New Tobacco.
Saturday J. C. Smith and J. R.
Ross brqught the RerLectoR a samp-

from a cure of primings made this week.
The tobacco is nice and the cure shows
tu have been all right. It is the first
jcure we have heard reported this sea-
son. | :

Why Peter Walked The Sea.
oHow much for the trip?T asked a
tourist in Palestine of a boatman who
had taken him to several points of inter-
est on the Sea of Gallilee.
oTen shekels, sir.�
oWhat 1" exclaimed the traveler ;
o10 shekels? Why thatTs an out-
rageous price |�
oCanTt help it sir. ThatTs whav
folks have paid ever since the sea was
here.�
oWell,� growled the voyager, as he
handed over the money, oI donTt
{wonder that old Peter tried to walk
it.�
Cannery.
Last season Mr. J. J. Cory started a
small canning industry here, whortle
berries being the principal article put
up by him. He has tested them thor-
oughly and finds that they have kept in
excellent condition. Several of our
people are using the berries put up by
Mr. Cory and all pronounce {them the
bes. He sent the REFLECTOR some
~to try, and they are all right. We
hope he will increase his plant and do
a regular canning businesg this seascn.
DonTt All Speak at Once.
When the bell to one of the new
phones rang to-day for the first time,
the housekeeper, the cook, the nurse, the
gardner and six children all gathered
around at once. To the man at the
other end it sounded like a repitition of
the confusion around the tower of Ba-
bel.
New Patent. ,
Walher A. Burnett, {of Kinston,
passed through here Saturday and
showed us models of a harness hook
and single tree catch upon which he
has just obtained patents. They are
good contrivances and we have 1.0
doubt will prove very valuable,
In a week or 80 now tobacco curing
will be in fall blast in this county. |

EUROPEAN LETTER.
(From our Special Correspondent.)
Napres, Ir~ary, June 3rd, 1896.
~The Augean stables were doubtless
bad-enough, but. what would a nice
- New E ngland or a Duteh housekeeper.
okecper say of Naples? This city stands
pre-eminent in the bacteria and mi
crobe manutacturing industries. "This
js tot teanc to be derogatory to
Naples at-all, for the interestT, of the
plage is largely referable to the pictur-
esque dirt. Thejtrue Neapolitan face is
not char acterized so much by black
eyes and rosy lips a3 by dirt.and one al-
ways thinks when looking at the chil-
dren of Charles LambTs remark, oTf
dirt were trumps what hands they would
hold.� In rainy veather the streets
are covered with a thin black batter of
mud and the carefully dressed Ameri-
can and the daily o~tubbed� Englishman
find themselves after a few hourTs sight
secing reduced to the real Neapolitan
state.
The streets here are painfully narrow
in fact just wide enough tu allow. car-
riages to pass. On the numerous holi-
days two long processions of carriages
block the business streets from end to
end, and the man who has not yet been
so influenced by the climate as not to
care whether he reaches the bank today
or next week, finds this slow movihg
procession a sore trial to his patience.
The side walks, are even worse,
principal shopping street they are about
otwo feet wide. At one point iu this
@street we saw a man the other day who
forse ont led a goat out of a gate
y opening on the pavement, and quietly
� sat down to milk her. The pedestrians
_respected his energy and the entire mass
moved off the sidewalk 60 as not to dis-
turb him. The Italians are a good
natured people.
The beggars are innumerable. They
conduct business everywhere and there
seems to be between them and the gee-
darmes, who are almost as plentitul, a! ,
kind of understanding that one will not]
disturb the other. There is a magnifi-
cent arcade in the city called the Galle-
_ tia Vittorio Emmanuel, but the pleas-
ure of'a walk through it is spoiled by
. the little beggars who turn, handspringsT
and somersaults in fr nt of You through

~flights of stairs an ee
that land slides in the city are cum-

~not go ou. these inclines so the whole
| domestic economy of the families is ex-
hibited in the street. They live almost
altogether out of doors.and, it is no nn-
and dressed and other domestic scenes
of a more or less delicate character en-
acted in the open air, But all of these
things do not interfere with the charm
of these picturesque, tortuous streets
and alleys. In fact they constitute its
charin and the scene that in Americx
would make you hasten for a policeman
forms here the subject of your snap
shot. It ig something in the setting of
the® ficture"the tall pink and yellow
houses with their dirty windows and
broken walls, the blue, blue sky over-
head, the black streets below; in the
distance across the. brilliant bay Vesu-
| vius smoking his daily pipe"all these
are the cause and though you talk loud-
ly about the advantage of American
| thrift and progressiveness you long to
linger here where omere passive exis-
tence is itselta Lethe.�
The schools, so far as I can learn,
are very good. Attendance is com-
pulsory and the normal instruction for
careful. In all the
grades English, German and French
are taught. The fact that the people
have enjoyed freedom and good schools
for less than one generation is apparent
in the superior intelligence of - the
younger members of the households
The older persons speak a soft, ab-
breviated Italian and one always thinks
of them asa people whos? energy has
been expended for euphony ; but the
children show a quickness of perception
and an.intelligence that 1s surprising.
Many,ot the people »re _complaining
~that the public schouls are, undermining
| not only parental but church authority,
which is probably quite true, and will
be the cause in a few generations of bet-
ter days for Italy. And speaking of
the churches, I have seen nothing in
Italy that so well characterizes the
weakening of the ultramontane view as
a performance at a cafe chantant a few
nights since, when a Franciscan monk
was cariéatured in the drollest and
most irreverent manner, while the au-
dience applauded and encored agin
and again.

