A Curious Instance of the Revelations of Handwriting. expert telegrapher can ways be told by his said an operator the other day. matter how different th writing of expert operators may b, there is a similarity that can always be dis- by a fellow manipulator of the keys. It seems that are certain muscles of the hand capable of quicker motion than the others. A telegrapher who is compelled to take down thirty to words a minute develops these muscles makes them do most of the work. So the writing of expert operators has a peculiar resemblance, which Is particularly noticeable to persons who follow the business. A tel- is compelled to adopt a different style of writing from that usually taught in schools. In the latter beauty is what is most de- sired; in the case of the telegrapher, he must have speed, and great speed, too, or he will be thrown aside. The other day a fellow operator myself saw a postal card. I had only glanced at it when I remarked that it was tbs writing of a man who had once been a telegraph operator. My companion agreed, and further suggested that he had received his education n a railroad office, inasmuch as he dated his postal In the right-hand corner, whereas a commercial operator always writes the date In the left-hand corner, as the blanks are mode In that form. Yes, and he has been a bookkeeper; for, although the figures in the table given were written hastily, they were written on perfect lines, added my friend. This all came from our noticing the class distinction In the writing of a telegrapher. As there was no name signed to the postal, it merely giving a list of shipments, we were anxious to find out whether our judgment correct. We asked the man who received It who had written it. He gave the name of a now prominent business man who began life as a messenger In a railroad office, then become a next was given a position of trust where bookkeeping was one of his duties, finally launching out for himself in a line entirely foreign to railroading or bookkeeping. The characteristics that had crept Into his writing during his early training were still visible. We guessed the history of the man from his writ- Dispatch. ON A A Young Couple's Experiences on the Jersey Coast. The experiences were those of a young girl In this city. Her first name is Madge. Her father has a summer cottage on the coast. Last August James a worthy young man a friend of Madge's brother, came from his home and business at New Orleans to spend two weeks at the cottage. It was the night before he was to depart that he and Madge strolled down the beach after supper. The large family in the cottage grew an- angry and sleepy in turns as the hours struck and the two failed to return. Finally everybody went to bed. Meantime Mr. had de- his passion for Madge reg- terms, and they sat blissful- together on a big log, the waves lapping softly almost at their feet. The damp fog rolling the sea finally awoke them to the harrowing fact that it was late. Then they hurried back to the dark and silent house. Jim went home tho next morning and Madge took a boo and went and sat on the big log all day. She sat there the next day, also, with the book, and the day after that. She was badly sunburned, and the sun didn't become her; but, then, who was there to look nice for, anyway A big storm arose, and disaster came. The log was swept away by the rolling waves. Madge was in- consolable. Then a miracle inter- In behalf of true love. The winds and waters brought back the log, and Madge found it o i the beach. She promptly hired a team of and had the precious tree hauled up far beyond all wandering tides and dashing seas. Then Jim came again. He had the log sawed in two. One-half he sent to New Orleans, and cheerfully paid thirty-one dollars and cents In express charges. He has It in his room In this city. Her father had to have tho floor strengthened, and the men swore frightfully getting the thing Y. Tribune. Prevented the Duel. The mayor of a small village in Germany has discovered an effectual way of stopping among the hot-headed citizens of place. A few weeks ago two physicians quarreled at a public dinner and challenged one another to fight with pistols. Tho village chief heard of the quarrel. He in- formed the village fireman, and to- drawing a machine, they proceeded to the lonely spot in the woods where the encounter was to take place. Just as the seconds had stepped off the distance a heavy Stream of water struck one of the physicians in the neck. A moment later the second doctor drenched to the skin also. The would-be fighters, In their clothes, looked so ridiculous that they both burst out laughing, shook hands and returned to their homes, thanking mayor for hie But the Mississippian the Value of Two Pairs of Aces. When Gov. Lowrey of Mississippi was in this city, some time ago, says the Washington Post, he very took in a few friends with whom he one evening in a friendly game of draw. The governor and a party of ladies and gentlemen were being entertained at an evening tea, and, after the menu had been dis- cussed, the gentlemen withdrew to the where cards and chips were soon produced and In use. Gov. Lowrey said he knew nothing about the game, so, while his friends tried their luck, the southern exec- remained in the parlor and en- the ladies. Later in the evening the governor drifted to the poker-room and was prevailed upon to play the hand of one of the gen- for a few minutes. As soon as the governor sat down he re- minded his friends again that he knew nothing about the game. There was a jackpot on the table which had gone around several times. Hands were dealt, the pot was opened and play passed around to the governor. Ho didn't seem to know whether to pass or not. He studied his hand for several minutes, then, showing a card, asked the man next to him whether it was a king or a jack. a king, replied the gentleman. Then the governor produced a queen and take it that this is a queen. Am I He was informed that he was, and then very deliberately putting up his money he called for one card. The gentleman who had opened the pot had three nines and failed to better his hand on the draw. He thought he hod a lead-pipe cinch on the pot and sized up the governor as having two and queens. He thought the governor had found cards like the king and queen he had shown and was drawing for a full. He was somewhat taken back when the governor raised the bet, and fearing that the governor did not know that two pair were not very good, he called his attention to the fact. go said the governor, play this out, The governor kept raising until finally the gentleman with the three nines weakened and called. Then the governor proudly laid down four aces, and everybody yelled. He. had held three aces all the time, flashed his king and queen for a bluff, then drew one card and caught another ace. The gentleman who held three nines he will never again sit in a game with a man who knows about it. A Tramp Who Succeeded in taming His Free Passage. The other morning when the freight train from the east arrived a man emerged from a car loaded with long-horned steers, says the Reno Gazette, He said that when endeavoring to secure free pas- sage on the cattle train leaving Win- the night before, one of the railroad boys said he would let him into a cattle car where he could ride as long as he wanted to keep com- with the steers. To the prise of the railroad man the offer was accepted and the tramp jumped In. He says fie rode the greater part of the one hundred and seventy- live miles between and Reno astride one of the animals, and when he got cold or tired of he stood in among them, where he found it quite warm comfort- able, and would have continued on his journey westward had it not been for hunger and the absence of any milch cows In the cars, so he got off to rustle a little grub.

