The Triumphs OF Peace.

The following passage will be read with in
terest at the present time, when the whole
civilized world is exulting over the greatest
scientific victory Of the age. 1t is extracted
from a speech Of that eminent and far-seeing
stateman, John G. Calhoun, in the Senate of
the United States, March 10TH 1916 on the
bill for terminating the joint occupancy of
Oregon Territory. After using many weighty
objections to an appeal to arms for the settle
ment of the question, Mr. Calhoun drew
vivid picture of the marvellous progress of
the arts of peace which would be arrested by
war:
"But have still higher reasons I am op-
posed to war as friend to human improve
ment, to human civilization, to human pro-
gress and advancement. Never in the history
of the world has there occurred a period so
remarkable as the peace which followed the
battle of Waterloo for the great advances
made in the condition of human society. The
chemical and mechanical powers have been
Investigated and applied to increase the COM
forts of human life in degree far beyond
what was ever known or hoped before. Civ
iliZation has been spreading its influence far
and wide, and the general progress of human
society has outstripped all that has been pre-
viously witnessed.
The invention of man has seized upon and
subiugated two great agencies of the natural
world which were never before made the SER

ture seemed to separate by insurmountable
barriers. 1t has shortened the passage across
the Atlantic more than one-half, while the
rapidly of travelling on land has been three
times greater than was ever known before

PARALYSIS RESULTING FROM TOBACCO TN
FoLED.-Within few years past tin foil has
come into very general use in the place of
paper as an article in which to put up chew
ing tobacco for general use. The change was
convenient, and the new article grew into
favor among tobacco chewers. AT first con-
sumers had to pay pretty good price for it.,
but of late the article has been cheapened
But it has just received blow that We think
must terminate its entire use 1t is now as
serted, and with severe experience to support
it, that the tin foil has dangerous poisonous
qualities. Two cases have just arisen that
are calculated to give great celebrity to this
belief Police Justice Bagg. of Detroit, and
prominent citizen of Cincinnati have been
attacked by severe strokes of paralysis. in
duced, as the physicians declare. by the pois-
onous influence of tin foil used by tobacco
vendors. If this Judgment be sound we may
expect to see at once general abolition Of
the use of the tobacco.

nseGen. Jackson,. Birth-pIaee.

Some of the newspapers have published the
statements of certain ancient females TO
establish the pretended fact that Gen. JACK
SON was born in the State of Virginia. This
statement was ridiculous in our estimation,
from the first, for the satisfactory reason that
his friend and biographer, EAToN, during his
lifetime and probably by his authority, at
least with his knowledge, stated that he was
born in South Carolina. We find the follow
ing letter in the Charleston Courier. in response
to an invitation to a celebration of the 8th
of January 1912. by the Charleston Rifle
men, the Northern Volunteers and Cadet
Rifiemen. in which the old hero incidentally
claims South Carolina as his native State, and
40 far as he was informed of his birthplace,
il is conclusive of the question:
GENTLEMEN Il have received your polite
invitation to your military ball, to be held In
Charleston, S. c., on the Sth January next, in
commemoration of the Battle of New Orleans,
9Th January 1915. Ii would afford me great
pleasure once more to visit Charleston, the
great emporium Of my native State, and TO
partake with the Northern Volunteers, Cadet
Rifemen and Charleston Rifiemen, officers and
men, the hospitality of your festival; but l
regret to be compelled to say that debility,
arising from continued Affections brought on
by long exposure in the service Of our COM
mon country forbids me that pleasure.
With my gratitude for your kind express
sions with regard to myself, tender you, and
t. ough you to those you represent, the hom-
age OF my high regard.

Marriage i'm High Life.

correspondent writes from Stonington,
Connecticut, August 23d, as follows:
Baron LimbOurg the gentlemanly Ambas-
sador from the Netherlands, and Miss Isabella
Cass daughter of the Secretary of State
were united in holy matrfmOny by the Rev.
Mr.. Walton. rector of Calvary Church, Ston-
ington. The old gentleman was present, and
gave away the bride. The ceremony was
marked. at least inside the sacred walls, by
the absence of all display-quiet and plain,
becoming to sensible folk
The ceremonies, which were strictly priv
ate, in accordance with the wishes of the par
tics. were commenced precisely at O'Clock,

