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. A Lucky Song.

Of course a decision is hard to reach when it is known all the are capable and one bears just as strong endorsement as an- other. It is hard again from the fact that it is apparent from such strife that when one is appointed the disappointed applicants and their backers are going away kicking and growling- Under such circumstances as it is no wonder that the President moves slowly, and waits hope that the differences can be set- the people and become agreed on one for a position. Let a recommendation go in for an appointment and see how quickly it is acted upon. The contest in the western revenue district of this State would have been settled much sooner than it was but for the multitude and rivalry of Raleigh would have long ago bad a Democratic post- master and Wilmington a Demo- collector of customs but for the same reasons.

It was discovered that these officials were engaged in a conspiracy on a grand scale, with every promise of success, in opium and Chinese into this country against the peace and dignity of the United States.

The crime for which she was arraigned was a most atrocious one and rounded with much mystery.

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.

Think of the long, hot, cramped- up car rides Think of the utter possibility of properly prepared food, if the child is weaned. Not long ago, 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 at once, and began to did not cry at kept on yelling until the men and women making up the car's company were in open revolt, and the tired parents drooped under the withering remarks and scornful glances cast in their direction as they in turn churned the baby until their arms gave out.