How Many of Them Are Spoiled by Negligent per. The negligent housekeeper Is in- to let the take core of themselves. She leaves them at the back of the stove, where they are never cooled, and she secretly wonders why they refuse to retain the heat when she heats them again for use. Now, iron and steel possess a quality, which is per. The temper of a steel which has been repeatedly heated becomes lost, so that the In- will not retain a keen edge, no matter how carefully it is ground. New irons, which are heated to a high temperature and are cooled as soon as the user is through with them, will last for years, and the old Irons become even more valuable, providing that good core otherwise is taken of them, such as keeping them when not In use in a cool, dry place, where they are not subject to moisture or rust. If, however, they ore kept continually on the fire, they lose their temper. A certain quality departs from them, so that while they may be brought to the highest degree of heat, they will not remain hot any length of time. Such an iron is very annoying to an expert worker. that have lost their temper had really better be disposed of, as new ones cost but little. There should always be a dry shelf or closet in which to keep the irons and other articles of the laundry which require such a Y. Tribune. A NEW GUN. Light Firing Rounds a Minute. The military authorities here are still extremely reticent concerning the mechanism of the new Australian or quick-firing machine gun; but I learn that the firing trials made at the Vienna have been reported upon as highly satisfactory. The has been adopted by tho service and fully one hundred pieces are now ready for distribution. The gun Is not intended for use in the field, as In the case of the English Maxim and machine guns. The new will be mounted stationary on the outworks cling Important fortresses. It is only half the weight of the Maxim, and the average rate of dis- charge is about the hundred rounds per minute, with a maximum of three hundred twenty. The diameter of the bore is eight millimeters, being similar to that of the repeating rifle now in use In the ice. The barrel Is not In a water jacket, and twelve hundred continuous rounds can be fired be- fore It shows the effects of the ex- heat. The cartridges are supplied, as in the from a large fixed above the firing chamber. The gun is fixed by means of an ordinary trigger with trigger grip, and a recoil spring sup- plies the automatic action. But the principal point of Inter- est in respect of which the new gun entirely from the mechanism of similar weapons now in use in other countries Is the oscillating pendulum regulating the speed of fire. There ore two firing com- with the Maxim, The dis- charge is regulated by the turning of the crank handle. Tho single fire Is as the Arc from an ordinary re- rifle, while the continuous represents the most rapid discharge of which the is capable. With the how- ever, the great advantage Is gained of sustaining o moderately heavy discharge of thirty, fifty to a rounds per minute and it by means of a faster of the pendulum to three when o dangerous phase of the attack has been developed. The saving of ammunition thereby Is enormous. The mechanism Is said to be very simple, and throughout the trial no jams were recorded. The Austrian military authorities congratulate themselves on the excellence of this new Invention. PROF. PORTER.

