THE FUTURE OF COTTON.
There is no doubt at that the
continuance of the price
of cotton would bankrupt the Gulf
States and very seriously
the trade balances of the country.
They are entirely right, however,
who say that it is impossible for
such prices to continue.
Cotton is below the cost of pro

Saturday Night Assault.
Saturday some parties
went to the home of a man named
H. Strum, about seven miles
from Greenville, for the purpose
of making an assault on him.
His wife heard some voices talk-
in low tones near the house
and opened the door to see what
it soon as the door
opened three men rushed in and
started to attack Strum, but the
latter fired his pistol at them and
they fled- While they were in the
house two of them were
zed as Redding Norris,
father in law, Jesse Baker-
Later some parties were again
heard at a window trying to get
in when Strum tired at the window
and they again fled. During the
day Sunday while Strum was go-
along the road another attack
was made on him. Strum
plied to J. W. Smith Esq., for
warrants for Redding Nor
Jesse Baker and W. H.
The parties were brought
to Greenville Monday and placed
under bond for their appearance
at trial yesterday. The two Nor
rises gave bond, but Baker fail-
to do so was placed in jail to
await trial. While here Monday
Strum applied to B. S. Sheppard,
Esq , for a fourth warrant for the
parties.
The above are the particulars
as given us by a gentleman Mon-
day. The parties appeared for
trial yesterday Esquires

Election of a Catholic.
The prejudice against Roman
Catholics seems to be subsiding
in this State, for at the election
last week a Roman Catholic was
elected Judge of the Fourth
district. Yes, Mr. W-
Robinson, of Goldsboro,
who is an Irish Roman Catholic,
was elected a Judge of the
Court in place of Judge
W- R. Allen, who is a Methodist.
So far as we can now recall, this
is the first instance of the people
of North Carolina electing a
man Catholic to any State office,
and therefore it may be
as a new departure or as one of
the inaugurated
by the Populists. We refer to
not in a spirit of criticism or
censure, but because it so no-
table an event that it deserves
special mention. We are pleased
to state that Mr- Robinson is
said to be a courteous gentleman
and able lawyer, and will make an
impartial Judge, but if he had
been by the Democrats
the fact of his being a Roman
Catholic would have lost him
many votes. It is to be noted
that Mr- Robinson did not fall
behind his ticket but received as
many votes as the other Judicial
candidates on the fusion
Thousands of Protestants voted
for him who had vowed that they
would never vote for a Roman
Catholic for any office, and this
shows how completely they
lowed politics to control their re-
opinions. they pro-
fessing to be voting no longer
for party but for men Chatham

In one of the fashionable quart,
of Chicago, according to the
Times, lives an who
has made a fortune as a
tor. He has never forgotten the
friends of his youth, especially
one Casey, a boss mason, who
still lives in Goose Island district.
Casey does not feel exactly at
home in the big house, but out of
regard for his old friend often
spends an evening there with
him- On a recent occasion of
this sort, a heavy rain set in just

Nature as a Mechanic.
Most of the devices in-
vented by men for doing fine
work rapidly can be traced to
Nature, where for countless ages
they have been operating.
The hoofs of horses are made
of parallel plates like carriage
springs. The jaws of the tortoise
are natural
The squirrel carries chisels in
his mouth, and the hippopotamus
is provided with adzes which are
constantly sharpened as they are
worn. The carpenter's plane is
found in the jaws of a bee. The
woodpecker has a powerful little
trip-hammer.
The diving bell imitates the
water spider, which constructs a
small cell under the water, clasps
a bubble of air between its hind
legs and dives down to its sub-
marine chamber with the bubble,
displacing the water gradually,
until its with fishes contains
a large airy room surrounded by
water. In leaving its eggs on the
water the gnat fastens them into
the shape of a life boat, which it
is impossible to sink without tear
it to pieces.

along its interior. A
pine's quill is strengthened by
similar ribs- A wheat-straw if

Talk Hard
Nothing can be more unwise
and remarks an
exchange, than constantly talk-
hard times and predicting
their continuance. This is all
very true. Nothing is more hurt-
to business of a
except, perhaps, actual
panic, than the continual croak-
about hard times.
In very many cases this pas-
time is indulged in when there is
no for it and the result
is the entire community suffers
therefrom- The complaint grows,
and to use a common phrase,
is until it becomes
general and everybody feels it
more or less. We do not mean
to say that the fact of people
talking hard times necessarily
makes them hard, but we do say
that it is a bad practice, and one
from which more harm than good
can come. Norfolk Virginian.
