Europe. II this were the end of the

similar evil, till the country escapes from

End no adequate demand for our products
to counterbalance the effect of this drain,
by which the entire country is impover-

process, and yet we continue to so on

our mills and mines, or reduces the wages
of operatives in them to the pauper stand

say that it serves people right to be so
treated. when they themselves foolisbly

s~It is no novelty to have snow

bgIt is no novelty to have snow in
winter, yet the newspapers rarely fail to
chronicle such an event Here, however
is something worthy of record:
There was a severe snow storm in the
White Mountain district last Wednesday
and the snow is a foot deep in some places
above the ledge, on the path from the
glen. The old residents say that never,
since 1916 and 1917. has there been
weather of equal severity at SO early a
period 10 the season."

The greatest study of mankind,

Let us adopt the plan,
OF noting characters of men,
AS they before us pass
(On their journey through this llfe);
Like in looking glass.
Some walk with slow untiriDg pace,
Removing every stone
That could prevent the glorious prize
OF wisdom being won.
Weak-minded, feeble-bodied folks,
Why say they're never well,
(And never WOULD be, if they COULD
Come on the ranks TO swell,
Hot-headed, petty tyrants who,
Will exercise their power
Upon the weak and feeble,
But before the mighty cover;
And gadabouts, who ne'er withhold
From town or State the story
Ofneighbor's wrongs or faults, but In
Their propagation glory,
Kind hearted souls, who never are
Happy unless the rest
Of mankind are in goods and joys,
With equal favor blest;
Well meaning simpletons who ne'er
Have courage to say NO."
But will to every creed advanced,
In assent quickly bow;
And busybodies who forget
The arduous cares of home,
While in performing others work
Their feet are swift to roam.
All pass along Zone goal in view

their attention to the approaching election
The most of our party anticipate an easy

1t is true that a victory can easily be a.
chieved, but we must remember that VIC
tory alone belongs to the vigilant. Let
each of us then be up and doing bis part,
and not let the enemy snatch from our

Eleventh of October is gradually stealing

cessarY to get to the election, and. also
those who are somewhat indiff rent, yet
syupathi.e with US. Such must be cared

votes.
The enemy now lies PROSTATE at our
feet, and if we are wisely diiigent We can
keep hin there. Letus then hy ali means

Heavy Bank Defalcation, 1.-The Fulton
Bank robbed of SCI Geo.

A defalcation in the Fulton Bank. o;
New York city, came to light few days
since. The amount involved is about
100000. The guilty party is w. j.
Lane, Jr., son Of the cashier of the bank.
The su picions of the President were fret
aroused by statements relating to his fast
living, Sc. The officers found, upon ex-
animation, that Lane had pretended to
his father that be was agent of A. B.
Dean, of New Jersey, and was collecting
drafts payable in Bottom and Philadel-
phia, which being placed to credit Of the
father at the Fulton Bank, got his faith
ers checks for the proceeds. 1t is sup
posed that be made fictitious accounts
current with the banks in the ueighboring
cities. which, in the capacity Of assistant
to his father, (on salary OF niue hun
dred dollars year, enabled him to for
ward substitute accounts for those fur
nisbed by the general look keeper. He
would leave for few days uncharged
bills receivable of tho legitimate business
of the Fulton Bank with these foreign
bonds, in amounts sufficient to cover up
his own fictitious operations Lane has
given up to the Bank about $3.50 in mon
ey, also $500 lent his father, as we'll as
horses, jcwelry, &C., amounting in all to
about S 0,000 more. The deficit of S4s,
900 will probably be made good by bis
father. Lane says be has dealt largely
in lottery tickets. Lane is now under
arrest. He is married and lives in his
fathers house. This, we believe, is the
frst case of embezzlem ut in the manage
ment of this bank since its organization.
The surplus of the bank on the last re-
turn was s270,67l--the capital $780,
0OO.

