GENTLEMEN :"For several months
past it has been your pleasure to en-
courage through the columns of you
papers, what is known as the oLeaderTs
~Popular Fund,� a fund to be collected,
with which to purchase some testimo-
nial for the United Siates Cruiser
oRaleigh,� the warship named in honor
of our capital city.
oYour. heariy, sincere and unselfish
endorsement in support of the raising
of this fund, has given its promoter in-
spiration and courage to persever, in
the work, and no less confidence in the
successful result of this fund has been
given by the untiring and patriotic ef-
forts of {hose ladies who have acted as
sponsors for tlie fuud in their respective
towns and cities. To the unflagging
zeal and endeavor of these sponsors, is
the present amount now collected and
deposited to the credit of the fund, lar-
gely due.
Gentlemen of the Press of North
Carolina, as it was your oPress which
conceived and put into positive execu-
tion this plan of saving the State from
the reproach which vested upon her
good name, and thereby aroused the
pride and. patriotism of ourT people,
which has found material expression
through the efforts of those spcnsors
who have forwarded the sums collected,
it now remains for you to happily com-
plete the work so ably begun and thus
far so successiully carried out.
The, Press has given public approval,
and it now remains for it to give material
expression in way of contributions, and
to this end the undersigned requests
that every newspaper in the State make
~up @ contribution from its own office;
every one in each newspaper office can
give some amount, from Editor to press-
man, and if so. desired contributions
may be sclicited from among the friends
and consiituents of each newspaper.
Let every printer in the State add
his or her mite to this fund, and the
sum thus raised for the tesiimonial
which will be presented to the Cruiser
~RaleighT will do credit to the patriot-
ism, liberality and name of the Old
North Staie.
Every contribution will receive recog
nitiow and credit. It is requested that
coniributions be sent.as soon as possible
to the oLeaderTs Popular Fund,�

combine seems to be just as effective
among the republicans of the Senate as
it. was in the House, but. itT had to be
heavily laid upon some of the republi-
can Senators before they would agree to
support the tariff bill arranged by Mr.
Reed and passed by his House, without
amendment. They swore through two
long caucuses ¢hat some McKinley
amendments should be ~attached to the
bill or they, would not support it, but at
the third caucus Boss QuayTs weilding
of the combine.whip was more. than
they could stand and ~they agreed to
support the bill owithout amendment,
thus scoring another decisive victory for
the Quay-Platt-Reed combine. But
this does not make it certain that Mr,
ReedTs tariff bill will pass the Senate.
Some votes will have to be gotten eith-
er from the democrats or the populists
to pass it, and if it .passes President
Cleveland will never sign it.
There is a very decided. difference of
opinion ~in Washington as to how thay
call for bids for the purchase of bonds
will result, the majority seeming to be
on the side of those who think private
individuals will ~not bid, because they
havenTt the gold.
Senator Gray, of Delaware, jumped
upon the ididtic idea advanced by Lodge,
of Mass., and supported by Chandler
(oLittle Billee�), of N. H., that the
editor of the New York World had com-
mitteed high ~treason by obtaining and
publishing the views of prominent Eng-
lishmen on the Venezuela matter and
thé ~issue of bonds, with. the following
vigorous language: oNow, in the
evening of the nineteenth century, you
cannot bark on the track of the dead
thiscountry or abroad. In this country
and in all civilized countries a just pub-
questions. It is not necessary for me
and hour to attempt any inquisitorial
interpretation of a statute for the pur-
pose of stifling an expression of public
opinion.�
There are. lots of lawyers in both
House and Senate who regard, the Su-

Under the yabors caption the Manu-

facturersT
1894, said :
Reports from Nebraska bring tidings
of great di-tress.and of thousands, of
people in dire need of food. The corn
- crop"NebraskaTs main - staple"failed
ulmost completely, the yield for the,
whole State having averaged only six
bushels an acre. The suffering report-
ed promises to increase, and these peo-
ple must be helped until another crop

. times as distress, when afflictions have.
come upon every part of j it, the South
has received the most ready aud liberal
help of otherT sections. This year it
has been blessed with an abundant
= crop, nearly: one-half of the total
_ op. of the conniry having been ~pro-
; | abe in the Soyth.� Its corn-cribs.and
~ meathouses* are full"enough ofor «all
and some to spare for others. Because
of these conditions, the ~Associated and}