It is a rare gift in a man to be able to talk with a college junior is two- thirds a that gift he had in perfection. How he was regarded by the dents in general is shown by an amusing reminiscence. The last touch of old-time formal- which survived in college usage was that at the conclusion of prayers and of Sunday service the president walked down the center aisle while the seniors on both sides bowed low to him. If the president happened to be absent, the professors went in the order of seniority, and the first of them received the salute.

One of the most remarkable events of the season took place recently In the lecture-room of All church. It was a of the Merchant of Venice, en- acted entirely by deaf mutes, before on audience, or, more properly speaking, spectators, composed most entirely of deaf mutes even to the ushers. Although there was a total absence of applause, the of tho spectators was not lacking, as was evidenced by their smiling countenances and nimble fingers at the conclusion of each scene. The play was presented entirely In the sign language, and, with the exception of Thomas D. who, as the clown, emitted o few guttural sounds, not an attempt was made at uttering words. So far as acting was concerned, the players showed considerable ability, and far excelled the average amateur performer. In some of tho scenes the facial expression was a study in itself, when Portia Cora came to the of mercy Is not the Intensely dramatic. Although not a sound was uttered, the flying fingers of the players and their eloquent gestures sufficient to interpret the lines even to the few spectators who were not In the secret of the mystic As Shylock, William Henry Lip- sett gave a clever rendition of the avaricious Jew, and his lines were followed with an appreciative silence. The Portia of Miss Ford was almost equally strong, while Mr. to judge from fingered comments, must have made a decided hit as A Premium on Ignorance. Because a juror looked at a coble train as it sped past him, Judge Henry granted a new trial of the five thousand dollars damage suit of Frank Jackson against the Kansas City Cable railway, in which Jock- son was recently awarded fourteen hundred dollars damages. Mr. Ash- for young Jackson, contended that if a new were to be grant- ed in suits against cable companies every time a juror happened to glance at a cable car, no verdict for the plaintiff could ever stand. He also said if a roan were so deaf, blind and stupid as not to notice passing events such as the approach of a cable train, he had no right to a place on the jury. Judge Henry held, however, that the inspection of Juror Hickman was sufficient to war- rant the granting of a new trial. Trial by jury, he said, would be a farce if jurors permitted to get information out of Star.

If twenty or thirty good men meet and take the law into their own hands and extinguish the life of one who is guilty and deserves death, how long, think it be before twenty or thirty evil men will meet, and will take the life of some one who is not guilty and who does not deserve death, but where they wish to pot out of the way or order to wreak their upon him for other and ulterior motives.

