It is now thought that in his coming message to Congress President Cleve- land will meke no recommendations aflecting the war in Cuba. Congress meets next Monday. Then the country will have something else to talk about. Perhaps more about what Congress does not do than what it does, however. President Cleveland has bought a house in Princeton, N. J., and will live there after March 4th. Probably real estate in the region of his purchase will take a spesmodic boom. Priests at Wilmington, Del., have fallen out over the singing of the hymn “Nearer My God to Thee” at Sunday services. One of them thinks the hymn is of Protestant origin and forbid its use. The Kansas Legislature is about to declare war on foot ball. A member has introduced a bill to send to jail any person caught playing the gane. ‘Lhe insate asylum would be a more fit place for some ot the long-haired enthusiasts than would a prison.

He went back to court, and Magistrate Cornell told him he had done just right. The child died on Tuesday. The father carried the body in a coffin to Long Island City, where it was buried. Atter Mrs. Sock man had told her story, Magistrate Cornell looked at the woman a moment before he signed the papers in the case.

MORE HOUSES NEEDED.

They may find the desired leca:ion but it houses canno: be had there they are compiled to go elsewhere. And this reminds us that if houses cuuld be rented in Creenville there would be many more people to make their home here the coming year. They know that Greenville is a good place to live and do business in, yet many will be kept away through fauure to get houses. Just at this time we cannot recall a va- cant house in town that can be rented, but we cau point ous some houses in which to or three tamilies live because there are not around. ‘There is hardly a week to go by but what we hear of applications for enough houses to go houses.

TurspaY, DECEMBER Ist, 1896. A HAPPY HOME. A happy home is the brightest spot op earth that the eye of Goa looks down on. Love and peace in his home send a sunshine round a man wherever he goes; but disorder and trouble bring misery every where. ¥ There are few worries of life which a man cannot now aud then shake off, but who can shake binself free from the skeleton in the closet, from the worry 1n the honsehold, and the blister on the Neto in nemo Se heart?) A day will tell how many ®& man carried that with ~ him withous wincing, down to the EA grave. When husband and wife are helpmates to each other in the best sense, when order and love and goodness prevail in the house, then the man who has a hard battle in hfe te fight can Jeave his etiuggles behind him when he entersthere. With ali oux faults, we are the most home loving of people and that is the «Teason why we are the greatest ol people: Whvoever helps home-life 18 a national biessing, whatevor hurts home-—ife is a national curse, avd the greatest curse vhat can touch these blessings is waat woulu tamper with the peace and bless- edness of our homes. It is in the family life that man’s pivty gets tested. Let the husband be cross and surly, giving a snap here anda cuff there, and see how out of sorts everrthing gets? The wife grows cold and unamiable toc Both are taned on one key. They vibrate in unison, give tone fo: tone, rising in harmony or d.scord together. The children grow up saucy, and savage as young bears. The father becomes cal lous, peevish, hard, a kind of two Weged brute withclothes on. The wife bristles in self defence. They develop unnatural. growih and sharpuess of teeth; and the house is haunted by ugliness and do- mestic brawls.—Durham Sun. anna How to Help the Cause. The New York Times, in dis- cussing the question, “What can the government do for the far- mers?” enumerates among others these three things: First, the ‘government, says the Times, cap keep down thw taxes by care and economy in appropriations and _ by faithful administration. Seo- ond, it can shape the taxes so that they shall fall on the far- mers and other consumers as lightly as possible, and so that they shall not enable special in- terests to charge high prices. Third, it can devise and authorize ‘of souad, safe general y which to the metallic i a ea ail “Hote hi eX. " a ddtiutry shall be) ote ourrency, Sg ae” | safer, simpler, aud easier through- out ihe Upion.” : . - Then, in arguing for the neces- sity for a change in carrenev sys- tem, the Times says: system) costly and high when it is mvet needed in agricultural re- gions, and is gathered at’ the money centres to stimulate spec- ulation wnen it is not so needed. There is a lack ot small, well- managed aud safe local banks which can furnish both currency and credit iu the farming dis - tricts with a knowledge of condi- tions that would make their oper- ations secure.’ We endorse thesa words as be- ing eminently true and to the point. We also endorse the de- claration of the Times thai the ‘measures set forth above as being in the power of the government to take should be taken for the benefit of the farmers, as well as for that of the general public The carryizg out of such a policy would mean a condition of pros- perity and contentment in this country such as it has not knowa since the war. But, alas! it is idle to hope for all these blessings from a Repub- lican adwiinistration. “Economy” is a word unknown in the Repub- lican yocabuary; “faithfal admin~ istration” would be a violation ot all Republican precedents, ard the chief spokesmen of McKinley haye already served notice upou the people that protection is to be the shibboteth of the depublican party. The most that can be reasonably expected 18 that the new administration will recognize that the demand of the masses for a change in the currency sys— teru—a change that will giye tiie relief the Times suggests—is one that the parity wil! ignore at its peril._-Richmond D.spatch.

