DRoPPTNG FoP.-Mr. w. c., Of FL
lott City, a conceited snob, was so fond
of fine clothing that he reveled in them
by day, and dreamed of them by night.
One evening he visited young lady,
and as he removed his overcoat, etc., in
the hall, preparing to enter the parlor,
the lady overheard him uttering the fol-
lowing sensible words:
Taking his overcoat and hanging it up,
he said, "Hang there you fifty dollar
overcoatP Pulling off his gloves and
putting them on the table: LAY there
you five dollar gloves!" Placing his hat
on the rack; "Hang there you ten dol
lar hat" Putting his cane in the cor
ner; "Stand there you fifteen dollar
camel"
Then entering the parlor, he was about
to sit down, when the young lady pulled
his chair from under him, and as she left
the room, said (;
''Lay there, you two cent fool!"
He has not been around that house
since.

fro RE CONTINUED

We noted on Saturday a large lot
of fine cattle being driven through our
streets that in quality and appearance
would have done credit to any cattle raj
sing county in the State. This was one
of the most gratifying indications that
we have seen, and that augurs much we
hope for the future Of our fertile country.
We have no doubt that the wise farmer
that raised and fed these fine animals
will realize more from the capital inves-
ted in them directly and indirectly than
he would possibly have done in the same
amount risked in the production of to-
bacco. BY them he has already put prof
it in his soil, and he will now doubtless
puta good rich return in his pockets;
whereas, in tobacco the profit would have
been made at the impoverishment of his
soil or the diminution Of his real capital.
In all our knowledge of those who have
followed legitimately stock raising,
whether hogs, cattle, mules or horses,
we have never known half a dozen, all
told, yet driven to the dire extremity Of
mortgaging their farms to make both ends.
But we have seen within the last twelve
months list of mortgages six feet long
of small farmers and these chiefly tobac.
co raisers. These simple unexaggerated
truths afford the text aud sermon and
every one can make the application Cor
himself
There is pleasure in raising fine stock
unknown TO the mere slavish drudgery
of farm life. OF the latter he becomes
a mere working automaton with no am
bition or desire for the higher and more
enjoyable affairs of life. In the stock
raiser, pride and energy are stimulated,
and when these are aroused and properly
directed success and fortune and other
attending happiness are sure to follow.
He becomes not only better man and
citizen, but his family share in the good
results, and in these families we are sure
to find books and newspapers and com
forts evidencing the thrift and success Of
the wise head of the househsld. Our
county, as has been demonstrated, can
produce good grass, the chief element in
stock raising. May we not hope its pro
duction will be largely augmented and
thus greatly add to the comforts and hap
piness of farm life, and rendering it one
of pleasure rather than continuous toll
some labor. - Greensboro Monitor.

In all of our knowledge of politi-
cal aspirations in this State, the number
of candidates for legislative honors this
year of grace A. ID. 1878, surpasses all
others. OF the hundred and odd coun-
ties composing the Commonwealth more
than twenty-seven hundred and fifty of
their patriotic citizens have proposed to
sacrifice themselves for the promotion Of
the public good at Frankfort. This al
ready appalling number will doubtless be
increased by at least fifty per cent. be-
fore the ides of August. What condi
ton of the country, or the atmosphere
or moon, that has stimulated this pharse
of political insanity is beyond our com
prehension. On an average there is
about twenty candidates to the county.
All the newspapers of the State now TEEN
with candidates and their cards. If we
were Of a mathematical turn of mind
we might attempt to compute the vast
expenditures that will necessarily attend
the canvass of this mighty army of en-
bryo and ambitious statesmen. We have
often been puzzled to know what became
of the enormous excess of the whisky
product of our State, (beyond its legiti
mate and moderate consumption.) May
not the appearance of thes: biennial ar
mics Of candidates in their relation and
contact with the 'dear people" afford the
solution for its absorption. 1t seems q
man once affected by this mania, like
the smallpox, will ever continue to beal
traces of its dire effects, for of the ordi
nary number of legislative aspirants
ninety-nine per cent. of them ever aftel
cherish fond craving for something
higher.
1t is said in the multitude Of council
there is safety, and we do not see why il
a multiplicity of candidates the logi,
will not hold equally good, and the pub
lie good be subserved. If it should b.
deemed an evil by some, then the pre-
cinct little groceryman that deals in vir
gin and verdant alcohol, finds compensa
ton afforded his craft by the liberal and
patriotic expenditure of postal currency
that returns to the people in divers way
the farmer for his corn he sells the dis
tiller and to the State in the form of Ii
cense and fines.
One overshadowing and gratifying ev
idence it displays and that more can dis
pute is that the spirit of selfshness anC
patriotism has not altogether fed the
country. 1t is this spirit of sacrificing
oneself for his country that makes peo
pie generous and valorous-preservine
its liberties in peace and defending them
in time of war. O,censbOro Monitor

HOW CAPTAIN JACK GOT HIS NAME.
The Way to Fight The Modocs.
COLONEL yAcK KImRrLL.

II will be a surprise to many people
here to learn that Colonel Jack Cambill
is not only an old Indian fighter but
that his proves so impressed the great
Modoc chief in 1850 that the savage
gave himself the sobriety of Captain
Jack" in imitation Of the white chief
who vanquished his tribe. The Colonel
was packer at Yreka in 1856, and the
Modoc chief had turned back the pack
train twice, as having no right to pass
over the Nodoc territory, but Col. Gam
bill told the savage that he would force
his through the next time he visited him
and ne did. The Colonel took up six
hundred men, and whipped all the tribes
between the klamath and the Pit river
mountains. lie found the Indians in
their wigwams and gave the battle in
the grey of morning, followed them
without rest, and pushed them from one
point to another until the savages ac-
knowledgei that he was great chief,
and they promised not disturb his pack
trains any more. Col. Jack studied the
Indian mode of fgh,ing and followed
their tactics, except that he used superi.
or intelligence. As a sharpshooter he
is famous-he can cut the ace out of a
card, and never throws away a shot; his
men were instructed how to save their
lead, and make an Indian fall every
time they touched the trigger Of the gun.
Sometimes the savages tried the plan of
ambuscade, but Colonel always made it
point 10 dislodge them, and never let
the indian think he had achieved victo-
ry. There was no retiring in good or
der, to resume the fight again in a few
days. II they retired he followed il
they attempted to charge he sent as ma
ny as possible to their "happy hunting
grounds" and the Indians soon became
tired Of the combat.
He says they are willy foe and un-
doubtedly good fighters, but his knowl-
edge of Indian habits, acquired by a
long residence among the Creek Indians,
gave him the means of detecting their
stratagemsand avoiding ambuscades. One
plan adopted by the Modocs was very
successful, but they left themselves the dis
advantage of meeting their antagonists
in open fight if the attack from ambus-
cade did not produce decentralization.
Finding the rangers under Col. Cambill
to well generated to be led into an am
buscade in the canons, the Indians resor-
ted to the plan Of lyingon an open plain
with just enough dirt loosened to cover
their heads-not bust to screen them
and yet their naked bodiesassimilated so
closely to the color OF the soil that their
presence could not be ascertained until
they had jumped up and sent shower
of arrows into the ranks Of the
enemy. Each warrior would have a
