W- W notice that several new establishments will soon begin operations in Greenville. We are glad to see anything start ed here that is for the of the town yet we ore forced to look at this matter just as it The merchants of Greenville ore absolutely dependent on the of their goods upon the farmers in the country and there j are enough establishments of this kind now to fully supply tho de. Of course there is always room on top but he who by and industry is fortunate enough to reach that coveted pi in the mercantile business at this time in this town will witness the failure of less fortunate in the same For those who have money to invest would it not be to place it in something t I draw people to the town thereby increase the demand for groceries, dry goods and all other kinds of mercantile commodities. Aside from the rail road employ- at the depot and the wharf I hands at the boat landing what other public business e the I leaf tobacco business offers any i steady employment to the scores f idle hands that have in our town. There is no question of doubt about it grading the matter down to facts and figures. These people who are idling away their time here on the streets have got to live. Air and light are elements to life yet these alone will not sustain the body. Mr. J. T. Abrams was in our office a few days ago told us that be was preparing to move his family to Rocky Mount to get employment for himself family in the cot- ton factory there. Why is it Oh why is it that Greenville can't have a cotton factory, a tobacco factory and a factory There is plenty of raw material here to sustain any of and aside that it would increase the business of every man in town by bringing people from just as Mr. Abrams is going to Rocky Mount to seek employment Why remain in the same moss covered ruts that our forefathers left us when the e is so many op- open to the and development of new in- and new enterprises that would make our town with the polish of increasing prosperity. THE HOME PAPER. It Should Have the United Support of the Home People. COMMUNICATED. Ed Tobacco Department those who are thinking of invest- their means in the mercantile business here would stop and think how much more could be made in that business if some- thing could be tar to give em- to the numbers of idlers that we have here with no visible means of support. Give us some factories prize houses and put these people to work- They will increase your trade by buying their necessaries from you- We have been doing we along this line for some time and have not despaired yet. If we can only get a few more in- we shall feel that our efforts are not in vain. Will be glad to hear from again. Tin, The American Tobacco Com- has just lost worth of tobacco and in New York.

A man should always get the best in the newspaper line, but where a man can not really afford to take more than one paper, we say in all candor that one should be his home paper, whether it be or weekly. e mean what we say. A man's first duty is to build up and the enterprises which to the growth of tho of which he is a part and of all the enterprises the local news- paper is the best; no town can en joy prosperity without a paper loyally sustained by appreciative citizens. There is not a weekly per in the smaller towns of this State which has the patronage it deserves. With few exceptions the testimony of the editors is that they are working their labor is treat and its rewards small- weekly news- paper does more for a town than any other agency. If the citizens are wise they will stand by their editor and second all his efforts to enlarge the in- of his newspaper; and just here let us say another word to subscribers who assert that they can take one newspaper only. Newspapers are now published at rates which are within the reach of all, we do not believe there is a man in any kind of business who is not fully able to pay for two or more newspapers. The press is a great educator, and on line alone his money would be well invested. The more pi- with which he surrounds him- self, the greater will be the fits derived. But the on, for reasons given, repeats that if there be a ma who is too poor to patronize any other than his home paper, that is the paper for his money, and fortune increase his store. The Palace of an Empress. The costly palace which the Em- press of Austria has had con- at Corfu to gratify her whim for a new home is one of the most luxurious as well as one of the most curious buildings in Europe. It is a reproduction on an enlarged scale and with modern appliances of one of the patrician dwellings of Pompeii. The on the walls, illuminated by incandescent electric learns half- hidden in the foliage of the friezes, represent scenes from the logical legends relating to Achilles, on the walls are inscribed pro- verbs and apothegms, some of them borrowed from Lord ton's works. The furniture is strictly in design. Woman's Matrimonial Chances A woman's chances to marry at from fifteen to twenty age is said to be 1-2 per From twenty to twenty-five the chance is increased to per cent; from twenty-five to thirty it to from thirty to thirty-five, to 1-2 per cont From thirty-five to forty the chances of an unmarried woman sink to 3-5 per cent.; from forty to forty-five a still further is seen, her chance being but 1-2. From forty-five to fifty the old maid's chance of it- ting a husband is but 3-8 of per cent., while from fifty to she is supposed to have but 1-4 of per cent, of a chance. It should, however, be added that the table of averages does to widows. Accurate statisticians, who would not be caught in a mis- take for the world, affirm that a widow of age has at least seventy-six spinster drawing pow- and some place her figure up to eighty-two. The widow s chances at any age are, therefore, seventy-six to eighty-two times better than that of a spinster. Cheap Gowns. Very elegant and by no means means costly tea gowns can be made of the light summer ma- and silks purchased at the sales, for fabrics too bright and too much out of date for general wear make up effectively in these accommodating little dresses in which the union of two or three fabrics lends charm to their never- failing attractiveness, and even the brocades and textiles designed for house decoration may be em- ployed with perfect confidence in a pleasing result to the wearer an d observer alike. A pretty woman is never so pretty as when robed in the dainty grace of the tea gown, and a plain one is so attractive that even the most cynical critic forgives her for not being beautiful. d by Green, to mil.