The Patent Office Is a Money Making In- stitution for the Government—Much Time Required to Study Up Cases. The government has recently granted voor two patents, which cover probably the | most intricdte and complex machine | ever constructed. It is claimed that be- | fore the first machine was perfected | the company constructing it had ex: | pended $1,300,000. The first applica- | tion filed contained 204 sheets of draw- | ings, having over 1,000 separate views. During the eight years the case was | pending in the office before allowance | the number of sheets was reduced to | 163. When it is remembered that the | majority of patents have but 4 single | sheet of drawings, and that to require | as many as ten sheets is quite un excep- | tion, the magnitude of the invention.’ ean be understood. The fees charged | by the patent office are uniform for all | cases, no matter. how complex cr how. simple—$15 for filing the case and $20 additional on allowance of the patent. | When this case was filed it was turned | over for examination to an exominer, | who received a salary of $1,800, and he | spent six weeks in studying the case | before being able to make the first ac- | tion. The entire specification was twice | rewritten, each time by a different at- | torney. How much this cost the inven- | tor is not known, but it is rumored) that the attorney who first prepared the | case received a fee of $10,000 and an | allowance of $2.000 extra to pay for | thedrawings. While the case was pend- | ing the examiner who first had it in: charge resigned from the office, and it. was turned over to another assistant of the same rank. This assistant went over the entire ground three times, consuming several weee\s, and finally he was authorized to go to Chicago and spend a month in examining a working machine. Whev the request was first made of the commissioner that the examiner be permitted to make the trip it was promptly refused. For argument the chief of the division then carried in the papers, making a pile some two feet tiick of unfolded draw- ings and typewritten specification, and the commissioner said: “He can go.” WOEOD anu reanui, Below are Norfolk prices of cotton and peanuts for yesterday, as furnished Cobb Bros. & Commission Me apts of Norfok - COTTON.

Divorce in Turkey is obtained with a_ facility which would surprise even our | transatlantic cousins. As_ easily as, Abraham cast forth Hagar, the bond- | woman, and her child, so also can the | Turk open the door of his harem and send out into’the world the woman who no longer pleases him. He has but to give her back her dower and personal | effects. In the upper classes, however, | certain legal formalities are gone | through, and indeed, as the lady is usually protected by her parents, di- vorce is, comparatively speaking, rare. There are instances, however, in Con- stantinople of ladies in the highest of- ficial circles who are not yet very far advanced iii years, who have been di- voreed ty icc, thrice, and even ten times. Amon t's: !...er orders divoree may be deseribed os « faree. Many girls who are not vel > years of age have been divorced 0: remarried a dozen times.

A very great personage, second only to the sultan in rank, un- less, indeed, it be the Sheik U1 Islam, married some few years ago, when his position was very inferior to what. it is at present, a highly educated lady, of good connection and fortune, but, ac- cording to his excellency’s version of the story, of ungovernable temper. Within the year they were divorced and remarried. The lady: ‘soon found her new husband disagreeable, and was once more divorced.
