At a recent meeting, through deference to the coming Legislature, the time for the ordinance to go 1fito operation was extended to March 15th. Doubtless the Aldermen see that che Legislavure will afford a harvest for Raleigh whis— key sellers and they want to give them plenty of time in which to get drinks. A Disgusting Spectacle. Depravity is bad enouzh in a man, but when it is displayed to a marked degree in a woman the: spectacle is al- most sickening, There was an unknown white woman at the depot Monday night who showed such a want of de- cency in her speech ad manner as to render herselt simply disgusting. She wore a shabby black dress and antiqua- ted straw bat, had a grip and market basket along with ler, and said she hail ed from Massachusetts. Things about the depot and waiting room did not seem entirely to her notion and she indulged freely in vilest oaths in de- nounciag everything in general and Southern customs in particular. Many who heard her were charitable enough to think she was fuil ot whiskey, but to all appearances it was a case of human depravity at its lowest ebb. Doa’t Fail, Please..

It will be Jan- gary before the official votes ip all the State are proclaimed, bu’ The Times semoerat has secured the official totals, and p-esents them in this shape: McKinly 7,044,884 Bryan 6,452.218 Palmer 116,698 Levering 104,427 Bentley 10,678 Matchett 9,942 Total vote 13,732,404 McKinley’s plurality 592,666 These figures make certain sey- eral things of more than passing interest. For instance: 2. That there was no popular landslide in behalf of McKinley. 2. That the plurality of the Re publican candidate was not the predicted,nor the 800,000 figured out by the eastern pres-, but only 592,666. 3. It is not the largest plurali-|' ty ever received by a candidate for the presidency, being below Grant’s in 1872, but little over his in 1868, aud but [ittle over Lincoln’s in 1860, and Buchanan’s in 1856, 4. That the tanular nistement invented by the New York World and made the basis of ali news- paper estimates is an arrant fake 5. That the Democratic party, represented by those who voted - for its presidential candidate, was defeated by a very narrow mar- gin, und 6. That the party is _ stronger and in better fighting trim today than it ever has been after a de- feat. Our readers may sum these things up to suit themselves, They are simply the irresistible @onelusion to be drawn from the figures comp'led by The New Or leans Times-Vemocrat, which will _ Rot vary from those to be official- dy, promulgated to the extent of ‘One-half of 1 per cent.—Atlanta 2 oeaton ae to the financial situation. paniah Government in Cuba : pues of the island for ho sat jfor Justice | law requires the “I-rk Spanish Govern- ment will svon have to choose between the a'terzative of national bankruptcy or the abandonment of Cuba.—Phila- delphia Record. en ERE OE ER A AB OED According to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, President-elect McKinley will probably haye two of the bandsomest horses ever seen in Washington. ‘The late General Joseph T.

It was the Gen eral’s intention before his death that two magnificest brown horses, the best watched pair ia his stables, should be presented to Mr. McKinley to ride behind to thé Capitol on inauguration day, mm the event of his election.

The man of whom he asked the question evidently thought he would have some fun with the farmer. He looked at the latter a moment and then said: ‘‘Oh, that little house there. Oh, that’s about 300 feet high. But that’s nothing to several buildings that are going to be put up farther up the street.”’ ‘Shu, you don’t say so!’’ exclaim- ed the farmer. ‘‘How high mought ‘some of. them buildings going to be?’ " “Six to eight hundred feet, not counting the towers,” replied the smart man. “Shu, you don’t say so!” ejaculat- ed the farmer, “But, say, stranger, how’s the people to get up to the top of them ?”’ ‘‘Oh, that’s easy enough,”’ said the smart man, thinking of the fun he was having. ‘‘They’re going to have pneumatic tubes in them. You get into a box, and they shoot you up to the roof in two seconds.”’ “Shu, you don’t say ‘so!’’ once more remarked the farmer. ‘‘Your houses don’t cover much ground, stranger, do they? Now, out in my part of the country we go in for more land than high buildings.. My brother started in to build a barn once, and that barn covered about as much land as all the buildings in your town put together.”’ “Oh, say, old fellow,” replied the funny person, ‘‘you’re talking through your hat. No man could build as big a barn as that.”’ ‘‘That’s allright,’ said the farmer, ordinary barn, b’gosh. It wasn’t so big at the start, but, you see, it took a-growing, and before it stopped it covered his whole farm—a whole section, sir, about one square mile.” “It took a-growing, did it?’ re- marked the puzzled person who hac been having the fun. ‘‘Say, mister, what are you driving at anyhow? Who ever heard of a barn growing ?”’ ‘Well, there’s not many people, I'll admit, stranger,’’ proceeded the farmer. ‘‘It was the first time that [ever heard of one; but, as I said before, my brother’s barn wasn’t no ordinary barn. You see, he built it of green hemlock, and as he was in a hurry to get it built before har- vest, he couldn’t wait for the wood to dry out. Now, that wood was full of sap when my brother slapped | that barn up, and when the weather began to get warm the sap began to run, and that set the wood to growing. Well, sir, you never saw anything grow like it beforein your life. Talk about your big houses in this town! Why, they can’t compare with the way my brother’s barn growed. He would go to bed at night thinking he had located the door of his barn all right, but when he\got up in the morning he would have to walk a quarter of a mile farther to get into the barn to feed the horses. It got to be monoto- nous, sir, but he stood it all right until the barn began to run off his farm and go over Bill Johnson’s wheatfield. You see, Bill get great store on that wheatfield. He hada big mortgage on his farm, and he in- tended to sell the wheat and pay off’? But the farmer stopped and found that he had been talking to himself. The man to whom he ‘had been tell- ing the story was a block away, and to post for his wife or an extremely ‘mnortant ¢ &ngagement to keep. oe An renee Battery. During a lecture on the subject of “Novel Electrical Experiments, ”’ de- livered before the South African Philosophical society by A. P.

They had them in Antrim, Mul, Run, Canna, Sanday and Syke. The inner Hebrides were trierely fragments of what may have been originally a vulcanic plateau extending Irom Antrim in. the south to the norihof Syke. The succes- sive overiows of bus.tt could be OLD ENGLISH VOLCANOES. From the: teginming or tte story seemed to have been the funda mental fact. There was great diffi- culty in iixing the age, but within the lest few months, in the course of their work in the geological sur- vey, they hed come across evidence their way among the dikes of the whole western highlands... The vol- canoes, however, belonged to a very recent period—to a time actually younger than the soft clay on which London is built. Thatclay was there before the voleanoes began to blaze forth. In closing Sir Archibald re- ferred to the subject of denudation of waste, which he described as one of the most fascinating departments of geology and one which gave val- uable aid in enabling them to deter- mine the age of different strata, and there was, he said, no place where the geologist could study that sub- ject with more profit to himself and benefit to science than along the north shores of Faroe islands, where there were the finest sea cliffs in Europe, some of them 2,000 feet in height.—Edinburgh Scotsman.

Bars of music, accompanied by words, have been written in the album by the composers Rossini, Meyerbeer, Auber, Gounod and Bizet. Verdi has written the names of the three prima donnas who, to his mind, have best interpreted ‘‘La Traviata.’’ The maestro signs his name to the follow- ing, ‘‘D'abord Adelina, ensuite Ade- [lina et encore Adelina.” Finally, ona page alinost yellow with age, in microscopic characters, the pen’ of Hector Evrliog once translated these twe Latin words, ‘‘Oportet Pati!’ which means, ‘One must suffer,’* though the facetious eccle- siastical friends of Mme.