~THE NEW CASABIANCA.
Tom Platt stood on the bursting deck,
Whence all his gang had fled ;
The waves that washed the battered
wreck
Rolled high above bis head.
Yet, grim and sullen, there he stood,
Out in the awful storm ;
His face looked like a chunk of wood
Upon a odummyTs� form.

Then came those mocking words from
Quay :
oI've troubles of my own.�
oSpeak, fellers,� once again he cried ;
oWill no one sink with me ?TT
The people, as one inan, replied :
oGo calt on Tammany !�
The wild wind took away his breath,
And tossed his rampled hair ;
To stay he Knew was ceftain death,
His warning had been fair.
Then, yet again his voice he tound :
" &Oh, Clarkson, where is he? .
~Wall no one stay here and be drowned "
Will noone bolt with; me?

The following program of exercises
will be observed during the Sixth an-
nual re-union of the United Confeder-

40 years, wedded in Bristol, Tenn.,
Lucy Medley, aged 11, ~he brideTs
mother having consented to the match.
The little girl ran away ducing the fore-
noon, but was found and brought back
before the time set for the marriage. |
The American Father.
In what J have seen of English |
home life it has seemed to me that
the English father is on terms of a
closer acquaintanceship with his |
daughter than is the American
father. This may be due to the fact
that the American father is much
more occupied with his business,
and also to tho additional fact that
the American daughter bas more of
self reliance in her disposition,
which renders her to acertain ex-
tent more independent and capable
of looking after her own interests,
In acertain sense, especially as re-
yards monetary and matrimonial
matters, it might bo said that the
her to act for herself. Those whe
have made a study of the American
girl can have little doubt that this
independence is good for her in both
a mental and mcral sense, though it
does not follow that the same course
of treatment would be good for the
English girl."Philadelphta Times.

Growing Very Scarce.
If Some Steps te Replenish the Stock in
This Country Are Not Taken They Will

Ciubs Are to Blame.
Western lovers of that beautiful
sport, hunting wild game birds, must
be well satisfied with the vigilance of
the Iinois game warden, Mr. Blow,
~lar positions in adjacent states. En-
ergetic as their efforts are, however, it
is to be feared they come too late to
save the prairie chickens (pinnated
vrouse.) No measures, it is certain,
ean ever make them as plentiful on our
orairies as they were a quarter of a
century ago. Even if their slaughter
«ere forbidden for a term of years, the
stmost vigilance on the part of
Mr. Blow and his assistants
could not prevent ihe vrnual
destruetion of large.. Leskers.

.9 import large numbers of birds from
~oreign countries.
The dark-necked pheasant (phas-
~onus colehicus) has long reigned as
ne king of English game birds. This
oheasant was first brought from .\sia,
ut has been indigenous in England for |
oonturies. They are polygamus in
their habits, and as the brilliant plum-
-ve of the male bird is in contrast to the
omber brown of the hen, good sports-
amen can easily distinguish them apart
~Shey invariably tet the females pass un-

li is impossible, however, when i

~uish the different sexes, so that both
male and fcmale have to fall alike to the
unerring aim of the English country
~entleman. Consequently they would:
become very scarce could not eggs and
The
first imported were the French, or red-
legged variety (caccabis urfa), but they
proved very unsatisfactory, as when
disturbed they prepared to run rather
than fly. In addition, they did not in-
terbreed with the native variety, but
being larger and more pugnacious
threatened to exterminate them. A
~ew years ago it was discovered that
the Hungarian partridges not only very
nearly resembled the English species,
but would interbreed, and dwell in har-
mony with it. This discovery has led
~o the importation of myriads of these
birds; indeed, the business has grown
iirms are engaged in it, and last season
wer 100,000 brace were shipped from
i~uime on the Adriatic, the only port for
the large extent of country over which
these birds are trapped.
Most of them are taken on the broad
plains and low foothills of the Carpa-
thians, and in the valleys of the Rohem- /
ian Alps. In the dense woods that
~othe the lower spurs of the latter,
hheasants are also very plentiful and

T liundred, and pheasantsT about $7, a
yretty high price considering that only
~bout 80. per cent. of these eggs are fcr-
tile. They are usually hatehed by ban-
tams, or common barnyard fowls.
Both partridges and pheasants are
prolific egg producers, their nests con-
taining from 13 to 17 eggs, olive-brown
in eolor, much rounded at one end, but
pointed at the other. Their nests, how-
ever, are always on the ground, and the
owners make but slight attempts to
conceal them, so that the contents fall
an easy prey to their many enemies.
The English variety lay measurably
well in confinement, but their eggs are
frequently infertile. This, however, is
not the case with the Hungarian birds,
who, if pot too closely confined, Jay

HELD IT IN THE FIRE.
Medicine Man Proves His Powers to a |
Zulu King.
Among the great characters of the
Zulu is the medicine man. He uses his
craft wholly by superstition, and states
to his astonished people that the great
spirit of the moon had revealed to him
the cause of the complaint, whether it |
be sickness or crime.
The great Dingaam was a chief who
was a terror to his medicine man.
There was no punishment that was too
severe but he would inflict it in an insin-
uating way on the man of witchery. It
is related that his confidential man and
the great medicine being of the whole
Zulu tribe had come under his suspic-
ion. He was sent for by the king, who
welcomed his witch doctor in cordial
terms. A large fire was burning near
by. The king stated:
oMy man of medicine, your hands are
cold; go nearer to the fire"nearer. Yes,
the right hand is very cold. Put it into
the fire.�
Thus the poor man was obliged to
keep his hand in that fire of white heat
until the member had burned toa crisp.
The command of the king was supreme,
and one indication of the pain would
mean instant death. After the seeming
suspicion of the king had been gratified
he stated that the hand was warm now
and that all was well.
