One incident, however, shows he could act, when occasion arose, and that with boldness and even dramatic power. During the childhood of Queen Isa- there were frequent political com- motions, and one night the regent, having incurred the displeasure of the adverse party, was pursued through the streets by an infuriated mob. He ran into the house where Baron Did had an apartment, rang the bell wildly, and as soon the door was opened slipped Inside and barred it Presently the ringleaders of mob arrived and threatened to break open the door if fugitive were not to them at once.

A recent report of the surveyor gen- of New Zealand contains an ac- count of a visit to the caves, in the King Country, In the North Island, a summary of which is given in The London Times. The river, a tributary of the which passes through these caverns, lies about eighty-five miles south of Auckland, in a straight line. The caves are about ten miles from railway The country around is A quarter of a mile before the eaves are reached the about twenty feet in width, is seen emerging from the side of a hill under which it has flowed through limestone caverns of various sizes for about twenty A light canoe can be taken along the river through the caves to within a short distance of the egress, where fur- progress is barred by the roof com- down to Hie water. At the en- trance to the cavern the stream is eight feet deep. The natives have never had the courage to enter. The entrance to the cave is feet wide and feet high, and is in the face of a cliff. It is beautifully arched with numerous moss and lichen stalactites. The visitor is taken in a canoe ninety feet from the en- trances and landed on a silt covered beach. By the aid of candles, for all is now dark, he finds himself among ponderous stalactites, three feet to six feet thick, reaching from the roof, twenty feet above, to within a foot of the ground. Everywhere and over the extensive and intricate cavern are seen stalactites and stalagmites of immense size in vast numbers, with marvelous beauty of form and color. At one place the dark vault is studded with thousands of giving it appearance of a starlit sky. down left bank of the stream for , feet, over a large deposit left by , floods, the stream is crossed by means of a foot bridge. From the entrance to the bridge the cavern averages feet in and from to feet in height. After crossing the bridge a sharp to the right is made tip a steep incline for a distance of seventy feet to the foot of the ladder, which leads to a narrow passage feet wide and feet high, which is the entrance to the Grand cavern. Here is the bottom of the narrow shaft to another series of caves above. The well is lour feet across and perfectly regular, as if made by human hands, and its sides are beautifully marked with horizontal streaks formed of laminated limestone. In the grand cavern is an immense mound of materials, evidently fallen from the roof. Beyond the roof rises and forms two domes, one feet high. Forty feet up is the entrance to another cavern. Beyond the dome there is a sudden fall, the roof lower- so much that visitor has to stoop. The length of the grand cavern, at The end of which the stream is again met with, is feet. It varies in width from to feet, and from to feet in height. Up to point the color is a dull brown and light yellow, but in the upper galleries, thirty feet above, there are alabaster and scenes of surpassed loveliness. Twenty feet above the grand gallery is the organ gallery, so called from the of the great mass, feet from its entrance, rising tier upon tier, like the front of an organ with marble pipes. From the grand gallery the main gallery above is reached by a twenty-five foot ladder, and CO feet along it is the Here it is feet in diameter, with smooth sides of hard limestone, and the sound of moving water is heard below. This is feet above where it was first seen Fifty feet from the upper wall is a fairy grotto, and through an arch- way feet in length is the banquet chamber. At the end of this chamber is the white terrace, a mass, in a series of terraces. From this the upper entrance to the caves is reached, high in a wooded cliff above and directly over the lower trance. The report describes other galleries and caves hi the same place, I but these are the principal ones. A Diet of Lean Meat and Water. Life and health can be sustained in- definitely on a diet of lean meat and water, according to Professor J. W. Good, of the Manitoba Medical college. The servants of the Hudson's Bay com- in the Athabasca district and in the Mackenzie river region depend en- on the natural food supply of the country, some living on meat alone and some solely on fish. Great bodily and mental vigor has been retained on such a diet for periods of twenty or thirty years, with singular freedom from con- and indisposition of every kind. Scurvy has appeared only where salt meat has been provided for winter use. Am Ambition Gratified. When Joseph Darby, the English Jumper, set out to learn jumping he said that if he could beat any man in England he would willingly lay down and die. The day came when he was champion, yet because a man hit him with a brick he raised a row and re- fused to die and had his assailant sent to Free Press. Bate Killed by a Home. Franklin, Mass., owns a bay horse known by the name of that is possessed of a peculiar accomplishment. Mr. Franklin's stable, ft rather old is infested by rats that give the horses much trouble, steal- their food and making themselves pests generally. It began to be observed a short time since that in Shiloh's stall there was to be found every morning one or more of tho rodents dead. the crushed bodies of which indicated that they had died violent deaths, but what death was remained a mystery until one of the stablemen discovered that the big bay was himself their Ho was then watched at the work, and the strategy and cunning of the animal is said to be remarkable. He will stand over hole for any length of time without stirring, his cars alert and his eyes fixed on the hole. Then as the rat breaks cover abruptly and hurriedly, as they always do, brings down the sharp hoof of his up. lifted foot upon his little but harassing foe, crushing the life-out of him, and h he fails to strike the wily creature will overtake him with outstretched neck, and seizing him in his powerful teeth throw him against the side of the stall, thus breaking his back. It is but seldom that this curious ratter fails to kill his prey. The horse actually seems to enjoy tho sport, for lie will repent the Trick again and again, and if any one stands and watches him at it he will, without ceasing to on the vive for the rat for an instant, occasionally turn his intelligent eye on the spectator, as if to say. pet him Philadelphia Tunes.

