Purifying Filthy Water.
The filthy water of the River
is purified for use in Antwerp by be-
passed through revolving
containing small pieces of iron.
Fifteen pounds of metallic iron will
purify one million gallons of water.
The water thus treated is said to be
completely freed from germs, bacteria
and other objectionable matters. Eng-
and French chemists find that the
contact with iron reduces the organic
matter by from forty-five to eighty-
five per cent., and am-
by from fifty to ninety per
cent., and all free ammonia is re-
moved. The process has been
plied with success to the water of
the Delaware river in Pennsylvania.
It is simple and cheap. From all of
which it may be inferred that the
passage of drinking water through
iron pipes does not injure it.

THE EASTERN PRIDE.
last week's issue of tho Re-
I see a card from Mr. E.
A. stating that the only
objection he had to the
Pride tobacco, was that it would
not yield as much per acre as the
Hester. Now that the report has
been circulated that the seed were
saved from succors and that Mr.
Joyner had given these seed to
the public, will Mr. to
the public for their benefit to I
protect Mr. Joyner from a false
report whether or not these seed ;
were saved from succors. Mr.
Joyner's object it seems to mo i
was to give the very best seed I
planted and this report might
prove damaging to him. I have
eight acres of this kind of tobacco
that I from Mr. Joyner
and it is decidedly the best that I
have on my place. I for one am
perfectly satisfied with my crop
but as there seems to be some
dissatisfaction among
farmers it is nothing but right
that Mr. should state ex-
the kind of tobacco this
Eastern Pride is, whether grown
from succors or the original stalk.
H. F.
he has been quietly
working to put a stop to the
wholesale smuggling of Chinese
and opium by way of Puget
sound. Reports from two trusted
men sent to investigate soon con-
him that a number of the
Government officials whose duty
it was to prevent such smuggling
were in league with fie smug-
He removed a i. of
these men and appointed their
successors, but did not

public until this week, be-
cause of his desire to secure the
necessary evidence to criminally
the crooked ex officials,
fortunes are said to have
been made by the smug in
the last ten years, but Mr.
intends to see that no re are
made while ho remains i i office.
Not a few Republicans, among
then, some have
openly commended Judge
for his vigorous efforts to-
wards carrying out President
Cleveland's idea of making the
pension roll a roll of honor, and
the number is bound to increase
as the good effect of the new
become more apparent. The
most audacious Republican Con-
will hardly dare to go
on record as criticizing the
sent administration for dropping
men from the pension rolls whose
names have no right, either law
or equity, to be there, and it is
only that kind who are being
dropped.
As was expected, Col-

The detectives have worked long

which pointed to Lizzie Borden
as the murderer of father and

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington June
If there are any persons who
believe the silly stories now going
the rounds of the
press, charging that President
Cleveland and the other Demo-
leaders have abandoned all
idea of making any radical changes
in the tariff at the coming session
of Congress, they would better
begin to prepare themselves for
a great disappointment. There
has been no change in the pro-
gramme mapped out by tho Dem-
leaders before Mr. Cleve
land was inaugurated, except that
caused by the financial stringency
throughout the country, which
has given financial reform the
first place on the but
has by no means displaced tariff
reform. Ever since President
Cleveland's election he has been
discussing two reforms with
every man ho met who might be
supposed to have practical and
valuable opinions upon either,
and he has lost no opportunity to
suggestions from those
whose practical experience or
special studies have made them
tariff experts. A perfect tariff
bill has never been prepared and
probably never will be, but unless
present indications are all wrong
the tariff bill to be prepared this
winter will be nearer perfection,
from the standpoint of the
go platform, than any of its
and that it will be a
radical change from the
law is as certain as that Con-
will meet Tariff reform
and financial reform are to be the
first born children of the Fifty-
third Congress, the first for more
than thirty years to be Democrat-
in both branches while a Dem-
was President;
President Cleveland has not
and will not attempt to say what
the details of the bill for the re-
peal of the Sherman silver law
snail be. He is satisfied that the
law is a very bad one and also
that Congress will promptly re-
peal it at the extra session. He
is also satisfied that it is perfectly
safe to leave it to the wisdom of
Congress as to how this shall be
done and what other-financial leg-
shall be adopted in order
to undo the bad effect of the
Sherman law. In conversation
with a friend this week he stated
his belief that the partial
of the members of the House and
Senate by newspapers furnished
no reliable basis to estimate what
the vote on the question of re-
pealing this law be owing
to the large number of Senators
and Representatives who have
not declared how they will vote.

ORIGIN OF THE EASTERN PRIDE
Since the rainy weather
three or four weeks ago I
have heard of considerable com-
plaint among the farmers who
planted what is known as the
Eastern Pride tobacco. I am
toM that this tobacco is button-
out more generously j
any other kind of tobacco and
that Mr- said that it was
an inferior kind of tobacco and j
lots of other such talk. Now as
am the author of the name
tobacco and circulated the seed
probably more than any one else,
I deem it my duty in justice to
myself to state the fact concern
the tobacco, where how
I came to get it- Last summer I
went to Mr D. M. to
see his crop of tobacco, and after
showing mo a acre field of very
fine tobacco indeed he said now I
have a piece that beats anything
you have seen yet and I want you j
to see that. So we walked across j
the road and into the piece
he referred to and It was decided-
the best piece of tobacco that I
had ever seen. It would have
averaged feet high and the
leaves were completely lapped in
the middles between the rows.
Mr. Edwards will bear me out in
this statement I expressed my-
self that I had never seen any-
thing to beat it in my life and
asked him what kind of tobacco
for the packages just to have tho
pleasure of giving them away. I
had a half bushel that I raised
myself that I could have given
away at considerable less expense.
My object was to improve the
quality of Eastern North Carolina
tobacco but if in this one instance.
If I have erred I believe the
thinking people will charge
it as a mistake not as an intention
on my part. O- L.

writer in Harper's when
speaking of a trip to the world's

on an eastern-bound train, there
chanced to be as passengers on one
of the sleeping cars a young father,
a younger mother, and a baby so
very much younger than both that
it made one think of a poor little
newly-hatched canary. The mother
and father were very proud and fond
of the baby, and kept dancing it and
talking to it and feeding it all
the time, and it bore the constant
and unremitting attention brave-
and silently for hours; but
as the day grew late it pave out all

the men and women making up the
car's company were in open revolt,

the withering remarks and scornful
glances cast in their direction as they
in turn churned the baby until their
arms gave out. It chanced that
among the passengers there was a
woman who was proficient in the
tongue, and her heart was
touched as she translated the follow-

And this woman went over and took
the baby out of its tired
arms, and she gave it some
pellets, and it liked them. And she
cuddled the baby close and warm, as
only a mother can cuddle such a tiny,
restless thing, and she soothed it
with the whispered sweet nothings
that babies love, until the little head
began to nod, and the fringed cur-
closed over the tired blue eyes,
and the tired mite was fast asleep
on her shoulder. Didn't that woman
