This Office for Job Printing THE PARTING HOUR. The following exquisite poem, the Portland Evening Commercial, was written by the late Edward Pollock, the gifted California poet, en the 6th of January, 1857. It was given by the poet to a friend who was to de- part on a steamer for Oregon, Pollock this; you may perhaps read and appreciate the sentiment long after I have to be among the There's something in the parting hour Will chill warmest heart Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends, Are fated all to part; But this I've many a pang Has pressed it en my mind one who goes is happier Than those lie leaves behind. No matter what the journey be, Adventurous, dangerous, far, To the wild deep or black frontier, To solitude or war ; Still something cheers the heart that dares In all of human kind, And they who go are happier Than those they leave behind. The bride goes to her husband's home With and with But does not hope her rainbow spread Across her cloudy fears Alas the mother who remains. What comfort can she find But this, the gone is happier Than one she leaves behind. Have you a f a comrade dear An old and valued friend Be sure your term of sweet concourse At length will have an end And when you part you will O, take it not unkind, If he who goes is happier Than you he leaves behind God wills it so, and so it Is ; The pilgrims on their way, Though weak and worn more cheerful are Than all the rest who stay; And when at last, poor man subdued, Lies down to resigned, May he not still be happier far Than those he leaves behind r STATE NEWS Things Mentioned in our State Ex- changes that are of General Interest The Cream of the News.

AS A In the New York Herald of last Sunday was a strong article by Amelia E. Barr, upon the over-use of alcoholic stimulants by ed women of the they whip their flagging energies with and are thus made to that the dance or dinner which seemed to be impossible is and thus little by little they are led beyond their own control. We make a It must be allowed that the conditions under which the terms of fashionable hard labor are carried on in their seasons are full of temptations to the use of stimulants. The heated, vitiated atmospheres of ball rooms, the late hours, the overloaded from feasts of many courses, the numerous engagements fol- lowing one another in ceaseless these things clamor for artificial aid. But the usually taken under such circumstances only jogs the nerves, and invites the use of some stronger liquor to quiet them- Stimulants cannot create strength, and a dose of wine that makes a tired woman feel that gives her and is bought by such paralysis of the nerves as disorders her and such weakening of the brain as dulls her moral senses. We pass by the discussion of other evils, the natural result of fondness for drink in to the following paragraph which is the meat of Mrs. Barr's Other fashionable faults may be condoned, may admit of may be thrown off by exercise of will, or dropped be- cause they have but the increase of draw- room drinking attacks society in its most vital part.

Personally they have more will power to resist the domination of alcohol and socially their influence and example as slaves to it is far less integrating. It is groat truth that vice in a woman is more of a crime then the same vice in a man. For in social manners and customs con- duct is more then law, men are the autocrats of conduct and custom. If, then, women should ever make certain vices tolerable would no bar- left against them, and the influx of many secondary passions would be natural and certain- A drinking woman is a social of the worst type, and the idea is so shocking that it requires an effort of the will to plate her. This discussion may well excite interest and occasion alarm. For- there is no need, within the range of the Observer's for present application of the warning given in the quotations, but it may warn against the entering wedge, the beginning of the social vice. A man drunkard is an object for pity or contempt A woman drinker is a monster, and the greater her station the greater monster. It is said that women should over make vices tolerable there would be no barrier left against None whatever. They are in larger degree than the Bible or the Church the conservators of our civilization, for, should they set themselves against Bible and Church, the one would be closed and the other fall to pieces. That they may not do so they must be guarded from those vices which would lead the n to do so. In them is centered everything that lifts civilization above that of the Hottentots, and thus all that makes life worth living. Men, therefore, should be no less interested than women themselves in guarding the citadel, and there is a double curse awaiting the man who the to his neighbor's if that neigh- be a Ob- server. THE MAGAZINE. Leading railroad officers, about miles of Southern roads, discuss South and in January issue of the Southern States magazine, and tell of the promising outlook for a great Southward movement of well-to- do Northern and Western farmers. Nearly every road reports a large increase in the received about opportunities afforded by the South, and there are many reports that the tide of is turning to the South in a way that would scarcely have been deemed possible a few years ago. great movement is just at the right time, for, as shown by an article on Eco- Change in Southern Farm- the agricultural interests of the South are nearer on a cash basis than since the war. In this article it is shown how Southern farmers have gradually changed from the system of raising all cotton on credit and buying their foodstuffs to a cash basis pro- at home their corn bacon, thus saving to the South the millions of dollars that have heretofore annually gone West for food supplies for man and beast The January issue of the Southern States continues the publication of letters North- and Western farmers who have settled in the South, giving their views, based on their own experiences, as to the advantages offered by the South for farmers. These letters attracting much attention, publication is doing great good in convincing Western farmers who have never been South of attractions of this section.