@La Mountain and II adiock are safe

~La Mountain and II adiock are safe
at Ottawa (BytowD) in Canada. They
landed about $50 miles north of Ottawa
in the great Canadian Wilderness. at
point about so miles west of Lake St.
John, the head of the Sagucnay River,
and about midway between the ST Law
renee River and James Bay. The place
is about 800 miles north of WATERFOWL,
so that they must have had a northerly
current. This disproves the story of the
balloon having been seen so miles south
east of Watertown, over ST. Lawrence
County; unless the current suddenly
changed. La Mountain telegr apis that
be has lost everything. They were four
days without food, and without the means
of IN aking fire. They were fortunately
discovered by Mr.. Cameron, who was
looking for timber. probably along the
head waters of the Gatineau River. In.
dian guides were found, who brought them
down to Ottawa in bark canoes. They
we're less than five hours in the air, and
must have landed about 10 o'clock at
uight, having travelled at the rate of
mile a minute, the balloon being fron
four to five mile from the earth. This
extraordinary voyage due north strikes a
hard blow at the fayorite theory Of a
steady easterly current in the upper stra-
ia OF the atmosphere. Ten hours further
travel in their direction would have
brought them to the point where Sir John
Franklin is supposed to have pershed.-
The public will await with lively interest
the complete details of this most extrsor
dinary and perilous adventure.

Let the Lovers of Oysters Rejoice.

A discovery Of an Immense field OF
oysters is thus announced By the New
York IIlbune:--
Last week. party Of five oystermen.
while up Long Island Sound, accidental
~ discovered an oyster oea of Eaton's
Neck, Long Island, about opposite Nor
xaIk, Conn, which upon examination,
proved to be at least three miles in length
by two in breadth, the bed being at least
a foot thick, and composed of the largest
East Rivers" ever seen in this market
The discovercrs swore each other to Sc
creoy, and resolved to N ke their fortune;
but one of the party, going among the
oysternen of City Island, basel y betrayed
the secret for $500. The result has been
that over 300 vessels have been at work
on the bank, fishing up the bis valves, and
planting them for market purposes. On
Monday last, steam tug went up, and
in few hours landed over 500 bushels
at Rocky Point, Long Island, which, for
quality and size, are said to surpa,s any
thins that ever came from Virginian wa
ters. The bed is supposed to be worth
one million of dollars.

In other governments, naturalization likewise can
confer it, but not entirely with us; for with two
species of our population "Indans" and free ne,
groes neither birth naturalization, as possessed
by Congress, can deface and wipe out the Con
stitutional dsqualifyThg "status" of either,-not
that the Constitution had degraded and therefore ex
cludc,l them; but it .1ound them degraded and
therefore left them mhere it. tonnd hem.
Now, if this be so, AMI it is in the most perfect
accordance with the feelings and preiuices OF our
ancestors, we ask can it be possible that they ever
intended that the government by any stretch OF
Congressional authority. naturalization or other,
wise,) should make that clause giving equal
privileges and mmunities," apply to persons who,
in every State were then socially and politically de
graded? We say that the thing is so preposterons-
y absurd that you cannot entertain the proposition
for single moment.
Degradation then. as now, attached to color, ana
not to "caste" Color, and color alone, worked the
disqualification, and the wisdom of our sircs did not
fail to perceive that when color produced "caste,
las they perceived it did, all the legislation on earth
could not etface degradation.

The RAILROAD CONTROVERSY weeks ago
communication appeared in the Greensboro Pa
triOt over the signature of "PlcbS," in regard to
the North Carolina Railroad and its management,
attacking Mr.. Fisher, and abiding to his contract
on the Western n. c. Road. We find in the last
Salisbury Banner a card from Mr.. Fisher stating
that he considered the article in the Intriot so
bitter, manifestly malignant and violent" towards
him, besides being very libeoas and wholly false
in its charges" that he took it for granted the

was furnished by the editors of the Patriot, and
Mr.. F. says:

only nv old adversary and judgc-the " chairman"
of the Senate committee-Mr Jonathan Worth =
"Mons. Tonson come agan"-but this time in a
mask-preferring against me, after silence of some
months, very grave charges of personal nature,
under an anonymous name and publication. This
being so, of course l was without remedy except
through the papers-a remedy AM very sorrow to
fall back upon again.
If the chairman" had referred only to the North
Carolina Road and merely repeated his former state
ment concerning this could afford to let him pass

verdict of the Stockholders of the Road at the last
annual meeting in July, and he was sufficiently re-
buked; but the chairman now turns his attention
to the affairs of the western North Carolina Rail-
road" and very niuriously charges me in this con-
nection. l shall as soon as can get time to
do so, make brief statement of the plain facts Of
my connection with the "Western n c. ROAD, "
| and show, by evidence, how much truth is contain

So it seems that Mr.. Jonathan Worth was moi
satisfied with his report TO the Legislature; it die

would have, viz: defeat Mr.. Fisher and break dowr
the democratic party in North-Carona therefore
Mr.: Jonathan Worth must try his hand again.
We really believe from all we have seen ant
