MExIcO.-Thc Mexican correspondent
of the New York Times, thus sums up
matters in that dclectable country:
"Mexico has not made one step forward
since the Republic was re-established. In
the nineteenth century a nation that does
not progress recedes, and reccdes the more
from the fact that other nations are con-
stantly advancing at an ever-increasing
pace.
The real condition of affairs in Mexico
can thus be summed up:
The executive sleeps and grows fat.
Congress works itself into passion and
accomplishes nothing.
Rebellion is ubiquitous and often tri-
umphant.
Commerce is at as low an cbb as possible.
Industry is dead.
The roads and towns TEEN with bandits,
thieves and assassins.
Impotence is apparent everywhere.
And the people are dying Of hunger"

DIscoNTINUING HIS SUBSCRIPTION.

DIscoNTINuING HIS SUBscRIPrIoN.-
An exchange has the following allegory,
which VIC commend to careful considera.
tion: "a certain man hit his toe against
a pebble, and fell headlong to the ground.
He was vexed, and under the influence Of
anger and selfsuficieucy he kicked the
mother earth right saucily. With imper.
tubable gravity he looked to see the earth
itself dissolve aud come to naught. But
the earth remained, and only his poor foot
was injured in the encounter This is the
way Of man. An article in newspaper
touches him in weak spot, and forthwith
he sends to stop his paper. With great
complacency he looks to see the crash
when he finds he only hit his own toe
against world that does not perceptibly
feel the shock, and Injuries no one but
himself"

BoYHooD's PLEASURES AND PENAL.
rIEs-A youngster came home after g'o-
rious time in the puddles, his face all aglow'
and his boots full of water. The punish
ment for staying in the house the rest Of
the day, did not seem very hard; but as his
little heart warmed upwith the recollection
Of the triumphs Of the morning when he
had waded deeper than any Of his play
mates dared to, he could bear the restraint
no longer, and went to his mother saying :;
" Please, mother whip ME, and let me 60
out again. Human nature could not re-
sist such an appeal, and though the moth
ers heart had some misgivings a. to the
propriety of indulging her son, he was al
lowed his liberty, and received carcss in
stead Of flogging.

PRISONERS OF WAR-As there has
been many contradictory statements made
regarding the relative deaths of prisoners
taken on both sides during tho late war
for Southern independence, resolution
was adopted.in the House Of Representa-
tives, calling on the Secretary of War for
information upon the subject. The fol-
lowing is his report: Number of Union
prisoners South, 26O, $40 number Of Con.
federate prisoners North, 100000; mum.
bcr Of Union prisoners died, 1886 );
number Of Confederate prisoners, died ).
%, ,436. BY this it will Be seen that two
Union prisoners out Of every twenty-threc
died, while two out Of every fifteen Con.
federate prisoners died.

- The other day, says an exchange, q
young lady called at the house Of a friend
and seeing a couple Of not large sized pin
cushions lying upon table which, upon
inquiry, she found had been in use for five
years, suggested to the lady Of the house
that it would be good idea to rip them
open and get the needles. At this the Ia
dy laughed and replied that she thought it
would hardly pay; but upon the other in
sisting that she would find as many as 800,
the experiment was finally tried, when, to
the astonishment of all, 800 needles were
counted out! We don't charge the ladies
anything for this bit ofintormation.

o The Washington correspondent of

q The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Tribune, in speaking Of
Ashley's confirmation, says:
The fight against Ashley in Executive
session was long and bitter. Senators
Sumner and Sherman were his special ad-
vocates, while Senators Edmunds, Gamer
on, Carpenter, buckingham, Scott and,
Fesscnden opposed him in debate-one of
them styling him bold, bad and wicked
man. When the vote on his nomination.
was announced, there was one majority
against him in vote of forty-one; but a.
Senator changed his vote, thus confirming
him by one majority The President says
it was contrary to his judgment to ap-
point Ashley, but he was recommended
by two-thirds of his fellow members of
the House, and the pressure for him was,
so strong that he yielded to what seemed
popular desire.

STOPPED HIS PApER.-The following
anecdotc of the late Swain, from the
Philadelphia Press, is not without its moral
in other latitudes than Pennsylvania
Many years ago Swain, then editor of
the Public Ledger, was hailed at the cor
ner of Eighteenth and Chestnut streets
by very excited individual, who informed
him in the most emphatic terms I" l have
stopped your paper, sir" and proceeded to
explain the why and wherefore, all the
time gesticulating wildly. my gracious,
sir, you don't SO! Come with me to the
Office and let us see if we cannot remedy
the matter. 1t gricves me that any one
should stop my paper" Down Chestnut
to Third, the two proceeded. Arriving at
the Office, Swain said: Why, my dear
sir, everything appears to be going on
here as usual I thought you had stopped
my paper" Then and there the excited
gentleman, whom the long walk, by the
way, had partly cooled, said that he had
stopped his one copy Of the Ledger.
Swain was profuse in his apologies for
having misunderstood the meaning of his
late subscribers words, and regretted that
he had given him the tramp from Eigh-
tcenth street to Third, down Chestnut.
The gentleman went home, wiser if not
better man, marvcling at the stupidity
of editors in general, and Swain in partic-
ular. Before he left, however, he ordered
that the Ledger be still sent to his address.

Too CHEAp.-Thc Sacramento Bee says
that good improved farming lands in the
Southern States can be bought for from
fifty cents to five dollars per acre, and rail-
road companies running to any point South
furnish free passes to persons who visit
those localities for the purposed Of buying.
The surplus population Of the East, Mid
die, and Western States is now turned di.
rcctly south instead of toward California,
on account of the cheapness of land, avail.
ability, and faculties offered to visit the
different Southern States.

THE NORTH CAROLINA GOLD FIELDS

THE NORTH CAROLINA GoLD FIELDS.
Considerable attention is now being d.
rected to the gold mines of North Carolina,
and it is believed that by the AID of Yam
kee enterprise and capital, they will be
made largely remunerative. Prior to 1927,
all the native gold furnished to the United
States Mint, came from North Carolina.
In 1903, a single lump Of pure gold was
found in Cabarras county, weighing twenty
eight pounds. Up to the war, North Car
olina gold had been coined at the Philadel-
phia and branch mints, to the amount Of
S12,0O0,O00. 1t will be seen from these
figures what-a valuable source Of wealth
exists in the old North State.

A miner living in this place has a wife

he wrote her he had been poisoned by
eating cake, and that he had given some
