opinion that Mr, Means isin the wrong

A rumor comes from Pittsburg that
both Sewall and Watson are to be

We are of the opinion that both Sewall
and Watson are in the race to the fin-
ish, everything points that Way now.
The Populist Siate Convention met
in Raleigh to-dey at noon. LC.
Caldwell, of Statesville, who only a few
days ago went over to the Populist
party, was made temporary chairman.
Several committees were announcd and
the convention took a recess to give
them time to prepare their reports.

le to find any Republicans in Wayne
It has been suggested that an
advertisement be put in the papers for
some so that a sufficient number may
be found to act as poll holders in accor-
dence with the requirements of the
new election law. Can it be that Maj,
Grant and others in the last legislature
should be parties to an election law
which at the first election held after
the adjournment of said legislature can
-|not be carried out for the want of men
who are Republicans to fill their quoto
of poll holders ? We are not complaining
however, Ict them go, the country wilh
be Letter off without them.

Legal Weights Per Bushel in North
. _ Garolina.
The following table ot the lea)
weights of agricultural productions has
been compiled from The Code, with
amendments since made. It conflicts
in several particulars with the weights
as given for this State in the May re-
port of the United States Department
of Agriculture. This table is the cor-
rect one. All of the weights are piob-
ably too high for the bushel measure of
the average productions, but this is es-
pecially the case with the average
wheat crop, which wonTt weigh 60. Ibs,
per bnsbel, nor will oats weigh 82 ibs.
nor buckwheat 50 Ibs. Peanuts vary
in weight according to the variety.
*This is the table: Wheat, 60 Ibs. ;
rough rice, 44 Ibs. ; ryo, 56 Ibs.; corn,
56 Ibs.; buckwheat, 50 lvs.; barley,
48 lbs. ; oats, 32 Ibs. ; flax seed, 55 Its
clover seed, 60 Ibs. ; peas, 60 Ibs. ; corn
meal, 48 los. ; bolted corn meal, 46 Ils.
peanuts 22 Ibs: : cotton seed, 30 Ibs.
The tollowing productions have no
legal weights given in North Caronne,
but the weights attached are tho se gen-
erally recognized :
Dried apples, 24 Ibs..; white beans,
60 lbs., wheat bran, 20 Ibs, ; ear corn,
70 lbs ; onions, 52 lbs. ; Irish potatoes,
60 Ibs. ; sweet potatoes 55 lbs, ; turnips,
55 Ibs. ; blue grass seed, 14 Ibs. ; timo-
thy seed, 45 Ibs.
In all cases the law provides that ex
changes may be made, buying and et
ling, oby measure, as may be agr eed on
between the parties.�
The legal measures are the hualf-
bushel, peck. half-peck, quarter-pesk
und one-eighth peck ; the gallon. half-
gallon, quart, pint, half-pint and gill
measure, sealed and branded oN. C.�
A good deal ot confusion is eaused
on account of the difference between
the odry measure� quart and the ofluid
measure� quart. The odry� quart con.
tains 67.20 cubic inches and the ofluid
quart 57.75 cubic inches. oKight
quarts make a peck, 4 pecks make a
bushel,� is the old odry measure� ta-
ble ; o2 pints make a quart, 4 quarts
make a gallon� is the fluid measure.
But 2 gallons denTt make a peck. . The
gallon measure is not a part of the
peck or bushel measure at alT, Thirty-
two quarts, odry measur2� quarts,
make a bushel, but a bushel will hold
about 37} ofluid measure� quarts, or 93
ofluid measure� gallons.�

~This explanation is given because it
is well to bear in mind the difference
between bushel, peck and quart meas-
ure on one side, and gallon and quart
measure on the other, and many far-
mers do not understand it." Depart-
ment of Agriculture Bulletin.

Strange Effect of Rain.
There wasa good rain Monday in
the neighborhood of DawsonTs. The
crops were burning up with the
drought. Mr. W. A. Dann rode to
his farm Tuesday and when he returned
he said the rain had the effect of a frost
on the crops. The cotton leaves were
prittle and could be erusned like dry
leaves. Mr, Dunn said the crop was
almost entirely ruined. ~Chere was

The Heat in Chicago.
Chicago, August 11."ChicagoTs
mortuary statistics were broken yester.
day. Never in the history of the city
were so many deaths recorded in one
day. The total number of deaths re-
ported was 164 and the aeaths from
heat prostration 37. Horses are falling
dead on the streets with such rapidity
that they cannot be hauled away before
they become a menace to the public
health, and beginning last night, the
police were under orders to use large
quantities of disinfectants, on such ani-
mals as tall dead in the streets and thus
keep down the stench and prevent
rapid decomposition. It 1s estimated
that at least 1,000 dead animals are ly-
ing in the streets of the city. The
weather bureau predicts a lower tem-
perature for to-day and probably
storms Wednesday night.
eerie
Three prominent Pop. leaders of
Iredell were talking together, shortly
after the Chicago ,convention, about
what the national Populist convention
should do in the premises. One was
earnestly in favor of its nominating the
Democratic candidates. It was neces-
sary to do this, he said, to be consistent
und to prove that they were in ear"
nest about silver. The Democrats had
offered what they claimed to want and
he was in favor of accepting it. No. 2
entered a mild dissent. No.8 was
more vigorous. He was in favor of re-
jecting the Democratic candidates and
nominating theirown men. It might
defeat silver and continue the hard
times and suffering uf the people, he
said, but he favored letting the people
suffer rather than support the Demo-
cratic candidates.
No. 3 is a sample of those who doin-
inate the Populist party. It was his
kind that nominated Tom Watson and
brought about the present complication.
It may defeat silves they say, but, not-
withstanding all their protestations to
the contrary, to them silver is seconda"

