As yet, not much for guests, the hotel is built on quite a novel style, it is made almost entirely of boards, the chimney is formed of a hollow pine tree with a tin flue at top and presents quite a es scene. The admission to the spring is free. A notice like following may be seen posted on a pine tree near the spring one come all Come large and small You are welcome to take Some of the mineral Many initials of names of persons who have visited this so to avoid duplication of work. No doubt the Congress will result in great good. During next session of Con- the four Territories of Mon- Dakota, New Mexico, and Washington will vigorously sent and press their claims for Statehood, and many think result will be admission of all, while others believe that no new State will be admitted till after the next Presidential election. It is not at all probable that Territory will be made a State if its division is insisted up- on. Utah also to be a state, but, of course, admission is out of question as long as she chugs to the It appears that Mr. views upon the relations of cal clubs to civil service are not so stringent as was at first supposed, as the Commissioner, in an inter- view with a member of Nat Democratic- League, says that be endorses the objects of that organization, and would con- tribute money to it if asked to do so out of his office. It would therefore seem that Commissioner is merely a stickler for the red-tape proprieties of official life But, to a man up a tree, it looks like a clear case of retreat from the ominous roar of the rampant Democratic tiger. It is opinion of shrewd that the new departure of the Treasury Department in in- creasing the number of Govern- depositions and raising the limit from one half to one million, to such national banks as can give the necessary security, is a wise and liberal policy, calculated to conserve the business interests of the country and prevent the re- of the panicky feeling in commercial channels that the September bond call. This depository system is simply a good scheme of relieving the of its enormous surplus and distributing it among the people the source from whence it came. The publication of the treaty of extradition between the United States and the Republic of is very significant, showing as it does the change from the loose Republican system to that old and vigorous usage of the Democratic party protecting such of our citizens as had become the victims of aggression and oppression, which for so many years was the settled policy of our Government. This treaty is now before the United States Senate, with President Cleve- land's recommendation that it be ratified.

When they hear the marriage if indeed they should hap- pen to pay attention is the first time they that marriage is solemn important obligation, honorable to the parties and to and it ought not to be entered into and lightly, but reverently, dis- soberly, lawfully and in the fear of Thus they join themselves together for better or for worse not having studied each others character and personal and after a while when the passion play is over they find that the next act is a farce and the drama of life is tragic in its con- When sweet sentimental souls meet and woo each other, it is hard to restrain the feelings of the heart that pants tor the day which it thinks will be the final consummation of earthly bliss. The day must be fixed at once. It it is a good chance, young or old, that is sufficient for the old folks. The novelist says that a woman never sees when there is a letter G before it that hide the wrinkles. Hence another reason why marriage does not often pay. The girls of to-day are kept in luxury and ease by their parents until they expect life only a flora Elysium and when they marry they expect their husbands to keep up this do nothing existence of theirs by a small degree of effort. The girl's has been hard at work all his life and is himself just able to keep his beautiful daughter up with the style and fashion of the day and the young wife expects husband just one years old to commence where her father left the one having worked hard all his life to reach his present condition ; and the other just life. If the dear little dainty, delicate, darling, two legged angel is not as she was in her father's house of many her little chalked nose is turned up, and the hard working young man simpers under her frown. Again honest sensible man may marry a man who thinks she is very wealthy and this may be his prime motive in ting with her. Alas he finds that he is mistaken that he has married only a poor, sweet, good girl. Thus disappointed he for- gets that there is such a thing as love, flies to the cup of dissipation and drinks to its dregs, and every day and hour the poor young wife hears from his own lips proof of bis villainy ; but she never gives up ; still too upon her lips, and in her eyes the tears of pity.

Nearly every man spends too; much and thousands spend tar more than they are really able to spend. That is to say, they get in debt. Savings banks extend daily an invitation to save money. They are now three or four such banks in North Carolina and they ate giving much satisfaction. are certain that it is Constitutional for Con- to create the often Postal Savings Banks. They would do a great deal of good no for they be hundreds of communities where the private savings banks are slow to come. The people need encouragement to save. The savings institutions serve this good purpose. In Massachusetts there are probably quite two hundred million dollars in these bunks. They exist all through New En- gland. Banks that will encourage de- posits and pay or per cent, in- will aid the people very much. The success of such bunks depends upon the honesty, and fidelity of the officers. If it is strictly constitutional for the Congress to create such we would be glad to see them introduced generally. Any thing that will promote habits of industry and economy ought to be favored within the Constitution. In England postal savings banks have been in successful operation for many years.

