Finger died at Newton on Dec. 26th. He had not been in good health for some time but his death was 4 surprise ‘to his many friends in the State whose esteem and affections he shared to a very Jarge extent. Maj. Finger was born in aye coln county, May 24th, 1837., a boy he worked with his ae on the farm and in the tan- yard, ‘and went to such public schools ‘as the neighborhood afforded. At ‘the age of eighteen he entered ‘Catawba college, acting as tutor AMuring his last year there. In 1859 he entered the junior class of Bowdoin College in Maine, grad- uating in 1861 withA. B,, and re- eeiving his A. M, in 1865. He en- tered the Confederate army, and was made Quarter Master Ser- geant, promoted to waptain, and assigned to thé collection of taxes in kind in the Charlotte Congres- sional district. In 1864 he was promoted to Major,.and put in charge of the collection of taxes in kind for the whole State. After the close of the war he entered the profession of teach- ing, and was associated for nine or ten years with Rev. J. C. Clapp}. in conducting Catawba college, the leading educational institu- tion of the German Reformed church in the State. He was an excellent teacher and manager, and retired from the active work because of ill-health in 1874 in : ay which vear he was elected by the ‘Democrats of his county .to the House of Representatives. He was elected to the Senate in 1876, and re-elected in 1880. After re- goeiee from Catawba college ke “became engaged in merchandis- ing andin cotton wanafacturing. In 1882 he was appointed a direc. tor of the Western Hospital, and was chairman of the Board when that splendid institution. was opened for the reception of pa- tients. In 1884, he was elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and was re-elected in 1888. Since his retirement from that office in 1893 he has devoted himself to his private affairs; taking deep interest as a director in the Greensboro Norwal and Tndustrial School, and in the jate campaign taking an active part in the contest in his county. © Maj.

This will be somewhat of a new departare, which > will be watched with interest by other _| States. The Atlanta Constitution says: “There's more genuine music in a listle tin horn blown by a rosy- cheeked boy than there is ina whole Opera troupe: But you must look at it from the right point of view.” Yes, and that point of view must be about seven miles from where the rosycheeked ‘boy is performing.—Richmond Dipatch. as Lenep sau ot a New York Judge. A New York judge has decided in the case of a woman living in that State who went to South Da- kota and secured a divorce from ,|her husband: and subsequently married again, that both the di- vorced husband aud the one ac— quired after the divorce are legal husbands. “By the laws of the State ot South Dakota,” said the judge in his decision, “she is the lawful wife in that State of the second husband. By the laws of the State of New York she is the lawful wife of the first.’ It is therefore, plain that while Wes- tern divorces are not valid in the Kast, although recognized in the Sta‘es in which they were grant- ed, a mest curious condition of affairs might result and, in fact, polygamy could be legalized. ‘The “sailor with a wife in eyery port” has long beer held up as a horrible example, but if the de cision of the New. York court stands, the ladies may be able to turn the tables on men and have a husband in nearly every State in the Union without coming within the penalty of the law, It is no wonder that there are many ( adyocates of a national divorce law, and in view of the decision ofthe New York court it will be found that the Western divorce mills actusily encourage po- lygamy. eee The Man aod H!s House. The ordinary polite inquiry “How do you do?” calls for noth ing but a conventionally polite response, but if a man is past “the alloted age” and a philosopher besides, it may elicit a reply full of meaning and worthy of record. When John Quincy Adams was 80 yeard'old he met in the streets of Boston en old friend who shook his trembling hand and ‘said: “Good morning, and how is John Quincey Adams today ?” “Thank you,” was the ex~Presi- dent’s answer, “John Quincy Adams himself is well, I thank you.

Mr. N. M. Lawrence, Superinten- dent of the Oxtord Orphan Asylum; gives some iuteresting information re- garding it: There are present 211 children, of whom 110 are girls. The cost of maintenance this year is $19,- 200, less the earnings of the asylum which are about $3,500. The State gives $91,000 and the Grand Lodge of Masons $2,500. During the year there were 140 cases of measles among the pupils but not a death resulted. : The.e were only two deaths during the year. The industrial feature of educa ticn is being well looked atter. There is the farm, carpenter shop, broom factory and printing office, Five new brick buildings fave been erected this year, for dormitories, at a total cost of $20,000, with a complete sewerage sys- tem. Mr. B. N. Duke, of Durham, made the asylum a cash gift of $10,000 for buildings, and the Masons raised a like amount. The total cost of maintaining the Federal, State, municipal governments of the United States fur the year 1896 was $915, 345,055. Amorg the dis. bursements were the following: For charities, $146,905,671 ; for education, $145,583,115 ; for rouds, bridges and sewers, $72,262,000; for postal service, $66,000,000 ; for army and militia, $35,500,000; for police, $24,000,000 ; tor judiciary, $23,000,000 ; for prisons and retormatories, $12,000,000, The Pacific coast newspapers © re. port the cutting ofa tree at Coggin’s mill near Sisson, Cal., which is said to have been 404 years old.

Thecoons gather in troops of from 3 to 25 or more after a night’s playing and feeding, and make their way over a well worn trail to the home tree or cavern, the females leading and the males following, clawing one another for first place. The skilled troop hunter follows Atheneum club and were good friends, though Manning thought that Benson was not rugged enough in his policy. A correspondent of the archbishop, who was also a friend of the cardinal, received from Lambeth palace in 1886 a letter in which the Anglican primate said of the Roman cardinal, ‘‘You are not mistaken in thinking that I highly regard his person and his life and value the goodness of Cardinal Man- lning’s heart toward me,” with more lto the same purpose. The corre- | spondent showed the letter at the time to Cardinal Manning, who read it with evident pleasure. ‘‘And I, too,’’ he said, as he put it down, ‘Shave a great liking for my dear sister of Canterbury.’’—New York Tribune. within good range, when he fires his The Lava Lake of Hawail.