Napolevn and Robert Fulton.
The emperor had revealed the
truth to his favorite brother when
he said that he himself would never
attempt a landing on British shores,
but that he might send Ney to Ire-
land. It isa significant straw that
when Robert Fulton offered tomake
the flotilla independent of wind and
wave by the use of steam Napoleon,
the apcstle of science, friend of
Monge and Volney, member of the
institute, displayed very little scien-
tific interest. For some time past
he had been coquetting with the
American inventor, granting him
inadequate subsidies to prosecute
his schemes for applying steam
power to variuts marine engines of
destruction. He probably intended
to keep others from using FultonTs
inventions, That be made no fair
trial of them himself would seem to
show that he had no real use for
them."~~ Life of Napoleon,TT by Pro

PLEDGE THEIR BODIES.
An Uncanny Society Known as
the Autopsy Club.
Ita Members Agree That When They
Die Their Remains Shall Be Given
Over to the Cause of *
Science. arT
There is in Taris a large, carefuily-
organized society of scientists"with
several women members" which has
a ghastly and horrible purjose. Each
member has solemnly pledged himself
that when he dies his body, instead of
having ceremonious burial, shall be de-
divered to his surviving associates, who
shall dissect it, and that his brain like-
wise ~shall be studied and probed tor
its secrets, and finally immersed in al-
cohol, it shall be ranged in a glass be-
side the skull which held if, along with
vther brains and skulls of those that
have gone before.
tion jis the Mutuai Auto) sv seciety (La
Societe dTAutopsie Mutuctie). It is
composed of about 100 living members,
and the dead, whose skuils and brains
are neatly catalorued in a loess case
ut one end of the meeting-rocm, num-
ber 14. Within a few days the 15th
chastly relic will have its place there,
This 15th was in life the property of
-M. Abel Hovelaeque, director of the
Anthropological society, who died a
short time ago. It now rests, immersed
in aleohol, on the table of the Cissect-
ing room, where soon will gather the
man's former comrades to-weigh aad
cut and probe and discuss it, and try to
pierce the mystery which it holds.
The Mutual Autopsy seciety was or-
marized in UST. when sovcral professors
and savants of the Anthropological so-
ciety decided to offer themselves ds ex-
amples in moking 1. saerifice to science.
oWhy,� they asked one ancthe:, oshouid
\.e 1cnder Immediately to carth the de-
serted mortal tenement, the study of
which offers so vast and interesting pos-
sibilities for the advancement of sci-
ence ?�
Another doctrine of the society is
that it would be infinitely better for
families, when an adult member died,
if he should be made the subject of
careful scientific study. In this: way
the children of relatives of tie deceased
might he warned of and tanght how to
guard against hereditary maladies
which might menace them.
It was this double point of view"
scientific and humanitarian"that
brought alout the organizstion of the
Mutual Autopsy society.
tution of the society is carefully drawn
and each member is obliged to sign
the following pledge.
oJ, the undersigned, desire and wish
that after my death an autopsy of my
body be held under the auspices of the
Societe dTAutopsie, duly authorized,
and also under those as well of the
Socicty for the Advancement of An-
thropological Science, both legally rec-
ognized to be of public ut ~lity.
oTherefore, for the purpose of being
useful to science, T bequeath to the
laboratory of the aforesaid association
my brain and any other part. of my
body, or my entire body, if that be
topsy.�
Not long ago one of the societaires
resolved to commit suicide, and wrote
to the president of the association to
that. effect. But at the last moment a
terrible doubt passed through his mind
as he asked himself if his wife would
be likely, after all, to consent to his
autopsy.
He therefore drew up his last will
and testament, which stipulated that
his fortune shovld go to the city of
Paris in case his wife should strive to
prevent the dispositionof his body as
he wished. Then he killed himself.
After his death the Mutual Autopsy so-
ciety claimed his remains and had pos-
session of them for ashort time. Then
the wife, by legal proceedings, secured
possession of what was left of her hus-
bandTs ~body and had it decently in-
terred in the provinces. The city of
Paris thereupon laid claim to the cs-
tate, and the Sociéte dTAutopsie. sued
for the recovery of the suigideTs brain.
Both eases are still in the Paris courts.
One member of the society is quoted
* saying that the thought that his
: aK would be taken out of its box by
ore minent scientists as his con-
freres had rebbed death of its bitter-
ness, and that he now regarded his ulti-
mate end with a sort of melancholy
pleasure."N,. Y. Journal.
Boer Idea of the Gift of Tongues.
