"The Western Democrat propounds to certain
very silly questions, which almost afraid to
answer for fear shall be deemed silly the pro-
FOUNDER HadesbOrO Aryus.
In the same paper from which clip the above, We
find the following:
"Mr- Puryear Opposition, voted against bill,
while Mr. Paine, Democrat, and Mr. Gilmer Opposition,
were absent"
Now, any paper in North Carolina that is silly -
enough to put Paine down as democrat, is "slly'
enough to do almost anything else and to deviate from
the rules of courtesy which govern discussions
gentlemen. While the Argus is lecturng news
paper propriety it would be consistent if it would
practice what it breaches.
The Argus is also 'silly" enough not to know that
Mr. Gmer a member of Congress at the time
of which it speaksl! Indeed the Argus ought not
again to talk about any else being 'silly.'
If the Argus did not want to be deemed silly" it
should not have attempted to answer our questions
and utterly fail do In reply to a query as to
how much of the 'bg pay Leach would refuse take
the Argus responds in this "sy" style:
"As much again as half. Now, after you have found
out the half all have to do is to multiply by two,
and you will have the answer"
If anything is more "silly" than the above answer
we do know what it is unless it was the "slly'
in which the Argus ranted and blowed before
the election.
We have not copy of the last Argus probably
might point out few more "silly' things.
Our little Arson county contemporary might as well
keep COOL 1t can't hurt anything. But it would be
we'll for it to try and be less '.silly" and stick little
closer to truth.

APPRECIATION OF LAND.-In abiding to the
great advance in the price of land in the Eastern
and Western portions of North Carolina the Raj
eigh Standard remarks that it Is % more than pro-
bable that the lands in this State have doubled in
value since 1913. This great increase in price,
and the prosperity which pervades all departments
of business in the State, especially that of farming
are largely due to internal improvements The
high price of cotton for several years past has had
of course, no small tendency to promote the gen
eral prosperity referred to- must be recoected
that every thing else has advanced in proportion
to the advance in cotton and that without Railroads.
our farmers and business men would not be able to
reach the markets of the world with their produce
The progress which the State is making in wealth,
in population, and in general intelligence-the
latter the result of common schools and schools Of
all kinds-should gladden. the heart of every
North Carolinian."
A negro boy about Ii years of age, belonging
to Mr. Alex Black of Moore county, hung himself
accidentally last week. The boy and some of
Mr. Blacks children were at play in barn. The
bov taking hold of rope fastened to joist told
the children that he would show them how persons
were hung. He placed the rope round his neck,
and jumping from goods box swung off. The
children alarmed ran off to the house and informed
the family, some of whom went to the place and
found the boy dead.-FdyeterWe Observer.

THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT-The light seen in
Borealis, was very vivid, and was an exhibition
seldom witnessed in this latitude. A learned
writer, speaking of this phenomenon, says
The Aurora Borealis is a luminous phenomenon,
which appears in the heavens, and is seen in high
littudes in both hemispheres. The term Aurora
Borelis Northern Lights has been applied to it be-
the opportunities of witnessing it are, from the
geographical character of the globe, much fire.
quent in the northern than in the southern hemisphere
The term Aurora Polaris would be more proper de-
signation.
This phenomenon consists of luminous rays Of various
coorS issuing from every direction but convergng to
the point, which appear after sunset, generally
toward the NORTH occasionally toward the west and
sometimes but rarely, toward the south. 1t frequently
appears the horizon, vague and diffuse
light, something like the faint sreaks which harbnger
the rising and form the dawn. Hence the phe-
nomcna has derived its name, the Northern Morning.
Sometimes however is represented under the form of
a sombre cloud, from which luminous jets ISSUE which
often variously colorcd, and illuminate the entire
atmosphere
An exhibition so striking the aurora could not fail
at early period attract the attention of scientific
inqurers and to give rise to various theories. Some
suppose be the refracton of the solar rays; others
ascribed it to be the effects of the magnetic fluid.
Euler identified it with the tails of comets. Marian
supposed proceed from the intermxture of the far
extending atmosphere of the with that of the earth
When however, the luminous effects of the artificial
electricity were shown-wAen the electric light trans
mitted through the rarefed air was exhibted-and
when the identity of lightning with electricity was
established these various hypothesis by common
consent Abandoned and the explanation proposed by
Eberhart, of Halle, and Paul Frsi, of Pisa, which
ascribed the phenomenon to electricity transmitted
through regions in which the atmosphere is in highly
rarefed state, adopted Any doubt which might
have hung round this explanation dispelled when
the relations between magnetism and electricity were
demonstrated and although the complete explanation
of the details of the has not been accomplished
the electricity and magnetism of the earth and its at
mosphere must now be regarded as its source

PATRIorIC RAILROAD CoMPANF.-We are
told that the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company have resolved not to patronize the
North any more than is necessary. 1t is
sometimes dangerous for Southerners to have
these black republican, rebellious engines up
on their tracks. We remember riding once
from Tallahassee to St. Marks upon what was
called a railroad. TO our astonishment, on
reaching the station we found that mules fur
nished the motive power. We asked the driv-
er, who was conductor, engineer, and brake
man, all at once, if the company never had a
locomotive. YES" he said, "they once had
one of them dern'd crazy Northern things, and
she run away from 'em one day, and jumped
right off the wharf into St. Marks river. They
didn't know how to manage the Glitter, and
they never got another. '-Prouidence Journal
