Bent on Assassination.
Curcaco, Nov. 11."Joseph Ma-
ruska walked into the lower corrider of
the city hall late yesterday afterhoon
armed and intent on killing Mayoy
Swift. Maruska asked in an exciting
mapner to be directed to the mayorTs
office. A policeman took him to detec-
tive headquarters, where the sergean
was introduced to him as the mayor.
Maruska declared the mayor was a
menace to scciety, and reached for his
hip pocxet. He drew a bullaog revolver
but was disarmed.
Maruska swore he would kill Mayor
Sviftand then go to Canton and kill
McMinle , both ot

cuffed after a hard struggle and locked
up.

Bryan got 25,000 more votes in this
State than Hon. C. B. Watsou, candi-
date for Governor. The populists poll-
ed about 20,000 votes, andas it re-
quires 30,000 under the present elec-
tion law for a partyTs existence to be
recoguized, it appears that the populists
asa parly are gone up, unless the next
Lagisluture changes the election law so
as to give them recognition anyway,
which is more than probable.

Longevity in this State.
North Carolina enjoys the rep-
utation of being a very healthful
State, and one noted for the
longevity of people. A striking
illustration of this is furnished by
tbe registration lists of the recent
election, which showed 360,000
numes.
~Lhe forthcoming AuditorTs re-
port shows that there are only
273,612 persons in the State sub-
ject toa poll tax, or only that
many reported, of whom 171,915
are white and 65,697 are colored.
This gives 112,388 persons who
have lived beyond the poll tas
age, which is proof conclusive
thatthe climate and guod living
jin North Carolina are conducive
io longevity, especially to the
longeyity of the colored brother,
Who sbows uo much more numers
ously on the registration lists
than ne does on the tax lists.

Not long ago at a reception given
in Rome at the British embassy, an
Italian baron, who was presented to
the Duchess of Manchester, sighed
deeply, as with relief, and said to
her:,

A paradise of roses.

I linger there a minute,
To greet the mistress of this bower,
The fairest flowTr within it.
She pins @ rose upon my coat,

Her smiles, her kiss, her parting words
All make my toil seem lighter.

With all its dust and noises,

othe Microscope.
The illumination of opaque objects
for the microscope has, for high
powers, been hitherto almost im-
possible. M.Ch. Fremont has de-
scribed an extremely ingenious
method of carrying out the desired
end. Inside the body of the micro-
scope is fixed a concave mirror,
which refiects the bundle of rays of
light received through an aperture
in the side, and rendered parallel by
an interposed prism, through an ob-
ject glass, on to the object under ex-
amination. It is difficult, without
seeing the contrivance, to under-
stand how the eye, and at the eye
piece end, can see the object. This
is clearly provided for by the sim-
ple expedient of boring a hole
through both mirror and prism in
the track of the rays passing from
the objective. From this device
great service is anticipatedin the
shromo photographic study of the
movement of microscopic beings.
Stage Realism.
One of my best friends in Plym-
outh was Benjamin Haydon. His
son, the artist of celebrity, was at
that time a spirited and intelligent
little fellow about 10 years of age,
who used to listen to my songs and
laugh heartily at my jokes when-
ever I dined at his fatherTs, One
evening I was playing Sharp in ~The
Lying Valet� when he and my friend
Benjamin were in the stage box, and
on my repeating the words, ~I have
had nothing to eat since last Monday
was a fortmghtTT little Haydon ex-
dlaimed in a tone audible to the
whole house: ~~What a whopper:
Why, you dined at my fatherTs
house this afternoon.TT"BernardTs

Wha sits na in the big, bow chair
The scornfuT like to fill,
But makTs his care aye inuir and mair
To work the MaisterTs will;
Wha never tines it frae his sicht
At hame or fur awa,
But in daylicht an in midnicht
Keeps thinkin on GodTs law.
That man shell flourish like the trea
That grows beside a burn;
Whaur fruit we see aye hingin free
As simmer days return;
Whase sma'est leaf shall neTer be lost
ThoT ither trees hac nane;
An blithe may boast throT sun an frost
A glossy robe 0T green.
That man may gang to sell or buy
An still good leck comman;
Ye may rely whateTcr he try
Shall prosper in his han,
But wae the men that hellwards lean,
WiT satanTs rule conform;
TheyT stoiter roun till they gang doon
Like stooks afore the storm;
Nor will ae ruscal be allo'd
In paradise to dwell;
For God hath voo'd nane but the good
Bhall sit beside himselT.

~kghe Most Crowded Spot on Earth,
The most crowded spot on the

city of Valetta, island of Malta,
known as ie Mandoraggio.T? In
the whole of Valevia the proportion
is 70,000 human beings to the square
is one locality in which ther6 are
2,074 persons lving on a plot ot
ground less than two acres and a
half in extent. ~nis would give no
Jess than 630,000 persons to the

A Shrewd Fruit Dealer.
An ingenious device for attracting
gustom was that of a fruiterer ina
midland town. Instead of ordinary
plate glass a large number of rough
magnifying glasses formed the win-
dow. Soen through one of these
panes, an orange looked as large as
&# pumpkin, and cherries as large as
apples. A great disadvantage attach-
ing to this novelty was the fact that
at the distance of a few yards from
the window it was quite impossible
to sea into the shop. Everybody
knows that you must hold a magni-
fying glass very close to the eyes to
see anything through it. Neverthe-
less, for some time, at all events,
the enterprising shopkeeper did a
splendid trade."Liverpool Mercury.
BostonTs Famed Brown Bread.
For one large loaf of bread use

Asbestiis,
As asbestus comes from the mine
it is of agreenish hue, and the edges
are furged with loose fibers. The
more nearly white asbestus is the
better its grade. The length of fiber
is also of great importance, the long-
est being the most valuable. From
~the mines the asbestus is taken to
the manufactories in the ya
States.

Thomas Cariyle on Jastice and Success,
In this God's world, with its
wild whirling eddies and mad foam
oceans, Where men and nations per-
ish as if withoutlaws and judgment
for an unjust. thing is sternly do-
layed, dost thou think that there is
therefore no justice? It is what the
fool hath said in his heart. It is
what the wise in ali times were wise
because they denied and knew for-
aver not to be. I tell you again
there is nothing else but jastice.
One strong thing I find here below
"the just thing, the true thing.
My friend, if tuou hadst all the ar-
tillery of Woolwich trandling at thy
iis ah in support of an unjust thing
an Manito bonfizes visibly waiting
ahead of thee to blaze centuries long
for thy victory on behalf of it, I
would advise thee to call halt, to
fling down thy baton and say in
GodTs name, ~~No!TT
Thy ~~suocess?TT Poor devil, what
will this success amount to? If the
thing is unjust, thou hast not sue-
ceeded. No, not though bonfires
blazed from north to south, and
bells rang, and editors wrote leading
articles, and the just thing lay tram-
pled out of sight to all mortal eyes
an abolished and annihilated thing,
Success? Ina few years thou wilt