Instance of Interest to Every Moth- in The Land. A professional nurse of ninny experience tells me, says a writer in Babyhood, that she finds more babies suffering from in sufficient clothing among the rich than the poor. For example, she was summoned by a physician to a wealthy family where the months-old baby was suffering from some mysterious trouble that baffled. He could keep nothing on his stomach, and was slowly starving to death. The nurse found a distracted mother and a pinched and baby. His flesh was blue, and there was a settled look of anguish on his face. The nurse picked him up from the Bilk and lace of his cost- crib, and found just what she expected.

It has already de- pressed the price of cutters it buys them now at the cost of production, and if it takes any- thing off present price, the farmers will quit raising them, as they should have done long ago LET US HAVE IT. It is amusing to read New York Herald's diatribes against an income tux. It permits j a day to pass without saying something about it and never mentions it except to characterize it as It is not inquisitorial for who fills out the blank returns for us poor white folks and niggers down hero North Carolina to get his specs up on his forehead, look us in the eyes and ask us what personal property have, what household and kitchen furniture, hogs cattle, and mules, money on band or on deposit, solvent credits, watches and jewelry, pianos, and all that; but it would very inquisitorial for the list taker in New York to ask the who wear round and high hats how much net income they enjoy. We have yet to to conclusion that the folks up there are any better than folks down here, and if we are not too good to answer questions to what have, No. It is not the farmers neither arc they. We want to see are to be hurt by an increase in tax. The trust has already ground them under its heel, and change whatever would a change for the better for them.

The time is drawing n for a final vote in the Homo on the Wilson tariff bill, and its passage by the House is now as as anything that has not actually taken place Can be. The only material amendments made to the bill during tho debate in the House were those abolishing the sugar bounty and patting refined sugar on the list. The last is believed to have been the hardest blow ever given to the sugar trust. A determined fight was made for the amendments putting a on iron ore and on coal, but they were voted down by majorities. It is not that any other i amendment will attached to the bill, unless it shall be decided to make the internal revenue bill, which includes the income tax, which has just been reported to the house, one. Several changes were made in the internal revenue bill before it was reported. Among then the The tax on cigarettes is per thousand, instead of as first prop ; petroleum is put on the free list without instead of admitted free only from countries that admit ours free; changes were made in the wording of the binding twine, condensed milk pearl button clauses; cut stones and diamonds are left as at present, and an additional tax of cents per is put on cigars.

The rulers of the miniature republic of Andorra decided recently that the j country should possess a cannon. Krupp, therefore, was ordered manufacture one of the most modern type. The great gun arrived at its mountain destination a short time ago, and was placed on the highest point in the so that tho citizens could sec that the was well protested. A day was j pointed to try the cannon, which j was able to scud a ball eighteen kilo- j meters. Just as the two artillery- j men of Andorra were ready to fire It, occurred to one of the prudent that the shot might cause trouble. The territory of the re-i public Andorra docs not extend over ; more than six kilometers. To direct . the shot, therefore, toward tho rounding mountains would be the same as firing at France or Italy, as the ball would necessarily fall on tho territory of one of these countries. A war might be tho result. It was decided to shoot the ball in the air, but someone suggested it would endanger the lives of too many in its descent, and possibly bore ft great hole in the republic of An- Good counsel prevailed and the two artillerymen were com- to unload the gun. The shot has not yet been fired, and the good republicans are uncertain what to ; do with the expensive Ocean. NEW FIRM I NEW CO OBI. new mm.