His driver seldom addresses him except in the way of ob- and. having no faith in the power of a cheery voice, relies upon his stub of a whip for an of speed on the part of his team. In , the early days of street railroad travel the cars were provided with poles and the horses hampered by much harness. The poles have gone out, and so most of the harness, and now there is nothing left to impede the animal's movements except the load, often a dead load, behind him. After a horse has supplied a part of the motive power for a car for a few months he develops a considerable de- of astuteness and intelligence. He knows that when the bell rings there is a stop to be made, and comes gradually to a halt of own accord. I Another ring and he is on the move again. There Ls one point, however, at which his intelligence or power of i stops. Up to date he not . succeeded in on the sum- mer whistle. Its tones, ear piercing and weird as they usually are, are en- beyond his conception.

Few are probably the persons who have not time or the other hoard the Sunday school song, Light in the Unless I am mistaken, says a Louisville Times writer, it is founded upon a story told upon the little island of but which might easily have its exact counterpart on most any seashore where a mother's heart beats with yearning love for her sailor son and keeps its fond promise from night to light. Among the simple fisher folks on tho island lived a woman and her son. He was her only child, tho of her heart as well as the of constant dread, for the boy loved the sea as his father had loved it, and nothing gave him so much pleasure as to watch the incoming tide tumble its curling waves the sands.

Then there was parting, and tears shed by the mother, while he looked forward into the great, wide world with all the joyous eagerness of a boy. But with her last blessing the widowed mother promised that every night a light should bum in tho sea- ward window of her cottage to light homeward and to show him that she still lived, awaiting his return.

Each township will be entitled to elect to said convention one gate and one alternate for every twenty-live Democratic votes, and one delegate for fractions of fifteen or more votes cast in the last election, is to say, that has been held in the State, and the attendance was very large. The Convention met and did its work in a very short time, only one ballot being required to make a nomination which resulted in the selection of Mr. W. A. B. Branch, of Beaufort, by a majority of a fraction of a vote. Mr. Branch has always been a good Democrat, he was the choice of the Alliance, and his nomination seems to give general satisfaction throughout the District. The Elizabeth City in speaking of Convention and session was short, having called to order at p. m. it adjourned before o'clock. vote for Branch was not so large as many expected, his friends having overestimated his strength, though his nomination was secured only by a fraction, impression prevail- ed that bis vote would have in- creased on the second Be that as it may there was a general feeling of satisfaction over there suit, all agreeing that it was better the Alliance should have its choice of candidates, and the unanimous endorsement given him was hearty and sincere. Gen. Roberts while a member of the Alliance, was not recognized as the choice of that or but was a for candidate, and if an organ- effort had been made to defeat the Alliance strength given Branch he would have changed the result of the convention.

Bernard, of Pitt, is the Re- publican nominee for Congress in this District against Mr. Branch, that the Republican Executive had met and named him as their man. Whether or not the Com- just put him out to kill him off we are not prepared to say, but they must entertain little or no hope of carrying the District or they never would hare put him up against Mr. Branch. Unless they can work up his popularity in portions of the District to many fold what it is at his home he will be the worst beaten candidate that ever run in the First District. Some idea of his strength here may be had from the election four years ago. In that election Mr. Bernard run as an independent candidate for Solicitor against Mr. Worthington. Pitt county's usual Democratic majority ranges from to but that year it gave Worthington in the neighborhood or majority. There need be no surprise if Mr. Branch gets up- wards of majority in Pitt this such a state of consternation that their leader, Senator Quay, has a resolution which postpones the Federal Election bill until next winter in order to try and stop the damaging debate on tariff bill.

The old Tar has been on unusually good behavior since the railroad came. From first day of last year to the close of July there were live freshets which prevented people from even driving in form the north side of the river. During the months since then the water has not been high enough a single time to prevent pedestrians coming in dry shod. One year ago to-morrow the first passenger train came to Greenville or rather to one mile dis- The daily trips that have been made since that event have brought new life into Greenville and the pulse of the town is gradually quickening and strengthening. Ours is no longer a dead town, but is going forward with that push and that, is bringing it rapidly to the front. The supplement that goes out with the Reflector to-day among the ton growers, is one that was gotten up by Mr. D. Y. Cooper, of son, last December. He had a few of them left which he wished to get in the hands of Pitt county tobacco growers and sent them to us for that purpose. As there are only a few of them we hope no reader will feel slighted who fails to get one of the supplements, and those who do re- one will confer a favor by pass- it around among their neighbors after reading it.

For more than years she had been a member of the Church her membership being at Parker's Chapel, near Greenville, up to 1856 or at which time the family moved from this county to Halifax county. She was an excel- lent woman, greatly beloved by a large circle of friends. She was an aunt of our esteemed Mr. R M. of Soot Pitt counts- delegates will do to count on every time. Returning from the Congressional Convention at Elizabeth City, after a series of delays and stop overs they reached the Junction Thursday morning, and rather than lay over there all day and wait for the evening train to bring them to Greenville, a number of them put out on foot and walked here, a distance of miles. They came in town in good shape an say they went on the gravel train but came back on the gravel. Every one of them would walk that far to vote, too, if it was necessary. New Advertisements. Mrs. R.

Not long after arriving at the house this second daughter was taken with a chill like the first and a case of fever developed. At last report both were quite sick. Tobacco Everybody says beautiful when they look in the window. Pitt has over acres in tobacco this year and the crop will be twice is large next year. If Greenville had good tobacco warehouses the buyers would come here for the crop and farmers would save the freight. Mr. T. C. Bryan brought us some tobacco Saturday, specimens of bis own curing. He brought it right on the stalk as cured, which is the best way to test it. Our are learning rapidly how to do their own What we heard and published last week about two barns of Mr. C.