by NJ Van Limbourg. Mrs. Garfield and Mrs.
Ledyard daughter of Gen. Cass) Mr.. Zim-
norman, Acting Consul General for the King
dom of the Netherlands at New York, and
Mr.. Ledyard and family. The bride was
plainly. but richly attired, in an ashes of
roses silk travelling dress, with mantilla to
match. and a maZarine blue French hat of
the latest style. and presented charming APP
pearence. NJ Van Limbourg wore the va
rious decorations his eminent service have
deservedly won for him. He looked between
thirty-fve and forty years of age and present
ed that indescribable air of happiness which
generally characterizes the more Juvenile
members OF the community at such interest
ing moments, with, however, the self posses
sed SaUor fare Of the man of the world.
The responses of the parties were exceed
ingly distinct, the bride in particular making
her answers in a tone low, but so clear as to
be heard with thrilling effect by all; and the
service, beautiful and affecting as it generally
is, lost nothing by the admirable delivery of
the officiating clergyman.
The nuptials over. the party returned for
little while to the Wadawanuk House. The
General in the meantime wendell his way
afoot to the depot, where soon after, came the
happy bride and bridegroom en- route for
Newport, and, after few minutes converse
ton, he bid them a fatherly farewell. The
happy pair proceeded to Newport in the three
o'clock train, where they will occupy the pri-
vate cottage of NJ. Van Limbourg.

Fine Apples.

Mr.. T. c. WHITE left with us yesterday
specimen of Cheese Apples grown on his
place in gefeld.-They are the largest we
have seen this season, one of them weighing
fourteen ounces and measuring thirteen inches
In circumfcrence.-Ndshv Patriot, 17h inst.
Davidson is a good fruit county, but the
Patriot and Mr.. White must introduce into the
arena something larger than fourteen ounce
Apple before they can compete with White
county in the Apple line. Mr.. c. R. SPERRY,
of this vicinity, has had on exhibition at our
Office this week, an Apple that weighed toe,.ty
ounces and of good flavor. He has plenty
more of the same sort, and we shall wait to
hear if the Patriot can beat this. If be can,
he shall hear from us in September, and look
at the mammoth Apple for his own satisfac-
ton, and himself and family eat it too, if
fond of good fruit.-Sparta Times.
That twenty-ounce apples rather gets us,
and we knock under to it for the present, as
our specimens do not contain one so heavy.
But we intend to have it, and all others, beat,
if Davidson County can do it, as we are sure
she can.
In order to draw out large specimens, we
hereby offer a premium of one of Parker's
APple PaTes for peck of the largest apples
grown in this county, sent us by the LIST of
September. This Parer is an excellent thing.

JUDGE DOUGLAS AND MR. IINCOI.N-THE1R FIRST
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-20,Oo 900 PEOPLE PRESENT.
(CsLrresraondeat of Ne ~. z Express.l

(Corespordert Of The N. r Ezpres.)
OTTAWA, ILLINOIS. Aug. Fl.
The representatives of Republcansm and
Democracy in this State-Mr. Lincoln and
Judge Douglas (the Administration are no.
where here)-met at.th;s place by appointment
to-day. and had a public discussion before an
immense concourse of people, on the great
questions that agitate the State. Both
speakers are able; both have the warmest
personal and political adherents, and attract
great attention wherever they appear. The
number in Ottawa to-day, brought together
chiefly from the surrounding country-though
many came from distant parts of the State
could not be less than 10000. Considering
that this is mainly an agricultural region, an
attendance so large shows deep agitation in
the political elements, promising a warm
contest on the first Tuesday in November.
The election for a portion of the Senate and
the whole of the Lower House, as well as
the State ticket, takes place on that day. L
have canvassrd the State sufficiently to be
certain that Mr.. Lincoln cannot be elected by
the Legislature then to be chosen. The
Senatr consists of % members and the House
of SO. Of the Senate, l3 members hold
over and II remain to be elected. In order
10 give the Republicans majority of the
Senate, they must elect 6 Of the II to be
chosen, AZ ii large majority of the Senators
holding over are Douglas men. The election
of of the II, as Republicans, is utterly i'm
possible; indeed, it is conceded that Judge
Douglas VIII have the Senate certainly, and
may have the Lower House. / know that he,
to-day, has expressed himself sanguine of
success. The enthusiasm which greets him
here and elsewhere is warmer than is extern
ded to any member of the Democratic party.
Democracy in this State is so associated
with his name and principles, that an easy
victory would be won by the cOmDina-
ton known here as Republicans, but for
this mighty efforts. He spoke to-day with
great effect, and with conscious power
and weight. 1t is amusing to think how
small and feeble is the Administration force.
and with what utter contempt the Office hol-
ders in many parts of the State, treat the
dictation of Mr.. buchanan.