Washington, D. C, March President Cleveland has de- voted the greater part of this week, night and day. in listening attentively to arguments for and the Bland coinage bill, though it is known that he has long been a close student of the question involved- It is because of tho differences opinion among Democrats on the matter that be has been anxious to hear ail that both sides have to say. Up to last night he had not in- what disposition he would make of the bill. view of tho record of the President it is a waste of space to say that there is absolutely no foundation for the stories sent out from Washington making him a to a bargain with the silver men in Congress. They are simply sensational libels upon the President as well as upon the silver men. No man ever occupied the White House who was clearer of bargaining, either for personal or political gain, than is Grover Cleveland, and while his decision must necessarily be against the wishes of many good Democrats, it can be feet down in advance that it will be the result of his honest convictions, and there is little doubt that it will be so accepted by the Democratic party at large- Since the tariff bill was report ed to the Senate the Republicans have been making and concerted attempts to make it pear that there is formidable Democratic opposition to tho in the That the bill will be changed before it passes tho Senate is altogether probable, inasmuch as it will produce, in its present form, according to the latest estimates;, something like more than will be re- quired, and it is the policy of the Democrats only to levy sufficient taxes to raise the money to run the government. Democratic Senators who favor changes looking towards a of the revenue to the amount required will state their reasons and risk their Democratic col- leagues for their votes to make them, but it is not believed that any of them will seek Republican votes to get those changes, or will vote against the bill should the changes desired not be made- The four appropriation bills the District of Columbia, the general pension, the fortification and the passed by the House, represent a net reduction of from the total amount carried by the same bills for the current fiscal year. This shows that chairman Sayers and his Democratic col- leagues on the House committee are carrying out Democratic ideas of economy in public expenditures. Mr. J. W. who pretends to think that he has a claim of the seat now filled in the Senate by Hon. John Martin, of is in Washington, he says for the purpose of contesting Senator Martin's right to the seat, but reality merely to get a little which he hopes to be able to turn to account in Kansas in the near future. Hon. Daniel who was collector of customs at New York city during the Cleveland ad- ministration, and who has for many years been a recognized authority on the politics of his State, is in Washington. He says of is no sort of doubt in my mind that New York is a Democratic State. Occasional losses are due to local but do not affect the party as a whole. The New York De- too, stands squarely for tariff reform- There is no back- down with us on that issue. The thing now for Congress to do is to pass the tariff bill at the earliest practical date. With that out of the way, so that trade may resume its normal condition, there is no reason to be The successful trial of the teen-inch canon made at the gun shop of the Washington Navy Yard, which was made this week, at the proving grounds a few miles down the Potomac river, marks an epoch in the history of tine gun making in United States, besides establishing the wisdom of the government its own guns. Secretary Her- and a distinguished party numbering several hundred were present at the trial. Experts pro- it one of the finest guns ever made. Representative is now having his inning in the sen- trial of Miss suit against for breach of promise of marriage. He denies as to the main charges against him, and if the evidence to be submitted by him sustains his denial, as his friends believe it will, he may succeed in getting a verdict, notwithstanding the testimony of the Senator of Georgia, is dangerously ill. He was this week stricken with and his physicians have little hope of his recovery. Army is regarded in Washington as a sort of All Fools day hoax pulled before it was ripe, and nobody has the remotest idea of making any preparation for its reception, for the very reason that no one believes it will ever come here in any such numbers as its originator now about so glibly. HE LIKES GREENVILLE. Mr. J. C. Caddell, who recently visited Greenville in the interest of the Recorder, writes the following to his paper about some of our people is just coming to feel at home in Greenville. The brethren there are delighted with him as a preacher and pastor. The children, on the streets and in the homos seem to know him and love him. His congregations are large, and the interest all of the work seems to be growing. Bro. has or two preaching places the country, and ho thinks there is a bright prospect for the work this part of the Tar River Association. I am on the track of Bro. John Mitchell. He has just gone through this section in the inter- est of the Board of Education. The people here are glad he cam.-, fool more in his work than they did before they know him. W. H- a fine school for boys here. This is his best session. He has over fifty in attendance. Quite a of the boys are well advanced, and will soon be ready for college. Bro. has been a teacher. says he was born to govern boys. He is active his church, and most helpful to his pastor, and has lost none of his love for his alma mater. Wake Forest will receive some bright and promising boys from this school. L A. Sugg, who has been in bad health for several years, is well again. Ho will be by many of the brethren in the State as the brother who did so much for tho erection of the Memorial church in this place. We note with much pleasure his restoration to health, and hope he may use now more than ever the line talents ho possesses in such a marked OPPOSED TO A Editor Reflector I am truly sorry to see that yon, others, are tho subject, and a fair in county. I am not going to attempt to write an argument against all that has boon said in favor of fairs. Of course some one would financially by them. am opposed to them, I think, upon principles of true democracy good to tho greatest The people are com- plaining of hard times ; but a fair in the county would cost tho more than the State and county taxes for the year. But apart from the cost, I would oppose a fair from of if nothing else ; for, from the little knowledge i which I have of the way in they are conducted, they are mere for gambling and dissipation anyway. The people have neither money nor morals to so I think the plan is to nip the thing in its ency. I believe there is strong op- position to fairs in the county. Should this meet with a sentiment, I hope some one, better able to do the subject than myself will speak. CAROLINA STILL IN THE RING. Dar met Saturday, March 24th, at store- It was our to be present.

He is a real product, not the off-spring of a pure whim, and is perhaps as little likely to be laughed off the stage as he is disposed to be off it- He is an agricultural product; inasmuch as he is born of farm- grievances. He is also an industrial product; for he is a by- result of a which has sin- out certain industries for paternal care whilst leaving farm- to bear the burdens without compensation. He is, at the same time, a plutocratic product; having been indoctrinated into the idea that money, not property is wealth, and that the less money real wealth the better is it. He is a political product; in the sense that, having con- that neither of the historic parties are to be entrusted with the care of his interests, he thinks it necessary to have a new party. He is a socialistic product; for, having discovered that the Slate manages what it undertakes very indifferently, he therefore con- that the true remedy is to have it do everything. He is also a railroad product, for, living on the outermost limits of he discovers that he has to pay more for getting his pro- ducts to market than and therefore must have relief either by the railroads carrying at a loss, or by the government becoming the owner of them and fixing rates on the principle of sectional conciliation Still, as have said, the Pop- is a genuine product of the times; whatever may be thought of his strangely up, his must be held responsible for his existence and his faults.