There is one thing the Town Council should put it j foot down on, and should not wait longer ladies. than next meeting to do it. There is already an ordinance prohibit the running at large of horses and mules on the streets, but this either does not cover the matter completely or else there is a gross violation of it. The stock dealers of the town, at least some of them, a of turning a lot of mules out on the streets most every day, and these with two careless on horse back go galloping all over town, taking possession of streets and sidewalks much to the danger, annoyance and fright of people on the streets. Whether this is done to give the stock ex- or as an advertisement, or both, we do not know, but it should not be allowed another day. Of course when the dealers receive a new shipment of stock they should be permitted to take them from the depot to the stables yet oven this should be under proper restrictions, but under no circumstances should any stock come out of the lot or stables less harness or held by u halt- Another thing the Reflector has been intending to of is the way vehicles are driven across the sidewalks in and out of the stables. No animal should be driven across a sidewalk faster than a walk. Again we notice that especially on public days the streets by some of the stables are with vehicles most of the day. There is already an against blockading the streets, but like some others it does not get much attention from Testimonial From the Jury. We, the Jurors in the case of State against G. F. Smith, take great pleasure in complimenting our host at Hotel Macon. Mr. Charles Skinner, for his watchful care of our comfort while at his house during court, and for the I the officers.

Wrappers have been very scare in the last three crops and hence the country is in a con- for crop of wrappers.

There seems to be a wide spread ; diversification of opinion in to the increased revenue tax on cigarettes in North Carolina- Some of our most prominent to-1 men favor an increase the tax while others equally as wise and as thoroughly I oppose it. Col. Julian S Carr we understand is for a moderate in- crease of the tax while the Dur- ham Tobacco Board of Trade or the majority of it is opposed to it- Col- Carr says he is in favor of an increase because this ad- ministration is committed to a re- vision of the tariff laws and as to- is a luxury then it should be taxed. will be brought about in a way and before the farmer is aware of it the price of cutters will have the idea and other such gush rot will be preached to him as the cause of it when in truth and in reality the price of cutters has been reduced cigarettes are sold at same price as before and the difference goes to pay the proposed increased taxes thus; again throwing the expenses the government on the planters If his bill should become a law, the two States North Carolina and Virginia will have to bear the The law does not apply to the other bee North Caro- are the only bright tobacco producing States in the Union of any importance. It is an and an unjust trick the projectors of which entertain ill feelings toward the cigarette and hope by the proposed bill becoming a law to tax them out of existence when in fact it will effect the manufacturer of cigarettes only for a short time till the manufacturers their plans and schemes and then the burden and weight will fall upon already bowed down and poverty stricken of the bright tobacco belt of North Carolina and Virginia. Planters and citizens who have the public good at heart should write their Senators and Representatives in Congress urging to do all in their power to defeat the bill because it is an iniquitous dis- against one of the leading industries of our common Statehood which when done will place thousands of North Carolina and Virginia farmers still further under the oppressing hand of concentrated monopoly.

For some considerable time, in fact since Congress first met in extraordinary session last August internal revenue tax on cigar- has been a public question of great importance to the co trade of North Carolina and Virginia. The Ways and Means; Committee has reported a bill to the House of Representatives ad- vising an increase of the internal revenue tax of one dollar per one thousand cigarettes. The pres- tax is fifty cents a thousand on cigarettes or about seventeen cents per pound and if tho new bill becomes a law the tax will be nearly three times as much as it is now which will have a ten to one or two things- Either the cigarette manufacturers will raise the price of cigarettes or decrease the price of cigarette tobacco. If the revenue from in- creased taxation had to be paid by the consumers of cigarettes than the increased taxes would not work such disaster to bright tobacco producing States but let us look plainly at the and see who will have it to pay event the bill becomes a law, the cigarette smokers or the bright tobacco growers of two States named above To-day cigarettes are sold all over the United States at one price, five cents a pack. The price is fixed and through its long standing has become so that to increase the price of cigarettes from five to ten cents a pack, the cigarette know will have a tendency to decrease the demand for goods in some sections and among certain people the smoking tobacco pouch and cigar- paper will serve the purpose and is then if there is any way to pay the increased tax- without detriment to their interest, naturally that course will be pursued and the only course left in this case, for the to make their accustomed profits is to again strike down the price of cutters sufficiently low to pay the increased taxation. This will be done for several reasons, a very important one of which the reduction in the price of cutters Ho walked into the bookstore and stopped before the Bible de- He leaned the counter and said to the rial looking them Buffalo Bill books over j Religious nun them read about wild about a feller could knock em out like John L. a feller slick Winchester, j bed the nerve to tackle bar yes.