__ tion made by the editor of the Manufac-

# the South should gladly avail itself of

take into consideration natural tem-
perament and inherited tendencies?
~There are those, of course, whoare
wise enough to make allowances in
this respect, but are assured that the
average mother, in training her chil-
dren to habits of obedience, order
and good deportment, make as many
mistakes in the direction of .over-
training as the reverse by not mak-
ing due allowance for the tempera-
ment of the child. Some mothers
there are who adopta certain theory
or line of conduct as to training and
allow nothing to interfere with
them, not even its doubtful fitness
for the case in point. In all cases
temperament should be considered,
and an impulsive, quick tempered,
warm hearted and high spirited child
should not be trained in the same
way that suits a slow, even temper-
ed, lymphatic youngster.
ITremember a thother whose course
of training must have been a torture
to her child.. That mother was one
of those line and rule women whose
every glance expressed caloulation,
a woman of such rigid propriety
and method that no ordinary event
could in any way disturb her calm,
cool equanimity. The child inherited
from her father a quick, joyous,
warm and impulsive temperament,
and when on his return from busi-
ness the child would rush to meet
~My
own darling papa;�T and proceed to
climb upon his knee as soon as he
was seated, and throw her arms
around his neck and kiss him, the
mother, shocked at the exhibition of
this. to her unnecessary emotion,
oEdith, get
is not at all polite.�T
Ihave not seen that child fora
number of years, and I often wonder
~if under such severe training as she
) has undergone she could have re.
tained her naturally gay, ardent, im:
pulsive and affectionate nature, or
whether she has become a coldly dec-
orous automaton. For it is without
doubt quite possible to remodel the
plastic: mind and disposition of 4
child. Iknow that in the case of this
lovely little one no. allowance we:
made for ton: perament, but that the
mother, tiaing herself for a model,
commenced early to mold this child
of ardent spirit to walk in the frigid
path of etiquette and duty. It is
doubtful if such training meets with
permanent success, for the inherited
nature will some day be apt to reas-
sert itself; and the natural fire will
thaw the artificial ice that has over-
laid it, even for manyT years. But
~harm is almost sure to come froni
this false system of training, and,
even if natural temperament has an
opportunity to develop later in hfe,
the nature that has. been thus re-
pressed and dwarfed can never de-
velop the lovely traits that would
have been so desirable if: trained in
the right direction. rata alyihie

~Tt is curious that in the We ott |
~Man the term butch or witch is ap-
plied to either sex. Asa proof of |
this we may mention that a writer |
| in The MonaTs Herald - newspaper of
Jan, 24, 1844, in commenting on a
famous witeheraft case which had
recently been ~adjudicated upon, re-
marked, ~According to popular be-
lief, if the witch swears he has not
done itand does not wish to do it, |
| he cannot witch again.TT Another.
curious and novel idea is that it was
supposed to be possible to manufac-
ture a witch. The method of doing
so was given toour informant by an
old man about the year 1875,-who
said that he had it from the victim
herself, then an old woman. An old
woman who had practiced witch-
craft and charms during a great
part of her life had grown very fee- |
ble, and so, being wishful to endow
her daughter with :imilar powers,
made her go through the following
performance:
oA white sheet was laid on the
floor, and beside,it was placed a tub
of ~clean water. The girl was made
to undress and go into the water,
and after thoroughly washing her-
self to get out and wrap herself in
While she stood in the
the sheet.
sheet she had to repeat after her
mother a number of words, the ex-
act nature of which, as she was in
an abject state of terror, she had
forgotten, only remembering that
their general purport was that she
swore to give up all belief in the Al-
mightyTs power and to trust in that
of the evil one. instead. The old
woman died soon afterward, but the
girl made no attempt to practice the
attributes with which she was sup-
posed to have been endowed.�
If cattle were supposed to be be-
witched, it was customary, till quite
recently, to burn one of the herd,
usually a calf, both for the protec-
tion of the others and to detect the
bewitcher, for it was supposed that
while the animal was, being burned
he would be certain to appear cn the
spot, and if he could not get the ani.
malTs neart jate bis possession he
lost Lis power in the future, It was
believed that if cattle which died of
disease were . buried one would be
lost for each one so treated. Dust.
was also efficacious in such cases.
Thus Train remarked that ~~if a
ma | person supposed to have the evil eye
passed by a herd of cattle and one
of them were taken suddenly ill the
owner of the cattle would hasten
after him and take the dust from
his shoes if possible, or; if not, from
the ground he had just trodden, and
apply it to the sick beast, or even if
an animal were taken ill without
any one endowed with the evil eye
having passed near it it would prob-
ably be cured by the dust from the
threshold of a person close by who
.was notoriously @ possessor of the
evil eye.�"Antiquarys* *