He showed a perfect familiarity with the names of the President, Governor of our State, the largest cities in the United States and the world, and give him the name of any prominent town in North Carolina and instantly he would tell what county it is in.

During the past week Mr. sermons were just as strong, clear and powerful as those reported in our last is sue. He not to de- the whole counsel of and spared sin in no particular. He preached twice each day and at nearly every service there were a few professions and some re- quests for prayer. He said that the devil seemed to have a strong- hold on Greenville than any town he had visited. Really it- did seem that the devil had com- his forces to bring all the resistance possible to bear on the progress of the work. But Mr. continued to preach with all his and together with the handful of Christians who were helping him prayed constantly to God for an outpour- of the Holy Spirit. Friday night the ice was broken.

Prior to that night there had hardly been more than twenty all told, but before that vice closed fully as many others were happy through their acceptance of the Savior. Among these profession were a number who had been the acknowledged leaders of sin in the community. Right there lost his footing and the victory was for Christ. As soon as these found Jesus they immediately after their friends and companions and through them others wore brought to the fold.

Sunday night there were many more professions. At the Monday morning several of the converts arose and testified to what Jesus had done for them. It was a joyous meeting. Monday night the series of meetings closed. While every- body regretted that Mr. School- field was to leave, he prayed so earnestly for the guidance of the Holy Spirit that all were con- strained to believe that God him in making the decision. His closing sermon was upon of conversion and every Christian in the house was en- by his words. He asked that all those present who had made any profession during the series of meetings and felt that they had any of these evidences of conversion, come forward give him their hand. A large In all there wore about seventy-five and reclamations. It was the greatest revival Greenville has ever had. Mr. then made a very talk to the con- instructing them in their duties, and also spoke some ten- words to those who were in- in their souls salvation yet were resisting the influences calling them to repentance. Rev. G- F- Smith, pastor of the dist and Rev. J.

Mr. Smith announced that would be services Tuesday night that Mr. would preach- Mr. said he had of meetings on his and now he wanted to close the same way. The congregation joined him in prayer and he lifted his in to God for what He had helped him do here. He mention- ed the name of all the pastors in town and asked Divine blessing upon the work committed to their charge He prayed for the choir, for the new converts, for the for everybody, and closed with the benediction.

The music pleased him, and had the preacher been a good talker and chosen a theme somewhere up with the times there is no telling what the result might have been in regard to this rather black sheep who had strayed so far from the fold. As it was, the sermon was rather dull and the gambler soon let his roam from his present and began forming plans of an entirely Worldly character. It was during this fit of abstraction that the ushers passed the plates. Down the aisle whore the stranger sat came one of them, and as ho drew near the gambler noticed that the people were placing coins of various denominations upon the plate.

One of the oldest, if not tho very oldest, men in America lives in a little shanty on the banks of tho river at City, Mo., ac- cording to the Cincinnati Gazette. Ho is a and his name is Richard Hoops. According to the statements of Hoops, which arc well supported by accessible records, he was born in Chatham county, N. C, December 1770, and thus has completed his 1231 year. Born a slave he was taken to Missouri by his owner, John P. Harden, while a mere boy. A few years later he was sold to the, man whose name be now bears, and lived with him near Vienna, until the emancipation of the slaves. Since that time he has lived at Westphalia, but for the last years has made his home at City. Hoops is remarkably well pro- served, and lives alone in his shanty. He fishes a great deal for the big catfish that frequent tho waters of the and is never happier than when he can catch a big one and makes soup of its head. He is still able to do some work, and it was only a few years since that he contracted with a farmer in the vicinity of his home to remove tho stumps and roots off a newly- cleared tract of land. He fulfilled his contract, doing all the work him- self. His mind is still clear on many of the events that happened toward the close of the last century, and he recalls with great pride that he once held the horse of Gen. Greene, of revolutionary fame. In appearance Hoops resembles a mummy; his skin looks like parch- and ho is toothless and hair- less, but his step is remarkably firm, and his eyes bright and clear. He has the record of his birth, and there is but little doubt that ho is the oldest in the BOOKS F BOOKS JACKSON Furniture COMPANY mm -o- MAN sum, iii AND OFFICE FURNITURE.
