North Carolina straight Drink"

Ssme years since, when they were
buildiu' the locks on Coal river, l was
over thar at Peytona, an stopt in at
DR.. kellum's.
There was a famine just then, and
great sufferin' among men, women and
children, for want OF tae necessaries OF
life.
Leastwise it was about of the same
thing. Thar was plenty of meat, an
abundance of corn, and no skercity of
chickens; but the rivers were dry, an
whisky run entirely short. Some pru-
dent people had lain in sufficient stock;
but more had not, and the suffering was
enormous.
DR.. Kellum was in trouble, tOo-he
sympathized with his neighbors; but he
had half barrel of ninety-hve per cent
alcohol in his office, and as far as be
was concerned, he managed to fix up
with sugar an water, an gum, an ether,
an sich truck, until he made purity
fair drink. Seein' was friend of his,
he invited me to sample it. Well, 1t
kinder filled the room with the smell,
an just then a man from the Mud
river country came in, on his way to
Raleigh cote house. He smelt the
smell, an says, Pve been nigh two

The chap frightened mp, an he
drawed level tumblerful of that a'co-
hol, an afore you could say 'scat, you
beast down it went.
Kelum he turned pale.
Says the man:
T'm much obleeged to you, that's
sarchin" an he turned and walked
out.
Kellum set as if he'd bin shot, and
then jumped up.
That won't do says he. That's
enough to pizen crowd. Pll call him
back and give him an emetic.'
We both went to the door He wasn't
in sight. | run up to the cricG, an
Kellum, he run down the road, but it
wasn't no use.
Il shouldn't WONDER says Kellum, 'ef

OVER forty railroad projects arc al
ready befors Congress asking for subsi-
dies, while river and harbor improve
ments sought for will amount, in the
aggregate, to over eleven millions seven
hundred thousand dollars The Chicago
Tribune gives notable instance of the
end towards the means in the case of
the little town of Conueaut, Ohio,
which is situated somewhere between
Ashtabula and Erie or midway between
Cleveland and Buffllo, which already
had nearly S25, 1000 of the Government
money, and is hard after more, and
which during the year ending June 80,
1868, yielded in duties collected, the
magnificent sum of eighteen dollars |!
This superfluous harbor it is said will
require annaal dredging at Government
expense to keep it in navigable repair.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, intense
Radical as it is, sometimes stoops to be
just 10 its foes. For example, it says
1.-The Rebel butcher, De Forrest, slaugh-
tered no women or children" Which is
true We can honestly bear the Inquirer
out in this. De Forrest was a cannibal
nobody attempts to disguise that
and for four long years subsisted him
self and his men solely upon picked
Federal prisoners, taking a Colonel on
the half.shell for his own dinner every
day and a Major General on Sunday;
but with all that it was just as the In
quirer says-De Forrest slaughtered no
women or children. He left that for
Sherman and Sheridan and Baker to do.

The Railway Engineer. Of America

Brick Poneroy, in an article recount
ing the heroism of an engineer on the
Erie road, closes as follows:
And who of those who ride ever think
of the engineer. with his oily clothes
his keen eys-his well-trained hand
his advanced position, and his response
biiity Too few of us, we fear; We
chat with the conductor-We tell him
stories-we say he is good fellow,
as he is, but there is another on the
train in whose keeping We are when
rushing over the rails, and that is the
engineer.
Thank God, they are brave, sober,
earnest men. They are undetvalued,
overworked, aud underpaid-they are
not noticed because they do not dress
well-they are seldom thought or
spoken of, because they are working
men, or .meehanics," but who Of us
all are better, braver or more deserv-
ing than the railway engineers Of Amer

The Board of Regents of the West
Virginia Institution for the deaf and
dumb and blind will hold their first
meeting in this city on Wednesday,
April Goth. 1t will be their duty then
TO elect Principal, and if practicable,
to locate the Institution. L. is to he
opened on the first Monday in Septem.
Der or as soon thereafter as it is ready
to receive pupils.
The way is open for Wheeling and
other places to compete for this Institu-
tiou. Romney offers a building gratu-
itous!y which is reported to be well
adapted. Unless other points do as
well or better doubtless the Board will
locate it there, inasmuch as the appro-
priation made by the State for the cur
rent year is only $4,000, so that it would
not be practicable to buy or build.

everything goes on in the most satisfac-

on all sides, in the financial circles

that this is one of the most impor-
tant works now being pressed to COM

in its results not only to the State of
Virginia, but to produce q wonderful
effect in the movement of freight, and
in the direction of travel from the
West and Southwest. So far as the for :

are concerned, it is difficult to estimate
properly the effect of the completion of

the opinions expressed on this point by

it is more to this cause than to- any
other that the late improvement, SO
marked, in the market price of Virginia
bonds is to be attributed.
"a large number of contracts for the

have Just been declared by the company,
and numbers of intelligent and ener-
getic contractors from all parts of the

for immediate aud vigorous work. In
one month from this time between six
and eight thousand men will be at work
on the line of the road, making the
mountains ring with the sounds of their
industry, and additional numbers will
from time to time, be put to work, so az
to insure the speediest completion of the