And these crops frequently cost more to produce them than the price for which they are sold. And the worst feature of this and ruinous policy is, that the producer has no more control over the price than a child.

The Headlight had a splendid article last week on doesn't It is a fact that in many instances it is not only not paying business but an awfully losing business. One reason of this is that the world to- day moves faster than solemn thought. He courts, she accepts, they marry all within a very short space of time. They scarcely re the solemnity of the contract before the Gordian knot is tied. When they hear the if indeed they should hap- pen to pay attention is the first time they that is solemn and important obligation, honorable to the parties and to and it ought not to be entered into lightly, but dis- soberly, lawfully and in the fear of they join themselves together for better or for worse not studied each others character and personal and after a while when the passion play is over find that the next act is a farce and the drama of life is tragic in its con- When sweet sentimental souls meet woo each other, it is bard to restrain the feelings of j the heart that pants for the day j winch it thinks will be the final consummation of earthly bliss. The day be fixed at once. It it is a good chance, young or old, that is sufficient for the old folks. The novelist says that a woman never sees when there is a letter G before it that hides the wrinkles. Hence another reason why marriage does not often pay. The girls of to-day are kept in luxury and ease by their parents until they expect life only a flora Elysium and when they marry they expect their husbands to keep this do existence of theirs by a degree of effort. The girl's father has been hard at work all his life and is himself just able to keep his beautiful daughter up with the style and fashion of the day and the young one years old to commence where her father left off ; the one having worked hard all his life to reach his present condition ; and the other just beginning life. If the dear little dainty, delicate, darling, two legged angel is not as she was in her father's of many her little chalked nose is turned up, and the hard working young man simpers under her frown. an sensible man may marry a man who thinks she is very wealthy and this may be his prime motive in ting her. Alas he finds that he is mistaken that he has married only a poor, sweet, good girl. Tims disappointed he for- gets that there is such a thing as love, flies to the cup of dissipation and drinks to its dregs, and every- day and hour the poor wife hears from own lips proof of his villainy ; but she never gives up ; still too upon her lips, and in her eyes the tears of pity. She finds no relief but sweet death. Young man should you ever mar- and see your young wife's eyes filled with tears which perhaps are so pure they would not an angel's cheek, say to your base self. I have right to sadden her young life by my conduct, but now for her sake I'll try to be a man again. If can make her smile once more there's still some- thing worth living tor. Now then we learn that the son that ordinary marriage does not pay is because the contracting parties do not consider well before contracting. man be will- to do man's work in the world and be content with the result. we inherit or marry may be gold and lands the fruits of energy and enterprise.

The benefits accruing from banks are well understood by intelligent observers and readers. certainly intend to increase the disposition to save. Nearly every man spends too much and thousands spend tar more than they are really Me to spend. That is to say, they get in debt. Savings banks extend daily an invitation to save money. They are now three or four such banks in North Carolina and they are giving much satisfaction. We are not certain that it is Constitutional for to create the often Postal Savings Banks. They would do a great deal of good no doubt, for they be in hundreds of communities where the private savings banks are slow to come. The people need encouragement to save. The savings institutions serve this good purpose. In Massachusetts there are probably quite two hundred million dollars in these bunks. They exist all through New En- gland. Banks that will encourage de- posits and pay or per cent, in- will aid the people very much. The success of such banks depends upon the honesty, capacity and fidelity of the officers. If it is strictly constitutional for the Congress to create such we would be glad to see them introduced generally. Any thing that will promote habits of industry and economy ought to be favored within the Constitution. In England postal savings banks have been in successful operation for many years. The people like them. What km I t. B f The symptoms of are happily too well known. They differ in different individuals to some extent. A man is seldom a breakfast eater Too frequently, alas, lie has an excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all events. The digestive system is wholly out of order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be often headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's August Flower, it costs but a trifle and thousands attest its efficacy. Shame Upon Us. Farmer. We can grow successfully with- in the borders of our highly favor- ed State, corn, wheat, oats, bar- rye, buckwheat, rice, cotton, hemp, flax, jute, silk, tobacco, pea- nuts, sorghum, cane, broom cane, millet, clover, orchard, timothy and herds grass, sweet Irish potatoes, bops, peas, melons, apples, peach- es, plums, cherries, and yet we find people confining their labor care to the production of single crops to the exclusion of all. And these frequently cost more to produce them than the for which they are sold. And the worst feature of this and ruinous policy is, that the producer has no more control over the price than a child.