BIRD REASONING. The Wonderful Intelligence Exhibited by Woodpeckers. A little known and striking in- stance of foresight industry ex- by a bird is that of the Cali- woodpecker. Like others of its kind, this bird is an insect eater. Yet in the view of the approach of winter it prepares a store of food of a wholly different character and ranges this with as much care as an epicure might devote to the storage of his wine in a cellar. In the summer the woodpecker lives on ants. For the winter it stores up acorns. To hold each acorn it hollows a small hole in a tree, into which tho acorn is exactly fitted, and is ready to be split by the strong beak of the climbing woodpecker, though too tightly held to be stolen either by squirrels or other birds. A relation of this woodpecker in- habits the parts of Mexico, where during the droughts it must die of starvation unless it made a store. To prevent this it selects the hollow stem of a species of aloe, the bore of which is just large enough to hold a nut. The woodpecker drills holes at intervals in the stem and it from bottom to top with the nuts, the separate holes being made for convenience of access to the column of nuts within. Tho intelligence which not only constructs a special storehouse but teaches the woodpecker to lay by only the nuts which will keep, and not the insects which would de- cay, is perhaps the highest form of bird reasoning which has yet been observed.

A large needle became in the back of tho left thigh of a Philadelphia domestic, and in three days worked itself through five inches of fleshy tissue. The woman was sewing on a Thursday morning, and it was on that day that the needle, in some strange way, must have penetrated the back of the thigh. She felt some slight pain, but was not seriously inconvenienced by it. The next day the pain seemed to shift a trifle, but she did not pay any particular attention to it until the following day, when it became so severe that in the afternoon she went to the hospital, where she complained of a sharp pain in the fore-part of the thigh. Dr. made an ex- and found the point of the needle above the surface He made a small incision and laid bare enough of the needle to permit of its being seized with a pair of tweezers and pulled out. The needle was black as ink, having been oxidized by the action of the blood. The patient recognized it, by the peculiar way in which it was bent, as the needle with which she had been sewing on Thursday Y. Ledger. DAVID GARRICK. The Great Actor Romping in the Garden with a Little Blackamoor. David Garrick, the great actor, although he had no children of his own, was passionately fond of the little ones. He was never so happy as when he was romping in the gar- den with giving them rides on his broad back or pretend- to frighten them by acting the part of a dog or a lion. And never before were there such ferocious lions and bears, never were there such wonderful proud peacocks, as those he transformed himself into. Once at a certain rich gentleman's house, to which the actor had been invited, the conversation during dinner time became too dull. The city merchants fell to talking about business, and Garrick began to feel out of place. So when every one was busy chat- ting to neighbor he slipped very quietly out of room, and went round through the garden to the back of the house. There he a little black In those days, you know, people were permitted to keep slaves. Garrick was pleased, indeed, to see such a jolly little follow, and not mat- to him in the least if that boy was only a little black servant. Down went his back and up went his head, with its three-cornered hat, while his hands behind lifted up the tails of his long, blue coat. And the next moment there he was strut- ting about the yard, the very image of a dignified old turkey-cock. gobble went Garrick, bobbing his head up and down; and round and round he strut- with his coat-tails flapping proudly behind him. And thus he was discovered when his host came out to look for the missing guest. he do so me I shall die cried the little blackamoor, holding his sides. one great turkey-cock; oh, he do make me to Garrick's big, round face was glowing with childish joy as he stopped in the middle of a loud and looked up to meet the horrified countenance of his worthy host; and sorry enough he must have felt to think that he had now to join the uninteresting company again. Ho could have played turkey- cock all day, no doubt, if he and his little black friend had been left alone Y. A RACE-TRACK FIEND. How a Child's Prayer Worked His Reformation. Peter Johnson, one of old residents, who is regarded by his friends as a race-track told the story of his to a few friends the other day as was Christmas he said; four-year-old stood by my knee in his just before being tucked into his crib, and in his infantile manner was praying to Santa Claus to bring him the treas- upon which he had fixed his heart. When he had finished, I asked the master of the house what should old Santa Claus bring papa He bowed his little head on my knee again, and innocently dear Santa Claus, please bring papa a race horse that can win That was his mother's work, I sup- pose, but it went. I bought a tree that night, loaded it down with toys the boy had asked for, and then trimmed it with the tickets that hadn't won in the races. The habit I had contracted of keeping losing tickets enabled the to reach from top to bottom; the five, three and two to one went twice around, and scarcely a branch es- caped decoration.
