The Largest olty in he World.

The Largest City in the World.
Avery erroneous idea is induIged in
by many people in relation to the
largest city in the world many assert
that London is far superior, both in
size and the number Of its inhabitants.
But such is not the case. JeddO, the
capital of Japan, is, without exceptions
the largest and most pOpulOu5 in the
world. 1t contains the vast number
Of 100000 dwellings, and 100000
of human souls. Many Of the streets
are nineteen JapaneseTies in length
twenty-five English miles. The COM
meree Of Yeddo far exceeds that of
any other city in the world, and the
sea along the coast is constantly white
with sails of the Southern portion Of
the empire, where they are laden with
rice, tea, seacOal, tobacco, silk, cotton
and tropical fruits, all of which can
find ready market in the North, aud
then return fTeighted with corn, salt,
isinglass, and various other prOduc-
tiOns, which have a market in the
South. -r -..# -.....

In one Of the rural towns in Rhode
Island, through which swept a recent
revival, there dwells a father and
three sons, all of whom had long
voted the Democratic ticket. But at
the last election, the father brought
but one son with him, and to queries
about the others said with a mOurnful
head-shake, They don't vote with Us
any more; they we experienced re-
ligion."

Thal-the bread looks plainly through.
So when you have a story to tell,
And would like a little renown,
To make sure Of your wish, my friend,
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whetber prose or verse, just try
To utter thoughts In the fewest words, ''
And let them be crisp and dry.
And when 1t is finished, and you suppose
It is done exastly brown,
Just look & over again, and then -

For editors do not IKE to print
An article laEily long.
And the general reader does not care
For a couple Of yards Of song.
So gather Jour wits in the smallest space
II you'd win the authors crown,
Aud every time you write, my friend,
- Boil It down.

The Way they Shave q Man i1
China

-
A fellow who has been shaved in
China says that the barber first strop-
ped the razor on his leg, and then did
the shaving without any lather. The
customer demonstrated, but was told
that lather was entirely useless, and
had tendency TO make the hair stiff and
tough, and was therefore never used
by persons who had any knowledge of
the face and its appendages. After
the beard had been taken off-and it
was done in very short time-the
barber took long, sharp, needleshaped
spoon, and began to explore his Gus
tuners ears. He brought up from nu-
me:Ous little erevices, bits of wax and
dirt that had been accumulating since
his childhood. The barber suddenly
twisted his subjects neck to one side
II such a manner that it cracked as if
the vertebrate had been dislocated.
"HOld on" shouted tbe party, a.
Harmed for the safety of his neck. Gan
II hi, I" replied the tOnsor, "me no hart
you;" and he continued to Jerk and
twist the neck until it was Timber as
an old woman's dish rag. He then
fell to beating the back, breast, arms
and sides with his fist, and pumneled
the muscles until they fairly glowed
with the beating they had received.
He then dashed a bucket of cold wa
tier over his man, dried the skin with
towels. and declared that his work was
done. Price two cents.

to their incompetency and injustice. They
cannot, therefore, watch TOO closely the
property required to be listed.
One error into which list takers are apt,
even honestly, to fall into, is taxing the in
incomes derived from professions. trades
and franchises, when the property from
which the income is derived is itself
taxed This is in direct conflict with an
express provision of the Constitution, and
not authorized by the Revenue Act Of the
Legislature.
Section Third of Article Five OF the
Constitution reads as follows
Laws shall be passed taxing, by s uniform
rule, all moneys, credits, investments In bonds,
stocks, joint-stock companies or Otherwise and,
also, all real and personal property, according
30 it's true value in money. The General Assem-
bly, shall also tax trades, professions, franchises,
and incomes, proceeded that no income sh0I o.
tared acten the property from 'chth the tnc0"'' IS
derived is tdred.'
Section Two of Class two Of the Revenue
Act says: "On the net income and
"protits, Otter than that derired from prop
" ertv faced y : there shall be 4
"tax of two and one-half per cent"
1t will be we'll for list takers and tax
payers to bear these extracts in mind, for
otherwise much property or many incomes
will be listed contrary to law.

their value as citizens increased. We fear
those most Immediately interested in this
subject will be unable alone to place it up
on such a foundation ast to master all the
difficulties attendant upon the organization
of such an Association. With the view of
interesting all those who have the welfare
of the city at heart, we trust that they will
attend the meeting on Thursday evening,
and learn for themselves something OF the
real objects and practical workings OF the
organization.
We hope those who may he placed IN

too much, out govern it in the most Geo.

fact, and the primary object be to provide

its members in need of them. Under the
auspices of the Association a number of
homes could be built cheaply and rapidly by
members of the Association, and could be
paid for by instruments, in place of rents
under such regulations as may be adopted.
But this is hardly the time or place to dis
cuss matters of detail. Let us all unite In
the organization of the Building Associa-

prove of great benefit to the entire commu

GLOW 90 Make the Farm Pay"

Chow to Make the Farm Pay" or ths
Farmers Book of Practical Information
by G. W. Dickerman, G.. L. Flint and
others. Zeigler, McCurdy Il Co., PhIla-
delphia, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis
We believe the book with the above title
to be just the book the farmers need They
do not want long scientific discussions, bat
plain practical information such as fill
this Volume. How to make the Farm pay
is just what our farmers want to know. II
any one by long experience and careful
experiments has really any information to
offer the farmers want it. One Of the az
thOrs of the above book has been Secre
tsry of the Massachusetts State Beard OF
Agriculture for nearly twenty years. and
every Improvement upon old methods has
been made the subject Of careful inquiry,
The other names we see in the preface are
those of the best practical Agricultural
men of the country. The result is that we
have work with the latest and most re-
liable information upon every subject con-
nected with farming. The different chap
tiers Of Drainage, Flowing, Manures, In
plements, Grain, Grasses, Root Crops,
Rotation of Crops. Horses, Cattle. Dairy
Stock. Sheep. Swine and other Domestic
Animals. Poultry, Bees, Fruit Culture,
Grape Culture and Wine making, Small
Fruits, Diseases and Insects, Farm Build
ings. Market Gardening, and many other
items. IT has also fine collection OF Re
ceipts for cooking, &c., and chapter on
the ordinary diseases of the family with
plain and simple remedies. 1t is on the
whole most complete work and shonld be
in every Farmers House.
The book is handsome enough for the
parlor table and durable enough for gen
Grafton. There are one hundred and forty
one fine illustrations, not mere pictures
only, but instructive and useful to the cul-
tivators of the soil. We understand that
the agents who are canyassing in other
sections are meeting with great success
and we trust that the farmers in our own
county will soon have chance to secure
this valuable work.
Mr.. +. M. Williams, of this citJ, is the
agent of this work for New Hanover coun-
ty, and will call upon our farmers and 9th
ers, who will have an opportunity of in
specting the work for themselves. We are
satisfied that it is work of great practical
utility.
