REMARKABLE OccURRENcE.-We were informed,
SAYS the Barnwell Sentinel few days ago, irthe
presence of gentleman, at the Barnwel Drug
Store. that physician of this district, who was
lately out ON hunting excursion, had the barrels
of his gun explode from using portion of the Sen
tinel as wadding. This is certainly very remark
able occurrence but may be easily accounted for
The portion used contained an advertisement of the
BarnVell Drug Store, and from the great quantity
of gas used together with the powder, our medical
friend came near being blowed to Kingdom come"
Persons who are fond Of hunting. WILL in future,
beware of using any portion of the paper that may
contain them. To prevent similar occurrences use
this and last week ISSUE Wonder if that physician
has much of run of practice Exchange .a.,.s
If there is any truth in the above report we would
advise our sporting friends not to use Opposition
newspapers for wadding. A better mode by which
to commit suicide could scarcely be invented than
for man to shoot gun wadded with the editorials
of the Opposition Press. For instance the gas
manufactured semi occasionally for the columns of
the Wilmington Herald is combustible and very
dangerous.-Fay. Courier.

TIE New Ms BIBLE FROM. MoUNf SMAL-The
new MS Bible discovered by Prof Tischendor in
the library Of the monastery Mount Sinai IS TO-
be printed in st Petersburg with great magni6-
cenee under his and at the cost Of the Imperi
al Government. Prof Tischendorf finds strong rea-
sons for fixing its date in the first half of the fourth
century; and, he says, that as q means Of deter-
mining the text of the sacred writings, especially
those of the Apostles it is far important than
even the MS. Of the Vatican. The age Of the new
MS. has already been the subject of lively contro-
versy, a concerted attack having been made upon
Prof Tischendorfs deductions by number Of St.
Petersburg Academicians. His replies were, how
ever, satisfactory that his opponents have become
converts to his belief
This MS. is the oldest MS. of the Bible which has
been preserved in the Christian world. It is far
older than any other except the Vatican MS, to-
which it is superior in age and in completeness for
the MS of the Vatican lacks five books entirely and
one in part Its authority is also confirmed by the
quotations of the early Fathers, which agree with
it more nearly than any other MS "'
Prot. Tischendorf has already filled ten folio vol
umes with Bible documents and may be presumed
to know as much about the correct version Of the
Bible as anybody. His seventh edition of the New
Testament is the standard He will illustrate this
edition profusely with philosophc fac-similes; and
while he is that the original MS. will, soon
as it becomes known, be esteemed throughout Chris
tendon as great national treasure for Russia, he
hopes to make the iditio prineeps Of it a worthy
m onument of Imperial munifcencc, and one which
the whole Christian world shall receive with CRATE
full thanks. -.

OF the services of this gentleman, in his official
capacity, the Portsmouth Transcript says:
"He was in early life devoted by his father to the
service Of the country, and in the year 1912 he
tered the navy as mdshipman. When the war with
Great Britain broke out he distinguished himself
while serving under Commodore Rogers, on the
Chesapeake Bay, and was highly commended by his
commander for his gaantry and good conduct in
some of the most portant battles during the war
of 1s12-13. He was subsequently, promoted to
Lieutenancy, and obtained in 1921 the command of
sloop-of-war, with which he despatched to the
coast of Africa, to aid in the suppression of the
slave trade; and while engaged in that service he
accomplished, by an act of daring chvalry, the pur-
chase Of the Territory which formed the nucleus of
the new, extensive and hourishing colony of Libe-
ria. When war was declared with Mexico, he was
placed in command of naval feet in the Pacific
and performed the duties of Commodore, General
and Governor; and the foundations of religion edu-
cation and social progress were laid by his lnstru-
mentality in many of those outposts Of our West
ern world Soon after his return from the Pacific
he resigned his commission in the navy, and at once
devoted himself to the internal improvements of his
native State. He was subsequently elected United
States Senator from 1851 to 1862 New Jersey is
indebted to him for the completion of many impor-
tant improvements"

The Rockingham Tobacco Lands.
DR.. Emmons has kindly handed us the following
for publication in relation to the tobacco lands Of
Rockingham county, s
To-the Editor Of the Standard:
SIR am induced, for certain reasons to request
the publication Of the following analysis Of the to-
bacco leaf raised upon the plantation of Daniel ".
Courts Esq, of Rockinghan county, NC, obtained
the tobacco during my visit to Mr.. Courts planta
ton last fall together with the soil upon which it
grew. The county of Rockingham is underlaid by
two kinds Of soil, the gray and deep red The gray
is at the surface and is the true tobacco soil The
soil beneath is red and very stiff, and is excellent in
its place, as it holds both manure and water By
itself it is wheat soil, while, if mixed with the
gray, the tobacco, though it grows larger does not
make so fine and valuable an article. The great ex
tent of this gray soil in Rockingham undoubtedly
makes this county of the best for tobacco in the
State. But the quality Of it is variable more in con-
sequence Of the different modes Of using guano and
other fertilizers than from the soil ITSELF A fine
article requires less guano. II, however, heavy
and large leaved variety is wanted, and is worth
more than the fine and light heavy manuring is
called for, but then. there is more danger from an
early frost as it will ripen later On comparing the
analysis of the Rockingham and Havana tobacco,
it will be observed that there is very close resem-
blance, and have no doubt that Mr.. Courts to-
bacco will make fine segar. E. EMMONS.

Mr. HOLDEN 1T may be of interest to your read
Constitution, restricting the Legislature to equali
ty tax on polls In the session of 1S33-'34, bill
passed the Senate, but was rejected by the Com
mons proposing the call of q Convention for the
amendment of the Constitution in several particu-
lars. Amongst the proposed amendments, was the
one that the General Assembly shall not abolish
slavery; and that capitation taxes should be equal
on all persons" The bill containing this PROPOSE
ton was rejected by the Commons when the friends
of Convention held public meeting, and appointed
an Executive Committee charged with the duty of ad-
dressing the people of the State in favor of the mea
sure.
The great subject of complaint in the West, was
the inequality of representation by counties. This
it was proposed to change from the basis of coun-
ties to the basis of population and taxation. The
Committee selected to prepare the address consisted
of ". H. Haywood, W. A. Graham, R. NJ. Saunders,
w. R. Gales, James Sewell, and W. R. Hargrave
The address was confined mainly to the question of
the unequal representation as it then stood
The call of Convention prevailed, and when the
Convention met in 1885, the proposition as to the
poll tax was referred to select Committee, which
the journal shows reported the amendment as it now
stands in the Constitution The Committee consist
There appears to have been no division on the SUBJ
ject, and the measure was adopted without debate.
In Gales Volume of Debates it appears that no de-
bate was ever had on the proposed amendment, but
in debate on another question an allusion is made
to this question by several speakers. Gov Swain
said, he had voted for the amendment to allay the
jealousy and fear of the East. Mr.. Chas. Fisher
stated in substance the same, and added that he
thought the East felt too morbid sensbility on the
subject Mr.. CASTOR replied to this, that the East
s had her apprehension on the subject as they did
from the West desire the adoption of the achite
basis.
This shows very clearly the fears of the East at
that day, and that they insisted the insertion of
this restriction in all future legislation against i'm
posing heavy taxes on the slave population. 1t was
clear compromise. otherwise the Constitution as
amended never could have been adopted. The East
well knew the white population was going West
and the compromise is as binding in good faith as
the compromise in the federal Constitution in regard
to slavery. We defy Mr.. Badger or his followers
to deny this, or to show what Free Suffrage has to
do with the question. The truth is the Opposition
know they have been willing to betray the interest
Of the Constitution in the vain hope of gaining pc
itical power, and hence this undesirable apology.
But it was not my purpose to go into this question:
but to give you the origin and history of measure
which seems destined to produce so much agitation

Tin. After which, both companies having paraded
the principal streets, were dismissed
This was truly grand day for Elizabeth City, be-
ing the first time the companies ever associated an
estrangement having existed between them since
their formation, which we hope is for ever obter-
ated. G So ... -.
The uniform of the Greys is a close-b bodied coat,
with skirts long and broad trimmed with black !;
that of the Guards. a blue frock coat trimmed with
yellow. Gen. Mcdonald, veteran of 1912. was
highly pleased with his reception and expressed him
self in words to this efect-that it was very fine
display, and both companies are an ornament to the
town; that the Guards were exceedingly handsome
ard gay, but the Greys presented more solder.lke
appearance.
Both companies being invited by the citizens of
